Submitted by Lou Klock, social activities chairperson The residents of Cabrini East will be sponsoring an open house for the entire campus body this Sunday, Oct. 30. Starting at 6:30 p.m., there will be room tours and refreshments until 9 p.m. "This is a good opportunity for other students to experience our environment," freshman Anne D' Amico said of the open house. Then the action begins when the residents of Cabrini East host Evening at Cabrini. This time the show will contain a large variety of freshmen acts plus the usual highly "talented" acts from the other residences. Evening at Cabrini is being held at East to provide the entire Cabrini campus the chance to unity and get acquainted with the residents of East and experience the friendly life-style exhibited there.

'This is a good opportunity for other students to experience our environment. '-Anne D'Amico "It is a really exciting idea to meet other Cabrini residents and give them and idea of what it is Ike out here," Allison Shaefer, freshman, said. Transportation by the Cabrini van service will be provided for students so there is no reason to waste this great opportunity to see the new off-campus dorm, socialize with friends and share some good times.

Junior Judy Buck, a Cabrini East resident, said, "I feel it will be a good experience for the residences of Cabrini East as

well as the student body to get an idea of how we are living away from campus and hopefully bring about closer relations between students i~ general. "

Come on out for an interesting and friendly open house and a dynamite Evening at Cabrini .

What is the difference between this year and last year, or from Parents Weekend to Junior/Senior for that matter? First, now we know the laws. Had the District Attorney spoken to us after Junior/Senior, we probably would have held it as we always did. But unfortunately, ignorance is no excuse. The fact remains, that we may have been unwittingly wrong in the past, and would knowingly risk in the future if we continued the traditional practice of this event. Second, in this age of increased awareness and concern over alcohol abuse, particularly college drinking, faw enforcers are clearly cracking down. What was brushed off in the past by college administrators, law enforcers, and busine sses which serve alcoholic beverages , is now a top priority.

Club budgets for the fall semester were issued on Oct. 7, 1983. A committee offive, consisting of the vice presidents of each class and .the SGA treasurer , were responsible for the allocation of funds. A few of the guidelines used for distributing the money were: 1. If the club has less than 10 member s they can receive a maximum of $125. 2. If thi s club did not participate in the organizati on fair in the beginn ing of September, their requested budget will be cut 35 percent before the budget is evaluate d. 3.

We understand that this controversial issue evokes inevitable emotional response from students who consider themselves mature and responsible individuals, who now are victim to the stricter enforcement of laws. While we by no means advocate the abuse of alcohol, we can't help, as a student representative body, to share in the difficulty of accepting the changes before us. Putting our thoughts before our emotions however, we take on the new responsibility of trying to make the best of the situation. Now, more than ever, we need your support . Also, there is a general requisition form in the bookstore for the use of all clubs . When the copier is used, the club name and the user 's initials should be filled out on the form. Stencils are provided by SGA and can be found in the SGA office. Hopefully, by the end of this semester , a guidebook explaining all of these financial and budget policies along with basic guide lnes for being an organization of SGA will be in the possession of all SGA member s and club officers.
