Too many students, too few beds

by D. B. Field

After numerous delays, meetings, proposals and problems, the plans for fall housing have been announced.

According to the Dean of Students Sr. Christine Marie Baltas, MSC, the Rudy Rooymans Counseling Center will not become a dorm, and according to Director of Resident Life Gus Nicoletti the college does not intend to force any upperclassmen to seek off campus housing.

Nicoletti said, "We will try to ac-

commodate all students who live at Cabrini at present and wish to remain on campus."

At the residency meeting of April 13 a student asked Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president of Cabrini College, would they change doubles to triples over the summer? Currie responded, ''It is not our intention to do so.'' When the-Loquitur asked Nicoletti the same question on May 3 he responded, ''It is a possibility for students who live in • Woodcrest and Counsel Hall."

SR. EILEEN CURRIE, MSC, president of Cabrini College, had announced at a student body meeting that the changing of Rudy Rooymans Counseling Center to a dorm may be an option to eleviate some of the spacing problems for housing next year. This week it has been announced that that alternative is no longer an option and Rudy Rooymans will remain a counseling center according to the dean of students office . (Photo by Mark M. Magner)

Perhaps the students who will be most affected by the lace of housing will be the incoming f~shmen. "176 new students were enrolled at Cabrini as of May 3, 1983," explained Frank Willard, director of admissions. "We do. not have housing for 40 incoming freshmen and transfers. They will have the option to investigate Harcum .''

Willard was referring to the offcampus housing offered at Harcum at Radnor. The option to live at Harcum was offered to the present Cabrini students at the residency meeting given by Currie on April 13. Despite this meeting and the $400 per semester rebate offered to students on May 2 to live at Harcum, only three students applied as of May 4." · Nicoletti added that "If not enough studentys sign up for Harcum by May 6, I can 't predict what we will do about the situation. " As for the freshmen , Nicoletti said , ''The first and second floors of . Woodcrest will be all triples . The capacity will be 144. We are only tripling a few rooms on the third floor , because we personally feel it would be safer. Also to make Woodcrest more comfortable , the second and third floor quads will be converted into study lounges.

"I grant that for the incoming freshmen, the situation is not ideal, but I think that with the right support

programs it could work well."

Students who at present live in Woodcrest have been asked to use the general lotteries and find housing elsewhere on campus. "The women who can't find housing in the Mansion or one of the houses, Nicoletti explained, will be placed on a waiting list and will live in Woodcrest. If during the summer a space opens up, I will notify the the first set of roommates on the list that they are being moved to that space. They will not have a choice in the decision. However, if a space opens up during a semester the roommates would have the choice to move or stay in Woodcrest. '' A common question around campus has been, "Why were so many incoming freshmen accepted? " According to Willard, " In the begin ning of the year the adminstration looked to admissions to bring in as many students as we could. We were all hoping for the biggest freshmen class ever ."

Willard went on to explain that '' Admissions sends a weekly report on the progress of applications and enrollment. We projected in December that we would indeed have our largest freshmen class. The situation became critical last month."

In response Nicoletti cited the trend

Currie, Baltas complete first year •1n office

by Barbara Bruhin

/

Cabrini College President, Sister Eileen Currie and Dean of Students, Sister Christine Baltas, complete their first year in office this semester.

Currie was not available for an interview this week, but wrote answers to a list of questions.

Currie stated to Loquitur last semester that she hoped to maintain growth at Cabrini by developing academic and student programrning.

She wrote on this topic recently, "I hope I've helped by supporting and encouraging faculty and staff to look to whatever steps should be taken next in the different areas of student life and academic programs.' \ In the area of academics, Joseph Romano, academic dean, stated,

"The biggest impact that Sister Eileen has made has been her interest in the curriculum, giving us support in establishing the curriculum committee and working to evaluate the academic programs." · "The fact that Sister Eileen was here as a lay student is significant," Romano continued. "She can bring the student's point of view to the college. I think she knows what the eollege needs to develop.''

Both Currie and Baltas received degrees from Cabrini in 1966.

Baltas is quoted in previous Loquitur issues as hoping to promote teamwork in the departments under her jurisdiction. These departments include resident life, student activities, campus ministry and the

counseling center. Baltas recently stated, "What I mean by teamwork is a closer working together of anyone in student services. We want more communication, more dialogue."

Baltas has initiated an entire staff meeting for all people working in student services. The meetings are held twice a semester. Baltas hopes that communication will aid in a faster more holistic approach to student services.

Currie entered the office of pre&_ident at a time when Cabrini's growth was at an all-time high. A year later, and Cabrini's growth still on the rise, Currie wrote, "I tried to help mostly by not getting in the way. I'm working with various groups on and off campus to provide for the impact of growth.''

The strict alcohol policy initiated by Currie last year while acting as Dean of Students has been upheld by Baltas. Baltas sees such a policy as difficult to enforce. "Even though the policy exists, I know that illegal drinking does go on."

Baltas concluded that students who came to her requesting permission to serve alcohol at school functions were understanding. "They didn't like the fact that I was saying that they couldn't have alcohol, yet -they accepted it very graciously.''

When asked about the problems in residency this year, Baltas stated that the problems stemmed from personaltiy differences, roommate problems and lack of previous enforcement of

PERSPECTI

V .ES

Problems with housing: we have questions "Will I be in a triple or a double? Will I live off campus? Will I be living in the Counseling Center? When was the lottery anyway?' These are some questions we have heard asked very much over the last few weeks by many students. Unfortunately, it sems the answers are less clear. What is clear inour report in this issue is the following: 1. Rudy Rooyman's Counseling Center will not be a dormitory .

2. The off campus housing option has been offered and, thus far, not enthusiastically accepted by the student body, despite the recent $400.00per semester discount. The Cabrini meal plan is still included in the lower price.

3. Admissions says that 42. students are enrolled at Cabrini expecting residence but no spa,ce is available for them. The off campus residence is said to be their only option at present unless other spaces open on campus, which is not likely.

These facts bring to the students' mind many other questions that have yet to be answered clearly . The questions stemming from the above information are indeed numerous and frustrating, expecially for the student.

We must disagree with the Dean of Students who stated that "The reaction from the students (at the recent student body meeting held by the President to "dispel rumors on residency") indicates that their questions have been answered." Indeed, some questions have not been answered. Here are a few: 1. Will anyone who presently lives at Cabrini be forced to live elsewhere in light of the poor reaction to off campus housing?

Answer: "We will try to accommodate everyone ." That says nothing and the question still stands . , 2. Will rooms that are presently designated as doubles, triples,etc. be changed before the sudents return in September? Answer: "It is

not our intentions to do so." or "It is a possiblity in Counsel and Woodcrest." Again, we are not satisfied with the ambiguous response.

3. Why was this entire matter let go until the end of the year? This indeed, is a loaded question. Is it admissions' fault? We don't think so, not with recorded projections that admissions claims to have been giving out as early as December 15. It also seems clear that admissions was given the green light to enroll a large class for next year. They certainly did a good job.

4. Where does the Office of Resident Life and the Dean of Students Office fall into all this? Again, this question spins off other questions .

What was the contingency plan knowing through admissions ' projections that this would occur? Or didn 't administrators believe the admissions statistics? Is it the job of the Resident Life office and Dean of Students to find resident alternatives? If so, is Harcum at Radnor an adequate alternative? Are these offices responsible for coming up with plans to resolve these problems? · Indeed, there are many questions that still remain unanswered . The biggest one is, how will all this affect the incoming freshmen and the students who live at Cabrini at present and plan to do so next year?

No doubt, there are many questions. We at Loquitur have always maintained that questions are healthy, but solutions that are arrived at only when a situation reaches a crisis are alrady too late. What is necessary is greater cooperation with the students and with the different offices on campus , to communicate, much earlier than was done in this case. We now have a problem, confusion , and many unanswered questions. We hope that such dilemmas will not occur in the future. Somebody has to begin planning things a lot better, because it's the students that lose in the end.

OPINION

•

Defense is something

by Pam Clark In the past, Loquitur has taken a stand opposing the nuclear arms race. But now, considering the topic of this issue's special section, I would · like to express my opinion as an individual.

I feel the nuclear arms race should continue, or the government should make some changes in our conventional armed forces. People who cry about the dangers and about the risks should look more closely at the facts instead of being blinded by fear and letting overactive imaginations run away with them.

First, I'd like to state the facts as I see them .

We are involved in an arms race with the Soviet Union - everyone knows that. What some don't realize is the Soviets outnumber us in conventional forces by incredible numbers. If we faced the Russians in a ground war, not only would we

LETTERS More help Dear Editor : In response to the statement that ''Our counseling center is the envy of other local colleges," I would like to state that although I am a member of the class of 1983,I graduated this past December and can give first-hand knowledge of Cabrini's Counseling Center. Specifically, I want to speak of career counseling. I have been searching for a job since before I graduated in December . I have also spent some intense minutes with Donna Seckar . Although I did gain some help in resume writing and a list of possible conl:panies to write to for jobs, I feel that, compared to other

to belieVe 1n close to their targets .

Believe me , there's nothing I would rather see than a global freeze of nuclear arms - IF all sides involved would participate faithfully . Even if there never is a freeze, perhaps we should concentrate anyway on building up our military's conventional forces. I'm not talking about a draft, but rather a re-evaluation of our training procedures and the management of our conventional troops. Making what we have top-notch could better our chances if we are ever faced with a non-nuclear confrontation .

It's hard to put down on paper my thoughts on an issue I feel so strongly about. But I want to stress how important I think the defense of this country is. Be it conventional, nuclear, or with water pistols, defense is something I believe is a major issue that affects all of us .

lose, but we'd suffer a terrible number of casual ties. The nuclear race helps maintain the balance of power between the U.S. and the Soviets , and that is important for our security.

Secondly, people get uptight and worry about accidents with nuclear weapons . They say , "What if someone accidentally pushes the but ton?" or "What if terrorists get hold of atomic weapons?" Ttrese people should understand that it takes more to lauch a nuclear weapon than simply pushing a button. Launching a weapon is a complicated procedure, requiring many different people doing many different things.

So, what if a weapon was launched by some mistake? Within seconds, our government would notify the Soviets, who would be able to blow the missiles out of the air before they even came

colleges, the help was inadequate.

Although Donna Seckar helps as much as she is capable of doing, I feel there are very many shortcomings in our career counseling service . I really feel that there has . been no concrete help in trying to get interviews or placements for me.

Friends that I know that attend other colleges have had several interviews set up for them, and they have come away with job offers. I feel like my years at <;abrini have been valuable and I hope this is proven when I do get a job. ~ I sincerely hope that in the future there will be a definite improvement in this area.

Sincerely, Fran Congileo Graduate Chemistry Major

DO THINK?

What do you think of the possibilities of° off-campus housing for Cabrini students? (Photos by Karen Labenz)

Evetta Borden, senior, "It makes sense. It gives upperclassmen more responsibiliites and a sense of the real world. Off-campus housing would be cheaper for student teachers who spend the day away from their rooms." ·

Matt Garrison, sophomore, " I think the administration should let us know what to do. This is a last-minute ordeal. I can't see why the school didn't have the foresight to see the problem. ''

Elena Bleisteip, junior, "I think Cabrini should supply housing instead of students going off campus. We pay a lot of money, and we deserve to have easy access to what the campus has to offer."

VIEWPOINT BR

IA N

P.

J E N S EN

It's been a learning experience "This is it!"- Those were the words that I used to open the Viewpoint article in the October 1, 1982 issue of Loquitur. That was our staff's first publication of the Cabrini College newspaper for the 1982-83 academic year . This is our last. In this final Viewpoint, one that I've been looking forward to writing for quite some time, I want to express a great deal of gratitude to many people Firstly, the staff of Loquitur this year has ben nothing less than top notch. The extra work of many of those on the staff who have done much more than what our jounalism course requires shows the personal dedication needed to make Loquitur a first class publication.

Respectively , I'd like to note all those who exemplified that extra dedication throughout the year: I'd like to thank the asistant editor, Patty McDermott, for being there when I wasn't and for making me aware of different points of view.

To Tom DeMatteis, Loquitur's news editor, I owe a very special thanks. Not just for his contributions to consistently publishfng an excellent news section, and not just for his extra work in business sales and in picking up the tab when I needed help -Tom's role as a friend who was with me through thick and thin was the only thing that outweighed his excellence as a working colleague. He's the finest companion that I ever had the privilege to work with, side by side .

To Sandy McNamara, the opinions editor, I must thank her for a job well done. The opinion pages were certainly the focus of much attention . Thanks for putting all that information in the right spots .

Next I must give a very special thank you to Loquitur veteran aces Pam Clark and Ann Belsky.

By far , these editors of the Features and Gallery pages respectively were major assets to the high quality and diversity of Loquitur . Both editors also tackled important stories that greatly enhanced the quality of the paper. Pam and_ Ann are indeed excellent editors and fine co-workers. Thanks for all you've done.

The sports pages were covered by Rita Calicat and Danny Ross this year . Their contributions to Loquitur are also well noted.

A new addition to the staff, graphic editors in the form of Sandy Momyer and Liz Kanaras, also proved to be most helpful this year. I must give a very special thanks to Sandy for all the extra input she has contributed to our paper. Loquitur 's dean look and diverse layout is largely due to Sandy's innovative contributions. She has proven to be a major asset to the staff.

And finally on the list of editor positions is Mark

M. Magner, photography editor. The high quality pictures that have appeared in Loquitur all year have certainly been worth the wait. Thank you Mark, for bringing Cabrini to us through the excellent photography done by you and you staff.

I must also praise the rest of the Loquitur staff, both individual reporters and those who took on the extra burden of assistant editor positions. The following students have been on the Loquitur staff in the 1982-83academic year: Assistants, Robin Larkins, news; Tom Schultz, opinions; Barbara Bruhin, features; Rita McKelvey, gallery; Lisa DiSantis, sports. Dave Field and Francine Kuterbach handled the SGA pages. Lou Klock was the business manager. The reporters were Susan Baj, Paul Breslin, Jeanne Hoepfl, John McQueen, Lori Lyn Smith, Anne Torone, Robin Williams, Chris Corcoran, Sheila Fanelle, Pat Conway, Karen Rinaldi and Debbie Peacock. The photography staff consisted of John Doyle, Erick Gavalis, Debbie Jablonski, Karen Labenz, Jose Rojas, and Nina Sommaripa .

Of course, I cannot forget the one person who has taught me the most about what being a journalist is all about. Dr . Jerome Zurek, Loquitur adviser and journalist instructor, has helped greatly in making Loquitur a publication to be proud of. He has also taught me a great deal not just in the field of journalism, but about working with people, being objective, insightful, and sometimes critical.

Through his own criticism and honesty of me as editor, I've learned a great deal more than I bargained for in journalism class.

Well, I think I've covered saying thanks to everyone . I'd just like to add one more note of gratitude to the readers of Loquitur. No doubt, it has -been quite a year for our publication , one that some readers might want to forget. But whether what you've read has thrilled you or not , it is noted here tjlat it was all done in good favor , the revealing articles not seeking anything more or less than hopeful improvement in the future.

I thank the readers for making our publication worthwhile by considering what you have read and saying something about it, positive or negative .

That's when we've felt most successful because we knew you were reading Loquitur, and it meant something .

For me personally, this whoJe thing has ·eeen quite a learning experience, one that I will not soon forget. But my tenure as editor is up and it's time to hand the steering wheel over to next years staff. I bid them the best of luck. And for now, '.'This is it!"

Congratulations to the newly selected 1983-84 editors of Loquitur.

Ginny Thornburgh, wife of Pennsylvania Governor Dick Thornburgh, is scheduled to speak at the Cabrini College Class of 1983commencement exercises on Sunday, May 15, at 3 p.m. ''The board of trustees suggested Mrs. Thornburgh to Sr. Eileen Currie, who passed it on to the senior class officers, " said Carol Hasson, president of the senior class . ·'Dick Vermeil was our first choice, but the board felt that with Vermeil 's resignation as coach of the Philadelphia Eagles , it might not be such a good idea. " It seems that the board wanted Mrs . Thornburgh to speak at last year 's graduation also , so the issue wasn 't pressed .

"Mrs. Thornburgh was chosen because of her involvement in special education, " said Jan

Buzbee, director of public relations .

Besides holding the important position of a gov-ernor's wife and mother to John, 25, David, 24, Peter, 23, and Bill, 16, Mrs .

Thornburgh is a member of the President 's Commit tee on Mental Retardation and a member of the Board of Trustees, AFS lnternational / lntercultm:al Programs, Inc.

Finding a iob is hard work I

by Ann Belsky If you're a college senior with no job to

go to after graduation , you can join the ranks of countless other 1983 graduates who will be pounding the streets toning their inverview skills and perfecting their resumes.

"It's very, very hard to find a job," 1982 Cabrini graduate Theresa Collins said. " Nobody tells you it 's going to be that hard."

It wasn't until six months after graduation that Collins finally found a job by paging through newspapers, sending out resumes and talking to people.

The oniy solutiorf seems to be to start looking early in the senior year. According to recent statistics in "Recruiting Trends,'' only 80 percent of the 1.3 million seniors graduating from colleges and universities will find suitable jobs t~is June.

According to a recent article in the Christian Science Monitor, ''this is the toughest year since World War II for college graduates," John Sh.ingleton, director of placement at Michigan State University, said.

Linda Pengilly, information assistant at the College Placement Council, added that the economy is at fault. Because of uncertainty over the strength or weakness of the economy, corporations are reluctant to name those who they will hire.

Donna Seckar, career counseling director, suggests seniors should start looking for summer employment early in the school year. She explained that the career center does carry some job referrals, but the best place to ·get leads for possible jobs is to build a good rapport with acquaintances and business managers who may be impressed with a student's initiative.

"Finding a job is really a full-time job in itself," Seckar said.

Senior Rose Donnelly, English and communications major and business minor, is hoping to get into a cable company after graduation. Since her father is building the company, he was her "connection" to

get an interview .

Early childhood education major Lori Evans said that there are a lot of people fighting for the same job and that " you have to know somebody to get in."

Fortunately for Anne Hemler , biology major, the woman she cleaned for~ this winter called in for a personal referral to the ,veterinarian she takes her pets to.

Hemler was granted an interview and did get the job.

Previous to this, she had sent out 30 resumes and only received four responses -all negative .

The following are three basic ideas to keep in mind when making an impressionable interview, according to the monitor: • Research the company thoroughly so the interviewer will feel confident that you have done your homework and know that you are already comfortable with the basics of their company.

• Be ready with good questions for the interviewer .

• Have a neat, professional appearnce which is particularly important in applying for jobs that involve meeting the public.

Since recruiters only have about 30 minutes to size up the prospective employee, they are most impressed with the applicant's education and work experience, career goals and good communication skills.

Chase Manhattan Bank, in choosing the candidates for its training prograll1, this year,looked for students who "demonstrated leadership qualities, displayed maturity and had some previous work experience, " according to the Monitor article. "The student's major or gradepoint average was not critical."

Most present seniors will agree with Collins when she suggests starting early in the search for that all-important lifetime employment and, Evans adds, "You must be serious about it and know what you want."

by Sandy Momyer

The Continuing Education Office at Cabrini College reports progress in its endeavor to meet the needs of its students .

Frank Saul, dean of continuing education, defines CE students as those enrolled on a part-time basis .

Saul said, "My ideal scenario is for all part-time students to be fully recognized as ·students of Cabrini College with all the services and privileges extended to !hem that are offered the full-time student~and that the college be flexible enough to resl)ond to parttime needs in terms of programs, schedules and services .·• _ Saul said one of the biggest advances toward that end has been the addition of Estelle Oristaglio to his staff . He said she is able to deal with the student services issue.

Oristaglio was appointed continuing education admissions director in the fall of 1982. She said, "A great deal of . planning, harg work and concern takes place here . Part-time students are important to us. They are an important component of the Cabrini College community. " Oristaglio said, "Academically, the dedication to the part-time curriculum is as strong as to the fulltime . We wouldn 't expect less of our professors or students. Now, we are

Another area of exploration is an honor society for CE students . Membership in the present society is restricted to full-time students.

Saul and Oristaglio would like to get CE students and other campus departments together rather than hav ing CE students rely on the CE office for all the needs .

Saul stresses , howe ver , the responsibility of the CE student , who mus t take the initiative to seek and utilize those ser vices once they are im plemented .

Robin Hayman , business major , is a CE student who will graduate in the class of 1983. She is happy an honor society is being considered.

Hayman said , "It is great to be a CE student . It builds self-esteem and I'm now in a position to move on with confidence. '' Michael Black, a teacher in the lnterboro School District, is enrolled as a CE student to earn certification for a special education position.

Black said , " Witi).in two days , _Dr.

" Black said he feels a part of the campus community in terms of people and services . The full:time stu dents are easy to approach and they are willing to extend themselves to help share .

Black keeps aware of campus activities through the CE Bulletin as well as Loquitur, which is available in the CE office . Black thinks the cam pus smallness makes Cabrini unique .

Oristaglio said CE has 140 students enrolled and this enrollment increases during the summer sessions .

The ideal enrollment is 300, she said .

Saul said his office offers undergraduate degree studies, certification, the master 's program in education, as well as seminars and workshops in such areas as fine arts, real estate and others.

Saul foresees offering associate degree programs , special courses directed to individual companies , whether at their locations or on campus , and an expansion of the graduate studies to other departments .

Residency committee cqlls for changes

by D.B. Field The residency review committee which was created by Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president of Cabrini College, has completed its review and given its report to Currie this week .

Director of Admissions Frank Willard was a member of the residen cy review committee. He said that the major suggestion in the committee 's report were as follows: • "Basically a review of all policies and procedures concerning residency, specifically to review the effectiveness of parietals and to find a more consistent enforcement of rules and regulations (especially concerning the alcohol policy).

• '' A closer working relationship between the director of resident life and the director of student activities to increase residency activities .

• "Also a closer working rela. tionship between the director of resident life and the resident assistants.

The R.A .'s need more of a support system. " Dr. Jerome Zurek , chairperson of the English and communications department and a member of the committee , said he felt that " The single most important suggestion the committee made was to propose the crea tion of a major permanent resident life committee . It should have represent ati ves from all parts of the school such a s facult y, student body, adm ini s tr a ti on, a dm issions and ps ychologists from the counseling cente r.

As for increased residenc y activities sophomor e committe e m ember Lad onna Mahech a expl ains , "We know the pres ent R .A.'s ar e trying to impl eme nt activ iti es in th eir residen-

cy , but we feel that Gus and the student activities director should help the R .A. 's in this area more . " An example of a good residency activity is Counsel Hall 's Christmas dinner . It has become a tradition , and we feel all of the residencies should ha ve their own traditions. " During the fall semester of 1982, resident assistants were able to meet regularly with Dr . Sidney Portnoy, a consulting psychologist of the Rudy Rooyman Counseling Center to discuss problems and pressures of their job . The committee felt that this was a good idea and that it should have been continued during the spring semester.

Chairperson of the psychology department and committee member .Anthony Tomasco said , "I think meetings with Dr . Portnoy were very important. The resident assistants need a strong support system .

The committee also stressed that the director of resident life should pla y an important part in the R.A .'s support system .

According to Zurek the committee spent a lot of time discussing Woodcrest , because it is a freshmen dorm . The members want to make it a more positive experience . One of the m ain suggestions for Woodcrest was to have two resident assistants on each floor.

Director of Resident Life Gus Nicolett i commented , " We liked tha t sug gesti on and are going to implement it .

The two altern at es , who were simpl y told they would be on st aff, will now be come the ext ra R.A.'s on the firs t and sec ond floors of Woodcr est. ·•

'' As for parietals ,'' Zurek said , '' the problem is that in the ' Resident Life Handbook ' there is no explanation of what the purpose is behind the parietals . I think we first have to decide what the goals of parietals are and then see if the present parietal policies achieve these goals ."

One other major point made in the report to Currie was that the committee felt that freshmen orientation is a very important part of the college .

They also felt that this year ' s orientation was very weak . " The upcoming orientation ," explained Zurek , " should help freshmen

Housing

deal with tripling problems . For instance , the y could show them ex amples of successful triples. " Citing the " Resident Life Handbook for 1982-83" Zurek concluded that " We agree with , ' ... Learning at Cabrini College is not limited to time spent in a classroom . Learning takes place also in the resident hall settirtg .

Resident students are challenged to seek and discover their own potential and also to develop a sense of com munity ...

"We have tried to make suggestions that will foster better 'programs and activities '.''

of declining freshmen classes in the Northeast part of the country.

Despite this, Nicoletti said , " We started looking at contingency plans for off-campus housing as early as January. For example, we started gathering information for students on available apartments in the area and looked into the possibility of housing at Eastern College.

Nicolettf added , " I knew early in April that we had filled our housing quoa , and I let admissions know about it immediately. " . Willard , however , said that this was not the case . " I was told only two weeks ago (mid April ) by Gus that 'it looks like the housing is all filled up '.'' Willa r d went on to say that ear lier in the semester , '' Gus ne ver gav e me clea r project ions on t he housi ng spa ce situa tio n." " The bas ic r esp onse would alw ay s

be that we would have to wait and see , Gus saying that he did not know who was coming back or not, " Willard said.

When asked by a student at the April 13residency meeting why hasn 't Cabrini built a new dorm, Currie said , "The main problem is money . It cost very roughly $9,500 to $10,000 per bed.' ' She added , however , that a new dorm is in the planning . " I expect to see a new dorm on campus by the beginning of 1985. That may be a little optimistic on my part however .''

When asked if she thought the res idency meeting was effective Baltas said , " I felt the students ' questions were answered in so fa r as the in, formation was a vailable . When Sr .

Eileen didn 't hav e infor mation she indicated this. The reacti ons from th e st uden ts indicated that t heir que stions had been answered."

LOGUITUA-FAIOAV. MAY 6 19B3 6 Concern of copyright .laws SGA concludes elections spreading among colleges 1

by Tom Schultz If you or your professors are using the photocopying machines in the library or in the faculty secretaries office, you may have been breaking federal copyright laws .

Near many photocopying machines there are signs warning peQple against copying some printed materials . The signs generally begin with " Warning " or " Restriction. " The signs state what can and cannot be photocopied legally . They tell the users that there is a fine up to $10,000 and a jail sentence up to a year in jail.

Very few people are aware of the consequences of illegal photocopying.

Only law professors and a few informed copy center officials at some universities are informed of the penalties. The warnings signs seem to go unnoticed .

Many people who use photocopiers continue to do so regularly without any knowledge of the implications of the federal copyright laws. Word is beginning to spread that a photocopied handboo~ by a professor or a photocopy of a chapter from a rare textbook by a student could be incriminating evidence in a federal court.

According to recent Phladelphia Inquirer, photocopying litigation has many colleges worried .

Concern is spreading among colleges and universities because a lawsuit filed last November by the American Association of Publishers (AAP) against New York University , nine of its professors and a " copy shop " near NYU'S campus. .

The AAP sued NYU for illegal copyright infringement in photocopying large portions of books, journals and other publications that were protected by copyright law .

Because the university failed to obtain permission from the publishers or to pay royalties to the publication 's authors, the professors "massively infringed " on the copyright law and should have to pay thousands of dollars in royalties. Some of the publi cation's authors included Truman Capote and Watergate reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein .

The copyright law, under its 1976 revised version, is intended to protect

the rights of authors, writers, musicians and others whose work is sold to the public. Most films, books, magazines, record albums and TV shows are under copyright and cannot be duplicated or reused without the permission of the copyright owner or its publisher.

All eyes are on this NYU suit as a pr,c : dent setting matter to see

by Lori Lyn Smith Have you registered to vote yet?

Well, the class elections at Cabrini College are scheduled for April 25 and you don't have to register . All you do is vote by signing a ballot and signing your name on another sheet to help keep voting control.

The election committee, volunteers who help control the voting, will run the election on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday during the week of April 25. Elections will be held in the cafeteria during lunch .

So far, Sulamon Allyn, senior , Robin Larkins, sophomore and newly elected president of SGA , and Maria Hunsberger, sophomore and newly elected vice president of SGA are acting as the election committee .

All candidates must receive 51 percent majority votes to be eligible to win. If no one receives 51 percent , a run-off will be held the following week . Then , candidates win by plurality .

Accordng to Allyn, no one seems to want to run for office. " In both classes,there are students running unopposed ,'' Allyn said .

Mary Beth Grugan, vice presi dent of Ute senior class, said , " The person running for this office must have good leadership qualities just as the president. '' Mike Hawley wants to keep it all together . "I'm running for senior class president so I can keep the class united as a big group," Hawley said. "I think I've done just that as president of the junior class with the help of the others ."

The candidates for the junior class officers are Gerard Lennon, president ; Patty Hinke, vice president , Anita Carroll and Lori DiMeglio, secretary , and Mike Garrison and Lisa Schaffer, treas urer . No one is running for com muter representative .¡ The senior class candidates are Mike Mawley , president ; Mary Konen, vice president ; Kathy Lyons and Janet Wilson, secretary , and Dave Pilla and Marie Hoffman , treasurer. Patty Richardson is running for commuter representative .

The last day to vote is Thursda y, April 28. The winners will be announced on that day at dinner .

future use of photocopiers . It is an understanding that if a professor copies material for an educational , non-profit basis , that use is allowed within the " fair use " portion of the copyright law guidelines .

In some cases, materials can be copied under the "fair use " doctrine .

The doctrine states that copyright materials may be used for teaching , news reporting, scholarsh ip, research and other non-competitive uses . However , what constitutes " fair use " is subject to interpretation .

The "fair use " photocopying provision allows professors to provide a wider range of subject matter for college students without creating outrageous expenses for students .

policy in certain dorms .

As chairperson of a residency review committe e, Baltas feels th at steps are being taken to safeguard the program. Baltas stated, " Many hours have been spent as chairperson oft.he residenc y review committee as well as in the interviews for resident assistants . It is something that is taken very seriously .''

A Loquitur survey conducted this year showed that 84 percen t of the students living on campus found social life on campus lacking . Baltas has seen many attempts to provide social events on campus fail. " This seems to be a problem, no matter who sponsors the activity, " Baltas stated . '' I believe our strict alcohol policy is a major factor. It causes students who live fairly close to school to prefer to go home for the weekend. " As president of the college, Currie

has traveled to Washington , D.C., Harrisburg , New York , and area meetings . On these trips she ¡learned about various of college concerns such as organization , lobbying, finances , and future development . She wrote , " What I' ve learned is that all colleges have similar problems and Cabrini is doing well in meeting them ."

In keeping contact with students Currie has not been as successful as she would like . "Maybe I've got unreal expectations in this area ," she stated. On the other hand, Baltas feels that she gets a good amount of contact with students . She accomplishes this not only in her office , but by participating in student activities where stu dents are having fun.

Currie commented that she had to make adjustments in trying to meet people 's expectations of the role of the president. " Many people have different expectations ," she stated .

S.A.C. works to clarify acade-mic â&#x20AC;˘issues

by Robyn Williams

Not many people are aware of the S.A.C., what it stands for and whatit does . Well, the S.A.C. is the Student Academic Council. It is much like the academic council that the faculty members havEt but it is run by students. The council acts as a liaison between the students and the faculty members to deal with a variety of academic issues.

S.A.C. has recently rewritten its constitution , but it has not yet been approved . Hopefully, through the constitution , there will be more student representatives on the council. Another change that would be a result of the new constitution would be the process of appointment to the council. As it stands, students are appointed by the

chairperson of the department that they will be representing . If the constitution is approved, students that are interested in representing a department will apply to the chairperson of that department for the position. The new constitution will also provide more offices for the council. There are now only two offices, president and secretary, held by Maria Newsome and Jamie Miller respectively.

There are now sixteen students on the council : five seniors , five juniors , five sophomores and one freshman .

Each student represents one department. If a student is having difficulties with a faculty member, the S.A.C. is there to help . Instead of the student having to go to the academic dean or the department chairperson

with the problem, the S.A.C. will.

With this type of arrangement , certain guidelines might be set to keep a certain type of problem from occurring again .

Many students have complained that some of their instructors were not clear on course requirements and assignment due dates . Through the S.A.C., faculty members were re minded that these aspects must be clearly explained to the students , either verbally or in the class syllabus .

The S.A.C. is partially responsible for the newly formed curriculum committee . Started in September, the committee consists of various faculty members and two S.A.C. members.

The committee is presently working on developing a model of education .

The council realizes that not many students are aware of the services that they offer. They plan to include a description of the council in the orien tation folders of the incoming freshmen. This way the new students will know that there is someone there when they experience academic prob lems. Another way that the S.A.C. plans to publicize themselves is by inviting everyone to one of their meetings .

So, if you are experiencing an academic problem that you need help with or if you would just like to learn more about the S.A.C., go to one of the meetings. They are held on Mondays at 4:45 p.m . in the S:G.A. office as scheduled on the calendar .

Mark Duchesne: 'Will and determination' problems in life we have, we can always make an honest effort to overcome those problems . He had will, determination and endurance ."

Casazza added, "He has inspired me. When I feel losers limp coming on and feel like giving myself an excuse to give up while I'm running, I'll think of Mark and his determination and courage.''

by Brian Jensen

My original assignment for this article was to do a story on the benefit concert that took place a few weeks ago for Mark Duchesne, a freshman Cabrini student who was very sick in the hospital from cancer of the brain . Two weeks ago yesterday, the campus received word that Duchesne had died from his illness on April 20, 1983at the age of 18. .

Mark Christopher Duchesne , a prelaw /history major who began his college career at Cabrini last September and who ran for the Cabrini Cross Country team, had gone home early this semester complaining of an upset stomach and having difficulty writing with his right hand.

Soon, news came from his home in Bethesda, Maryland tpat Duchesne was tested and found to have a tumor on the lower left side of his brain.

Earlier in his life, Duchesne had suffered from similar cancerous problems which had required surgery .

Many prayer vigils were held on campus to pray that God would watch over Mark through his difficult illness . The women of Woodcrest organized a benefit concert featuring Retrospect , a band which generously offered their services and donated their earnings to the benefit.

According to Colleen Bolte, temporary social activities director and resident manager of 路 Woodcrest, the benefit held on Saturday, April 16 raised about one thousand dollars to be given to the Duchesne family . Bolte commented that "the support forlhe benefit has been phenomenal."

Having spoken to Mrs. Duchesne, Bolte commented that she was "floored" by the generosity exemplified by Cabrini College for her son.

Several members of the Cabrini Community , including many of the men who live in Counsel Hall where Duchesne had resided , traveled to Bethesda two weekends ago for the funeral services . Several of the men of Counsel acted as pallbearers during the funeral mass.

Mary Mulligan , campus nurse, had hen keep ing in touch with the Duchesne family during

"I have done my best in the race,. I have run the lull distance, and I have kept the laith. And now there is waiting lor me the prize which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that day."

r Mark Duche1ne (1984-1983) , posed for this picture last fall with fellow members of the cross country team. (Photo by Mark Magn_er) \

Mark's illness. Mulligan, the campus ministry group, and other administratos also attended the funeral services.

"Mark's family was very gratified and touched by the interest and love that everyone at Cabrini has shown for Mark," Mulligan said.

Many at Cabrini will recall that Duchesne was a member of the Cross Country team. Duchesne also ran in high school cross country despite his slight build for a person his age , a physical condition attributed to his previous battle with cancer .

Said his teammate, Tony Casazza, " We can all take Mark 路as an example that no matter _what

Duchesne was buried with a cross country pin on his lapel.

The priest who officiated the Mass and funeral services , referred to the words of St. Paul, probably keeping in mind Mark 's determination as a runner : " I ha ve done my best in the race , I have run the full distance , and I have kept the faith . And now there is waiting for me the prize of victor y awarded for a righteous life , the prize which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day." Loquitur and the entire Cabrini Commun ity expresses its sorrow to the Duchesne famil y and wil keep Mark in our pra yers . May he rest in peace.

Relationships

Parents, students need one-to-one relationship The second part ol a two-part article on parent-student relationships.

by Sandra McNamara "I get along great with my parents, because we work as a team," states one Cabrini sudent . Another com ments, "All I do is fight with my parents and I can 't understand it, because we always got along before ."

Two views and very valid statements concerning how parents and their children relate .

In the transitional stages of developoment for adolescents many questions and fears arise. Many times adolescents are not prepared for these questions and fears and therefore tend to isolate themselves. Parents see this isolation as a 路 direct attack upon their "parentness" and also begin to fight back.

Before it is realized there is a gap of communication between parents and

their adolescent , conflict occurs .

It isn 't a simple thing just to say that parents should understand their children better and that children should act with more respect towards their parents.

In order for the parent-adolescent relationship to work during this time two things must be incorporated into the relationship : 1. A certin amount of personal identity must be achieved on the part of the adolescent 2. Maintaining a bond of affection and respect for each other

As many times as not , parents without realizing it , retard development, even though they may not show regret over losing their "baby. " An interesting fact lies in the belief in the readiness for adulthood . It is said that readiness for adulthood comes about two years later than the adolescent claims and about two years before parents will admit it.

cent to share experiences with parents because of the fact that they are so much older . Many times children seem to forget that their parents were young also.

Pressures often increase in the parent-adolescent relationship when the adolescent goes off to college . Many times a parent ' s expectations play a major role in the decision of the adolescent to attend college. When a parent 's expectations are not met, pressures are placed upon the adolescent. For the adolescent who is aleady questioning values and beliefs this can become a difficult time.

Parents also are very eager for their adolescents to grow up. But although parents urge the young person towards adulthood, they often act as though his reaching the adult age is still in the far-off future and not something to rush into.

It is essential that a one-to-one relationship is established before the adolescent goes off to college. This will allow for much more give and take on the parts of the parents and adolescent, and allow smQother sailing.

It becomes difficult for an adoles-

"I have a one-to-

one relationship with my parents. I am able to tell them anything and they have total trust in me."

Jeanette Epifano, freshman, states, "I have a one to one relationship with my parents . I am able to tell them anything and they have total trust in me. They see me as a young adult. " In times that do change as quickly as ours, there is bound to be conflicts and gaps between generations which can be exemplified in a rem 路ark made by one Cabrini student who turned to her mother the day of the Sophomore/Senior and stated, "Did they have parties like this when you were young?"

'Academic Off ice can't function without her'

by M. Anne Torone

I

Writing an article about Jo Harris Brenner, assistant dean for academic administration, seemed overwhelming . The assimilation of the vast list of her duties and responsibilities leaves one in wonder. It might very well take five talented individuals to tackle a position which was created especially for her in September of 1982.

"The Academic Office just couldn't function without her," Dr. Joseph Romano, vice president for academic affairs, said. "Her dedication, initiative, industry and positive attitude for the last 15 years have made her indispensible to Cabrini College."

Brenner holds two degrees ·in administration: a bachelor's degree from the University of Kentucky and a Master's from Penn State University.

Basically, Brenner is responsible for administration of non-curricular academic affairs. This includes the supervision and recording of all academic payroll, the communication of academic policies, the office's budget and purchases.

Much of Brenner's time is spent coordinating activities such as academic ceremonies, awards and honors to faculty, staff and students, and orientation.

Her abilities to research, assemble and organize data and to prepare comprehensive reports are evident in the Academic Handbook, the Annual Academic Report for the Board of Trustees, and the academic sections of the college catalog .

One of her most significant accomplishments was the formation of a Personnel Policies Committee of which she was also chairperson .

"It took us two years and 'a million' meetings to prepare the Personnel Policies Manual based on a

national model," she said . These policies were effective July 1, 1982.and the salary schedules will go into effect this July .

Included in the manual of 80 pages are employment forms, which were designed by Brenner and the committee and descriptive procedures for every employment category.

In addition, a 35-page Orientation Handbook for Ell)ployees was prepared by this committee . " Before this was written, all we had was a one- or two-page handout, " Brenner said . '' This was a mammoth job, and another one of her orchestrations, " Romano said.

All academic support programs and cultural programs are assisted by Brenner in accordance with the tradition of the academic office, according to Romano. This includes faculty-student advising program, which must be updated yearly ; the artistin-residence program, which was originally initiated by former Dean Dorothy Brown in 1977; professional artists, in cooperation with the department heads; and the purchase and maintenance of music instruments .

This part of her job is particularly enjoyable to Brenner , who attends all cultural events on campus. She commented that she feels fortunate to have so many common interests with her husband, Walter , in particular a love for the arts, archeology and anthropology . They have traveled extensively , attracted by these types of activities. Their next trip will be to the Galapagos Islands.

It is obvious, as Brenner spoke, that she enjoys her work. "It's a pleasure to work with intelligent , creative , motivated and caring people,"..she said. " One problem, however, is the need for more support staff . We have seen tremendous growth in the last five years . You can 't just keep increasing faculty and students without adding proper staff to go along with it."

If an indicator of the need for further expansion is necessary , Brenner's report of the 130new students who attended the first Orientation along with their parents on April 23 should do.

Dane Linn does the best he can

by Rita McKelvey

A face that is extremely known around Cabrini and will long be remembered is that of Dane Linn senior, SGA president, Mother Ursula award winner , and recently elected Who 's Who recipient, among other character traits.

Linn reflects on his Who's Who award in a modest manner. "I didn't expect

PERSONALITY to make Who 's Who," said Linn. "I've done a lot and a lot of people said I was going to get it, but I didn't think so."

Linn was given the award for his outstanding service to Cabrini.

Linn has been a very active person at Cabrini. Here are some of the activities he has been involved in. He was vice president of his freshmen class, vice president of his sophomore class, social activities chairperson in 1981, a team leader for two years, an organizer for the 25th anniversary block party, a member of the council of college affairs, member of campus ministry, member of Kappa Sigma Omega since his sophomore year, member of the traffic committee, member of the master planning committee , manager of the Wigwam for two years, and president of SGA since 1981.

If all of those activities have made you windless, hold on, there is more .

Linn has also received the Cabrini Service and Leadership award three times and received the Mother Ursula award, which is an award presented

to a senior who has contributed a lot to the school.

Linn says he was happy to get Jf' ho 's Who because he didn 't think all of his works would oe recognized. He was especially pleased that both his peers and administrators recognized his achievements.

Linn says that contrary to his participation in college activities, he was not as active in high school. "I was not involved in high school. When I came here, it was a whole new atmosphere.

I was able to portray a new image and I took the advantage. When I became vice president of my freshmen class, one thing led to another,'' Linn said.

Linn not only has extracurricular activities to contend with, he also has his classes, his student teaching and finally a part-time job at Bloomingdales .

How does Linn make time for all of his activities and his classes? Linn remarks, "I do the best I can. I have trouble sometimes not knowing when Dane needs time for himself. I have a lot of important things to do and have to take time out for me."

Linn remarked that his activities at. school have a correlation with his field of special and elementary education .

'•My activities have helped me to be able to be a leader . They have helped me to be able to contribute my opinion and be a very good organizer. With kids, I would be a very good listener , because I've had to listen to many people in my role on campus. I see both sides to a story, so I would understand the student ,' ' Linn said.

Linn said that he likes teaching and

chose the field because he wants to be happy in his job . He said that the smallest amount of his students ' success in academics makes him feel good.

Linn added that he would like to have a job, an apartment, and someone special in his ideal life. He would

Linn remarked that while at Cabrini he has met very giving people . " I've met very giving people who don't expect something in return " Linn said . " They are true friends a~d there is nothing better than true friends .·•

SGA-LDGUE

Linn extends thanks and reflects on iob To SGA members and the campus community , As the year and many other things come to an end I also find that my term as student government president has come to an end .

Upon leaving the office as SGA president I feel that it is only appropriate to say a few words.

I would like to begin by thnking you, the students, for electing me to two terms as president of the SGA. Without having your backing I would have never had the chance to take part in the many facets that my position has enabled me to participate in . When taking part in the various aspects of the college I have tried my best to stick up for the students.

I also had a great time serving the students in my first term and therefore , I sought the opportunity to run for another term .

Also, I would like to thank all of the student government members who have been at my side all year . I would not only like to thank the current SGA members but also all of the other people who have been involved in the SGA whether it be directly or indirectly. I especially thank all those who truly understood my position and the reasons for my lack of enthusiasm while in office .

This letter would not be complete without saying a special thanks to Sulamon Allyn for carrying more responsibilities than were ex pected of him , particularly for picking up in the areas that I lacked in. Lastly , thanks Jeff , Peg, Patty, Larry , Terry and Girard for all of your true dedication .

In closing , I just want to mention that I've had a great time serving as the student government president. Everything that I did was truly done n the interest of the students .

Now, it's in the hands of Robin Larkins and I wish her and the new student government executive board the best of luck . Knowing Robin Larkins very well, I have the best of faith in her and her ability to lead the SGA in all the facets that it reaches into .

Thank you again to all of those who have helped me gain the experience as a leader but more importantly to those who have helped me grow as a person .

Sincerely , Dane Linn SGA President

In May , we at Cabrini will be saying good-bye to man y fine peo ple. Peggy Heffernan , social activities chairperson for the Student Government Association , is one of them .

The social activities chairperson is responsible for organizing and running se veral large events during the school year . Heffernan ran the Christmas dance, the SGA com mittee 's ¡2sth Anniversary Block Party and Homecoming , among other events.

Heffernan also set up two successful Squash nights at Berwyn Squash Club . Both students and faculty attended . "It was good because the students got to see the faculty do more than just teach, " Heffernan said .

Heffernan also helped rewrite the SGA Constitution . "The constitution was too vague before , so it was decided that it should be rewritten to make it more detailed ," Heffernan said .

Heffernan also organizes other clubs and helps out with arranging events for the weekends .

"This year we haven't really been able to do all that much, although we did start a regular movie presentation, " Heffernan said.

The movie presentation features popular movies shown every Saturday night in the Widener Center lecture hall .

Heffernan is an elementary and special education major and is curently student teaching at Paxon

Hollow Junior High . She has previously taught at Old Forge School , a school for the physically handicapped , and Valley Forge Elementar y School , where she worked with the kindergarten classes .

She always gave more than 100 percent even when every one else didn 't seem interested ,'' Hundermark said . " She "s ver y interested in her major and puts a lot of effort into her schoolwork. She 's always on top of things . Even when she had no cooperation from people , she still got the job done ."

Dane Linn , SGA president , has worked with Heffernan since their sophomore year. Heffernan was treasurer of the junior class when Linn was president.

Last year at the block party , Heffernan helped on the committee by setting up all the booths in the different dorms . She also worked on the events for Spring weekend and the road rally, which involved competition between the classes .

"When Peggy takes on a responsibility she gets the job done, '' Linn said. " She is constantly coming up with new and innovative ideas .

"Peggy isn't the kind of person who takes on a position just for the title ," Linn said. " She 's conscientious and really does her work well ."

Picnicking: Everything· except ants allowed ,>

by Francine Kuterbach

Picnics evolved gradually from a contribution by many hands to the idea that one person would cook the food and everyone would arrive and expect the food and games to be prepared.

Craigie said, "Picnics were a type of social entertainment in which each member contributed his share."

The concept of picnicking that we know today soon followed. "Picnicking came to mean something frivolous and playful. They were held in impromptu settings and relaxed manners were tolerated," added Craigie.

Types of picnics that Craigie men tioned were Sunday School, 4th of July, and grange picnics, where farmers would gather to discuss crop rotation and farming-related subjects. In business-related picnics, em.ployers would give their employees a day off to mingle with their co-workers.

r'

Imagine a sunny. day, a picturesque setting, lots of food and, of course, a frisbee. Invite about 20 people, 2,000 ants, and now you have a picnic.

Surprisingly enough, the art of picnicking hasn't always been this way.

In fact, according to Carter W. Craigie, professor of social science, picnics were formerly a type of intellectual gathering.

Craigie, who has devoted a major portion of his dissertation to picnics, said the first picnics were held in Europe in the 1700's.

In those days, invitations were issued and formal dress was the custom.

When asked the difference between a picnic and a party, Craigie replied, '' A picnic is out of doors, manners are relaxed, you never use your best china, and a party is more romantic - a jug of wine and thou. " Another type of picnic was the family reunion, which was usually held once a year. Craigie explained, "For

Valerie Autodore, sophomore, likes to picnic on the beach in the summer.

She and her friends have a picnic to mark the beginning and end of the In his study, Craigie found that the summer every year. "Everyone people who do the work and preparabakes something," Autodore said. tion find the picnic to be a "stressful " The guys play football, the girls play event." He also mentioned that wom"- with frisbees and we all have a lot of en could be segregated because either fun." they choose to be or because the men go off and play games. Craigie added: ''This seems to be breaking down in modern times."

CAMPUS GUICKI

Cabrini students find picnicking a favorite pasttime. A popular place in the area is Valley Forge National Historical Park .. According to a spokeswoman at the Visitors' Center, people come from all over the country to see the park and enjoy the popular picnic areas.

Jeanne Daly, freshman, said that she and her eight brothers and sisters pile into two cars and go to Valley Forge National Park every 4th of July. She said, "We eat a lot and have a great time. "

by Jeanne Hoepfl

The librarians in Holy Spirit Library have hopes for the development of the 'potential of the library. John Heiberger, vice president for development aiid public relations, is applying for grants to make their dreams a reality .

"It is premature to say that we are going to see change in the library in September, because it could take between six months and two years to get the money," Heiberger said. "But we'll keep submitting proposals to foundations until we do. Right now we have a grant application submitted for $100,000 to be used for the library."

The grant that is pending is for capital improvements only, according to Muriel Clouser, technical services librarian.

"We do need to build up the collection,'' Clouser said. ''If we expand the collection into the basement, we will have more room for reference materials."

This year the library concentrated on building up the collection of books in the areas of business administration, community agency management, fine arts , master of education and social work, according to Ruth Richardson, technical services librarian.

"We are . also on a computerized inter-library loan system, and we can locate mat~rial all over the country ,'' Clouser said.

Eddie's· beaming smile / leaving Cabrini campus

by Karyn Rinaldi When you hear the name "Eddie" who do you think of? The infamous Eddie McGee, no doubt. He is one of the most popular maintenance workers on Cabrini's campus.

Eddie is 24 years old and has been working for Cabrini over the past three years . He has recently graduated from Don Guanella and has resided at a group home which is run by Don Guanella for the past nine years.

It is really amazing to.find a person who constantly has a happy grin on his face and always appears to be in a good mood-even on Monday mornings when everyone else •·feels like crawling back into bed . Eddie has the type of personality that is refreshing and he always has something nice to say that can lift your spirits and make you feel comfortable. · The things that he enjoys most at the college are the people he runs across every day who he refers to as his true friends, but most of all he likes the girls. A favorite friend and co-worker of Eddie 's is Rudy Pizzuto .

"He works with me, tells me what to do, and helps me out," said McGee. Unfortunately, this is the last year Eddie will be working on the campus .

Next year, he plans to be living in Havertown and will be working at Elwin in Media, Pa. He will most definitely be back , though, to visit his

friends at Cabrini.

Eddie's job is in the sanitation department with maintenance. He feels that it is interesting because it has enabled him to meet many people, he gets a monthly income and he is able to save some money through banking.

As a few favorite hobbies , McGee enjoys sports- mostly basketball . He also enjoys good movies, concerts and listening to music. (Van Halen is his favorite rock group .) His favorite pro fessional teams -are Phladelphia's only- the Eagles, '76ers and Phillies.

His good buddy, Rudy, will miss Eddie when he leaves, especially "his happy, smiling face and his friendliness ."

According to Mike Caranfa, head of the maintenance department , Eddie is a fine worker who does routine assignments . Each week he is assigned to various jobs including simple natured things . ''I'll miss his sparkling personality ," said Caranfa , "He always has a story to tell, he's always cheerful, and always the first to shake your hand."

The maintenance workers are sorry to see Eddie go, but they really believe that this transfer is a step up for him and will provide better living arrangements for him. "He's part of the crew," Caranfa said, " and we're glad for him .

Celebrate

the week together

Remember back when you were a senior in high school. What was the most memorable event . The football games, bus rides home or was it perhaps senior week .

Senior week in high school was in many ways more important than graduation itself. It was a time (usually spent in Wildwood or the shore) to say goodbye to friends and have one last fling before starting a summer job or college.

This year Cabrini will behaving its own senior week. The event, which has been organized by Karen Kelly and Kathy Masino really has one main purpose . Kelly states , " Sr. Eileen and I, as well as Kathy , thought we needed something to keep our minds off of everything, as well as celebrate the last week together. " Events during the week are as follows: Tuesday night: A last goodbye to the Wayne Tavern Wednesday: Shore Trip Thursday: Barbecue and Senior awards banquet ,, Friday: A visit to the 6 T Bar in South Philadelphia Saturday: Clam Bake Sunday: Graduation

·Sports Extra Athletic directors 'seem ·generally satisfied .

by Brian P. Jensen

John Dzik, men's athletic director, and Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director recently gave their overview of the 1982-83 academic year in sports at Cabrini College. In men's sports, Dzik discussed his thoughts on the cross country, soccer and basketball teams, while GOodwin expressed her ideas on the women's field hockey, volfeyball, basketball ~and softball.

Briefly, the following is a listing of how the respective athletic directors viewed their sports programs; John Dzik said that he was "still disappointed that Cabrini has not firmly established an adequate cross country program at the school." Next year, Dzik is addressing this problem by hiring a new coach whom he hopes "will put the program , on solid ground." "If the students would get

behind it, I' m sure we would have a solid program," Dzik said.

On men's soccer, Dzik said that he was "very pleased" with their past season noting that it was the first time that Cabrini's soccer team qualified for post season play. Dzik said that coach Will Langton had established a ..'.'starting ground" and pointed out that "the quality of players has improved steadily" over the past few years. "We're moving in a positive direction," Dzik said.

Concerning men's basketball, Dzik said he ended the season with "mixed emotions" · noting a "difference in feelings as John Dzik the athletic director and John Dzik the team coach ." "As athletic director it was a very successful year . We dominated our division and received excellent support for our game at the P alestra," Dzik said .

Dzik's feelings were different looking at the season from a coach's perspective. "Our successful season ended on a disappointing note because I truly believed we would have gone to the finals in Kansas City. I only remember the last game we played," Dzik said.

Dzik added, "Next year we have one goal-to go to Kansas City. I plan· to dedicate myself to that goal and doubt I will be disappointed next year."

In women's field hockey, Helen Goodwin gave her impressions on the team's season. "They played very well together this year as a team.

Each year the program has greatly improved and I see continued improvement for next year," Goodwin said.

Goodwin described the Lady Cavaliers ' volleyball team as "ex-

cellent." "With their 18 and 4 record I see much improvement," Goodwin said. Goodwin attributed much of this to the new coach Jerry Szabo who she said was "a good recruiter and an excellent coach." ''I absolutely see all good things for that team in the future," Goodwin said.

For women's basketball Goodwin also mentioned the theme of continued improvement. "I see improvement coming in basketball too," Goodwin said. Goodwin pointed out that Mike Tenaglia will continue to coach the team next year.

The team finished its season with a five in six record. Co-captains Danny Ross and Jeff Brun , seniors, believe that their season went so well because the team worked well together, and they had confidence in their teammates.

cont_inued from page 14 In women's softball, Goodwin said that the Cabrini program "is still low key." "We don't recruit, but our schedule is being upgraded and we will have more teams in our league next year. Goodwin added that "Mike Tenaglia is a good softball coach.''

In general, Goodwin thought that "We have a very good program for the women and we will be building next year by adding a tennis team to the program." "Being that we have good coaches and we have a women's sport for every season, I am generally satisfied," Goodwin said.

Cavalier basketball

teams highlight fall sports

by Karyn Rinaldi The women's basketball team endured a rough 82-83season. They were confronted with many challenging games that did not always turn out for the best. The one thing that kept them together was their team spirit and good sportsmanship.

One of the highlights of the season was participating in competitive tournaments. The Lady Cavs placed fourth in the Poinsettia Tournament played at Scranton University, and came in third place in the Immaculata Tournament held at lmmaculata College.

The team captains were both seniors, Kate Connolly and Terri Leinenbach. Two outstanding athletes on the team were: Debbie Harvey, senior, and Eileen Herbig, sophomore. \ffifft"!T~ Lady Cavalier Michele Tarbotten prepares for competition as she develops her bas.ketball talents on the court.

The Cavaliers have a lot to look back on and feel good about. This was their ,econd year of competing in post t-'}h ,I'.\.a-__ _., season competition. This was also the . third year that the Cavaliers won the Keystone Athletic Cnference Championship. Another thing that the "Cavs" will not soon forget, is their win over Stockton State at the Palestra.

The Cavaliers will be joining the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, nicknamed the "Little Five." As if tqat is not enough to look forward to, the Cavaliers will tie playing iri ·.he National Catholic Championshit>s, scheduled for the Cavaliers Dodie Watkins, 32, and Tom first week in J anmtry of 1984. The McGowan, 33, are quick to defend the championships will be held in Cavalier record as tl;ley live in a combined effort block the shot of their opponent. (Photo Dubuque , Iowa.

Men's Athletic Director John Dzik is currently searching for two coaches to fill the vacancies made by the resignations of soccer coach Will Langton and cross country coach Larry Larson.

The reasons Dzik gave for Langton's resignation were, "Personal reasons related to a possible relocation from this area. His leaving was by his own choice," Dzik said.

hand, according to Dzik, the soccer program already has a strong base.

With the soccer program being on stable ground, Dzik set up the committee to select the new coach. "The committee consists of faculty members, administrators and students who have an interest in Cabrini athletics," Dzik said. "I will weed through the resumes and narrow it down to about five candidates for the committee to interview," Dzik said.

"The committee will then recommend the person to me who they feel is best qualified for the position . I will evaluate their recommendation and unless I can show just cause as to why this person should not be selected I will recommend to Dr. Romano (academic dean) that this person be hired.

"Cross country will not be affected because we do not recruit for the sport," Dzik said. "Soccer will not be affected because Loup (Langton) has continued to recruit even though he is not coming back and I have taken a more active role in recruiting for soccer during this interim time."

Smooth season for softball

by John McQueen

It has taken the ladies softball team a while to get on track, but now that the Lady Cavs have tied together some loose ends things are rolling along smooth.

So far this season the Lady Cavs have racked up 5 wins, while only dropping 2 losses. The wins come from a 8-4 victory over Immaculata, with all the Ldy Cavs playing well. A 5-2 victory over league rival Chestnut Hill, in whic -Cabr~i jumped out to an early lead. Against Beaver College the ½ady Cavs did not declare the victory until the last inning and, final hit by sophomore Patty Hinke. With the game tied 9-9 in the bottom of the 7th and bases loaded, Hinke blasted a base hit needed to sew up a 10-9 victory for Cabrini. The Lady Cavs' latest victim was nearby rival Rosemont College where the Lady Cavs proved that they had things all together so much they claimed a 10-8 victory.

Mike Tenaglia, coach of the Lady Cavs feels that defense is the team's strongest asset, while admitting his

outfield is not very strong. "At this time I feel that defense is our strongest point, while our weakest point is our speed and aggressiveness," said Tenaglia. Another problem for the Lady Cavs has been weather, with two games cancelled and most of the others being played in considerable cool temperatures.

Patty Hinke, third base person, thinks the team has a lot of team spirit and is having a lot of fun.

"Softball this season is really great and the team's morale is really high,'' said Hinke. She also thinks the team has a solid infield, and compliments roommates Eileen Herbig (sophomore) pitching. Hinke feels that inexperience is the team's weakest point.

Hinke feels coach Tenaglia does a good job relating to the players, and has helped her in certain occasions personally. "We (the team) have learned a lot more technique this year, and this has helped us to become a better team," said Hinke.

We at Loqultur would like to thank all those who have been very supportive in all of our efforts throughout the semester.

Thank you all for making this year a successful one for our publication.

Bishops Arms deter Soviets

Believe in -a

by Maureen Grosso

:,/

Tbe posseHion of nuclear weapons is perhaps one of the most difficult and depressing realities confronting people today. It 's a controversial reality, too, jts opponents pointing to its threats of massive destruction and death , and its proponents stressing its feasibility and necessity. , In our own country, the leading proponents of nuclear armaments possession reside in our nation's capitol, namely, the Reagan administration. ·· It seems that the real goal of the Reagan administration, however, extends even beyond that of the possession of nuclear weapons, The possession of nuclear weapons merely represents, to them, the ,best way of achieving their underlying goal of actually coercing the Russian leaders into restructuring their society.

President Reagan's Soviet expert, Richard Pipes, even went so far as to say the . Russian leaders "would have to choose between peacefully changing their communist system •.• or going to war."

It appears that the Reagan administration feels it can accomplish this goal by making Russia believe that the United States can start, win, and survive a nuclear war~ Reagan even approved a plan which committed the United sta~s to the idea that a nuclear war can be , won.

T, K. Jones, a deputy under-secretary of defense, stated the United States could recover from an all-out nuclear war in two to four years. Jones said that, "if there are enough shovels to go around, everybody's going to make it ... it's the dirt that does it."

It may be possible that our government has even d1awn up a strategy for engaging in a nuclear war with the intent to win and survive ,. At least one source, Robert Scheer's book, "With Enough Shovels," supports this Ide.a.

In order to convince Russian leaders that the United States cold start, win and survive a nuclear war, the United States must maintain a large, preferably superior, nuclear arsenal. By convincing the public that Russia bas a superior force of nuclear weapons, the Reagan administration draws support for its much-needed nuclear weapons.

It would be unfair · to think of the Reagan administration as nothing but a bunch of war mongers. They simply appear to feel sincere apprehensioa towards Russia's communist society. Their principal objective is merely to change that system to one which they consider less dangerous. The manner in which they feel they can accomplish this is by persuading Russia that the United States could triumph in a nuclear war, and to do this the United States' nuclear ar:senal must be continually maintained.

The Bishops of America have taken a stand on theisne of ndear war. In the hope of guiding the eonsdeaces of AmericanCatholics, the Bishops are in the process of publishlnga letter condemninathe arms race. The Bishops met in a four-day meeting last November to discuss their position. The eouncll was led by J09epb Caflllnal Bernardin of Chicago. Through _debate, they were able to agree on the essence of the letter. Although It bas met with some op~tlott. it is sure to set people thinking about this problem.

The Bishops feel that a multilateral freeie must be attained immediately. Also, all existing weapons should be disarmed. This letter has not been well received by the Reagan admhdstr . atlon, which feels that weapons are needed as a deterrence.

According to the Bishops, the only time deterrence is ... ......_. ls when used as a basis for talks to end the arJpsr11ce,~ feetUuat the ownetshiP of weaponswill lead to their ase.

Arms race hurts econo :::

by Renee Pozzuoli

The consequences of an unlimited nuclear arms race extend beyond threats 9f a nuclear war. The world economy and people dependent on the economy are suffering from the nuclear arms race.

The military burden that the arms race places upon the economy has disastrous social effects .

The military expansion that is so prevalent toda y undermines the growth that is necessary to sustain the population , slows civilian investment and productivity, increases inflation, and widens the gap betwen the poor and the rich.

In 24 countries, food consumption averages 30 to 50 percent above requirements; in 25 countries, the average is 10 to 30 percent below requirements. The number of people in the world who live in extreme poverty may now be as high as seven billion.

World military expenditures are $600billion in a single year . This money could be used for international peace-keeping, education, health, and foreign economic aid. In the world -in 1979, military expenditures were $478billion. International peacekeeping was $244 million, education was $545 billion, foreign economic aid ws $30 billion dollars, and health was $373 billion . In order to reduce the social problems of the world, military expenditure money should be diverted to public expenditures .

The money that is now used for military expenditures could now be used for a wide variety of other purposes. If poverty in the world

;\

could be drastically reduced , this wo reduce the number of children who malnourished that they grow up physic mentally handicapped , if they grow up Another problem that coincides with pove illiteracy. The majority of adults in un developed countries are illiterate. The child in these countries attend only one or two years primary schoo l. This means that these childre lack the basic skills that are needed to improv their own personal lives and to help them function better in the economy as a whole.

The poor of other countries are fleeing their native countries and becoming the slum dwellers in the United States . They come here in search of food and jobs and are a constant reminder of the dehuman conditions which poverty forces upon the afflicted .

If the leaders of countries which spend such vast amounts of money on the military diverted their efforts towards alleviating social problems , there would be much fewer people living with neglect.

The issue of nuclear arms seems very complex and overwhelming to those of us at Cabrini. After all, we are simply students who work day after day at our particular majors in hopes of integrating our studies into a career. Along with this task, we have other important aspects our our life to deal with, like family, friends, and various responsibilities . But these interests lie in the shadow of a nuclear threat. How can we make this issue more relevant for ourselves now? Can we incorporate this issue into our lives at this time?

Any pre-law major should be in- • trigued and concerned with the issue of nuclear arms.

Cabrini: What you can do

by Cathy Lojewski

Upon reading the assortment of material presented on nuclear armaments in this issue, many may be left with a dismal view of the future coupled with a feeling of helplessness. But, keep in mind that the escalation of these nuclear arms did not happen overnight. In fact, it took thirty-seven years to build up the nuclear arsenals that the United States now possesses. However, the rate at which these arsenals are now growing and the increased destructive capabilities, especially in the new generation of nuclear weapons like the MX and cruise missiles, has plunged our country into a mire of tremendous tension from which it finds difficulty in extricating itself. The situation, though, is not hopeless. If the public refuses to support the proposed arms build-up, it would put pressure on the federal government todeal with international conflicts in another way. While the U.S. ntional defense is a legitimate need, its value should not be overestimated . By investing some of the defense dollars in the American people, the U.S. could expand the idea of national defense to include social and economic stability. But, people will have to fight to get this.

Presently, there is a variety of ways in which Americans are doing this, but what, for instance, can students at Cabrini do to oppose nuclear escalation?

Initially, students must educate themselves on the issue. This can be done through writing to Congressmen and Congresswomen to find out their position.

Students can write to various national organizations for more information on the weapons, their effects, the amount of money spent on them, etc. They can also attend various lectures on campus concerning nuclear issues. In the Fall semester, the course "Imperatives for Peace in a Nuclear Age" will be offered that examines the nuclear dilemma within a moral context. For those who wish to take action, Campus Ministry offers the opportunity to participate in activities like the rally for the Nuclear Freeze and the Peace Walk. By voicing their opinions through these various channels, Cabrini students can join with the general public's efforts to halt the fatal arms race and ensure a future for themselves and for those who follow.

Communications majors may be wondering why the people in the communications field are not striving to make sure the general public attains more information about the nuclear issue. The communications people should be using their resources to give each individual in the world an informed opinion. The experts in the communications field are expected to communicate messages to the aver-age person through all forms ofthe mass media. Communications majors should take notice of the nuclear issue because it will be their responsibility to make other people aware of the nuclear problem before it is too late to do anything about it.

Education

by Maureen Grosso

Education - It is the dut y of education majors to have information on nuclear war to pass on to their students . The children of America are aware of the problem and are fearful of it. We must be able to answer their questions and calm their fears the best we can. In our hands we hold the future of America . If peace is to be attained , it may be in the hands of these children .

Another concern is that the funds used to make weapons are cutting into the money for education. Many funds for special education institutions are being lost . We cannot allow for these children to be deprived of the education that the y so desperatel y need .
