by Sandy Barone Two nationally acclaimed music companies are scheduled to perform in the Cabrini College Mansion. The National Symphony Orchestra will appear this Sunday, Oct. 30 at 3 p.m. and the Opera Company of Philadelphia was scheduled to perform Thursday, Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. Admission is free. According to Daniele A. Perna, director of the little theater, instead of there being a performance of the Opera Company, there will be an "informance ." Perna has said that this will be an informative appearance as well as a demonstration from the artistic director Margaret Everitt and singers from the Opera Company. According to Jan Buzbee, director of public relations, the company produced the world's largest vocal competiion, the Opera Company of Philadelphia/Luciano Pavarotti International Competition. In 1982, the winners sang with Pavarotti in Philadelphia productions of"La Boheme" and "L'Elisir d' Amore." "La Boheme" was shown on Public Broadcasting Service. It received the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences "Emmy" award. "This would be an exciting evening," Perna said. "If people haven't been exposed to opera, this is a good opportunity to meet these professional people in your own back yard ." According to Buzbee, Everitt, who will be leading the -program at Cabrini, is the youngest woman manager of a major opera company. Adeline Bethany, chairperson of the fine arts department, will share in hosting the Opera Company. A reception for the artists and guests will be held after the recital. The National Symphony Orchestra is also known by the name of"Euterpe Chamber Players." The players include, William Stick, violin ; William Foster, viola; Frederick Zenone, violoncello; and Arlene Portney, piano . According to Jo Harris Brenner, Assistant Dean , works by Mozart , Ernst von Dohnanyi, and Robert Schuman will be performed by the three members of the National Symphony Orchestra and Arlene Portney. There will be an 'informance,' an informative appearance as well as a demonstration from the artistic director Margaret Everitt and singers form the Opera Company.-Dan Perna Arlene Portney holds degrees from Curtis , Julliard, and a doctorate from Yale University . Portney was the first woman to win first prize in a major international competition, the Prix Bercasa . · Willaim Steck earned degrees from Curtis and Philadelphia Musical Academy, as well as from the University of Texas-Austin.

Science majors:
by Susan Baj Most students cringe at the very thought of Biological Principles or Environmental Science. They panic at any mention , of test and spend hours cramming for a quiz. After the science requirements are fulfilled, these students vow never to set foot in a lab or think about cell walls again. There are, however, members of our campus who actually relish the idea of labs and stacks of chemistry books.
These are the science majors and they really do love all the books and even plan their jobs and various other work experiences around a science-related field.
'The science courses offered at Cabrini should definitely be tied in with outside experience to make them more effective.' - Robin Jackson.
Science majors are required to study such subjects as viro logy, embryology, physics and genetics. One must admit the course titles alone are enough to cause a little uneasiness, not to mention the tension that can arise as students delve into the details and particulars of each subject. Robin Jackson, senior, is a biology and med-tech double major and "I love it," she said.
They need to study '~s much as they can' . .
to bog her down, Jackson spoke of a study skills course taken at Cabrini in her freshman year taught by Arthur Young. She claims this course, in particular, helped her to be more organized in her approach to studying and in her general study habits. When asked her general feelings about the science courses offered at Cabrini, she said that they should definitely be tied in with outside experience to make them more effective.
Pam Lane, junior , is a biology and secondary education major. She has already taken several courses in regard to her science major. Lane feels the science half of her major is harder to study for and consumes much more of her time . However, she says she really likes it and would probably spend more time studying for the science half of her major anyway.

Jackson has had a lot of background experience concentrated in her science major. She knows where she is going and what she wants to do. Jackson bases this on the fact that she is able to blend her science courses at Cabrini with various job opportunities she has experienced outside of Cabrini.
Currently she works in the pathology departmen_t at Hahnemann Hospital. Jackson said she spends as much time as she can studying and her science courses consume a great deal of her time, in relation to studying other non-science topics. When asked if all those long hours of studying really seemed In regard to how much Lane studies, she replied, " As much as I'm possibly able to." As of now, Lane has not yet begun an internship for her science major. She is interested in an internship in nutrition. Her basic aim at this point is teaching. Lane is taking secondary education courses to help her teach biology more effectively.
Lane feels her biology major is difficult, but is willing to put in the time to make it all worth her while. Right now she hopes that future outside job experiences will help her, as they did Jackson, tie in her courses a little close to her goals.
All Hallow's Eve:
Halloween is more than just trick or·treat
byBeth Daly To many of us Halloween is nothing more than an excuse to dress up in costumes and go to a party, and for children Halloween means trick or treat, candy and getting into zany costumes. Many people do not know that Halloween is really a religious celebration, All Hallow's Eve. It is not very widely known that Hal- , loween dates back to the festival introduced by Pope Boniface IV in the seventh century. The festival was used to supplant the pagan festival of the dead. The original date was May 13 but Gregory III (d. 741) assigned Nov. 1 as the feast of All Saint's Day, hence All Hallow's Eve is Oct. 31. Halloween no longer seems to have any real religious significance to the general public . Sr. Bernadette Casciano, MSC, M.S., said, "As everything has become more secularized, so has Halloween." "This may be the last year that Halloween is recognized as a holy day. because the number of holy days is being reduced to three," Casciano said. Literally, All Hallow's Eve means hallowed, or holy evening, a vigil, it is the eve of All Saint's Day. "Collier's Encyclopedia" defines B:alloween as being, "associated, through its name, with All Hallow's Eve. Popular secular observance of Halloween, falling on the 1 night-of Oct. 31, is derived from the rites of the druids celabrating the day of Saman, when the Lord of Death called together the souls of the wicked who had died during - the past year. The theme of the harvest which runs through modern Halloween celebrations, comes from both the old druidic celabrations and the Roman festivals in honor of Pamona, goddess of fruit, which were brought to Britain during the Roman occupation." To understand Halloween as a religious celebration it must be understood what All Saint's Day contributes to that meaning. All Saint's Day is a feast day in honor of all saints, observed on November first, by the Roman Catholic Church and by churches related to the Church of England . 'This may be the last year that Halloween is . recognized as a holy day because the number of holy days is being reduced to three. '-Sr. Bernadette Casciano According to "How It Started", by Webb Garrison (supplied by Carter W. Craigie, social science department chairperson), "once Nov. 1 was designated as All Saint's or All Hallow's day to honor those saints who don't have special days in the church calendar, it was inevitable that Oct. 31 should play a role. Since saints dominate Nov. 1, logic suggests that witches, hobgoblins, and elves are busiest in the hours before they will have to take a back seat."
Although many people believe that the only term that describes All Hallow's Eve is "Halloween," that is not the case. In England Oct. 31 is called Snapapple Night and Nutcrack Night and is a night for celebrations. On Halloween night, throughout the country, there is an unwritten law that there will not be punishment for pranks committed on that evening. Although the local police department may think otherwise. Many years ago, to ease the excited children's tempers, treats in the form of cookies and candies were offered to the children. In America today, the phrase 'trick or treat' means nothing more than something that is said as the door to each house that is visited is opened. However in other countries, the meaning of the phrase is taken literally. A short song is sung to each prospective source of candy, "Unless you win me over by giving me a treat, you'll find your windows soaped or toilet paper draped over a tree on the mourn of All Saint's Day," according to Webb Garrison's book. The actual reason for the beginning of the custom of trick or treating is difficult to trace. Pat Mc Fadden,junior, said "the people begged for food to eat in church on All Saint's Day." Apparently church services on All Saint's Day lasted all day and the people would not be able to return to their homes in order to prepare food. Another element of Halloween is dressing up in various costumes . Originally children dressed as their favorite patron saint, now costumes include vampires, spacemen, animals and favorite characters. - Although the religious connotations have lessened, Halloween will always be a time for celebrations, trick or treating and dressing up as someone other than yourself. A needed break from the normal activities of every person's life.
by Barbara Mongelli So you've decided that you want to shape up and trim down? Making that decision is the easiest part. The hard choice is how you are going to lose those pounds and inches. Consider exercise albums, they can be an alternative to dull sit-ups and tiresome jumping jacks. There are a variety of exercise albums from which to choose. Most record stores carry the selections at an average price of eight dollars. Any musical preference can be satisfied. There are albums of aerobics and exercise to jazz, country music, classical music, disco and even religious songs. If you need some incentive, you can choose from exercise albums from such celebrities as Jane Fonda and Jayne Kennedy. There are exercis~ albums by the Walt Disney gang for children, and some especially for pregnant women. There is a physical education course here at Cabrini College called Slimnastics, which uses exercise albums. The class is held by Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director, who jokingly said that she has "every exercise album on the market," does the grueling workout four times a week.
Goodwin said, "I feel like I'm in better shape, better physical condition," as a result of exercising. Several students agreed with her. Jody Romano, freshman, has recently lost fifteen pounds, and she feels that these exercises have helped her. Kim Field, freshman, said, "I'm glad,that I'm doing it. I think I'm getting in better The biggest asset of the albums is that they are more entertaining than just exercising on your own. Goodwin said that it's
"boring to stand and count and just do formal exercises." Michelle Iatesta, freshman, said that "since it's to music, it's more entertaining, and you don't realize how much you're exercising." But you should not let these nice comments fool you. Exercise albums are hard work. Field said that they are hard, but good for you, calling it "hard fun." The songs on the albums play continuously without a break, making for an average of a forty-five minute exercise program. The albums usually follow a pattern. They start with a warm-up, which is followed by aerobics. The aerobics leave you gasping for air, as you begin to work your stomach, legs, hips, and then your arms. Next are more aerobics, and then, just when you think you cannot take it anymore, comes a series ofrelaxing exercises . Of the albums done in the Slimnastics class, the students agree wholeheartedly that the Joannie Greggins "Exercise and Aerobic Shpae-up" is the hardest. Since Greggins' album is so strenuous, many students feel that it is the best exercise album. Goodwin agrees . "Of all of them, I like her (Greggins) the most, adding that Greggins gives the best "overall workout ." Goodwin added that Greggins' album is better than the other ones because it has more aerobics, which are good for circulation and the heart. Goodwin said that the other albums do not have as many aerobics, but are still good exercise albums. Cheryl Cirino, freshman, thinks that the downfall of the Greggins album is its difficulty.
Tom's Corner T. DeMatteis The "Rose" wilted in Philly
The song that was played at the Vet during the seventh inning stretch of the fifth, and as it turned out, final game of the 1983 World Series was "Last Dance" by Donna Summers. The announcer at the stadium stated that this song would be the last that the Phillie Phanatic would perform to for the 1983 season. Indeed, it seemed that it would be the "Last Dance" for the Phanatic because the Phillies were losing 5-0 to the Orioles. As I watched the perfotmance from my seat in the stadium, I realized that the song was also appropriate for our home team that was about to concede the World Championship title.
.. The first verse of the song mcludes the words "When I'm bad I'm so so bad." Those ofus who watched the game, either at the stadium or on television, would agree that these words fittingly described the way the Phillies had played on that day and throughout the series.
Another verse of the song that appropriately described the bleak situation of the Phils goes something like this: "Last chance for last dance tonight." Indeed, it was the last chance for the Phillies not only in this game, but in the series, the season, and probably for some of the most noteworthy Phillies players. The last of these points, that is the possibility that some players-may not be returning to the Phillies next year, was the thought I pondered the most. Some potential Hall of Famers such as Joe Morgan and Tony Perez along with others such as Ron Reed and Tug McGraw have cloudy futures with the Phillies. While these players contributed greatly to the Phillies successful season, it was another prominent baseball figure that dominated my thoughts. I was thinking of one Pete Rose who, as it turned out, performed his "Last Dance" as a Philadelphia Phillie. Even though I am not a big Rose fan, I feel badly for what he went through this season.
First he was switched between first base and right field. Then he was · pulled in and out of the lineup throughout the season. And finally to add insult to injury, this professional, who is not accustomed to this poor treatment, was benched in the third game of the series by Phillies manager Paul Owens.
This treatment of a man who has proven throughout his career to be a World Series star has surely put into question his future with the Phillies. Looking at his record it is obvious that this is a great shame. Pete Rose was the MVP in the '7 5 series and he holds the record for most post season base hits. Needless to say such a proven player was embarrased by this poor treatment.
Thoughout the season there was talk centered around whether or not the Phillies franchise would renew Roses' contract at all. Noting this questioning of Roses' ability combined with the above insults, I felt after watching this game that Rose should turn down any offer the Phillies might make to him and instead search for a new team.

Unless you know someone on the tennis team or on the tennis team yourself you probably never hear about them. Well, this might all be changing because next year the tennis team will be a part of a league. In past years the tennis team has been a team which has received little as far as recognition goes. They have never been supported by the students at Cabrini as other sports been supported by the students at Cabrini as other sports are. Helen Goodwin, chairperson of the physical education department said, "It has always • annoyed me that the girls go out and support the men's teams but they don't support the women's teams."
• ..... This is especially true for the tennis team. Students and faculty cannot see tennis matches because all the games are away. This is do the fact that the tennis courts at Cabrini are not adequate courts for the games. The women's tennis team practices among the leaves on Cabrini's one tennis court. At present there is only one court on the Cabrini campus. Since there are five matches in one meet more than one court is needed. Maureen McKenna said, "With one court it takes five times as long to complete the meet. We would be there all day if we had to use Cabrini's court." Practices are also affected due to the court situation. "Practice is impossible because there are seven girls trying to practice on one court," said Maureen McKenna. An added factor in the lack of recognition is the size of the team. The tennis team consists of seven players. They include: Robin Larkins, Louanne McKenna, Maureen McKenna, Karen Pate, Geralyn Christ and Maureen Dunagon. Of the seven players on the team there are six juniors and one senior. Cabrini field hockey team experiences ups and downs As a result the tennis team is the smallest sports team at Cabrini. Tennis coach and assistant hockey coach, Vicki Greenwood hopes that more people will go out for the team next year. Greenwood said, "Anyone who is willing to come out and work to get better should go out for the tennis team." Do to the fact that the tennis team is not presently in a league they have only played a few teams . The team has played four teams this year. They include Eastern, Gwynedd-Mercy, Montgomery County and Neumann. This year the team as a whole won one match out of the four against Neumann College. Robin Larkins said, "We hope that with the formation of an organized team with a set schedule and coach that people will recognize us more and come out to support us and go out for the team." . . Vicki Greenwood shares the feehng with the girls that the tennis team -does not receive the attention it deserves.
When asked if she thought that her involvement with the hockey team was interfering with the tennis team she said, "Yes, it does interfere because there are some times when I am at hockey games and I can't go to practice. However, they don't need me at every practice because they know what they have to work on and I know they are going to do it." Greenwood said she knows they are practicing because, "The girls are getting better and better all the time."
The juniors who are members of the team have worked hard for three years to see that Cabrini formulate an organized tennis team which would be in a league .
by Susan Baj The week of Oct. 23 is the last week for games scheduled to be played this season by the Cabrini College field hockey team. The 1983 season has left Cabrini with four wins and nine defeats recorded thus far in the season, with three games left to be played. The records feature Cabrini winning against Montgomery County College (6-2), Rosemont (2-0), Chestnut Hill (4-1), and 'Toward the end of the season I could see the teammates really pulling together.' Jean Findlay Beaver College (1-0). Cabrini losses this season included those against Haverford (3-0), Immaculata (7-0}, Bryn Mawr (7-0), Penn State Ogontz (3-0), and Camden County Community College (6-0). The scorers for Cabrini this season included Patty Hinke, Lori Di Meglio, Regina Law, Michelle Tarbotton, Kim Toth, and Debbie Kirk. Many players of the 1982 Cabrini field hockey team graduated last year. This meant new players and new team strategies had to be developed , according to Jean Findlay, junior, three year hockey member. The defense is relatively' completely new this year. Four new freshmen on the team include Toth, Regina Smith , Gia Di Giminiani, and Anne D'Amico. The Cabrini field hockey team is in its fourth season. Mimi Greenwood is, and has been, the coach of the team for its duration. This year, however, Greenwood's daughter, Vicky Greenwood was brought in to be assistant coach. This has been helpful, according to Findlay, because it enables the offense and defense to be divided and worked with separately, giving each individual attention and more specific guidance. Findlay said, "Toward the end of the season I could see the teammates really pulling together, moreso than in the beginning of the season ." "It's kind of depressing though, because now that we're really a team, it's the end of the season," Findlay concluded.
