College confident of state evaluation

by Lucia L. Laurito

Today, Feb. 15, the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) concludes a three day on-campus evaluation of the college's education department.

Every five years, the state comes to the, college with an outside team to review the program. The team is composed of administrators and .teachers. The purpose of the team is to see that the college is meeting the standards that were set up by the PDE. To do this, the evaluating team members will talk to students, teachers and administrators. The evaluation by the PDE gives the college the power to certify students to teach. · According to Dr. Ruth Sower, chairperson of the education department, a thorough review of all programs in the education department has been going on for one year. _ This evaluation of the education department differs from the Middle States evaluation in March. The evaluation by the PDE will evaluate the eight certification programs in the field of teacher certification. The Middle States evaluation is a comprehensive review of the entire college, according to.Dr. Joseph Romano, vice president.

According to Sower, the evaluation is a mutual growth experience for the members of the faculty and the evaluating team on how to make education programs better.

"The evaluation makes us focus on the broader is. ues.-Jt is a good system," Sower said. "We have to deliver unification standards throughout. We have unique standards and we want to make sure we meet those standards."

"The evaluation will rPveal that we offer a very strong prograrr, ,n teacher educa- · tion "Romano said. "Since our last review in 1980, we have consolidated the various

education departments into one strong division offering majors in early childhood, special education, elementary education and five areas of secondary education."

In reviewing the education program, strengths and weaknesses have been cited by the advisory board and department members.

One of the strengths, according to Sower, is the field experience program. "Our field experience program is unique/' she said.

"There are very few schools where students are assigned to a placement and supervised each semester, as well as being assigned to a new school."

"The faculty are out in schools," Sower continued. "There is a good interchange.

They will help the students deal with what is going on day to day."

Romano added, "We have also strengthened our program by offering more field work; education majors begin their field placements in their sophomore year. I am . certain that the Pennsylvania Department of Education will applaud our efforts in this regard."

Another strength is that the faculty of the department has experience in basic education, elementary education and secondary education. "Some colleges have faculties that have never been in a classroom," Sower said.

Suggestions have also been made for improvements in the education department. It has been uggested, according to Sower, that more emphasis be placed on classroom management.

Another suggestion concerns -fieldexperience in the junior year. It has been proposed that the handbook be changed and adapted to specific upper level courses.

Poll revealsstudentscontent.aboutresidentlif

-by Donna M. Horsley

· Recently, 272 Cabri~i residents participated in a sur~ey about the effectiveness of the resident life program. As a result of the survey diverse views and-recommendations were exQressed concerning: the parietal policy, an -0ncampus recreational establishment, housing situation, drug policy, and the sensitivity of the resident life department in regards to the welfare of the students.

Sixty-four polled feel that visitation rights should be extended 24 hours on weekends, though 46 percent were satisfied with parietals on weeknights which allow visitation from noon to midnight. .

"Wllat is the big deal? Twenty-four hour visitation would erase the 'sneakiness' going on. Not everyone who is going to come to Cabrini for the niglit or weekend has the money to spend it in a hotel," Roseann Giardiana, sophomore, said.

Kathy Gamble, sophomore, said, "It is a pain when a brother or male friend wants to spend the weekend and they have to sleep in a guys dorm where they don't know anyone." Although Gamble feels the parietal policy on weekends should be changed, she likes the visitation policy on weeknights. "There are times when it is really noisy and it's naturally quieter when the guys leave," Gamble said.

According to Mary Ellen Lilly, director, resident life, the issue is not whether the male or female spending the week-

end is-your brother, sister or friend but the lack of privacy and oftentimes inconvenience that results when members of the opposite sex spend the night.

Julie Hassler, sophomore, transfer student from Shippensburg State University, said, •~t Shippensburg, each dorm made up their own policy concerning parietals. It just worked out that everyone chose visitation all the time. It didn't really bother me because I made up my own policy with my roommate, so I wasn't inconvenienced."

In view of a proposed extension of the visitation hours on either weekend or weekday, Lilly believes there is sufficient interest on the part of the students to open dialogue with their house council on the issue.

"We could try to set up a service through the hall councils where certain guys or girls would be willing to take in or entertain guest.s," Lilly said.

Sixty percent polled strongly feel there is a need for a pub-like establishment on campus.

Hawn Blades, sophomore, said, "It is important to have a place on campus where people can dance, socialize and all can intermingle; you can't do that in the game room or Widener Center."

"I feel there is a need for a pub-like establishment·on campus where students can go and feel comfortable in an atmosphere used as an outlet, encourging people to get to know one another better," Lilly said.

Eileen Jensen, s~nior, president of Xavier Hall, feels the resident life program is good overall primarily because she sees the staff working at solving the problems in Xavier Hall.

With the actions taken by resident life and the administration involving drugs, cries of inconsistency were often ·expressed. Yet 85.4 percent polled agreed that the resident life department effectively applies the college's drug policy.

The results of the survey also concluded that 90 percent agree that their reside_nt assistant is sensitive to their needs as an individual.

"I look up to my R.A. like a big brother," Chris Francis. freshman, said.

Over 70 percent feel the director and managers of resident life are approachable and the majority of students polled feel that their resident assistant is sensitive to their individual needs. However, 27 .1 percent polled do not feel ·comfortable approaching a resident assistant other than their•own with a problem.

"The R.A.'s don't reach out to anyone other than those in their house or dorm; they should be more we\l-rounded but I realize that is easier said than done," Jane Rezich, senior, said.

editorials Making the grade Withincentives It has been approximately

two years since the National Commission on Excellence in Education released "A Nation at Ri'sk," a report on the mediocrity of the American education system. One of the report's recommendations for improving the quality of our schools was salary increases in the teaching profession.

•Finally, that recommendation has become a reality, at least in the state of New Jersey.

New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean has proposed that an $18,500 minimum starting salary be paid to its teachers. This attempt to lure the brightest college students into the teaching profession is a necessary step in improving education in our country and the status of the professionals in that field.

As college-educated'professionals, teachers deserve the fruits of their hard work; this includes a salary equal to other

How many potential teachers might have given up teaching for a field offering more money or a better position?

NeWsocial setting needed The issue of roommates' rights being infringed upon by frequent guests has raised a new question among members of the campus community. If a student can't bring visitors to his own room, where can he bring them?

All the dormitories and houses have lobbies and/or television rooms, but these can often be noisy, heavily trafficlted areas.

The Widener Center, with its classrooms, administrative offices and lecture hall, may seem too "businesslike" for relaxation. The Wig-Warn Jacks an intimate atmosphere, the library is too academic, and the chapel- too somber. Without a car to find some off-campus spot, a quiet conversation is doomed to roam aimlessly on these 110 acres.

There seems to be an obvious need for an alternate social gathering area - one in

which students can relax, intermingle, and meet with off-campus guests apart, from their academic and residential settings.

An establishment along the lines ot' a club or lounge could easily serve all these needs by providing informal dancing to juke box music, serving a basic sandwhich menu and offering nonalcoholic drinks.

This formula has been proven successful on the Westchester State University campus, where their nightspot "Cheers II" has become a popular alternative to house parties, and on the Villanova campus, with its Connelly Center restaurants, snack bars, and alcoves.

Before we add another dormitory for a larger enrollment of new students, shouldn't we provide a healthier setting for the ones who are already here?

letters Facultymember voices pro-life stance To the editor, I was amazed at the headline.on your Feb. 1 issue, introducing a report on th~ March for Life in Washington, D.C., written by Mary Kate Grimley. · · The headline read "Pro-choice students march in D.C.," instead of pro-life. Indeed I was shocked that after braving the below freezing temperature of 25 degrees, the 71500 pro-life marchers, who came from all parts of the U.S., should· have credit given to pro-choice. Pro-choice means proabortion. The pro-choicers are proud to have given the choice to kill one out of

three, rather than one out of four innocent unborn babies. An unborn baby is iilled in our country every 20 seconds, 4,000 a day and over 1,500,000 a year. An impressive record to build up their pride and our shame.

Loquitur has been very careful in ·presenting both sides to the abortion issue, as shown in the unsigned article placed front page under Grimley's accurate report.

Planned Parenthood's Schwartz has been given the opportµnity to boast: "71,50.0 people is not that many. We could easily get as much support after 12 years of protest."

If so, why haven't they? The truth is.that the pro-lifers do not have to be paid for · what they do. In fact, they volunteer time, work and expenses in their struggle not only to save the lives of the unborn but also to offer assistance-free of charge-to mothers who find themselves with problem pregnancies.

There is a ·hotline number service 24 hours a day: 626-3066.

On the other hand, in· the women's clinics, the counseling of pregnant women with problems is not headed to solve their problem, but to do away with it in the most lucrative way for the clinic, by way of abor-

.\'Iany students know little geographically about the United Stateti and other countries of the world. Example: what is the capitaf 01 Nebratika? On which continent is the U.S.S.R. located? (The answers are Lincoln and Asia.) l\'lany Americans feel that this is practically useless information. Ignorance of geography, however, is indicative of a false security that many Americans feel; a sense that there is no need to learn the location of a country that they may never see and that beyond the United States, little else matters.

This naivety is ridiculed by foreigners. When I was in France, I met several people who held a low opinion of Americans because they thought we had a bad attitude, that many of us were snobs unconcerned with the world outside of our own country.

I can remember being in Europe and meeting people who could quickly rattle off the location of the states ofour countrJ, something I'm ~ure many Americans could not do. (Do you

Just as many Americans feel it 1s unnecessary to learn a foreign language because they may not ever use it, many are contented to remain in the dark geographically for the same reason. This overall apathy towards broader aspects of the world are leading to the decline in a thorough knowledge of the world around us.

I'm happy to say that when we leave for our convention in Indiana, I will be able to quickly point out that we will pass through central and western Pennsylvania and then Ohio · before we reach our destination. When my plane lands in France next year, I'll know in which direction to head when I .want to get to the French Riviera.

Besides, the road to geographical excellence does not have to be paved only with books and atlases. Take a trip cross- country or around the world-what better way to get to know what's north, south, east and west of Radnor, Pa.

LanguagedepartmentintroducesCulturGrams The language departmen~ recently implemented the use of CulturGrams in many of the introductory language classes. Helene Hennigan, chairperson of the language department, recently received the pamphlets from the Brigham Young University David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies.

There is a four page pamphlet for every nation of the world. Each is a capsule description explaining the customs of the nation; the recreational interests of the people; the history and government of the society; religious practices and philosophies; dietary habits; expressions of general attitudes gestures, transportation and communication systems.

Hennigan requested the pamphlets in order to teach the cultural similarities and differences of each nation to the department's foreign language students. According to Hennigan, the students enjoy them b(;)cause of the interesting facts that the pamphlets relate. · For example, in the Arab Republic of Egypt, shyness or reluctance to socialize is often interpreted as giving a cold response, as one CulturGram explains. As another describes, in the Commonwealth of Australia, a clenched .fist with raised thurrib is

A general concern, according to Sower, is on one hand, teachers need more of a general education program and on the other, they need more professional education.

"We are concerned on how to meet this, " Sower said.

"Secondary education says more credit time. and less field experience is needed, and the Department of Education says field experience is needed." she said. To further the evaluation process, the education department will take the suggestions from the report of the evaluating team and those of the advisory board to put together ~ review during the sumri:er.

Once the new set of standards concerning teacher certification come from Harrisburg, another review will be in process to meet the standards.

Career AwarenessMonth

Seminars preparestudentsfor ·securingjobs

by Kathi Wachenheim

February means more than just hearts and presidents at Cabrini.

This month has been entitled Career Awareness Month and is dedicated to preparing students for the next step after graduation.

Donna Seckar, director of the career counseling· center, wi"th help from teachers and students., developed various programs for Career Awareness Month. "These programs are set \IP to promote career awareness and present information on job possibilities," Seckar said.

Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, who aided in developing the ·career month, added, "We want to increase student focus and direct their actions before senior year."

One pr·ogram already presented was the Alumni-sponsored program on Jan. 30. Guest . speaker Laurie McCarthy, director of executive recruiting for .David Perry Associates, and five 1984 graduates of Cabrini told of their beneficial experiences on how to prepare a resume and what to expect in an interview.

Karen Gaffney, ('84), who is

Joe· SC3UAD

currently a pharmaceutical sales representative, stated, "The students could really relate to us since we had just graduated. we· ranged from the type who had a job before they graduated like Ann Marie Alfonsi, ('84), to a person like me. I mailed out 50 resumes and went to 30 interviews before I got my job."

Gaffney added, "I learned a lot about my field from having so many interviews. I kept at it because I wanted a job badly."

One aspect that may keep students from attending the workshops and programs may be from

fear of moving on after college.

However, as DiRaddo pointed out, "A lack of attendance (because of fear) only increases fear."

Gaffney stated, "There was a scared feeling in the audience but this is normal.

People are apprehensive about getting their resumes out too late and whether or not their cumulative average is high enough. Everyone gets hung • up on (grade point averages).

Don't degrade yourself."

Other programs later in the month will be a Cabrini-Eastern (College)" Career forum, vid-

eotaped interviews and a summer job forum. When asked which was the most important seminar, Seckar stated, "It depends on the student's need. All can be significant. The Cabrini-Eastern Career forum will be good for freshmen. There will be people there from their career interests to answer any questions."

If students have any questions or apprehensions about how to succeed in getting a job, they are encouraged to attend the seminars during Career Awareness Month.

Will you be successful because you have achieved material satisfaction or have you just met society's. perception of success? In today's society many people perceive sucMlfHD cess by material satisfaction and not selfsari satisfaction.

Qn Thursday, Feb. 7, the Religion Department sponsored a lecture with an emphasis on careers in religion. After the lecture, the speakers discussed ho_wthey combined their lifestyles with their personal values. Some of the speakers recalled how they questioned the meaning of success. Mariy of the speakers left a a commer- · cial lifestyle to pursue a more personal fulfilling career.

Barbara Staley, a live-in volunteer for Covenant House, talked about her background and what attracted her to work within a community of other altruistic individuals. The Covenant House Faith Community is a group of Christian lay men and women who come together as fulltime live-in volunteers for at least thirteen months and who commit. them.selves to daily communal and private prayer, to share a simple life-style together and to serve to work with homeless and runaway youth who come to the Covenant House.

Staley explained that she majored in accounting and special education in college. She also worked with the.mentally retarded for two years and found the work gratifying but felt that something was missing. After reading an article in Reader's Digest about Covenant House, she commented on feeling challenged.

Pursuing value-oriented careersby Bonnie Zischang _ Liz Mach was an ordinary college student who majored in nursing. None of her peers woul-d have considered her religious because she was not active in Campus Min-istry, although. she was very service-oriented.

Just six months after she graduated from college, Mach heard a MaryKnoll priest voice a plea for nurses in Africa. The idea of·going on an oversees adventure to use her nursing skills was very appealing.

In 1974, Mach signed a three year contract with Mary Knoll Lay Missioners to be a part of the overseas missionary activity of the Church. Upon completion of her three years in Africa, she found that what she was doing really satisfied her. So much so that she signed up for another three year term. Today, Mach has been with MaryKnoll for nine years.

Barbara Staley, a Covenant House volunteer, was an accounting and special education major in college. After Staley graduated from college, she worked with the menta_lly retp.rded for two years but found it very frustrating. She knew that retarded individuals had the capacity to respond to God but were not encouraged to do so by the doubtful, unsupportive people who worked with th.em.

Upon reading an article in Reader's Digest, Staley was challenged to join Covenant House as a volunteer and share with others in faith motivation, commitment to prayer. community and ministry work.

"I felt that my choice to join Covenant House was based on a response to what I thought Christ was asking ofme. It was not a sudden overnight decision but rather something that evolved over the years," explained Mach.

'People choose jobs with a lower-than-average income for the sake of their value system. The reason I enjoy my work so much is because I feel that my life and my work blend.'

-Chel Avery, American Frjends Service Committee Chel Avery works with the American Friends Service Committee <AFSC), as a writer for its newspaper, a report to contributors concerning the social change work being done oversees by the AFSC. Avery is a Quaker from the Midwest who said that she always knew she wanted to l;,e a writer. She commented on what caught her interest in being a writer for the AFSC. "The AFSC is an organization involved in carrying out social change, programs of service, cfevelopment, justice and peace.

My desire to work for them stemmed from the fact that I am a Quaker and also because I majored in communications in college," replied Avery.

Social Science and the study of how human beings communicate was Avery's specific interest in college and she wanted to combine that interest with that of the AFSC, Vl'.hichis more political and social rather than religious. The department she works in though, brings the religious aspects into perspective.

Avery commented on why an average, not particularly :religious person would want to work in an organization where the salary is less than normal range.

"Most people do it for the sake of their value system. The reason I enjoy my work so much 1s because I feel that my life and my work blend," said Avery.

Other represent.atives present at the workshop were the M1;;sionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Project Outreach and St. · Francis. Inn_,

WHO'S WHO Among Americ

Reservedintellectpracticesmore than academics

by Larry P. Aquino Holding the rank of green belt and soon to test for brown belt in Chinese kenpo karate, the quiet and reserved mare tial artist practices daily.

"Karate is just a good break from school because it's a different kind of art form," said Gerard Lennon, senior. The dedicated health enthusiast takes this demanding art seriously.

"I remember right before we would go to sleep, we would hear grunting only to discover that it was Gerard doing his karate exercises," said Mark Magner, senior and a former roommate of Lennon.

Lennon, a triple major in math, Spanish and secondary education has received the Who's Who Among College Students Award for his high academic standing and his active involvement in extracurricular activities.

Lennon's girlfriend, Eileen Jensen, senior, commented that Lennon is very quiet, modest, sincere and extremely honest. Jensen added, "When Gerard puts his mind to something; he won't stop until it's done. I remember when Gerard and the other. class officers were planning the Junior/senior dance. He kept emphasizing how special he wanted it to be. And it was."

The quiet intellectual has made his presence known on Cabrini's campus. Lennon is a Dean's. list student. He is a member of Sigma Zeta, the science honor society and a rn'ember of the studellt academic council. Lennon is president of the senior class. served as president of the junior class and was corresponding secretary for the executive board of the student government. association.

Lennon has served the community as a member of the campus ministry association where he has devoted his time as a lector and Eucharistic minister. Lennon is also a Care center tutor for calculus, statistics and Spanish.

One ofLennoi:i's hobbies besides karate is running. Lennon has participated in the cross country program at Cabrini. In 1982, Lennon received Most Valuable Player honors for his achievements in cros~ country.

Another former roommate of his said something about Lennon that not too many people know about. "Gerard has a lot of idiosyncrasies. He has an extraordinary daily routine and sometimes listen,; to a song he likes 20 times in a row," said John Doyle. ser..ior.

Brian Rottkamp, senior, believes that Lennon has an offbeat sense of humor. '-'I can remember when he searched through my .clothes looking for quarters to play Miss PacMan. I -didn't mind. f even found it humorous that my quarters were in the pockets of the ·pants I was wearing."

Lennon commented that his educational goals will not end at Cabrini. "I'm leaning towards graduate school for math and would also like to improve my Spanish by visiting a Spanish speaking country."

a lot of activities, but she always has time for her friends. Joan gives the impression of being a quiet person but when you get to know her she comes up with great one liners.

Meoli maintainslong distance·friendships -by Laura L. Przywara

They say that "long distance is the next best thing to being there." This was the case for an interview with Nicole Meoli, senior, recipient of the Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges award_.

Meoli; a special education and psychology major, who is now student teaching at her home in Suitland, Maryland, left Cabrini a semester earlier than her class, but not without leaving behind a long list of frien~s and accomplishments. ·"She left a mark that is hard to measure up to," commented Ruth Sower, chairperson of the education department .."She performed at such a high level. She has a great deal of insight to children's needs and takes what she learns in class and really applies it. It takes time for most_ofus to integrate all of that. It shows her level of maturity and it just comes natural for her."

Meoli transferred from Catholic University in Washington D.C. at the start of her sophomore year. When asked why she came to Cabrini, Meoli commented, "Cabrini gives people a chance to get involved and do a lot more than one· would at a large school where you get lost in the crowd," she· said. "The size of Cabrini challenged me. Cabrini let me initiate the idea of trying things out."

That's exactly what Meoli did. She received an academic scholarship, the Junior Saturday ChJb award for special education majors and the Order of the Alam bra scholarship. She is a member of Kappa Sigma Omega, Delta Epsilon Sigma National honor society, where she served as secretary, the Cabrini honor society, and Psi Chi,-the Psychology honor society.

Meoli also served on the ArchdioGese of Philadelphia's Special Religious Education Advisory Board, participated in the tut9rial program at Wayne Presbyterian Church and Swim with the Handicapped at West Chester University.

She was.~ representative for special education on the student academic council and served as president. She was a creative arts workshop coordinator, newsletter editor and Sunday school coordinator of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).

Jean Boyle, senior said, "I think Nicole has left a standard foi-CEC to live up to. She contributed a lot of insi~ht, common sense and creativity."

Joan Johnson, senior, recalls that Meoli was always busy.

"She didn't just have her name on a list, she was the backbone in everything."

When asked if anyone in particular inspires her to be so active, Meoli replied, "I guess it's my parents in general.

They have been really active all through my life with what we were doing in school and church. I always saw them volunteering."

'She is a neat combination of caring and gentleness and is very fierce and ferocious about things she cares about,' -Elizabeth Endy,. coordinator of the Education Resource Center

"She is a neat combination of caring and ge.ntleness and is very fierce and ferocious about things she cares about," said Elizabeth Endy, coordinator of the education resource center. "I will remember her as someone who always got done what she set out to do in spite of enormous obstacles.

She finds ways around them and is willing to look at options. She will be a fantastic teacher because of that."

Meoli is just as dedicated to friendship as she is to her work. "It is dinnertime when I miss Cabrini most," said Meoli. "I miss-everyone sitting down and talking and joking around. I miss the people, my friends and just everyone in general."

Johnson commented, "She has a way of making people feel comfortable and accepts them the way they are. You can really count on her."

"She is very much her own person, very dedicated. She's great and- I love her," Boyle said. "She's great for me to talk to, very level-headed, outgoing, loyal, honest and non swaying in her beliefs. She's one of the greatest people I've ever met in my entire life. I miss her so much; I feel like I've lost part ofme." · '

Meoli is still very active at home. Besides student teaching she is also involved with a day camp for handicapped preschoolers, and is assistant director of a social club for retarded adults. · "My immediate goal is to find a teaching job related to special education, move in a place with some friends and con_tinue my education in either special education or psychology. I think it's time. Something inside is saying it's time to move on," Meoli said.

Meoli's spirit and dedication is proof that whatever Meoli sets out to do, wherever she ends up, things will get done.

DiMeglio'senergy levelhighlights.campus

by Christine

Koerner and Donna Horsley Before most Cabrini students are anywhere close to getting out of bed, or rel uctantly trudging on their way to an 8:30 a.m. class, Lori DiMeglio, senior, has already had a vigorous work_edout in the campus weight room, eaten a nutritious breakfast and planned her schedule for the day.

DiMeglio's energy and drive are not only visible in the weight room or on the hockey field, but also through her strong will to excel academically and remain an active contributing factor to the various campus activitie$ and organizations.

DiMeglio was president of Kappa Sigma Omega, the college's service organization.

She organized the first ever Parents Weekend to be held off campus this past fall.

Many considered this past years Parents Weekend the best ever.

Jennifer Moore, junior, president of Kappa Sigma Omega, said, "With all the problems we were up against concerning the first off-campus Parents Weekend, she was able to make it a tremendous success."

Moore attributes the success of the past Parents Weekend to DiMeglio's uncanny ability to get her point across and because she stood by what she believed in when it came ti:, dealing with the administration.

According to DiMeglio, one of her greatest achievements was being picked as captain of the field hockey team.

DiMeglio is always ready to challange and take-on any college activity because she is so full of energy. Not only has DiMeglio served as secretary of her freshman class, secretary and treasurer ofTriBeta, a member of the biology and ecology club, and a traffic committee member, she had also· served as a Council of College Affairs member. ,DiMeglio is the type of person who does anything and everything.

DiMeglio's friends consider her not only a crazy, unpredictable and friendly person, but also an outgoing, productive and straightfoward individual. DiMeglio is known to stick by her guns and let you know exactly how she feels about everything.

"She is a great roommate and friend. It was nice coming to Cabrini as a transfer

student ana having my roommate so involved and knowing everyone," Denise Horsley, senior said. According to Horsley, her only complaint about having DiMeglio as a roommate is when she asks DiMeglio to wake her in the morning. Horsley said, "That doesn't mean jumping on or ripping the blankets and sheets ofmy bed.

Chris Corcoran, DiMeglio's boyfriend, considers DiMeglio "a priority orientated individual." This is why plans for marriage have not been made since she has too many_other things to do first.

DiMeglio's zany antics were demonstrated while doing an ecology project during her freshman year. Apparently, she ran around campus making bird calls resulting in the nickname that still holds today, "Birdie.''

DiMeglio has every intention of continuing her education after college. She plans to enroll in the Medical College of Pennsylvania for medical technology, where she will concentrate on the study of infectious diseases.

Who is that tap-dancingin the cafeteria?

by Virginia A. Smith

Rosemary Viggi~no had been up and on the go since 7 a.m. to student teach at the Hillside Elementary School in Berwyn.

After ·school, she quickly changed her shoes, grabbed her smock and CCFS hat .and took her familiar place serving dinner entrees in the cafeteria. Two hours later, she was back at McManus House in the role of resident assistant (R.A.), listing new items purchased for the house. That non-stop schedule would've found most people collapsed in bed but when I arrived at her room at 9:00, Viggiano was still smiling and bubbly.

"Oh great! You brought your pictures from Spain," she said, taking the photo album from my hands. We had become fast friends as roommates on the Cabrini chorus two week tour of Spain last May, and we were both anxious to reminisce about it.

"You know, it was my first time in Europe," Viggiano said. ''And it was so neat to tour Spain as a singing friendship ambassador. The Spaniards were warmer than anyone I've ever performed for in the United States." ln;olvement in special projects, such as the Spanish tour, has been a key ingredient in the success of Viggiano, elected by her peers to be in "Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities." She has also been vice presidep.t of Psi Chi !the psychology honor society), a member of the Honors Program Planning Committee,

vice president of the student chapter of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA ). vice president of the Cabrini chapter of the Council for Exceptional children, member of the Psychology club, a dorm representative, a psychology tutor, recipient of academic scholarships -and has still managed to be on the Dean's list every semester.

"Student-teaching has given me added insights to my field," Viggiano said. "I get to plan lessons and can see what works with the students and what doesn't. Then I can share the information with my mother - who's· also a teacher." She smiles then adds. '"If I think of something hew for my students for Valentine's Day, I'll make a copy of it and share it with mom."

The phone.rings, a call from a 'long-lost' friend, and Viggiano chats excitedly, obviously enjoying the conversation. The relationships she developed here will probably be her lasting friendships, she later shared with me. Viggiano's friends are equally supportive of her.

"Ro is very fair and non-biased, consid. ering that many of her friends live in the (McManus) house," said Joanne Lumpkin, friend, co-worker and ·housemate. "Working with her in the cafeteria is fun. She's always up - and she even taught me how to tap dance while serving!"

"The most profound effect she has had on me," commented senior Debbie Kirk,"is that she can get me to appreciate all I have when I feel down about myself. When all I

see is her great grades, she shows me my supportive parents, my close friends, my boyfriend. Ro has been my inspiration."

Rosemary Viggiano

Viggiano can also be "witty and crazy," according to her off-campus sid.e-kick, Mary Jo Corozza. "But above all she's considerate. Last week when we went shopping at the mall, she spent three hours

looking for cute little Valentine's gifts for all the girls in her house. I don't know of many R.A. 's who spend their days off doing that."

Not only is Viggiano admired by her peers, but also by her teachers. "She's one of the most energetic and motivated students rve been lucky enough to have,'· said M.L. Corbin Si coli, assistant professor of psychology who suggested the minor to Viggiano. "She has a real quiet, calm way about her that inspires confidence. She's the kind of teacher you'd want for your own child.'"

Adeline Bethany, dire~tor of the Cabrini Chorus said that Viggiano's participation added to the postive experience of the trip to Spain. "You can only say nice things about her - she's such a sunny, effervescent person. And I'll never forget all her turquoise clothing.''

"Look at this picture," Viggiano says, now off the phone and back to the photo album. "Is that my turquoise skirt you're we~ring? Hey, here we are at the Flamenco show... I really love dancing! And there's the bullfight, and all the mountains seems like we were just there."

"It also seems like I just got to Cabrini," Viggiano continued. "Four years go like the blink of an eye, so you've got to take the initiative and get as involved as you can."

Then, realizing the seriousness of her senior-type advice, she added, "that's the mind of a teacher for you!"

Intramural program offering more

by Karen Bowers

If you want to get involved in intramural sports on campus, this is the time to do it.

An intramurals weekend is being planned for Feb. 22 through Feb. 24. This is just one of the many activities planned for this semester by the intramurals committee The department of student activities and the intramural committee, whose members are sophomores Lisa Catini and Eileen Riddle and junior Robert· Marchesani, have organized intramural activities on campus.

According to the objectives written by the committee, the intramurals provide an opportunity for those students not involved in intercollegate athletics, to participate freely in an enjoyable physical activity without the requirement of superior athletic skills.

"The int'ramurals are a great way to keep in shape while having fun with a group of people" said Colleen Di Raddo, director of student activities. "It is a great

to•keep physically fit and still have fun. I think it is a good service for the students because when they graduate they'll keep exercise as a habit."

Marchesani said, "I think people will feel better about themselves having participated in an activity that does not demand excellence; rather, the benefit of each activity is participation for fun. I beleive it can be healthy for relaxation as well."

Each intramural team will made up by residences. According to Riddle, "The teams are formed by residences because of all the moving on campus this semester.

We thought that the residents could get better acquainted this way."

There are rules that each team must follow in order to compete, and these will be explained at each game. The te~ms will be single sexed and co-rec. The co-rec teams will consist of the women residents joined by the inen, who will be recruited if they would like to participate.

The single sexed teiims will consist of all <.evenhouses, Woodcrest, Counsel and the

Dedicationkey·torowers'succes~s ____

_

by Kerry Hogan The crack of dawn silently appears across the river. The boat creates tiny ripples as it is lured down into the water. As you grasp on to the wooden oars and settle into the boat, a feeling of intensity and determination fills up inside of you; not just this one morning though, b1:1t_every time you climb into that boat. This 1s the feeling of a true oarsman.

The sport of rowing h~s maintained a tradition that is part of the athletic and social history of Philadelphia. Rowing has, in fact been called the sport of the eighties.

What great attraction does this sport possess and why is the sport becoming so popular with today's society?

GoefMcKernan, a rowing coach at Saint Joseph's Preparatory school (St. Joseph's Prep.) and the older brother of Susie McKernan, sophomore, believes it is a sport that only attracts a certain individual.

"Crewing is extremely time consuming, demands discipline and takes many years to master," said McKernan. "I love the sport. I've been involved· in rowing for eleven years and have excelled academically while in school because of the discipline the sport requires." .

McKernan added, "Throughout all my years of rowing I've met so many people from different countries, .some of whom have become my closest friends. It is a sport in which I plan to continue to master for a great many more years."

McKernan began crewing in eighth grade at Saint Joseph's Prep. He then c~ntinued through high school as a varsity lightweight, a weight class which demands excellent skill for crewing. After graduation McKernan attended '11utg~rs University in New Brunswick, NJ, where he continued to row, taking the position of coxswain. It was during college that McKernan met and rowed with the late Princess Grace of Monaco's brother, John Kelly, a man who had rowed in the Olympics.

Susie McKernan admires her brother's athletic achievement. "The position of coxswain is a very difficult job, no matter how easy it might appear. It is the coxswain's responsibility to keep the rhythm of the boat and if anything goes wrong durmg a race, it is usually blamed on the coxswain."

McKernan also added, "Rowing is an extremely fast and graceful sport. A person, I think, has to actually observe a race to feel the excitement. Words alone cannot explain it."

Marybeth :::ihck,treshman, has oecome quite knowledgeable in the sport ofrowing since meeting ToddFinnegan. Finnegan is a sophomore who is currently attending Princeton University and is a member of the school's rowing team. Slick revealed that Finnegan is attending Princeton· on a rowing scholarship which he received from West Catholic high school in Philadelphia.

"Todd was awarded Most Valuable Oarsman in his senior year in higi}.school and reclaimed the same title in his freshman year at Princeton," said Slick. She

continued, "He loves the sport so much that he's willing to put in endless hours of practice and hard ·work. In the sport of rowing you have to be entirely dedicated, which means sticking to a strict diet, drinking enormous amounts of water, maintaing good grades and getting plenty of sleep."

Did she ever hear ofrowers having to do anything "different" to train? Slick replied, "I've heard of guys who have actually slept in plastic bags to burn up calories!"

Rowing, however, is not just a man's sport. Megan Lamb, junior, will certainly agree to that. During Lamb's high school years, she belonged to the Philadelphia Girls Rowing Club. Lamb, who is petite and agile, took the position of coxswain on her team. At that time, Lamb stood five feet tall and was a mere eighty-three pounds.

"Being a coxswain didn't take as much muscle, but I had to be extremely strong inside. I had to take a lot of pressure, always making sure the boat kept its momentum and that my team members kept steady strokes." · Lamb also stated, "Although many times I was blamed if our team lost a race, we worked as a team. If it came down to a Joss, we all knew that the team would work harder for the next race." ·· Lamb's reason for becoming involved in rowing was due to the influence of her uncle who was an oarsman. "When I was young, I remember watching my uncle race on the Schuylkill and-foreveF being fascinated by the sport."

Rowing might not be as popular as professional football, but wherever there is a river, you will be sure to find dedicated individuals, who compliment the sport with their grace and style,

Budget(:ommitteeallocatesSpring funding Club Budgets

The Spring, 1985 budget committee hearing brought together 20 representatives from the SGA affiliated clubs and organizations, each of the four classes a:nd the SGA Executive Board. Jean Findlay, senjor, SGA Treasurer, presided as chairperson of the committee.

The budget committee was established in the fall of1984.

Its purpose is to meet once per semester to present, discuss and agree on ·budget allocations. The information presented and data collected are then compiled by the SGA Treasurer and final allocations are made.

Various stipulations of the SGA Constit4tion were reiterated and enforced at the committee hearing.

An automatic freeze will be placed on budgets where: (1) there are no receipts for monies received by an organiza~ tion, (2 l proper representation is not provided at SGA meetings, (3) minutes are not submitted on a regular basis to the SGA Corresponding Secretary, (4) proper representation is not provided at budget committee meetings, and <5l lack of participation during the annual Superthon fond raising weekend. Presently two clubs have their budgets frozen for failure to present proper receipts to SGA. Also, members of.the committee were reminded that loan and grant money is available at the request ofthe.clµbs and ·organizations for additional activities and funding needed ro·r various reasons not covered in the initial budget request. · At the conclusion of the meeting, the representatives present voted on the clubs they felt were the most active for the Fall, 1984 semester. The top three clubs.selected by their group of peers will receive cash allocations in addition to their s.emester budget allotment.

The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) captured first place as the most active club under SGA. They will receive an additional cash bonus of $50.00 in. addition to their allocated budget. The Cabrini chapter of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) won second place and will receive an additional cash bonus of $25.00.

The Social Work Club received third place honors and an additional cash bonus of$15.00.

SGA commends these organizations for their outstanding contributions to Cabrini College and the community at large through their various activities.

Sundav, 2/24 Students enjoyed the music and romance of the Valentine's Day dance last Friday evening in the cafeteria. The dance, sponsored by the sophomore class, was well attended by students, who were able to relinquish their books for a few hours to socialize, and take to the dance floor with their favorite partner. Proof of the dance's success was apparent by the many couples filing through the passageway strewn with red and white streamers.
