Marijuanawrite-upscause controversy

by Judy Buck On Monday evening Jan. 16, a serious drug related incident occured in Woodcrest dormatory.

Six students, three males and three females were approached while sitting in a rooms by the resident manager and two resident assistants of Woodcrest.

The resident manager and two RA's had suspicions that an illegal drug was, at that time, being used , therefore in accordance with the Cabrini College Student Handbook, "A college official accompanied by another staff member, may enter a student's room without notice ... where there is reasonable and strong suspicion that the college regulations have been or are being violated."

According to the two RA's, who were both at the time in ont room watching a television special, they began to smell something distinctly strange and thought it smelled like marijuana.

The two RA's proceeded to open up a wi_ndow to see if the smell was coming from outside while the smell then became much more evident. They both then went out into the hall to see if the smell was coming from one of the rooms. As soon as they had approached the closest room to where they had been watching television, they both

realized the smell was emphatically coming from that particular room.

They, at this point, decided to notify the resident manager of Woodcrest. The three women then looked in the handbook to see what the policy for entry, and drug violations were. The resident manager told

'It's the first time a situation like this one has occured since I've been here. No one has ever been written up for it although I realize that the problem has possiblyexistedor that marijuanasmoking has gone on - I'm not naive to that.'

Sr. ChristineBaltas, MSC, dean of students the two RA's after reading the handbook that they did in fact have the legal right to enter the room even if there was a suspicion of drug use.

The resident manager at this point got a ' that right then and there just as the other student had done they would have had a master key to the room and the three prochance but they didn't.

Cabriniholdsits firstHelpingHand Superthon

activities in the pursuit of money for charity, leaving in its tracks some successes, some flops, and a group of thoroughly exhausted organizers.

The idea for a Superthon, a marathon radio. broadcast and fundraising activity, was originally conceived last April by WCAB station advisor Frank Hogan, who worked on a similar project at Glassboro State College. The main reasons for staging such a large event were to make WCAB a more visible, active part of the campus, while working with the school community for an outside benefit.

'The Superthonwas a vision bigger than ourselves,but in a sense we were carrying on the work of Mother Cabrini, a small lady who did big, charitable things.'

"Other students had approached me about raising money for an ALS fund,"said Director of Student Activities Colleen DiRaddo, who explained that a parent of a Cabrini Student had the disease. ''When the idea for a Superthon was later brought to me, I suggested putting the two activities together."

So the charities were chosen: ALS (commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease), to benefit a Cabrini parent, and Ronald McDonald House to contribute to a well-known organization. In exchange for raising the money, the charities were expected to help out by sending spokespeople, pamphlets and media messages to further support the cause. more SUPERTHON on 4 -

PERSPECTIVES

editorials .

Wherethere'ssmoke, there'sfire Along with the many phases of change which have naturally evolved during the course of Cabrini history, the realization has come to light that "smoking pot" has denotations and connotations much more complicated than the appliances which hold mom's simmering home cooking on the stove.

The broader issue of illegal drugs does have its section in the resident life section of the handbook. The section recognizes the illegality of drug use and its detrimental effect towards the achievement of institutional goals .

In the event of problems occurring, the clause encourages students to "utilize the resources of the Counseling Center." The statement concludes: "Disciplinary action will be initiated, however, wherever warranted to ensure the continuance of the academic functions and goals of the college. The first offense is referral to the Director of Resident Life."

We recognize the need for counseling help to be available for those caught up in the usage of drugs, alcohol included , We recognize the relevance of strict disci-plinary action in the event of an incidence involving drugs, also.

In light of this recognition of the need for action to be taken against this serious problem, the concrete stipulations of a drug policy; in particular a marijuana policy for the college need to be spelled out and articulated through the college handbook and through the residency staff itself for the better understanding of the college and its students . Presently this is not so.

The policy should be stated along the same lines as the alcohol policy. The charges should be specifically stated, definitely mentioning the possession and usage of marijuana, along with the penalties which will incur upon infraction.

Also, provisions and statement of policy against drug use should not only be confined to residency policies. Additionally, the problem should be addressed and dealt with in the non resident conduct section of the handbook also .

It's most unfortunate th~t precedents have to occur in dealing with this type- of situation. Although isolated in nature, the problem has to be c~nfro?-ted h_ead ~n and recognized as a violation in need of a statement and speciftf stipulations m the dealing and exercise of authoritative judgment over such a situation as drug

usage and possession . This is especially true when legal as well as college laws are found to be in violation.

The situation is a difficult one to evaluate and set policy for since we live in a world of increasing acceptance of marijuana and controversy over the legality of it. The constant comparison of smoking a joint versus taking a drink is also prevalent.

However, one thing should be remembered. Regardless of personal opinion, drug usage, including marajuana , is illegal, no matter what age a person is caught doing it .

As is often the case, something has to happen in order for a situation to be confronted and the need for clarification for the first time becomes necessary . The marijuana issue was brought to light by an incident occurring early this semester where five students were accused and written up for the possession of illegal drugs (marijuana ) on campus.

In analyzing the whole incident , we feel that the vagueness of policy needs to be clarified and properly stated.

In light of the circumstances, however, we agree with how the office of resident life handled the precedent making situation. The issue was dealt with expediently, authoritatively and severely. More effective action could have been taken had there been better rules and regulations written on the subject to begin with.

Nevertheless, the college has shown that it will not hesitate to take the initi ative to say that it will not tolerate drug usage in any way shape or form.

Of course, as with any controversial decision or issue , there is no such thing as universal agreement. In this case also , there is probab ly a divers ity of opini on that this editorial cannot , and does not, seek to settl e here .

Nevertheless an issue has been confronted and a warning proclaimed. In regards to using marajuana on campus, where there 's smoke, there 's fire ... and when someone smells the smoke, there's the threat of being burnt .

Imaginea semesterof college absolutely free Imagine the surprised look on some students faces when they realized that they were not receiving a tuition bill for the Spring '84 semester. Imagine how they felt knowing that they owed the college nothing and the tuition was free of charge. lnia)p.ne receiving a tuition bill with print so illegible that it looks almost like a fresh sheet of paper and you just throw it away. Imagine no bill of sale; a semester of college absolutely free .

Sounds impossible? Well it isn't. This scenario actually took place right here on our own campus.

Toward the end of Christmas break, Cabrini students received or did not receive copies of their tuition bill that were late and poorly printed. The business officewas unnable to correct the problems. The billing was already late and the bills had to be sent out with their imperfections.

The reasons for the bills condition were related to a new computerized billing system. The business office, in effort to give students a swifter and better billing system, has gradually made a conversion to a modern computerized system. This system is designed to improve the billing process , however more problems occurred because of this system.

Due to the conversion, there was a' great deal of work backed up. The information needed for the tuition bills was late, hence so were our bills.

The bills that were delivered were very difficult to read because of the light

print on the pages. Other bills were hard to open and seperate without the pages sticking together.

Some students were not even lucky enough to receive an illegible bill . Some received no bill at all. It seems that machines at the post office damaged some of the bills and they were returned back to the school. The possibility ofno tuition soon filled many students heads . No tuition bill , no tuition . Idealistic , but not realistic. If there is one thing colleges do well, that is reminding people how much they are paying for their education.

Sometimes, in the scheme of great things, modernization does not happen as easily as planned. There are usually problems that arise. In the case of the new tuition bills, the business office had more than their share of problems .

The problems with the bills are minor and will probably be worked out the next time around. The business office assures that the billing problems are being corrected and original copies of the tuition invoices are on file in the business office.

Loquitur is confident that the business office has everything under control by now and that in the future students will be receiving "bills that are clearly readible, accurate and on time. Then these silly rumors about free tuiton will be set to rest once and for all.

Superthon: 33 hoursof gMng Cabrini College's First Annual Helping Hand Superthon was a success. It was a campus wide activity in which the whole campus was able to feel .united in working toward an important goal.

In addition to campus unity, the Helping Hand Superthon did what Cabrini needs to do more of. It enabled the students of Cabrini to reach out into the community and share some of the valuable resources which can be found in the faculty and student body.

The unity of the weekend extended home to parents who were asked to contribute to the cause and who were also invited to the New Years Eve dance which _brought the marathon to a close.

Over $1500 dollars was raised and will be devided equally between two charities: The Ronald McDonald House and the ALS Foundation.

We must think about the amount of work that must have gone into planning a 33 hour Superthon. That leads us to commend four individuals who worked to

their potential in order to make the Superthon possible: Collen DiRaddo, Director of Student Adtivities; Robin Larkins, SGA president; Tom Schultz, WCAB Station Manager; and Andy Zipfel, WCAB Music Director . They succeeded in bringing the campus together for a good cause and therefore reached their goals.

Activities of the Superthon ranged from auctions, to horror :movies,to air band and worse joke contests.

In the success of the Helping Hand Superthon, Cabrini showed its potential. The individuals on campus gave of themselves. The success of the superthon, led by dedicated leaders, was a success for the entire campus.

We feel that extending beyond the success of this year, the most important word in the plans for the Superthon was the word annual. The students and faculty at Cabrini will have more chances to extend themselves in an act of giving to their community and world.

PERSPECTIVES

letters Teaching is learning Dear editor, My thoughts in this letter have benn brewing over the -Christmas break and were prompted by a remark of my daughter when she heard how poorly one of my classes had done on its final exam.

"Gee, Mom," she said, "you must be terribly disappointed."

And she was right. I was disappointed, terribly disappointed. I had wanted the class to do well. I like to give "A's." It signifies a job well done-at least on the student's part and sometimes on mine. More importantly, I want the students to have the know ledge and skills tested by the exam.

Unfortunately teachers wear two hatshats which, in fact, are often in conflict with one another. On the one hand, we play the role of freindly men.tors, leading students todiscoveries of their own and to an appreciation of the past discoveries of others. On the other hand, we play the role of testors, wielding a big stick, extracting penalties for failure to discover or appreciate. It's a complicated business. We all feel the conflicts. And I'm sure all faculty members prefer the former role. But, quite frankly, the students themselves are the greatest determinants of which hat we wear, of which role we play. If students actively seek knowledge, if they become our friends in the discovery process, then the testing role loses its importance. If, however,our students refuse to become our friends in the learning process, if they ignore the body of knowledge we wish them to apreciate, then we are forced to put on the other hat, to become less friendly and more forceful in "leading" them to what we hope wilf make them better people.

Getting back to last semester, on a final exam of72 questions, all multiple choice or true/false, the class missed an average of 26 questions for a class average of about 64% on the exam. That's teacher disappointment.

What can I conclude from all this? I'm not sure. I hate the idea of more tests, more homework assignments, black marks for not attending class, etc. But it's not possible to be a friendly mentor to students who won't join me in the process. In the meantime I have my disappointment. My class did not do well and so, I must conclude, neither did I. I'll try harder next time. I just hope they will.

Sincerely, Sharon Schwarze, Ph.D.

Truecredit isdue Dear Editor, Please note the following correction to the article "Theater Workshop Involves Children and Students" which appeared in the November 28th issue of the Loquitur.

The Theater Workshop program was started an a cooperative effort of Cabrini College Theater and Central Baptist Church in Wayne. Grace Amadeo carried the program for fall 1982 semester as a master's degree course. Since then, the program has been under complete direction of Cabrini College, both through the theater and special educ'ation students. Please excuse the former misin~ terpretation. Thank you very much.

Sincerely, Cindi Schulmeyer

It could be trivial...or even sexist I hope all you girls ...oh excuse me, I mean women, of Cabrini have put up your money for the all famed "Men of Cabrini Calendar."

According to the editors of Cryptic, our providers of this campus relic, sales are not as good as they had anticipated.

Less than one third of the calendars have been sold and the editors of Cryptic have been accused of being "sexist pigs" not to mention having poor taste in men.

Others might react by saying that women have been exploited by men for centuries and it is about time that things take a turn around. Though a turnabout may seem warrented, I can't see how it will help the situation.

I wonder what woul~ have happened if someone had tried to sell a "Women of Cabrini" Calendar." Would the women have been so willing to jump in front of the camera? Maybe, but somehow the idea doesn't seem to have the same novelty as it does with men. Perhaps that's just my socialization shining through, telling me what men and women do or don't do. Or rather, what they have and haven't done in the past.

Despite women's lib and the less publicized men's lib, we still manage to hold onto many of our socialized expectations of the opposite sex. A long list of expectations accompany our relationships with members of the opposite sex, especially in situations such as romance.

'A long listof expectations accompany our relationships with members of the opposite sex, especially in situations such as romance.'

'Despite women's lib and the less publicized men's lib, we still manage to hold onto many of our socialized expectations of the opposite sex.'

One of the calendar men himself termed it a "a gross display of discrimination," but managed a more than adequate pose ¡ for photographers.

I suppose those who refrained from buying the calendar are waiting for a second edition, ''The Real Men of Cabrini." I seem to remember hearing from someone on this campus that it takes two men to do the job of one woman. Or was it the other way around?

/

Our first reaction to such a calendar is to laugh. The idea seems innocent enough. There are those, on the other hand who would call it sexist exploitation and they are probably right. "But what can it hurt?" we say.

Kathy McCartney

We even have customs which support these expectations. For instance, what will you expect from your valentine next Tuesday? I know what I expect: a dozen roses , a card , a box of candy...(But I'll settle for a card like I did last year.)

My expectations , like the calendar, seem so trival. It seems like an innocent game of role playing. But those who would call the calendar strict exploitation might also tell me that it is the little games that lead to bigger problems.

Our society has done a lot in an attempt to attack the larger problem of sexism. We still have a long way to go. We still hold on to the trivial things. Some might say that they make things like romance more interesting. Again we as"k.,"What can it hurt?"

I have to admit, my "Men of Cabrini Calendar" is already hanging in my room.

Musicvideos portray a .mixtureof feelings Music videos have pretty much become a staple part of our lives. Those lively, animated, visual images of music songs have become another household word. Words like Video Rock, Rockworld, Friday Night Videos and MTV have become just another category in our vocabulary.

Most ofus have witnessed a music video one time or another.

They can be seen in bars, movie theaters and at all times on the television. Music Tulevision (MTV) is a 24 hour cable network that plays strictly music videos. The outdated 45 record has been replaced by a music-video disc or tape.

Music videos began in the late 1970's and early 1980's. The videos have been gaining popularity ever since. The videos were instruments which recording artists could express their music through visual images. It seemed like a good idea and many people were willing to take a risk and try music videos.

As a source of entertainment and' fun most music videos have well choreographed dancing, creative scenery and some average acting. But what most music videos lack is a good positive theme. It seems most videos, instead of projecting good images, concentrate on the battle of the sexes, violence, exploitation of women and tragic love affairs. Videos with creative positive themes are few and far between.

Videos like Duran Duran's hit, "Hungry Like the Wolf' show a man hunting a woman in a jungle. Or the Romantic's video

'"I}tlking in Your Sleep", show several women in their nightgowns asleep and seduced by the singers in the band. The themes in these videos are disturbing. Videos which exploit women and use violence for means of entertainment portray no positive images.

No~~l videos deal with ~egative and disturbing themes, but a maJonty of them contam some element of destruction. We can all probably count on one hand the videos which had nothing to do with sex or violence if we could think of them.

No~only are these themes disturbing, but they become very bonng and monotonous to the viewers.

If only we could see more music videos with more imagination and creativity to them. Or even have a video contain a certain message which would be positive to the viewer. In Michael Jackson's video "Beat It", it emphasizes street fighting as a worthless way to solve disagreements. Instead rival street gangs join, together to dance the problems away. The video was enjoyable and Jackson's acting supports the constructive theme appropiately.

After we have seen a number of these negative, musical videos, we not only become bored, but disturbed. And one has to wonder what these videos are revealing about the music of the future.

'Albert'sBookstore'installsnew magazinestand

by Beth Daly

Prompted by a Loquitur article in the Oct. 28, 1-9837ssue and a large campus request for recreational reading material, "Albert's Bookstore" has added a magazine rack, and a supply of newspapers . According to Albert Vassallo, manager of the bookstore, the response is less than overwhelming ''but it should improve."

In the previous article, by Lucia Laurito, various students and faculty expressed a want for magazines and newspapers, and questioned the lack of such items. Twice before the sale of newspapers and magazines was tried, once in the '60's and again in 1980 by the SGA. · Vassallo commented that the bad weather of the first two weeks in school may be one reason for the poor sales . Vassallo said "I see the kids looking at them (magazin~s), but they are probably getting them other places." . r The bookstore receives a total of15 newspapers a day, and sells about 12 of them.

There is a loss in cost, to the bookstore, of one or two papers daily. _ The bookstore pays a service charge and the price of each magazine to the magazine

distributors. "Initially, the bookstore is losing money," said Vassallo.

Rich Jones, junior , said, "I buy the newspapers. I haven't bought any magazines because ldid not have the money_~ith Ille."

According to Vassallo the students are receiving a good deal by aquiring magazines from either mail-in orders or the bookstore. The cover price on most magazines is much higher if magazines are aquired from other areas.

According to Linda Radice, freshman, "I go not usually buy magazines ," but she would be willing to buy them if the price is reasonable . Junior Lori Anderson said , "I get LIFE alreadv ."

When asked why he did not buy any magazines Pat McKenna , freshman , said , ''I haven 't had time to read them , but it is a good idea ."

Above is Mike Fenza, junior accou_nting and business major, reads Money magazine in front of the new magazine stand in "Albert's Bookstore." (photo by Debbie Kidon)

The bookstore curren tly stocks 33 different magazines , among which are STEREO REVIEW , MS ., PEOPLE , and the TV GUIDE. The other periodicals rang e from business news to scien ti fic repor ts and even a crossword puzzle book.

Healthsurveyto help planthe next 'HealthFair'

by Peggy Simon During the first week of this semester a health promotion survey put together by Villanova University and Cabrini's resident nurse, Mary Mulligan, was distibuted to each student here at Cabrini. The survey listed a number of health topics and asked the students to indicate in what areas I they felt program development is needed on Ciimpus.

The result s of the survey will be compiled as soon as a substantial number are returned to the Mu1ligan's office . Those topics that rank the highest will be choosen for further development.

Eight Registered Nurses who are in the senior class at Villanova are working along with Mulligan on the project. Each RN will be 1 responsible for one of the health topics chosen from the survey results.

On Apr. 9, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., a health fair will be held here at Cabrini in the Widener Center. Booths will be set up providing information on the various health topics. In addition to this , beginning on Monday, Feb. 13, and continuing until Apr. 9, the eight Villanova st ud ents will be availab le every Monday, Wednesday, and Fr iday to personally answer an y question s and provide additional information .

SUPERTHONfrom 1 Whatever lack of interest students had for Fr iday night's dance, they regained for the horror movie afterward, "Psycho II" which was very well attended. A coffee house at 3 a .m . featured the singing and dancing talents of some brave students for the benefit of a dwindling audience. The early Saturday morning activities lost out to sleep, the marathon theme more or less dying out when only six people showed up to watch the air band competition.

Energy picked up the next day, however, with the popular "Brunch with the Beatles", followed by the surprisingly funny "Dating Game" in which two sets of Cabrini men and women provided some unforgettable answers to questions from a Harcum and a LaSalle student to win a dinner date. At noon, the sports competition was held, pitting the residences against each other in volleyball and basketball, culminating when the winners played in a game against the faculty and administration.

The score was close, but the faculty proved the victor.

The highlight of the entire project was the "Belated New Year's Eve Party," disc-jockeyed by Frank Hogan and a WFIL DJ The dance, which included cash bars and an auction, proved to be the biggest money maker of the weekend, grossing over $600 in four hours, and was a success as far as campus attendance .

The charities, however, were a disappointment , according to Tom Schultz, station manager of WCAB and the main drive of the Superthon. ''We discovered that Ronald McDonald House is a separate organization from the McDonald's chain, so we didn't get the advertisement and exposure that we should have. The Ronald McDonald and the Hamburgler they promised us didn't even show up.

ALS was a little more cooperative . They sent autographed pictures and Reggie Jackson baseballs.

But on the whole, they weren't very cooperative or supportive of our efforts."

After picking the charities, a commitee was set up consisting of Dr. Zurek, chairperson of the English and communications department, Hogan, DiRaddo, Schultz, WCAB program manager Andy Zipfel, and SGA President Robin Larkins, which met on a regular basis to discuss the goals, from what events would take place at what time slot, to how long the Superthon would last. WCAB enlisted the help of the communications department and SGA to assist in the planning and production of the huge project.

"All the plans were from scratch, since we'd never attempted anything like this before," said Larkins. "It was very difficult to plan a project which we were trying to get the whole school involved in . There were alot ofrevisions before we came up with an actual schedule."

"To plan a campu s wide activit y, in which you also want to reach a large community population, you need at least four or five months. We had to run around too much at the last minute to get things together, " DiRaddo said.

The Superthon itself began with a fair set up in the Widner Center Gathering Area , including finger-pain ting, kissing , and sponge-throwing booths sponsored by various campus organizations . The event grossed approximately $177.00, due partly to the attendance and support of Don Guanella children and community members .

"It was neat to have so much activity in the WCGA while the disc jockey's broadcasted live. I especially liked the finger-paintingit was fun, " freshmen Karen Bowers.

Friday night continued with a Men's/Woman's double-header basketball game. The Dance Party which followed, including two live bands da Pliars and The Dominoes, was perhaps the most disappointing activity because of poor student attendance.

"Da Pliars were a great band with alot of potential, " freshman Brian Feeley said. "But most of people at dance were either from other schools or were an older crowd that followed the bHnd, rather than Cabrini students. It showed a lack of interest and support from our own camp.us for our own project."

"The Superthon drew on _the entire college to work towards one goal," Larkins commented . "It requested every aspect of involvement from every class, organization and faculty member . The way that people came together,generously giving of themselves was unbelievable: the members of Kappa provided food for the dance; Colleen DiRaddo picked up the tab for mailing letters to parents; Brian Jensen solicited $190.00 worth of:__ Loquitor ads for the event; the C.E.C. invited schools like Don Guanella to participate, .... there's just too many people involved to list them all. But the really neat part was that everyone dedicated their time to a benefit that wasn't even for the college- it was for charity ."

"The Superthon was a healthy project for Cabrini," DiRaddo said, "because it reached out past the college to the community. It was a vision bigger than ourselves, but in a sense we were carrying on the work of Mother Cabrini, a small lady who did big, charitable things."

A grand total of$1586.86 was raised for ALS and Ronald McDonald House, and WCAB made itself more visible to the campus.

"The ~dministration can now acknowledge us as a goodorganization with strong work," Zipfel said.

Computerizedbillingsystemcausesproblems

by Lucia Laurito The spring semester began with some difficulties with the new computerized tuition bills.

Previous to January registration and financial clearance, students were given a view of the gradual computerization of the campus when they received their spring bill.

Unlike previous years, the tuition bills were late. James Keches, business manager, realizes this, and explains that "the conversion of a new system is a horrendous job."

Because of the conversion, there was a great deal of back-up work. Also, the data that was needed to enter into the computer for the tuition bills was late.

Many ¡students complained that the bills were flimsy and hard to read. "I needed a magnifying glass to read the new bills," stated Laura Kraemer, junior. "I also think they (the business office) should not have tried to use the new computer system so soon, since that seemed to be the problem, until they were sure of its efficiency."

The new bills helped the business office save time and work by printing tuition invoices, mailing envelopes, and return envelopes in one printing.

Once the bills were completed, however, the business office noticed that the impressions on some of the bills were not"legible. At that time, it I was not possible to correct the problem, because it was necessary to complete the billing for the spring '84 semester. The bills were sent out despite their imperfections.

Some bills torn by post-office machines were returned to Cabrini. This is the reason some students did not receive their bills. The business office is looking into this matter.

"We know of all the problems, and we are correcting them," Keches said.

Keches believes the first billing went well. Of course, he explained there is still a great amount of work to be done, but it is starting to smooth out.

"Even though I liked the old bills better, with a little help the new bills will be fine," according to a .

Cabrini student.

Compared to other schools who have converted to computers, the one month installation achieved by the office has not been done before, Keches explained.

The business officeassures that the billing probSenior Lynn Trasferini and junior Karen Pote attempt to open two lems are being corrected.

MARIJUANAfrom1 The five students' punishments of immediate dismissal from residency were administered by Sr. Christine Baltas, MSC, dean of students. Baltas stated, "It's the first time a situation like this one has occured since I've been here. No one has ever been written...up for it although I realize that the problem has possibly existed or that marijuana smoking has gone on - I'm not naive to that."

"If a similar situation should arise I would administer the same punishment.

Since the punishment in the handbook was not clearly stated I have the authority to administer the. punishment. It's possible that there will be a consideration for revision of that policy in the handbook. This would make it very dffinitive not only in regard to marijuana but use of other drugs.

I don't want to limit it by just saying marijuana but all illegal drugs," Baltas said.

"Normally matters of disipline if it's concerning residence would _go to Gus Nicoletti, if it's something of a serious nature he brings it to my attention. In this case it was referred to him in the handbook, and he in turn referred it to me which he has the right to do," Baltas also said.

Out of the five students who were written up for suspicion ofposession and smoking marijuana, two pleaded guilty, two are appealing the decision and one had withdrawn from Cabrini College.

According to Nicoletti, "The two students that are appealing on Monday (Feb. 6.), are appealing the write-ups of being involved in posession of illegal drugs. If the Resident Conduct Committee finds that the students were not guilty of the writeup then no punishment will be administered," Nicoletti said.

The committee consists of five students that were elected from the student body and one faculty member.

"I feel the students were treated quite fairly and their rights were protected and they had an opPQrtunity to express their feelings on the entire situation. We took three or four days in dealing with this situation and we felt we made the best decision for the college, students, and entire community. This punishment will be for the semester if these students want to reapply for residency in September they have every right to," Nicoletti added.

The appeal for the two students was heard by the Resident Conduct Committee on Monday Feb. 6. "The committee upheld the appeal of not guilty for the charge of posession of drugs," according to one students representatives.

The same representative stated, "If nothing .else this case shows that the RA's don't have unfederate power that they have to abide not only by the schools rules but also by the rules of state and the laws of Pennslyvania. If nothing else that students rights ought to be protected beyond the discretion of a couple resident assistants and resident managers and that was proven right here tonight."

The five other students who were involved in the incident had no comments for the Loquitor.

"Menof USC beware by Judy Buck Women of Cabrini, we've all heard of "Playgirl", "Hunk of the Month", "Chippendale's", and "The UCLA" calendars - but now there's something even more entising - ''The Men of Cabrini Calendar!"

The calendar is the first initial effort in establishing funds for "The Cryptic", Cabrini's literary magazine.

According to Barbara Mongelli, sophomore, ''The Cryptic needed to raise funds and we didn't want the traditional bake sale ·we wanted to do something more creativ~. We were also very rushed for time since the idea first occurred to us in the middle of December. We did have some problems getting pictures : that's why some photos aren't as good as others because of the time limitation. Next year, if the calendar is a success we'll poll people to see who gets in, and it will also be more organized."

Students responces were varied when questioned about the calendar . Chris Petruzzo, senior, stated, "I thought it was basically a cute idea - but I also felt there should have been a better mixture of men from each class . The reason I myself didn't

The calendar is a 1984 edition with a male posed on the cover through the month of December. The men throughout the calendar are posed in various positions in which they felt comfortable or relaxed in an atmosphere that was familiar to them.

Patricf Mc Kenna, freshman," Mr. January", stated, "Considering this was Cabrini's first effort in establishing a sexist calendar, I thought the results were good, but I'm wondering if next year we'll have a women of Cabrini calendar so we have something to put on our walls."

New YorkExoerienceaids ProjectAppalachia

by Rose Battiato and Jeanne Boyle Special to Loquitur Admidst the hustle and bustle of New York City, 15 Cabrini students travelled in search of a rewarding experience and an opportunity to earn money for Project Appalachia and themselves.

The journey began on Monday, January 2, 1984, while many were recuperating from a festive New Year's weekend.

We arrived in New York City at 5:00p.m. that evening and made our way to the old, vacated Cabrini Hospice at East 21st Street and Third Avenue. We unloaded the jammed to capacity van, unpacked and familiarized ourselves with what was going to be our living quarters for the next ten days. We retired early that evening anticipating a very busy day ahead at the Cabrini Medical Center where we were stationed to work.

As per our instructions, we reported to the hospital at 9:00a.m. Tuesday morning - not five before and not five afterwhere we were ushered into the board room to await our work placements for the next ten days. It was at this time that we were introduced to Sr. Josephine Tseui MSC, president of Cabrini Medical Cente;, and Grace Wong, the vice president in charge of special projects.

From this meeting, each of us was assigned positions throughout the medical center. We were placed throughout the hospital in the following departments: Special Projects, Fiscal, Emergency Room, Engineering, Pharmacy and the Hospice.

The work gave us a feel for the Cabrini Medical Center and the way it is run. We discovered that the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart are not soley involved in educational institutions, but in the medical as well. MSC sisters hold positions throughout many facets of the medical center, from administrators, to board members, to admitting clerks, to nurses.

According to Tony Casazza, senior, ''The New York experience gave me the chance to see how the spirit of Mother Cabrini has touched the lives of those needing medical care, with friends who wanted to share and

learn that exper~ence with me. Bemg a part of that experience hati made me more aware of the love the MSC sisters have for those who are less able to care for themselves." . . .

Ot~er p~rhcipants _m the New Y?rk experience m~lu~ed: Mike Hawley, ~en~or; Mike _Fenza,J~nior; Jea1:11eBoyle, Junior; J?ebbie L_arkms, .sopho~ore; R?se Batbato, senior; Ro~m Larkms, J':1nio~;~orene Hertzog, senior; Sue Rerecich, Junior; Stacy_Sc~roepfer, s_enior; Anne H~ndrickson, Junior, Kathie ~yons , senior, and Theresa_Dymon~, senior. . .

Some impressions of the entire trip were summed up by several members of the group. . M~ke Hawley, senior, comm~nted , "I didn t see man_y new,faces, but I discovered a lot of ~ew fn~nds .

Debbie Larkins, sophomore, added her impressions: "New York, I honestly believe i~ will n~ver be the same. We turned that city upsid~, down. We came, we saw, we conquered.

Theresa Dymond, senior, said, "I thought it was ~ fun and learning e~pez:ience._The experi~nce_ofa~tually staymg m the city was fascmatmg. ~athie Lrons, senior, stated, ''Through this expene~ce I learned more ~bout my~lf, my fnends an~ the peo1_>le m }he hospital. It was a growmg experience.

Committeesreview currentconstitution

by Ann Belsky Robin Larkins, SGA president, announced the selection of five committees which would meet to examine the constitution and its guidelines. They would be responsible for making any amendments or changes in the present constitution.

The constitution was ratified at the end of the spring semester in 1983. Now, however, growing needs of the college and SGA must be met. ''The current constitution is not meeting the needs of student government," according to Larkins.

Some of the areas in which the constitution is no longer adequate are: budget guidelines, voting procedures and position descriptions of the executive board, accord~ ing to Larkins.

She is hoping to have the committees meet several times throughout the semester to read and decide on the appropriate additions or renovations to be implemented.

The committees that were selected at the Jan. 24 SGA meeting included: election, budget, activities, position and policies, ' and judicial.

The election committee will be chaired

by Marie Hunsberger, vice president, who will solidify the rules and regulations surrounding election procedures and appointments.

Jean Findlay, treasurer, is chairing the budget committee which is to discuss money matters and how money is handled within the SGA. Cathy O'Brien, Bert Siwak and Lou

Klock are heading the activiti~ committee. They will analyze the role of social activities and the position of the social acitivities committee within the student government.

A position and policy committee will look into the descriptions and responsibilities of each official of the SGA and general policies of the constitution. This will also include resignation procedures.

Larkins, Lynn Trasferini, recording secretary, and Ann Belsky, corresponding secretary, are chairpersons.

This year, there were conflicting ideas as to the roles of the various positions. In many aspects the constitution is not specific enough. This committee will review the existing descriptions and suggest additions to them.

The Residency Conduct Committee and SGA Judicial Board were requested to appoint a member to chair the judicial committee which will examine the judicial proceedings and the rights of students ·as stated in the Cabrini College Handbook.

Regular voting members of the SGA were given an opportunity to participate in these committees. Members were selected by volunteering. All voting members of SGA will work on some aspect regarding the constitution expansions.

Many of these committee meetings will take place during regularly scheduled SGA meetings. After the business of the week has been completed, members will divide into their committees to review the constitution.

FirstSuperthonis

by Robin Larkins and Marie Hunsberger

Reaching out and touching someone goes much further than the AT&T Telephone System. Cabrini College, through its First Annual Helping Hand Superthon, reached out and touched two very worthwhile charities: ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and the Ronald McDonald House.

In its events, the Superthon united the entire campus community into a single effort to create a helping hand to reach out into the world outside of Cabrini.

Throughout the weekend of January 20th and 21st, many sectors of the college planned, organized and executed 33 consecutive hours of special events under the direction of a steering committee which was comprised of Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, Frank Hogan, radio instructor, Robin Larkins, SGA president, Tom Schultz, station manager, WCAB, Andy Zipfel, program director, WCAB, and Jerome Zurek, chairperson of the English and communications departpient.

All profits from all activities were donated to the two aforementioned charities.

In the search for appropriate charities for which to work and raise funds, it was brought to our attention that the father of one of our Cabrini students is afl!icted with ALS. ALS is a progressive disease that destroys the nerves which move the muscles, leaving the mind intact.

SGACDM e Ronald McDonald House was chosen for its all around care and concern for terminally ill children. Their houses provide temporary living arrangements for terminally ill children and their families and is a totally volunteer operation.

The Superthon was co-sponsored by SGA, WCAB, the campus radio station, and the Student Activities Office. Each co-sponsor played their own special role in the execution of the Helping Hand weekend.

After WCAB began its continual 33 hour broadcast at two p.m. Friday, January 20, SGA, through their related clubs and organizations, kicked off the events of the weekend through four hours of fair set-ups and booths in a carnival-like atmosphere. Through their fund raising activities, financially sponsored by SGA, the clubs and organizations raised $177.45.

Through the efforts ofthe Education clubs (CEC, PSEA, CAEYC), invitations were sent out to their affiliated schools with which they work, drawing outside children into the club fair event. Don Guanella school braved the wintry conditions to donate to the cause.

Many clubs combined efforts and worked togerther to fill the afternoon with games, contests (bubble gum blowing, guess the M&Ms - which Dr. Romano won), and other related activities, including a kissing booth, willfully operated by Patty Hinke,junior, president of the International Club. Since Patty's major is French, there was a bit of a dispute as to the kinds of kisses Patty offered... Nevertheless, Patty dished out over $10 worth of kisses at 25 cents a smooch. Mary Mulligan, R.N. offered Patty a free mononucleosis test in payment for her efforts.

Another added addition to the afternoon was a scheduled appearance and autograph signing session by Bob Dernier, of the National League champion Philadelphia Phillies. .

The clubs that joined together to create the fair type atmosphere ·include: History, Pre-Law, CEC, PSEA, CAEYC, International, Biology, Ecology, Psychology, Commuter, Photography and Campus Ministry. The representatives and officers of these organizations are greatly appreciated and thanked for their efforts.

TheatreWorkshop:

by Mike Tamburro The idea of having adequete physical fitness facilities at Cabrini College is not a new one. It was first presented to Sr. Eileen Currie, president, one and one half years ago by students, Matt Garrison and Ed O'Brien. As a result of Currie's cooperation with Garrison's and O'Brien's initiative, Cabrini's previously inadequate weight room is now well equipped.

Carrying their initiative a step further, they are now attempting to form a fitness club for all students who wish to utilize the new facilities. Pending final approval by the Student Government Association, the fitness club will be the newest student organization on campus.

According to Garrison, O'Brien and-he are seeking approval of the new club's constitution from SGA so that they may become an official club qualified for an SGA budget. This would allow them to establish exercise programs for the students, and further improve the facilities.

The intention of the fitness club is to establish means to best utilize the weight room and to be conscious of all students general physical fitness.

Garrison pointed out that the club would "benefit students who are not on athletic teams by providing a means of physical activity." Also, Garrison said, "Students on _ athletic teams could improve their physical strength to help them compete."

Every Monday this month on the 13th, 20th, and 27th from 7 to 8:30 pm in Sacred Heart Hall, rooms A and B (basement floor).

Swimming: Every Thursday this month on the 16th and 23rd from 5:45 to 8:15 pm.

Following the sports activities, the gym was transformed to a ballroom i.1 preparation for the culmination of the week~nd's events - a Post New Year's Eve Party sponsored by .the SGA Executive Board, Kappa Sigma Omega, and the Freshmen and Sophomore classes. The dance was complete with professional DJ's, including Frank Hogan, Cabrini's own radio instructor, and cash bar setups. Incorporated into the evening was an auction sponsored by the Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM). The auction in itselfraised $150. Even Dr. Zurek jarred loose for the cause by paying $45 for the purchase of a $40 party tray donated by the Wawa food market in Wayne.

The Freshmen Class held a 50/50 raffle at the dance, while Kappa Sigma Omega generously donated the supplies and proceeds from the roast beef sandwich sale.

Other contributors towards the auction and weekend included Reggie Jackson , who provided two autographed baseballs, Bloomingdales , Kaleidoscope Cards and Gifts, Real Pizza , Zipfs Ice Cream and Candy Shoppe , Wayne Sporting Goods, McDonald's, Cabrini's own Wigwam , Bookstore, and food service (Seilers ).

The New Year's Eve celebration brought in the largest profit of the entire weekend with proceeds totalling $634 .

The names of people and the contributions which were so willingly given by them , prove far to many and vast for individual recogni tion in this al r eady lengthy commentary. Nonetheless , it is these people (and they know who they are ), all working together , united as one college community , working towards the same goal , which made an activity like the Helping Hand Superthon worthwhile and a true expression of what Cabrini College is all about.

SusanDiGregorio

by Gia DiGiminiani Recalling her feelings upon receiving word of her nomination into the illustrious "Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities" yearbook, Sue DiGregorio, senior, stated, "I was very proud and honored to be elected. My father was proud also."

DiGregorio 1s a commuting Cabrini student who is juggling a triple major in Special Ed~cation, Psychology, and Elementary Education. DiGregorio, originally majoring in Special Education soley, initially became interested in psychology during her freshman year in an introductory class with Anthony Tomasco, psychology instructor and department chairperson.

DiGregorio commented, "I like psychology because it helps you to relate with all different types of people. Mr Tomasco saw that I enjoyed the course and encouraged me to major in the subject. But at the time, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it."

DiGregorio adopted psychology as a second major after studying the subject during her sophomore year under M.L. Corbin Sicoli, Phd, psychologist, who is also DiGregorio's academic advisor.

"Dr. Sicoli has been my main push. She has encouraged me to get involved in many school activities. Both Dr. Sicoli and Mr. Tomasco are good friends of mine as well as good teachers," stated DiGregorio.

Sicoli commented, "Sue is a very talentl:d student and she has much to offer. It has 0een a pleasure to have her as a student."

DiGregorio has held the office of vice president in Cabrini's Psychology Club and the college's chapter of Psi Chi, a national psychology honor society. She has also participated on the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), the Pennsylvani<t

State Educational Association, the Cabrini Honor Society, and served as a tutor for the CARe center and a teacher at Cabrini's Sunday School.

In addition, DiGregorio is also a member of the Middle States Student Advisory Committee, which plays a role in renewing accreditation to the college. "Our main functions are evaluating the faculty and updating school policies. Currently, we are working on improving teaching methods," stated DiGregorio.

'I'm basicallyhard-working.

I alwaystry my bestin everythingI attemptto do.'

- Sue DiGregorio Presently, DiGregorio is concluding her student teaching at the Lumus School for special children and will complete the semester at Paxon Hollow Junior High School.

"I am very anxious to work as a teacher. I would like to work in a mainstreaming program or in a special education elementary school," stated DiGregorio.

Tomasco commented, "Sue is a fabulous person and a topknotched student. The students who learn under her guidance are receiving the best."

When asked what aspects of herself she felt helped her achieve her election into "Who's Who," DiGregorio replied, "I'm basically hard-working. I always try my best in everything I attempt to do. I also think that having a good relationship with your teachers is very important."

Jo Harris Brenner, assistant academic dean, ' feels that the importance of selection into Who's Who is characterized by a variety of things. The first of these being that Who's Who ab~de~ ?Y na~ional criteria and is part of a national affiliation directly comc,dmg with the attached campus recognition.

Th~ _very_structured voting procedures and the fact that faculty, adm1mstratton and fellow students vote, also heightens the importance of selection into Who's Who. AFJdthe fact that the award is based on several different characteristics which a person possesses, causes the selection to gain more significance ..

Will 1984 be like '1984'

spectrum

by Robin Larkins Just when you thought you heard it all about this being 1984 -- the year of Orwellian insight come to life, along comes Loquitur attempting to say the final words on the subject.

Already a multitude of articles , cartoons, literature, media presentations , formal and informal conversations alike, have been centered arounci the mystically ti tied book, which stirs each of us to wonder - if only for a fleeting moment, whether Orwell was, indeed Just a talented author of fiction, or a prophet of reality and fate .

The arrival of the date January 1, 1984 seemed to transfigure the steady rain of hype into a downpour and flood of everything you always w,rnted to know (and not know) about Orwell, 1~84, interpretation, prophesy and analysis of the present in terms of future implications, but were afraid to ask.

Publications everywhere bearing the infamous date included their methods of covering the start of the much heralded year .

The headline of one column in the first issue of the Philadelphia ln4uirer for the new year, attempts to put the whole issue into perspective . It read : "U,84 Orwell wrote a satire, not a book of provhesy."

Another of the six articles concerning the topic in that same paper, wl!nt

no further than its lead to conclude that : "Nineteen eighty-four is deslined to be a year with a theme . It is not too early to be tired of it."

No matter how many times you look at it, there's always some kind ofsta_tement which can be derived from a situation of this kind . There 's constantly new ways of scrutinizing and interpreting what is placed before us. Ther3 are no right or wrong ways to perceive the message of Orwell in his literary creation. lt is free to be and mean whatever emotions it evokes from those who choose to read it for pleasure, reference and even curiousity .

Arthur Young, assistant professor, English and communications, will cover the text of 1984 in his ModemBritish Literature course this semester. Young commented about how people think the book was prophetic in nature and theme. He feels that Orwell was writing about what he thought was already going on in his

day.

Young does not deny the fact that this type of situation could be happening. ''The book serves as a caution and a warning, yet is not inevitable. It makes people read and think," according to Young.

The object of contoversy, interpretation, and possible prophesy. .. The 1984 Commemorative edition of George Orwell's 1984. (Photo by John Doyle)

Dr Carter Craigie, chairperson of the social science department, commented on the similarities he perceived between life as it is now, at the dawning of 1984, and life as it was depicted through the pages of the book. He sees forms of the 1984 conditions of "thought crimes," and "newspeak" extant in the world today.

"Until very recently, Argentina was a very nasty place. People would disappear because they expressed thoughts against the government, like thought crimes in 1984."

Craigie cited names of computer programs and codes as our version of newspeak, for it is in this practice that words are joined together with vowels removed.

Where does all this lead to?

Basically, while there are elements of Orwell's literary work present in our time and society, it is not all encompassing and overpowering as the tone of the book indicates.

What is in store for the immediate future in 1984 and beyond? . John N aisbitt, author of Megatrends, a book critics hail as a "field guide of the future" and "a road map to the 21st century," has his own thoughts as to where the world is headed. Naisbitt believes the world is in a transitional phase. He writes, "As we move from an industrial to an information society, we will use our brainpower to create instead of our physical power, and the technology of the day will extend and enhance our mental ability ... we must not lose sight of the need to balance the human element in the face of all that technology."

A far cry from 1984.

Yet lingering in the shadows is the ominous warning Walter Cronkite affirms in his preface to 1984, "Orwell's terrible vision has been averted ... 1984 may not arrive on time, but there's always 1985."

CAREERS

Finding a .job is hard work

by Nancy Vaden On Feb. 1, Alumni Career Day was conducted in the Widener Center Lecture Hall. The purpose of the program was to inform students about resume writing, interviewing techniques and job market options. There was also information given concerning experiences in entry level positions.

The idea to have Alumni Career Day was introduced, when alumni had a survey to find out what seniors would like to know that would be beneficial, according to Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs. The program was a joint venture between Dale and Donna Seckar, director of career counseling. The alumni cochairpersons were Michelle Waldron Daly and Lorraine DeBrodie, marketing manager for Automatic Data Processing.

The program was broken down into two parts: preparing for a job and experiences in entry level positions .

DeBrodie spoke about resume writing. She stressed that the format of a resume is important. It should be on a single typed page, keeping in mind that the hiring personnel are very pressed for time. The resume should be consistent and important items should be highlighted in bold face type. ·

Spelling and grammar should be correct. The data should During the interview you should be prepared for differinclude a summary paragraph in the beginn!ng. A listing of ent types of questions . The responses that are given should honors and extra curricular activities in school is impor- give the personnel director a positive image of your talent, tant. Most importantly, the resume should also be written education and personality. specifically to answer the ad for the job.

Cindy Howse, carrer consultant, spoke about job market options. When deciding on the type of job you would like, The purposeof the program to various things have to be taken into consideration, accordto Howse. They are, transferable skills that you enjoy informstudentsaboutresumewriting, ing doing, interests or special knowledges, geographic location, interviewing techniquesandjob market working conditions, people environment, values and goals, and salary and level of responsibiltty. options.

was

Deborah Carlin, director of personnel at Hawlett-Packard Inc., spoke about interviewing techniques. Preparation is important according to Carlin . Before going to an inter view, you shoud research the company. This is important because it shows the interviewer that you are seriously interested in the company; that you are not just there because you need a job. One way of finding pertinent information on the company and requesting an annual report.

John Derham, accountant for Rouse and Associates and Suzanne Tunney, social worker for Catholic Social Services, both Cabrini alumni, spoke about their experiences in entry level positions. One piece of advice that they both agreed on, is to ask questions if you do not understand something because you are not expected to know everything. Tunney also said that it is important to know exactly what the duties of the job that you are applying for are.

Cabrinigraduatesgive advice on gettingjobs.

by Lisa D'Ascenzo Eventually, all of us will graduate from Cabrini and face the prospect of going out into the "real world" to look for a job.

The English and communications club recently sponsored an alumni career forum on Feb. 8. Former graduates of Cabrini with English/communications degrees spoke to students about what their jobs entail and how they got them. They will also be offering advice on how to go about getting your first job.

'Makesureyouare preparedto get to knowa littleaboutthe company beforeyourinterview.'

-Fran Gordon, Cabrinialumna Bobbie Polomano, '79, is currently working several jobs. She is a media buyer at Metroplex, an advertising agency in Bala Cynwyd, a radio announcer for WNAR in Norristown and a reporter for three newspapers in Delaware county. She also does copywriting for the Franklin Mint.

"I like my writing jobs basically because I eajoy writing and I get to be creative,"

"Looking for a job is a humbling experience," Pedano said . "Everyone has grand expectations when they graduate. You have to come down a little."

"Each business and organization works in different ways. Regardless of what you've learned in college, you have to learn all over again," Pedano said. "However,

Polomano said. "Media buying is also interesting because it involves numbers and can be a mental challenge."

Polomano considers herself lucky because she didn't have too much trouble getting her jobs. She obtained h~r jobs at WNAR and at the mint through friends.

"I was hired as assistant to the president - of Metroplex and from there I was able to single out what field I liked best in the company, which turned out to be media buying. I waited a year and a half until the job came up," Polomano said.

Steve Pedano, '78, is a copywriter and account executive for the Reich Group, a direct response advertising agency in Philadelphia .

"I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do when I graduated, although I always had an interest in advertising," Pedano said.

Pedano's advice for those hunting for a job is to keep an open mind. "I wasn't going to settle for the first thing that came along, but I also wasn't going to pass up too many opportunities in order to get what I wanted," Pedano said. "By doing this, you can find areas of interest that you never even thought of."

Pedano feels a person should start off in the vein they trained for, but should not overlo6k an opportunity to get in and grow within an organization.

'Lookingfor a job is a humblingexperience.

Everyonehasgrand expectations whenthey graduate.Youhaveto come downa little.'

-Steve Pedano, Cabrinialumnus what you learn in school helps a lot. Four years of college gives you discipline and ground work to do a challenging job." ''The 'real world' is not that tough. Your experiences in school are often directly applicable to the'real world' ," Pedano said ..

Janet Gennaro Tower, '78 also advises graduates to be openminded. Tower is employed by IBM in Philadelphia, where sh~ works as a systems engineer.

''lfyou really want to do a specific thing ; there may be more than one road to getting there ," Tower said. "Don't burn any bridges behind you."

Jim Lawlor, '82, is a news reporter and writer for The Main Line Times in Wayne. ''Make a full-time job out of looking for a job," he said. "Don't just look through the paper, send out five resumes and sit back and wait for calls. Be aggressive. " _ Fran Gordon, '77, is an assistant building manager for Jackson Cross Relators in Philadelphia. She negotiates new leases with existing tenants, works with the mechanical operations of the building and answers complaints from tenants.

When looking for a job, Gordon advises a person to make a show of confidence .

"Make sure you are prepared. Get to know a little about the company before your interview ."

"Always follow up on interviews with a thank-you note or a phone call," Gordon said. "My jobs were all obtained because I followed up on them and showed interest."

"Competition is tough," Gordon said . "It helps to have something extraordinary, whether it's a personality trait or some kind of technical skill."

Wrapup: Theyearin movies which starred three big show business names, Shirley MacLaine, Jack Nicholson, and Debra Winger (Officer and a Gentleman). This story was a well acted, touching and funny story of a motherdaughter relationship which introduced a new director, James L. Brooks (Taxi).

Other very good movies were ''The Big Chill," the story ofradicals from the sixties who reunite after many years; "The Right Stuff," which was about the first space mission; and "Wargames," a well-timed movie about some teenage computer whizzes who hone in on the government's defense system. · · Also the "Star Wars" trilogy was brought to an exciting, although redundant ending with "Return of the Jedi."

This blockbuster film of special effects set records for sales in its first days of showing.

·by John Doyle Every year Hollywood brings a share of ' good, bad, important and moronic films to 'the silver screen. Let's take a look at what movies goers were offered at the theaters this year and the quality of these films.

Choosing the best film is usually the hardest because critics don't tend to agree with each other on their choices, except in special cases.

In 1983, there were several excellent movies. My pick though for the most outstanding film is "Terms of Endearment,"

Starring all of its originai characters , played by Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, R2-D2, and C-3PO, "Jedi" viewers were also finally allowed to see Darth Vadar's face.

With all of these good movies came of ,flood ofless commendable ones.

1983 was the year for sequels, and unfortunately not very good ones. There was "Smokey Is the Bandit," (with Jackie Gleason and without Burt Reynolds)., "Superman 3," "Amityville 3D," "Jaws 3D," and two Pink Panther sequels.

The faddish 3-D movies arose from the grave to haunt our screens. Rocks, spears and body parts flew into the laps of unsuspecting movie goers; and I thought that 3-D had been locked away in the 1950's.

Not only were these boring repetitions terrible, but the romantic comedies also left much to be desired. I myself, love a good romantic or simply farcical comedy, but this year was awful.

"Dr. Detroit, " starrmg Dan Akroyd~ broke his Hypocritic Oath by making me sick; "Deal of the Century" was more deadly than the weapons in it; and -"The Toy" gave Jackie Gleason yet another bad movie to add to an almost never-ending list; even Richard Pryor could not save this

movie.

My personal pick for this year's very worst movie though, was "A Night in Heaven ." Starring Christopher Atkins (Blue Lagoon), this movie almost received an X-rating for its steamy love scenes.

Atkins plays a college student who, while working his way through school by performing on the strip circuit (hmmm) has an affair with his English professor (Elizabeth Ashley).

Yet, all of these bad films are not the only reason for the low quality of the year's movies. There were no outstanding lead actors, and only a few quality lead actresses. The year was almost barren of fine acting.

After reviewing the year in movies, I can only hope that the movie makers in Tinsletown pull themselves together and begins to produce a good product once again.

"Terms of Endearment" and "Return of the Jedi" proved that good movies make money. Let 's hope Hollywood learns this.

Show your loveto all those special Valentines There are those who, for a variety ofreasons, believe that Valentine's Day should be non-existent.

Some believe that it makes those who are not in love depressed and lonely.

by Doris Hickman So you thought the holidays were over.

Well, don't look now but Valentine's Day is almost here, and I'll bet you still hayen't decided on a present for your sweetheart yet .

February 14 is a day set aside for all of the lovers in the world. For those in love and for those who hope to fall in love, it is a day looked upon with great anticipation .

This is a day to show that "special someone" what they mean to you.

them; people like your parents, friends and relatives. It doesn't just have to be your boyfriend or girlfriend ." .But Ricca said, "Some people get depressed if they aren't going out with someone . They feel alone," Ricca said .

"While I like Valentine 's Day, I also believe that you shouldn 't put just one day aside for telling someone that you love them . It should be all year round."

Sandy Cabot, junior , agrees. Cabot said , "It is silly to set aside one day for showing each other how you feel."

Another student feels the day has lost its meaning and is too commercialized. Mike

'Valentine's Day is a timeto showpeoplethatyouare closeto thatyoucareabout them.' " -Bonnie Zischang, sophomore

Karen Ricca, sophomore, said, "At my house, my mother, sister and I buy flowers for the whole family to enjoy."

Jean Whyte, freshman, said, "Our family celebrates Valentine's Day by having a party."

Duska, junior, said, "I think the day was planned by Hallmark."

Did you ever wonder if the romance leaves Valentine's Day for older people or after years of marriage? Bonnie Zischang, sophomore, said, "My father still buys my mom a dozen red roses every year. The romance is still there."

Valentine's Day can be as special as you make it. It can be a time to show the important people in your life how you really feel; but remember to show love and appreciation for them the rest of the year, too.

New equipmentimprovesweight room "We want the people here at Cabrini to be able to come to us and we will put them on a schedule designed to fit his or her individual needs," O'Brien added. "We want to turn it into a total fitness program."

Jazzercise and aerobic classes will be offered as a part of the program. The jazzercise class will be conducted by Lisa Bellano, a freshman from Cherry Hill, NJ. Bellano worked for Figure Magic in South Jersey as an instructor and attendant for two years.

by Shelagh McGinn In order to keep up with the American fitness craze, Cabrini is developing a weight room comparable to that of a professional gym.

In September of 1983, Matt Garrison, junior, and Eddie O'Brien, senior, submitted a proposal to Sr. Eileen Currie, president of the college . They requested funds to purchase an olympic bench to replace the antiquated one, a complete set of dumbbells ranging from five pounds to 70 pounds , and 600 pounds of weights.

Garrison, who is presently half-owner of a gym in Lindwold, NJ, and on the staff of the Phoenix Fitness Club in Wayne, PA, was disgusted with the condition of the weight room. i'When I first came to Cabrini," Garrison said, "I wanted to train, but I couldn't. The basic problem was that there was no real equipment to train on."

Originally, the weight room consisted of outdated benches and plastic weights.

"The weights were not conducive for strengthening muscles," O'Brien said.

"They were made of plastic so they were more like toys than weights."

An archaic Universal machine completed the list of equipment.

The machine did not function properly because essential parts of the machine were missing . Garrison and O'Brien felt that it was important for the school to have a modernized weight room. They felt that too much

'We're here to take the weight room and turn it into a fitness program for the school' -Matt Garrison, junior "I ·taught classes and gave weight seminars as well as demonstrating the weight equipment for the members of the club " Bellano said. ' Sister Eileen Currie was very influential in the establishment of the weight room.

"If it wasn't for Sr. Eileen's enthusiasm and strive for this weight room, we would never have been able to_have_it," Garrison said.

'I think if is time for the school to expand' -Ed O'Brien, senior Pictured is the new exercise bike and olympic bench purchased to expand the weight room facilities located in Sacred Heart Hall. (photo by John Doyle) emphasis was placed on basketball and not enough on other extra-curricular activities .

'What we want is to help people at Cabrini firm up, trim down, build up, whatever they want' -Matt Garrison, junior

"I think it is time for the school to expand," O'Brien said. "Everything here revolves around academics and the basketball team, the rest of the activities seem to take a back seat. Yet, it is known that personal fitness cannot be ignored ."

The increasn~g CPIJ_lPetition m Cabrmis men's basketball schedule has led to nine regular season losses. The 1982-83 team only lost six games last season . According to John Dzik, head coach of the men's basketball team, and several players , the upgrading of the schedule has also led to a better team.

The Cavalier record is presently twelve wins and nine losses. Having won 7 of their last nine games, the Cavaliers boast a 4-0 record in their inaugural season as an

Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference member.

During the Christmas break, the Cavaliers travelled to the midwest as participants in the first annual National Catholic Basketball Tournament, held in Dubuque, Iowa.

In the first round of this 16 team tournament, the Cavaliers defeated the Sixers of Viterbro with a score of 64-60. In the second round of the tourney the Cavaliers fell to the host team, Loras College, with the score of 92-72.

Womanface challenge of upper division b-ball

by Bonnie Zischang The women's basketball team has had 11 games so far with five wins and six losses .

Coach Mike Tenaglia comments, "If we score 500 points this year, then it will be considered a good year."

Tenaglia believes that every game played is tough and the team is reaching higher levels of competence. "This year we are playing more upper division teams who will be harder to beat," he said . But Tenaglia has confidence in his team while he is able to see their good points as well as bad points .

One.positive aspect is the team's youth; there are two junior co-captains and four starters returning this year. The team only lost one graduate last year .

"One thing the team lacks is intensity," Tenaglia said. "The girls don't have the true desire to be the best." Another weakness is bench depth. During a game, the best players are on the floor. The girls on the bench can be sent in but they don't have the experience that older more experienced players have.

The two co-captains,juniorsEileen Herbig and Lisa Hurst are considered the heart and soul of the team.

Herbig comments, "We had a couple of losses and our confidence is a little low right now but we are going to start picking up from here." Herbig went on to say, "We have a lot of talented people. All we need to do is start playing tough."

Hurst believes that the problem may be an absence of seniors. "The younger players just don't have the experience that the team needs although potential is there," said Hurst. Also, the team doesn't share rhythm. "It gets frustrating when we're losing. We must remember that our attitude makes ~ big difference," Hurst said.

can't be measured by wins and losses. It has to be measured by the strides taken , , where the team came from," said Tenaglia . ' "This team will be the best by the time they are ready to graduate," sa~d Tenaglia.

"The trip to the NCBT was a great experience for the entire program," Dzik said, ''but the results could have been a little different ."

After defeat in Iowa, the Cavaliers came back to the east coast to defeat Lincoln University, 55-54. The Cavaliers then played the best game of their season against St.Francis of Loretto. The strength of this Division I opponent proved to be too much and the Cavaliers were defeated.

Though the Cavaliers were defeated, Dzik feels that this was the team's best effort all season. "Ifwe could play like this against all our opponents," Dzik said, "we would never lose to those teams on our level."

The Cavaliers were able to string together three impressive victories since their defeat to St. Francis. Each win was by ten points or more . The first win was over Juniata College. Cabrini defeateas Juniata 72-62 in a major come back effort after being down four at the half.
