CampusChristmas
A week of hustle and bustle by Jeanne Reineberg
The whispers are flying around campus faster than a speeding bullet. The stories are passed from eager ear to eager ear. With Christmas fast approaching, no one knows whether or not what they hear is fact or fantasy. Finally one brave soul dares to ask that unspoken question. "So, what's a Yule Log?" No it's not an edible Christmas dessert, or the name of Santa's newest reindeer, as many may have formerly believed. The Yule Log, to the college, is a special ceremony that has become an annual tradition throughout the campus during the holiday season. Each year, faculty and students alike come together to take part in the ceremony which includes: carolling, a memorable candle-lighting service and the Progressive Dinner, a special feast in which residents serve a different course at each dormitory. Because of the short time span this year between the Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations, the Christmas activities on campus that are generally scheduled during two weeks have been crammed into cine. "We only have one week to do everything since the students have their academic work to do to prepare for finals," Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, said. Brian Feeley, junior, chairman of social activities, SGA, was concerned about the lack or' preparation time available for the Campus Christmas events. Time consideration, he said, threatened the traditional Progressive Dinner. It was feared that the dinner would have to be cancelled due to scheduling difficulties and the limited time allotted for its preparation. Fortunately, through a plea to SGA at their meeting on Nov. 26, SGA members decided to continue this annual activity. "We tried our very best to keep it because it's such an intricate part of the Cabrini Christmas activities," Feeley said. The Campus Christmas week's festivities include: . * Last Tuesday's St. Mary's Christmas party in the Mansion. Sponsored by the Council for Exceptional Children, a Christmas celebration is given for young girls from the St. Mary's School, who are emotionally and physically handicapped and orphaned. A play is presented by Cabrini students, and each dormitory contributes Christmas presents for the girls. *Yesterday, the biology club sponsored a trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, followed by dinner at the nearby Chadds Ford Inn.
A movie night is also scheduled to begin at 9:15 p.m. that evening. A Christmas theme is planned for the presentation. Another movie night is also planned for ne~tMonday. ¡ WThe annual Snowball Dance tonight features Santa and Mrs. Claus who will be on hand to pose for pictures, and to take any last minute orders for Christmas. The dance will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the Sacred Heart Gymnasium. The cost is $3, and refreshments will be available. *Along with the Progressive dinner on Saturday night, the annual Christmas concert will be held. The concert, sponsored by the fine arts department, will feature the Cabrini College and Delaware County Community Chorus and the Cabrini Jazz Ensemble DiRaddo anticipates a great response towards the activities that have been planned for this year's Campus Christmas. Many upperclassnmen who have taken part in the festivities of Cabrini's Campus Christmas are awaiting all the special dates, and are quick to recommend favorite activities to the freshman. "I didn't get involved my freshman year because I didn't know what it was all about," Eileen Zebrowski, sophomore, said. "I'm really looking forward to it this year. I can't wait for everything to start. It's going to be so much fun. It's a neat experience, and I would recommend that the freshmen go to as many activities as they have time for," she .said. This year a brochure was published that highlights all the activities of the week and weekend, giving a brief summary of what each entails. This will make it easier for those who are not familiar with the annual festivities to decide what they want to participate in, and to give them the opportunity to plan ahead. Some freshmen seem anxious to take part in the events of the week. "I t}tjnk it's good to have all these activities," Dawn Hartley, freshman, said. "It's something to help you keep your mind off finals, and it gives you something to do," she said. Deana Simmons, freshman, is equally looking forward to the Christmas week, but is not at all used to the idea of celebrating Christmas so early into December. "We're not used to celebrating Christmas this early, but I think we'll get used to it as our college careers continue," she said. "If you're not in the Christmas spirit by Sunday (Dec. 8) , there just must be something wrong," Kate Grimley, junior, president of SGA, said. She, like many others throughout the campus are quick to encourage everyone not to miss a minute of the fun.

Hunger week eventscreate,awareness,funds by J.G. Starrs
None ofus may ever experience want or need first hand, but because of the efforts of Beverly Reilly, campus minister,'and some concerned students,the Cabrini, community,as well as some of the surroundiqg suburban community,recently came to a greater."awareness" of the needs of others.
The results of the total food waste from Hunger Awareness Week, held Nov. 17-22, was 8 7 4 '[lbs. The following. is a breakdown of each individual day:
Campus ministry sponsored Cabrini "Hunger Awareness Week" between Sunday November 17 and Friday the 22nd in order to literally make us all aware of the fact that there are millions of people starving in our world, and to give us a chance to do as much as we can to help. There were many diverse and interesting fundraising events, the most popular of

Get back to the beach, Barbie
Partcipate, 1n campus Christmas I
'Tis the season to be jolly! The time for snowball fights and Christmas lights is upon us. So are the exams which all of us will take, sort of like the unwanted gift your aunt gives every year. The campus Christmas celebration, scheduled to continue through the weekend, is sure to be full of festive events. The Yule Log, the Snowball, residence judging; these ar.e all times when the campus can become closer to each other as a whole.
Try to attend at least a few of the events while juggling the busy semester end It's a shame that such a season has be the same time as our exams. Granted, we are here for the education, but. such tempting activities force us to choose between the events and the books. Many of our campus activities help us get into the Christmas spirit and remember why it is we celebrate the · holiday. Try to attend at least a few of the events while juggling the busy semester end. A few hours spent Christmasing with friends will long be in our memories, at least longer than what Phylum the roundworm belongs to.
What in the world has happened to you, Barbie? Where once you were an individual, you now come in about eight cloned versions with aliases like ''Workout Barbie," "Kiss- and-Tull Barbie," "Superstar Barbie," "Quick-Curl Barbie," "Punk Rock Barbie," - quite the trendy doll. (Will the real Barbie please stand up?) The children of today might be impressed with all those fancy titles and costumes, but I'm not. I know how you started - as good ol' "Malibu Barbie," the beach bum. You've been left off of "Dear Santa" lists, you know, replaced with the likes of an $80 talking, animated teddy bear and spaceship toys that transform into watches. Let's face it, Barb, you can't keep up with the technological trends - it's time you returned to the beach. Remember when you first arrived at my house with those silly sewn-in-the-top-of-your-head sunglasses? You wore only your bathing suit and carried a towel - perfectly suited for the shore - so you came swimming with me. (And you always managed to get seaweed in your hair and track sand all over mom's rug, you naughty doll). Then you got waterlogged, so I bought you a new 'landlubber' wardrobe of flourescent-colored polyesters, high boots and sleeveless shirts - quite the rage at the time, but now definitely m1t-dated. (If you're good, maybe I'll buy you some sweatshirts andGuessjeans). Remember the stages we went through together?-The 'Beauty Parlor phase:" I insisted on washing and cutting you hair which, sorry to say Babs, has never been quite the same since. (Just think of it this way - you were punk before your time). The 'General Hospital phase,' initiated after my brother pulled your leg from its plastic socket, had Dr. Ken administering intravenous needles (a la straight pins)

virginia a. smith and wrapping a cast which even G.I. Joe signed. You tried to be a nurse, but when you revealed that - ahem overwhelming cleavage by wearing low-cut scrubbies, patient Ken's blood pressure went sky-high. When I learned about the "birds and the bees," you were an upstanding role model, refusing to sleep in the same trunk with Ken until you could be m~rried. Such morality from a girl who never owned underwear was quite .amazing, but your virtuosity was really all for naught: you're both neuter below the waist anyway. And speaking of Ken, haven't you found anyone more interesting yet? That smile is obviously phony and I've seen him eyeing your niece "Growing-up Skipper." In the stores they now sell "The Best-Looking Ken Ever,'' but it's just the same old face.
We spent so many creative, fun-filled hours together, Barbie. Do you think talking teddy bears and transformed spaceships will make you obsolete? Don't panic - I've seen these 'mechanical one-nighters' come and go, but you've managed to stick around for what, 40 years? I hope I look that good in a bathing suit at your age.

Students need to. learn limits of fun by Kimberly Kovach It was just one of those weeknights at colleges everywhere. Almost everyone was still awake very late at night, either studying or partying, hanging out and talking with friends or just getting crazy after the midnight hour. This is a basic scenario for any college, most likely to happen on a Thursday night when we all' know how close it is to the arrival of the weekend. Restless students find various ways to entertain themselves so late at night. One Thursday night, at a certain Kings College in Wilkes Barre, Pa., a bunch of students w re hanging around in their apartment complex across from campus. This night the prank was to tease another student by hanging a banner outside pertaining to a personal joke between friends. They had thought it would be best to hang it late at night so that, as soon as daylight arrived, the banner would be ready for all to see.
I am sure that a ~razy idea such as this seems very familiar to most college students. Making signs, stealing them - it is all a part offun somehow. But things don't always go as well as planned. When you least expect anything bad to happen to you or your friends, something may fail. At Kings College on that late Thursday night, their practical joke failed when one of the men, who was about to hang the banner, fell from the outside of the apartment building third floor. He was immediately rushed to the hospital. · Many people do~'t realize that there is a different side of living until something of this sort happens to someone- so close to you, or even to someone you know only by name. This is the time when the reality of college hits you hard. A very serious accident, such as falling from a building, makes you think about things that you probably never thought about before.
I cannot count the times my friends and I have pretty much gone out: of bounds to have a good time, and I cannot count the times we have sat around to talk about just how lucky we may have been. I, as well as other students, will never know the limitations of having a good time with friends. How does anyone know when to draw this line between the idea of having a good time and the idea of getting out ·of hand just to have fun. Yet, we cannot stop living a good life all together. I don't know if it is because we are still not mature enough to know our limits, or whatever else it may be, but it is definitely an idea to think about. This concept is too important to let go of now, in this time of our lives. The extent of fun has got to stop somewhere. The student who was hanging the banner that restless night at Kings, died of internal bleeding the following morning in surgery.

Commuter meal plan possibility·future by Diane C. Spiro
meals, in contrast to the $2.25 fee commuters now pay for each meal. The specific prices and procedures are not yet decided. "It is important to create better commuter-resident unity," said Debbie Peacock, senior, commuter, SGA executive board treasurer. "It (the cafeteria) provides the situation for students to make friends," Peacock said. ''We don't expect every commuter to use the meal plan, but we owe it to the students to provide it." Debbie Peacock has been a commuter at Cabrini for four years and has gotten involved in student activities. She eats her meals in the cafeteria and fits into the lifestyle of the resident students. She is often mistaken as a resident and has inherited the nickname "resimuter". For this reason, she has been made aware of the need of a commuter meal plan on a first-hand basis. According to James Keches, business manager, "Once the proposal is submitted, the plarrwill be underway and it will be offered with the tuition bill by the spring semester 1986: There shouldn't be a problem concerning space in the cafeteria. We should only need approximately 40 more chairs," Keches said,
The cafeteria is a place for resident students to eat a good meal, socialize and meet new friends. But how does the commuter student fit into this aspect of college life? The answer is that they don't. "Since the commuter students aren't on meal plan, most won't even enter the cafeteria," said Virginia Smith, former food committee chairperson. "For those who do eat in the cafeteria, it can get to be expensive paying individual meal prices." A commuter meal plan may. help unite the commuter student with the resident student and provide an affordable plan to fit the needs of the off-campus student. Last· semester, a survey was administered by the food committee to students about their feelings to a commuter meal plan. Most of the responses were in favor of the plan. Now, the Student Government Association (SGA) has taken further action. A proposal for the meal plan will cater to the specific needs of the commuter. It will enable the commuter to pay a discounted price in advance for a certain amount of

.Newcomputer facility may appear on-camp.us by Yvette Ousley Because there are restrictions on the use of computers in the communications center and the computer lab,many of the students have limited or no use of computers.In order to give a wider range of students access to computers and computer learning,the idea for a computer center was thought up. The computer center would be for all students.Its main purpose would be to benefit non-communication majors and non-computer majors. Katie Grimley,student government association president, said the idea for the computer center came about after Barbara Duncan,computer science instructor, and Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson for the English and Communications department,were discussing the importance of computers."Dr. Zurek was just looking out for us (student body)," said Grimley, "He (Zurek) really thinks computers are useful." Appearantly, there is an access of computers in the computer lab which could be donated to the new computer center. "There was a suggestion to buy a computer with the profits made from the haunted house,"said Grimley, "but this fell through." At present, none of the ideas are definite. However,if this idea is accepted,guidelines will be set up for its use. Students wanting to use the center would have to be trained and a monitor would be brought in. Basically the center would be run like the communications center and the computer lab. The activities room outside of the SGA office is a possible location for the computer center. Though nothing is definite, Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, is very excited."The first step is getting the computers, "said DiRaddo, "then we'll worry about setting up guidelines and monitoring." Grimley is equally excited about the idea, but she has to learn how to use the Apple computer. "Students are thrilled about the idea, "said Grimley, "especially commuters because they'd get to use the computer at their convenience." According to DiRaddo, the subject of students learning how to use computers is discussed often in meetings because faculty members are concerned about students being knowledgeable of computers when they leave. DiRaddo said, "If you don't know computers you will be very vulnerable in jobs."

Peers vote 'touches' recipient
Preparing for exams:
by Rhonda i;>annenhower
Recently, the senior class had a difficult decision to make. They had to find the senior who, in their opinion, has best fulfilled the ideals of the college through academic achievement, participation in extracurricular activities,leadership, and service to fellow classmates and the college. "This senior, voted by her classmates, would become the recipient of the prestigious Mother Ursula Award. Three seniors were nominated for the award; Mary Meenan, Joanne Goebel, and Barbara Colantuono. After a final vote, Barbara Colantuono emerged the winner. "It was such an honor to be given this award. I've been given scholarships from people in higher positions before, but I was really touched because my peers gave me this award. I was surprised that they cared enough to watch what I had been doing these last four years. You don't think that people really care what you do, this award made me realize that everything I've done has been worth it," Colantuono said. "If you had to pick the one person who embodied the spirit of the award, it would be Barb. She filters that caring feeling through all of the different activities she is involved in. I admire her for her intelligence, her dedication and her ability to care for others," Missy DiPasquale, senior, said. Colantuono chose Cabrini because of its personal atmosphere and small size. She attended a small high school and felt that she could parallel her experiences there with the friendly atmosphere of Cabrini. As an early childhood/elemetary education and religion , major, she was also impressed with the high recomendations that the education department received. Since she has been at Cabrini, Colantuono has been very active. Aside from carrying four academic scholarships, she participates in Student Government Association, Campus Ministry, Kappa Sigma Omega, College Orientation, plays on the Tennis Team, and is a Resident Assistant, just to name a few. "It is in the Cabrini spirit that she does each job, each responsibility, each course assignment with such tremendous capability and love," Gretchen Dingel, secretary of Sr.Eileen Currie, president,said. "I've been involved in: a lot of activities because I thought that it was another part ofmy learning experience, and it is a good way to meet people," said Colantuono. "It seemed that the more that I got involved, the better my grades became. I learned to budget my time and get my priorities together." "Barb is a very high achiever. She pushes for excellence in everything she does, and demands it of herself," DiPasquale said. "In such a short time, I have developed a friendship with Barb that is unique from any other. Her willingness to take life and get the most from it while always remembering her friends, is always a constant reminder of the beautiful person that she is," Joe Giuffre, said.

Not just studentsare cramming by Larry P. Aquino
Consume tremendous amounts of caffeine; sleep late hours; go into total isolation; whatever it is, each member of the student body, faculty and administration has a method of preparation when it comes to final exam time. Jennie Mastrorilli, senior, said, "For the past three years, when final exams arrived, I procrastinated till the last minute because I seem to study better under pressu¡re. But with the first experience of having to go to summer school and the anticipation of graduating with my class, I'll probably study more effectively for finals this time around.". When it comes to final exams, a majoritr of students tend to use the "cramming" method of studying. Allen Reyes, junior, said, "Generally, I like to cram one or two days before a

final exam. However, when I find that I'm ahead of the game at the time of the finals, I divide the number of pages of notes to study by the number of days left before the actual exam. For me, this usually results in an A-, or Bat the least." Helen Morrison, sophomore, added, "Usually, for final exams, I study a week before the exam, a little bit everyday up to the day before the test. Then, I cram while drinking an excessive amount of coffee." For freshmen, there- is great anticipation for their first college final exams. John Callinan, freshman, said, ''All throughout high school, I crammed for exams while I listened to classical music and had a constant supply of snacks nearby. For my first college exams, I'll continue doing this but put more time into studying because of the amount of material covered in a semester." To help students satisfy their needs for a quiet place to study and their hunger pains, the library and cafeteria are facilities students use. During final exams, students tend to spend more time than usual in the quiet atmosphere of the library. The library staff provides refreshments in the upstairs lounge area during its "Food for thought" week, where it extends its hours to 11 p.m. Anita Johnson, director of the library, said, "During exams, the library staff prepares for the special finals week hours. We arrange the closing due dates for the books. We expect more reference questions, more student traffic and more anxiety among students."
Everyone has a general idea of how students prepare themselves for final exams. Did you ever wonder how the faculty or administration prepares for the exam period? Adeline Bethany, chairperson, fine arts department, said, ''A lot of thought and time goes into planning the context and format of the final exams. As teachers, we don't have the same mental pressure the students have. We want to give exams which are pedagogically sound, fair and can be graded within the time constraints demanded of us. For grading the exams, I stay up very late hours and look for a long, uninterrupted block of time and quiet."
Carter Craigie, professor, English and communications, feels the most ,difficult part of the final exams is the grading period. "I take a lot of vitamin C, drink a lot of coffee and push to finish up the year with everything turned in. I go crazy trying to get the grades in to the registrar within the 24 hour time period demanded. Most of the time I make it. Qcc.asionallv, even I fail." Robert Fetterhoff, registrar, prepares more for the period after final exams, when grades have to be turned in and processed. "During finals, things are quiet and less hectic in the office since students are either studying or taking exams and teachers are giving of grading exams. When I close the office on the last Friday before Christmas and have the grade sheets processed, I feel like I've already received my first present of the Christmas holiday," Fetterhoff said. When late night munchies set in, Mary Ann Biller, academic dean, students often travel over to the caf- prepares more for the before and eteria to grab a bite to eat. qharles after period of the final exams than during the tests itself.

The Lady Cavs had their hands full last Tuesday night when . they played their first game of the season against West Chester State University. West Chester, an NCAA division II team, is a division above Cabrini, and although the Lady Cavs "played hard", according to Torry Mancini,coach, the game ended in Westchester's favor, by a score of 81-44. "I thought we would do a lot better," said Monica Cain, senior, captain. "This game taught us our weaknesses, by the next game we will have more composure." "They-(West Chester) had a lot of tall players. Their size really hurt us on the boards," said Mancini. That (rebounds) is something we'll have to work on," he added. "Everyone was nervous," said Mancini,"and that affected their playing." He added, "The team is predominantly fresh-

Cavs capture tournament by Christy Mason
They lost two years consecutively. Now it was time for a change. This time the Cavs would be better than the others. This time the Cavs would win -the Delaware Valley Big Brother tournament. And this time, they did. The men's varsity basketball team defeated Spring Garden College by a score of73-70 on Monday Nov. 25 and went on to win the tournament by defeating Delaware Valley 70-56 on Tuesday Nov.26. "We expected to win," John Dzik, head coach, said referring to the Spring Garden game. ''They (Spring Garden) didn't lead the entire night. We beat them but they out rebounded us." High scorers in the first game were Allen Jo~es,junior, with _19points, Anthony

In the championship game against Deiaware Valley, the Cavs played a defensively strong game leading 28-17 at half time. "By the third quarter, we were winning 41-21," said Dzik, ''by that time, the game was over," he said. 'Top scorers in the championship game were Gilbert with 20, and Jones with 17. Dade and Gilbert were top rebounders with 11 and 10, respectively. At the end of the tournament, Gilbert and Jones were chosen as Cabrini's representatives to the '¼ll-Tournament Team." This honor is given to the five best players in the tournament.

Students and facuity to spend spring semester in Arizona
CECNEWS: During the spring semester, two student teachers and one. faculty member will relocate to Tuba City, Arizona. Working at a Bureau of Indian Affairs residential school for Navaho children, Jeanine Ketch, (formerly Wedwick) special education student teacher, Usa Nolan, math; secondary education student teacher and Dr. Ruth Sower, education faculty will be teaching LOGO (a children's computer language) and word processing as a means to advanced thinking, writing and reading skills. In addition, the teachers will work in regular classrooms fulfilling the college's student teacher requirements. The Tuba City residential school serves 900 elementary and middle school children. Pupils come from
the area surrounding the school, many travelling 20 to 50 miles in order to attend the program that operates from Monday to Friday. The program provides housing and meals for all those educated in the program. Some of the children live in nearby communities and others come from rural areas where their families are sheep herders. The sheep herders travel most of the time following food sources for their sheep. The area surrounding the school is part of the painted desert and is composed of many layers of colorful rock and clay formations. Less than a mile from the school are the famous dinosaur tracks that are preserved in layers of rock. The children in the school dress
SGA reeognize The stalk of the Ninja, the mischief night attack on Sullivan, house seven, broken locks on houses and windows- all of these incidents have heightened student concern for security on campus and ultimately resulted in an official forum initiated by the SGA Executive Board. Executive Board members met with Dan Neyer, head of security, Mike Caranfa, director, physical plant, Nancy Costello, board of trustees member, Sr. Christine Baltas, dean of students, and members of the resident life staff. Discussing the stream of security violations, a number of suggestions were surfaced to tighten security on campus. •Place push button combination locks on doors or windows of every dorm. •Report broken locks or windows to maintenance immediately when found. •Establish an escort system •Extend the lighting to more areas on campus.
like children in other parts of the United States. Most of the boys wear baseball jackets and jeans. Girls wear casual clothes not unlike young people iR Philadelphia. Their dorm , walls are filled with posters of well known rock singers and they watch television and enjoy sports and movies. Though the children are the same in many ways, they live in a very different culture and heritage and speak a language that is quite different from English. Many live under conditions that would not include running water, central heat or kitchen appliances. Some live in hogans, a round house with a thatched roof, that have center holes for the fire that is kept burning during the winter.

Before any visible improvements can be made and implemented successfully, student misconception regarding the role of security must be dissolved according to Neyer. "We are not hired to chase and catch individuals," said Neyer. "We will apprehend if necessary and then contact the police, but our main goal is to prevent. Very often this is difficult if students themselves shun their responsibilities in honoring the security rules of their residencies," added Neyer. SGA hopes that any confusion regarding the function and purpose of security is now resolved; and that residents will encourage, among themselves, a responsible attitude towards upholding their role in maintaining campus security. by Kathy Hibbard

Many adults in the culture continue to weave beautiful rugs, hand craft silver jewelry, and prepare sand · paintings in addition to farming or caring for sheep. Some Navahos have accepted employment in the small towns working for local merchants or are employed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Cabrini people will live in an apartment on the school grounds. In addition to working and studying, this little group of Cabrini people hope to see the west, enjoy the country and get to know their people! We will be thinking of Cabrini College, that made_it all possible. Sincerely, Dr. Ruth Sower Chairperson, education department

Gamblepicks up where Nolan leaves off The second semester of this academic year will bring a major change in the Executive Board of the Student Government Association. Usa Nolan, corresponding secretary will be leaving in January for Arizona to do her student teaching on a Navaho Indian reservation. Due tq Usa's absence, it was necessary to appoint a new corresponding secretary to fill the position. In anticipation of-Usa's departure, the Executive Board elected Kathy Gamble, junior to replace Usa in September so that Kathy could work with the board and with Usa from the beginning of the year. Through Usa's guidance, Kathy is more than prepared to fill the position. We are all very sorry to lose the person and the skills of Usa Nolan, but the Executive Board is very confident that Kathy Gamble will work up to the high standards that she· has been seen to foster. · The Executive Board wishes Usa the very best of everything during her experience in Arizona. We are certain that she will do just as fine with the Indian children as she has done in all of her past endeavors. Thank you, Lisa! Sincerely, Mary Kate Grimley Student Government President
