Libyanbombing preventschorus from touring

RecountingweekS conflict

by Jeanne Reineberg On Monday, April 14, 1986, in retaliation to the numerous ter~orist attacks involving American citizens, the United States bombed Libya.

As the President spoke th~ grave news over national television to the American people, 53 men and women were singi~g around a pian_o, unaware of the world-changing events. They were mstead absorbed m the challenge of reading new music and trying to convincingly pronounce the foreign German lyrics. The practice was in preparation for their Austria/Hungary singing tour, slated for May 22 · June 4.

Adeline Bethany, choral director, instructed members to_m:mori~e the words. "We hav!) to start getting serious - we leave m Just six weeks."

Bethany had been planning the two-week singing tour for almost two years. The Cabrini College Community Chorus i~ c_onjunctionwith the Delaware county Community Chorus was to part1c1pate on yet another singing tour sponsored by the Frie~dsh_ip Amb8:ssador's Fou~dation (an organization dedicated to promotmg mternat10nal goodwill through music). In just five years, the combined groups had toured Greece, Romania and Spain, and were now anticipating Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruk, Austria and Budapest, Hungary.

All the difficult work had been completed: the group was assembled, music chosen, Hungarian visas processed, costumes custom-m_a~e, flights booked, guides hired, expenses paid! concerts ~o~ked, pubhc1ty circulated. For the Cabrini students plannmg to participate, even the once-insurmountable obstacle ofthe$1400 cost had been overcome with hoagie sales, raffles, a puppet show, and extreme penny-pinching. All that was left was to polish up the harmonies. pack the bags. and get on the airplane. ''I can't hear the sopranos. Men, please sing a little softer," Bethany requested. "What happened to all those high voices we once had?" · The group had dwindled from its_initial 69 ~o53 voices:_The bombing of touring civilians in the Rome airport durmg the Christmas season had convinced some singers that European travel wasn't as safe as they'd expected. Six out of ten Cabrini students originally planning to accompany the tour swiftly changed their minds.

"My parents think it's too dangerous," one student commented. "It_'s just not worth the risk. I'd rather lose the $100 non-refundable deposit than my life." .

"The events abroad have had a definite impact on people traveling abroad ," Bethany said. "The families have ,, been exerting influence and the students don't want them to worry.

"The long-stem silk roses have arrived," announced Clara LaPorta, accompanist and trip committee treasurer. "You will each need to pay me for twenty." The roses were to be distributed through_out the Austrian/Hungarian audiences at the end of each of the six scheduled concerts while the chorus sang the tune "It's a Small World" in both English and German. The roses were to be a sign of goo1will.

T-shirts with the group logo, a globe on a sca_leof music surrom_1ded by the words for "friendship" in each of the languages, were specially designed. Everything was set.

That night no member reviewed the German lyrics: each was too busy absorbing the reality of the bombing that_ had occurred as they practiced.

When the group met again on Sunday, April 20, for t~e next practice, a new type of tension was present. Spouses and relatives sat ne~r choral members. The piano remained locked. Bethany and the trip committee sat in panel in front of the room. One question only seemed to circulate throughout the entire group: 'Should we still go?'

A long and heated debate ~nsued. One ~ember re~d a security alert issued by his company, Westmghouse, urgmg Americans not to travel abroad unless it was necessary. Those who still chose to travel, the memo advised were warned to avoid large crowds or demonstrations, avoid locations' frequented by Americans, and move through airports as quickly as possible.

"How do you get 50 people through an airport quickly without being noticed?" asked one community chorus member.

"There's no way to keep a low profile," Bethany said. They have to advertise us to bring people to the concerts. The people pr?bably wouldn't come anywhere Americans would be. They would Just be asking for trouble." . ,, "You'd be looking over your shoulder the whole time, Bethany continued. "I'd be constantly worrying about where everyone was, and waiting up until all 52 people got in at night.",, . · "I'm one that will travel at the drop of a hat, said Gordon Bethany, who was also looking forward to accompanying his wife and the group ·on tour. "Drop of a bomb, no, but drop of a hat ..."

"I was over in Europe during the War," one man commented, "and I felt safe only because I was carrying a gun." · The decision was put to a silent vote. ''I can't decide for you. You'll each lose at least $150 as a result," Bethany said.

Twenty-nine voted "no," 16 voted "yes," and 5 abstained. T):iechorus never did practice that night.

Wednesday, April 16-Where is Qaddafi? Is he dead? American journalists in Tripoli reported that Qaddafi and a number of his top aids were possibly in Sabhh, a town south of Tripoli. Later he was seen on Libyan television.

International response was strong against the U.S. attack on Libya. All Arab nations were said to support Libya. American flags were burning in Spain, West Germany and Austria.

Soviet Union Deputy Representative to the United Nations, Vladimir Schustov, said that the U.S. bombing of Libya was a deliberate action aimed worsening U.S.Soviet relations.

Tuesday, April 15-The U.S. bombing of Tripoli on April 14 has caused a string of world-wide consequences.

Students of Cabrini were huddled around radios and television sets waiting to hear if the United States was bombing Libya again. Qaddafi's 15-month-old baby was dead. Rumors spread that Qaddafi himself was dead, then he was alive. U.S. g,

Heavy firing in the Libyan capital broke · out in early Tuesday afternoon. Pentagon officials said that the firing was not U.S.a related, but a result of unrest.

Libya attacked patrol boats on a U.S. Coast Guard installation on the Italian island of Lampedusa. There were no damages or casualties.

Reported casualties from Monday's U.S. attack on Tripoli were 15 Libyan civilians and two U.S. captains, Fernando Ribas Dominicci, 33, and Paul F. Lorence, 31.

Libyan officials said that Qaddafi's 15month-old adopted daughter had died as a result of Monday's attack. And his two youngest sons were seriously injured, but · would recover.

Student opinion was split on the justification of the U.S. attack on Libya. , said.

"I think it was justified due to the irrational barbarism of Libya's terrorist activities. I think we had to retaliate so that we won't be stepped on again. The people in Libya aren't bad. It's just their leader," Mike Edmondson, sophomore said.

"I agree with Reagan's decision to attack Libya and especially on his policy on terrorism. I think that civilian casualties should be avoided at all costs. This attack will most likely have negative short-term effects, but hopefully work towards a positive long-term effect against terrorism," Pete Casazza, sophomore, said.

The Soviet Union cancelled the scheduled May meeting of U.S. Secretary of State George Schultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Schevadnadze. This meeting was set to plan a possible Summit on arms control between U.S. President Reagan and Soviet Party Leader Gorbachev. It was rumored that the Soviet Union would join Libya and drop bombs on American soil, but this never occurred.

"I don't think the U.S. anticipated the diplomatic problems they're having with the Soviet Union. Reagan thought that the · U.S. attack on Libya would get no response because we're a super power combatting terrorism, but there's a lot of repercussions. We're feeling it with the Soviets already in the cancellation of the talks," Brian Feeley, junior, said.

There could have been another way to do it.

"I think Qaddafi will retaliate. If the man is willing to send suicide squads anywhere in the world, bombing Libya won't stop him. In order to stop terrorism, we have to get rid of Qaddafi because he's the ring leader," Mike Johnson, sophomore, said.

"Either two things can happen. We'll just wear them down and the Libyans will overthrow Qaddafi themsehies, or this attack has made him a hero and they'll support him in terrorism," Denis Bourgeau, senior, said.

The bodies of two British teachers were found and taken to Beruit. They had died of gunshot wounds to the head. British journalist John McCarthy was kidnapped.

Qaddafi was seen again on Libyan television visiting wounded in a hospital.

American flags_ were still burning abroad. "I don't think the relations with Spain and West Germany will be affected by the protest groups who are burning American flags. Civilian action is not government action," Dr. Jolyan Girard, chairperson of history and political science, said.

Friday, April 18,Coverage of the Libyan crisis no longer overwhelmed the front page of"The New York Times." Discussion of Libya began to lull.

Coffins of Libyans said to have been killed in the U.S. bombing were carried through the streets of Tripoli in a funeral procession.

Saturday, April 19,"Kill Qaddafi" tshirts were beginning to circulate.

Parents and schools were cancelling trips abroad. Should Americans travel overseas?

Susie McKernan, junior, will travel to England in the fall to study at Ealing College outside of London. "(The U.S. attack on Libya) really hasn't affected my plans, but it did make me think about where I'm going to visit on my breaks. I really wanted to go to Germany and Israel, but my parents would rather I stay as close to England as possible," McKernan said.

campus thefts, a disgrace Just a few moments ago, I was made aware ofa theft in Xavier Hall. One of the men's rooms there had been robbed. Both of the men that lived in the room were robbed of their wallets, which contained substantial amounts of money. But besides money, the men are feeling the loss of their identity which was contained in their wallet. Everything is gone.

Identification cards, personal pictures, important numbers and credit cards, and lastly their source of unanimity.

The campus sees an act such as this as an outrage.

We are shocked that our peers would use such maltreatment on each other. Furthermore, it is almost universal that whatever money a college student has, he has earned and probably worked very hard for. If students steal so nonchalantly, obviosly morals are lacking.

Whoever was responsiblefor this criminal act selfishly violated the rights of another

Cleaning

viewpoint

Like any other normal, red-blooded surburbanite, when spring is in the air, I get the urge to run through fields of clover, fall in love... and clean. I've sorted and resorted through so much junk - in my room, in my closets, in my desk, in my backpack, in my pockets, in my brain - I should be tatooed with the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval."

The true adventure of cleaning is finding the things that you forgot you owned. Yesterday, I discovered under my bed one glove, an unmailed letter to Barbara in Paris (she's home now), a fuzzie twinkie, my freshman year course schedule, photos from my First Holy Communion, every letter anyone has ever written me, the cat (I thought I heard strange noises in my sleep)... and about ten unused ideas for future viewpoints.

Growing up, my secret for emptying my room of the over-accumulation of unusuables was to dump them, incognit.o,in my brother's room as "gifts" (Gee, Don, aren't you always telling me that you need ripped pantyhose?)

In the same spirit, I'd like to dump on you - er, I mean "present" you with - an array of viewpoints which I could never quite bring myself to finish: Did you ever wonder about the origin of your current pen? Chances are, you started the year with a pack of new "Bies" or "Eraser-mates" that you either dropped, left on your cafeteria tray, or lent to some student you'd inevitably never see again. But where did you find your current writing instrument - in someone else's hand?

On the ground? In your teacher's briefcase?

If pens could talk, what tales would they tell of their travels? Were they used to sign world-c.hanging documents or to scribble graffiti on bathroom walls? Who bit that pen before you? Whose germs are you contracting

... ?

These are people we see everyday, that we talk to ... and we trust. This is a Catholic school, on the Main Line, not a huge city college where crime is rampant. It frightens us to think that our comrades are capable of executing such deviant acts.

During the three years that I have cautious, both with his dorm environment attended Cabrini, I have never heard of such a violation of one's privacy. and his personal belongings.

According to the Resident Hall Agreement that each resident must sign to live on campus, "Properly authoWhoever was responsible for this criminal act selfrized college personnel, when deemed appropriate, may ishly violated the rights of another, as well as abused enter a student's room for the purpose of maintenance repairs and emergency situations.

This does not say what is considered haunted by it. an emergency situation and who deems entry into a student's room appropriate.

What is even more deplorable is that his conscience The Student Handbook specifically states that, "A student's right to privacy will be respected." Well, this sounds may be so toughened that the act may be deemed as reassuring until the rest of the paragraph is read. It goes acceptable behavior. Well, robbery is not accepton to say, "However, a college official, accompanied l:iy able ...but a clear conscience is. · another staff member whenever possible, may enter a

student's room without notice in emergencies where danger to life, safety, health or property is reasonably feared, o maintenance reasons, or where there is reasonable cause to believe that college regulations have been or are being violated."

These words are loosely written and can be interpreted in many different ways. They are made to fit almost any situation that happens in a typical dorm. Our right to privacy is not respected when someone searches our rooms because he feels he has reasonable cause to believe a college regulation is being violated. The Student Hand- · book does not say that a room may be entered while the student is not present. It merely says that the student does not have to be given notice that an official is entering his room.

A student's right to privacy was recently violated. With the Handbook the way it is, we are unsure as to what, if any, our rights as students are. Maybe this section of the Student Handbook should be reworded so that there is no possible question as to what our rights as a student of Cabrini are.

ffice confidentiality in question

by Yvette Ousley

Who's got the lowest "cum" on campus?

Who's on academic probation? Whose parent has just lost his job?

The answers are all confidential, known by privileged few in administration, right?

According to students who have heard such private information mentioned in passing by other students, information "leakages" can occur via college work- study students (CWS) who have access to personal files.

Judy Wise, (not her real name) a student at Cabrini, has experienced several such "information-leaking" incidents happen to her. One incident involved Wise's friend telling Wise her exact grade point average.

"This really annoyed me," Wise said, "because I know that she had to look at something confidential to get this information."

Gia DiGiminiani, now a junior, told of how in her freshman year, one of her roommates worked in a campus office and obtained personal information about a third roommate's father.

In another incident, Allison Schaeffer, junior, said, "My mail was continually being opened, then returned to my mail box. Finally, I went to John (Houget) and someone was fired."

Though the definition of what constitutes confidential information varies depending on who you ask, there are several administrative offices on campus that undoubtedly carry confidential information.

These offices include the academic dean's office, business office, financial aid and the registrar. The guidelines and training for the college work-study students who work in these offices range from lenient to stringent.

· Debbie Peacock, senior, said she was asked to work for the academic dean's office only after she had worked for Jerome Zurek, chairman of English and communications.

Arlene McEvilla-Dittbrenner, director of financial aid, said she is very happy with her work-study students but she also worries about confidentiality. The financial aid ' office allows its upperclass work-study stu' dents to hire new work-study students.

The hope is that the upperclassmen know ' students better and can therefore make a ' better judgement of students with the potential to work in the financial 8,idoffice.

'My mail was continually being opened,then returnedto my mail box' -Allison Schaeffer Also, according to McEvilla-Dittbrenner, new work-study students are not allowed to go into fµ~s. "One CWS student is allowed in the files," McEvilla-Dittbrenner said, "and she has worked for us for four years and is very well-trusted."

Though the offices generally agree that confidential information is non-accessible to work-study students, one former workstudy student said differently.

Lisa Penn, (not her real name) a student at Cabrini, is a former work-study student for one of the offices on campus. "I had access to confidential documents," Penn said, "and I was often asked to make copies of them."

Schaeffer thinks that getting students to keep confidential information is an uncontrollable situation. "However," Schaeffer said, "I don't think that the offices are aware that students are repeating things that they shouldn't or they would do something a1?<>ut it."

Still, the office for which Penn worked said that their that work-study students onl:, answered the telephone.

Robert Fetterhoff, registrar, said confidentiality is something he worries about because there's always the possibility that a student will breech confidentiality. "If I didn't have to use CWS students," Fetterhoff said, "I wouldn't."

Marybeth Venditti, senior, said she is angered by the whole confidentiality leakage. "Something should be done," Venditti said.

"I think that the offices are fighting a never-ending battle," Peacock said, ''because you never can be sure who will talk and who won't."

CHORUS CANCELLATION from 1 "There is a sense of relief now that the decision has been made," said Megan Lamb, senior. '½.t least there was a decision and things are no longer up in the air."

"I voted to go," said Virginia Smith,junior. "I guess I'm just not used to having my freedom inhibited. That's my American mentality - I just refuse to believe there are places in the world that are too dangerous to travel to. It seems that the older people in the group were more fearful, more emphatic in their "no." I guess they're old enough to remember what war is like."

Angry, frustrated, and disappointed, the chorus members dispersed slowly afterward, still discussing their decision and options, still not believing the tour was over before it began.

"I'm on the verge of tears right now," said Monica Palko, sophomore. ''I didn't let myself think that we might not go until they said it tonight.

It's so hard since we've worked so much to raise the money, and now we can't go."

"We had talked about waiting until 10 days before the trip to decide, to see if the world situation had changed," Lamb continued. "But, you figure if you voted "no" tonight, you won't change your mind. And those who voted yes would just have put themselves under more pressure."· The group came up with one other option at the meeting: arranging a United States tour. Bermuda, Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens, the Rockies and Vancouver were all suggested, but because of the late date, . . be CUJJIIJHjt:eLe.l.

The chorus will still be performing in concert at Cabrini'on April 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Widener. Center Lecture Hall.

The t-shirts that were specially-ordered will never be worn for the purpose they were intended. Each chorus member will lose at least $150, and a majority of the refund may not be received until late August. The silk roses will sit unused until another trip abroad can be safely-arranged. Perhaps next year, or maybe the next. Unfortunately, then it may be too late for many.

"This is my last chance. Now I'm not going to go. I don't know ifthere is another trip for me," said Cathy Lojewski, senior.

Venders offer solution Coin-operated computers possible solution to student needs

by Debbi Maida

You're in the middle of a paper. Sudd~nly, someone asks you to get off of the computer.

"Why?" you ask. And the reply is, "Because I'm a part of the computer science department and we have priority on the use of computers." ¡ Like the computer lab, the general student body does not have access to the computers in the newsroom. What do you do?

Coin-operated computers for everyone's use can be an answer to this problem.

"This idea is not a new one," John Heiberger, vice-president for development, said. "These computers have been used before¡. They have been in libraries for quite awhile."

"It is not as easy as it seems to get these computers on campus," Anita Johnson, library director, said. "There are the problems of where we would put these computers, who would supervise them, how do the students feel about having these computers and would they be used."

The problem of whether the students would use these computers is a big consideration. ''A couple of the venders that we considered using are reluctant to give us the computers because they are afraid of not making any money," Johnson said.

"We find it very unfortunate that we have "This would be cheaper for the students to resort to the boot," Ruth Richardson, than actually going out to buy their own." member, Traffic Committee, said.

"Most of the parking tickets we issue are only $1," Dan Neyer, director, Campus Security, said.

But there is consistently illegal parking all over campus, and there are too many unpaid fines according to Neyer.

Before the boot, if a car was parked illegally, Campus Security or Physical Plant would have to call an outside towing company to remove the car.

Sometimes a car owner would see the truck coming and quickly move the car before it could be towed.

So, through combined discussion, the Dean of Students Office, the Traffic Committee, and the Physical Plant decided that the auto-cuff was the best means of correcting these problems.

According to Margaret Becker, secretary, dean of students, there are 460 available parking spaces on campus and approximately 1,000 registered cars, including day students, continuing education students, graduate students, faculty, and administration. So there are plenty of spaces at any given time, according to Becker.

Illegal parking is more the result of a lack of convenient parking rather than a lack of parking spaces, according to Satterthwaite.

"Grace Hall parking lot is never full," Satterthwaite said.

According to Sergeant Ken Paul, Radnor Township Police Department, Cabrini College can use the boot even though the township does not.

"It's private property. What Cabrini wants to do, they can do," Paul said.

Continuingeducationstudentstackle college and familyresponsiblities

by Kimberly Stevens

a joke about who's going to graduate first!," Anderson said. "I think I have her beat, though!"

Like Anderson, Johanna Rebarchak, special and elementary education major, is married and has three children, ages 18, 19 and ·20. She came to Cabrini eight years ago in an effort to complete her degree for .her full-time job at the Don Guanella School.

"Some of ·my students from Don Guanella work at Cabrini doing grounds work or working in the kitchen," Rebarchak said.

Two of Rebarchak's children will be attending college next fall. Her son will be attending West Chester University and her daughter, Keystone School of Business.

According to Rebarchak, all of her children are very supportive of her endeavor.

"In the beginning they sort of resented me going to school because I couldn't spend as much time with them," Rebarchak said.

"Now that they're older, they really appreciate it. They give me time to myself when I need to study, and when I need someone to quiz me, they're more than willing to help."

"My husband is my biggest supporter," Rebarchak said. "He's right there behind me to give me that little push that I sometimes need."

Imagine going to college for eight years beginning your education at about the age of 30. Now, at the same time, imagine working full, or part-time, being married and having a family to care for each day.

Hard to imagine?

Well, it has been done, and it is being done by several hard-working, devoted people right here at Cabrini.

They are part of the continuing education department, and atcording to Meredyth Leahy, director of continuing education, students in the program are furthering their education for various reasons.

"Every person who comes to us has their own story as to why they decided to return to college," Leahy said. "Most of them are married and have families, so their schedules are filled with classes and other responsibilities."

Arthur Anderson, business administration major, describes a normal day for him as 'hectic.' Anderson attended Temple University several years ago, but quit the program and never received his degree.

In the Fall of1980, he decided to come to Cabrini, taking one, maybe two courses at a time, in an effort to receive his degree. He also attends classes over the summer and works full- time at Philadelphia Electric.

Anderson is married and has three children, ages 8, 10 and 18. "My family is very supportive of me," Anderson said. "It has been hard on everyone, though, because I can't spend as much time with them as I would like."

Anderson's 18- ear-old daughter is also attending college.

She is a music ,,major at . .

Rebarchak started taking one course at a time. At present, she is taking two day courses and one evening course, and for the past four years she has taken summer courses to accelerate the time until she graduates. "My goal is to graduate this May, but I'll settle for December," she said.

Sandra Momyer, another continuing education student, started Cabrini in the fall of 1975, and will graduate this May

Momyer is also married and, although she has no children, she and her husband have several pets. A normal day is 'not too bad,' according to Momyer, however she must still clean the house, do the laundry and food shopping, care for the animals and do other household chores.

Momyer works part-time at Historic Yellow Springs where she writes newsletters, does press releases and other public relations work. She plans to continue working there after graduation.

Considering most continuing education students have spent several years at Cabrini, many of them have experienced

"When I started at Cabrini, the continuing education department was not a separate office," Momyer said. ''Today it has become specialized and has really grown in ways that are beneficial to the students."

Rebarchak said, "When I first started I didn't feel a part of the school. Now the program has taken some steps to make continuing education students a part of the college. I'm happier feeling like a part of the college, and this makes my studies easier and more enjoyable."

Anderson speaks highly of the college. ''After being in a large university, I really like the small classes. I find the faculty to be understanding and helpful, and the continuing education people are super," he said.

According to Momyer, she has been at Cabrini so long that several classes of students have come and gone. "I've seen the freshmen come in and graduate as seniors, twice," Momyer said. "The whole atmosphere stays the same, though. That's what makes Cabrini special."

For the first time in the history of Cabrini, Alpha Sigme Lambda, the national honor society for students in continuing higher education, has accepted students for membership. On March 21, at Spring Convocation, Anderson, Rebarchak and Momyer were installed as Charter members.

"I was elated," Anderson said. "It's really a thrill to be a charter member of something like that."

Superpowersstruggle. with arms control

by Navaz Mehta

MIKHAL

GORBACHEV

The United States and the Soviet Union have been struggling to define the shape of foreign relations between the two superpowers. Their main issue is that of nuclear arms control.

Recently, officials have stated that the Reagan administration considers nuclear arms control an "overriding priority." The administration wants to give equal attention on the human rights issue, and to seek a settlement between the disputes of Afghanistan and Angola.

Moscow is seeking to make nuclear arms control the main issue, although administration officials said, "President Reagan is prepared to live without new arms control treaties, although he is said to want treaties of the right kind."

A meeting between Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachez, prime minister of the Soviet Union, was planned for later this year. George Schultz, secretary of state,_ and E?uard_ ~hevniee in or er to se up a a e for the meeting between the two superpowers.

As of Monday, April 14, all plans for this meeting have been postponed. The U.S. strike against Libya caused many countries to voice their opinion against the attack. One of the first to respond to the attack was the Soviet Union. This attack will cause new strains between U.S. relations with the Soviets.

connect Cabrini With world

¡Past administrations have also struggled with the problem of U.S.U.S.S.R. foreign policy. The Nixon Administration wanted there to be a "linkage" between the talks on arms control, the human rights issue and the regional disputes.

The -Carter Administration, on the other hand, wanted to stay away from this type of "linkage." They were warned that no matter how much they wanted to keep this seperate, the reaction from other countries on the Soviet's actions could lead to such a foreign policy.

At this Saturday's international videoconference, the relationship between the superpowers will be the topic of discussion at the Vienna, Austria broadcast site. Panelists on this topic will include: Earl Foell, editor-in-chief, Christian Science Monitor; Hans Blix, director general, International Atomic Energy Agency; Richard Hottelet, CBS, foreign and domestic correspondent; l Kaiser. director, Germa Socie y

With last week's stike against Libya, and the S.oviet Union's negative reaction to Reagan's decision, what does the future hold for U.S. and Soviet relations? This and other similar questions will be examined at the videoconference.

by Maria O'Brien A sneak peak of the future is yours for the experiencing at the Christian Science Monitor International Videoconference.

"The technological aspect is so amazing," Cathy Yungmann lecturer, English and communications, said.

The Christian Science Monitor has hired Videostar Connections, Inc., of Atlanta to technically coordinate the conference.

A local company will survey the Cabrini videoconference site in the Widener Center and a tractor trailer will be placed next to the lecture hall. A satellite receiving dish on top of the trailer will be connected by cables to the monitors in the lecture hall.

At each of the four broadcast sites, Vienna, England, Japan and Brazil, the panelists \'\'ill be in a TV studio. Signals from the studios will be sent by a satellite transmission dish to a satellite in geosynchronus orbit.

This satellite will beam each signal down to Boston, the conference hub or center of communications, as three separate feeds. In Boston, the technicians will mix the feeds together and send them up to a satellite. From this satellite, signals can be received by all televisions using only (TVRO) dishes at over 100 colleges. Boston will receive, combine and select one signal at a time to be sent out.

The Christian Science Monitor is paying for time on the satellite during the videoconference and fot'-all the equipment necessary for Cabrini students to participate in the videoconference.

Students will be able to phone in questions to the overseas panel members on a toll free line. All calls will be asked via a producer at the hub in Boston.

Looking for answers Saturday's videoconference should answer some of the following questions: How do we cover a closed society, such as the U.S.S.R.? . Have the bro~dcast media played their role well in covering East-West relations? Is _there a lme between being realistic about the Soviets, but also probing for the kmds of events or changes in attitude that could alter the stalemate between the two powers?

Have the electronic media changed the nature of big power p.iplomacy?

Is the superpower relationship dominated by defense policy concerns, or should we be looking at other elements of the contest, such as competition for the influence in the Third World?

Ditchley Park - Would terrorism exist on its present scale without the presence of television?

What has been learned from the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 and other terrorist acts of the last year?

Would Marcos have been toppled without the coverage TV gave to the Philippine elections?

Do the media show sufficient interest in the problems of the smaller countries, particularly those that do not represent any security threat to the U.S.?

Kyoto - How will science/technology change the world in the next decade?

What are some of the technological challenges of the future that we need to begin discussing? _Willtechnology speed up the arms race (as in Star Wars), or can it help to end 1t?

Are there cultural impediments to the spreaa of technology? Are there cultures which would prefer to stand aside from new technologies if they threaten a culture's way of life?

Media: reports or promotes terrorism?

by Kimberly Kovach

..

June, 1985, Osaka, Japan: "Reporters and photographers stood around while two men broke into the apartment of an accused swindler, murdered him with 13 bayonet stabs, then emerged blood- splattered to a press corps stunned, but not too stunned to keep the TV cameras from rolling."

This excerpt was taken from Charles Krauthammer's essay, "Looking Evil Dead in the Eye," from the July 15 issue of Time magazine. This is only one example of the media's questionable tact in reporting a story. Stories such as these are reported every day, which is not a surprise to many Americans. What may surprise them, however, is the way in which a reporter collects his or her information.

Terrorism has become one of the largest issues concerning Americans today.

Although terrorism may seem more widespread today than in the past, in actuality, it has always been this serious.

During President Reagan's news conference on April 15, in Washington, D.C., he said, "Terrorism is the preferred weapon of weak and evil men."

This quote may stick in the minds of many who viewed the conference, while others may have felt strongly about other

quotes or thoughts of Mr. Reagan. Without coverage by the media of this news conference, or any other topic concerning national or international affairs, perhaps no one would know Mr. Reagan's thoughts at all, or would we?

The media, primarily television and newspapers, are the medium of display and demonstration. For the media, evil seems to be an intriguing subject. How can the death of innocent men, women, and children be so intriguing?

This is what is happening in America as well as in other countries around the world. The news media is doing an excellentjob in reporting the news, but is doing it in such a way that some may find it offensive. Terrorism can be exploited in the media, particularly television, to make these events become more lifelike.

The topic of"Small Wars and Terrorism" will be discussed in depth at the International Videoconference on April 26, in the WCLH from Ditchley Park, England. Panelist\ will include Richard Nenneman, director of publishing, The Christian Science Monitor; Pierre Salinger, chief for- .. eign correspondent for ABC; Georgie Anne Geyer, syndicated columnist and foreign correspondent; Lincoln Bloomfield, former member of the White House National Security Council; and Brigadier Kenneth Hunt, defense commentator and defense advisor to British government.

Examining technology and culture

by Michelle M. Bamber

e~

so\c\\_rrs viet Failure

The topic of the Christian Science Monitor Videoconference panel from Kyoto, Japan will be "Sharing Technology and Understanding Foreign Cultures."

Japan's selection as the site for this segment reflects its emergence as a leading force in scientific and technological research and development.

The Kyoto panel will consider problems that result from technological advancement.

The panel will also consider the cultural clashes that occur in the Third World and the misunderstandings that occur between cultures.

Technological advances are playing a large part in the world's future. Some leading colleges and universities are making computer ownership a mandatory requirement.

Today's students, who will be tomorrow's leaders, will be spending the rest of their lives in a computerized world.

The effects of the future are also being tried out in the elementary classroom. Students are being taught to use computers in the fourth grade, and many school districts are allotting extra funding for automation. .

Now that these technological advances are being discovered, can they be shared with developing countries in such a way as to help them catch up? Another consideration may be the threats technology presents to countries which have not developed in these areas.

Issues to be addressed (rom Kyoto include how science and techno~ogy will change the world in the next decade; will technology speed up the arms race or help to end it?; are there cultures which would prefer to stand aside from new technologies if they threaten a culture's way oflife? ' Panelists from Japan will include Takashi Oka, editor in chiefofNewsweek, Japan and editorial advisor to the Christian Science Minitor; Edwin Newman, media commentator and host of PBS "National Science Quiz,"; Eugene Skolnikoff, director, Center for Internationak Studies and professor of political science, MIT; Chie Nakane, professor of sociology, Tokyo University; and Shigera Kimura, chief science writer, Asahi Shimbun.

Internshipscauseanxiety,controversy

by J.G. Starrs

What do you think of when someone mentions the slang word "go-fer"? Do you think of a little furry rodent? Do you picture that cute, but nerdy guy on "Love Boat"? Or do you think about your roommate or best friend and laugh about the internship he or she so often complains about?

Internships are the source of both controversy and anxiety for many students in the time approaching, if not during, the final semester of their senior year.

They worry about working because, for most, it is their first encounter with the "real world" beyond Cabrini.

"Internships," according to Dr. Marice Bezdek, professor, English and communications, "can be very scary for a student, but life is scary."

Last year, after two years at Pennsylvania State University, Joan Kramer, senior, transferred into Cabrini's English and communications department. After completing most of the department requiremen ts by December, she accepted an internship as an unpaid reporter for the "Main Line Times" during the spring.

Kramer is thoroughly satisfied with her' internship. Her first assignment for the newspaper was a year-end review of the top news stories the paper covered in 1985.

Since then, she's done two articles on drug and alcohol abuse, a story on divorce mediation, a review of feature articles from 1985, an article on e-lderly abuse, and sev-

eral sports stories. .

Kramer thinks that her attitude about her internship contributed to its success. "I was very motivated in December to accomplish the goals I've accomplished," Kramer said.

Kevin McClernan, senior, business administration and human service management major, transferred to Cabrini after his sophomore year at Camden County Community College. Last semester, McClernan had an internship working with Philadelphia's Better Business Bureau.

For three credits and $450.00, McClernan worked three days a week as a consumer consultant. His job entailed answering the phone and handling customer complaints.

"It was a good experience, but I wouldn't do it again," he explained. "It was just too repetitious. I guess that's what most people can expect from an internship," McClernan said.

"Don't expect to be the chief executive or anything, but you can learn a lot if you make the best ofit," he continued. McClernan added that he thought his internship looked good on his resume.

Steve Westhead, junior, business administrations major, secured a position at Van Guard Investments in Valley Forge this semester.

Westhead, who read an ad for the position in the "Loquitur," earns $7.25 an hour and works three days a week.

"I would have liked to have gotten credit for

it, but I got the job too late," Westhead said.

"I'm learning a lot in a specific area within securities," Westhead said, "but it's not something I'd want to do for the re,;t of my life."

Dan Radice, senior, English and communications student, has a similar opinion about internships. Radice has sometimes avoided internships that offered little or no pay in favor of finding experience in his chosen field of television production on his own.

"It's odd that people hound me to take an internship for credit when I've gotten such a wealth of informal experience away from school," Radice explained. "I've had jobs where I did everything a professional would do without getting credits for it, whereas, ifit were an internship, I'd probably just be getting them coffee."

Radice has worked as a "grip" for local productions like "On the Way,"a Christian Broadcasting Network program. For the Marple Newtown school district, Radice did camera work and later edited their "MN on TV" program.

"It was the first time I had ever edited," Radice said. "I had to sit there with the book and teach myself, but it came out great."

In the summer after her junior year, tlernadette Demski, senior, English and communications major, got an unpaid internship with the New Jersey Network public television station as an assistant to the producer. Demski eventually worked on the Network's "State of the Arts" program, but

only after some "go- fer" assignments.

• ''Anyone will get 'go-fer' work initially, until you prove yourself," Demski said.

"You have to be self-motivated. An intern should remember that no task is too insignificant."

~nyone will get 'go-fer' work initially until you prove yourself. You have to be self-motivated. An intern should remember that no task is to insignificant' -Bernadette Demski, senior Paul Cauchi, junior, arts administration major, is an intern to the Literary Manager at Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theater.

For three credits plus ticket compensation to some Walnut Street shows, Cauchi reads new scripts for the Walnut's Studio Three Theater. For each play, he writes a synopsis, a review, and an evaluation. Cauchi also acts as a correspondent between the playwrights and the theater.

"It's a good experience," Cauchi said.

After the initial interviews, Cauchi said he was nervous. "I didn't have anything to go on, they didn't give me a definite yes or no," he said.

What will they remember about Cabrini the ,most? What frightens the future graduates _the most? What will they take from Cabrini that will last them a lifetime? ~

"I fear that expec ations o my employers are going to be too high," Colantuono, said.

"I fear unemployment in the sense of not being able to find a job in my field," Lisa Schwartz, senior, said.

"I have a fear of leaving all of my good friends and possibly never seeing them again which· I know won't happen," Randy Lefko, senior, said.

with the comforting memories The seniors can take what they have learned academically Cabrini cultivated. and use it throughout their "I now have an appreciation lives. Most of the time, however, they are able to get much more for different cultures and backI am more wellfrom the people they have expe- grounds. rounded as a per~on," Dave rienced along the way.

Long, senior, said.

There are many experiences "Cabrini has given me the lying ahead of these soon-to-be opportunity to make friends alumni, and they will face the with the opposite sex. I was ups and downs of their future never given the opportunity to

"It's been a great four years and I have learned so much, but I think it is time to go and put what I've learned into practice," Missy DiPasquale, senior, said.

"It has been an interesting experience, but thank God it's over!" Bourgeau, said.

"Cabrini instilts in yori selfconfidence that makes you an individual capable of standing on your own," Bernadette Demski, senior, said.

There are fears and anxieties that seniors face as graduation nears.

Artistic.seniors highlight •art· exhibit

by Joan Kramer They are contemporary artists who Gary Armstrong, assistant professor, fine arts department, said, are "Home-spun sentimentalists."

With a realistic slant, their art works express the feeling of growing up in America, Armstrong said.

At least 75 people attended the opening reception on April 6 of the Senior Art Exhibit featuring the works of Lisa Hahn and Deborah Cicirello.

In reference to Cicirello's art, Armstrong said, "She holds dear the tradition of family in our country. Her art work releases a love of mankind."

---Revie.w-

What Cicirello is to space and simplicity, tered art are her glueprints of"Horse from Hahn is to color. Hahn, who says she can Fuseli's 'Nightmare."' really see herself in her art, has a passion for watercolors, especially pastels.

These prints show fantasy in another The soft tones, which Hahn creates, por- light, one which is not soft, feminine and tray a delicate and feminine world on delicate. With her strong and heavy conpaper, and depict an art presenting a mag- trast _betweenblack and white, Hahn gives ical, mystical fantasy land.

In contrast to Cicirello, Hahn conveys "A flight of fantasy" in her works, Armstrong said.

Hahn's favorite overall artist is Leonardo daVinci because he never limited himself in his art works. Like d•aVinci, who painted "The Last Supper" from his imagination and knowledge of human facial and body structure, Hahn also has a knowledge of perfect structure, and paints from the imagination.

She can paint castles as if she actually traveled to a far away kingdom and painted them on sight.

a dark and dreary effect in a totally frightening picture.

These prints are on sale for $70.

The art exhibit, located on the second floor, Holy Spirit Ubrary, will run until Wednesday, May 7.

One of the drawings depicts a young girl, whose hair, tied with miniature bows. blows in the wind, as if on a carnival ride.

Influenced by her favorite artist and inspiration, Norman Rockwell, Cicirello loves to paint things that are simplistic and yet realistic.

In "Once Upon a Windowsill," Raggedy Ann and what looks like a sad clown are sitting on a windowsill. Simple as it seems, the emotion that is mirrored in the clown's eyes is complex. The painted eyes look lifelike and appear to stare back at the onlooker.

Using bold and rich colors in her works, Cicirello paints and draws figures as symmetrically round as possible- concentrating on expressing life in the three-dimensional pictures.

Cicirello composes a broad range of tones and values in her art. With her use of volume and space, she creates objects which appear tangible and jump right out at even the most distant viewer. "I like to be very direct in what I paint," Cicirello said.

Selling for $125, "In a Corner of the Yard" is an oil pastel were Cicirello takes real objects like a milk carton and a plant and makes them come alive with vibrant color.

'She can paint castles as if she actuallytraveledto a far away kingdom and paintedthem on sight.'

In "Valley of Dreams", Hahn depicts a fantastical world. Using a rainbow of soft colors, and showing unicorns in midair with a finely structured castle in the backround, she conveys freedom and happiness.

With her talent as a "Computer scientist," as Armstrong says, mixing her technical backround with her sense of imagination, Hahn paints a realistic picture of precision fineness touched by her life impressions.

This purely ii.1pressionistic piece of art clearly shows the artist mixing the reality of a person thinking and being alone with fantasy, as the character is almost engulfed by his surroundings.

Watching re-runs of the "The Brady Bunch," ''The Partridge Family," or even "The Mary Tyle Moore Show," it's hard to believe that Marcia's miniskirt, David Cassidy's print-colored shirts and Mary's black-leggan stirrup pants would be making its return to the fashion scene almost a decade later.

So you're thinking you can do some bargain shopping right at home in Mom's old cedar chest and become instantly vogue? Unfortunately it's not that easy, according to local fashion retailers, who say that although fashion trends resurface(like the recent 60s look), old styles return refined and modernized on department store racks.

"This area (Philadelphia) is way behind in the fashion trend," Adele Piccone, director.

Personal Fashion Service, Bambergers said. "Styles are introduced by designers in Europe and New York, so by the time this area receives the new fashion, there is a new style."

This past winter "Big over tight" was the popular fashion trend for women. Wearing oversized, long-fitting sweaters with "stirrups" proved comfortable for women; and was especially helpful for oversized women who could wear the style well.

"This look will no longer be "in" this summer," Kelly Konin, co-manager, The Limited,. said "A more slim, long, lean hour- glass look will be shown this summer."

Fashions for men this summer, according to Piccone, will include bright colors, specifically gold and coral, "unconstructed" jackets, T-shirts, and long shorts. Women's fashions will "basically consist of the 'Safari look' (a trend made popular by Meryl Streep in "Out of Africa"), and the 'Chanel look' which is a classic slim line, " Piccone said. ccessories, like chai cklacesand bracelets, wil play an.· tant :role. · summer in the makings of a woman's wardrobe.

"Many people don't know how to accessorize their outfits-it really does make the difference," Piccone said.

What summer fashions do students predict will dominate the boardwalk this summer?

"I think the trend for unisex clothes are 'in'," Adele Valovich, senior, assistant manager, Cignal, King of Prussia mall said. "A dressy but comfortable look will be 'in' and clothes with a lot of writing on them will be shown."

For men's fashions, Lou Matteo, sophomore, said bright, "loud'' colors, baggy pants, knicker shorts, and the Don Johnson look will a popular fashion trend "I think pastels, long shorts, tank-top dresses, wild patterns, and lot of accessories will be in," Maria Watson, sophomore said.

Are professionalathletes worth their price?

How much did you earn last year? If you were lucky, it was somewhere between $3,000 and $7,000 (as part-time help). According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, elementary school teachers earn roughly $20,000 per year. Computer Operating Personnel make between $8,800 and $20,000. Accountants and auditors start at around $19,000. The very best reporters and correspondents are paid $38,324.

Moses Malone grossed $1,600,000 in 1984 (not including bonuses and benefits which up the total to close to $2,200,000), before truces, of course.

The issue of excessive salaries for athletes is raised every time contract negotiations begin for a superstar. But, are the salaries justified? What do the fans think? After all, it is an athlete's natural talent in his sport plus his ability to draw them in at the box office which can make an athlete into a superstar.

"People pay for it. If they can afford it at the box office, they can afford the athletes," said Denis Bourgeau, senior. "If people want to pay $1000 for ring-side seats or $1000 for 50 yardline seats at the Superbowl, then the athletes should get paid for what they do. I have no gripe."

"I think it's great. If owners are stupid enough to pay that much money, then the athletes deserve the bucks," added Darren Patton, junior. "Owners can say, 'no.' Then the athletes would have to work for $50. Look at John Cougar Mellancamp (musician): if people want to pay $20 to see him, fine, but I'd rather pay $7.50 to sit in the 700-level at the Vet and watch Mike Schmidt and the Phillies."

Peter Rudegeair, junior, agreed, "I think that if people are foolish enough to pay high prices for tickets, then the athletes should get the money, rather than the owners. Ifl pay $17.50 to see Bruce Springsteen, I would hope that Bruce gets the money and not the Spectrum."

This attitude is also shared by Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director. "It doesn't bother me. I like watching sports so much that I don't think about it."

But, some fans do think about it and think that high salaries for jocks lead to higher ticket prices.

"I think it's great that they get paid to do something that they love, but I think that they get paid too much," Lisa Catini,junior, said. "People would love to pay less. If they paid less to the athletes, then they could lower the price of tickets. As a college student, it's tough to raise $11.50 for good wrestling tickets."

"Personally, I think it's ridiculous," Frank Bokoski, senior, said. "But, the owners have their reasons. Ifit weren't for the stars, they wouldn't draw the crowds. I like sports. Take Fernando Valenzuela, though: he's getting something like $5 million (over a number of years), and he only plays every third or fourth game."

"It's BULL," reacted Michael Sell, sophomore, then added jokingly, "Except Jim McMahon, who's worth every penny. They go out and play four months out of the year. Babe Ruth was the first athlete to make over a million dollars. Are they better than Babe Ruth?"

Beverly Reilly, ¡resident manager, commented, "I think that professional athletes should be allowed to compete in the Olympics. It would benefit them and benefit our country. They have a talent and they should be able to use it for financial gain, just as a businessperson gains from his or her corporate mind.

When I hear professional athletes' salaries, I can't help but compare that to the salaries of professional teachers, and wonder where our goals as a country--............ are." ~

A taste of 'Soup'

You may have heard of Chris Campbell, freshman, better known as "Soup," because of his contributions to Cabrini athletics as both a basketball player and first-seeded singles tennis player.

Or maybe you know of him because he won the "Hawaiian outfit contest" at one of the orientation dances, or you've heard of some of the pranks he's pulled on unsuspecting pizzadelivery men.

To those who know Campbell, however, he's much more than an athlete, and though his wit is greatlyappreciated, he's not just another clown. Those who know Campbell love him mostly because he's a friend.

"He's one of my best friends," Patrick Zipfel, freshman, said. "He's very personable, the type of person you feel like you've known longer than you have," Zipfel continued.

"The first time I met Chris he was wearing an Hawaiian skirt. That's the way he is, always ready to liven up the atmosphere with his unfamiliar humor," Jim Winters, freshman, said.

A member of Campbell's orientation group, Chris Federico, freshman, found a friend in him during her initial collegiate days. "We have a lot in common, especially basketball, and we both like to have a good time," Federico said.

Friends Jim Donnelly, sophomore, and Tom McLaughlin, freshman, described Campbell as an "upbeat kinda guy."

"He's fun to hang out with," Donnelly said. "He brings out the best in people."

"He likes to have fun, yet he learns at the same time," McLaughlin said.

"He doesn't step on people on his way."

Campbell comes from a large sports-oriented family. He started swimming at age five. He began playing tennis at ten as an alternative to basketball, the most popular sport in the Campbell family.

There was always competition in his family, and Campbell enjoys a challenge, "but I have to have fun," he said.

Chris also enjoys climbing trees, playing in the woods and playing practical jokes - a fetish he shares with his mother. He describes himself as a "spaz."

Campbell enjoys comedy very much, especially David Letterman because he is "off the wall" and "he speaks his mind."

His favorite tennis player is Ivan Lendl, due to the way the pro can "crush the balls."

Campbell's goal in life is to have fun being successful in as many ways as possible.

"He's very easy-going and easy to get along with," Marie Lis, sophomore, said. "He throws me around, but he cheers me up."

"Chris cares a lot about people," Michelle Panetta, freshman, said.

"He hurts when his friends hurt. It takes a lot to get him angry. If he does get angry, it's because of dishonesty or injustice."

"He's a good blend of understanding and care," Panetta added, "yet he's fun, unpredictable and always a challenge."

"I have my priorities straight," Campbell said.

"I love people and trying to figure out what makes them tick," he added. "However, I take care of myself first because if you don't take care of yourself, you can't help anyone else."

Athletes capture All-American honors

by Charlie Dodds

Both Fredia Gibbs and Allen Jones were named Honorable Mention All-American for the 1985-86 basketball season.

Gibbs was not only Honorable Mention All-American this year, but she was also the NAIA (National Athletic Intercollegiate Association) player of the week in February.

"I was surprised that she wasn't on the first or second All-American team," John Dzik, men's athletic director, said.

According to Gibbs, she was unaware that she had been named Honorable Mention All-American. When asked to comment about receiving this honor, Gibbs said, "Nobody told me about it, so to me, I didn't win it."

For Jones, winning honors is nothing new. He won honor after honor this past season. Jones started the year off by being named to the All-Tournament team at the Big Brother Tournament in November.

end of the season he was selected to the EPAC (Eastern Pacific Athletic Conference) first team, as well as being named the most valuable player in District 19.

There was only one more honor for him to shoot for, and that was to be named an All-American.

"I'm happy about being named Honorable Mention All-American, but it's over now. I know that I have one more year to receive that great honor," Jones said. "If I play as consistent as I did this year and we win about 20 games next year, I think I will be on one of the All-American teams," he said.

In December, Jon-es received another honor when he was named All-Tournament at the National Catholic Basketball Tournament. Jones led the Cavs to a third place finish in that tournament.

Jones was also named District 19 player of the week twice during the season. At the

Jones scored in double figures 29 out of 31 times this year. "For Al to do that is great," Dzik said, "especially since we don't have one star. We're a team. Most teams have one big star that they go to all of the time and he might shoot the ball 30-40 times per game. Al might shoot the ball 10-20 times per game," he said. ''Al has a lot of individual pressures on him now. We talked about it and both ofus agree that it's time for someone from Cabrini to get on one of the All-American teams," he added.

"I'll continue to play in two summer leagues to stay in shape, and I will come to play in every game next year," Jones said.

Johnson and Kidwell heard that Hedtke needed assistant coaches and volunteered, with their softball experience as credentials. "I was a pitcher in Ohio (his home)," Kidwell said, "And Mike (Johnson) also played before."

Hedtke said, "The boys do everything a full time coach would do. They run practice when I'm not there and are well-accepted by the team."

Linda Panetta, sophomore, said, ''They help us get motivated, and build on our potential."

Lisa Catini, junior, said, ''They help the players and Mr. Hedtke relate to each other, since they're closer in age to us." Hedtke agreed, "It's easier for the girls to talk to them than to me."

This year, four Cabrini men are sacrificing their time and effort to assist James Hedtke, assistant professor, History and Political Science, in the coaching of the women's softball team.

This is Hedtke's first time at coaching on the college level.

"I let it be known through the 'rumor method' that I wanted some help," Hedtke said.

Help arrived in the forms of Mike Fallon, junior, Gary Firestine, sophomore, Mike Johnson, junior, and Bruce Kidwell, freshman.

The men do everything from coaching the women on basic skills to driving the van to games. They started working with the women about a month before the softball season started, and to date, haven't missed a single practice Do the men feel the women accept them as coaches? or game.

Hedtke feels the men are contributing not just to the team, but to all of Cabrini. ''All four are very dedicated. And they're totally unnoticed by the college community."

Hedtke definitely believes that he would seek out the men's help in the future. Kidwell similarly said,"l'd be more than willing to do it again. I love to play softball, and I feel I can help a team."

Hedtke finds the assistant coaches very helpful. Smiling, Hedtke compared his assistant coaches to Radar O'Reilly (a character on the television show M*A*S*H, who received his nick- name by always being able to know what was on his colonel's mind).

Oz is off

and running We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz... Relive the fun and magic of the "Wizard of Oz," which will be performed Monday, April 28, 8:00 p.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall.

Under the guidance of Cabrini's Creative Arts Workshop, a program created, funded and run by the Council for Exceptional Children (C.E.C.), children and adults from a nearby residential home for the handicapped, as well as several handicapped members of the community, will perform in the show.

Pam Brown and Kimberly Lowry, sophomores, are co- coordinators of the Creative Arts Workshop and the upcoming play.

"The play helps the kids learn to express themselves other than verbally through play-acting, singing and dancing," Lowry said. It's really important for them because many have speech--problems -and the show ·helps build their self-confidence."

The main star of the play, Carol, who will star as Dorothy, commented in an enthusiastic manner, "I just love the role of Dorothy. I always wanted to play her character and be ,the main star of a show," she said.

Chris Jeffers, junior, said, ''At the beginning of the rehearsals, the group was shaky. Now, with all our practices, they're learning a lot more.

I'm really excited about the upcoming show."

"I can't wait to die in the play. / like being in plays and am very excited about it. The group of Cabrini friends has been very good to me. I hope to come back next year and play in 'Guys and Dolls."' said Karen, who will star as the Wicked Witch.

A shy smile characterized Charlie, who will star as a munchkin. "I'm excited about the 'Wizard of Oz.' I like being on stage and can't wait to march with the other munchkins," he said.

Some of the very excited actors practice their lines and stage directions with members of the Creative Arts Workshop. The performance of "The Wizard of Oz" is on Ag_ril28, 8:00 p.m. in the WCLH. The munc'1kin mayor, who will be played by Jeff, said in a quite reserve manner, "I like being the munchkin mayor because I get to wear a nice hat, a big moustache, a badge and a nice watch."

Teri Ciarlante, sophomore, president of CEC, said, "I'm really looking forward to the 'Wizard of Oz.' The show will allow the campus community to see the talents of these handicapped students."

"This play provides the kids with an opportunity to engage in activities that they might not otherwise have," Lowry added.

"I'm very excited and glad about the play," said Bill, who will play the bumbling scarecrow. "I really like playing the part of the scarecrow. It was my favorite part of the movie," he added.

Taking time out from the rehearsal, enthusiastic Larry, who will star as a

" "I'm really looking forward to the play," Denise Ramsden, housemother of the local residential home, said. "It gives the kids positive self-esteem. It's really beneficial to them. They just have a lot of fun rehearsing and enjoy meeting new friends."

Cindy, who will star as Auntie Em said, "I like the practices a lot. They are fun and I really like my friends."

The play is open to the entire Cabrini campus community as well as members of the local area. Come. . . take a journey down the yellow brick road and relive the everlasting magic of the 'Wizard of Oz.' It will be a heart-filled performance you will never forget.

From the des.kof .. · When I was younger and making some important decisions in college, like changing from a voice major to Bio/Pre-med, I thought, "Oh when this is finally finished, I'll know what I'm going to do and be."

Guess what, here I am at 33, with a Masters of Science in Counseling, and at another cross-roads. The contemplation of leaving the Student Activities Office takes me back to the feelings that I had thirteen years ago when in college. "What if I make the wrong choice, what will I do ...lt might ruin my life ... WHAT IF!" You might be a freshman, and this summer you'll break the news to your parents that you are thinking of

changing your major, or you are a senior saying, "Now what do I do?"

Perhaps you are feeling a bit confused and scared, or think, "Why don't I know what I want to be?"

Do not run from the questions that might help you decide to move to another step in your life. Do not be afraid to get involved in an unknown situation. Sure, you might feel uncertain. It is a risk, but follow your inner feelings and take that risk.

I am writing this as much for myself as for the people here at Cabrini, who are in the midst of making decisions that will have lasting ramifications. Decisions do have consequences. There will be

more decisions, more opportunities, more risks, however in the future you can "weather" the decision and the consequences. If you do make the decision to risk, and go for whatever is beyond your present security, you · might find that it was even better than your wildest fantasy.

Do not limit your dreams, or delude your thinking that when one decision is finally made, you will be ready for .life. Ute is dynamic, a challenge to · be embraced and lived with expectation. I can not think of anything more stimulating than dealing with a new situation.

Move on from where your are.

Make your decision and know that

more opportunities will come to you Experier:,ce_theprocess of decision~ mak!ng in the future, again and again.

While I am going through this process, there are a couple of verses · of Scripture on which I focus and from which I find some encouragement.

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray. I will listen. You will find me when you seek me, if you look for me in earnest." (Jeremiah 29:11)
