Budget cuts hinder student loans

BY ROSEMARY LYNCH

With his recent state of the economy message, it is clear that President Reagan's budget cuts will have a profound impact on the college funding for 84% of the students attending Cabrini.

The President is recommending legislation which would result in a severe cut to the Guaranteed Student Loan Program ( GSL) as it now exists.

The GSL is a loan given by a bank and paid back to a bank but guaranteed by the government.

The loans are not based on need.

Any student attending a postsecondary school half-time or more can receive a GSL. An interest rate of 9% has recently been implemented for first time borrowers; if you

have started out with 7% interest loans you are able to stay at that level.

President Reagan's proposals consist of interest subsidy for the loan while the student is attending school, increase of the interest rate, the eligibility of the student will become stricter, and the amount of a loan which may be borrowed will decrease.

All the new proposals are under review, the impact will not be known immediately but it is clear that changes to the system of guaranteed low interest loans will be made.

Arlene Solomon, director of financial aid, thinks that a drastic change in aid so suddenly will be catastrophic. She stated, ''With in-

creasing need and decreasing dollars, students will have to do more on their own to help fund college costs."

Cabrini offers a great number of awards and scholarships as an incentive to high achievement and reward for academic and athletic excellence. They are available on a competitive basis with performance judged annually.

Beth Ann Lieberman, assistant director of financial aid commented, "Because the legislative process takes time, these a:,vards are being made blindly. That is to say the money may not,be there to back the gifts. We are being put in a position of second guessing the government."

No definite decisions have been made yet, but if the present pr~

posals succeed certain things are tions should be strongly voiced. clear. It will be just as hard for Ms. Solomon suggests t_hat stucurrent students to regain aid as it dents sign the petitions that are will be for first time applicants.

Growing concern for ·El Salvadorian plight

BY MAUREEN CARROLL

During a tw~week stay in the Philadelphia area, two Maryknoll sisters are awakening students and teachers to the happenings in third world countries.

Pat Fitzgerald and sister Kathleen Reiley spoke at Cabrini and other local colleges and universities. Fitzgerald was stationed in the Phillipines and the island of Yap for nineteen years, and Reiley was stationed in Tokyo for

ten years.

The purpose of their talks and slide presentation is to get young people to become more responsive to the needs ot others. · " An education is to allow the whole person to grow," Sister Pat said , explaining that people are not as interested as they should be in foreign affairs . We play an im-. portant role in our own education by reading and reflecting what

goes on in other countries.

A first world country is defined as technologicall y developed , such as the United States and Western Europe . A second world country is a planned technologically developed nation such as Russia . A t hird world country is technologically underdeveloped, such as El Salvador and the Phillippines. ' " Persons in the third world are

not apathetic , but just passive toward first world oppression ," Sister Pat said.

Sister Kathleen said , " The voices of the people in third world countries are not picked up by the me<iia."' She also feels that the best way to understand countries is through a " people to people sharing. " How receptive Americans will be to third world problems de-

pends on their interests and concerns, sometimes their social strata.

Residing on Drexel Road with the Little Sisters of the Assumption , I asked them what the y thought of the responsiveness of the people in the area to third world needs . They commented tha t young people showed a real concern, and Cabrini students were serious about the topic.

Editorial

My opinion by

What social activity?

T

•

•

The celebration of spring is once agaih upon us . With baited breath we've waited for the casino night, the dance concert, and the ro'ttd rally. What fun!

Amidst all this mirth and jollity, however, slipping in almost unnoticed, are the worJs of SGA Social activities chairperson Dane Linn, "Nobody is going to say there is nothing to do at Cabrini this weekend."

Shame. Shame that this person has to be so defensive, even when it concerns one of the bigger social activities he has planned . Here is a young man doing a job that he was elected to do, and it is apparent that he faced darted accusations at his competency regularly.

Well, the truth is that there really is a high frequency of weekends in which little entertainment is offered. The fault , however, belongs not to the holder of the social a"ctivities office, it belongs to the office itself.

No matter who holds it, the social 1,1ctivitiesposition will always be a weak one. Hence, no matter who is running the entertainment scene, there will always be complaints that there is nothing to do.

The main reason the position is so weak is Cabrini ·syndrome: Be small, think small ,and do small. Perhaps it has never occurred to anybody that a big name concert, complete with printed tickets, and radio commercials would pay itself off nrany times over. Perhaps it has never occurred to anybody that if each club sponsored one activity a semester, there wouldn't be room on the calendar to announce them all. And, perhaps it has never occurred to anyone that dances with the same people, the same music, and the same long lines for beer just don't cut it week in and week out.

SGA is in a great position to correct the shortcomings oI social activities at Cabrini. While taking a second look at themselves in the rewriting of the Constitution, SGA would be well advised to reconsider the role it plays in social activities.

The office of Social Activities Chairperson should be enhanced not only by two assistants, but by a large committee. This committee could be made up of all the club presidents, or something to that effect. There should also be a faculty advisor to social activities . The person should be able to guide the committee through the necessary organizational and promotional steps required for major activities.

Also, some allowance should be made for front money for big activities. For instance, if $2,000 is needed up front for a concert which will yield $10,000, it should be available.

Finally , the SGA has budget power. If every club's budget were contingent upon the club spons.oring an activity, there WQuldbe an abundance, and a.diversity in things to do . The English /Communications Club might sponsor a film festival one weekend, and the Athletic Association might run a softball tournament the next, and so on.

A well-run, organized Social Activities Committee could easily be arranged. With the advice of a faculty advisor , and the contributions of interested and imaginative students, social activ'ities at Cabrin i could ,be both profitable and entertaining.

In that case things like the Celebration of Spring Weekend would be the rule and not the exception.

Well, nobody is perfect Choosing a speaker for the graduating class of 1981 was similar to Prince Charles' predicament of finding an appropriate wife. Both parties had to undergo much- scrutiny to insure that they had superhuman qualities. As a result, many of the senior class and Charlie's preferences were disqualified because they simply did not fit the bill.

Here are some examples of possible speakers who simply didn't have wfiat it takes.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta came closer than anyone but there was just one thing. It seems the dear woman forgot to fast Ash Wednesday, violating strict Catholic tradition and eliminating her from the race completely. Some people in high places disapproved of Lisa "Hussy" Richette and Debby Boone blew it when she slipped and mentioned the bit about wearing black patent leather shoes and mini-skirts in 4th grade. · Abby Hoffman's name got an automatic no because you can't have your coke and eat it too.

Presidents always make good graduation speakers but our current one is divorced, our former one lusts in his heart, and our local one threw one too many slumber parties. Other political figures mentioned were Rita Jenrette but she bared a little more than her soul and God knows what she would have done on the Mansion steps.

We thought Mick Jagger and Keith Richards could have come up with a pretty decent speech between the two of them but people here are afraid of a little rain on graduation, let alone snow .

Well, here's what it takes to make a good commencement speaker, we learned by observing recent graduations. Being _a fo!'mer Miss America, a Miss Clairol blonde, a Board of Trustees member, having two babies and 17 Masters Degrees, owing everything to Daddy and boring people about how superior you are and how inferior they are should greatly increase your chances of being commencement speaker .

Our last hope was a guy named J.C. but his secretary tells us he doesn't have the transportation to get here and what's more, when we checked his birth records we found his mother was unmarried at the time of conception.

The Loquitur will stand behind any decision to refuse tuition from divorced parents. Perhaps we should consider barring divorced or estranged parents from attending commencement exercises as well.

After all, if that's the reason Phil Donahue can't come . ..

The student services offered at Cabrini have been under fire by many people for a long time. It has just been recently that anything productive is being done concerning student activities and all around student life.

There are, I know two sides to every issue, everyone believing they are trying their best. But in reality are they?

The student services offered lo students is broken down into six departments. These include the Dean of Students office, Campus Ministry, Resident Life, Medical Services, Counseling and the Food Service.

When evaluating these departments one must look at all aspects of their supposed roles to the campus community. However, before evaluating the individual departments you first have to look to where they receive direction.

The Dean of Students Office is in simple terms the chairman of all student services departments. The Dean OKs all activities or she does not OK them, that's how it goes. From this office also comes support, guidance and direction to all those under her command.

This is where our student services need restructuring and evaluation. There i[; a definite problem concerning students and the time is now to remedy it.

There are so many on-campus activities that could happen with no real problem . We haven 't the facilities yet for extravagant activites, but there are places to hold small functions and get-togethers.

It seems that the students themselves have more initiative than the administration. Our intra murals program has sparked a lot of enthusiasm and broken the monotony of those long weekday nights.

SGA has tried to coordinate clubs to work together sponsoring activities, because of the limited budget each receives and to also foster the feeling of unity between them .

This is all well and good, but where is the direction and initiative that is needed from our Dean? Her role on campus is to work with the students and for them .

The student services at Cabrini has been held back by lack of interest and communication. There is now a resurge _nce in the program with the help of new people and new ideas, but where has all the interest been for four years?

The new student building has helped move our needs forward, but my question is and will continue to be "Where is the authority, interest and drive we have needed and will continue to need?"

Letters Write to oppose student loan cuts Dear Students, Students and parents in the middle-income bracket will be' hardest hit if President Reagan 's plan for educational spending slashes is approved.

The proposal to lop off two to three billion dollars from the current student aid program could drastically affect the higher education community while having a demoralizing effect on the secondary education level.

This could have the effect of forcing many current high school seniors to discard their plans to attend college and go into a job market that offers few jobs.

To curtail the number of Guaranteed Student Loans alloca ted to middle- and upper-income families, the Reagan proposal would limit the size of loans to the amount a student needs to cover education costs after other sources of student aid and family income are taken into account.

Under the proposed changes in both the Guaranteed Student Loan ( GSL) and Pell Grant ( formerly BEOG) programs, middle-income families would feel the impact most. Present law requires families earning less than $25,000 annually to contribute up to 14 percent of their disposable income.

The Reagan plan would require them to contribute 20 percent of their income to education costs.

Wealthier families may have to pay more.

The loan-reform plan would reduce federal subsidies even for the neediest students by ending the federal policy of paying the interest on loans while borrowers are still in college.

In addition, another source of federal aid to deserving college students-social security payments-would be eliminated entirely.

The education community, is gearing up to resist this action, · and as an important sector of this ·

commumty the National Association of College Admissions Counsel ors is mounting a major campaign to figh t the proposed cuts .

Cabrini College and its staff have been asked to participate in this campaign on behalf of the students they serve.

However , to be effective , we need the support of all parents and students. Not just your moral support, but a real effort to let your voice be heard in Washington .

Don ' t delay! A grassroots response is necessary to save the financial aid that has enabled thousands of students to attain a quality - higher education. Write immediately to your congressional representatives and to the persons listed below. This is how legislators are influenced. .

We in the education community are doing all we can to save the present program of financial aid to

deserving students. It's also up to you, the parents and students yourselves, to support this effor t T he stakes are high ! Don't let this important opportunity slip by ! Write today!

3 ¡What do you think?

REPORTER Florence Lania and photographer Catherine Humes asked male members of the college community : What do you think of the ERA amendment?

â&#x20AC;˘

Sulamon Allyn ( sophomore) " I believe in the ERA amendment. Women should benefit along with the men . Men shouldn ' t be the dominant figures in our society ."

Forum, Arllls fn El Salvador: ...

IS it worth U.S. eff art?

In defense of intervention

Tony Ciro ( sophomore) " I don't think ERA is necessary because I don't see what it gives women that they don' t already have. In order for it to be effective the amendment should be revised. " Chris Collins (junior ) "For many years women have been striving to obtain better positions in the business fields. Women have felt that men have been getting the higher positions because they were men. In reality we know that women are capable and should be given a chance to run or work in any field of their choice ."

Brian P . Jensen ( freshman) " I think that any person should get the same pay and be eligible for a certain position if they' re qualified."

Ron Katkocin " For my understanding of what ERA is, it is just a restatement of laws which are already in the books but aren't always in effect.

And I don't think that by making an amendment these laws for , equality will be anymore effective.

Since, as I see it, the ERA is merely a restatement. I don't think it necessitates a constitutional amendment, which should be reserved for major changes."

Kevin Kelly (junior) " I think that women have every right. to be equal but it is nonsense for it to be passed through legislation. It -should be out of common courtesy for women to have these same opportunities ."

â&#x20AC;˘

Frank Morelli (junior)" I think that women should be paid just as much as men in any job situation. There is no reason why a woman shouldn ' t be paid as much as a man if she has the same qualifications ."

Gus Nicoletti"I think that it is important that both men and women have equal opportunity for employemnt, wages and benefits."

Andy Zipfel ( freshman) "I'm for ERA but I'm not sure that women understand what it entails. I'm not fully sure if they understnad that they might have to go to war. Is it worth it to them?"

BY J.P. GIRARD, Ph. D. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF HISTORY

President Ronald .Reagan's pledge to support the government of El Salvador 's battle against leftist insurgents is a key foreign policy action at the outset of his administration . Amid initial public concern and debate, President Reagan intends to act aggressively to thwart "Communist inspired and directed revolution" in Central America . The United States will supply the government of President Jose Na poleon Duarte with millions of dollars in military supplies and weapons, and Reagan has ordered military advisors to El Salvador to assist that nation's armed forces . Reagan supporters believe he is acting properly to challenge Soviet and Cuban backed guerillas who have exercised too much violent license lately in Central America. The President's critics maintain that he is leading the United States into another Vietnam style quagmire, supporting an evil government lacking popular backing.

The El Salvador-Vietnam . comparison , that seems to concern

most Americans, is a dubious argument at best , and it may -be downright deceiving . The United States has clear and traditional national self-interests in Central America , interests that remain critical to the economic and political security of this nation . That was not the case in South East Asia . Then , too, the Duarte government in El Salvador requires scrutiny . It is a rightwinged military junta, but that does not automatically define the regime as uniquely opporessive or lacking public support. On the contrary, strong evidence exists to suggest that the militant leftist elements in El Salvador have failed to generate large popular followings within the country . Without outside assistance and arms from Cuba and Nicaragua, the guerilla movement would have already collapsed. That condition contrasts with the obvious base of power and support for communist elements in South East Asia .

The Reagan Administration sees no reason to allow communist insurgency movements to errupt in Central America with goals and objectives that threaten United

States ' interests, while thi s country stands by uneasily and observes the activity . It is partic ularly dangerous to do so when the Soviet Union and Cuba fuel and encourage those revolutions with financial and military resource s.

Such indecision clearly signals a " green light" to ideologies and nations whose interests challeng e those of the United States.

The unpleasant spector of Vietnam can ~nd has prompted a dangerous and harmful trend that set s American foreign policy in a rigid cast of inertia . Diplomatic option s should be examined carefully and decisions should be reached with the best interests of the United States as a primary objective .

Such process does not always warrant hesitancy and caution. When America perceives its position and safety clearly threatened , it has an obligation to respond aggressivel y to that danger. El Salvador' s crisis, in the 1980s, poses such a condition . Failure to ac t forecefully to the threat is fa r more dangerous to the interests of the United States than the actions and policy that President Reagan proposes.

In opposition to intervention

BY JIM LAWLOR

Let's forget the fact that if El Salvador turns into another Viet Nam, 1'11be drafted.

Let's forget the fact , too, that I believe the leftists in El Salvador have every right in the world to be rebelling against what I believe is an unjust and oppressive oligarchy.

I' m putting all my personal interests and ideologies aside. I wish to take a logical look at the situation in El Salvador, and show how no matter what opinion or ideology is one holds, the military aid policy of the Reagan administration,is gravely erroneous.

Briefly, the situation is this: El Salvador is a small country where there is revolutionary movement at war with the government and the military in attempts to throw off what they consider an unjust and oppressive rule. There is evidence that the revolutionaries are Marxists and are receiving military aid from Cuba .

The Reagan administration feels that in order to stop the spread of communism, and the maintain stability in the region, military advise and support must be given to the El Salvador military. Some also contend that the American military presence will provide leverage for the promotion of reform within the government.

I rais ,e several objections to the credibility of this policy.

First, I fail to see how the proposed means are going to produce any of the desired ends. For in-

stance, how will military aid stop therefore cannot possibly end it. communism?

ERA could end ~iscrimination against men

BY KATHY McCARTNEY

When you see the initials ERA what are the first thoughts that enter your mind .. . Equality fo·r women? Sex discrimination?

Equal pay for egual work? The draft?

When people think of the ERA , nine out of ten probably consider it as a women ' s movement or an organization to acquire more rights for women . But too many people fail to realize that the ERA does not only apply to women, but to everyone .

The ERA's basic purpose is to ensure the protection of equal rights against sexual and racial discrimination .

Women have been and still are

being discriminated against but they are not the only ones. Believe it or not men are also discriminated against in some areas.Did you know that under the Social Security Laws it is more difficult for a widower than a widow to claim payments based on prior dependency.

According to Criminal Law female criminals obtain lighter jail sentences than male criminals . The Judicial System still operates under the Penal Code System that issues women as being more easily rehabilitated than men, therefore, women are released sooner on good behavior than men are.

In the military , spouses of male

Implications of ERA are far-reaching BYDENISE J. TERIFAY

•

The ratification of a proposed C ons titutional arpendment ( popularly called the " Equal Rights Amendment " ) would remove gender as a factor in establishing the legal rights of men and women .

The implications of this amendment are far-reaching.

The most obvious of the implications is the end of job discrimination. Equal opportunity on the job market and equal pay for equal work are almost certainly guaranteed under this amendment.

With respect to education , the Equal Rights Amendment should put an end to sex segregation of schools , colleges, facilities and institutional programs in-sch.ools at all levels that are publicly supported .

Although this would not render private , sex-discriminatory educational institytions subject to the Equal Rights Amendment, it is possible that the · witholding of government support from such institutions may lead to the sexual integration of all major educational institutions in the United States .

The Equal Rights Amendment will have an immense impact on state criminal laws and penal institutions .

The amendment is expected to prevent a state from having different policies in sentencing and parole for males and females convicted of the same crime.

As the law stands now, wonft!n frequently receive lighter sentences and are paroled much

sooner than their male counterparts.

When discussing criminal laws sexual assault should not be ignored. The statutes of some states expressly define rape as " The penetration of the vagina by the penis" while other states define the crime more broadly as " penetration of the vagina ."

Under such laws, penetration of the vagina by an instrument , or by a man 's or woman's hands either of which can be as psychologically harmful as forcible penetration by a penis, .are excluded from the definition of rape.

Also, rape is usually a firstdegree felony, punishable in some states by death, in others by life imprisonment or by ten to fifty years in the penetentiary but forcible sodomy , which includes penetration of the anus of a man by a penis , is usually a third-degree felony, punishable by two to ten years in the penitentiary . .What will the Equal Rights Amendment do in the area of family law? First, the amendment will require that states carefully re-examine the marital property laws which determine the ownership of the earnings and property of both spouses during marriage .

Second, millions of women are shouldering the economic burden of raising children from a former marriage with little or no help from their ex-husbands . This could be changed under the Equal Rights Amendment.

These are some of the implications of the Equal Rights Amendment.

air force officers obtain benefits more easily than a male dependant whose wife is an air force officer.

The male spouse has t.o prove his dependency in order for him to collect the benefits .

Some states still have laws which reouire men to pay alimony to a self-supportive famale, even though there are no children.

Also the word rape , under the law, is defined as the penetration of the vagina by the penis. In some states rape is considered a first degree felony and is punishable by death or ·a long term sentence.

Where forceful sodomy is defined as the penetration of the anus but is only conidered as a third degree felony. And is punishable with two to ten years in prison.

The ERA can be used to a man ' s advantage as well as a woman's.

Men have to realize that it doesn ' t just apply to women . The fact that ERA is popularly associated with

women is because in the past two decades they have used it to their advantage.

Through the ERA there are opportunities for men to change the definition of rape and receive fair jail sentences. Also, if the draft is passed men who have dependent children can stay at home while the men in the office positions will be moved to the front lines and women will take the office positions instead.

When asked how the ERA would benefit men the responses _automatically pertained to women as being connected with the ERA. ·Frank Morelli, a junior at Cabrini, replied "I am in favor of the equality of women. The ERA has enlightened men on their ignorance for the need of equal rights for women ." " A woman deserves equal pay for equal work . And should have the same opportunities in a job as I do," said Ted Leydon . Leydon was

a government emolovee at one time. He stated that in a governmental job there has to be an equal amount of women in male-dominated positions. "Some of the women were not qualified and were there for only one purpose of balancing the number of females in male dominated jobs . These women took advantage of their position," Leydon replied.

The major reason for these misconceptions are the lack of knowledge of what the ERA is all about. The importance that it holds is for both .. 1en and women .

Denise Terifay, a junior , response to the question asked wa s, " ERA advocates equal rights for everyone , not just for women . But since the women's groups argue for it , ERA is commonly associa ted with women. · Men fail to realize the benefits they would derive from it. And if they did I think the ERA would pass relatively so~n."

El ·Salvador, a new national debate BY jJM LAWLOR

Claims tha t El Salvador may be a Viet Nam for the '80s may or may not be true. One thing is for sure , though, as El Salvador becomes more and more a national debate, there is an increased likelihood that uninformed observers will be confused or unfairly influenced by arguments for and against the Reagan policy of military aid and advise to the Salvadorian government. An analysis of the circumstances which have brought El Salvador to the forefront of national attention will help put the yarious viewpoints in perspective .

The two main characters are the revolutionaries and the government, they make up the internal El Salvador conflict. The secondary characters- are those for and against President Reagan 's policy , the external conflict.

The Revolutionaries.

The revolutionary aspects of El Salvador come out of the standard revolutionary mold. They are people who have taken to military guerrilla tactics in an attempt to overthrow a .government which they believe to be unjust and oppressive. They feel their actions are justified because they claim that the abject poverty of their prople is the direct consequence of the economic policy of what they call the ruling oligarchy. Support for this claim comes from reports that the average Salvadorian

Kesselman hopes to ~xpand counseling services "I've only had the occasion to use the facilities once. Mrs. Kesselman was helpful, but I found the written material more useful," said Diana McSeeney, senior.

One of the many questions that arise, especially with seniors is the lack of on-campus job recruitment by companies. Kesselman addressed this by saying she agreed that there is not as much recruitment as she's like, but her position is one of career counselor. She added that recruitment is part of the program that is developing, but slowly.

"I sent out letters to companies, but their response was our schedules have been made up very far in advance, so maybe in the future," said Kesselman.

Career counseling at Cabrini seems to be experiencing some of the same problems other departments have encountered in recent years. The growth in student population and cramping of space has caused many to feel that our counseling services are not up to par with other colleges in the area.

Arlene Kesselman, career counselor, feels that the counseling services are adequate, though her thoughts run along the same lines of many others. When speaking of availability and accessibility to the campus she said, "I have had about 200 individual interviews with students since September.

Our library has had at least 200 students use it successfully. Sometimes people are not aware of its existence, while others feel it is in a remot~ location.

This and the problem of commuter isolation are foremost in her mind at this time.

Lewis to be graduation

I I I I I

~

from the president's office next week that Drew Lewis, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, will be the graduation speaker for the class of 1981. There is currently an unrest surrounding the circumstances leading to his selection.

Graduation speakers at Cabrini are normally selected by the graduation committee. The committee is composed of administration, staff, and seniors, who, after consultation with the remaining senior class, choose a speaker as well as plan the Mass and reception.

Last semester, after the committee polled the seniors, it came up with a list of possible speakers to be voted on by the class in order of preference . The graduation committee then submitted the list of 16 names to the President's office, according to a committee member.

Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, president, said that the first two names on the list, broadcaster Phil Donahue and actress Marlo Thomas, would not be considered.

Sullivan said that they were con-

troversial figures and that a past alleged controversial graduation speaker had drawn demonstrators picketing Cabrini; mailing all seniors letters of protest; and creating a fear that the group would picket during the graduation ceremony.

Sullivan said that she had no problem asking controversial figures for other events, such as Convocation, but for graduation a similar incident could ruin the "happiness of the event."

Sullivan went to the next name on the list, Dr. C. Everett Koop, who was unable to speak. This continued with several speakers on the list, until about mid-January when Sullivan mentioned to Mrs .

Fitz Eugene Dixon, chairperson of the Board of Trustees, that the class of 1981did not have a graci11ation speaker. Mrs. Dixon said that she and her husband knew Drew Lewis and they would be willing to help the senior class.

Sullivan said a committee member was contacted who said it would be put before the committee at the next meeting.

The committee met and decided

r

towards business," said Tanya Nelson, senior.

When questioning those interested in going on to graduate school or law school, the general consensus was that the counseling center had quite a bit of information.

"Arlene Kesselman has been in touch with me many times and has set up appointments with law schools for me," said Pat Daily, junior.

Kesselman hopes to utilize the new campus center by using available wall space for posters on upcoming events. Hopefully the new facilities will help alleviate the space problem that is occurring now. Though she feels the counseling center is off the beaten path, once students discover the information available to them they will make more use of it.

speaker that it would be better to continue down the list chosen by the seniors, according to a member.

This is where reports conflict.

Committee members say that on Feb. 18 Sullivan was asked to continue pursuing the list given by the seniors. Sullivan, however, said that on the contrary a committee member confirmed Lewis on the same date.

At any rate, a verbal yes was received from Lewis via the Dixons on March 4, with written confirmation expected to be forthcoming .

The unrest that concerns the selection of the graduation speaker, therefore , has little or nothing to do with who was chosen , but rather how he was chosen .

One Cabrini administrator commented that, "if the committee is choose the graduation speaker. If, choose the graduation speaker, Of, however, for some reason they do not make the selection, then they are an advisory group, but it is improper to call them a selection committee for the graduation speaker ."

Special Olympics no longer on campus

BY LISA POTTER

Cabrini College didn't hold Special Olympics this year because of problems that arose last year. Sr. Sharon Morano, dean of students, said that last year Cabrini didn't have enough control, and there were a few complications.

The main reason for not having Special Olympics this year, Morano said, was that Cabrini can't accommodate and control the approximately 250 participants. Mike Sulewski, last year's president of Special Olympics club, agreed. He said, "We just don't have the facilities."

The participants in Special Olympics last year, stayed in the classrooms of Sa-cred Heart Hall.

Each classroom was given to participants from the same general area. 100 cots were ordered from the Red Cross by Cabrini. An additional 100 were ordered for Cabrini, by the State Special

Olympics committee. Only the first 100 arrived, so matresses had to be rounded up and put in the classrooms also.

Another problem Cabrini had was \\'.ith the participants. Morano said that some participants came from "low soci~economic" backgrounds. Sulewski described them as" street-wise." He also said that they created certain incidents of "verbal abuse and some window damage." Morano said that these incidents weren't the main reason for the Special Olympics not being held this year. That it was a symptom of the fact that Cabrini isn't large enough to control the Special Olympics.

Morano; Dr. Joseph Romano, vice president of Cabrini College: Dr. Sower, chairperson of the Special Education department; and Frank Dean, state director of Special Olympics, met last summer to discuss these problems.

They decided, first, to have less

participants in future Special Olympics held here, and have no one stay over night.

Second, they established a faculty liason, Dr. A. Kennedy, to the State Special Olympics.

Third, they decided to delete the "club" status of the Special Olympics. The reason for doing this, Morano explained, was because of the SGA constitution clubs have access to an allotment of funds.

Therefore, Cabrini College, a nonprofit organization, was giving funds to Special Olympics , another non-profit organization .

Aside from all these problems, Cabri,ni is still involved in Special Olympics. Sulewski said, "We're still involved, we just don't have anything on campus." Morano said that next year they may start a training program here, with Cabrini volunteers, that would tram participants for the Special Olympics .

'So' yes,' she writes, 'I am a 'Moonie.'

Neil Tagliamonte is a student journalist at Boston's Emerson College. His friend Barbara Gannon is a "Moonie." This is his story as much as it is hers. Please read it.

BY NEIL TAGLIAMONTE December 13th, 1980BOSTON I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change But over there in Barrytown They do things very strange And though you' re not my enemy I like things like they used to be And though you'd like some company I'm standing by myself Go play with someone else I can see by what you carry That you come from Barrytown.

-Steely Dan A toast, please.

To you, Barbara Gannon, I toast with fine long lasting memories and a fine long lasting 16 oz. glass of J&B scotch-on-the-rocks . No matter how far you might be tucked away, I believe there will come a time when again I will be able to look into your eyes and sincerely ask , "How the hell are you , Gannon?" I also believe you will then be able to squat down onto the ground and ramble for hours on end about your recent experiences, and describe the last x amount of time has been your most fulfilling.

I am convinced there will be such a moment , but there has been a tremendous amount of negative talk going around the circle, as it were, about yQur sudden departure. It seems I am the only one giving you the benefit of the doubt; something I wish people were more willing to do. Not only for you, but for th\! betterment of life itself. Giving-someone the Benefit simply shows a respect and trust in a person's judgement. Respecting their behavior. . ·. believing no matter how outrageous the behavior may be, it is backed up by some valid, logical purpose which will only lead to a surprisingly better end.

It is with optimistic theory that I say to you, Gannon ... sit tight.

Ride this wild boar out until it tires and dies. I know there is a reason behind vour bizarre behavior and when it comes to you, ol' sport .. I know it must be one damn goop reason.

She would confess to the most bizarre behavior. The stealing of neighborhood home stereo systems to finance all mind bending refreshments for a massive Tripping Party . The chugging of a fifth of Jack Daniels with a dangerously criminal motorcycle gang outside Father's Five on the corner of Massachusettes Avenue and Marlboro Street. And the running of a suped-up silver a·nd black Ford Mustang out over the shining sand of a Cape Cod public beach with a car speaker screaming the Doors and a pretty head filled with bad acid . Bizarre behavior for any Massachesetts born, red haired, green eyed daughter of a middleaged Boston lawyer, who was shoveling out the raw cash for her to wail away education courses at Syracuse University.

Bizarre behavior, indeed.

I caught up with Barbara Gannon during the mellowing out period of her twenty year odyssey.

The period when she took Syracuse's College of Education by violent storm and worked those

people into such a_crazed frenzy, they had no choice but to hand· her "A's" in 95% of her classes. Yes .. . those were Gannon's productive years, .'78-80. But now, as I sit here in a hot steaming Boston bathroom, piecing this extremely sad and depressing tale together about a very close but no less distant side-kick, I feel it was during those long, cold, snowy nights at SU that Gannon's motives for this disappearance emerged.

Back over a year ago, Gannon realized her life long goals were not obtainable within the system .

She strived for educational equality, communal living, peace among the masses, and ... yes ... love amont the ruins. Gannon wanted to teach the world to live together with grace and perfection.

An honor student in Syracuse's educational program, Gannon worked as a part-time student teacher in a city elementary school and was apalled with the prejudice, repression, and other injustices practiced within America's educational process.

She wanted if all to change, but saw no hope in the narrow and restricting tunnel that ran through the heart of the system:- .. A system she knew she was successful in, but sensed would eventually lead to her failure.

Although I have not seen her for over six months; since I backed my car out a gravel driveway of a rented Cape Cod cottage last July, I have heard that Gannon is on her ultimate trip. A mysterious journey which has been mapped out by the infamous, but said to be evil Reverend Moon.

0 well. . . where will all my work, words, and tears lead? Gannon would say it truly wouldn't matter if I continued with this work or quickly bagged it all together. For fate is leading us all by the hand · and if I don't spell out this jaggered story now, it will be completed in another time. Of course, if only it was meant to be written. So why force it now? Why force anything? It will happen if the game plan calls for it. Righ't Gannon? ... "Sure Neil, only if the game plan calls for it."

In early Julyu of this year after a weekend visit with me on Cape Cod, the situation was third and very long for Gannon. When she went to the sidelines, the Coach told her a quick kick was out of the question, like returning home would be, and instead of swallowing the football, to take the damned thing and run. Run it behind a lead blocker to Barrytown New York, where the rest of the team was awaiting with broad smiles, loving hugs, glazed over eyes and a handful of freshly picked flowers.

December 2oth, 1980HARTFORD At this moment, I am home in Hartford, Ct. on Christmas vacation. A time of year I usually roll back my forehead and let my brain breath a bit. I normally spend this season with my family, a few good books (maybe re-read some Heller and/ or Thompson), write some meaningless but sometimes witty prose, and watch the NFL move closer to the reason behind their madness ... Super Bowl Sunday .

This piece started in Boston a week ago for no apparent reason.

A sudden mood struck a creative , but serious cord in my frontal

lobes. I b-ecame obsessed with the idea of documenting my miserable emotions about Barbara Gannon's invisible presence in my life.

I am sorry to report, I don't think about poor Gannon on a daily basis; just on fleeting moments when a sight, phrase, or sound appears before me and brings me back to those early days at Syracuse. This seemingly useless background feeds major importance to something grossly ironic that happened today .

Today, a very unexpected message arrived and the timing couldn't have been more "coincidental." Today, I received a letter ( postmarked 12/13/80; the very same day the idea for this story arrived) from Philadelphia. It was signed: Miss you.

All my love, Gannon The two paged letter, which included a birthday card for my recent 21st, was the first trace of correspondance anyone has received from Gannon since her disappearance in early July. Her parents spoke with her .:mce over the telephone, but aside from the immediate family, I am the first to be contacted by Gannon. She explained in the letter that she is in Washington, D.C. working with C. A. R. P. - the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles which is the student group of the Unification Church run by Reverend Moon.

"So yes," Gannon writes, ·'I am a 'Moonie.'" l '20/81 BOSTON At this point in time, who am I to judge? Or any of you for that matter? Unless we have the cold raw facts at our fingertips, which I certainly don't, how can we draw any type of conclusion about this Unification Church gig? I have been told by knowledgeable exfor one reason or another, to stay far away from the group, even for journalistic purposes. And since I am relatively happy sitting right here behind this Smith-Corona I guess this is where I plan to stay, for good or not so. Go play with someone else, indeed.

I think with her letter, Gannon is trying to plant the Moon Seed deep into my brain and the "chat" she calls for just may be the scheme to do me in. The tone of her message is not unlike a sermon. Gannon preaches brilliantly _in a perfectly written essay about the general

purposes of the Reverend Moon team. She raises all the right questions about the twisted condition of the world, but when it comes time for the answers Gannon, at the moment, refuses to elaborate. And maybe for all the right reasons.

Why score off a potential follower with the sudden shock? We' II draw him in gradually, feet first, so he isn't fully aware of what is actually happening. Once we have him under control. . . spring the deal on him and pound out the wrinkles from there.

This train of thought may seem like sheer paranoia on my part.

But as Dr. Hunter S. Thompson would say paranoia becomes very dangerous, but necessary once you take the humor out of a situation.

The humor has been drained from this affair from the start and the fear is very real at this moment.

Well .. moving on ... According to Gannon's letter the teachings of Reverend Moon is a concept called the Unification Principle . The principle is divided into three basic parts. The first part is the principle of creation, which deals with such questions as what is the ideal world, the true nature of man, and how can we understand God and our relationship with Him. Eh yes ... the Ideal World .

Food and drink for everyone. Or only for the Good, Smart, Pure , Followers, Leaders, or only the Moonies. Or are we speaking of material wealth ... A brand new Pontiac in every garage and a thousand cash for everv house.10ld. It's truly strange. So many different people want the world to be ideal in so many different ways.

The truth of the matter is we are all far past the ideal world. Who is kidding who here? The ideal world was lost long before you or I were ever around to help ruin it It is truly hard to imagine anything in the world, let alone the whole world, being ideal; perfect per say. If there was an ideal floating about this pit we call Earth, I am sure we would all be killing each other off to get hold of that precious rock, eh?

I seem to be caught on a bal>bling tangent. . . Now back to basics. The second portion of the concept deals with why we don't live in the ideal world and what the origin of suffering is.

Finally, the Unfiication Concept examines the Principle of Restoration - how has history been working to restore the ideal and. .

watch your step here folks ... what is our responsibility in restoring the ideal. Again the grouping of these issues perplexes the shit out of me. When I think of history and confused misguided responsibility, I naturally think of Richard Nixon during his strange Watergate Era .

Old Dick thought it was his responsibility to do the right thing for all of us by lying, robbing, and deceiving in order to restore his idea of the ideal. I really believe that in Nixon's warped mind he honestly believed he was doing the right thing to benefit all of America, but so did Charles Manson and John Wilks Booth. Nixon, Manson, Stalin, Hitler, and countless other crazed tyrants felt they had the key to the ideal world and only asked that we follow. I might as well add Reverend Moon to the lengthy list The Unification Church blends religion, philosophy, science, politics, and yes .. _ psychology ... together to come up with a way to change the unchangable. Namely the world we live in; a core even the '69 Mets would have trouble coming to grips with .

These questions Reverend Moon is asking, through the talking head of Gannon, are typical philosophical inquires which have been ponde red by Locke, Descartes , Spmoza and the lot. The questioning is fine, even healthy and are dealt with in any college level philosophy course. God knows I have been that dead end route before. Once we start formulating the answers to questions like these we discover many different patterns of thought. It's the answer s which separate the good from the weird and it 1s my understanding that Reverend Moon leans far toward the left when it comes lime to fill in the blanks, as it were . So far left that he has fallen off the logical edge and has caused brain damage to the others who have followed his fatal Fall.

My dear friend Gannon may Just have taken that fatal fall, but I can promise she will not be forever lost. If I never see Barbara Gannon again, she will forever be a part of my fond and sacred memories of those long , cold, snowy nights in Syracuse. But you know something people? It wouldn't surprise me if I walk out of this room right now and find Gannon sharing a ten dollar joint on the steps of 130 Beacon . I would sit. She would smile . And we would talk.

'Let each day come as it may,' she vows

•

BY TAMRA DiMARINO MS patients fight a "silent battle, " an area resident said last week. But one woman has also experienced a "silent victory ," a victor.y that she has shared with other ~S patients like herself .

Conr.ie Aigeldinger, of King of Prussia, was diagnosed with having Multiple Schlerosis in June 1969. She has been in the hospital for MS yeady since then, but each time has shown a special determination that brought her back onto her feet.

Aigeldinger, during her periods of remission ( a period in which the symptoms of a disease are few), and sometimes even while she was in the hospital, has been involved with helping other MS patients.

••Sometimes doctors ask me to talk to theii:, patients," she said . By doing this, she has offered many people hope they otherwise may not have known. " I have made so many neat

friends," she said. "These friends are the guttsiest friends I know.

When I share my story with ( other) patients, special relationships come out of this. Sometimes it's just' let's share how we feel.' '' Other times they may talk and laugh together. " Laughter is great therapy," she said .

MS, -not the same as Muscular Dystrophy, "is a disease of the brain and spinal cord, " according to Aigeldinger. It "can be explained by comparing the Central Nervous System to a switchboar which sends electrical messages through the nerves to parts of the body. Myelin, a fatty substance which insulates most healthy nerve fibers and aids the flow of messages, is broken down in MS and is replaced by scar tissues ( sclera), which distorts or blocks the flow of messages."

"The ' multiple' resulting symptoms ," she said, " might include loss of coordination , eye,

speech, or bladder problems, weakness, numbness, partial or complete paralysis of any part of the body ."

Besides helping others in the battle against MS, Aigeldinger keeps herself busy with many other activites. "I never sit still because I have a sense of trying to be result oriented," she said . "I am an independent person; it is difficult for me to be dependent."

Aigeldinger has had articles published, and is now in the process of putting together an outline for a book about MS.

-

Officially, she is called a Media Consultant for Creative Arts Recording . She sells air time and records and writes commercials .

It is " fun and really exciting, " she said. " I enjoy concepting , coming up with ideas for commercials ."

Aige ldinger also has talent with music, · and has done some public speaking on MS at th_e Medical

College of Pa. and Jefferson Hospital.

Along with her writing, she also enjoys photography . "I like to consider myself a photojournalist, " she said, although" I believe there 1 is no such thing as objective reporting. I prefer creative writing, or writing editorials. I like to have. the freedom of saying " I think, I feel.' " Where has she found the strength to do all that she does? "I pray a lot," she said. "I have a deep faith in God. Faith is vital to your soul."

Aigeldinger is married , has two married children , and is a grandmother ~ The love of her family is .

very important to her. They have been "a tremendous support," she said.

To Aigeldinger, life is precious.

"Don't think about what you don't have," she said. "Think about what you do have."

As to her plans for the future, she replied, "I'm a survivor . I' rn so lucky each day, I don't think in terms of the future . I have to"'let each day come as it does ."

Connie's successes have been many but she doesn't think of them in terms of monetary value or a high position. "If I could be successful it would be by sharing a message of hope and faith," she said.

It will take time for this change to occur. Such changes that involve the moral and ethical opinions of the population always do take time. The suffregettes who longed to have the equal chance to vote; the people who are pushing for the passing of the Equal Rights Amendment; and those who concern themselves with leg itamizing abortion are all examples of change that have and will take time to convert. It's interesting to note the above three examples concern the rights of wpmen just as the elimination of sexual language concerns women.

The elimination of sexist language will indeed take time to occur. People are asking about the elimination of sexist language not because of vengeance or to cause trouble and inconvenience , but because they desire to unify the church .

Weekend •1n New England

•

BY BERNADETTE LYNCH Did you ever feel that you just wanted to get away from it all?

Well, that's exactly how I felt right before Presidents Holiday so I took off with two traveling companions to the foothills of New England .

Our weekend started out with a fierce snow storm forcing us to travel through picturesque New Jersey at 35 mph, but by the time we reached Connecticut the roads were clear .

After stopping five times in seven hours for various reasons we hit Boston with an exhausted tumble from the car .

Me rrimack College wa s our destination where we partied with Irish , Philly ( our host), Jimbo and Paul.

Friday was touring day and we

" Stopped by for a Spell" in Salem, Mass. Just like typical tourists we took in the sites and posed for pictures. One of my fellow cohorts was all a fluster thinking of how excited Artie Young would be when she told him she took the tour through the House of Seven Gables.

Although we couldn't see any witches flying about , we did manage to pass for teenagers in most of the tourist traps we came upon .

This is easy to understnad considering one of the women looked like she was a left -over from the Salem witch trials .

Fine dining cuisine was elf" perienced at the Loft-fine steak and cheesecake at reeasonable prices.

With the hour s counting down, Boston was the next place to hit.

Harvard, Boston College and Clarkes Pub all made us feel warm and content on that damp rainy day . In the Irish section of town we found 65 Irish pubs in a two-mile area . Heaven, sheer heaven .

Although time was running out we even managed to stop by and see the Kennedys. Rose and Ted were surprised to see us , but welcomed us with open arms .

Afte r spend ing a long evening a t the campus pub, we managed to r ise bright and early for our iong j ourney home. But before I conclude this traveling escapade le t me tell you it wouldn ' t have been c omplete without feeding the goldfish to the pirahna or sendin g postcards to friends and family .

Cabrini Womanhood

BY THERESA COLLINS Dr. Kathleen Gavigan, Professor of History, and Dr. Kathleen Daley, Assistant Professor of Social Science , were the initiators of the Women's Studies Concentration program at Cabrini on March 21, 1975.

Their rationale behind the initiation of this program was to give the predominantly female population the opportunity for and recognition of in-depth study of the area of Women's Studies .

The first course in Women's Studies offered by the Social Science department produced an .overwhelming response and demand for further courses in this area . Between 1975-1981 a significant number of students have enrolled in courses pertaining to women and add itional courses were added to this program .

The women's Studies Concentration was designed to meet several needs. · First it provides a wellfocused interdisciplinary concentration in Women ' s Studies .

Second, it is offered as a minor concentration to all students of any major. Third , it provides a useful background for students planning careers in teaching, sociology , law , or communications and also for women continuing their education.

As stated in Cabrin i's catalog " students typically appl y to the Women ' s Studies committee for admission during their second semester of their sophomore year .

A cumulative average of 2.5 is required and students work with faculty advisors in planning course sequence, readings , and independent studies. " According to Dr. Gavigan, students who enroll in the program take approximately nine credits and only two students, Steva Bearinger and Martha Heid both of the class of 1976, have completed all 18 credits .

After completing their independent study, "Student Leadership at Cabrini: Male or Female?" under the direction of Dr. Daley , Bearinger and Heid presented their results at the first annual Women's Studies Symposium in 1975. They reported on the increase of male leadership in Stu. dent Government and various clubs . They found their results unusuaf since Cabrini is a predominantly female school. Dr. Gavigan and Dr . Dale y found the symposiui:n to be a very " interesting experience."

Both Gavigan and Daley teamtaught the independent studies and are presently teaching Women in History and the Sociolog y cf Sex Roles respectively. Also involved in teaching Women Studies are Dr. Margaret Reher, Professor of Religion, Women in Religion and Society, Dr . Marilyn Johnson, Professor of English and Communications, Women in Literature, and Dr. Sharon Schwarze, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Feminism : Revolution or Reform.

'Her enthusiasm and interest -will be missed'

BY OLIVIA PETTENGILL

..-

Friendly ,- enthusiastic , helpful, kind, generous, patient, and cheerful are all words that have been used to describe the Assistant to the Dean of Students, Madonna '\farion-Landais. Much to the dismay of many here at Cabrini who have come to know and love her, Madonna, who has been with Cabrini since April of 1979, will soon be leaving us.

Madonna's husband, Hugo Marion-Landais, is employed by Saga Food Service. He has been transferred as the Senior Food Service Director for AT&T, in Lower Manhattan, New York.

Madonna, who will be leaving Cabrini on March 27, will reside with her husband in Brooklyn, New York . . To many students on this c-ampus, Madonna has become much more than a Student Service staff member. She has been a source of friendship, guidance, enthusiasm, patience, an'd encouragement.

"She is a great help to all the faculty and students ," said Maria Cedrone, junior, " and I'm sure that she will be missed." One student, who wished not to be named,

said , "She was a vital asset to the Dean of Students' office. She was well liked, she cared about the students, and knew many of them well. She will be greatly missed , I'm sure ." Another student added, "Madonna has contributed so much of herself to the campus and her influence has been felt in many places. She will be missed by everyone . I'm sorry to see her leave."

"She will be greatly missed in the office," said Sr . Sharon Morano , Dean of Students , "There's no doubt about that. I feel she is a great asset , and she is very capable administratively .

She has taken a lot of initiative , and her capabilities in administration were shown in her direction of this year's orientation program."

Sr. Sharon added that Madonna has an excellent rapport with the students, and the students have responded well to that. "Her two strongest assets," said Sr. Sharon, "are her interest - and her enthusiasm. Those, coupled with her personal administrative capabilities, have contributed a great deal towards the develop- · ment of student services. I wish her every success and happiness in

the development of her career."

Sr. Sharon stated that interviews will soon be underway to find a replacement for Madonna.

She will be looking for someone with capabilities similar to those of Madonna's, with an emphasis towards student activities.

"When I will think of Cabrini," said Madonna, "I will think of the students. Especially those with whom I've had the chance to work closely, and even those I've only known casually, but on a first name basis. And those, too, who I don't know, but their faces are familiar.

"In my work in the Dean of Students' office," said Madonna , "I've come into contact with staff members of many of the other offices on campus. For the most part, a cooperative work effort was established, considering the diversity of staff personalities and departmental responsibilities.''

Throughout her term of work here, Madonna has seen the need for many things on campus, some

of which still haven't been realized. "The new campus center will satisfy a majority of immediate needs, especially those in the student services area," said Madonna.

Working in the student services, Madonna has seen manv changes.

Since her arrival here, she has witnessed tremendous growth in the staff development, programming, and resident facilities. Madonna stated that Campus Ministry has also experienced growth which can be witnessed through the student retreat programs, liturgies, and social action programs. "With increased enrollment, and especially the resident population," said Madonna, "increases in staff are necessitated, especially in the areas of counseling and health services."

Madonna feels good about her contributions to the campus since she has been here, one of which was this year's orientation pr<r gram. "With the cooperation of twenty team leaders, and other

personnel, I was able to coordinate and organize a new student orientation program, which seemed to be generally favorable. And it satisfied adjustment needs exper ie nc ed by freshmen and transfer students during the first week of school."

Madonna's position here at Cabrini is currently in the process of being restructured to include · added responsibilities of coordination of student activities and campus facilities. Madonna stated that this couldn't be accomplished while she was here because of a limited budget and an understaffed office .

"My leaving is both a happy and a sad occasion; happy because I'm beginning a new life in a very challenging city, and sad because of having to leave some very close friends and an atmosphere that has become a second home to me. I thank all of those here at Cabrini who have been a source of friendship, Jove and encouragement to

Captivating. Enchanting. These describe Cabrini College Theater production of "Pinocchio ." It is a stimulating but lighthearted fable of good vs. bad .

Mary Alice Fitzpatrick gave a fine and captivating performance as Pinocchio. Her experience as singer, dancer and actress came through in this play, enabling her to play a wooden boy realistically.

Jeanne Proko, as Jiminy Cricket, added sparkle to the show . Her singing , dancing, spirit and persuasive voice added life and spontaneity to the show. She gave the show the lightheartedness it achieved and the reassurance that good will always over came evil.

The parts of the evil Cat and Fox, played by Mary Jo Longo and Jane Harrington , respectively, were played very well. The wellpracticed lines, said in unison , added to the sinister portrayals of each of these characters .

Principal dancers Jeanne Turpie and Lisa Cimino were a silent bu t intricate part of the show.

The y were a pleasure to watch , and their costumes gave added charm and dimension to the play .

The pla y, with the added talents of Michael Massari ( Gepetto ), J oyce P atitucci <Candlewick ), Owen James (Stromboli) , Sancfra McNamara (The Blue Fairy ) and others was very entertaining . It was a delightful show for young children , not to mention an enjoyable one for adults .

This year marked '"Pin occh io's" 100th birthday , and each per formance is dedicated to his creator , Carlo Collodi.

Spring Fling highlights weekend cele~ration

BY JEANNE PROKO

•

What are you planning to do this weekend? If you have something going on elsewhere, cancel it. If nothing is on your calendar for the weekend, then has the S.G.A. got news for you! The annual Celebration of Spring weekend is in the making .

Plans began early in February for this event. Dane Linn, chairperson for this weekend, seems really pleased after discussing some details of the days. "No one will be able to say that there wasn't something to do lit Cabrini this weekend."

Linn is especially excited about the "Spring Fling " scheduled for tonight. A band , that Linn saw at the Grey Fox, Sweet Life, will be playing live at the dance . Admission is $3.

Brian Jensen, freshman class president, is in charge of tomorrow's events. Many games, such as basketball, balloon tosses , sack races, are being planned .

Jensen believes that this weekend has been really successful before. "Everyone stays up for that weekend."

Lots of people love to gamble, right? The Junior class certainly thinks so. "Casino Night" followed by a dance are the plans for Saturday night.

Sunday's events promise to be really entertaining . A " Road Rally" is being scheduled . Cash prizes will be given to those contestants who beat an "ideal time , mileage and correctly answer questions given to them ," says Jensen .

The r9ad rally, which has become legendary at Cabrini, is a journey that will take its participants on a trip that will not be soon forgotten.

That evening a Southern dinner is tentatively being scheduled to be held behind the Mansion.

To sum up a truly Cabrini-filled weekend, "An Evening at Cabrini" will be traditionally held .

Last year's Evening at Cabrini highlighted the entire weekend .

The sixth annual Celebration of Spring weekend is guaranteed to be successful.

Frank Morelli, in talking of last year's events, said, "The- whole campus community participated to make Celebration of Spring a success even though the weather forced us to cancel many activities ."

So, gather up your Cabrini spirif and join in with the rest of the Cabrini community in the fun.

Let's hope this year's celebration is as successful as the year before.

Tepid , acting spoils film

BY DIANA McSWEENEY

" Beauty has its price," the heroine of Roman Polanski's latest film is cautioned early in the picture . The warning proves ' prophetic and a substantial payme nt will be extracted from " Te ss" before her story is over.

The Claude Berri production , based on the Thomas Hardy novel " Tess of the d'Ubervilles ," is a sumptuous visual delight. Unfortunately , rfowever, while it does satisfy this one sense it leaves the others decidedly undernourished .

Indeed, the whole of the film is quite neatly summed up in its promotional ads. Tess was "a poor man 's daughter , an aristocrat 's mis tress and a gentleman ' s wife. " Victimized by each of the men in her life , each time Tess suffers it is a direct result of her physical beauty. Her father exploits her attractiveness in order to procure a new farm horse. The cousin she is sent to seek aid from turns out not to be her cousin at all but merely a wealthy man of dubious lineage who has, at considerable expense, purchased the title of a branch of the once venerable d' Uberville family. He in turn exploits her situation , youth and inexperience. " He took advantage of me, relying

on his strength and my fear ," Tess later relates .

Finally, and perhap s· most brutally , Tess is abandoned by her husband , who, having fallen in love with the image, is unable to live with the realit y. Amidst all this suffering and heartache you would think , or rather you would expect , to be entirel y swept ·up in the t!"agic pathos of the story . The contradiction of " Tess " is that you are instead left feeling almost am bivalent about these characters .

A stor y such as this need s all the fire it can get because Hardy is simply not a dynamic writer. Two of the main characters , however , do not communicate, or generate , an y electricity . l\"astassia Kinski , a s Tess , while breathtakingl y beautiful , only manages to conve y in her facial expressions what is desperately needed in h e r dialogue , feeling . Her lines seem almost recited. And while through much of the film she tries to maintain some sort of British accent her lapses into unknown dialect s ( Kinski is not British) proves distracting .

Peter Firth as Angel Clare , Tess' husband and one true love , has trouble with a character whom it is almost impossible to feel sym-

Oscars: Merit or box off ice draw

BY KATHLEEN BRUST

Every year actors, actresses, directors and writers thank the " Academy" for their Oscar Awards and every year I sit and watch and am usually disappointed at the choice .

It always seems that what I consider to be the best movie, actress, actor or song ends up in the pile labeled "was nominated ."

The Academy Awards are all a matter of opinion and taste, but

sometimes it seems as if they are based on a distinct lack of taste . It also seems that sometimes the Oscars are awarded on the basis of popularity and box office draw.

There seems to be a lack of artistic merit in some of the choices for the Oscars.

The movies that have been nominated this year are "Tess ," "The Elephant Man, " "Ordinary People," "Raging Bull" and "Coal Miner ' s Daughter ." All of these

soap opera is really complete without the hospital and its cafeteria.

Nearly every crisis in the story unfolds in the hospital cafeteria.

Mary Goldner, senior, is an avid viewer of " General Hospital. " Goldner says that she watches it for the entertainment, relaxation and to get a good laugh . " It ' s so bizarre ," Goldner said, "for example, a woman escapes from a mental hospital , kills another woman and gets back to the hospital without anyone knowing ."

Goldner also says that the time factor in soap operas is very strange. "One night can last a whole week, " said Goldner.

Rosemary Lynch , a junior , sa ys that she is hooked on " All My Children ." The thing that hooked Lynch was the character Erica Kane . " She really hooked me, " Lynch said . "I wish that I had her nerve to do the things she does and to say the things that she says to people ."

Lynch agrees with Diana Mcsweeney, senior, on how they got hooked on watching soap operas . Mcsweeney said, " I never watched until I was a sophomore at Cabrini. My roommate had them on all the time. " Lynch said that she never watched soap operas until she had free time between her classes here.

Goldner differs from both Lynch and Mcsweeney, her mother hooked her on "General Hospital " when she was very young. " I think I was about six years old ."

Goldner quips.

Soap operas are addicting , but they are also fun. So, relax , you too can enjoy the lives of Heather and Jeff, or Chuck and Donna,or Joe and Ruth, or .. . Well you get the picture .

Have you been seeing a lot of green lately? Have your ears been ringing with such tunes as "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," "Harrigan, " " McNamara's Band," and other such songs?

Have no fear-you ' re not going crazy .

"What is all this green?" you may ask. Why , the Irish Minstrel Show, of course!

The Irish Minstrel Show, scheduled to take place last Wednesday, Mar. 18, has been a tradition at Cabrini since 1964.

Sponsored by the Chemistry Department, the Irish Minstrel Show allows members of the Cabrini community to let their true Irish spirit show.

Many traditional Irish songs are performed, including some familiar tunes with new words written by the students . These songs make friendly cuts on some of the teachers.

Every year, the minstrel show provides entertainment and fun for students . The students involved in the show really seem to love it.

"It's good because you get to meet a lot of new people, like freshmen you never knew before," Mary Lynch, sophomore, said.

"It's a good way to relieve tension.

It's a good way to get on stage and be a hot dog.

(Photo by David Milburn) "The weirdest thing," Mary added, "is seeing a teacher like Dr. Feighan, who you usually see in class, because he's so formal in class and here he's just like a different person."

Freshman Kyle Caufield enjoyed it. "It's wonderful," she said. "From what I've heard, I think it will be better than last year. It seems more organized.

Practice is good. We're very cooperative ."

Maureen Carroll also enjoys doing the show. She likes the way students sing typical Irish songs , changing the words to tease faculty and administration .

Besides the performance at Cabrini, the minstrels also entertain children at St. Mary's Province in Elverson.

The show is run by Dr . Joseph Feighan and Miss Josephine Rondini, both of the chemistry department.

Lady Cavaliers finish season of transition

•

BY DEBBIE JABLONSKI Tne Lady Cavaliers ended their season on a winning note against Swarthmore College. The team's record for the 80-81 season is 8-10.

The Lady Cavaliers also said farewell to two graduating seniors, Maurene Burns and Eileen Slattery.

This was no ordinary game, the women looked enthused and a dominant attitude about the game could be felt. As fans and team entered, a carnival atmosphere was evident.

The bench support of the Swarthmore team was tremendous. This helped when the team fell behind or when defensive and offensive plays failed for Swarthmore.

During the opening of the game, Marianne O'Connor pulled the Lady Cavaliers through the game with every shot she took being on target. This helped especially when Kate Connolly had a hard first half.

When things started getting tough, the Cabrini bench added support on and off the court Sue Masino did an excellent job coming off the bench. Her scoring inspired the team when the situation got tough.

In the second half, Kate Connolly' s game improved. It was as if someone had wakened a sleeping giant. Becoming more determined and aggressive helped Connolly in tough scoring positions.

However, senior Eileen Slattery didn't need anyone to wake her up.

She played an aggressive first and second half. The entire game was played as if Slattery were a bolt of lightning.

The entire team played a determined and feisty game. Other than the game against Textile, this was a game where unity and fellowship could be felt a!Ilong the players.

Defensive and offensive strategies seemed to be carried out by the players relatively well.

The final score in the CabriniSwarthmore game was 63-41. Higfi scorers for the Lady Cavaliers were Marianne O'Connor with 17 points and Eileen Slattery with 15.

Looking back over the season, the women found themselves with a new coach who had a new coaching philosophy. This philosophy had longer practice sessions than in previous years.

"This year is a lot different than my previous three years," said Maurene Burns, senior. "Prac-

tices were harder and more serious. But all work and no play make for a dull team."

It seems that with a new philos1> phy, it takes time for players to adjust. Since practices were lighter last year, the adjustment had to come in conditioning not only of the body of a player but also in the attitude of a player.

"This year we had to do a lot more thinking while playing," said Franny Congileo, sophomore.

"There was a noticeable transition this year," said Terri Leinenback; sophomore. "Our practices and game schedule were a great deal more challenging. If you are going to put time into a sport, it should be taken seriously."

"We work harder and there was much more structure but everyone still had a good time," Leinenbach added.

With a more detailed program, how will the coaches build a better team without putting a strain on the existing players?

"We will teach more fundamentals, look for three additional players every year and look for some existing player to be a leader on an off the court," said coach Mik Tenaglia

Baseball; ✓ is it for the fans?

•

BY nMLAWLOR Ruly Carpenter is a baseball fan.

As a fan he did what anyone who loves baseball would do, he got the hell out of it.

Carpenter's decision to sell the Phillies says something about the state of professional baseball.

Somehow a combination of huge player salaries, and bizzare pr1> motions has changed a sport of sweaty jocks in baggy uniforms to a consumorist circus of mangy mascots in feathered costumes.

It is the real baseball fan who gets hurt. This season it will cost four dollars just to get in the parking lot! Many of the true fans have had it, they're staying home. , The biggest baseball fan I know is my father. In 1950 he waited in line at a Philadelphia Post Office at 11:30 p. m. waiting to get his application for pennant tickets postmarked before a midnight deadline. He stopped going to the ballpark two years ago.

I remember it like it was yesterday. He returned from a day game, and vowed never to go back. He said that everybody there seemed to watching the Phanatic, chasing venders, and buying helmets and dolls. He added that he had spent five dollars on one hot dog and two beers.

He has kept the vow, too. He sold his season tickets, content to sit in the living room with his own hot dogs and his own Pabst Blue Ril>bon, and watch the games without distractions.

When the strike was announced, and when Carpenter put the Phils up for sale, Dad told me the circumstances under which he'd break his vow.

"Take Bowa, Schmidt, Luzinski, that damn Phanatic and th~ rest and get rid of them," he said, "Give me Oklahoma City Phil's farm team) and I'll pay four bucks to see them."

Two years ago my, father's vow_

amused me, now it doesn't.

I recall a game I attended. There were 30,000 people there. In the third inning a "fan" boastfully but wrongly explained the strategy behind an intentional walk to his date. In the sixth I couldn't see a double play because the Phanatic was obstructing my view with an obscene gesture from atop the dugout. In the eighth inning a fan in front of me returned from her umpteenth visit to the novelty shop and asked what was the score, and who was the opponent.

I recall another game I saw, Villanova versus Textile. There were about seventy-five people there. The third base coach growled a lot and spit tobacco, the manager chewed a player out in full view, the heckling from the dugouts was loud and uncensored.

I liked that game, my father would have liked it, and Ruly Carpenter would have liked it too.

BY MARY COLLINS Did you ever feel that you're not the All American Jock? Well Cabrini has set up the programs for you. It's called Intramurals.

There is soccer and volleyball for men and women. You don't have ro show tremendous amount of athletic ability, just some interest in having fun.

Chris Collins, director of the intramurals programs feels, "The turn outs of both soccer and volleyball are going well. The people who came out for the programs really enjoy them and they seem to have a great time playing."

The programs were set up to give everyone a chance to get involved in something besides school work, according to Collins.

"The programs are run pretty smoothly and pretty much on schedule except some of thr soccer games had to be canceled due to basketball games and practices," replied Collins.

Each team has put forth a tremendous amount of effort and the teams work hard to make their team number one. But only one team can be number one. Sulomon Allyn's team one has pulled up into first place in volleyball and Fred Toroni's team is in first place in soccer.

The way the programs are set up Collins said, "The top two teams in each program will have a playoff on April 8, 1981.

"The playoffs will have the same rules to follow with the exception of time. There will be more time added to each game," Collins said.

When asking Collins about how he felt about the teams being c1>ed

he responded, "There really isn't any problem at all. It does get a little rough but some of the women kick as hard as the men do."

When you walk into the gym about 9:00 on ~uesday, Wednesday, or Thursday you can ·usually find a room full of people. They are either screaming! who do we play, when do we play, or Oh, I don't want to play them.

The atmosphere is the same every game. People are either sitting on the stage or sitting on the bleachers. They sit there cheering their favorite teams on and booing the first place teams. No matter what they are there doing, the main thing is that they are all looking for a good time.

As I was sitting there in the gym watching the games, I received many responses from the people there.

Chris Petuzzo feels, "You can have a lot of fun pecause everyone is there to have a good time. It gives you a chance to have fun with your friends and to do something else beside studying."

Regina Feighan said, "It gives me a chance to take part in sports.

I'm not VPrV athletic but as each week goes by I see myself getting better week by week."

Theresa Collins believes, "It was a good idea to set up the programs but sometimes it isn't fair when the guys on the teams have to play every position. It seems that a majority of guys are out to kill the other team instead of playing for fun, which the program was set up for."

Tom DeMattis also feels, "That everyone should play for fun and not to go out for blood."

Congratulations Keystone Champs!

Cavs .capture conference and tourney title

BY JIM LAWLOR AND JOE KRAVITZ Hard work, team unity, and comraderie are the ideals which men's basketball coach John Dzik preached, ran, and drilled into his players from day one. Those same ideals are the ones which brought his team the Keystone Athletic Conference <:;hampionship on March 6 and 7 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The team pulled into the capitol at noon the sixth, with just eight hours to rest before the game · against Beaver College to decide which of the teams were in the final. Coach Dzik was not thinking about rest, however, as he called a practice for 1 :30.

The team reported to the Penn State Capitol gym, where Dzik and assistar,ts Joe Kelly and Mike Keely held shooting practice and reviewed some plays which had just been added to the playbook for the tourney.

After that it was back to the hotel as a team, to an early dinner as a team, and at 8 p.m. on the court against Beaver, as a team.

The first half of the game was more-or-less even, with a slight

edge going to Cabrini.

The Cavaliers went into halftime with a five point lead, 35 to 30.

In the second half Beaver fought back. It was a nail-biter to the last second.

Beaver gradually worked on the Cabrini lead. Then, at the thirteen minute mark, a Lornell Morris steal and basket put Beaver in the lead for the first time, 46 to 45.

From that moment on it was a see-saw battle all the way with neither team gaining more than a three point lead. . Twice during this time the Cabrini bench, cheerleaders, and fans may have saved the game.

Two times Beaver's Greg Zankmann was on the free-throw Tine with an opportunity to put his team ahead by four points. Both times however, there was so much noise coming from the Cabrini contingent, that Zankmann was visibly rattled. He missed on both op, portunities.

With about two minutes remaining, freshman Vince Mirabella drove from the four corner offense to draw the one-and-one. The pressure seemed to have no effect on Mirabella as he sank both free

throws to give the Cavaliers a 57-56 lead.

Beaver was quick to answer, however , when a Len Parker twelve footer gave his squad the 58-57 edge.

The Cavaliers worked the ball in the four corner offense as the final minute ticked away. Then, with fourteen seconds remaining, Mike Bennett scored with a driving layup to flip the lead back to Cabrini.

Then came Beaver's biggest mistake . They waited until only four seconds remained to eall a time out.

When the players took the court again, Dzik immediately yelled for another time out. He put Jim Lawlor into the game to harrass the in- . bounder, and put the other players in a man-to-man.

Beaver set up a play designed to post Morris up on John Keating to take the final shot. Morris did receive ijle ball, but an extra defensive effort on the part of Robert Davis knocked the ball off Morris' leg and out of bounds.

Mirabella inbounded the ball, and it was over, Cabrini winning 59-58.

Dzik commented on his defensive switch when Beaver was in-

Four players receive honors Mike Bennett was named the Most Valuable Player of the Conference Championship Tournament, and was selected to the All-Conference team. He had 19 rebounds and 32 points in the two games, shooting 72 percent from the field. In the first game of the tournament, this junior cocaptain drove past two Beaver defenders with just seconds remaining for a layup. This proved to be the winning basket which carried the Cavaliers to the championship game against Alvernia.

bounding with four seconds remaining . " I originally called for a shut out, but my assistants realized that it could have been beaten by a pick, so we went to the man-to-man," he said . "Luckily the ball bounced the right way and we were able to win."

The game gave the Cavaliers a ticket to the championship game at 3 p.m. the next day against Alvernia. Dzik rewarded the team with a midnight curfew and a 10 a. m.

Saturday practice.

And so, the next morning team found themselves practicing once again. They were learning a new defense, designed by the coaches to stop Alvernia scoring leaders Brian Bossler and Steve Wesley.

An eternity could have passed for the players from the time that practice ended and the3:00 tip off.

But3:00 did come and the championship game began.

The first half was a close one, the lead changed four times. A two minute explosion, however, at the end of the half, capped by a Bennett tip-in at the buzzer, gave Cabrini a seven point halftime lead.

That explosion served as an omen for things to come and the players knew it. While twelve Cavaliers were jumping, hugging, and running to their locker room, the Alvernia Crusaders slumped slowly off the court with heads hung low and faces marked by lack of composure.

One Cavalier said of the excite. ment at half time," I feel like a sixyear old on Christmas Eve." The second half was all Cabrini.

Ray Young scored 15 of his 25 points in that half. Lt was his tip-in

KEYSTONE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

Robert Davis was named to the Keystone All-Conference team . Over the course of the year this freshman scored 407 points for the Cavaliers, leading the team with an 18.5 average. Davis was a top contender throughout the year for highest fieldgoal percentage. He reached number one when his percentage reached 64. Final division statistics have not yet been received, but it is safe to assume that Davis' 59percent will be in the top five.

John Keating's performance in Harrisburg, highlighted by 31 points and 11 rebounds, placed him on tlm Keystone Championship All Tournament team. Keating, a co-captain, put together a string of six consecutive field goals in the Championship game against Alvernia. Pedictions are that Keating will be among the division leaders in foul shooting, finishing the year with an .803 percentage . He finished in the top ten during the regular season for both game average and free throw percentage in conference games.

Then the buzzer sounded .

The dream became a reality .

The Cavaliers were champions .

The jubilant victors were sulr dued for the presentation of an awards after ten minutes of hugs, handshakes, high-fives, and tears.

The trophy ceremony saw Ray Young, Mike Bennett, and Robert Davis named to the All-Conference Team. Young was also named to the All-Tournament Team, along with John Keating.

Then the Most Valuable Player was ;mnounced. Mike Bennett was carried on the shoulders of his teammates to receive his trophy.

When the team trophy was awarded, the teams only senior, Keith Hickmjln, received the same treatment in accepting for the team.

After that the team took to the traditional cutting down of the victory net. Each team member took a cut, and when it was down it was draped over the head of MVP Bennett.

And then the Cavaliers went on, always as a team, to savor the moment, to celebrate the victory, and to save in their hearts forever that sweet moment on March 7, 1981 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when all the sweat of a long season turned to champaigne, all the curses turned to praise, and an October dream turned into a March reality.
