Communications, computerscience split grant

Tappinghidden talent

by Robin McKeon Cabrini College has been granted $45,000 by the state of Pennsylvania to use towards new educational equipment. The grant is funded as part of an excess in the 1985-86 Pennsylvania taxpavers' monev. The bulk of the college's. grant, $35,000, was given to the English and communications department because of continuous efforts and requests by the department to obtain necessary television equipment. The new, high-cost equipment will improve the capacities of the television production studio. "The grant is a chance to meet a request," Mary Ann Biller, academic dean, said of the television equipment. "These are high-cost items we knew we could not get through capital funds," Biller added. "This is the second largest amount of moriey we have ever received for our department from outside funds," Jerome Zurek, chairperson of English and communications, said.

'This is the second largest amount of money we have ever receivedfor the department from outside funds' -'"lerome Zurek, chairman of English and communications "It's all going toward television: two high-quality cameras, an editing system, and a time-based corrector (a machine that synchronizes recording speeds)," Zurek said. "These are needs we have had for a couple of years " Zurek said. "We have been trying to get them 'funded, and we finally have," he added. The remaining $10,000 of the grant was put toward the computer science department. "I am always waiting for money from the budget or anywhere else," Julie Luckraft, chairperson of computer science, said. "We are buying two additional IBM person~) computers," Luckraft said, "It (the money l 1s great!" "Last year our computers showed what I call a 'mid-life crisis,"' Biller said. "They are already two or three years old." "The use of computers is growing. Business majors and education majors also use the computers," Biller said. Computers are a "high-ticket" item, according to Biller because their cost cannot be met through the schdol's capital funds (academic budget). This is why $10,000 of the grant was given to the computer science department. "The requests always. exceed the funds," Biller said. "Our other source of funds is state grants," she added. "We had a one-time surplus of funds," Pennsylvania State Senator Richard A. Tilghman, said, "It will probably never happen again." The surplus granted approximately $16.5 m~llion to be distributed to full-degree colleges m Pennsylvania. "Community colleges, junior colleges, and any other college already receiving state ai~ vi.:erenot eligible," Tilghman said. "The $16.5 m1lhon was divided according to the average number of students," he added. The only guideline for the grant is t~at the money be used for high-technology_ equipment manufactured or sold in Pennsylvama. "Of course V:ewant the money to go back into the state since it is the taxpayers' money," Tilghman, said. '"The idea is to help Pennsylvania industry," he added. "It has been a very successful program,' Tilghman said.

BAevaluations:

Assessingstrengths weaknesses by Kathy Hibbard It is slipped under your door in early December amidst the chaos of finals and other end-of-the-semester activities. You are asked to fill it out and return it to your floor representative as soon as possible. You do your duty and return the form, or do you? You leave for Christmas break and probably forget you ever evaluated your resident.assistant (RA). What is done with these evaluations? Are all evaluations returned? Who evaluates your evaluations? How did this year's RA's fare in the first-semester evaluations? Are RA's adorned with gold stars for good behavior and branded with an "F" for failure? According to Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life, the evaluations attempt to determine, from the students' point of view, the strengths and weaknesses that the RA has exhibited during the semester. "It is a data collection exercise," Lilly said. "Data is assembled from the students to see how well the RA's are performing. After the data is collected, I have individual meetings with each of the RA's to discuss the results of the evaluations," she said. Since the evaluations require campus residents to evaluate fellow students, certain subjective elements are expected to be contained in the evaluation results. "To make the student evaluations more objective, I lay all the results out and discard the all-negative comments, and the unreasonably positive comments that make the RA look like he or she can walk on water," Lilly said. "She (Mary Ellen) presents the results of the evaluations in tabulation form and then she presents her own insights, so I get both points of view," Pat McKenna, junior, RA, said. In reality, the RA's receive feedback on their performance from three different perspectives. "The evaluation process consists of three different components: student evaluations, evaluations done by the resident managers, and then I put my two cents in during the individual meetings," Lilly said. According to Lilly the evaluations conducted by the resident managers provide a balance and an objective view to the whole evaluation process. "There might be an RA who gets great evaluations because he or she allows anything to go on. From our point of view (the resident life staffs), that would not be an effective RA," Lilly said. Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of this year's RA's, Lilly commented on the duties of an RA and the nature of the position.

"The common strength I noted is the perception on the part of the students that the RA's show genuine care and concern for the people living in their houses or on their floors," Lilly said. "The weaknesses are more personal," Lilly said. "The thing that needs to be worked on would.be that some of the RA's styles need to be modified so that they can best reach the students with whom they are dealing," Lilly said. "I wish all of the students would take the time to fill them out," Colantuono, said. "My floor (first floor Woodcrest) had the greatest return with 24 handed in out of 42 residents," Colantuono said. "Any student who takes the time and effort to fill them out I think takes them seriously," Missy DiPasquale, senior, RA, said. "We (the Mansion) only got 19 back out of 38 residents, however," DiPasquale added. Commenting on the timing of the evaluation process, DiPasquale said, "I would like to see the evaluations distributed mid-semester so any criticisms or comments could get acted upon rather than waiting until Christmas break." "I handed mine in late," said Deana Simmons, freshman. "It wasn't an official, organized thing. It's lacking in that way. A lot of people throw them away and do not hand them in because the evaluations are not presented or taken as a serious thing," she said. Offering a different opinion, Dina Branco, sophomore, said, "I think the evaluations are taken seriously by both students and the RA's because they are used by RA's as a resource to improve their plan of action, and they are used by the resident managers to monitor the RA's performance and offer helpful suggestions." According to one student, the evaluation results are not discussed with the right people. "In many cases, I think the evaluations are fruitless because the evaluation results are never discussed with the residents in his or her dorm," a senior male said. "A meeting should be held whereby the RA's will talk to their residents about the evaluations and what can be done to improve the way the dorm functions," he said. Commenting on this suggestion, Lilly did not rule out the idea. However, she presented certain reservations. "If such a meeting were to take place, students would then realize that RA's do follow up on the evaluations, although this should be evident in the changes that are made after the RA meets with me," ~illy said.

Cutsdamaging "TonightlspeakdirectlytoAm~rica'syounge:ge~eration- because you hold the destmy of our nation m your hands." President Reagan spoke these words to America during his State of the Union Address. That same night he introduced proposed budget cuts in the area of education and student financial assistance. These proposals are sure to destroy the future of higher education. With an uneducated population,it is certain that this destiny would be a sad one. America is one of the strongest powers in the world and yet our government is saying that they could care less about educating us. What are pennies to the defense budget are serious dollars to education. The fact that the Department of Education backs Reagan "1000 per cent" is a sobering thought. We are the ones affected, and we are entitled to an education. It's a shame that our president doesn't think the future of America depends on it, even though "We hold the destiny of the nation in our hands."

Typical, I thought to myself, as the prospective freshmen chuckled and their parents looked at me, dismayed. "Of course the women who live here are 21," I said as I ushered them swiftly out of the house.

Budget proposalsmean.uncertainty by Michelle M. Bamber For students who are going home for spring break, a possible way to spend part of that vacation might be securing a definite well-paying summer job to fund next year's tuition.

"The GrammRudman-Hollings legislation passed through the House and Senate with major cuts in domestics. The education budget acts disproportionally on students. It's a reality that student aid is at stake," Ozer said. Arlene McEvilla-Dittbrenner, director of financial aid, said the proposals will

An important factor which will have a large affect on financial assistance is the rise of the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) origination fee from five percent to five and one-half percent. "When a student has a U8L for $2,500 and it is disbursed half and half each semester, the amount of the actual money will be less because of the fee going up," McEvilla-Ditbrenner said.

of Student Financial Aid Administrators said, "This is serious. The reductions proposed for fiscal year 1987 are real and they'll occur if there are no changes." One student, wishing to remain anonymous said, "My dad told me if this all happens I may not see my senior year." A report issued by Charles B. Saunders, Jr., vice president for Governmental Relations American Council on Education summed up the proposed budget cuts in writing. "The Administration's student aid proposals would eliminate or reduce awards for over three million students, whose only alternative source of assistance would force them to carry a higher burden of debt."

-Review-Headingwest on Lancaster Avenue by Donna Horsley

When eating on the Main Line you think about Minella's, fast-food chains and exclusive restaurants like La Forchette, com;eniently located in Wayne but unfortunately, not conveniently priced. But what about romantic dining without the college crowds? Try heading west on Lancaster to Cafe La Grande, located in Malvern, to farm lands (yes, country) and a· slightly slower pace of life. Set in contemporary style, Cafe La Grande houses a mellow clientele, its patrons ranging in age and dress from 25 through 50, hillbilly to jet-setter. While at Cafe La Grande, I sat before dinner in the restaurant's spacious bar listening to a guitarist string chords while harmonizing James Taylor lyrics. Crowded but relaxing, the atmosphere offered a n~ce alternative from local college bars, despite higher cost for drinks (about $3.50).

Spring break ,n Aruba •

by Donna Horsley

After months of planning for their trip to Aruba, the four women bustled through J.F.K airport. At baggage check, Laura Sullivan's luggage, filled beyond capacity, ripped. Laughing, she said she hoped this was no indication of what the trip would be like. Little did she know. It certainly was no whim to spend Spring Break on a Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela for Sullivan, junior, her friend Alisa Zambo and classmates Maureen Dunigan and Amy Capozucca. Capozucca said, "The money used was the money I saved with the intention to use it for Spring Break." Through a friend of Sullivan's mother, the four women got reasonable discount rates with Travelwell Travel Agency, Somerset, N.J. "She gets group tours. We went with 500 senior citizens with no strings attached," Sullivan said. According to Capozucca, "We got a really good price: about $500. You can't get a trip to Aruba for eight days at that price." Eight days was the original plan. Eleven degrees from the equator, the vacation was progressing as initially intended. The women not only basked in the island's warm sun, but also shopped in town during mornings, went snorkeling and horseback-riding during afternoons, and spent funfilled evenings at various bars and restaurants.

By the end of the week, though, the women looked forward to returning home and comparing tans with those who were Fort Lauderdale-bound. Later that evening, the bronzed beach-goers awaited a take- off which never occurred. The plane's engine caught on fire, leaving the passengers and crew stuck on Aruba indefinitely. To make matters worse, the government of the island was threatening to stage a strike.

With plans to leave Saturday evening, the young women packed their suitcases minus beachwear and suntan oil, forwarding all luggage to the plane so they could enjoy one last day on Aruba's beaches. "We didn't know exactly what happened, but we knew we'd be delayed an extra day," Capozucca said.

The restaurant's main attraction is the "Food Show" a "new concept in eating out." The purpose of the "Food Show" is to "elevate your experiences from the ordinary to the extraordinary," while tempting the palate with chilli, pasta, seafood, poultry, homemade soups, garlic bread, and a dessert bar featuring frozen yogurt. Averaging between $3 and $4 for an entree, "The Food Show" is an excellent way to a well-balanced meal; it is both satisfying and nutritionally sound for the health conscious. Although a great idea for the salad lover or any health freak getting high off "fiberfilled" grain muffins, the "Food Show" at Cafe La Grande is probably not satisfying enough by itself for the average diner. At $9.95 including the "Sundae Show," it is not really worth the price. I suggest ordering the "Food Show" with an entree you've never tried before and do some experimenting. Portions at Cafe La Grande are equal in comparison to other fine restaurants, not heavily spiced nor well salted. Youwould expect to be paying for not just quality foo!l,but service and atmosphere as well. Fast, non-imposing service is just what ycruget with no snobbish undertones. Not forgetting about the salad fanatics wishing for a nutritious evening, a solution is in sight. If you're willing to give up Cafe La Grande's cozy,romantic setting, you can dabble with the dressings, herbs and spices at the owner of Cafe La Grande's original establishment, La Grande Salad, located in Chadds Ford. Acclaimed by Philadelphia Magazine's "Best of Philly" restaurant reviews, crowds go to La Grande Salad to sample the better of the two salad bars.

"I liked the library - the books were really neat," said Philip, 13. Philip wants to · be a priest. The soft-spoken boy with a calm disposition, appropriately enough, had his hands folded almost constantly while sitting down. Philip was just one of the seven students that Cabrini opened its doors to last Friday. The children were all pupils of the Vanguard lower school in Paoli who came for a tour of the various career possibilities the college has to offer. (Vanguard caters to children with learning difficulties and social adjustment problems. l The tour was the idea of Vicky Leahy, senior, who is doing her student teaching at the school. Through the tour Leahy hopes to introduce her pupils to possible future occupations. "They have been learning all about careers in school. We are trying to give them hands-on experience," Leahy said. The children were given a tour of the Holy Spirit Library, the cafeteria (managed by Seiler's Food Service) and Cabrini's radio station, WCAB. Starting in the library, Anita Johnson, director, showed the students around the building and told them all about the library's procedures and the responsibilities of being a librarian. Mike Higgins, chief manager trainee, Seiler's Food Service showed the group around the cafeteria and the behind-thescenes operations in the kitchen. Robert, 12, who claims to be a "chef extraordinaire" when it comes to making pizza, said "The kitchen was great. I loved watching the people cook." Robert hopes to be a chef one day. Blonde-haired and fair-skinned Heather, 11, sat across from Robert. She wiped a drop of ice cream from her preppy pink and gray sweater vest, and chimed in, "I liked the kitchen just because it had a lot of food!"

Also concerned, Capozucca said, "They put out a broadcast (over Aruba airwaves) for natives to host passengers. We chose to sign up to go sleep in a hotel." After fighting "old people pushing us to get to the taxis" and finding no hotel Space at 3 a.m., the exhausted women tried to sleep in a hotel lobby. Finally the hotel's manager said he would find a place for the women. "He took 1,1sdown a long corridor. It looked like a broom closet. I thought, 'Oh God, where are they sticking us!' We walked into the penthouse, " Capozucca said. The flight delay gave the women an extra day at Aruba, all meals and expenses free. This was but a small consolation, though, to Dunnigan, who spent her remaining money phoning home in a desperate panic to keep to a week's overnight babysitting job for a Radnor family which was supposed to start Sunday evening. Without anything else to do, the four women spent Sunday enjoying the beach and awaiting news of their departure. Finally, they were notified of the midnight take-off.

Balancingmusic, family, and doctorate by Jeanne Reineberg

Amid the papers, pictures, books, and the like that clutter the vast desk, there sits a nameplate, a very special gift from a loving sister. It sits right up front, the first thing you see as you look across to the person seated casually behind the desk. The nameplate reads: Adeline C. Bethany, Ed.D. For Bethany, over five years of hard work is finally over, and her quest for her doctorate degree is complete. To say she is tickled pink would be the closest to accuracy. "I had to keep lead weights in my pockets to keep my feet on the ground," she said. She was granted her doctorate in education from Nova University, a school which is located in Florida, but has programs in other areas in the nation as well. According to Bethany, the program was limited to working professionals and all classes were on Saturdays. "It was very stimulating because the people were so interesting and really had to be self-motivated individuals," she said. Many of Bethany's students seem to recognize this same self- motivation in her and her dedication to achieving the doctorate. "I think her doctorate is well-deserved. She is a very hard worker and the degree she has finally earned proves her dedication to the field," Larry Aquino, junior, said. What motivated Bethany to return to school for her doctorate? "I really do enjoy studying, and being in higher education, it's appropriate to have a terminal degree," she said. It is still not out of the question that she will again return to school in the future. "Now if I want to go back, I'll have the freedom to take courses that I really want to take," she added. The time commitment required is one factor Bethany will not miss. Now that it's

"So, what do we call him?" "Call who?" !'Arthur ...! mean Dr. Arthur ...! mean Dr. Young." "Dr. Young?" Yes, that's the title Arthur E. Young will expect to hear from now on. Young, who recently received his doctorate in Language and English - Specialization: ·Reading/Language -Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, is finding it as strange as his students are to hear the title Dr. Young appli~d to himself. But, "It makes me smile," he said. Earning the degree capped off a year of achievements for Young who also was granted tenure and awarded the Lindback Award this past year. Young made his first appearance at Cabrini in 1975. He began as a part-time English instructor and resident manager to 14 men of the first male residency (which was what is now Rudy Rooyman's Counseling Center). Since then, he has become an active member of the campus and is especially noted for his work in developing the Center for Academic Reinforcement (CARe). "There were many students with academic difficulties. They had the abilities, but not the skill to study," Young said, explaining CARe's origin. With 10 years of study now behind him, Young hopes to work on expanding and improving the center. What would prompt someone to devote 10 years to pursue another degree?

over, she said she feels such "relief spelled with capital letterE. I think my family is glad it's over. I couldn't have done it without them. Everyo·,1e'sbeen so supportive. I am so touched by the interest that so many people have in me," she said. "Even though she was studying for her doctorate, she put so much time into the needs of her students," Denise Hurley, freshman, said. The bulk of Bethany's years of study have been devoted to research for her final thesis. She did a national study and analysis of community/college choruses and the factors associated with their successes. This entailed communication with at least 1169 colleges nationwide and the eventual tabulation of a questionnaire from 326 different college choruses. Bethany was recently granted tenure by the college. This fact, receipt of her doctorate, and the overwhelming success of a concert she gave with Delaware County Community Chorus and the Lansdowne Symphony have made for a very successful year. Bethany works with and does music for the St. Francis Players, is historian for the Pennsylvania State Music Education Asso"ciation,and is director of Cabrini's own college1community chorus. "I love bringing the cultural events to the campus, even if they aren't well-attended. I feel it's important, and the benefit will eventually be seen," she said. In recent years, Bethany was nominated to receive the Hazlett Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts. She also fondly remembers the birth of her granddaughter, who is now two, and is happy that she will have more time to devote to her. With the years of study behind her, Bethany said she will now have time to catch up with all the movies and such that she has missed over the past five years and enjoy the title and responsibilities of her degree. "It's so new, and so exciting," she said.

"I enjoy reading, and in my experience I see a lot of students who don't know how to read. And it's a good field to fit into my future plans," Young said.

'I don'tknowif I expected bellsto go off or the sunto comeout or the skiesto part,but I expectedmore thanwhat happened.I quesswhenyouworkso nard for somethingand then it'soverjust likethat it hitsyouand yousay 'My God, it'sover." -Arthur Young

Students seemed equally enthusiastic and impressed by Young's high goals and achievements. "His dedication is shown by the way he has worked so hard on his dissertation to earn his doctorate. That dedication comes through in his teaching, his involvement with CARe and in his overall attitude towards his students," said Shelagh McGinn, senior.

The 10 years of study have been devoted mostly to course work, experimentation, research, and synthesis of material for his dissertation. Entitled "How to Encouage Personal Response of Students to the Literature They Read," Young had to publicly defend his work before his degree was granted. "What he wrote his dissertation on is really important," Jerome Zurek, chairman, English and communications, said. "What he's done has had an influence on our own department and will have an influence on English departments and colleges nationally." It is a concept that is typical of elementary and high school, but not really used yet in colleges, Zurek explained. For Young, it seems strange for everything to be over so quickly after all the work put into the doctorate. Young said, "I don't know ifl expected bells to go off or the sun to come out or the skies to part, but I expected more than what happened. I guess when you work so hard for something and then it's over just like that, it hits you and you say 'My God, it's over."' However Young added, "I did jump up and down like Rocky for about 30 seconds." Looking back on the extensive amount of time involved in working toward the degree, Young is elated with the fact he will finally have a little time to devote to himself and some of his interests such as swimming, listening to the radio, and watching "Dynasty." "Now I'm freer to concentrate on Linda Evans," he said. "I'll have time to discover what I'm really interested in." With the experience of going after his doctorate behind him, Young gives advice for students who are thinking about furthering their education in the same manner. "Put your egos on hold, endure, and - keep saying to yourself, 'It will be over."'

Cavs shootingfor Kansas City by James M ..Cahill The letters and numerals all come flying at you like an overturned bowl of alphabet soup: NAIA District 19, EPAC, ESAC, NCAA Division III ...... But what does it all really mean? What is the Cabrini men's basketball team really fighting for? EPAC stands for Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. This league includes Cabrini, Allentown, Eastern, Lincoln, and Spring Garden Colleges. The conference was formed three years ago, and the Cavaliers have won the championship for three years running now. Although the Cavs lost Saturday night, the team had gone undefeated in the EPAC this season, thus earning them the title of EPAC champions even before the game began. Eastern's victory over Cabrini last Saturday night at the EPAC tournament earned Eastern's Golden Eagles the title of ESAC Northern Division Champions. "It was an abnormal pressure situation," said John Dzik, men's basketball coach. "On the plus side, I think we're the best team, but on the negative side, everyone's gunning for us. Our main priority, however, is to get to Kansas City. Since Eastern had never beat us, and if we had to lose a game- not that I want to lose a game - I'd rather it was this one than in the District 19 playoffs." Assistant Coach Joe Kelly agrees, "If God told me that we had to lose one game this season to Eastern, I'd rather it was this one." A year ago, ESAC (Eastern States Athletic Conference) was formed. EPAC was to

be the northern division. The southern division consists of: Salsbury State, Frostberg State, Mary- Washington, and Shenandoah colleges. According to Kelly, EPAC/ESAC is "just a formality." However, in two years, winning the ESAC championship will be an automatic bid for National Collegiate Ath-

letic Association- Division Three tournament play. "Then," adds Kelly, "we will approach the EPAC playoffs much differently." Finally, there is Kansas City, Missouri: the epitome of the Cavaliers season - if they can make it. Cabrini will host NAIA (National Association for Intercollegiate

Athletics)-District 19 championship games on March 1 and 4. If, while the rest of Cabrini is on Spring break, the Cavs win these games, they will go on to Kansas City on March 11 to compete in 'the NAIA National Championships on March 12 through 18. The Cavaliers have been in the District 19 championships the last five years running and champions of District 19 for the last two years. "I knew we'd be prepared for the championships, but I'm totally flabberghasted as to how well the team has done," Dzik said. The team's record this year is 22 wins and 6 losses. The school record in NAIA play is 26-5. "Ifwe make it to Kansas City, we'll be in way over our heads," he said. â&#x20AC;˘~t Kansas City, with all the districts gathered, you're up against taller players: six-foot-ten to seven-feet tall," Allen Jones, junior, shooting guard, explained. "Getting to Kansas City for me is going to be one game at a time; sort of like one punch at a time," Jerome Chennault, senior, captain, forward, said, as he feigns and weaves like Rocky. Lee Clowers, junior, forward, agreed. "One night, just when we need it, Allen is going to explode!" At this point, several of the team members ar~ thinking toward winning at Kansas City, rather than worrying about the NAIA playoff games. "Nobody in this district should beat us," Clowers said. "We're a small school at Kansas City," Chennault added, "but Villanova was a small school. .."

The Big Five:

A Philly Jradition by Larry P. Aquino

Cabrini makes a statement It came down to the final seconds of the game, but in the end Allentown College prevailed over Cabrini 66-64. Coach Terry Mancini said of his team's efforts, "I t .. Jught they played really ~ell. I would say it was one of our better efforts this season." He continued, "The team should hold their heads high. By playing so well, we really made a statement to Allentown. They now know that it will not be a 'cakewalk' to the District title." Last Friday, the EPAC (Eastern Pennslyvania Athletic Conference) tournament began at Spring Garden College. Fredia Gibbs, junior, was the game's high scorer with 35 points and 13 rebounds. Sue Evich, sophomore, contributed to the teams effort by scoring 11 points and capturing 12 rebounds. During playoffs, teams play according to their ranking in the conference or the district. The teams play as follows: the first ranked team plays the fourth ranked team, with number two and three squaring-off against each other. Cahrini, third, went head-to-head against second placed Allentown. Though Allentown defeated Cabrini, Mancini commends the team. He said, "It was the first time they were in the EPAC tournament, and they deserve all of the credit in the world." "It wasn't as important as the districts, and I didn't want to put too much emphasis on the game," Mancini said. '

In the last two games of the season, the women's varsity basketball team played in crucial contests against Swarthmore College winning by one point, 86-85, and Bryn Mawr College winning 81-71. Winning both of these games, brought them the opportunity to compete in the playoffs for the District 19 championship as well as the EPAC title. On Wednesday, Cabrini defeated Beaver College enabling them to move on to the championship round of the District 19 playoffs to be plp._yed tomorrow at Allentown.

From the desk of ..

LibraryUpdate Late last semester, SGA conducted a survey concerning extended hours in the library. It was unanimous that the student body desired longer library hours on weekday evenings. The results of this survey were presented to Anita Johnson, Director of Holy Spirit Ubrary and she explained in detail the rationales of why such a plan would be impossible. Below is an article written by Mrs. Johnson in response to the requests of the student body.

I am pleased to have received Kate's invitation to share library developments and concerns with you. Lately, there h,as been evident interest in the library-its resources, services, and facilities. As with other college depaftments and offices, the library is in the midst of developing a long-range plan in conjunction with the Ubrary Committee to address these issues. 路 It is the library's mission to provide the materials, services, and staff needed to carry out the educational aims of the college as expressed in the curriculum. And, this charge is to be accomplished in the special environment of Cabrini College with all its possibilities and constraints.

First, we are all aware that materials are required to support the array of programs available to students. The library added over 3,000 new books in 1984/85, and we are well on our way to that total again for 1985/86. Over 30 new periodical titles were added which will require additional space in both the current display area and shelving on the second floor. But, while new volumes are regularly added to the collection, we are also aware of the need to grow more rapidly in many areas. At present, we are directing as much of our budget as possible to this primary need for the acquisition of materials. For the moment, the departments are to be commended for their careful and considered use of available funds to wisely select books and journals for their respective disciplines. Another area of concern voiced recently pertains to library security. Missing books and journal issues are problems and a recent survey of the encyclopedias in the reference collection revealed that many volumes are gone. We are seeking funds to support the installation of a security system to control such losses. An electronic security system will protect your investment in the library collection and permit a

smooth flow of traffic in and out of the building. In the meantime, we have placed Periodical Assistants on the second floor of the library each evening to offer reference help to fellow students and to deter removal of non-circulating materials. We would also hope that students themselves would act in their own best interests to discourage theft. The library collection is for the use of all Cabrini College students. The third area of concern is in the area of services such as inter-library loan, hours, and reference assistance. With our current level of staffing and resources, we seek to provide the greatest number and range of services that we can maintain to the widest segment of the student body. At present, our turnaround time for inter-library loan request is one week to 10 days due to the use of the OCLC computer ILL system. We encourage students to contact librarians with questions. We offer hours of service which we can adequately staff and which numbers of students utilize. And, we continue to direct our efforts and resources to acquiring more materials. Kate has invited me to attend a SGA meeting this semester and I plan to be present to answer questions from students.

Note: SNOW DAYS: When the college is closed for a snow day, the library will be open from 12 noon-5 p.m. on weekdays/ Sat. (2-5p.m. on Sunday). If you have a question, call ext. 538 (campus) or 687-2100 (off- campus) for information. PERIODICAUINDEX ALCOVE AREA RENOVATION: The periodical display area will be expanded to accommodate more titles. New shelving for indexes, journals, and newspapers will be installed during the week of Feb. 24th. NEW INDEX: The library has just added a new index, CIJE (Current Index of Journals in Education) from 1982-.

CLUBUPDATE The auditions and first rehearsal for a play, even one as well-known as "The Wizard Of Oz," can be very difficult, especially for young, inexperienced performers. But once you've performed in front of an audience, felt the exhilaration and the intense feeling of accomplishment that comes to you through the audience's applause, you never forget it. 路 The Council For Exceptional Children, advised by Dr. Edna Barenbaum, through the efforts of the Creative Arts Workshop does just this for the most deserving people. Each semester the workshop, staffed and run by Special and Elementary Education students, organizes a production of a popular children's play starring mentally handicapped young people from around the area. The workshop has in the past put on such productions as '"Twas The Night Before Christmas," "The Night of 14 Stars," and their much路 acclaimed adaptation of "Scrooge" two Christmas seasons ago. Newcomer Pete Casazza, sophomore, Special Ed. major, likes working with the youngsters because it helps him to appreciate his talents and gives him important experience

with the mentally handicapped. Peggy Emmerich, sophomore, Special and Elementary Ed. major and a veteran of three semesters with the workshop, enjoys the excitement and sense of fulfillment she gets out of it, aside from the practical experience for her major. ''A lot of people wouldn't enjoy doing it because it takes up an hour or so of your time once a week," said Emmerich. "I don't see it that way. I see it as gaining an hour instead of losing it." Each Monday night the members of the workshop meet and, for an hour, discuss what they plan to do when the kids arrive. Everything is well planned-out, from what parts of the script will be rehearsed or not rehearsed or eliminated from the script altogether, to what time will be set aside for "snack-time." The members of the Workshop sit on the floor and try to get through the business at hand, though a lot of fun and games do take place. On the night of the first rehearsal, Casazza was the victim of a few practical jokes as would be any "rookie" in a club. He got more than a fair share, though, because he had made the mistake of saying he was only there

to "try it out" to see if he really wanted to be involved. Teri Ciarlante, sophomore Special Ed. major and CEC president, quickly interrupted before things got too silly to advise Pete. "We find time in our busy schedules to do this because it's out of love." At 8 p.m. the actors show up and nearly every Workshop member, now a "Cabrini-Friend," groups-off with two or three of them to go over their lines. It will take approximately an hour for the workshop members to go over the lines for just one scene with the actors. But there is a lot of patience and caring involved in the process. Next, the group will be ready to go over the scene. Each actor is told where he and his "Cabrini-Friend," now a line- prompter, will stand. The workshop members will be there to lend support and feed lines to the actor during every rehearsal as well as during the performance. By 9 p.m. the rehearsal ends. But it ends on a high note. The last 20 minutes or so are spent with the entire cast, "Cabrini-friends" and all, joining together in a chorus or two of 路 "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and other songs.

The workshop will be repeating this process in a busy cycle once every week, patiently going over lines and lyrics with heartfelt interaction between actors and "Cabrinifriends," in preparation for the big night. You'll be able to see the results of this labor of love, CECICAW's production of "The Wizard of Oz," April 28, in the WCLH. Until then, if you have any questions, or you are just interested in more information, ask any CEC member.
