Cabrini's curriculum of the liberally educated individual has been rewritten for the first time in almost twenty years. Next year the curriculum committee will introduce the initial stages of the Cabrini Core Curriculum (CORE). Next year's freshman class will be the first class affected by the new curriculum. "Intellectual excitement will characterize the next few years here at Cabrini," Dr. Sharon Schwarze, professor of philosophy, said. The committee was established in 1982, but Cabrini's curriculum has been the same since the early '70's. Schwarze, who wrote the core curriculum, said, "Revising the curriculum has been a six-year process and it was time to ripen." Schwarz~ said that one of the objects in rewriting the curriculum was to have more coherence among the students. She said, '· It wasn't clear where the qualities were being achieved. With the new core curriculum, I think it's clear to students. Students wanted more of a choice and we needed more cultural diversity." The core curriculum is divided into two sections, the competency and the distribution. The competency section consists of the requirements in mathematics, 3-9 credits; foreign languages, 3-6 credits; computer information sciences, 0-3 credits; and wntmg and composition, 0-3 credits. Therefore, the number of credits required under the competencies can range anywhere from 6-21 credits, depending on how wellprepared the student is. For example, students are presently required to obtain six credits in a foreign language. Under the core curriculum, students will be given the option of either having to get six credits when starting with an introductory course, or having to obtain only three credits when starting at an intermediate level. According to Schwarze, students will be encouraged to take the higher level courses in these subjects because there is more of an incentive to do so. "We're hoping students will push themselves. We want them to reach, not grab for security," she said. The other section of the core curriculum, the distribution, is divided into nine different categories. These categories are self understanding (freshman seminar); natural science; heritage; common good (junior seminar); values and commitments; social and political institutions; imagination, creativity, and aesthetic appreciation; cultural
diversity; and contemporary issues. Courses will be distributed into these categories. Courses such as fine arts, history, religion. literature, philosophy. psychology, and sociology will no longer be listed by department. A course may not appear in more than one category. However, a number of courses can appear under each category. For example, courses listed under the category of heritage can be a history course, a literature course, or even a religion course. According to Schwarze, it's like a free-fora!!. ''The distribution gives the students a lot of choice,'' she said. Credit requirementin the distribution area will be 34-35 credits. The number of required CORE credits will range from 4056, depending on the student's initial competence. According to Schwarze, in addition to the competency and the distribution, the faculty has compiled a list of books which they feel best classifies what a liberally educated individual should be familiar with. The list, which is called the Cabrini Classics, will be the primary source of materials for next year's freshman seminar in the spring. Freshmen who are well-prepared in English and composition will be able to take the freshman seminar first semester rather than having to wait until their second semester. The seminar will be restricted to groups of 15 students, but may have as many as four or five faculty members teaching it. "My job is to find people with similar interests,'' Schwarze said. The seminar is designed so that the instructor can provide their expertise in their own particular field. The $80,000 grant for the core curriculum was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. As well as the National Endowment grant, Schwarze has hopes of a possible grant from the National Science Foundation for another science course. such as astronomy, to give students more choices than just biology or chemistry. Dr. Antoinette Schiesler, academic dean, said, "I think the core curriculum is a marvelous idea. One of the things CORE is attempting to do is integrate. It is looking at the students' development." Schiesler said that students will get a taste of more than just one subject by itself. "I think it will help faculty to expand other fields of interest and that's exciting.'· Schwarze said, "We needed a knowledge of the rest of the world." Schwarze said the CORE will help students to take on a more mature attitude toward their courses and enable students to have more freedom and responsibility.

Cabrini weight room Just like other universities and colleges, Cabrini does have a weight room. Unfortunately, it is a poor excuse for one. Although the weight room was just an added extra to fill up empty space, it has now become widely used yet doesn't fulfill the expectations of the students who use it. The space in itself is small and does not allow many students to work out at the same time, not that they would want to considering that the equipment is severely lacking. The room ·s whole atmosphere is dowdy and unattractive due to many, holes in the rug. Worse. its outdated equipment couldn't even be found in a grammar school. There 1sdefinitely a real lack of ambition among students who must deal with this as they try to stay in shape. The athletic department is not at all supportive and does nothing to better the weight room. It claims lack of tunds because there are no allocated funds designated for the weight room. It JUStkeeps getting the leftovers The time has come for students v. ho do not participate in team sports to get something from their college. Improve the weight room so it 1s more enjoyable for those who utilize it. ,_____ John Dzik, athletic director, claims he wants written recommendations for ideas on improving the weight room. Smee when do students have to get the ball rolling? He· s in charge of athletics and he· s the one responsible for raising the money for fixing up the weight room. Maybe if he would push harder with the administration for an increase of his budget or justplain cut on his spending there would be some ~oney left over that could benefit the weight room. The administration has overlooked this room for years and it's time that they took notice. If Sr. Eileen would just take a walk over and see just how bad the conditions are, she would understand the problem at hand. She claims she wants to improve student life on campus, but things must happen now as well as in the future. If the athletic department wasn't so worried about the basketball team and the administration became more involved with student life, the less fortunates could be thought of every once and awhile.

Campusvandalismin fall reported.at morethan$3,000 To the Editor: I partly sympathized with student complaints that they were being treated like children, until I saw the list of vandalism reported to Physical Plant for repair or replacement. From August 30th through October 19th, there was $3500 of damage, ranging everywhere from stupid things like peanut butter on the ceiling to stolen couches and broken street lamps. That figure does not include the estimated 40-50 percent additional vandalism which doesn't get reported to Physical Plant (such as the Cabrini mugs and 1987 yearbook missing from the Admissions Office, which I keep hoping will be returned to us since we don't have the money to buy new ones). A Tittlemath prowess will show that $3500 every 6 weeks for the rest of the academic year amounts to big bucks. The $3500 also does not include all of the vandalism to the construction sites, such as removal of surveyed stakes, supplies, etc. I was surprised to hear that students don't support the construction, since I know it was undertaken to make Cabrini a better place for the students, not just the faculty and staff. (Or would you rather be associated with a college too "rinky-dink" to provide a regulation-size athletic field and whose teams can't get in full-field practice because they have to share our little field with other sports; or who doesn't respond to your complaints about lack of parking and crowded classrooms; or who can't provide even better personalized attention because we have no place to put faculty; or who makes you run all over campus for academic services such as registration, advising,drop-add, transcripts.etc....) For the few of you who do commit vandalism, or those of you who let a friend or someone else get away with it, remember that it is your tuition money that has to pay for this, and don't expect much sympathy when you complain about tuition increases. Unlik-e many other colleges who don't seem to give a damn about their students, I've really been impressed during my 2 years here, how much Cabrini people truly care about helping to make these among the best years of your life. We can't do it alone. though, and hope you 'II join in helping to make Cabrini a place of which we all can be proud. Nancy K. Gardner, Director of Admissions

Martians invadeGrover'sMill by Kelly Ann McGillan This Halloween marks the 50th anniversary of "War of the World's - Invasion From Mars.'' The sleepy little town of Grover's Mill, N.J., has never been the same since the night of Oct. 30, 1938. What Orson Wells intended to be a ghost story of sorts and a harmless Halloween p;-ank, turned into a mass hysteria. People fled their homes and all roads were jammed because they believed that they were running away from martians. It all began with: "We now interrupt Raymond Racallos and his orchestra from the Park Plaza Hotel to bring you this briefing from intercontinental news." The reporter then said, "Here is the latest bulletin from Trenton, N.J. "It is reported that, at 8:50 p.m., a huge flaming object, believed to be a meteorite, fell on a farm nearby Grover's Mill, N.J., approximately 22 miles from Trenton. The flash in the sky was seen for several hundred miles and the noise was heard as far north as Elizabeth. "We are sending a special mobile unit out to the scene and we will keep you up to date on the situation here. Now back to our program from the Park Plaza Hotel.'' A few minutes later there was another break in the program. This time reporter Carl Phillips was live in Grover's Mill. Howling winds, a mysterious swirling noise, and the screaming of panicked residents almost drowned out his voice as he reported his story. · 'The object looks like a huge cylinder, I've never
seen anything like it before.'' He interviewed Mr. Wellnitz, the owner of the farm, who explained the crash had knocked him right out ot: his chair. This entire scenario was heard nationwide. Orson Welles and a group of Mercury Theatre performers who broadcasted the radio show had no idea the panic that they had caused throughout New York and New Jersey, as they read the script in front of microphones in the studio. Even though Welles had stated at the beginning of the broadcast that it was only a fictional story, many had tuned in late and believed that martians and UFO' s had landed on Earth and planned to take over, beginning in New York City. "War of the World's - Invasion From Mars" is Grover's Mill's claim to fame and the town is celebrating the' landing' with a monument dedication, martian panic bike races, a big float parade with the local high school marching band and a black tie dinner/dance in Princeton, to name only a few events. Posters, buttons, T-shirts, and sweatshirts have been designed to commemorate the anniversary ,and local businesses are selling the products, including Macy's department store. In the days following the broadcast, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission called the program 'regrettable,' but the residents of Grover's Mill would hardly agree. Martian feverthis Halloween will be high, as -network media and the nation looks once again at Grover's Mill.

Haunted Housemarksbeginning by Kelli Rudden
As you step cautiously into the dark, silent room, you cling fast to the person beside you. Your eyes dart quickly around the room, only to find what seems to be perpetual darkness. Heartbeats quicken as a strong, powerful voice speaks out from nowhere, visions tlash in front of you and an evil scientist appears unexpectedly from behind, grasping a decapitated head, a favorite piece from his gory collection. That was only the first of many frightening and unanticipated surprises you may have encountered in the Haunted House sponsored by the Student Government Association and performed in Counsel Hall last weekend. Children and adults alike had a good scare when the · 'Creature from the Black Lagoon'' surfaced from his home beneath the sea, or when a crazed zombie fell into their path from the cei Iing. The Haunted House was the first event held to kick off a celebration of the approaching holiday called Halloween. Halloween began back in the ninth century when a feast was named in honor of all the saints on Nov. I. The evening, which we know today as Halloween, was previously called Hallows Eve. During medieval times it was believed that fairies, elves and witches tlew around on this night and large bonfires were made to ward them off and keep them away from the villages. Years later, in the late nineteenth century, these fairies were believed to play pranks on All Hallows Eve. This led young boys and men to do the same. Over the years it has led to the customs of Trick-or-Treat that we follow today. The treat is usually forthcoming, and the trick rarely occurs. However, the Trick-or-Treating years are brief for most.
This is only one of the many haunted scenes which brought to fife the Halloween SpirJL. A child only really begins to enjoy the ritual when they begin to understand it, usually at about age five or six. As the child gets older, this ritual seems babyish and immature. So, at about age eleven or twelve, although the treats are surely going to be missed, the ritual ends. Now you have on your hands a restless young
teen who still wants to be part of this holiday. but is too old for treats and too young for really cool parties. What else is there to do but cause trouble? The birth of Mischief Night. Mischief Night usually occurs the night before Halloween, and Cabrini students are more than happy to participate. One might think that by the time a person reaches college, all
The dedication and hard work of SGA turned Counsel Haff into a creepy and successful Haunted House.

of Cabrini'sHalloweentradition
The Cabrini students Laure DiNunzio, Mike Feeley, Dawn Hartley, Jayda Zazyczny, and Mark Gudas were transformed into Haunted House creatures for their nghttime visitors.
SGApresident, explains, "Mischief Night is the night before Halloween. On Mischief Night, students disrupt the campus." How do the students accomplish this mission? Zazyczny continues, ''People throw water balloons at each other and throw people in the mud. They also try to get bad · food from the cafeteria and throw it around." The main targets are the lobbies of each dorm. "They usually go around and trash the lobbies. Nothing has ever
happened to anyone, but people get in trouble for getting out of hand,'' Zazyczny adds. In order to try and keep people away from the temptation of trashing the campus, a movie night is planned. Zazyczny
said, "About four horror movies will be shown Sunday night starting around 7 p.m. Soda and probably candy will be available.'' Another event to celebrate Halloween is the Masquerade Ball being held on Saturday, Oct. 29., in the Widener Center Gathering Area. It is being sponsored by the Junior Class and WCAB, the college radio station. Costumes are required to enter the Masquerade Ball. Refreshments will be served and a bar will be available for those 21 and over. Other than the holiday itself, the Masquerade Ball is one of the most anticipated events coming up. It seems that Cabrini is well prepared for this autumn gala, with events and the familiar Cabrini spirits in full swing.

New smokinglaw headed for Cabrini by Johanna Church The cafeteria will soon become non-smoking in order to abide with the laws of Radnor Township. On Jan. 7. 1988, Radnor Township passed its first ordinance for the new year. The article was created for the purpose of "prohibiting the smoking or carryingoflighted cigars, pipes, or cigarettes in buses, certain eating and drinking places. elevators. food e~tablishments or certain indoor places of public assem~lage.'' writes Graham D. Andrews, President, Board of Commissioners of the township of Radnor, in an announcement of the new ordinance which was sent to the physical plant department at Cabrini. What does this have to do with Cabrini? The announcement specifies in its definition of eating and drinking place, that the ordinance applies to any· 'lunchroom or cafeteria in schools or other educational institutions.'' Another specification is that the establishment must have a seating capacity of 50 people or more, and those places must now create specific sections for smokers and non-smokers, with a different ventilation system for the smoking area. Since Cabrini's cafe does not have the proper ventilation system required for a designated area to be smoking, the whole cafeteria will have to be non-smoking. Also, as part of the new ordinance, signs must be posted to indicate which areas are smoking and non-smoking. As a penalty for any violation of the new ordinance, fines of $300 or less will be distributed to the institution that is violating the law. ''Phy/,ical plant is responsible for keeping up with codes and township ordinances:· said Sue Fitzgerald, R.N., who was given a copy of the ordinance by Mike Caranfa, director buildings and grounds. Even before Fitzgerald was given the ordinance, she was
interested in doing something about the smoking situation on Cabrini's campus. The spring semester of 1988 Fitzgerald took a survey from students, faculty and staff about how people felt about smoking. ''The results of that survey indicated people are very interested in designated smoking areas, but not in total bans of smoking," Fitzgerald said. As soon as Fitzgerald drafts a letter to Roland Young, manager of Seilers food service at the college, the appropri-
' Absolutelynot! I thinkthey can make it bothareas (some non-smokingand some smoking),but peoplewho smokehave just as muchrightto smokeas thosewho don'tsmoke, not to smoke' -Kathy Hogan, senior ate actions will be taken to begin transforming the cafeteria from its present stage of smoking at free will, to nonsmoking. Some students, do not agree with this new ordinance. When Kathy Hogan, a smoker, was told that the cafeteria will soon become a non-smoking place, she said, '· Absolutely not! I think they can make it bot~ areas (some nonsmoking and some smoking), but people who smoke have just as much right to smoke as those who don't smoke, not to smoke.'' "That's bad, I never heard anybody ever complain about smoking in the cafe," said Ed Avena, sophomore. "It's taking away students' rights. If people don't like other people to smoke, then they should have two sections."
There are some students who are non-smokers and who don't care if people smoke and don't get offended by smoking. · 'When you are sitting with your friends at a table, they should be allowed to smoke,'' said Susan MacKenzie, a nonsmoker. MacKenzie also said she was concerned about the cafeteria becoming non-smoking because those who smoke will just eat and leave and not hang around to socialize because they will want to leave so they can smoke. On the other hand, there are a lot of non-smokers who are very happy this change will occur. Eileen Campbell, a nonsmoker is relieved the rules are changing. "Thank God! I think it's disgusting trying to eat while other people are smoking,'' Campbell said. "I think they shouldn't smoke, it smells horrible and I don't think it's very sanitary at the same time as others are eating,'· said Mia Jackson, a non-smoker. Jerry O'Donnell, also a non-smoker.feels smoking in the cafe can be unsanitary. ·•1 don't approve of people smoking while I'm eating and people putting their cigarettes out on the trays, burning them, and putting their ashes in the cups because I will probably have to drink out of that cup later,'' O'Donnell said. Since a lot of smokers will not be happy with this change. will it work? "It should be the cafeteria staff and the other students' responsibility to enforce the new rule, so that if anyone is in the cafe and there are no smoking.signs posted, it· s up to the students to tell people that it's a non-smoking area and to please put out their cigarettes.'· Fitzgerald said. As of now, the cafeteria will be the only non-smoking section on campusotherthanthelibrary and classrooms, but Fizgerald does eventually plan to set up special smoking areas to make the majority of Cabrini's campus smoke free.

Art exhibition serves as 'teaching aide' by Susan Holefelder
' The first professional ceramic exhibition ever to be held at Cabrini, is being shown now until Nov. 6 in the library art gallery. Seven artists from the Philadelphia area are presenting their work. The purpose of this exhibition is to provide the clay artists here at Cabrini with a "teaching aide," Gail Gosser, fine arts department,said. Gosser is responsible for coordinating this event. In February of last year, Gosser started working toward her goal. Stie began contacting the artists with whom she was acquainted. The artists who are participating in the show are all professionals. Gosser wanted her students to see professional work. Mike Smyser has exhibited his work at the Campbell Museum in Camden, N.J., at a show entitled "Fixed with Enthusiam.'' Smyser's work featured in the library is stoneware. His pieces are large, with the exception of , "The Bather." In addition, his work has a "landscape theme," said Gosser. Also working in stoneware is Fritz Reindel. Reindel previously worked as a corporate supervisor. After being offered early retirement, Reindel turned his interest toward pottery. Today, he has several works of art. Reindel is exhibiting some of his tile mosaic pieces and some freestanding pieces. Also participating in the ceramic art show is Holly Adams. Adams' works are coil-built stoneware. Her works center around nature and can be found in a flower fonn. Paula Catanese is the only artist featured in this show who uses a "low fire clay" medium. Her work has an "animal theme," Gosser said. Catanese has shown her work at the Langman Gallery in Philadelphia. One of the artists who works in porcelain is Young Kang. All of Kang's work exhibited is done by a technique called thrown pottery. Brush work decorates her pieces. A studiomate of Gail Gasser's, Susan Sapareto, centers her work around human relations. Her ceramic art is

In addition, Sapareto uses colored clay and does hard work. It was the first time she has ever set up a show of not use one type of clay. She combines different clays.

Despite AIDS scare, students continue to practice unsafe sex (CPS) -- More evidence emerged last week that indicates that the AIDS (aquired immune dificiency syndrome) scare has not markedly changed students' sexual habits. More than 700,000 men aged 18 to 29 have had at least IO sexual partners during the last year, a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study found, putting them at "considerable risk'' of getting AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases. AIDS, a virus which fatally destroys the body's immune system, is spread by contaminated blood products, sharing hypodermic needles with infected people or by having sex with someone who is carrying the virus. There have been about 70,000 reported AIDS cases in the United States. The disease's spread, of course, provoked a wave of
efforts -- ranging from government pamphlets sent to every American home to the installation of condom vending machines in campus washrooms -- to persuade citizens to adopt '' safe sex'' practices. The results of the efforts seem mixed. Some reports indicate students -- a relatively promiscuous sector of the population -- have changed their sexual habits, while others indicate they haven't. A University of Wisconsin study conducted last year indicated that half the students at the Madison campus had changed their sexual behavior. A March poll conducted by the Michigan State University campus paper, the State News, revealed the AIDS threat had moved almost three quarters of the students there to make some changes in their sexual activities.
CRUISE SHIPS
But University of Texas researcher Dr. Scott Spear reported that students are still contracting other sexually transmitted diseases, indicating that students aren't heeding efforts to practice safe sex. And a 1987 survey of college students by Blotnick Associates, a New York polling finn, revealed that only 6 percent of men think about AIDS before choosing sexual partners. The new CDC study, in fact, showed that "most Americans appear to be at relatively low risk of infection," Dr. William Darrow said in releasing the findings Sept. 24. "However," Darrow added, "a sizeable percentage of young, never-married men report more than IO sexual partners in the past 12 months." About 5 percent of all the young men questioned in the CDC survey claimed they'd had more than 10 partners.

After pnonathon, booster cl·ub still on shaky ground by Bar.haraWilson
Although the newly formed Cabrini booster club is in the beginning stages of establishment, it. will eventually benefit Cabrini's athletic teams financially as well as socially. The booster club is still on shaky ground but there are many things that are being planned for.the future. Such future plans ·include making more people aware of what the boosters are all about, so that funds can be raised for future projects. Projects that are still in the initial stage include a booster club social where members of the club could get together and have an evening out. Future involvement in alumni and parents events is also planned, so that the alumni and parents can get involved in Cabrini athletics. Financial aid to all of Cabrini's athletic teams is also a major goal that is set for the booster club. The money collected from future fund raisers will go to help support Cabrini's athletic programs as well as to pay for the things needed to promote the booster club. In order to recruit pledges, the boosters must <?ffer something in return for the money they receive. The items offered in each package varies from a Cavalier window sticker to free advertising in game programs. The amount of money donated for each package ranges from $25 to$ J000 per year. Athletic Director John Dzik's goal for the
booster club is to bring in more corporate memberships while still handling parents, students and alumni memberships. A recent event that took place from Sept. 19 to Oct. 9 was the first athletic phonathon. The phonathon has so far brought in $200 from new members of the booster club. Athletes from various teams participated in phoning parents of athletic students as well as alumni who graduated all the way back to 1975. When asked if the athletic booster club phonathon took away from Cabrini's usual phonathon, Dzik said that it did not because not all alumni were called,just the ones who were previously involved in one of Cabrini's teams. The phonathon was also used to make people aware of Cabrini's recently held Cabrini-Mercedes run, as well as the upcoming cocktail party, that is set for Nov. 20. The athletic booster club's members are made up of alumni, parents and students. Each graduating senior this May will also be added to the list as honorary members forone full year. After that year, the graduates will have the option of continuing to support the booster club or canceling their membership. The parents of these graduates will also be included on the list of honorary members for one year, which entitles them to receive some of the benefits the regular members already receive.

Colin Coakley.junior, said, "The weight room should have some kind of monitoring system with work study or work grant people, to watch over the weights, machines

It started out fine for a while but as the year got going, it proved to be so unsuccessful. People wouldn't show up to do their job, no one had a key to the room. It was terrible. Plus, we have no funds to pay the monitors.
It would be a bad situation if we had the monitor system." Of those interviewed, the overall grade report of Cabrini's weight room was a Caverage, with the· majority of the people suggesting more improvements

The weight room. Almost every college campus has one. People go there to work out, to get stronger physically and mentally. They have individual programs that they must follow to achieve their own personal growth and goals. Cabrini's weight room is satisfactory to some, but the majority of the people that use it say, "Gimme a break!" Some people wonder where the weight room is. Some people wonder, when they get to the weight room, where's the equipment? Many people have different reactions to Cabrini's "muscle room. ,.Theiropinions are mixed, both good and bad. Carlos Chamorro, junior, said, "People have abused the equipment, misused the equipment and have neglected the equipment." When the weight room was initially constructed, it was a 'throw-in' idea. The main priority at that time was to have adequate locker rooms and space for Cabrini athletic teams, as well as visiting athletic teams. John Dzik, athletic director at Cabrini, said,' 'The funding for the weight room was for the space. The funding was not allocated to weight equipment. Whatever equipment we had at that time, we just put into that space.'' The weight room has some advantages and some disadvantages. The advantages are that a lot more people are using the room, it keeps people from working out off-campus at other fitness centers, offers convenience and it is free to anybody that wants to lift or exercise. The disadvantages are not enough room

Jeff Frank,junior, is one of the many students who use the weightroom to build up strength under such dilapidated conditions . (photo by Jeff Moore) to work out, appearance of the room and not enough machines to work on. Not too long ago, Cabrini had a privatelyowned, $2 million dollar fitness center called ATRA on campus. The membership fee for the year was $90. This was for the general public's use and enjoyment. Why did it leave after only one year of operation? ATRA was a separate business.
The Cabrini campus did not own A TRA, therefore being a business, it had to make profit. As it turned out, ATRA lacked the support from the campus community and the surrounding areas and therefore was out-ofbusiness. Dzik said, "I would never attract ATRA again.'' As of now. there is no separate budget for the weight room. There is a budget for
athletic equipment, designated to supply Cabrini's athletic teams with equipment, uniforms, etc. If any money is left over in the athletic budget, it might be allocated overto the weight room. Many recommendations have been made to Dzik about improving the appearance and More weightroom on page 10
