EDITORIAL Devil's playground

When strolling about campus at any given time, it is not unlikely that you would hear from a student, resident or commuter, 'This place is beat on the weekends."

The Campus Activities Programming Boatd is the segment of the Student Government Agency responsible for attempting to pacify these unruly scholars. The current $25,000 budget, however, has their hands tied to the point that the stench of anarchy is slowly but surely filling every hallway, quad and classroom. This situation demands a remedy.

Right now the SGA receives $25 of a $500 general fee that is attached to each student's tuition. What they are demanding is a 100 percent increase. A $50,<XX>budget will allow SGA to double the amount of funding allocated to the CAP Board

The assumption is that the board would be able to produce quality, big name entertainers and events to get the respective goats of the college community.

Why is it important to deal with this situation now?

Besides tending to the needs of those students currently attending Cabrini, the college has taken a more aggressive position on expanding its exclusively regional appeal to include states up and down the F.ast Coast.

What then? There will be people here who live so far away that going home frequently will not be an option. Why lure J>e(r pie to the school and then bore them to death?

To cultivate that type of situation will have nothing but negative repercussions. For instance, with nothing to do on the weekends, you are prodding people, or daring them in a sense, to party with alcohol or recreate in some other way that would almost certainly be frowned upon by departments of the college such as resident life or public safety.

If you think about it, asking for one-tenth of a "general fee" to go towards student government really is not all that much.

So go ahead, give it up.
