Fun in the winter sun!

by Lisa Ann Rancatore Concern over the quality of the chemistry facilities, equipment and instruction was raised in the recent Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) evaluations, and additionally by students within the department.

In the evaluation, presented to the PDE

by Dr. Robert E. Ziegler, a PDE member and chairperson of the education department at Elizabethtown College, four major concerns were addressed.

The first issue is laboratory facilities, the evaluation stating that they "are marginal and safety concerns need to be addressed."

Dr. Joseph Feighan and Josephine Rondini, chairperson and assistant professor of the chemistry department respectively, see the problem of space as a contributing factor to the safety of students in the lab.

Feighan said, "We need the space, and if we don't get more space, the safety factor comes into play." He then explained that the budget does not cover the cost of building facilities, only chemicals and supplies.

Rondini said that the instruments which they must store in the lab due to lack of space elsewhere are being corroded by the chemicals that are in the lab due to the frequency with which the students use them.

Feighan said, "Sometimes you carry chemicals back and forth many more times than you have to." Rondini continued, "It's a wasted effort, but it has to be done since we don't have the space."

Ziegler's second point concerned ventilation in the laboratories. This point met with differing opinions.

Agreeing with this statement, one anonymous chemistry student commented, "It (the lab) is lacking in a lot of space and the ventilation is terrible."

Feighan, however, said that he measured the air flow in the chemistry lab and no problems were indicated.

Addressing the third point of the review that deals with capital funding, one student said, "I think they should give the chemistry department more money. It needs new things all around."

Another chemistry student praised the lab, saying, "For what facilities the department has, the teachers do a good job. It's harder for them to get the funds they need because there are so few chemistry majors."

Feighan said, "There hasn't been any capital funding for anybody in three years."

Ziegler's last point about more space being crucial to the lab for offices and storage also was a great concern to both the faculty and students.

Feighan said, "Expansion is certainly stifled, both program-wise and facilitywise. The administration," he continued, "is aware of the space problem and looking into ways of improving it."

Dr. Mary Ann Biller, academic dean, expressed her hopes that the department's Five Year Plan will help it obtain all the necessary things it needs.

The first part of the three-part plan deals with the faculty and people involved in the department. (This part was recently submitted by all departments to Biller for evaluation.) The second part' of the plan deals with supplies and expenses the department will incur. The final part of the plan concerns capital funding, or funding set aside for the sole use of instruments needed.

Biller said that the majority of the money a department receives comes from tuition and grants. "My only hope," she said, "is that the Pennsylvania legislators and senators might think of another year of equipment grants, especially since there is a surplus of funds in Pennsylvania this year."

"Otherwise," Biller continued, "the solution is to go to a capital campaign, which is a movement to raise funds from outside sources for specific areas."

Last week's snowfall gave students the opportunity to engage in the Cabrini tradition of traying, a popular activity at this time of year. Taking advantage of a day off from classes, Eric Power, sophomore, Paul Fallon, freshman, Tim Fitzgerald, sophomore and Bruce Kidwell, freshman, try their luck down the "slopes."

Givingstudentsa second chance All names in this story have been changed.

by Kimberly Stevens Jill was in her first semester of college, and she loved the freedom. She could cut classes, never do homework, and be part of a social circle that valued popularity over academics.

After a continuous semester of little work and lots of play, Jill's grades came home, followed by a letter, notifying her thafshe had been placed on academic probation. Her grade point average was 0.8.

Academic probation. It even sounds scary. It could happen to a freshman or a senior, a good student or a poor student. In each case, the student's GPA is below 2.0, and they must show remarkable improvement or else they will. be subject to dismissal.

Jill was lucky. She is now a second semester sophomore, and her GPA is 2.8.

She changed her major, has a new group of friends, and is enjoying school, both academically and socially.

"I think the main reason for my low GPA was the group of people I was hanging around with," Jill said. "We always cut classes, and we didn't do much. We had a lot of fun, and that was basically it."

According to Dr. Mary Ann Biller, academic dean, many freshmen find the first semester extremely difficult. "They don't understand what the free time is all about and how it's used," Biller said.

Jill describes herself as being very rebellious freshman year. "I don't think I'm the same person that I was last year," Jill said. "I put my parents through a lot. I was a totally different person. I lied to them all the time."

After receiving t11eprobation letter, Jill's mother called Dr. Romano to see what could be done to help the situation. "We set up an appointment and I went in to talk with him about how I could pull myself out of this," Jill said. "It really made me feel better to sit down and talk with him, and realize I could get help."

Jill had several sessions with Dr. Joseph Romano, vice president of academic affairs, and took a study skills course in the Center for Academic Reinforcement (CARe). "I think the CARe center is the best thing they have on campus," Jill said.

"I still use it now ifl have any questions or problems with anything."

"Cabrini College believes in the development of the person," Biller said. "Because of its size, it probably has an easier job of trying to deal with individual students than a large university."

Helping each student personally is very important to Biller. "We look at each case individually," Biller said. "Sometimes there are family problems, and sometimes it's a roommate situation that has to work itself out. There are a whole host of problems that we are aware of."

According to Biller, the college does everything it can possibly do to keep each student in school. Some students may have to go part-time until they bring their grades up, some are allowed to continue full-time, but are given help, and some must be dismissed.

"If there is evidence for dismissal, for example, not going to classes, never going to see the adviser, and just not seeming to care about anything," said Biller, "then that's a very different attitude from somebody that's really learning a lot of things in college."

In Jill's case, being on probation has been somewhat embarrassing, but she thinks that she has learned from the situation. '½.s bad as everyone thinks probation is, it's good for the student," Jill said. "It's bad in a sense that it's sort of a stigma, but you're going to come out better in the e~d for it."

According to Jill, peers contribute to how well you handle college life. "If you hang around with people who are conscious of their grades, you are going to be more conscious of them, too," Jill said. "My friends now are very supportive of one another. It's really very nice to have people like that as friends."

Jill is grateful for this experience. "It has really helped me plan for the future," Jill said. "I want to get my masters and my Ph.D in psychology, and I want to become a doctor." ¡

Mutual respect a necessity

'California Dreamin'

At Cabrini, 'it is virtually impossible for faculty and students not to interact with a personal rapport.

Students view professors as figures from which they can learn.

We place a tremendous amount of trust in the opinions voiced to us by our professors. Unfortunately, some faculty degrade the students to a point where there is no longer a respect. This is an atrocity, and should not be permitted by the students who witness such action, nor by faculty who harbor similar knowledge.

To us, our professors are mentors, intructors, and a source of well-needed guidance. If such examples are set, it is probable they will be followed. Indeed this is sad commentary.

However it is not our intent to criticize faculty members alone.

It outrages us when we sit in a classroom and passively observe abuse to a teacher. We sympathize with human feelings, yet we do nothing, allowing our learning environments to be disrupted and our images smeared.

Such examples do not bridge gaps, only create valleys through which we cannot travel.

We think mutual respect is a must, and without it present, the campus community will definetly be lacking in the most precious element of human nature, our concern and care for one another.

Dear Editor, Last semester there was an article in the Loquitur about me and my involvement in the Association For Blind Athletes Of New Jersey (ABANJ). There is a good chance that I will be competing this June, in the national competition in Califonia.

The ABANJ has done a lot for me. In my nine years involvement with the association they have given me the opportunity to compete athletically with other blind athletes. Through the ABANJ I have also gained confidence in myself, developed many close friendships and have many happy experiences and memories that I will never forget.

I have just one small problem. It costs a lot of money to get to California. You have probably noticed the cups set at several points around the campus. People could donate some spare change, if they happen to have it, although I don't think it will raise quite enough to get to California. I don't have to raise all of it myself, but I should contribute as much as possible towards our team.

I understand that everyone is busy, but if there is any club, organization, or group of people on campus who are willing to help set up a fund raiser for me and the ABANJ please contact me, Box 606 or ext. 496.

Please help me, because blind athletes are out of sight!

Thank You, Jeanne Purpu~i

Evolution of the rebel man

Silence the big mouths Dear Editor, While sitting in an advisor's office at a university doing research on college graduate programs, I happened to look up and read: "The Snake That Poisons Everbody."

A further inquiry brought a discussion between the advisor and myself. I read what seemed to be a message which involves all of us at Cabrini.

The message was about gossip. I've been here long enough to hear gossip go around and come back around again.

It was published in the Wall Street Journal. This is the message: "It topples governments, wrecks marriages, ruins careers, busts reputations, causes heartaches, nightmares, indigestion: spawns suspicion, generates grief, dispatches innocent people to cry in their pillows. Even its name hisses. It's called gossip. Office gossip. Shop gossip. Party gossip. (Cabrini gossip). It makes headlines and headaches.

Before you repeat a story ask yourself: Is it true? Is it fair? Is it necessary? If not, shut up."

Personally, I agree that gossip is ugly news just waiting to spark trouble, so watch out. There is a resolution in this message, to silence big mouths and that isn't a bad idea. Otherwise, if gossip is considered ugly, and gossip is a part of Cabrini, then Cabrini may look ugly in the eyes of students looking for an attractive school. Sincerely, Allen K. ·Reyes

"WAYNE. WAYNE SMITH, is that really you?"

Wayne doesn't recognize the wide-eyed man now at his side. Business client? Somebody's boyfriend? A relative?

High school chum? Someone's brother - who is he?

The bartender taps him on the shoulder, asking if he wants another 'St. Pauli girl' and Wayne jokes, "I have enough girlfriends, thank you." He is grateful for the interruption which gives him time to mentally run through a list of names: Alan ... Bill. .. Charlie ...Brian ...Barry ...yes, he is sure it's something with a "B," but what? He looks at his Rolex watch.

"You don't remember me, do you?" the man continues, not seeming at all disappointed at the fact, but rather excited, like a miner who has just struck gold.

Wayne loosens his tie, shrugs his shoulders. The guy is lanky, casually-dressed, looks to be about Wayne's age. He has a volkswagen keyring in his hand. His eyes look familiar, but the hair is all wrong ...

"I'm Bob Dewart, remember me? 1972? Union college? I was hoping I'd run into you someday. I want to thank you for saving my life."

--------

1N '69, WAYNE HAD the '½.II-American Boy" look dimples and Mickey Mantle baseball glove included. He was 17 and a bagger for the grocery store on the comer.

When his "hip" friends offered to sell him a ticket to the "hottest three day concert ever" for only $18, he had to say "yes." He even paid in advance.

That weekend at the alfalfa fields of old man Yasgur's farm, no one cared much about tickets: with more than 50,000 free spirits roaming about drinking the concession stands dry, bathing in the stream, setting up tents, who could keep track?

Sloshing ankle-deep in the mud, Wayne rocked to immortals like Joan Baez, the Band, the Grateful Dead, and Jimmie Hendrix who was "making the most incredible sounds come from his guitar." The music stopped only when the the drizzles increased to downpours.

His sopping-wet clothes made his skin too pruney, so he took them off. Somewhere between the concession stand and the waterfall "community bathtub," he lost his shoes.

The Red Cross dropped care packages of clothing and food from helicopters to the multitude below. Drugs were everywhere.

"It was experimentation, crazy fun - the outer limits of freedom."

AND THEN they drafted guys to war in Vietnam. ''.Allthat stuff that came out about Vietnam afterwards - we knew it then," Wayne said. ''We tried to tell them that the war was stupid and pointless, and they said, 'It's your duty to fight."'

"They lied to us. On the news they'd report the body count ...'50 American soldiers killed, 275 of the enemy wiped-out.' Big winners, right? But they weren't just

virginia a. smith :ounting soldiers - they included chickens, cows and children."

He was lucky to have a high draft number: while he was being measured for a cap and gown, his buddies were being suited up in fatigues. Friends from the alfalfa fields were manning the battlefields or escaping to Canada. It made him angry, full of protest.

"Protesting was the 60's way of communicating, asserting," he said. "But they arrested us for it. We were sent to jail for trying to save our lives."

So he became a "draft counselor," teaching guys how to get excused from the "war games." He belonged to SANE, an organized effort to keep students out of the war. "It's an acronym, but I can't remember exactly what it meansSave American ...something. The point is that we weren't the crazy ones."

He trumped up medical excuses and counseled the guys in getting the necessary notes and documentation. "If you went down for your physical unprepareii, they'n label you 'O.K.' and you were shipped off. But if you showed up with the right documents as proof, they had to let you go."

One guy was excused for high blood pressure. Another for hemorrhoids. "One got off with severe acne 'cause we claimed he needed a special diet for his skin."

THAT WAS15 years ago. But protests are a thing of the past. "If a war broke out now, guys would probably go enthusiastically with some Rambo-like ideal to shoot away the bad guys." In a time of war, however, it's difficult to distinguish the black hats from the white.

WAYNE STRAIGHTENS his Ralph Lauren tie and pays his bar tab with plastic money. His hair is conservatively short, his skin tanned from weekends spent golfing in Palm Sprin!JS with clients. He swallows a pill with the last swig of beer: the job that was once a game has now become a pressure-filled effort to earn the high commission needed to pay off his two houses, hot tub and '85 Chrysler New Yorker. He'll be 35 this week and has never worn a weddinl! band. ''Bob Dewart - I can't believe it! What was it we got you out on ...?"

"Hemorrhoids. Man, I can't believe I finally ran into you. I keep thinking that if it wasn't for you, I'd be rotting in some body bag. So, thanks so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Rallyingfor rock-'n'-roll

by Mary Sanderson

Adrenaline rushed, excitement rose, signs flourished. Chants of"rock and roll" echoed as a Prospect Park resident, Glen Waldeck, tapped his guitar as a back beat.

T.V. cameras rolled and ''AM Philadelphia" did a live segment for the show.

A local radio station, WMMR 93.3 FM, Philadelphia, passed out bumper stickers, buttons and large, red balloons called "fanthums." The fans waved them as other local radio stations such as WIOQ 102 FM, 56 WFIL, and 94 WYSP got into the act pinning buttons on everyone they encountered.

Feb. 13 was considered a holiday for rock and roll fans, young and old alike. WMMR's Morning Zoo show with John DeBella broadcast live as the anxious fans awaited the arrival of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee at 30th St. train station in Philadelphia.

The committee was in town to examine the possibility of Philadelphia as a site for the proposed "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."

Other contenders included Memphis, Cleveland, and San Francisco. When radio disc jockeys found that the committee was to visit for a first-hand look, and that they were possibly favoring Cleveland, they urged other music aficionados to rally in support of "the city where rock was born."

The excitement did anything but die down. As the committee entered the station from New York at approximately 10:10 a.m., the chanting increased. A wave of enthusiasm encircled the judges in an overwhelming show of support.

The fans followed the judges to City Hall, where recording artists Chubby Checker and the Hooters, among others, spoke out in favor of the museum. Their speeches caused the enthusiasm to heighten even more.

Everyone got into the act. Signs hung from the windows of office buildings reading ''The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame belongs in Philadelphia.~ Inside City Hall, Mayor Goode made a proposal to the committee. Outside, Waldeck, again showing his musical talents, sang his own composition before the crowd of excited fans. When asked why he wrote the song, Waldeck said, "I felt it was my duty. Music is a powerful form of media."

A mural painted by a group of young artist known as Airworx was displayed both at the train station and outside City Hall. Airworx; in a joint venture with

WMMR,painted the ~ural to support the Hall of Fame. Kirk Dupius, one of the mural artists, explained that they do not know if the mural will be put into the Hall of Fame.

The mural, which was painted in three days, portrayed all of the artists to be inducted into the museum. The inductees include the Everly Brothers, Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chubby Checker, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, James Brown and Ray Charles.

"The first 10 inductees are amazing," said Bob Beru ofBeru Revue, a local Philadelphia band. Beru thinks the Hall of Fame would be a cultural and educational center as well as a welcome tourist attra&tion. Beru continued saying, "I'm from Philadelphia. so I naturally assumed we were the center of the world. Artists like A ice Cooper and David Bowie recorded here. We had Live Aid. Maybe New York or L.A., but Cleveland?"

As the committee was. shown the three locations chosen for the Hall of Fame should it be brought to Philadelphia, the anxious fans continued their show of support by following. The locations are the Philadelphia Civic Center, a lot next to the Hershey Hotel, and the Port of History Museum at Penns Landing.

Dean of studentssought for fall semester Sister Christine Marie Baltas, MSC, dean of students, will be leaving her current position next semester to accept a position as principal of St. Donato's School, Philadelphia.

Baltas was asked to consider the new position by the provincial of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and her Council.

Although the dean of students position at Cabrini has traditionally been held by a Missionary Sister, this isn't a requirement.

"There just aren't that many Sisters available anymore," said Sister Eileen Currie, MSC, president.

A position vacancy announcement has been posted throughout the campus and placed in educational journals. A Dean Search committee will now be chosen from the board of trustees and administration,

applications will be accepted, and interviews will begin as soon as possible.

"We hope to have the top candidates lined up by late April, so that they can meet with faculty and student leaders before a final decision is made," Currie said. "Hopefully that decision will be made by June 1 ."

No preference will be made between possible candidates currently employed with the college and candidates from outside the community.

"We are looking for the best person for the position. There are certain requirements to be met: experience in student personnel services and a Master's degree are preferred, although every case is viewed individually. We will look at candidates holistically, looking for the person with the ' qualities that best fit the Cabrini standard," Currie said.

Fans favor Philly

Students compete against-employers

by Larry P. Aquino

The Mansion women are the only residents on campus who cannot use their parking facilities for the entire day. Residents can use the parking lot after 5 p.m. but must have their cars out by 8 a.m. the next morning in order that the staff can have the parking spaces. Mansion residents can use six parking spaces which are also shared with maintenance and visitors for 45 minute intervals, between 8:00 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The limited amount of parking spaces, 17 in total, has created a problem between Mansion residents and college personnel who work in the Mansion.

Brenda Morrison, senior, resident assistant of the Mansion, said, "The parking situation is extremely inconvenient.

On many days, I have set my alarm for 7 :30 a.m., put on sweatpants and moved my car out of the lot in order not to get a ticket. I'd like to see Mansion residents get more parking spaces, or even have a new parking lot built."

Kristen Faracchio, sophomore, Mansion resident, said, "It's ridiculous that I have to pay $10,000 to come here and not be able to have a permanent parking space in front of where I live. My car is now banned from campus because I received too many tickets for parking in front of the Mansion. More parking facilities should be built so everybody will be happy."

Peggy· Cirone, junior, Mansion resident, added, "I spend all this money to go to this school and feel I should be able to park my car outside my home. I consider the Mansion my home and it's not fair that I have to move my car everyday so early in the morning."

Nina Dolce, junior, Mansion resident, said, "To sum it up, I think the Mansion parking situation is not only a hassle but it creates a danger for the girls. Something will probably be done after somebody gets hurt when walking alone late at night, from another parking lot, so they don't have to move their car in the morning."

Liz Luciano, junior, Mansion resident, said, "I asked resident life to give us a parking lot last year. They said it wouldn't be worth it. We do pay to live here and shouldn't be inconvenienced by having to move our cars or park somewhere else."

Ginnese Morris, junior, Mansion resident, secretary of the Cabrini Traffic Committee, has proposed a plan to the traffic committee to have specific spots designated for Mansion residents in the Sacred Heart Hall parking lot.

"If we can't have permanent spaces in front of the Mansion," she said, "we should have a parking lot that is well lit. The best

. (HALL OF FAME, continued from page 3) The outcome of some 2,000 fans proved to be a surprising success. According to Mark "the Shark" Drucker, WMMR Morning Zoo DJ, more people showed up than he expected. Drucker thinks Philadelphia has a good chance in the running because of its location. "More people would see it here.

There's New York, Washington, the whole eastern seaboard," Drucker said.

Not only did the event attract a large crowd, but one that ranged in age. Margaret Foglietta, 66, a Philadelphia artist, who was just passing by City Hall during the rally, is very enthusiastic about the museum.

"I and all the senior citizens from St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi Church remember Dick Clark, Bobby Rydell and Chubby Checker. We're all for the Hall of Fame. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame belongs in Philadelphia."

Despite the size of the crowd, police found no problems related to alcohol and drugs and no outbreaks occurred. "Everything seems to be going well considering most people think rock and roll and alcohol go hand in hand," a member of the security team said. He added, "I hope they are successful with this. I think they should even exhume the bodies of Elvis and John Lennon, and bury them in the Hall of Fame ifit comes to Philadelphia."

As a step towards promoting the Hall ofFame, WMMRencouraged the public to sign petitions. As a result, approximately 200,000 names were collected. A hotline was also set up in order for the public to call and cast votes. Phone calls totalled 57,000.

Pierre Robert, disc jockey, WMMR, thinks a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be good for the city. "Philadelphia has a rich musical heritage. It should be here; the people are very into rock and roll," Robert said.

According to Jack Quigley, promot10ns director, WMMR, what the museum will actually contain is up in the air. But, it will probably have a sound studio, sound stage and small theatre to house concerts, along with paraphernalia about rock and roll veterans.

The decision of whether or not the museum will be put in Philadelphia will -not be known for approximately two months.

Israel M. Knobel, a computer finance management consultant, thinks it will take the efforts of Dick Clark to bring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to Philadelphia. "Dick Clark must support this thing. He has to bring American Bandstand back to Philadelphia. He has to come home and then it will happen."

Fort

Lauderdale: exper

by Jeanne Reineberg

Ah! Fort Lauderdale ....the college student's paradise.

Well, just what makes it so appealing? "Sex, suds, and sand!" says Bill Wench, travel agent, Liberty Travel. "You can drink, find sex partners, and have fun for a week.

There's no structure," he said. "In many ways I suppose it is a carrying over of college life, but to a much greater extent; to the nth degree."

While some Cabrini students do find this appealing, others head south to areas other than Fort Lauderdale for various different reasons. Some have relatives or friends in ¡ the area, others are looking for job opportunities while they have the time off, and still others are just looking for plain old rest and relaxation.

The sun-scorched sands make the heat almost unbearable, but that doesn't matter. The cool mist from the crashing ocean falls gently on your oi/drenched, deeply-tanned skin bringing some relief. It may feel like the fires of Hell are burning around you, but it's Heaven thinking about how envious everyone will be when you return to school with a summersend tan in mid-March.

Don't look now, but the gorgeous guy in the black bikini with whom you've been subtlety flirting all day just stood up (all 6'5" of him) and is headed your way. You know he'll give some line like, "I saw you over here drinking that Pepsi. You won't believe it, but I love Pepsi. It must be fate!" You buy it! After all, he's your ticket to free drinks, possibly dinner, and almost assuredly a fun-filled night to remember.

FORT LAUDERDALE TRIPS Some students have planned trips to the south. "It's never to early to plan. The places fill up so fast," said a representative of Rosenbluth Travel Agency.

Keystone Travel couldn't find much of anything for Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale because most of the cheaper fares have been fully booked by this time. The lowest fare they found was close to $500 for round-trip fare -without the added necessities of a room, food, and suntan lotion. Add those costs and the sum could be astronomical!

Susan Mansfield, travel agent, National Student Travel Services was able to offer an individual package deal to Fort Lauderdale for $880 for seven nights. "I know that's pretty high for a student's budget, but you have to remember it's student week," she said.

DRIVING TO FLORIDA Car trips can be planned easily and routes mapped out by travel agencies. This sometimes can save the student a lot of money. In place of airfare, however, are the expenses of gas, tolls, and possible car repairs. Of course, hotel accomodations aren't included as they would be in a package deal that the travel agent might find for you.

Generally then, most travel agents do not recommend car trips. In the long run they rea!ly don't pay.

STAYING OUTSIDE FORT LAUDERDALE Some travel agents recommend lodging outside of Fort Lauderdale. The costs are not as high, they claim, and you aren't caught amid the mass of confusion generally associated with the city.

Wench, however, believes that if you are going to Fort Lauderdale you'll do best if you go directly there and stay put. "Every year it gets wilder and wilder," he said. "One time it took me three hours to get across the bridge and into Fort Lauderdale."

As a rule of thumb, Wench does not tend to recommend Fort Lauderdale as a Spring Break retreat. "I think it's a disaster. I've been down there. The stuff you get for the money you're paying just isn't worth it," he said.

Part of the reason Fort Lauderdale is so expensive is that merchants raise their prices during the weeks that students flock to the area. They can safely raise their prices because they know that students will pay what they are asking.

"It's incredible!" said Wench who once paid $6.42 for a hamburger, french fries, and a coke at McDonald's (a meal that typically would run about $3.00 tops). "But you have to eat!"

Realizing that students don't head to Fort Lauderdale to hit the McDonald's in the area, he added, "Bars will have a one or two hour special, then jack up the prices again. By that time you're so drunk you don't realize what you're paying."

Wench does not discourage Fort Lauderdale Spring Break vacations, although he doesn't recommend them.

"Others (travel agents) run good trips and I don't knock them for it," he said. And while he speaks highly of the cruises he adds, "What it really boils down to is personal preference. If students want to go to Fort Lauderdale more power to them. It's their choice!"

CABRINI SPRING BREAK GETAWAYS Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, works with Wench in planning Cabrini's annual Spring Break getaways. This year DiRaddo had initially planned on offering a seven day cruise that would run students about $600.

She also was hoping to offer a trip to California similar to the one that was offered last year. But due to unexpected circumstances and a seeming lack of student interest, no group rate trips are available this year.

Each year Cabrini plans getaways with Villanova. "We do what they do, providing it doesn't go against the mission statement of the college," DiRaddo said. Villanova, however, doesn't have a group trip scheduled this year.

DiRa_ddostill encourages students to take such trips as the cruise over Fort Lauderdale vacations because she feels yo~ can ~et so much more out of it. Everything is basically paid for m one lump sum. The cruise includes accomodations, entertainment, alcohol, and other activities and neces~ities, while F~;t Lauderdale means paying for everythmg separately. Compared to the cruise you're probably not paying any less (going to Fort Lauderdale), but you're gettmg so much more," DiRaddo said.

She added that although nothing is being offered at a group rate this year, she would be happy to help anyone who is interested in making arrangements for their vacation.

But despite everything, Fort Lauderdale remains one of the most popular hot spots for Spring Break. DiRaddo thinks, however, that the interest that college students have in the area will eventually dwindle because the beach and the city will be taken over by teeny-boppers, as already seems to be happening. _

Travellingspur-of-themomentsaves dollars

by Penny Wise

"I don't have enough money," is the usual cry from students, from just about anyone, when asked why they aren't planning a trip somewhere for Christmas or summer vacation or spring break. Fortunately this needn't be such an obstacle anymore; at least not for the economy-minded shoppers willing to look before they book. Discount travel options found through discount travel clubs can offer help.

These new so-called "clearing houses" for unsold trips are offering transportation, tours, cruises, all discounted and sometimes as high as 70 percent for club members. The theory behind the discount travel clubs is that an empty airplane seat or cruise cabin, for example, makes no money and the little money that would be made by selling at discount is better than no money at all.

Most travel clubs do require a yearly membership fee or a fee every time a trip is booked. They usually operate through hotlines with recorded messages of the latest trips available and payment must be in full.

CONTESTS/BOGUS 'FREE' TRIPS Students searching for the cheapest ways to get to Fort Lauderdale are prime candidates for the many contests and raffles that tend to be popular around this time of year.

Villanova is only one of several groups holding a raffle for a free trip to Fort Lauderdale.

Students need to be aware, however, of some organizations who offer free trips, but don't tell you what you have to do to win them.

The American Prestige Series is one group that frequently visits Cabrini in the fall with chances to win a 'free' trip to Fort Lauderdale and other places. What they fail to tell you when you fill out your card is that in order to win the trip you must hold a show in your campus room for a group of friends.

Some travel clubs and their rules: Discount Travel International (DTI), The Ives Building, Suite 205,Narberth, PA 19072. DTI offers guaranteed reservations, tour and cruise accomodations and hotel, restaurant and car rental discounts in the United States.

Travellers must be able to leave on one to six week's notice and must pay a $45 membership fee, though they do receive a $25 credit towards their first trip. DTI boasts discounts up to 60 percent.

Moment's Notice, 40 East 49th Street, New York, NY 10017. (212) 750-9111.

Moment's Notice also offers a hotline with a recorded message that is changed daily.

Rather than a membership fee, travellers that end up booking a trip pay a $20 fee per trip. They say that travellers can expect savings anywhere from $100 to $1,000, sometimes more.

Claire Swann, junior, attended one of these shows and won a 'free' trip to Florida, herself. "I never heard from them about my trip, but my friend did eventually get the things she had ordered from the show," she said. "It really didn't matter to me that they never got in touch with me because all they were paying for was the hotel accomodations," she added.

DiRaddo said that such groups as this are generally not legitimate. Unless the organization has gone through the college for permission to be on campus it is likely that they 'are not on the level. She was never contacted by the American Prestige organization.

No matter what direction you decide to head in this spring break, there are some important tips to remember:

•If you haven't started to plan your

vacation yet, don't wait a second longer. You may already be too late.

•Check around. Call a lot of different travel agencies to find the best deal.

•Inquire about the charter lines and cheaper lines like People's Express.

•Look into the pros and cons of car trips and compare them to the airline opportunities.

•Closer to the time of your trip, call back to make -sure your flight is booked, your hotel accomodations are made, and everything is right. You don't want to end up sleeping on the beach because your hotel reservations were not made.

•Have fun!

Studentssacrificetans for tending the poor

by Christy Mason

When Spring Break is over, the "Fort Lauderdale jet set" will be showing off their sweatshirts, trading party stories, comparing bronzed skin. A select 20 students, however, who will venture to a mountain locale, will return with something deeper and more lasting than a tan.

These students are the ones who won't be sunning themselves on the beach. Instead, they'll be bringing sun. shine into the lives of others when they spend their one. week vacations in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia.

The West Virginia Appalachian region is a place where poverty prevails and education barely exists. It is a place where Catholics are the minority and church is the living room of a priest's home.

"The people there are poor, but they don't think they're poor," sa.id Betty Hogan, junior.

'I've been to Fort Lauderdaleand had my share of that sort of fun; Appalachiais the other extreme' -Randy Letko, senior

A group of 28 students will accompany Father Mark Falcone, O.Praem, and Beverly Reilly, campus ministers, this year on the 15-hour journey.

"It's a great mix of students, from freshmen to seniors, commuters to residents," Reilly said. "About 20 percent are 'veterans,' so the majority are first-timers, who just heard about the trip from people who've gone before."

The students' tasks while working with Project Appalachia are varied. Mainly, their job is to help salvage what is already there. Last year, this meant building barns, clearing fields, and cleaning houses. â&#x20AC;˘~s of yet, we don't know where-we'll be working. But there's an area in West Virginia that's had a lot of flooding problems, so I suspect we'll be needed there," Reilly said.

Peter Casazza, sophomore, who last' year worked with Project Appalachia, had the task ofrepairing one family's roof. The hole was so large that it allowed rain, snow, cold air and animals into the home.

As ~n additional "sharing-caring" facet to the project, the group will be working with the senior Cabrini Sisters in Philadelphia. A Sister has sponsored each project participant and will pray especially for them and their work durinl!' thP. week.

"It's a way for the Sisters to contribute to the project, since they can't be there in person," Reilly said. When the students return, they'll visit the Sisters and share with them the stories of the people they met and worked with, and the new ideas they've discovered.

The group has been meeting every Wednesday to prepare for their unUBual "vacation,'' using slides from other trips, group discussions and advice from former â&#x20AC;˘~ppalachian-eers" to answer any of their questions or concerns.

"The feeling I'm getting from the participants is that they are more concerned with the people they'll help than with themselves, Reilly said. They don't ask 'what will we be eating,' but 'what will we be doing for the people?'

That's usually the reason !hey chose to participate."

"My real incentive for going is humility," said Randy Lefko, senior, first-year participant. "I also see the entire week as a chance to experience something that I can

possibly write about in the future. I've been to Fort Lauderdale and had my share of that sort of fun; Appalachia is.the other extreme."

Reilly will be making her first Project Appalachia trip this year, although she has worked with similar projects in Maryland before. She is anticipating the trip, but she is also hesitant about it. "I know that once I get there, I will hate to leave them," Reilly said. "It's almost a different world. While they're thankful for at least one meal a day, we'll throw away food like it's nothing."

The Appalachian experience, according to those who have gone there, is a great way to spend Spring Break.

"When you come back from Florida, all you get is a tan," said Hogan. "When you come back from Appalachia you're on a natural high. You know you've really touched these people's lives, and they've touched yours."

Skiing or sunning,the choice 1syours

by Kimberly Kovach

Calling all collegians. What are your choices for Spring Break other that Fort Lauderdale? How about a non-stop week of socializing with old and new friends, maybe hitting the slopes on a ski trip or sunning it up on an island?

Low prices are easy to come by these days if you are a college student. If you do some looking around you should be able to find a good deal, especially with all of the "great escape" packages available designed to help you get away from it all.

A ski trip can be made affordable through a midweek special package that takes you to Stratton Mountain, Vt. This package includes on-mountain accomodations, all-day lift tickets, entertainment, and great skiing for the price of $49.50 a day.

Although skiing is an expensive hobby, you can find information about this costcutting package and others on bulletin boards around campus and in area stores, in ski magazines, and through travel agencies. In some areas, if you run a bus trip for a ski week, you will be accomodated for free.

On the warmer side, how about a trip to an island? Wouldn't it be nice to lay on the beaches all day and then dance and party with your friends all night? Entertainment on the islands is not hard to come by.

A vacation week in Bermuda or Nassau in the Bahamas will cost around $400. This price will include airfare, accomodations, gratuities, and some tours, discounts, nightclub and beach party admissions.

On the islands, you will find plenty of sun and swimming, sailing and windsurfing, dancing and gambling, as well as other entertainment. A trip like this could cost you a lot of money unless you plan care-

fully, making certain that you are aware of what is and is not included in your package.

Another way to save is by reserving a room with three other people; a room occupied by four people will cost less than a room occupied by only two. Additionally, there are different classes of hotels, ranging from those for the economy-minded to the deluxe beachfromt ones that will obviously cost a good deal more.

Travel agencies realize the budget they are working with when college students are their clients. Be sure to insist that your budget is limited.

A trip like this could cost you a lot of money unless you plan carefully,making certain that you are aware of what is and is not included in your package.

Off-broadway actor picks up • pieces

by James M. Cahill

"Picking up the pieces is never easy," Jeanne Fisher newly- appointed temporary theatre director, said.

It is difficult to tell whether she is alluding to the emotional threads tied to the previous theatre director's involvement with the college or the physical clean-up of debris left from the running of last semester's haunted house.

Fisher has faced many up-hill battles since her appointment last semester. These battles have ranged from actually having to sweep up the mess left by the students involved with the haunted house to departmental budget problems according to Fisher.

Concerning the haunted house debris, Fisher said, "I think they were just too exhausted after giving their all to the house."

In previous years, students helped build sets for theatre productions. Now, however, Fisher is on her own. "I began working with the actors in the play, I didn't realize I'd have to build the sets too."

Although she may appear to be a new face on campus, Fisher has worked in the Children's Performing Arts program at Cabrini on Saturdays for five years.

"Through the Loquitur and other sources, I sensed the anger and hostility of the campus community toward the administration of the college (referring to the lapse in theatre direction.) So, when Dr. Zurek asked me if I was interested in the position, I jumped at it. I wanted to do what I could," Fisher said.

Chippendalesdancing for women only

by Cara Graham

Chippendale- adj. of or relating to a late 18th century English furniture style characterized by graceful outline and often ornate rococo ornamentation, according to Webster's Dictionary.

According to my mother a Chippendale was a rock-'n'-roll singer. She would ask, "What do they sing?" Someone is the newsroom thought a Chippendale was one of the horses that pulled the Budweiser wagon.

No, a Chippendale is not a piece of furniture, a rock singer, or a horse-that's a Clidesdale, or the Disney cartoon characters Chip and Dale. A Chippendale is for women only.

Valentine's Eve was very special for six Cabrini women.

Traveling route 202 to Pulsations Nightclub in Media, the six celebrated the Chippendales' performance on college night.

The hosts, Chippendales, were all smiles before and during the performance; they mingled with the audience and were more than willing to pose for pictures.

At the s_tart of the show, the master-of-ceremony appeared on the dance floor wearing roller skates and introduced the hosts and waiters to the audience. The Chippendale hosts were greeted with enthusiatic cheers.

"I was so excited before the show. I was climbing out of my skin just before we left for Pulsations." Rita Genovese, sophomore, said.

With a video segment created by ".1£vening Magazine," Pulsations used the film to prelude each act.

The first dancer, named the "Unknown Flasher," entertained the audience with his comic routine and dancing. While the second dancer, known as the "Barbarian" swung across the

room to attack the cavemen after his woman. The third dancer, a construction worker, conformed to the role of a man whose lady had left him for someone else. While the fourth and final dancer, the "Perfect Man," was constructed from the best anatomy parts of the Chippendales by an evil scientist.

In reality, Chippendales was conceived by Nick 1Jeno1a,who is also the director and producer. The male erotic dancers presently entertain audiences in New York and Philadelphia.

Remarking about the show, MaryLynn Buddy, sophomore, said, "I was nervous, I didn't know what to expect. I soon overcame it and the show was absolutely breathtaking. When I finally got to Pulsations my enthusiasm was boosted when I saw the hosts!"

The show is an audience participation show wrth only one rule -you can look but you can't touch. The women can show affection for favorite dancer by giving a $1 tip in exchange for a kiss. Sometimes the dancer will show affection for the lady by dancing with her.

A mixed audience ranging from college students to older women housed the nightclub. Much of the audience said the show was "superb."

One women commented, "It's amazing. They (the Chippendales) make everyone feel as though they are dancing just for them. They make everyone feel beautiful."

The next college night to see the Chippendales at Pulsations is Thursday, March 13. All tickets a;e $15 which includes a sandwich and salad buffet. Ages from 18 and up are permitted and non-alcoholic beverages are available. Unlike some other performances, cameras are allowed and pictures can be taken at any time,

'I try to treatmy actorsas I wouldwantto be treated.

Actorsare sensitivepeople.

I find I get the best performances when I treat my actorswith encouragement.'

-Jeanne Fisher A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, New York, Fisher, in 1953, played opposite Jack Lemmon in a Broadway revival of the screwball comedy, "Room Service." Since then, she has played roles in many off-Broadway productions, television commercials and dinner theatres.

Film credits include such movies as "Taps," "Fighting Back," "Blow Out," "Rocky III," and "Trading Places." She also played Stella in an off-Broadway production of "Streetcar Named Desire," in which Tennessee Williams was in attendance for many of the rehearsals.

"I never stop learning. If a seminar comes up, I'll grab it. I also read constantly; I read scenes like mad," Fisher said.

With the theatre's production of"The Miracle Worker" set to open on April 24, the big question is, how is Fisher as director?

"I try to treat my actors as I would want to be treated. Actors are sensitive people. I find I get the best performances when I treat my actors with-encouragement. Even in your criticism, you want to encourge creativity," Fisher said on her directing style.

With any change in position there will always be comparisons to past dealings with theatre directors.

According to Paul Cauchi, junior, "We're here to take from different directors, to take what we can learn to better ourselves as actors, instead ofjudging people. This is the real world; you work under many different directors at different times in your career."

"It's all of the actors job to build this department up," Marisol Rodriguez, junior, said. "She can't do it all alone, she needs people, she needs actors."

Satin and Sequindonnedmansionball

by Leah Cascarina

Silk, satin and sequins were donned by Mansion residents as they spent the night dancing with their guests and socializing with resident-friends for the second annual Mansion Ball held Saturday night.

Vases with pink carnations on tables covered with red cloths lined the balcony high above the dance floor, overlooking the ''hoop-la" of the special affair.

The residents' dates' apparel was equally impressive. They wore attire ranging from sporty suits to black tuxedos. Even Chris Smith,junior, who is normally seen around campus sporting his camouflage fatigues, donned a tuxedo for the occasion. "I really wanted to shock a few people," Smith said. '½.11the energy and hard work to prepare for the occasion really paid off. Everyone had a really good time," Peg Cirone,junior, Mansion president said.

The event was highlighted by a midnight toast, given by Lisa Schwartz, senior. The residents and their guests toasted to the Mansion's past, present and future accomplishments.

Considered a success, the residents are already looking ahead to next year, and the coming of the third annual event.

Seniors reminiscebefore moving on

by Areta Hladky

The past four years have been spent dedicating much of their time to basketball and academics. Now it's almost over. As their senior year comes to an end, members of the men's and women's basketball teams share how they feel about having been a part of Cabrini College.

Monica Cain: " Being on the basketball team gave me a chance to meet a lot of people at Cabrini since I was a commuter."

Although Cain was out for most of the season due to a knee operation, she still feels like she is very much a part of the team. "I still feel important," she said.

Having the team make it to the playoffs this year made it a special last season for her as well.

I

"I had a good four years of playing, and knowing we played well this year makes it easier to move on," Cain said.

After graduation she would like to work in a hospital as an administrator. She'd also like to coach.

Pat Nolen: "The last season at Cabrini for me, I think, is special and I've taken it rather seriously but tried to enjoy it as much as possihle."

Monica Cain

Nolen's fondest memories are from his sophomore year, when Cabrini upset Coppin State College in Baltimore and also qualified for the District 19 Championship for the first time.

"I'm happy with my senior year. I feel it was very successful. It would be good for my career and my last season ifwe go back to districts this year."

Nolen feels he's ready to move on, but knowing it's his senior year, leaving a lasting impression for Cabrini puts pressure on his playing.

After graduation Nolen is hoping to work for PIE, an insurance company in Plymouth Meeting. He would also like to coach high school- or college- level teams, plus stay in shape.

Jerome Chennault: Chennault has been a member of the Cavaliers for two years. ''At first it was hard to adapt to the coaching philosophy, but I enjoyed it and met a lot of people."

Chennault feels he could have contributed more to the team his last season, but he's happy with it especially since he got a chance to help freshman players.

"I hate leaving a team with a tradition of champs. I'll miss the team and the coaches."

Beating Eastern College after six overtimes in the 1985 season stands out as Chennault's best memory.

Pat Nolen

Jerome Chennault

"Being a part of the basketball team helped me out with school financially, and allowed me to meet a lot of new people and experience different things."

Gilbert's most memorable experience was flying out to Chicago to play in Iowa over winter break.

"It was my first time away from home and my first airplane ride. All the guys were teasing me about it."

Gilbert is looking forward to possibly working for Meridian bank after graduation. In his spare time he's interested in coaching and definitely staying athletically involved.

"I plan on getting a job after graduation, but I still want to keep in shape, maybe play basketball in a league," Chennault said.

Michelle Tarbotton: "I had a great year," Tarbotton said.

"Being in the playoffs was a great way to end my senior year."

Tarbotton's best memory was the game against Spring Garden in 1984. ''A jump shot at the end won the game. We beat them for the first time."

Beating Eastern College after six overtimes stands out as Chennault'sbest memory.

Tarbotton is very happy with her senior year. "I ended my career here on a good note." She is very excited about the playoffs.

Overall, Tarbotton is glad she chose Cabrini. "I'll miss it."

After graduation, Tarbotton hopes to get a teaching job and coach high school basketball or field hockey.

Chuck Gilbert: Gilbert feels he has successfully balanced a student and athletic schedule his two years at Cabrini

Robert Davis: "I'm going to hate to leave. We have a great bunch of guys. I'll miss the travelling and collegiate basketball itself, but I'll never stop playing."

In 1981Davis remembers Cabrini's game against Beaver College, when he came up with the last defensive play. This was his freshman year, and Davis averaged 19 points a game.

"My senior year got off to a bad start. I wanted to contribute more to the team since it was my last season."

Davis feels that being a part of the basketball team has given him social and travel opportunities. ''After graduation I hope to attend graduate school and maybe coach on a high school level."

Women's Volleyball: .

Playingout of season

by Robin McKeon While the other fall sports teams have retired until September of '86, Cabrini's women's volleyball team is still going strong.

They play on a winter league through the United States Volleyball Association (USVBA), whose season lasts from January to March every winter. Their league name is "Cabrini Champion."

"We play with the USVBA," Vicky Rodriguez, senior and league member said, "so we can keep in shape and don't get sloppy."

"The winter season definitely helps you keep in shape," Michele Jones,junior and league member added. "It also keeps you mentally remembering."

The team's coach, Jerry Szabo, is responsible for getting these athletes involved in a winter league. This is the fourth consecutive year that they have played in the winter league with the USVBA. "They don't have to play," Helen Goodwin, director of women's athletics said.

Amnion Crisis Pregnancy Center

"However, anyone who is on the fall volleyball team can play with the winter league."

The league consists of tournaments, not games. There is one tournament a month (usually lasting a full day), so the team tries to practice once a week.

"It is very relaxing to play only one day a weekend, once a month," said Rodriguez.

"Once a week practice, once a month tournament. It's fun," Jones said. "You don't feel like you have to win; you don't have the tension of playing for division or regional titles."

"It's interesting and you get to meet a lot of people," Jones said. "Most of the people are in it for fun-mothers, teachers, etc. There really isn't much competition. Everyone wants to win, but it's okay if you don't," she added.

"I enjoy it a lot," Rodriguez said, "You meet people, and you don't have the pressure of playing during the season."

SGA Exectutive board working hard on improving the efficiency, structure, and organization of SGA through the new SGA Handbook. The book is built on the foundations of better management and productivity throughout all the clubs and classes. (photo by Jo Long) As mentioned earlier in the first issue of Insights for the second semester, one of the Student Government Association's major goals is the production of an SGA Handbook. Incorporated into this guide will be all of the necessary information for SGA affiliated clubs, classes, and organizations to function more productively.

The Executive Board has taken complete responsibility for the writing, accumulation and production of the handbook in conjunction with Colleen DiRaddo, moderator of the SGA beginning over Christmas break, the board brainstormed ideas, defined desired content,and eventually began gathering information and writing the text ofthe handbook. At this particular point and time, the board is in the first drat t stage of writing and is ready for the initial editing of the work.

Among the many topics covered in the handbook, a very practical one is the coordination of a campus event or activity. Too often, new. officers of a club or class are expected to organize large undertakings not knowing where to find necessary information. Beginning with the very earliest stages of planning, the Social Activities Board is carrying readers through the entire process, step by step. Some questions addressed dealt with who to see for what needs, where to turn in reserving locations, vans and equipment and a variety of other specifics important in planning an event.

Budgeting and the keeping of financial records is an area where many treasurers of clubs and classes find numerous uncertainty. Realizing this need, the handbook covers budget hearing procedures, how to keep financial records and how to requisition necessary funds. A new dimension of budgeting will also be included in terms of a semester-end financial report, to be filer:Jwith the Executive Board. It is our hope that these reports will give future officers

An evaluation of events and programs sponsored by SGAaffiliated clubs will be included in

hopesthat this willassistthe Executive Board in keeping a better perspective of what has been happening across campus. There evaluations can aid in the better programming of future events due to the fact that both the good and negative points of the event will be discussed. Summarizing these forms, a semester-end report shall also be explained and expected of each SGA affiliated clubs.

Finally, a guide to the preparation for the transitional period from old to new officers will be addressed in the, handbook. This section will function as an aid to new officers so that they may be better informed as to the needs of their role, leading to an easier move into their respective positions. guidance and provide a source to help the SGA treasurer in the allocation of funds each semester.

Some very practical topics such as how to take minutes, how to write a better letter, the running of a meeting and the workings of elections are all included in the text of the handbook.

Such information will be a building block for SGA club and class officers to manage their organizations more effectively.

The main objective of the SGA Handbook is to provide the various organizations on campus with a resource for location information necessary for them to functions more efficiently.

Through the many organizational and financial procedures provided in the handbook, better organization for SGA-affiliated groups is the ultimate goal. With these management helps in one collective volume, the end result of a better filing system of accessible information and better · communication between the various elements of SGA is anticipated to be , achieved.

The Master Planning Committee convened on Jan. 29 with a clear charge that the planning process has to be re-established. The immediate task of the committee will be to formulate a planning model that will clarify how planning is accomplis_hed at Cabrini College and further, to establish a time frame and reporting mechanism. The purpose of planning is to provide a future thrust and perspective for the College. In the past month, the various Academic departments have been assessing current trends and needs and what impact they may have in providing quality academic programming. The Student Services and Development Committees have begun to make their own assessments as well.

Master Planning Committee membership: President, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Academic Dean, Vice President for Development, Dean of Students, Business Manager, (4) elected Faculty members, President of Faculty Senate, Director of Admissions, Director of Continuing Education, Director of Financial Aid,

Director of Ubrary, Director of Physical Plant, Director of Public Relations, Director of Resident Ute, Director of Student Activities, Coordinator of Master's Program, (5) Student represenatives, members of the Board of Trustees and Presidents' Advisory Council.

On Feb. 12, the committee began its preliminary work of reviewing the Mission and Goals of the College, and develp assumptions upon which plans will be made and implemented. Assumptions are environmental factors we may or may not control such as demographics, economics, career trends, societal needs, etc.

The next point to be agreed upon is an actual model for planning that will allow for and encourage the ideas and energies of as many college community members as possible, and capitlizes on the Cabrini spirit that has inspired the successful growth and progress over the past years.

Watch for periodic updates on the Master Planning Committee.
