lenging, but rewarding."

Kim Tart, a junior and special education major, says the college makes a smart move allowing students to start fieldwork so early.

"The new experience is different, but to start early in the field gives you more time to get a taste of wha grade you like (to teach)."

Tart is the president of Sigma Rho, the Cabrini chapter of Kappa Delta Phi, which is the National Honor Society of Education. A student needs a 3.5 GPA in his educational classes and a 3.0 in all othe classes to be in Sigma Rho.

Allison Hart, a senior, is a member of Sigma Rho and commented on the different activities and community service that one could take part in alongside the field experience. She said they donate money t St. Donato's in Philadelphia, and to a school in Mexico that campus ministry is involved with throug border experience. They also have ajacket/sweatshi sale corning up, and recently they held a car wash t raise money.

Nicole Rosini, a junior, is the historian of Studen Pennsylvania State Education Association, a national organization that promotes education majors involvement with teaching. Rosini is in charge of public relations for the Council of Exceptional Children, Cabrini chapter of the national organization. CEC is an organization to help those with learning disabilities. Members of CEC plan to do art activities wit children with learning disabilities.

"It's great that Cabrini starts us off so early in th major," Rosini said. "You get the feel of what you want to be, and starting early helps because if it's no right for you, it's not too late to change your mind."

Bingo!

Say it loud and proud.

You may have just won $100.

One of the very popular activities among Cabrini College students is bingo.

The Campus Activity Program Board offers bingo for Cabrini students. It is held once a month on a Wednesday 'Dightin the Wigwam at 9 p.m. The great thing about it is that it is free. Your first two cards are free and any additional card that you wish to have is $1.

This is a great way to win $25, $50 or even $100 or gift certificates without having to do anything. Bridget Baxter, coordinator for campus activities, said ''The first time we had bingo, we ran out of cards and places to sit." The last bingo that was held on Sept. 20 brought in over 100 people.

Jason DiLorenzo was one of them.

"Bingo is a good time. I go right after my night class. It's great that you don't have to spend money to make money and it can help your social life," DiLorenzo said.

Many students enjoy going to bingo. Senior Monica Paolucci just won $50 last month along with many others, to name a Few,Brendan Muller, Leslie Glavin, and Randi Kuhn.

If you are looking for an activity at Cabrini to join and are overwhelmed by all the different choices, consider joining Amnesty International.

Amnesty International.or AI, is a worldwide movement that promotes human rights. Azeen Keramati, a member of AI at Cabrini, explained that AI is an organization that helps to provide assistance to people who are persecuted because of their race, religion, and gender yet have not been committed.

Al's main form of stopping these injustices is through petitions and letters written to heads of state throughout the world.

Azeen Keramati resurrected AI at Cabrini after it had died down for a while at the college. Since then, the organization has been running strong for two years.

The AI club has meetings every two weeks to discuss different issues affecting the world. The members also organize events and speakers for the club.

Even after the first month·of school, AI has already begun several projects. Throughout campus, you might have noticed several different posters illustrating facts about gun violence. This project was sponsored by AI and the Alliance for Justice.

This year AI is also planning a "Jamnesty" for spring semester. This battle of the bands event will raise funds for Al- associated organizations and also offer several different petitions to sign while also creating awareness for AI.

AI deals with a lot of intense and controversial issues such as the death penalty and political killings. However, Keramati simply stated, "The goal of AI at Cabrini is to educate students on issues that affect them internationally."

If you are interested in joining AI, you may contact member Melissa Shannon at extension 8798.

nally getting money back from Cabrini." Winning at bingo is an easy way to make some quick cash.

Sophomore, Veronica Meyers said, "It's a lot of fun. Lots of people show up, more than I would have expected." Many students use it for books, Cabrini parking tickets, food, shopping or even speeding tickets. "I won $33. alt was split between three of us and I went shopping."

Bingo is said to soon be changing a little bit. Instead of winning cash the CAP Board is deciding that they will probably give out gift certificates instead. They want to give out gift certificates to the mall and to different local restaurants. They are not quite sure if this will be an ongoing idea and they will totally end cash prizes all together or if they might switch on and off. "We are still deciding about it but it's not definite;' Baxter said.

So whether you want to try to win cash or some cool gift certificates, come out and join the rest of the Cabrini crew at bingo.

It is fun and it gives you something to do on a boring Wednesday night. The next bingo will be held on Nov. 1st at 9:00 p.m. in the Wigwam. So gather all your friends and come on out and socialize a little. Hey, who knows, you may even win $100.

Oh the places we can go

So, you're sitting around and bored out of your mind. There is nothing to do.

Most of your friends are going home and now you are really left alone. Get out!

There are many things to do around this area. Philadelphia is just 30 minutes away and you are sitting around feeling sorry for yourself.

You can hop on the shuttle and get onto the train and go into Philadelphia. You can always take a walk down South Street and visit some of the most interesting shops.

If the city seems a little intimidating or you don't want to venture down there by yourself, there are many movie theaters around Radnor and Wayne where you can catch a new release.

If shopping is your idea of a fun time, you are less than 10 minutes away from the second biggest mall in the nation There are numerous stores that could sell you just what you always needed. It has stores like Macy's, the Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, Structure, Express, Build-aBear, Starbucks and Nordstrom's.

If you are one who likes to have a nice hot meal, other than the cafe that is, there are a great number of restaurants just waiting to seat you and some friends.

Places like Lone Star, Chili's, TGI Friday's, American Bandstand and John Harvard's just to name a few.

Since Halloween is just around the comer there are a few places that offer haunted rides and trails.

The Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride is said to be "America's Most Horrifying Motel" and has been rebuilt to add a new level of fear. It is located at the Arasapha Farm and only minutes from the campus. There are even certain nights that they have live bands.

Another Halloween treat that is not quite as close is Jason's Woods in Lancaster. They offer hayrides, a carnival of fear and the Barn of Terror.

On certain dates they even have the real "Jason" from the movie "Friday the 13th." They also have things for children to do and this year they are having a costume contest where someone will win $1000 in cash!

If you are without a vehicle and you miss the shuttle, there are many things you can still do while on campus.

There are numerous dances held on campus that can be a lot of fun, not only for the people that love to dance, but the people that love to socialize also.
