Summer's last hurrah The Cabrini East dorms were the site of the poolside picnic which took place on Sunday, Sept.23. This event was sponsored by Woodcrest and Cabrini East to commence the activities of "Cabrini East Week." The primary purpose of the picnic was to get Cabrini campus residents better acquainted with the Cabrini East community. Jeanne Boyle, senior, attempts to slice the watermelon over the head of brave Bert Siwak, senior, with the assistance of Chuck Cesare, senior and Pat McKenna, sophomore. This autumn day brought unusual, sultry September weather that contributed to the success of the picnic. The picnickers played volleyball, ate hot dogs,hamburgers, and other snacks supplied by Seiler's food service. A shuttle van service transported the students to and from Cabrini East.

pus by Gia DiGiminiani Parent s Weekend , an annual Cab r ini event, is marked this year by its expansion, which includes a wider range of activities , and the movement of three of the weekend's events to an off-campus location. This year's Parents Weekend is scheduled to be held tomorrow and Sunday. More lectures and presentations have been added to the weekend's schedule to cater to a wider variety of interest, but the change which has gained the most attention is the moving of the traditional Saturday evening events , which are the dinner, the President's Reception, and the dance, to the Adam's Mark Hotel, located on City Line Avenue in Philadelphia. These events had previously been held on the Cabrini campus with the dinner catered by Seiler's food service, and the dance taking place in the school gymnasium. The changes implemented have been attributed to the increased enrollment of the college, according to Dr. Carter ·Craigie, chairperson of the social science department, and senior, Lori DiMeglio, who are the adviser and president, respectively, of Kappa Sigma Omega, the Cabrini service organization. This organization has played an important role in the execution of Parents Weekend in the course of the group's history.

Craigie stated, "Kappa's primary function is to work to support the admission 's office,give guided tours of the campus, and act as the hosts and hostesses of campus functions ." Craigie continued , "Kappa has input into the master plan of the college in the admissions effort."

The decisionwas made withthe parentsin mind. We try to make it as nicean eveningas possible.' -Lori DiMeglio, presidentof KappaSigma Omega "We simply do not have the facilities to house the number of people who will be attending Parents Weekend," Lori DiMeglio stated. "Moving the Saturday evening events off-campus should make for a better evening for all." DiMeglio continued, "The decision was made with the parents in mind. We try to make it as nice an evening as possible." Craigie said that the events were moved off-campus to invite more participation.

DeMeglio also noted that by having the dinner and dance at the Adam 's Mark Hotel, the Kappa members will have more time to spend with their parents than if these events were being held on campus . Cragie said that the decision to move the Saturday evening events off campus occurred in a meeting during the past spring semester. The meeting involved the Kappa executive officers, Sr. Eileen Currie, M.S.C., president of Cabrini College, Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, Elizabeth McIntosh, director of development, John Heiberger, Jr., vicepresident for development and public relations and Sr. Christine Marie Baltas, M.S.C., dean of students. Such meetings have been routine for the planning of each Parents Weekend. The Kappa officers were asked to find accomodations off campus. Many establishments in the Radnor area, along with the Adam's Mark Hotel, were considered, but most had already been reserved for that particular weekend. However, the Adam's Mark was finally decided upon for its elegant atmosphere and for its easy accesibility. City Line Avenue is a direct route between Cabrini and the Adam's Mark, and the drive is approximately fifteen minutes. This year, however, is not the first time that these events have been held off-campus, as noted by Craigie. The dinner and

dance had first been held off-campus during the early 1970s for a period of two years. "We thought it would be different," Craigie stated in response to this first tran sition. "It was fun for a while, but we moved these events back on campus after the cafeteria had been redecorated. This caused a new sense of pride in the beauty of the campus." In general, most of the Cabrini students are excited about the change, and feel that it will be positive. Despite the advantages of an off-campus dinner and dance, many members of Kappa Sigma Omega are dissatisfied with the decision. Many feel that the change detracts from the true ideal of Parents Weekend, and are indignant by the fact that they did not have input into the decision. "Adecision was made. I don't feel that we should reflect upon that now, but instead concentrate on making Parents Weekend the best it can be," DiMeglio stated. ''.After Parents Weekend, we can look back and evaluate it, decide what we could have done differently, or how we could have made the weekend better. All in all, the weekend should be a positive experience for everyone."

Teachingcertificate vs. field experience by Mark M. Magner

by Robin Larkins

One of the first questions that runs through a student's mind when attending a class is: why should I believe this professor? What makes their word gospel? When we first meet a professor, we can not be sure whether they are only quoting a text book, or if what they are teaching us is up to date or accurate. For this reason, a professor with professional experience in the field which they are teaching will have an aura of credibility.

A successful professional is a person who understands the field in which they are employed and the role which they play within that field. Along those lines, ideally, there's more to a teacher than sheer knowledge alone. It is when the successful professional, because of sheer knowledge, enters into the realm of teaching that a major skepticism comes into mind. This skepticism centers around whether this person possesses those teaching qualities indicative to learning which students so actively seek in their learning process and which are so desperately needed in order to fulfill the educational purposes of course offerings. An wholistic approach should be applied when screening and selecting possible instructors for specific courses. Neither extreme should prevail where the instructor only possesses knowledge and relatability within his or her field of specialization, or where the instructor possesses strict adherence to textbook rules and theorems and little practical relatability. This balance can be assured by a monitoring program set up by a department head in the area which a new lecturer is hired. In this way classroom interaction and instruction could be observed and ongoing student feedback and evaluation of these lecturers, for the most part who teach only one or two courses, could take place. It is true that it does matter who you know out in the real world, but it's equally as important to have basic knowledge of the theories and workings of your desired areas of interests- which is one of the primary purposes of the educational process in preparation for life beyond the gates of school.

Of course, two plus two will always equal four and there will only be one way to spell Mississippi. For this reason, I understand that field experience will not enrich every college professor's teaching wisdom, but for many other fields besides English and math, a little field experience can add a lot of credibility to a professor.

Since credibility is so extremely important to college professors, I believe that those in rapidly evolving fields such as computer science, television and advertising need constant field experience to keep updated with technological advances. A student facing a career in a competitive and quickly changing field, appreciates the honesty of a professor that has experienced the real-world and can be confident of the fact that the professor's knowledge is more up to date than the information in the textbook. At the very least, a professor with professional experience has contacts in the field and can introduce students to the right people. After all in many careers it isn't what you know that counts ...it's who you know!

letters

To the editor, I write on behalf of the t,esident staff of Counsel Hall to express our thanks t~all those residents who organized the very successful Counsel Coffee Cafe. The initiative, enthusiasm and hard work which made the evening possible makes us proud to be associated with the men of Counsel. In particular, the efforts of the hall council, ably coordinated by Denis Bourgeau, made for an evening which will be remembered by all who attended. We salute you all, gentlemen, and anticipate a year of activities which will be a legendary part of the annals of Cabrini College. Bert Siwak, John Doyle, Brendan Mullan

corrections In the Sept.14 issue ofLoquitur concerning campus security, Captain Daniel Smith, Cabrini security officer, was mistakenly described as an eight-year veteran of the Pittsburgh police department. The sentence should have read, "Before coming to Cabrini, Captain Daniel Smith was employed for eight years as an auxiliary police officer for a suburban police · department outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania."

Most of us remember "Leave It To Beaver." You know, Wally, Eddie Haskell, June and Ward. But, how many ofus remember the Beav's grade school teacher? How many people know where Batman and Robin lived? How long did the Hundred Years War last? Answer number one: Miss Landers; answer number two: Gotham City; answer three: 115 years. This is a mere sampling of the questions that are found in the new board game Trivial Pursuit; there are 5,998 others. By now, just about everybody has heard of the game. Trivia is the latest craze and Trivial Pursuit is just the beginning. Other copies and variations have quickly developed. You can now buy Rock Trivia, Sexual Trivia, Dictionary Trivia, Celebrity Trivia, M*A*S*H Trivia, Junior Trivia, and the People and Time magazines' trivia games. Who knows what they'll come up with next. The fun part of playing Trivial Pursuit is guessing. Many of the questions can only be answered by taking an off-the-wall connection and guessing. I don't know how I knew that the world leader to hold his nation's boxing title for several years was Idi Amin. Trivial Pursuit is very challenging since it tests not the broad-based facts that you learned in history class , but rather the "cocktail party" tidbits that Dr. Girard would throw into a discussion. Example : who was Time magazine's Man of the Year in 1938? Adolph Hitler, of course. On top ofit all, you learn from the game, too. I now know, and probably always will, that nobody won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1942-it was a war year. I have also committed to memory the fact that there are 1,792 steps in the Eiffel Tower. (I was asked the question four times.) Now ifl could just remember my French conjugations ....

Nation'senrollmentdeclining: Cabriniis not followingthe trend affairs , attributes this mostly to the fact that fewer people are graduating from high schools, because of the decrease in the high school population. There are many different , complex reasons for the decline in college enrollment . However, closer to home , why is Cabrini's enrollment moving in the opposite direction . John Dzik , director of admissions, attributes this to many different components. Cabrini today has a higher visibility in our marketplace , since the school has beerr around longer ; there _fore with

by B.J. Petracci

Cabrini College's enrollment is continuing to increase , while some other college's are dropping or at least slightly declining. Along with a larger number of students coming to Cabrini right out of high school, continuing education has grown and more transfer students have started coming into the college. Despite this upward trend at Cabrini though, according to many education magazines , Pennsylvania is one of the most troubled states as far as declining enrollment. The east coast in particular is suffering the worst .

each year that passes there are more Cabrini graduates out in the work force. Dzik believes that with the stronger admissions recruiting staff and being on the forefront ofradio ads, Cabrini College's name is being more easily recognized . Also attributing to name recognition is the representation of the fine arts department, awards being won by the communications department and an increa sed athletic department .

There is no substitute for hard work and that is why Cabrini's enrollment is increasing.' -John

Dzik,

Dzik also gives credit to the faculty and staff for being so supportive of admissions. Finally , Dzik said , ''There is no substitute for hard work and that is why Cabrini's enrollment is increasing. "

The decrease for many colleges' enrollment lies with the students who are coming right out of high school. Dr. Joseph Romano, vice president for academic

THEOFFICEOF

According to Romano and financial aid , more people have been receiving scholarships . The actual dollar amount has not increased , but the number of students recieving that amount has increased . Romano said, "Cabrini College's financial aid works on a J.S. Mill's Utilitarian Principle, the greatest good for the greatest number ." Also new Presidential Scholarships have been added in the last five years. In the athletic department , there has not been an increase in athletic grants given to the students by the college. According to Dzik no athlete receives a grant unless they have proved that they have a need for it .

was when my friends took me through the college and told me about it, that I decided that here is where I wanted to go." Making up for any loss there may be in the number of students enrolling in college immediately after high school is the increase in the number of continuing education students . Meredyth A. Leahy, director of continuing education, said, "On the average in some schools, close to fifty percent of the student population is twentyfive and older." Cabrini's isn't quite that high, but there has been an increase in the number of continuing education students enrolled in the school.

On the average in some schools, close to fifty percent of the student population is continuing education. -Meredyth A. Leahy,

Cabrini 's admissions standards really has not affected the increase in enrollment . Dzik said, "Cabrini is looking for allaround students." Academics is the priority, but the college does not want onesided students. SAT scores ofincoming students,is equal to the national average of college-bound seniors. Of course the best promotion for any college is word of mouth. Mike Finn , freshman, said, "I first heard of Cabrini through Dzik and the athletic department . But it

Were it not for the higher number of continuing education students, many schools might not be surviving this problem of decreasing enrollment.

SGA revises its budget by Mary Beth Evich Changes have taken place in the 1984-85 Student Government Association constitution. These changes have taken place in the representation of clubs and organizations, the budget committee and the social activities committee. One change that has taken place in the representation of clubs is that now, all clubs under SGA will be required to have a representative present at each meeting. This person will be responsible for submitting minutes of club meetings to SGA and will be considered a voting member of SGA. In order for a club or organization to be recognized by SGA, they must comply with the following specific guidelines: ethey must present a constitution and an explanation for the needs of the club to SGA within the first four SGA meetings each semester •they must explain the purpose of the club or organization and list its officers and their duties. Jean Findley, senior, treasurer ofSGA, is the chairperson of the budget committee. Findley said, "My responsibilities include handling class funds which are used by the classes for their functions along with the budget committee." The treasurer is responsible for the permanent records of the funds received and disbursed by the association. The treasurer must also make all financial information available to all members of the SGA and campus community through regular budget reports. The SGA is given a budget each semester by the college. The SGA has been allotted approximately $15,000 for the 1984-1985 academic school year. The budget is divided in half. Approximately $7,500 is put into a money market account and the remainder of the budget is distributed to various SGA organizations. This amount is distributed per

Compaiqn

semester to each class, club and organizaton; the general entertainment fund (which includes Sophomore/Senior Farewell and Junior/Senior Weekend, among other activities); the social activities committee and other needs that arise during the school term.

My responsibilitiesinclude handling class funds which are used by the classesfor their functionsalong with the budget committee.' -Jean Findley, SGA treasurer

Money for the Student Activities Committees Fund is determined by the Executive Board from the budget allocated to SGA for the purpose of student activities. The Student Activities Committee provides a forum for the expression and representation of student ideas and interests concerning activities and act as a coordinator of activities fostered by those suggestions. An example of the some of the extra expenses SGA encounters include: the recent construction of the sidewalk connecting Infante and McManus houses, the donation of the Kroy lettering machine for sign making and the newly purchased covering for the gym floor.

Committee to define liberal arts goals by LarryAquino

For over two_years, the Curriculum Commitee, a group of faculty and students of Cabrini College, have been meeting to discuss the values, qualities, and skills that liberal arts students should possess. Members of the Curriculum Committee include Margaret Reher, chairperson of the religion department as well as the Curriculum Committee, Sharon Schwarze, chairperson of the philosophy department, John DeTurck, professor of biology, Anthony Thmasco, chairperson of the psychology department, Sister Julia Toto, secondary education coordinator and Kathleen Daley, professor of social science . Student representatives are Karen Ricca, junior and Joan Johnson, senior. The purpose of the Curriculum Committee is to encourage the personal development of the Cabrini student and to enable that student to leave the college with a ran_geof career choices. Thmasco said, "Our job in the Curriculum Committee is to: •help identify and clarify the goals and objectives we all share in the education of college undergraduates; •to contribute to the evaluation process which determines in part whether we are reaching our goals and objectives; •to offer comments, suggestions, and programs which would help improve the curriculum." ·The foundation for Cabrini's model was generated from suggestions submitted by the entire faculty. Reher said, ''The very impetus for curriculum study came from a result of a campus wide survey which was developed by Professor Douglass Heath of Haverford College." In the summer of1982, Joseph Romano, vice president for academic affairs, Sister Eileen Currie, M.S.C., president, and several faculty members attended a workshop which was geared around the theme "What will your college bring to the future?" The workshop helped make the decision that ''Cabrini should form a curriculum committee to determine the desirable characteristics of a liberally educated person,"Reher said . Toto, said, ''The faculty and the Curriculum Committee are currently working on the proposed model for the liberally educated person. We are also planning two faculty workshops this semester help clarify our goals and objectives."

Do you have a ·healthy-self-image? by Laura Przywara

It doesn't often occur to us, but a bumper sticker on the back of a car can reveal a lot about a person, their character and perceptions. We see anything from "I love my cat" to "I love the Phillies." Rarely do we see "I love myself' because this message brings to mind a negative view of the person as being conceited and selfish. There is a difference between liking yourself because you enjoy the person that you are and loving yourself to the point of selfishly disregarding other people. Saying "I love myself' is a positive expression that everyone should be able to say if they like their self-image.

A healthyself-imageis when the individualfeels in controland satisfiedwith himself. According to Dr. Barbara Harris, a psychologist at the counseling center, a healthy self-image is when the individual feels in control and satisfied with himself. Harris stressed the "individuality" of selfimages because there is not a set criteria. A bad self-image, on the other hand, is caused by the individual feeling that his problems are something the individual cannot control and change. Weight loss and poor grades are examples. "People try to do things well," stated Harris, "If you feel that you aren't succeeding or can't control it, then you feel bad about yourself." People at any age encounter problems that alter their self-image . What seems traumatic to us now can be dealt with much easier as_;iv~ 1evelop.

· Not everyone can say that they are comfortable with themselves, particulary during college years when many people experience an identity crisis . "It is normal," explained Harris, "for college students to be changing; it is part of normal :levelopment. Students are constantly working on themselves-it's part of the experience." We are all born with one gift that no one else can ever possess, the potential to be "me". We decide who we want to be and we should be proud of what we make of ourselves . When asked about her selfimage, Mary Beth Cunney, junior, stated, "It has taken me a long, long time to begin liking myself. I envy people who do like themselves because it is so hard to develop a good, healthy self image." "I think I have a good self-image," commented John Walden, junior. "Why should anyone not like themselves?" Sophomore Karen Rider stated, "I feel wonderful. I am really happy with myself because I worked on myself for a long time. Most importantly, my faith in God has given me a lot of confidence and inner strength." ------------

, : ' '

Once you believein "you", nothingcan stop you from gettingwhat you want out of life. "I feel great about myself," said .Zina Wilson, junior. "I like who I am!" The key to success is being able to love yourself. · . Once you believe in yourself, nothing can Senior Karen Pote reflects on how she sees herself in comparison to how s~opyou from getting what you want out of other people see her. , (photo by Debbie Kidon) hfe.

Life on and off the ice : Studentcombinespro-skatingand college by Bonnie Zischang She began her skating career when she was only four years old. With assiduous practice, the blonde haired skater com1 bines the beauty of movement with strict discipline to perfect her creative ability. Domenique Butterfield, freshman, is a professional ice skater. She participated in . a number of competitions throughout her four years at Highland High School in New York.

Profile: Dom'enique Butterfield "In the winter I used to practice skating · on ponds. My mom would come along and bring her skates and I would teach her all .. the techniques I learned from my skating instructors," said Butterfield. Butterfield previously skated in competitions, but has now turned professional. One reason w~ because she felt that there was more pressure skating as an amateur. i This added pressure came from coaches _!aoi....,...__,..;.;,~insisting that she perfect a routine as they wanted. As a professional, Butterfield felt freer to do the routines she was comfortable with, and get paid for skating and Off the ice,Domenique attends classes teaching. and works part time (in the Wigwam) But the underlying reason for her conlike any average college student. . version was prompted by a misfortunate accident that happened a year ago, on a (photo by Mark Viggiano) foggy, cold night in Lake Placid.

"I was practicing with my coach and preparing to do a one-and-a-half revolution when I slipped, fell and landed on my hip," said Butterfield as she pointed to her upper right hip. "I had what they diagnosed as a herniated disk and I temporarily lost the feeling in my leg." But this did not discourage Butterfield from pressing on with her goals. After some amount of therapy, she was on skates again, practicing figure eights and teaching her own class of potential skaters. One might wonder how she managed to combine an active high school schedule, its academic work and social activity with a sport that demands sheer physical prowess and a great amount of dedicated discipline. "I never would have done it without my parents. They are great because they helped me so much," said Butterfield. In a reflective moment, she recalls what it was like to skate and resume the normal life of a high school student . "My father would wake up at 6:00 on school mornings to take me to my skating practice until 8:00 when school started . Then after school I would practice some more from 4:00 till about 6:30." Butterfield doesn't feel that she was any different from her friends or that she missed out on anything because she was so absorbed in her skating. She explained that she had all the fun anyone would in high school. She went to her proms and even was a cheerleader. With gratitude in her voice, Butterfield commented on her thankfulness to her parents for caring enough to want her to have the best of both worlds.

Butterfield's love for skating is warmly conveyed by the gleam in her friendly, brown eyes. "Skating is a different kind of sport. It's not everyday that you run into a figure skater." Skating has also given her the opportunity to meet glamorous skaters from the Olympics and Ice Capades. Butterfield also mentioned that she tried out for the Ice Capades and Walt Disney on ice. "The Ice Capades told me to come back in November but I feel rather indecisive because I love going to school and being at Cabrini," she said. Keeping fit is essential for Butterfield and since she is very energetic , she often can be found e~ercising in her dorm room. She teaches dance classes at her home in New York and also instructs others in figure skating. "I really love teaching. My group ranges in age from five to an elderly woman of64," said Butterfield. She added, ''I took off a year after high school before coming to Cabrini, which gave me a chance to find permanent students for holidays and school breaks." Butterfield is an English and communications major and she plans to 'have a career in advertising. Butterfield seems confident about her future plans as she enthusiastically concludes, ''I may not have an Olympic medal around my neck but I have professional skating status, and I'm in college trying to build a different career for myself."

Playerstransmitdepthin one-actdramas

by Kathleen A. Breslin Tonight marks the opening of two one-act plays in the Little Theater, and moms and dads here for Parents Weekend may be amazed at what has been accomplished in a scant three weeks since classes began.

Daniele Perna, director of the theater said, "This is the best casting we've ever had. I just casted the last part last Wednesday." Sophomore Keith Fogarty, was selected by Perna for his sensitive reading during an audition for "Bury the Dead." In this play by Irwin Shaw, he

portrays one of six dead soldiers who refuses to be buried. Fogarty recalls life's simple pleasures in a poignant scene with Virginia Smith. She plays Fogarty's girlfriend who is summoned to convince him to accept his fate. The setting for Shaw's powerful drama is complete

blackness, according to Assistant Director Smith. Mood is created by the dialogue. The male-female relationships which evolve as the play progresses are the focus of attention. Throughout this single week of rehearsal, actors and actresses assembled at the theater whenever their schedules permitted. Barbara Bruhin, senior and the sole performer in Eugene O'Neill's "Before Breakfast," has prepared throughout the summer for her role as Mrs. Rowland, a discontent and domineering wife who drives her husband to despair. With her ability to improvise, Bruhin is not worried about forgetting her lines in a part for which there are no cues. "It doesn't scare me, because when I perform I am another person," said Bruhin reassuringly. Bruhin's imposing stature enhances her ability to portray a strong female character, as the role

demands. These thought-provoking plays contrast sharply to the lighter festivities planned for Parents' Weekend. "Bury the Dead" and "Before Breakfast" were not necessarily chosen with the parents' visit in mind, Perna said. "They may think they're too morbid, but this is college-level material," he pointed out. The presentation of the oneact plays signals the opening of Cabrini's theater productions for this school year. All are invited to witness what can be done with a little time and a lot of talent.

Both piays will be shown free of charge in the Little Theater on Friday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 29 at 3:30 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. This schedule willbe repeated on the following weekend.

Roomies.learnto cope by improvingcommunication byBernadette Demski Except for some strewn luggage and haphazardly placed boxes, I was by myself in the back seat ofmy parents' station wagon. We were ascending the long Cabrini driveway and getting closer by the second. The closer we approached Cabrini, the tighter my stomach became. Only one word, one thought was spinning like a cyclone in my head. This single mode of anticipation could be attributed to the uncertainty of who my roommate would be. Being put into unfamiliar surroundings with unfamiliar people can prove to be traumatic for some freshmen . Having a roommate, however, is unavoidable in a college setting. Aside from the hassels of buying books, the adjustment to Cabrini food, the wonder and worry of "how will I ever pass this course," one of the major anxieties of a freshman is the concern about getting along and dealing with a roommate. According to Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life, one of the major problems this year is the lack of awareness and sensi ti vi ty towards a roommate, or roommates, as the case may be. Living in a triple can be difficult. The basic problem being that two of the three usually hit it off, while one is left out in the cold. Lori Pilarz,junior and second floor resident assistant in Wood.crestHall, summed it up as the "two against one syndrome." Pilarz also stated that roommates should not ignore problems, since this builds up a hostile attitude. "When things happen, take care of it then, do not wait," stated .Pilarz. '

psychology department, contributed some helpful hints for a happier roommate relationship. •Roommates should be honest enough with each other to be able to have good insight into one another. Behavior on both sides should be moderated to accommodate the other roommate. If roommates play power or attention games with each other, a potentially good relationship may be doomed for failure. •Rommates should be willing to work out differences . For example, if one likes going to bed early and the other is a night owl, they should work out an agreement, such as low lights and quiet music . The agreement should consist of a respective Above is John Doyle, a resident . assistant at Council Hall, mediating a and sensitive attitude, to apply to the other discussion between two freshman roommates.

Voting:

It can be a responsibilityor privilege by Joan Kramer

Election Day, Nov. 6, 1984: the political campaign nears the finish line. Students have various reasons for voting or not voting . Some have strong political stands, and believe that voting is an obligation, not just an option. Senior John Doyle, a communications and political science major feels that it is imperative for the college student to vote, but also said that, "students encounter many problems with voting. Doyle said, "They don't know where and how to vote or how to obtain an absentee ballot or (they sometimes) are not informed enough about the candidates." He also felt that some students are apathetic and don·t want to waste their time at the polls. Other students feel that voting is a political privilege that requires active participation especially by minority groups, those who live in a so-called "double-standard"

society. Freshman Sylvia Bruni said, "You have the right to vote and should, especially women and blacks ." Some students do notregard voting as important and belie".e that it is not imperative to register and cast a ballot, especially ifit does not take priority . Junior Karen Mitchell said, "Sometimes I just cannot find the time to register because of my workload." Students are uninformed and sometimes misinformed about where to register, to vote, and obtain absentee ballots . Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities said, "If you are not registered in Pennsylvania and want to register, you can obtain a form at Cabrini on Oct.1. There will be New Jersey forms and Pennsylvania forms from Montgomery, Delaware and Philadelphia counties." If the students do not take advantage of Cabrini's day for voter registration, there js always the opportunity at the

Petslessenowners'stress, increa.se neighbors' by Karen Bowers

Many students are finding that stress is part of a normal living of the full-time college student. To help us get through the problem of stress, it is a good feeling to know that our friends are there to help us out. We also learn that our friends cannot always be there by our side. It is a proven fact that pets reduce stress. Some students on the Cabrini campus do have pets and say that their pets really help them out by being a part of their resident life. Other than stress, there are a few reasons why some students at Cabrini ignore the student handbook, and continue to keep pets in their dorm. One student, who wishes to remain anonymous, gave her opinion about keeping her pet on campus. She said, "I live far from home and it is easy for me to get homesick. Having my pet on campus is like having a part of home on campus with me. I keep my pet clean, and he gives me something to take care of other than school work." Another pet owner said, "I can understand a rule against having dogs and cats on campus, but there is nothing wrong with having a fish, hampster or any other small animal, just as long as you keep them clean and they don't disturb others." The director ofresident life, Mary Ellen Lilly said, "I am an animal lover myself and I can understand and relate to the feelings of some of the pet owners on cam-

liquor store . According to James Hedtke, instructor of political science, "Mail-in voter registration forms can be obtained at any liquor store." Students who do not know where to vote , can call the Radnor Township Municipal Building. · Students who are registered in other states , but want to vote in Pennsylvania, can also obtain an absentee ballot from any municipal building, such as the county courthouse, school or fire department. Statistics show that citizens between the ages of18-20 are not part of 1,he majority voting population. In 1980, the Bureau of the Census report showed that around thirty-five percent of the people in this age group voted. _ The election in 1984 can be a new beginning, a time to change that statistic ,' and voting now just might make a change in your life the next four years.

Lilly said, "Even if the students did keep their pets clean, there would still be a problem. There are too many people and tight corners. There would be a definite health hazard if every one decided to have a pet." Lilly continued, "This summer a cat was kept in one of the houses. The cat made such a mess that the rug had to be steam cleaned." There are, obviously, students who keep . pets on campus anyway. What would happen if those students were caught? Lilly said, "If a student was caught with a pet his room, they would be asked to get rid ofit."

Contrary to popular belief, male amd female athletes do not possess any major differences in the way they prepare both mentally and physically for sporting events. Granted, women running around .chewing tobacco on the playing field is a highly uncommon sight, but then again so is the possibility of spotting a man whose mascara is running . But these are just trivial differences . Lorraine Lasorsa, a:member of the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science field hockey team and a member of the Pennsylvania state champion Exceptance Associates of America, a Norristown based women's softball team, says that the mental preparation for a sporting event usually consists of a brief pep talk from the coach followed by a team cheer. Usually the cheer will be something original like, "Let 's go!" Thomas Dodds, assistant coach of the Upper Merion high school boys soccer team said, "Coach Baxter (the head coach) gathers the team into a huddle and gives a short but inspiring psyche talk which is followedby a team cheer. Then the boys psyche up each other with a lot of handshakin~ and high fives."

7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m.

So far male and female athletes seem to mentally prepare for an event in very similar ways. But how does physical preparation differ? . Different sporting events may require different types of calisthenics. When it gets down to the nitty gritty, women will train just as hard and just as long as the men . "The only thing we do not do as hard as the men do is weight training," said Lasorsa. "Otherwise, we will run just as hard and practice just as long." Dodds, who has coached both men and women, agrees that women will train just as hard. "The only differenc~ is that women are very emotional, more sensitive to criticism," he said. While watching a Cabrini soccer game , Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson of the English and communications department witnessed one of the players pour a bottle of water over his head to try and cool himself down. Zurek said "I'll bet you will never see a girl do that." Wrong! "I do it all the time ," said Lasorsa, "and so do the other girls on the team." ''There is one major difference between men and women," said Lasorsa, "women do not pat each other on the butt, only football players do that ."

Make the student's voice heard!

Following the student body meeting held by Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president of Cabrini College, regarding the decision to make the new dorm noncoinstitutional, Cabrini East residents have participated in much discussion and have expressed concern about their future dormitory living situation . Cabrini East residents now would like to present their views regarding next semester's living options. The following points emerged in conversations with Cabrini East residents: The overwhelming majority of students who are now experiencing a co-institutional living situation strongly disagree with the president's decision to allow only a single gender to live in the new dorm. We Cabrini East residents know better than anyone on campus, that co-institutional living is a very positive, well-rounded, educational, social and moral experience . Understanding that Cabrini East was born as a result of insufficient on campus housing, we're proud to know that we have turned an original negative problem into a very positive living experience. We know, as Sr. Eileen stated, that our coed situation happened as a result of admissions statistics rather than as an ethical, moral and spiritual statement by the college. We do understand that Cabrini East's coinstitutional living was not an "ideal choice" from the president's point of view. However, we hope, regardless of the fact that we are off campus, that we are still and always have been considered an important and representative part of Cabrini College . As students we must disagree with Sr. Eileen who says our situation is "not ideal." Certainly we don't enjoy taking the bus back and forth to the main campus, but Cabrini East is our home. It is very comfortable amt-it-is part of Cabrini College:-Coirrstitutional living has been "ideal" for us. Now that we know the new dorm will house all females, despite our hopes, we would like to offer our suggestions to make our move to the campus a smooth and fair transition for all: We believe Cabrini East should have just as fair a shot at living in the new dorm as anyone living on campus at present. As a matter of fact, some of our residents were under the impression that they were guaranteed to live in the new dorm. When questined, Tina Slatter, freshman, said she was told it was a temporary situation until the new dorm is built. Therefore she believed she would automatically move into the new dorm when it was opened. That, of course, we find is not true. We do ask, however, that our unique situation be an important consideration as to who goes where. As Karen Clark. sophomore, suggested, "If it is really necessary, a lottery should be drawn, but personally, I don't think that I should have to pick the lottery again." We understand that a house will have to be displaced - thus putting those residents in a sensitive situation. We also understand that Woodcrest should be de-tripled and many residents relocated - and that, too is a sensitive situation. Equally, however, Cabrini East residents who have experienced transportation difficulties and who have lived at our home AWAYfrom Cabrini's main activity, are also sensitive about our rights to be considered candidates for the new dormitory living space . Whatever. the outcome, Cabrini East looks forward to joining the campus community next semester and hopes our transition is as ·stable as the one others on campus must experience .
