In the Nov. 2issue of the ci,e areas cited to be most the crash are: consumer JCi,1outlook for growth, real :::ucment, universities and •ct.::s and agriculture. :]I it affect Cabrini?

_ to Bill Battles, vice-president 1111n:naladvancement,there will .mtial effect on Cabrini's :nnds. Endowment funds are, o Webster's Dictionary, property donated to an illdividual,or group to produce

Battles said, "As far as our endowment fund is concerned, we have felt no losses. We have long-pull so that even though the value of our portfolio was negatively effected, our income from the fund will not be affected."

He continued, "We still get for operating revenues what we anticipated for this year what we anticipated from our financial manager."

Cabrini has hired a financial manager to handle the coJlege's funds. "There is a constricted policyas to how the financial manager can affect our funds. We set up groundrules for him to follow," Battles said.

Cabrini had gotten out of equity into treasury notes and more liquid accounts before the crash on the advice of its financial manager, according to Battles. "He was far-sighted enough to know that the market was crazy."

Although based upon the last fiveyears, there is a strong possibility of a tuition increase for next year, this would not at all be the result of the Oct. stock market crash , according to Battles.

Last year, according to Battles, there was a 5.6% increase in tuition. He said that that was still better than some neighboring schools and that the administration does its best to keep Cabrini's as low as possible.

'Although based upon the last five years, there is a strong possibility of a tuition increase for next year, this would not at all be the result of the Oct. stock market crash.'

Another way that Cabrini students could feel the crunch would be if their parents had invested their savings in mutual funds in the hope of selling them to pay their children's tuition.

Another area that could affect colleges would be in the amount of donations. AccordingtoBattles, Cabrini felt no effect in the amount of donations given to the College during its recent Phonathon, in which the development office solicits donations from the parents of its students.

"In fact, we got consistently more from the parents during this year's Phonathon, but that was due in part to a bigger effort on our part," Battles said.

According to officials at PrudentialBache Securities, an investment banking firm, another area that students could feel a difference might be in a tighter job market, come May. Students, especially those interested in the area of investment banking, could find potential employers wary of hiring new employees.

Nearly two months after the stock market crash, many people are still waiting to feel its effect on their lives.

Although most economists have assured the public that we won't be called on to be bit players in a rerun of the Great Depression, graduating students may be cast in an unfamiliar leading role- one where the dreams of an eager, young upstart don't pan out.

The conclusion has yet to be written, but economists have said that the psychological blow of the crash could lead to a recession. The rippling effect on students could mean that it would be harder to find a job.

In the wake of the crash, CNN went to college campuses and interviewed students who had had aspirations of working on Wall Street. Many, they found, had decided to change directions. Several interviewed had decided to go into the non-profit sector.

Students should stop waiting and begin watching what fields, like the non-profit sector, will be opening up and providing job opportunities.

Phone-chainfor winter

Although in January spring semester will begin, classes in the grips of winter must first be passed through. As the claws of winter embrace the area and dump upon it snow - but not too much to close the school-students make there way here only too often to find their class cancelled.

It wouiri be a lot easier on everyone if a phone chain was initiated in clas~~s. The professor would call one or two persons who in turn would each call another class member, and so on.

Some professors, Dr. Arthur Young, for instance, have taken it upon themselves to initiate a phone chain-like system.

Getting to school in bad weather is inconvenient for everyone, but especially for commuters. This simple, courteous process would solve the problem.

It's that time of year again. Christmas songs are on the airwaves; the malls are filled with shoppers searching for that "perfect" gift for all the people on their list and kids are asking mommies how many more days until Santa comes. When I was little, the only thing I had to concern myself with on Christmas was making sure that I was asleep before Santa came. Things were so easy back then.

Now, it seems everyone JS so busy hunymg around that the true meaning of Christmas has been lost in their rounds of activity. They are caught up in the commercialism of the holiday. For me the real meaning of Christmas is spending time with the people you love.

My family has an annual tradition on Christmas Eve. We attend the Christmas Eve vigil together and then stop and get a pizza (yes, this 100% Irish family eats pizza on Christmas Eve!) Each of us is then allowed to open one gift.

Looking back, the part of Christmas I remember most is not the gifts I've received, but rather the times that my family and I spent together. For us, Christmas is a family event.

My dad used to m3'..: about going downstairs to c;·:.:cl:. sure that Santa was gone \\1:IO: little Then he used tolinem"f • my brother and I on the steps annual picture. We have 19of stashed away!

After opening all of my parents made break:f.as: Later, when everything seu.L.~ to go to dinner atmyAunt'~are about 20: the seven in my six cousins, aunt and un~ friends, girlfriends, wives, ...._,._.._ for the first time this year, th: third generation. For years, Irish setter, was there too. n.:::-.• mashed potatoes, and Migh:_ occasion.

Now that everyone is perspectives have changed.we worry about getting to bed But we still have the same :. now we include boyfriends girlfriend because my brother, We've grown with c: Though we all have differa::: and my sister is now married, aside the time to spend holidays with each other.

For me, the emph.as6 be on the commercialism of gifts that Christmas brings. the gift of giving of yourself :i::::c to your family and friends.

And that is the Christmas. That is why Ch:.:avorite holiday.

Scheduling conflicts with Yulelog--

Dear Editor:

I would like to comment on the scheduling of the Yulelog. Since this is an annual Cabrini tradition, I feel that more people would have liked to have gone, had it not been for their Monday night classes. I did not think this was fair to them and feel that the students should have been considered.

Although I'm sure that there were significant reasons to have initiated the change, since last year it was on a Sunday, I think that there could have been an alternative to make it an event that could have been enjoyed by all.

BLOOM COUNTY

Even though I did attend the event, I' many students who were unable to do so because scheduling, just as when the classes were to hem, For example, maybe the classes could be ened or be started later or perhaps the Yulelog _._ held after the classes at 9 p.m.

If the scheduling could be changed, dents would be able to attend next year's Yulelog.. Sincerely, A concerned student

uys: more than 11just friends11 -·

"Just friends." I really don't like wcrn-out expression, yet I constantly .elfusingitin reference to some of :::b5cstfriends. I use the phrase bethey happento be male.

The term "just friends" makes -ad like I am being defensive of my •ICll:Shi.ps with these special people in -just because they are of the oppo-

It seems to me that many people a3cr the impres.sion that when two ol the opposite sex gettogether, and enjoy each other's company, that a attraction is bound to occur.

I disagree with this theory. I that two people of the opposite sex an unromantic, yet very intimate, •ro:::sru·p. In fact, that everyone should least one such friendship.

I believe it is becoming a more acand popular idea to be "just •• with a member of the opposite ,.. cially on college campuses where : these friendships are made.

1grew up with four brothers and a 1.:1 a neighborhood overrun with There was only one girl near my age _ block.Thus, I grew up with a strong a:fluence in my life.

My first close friend was Jami. He :.lll:21door. His sister Jodi was the :¢ on the block.

seek together. We played with Match-Box cars, climbed trees, and put together train sets.

As I moved through my elementary and high school years, I found it very easy to make friends with guys. I was comfortable being around guys at a time when my girl friends felt awkward.

When I began working at a department store, I developed many friendships with guys. One of these is Chas.

Chas bas one brother and no sisters. Chas calls me "the sister he never had." And although I have three older brothers of my own, I consider Chas big brother material. Chas wrote me the letter that was waiting for me in my mailbox my first day of college. He has since followed with many more.

My best friend is George. George and I became friends in freshman year of college. When we first got to know each other there was an instant attraction to one another. But, strangely enough, we each recognized it as an attraction to be friends, rather than "lovers."

It was really as if lightening had struck, and a friendship was created. Exactly one week after we were introduced, George wrote me a beautiful letter recognizing that a special friendship was being created. Today, and forever, I consider that letter to be worth more to me than any love letter that I have, or probably, ever will, receive.

"Good friends happen to be one of the only things that remain the same in our quickly changing world, as is their support that we so often seek ," wrote George in that letter. He then offered me his friendship "for alway~."

The friendship between George and myself has blossomed and grown. We used to have marathon phone calls where we discussed friendship, our respective love lives ( as well as talking about the idea of love itself), school, the world, and anything and everything concerning life itself.

I do~'t mean to say that having a male friend JS BEITER than having a fem ale friend. I am trying to say that male friends can offer a different type of friendship than female friends

Ftrst off, I actually find guys, at least with my friends, to be more open and honest than girls. Guys offer constructive criticism and seem to take it when given.

Girls, on the other hand, are afraid if they say something, and their friend takes it the wrong way, it might damage their friendship. They are afraid of hurting each other's feelings.

When I talk to my male friends I don't expect them to speak for their entire sex. They do give me insight on "the other side of the fence." Guys are objective. They can help their female friends steer clear of rocky romances, just by knowing how guys act in general.

For instance, when I'm having problems in my love life, my female friends immediately jump to my side. They all gang up and complain, "Well, aren't men terrible? They think they can treat girls like ,,

To the Editor:

During the week of November 1520, Campus Ministry sponsored its third annual Hunger Awareness Week. It is looked upon as an effort to increase interest and raise concern on the part of the Cabrini College community to the reality and problems of world hunger.

The Hunger Awareness Committee has a two-fold objective: to inform faculty, staff, administration, and students about the situation of world hunger, and to creatively challenge these individuals to respond. Through various options, such as the coffee house, congressional letter writing, Move for Hunger, hunger films, etc., the campus community had the opportunity to educate themselves on hunger issues existing in our world today.

Through the efforts of this committee and the generosity and enthusiasm of the campus community, approximately $1,200.00 ( as of December 2) was raised during this week. This money will be given to two hunger organizations: Oxfam America and the Mis.sionaries of Charity shelter in Norristown.

Oxfam America is an international agency that funds self-help development projects and disaster relief in third world countries. The Missionaries of Charity in Norristown are a religious order of nuns affiliated with Mother Theresa of Calcutta. Their shelter cares for the hungry and homeless in the Norristown area.

It is my hope that the Hunger Awareness Committee'seffortswill not be soon forgotten in this fast moving world. Instead, think about this realistic problem and see how you can make a difference, no matter how small or minute you may think. Every little bit really does make a difference!

I get another point of view from my male friends. My male friends might agree that the love of my life is acting out of line, but, more often than not, they let me see the other side. I understand where they're coming from because of this.

Having men as friends has completely destroyed the stereotypical ~deas?f men surround me. Guys are mcredibly sensitive and emotional human beings. Often, this side of them is not revealed with their Saturday football buddies. My male friends have told me that they find it easier to talk to me about things, rather than the guys.

Campus Ministry and the Hunger Awareness Committee would like to thank all those who planned, participated, or volunteered their services during this week.

Thanksgiving drive thanks

To the Editor:

We would like to thank the campus community for enabling our food collection to be a great success! We were able to provide an assortment of non-perishable goods, as well as a turkey and apple cider for each of the45 families. Additionally, we had extra food to give those who had been placed on our waiting list.

The money that was made from our fund-raiser, as well as from contributions, went directly to the purchasing of the turkeys and cider.The clothing that was donated to Saint Vincent's, located in Northeast Philadelphia, and also to a shelter in Center City.

We wish to extend special thanks to Joe DiGrazio, manager at Genuardi's Su1~rm arket in Che~terb!"ook,who generously provided his time and effort to ensure that we would have the needed turkeys and cider.

Although we cannot thank everyone individually, our sincere thanks are extended to those who participated in the collection and distribution, and also to those who became consciously aware of this community's needs. Your involvement and awareness enabled Thanksgiving Day to truely be a day of thanks!

A look at the world in 1987. and

by Amy Lennon and Kristin Kroll

It was a year not to be forgotten. It was marked by strengths and weaknesses, triumphs and defeats, pleasures and pain. It was 1987.

The new year began tragically when nearly 100 people died in San Juan, Puerto Rico at a hotel inferno which was set by striking employees.

At the same time a controversy over the legalization of surrogate motherhood began, and the battle of Baby M intensified in the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Another battle started over the 1988 presidential elections with popular Republican contenders being George Bush, Robert Dole, Pete du Pont, Alexander Haig, Jack Kemp and Pat Robertson. The Democratic candidates include Bruce Gephardt, Albert Gore,JesseJacksonand Paul Simon. (No, not the singer.)

On a more glamorous note, Vanna White, the would-be star, became a commercial success by doing nothing more than wearing formal gowns and uncovering hidden letters.

Other people who made the headlines in 1987 include: David Letterman, Billy Joel, Amy Carter, Oliver North, Fawn Hall, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson (again).

war of blacks against the government over human rights conditions plagued South Africa.

Rebel leader Colonel Gregorio (Gringo) Honasan led a major coup attempt that nearly destroy,d Tim,! Magazine's woman of the year, Corazon Aquino, Phillipines president.

In West Beirut, Lebanon, a murderous bloodbath occurred between the Shi-ite Amal Militia and the leftist coalition of Prize Militia men.

In South Korea, students formed a core of opposition to the Chin regime and led protests in their fight for democracy.

Oral Roberts claimed that if he did not raise $4.5 million for the medical missionary scholarships at the university which bears his name, God would "call him home." And the public complied.

Pope John Paul II, the most traveled pope in history, visited the southern states in the U.S. Making several stops along the way, the pope preached the Catholic church's position on such controversial issues as AIDS, homosexuality, and abortion.

chael Dukakis' campaign revealed that Biden had plagiarized speeeches throughout his career.

Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger, resigned as well. There is now only one member of Reagan's original cabinet still in office.

Oliver Norlh was fired from the National Security Council staff for his powerful role in the Iran-contra scam. The Congressional Committee on the Iran-Contra hearings, led by Congressmen Daniel Inouye and Lee Hamilton, pegged Admiral John Poindexter, National Security Advisor, as most responsible for the illegal proceedings.

The Iran-Contra report, the end result of an extensive congressional investigation, pointed the finger (albeit not directly) at President Ronald Reagan stating that "ultimate responsibility lies with the President."

Throughoutthe summerof'87, we watched and listened to the contiuing saga of the PTL club's Jim and Tammy Bakker. Everything from Tammy's eyelashes to Jim's antics in a Florida hotel room were revealed to the public. His toy, Jessica Hahn, was later offered $265,000 to keep quiet concerning a Playboyspread.

Gary Hart's political career came to a screeching halt after Miami Herald reporters claimed that Hart had engaged in some serious "monkey business" with Donna Rice. Subsequently, Hart resigned from the 1988 presidential race, and Rice went on to promote "no excuses" jeans.

Peace activist lectureson 'conscientious objection'

by Kristin Kroll

"It is not for power, it is for truth. It does not say that we shall overcome, but that this is the day of the Lord and He shall overcome." It, is what Gordon Zahn, nationally known peace activist stands for, conscientious objection.

On Dec. 2, Zahn visited Cabrini College and lectured on several subjects pertaining to conscientious objection. He spoke on the "primacy to conscience" in all matters related to participation in war and the armed forces.

"I have always had a very strong emotional rejection of killing. I believe you should question and think about it and understand when Catholics are obliged to disobey," Zahn said. He serves as National Director of the Pax Christi USA Center on Conscience and War.

"In the past, Catholics felt compelled to prove their patriotism by fighting. Dr. 'Zahn has come out of this American Catholicism tradition to give his belief of pacifism," Dr. Margaret Reher, professor of religion, who arranged Zahns visit,said.

Under the law, provisions are made for those conscientious objectors, who from religious training and belief are opposed to all wars.

Two forms of alternate service groups were established. The first called the lAO is for those people who refuse to bear arms, but will accept a non-combat service job. The second group called 10 (pronounced One-O), is for those who have had a "crystalization of the conscience" and want nothing to do with the military.

The Civilan Public Service duringWorld War II put the 10group, which consisted of70 men, in a camp to perform public services such as cutting down trees or building bridges.

"We were social deviants,'' Zahn said. "We felt like the out people and had resentment to the entire system of which we were a part."

This non acceptance from the general consent of Catholics is still in existence te>?ay.The U.S. Catholic Bishops' Pastoral Letter on war and peace, May 3, 1983, said "To Youth We ask you to study carefully the teachings of the Church and the demands of the Gospel about war and peace. We encourage you to seek careful guidance as you reach conscientious decisions about civic military forces."

In 1980, Pope John Paul II at Drogheda, Ireland said, "To all of you who are listening I say: "Do not believe in violence; do not support violence. It is not the Christian way. It is not the way of the Catholic Church. Believe in peace and forgiveness and love; for they are of Christ."

Although the Vatican praises Catholic conscientious obj!!ctors and see it a sign of maturity, the parishes still have not accepted it.

As William Shakespeare once said, "Conscience makes cowards of us all."

"Shakespeare was wrong, dead wrong," Zahn said. "It is the role of conscience to make heroes."

At this year's Grammy Awards, "album of the year" went to Paul Simon for his controversial "Graceland" album. Burt Bacharach anti his wife Carol Bayer Sager won "song of the year" with "Thats What Friends are For." "Best female rock vocalist" went to Tina Turner while "best female pop vocal" went to Barbra Streisand. Robert Palmer was awarded "best male rock vocal," Steve Winwood won" best male pop vocal" and "best rhythm and blues" went to James Brown.

1987 saw the return of the mini skirt worn shorter and sexier than ever before and complemented by black stockings and pumps, in addition to the oversized jacket.

By July, there had been 400 nearmisses involving commercial air lines, averaging more than one a day. The plight of Northwestern's Flight 255 gripped America's hearts. 156 people perished both on the ground and in the air with one lone survivor. Four-year-old Cecilia Cichan's entire family died in the crash and American adopted her as their own, filling a hospital room with stuffed animals, tuition offers, cards and monetary gifts. AIDS continued to take its toll on U.S. history - becoming the worst known public health problem of this century. No one has ever recovered from it, and scientists continue their search for a cure. The death rate from AIDS doubled this year prompting social and moral controversy over the advertising of condoms.

As the AIDS epidemic grew, so did tension in the Persian Gulf. The U.S. assembled its biggest war fleet since Vietnam there in order to protect international waters.

The U.S. waters were also undergoing some problems. Dead dolphins, syringes, condoms, fecal coliform, and sewage polluted the beaches and waters of California, Texas and the entire East Coast. On Oct. 15, the largest, most powerful economy in the world came crashing down a record 508 points. Wall Street was left in shambles as many lost millions of dollars.

For a smaller group of people in a Texas town, the stock market dilemma was unimportant. To them, all that mattered was saving a little girl named Jessica McClure who mistakenly fell 20 feet into a well. Television shows were interrupted some 55 hours later, and as America and the world stood vigil, little Jessica was raised from the ground.

Around the same time, a position for the U.S. Supreme Court needed to be filled to replace Judge Lewis Powell. It had many potential nominees, the first being Judge Robert Bork whose nomination was defeated. Judge William Ginsburg was the second nominee but resigned due to controversy including an admission that he smoked marijuana during his term as a college professor. Judge Anthony Kennedy of California is presently running, and is expected to win.

Reading day sacrificed for late openin

by Jacqui McClen.can

As the semester winds down students are finishing up last minute papers and projects anc. of course, preparing for final exams. But wait just one minute, the last day of finals is Dec. 22. Isn't Christmas just a short three days later?

In addition to exams ending later this year, the reading day has been eliminated. Accordiug to Dr. Mary Ann Biller, academic dean, it is a double edged S\\ord.

"We considered starting a week earlier but we realize that a number of our students have jobs down the shore and Labor Day weekend is important," she said.

The Academic Council decides the academic calendar for the year and the registrar schedules the exams.

Robert Fetterhoff, registrar, said, "There are many valid reasons why exams arc ending later this year."

Fetterhoff points out two reasons for the scheduling. He said that if exams ended on Dec. 23, allowing for a reading day, then final grades would not make it to the registrar's office until after Christmas. This in turn would delay the arrival of grades to students at home for the holidays.

The second reason was the aspect previously mentioned by Biller, beginning school a week earlier and the repurcusions it would entail.

'When Biller was asked about the possibility of eliminating Monday, Dec.14 as a class day and making it a reading day she explained.

"Traditionally, the fall semester is shorter by a week than the spring semester

and we are already behind on MondayFriday classes because of the Dean's Fall Holiday, which fell on a Monday," she said.

Fetterhoff said that the academic calendar prepared by the Academic Council was approved in the spring oflast )Car by both the Student Academic Council and the Faculty Academic Council.

Despite the administrative approval and the apparent pros and cons of the scheduling, students still remain unsatisfied.

Lisa Rancatore, senior, said that this year she happens to be lucky because most of her exams were final projects that have already been presented. Although her exam schedule is not as difficult as others she says that she can understand the dilemma.

"If I did havea number then the lack of the reading day the weekend to studywould hurt."

"It's a raw deal for the students.Rancatore pointed out Lb.a£•11 to study for two exams in one d%1,,. the reading day can be difficult bo:-• is nearly impossible to retain information.

As for the scheduling of close to Christmas she said, "The are for families and it might be people who have to travel or just_ accomplished before Christmas.. the semester it is just too hectic.• Biller said that the sched::iim• done wi.:lithe students in mind ·--·--• summer.

A sentimental gathering for the seniors

By Patrick Zipfel

On Friday, Dec. 4 the annual Senior Dinner was held for all seniors in _the Mansion Dining room. The dinner is sponsered by the Alumni Office to get all the semors together and introduce to them the idea of being alumni. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Mother Ursula award to an outstanding senior.

Peggy Emmerich, senior, said,"It was a chance for all of the seniors to get together and a time to realize they are close to graduation. The alumni introd.u~~dto us the idea of being alumni and they gave us a chance to find out some of the act1v1t1esthat we will be able to get involved in after graduation."

After the dinnertheseniorclasswasable to meet some members oftheAlumru Association and they were informed on how they can get involved with fundraisers and participate in alumni affairs.

Later on in the evening the Mother Ursula award was presented to a senior that represents the ideas and beliefs of Cabrini College. This year the award was presented to Mike Edmundson, senior. He was voted on by his fellow classma_te_s someone who has shown himself as an all-around good person for the good of Cabnm.

"The affair was really nice and it gave the seniors a chance to relax and get together," Edmundson said. "I am really looking forward to graduation and it was great to get all the seniors together."

With this honor Edmundson will serve as a speaker at graduation and will receive an award from the Alumni Office.

T?ys for Tots ~as started in 1947 by Marme Colonel 6ill Hendricks as a way to provide needy children with new toys for Christmas.

Now, the program operates nationwide to distribute toys locally.

There are three ways to get involved with the Toyfor Tots program. As a sponsor, area business.e_swork at raising money for the toys while volunteer workers publicize the progrnm. Then, local volunteers go to area toy stores and collect a ~ariety of different toys using the money ra.tSedby the sponsors ( and a little of their own, too.)

The Marine Corps receives letters from children asking Santa for toys. Once all of the toys are collected from the various drop offlocations, the Marine Corps categorically selects the toys according to the children's request.

There are other organizations participating in the program including musical bands, restaurant chains and sports teams.

On Dec. 16, Toys for Tots and the 76ers basketball team will be working together to raise toys by offering half-priced tickets for those people who bring a brand new toy.

Acc~rding to Leanne Hinkley, promotion assistant for WIOQ radio station a concert will be held this Wednesday at the Valley Forge Music Fair in honor of Toys for Tots.

The Music Fair will distribute free tickets to those who bring a toy.

According to Hinkley, "It will be a mountain of toys. It's exciting to see that many toys in one location," she said.

Dr. Adeline Bethany: Perfectingthe fine arts at Cabrini

by Rachel Atbelia Anderson

"Sleep till the break of day ," Adeline Bethany, associate professor, chairperson, fine arts, conducts a soothing Christmas song with smooth sways and rhythmic hand gestures. A flood of musical experience flows through her hands as she instructs the chorus to move the song to its exact pitch.

Person of the Week

Standing on a wooden box with a pen sticking out from the back of her right ear, she conducts other popular Christmas songs.

There is a break in the music so that she can discuss the Christmas concert's song menu. She names carol after carol.

"How do these sound to you?" Bethany asks. There are a few responses from the chorus. "We'll see how the audience is responding," she says firmly. "We're not going to do all of them."

Further instructing the singers on their concert, she reminds a few older gentlemen that they are not permitted to stand up against the wall during the real concert. (She explained later that they would be standing a long length of time.)

"Your feet are going to hurt. My feet always hurt," she says smiling. She strongly advises them to wear comfortable shoes. "Like those Chinese shoes. I had a pair, but I lost them."

The chorus begins their harmonizing again. Their voices slowly die down to a near whisper. Bethany steps down from her box, looks up and cups her hands to form an imaginary megaphone. The voices rise and become louder.

Listening to the chorus, one hears the time they put into practicing. Watching them, one can't help but laugh at the few members performing silly antics in the background. Bethany continues to conduct.

The pianist provides a cue for yet another song, but the song is not heard. Bethany looks up into a blank face. She says firmly, impatiently, "Come on."

The music stops. The singer speaks. "I didn't go over it," he says with a nervous chuckle.

The last note is sung to that ofa popular tune. "What happened? I'm disappointed with that. Can we do that one again?" she asks softly, with a touch of compassion. The pi~ist pl&ystheir cue and they start again.

Practice ends. Singers begin to leave. Bethany lingers, socializing with them, providing musical pointers. Placing her hand on the head of one girl, she smiles telling her information.

According to Bethany, the chorus is ready fut" their Christmas concert. "They better be ready," she says.

Bethany's duties include more than conducting the chorus. She must schedule courses, obtain staff to teach the courses, schedule cultural events, advise art administration students, and teach soµie music courses.

Bethany has a Ph.D. in music. The entire process moved her to attend a diverse list of schools; schools that emphasized different aspects of music.

Bethany obtained her Bachelor of Music from the University of Arts in Philadelphia. During that time, she lived in West Philadelphia, where she grew up. "I'm a city girl."

After the Bachelor's degree, she worked for her Masters in music at West Chester University. Bethany earned her doctorate of music at Villanova University.

After her graduation from college, Bethany taught grades one through eight, in public and parochial schools. Later, in 1975, she came to Cabrini College to teach an elective course in music methods to education majors.

After a while, she asked if she could offer a course in~ music. Though the person told her "it will never carry," she was granted permission.

Is Bethany going to continue here?

"If Cabrini will have me. There is some~ special about Cabrini College that I find very ap.,-___,_ Bethany says.

Bethany realizes she is frequently seen dashing on campus. How does she think people percei·. "Sometimes I hear people say I'm intimidating," SD: She has heard this said quite a few times, and it shod::i "Just my size should make me not seem intimicb.:ix.:

During her first years at Cabrini, she also taught at Neumann College and Delaware County Community Dr. Adeline Bethany, chairperson, fine arts depa.n:=-r College (D.C.C.C.). Bethany has since erased Neumann (photo by Mike Stevenson) College from her list of duties, but continues to instruct a chorus at D.C.C.C. The D.C.C.C. chorus began with fifteen members, it has since grown to 112. The chorus members at Cabrini College total 42.

A look at Christmas past in Counsel Hall

by Lee Mirenda

Memory lane is a trail often taken during the Christmas season. Let's take it back to Christmas 1984. The setting is Cabrini College. The place is Counsel Hall. This year's seniors were freshmen back then, and it was the last year Counsel Hall was a male residence.

A challenge existed among those men of Counsel to be the best decorated dorm. "There was a challenge between person to person to show everyone up even before the (dorm decorating) contest," John Doyle, former Counsel resident assistant, said. "Counsel was alwaysthe dorm to beat, so the guys had pretty big egos,'' Doyle added.

"We dropped cut up pieces of white paper out the window above the door the judges were coming in to look like it was snowing," Gary Firestine, senior, said.

Chris Francis, senior, described some of the decorations in the hallway. "Joe Dodds put up a four foot Christmas tree, inacorner ofthehallwaybyroom28, with a record player playing Christmas music 24 hours a day."

Friendships: sharing time with special people

by Rachel Athelia Anderson

Friends since first grade, they played many childhood games together: Hopscotch, Double-Dutch, and the more sophisticated 1-2-3 Capture with the boys.

Monique Walker and Susan Strickland are two best friends in their mid-20's. They have shared many experiences: pulling pranks together, choosing boys for each other and running away together, off school grounds, across the street.

"No matter where I went, she was there. No matter where she was, I was there," Walker explained.

They knew each other well, well enough to share the most intimate secrets, the most confidential promises and include each in the other's future. ''We knew each other to the point that she could pick out a guy for me better than I could." Well enough to know what each was thinking sometime.

Their promises were serious and mostly about boys. They promised each other that no matter what guy came in and out of their lives,no guy would ever break their friendship.

They promised that they would know each other forever. They planned their future years ago. Of course they would each marry a well-to-do man and be neighbors forever. Of course it would be a double wedding. Later in their marriages, they would bear children, around the same time so that their kids could be the same ages.

Walker and Strickland never grew apart, even during the peak of their early dating years. Walker met a boy and introduced her best friend to his best friend. According to them, that worked out rather nicely, quite convenient. Walker and Strickland participated in many escapades while involved with their new friends. Sneaking in their homes past curfew and helping each other create undeniable fabrications are memories these two girls will never forget.

Walker's boyfriend's best friend eventually became Strickland's fiance. "I was happy that I was a part of that." Walker explained.

Soon the wedding plans began. Then the day arrived. Susan Strickland became Susan Lockley.

"Seeing your best friend get married ," Walker began. "Seeing them with those gold bands on their fingers was different," she said, shaking her head. The couple was married at Strickland's and the bridal shower was held at the Walker residence. The Lockley's later moved far away.

After the excitement of the wedding died down, Walker realized something very important. Although she was welcomed at the Lockley residence, "I was sort of jealous of Kendall because it was like Kendall took something away from me," Walker said. "Hopefully he (Kendall Lockley)won'tgetshipped over seas,becausel'lljustdie," she said.

Keeping a friendship strong over such a long distance is difficult. "She's there and I'm here and you can't really say everything over the phone," Walker said. They don't talk to each other like they used to because of the long-distance telephone bill.

Although Walker and Lockley are still best friends, they don't share as many secrets or make as many promises. Their futures didn't work out exactly as planned. Walker is a working girl and Strickland is now Lockley. "I wish she had stayed and we would have kept on chit chatting."

Dorm Decorating

Cold air has settled in. Trees are decorated in garland, lights: and bows. Lights are attached to the windows and the walls of dorm Fake snow is put on the windows. Dorm room doors are decorated as presents in wrapping paper and bows. Nativity scenes appear under=-='" and on fireplaces.

Chorus performs to bring holiday spirit

by Denise Civa

It all began with a six song Christmas carol medley which included "Hark! the Heralds Angels Sing," "Silent Night,'' and "Joy to the World." It finished with the "Hallelujah Chorus" by George Handel from "The Messiah."

It seemed a night to remember. It was Dec.6, the night the season's spirit descended on Cabrini and the chorus performed their annual Christmas concert.

The 40 member choir made up of students, alumni, and community mem~rs and directed by Dr. Adeline Bethany, chairperson of the Fine Arts department, entertained the audience that came to the festively decorated Widener Center Lecture Hall to hear songs of Christmas old and new.

The audience this year though, according to the students and Dr. Bethany was not as large as in past years, but yet were very receptive to the songs and music. This was definitely shown through the wide participation in the audience sing-a-long that is performed half way through the show. A booklet of Christmas songs was passed out to the audience before the concert began and during the concert the audience was allowed to choose which carols they would like to perform.

The audience also showed their enthusiasm for the show during the songs performed by soloists Maria Stellabotte, senior, Therese Wainwright, alumna '71, Rita Ganima, alumna '86, Karen Clark, senior, and Amy Lopolito, freshman.

Lopolito was apparently a great favorite when she sang a song entitled "Jesus" which she wrote and performed herself.

"It's not just mysong. It's God's song through me,'' Lopolito said.

Steve Quinn, Lopolito's boyfriend from Maryland who came up to Cabrini just to hear the song performed, said, "I'm overwhelmed. I'm always very proud of her."

"It's a beautiful song of love and devotion," Bethany said.

Bethany also mentioned that this is the first time a student has written and performed a song at the Christmas concert.

The whole evening seemed to go very smoothly. Even the fainting of one of the choir members didn't really take away the Christmas mood that was in the air.

It seemed like "orderly'' confusion then. The choir practiced walking on and off the bleachers.

"You have to be a disciplined group You must look like a unit,'' Bethany said.

"Never, never talk or communicate with anyone in the audience," Bethany would instruct again.

And then they sang,and out of the confusion came beautiful music which was sometimes sung softly, sometimes loudly, but alwaysjoyfully.

All this long preparation and practice, which according to Sister Valerie Rose, choir member, began in September, seemed to pay off.

The show, to many in the audience and even those in the chorus, went well and reallysharedthejoythe holiday season and the music associated with it had to offer.

Dr. Bethany summed up her feelings of the Christmas concert.

"It sets off the season for me,'' she said. "It gives me a warm and happy feeling."

Gene Baeurle said that he thinks basketball has been a learning and maturing experience about life in general for Annmarie as she has learned about

Kim Londergan, Baurle's best friend from home, said, Annmarie is always herself and never phony. I can honestly sayshe is one of the only genuinely friendly people I know."

She continued, "After I get off the phone with Annmarie I alwayshave a smile on my face; she just puts me in a super mood, no matter how 1 feel."

In asking Baeurle to describe herself she said, "I am impatient, mellow, affectionate, cautious and very loyal."

Looking at Baeurle's room it is evident how much her family and friends mean to her, pictures decorate the room. In addition to the picture, there are numerous beach scenes. Some of Baeurle's favorite moments have been spent at the "beach" (Dewey Beach).

"If it were up to me I would spend four out of seven days at the beach because it is just so carefree and relaxing," Baeurle said.

On the other hand, Baeurle's family means a great deal to her. She is the youngest of three with two older brothers.

Londergan said, "She takes what her family says very seriously and values their opinions, especially her brothers' to the highest regard."

Baeurle said, "Each member of my family inspires me in a special way as do my friends."

Whether you are an expert skier or simplya beginner, you willneed to know the facts on safe skiing.

Last year, several people on campus suffered ski-related injuries. Among these casualities were: Mike Charvala,junior, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament; Steve Buividas, freshman, who crashed into a tree while skiing at Camelback, bruising his thigh; Laurie Kitchin, sophomore, who displaced her kneecap while skiing in Vermont; and Karen Santucci who spent weeks in traction because her rented skies came unattached and tossed her down the slope.

Because skiing has the potential to be a dangerous sport, skiers should be informed on what precautions to take in order to avoid unnecessary injuries.

"When you rent the equipment, others have used it time and time again. You can never be sure how safe it really is," Fenerty said.

You choose the time Toys R US is the place!!

Good equipment is perhaps the best way to protect oneself against injury. Molly Fenerty, senior and experienced amateur skier, recommended that skiers purchase their own skies, poles, boots and bindings.

LeMons are also highly encouraged, especially for beginning skiers. This gives them the opportunity to learn the basic techniques of safe skiing.

The levels of skiing difficulty are: beginner, novice, intermediate, and expert. Beginners should use shorter skis, preferably 135-145inches. The shorter the length of the ski, the more control the skier has. Expert skiers usually should wear 185 inch skis. These skis are longer, and quicker but more difficult to control.

Although poles are not necessary, skiers use them to keep their balance. "I have to use poles when I ski," Kitchin said. "They are like a security blanket."

While skiing, ~l parts of the body should be covered. Protective clothing is just as important as good equipment.

"The ideal ski-wear is light, but warm," Kim Kovach, senior, said.

Layered clothing is recommended, however, skiers should not go overboard. Down ski jackets, warm-ups, sweaters, turtlenecks, scarves, and insulated gloves should be worn to protect the body against frostbite.

Elaine Santucci, senior, wears a sunblock to protect her skin from sunburn. Santucci also recommends sunglasses to cut down on the glare. Some skiers prefer to wear goggles to keep the snow out of their eyes.

Fenertysaid it is especially important not to wear more than one pair of socks. "The boots are already warm and if you wear socks that are part wool, your feet should be warm enough. Layers of socks have a tendency to trap moisture, causing the feet to feel cold."

Transportation is another factor in planning a trip. Mary Ellen Herzog, director of development, used to plan trips. According to Herzog, she had to figure out a procedure of transporting people from their homes to the place of departure and then to the designated area. Accomodations also have to be planned to inform the skiers of the living conditions. "Brochures are really important. It will show them where they will be living, if meals are offered, and if there are places to cook or not," Herzog said.

Al though it is not hard in planning a trip, it can be time consuming. Gibson said that he starts booking trips as early as August.

Jay Rader, senior, tried to plan a trip during his freshman year, but because he didn't get enough people to attend, the trip didn't go over. Rader recalled that a deposit was needed 60 days in advance and he couldn't get enough people to make a commitment.

Farther north, skiers can enjoy the slopes and resorts of the Poconos. Here, the most popular slopes are Jack Frost, Big Bolder, Camelback and Shawnee.

Also listed among the slopes throughout Pennsylvania are the fouryear-old Montage located in Scranton and Elk Mountain located in Uniondale.

While most slopes are alike in that. they provide skiers with the fun and challenge that they long for, they can vary greatly.

According to Robinson, prices for ski trips depend on length of stay and location. The cost of ski rentals and lift tickets are set by the individual resorts, "However, some packages are all inclusive," Robinson said. "An Aspen package, including round trip air fare, for one week will run about $1,000per person."

Robinson also staled that a weekend, which is considered to start at noon onThursdayandendatnoononMonday in Aspen might run about $500 a person.

Depending on whether you have your own equipment or not, local skiing prices may vary.

"What you pay depends on what day you go and where," Panetta said.

According to Shoup, a night lift ticket at Spring Mountain will run $12 and at Doe Mountain, $14. Weekend day tickets are $15 and $23. In the Poconos, day lift tickets on the weekends will cost from $25 to $29 this year. Prices can also vary on whether the purchase includes a half day or full day lift ticket.

Skiers are also concerned about what the best months of the season are for skiing. January and February seem to be the two most popular months due to the quantity of snow that generally falls.

"My favorite month is January because the condit:ons are better and I prefer to ski on fresh powder," Cole said.
