Business maior vs. Iibera I arts This is the first in a series of articles on liberal arts education

Girard in regard to philosophy majors . She said, "The discipline of philosophy teaches the basic skills needed for any job . It teaches students how to be analytical and critical, which is vital to employers."

BY GINNY GRUERIO

The curdculum in colleges today is leaning towards practical ethics, Schwarze believes, as in the course, The Art of Thinking, which is offered here at Cabrini.

A modern industrialized society demands a large population of business-oriented citizens . Therefore, it should follow that wise students preparing themselves for the job market pursue business majors. Ur. Jolyor. Girard, associate professor of history at Cabrini, questions this premise . He states, "No one has shown me clearly yet that para-professional majors such as business administration assume management positions. ' ' Girard contends the major function of management is to make clear, decisive decisions and interpret data. Business majors are not better prepared for these skills than liberal arts majors. Dr. Sharon Schwarze, associate professor of philosophy, upholds the same theory as

Frank Morelli, a senior, chose Philosophy/ Psychology as a double major. "Philosophy is an excellent complement to psychology," he says. "Ive always been interested in critical thinking and ethics." Although he worked with computers in his sophomore year, when he learned basic computer language in a part-time job, his ultimate goal is to be a psychologist and have a clinical practice. Thinking of taking radio broadcasting as an elective, he adds, "It's another skill in my pocket; I could be a deejay some day." He

enjoyed being a computer operator, but vetoed it as a profession. Both admission counselors Judith Brogden and LoFi Wright do not advise taking business majors if the student clearly prefers liberal arts. Brogden says, "Liberal arts gives you more flexibility ,even though the job may not be high paying at the entry level." "Look at me, "she laughs, "I was an art history major myself ."

"As students develop intellectual skills, they become very adapt able to the job market." Brogden and Wright believe computer science is a good minor for any field chosen. Wright believes this is like doubling your tuiton benefits and taking full advantage . ''If they like to write,

I encourage them to take communictions and draw upon what's profitable." Having always done well in English, sophomore Mary Sasso decided her future would be as an English teacher. As an English major, Sasso agrees that the availability of jobs in this profession is low at this time . However, she maintains that, because people now avoid the teaching profession, by the time she graduates the demand for those jobs will be revitalized. Believing people go into business for monetary considerations, she thinks, "people go into teaching because they really want to do it, otherwise they would choose something more lucrative." Recently a career seminar at Cabrini featued alumni from 1969-81, all of whom had jobs alien to their majors . Dr. Marilyn Johnson , professor of English and comm unic a lions, relates they

claimed that employers did not necessarily seek people in business majors because they believe their education can be too narrow. "What they wanted were people who could absorb, assimilate , and digest knowledge, " she says . Johnson also stressed the value of literature because it increases language ability and enlarges the mind . She asserts there is no basic difference between communications and business . "As a student develops intellectual skills they become ver y adaptable to the job market. This fact points out the importance of the general education courses which help broaden their intellec tual horizons and make them capable of learning many jobs ." Dr . Joseph Romano , vice pres ident of academic affairs , sum marizes : "The underlying facto r in the student's choice of a ma jor should be the student's talent and interests . No student should select a major simply because they feel jobs are availab le in that field.

All members of the campus community are invited to share in this exciting history-making event when the Cabrini College radio station will begin its first broadcast from its new studio at the Communications Center in the George D. Widener Campus Center. Jerome R. Zurek, Jr., chairperson of the English Department, said that the station will operate 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Live broadcasting is tentatively scheduled for 6-10 p.m. daily and an FM station to be selected for rebroadcast will provide the continuous coverage. The students in the new radio broadcasting course will staff the station. This low-power carriercurrent station will send its signal to transmitters at six campus locations via telephone lines.

Frank Hogan, an engineer at radio station WFIL and teacher of the broadcasting course, said he is excited with the course, the students and the station. He said, "The first weeks of broadcasting are going to be rough at times but I hope the campus joins us in the pioneering and developing stages of radio broadcasting at Cabrini. It should be full of surprises.' 'Since class began on Jan.

20, the students have been learning the basics of program building, ratings, licensing, formats, broadcast law, writing news and commercials, keeping logs and sales. Positions such as station manager, advertising manager and producer are also being explored. By the first day of operations, positions will be assigned and formats determined. ¡ The Cabrini station will use the same equipment used in the field and students will be able to enter

broadcasting careers with full knowledge of operating . procedures and techniques. The course requirement is the production of a five-minute sample of air work including a newscast commercial and weather report: produced in the studio. This is not necessarily for broadcast. Jim Lawlor, '82, is in the broadcasting class and is eager to make the theory a reality. He is interested in the on-air aspect. An English and communications

News , campus activities , public affairs, sports and interviews are plann~d. Equipment will permit out-of-studio broadcasts such as basketball games direct from the gym . Mrs.Adeline M. Bethany , chairperson of the fine arts department, said, "The Cabrini ra dio station will add another dimension to all events on cam pus." She said it will help publicize programs but in addition , her department will be able to help with live music for seasonal and special broadcasts .

Editorial: Keep faith in Liberal Arts

What do you think ...

In these days of tight job markets and business world dominance it is easy for students in a liberal arts college such as ours to feel a bit disillusioned. Well forget it. Despite many claims to the contrary, a liberal arts background is still and always will be a key factor in business success as well as success in life in general. There are several reasons for this. First, a liberal arts education introduces a broad spectrum of ideas to the student, creating an ability to be critical, analytical, and discerning. Transpose this against a strict business curriculum. Students there are given a tunnelvision of diciplines which are to be used within the confines of the business community. While s·uch training may help the student be operational and functional at certain levels of the corporate structure, it leaves no room to transcend the framework of business thought. The liberal arts student on the other hand could easily learn to function on corporate terms, but also has the ability to see above that frame of reference. It is this ability which leads to changes and innovations, and these lead to advancement and success. Perhaps that is why eight of the top ten corporate presidents in the United States today were History majors. Another reason to keep faith in liberal arts is interpersonal communications. With all the people who are learning to talk to computers

of how the graduation committee was s·elected?

and manage personnel like cattle, there is a great need for people who can communicate, • talk, and relate with people. It is the liberal . arts training which provides such ability. Still another reason is the adaptability of the liberal arts major. A strict career oriented curriculum gives the student a set of tools to apply to a set of circumstances. When different circumstances arise, or when existing ones change, the tools are worthless. Liberal arts majors, on the other hand, are not equipped with strategies nor tools. Rather, they are given the power of analytic thought to handle each new situation creatively as it arises. In short, the resourses of the liberal arts major are never depleted. Finally, there is solace in the fact that we are more than working animals. A liberal arts education prepared the whole person, not only the nine-to-five person. We work, but we also play, love, hate, hurt, get hurt, etc. As liberal arts majors we are prepared to deal with each of these. So take faith . This college offers programs which would shock the liberal arts purist, but at the same time maintains a very strong , liberal arts core . It is the tradition of this college to believe that such a combination works. It is a combination in which we also believe, and one which any student who takes his education here seriously should believe in too.

What Do You Think? Reporter Maureen Carroll and photographer Elizabet11 Kanaras asked students : What do you think of how the graduation committee was selected? Theresa Collins, senior: The senior class officers selected peo• pie. I feel that the committee should have been opened to anyone interested . There was a lack of communication; there were no meetings and the meetings for baccalaureate were cancelled. The committee was not representative .

Mike Spinelli, senior: It was not very democratic. The senior student body should have had more say about who speaks. The committee was a little biased .

Kevin Kelly, senior: The committee had to be chosen quick• ly. It was done randomly and in haste .

Chris Collins, senior: I know a lot of seniors were upset because they had no say . The feedback was not too great .

Editorial: Support the March The march on Washington in protest of the proposed cuts in funding for financial aid to be held Monday represents the first chance many students have had to raise their voices as citizens concerning a government policy which effects them directly. The march promises to be one of the largest mass demonstrations since the no nukes rallies of the late seventies. More importantly, it illustrates the fact that today's youth are not the sheepli\e lot which we are often thought to be. It shows that we have the character and the !!trength to stand up and be counted. Students on the whole have been passive and inactive since the end of the war in Viet Nam. Perhaps such a respite was necessary and positive. The anti-war protests of the 60's and early 70's did have their excesses and their disgraces. A period of calm allows wounds to heal. But, a decline in student activism is not to be interpretted by conservative politicians as a free pass to count the student population as political non-persons. The proposed cuts in financial aid illustrate that President Reagan has made just such an interpretation. The students who participate in Monday's march will be proving him wrong. The arguments given by the administration

Letter Dear Editor : l'ntil today, I thought I was the unly one who saw this school as stifling and showing no regard to the world around us. I was more than pleased to see the editorial,

in favor of the cuts are completely vacuous . One contends that education is not the responsibility of government. Have we not had public education in this country for nearly a century? Another argument is that students have to take cuts like everybody else to help get this country on its feet again. When the military-industrial complex takes its fair share of cuts then tell the students to take theirs. Money spent on education will do more to set this country aright than the billions spent to build weapons which we pray we never have to use. No, the real reason Reagan and Stockman took the knife to financial aid is that they thought the student population would grumble a bit and then go away. If they turn out to be right, then students who find they can no longer afford college next year will have none to blame except themselves. The opportunity to disprove the president is before us now. The students of the 70's took a well deserved break from activism. That break has given today's students the label of lethargic. Monday will be the testing ground for the students of the OO'sto disprove that label. We encourage every student who can possibly participate in the march to do so. And, we applaud the student leaders both nationally and at Cabrini who have worked to make this march possible.

Barb Campbell, senior: I don't think it was fair. We should have had an equal opportunity to be on the committee. We should have had a voice to say if we wanted to be on it.

LOQ.UITUR FEBRUARY 26, 1982

C~.P.XL'2J has mixed People at Cabrini are discussing the national contreversy as to whether or not the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) should become part of the Constitution of the United States, as the ratifi- . cation deadline draws closer . Three states are still needed to pass ERA into Jaw, but time is running out . The American public has until June 30 of this year to finish ratifying the law that proponents claim is necessary to achieve equality between sexes . The most important clause (Section I) in the proposed 26th amendment states : "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex." On campus, a survey conducted by Loquitur showed that out of 30 people (half men , half women) asked, 12 were for ratifi-

cation and 18 were against . More Cabrini females were in favor of ERA (11 of 15) while more males were against it (14 of 15). As the totals show, 60% of those surveyed were against ratification of ERA . Those surveyed were shown a copy of :ERA and were briefly filled in as to what the amendment entailed and what results it would have for Americans if ratified . The information used to "brief" those questioned came from a text book entitled Reaching for Justice: The Women's Movement which is used in a religion course taught at Cabrini. Of those surveyed, one of the strongest advocates in favor of ERA ratification was Dr . Kathleen Daley , instructor of social science. "Definitely, I am in favor of

BSU celebrates BY KATHY McCARTNEY

Black history month isn 't just a thing of the past, seems to be the major theme the students of the Black Student Union were emphasizing during black history month at Cabrini. Black history month is a tradi tional celebration during the month of February . It is a time for blacks to reflect, celebrate , and recognize their cultural background heritage, and the significant role they play in today's society and future societies . The Black Student Union sets out to accomplish such results . On Feb . 19 from 8 to 9 " Blacks of America .... We Salute You" was the title of the program BSU presented to students and the community in the Mansion . The show evolved around a time span starting from the days of black slavery to our present day society. Members of BSU with their own unique talents and style joined in a team effort to repre sent and recite important events, social and political prominent fig-

feelings about ERA

ERA . If people would come to realize what a simple statement it is, nobody would be against it ." Daley said. Daley explained that ERA is necessary because a "clear statement" is needed to "clarify the ambiguous laws" concerning equal rights for women. " Courts have historically interpreted laws in different ways at different times according to the social climate. A clear and definite statement like ERA is not open to such interpretation," Daley said. Daley also thought that ERA had a " symbolic" importance as well as a judicial. Daley referred to ERA as an important "moral" issue for todays society. Further, Daley backed her argument (and the argument of others at Cabrini who support ERA ) by stating that the majori-

The cast identified with the important black figures in the political , religious , social and athletic world , and the insprirational message they leave for blacks of the future . Civil rights leader Martin Luther King was portrayed by Rita Calicat , president of BSU, in a famous passage among King's speeches . Theresa Diamond, sophomore , and Lori Smith, vicepresident of BSU, each played a clar inett and flute while Mike Bennett , senior , played the trumpet in honor of Ubey Blake and other black jazz musicians . African dances were portrayed by students Lynnjoy Williams and Evetta Borden , junior were among the dancers . When I asked Rita Calicat , junior , the main goal of the black student union she replied , "We are aiming towards wiping out the non-chalant attitude among

many students about the black heritage ." Another issue the black student union is concerned with is Re aganomics. They are worried about how the cut backs of financial aid and student loans will af_fectblacks . " The blacks who are in lower middle class income brackets will find it very hard or impossible to continue their educa tion here at Cabrini. " Calicat said . " We, the black student union, can 't see any justification for it. " The club wishes to ha ve black students involved and aware of the financial difficulties they will be compet ing with in the near future . They would also like to see if any action can be taken by informing Cabrini of their concern . Art hur Young , professor of English has been immensl y sup portive in making a program which deals with black literature and the roles blacks play at Cabrini.

ty of citizens in the U.S. are currently in favor of ERA. "A national survey would show that ERA would pass, " Daley said . Those at Cabrini who oppose ERA disagree with Daley's opinion of "necessary clarification." Senior social science major, David Murphy, like other Cabrini opponents of ERA ratification, does not feel that the law is necessary . Murphy pointed out that the 14th amendment of the Constitu tion (which refers to equal rights and privleges of all citizens) already provides for equal rights to all Americans. This, in Murphy's opinion, includes women. Murphy also felt that a Jaw like ERA would not benefit society as proponents say it would.

" I would fear that necessary role distinctions in society would be hurt by ERA. The law could further alienate men and women and where they stand as individuals. 路 Murphy , along with others who oppose the law, thought that ERA can detriorate the important social aspects that distinguish men from women . Dr . Joylon Girard, chairperson of the history department gave his view on ERA. "I support J!:KA because I feel there is sufficient constitutional confusion that would be corrected with a specific amendment which would articulate sexual discrimination," said Girard . Mixed feelings over the ERA issue were expressed wherever the survey was taken on campus.

New maior may pass BY TAM ltA DIMARINO

An accounting major looks as though it 's just around the corner for future business students interested in this field . The Academic Counciland Executive Board recently reviewed this proposal. The Board of Trustees is expected to vote on the proposal by the end of Febru ary . Howard Buzzard , chairperson of the business adm inistr ation department , sa id, " It is anti cipated that the proposa l will be passed ." Maria Gentile , a senior religion major , is the student repre sentative on the Academic Afairs Committee which discuss pro posals before they go before the Executi ve Board and the Board of Trustees . She said that the idea of the accounting majo r was first discussed in April 1981, and that the proposals didn 't come out until October 1981. If the proposal is passed , two separate majors will exist . The existing business adminis tra tion major requires 57 total cred its with 12 of those permitted outside of the business departmen t. This is the sa me format for the accounting major . Buzzard said the accoun ting ma jor would pro vide students with professional t raining . He said the end result would enhance their business opportunities by creating a base of alumni which would become successfully em ployed . Students majoring in accounting would be encouraged to declare their major in the freshman year , but it would be a must that the y declare this particular ma jor no later than the second semester of the sophomore year . Othrwise , it would be impossible to complete the four year program in four years . " In theory " Buzzard said " a student could graduate next May with a B.S. in accounting ." This is provided that he has taken all the necessary courses. The current business administration program took effect in fall 1981. "At that time, " Buzzard said, "it 路seemed that the next logical step was the development of an accounting major ." In May 1981,six students graduated with degrees in business administration . This spring about 24 will graduate. "It is highly unlikely that any accounting majors would be graduated in 1983," Buzzard said .

He said this would probably begin in 1984. At present there are about 25 freshmen and sophomores exposed to accounting. Three new courses would be offered as a result of the major . The firs t of these would be a course dealing with the princip les of audi ting . Advanced acounting would be a theor y course that would build upon the second semes ter . The third course would be a caps tone that would tie together pevious courses . " It would dea l with contemporary problems ," Buzzard said . Buzzard doesn 't anticipate tha t the new courses would be offered until the 1982-83 school year . Right now the y want to let th e students know that the acco unting major is available to them . Students majoring in accoun ting would not ha ve to attend other colleges for any of their requ ired courses ; the needed courses would be offered at Cabrini . Buzzard said that he would be reluc t ant to appro ve of studen ts taking an upper level course off campus . From the standpoin t of sevra l business majors , Buzzard said , some students feel disappoin ted tha t the y were not able to ta ke accounting courses and feel that they would have benefitted from them . Gentile feels that an account ing major would be beneficial to Cabrini in that it would attract more students . She also feels , however , that it could cause the college to go too much toward business . " I like the idea of Cabrini as a liberal arts college ," she said . Dan Ross , a junior business major , thinks that the accounting major would be beneficial for Cabrini students interested in an accounting career . " It would be on an equal level with area schools , such as Villanova , as far as the courses themselves ," he said . Tom Caruso , a junior transfer student from Delaware County Community College with a major in business disagrees with Ross . He thinks that the new major would "definitely bring more people into the school, " but also pointed out that there are a lot of business schools in the area . He doesn't think that Cabrini would be able to compete with other colleges and universities such as Villanova and Drexel.

Latorre puts bi-lingual talents to good use BT RITA McKELVEY

Meastra: "Hola, Que tal?77 Estudiante: "Bien, y usted?" Maestra: "Bien, gracious" To the average student, this dialogue may sound like Greek, but to the students in Lourdes Latu1Tl'S dass. it is unmistakenly Spanish. Lourdes, a senior at Cabrini College, teaches an all Spanishspeaking class at Potter-Thomas Elementary School in Kensington, PA. . Lourdes, who teaches second grade says, "Everything is taught in Spanish. It is a bilingual school. The students function in Spanish." One might wonder what interests an English-speaking person to take on the challenge of teaching a completely Spanishspeaking class. Well, wonder no more. Lourdes is of Puerto Rican descent and has spoken Spanish since she was a child. She was born in New York City and went to a bi-lingual high school in

Puerto Rico. Before school, she only spoke Spanish. She had her first formal Spanish class in high school. The high school in Puerto Rico made English and Spanish its two standard languages. The student was told to pick a third language. Lourdes chose French, but don't mention the word to her if you want to avoid grimace. "I can't do French," says Lourdes while making a disapproving face. Lourdes is one of two children. Her younger brother lives in Florida and goes to high school there. When asked if he speaks Spanish as well as she, Lourdes replied, "He is not that good in Spanish; however, my parents are bi-lingual." Lourdes likes student teaching and says that she has always wanted to work with people. "I can't be confined to an office; seeing four walls and the office everyday," she adds. Lourdes was encouraged by the Director of her Puerto Rican high school to teach. "When I graduated, I substituted for a

week or two. She had a lot of confidence in me." Lourdes was once undecided about her major. She explains, "I worked at Cabrini's children's school since freshman year. I first thought about teaching early childhood education, then elementary education, then special education.I finally decided on elementary education and in my sophomore year decided to double major in Spanish." Despite all of the decisions she had to make, Lourdes found time to engage in many activities at Cabrini. She is president of the International club, secretary of PSEA, has been secretary of her class for three years, was the coordinator of Job Squad, was the secretary-treasurer of the Living Arts Society in her sophomore and junior years, and was the cartoonist for the Loquitur in her freshman year. With graduation nearing, Lourdes is thinking about her future. She is thinking about moving to Virginia and teaching in the District of Columbia. She ex-

prefer elementary education." Lourdes feels that Cabrini has prepared her to teach, although she commented that the Spanish program at Cabrini is somewhat lacking and that the program should be made more appealing to students.

The resemblance BY PAM CLARK

A brother or sister can be more than just a relative--he or she can be a close friend, a confidant with whom one can share your thoughts and feelings. Just ask freshmen Michael and Matthew Garrison, Cabrini's set of identical twins. Indeed they are identical, right down to the same sandy-brown hair and baby blues. The fact that Mike has a mustache and Matt a beard is the only way this reporter could tell them apart. The resemblance is not just a physical one. They have the same

IS

likes in many areas and, to an extent, the same thoughts. For example, both men were deeply affected by the death of their grandfather last year. "We were like triplets," Matt explained. "We did a lot together. Losing our grandfather could be compared to what it wo1tldbe like for me to lose Mike." Mike further emphasized this special closeness by stating, "Matt and I share so much. If he wasn't here, I don't know what I'd do." The twins are from Willingboro, N.J. They were born in

Cleveland, Ohio, on Sept., 6, 1963. Matt is the "older" of the two, having been born five minutes earlier than Mike. Growing up identical proved to be fun. Take, for example, the story of their first birthday celebration. "Our parents put two cakes in front of us and said, 'Go for it!"' Mike related. "We had cake in our hair, in our ears, in our clothes, everywhere! They threw us both in the bathtub afterward." As children, the twins dressed identically. They were mirror images who, in the fourth grade, took advantage of the situation by playing a trick on their teachers. They switched classes, with Mike (wearing Matt's glasses) going to Matt's English class and Matt going to Mike's history class. There was only one problem-Mike's history teacher gave a quiz, which Matt failed. "Boy, did we have to explain that one!" Mike said. Their parents, instead of being angry, were quite amused by their sons' trickery. One would think that some degree of competition would exist betweem the two, but they denied feeling any. "We haven't felt any competitiGn at all during school," Matt said. Mike agreed, saying, "There is no envy or competition. We each have our own problems."

Two of the world's BY SANDRA McNAMARA

Mot h e rhood and d a ughterhood . Two of the world 's toughest profess ions . You can 't get a collee degree to be a mother and you can 't get a licens e to be a daughter . Experience is the key in this rel ationship . Experience that only a mother and daughter can face . But today the mother and daughter relationship is facing the bigest challenge in years . With the ever changing role of women in today's society the mother-daughter relationship is showing signs of strain . Traditional women aren 't willing to accept the role of women in societ y. In other words , more traditional mothers aren't willing to accept the new found independence of their daughters . According to Stella Chase , M.D., and Jane Whitbread, authors of the book, "Daughters: From Infancy to Independence " they state , " Girls are still trained to be wives and mothers first. Parents teach girls to be modest, unassuming and retiring to

please men rather than satisfy themselves. '' Toda y most women still aren 't socialized for achievements by their mothe r s . In studies that have been done , it has been shown that women 's achieve ment scores have dropped as " Today the average woman will work and face the greatest challenge of her life . Women who were brought up in a traditional way by their mothers aren 't willing to live that way anymore. "

they moved into their higher levels of edu cation . This drop in scores is not due to women being less intelligent than men, but that women are simpl y told and conditioned that they must play second best . if they are too intelligent and achieve too much they won't be able to get themselves a man. It is this point that has the potential for the greatest stress in the 1980's for the mother-daugh ter relationship .

Daughters are starting to move away from home, trying fo create a life for themselves . A life which includes freedom, inde pendence and success. According to Mary Louise C. Sicoli, assistant professor in spe cial education and psycholog y, "T oday the average woman will work and face the greatest challenge of her life . Women who were brought up in a traditional way by their mothers aren't willing to live that way anymore ." Many times it is hard for a mother to allow her daughter to grow and become independent . They want freedom for their da ughters but many times just don't ha ve the courage to let their daughters go. ,, This is what is so special about motherhood . A woman will ra ise her children , watch them grow . She may feel that she may have full control of their lives . This isn't a horrible notion, but just a part of being a mother . You want the best for your daughter . But an important question to ask is whether you want the best for yourself or really .

professions

want the best for your daughter . Through the stresses and strains of the mother -daughter relationship come several beautiful things . Both women have shared a part of each other 's lives . One understands the other and this is a comforting thought .

So many times in my life I can remember being happ y And so many times I can remember being scared But through all the times of my life , I can remember one person who stands alone Who I can turn to To be with To laugh with and to cry with She isn 't ver y old, But she knows so much She can 't always be there , But she is anywa y I love this woman I alwa ys will She's my moth er , one pers on who stands alone - Sandra McNamar a

There has always been something about motherhood and being mothered . Both in many ways are alike and this is why the relationship is so special. There is a tie between the mother and daughter which brings them ver y close. Stella Chase and Jane Whitbread state " The everlasting quality of the mother -daughter relationship can be a lifelong source of comfort, strength and continui ty to the daughter as she goes a bout her separate and inde pendent life ." Always let the mother -daugh ter flourish . It is perhaps the best and closest relationship two women could have .

Eleven recognized for overall achievement BY MAUREEN CARROLL

Eleven Cabrini students were chosen for a national organization which recognizes outstanding college seniors for academic achievement as well as extracurricular activities. Newly elected members of Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities are Janet Alfonsi, business major; Frances Carusi, business major; Theresa Collins, psychology major ; Kathleen Cordilla, business and English / Communications major; Kathleen Filippo, special and .elementary education major; Maria Gentile, religion major; Judy Hammet, psychology ma- ¡ jor; James Lawlor, English / communications major; David Murphy, social science major; Diane Nardy, special education and psychology major; and Marian Stewart, social science major. "All seniors may apply," said Jo Harris Brenner, assistant to the vice president of academic affairs. "The 1973-74 Student Academic Council voted that there be no cum requirement." Brenner termed the procedure "vigorous" saying that Cabrini is much stricter than many other schools . The first step is for all seniors and fulltime faculty for at least three years to nominate eight seniors whom they think exemplify the qualifications set out by the national organization.

Qualifications listed on the application are an "evaluation of the students ' scholarship ability ; participation and leadership in academic and extra-curricular activities; citizenship and service to the school; and potential for future achievement." The second step is to have all nominated students prepare a one-page typed curriculum vitae . " A curriculum vitae is a brief description of the student's life to this point with a particular focus," Brenner said. "It is an overall history of your college years ." Those who vote include admin istration, faculty and students . Seniors holding major offices in school organizations vote a second time as the head of the organization . For each position a senior holds , he or she gets an extra vote . She noted that it does not matter if you are a fulltime or parttime student . However, a senior may only be considered once for Who's Who. The recipints will be formally recognized at the Spring Convocation and at the Commencement Exercises . Dave Murphy was involved in Student Government Association acting as a dorm representative and president of his class in freshman and sophomore years. He has also been a member of Kappa Sigma Omega, the student service organization, Student

Selisker- brings new insights with him to Cabrini BY KAREN CANCIO

Benjamin Selisker,the new Communications teacher for the television course, has several amusing anecdotes from the many interesting positions he has held . 1 Selisker came to Cabrini at the request of Dr. Jerome Zurek . Zurek needed someone to help him in the selection of equipment for Cabrini's new television studio. The experience Selisker has drawn from his many communications assignments makes him a natural for the new communications center. Selisker's interest in communications started in Lower Merion High School where he worked on their radio station. He continued his studies at Temple University where he earned a bachelor't degree in communica-

tions and a master's in instructional technology . He is pursuing post-graduate studies at the University of Delaware . Selisker has worked at WFIL stations as an engineer and film cameraman editor, at Temple 's Office of Instructional TV as a producer-director, and in the Philadelphia and Lower Merion School Districts as coordinator of instructional technology. For the New Castle Del., vocational district,he coordinated the communications centel:. His prP.sent position is as the district-ltvel video-communications adminis trator for the Springfield School District. He is also the Cable TV coordinator for the district .

Selisker says he just didn't have the nerve to mention it to the 230pound linebacker. Eventually the ex-Eagle picked it up on the playbacks and stopped waxing his head before doing the show. Selisker , who currently resides in Wilmington with his wife and two children , is also an avid photographer and ice hockey player. He is also a ham radio operator . He belongs to an organization called MARS which relays messages from marines to their families.. , He feels " Cabrini is by no means as large as Temple University's television studio, which was the old Mike Douglas studio, but it has the potential of growing into a studio the same size."

There is a new honor society on campus. It is Beta Zeta, a chapter of the Sigma Zeta Honorary Science Society . This honor society is for majors in math, biology and chemistry , who have the appropriate academic requirements. Dr. John E . DeTurck, advisor of the honor society , said the chapter was brought onto the campus to unify the sciences . " I feel that it was a good idea to have an honor societ:i_ that included all the sciences ," DeTrck said. "There was no honor society for the math majors and the society can help enrich all three majors. "

Dr . Joseph Sheldon, of Eastern College, was the chief inductor for -the chapter . DeTurck said, "It will be really useful to have the Cabrini and Eastern chapters working together on certain joint events. " The inducted faculty members are DeTurck, professor of biology; Anna Kruse, assitant professor of biology ; Robert McGee, associate professor of mathematics ; Gerald Satlow , ass is tan t professor of mathematics ; Carol H. Serotta , lecturer in education and mathematics ; Margaret Whittaker, lecturer in biology ; and Michael Doman , lecturer in mathematics .

BY MARK MAGNER If one were to look at a Cabrini calendar they would notice that it is heavily sprinkled with sophomore class activities. Since the sophomore class officers have been re-elected, they have been proving that the sophomore class is one of the more active, if not the most active student organizations at Cabrini. Their many class functions include pretzel sales, casino and bingo tickets sales, a hoagie sale, a carnation sale, several dances, the Sophomore/Faculty basketball game, and finally, SophomoreSenior Farewell which is to be April 30 at St. Davids Inn .

"We are very busy indeed," claimed Brian P. Jensen, sophomore class president.

The '40's were a tumultuous period in history for all the world. It was mid-century and a world war- -the second--was raging .

Th~ plunderm~ of Europe had ~ndehbly sc~rred its peoples leavmg_them w~th only the hatred of the~r E:nemies. and the love for their kmsmen m common. In the small town of Lucerne, Switzerland, Headmistress Hunter struggles to . maintain peace am_ongher meltmg po~ of young ladies ..She r~ns a boardmg school for girls: girls from Po1and'. German Y, France, Amen.ca, and _England. . Their story is portrayed m the

key to adult theater gripping play by Fritz Rotter and Allen Vincent entitled "Letters to Lucerne ." In the play , six young ladies read letters they have received while in Lucerne. At school, they are somwhat cloistered. The realities of the war are not always evident. The letters bring the war and all its prejudices to the girls . Perna specifies that each actor must research his character's nationality traits , particular nuances in speech and dialect, and must, in essence , "create, but not imitate" the character. The time aspect is also an important element to consider . While Perna looks back to the '40's as the "good ol' days" when he was young and carefree, his actors never experienced the war days except through the eyes of Dr. Girard in 20th century United States history class.

As characterizations are so important, Perna decided the ideal scenario for such a play would be the Mansion. The atmosphere, furniture, and design would fit in perfectly with that of Lucerne . ~aria Genti~e, senio! _religi~n maJor and active partici_Pant m dram'.1, sug~ested the idea to Mansion residents; The plan was reJected because of the tt:diously ~ong ~ractices and the mconvemence it would cause on performance nights: Apr . 30 and May 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9. Residents of the Mansion would have to be met by their dates for the Sophomore/Senior Farewell at the backdoors. Also exams are being conducted throughout the last weekend's performance and certain studying habits would be interruptd. In the Theater's bleak familiarity, the bittersweet drama of six girls' discovery of hidden parts of themselves will unfold.

Then spring into Philadelphia I don't know about the rest of you, but unti 1 came to Cabrini, I really didn't know that much about Philadelphia. And until I started running around Philly with my roommate the other day, when I glanced through some pamphlets to write this a'rticle, I couldn't tell you the difference between Penn Center and Penns Landing. Well, I'm still definitly not an expert on activities in Philly, but I know a little rnore now. I thought that since the Ice Age is beginning to thaw around Cabrini, maybe it would be a good idea to give you some suggestions on places to visit in Philly. I suppose I can't go any / farther without mentioning the obvious historical spots that thousands of tourists visit annually: Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin's House, and Betsy Ross's House. Now that I've covered that, I'll go on to other places that you might not be as familiar with. For a sunny spring day, take a trip to Fairmount Park. Fairmount Park has swimming pools, a zoo, Japanese teahouses, gardens,and often has free concerts by the Philadelphia Orchestra at Robin Hood Dell. Fairmount Park is located north of the Philadelphia Museum of Art on both sides of the Schuylkill River. Now, don't think you can see all of it in one day--you really can't comfortably cover more than the six square miles of Fairmount Park. If you don't feel like walking, try the Fairmount Park trolly-bus, which departs from the Convention and Visitors Bureau (1525John F. Kennedy Blvd.) every 15 minutes between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The cost is $1.50 for adults, $1 for children and the ticket can be used at any time of the day. The trolly-bus stops at the Museum of Art where the park begins. From Boathouse Row on the east side of the Schuylkill, you'll see a beautiful view of the azalea

gardens. But suppose it's a rainy Saturday and you really don't have much to do. How about paying a visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art at 26th and Ben Franklin Parkway? It's open Tuesday through Sunday, lOa.m. to 5 p.m. Special exhibits and events such as films and musical performances are usually occurring at the Museum. Admission is $2 for adults; students with ID is $1. For those of you who are allergic to flowers, skip to the next paragraph. The Annual Philadelphia Flower Show will beheld March 7-14 at the Philadelphia Civic Center. It's open Monday through Saturday from 10 to 9: 30 p.m.; Sundays 10 to 6 p.m. Adult admission is $5. I remember visiting the flower show as a child and, as I can remember, it was really lovely. We all know about Chinatown in California and up in New York City, but are you aware of the spot in Philadelphia? There are tours available if you want to"walk with a native" through Chinatown. But if you would rather stroll at your own pace, there are plenty of sights, scents and sounds of the orient that you'll enjoy. And if you do enjoy walking, how about spending a day walking around the lovely homes in Society Hill? After World War II, no one would have considered walking through this once decrepit neighborhood. But since the urban-renewal project, that's

no longer the case. It's a lovely way to spend an afternoon, especially if you enjoy 18th century Georgian architecture. There are evening tours of Society Hill, led by costumed guides, that leave from the Holiday Inn at 4th and Arch every Wednesday and Friday at 7 p.m . The tour lasts about 90 minutes, and ends at New Market. Cost is $3 for adults, and $2 for children . If you've never been to New Market, next to Penns Landing, you might like to give it a try. Not only are there interesting little shops, but there are many different types of restaurants and cafes: Lily's Cafe and Restaurant, The Rusty Scupper, Ristorante Focolare and Koffmeyer'S Cookies. And .. there are horse and buggy rides available for around $10. While you're in the New Market area, you could spend the evening in a couple of areas. ' First stop is South Street. Here you can dress anyway you like--prep to punk--and still fit in with the crowds. The atmosphere on South Street is definitely unique: bookstores, hoagie shops, antiques, art galleries, European cafes, ice cream shops(!), Italian pizza shops, and punk shops. After you've seen South Street, Penns Landing is a nice romantic walk, if that happens to be the mood. If not, there are many spots in the area that you can stop in for a bite to eat, drink, or dance.

From Broadway stage to Cabrini's theater BY SANDRA McNAMARA

What happens to a little girl from a happy, protective and religious family who decides that she wants to be an actress? She grows up to be Jeanne Fisher, a successful actress and teacher who has done everything from summer stock, commercials and Broadway . Fisher, who is presently the acting teacher for Cabrini's Visual and Performing Arts Saturday program was a total joy to speak with during the interview. When she was a little girl and saw her first Broadway play, she knew she wanted to be an actress . "I never told anyone, "stated Fisher . "I couldn't believe anyone would believe me ." Fisher had first started her education at Drew University. She left, and decided to go to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts for 2 years . While Fisher was in New York, she worked quite hard at getting a part in a play . "Sometimes it doesn 't matter how good you are, what is important is a familiar face." Fisher became such a familiar face to one casting director that she landed herself in a Broadway play, "Room Service" with Jack · Lemmon . "I think they got tired of seeing me," laughed Fisher, "I kept thinking that they had made a

mistake, that they picked the wrong person ." Soon after Fisher married and moved to Philadelphia where she appeared in television's first western. "It was a grand experience. We would get the script between Sp.m. and 7p.m., have a rehearsal the next day and go on the same day at 4 p.m. Your memory really had to work, and it didn't matter what the weather was outside, you went on." Fisher then went back to New York where she appeared in an off-Broadway production of "A Street Car Named Desire." It was the first off-Broadway production of the play and the playwright, Tennesse Williams, .had attended most of the rehearsals . "He was just a wonderful man, " stated Fisher . Fisher next left the theater to raise her family of-four children. "I wanted to raise my family, so I did one play a year and I usually directed it. " She soon found herself in such productions as ''Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" and "Virginia Wolf." "I found , as I grew older, that the roles were more interesting and exciting. I was coming into my own and I had more to offer.' ' Fisher, who is a method actress, found her roles to be more emotionally draining. "I becarrie emotionally involved and it takes its toll. It took me six months to get over Virginia Woolf, but it

was the best work I ever did." Throughout this time Fisher worked very closely with her brother-in-law, Guil Fisher. "We've appeared in several plays together and are such good friends ." One production, which was especially memorable was "I Do, I Do" where both actors age from their twenties to their seventies. Recently Jeanne Fisher did several commercials including local and national commerciais. "I love it, because it is such a challeng.e--everything must be precise." Most recently Fisher has been working as a teacher on Saturdays at Cabrini 's Visual and Performing Arts program for children. To Fisher teaching is exciting. "I love to see people find feelings, the essence of the feelings is so important. To see five and six._year_olds find this is excit ing." Fisher also had nothing but praise for Cabrini 's Saturday pogram . " I love what Dan Perna isdoing . He has such a drive and a wonderful eye for visual beauty . Things happen and move under his direction." I asked Fisher the best advice for any young performer.She simply replied, "Get a strong education, watch and listen to everything and everybody and absorb it."

"We're not a babysitting service, we don't look down to the children, we look up to the students." '' There's no camp in the area that offers so much as this camp because of the quality of the teache r s," Perna said .

production of "Mary Poppins " said, "It's fun . I want to be an actor when I grow up . It teaches me how to express myself using actions and projection." Perna · says, "The children aren't idling their time, this is a learning experience. Perna gives much thanks to Dr Frank Saul, Continuing Educa tion Department, for the freedom to be able to grow and expand this program and Jan Buzbee, Public Relations , who helped in the research and publicity of this project .

Read all about it: gators, ca_ ts, dnd stiffs BY CAROL WAHL

In the search for humor, authors of trendy books have pro moted cats , social classes, Rubik ' s Cube , common psy chological insecurities and the government , particularly the President. Among the popular cat books, the "Garfield" series is a fore runner. Jim Davis , creator of "Garfield," reveals a humorous side to living through the antics of a fat cat. There are at present three "Garfield" books on the New York Times Paperback Bestseller list . "Garfield Bigger Than Life" is number one. "Garfield at Large" is number seven and "Garfield Gains Weight" is number eight. There are those writers who have decided to use the cat as a scapegoat for man's problems. They do their best to demolish the cat's reputation with books like "The Official I Hate Cats Books" by Skip Marrow and "101 Uses for a Dead Cat " by Simon Bond.

There are non-prep types who desire guidance on how to be a non-prep. For those people Ralph Schoenstein created "The I Hate Preppies Handbook : A Guide for the Rest of Us ." The conflicting lifestyles of preps . and non-preps are compared and found to be absolutely hyste rical. The symbol of preppism, the alligator, was determined by Royce Flippin and Douglas MCGrath to be an endangered species so they wrote "Save an Alligator, Shoot a Preppie" in order to save the great green lizard. Rubik's Cube, a great source of frustration to many people is acclaimed in several bestsellers. "The Simple Solution" by James G. Nourse, a Stanford chemist, is number one on the New York Times Paperback Bestseller list in the mass-market category . "Mastering Rubik's Cube," by Don Taylor, is number four in the trade category. "You Can Do the Cube," by Patrick Bossert, a 13-year-old English schoolboy, is number two

in the trade category . This just goes to sho}Vthat people .of all ages, of all nationalities, are tired of peeling off the colored stickers and want to find the "easier ' soltion to this puzzling puzzle. For those people whose frustrtion with the cube seeks a more unusual outlet there is the book by John ·zales and John Stevens entitled "101 Uses for a Dead Cube." Luckily for some authors, people have basic insecurities which they like to be taken out of the closet and shown in a humorous light. . "I Think I'm Having a Relationship With a Blueberry Pie," by Cathy Guiswite, describes the frustrations of the lonely, average -American, single woman and reveals how having dessert can be a fulfilling experience. For the eternal pessimist there is "Murphy's Law" by Arthur Block. It is a collection of "laws" about the unexplainable phenomena known as "bad luck." Art example is: "If everything is going right you must

have done something wrong ." A recently published book, " Who's Nobody in America ," by Derek Evans and Dave Fulwiier explores the fascinating nonentity , the " Nobody " personality and shows ht>w you can become one too. Who knows , the auth ors suggest , maybe the book was written with you in mind. For people who look beyond religion and the government for guidance there is "Miss Piggy 's Guide to Life" as told to Henry Beard . Miss Piggy, a foremost authority on the "moi" generation, explains how she succeeds in life a la swine. Books that "cut-up" American politics are very popular among trendy book publishers. The "First Family Paper Doll and Cut-Out Book'' by Jim Fitzgerald, John Boswell, and illustrator, Al Kilgore, allows readers to literally cut-up the President and his family. Another critic of the American political system, G.B. Trudeaur, creator of "!)oonesbury," has

written an adventure story entitled " In Search of Reagan 's Brain ." He has also written a titillating romance about a cer tain actress who recently separated from her husband , Sen . John Warner , entitled "A Tad Overweight , But Violet Eyes to Die For ."

Indoor Soccer A newly formed indoor soccer league consisting of five teams play their games in Cabrini's Sacred Heart gym on Sunday mornings. Delaware County Community College has three entries in the league along with a team from Cabrini and another team headed by Will Langton and Tom Bryant , Cabrini ·s outdoor soccer team coaches. The games consist of two 25 minutes halves with two games being played each Sunday . :\!embers of the Cabrini team are: Tony Ciro , Sulamon Allyn, Steve Brown , Jim Vail, Chris Collins , Jeff Brun , Andy Zipfel , Erick Gavalis , :\lick Papatzikas , and John Yheaulon. Their record currently stands at 0-ti.

Jerry Szebo will be the women ·s volleyball team ·s new coach in the fall.

grade point average. "I work around practice," he said. "If I have both practices in the same day I get my work done ahead of time." In high school, Breslin played just basketball but he started playing soccer at Cabrini as a freshmen and says, "I have come to like it just as much as basketball." He says the biggest thrill he has experienced playing soccer was scoring Cabrini's only goal in a 1-1tie against Pinebrook Junior College during the 1981 season. "That was a great feeling," he said. As for basketball his biggest thrill is "just making the teams." Breslin says he likes both sports just the same even though he plays less in basketball than in soccer. Cabrini's head basketball coach, John Dzik, has high praise for Breslin. "Paul plays up to the full potential of his ability 100%of the time, in practice and in games," Dzik said. "In my opinion, he is the only player at Cabrini who does this, in men's or women's sports. To me, Paul personifies an athlete." Soccer coach Will Langton also thinks highly of Breslin as was evident after Cabrini's 1-1 tie against Allentown College this past saason . Langton said, "Paul was more responsible than anyone for the team's good play ." Early in the soccer season Breslin was switched from fullback to halfback to take advantage of his aggressive play. Langton felt that Breslin developed very well at his new position throughout the season. Breslin says of his two coaches, "I have learned a lot from both of them . They both know what they are talking about." · When the two seasons are over

• • 1n wrestling Student interest rises BY SHEILA FANELLE

Will the college community come out to see two opponents struggling for seven consecutive minutes in one-on-one competition? Michael Garrison, a freshman biology major, thinks so. Garrison went to his high school wrestling matches where he wrestled for four years, saw a college match and thought about what it would be like if Cabrini College had a wrestling team.

"Having a wrestling program will have a great impact on the athletics here," Garrison aid. Andrew J. Litavec, assistant professor of education, wrestled for four years during college. Litavec will be the faculty representative who will sponsor the program. "This year we will organize male students who are interested in the program," Litavec said. "The problem we face is attracting ten men to fill the ten

weight standards for the college level." The weight levels are as follows: 118lb., 126lb., 134lb., 142lb., 150lb., 158lb., 167lb., 177lb., 190lb., and unlimited . The soccer team initially started out as a club. "If we are as successful as the soccer players were before they became a team, a club level success will develop into a team," Litavec said, "If there is enough interest generated we plan to start as a club next year."

Flexibility important •1n sports BY DEBBIE JABLONSKI

Constant care must be taken throughout an athlete's life to prevent serious injuries which can hinder the athlete's participation in sports. Not only must the varsity athlete be aware of precautionary measures to prevent injuries but the once-in-awhile athlete should also prepare before engaging in any sporting event. Main emphasis should be placed on the flexibility of an athlete . In order to prevent serious injury to the muscles , various types of stretching exercises should be completed before a sporting event . According to an article by Robert L. Lawson in Sports Medicine Guide, several exercises which help establish muscle and joint flexibility are the" J " stretch and Yoga Sit. The "J " stretch helps strengthen and stretch the lower back, neck and hamstrings. Lying on the floor with hand stretched out to the sides, lift your legs over your head and roll the hips. This exercise should be held for 10 seconds and then released and repeated . / The Yoga Sit helps strengthen and stretch the lower back, hips and the groin . In order to do this exercise, sit with your knees bent and feet (the soles of your feet)

However, if a muscle-pull or strain occurs, the athlete should rest and apply ice for 20 minutes (ice should not be placed directly on the skin). After resting and treating the injury with ice, heat should be applied the following day and support should be given to the injured muscle (an ace band<:1geshould be used) .

Varsity athletes and non-varsit y athletes are constantly plagued with sprairts to the ankles and wrists . In case of this type of injury, what should be done after the injury occurs? First, the injured area should be elevated , and the athlete should rest. Second , ice should be applied (not directly to the skin) to the sprained injury. Finally, support should be given to the injured area by using an ace bandage wrap.

Litavec invites any male student whether they've had experience or not to help them. Wrestling is a sport of hand-tohand combat between two opponents who seek to throw and pin each other during three periods. The first period lasts for three minutes and the last two are two , minutes long. Garrison describes the last period as "critical." If you make a mistake the other man capitalizes on your mistake.

As a club, the members could participate in scrimmages with other community colleges in the area. "Dr. Joseph J . Romano, vice-president of academic affairs, has indicated that he will support a budget to provide equipment if enough interest is generated," Litavec said. Eight of the 18 to 25 men interested have had previous experience. Michael Gimpel, a sophomore business major has had four years experience in wrestling; two of his four years were on the college level. Gimpel described the difference of the college level from the high school level as "the moves are quicker and of a higher quality."

One of the most important aspects of a basketball game takes place on the foul line when the player is given an opportunity for a free shot. The Lady Cavalier squad understands the importance of these . According to coach Mike Tenaglia, the team has shot 60 per cent from the line for the season as of Feb. 18. The women sink 50-60 percent of their foul shots each game . " We do a drill where the players get a chance to practice foul shooting, " Tenaglia said . "They get two shots and if they miss , the team has to sprint to the opposite end of the court. The squad's top five foul shooters are Lisa Hurst, '85, Debbie Harvey, '84, Eileen Herbig , '85, Annette DeJesse , '84, and cocaptain Terri Leinenbach, '83. All five players devote time outside practice to foul shooting . But do they get nervous in game situations when they must shoot a foul shot? "Yes, but if youtake your time you know they'll go in," DeJesse said . "When you get hyped-up the shot will be off."

Herbig noted that foul .shots are nerve-wracking when the score is close . She, Harvey and Leinenbach have been in situation!; when their foul shots were crucial to the outcome of the game . You have to take your time and relax ," Herbig said . Perhaps these players are good shooters because they realize the importance foul shots are in a game . All agree that they could make the difference between a win or a loss . " At first I couldn 't shoot fouls ," Harvey said . " Once dur ing a high school game when I missed a foul shot I promised myself I'd never do it again. That summer I practiced and when I went back in my senior year I hardly missed a foul shot. With these shots , it's just you and the basket ." Hurst noted that in a game against Spring Garden College, foul shots played a major role . " It was a close game," she said . " Foul shots lost the game for us." Leinenbach reiterated this point saying, "Games are lost and won on the foul line."

Athletic association reorganizes BY DEBBIE JABLONSKI

A major reorganization of the athletic association will be taking place this semester . "The constitution is old and we need people to turn to," Chris Collins, senior and former president of the association, said. "There was a lack of active members," Terri Leinenbach, junior, added, "Collins felt the need for a reorganization." As a part of the reorganization, new officers have been apointed by Collins with the permission of SGA. Acting officers will be in office for the spring semester with new elections being held in the fall. New officers are junior Terri Leinenbach, president; junior .Jeff Brun, vice president; sophomore Tom DeMatteis, treasurer; junior Kate Connolly, secretary; and junior Sulamon Allyn, artistic advisor. According to Leinenbach, the primary goals of the athletic associations are the establishment of an intramual program, raffles to benefit the athletic association and a student membership drive. "In comparison to most other campus clubs, the athletic as-

sociation last year was one of the most active," Leinenbach said, "the intramural program was very big." Leinenbach explained that two raffles are planned for this semester to raise money for the association. The money will be used to help fund the intramural program and the athletic awards night. "The students interested in joining the association will be asked to pay a $2 membership fee. The officers of the associa tion are hoping to gain free access to all home sporting events for members. Collins agreed partially with a statement made in a previous article by John Dzik, men's athletic director. that the athletic association was a "shame." "In a sense, I could see where it would be," Collins said, "this is something reorganization will prevent.'' Leinenbach added, "the athletic association may not have lived up to the expectations of Dzik, but it was the lack of manpower." She continued, "I don't intend to have this problem this semester ."

even sometimes by the players and the coaches. Whether the sport is men's or women's basketball, soccer or volleyball, the manager contributes to making the team a whole. Sulamon Allyn, junior, is one of the managers for the women's basketball team. As a manager, he is required to attend most of the practices and games. _ He puts in about an hour and a half at the daily practices. During the games, he reviews the different plays and takes the statistics. "This is my first season as a manager of any sports team," Allyn said. "I enjoy working wi~h the team and I am glad that they can use my help and advice."

This is Borden's second year with the team. She has to make sure that the floor is swept, the chairs and tables are put up and taken down and that all the team uniforms ae washed and ready for the next game . "I like basketball and I am looking forward to the championship games that are going to be held at Cabrini this year," Borden said. Dorene Hertzog, sophomore, is also a manager for the men's basketball team. It is Hertzog's first season with the team. She

has to make sure that all of Borden's orders are carried out. "I find men's basketball more interesting and exciting than some of the other sports," Hertzog stated. "It's a relaxing outlet and I am glad I can contribute to the team." Cathy Masino, junior, is a manager for the women's basketball and volleyball teams. It is her third season with the basketball team and her first season with the volleyball team. Masino has never participated in sports as a player but she has been managing sports teams since high school. "My entire family is involved in sports in some way and that's how I got interested," Masino said. "I have fun with the team and they are very supportive and spirited .'' Jeanne Pilcicki, sophomore, is a manager for the soccer team. It is her second season of running lines, keeping the time and score, activating the horn and keeping the water bottles filled. "I like soccer and it is a great way to get involved and to meet people," Pilcicki states. Helen "Goody" Goodwin, women's athletic director and coach of the volleyball team, -said, "The team managers are wonderful. They do all the pleasant and sometimes unpleasant things. We could not do without them."

Getting hold of wrestling called a pseudo-sport . It has become a form of entertainment in which athletic actors pull stunts that are only in part patterned after the skills of true wrestling. There are eight recognized wright classes in amateur wrestling. They go from flyweight (114.5 pounds) to heavyweight (213.5pounds). The training schedule for wrestlers during the season is very inte~se and hectic. John Ziegler, freshman, was on his wrestling team in high school, in the 158 pound weight division. "The practices were very intense," he said. "We did sprint runs, had to run up and down a set of steps about 25 times, and had to jump rope." These exervises aided in the deing the ancient Greek Olympic velopment of breathing and leg games.

SoftbQII making a big hit BY FRAN.CINE KUTERBACH

Put away your sleds and snow shovels and take out those bats and gloves. Spring is just around the corner and that means the start of the Cabrini College women's softball team. According to Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director, the first game is on April 1 and the women will begin pacticing following spring break. There are ten games scheduled so far, although she said, "we hope to get more." Concerning tryouts, Goodwin stated, "last year the coach kept all the girls, but it will depend on how many come out." Also, interviews are being conducted for a new coach. Last year the team tied for first place in their division and Goodwin is confident of the ability of the team this year. "We have a good chance of winning the division. I understand only two girls graduated, so the team will be basically the same as last year." "We should take the division this year," says Terri Leinenbach, '83, a member of last year's softball team. She is enthusiastic

about the start of another successful season. "It's great being on the team; they depend on you and you depend on them." Leinenbach really enjoys the sport. "Softball is less tedious than basketball; It's therapeutic, fun and competitive." Mary Collins, '83, has been playing softball since the 6th grade. "I love everything about it." Collins agrees that tqe team will go far this year. "When I was a freshmen, Cabrini was considered a club; now we're competition ." Collins feels that softball is a sport for everyone. "It gives everybody a chance to play. Most people play for enjoyment, not for sport. It's also good to break up a lot of studying." Many freshmen are expected to turn out for the team this year, Patty Hinke, '85, is looking forward to the start of the softball season. "I don't know what to expect since I'm trying out. I like sports and I played softball for four years in high school. It's not a strenuous sport like field hockey or basketball; it's just enjoyable."
