Remember when you go to the zoo; do not feed the animals, do not throw objects at the animals, tap on the glass or play radios. Do not stand on, climb or jump any barriers and above all, do not smoke. The Zoo police will kick you out if you do any of these things.

ADOPT: Animals Depend On People Too

You can adopt an animal for yourself, friend or loved one by calling the ADOPT hotline at 215-ADOPT-ME.

Editorial

Teachers, students, coun..selors, we're all expendable

In 1993, an overwhelming majority of faculty members ·at Cabrini had tenure. The Board of Trustees was alarmed by this and capped the number of tenured faculty at 70 percent. Also, a motion was passed that put into place several conditions for recently hired teachers regarding their future prospects for tenure. The system wasn't perfect, but most seemed fairly content with it.

One of the conditions in the Faculty Handbook was that candidates approved by the Board of Trustees for tenure would receive it by the end of their seventh year. And if 70 percent of the faculty was already tenured, the others would be put on a waiting list until a spot opened. Well, seven years later there are many deserving teachers who are awaiting their just dues.

But guess what? As so often happens, they are going to have to fight for what had been promised to them by the administration. Those who are in control seem to have some fear of anybody outside of the mansion having any power in our school. By granting teachers tenure, they would have one less set of puppets to pull by the strings.

Tenure for teachers is the equivalent of job security. The incentives are nice, but the key is that tenure gives our teachers the security to know that they can teach with confidence and not have to worry where they will be teaching next year. After seven years of service, they shouldn't have to.

All they are asking for is a sort of grandfather clause whereby the system established in 1994 will be honored for the teachers hired in 1994. And no, they will not go on strike to protest this injustice, because, as one long term faculty member stated, 'That is not the Cabrini way."

However, many teachers have been rumored to be sending out resumes. After first losing their offices and now fighting for tenure, who could blame them? We the students know that we are expendable, but it surprises us that our teachers are, too.

One is left only to wonder what, if anything, "The Cabrini Way" stands for anymore.

I think that it's time we, the student body, took the opportunity to offer a casual "thank you" to the faculty of Cabrini College. Through all of the recent administrative tfilffioil, the teachers have been behind us 100 percent. They have sympathized with Oil problems and taken our concerns to heart. If only all the parties involved could have been so open. Many students have said that they have thought of transferring but stay here because they value Cabrini's scholastic programs and

Certainly not at Penn State or Pitt. Would they even recognize you there? Our faculty is real. They are accessible and they truly care about educating us.

I never thought that the most difficult obstacle of college for me would be trying to get housing, or the rampant tuition hikes. Instead, I imagined a world of cold, stern professors and non-stop cramming for tests. I saw myself in a hall crowded with 600 people and a professor who only acknowledged me when he took role. Instead, I find myself in Founder's Hall everyday and I feel that my voice matters.

I came to Cabrini because I wanted to be treated like an individual. But the faculty here has surpassed even my most hopeful expectations. They understand us. They want to understand us.

I know I could go on and on here, and I don't want to tum a quick "thank you" into a cumbersome essay. To all of you professors who continue to make the differences in our lives, thank you. You know who you are, and we know too.

In closing, let us remember that Cabrini's most prized and precious asset is not the Dixon Center or the new communications building. It is the people who teach here. I hope that as we continue to grow as an institution, Oil wonderful faculty does not get swallowed up. They are why students come here. They are why students stay.

Chris Vesci is the copy editor of Loquitur. He's really glad that at least the teachers will sit with him in the cafeteria.
