Combsgives Kantorchosenas Mother reasons·for Ursulaaward recipient resignation by LaTonyaLucas On July 28, 1988, Sister Eileen Currie, president, received a one-sentence resignation from William Combs, then chairperson of the college's board of trustees. Until now. no one knew exactly why Combs resigned, not even Currie. Combs, in a telephone interview with Loquitur, said that he did not agree with Currie's policies. "Decisions have been made before the board was told. This leaves no room for questions and answers," he said. Combs referred to the recent firing of William Battles, vice-president for institutional advancement, and the resignation of James Fitzsimmons, dean of students. Currie was asked about her relationship to the board of trustees, to which she reports. Currie said that the board of trustees sets policy, but does not do the everyday management. "It's appropriate to use them for consultation. It's my responsibility to staff the institution," Currie said. According to Barbara Rawls, second vice chairperson, board of trustees, Currie reports to the board. She does not manage the board. Rawls said that Currie also reports to her order, the Missionary sisters of the Sacred Heart. According to Combs, Currie's decision to fire Battles, influenced his decision to resign. Combs gave threereasons why he disagreed with the removal of Battles. He said that there was no "decent" explanation as to why Battles would be fired, there was no reason to believe that Battles was doing anything but a fine job and there wasn't a replacement for Battles already lined up. "This was a bad management decision because you don't get rid of good people without back up," Combs said. Combs said that if there were legitimate reasons in firing Battles, there should be no problem in discussing it with the board of trustees. Although Combs resigned before Battles was actually fired, Currie had told Combs prior to his resignation, that she was displeased with Battles, according to Combs. Combs said that his resignation was submitted with hope to bring Currie to her senses. "Combs never told me why he left the board of trustees, nor has he told the board," Currie said. Rawls said that she was mystified initially when she found out that Combs had resigned. "I wanted to understand more and why it happened," she said. According to Currie, ihe tried to get Combs on the phone in early September, but he was busy and couldn't talk. Combs said that Currie knew why he submitted a onesentence resignation. "She knew I was very unhappy," Combs said. "As chief executive," Combs said, "she has the power and she has to run it her way." According to Combs, before she fired Battles, Currie was going to offer Battles a newly-created position as her Combs said that this would have been an unauthorized addition to the budget.

Kantor was elected by her fellow classmates who commemorated her for her many achievements over the past three years. See story on page 8 and more coverage on Mother Ursula award, page 6.

Two years ago it had been Combs who had recommended Battles to be vice-president for institutional advancement and Combs believes that it will take two people to replace him. Combs said that he was shocked when the decision was made to get rid of Battles. "He did a lot more than what his job description stated. He knew the students, he cared and encouraged the students," Combs said. Combs agreed that Battles did not have experience in running a major fund-raising campaign, but Combs said, "We hired consultants to advise us on campaigning. I never heard a word from them about Battles not doing the right thing." Although Combs felt that Currie was a fine person, he believed that she does not have a real feeling for the students and faculty on a daily basis. "She is not available, she is not

accessible," Combs said. Currie said that Combs was extremely generous to Cabrini. According to Combs, he was getting ready to donate money, but he never did. "I gave a lot of time and money and happily so," Combs said. Rawls said that she believes there is more to the story than can be told. "It's frustrating for me to see what's reported. but we can't comment because it's not in the best interest of those involved," Rawls said. Combs would have been going into his third year as chairperson. It was Anna Kruse, assistant professor. biology, who introduced Combs to Cabrir,i. It is Sr. Mary of Lourdes, first vice chairperson, board of trustees who has taken over Combs' responsibilities until a new chairperson is appointed.

Presidentneedsto be more visible on campus Compared to larger colleges, you would think that our president would be highly visible. Right? Unfortunately, this is not the case, as most students on campus and especially commuters don't even know what Sister Eileen looks like. Yes, Sister Eileen Currie is the president of Cabrini College. Currie is definitely the leader of the college, but few faculty members and students feel it. More often than not, she is just the yes or no vote on every issue, problem, and proposal at Cabrini. Very few students get the chance to interact with her and those who do are hand picked, by her, for special jobs and committees. Currie moved into the Mansion this year, supposedly to be more visible, yet now it seems she is seen even less. Residents and students who live and work there hardly, if ever, see her. So just imagine those students who live elsewhere? The main reason for her low visibility is most likely the fact that she has overextended herself. As of this year, she now is not only the president but also in charge of the Master Planning Committee, construction on campus, . the Capital Campaign, as well as personnel issues. Currie has undertaken quite a lot. She is very growth oriented, especially with plans for a new dormitory, new science building, new athletic field and expanded parking lot. She has started the first Capital Campaign and it is a big one - she plans to raise $10 million. This alone will be changing her life for the next five years while also contributing to the growth and advancement of Cabrini. We recognize the fact that she needs to be on the road a lot doing some fund raising for the Capital Campaign but it is just as important that she interacts with the students of Cabrini. As of right now, Cabrini seems to have invisible leadership which is not really leadership at all. If Currie would only be more accessible, more visible, and less remote, maybe all of Cabrini would know who their president is and could actually say that they know her personally. All in all, it's not that Currie is a bad president. In fact, she is a rather good one, who has some flaws, but still can be better. In other words - she's human.

Importanceof livinglife for the momentis realized stop for awhile to "enjoy" that time, then go, go, go until I reached another "high point" in my life.

denise civa It never really occurred to me what I had been doing all these years untill read in class Anna Quindlen's Nov. 10, 1988 "Life in the '30s" column from The New York Times. The topic of this particular story, was living your life now and not waiting for something miraculous to occur, because whether you realize it or not, your life is happening now with or without you. It was a very emotional, eye-opening article to me. When I finished reading it, I felt shocked and upset. It never really hit me that twenty years of my life, have passed already and I really haven't done anything of major importance with them. I don't feel like I've accomplished half of what I thought I would when I was two decades old. Quindlen is such an exceptional writer that every point she made in her article really came through loud and clear to me. You can always understand what she's trying to say and usually it's pretty easy to apply it to yourself . Quindlen, as usual, used examples from her own life to illustrate the many important points she made in her column, but when I read the article, I found that I could just as easily substitute examples from my own life. For me, Iife has been as ystematicstop and go process. By this I mean, that I seem to be·constantly looking forward and living for a specific moment in time - whether it was the day after an exam, Christmas vacation, a meeting with a friend, or even the weekend. I would go, go,go, until that time came,

~ii

I know that this really isn't any way to live, but I can't seem to help myself. I have to work on getting rid of my "living for Friday" mentality and concentrate on things that are happening now in my life. I can't keep constantly putting my life on hold, waiting to be happy only when a certain moment arrives. I realize not only does this not allow me to be happy along the road to this moment in time, but I find that when these long awaited times come, I either can't automatically switch on these happy feelings that I expected to feel, or the whole moment I had been waiting for for so long, was in reality nothing special or exciting. For example there was my big school trip to Canada a few years ago. I had waited forthat trip for what seemed a lifetime, but when it came~Jt.was nothing like what I expected. I thought it would be constantly sunny, enormously fun, and that I would come back with two French-Canadians under each ann. Instead, it rained tremendously, I had a fight with two of my close friends which lasted practically the whole trip, and the bus ride home left me on the verge of illness. Why don't things ever work out like you thought they would? I wish I had the answers to all my questions, but more than that, I wish I could finish this viewpoint and get on to somethi~g else. See what I mean about always having something to look forward to? Oh well, maybe now that I understand Anna Quindlen's article, I can try to avoid my living for tomorrow attitude and start living and enjoying for today, - or maybe I'll wait until tomorrow!

I would really like to compliment Bob Bonner on his article concerning Cabrini's chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous. Having a father who was an alcoholic before his death in 1987, I know the daily torture an alcoholic and his family go. through in .their battle against the addiction. Before my father's death he realized that he had a problem, and through the security and help of his AA group, the rest of my family, along with other branches, such as Ala-Teen and Ala-Non, he became known as a "dry" alcoholic. These groups really helped my family and I with their "homelike" atmosphere as Bob mentioned in his article. I think that the article was well written. It is very important for people to know that there is help out there for anyone who needs it. An anonymous former Ala-Teen member

Student lends advice to the new president by Carlo Iacono Whether we like it or not, we now know the next president of the United States. George Bush wiJI be the leaderof our country during the most important years of our lives. It was rather puzzling that out of the hundreds who were qualified to run for the highest office in the land, our two-party system chose two individuals who could never stir the emotions of the masses. Don't get me wrong; both individuals could have been rather charming and high Iy qualified, but we never could have guessed that from the negative campaign. Both were survivors rather than leaders of their respected political parties. This campaign from the start has been a battle of lesser evils. The American political psyche is so downgraded that it has determined that whoever messes up less is our man. Both men were terribly vague on the issues because they didn't want to offend any key swing voter groups. This vagueness

created a huge loss for voters and democracy itself. If the highest office in the land isn't clear and objective, how can the rest of the country be? But I don't blame both men for their cloudy campaigns. They are just a product of. a lazy America that doesn't care about its politics. Political consciousness died with the Kennedy brothers. I cast my vote for Mike Dukakis because, well, basically, he was the lesser of both evils for me. My high support for him dwindled from the summer because ifhe was naive enough to think that America would listen to his positions and ignore his cold, tactical manner, then he doesn't deserve to win a sad election of negative commercials and video news snippets. Position papers don't fit into 30-second sound bites. George Bush, excuse me, the Republican Party, invented and perfected that game. I still feel the election could have gone either way. But the outdated electoral college system appeared to have been in George Bush's favor. Video politics has

shrunk the political minds of what I consider the already politically ignorant masses. The majority of the small number that actually voted walked into the voting booth remembering George Bush draped in an American flag and starting his campaign by shaking Mickey Mouse's hand at Disney land. These images, beat the ones of Mike Dukakis playing soldier in a tank and giving weekend furloughs to criminals like Wille Horton. Tell me which one looked more ridiculous. The following are my humble suggestions for the executive team of George Bush and Dan Quayle. They are suggested for my sanity, and because I still have a dream of an America as strong as the one my grandfather lived in.

ate will remain silent if you do things that are incompetent or idiotic. To deter such a dreaded situation, I suggest receiving a brain transfusion of your 1980 presidential-campaign rhetoric (remember voodoo economics), burst out your closet socialism (it is in there somewhere), and keep peace and strength. J. Danforth Quayle, as your vice-president, poses a great concern for many Americans. If you so much as get a strong cough, many will head for the borders in anxiety - so I deeply suggest a strong cabinet. And remember to conduct your job in the upmost honesty because you're only the most powerful man in the free world. Sincerely,

Dear George Bush, Congratulations on your win. Upon your election, you requested trust from the percentage who did not cast a vote for George Bush. Right now you have my trust. But don't feel that the non-partisan elector-

Plight of homeless spurs MotherUrsularequests guilty feelings 1n student sponsorsfor children I

by Jacqui McClernan

I am walking to the bank on my lunch hour and I begin to walk faster. The feeling of guilt is annoying and chilling. Why the bank, how ironic? On 16th Street between JFK Boulevard and Market Street, I am stopped. The woman is old for her years, cruddy, tormented. She scolds a young child to stay back, and holds another. "Spare some change?" Hundreds of people pass and none stop, including myself. I suppose it was the children that moved me to write this, for I have encountered begging like this for six months now. Maybe Ijust lived a sheltered life and thought that these things were just on the news, however, they are not. I am asked for money at least once a day if not more. It began in June. I started an internship in Center City. I had always heard that it is an experience to help in your maturity process. I matured, but I am not so sure if it was positive or negative. The first time someone asked me for money in Suburban Station I was shocked and numb. My first thought-people really do this? The homeless beg as people come up from the train platform. One day, I went in a different entrance and in a long tunnel I saw a man with a dog, a sign

explaining his plight and a can for money. He was blind and in a wheelchair. According to his sign, he was an innocent victim of the Vietnam War. My heart bled. I continued walking, faster. I have become coldly immune to these people. I am bothered by the guilt for not throwing a buck in the can. However, if I were to throw a buck every time I felt guilty, would I be a sucker? I am scared I have become cold and unbothered. I cannot look at these people when they look up at me, begging. I walk faster. I look at the young boy Trevor who helps the homeless. He is wonderful. I am not. My problem lies with who needs help, who could get help, and who are freeloaders. My heart wants me to be nice to everyone but my conscience keeps rationalizing. Who honestly needs a few dollars and who doesn't? I am not trained to see that and therefore retaliate by being ignorant to the situation. I wrote this because I noticed what is going on and many people don't because no one begs at the Radnor and Wayne train stations. I am tom and bothered over the situation but am I helpless? Probably not. But for now I continue to walk faster, and faster, avoiding the problem, rationalizing and feeling guilt.

Capitalcampaign

Majorfund-raisingdrive_ underway by Jenni Obrecht Building on an existing base is how Sr. Eileen Currie, M.S.C., president, describes ..An Investment in Visions and Values," Cabrini's first comprehensive capital campaign. "The campaign, currently in the process of soliciting leadership gifts, has received pledges totalling $919,000 and is moving along well," said Nancy Gorevin Costello, director of the comprehensive campaign. Costello said that while May 6, 1989 is the anticipated date for the campaign to go public, it is difficult to adhere to a strict timeline during the quiet phase because potential donors need time to consult with financial advisors. At this time, she said campaign committee members will be able to determine a working goal, based on the money raised during this phase. In reference to the campaign schedule, Currie said she believes that accomplishments, not deadlines are the goal. · "There is a lot of organizational structuring going on behind the scenes even though there does not appear to be much change from this time last year," Sr. Eileen Currie, M.S.C., president, said as she pointed to a large folder of campaign notes on her desk. ·•some realignment of internal organizations has occurred. especially with the public relations and development offices."

broaden the base of support for the college both financially and from a public relations standpoint. "It has been said that any capital campaign is really a PR effort," Kolodzinski said . Costello said certain events have been designed to increase awareness and understanding of Cabrini among alumni, students, parents and community members. "By inviting new friends to the campus we are letting them know Cabrini is here and doing a good job," she said. Cabrini on the Road is a new program involving alumni and parents, Costello said. Currie-said that the Oct. 23 outing to the Lancaster home of Ann McCambridge Altimare, class of 1971 and the Nov. 13 trip to Connecticut provided her with an opportunity to update people on the changes at the college, like curriculum and construction, in a personal way. However, Currie stressed that already existing events, such as Student Government's Haunted House and the Expressions Art Show, have been elaborated on to continue building a good relationship with Cabrini's neighbors. Community members were invited to a reception following the Haunted House and also to attend dessert with artists participating in Expressions. Kolodzinski said alumni John Doyle and Steve Highsmith have shot footage and are putting the finishing touches on a campaign video to be shown to potential donors. However, one problem facing the campaign, Currie said, is the overall lack of prior campaign experience on the part of those involved. Questions have been raised on campus concerning the absence of a vice president for institutional advancement. While Currie believes it would be best to have a vice president for institutional advancement, she said the campaign has gotten off to a good start with the help of the PFG Endowment Corporation of State College, Pa. Currie said that while prior campaign experience was not a prerequisite in hiring a vice president for institutional advancement five years ago, she would not seriously consider hiring someone in the future who had never worked on a campaign.

friday, dee. 2, 1988 Review

U2's latestis more than just an album by Stephanie Hornyak U2's new album,"Rattle and Hum," is a 17-track album complete with live and studio recordings. This is the seventh album for U2. "Rattle and Hum" is more than an album, though. As the writer, Bono sends fonh a message about the things that matter to him and to the group. He is the consci~nce of people everywhere. "Rattle and Hum" is a political album opposing apartheid, televangelism, and factors of American society, as well as support for the Beatles,Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King Jr., and Bishop Tutu. The album opens with Bono saying, "Here's a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles. We 're stealing it back." U2 goes into a live performance of"Helter Skelter." This is a heated song played not only in dedication of the Beatles, but in protest of Charles Manson. "Van Diemans Land" is a studio recording. Dedicated to the poet, John Boyle O'Reilly, this is a folk song. It is mellow and seems out of place, but as the album continues, it fits in nicely. "Desire" is the first single released from this album. From the first to the last note, "Desire" moves and rocks combining rock'n'roll with the blues, complete with an old South ending. "Hawkmoon 269" only has to be listened to once to really love it. It is a lustful,jungle rhythm, and once you listen to it. it will become a favorite.

"Rattle and Hum" includes some Jive versions of already recorded songs as well. "Pride (In the Name of Love)," appeared first on the Unforgettable Fire. This time it is dedicated to the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. "Bullet the Blue Sky," released on the Joshua Tree, is also a live recording, protesting the downside of American society. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was also recorded first on the Joshua Tree. Bono had intended for this to be a gospel song. The New Voices of Freedom, a gospel group, recorded a version of this song, and then U2 was brought together with them for a live recording in Madison Square Garden. The album includes some Elvis-sounding songs such as "Angel Of Harlem," "Love Rescue Me," and "All I Want Is You." "Angel Of Harlem" and "Love Rescue Me" were both recorded at the Sun Studios in Memphis where the legendary first Elvis songs were recorded. "When Love Comes To Town" is a rough-edged song fol!9.wed two songs later by "God Part II," a vengeful song with a message of love. "Heanland" is a moving and classic sounding U2 song, with passionate lyrics. "Silver and Gold" is an angry song written against apanheid, and "All Along The Watch Tower'' is a tribute to Bob Dylan, telling this generation that what Bob Dylan said in the '60s applies in the '80s.

Graduates dreams and goals have the Cabrini touch

Prestige and honor is bestowed by peers by Lee Mirenda

Editor's note: The following is a speech prepared by Michael Edmondson, the 1988 recipient of the Mother Ursula Award. He was to give this address at the graduation ceremony of the class of 1988. Due to rain, the ceremony was shortened and Mike was unable to give his speech. The Loquitur staff would like to congratulate Mike and give him a bit of the recognition that he deserves.

by Michael Edmondson I would like to welcome the Honorable Representative Mr. Flick, members of the board of trustees, Sister President, faculty, administration and staff. my fellow classmates. family and friends. It is quite an honor to stand before you today and receive this award. None of us would be here. however, if it were not for the efforts of a small group of individuals. In the words of Winston Churchill, during the air raid of London in World War II: "Never have so many owed so much to so few." The few I refer to are the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. A group of women who have as their foundress Mother Francis Xavier Cabrini. A woman who had real dreams, real feelings. and made a real contribution to society. Thirty years ago. the Sisters decided to open a college and name it after their foundress. Today, the gates of Cabrini College remain open and the Sister responsible for the opening of those gates 30 years ago is Mother Ursula Infante. Unfortunately, Mother Ursula was needed elsewhere today. At a brisk 91 years of age, she has been a living model for all students to seek the quality exemplified by the life of Mother Cabrini. I need not go into the chronology of accomplishments over the last 30 years in Cabrini's history. Feel free to walk around the 110 rolling acres and see the developments that have occurred overt he years. (But not now, wait until I am finished.) -· Instead, I would like to take this opportunity to do two things: one is to tell you what being part of the Cabrini family over the past four years has been about; the other is to thank our parents and loved ones who have supported us over the years. Being part of the Cabrini family means more than having a beautiful campus, with its 110 rolling acres. to walk around on. It means to be a "real" person. When one looks inside past the beautiful landscape and architecture, they see the Missionary Sisters and the dedicated men and women who have helped foster the growth of students. The graduating class of 1988, is the result of the loving labor of these people in the true spirit of Mother Cabrini. Being part of the Cabrini family means more than being a student, one is a Cabrini student. We are real people with real dreams, real feelings, and real contributions to make to society. What the Missionary Sisters and staff have accomplished here at Cabrini is to create an environment to foster the growth of those --real .. qualities. Our dreams and goals have the Cabrini touch, a touch of gentle, loving concern. hope and faith. We know we will be successful because of Cabrini. Over the past four years, my classmates and I witnessed many changes here at Cabrini. some more beneficial than others. But we have been more than just witnesses, we participated in some of the changes. Throughout Cabrini we have developed more than ju\t physically, but also emotionally, intellectually. and spiritually. Together, we have been successful, and accomplished more

It is the most prestigious award a Cabrini senior can receive. It honors the senior who has best fulfilled the ideals of Cabrini College through academic achievement, leadership. and participation in·extracurricular activities. It has been coined by one person to be the "unsung hero" award. It is the Mother Ursula Alumni Award. Mother Ursula Infante finished her term as the first president of Cabrini College in 1967. Hertime in office was marked by respect, reverence, and admiration. In 1968 the Alumni Association wanted to honor the first president. Mother Ursula said, ..The) (the Alumni Association) knew what I stood for and they wanted 10 perpetuate tha1.·· As a result, the Mother Ursula Alumni Award was born and its first recipient was Michele Rusinyak. Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs, said the recipient is chosen strictly by peers. According to Dale, seniors place their nomination with the Alumni Affairs office when they RSVP the Senior Dinner. The Alumni Affairs office tabulates the top four or five nominations, then the seniors vote for their choice at the Senior Dinner where the winner is announced. At commencement the president of the alumni association presents the award to the recipient who then addresses the audience.t "It's arl award people do revere," Nancy Costello, president of the alumni association, said. Costello said that due to the immense respect people have for Mother Ursula, seniors give a great deal of thought into their choice for the recipient. Dale said, "It doesn't appear to be a popularity contest, it is awarded to someone who cares about their fellow man." Mother Ursula is satisfied with the seniors' choices through the years. ·'It is fitting that peers select the recipient," Mother Ursula said, "Peers form good judges because they see each other in and out of classroom."

than we could have ever dreamed. As the class of 1988, we have had a great deal of fun over the years. Hopefully, we even learned at least one thing in the classroom. But we have also learned from the Missionary Sisters, their staff and each other. For some, we have learned to listen more, or maybe care a little more. For others, we have taught each other to enjoy life more, and some ofus have even learned to act more seriously toward life's precious moments. There are, however, those who have taught each other to love, and this is what the Cabrini family is all about. When we started our journey through Cabrini we left one family and joined another. Now, after years of ups and downs as in any family, we must leave our home we called Cabrini. We must now return to that family that started us off years ago. Just as Mother Cabrini _provided a foundation for the Missionary Sisters, so too have our families done the same for us. We need to be thankful to Mother Cabrini for setting an example of service and love, for this family may never have been born. This event, is a way to say thank you to those people who have been by our side, through the good times as well as the bad times. The graduating class of 1988, through this commencement, says thank you for the financial support, but more importantly, for all the spiritual support that has been provided to us over the years by our parents, grandparents, relatives, spouses, and friends. Since this is a day for thanksgiving, I would like to personally thank my foundation, my mother and father, for allowing me the opportunity to experience what being part of a family is all about. For the rest of my family and my best friend gathered here, thank you for your guidance and support when I needed you. For the Missionary Sisters and Mother Ursula for providing a true example of what living life and experiencing love is all about.

U.S. citizensplaced in internmentcamps by Johanna Church Sumiko Kobayashi had just finished high school and was preparing to enter the University of California at Berkeley, when her life changed drastically. The time was World War II, and Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. On Feb. 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which caused the drastic change in Kobayashi's life, and that of many other JapaneseAmericans. Kobayashi, her family and thousands of other JapaneseAmerican citizens were herded into internment camps. On Monday, Nov. 21, in a social work class taught by Margo Bare, instructor, Kobayashi brought her insight and experience to a discussion on early Japanese immigration, the Americans' hostility to American-Asians during World War II and the redress effort 40 years later. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, rumors circulated about the loyalty of Japanese-Americans, and Kobayashi's family feared what was going to happen next. Executive Order 9066 gave the U.S. Army the authority to designate military areas from where all Japanese-Americans had to be evacuated. Later in March 1942, Congress passed an order stating that violations of E.O. 9066 or any order from a military commander was a criminal offense, punishable by fine or imprisonment or both. Soon after, Kobayashi and her family were sent to Tanforan Assembly Center, an old race track converted to accommodate its incoming internees. The change was not a slow and gradual one. These American citizens were given as little as one day's notice to evacuate their residences. Personal belongings were allowed, but only what each could carry with two hands. Many homes, businesses. furniture and other valuable belongings were lost. Kobayashi's sorrow was for her dog

of eight years, who was left in the care of another family, and later ran away. Four montlis passed at the Assembly Center, and Kobayashi's family was packed up and again moved to a desert camp in Utah. Another great loss in that ordeal was that family life and closeness were gone. Each family was sleeping in one room and eating in community mess halls. '·Jn other words, no privacy," Kobayashi said. The internees had opportunity to make anywhere from S 12 to $19 a month, by assisting in running an intern camp. Allowances of $3.75 per person were given each month for clothing. The government then felt that it was time to encourage relocation, not out of compassion, but out of fear that the internees would lose the ability to be independent, and would have to be permanent wards of the government. Kobayashi left Utah, and began her college education in Northern New Jersey. Later, her parents moved to the Philadelphia area. In 1983, 40 years later, Kobayashi began the fight, to redress the grievances of Japanese-Americans, by becoming coordinator for the effort for the Pennsylvania and Delaware chapters of the Japanese American Citizens League. Kobayashi mentioned that the main idea was to get an

apology and just have people realize it was a great wrong, and to get compensation to underscore the apology. The United States government has formally apologized and has set up a trust fund, allowing $20.000 to each surviving Japanese- American who was interned. An Office of Redress has been set up, and the first checks are to go out in the summer of 1989, after the money has been appropriated. On Sept. 22, 1988, Kobayashi was appointed to the Pennsylvania Heritage Affairs Commission, which is a program that "works with units of government and private, non-profit organizations which seek to preserve or promote some aspect of their local cultural heritage." Bare's social work class was given a dynamic lecture illustrated with approximately 20 pictures of actual internment camps and two brief video tapes. Kobayashi was well received by the social work students, who Bare said "were genuinely interested in what she had to say, since it has not been a big part of people's history lessons." Bare discovered Kobayashi trough Grace Uyehara, also of the redress effort. Kobayashi is not as optimistic about the redress money coming as soon as it is expected, but will keep fighting for what she believes was a mistake made by America to Americans.

Combsfrom 1 Editors,_,

This is a Cop\/ of a letter sent lo former Voice

Presidenf of lnstttutional Advancement, Bill Battles, from fonner chairpe<soo of the Board ol Trustees, William Combs,explaining

Combs'reasonsfor resigning.

Dear Bill. As you know, I am deeply concerned about el'ents that rook place this past summer at Cabrini College. To set the record straight, I had no alternative other than to resign as chairman and trustee because of major decisions being made be Sister Eileen, without consultation with Board of Trustees, that sei·erely impounded on the future of the institution. I know howdevastatedyoumust be because of your sudden dismissal from Cabrini and I feel obligated to recogni:e your outstanding accomplishments as l'ice president of Cabrini College. When I submiued your name as a candidate for the open position to the Search committee in 1986, it was based upon your strong management background at Bell of Pennsylvania and thirty years of important volunteer activity for the University of Vermont. Obviously, the Search committee was impressed as you were selected among the many candidates. Your two plus years at Cabrini were most productive. Thefirst year was devoted to creating an Institutional Advancement team that had a grasp of and a commitment to the Master Plan of the college. You instilled a strong positive spirit in your team so that Alumni Relations, Development and Public Relations could direct all their attention to promoting the image of the institution. The second year was one of continued accomplishment. Your feasibility study was completed and the Board gave the go ahead for a Comprehensive Capital Fund Raising Campaign. During the same period, because of your decision to use consultative help, certification was receivedfor CO-OP Education along with a five year grant for $474,000. Act 101 assistance from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was also received. Being the thirtieth anniversary year of the school, a wonde1ful celebration week was put together primarily by your Public Relations director and highlighting many cultural, academic and social functions. 1 was particularly

impressed by the Antiq.ue/Classic Car show held on the campus. The improved cooperation by al/was obvious. I didn'tfollow alumni relations as much as fund raising and student affairs, but I do know that the Alumni Director had another fine year including increased fund raising and most important the percentage of participation. I've also observed and know from events at Quarry Hill Farm that student spirit has never been better for which 1 give you considerable credit. I was most encouraged by the new people you were introducing to the school and the progress you were making with foundation representatives. Special progress orfirst time successes were realized with the W.W. Smith Fund, the Campbell Soup Fund, the LaffeyMcHugh Foundation and the Arcadia Fund. Just getting the Dorrance family to have theirfamily reunion at the Manor House, their old family home, was a real coup. Working with the outside consultants, you were making tremendous progress with our $10,000,000 capital plan. The substantial donations and pledges you had already received almost guaranteed the success of the campaign. While all this was going on, you were the main school contact with the architect, the local government, the some what hostile neighbors and contractors. Construction is well underway and the college is surely indebted to you Jor your tireless and effective efforts especiallywith the zoning authorities and reluctant neighbors. The '87- '88 year was a record for external fund raising, which I think was a remarkable achievement in such a short period of time. Your total dedication to the institution, your attendance at every function, night or day, and your personal interest in the students, the faculty, the staff, the parents and alumni will be sorely missed. Cabrini is certainly much better off for your having been there. Sincerely, W. H. Combs ,

Registration

Seniors bid farewellto selectingcourses by Leonora Veterano On Tuesday. Nov. 8, the Cabrini tradition continued as the senior class registered for the 1988-89 spring semester. But for the senior class this is a time when registration is the final step to the enviable day of graduation. Not only do they not have to deal with the long lines any more at this time, but the chances of getting cut out of a class are almost null and void. According to second-semester senior Brian Butler, "In my past years here at Cabrini, I have experienced trouble with registration in getting closed out of classes and such, but forthe first time things have gone smoothly." But Butler also feels the reason for this is because he is a second semester senior. But for some of the seniors the problem does not always lie with the long lines, or getting closed out of a class. One senior felt there is definite room for improvement when it comes to registration. For example, EdwardJoseph(E.J.)Hartman felt that the courses which Cabrini offers are all right if you are going for the ones you have to take because it is for your major, but if you want lo take them for pure interest alone, then Cabrini

fails in that department. Most of the senior class during this time sign up for their classes because of requirements in order to graduate in the spring. "I picked some of my classes because they were required for my major and others such as electives because they interest me," senior Douglas Jobson said. But Jobson has a few concerns of his own. "Not only do I have some tough courses to attack during this last semester such as historiography, but all of this could have been avoided if only some of the really important courses like this one were not offered bi-yearly." Not only do the seniors have their negative attitudes towards registration but the registrar's office has a few opinions of their own to contribute. "I really do not like the way pre-registration is handeled here at Cabrini, not only is the computer system here not up to par, but the labor during this time is just too intensive," Jennifer Hansbury, registrar, said.

Other

than these two problems, Hansbury feels fine

because the seniors help make registration easy due to the fact that they have been through it before. Hansbury also cites that the class which goes through the most problems during registration is the freshmen class. "The freshmen definitely get the worst of it, because they are the last ones to register." Besides all of the negative problems that have been voiced, there are some positive sides to the whole affair. Senior Grace Leuzzi said, "I like the fact that the senior class gets first pick." Kathy Smith, senior, also feels comfortable with the students registering in alphabetical order, "It makes the process less complicated." But Hansbury feels that one of the biggest assets at the office is definitely Maryann Mirra, who also works at the registrar's office. ''Her channing personality makes the whole experience easier for the students," Hansbury said. "It takes a lot of time and effort to make sure that everything is done right and Mrs. Mirra displays this in her work."

ClervAct '

Campusopenseyes to crimerate By Karen Shank

According to Clery, many schools spend only five-tenths of I percent of their operating budgets on security. More is spent on a varsity sport. This figure is ridiculously low, according to Clery, when campus crime rates are 3 to 5 percent higher than national crime rates, and last year there were close to 6,000 rapes, 13,000 aggravated assaults, and 3,300 drug arrests on college campuses. "We have been lucky. but we're not gloating," Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, said of crime rates at Cabrini. "We plan to be pro-active in beefing up security and making sure policies and procedures are clear." Gardner said that during the last two open houses parents have asked specific questions pertaining to the Clery Act. "The Clerys have made the public more aware thatthey need to ask," Gardner said. According to Gardner, priorto the recent publicizing of campus crime incidents around the state, people often assumed by the nature of our campus that it was safe. "We want to make sure students realize it's not a sanctuary,"Gardnersaid. "It's really upto the students to make sure all this

It is never easy to find good in bad, or to turn a tragedy into triumph. It becomes even more difficult to do so when the tragedy affects someone close to you, your family, or yourself. On April 6, 1986, a young woman was raped and murdered in her dormitory room at Lehigh University. Jeanne Anne Clery was the victim of the brutal crime. Another student, then sophomore Josoph Henry, was later convicted of the slaying and sentenced to death in the electric chair. The victim ·s parents, Howard and Connie Clery. have since worked with state Rep. Richard McClatchy Jr. to propose a bill that would help to protect other students from crime. "Wedo it in memory of Jeanne," Howard Clery said. "It helps us think her terrible death was not in vain." On Nov. 26, 1988, the College and University Security Information Act went into effect. Through the implementation of this law, also known as the Clery Act, colleges and universities are required to inform incoming students of crime statistics upon request. Howard Clery said he is hoping students will elect not to attend schools with high crime rates, which will in turn force these schools to spend more money on security. Clery feels the law will "lift the curtain of silence."

sibility for their safety. The law does not actually demand that colleges and universities change any policies, but instead says all security policies and procedures must be provided to every person who submits an application for admission, to every new employee, and annually to all students and employees. This information will include: the number of students enrolled, the number of residents, the number of non-student employees on campus, information on security personnel, the office responsible for security campus, the enforcement authority of security personnel, the policy on reporting criminal incidents to state and local police, the policy regarding access to institutional facilities and programs by

students,

employees,

guests and other individuals, the policies regarding alcohol and drug possession use and sale, the policy regarding possession and use of weapons by security personnel and any other person, the policy regarding students or employees with criminal records, security considerations used in the maintenance

works."

Dean of Students, Robert Bonfiglio, feels the law will make the campus safer by heightening the interest in security on campus. He agreed that students have a respon-

Because Cabrini maintains student housing, it must also include information on the types of student housing available, policies on housing assignments and requests by students for assignment changes, policies concerning admission of visitors to student housing facilities, features used to secure doors and windows in students rooms, descriptions of the type and number of employees, including security personnel, assigned to the student housing, the type and frequency of programs designed to inform student housing residents about housing security and enforcement procedures, policy for housing students during low-occupancy periods such as holidays and vacations, and policy on the housing of guests and others not assigned to the student housing or not regularly associated with the institution. This information should be in students' mailboxes beforeChristmas break. Crime statistics and rates for the most recent three-year period wi II be available upon request to applicants and to all new employees. Every college and university is also required to report crime statistics to the Pennsylvania state police on an annual basis. Dan Neyer, director of security, is responsible for compiling and submitting this information. According to the information Neyer will be providing to the state

offenses. According to Neyer. the increase in number is due to dorm theft records being more completely kept. Five assaults, four burglaries, 32 thefts, one arson offense, 16 drug abuse violations, and five other offenses (except traffic). are included in the total. Clery said he and his wife were satisfied with the final law. He said it is a landmark and 17 other states are now looking at it. Clery said the law will now force the administration to make students aware of campus crime status where previously there has existed lying and distortion.

Mercedes Raffle

Cocktail party toasted as a success by Kelly Ann McGillan Anticipation grew in the mansion as Villanova basketball coach, Rollie Massimino, reached into the raffle ticket cylinder to draw the winner's name of the 1988 Mercedes 190 E Sedan. After pausing for a moment while reading the name to himself, Massimino handed the winning ticket to John Dzik, athletic director, and said, ·'Well, it's not you!" With a smile Dzik read the name aloud, ·'The winner is Patrick Holness." Holness was later announced as a member of the physical plant staff on campus. It was also revealed later that Holness had purchased the share with another member of the physical plant, Al Granese. The mansion was full of excited shareholders and guests on Nov. 20. For Cabrini, this was the first time the Mercedes drawing took place during a cocktail party a month later and not immediately following the five-· mile run. The idea was Joanne Balshi 's, a member of the athletic advisory board, and with the help of Angela Zager, a member of the president's advisory committee, organized the evening. The main objective was to raise money for the athletic program. Balshi estimated that about $20,000 would be raised, but that figure was changing because 23 tickets were purchased at the door. Sponsors were: Keenan Motors, which provided the car: Snelling & Snelling Personal Services; Institute for Facial Esthetics; Genuardi's Supermarkets, and National Risk Management. All donated money to put on the evening. "What the money raised will be used for, hasn't been decided yet, probably for capital projects," said Jim Fitzsimmons, former dean of students and current member of the athletic advisory board. The athletic advisory board raises the money, but the college decides where the money is most needed. Last year, the money r~ised enabled the college to widen the athletic field, buy more equipment and new goal cages. Guests were greeted by valet parking and, once inside, by a string quartet playing selections from the baroque and classical periods. A buffet, an open bar and various hors d'oeuvres, were also served. Diane Kolodzinski, director of public relations, said, "This evening is important for the capital campaign. We are expanding our base of friends and contributors of the college." She also added that she saw many new faces and said, "This cocktail party is great for developing these new relationships for the college." Kolodzinski also said that it's great having Massimino attend as well, not only because he coaches at neighboring Villanova, but because he understands the college's attempt to expand athletically. There were many familiar faces in attendance as well. Fitzsimmons, who was last year's winner, was hoping for a repeat. Dean of Students Bob Bonfiglio, joked that he didn't purchase a share because of what happened last year. Other guests included: alumni, faculty and parents of current students. Several students attended in place of their parents who were unable to attend. Before the drawing, Sr. Eileen Currie, president, welcomed all of Cabrini's new friends and thanked the athletic advisory board. Dzik then introduced Massimino by saying that this was the first time they had
