Jeanne Fisher
On Tuesday, May 10, 1988. Craigie and many others within the Cabrini College community suffered the great loss of Jeanne Russell Fisher, who died suddenly at her home in Spring City, Pa. Fisher had been the director of the theater deparrnent since she joined Cabrini's faculty full-time in July 1986. Students and colleagues paid their respects in a memorial service held in the chapel. Fisher was remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing her as a woman who radiated warmth, was dedicated to her students and who was filled with an abundance of energy. However, Fisher said in a February interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer, that she had not always approached her endeavors with such passion. She portrayed herself as a shy girl who didn't blossom until she reached college. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Fisher began her acting career by appearing in television shows, commercials, films and theatrical productions. One of her most noted performances was in the 1953 Broadway revival of the play "Room Service, in which she starred opposite Jack Lemmon. Off-Broadway, Fisher played the characters of Stella in the play "A Streetcar Named Desire" and Katherine in "The Taming of the Shrew." After taking a break to marry and raise a family, Fisher began her acting career once again by appearing in the Philadelphia productions of "Sheer Madness" and "Beyond Therapy." It was at this time that Fisher also directed lo-
cal community theater productions for the Tredyffrin Easttown Education Association• s Heintzelman Scholarship Fund. Fisher can also be credited for directing the productions of "Fiddler on the Roof,''' 'Hello, Dolly,'' "Guys and Dolls," "Oklahoma" and many others. Somewhat later, Fisher had the opportunity to act in films such as "Blow Out," "Rocky III" and "Taps." As much as Fisher will be remembered for the successes and goals that she reached throughout her acting career, she will also be remembered for what she gave, not only to the Cabrini theater department and its students, but to everyone who knew her. ''Jeanne was very in touch with people and nature. She generated the same energy and spirit that was within herself to everyone she met,'' Rosanne Rossello, senior, said. Others like Rossello who had Fisher as a teacher know that the department and her students were very important to her. According to Andrea Thompson, senior, Fisher was very supportive of her students. '' Jeanne really loved her students. She would give them the confidence they needed to believe that they could act," Thompson said. As well as leaving a part of herself in the hearts and souls of those who loved her, Fisher dedicated herself to the theater and its productions. In an interview with Loquitur in the fall, Fisher said of her goals for the theater program, "I hope to eventually establish credibility in the theater as a useful tool for the college." The shows Fisher chose to reach this goal were"Charlottes's Web," "Raisin in the Sun,'· "Our Town," "Puss 'n' Boots," and "The Diary of Anne Frank." ."She really was a gift from God," said Craigie.

CabriniCollegefall orientation ■
by Lee Mirenda On the morning of September 6, 1988, balloons draped the main entrance to Cabrini College. Red balloons led to Xavier Hall, green balloons led _toW oodcrest, and pink ones led to the parking lot. No, this path of balloons did not lead to a circus, but to the beginning of Freshman Fall Orientation 1988. But before September 6th, the freshman orientation program began with Cabrini-'s first summer orientation. Most incoming freshmen attended one of the three sessions which were held in June and July. The basic goal of summer orientation is to calm any fears freshmen and their parents may have. Bob Bonfiglio, dean of students, said the goals of orientation were to ''alleviate some fears freshman have of leaving home and introduce their parents to what they can expect from Cabrini and from their son or daughter.'' "I think the freshmen felt more comfortable this year in the fall than last year's class," Lisa Kantor, student coordinator of orientation and former orientation counselor, said. Kantor added, that this year's freshmen class is ' 'more acclimated to the campus than last year." Chris Callinan, freshman, said, "This summer helped me adjust better, it gave me a chance to ask questions." Jennifer Bannar, freshman, said, ''I liked summer orientation, I met my roommates and I think we hardly have any roommate problems now because we met during the summer." Charlie Tucci, freshman, got the most he could but of summer orientation. '' I learned how to get in trouble early,'' Tucci • said. Bonfiglio is in the process of evaluating the effect summer orientation had on
the fall orientation program. ''It's important to make sure the two programs compliment each other and are not repetitive," he said. Kantor said, "Each summer orientation session had its own personality and to see them come together in the fall was really exciting.'' When asked about the quality of her orientation staff, Kantor quickly replied "No comment." But after some laughing and some pondering, Kantor said th~y were "diverse, but they came together and
worked toward a common goal." She added, "They worked long hours and should be commended for their spirit.'' Callinan said, "The staff was helpful, they were there to answer questions and get the group to do things together." Tucci also felt the staff was helpful and said, "They put up with a lot and made me feel right at home.'' He added, · 'They joke around with you - none of them are serious.'' Bonfiglio feels that one of the

strengths of the orientation program is the small group structure led by the orientation counselors. Bonfiglio said, ''I was impressed with their ability to generate enthusiasm very early in the morning.'' The orientation counselors were the first group of students Bonfiglio got to know at Cabrini. He said, '' I enjoyed the chance to meet the OC's. They are the embodied concept of the Cabrini spirit."

Studentleaderspreparefor year
Parent's Weekend-- Parent's Weekend will be by LaTonya Lucas · 'Why are you at Cabrini and why are you a student leader here?" These questions asked by Rita Calicat, director of student activities, to a group of about 75, marked the beginning of Leadership Camp 1988. The group included orientation counselors, resident assistants, medical assistants, members of campus ministry, members of the student government association and the captain's club. On August 28, the students traveled to Quarry Hill Fanns in Uniondale, PA, owned by William Combs, chairperson, Board of Trustees, for a four day conference. The conference would attempt to provide an opportunity for greater self-understanding and an understanding of the leadership roles, among other goals that were to be accomplished. According to Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students, seven goal statements were written prior to leadership camp. "I was pleased that all goals were fulfilled," he said. In order to accomplish the goals, different rotation sessions such as "Time Management" and "How To Plan A Successful Meeting" were scheduled. The leaders were given the opportunity to attend only the ones that bore an interest to them. However, there were sessions led by Katherine Preston, director, counseling center, and Lilly Goodman, counselor, that everyone attended. During the session,"Leadership Roles: Responsibility and Commitment, the group was taught how to find their inner gifts and share them with others.
They were told that they were like snowflakes, meaning each is different, yet perfect, and had a special place in their roles. They prayed an Indian prayer called "ani hu," meaning compassionate, empathy and God. They were tol'd two secrets of success--do what you're doing when you're doing it and be where you are when you're there. With soft music in the background, they were told to close their eyes and reflect back to their childhood years as Preston gradually guided their minds to the present. Although Caroline Harvey, senior, OC, liked the reflection, she said there were certain things about her childhood years that she would rather forget. According to Maryanne Scalise, junior, OC, leadership camp did provide an opportunity for self-understanding. "Basically, I learned about myselfand what makes me, me.'' Not only did the leaders find out about themselves and others, but they also found out about the changes that will be occurring on campus. Sister Eillen Currie, president, explained in a session called, ''What's Happening At Cabrini,'' the differ1 ent phases of construction that would begin this semester. The students also took advantage of the facilities at the fann by relaxing in the sauna, enjoying a game of tennis or boating in the lake. The leaders returned to campus on August 31 and by now, they are hopefully putting the skills learned at leadership camp to good use.

The second group is titled Yuppies and Their Parents. The parents in this group can be either young or old in age, with a southern European background and are usually Catholic. They tend to live in older, more established homes. This group is similar to the first because they value education. However, they will need financialaid. The American Dream is the title of the third group. This group is comprised of younger families that tend to belong to a labor union. The parents are blue collar workers and they spend their money on needed items rather than items that are wanted. By conducting this survey, the Admissions office learned where they would be more successful in recruiting high school students. According to the zip codes compiled by this survey, randomly selected high school seniors were sent a survey to see if they have ever heard of Cabrini. As a follow-up, the consultants suggested that the office should become more personalized. According to Gardner, the Admissions office along with Kappa Sigma Omega calls accepted students to congratulate them and to answer any questions they may have. In 1985, when the freshmen class was 205, there was a housing crunch which resulted in overcrowding in Woodcrest. Gardner said that the Admissions office wonders if the low number of incom.ing freshmen was a result of the housing situation in 1985. This year, however, Gardner said that when the Admissions office realized the number of incoming students, they worked with the resident life department and student services to alleviate some concerns, like crowded donnitories. Because the class of 1992 is the biggest yet, it brought along concerns that would affect upperclassmen as well. The decision of the Admissions office was, rather than reject students, they would give housing and make triples and quads when needed. There was a housing waiting list but eventually everyone who wanted housing was offered it. The possibility of a new donnitory would decrease housing problems, but this has been delayed and will not be built before 1990, according to John Doyle, director of resident life. Woodcrest was given new furniture that takes up less space. According to Doyle, the housing for men is not as crowded as that for females.

more Pre-seasonfrom8 have eight freshmen. They don't know our system. I know it won't affect us as much but, it will hurt, for example, soccer more because they have more plays to learn,'' Tom O'Donnell, sophomore and cross country runner, said. "We'll eventually get it together. It will be a slow start. Nobody really knows how to work with each other. We're practically strangers on the field when it comes to knowing how other people move," Boyle said. "Our first match was supposed to be last Thursday, but we had to cancel it because we were not ready. We have a new coach. We couldn't do everything he wanted done. We have to adapt to him just like he has to adapt to us. He didn't even know our strengths and weaknesses," Terrie Pancio, senior and tennis player, said. One of the biggest hindrances of not having pre-season is the athletic department's annual budget for the academic year 19881989. "We don't have the money in the budget to run the camps. The athletic department can not afford to absorb approximately about a $7,000 loss," Dzik said. Dzik went on to explain that the cost to feed one athlete for one day would be about $10. Ifthereare approximately lOOathletes at camp for one week it would cost $7,000. Dzik also explained that in the budget there are certain traditional costs. In Cabrini's athletic budget you would find costs for salaries for the coaches, payment for the officials, team travel, equipment, recruitment expense, dues for the National Collegiate Athletic Association and maintenance and rental of the Cabrini vans. After all these expenses are met, there is a small amount of money for operational use for the whole year. Operational use is money used for expenses that come up during the year. "Tom Shirley.junior, for example, is the
7
athletic director for Allentown College. He has a budget line for pre-season camps. We just don't have enough money in-our budget to set aside for camps." Despite the money problems, the only team to have pre-season was volleyball. Coach Gerry Szabo put out his own money to feed his team from the first of September until school started. The team also did not stay on campus during pre-season. They spent their time off from practice at Helen Goodwin 's,physical education teacher, house. "lfwe didn't have the camp we would be lost. We had to get over the first hump. We had to get warmed up again and practice the basics,'' Christi Courseault, junior and volleyball player, said. Dzik said that the volleyball camp was unofficial due to the fact that the team was not staying on campus and the athletic department was not paying for it. Other problems evolve from within the resident life area of the college. These problems included athletes living on campus without proper supervision. "It really is unfair to the athletes to have two days of practice and be expected to go out and play. There was definitely a lack of communication here. I didn't mind them having pre-season camps as long as I had the chance to speak with them about their conduct on campus," John Doyle, director of resident life, said. Doyle went on to say that he only had a problem with the athletes and other upperclassmen being on campus the first day of freshmen move-in because it causes extra pressure for his staff and the staff needed that day alone with the freshmen. Another problem that caused the cancellation of camps is the lingering problem of conflict with leadership camp. Captains of the teams were invited to leadership camp,
this year. ''I came in not knowing a lot about the situation. What I do know is that we were trying to stress the consistency to integrate student athletes and student services. We Soccer have to re-evaluate the situation," Robert 9/14 Cabrini CCP Bonfiglio, dean of students, said.
