Russian president warns U.S. of continued action in Iraq tion from all forms of communication, students lined up to have their palm beamed the contact information of everyone on that panel. This scenario puts the whole idea behind the palm in perspective.

The main concern with the requirement of palm seems to be the money. Maria D' AJessandro, an English/communications freshman, said, "I hear complaints about the price of the palm."

Matt Mani, also an English/communications freshman, who displayed a Zire 7 l, said, "l like it (Palm) because it's popular with its many features." Some of the Zire 71 features are a built in camera and a MP3 player.

There will be a time when other students will be pressured to purchase a palm so as not to be left out of the communications society. Maria DeVirgiliis, an English/communications sophomore, said, "Organization wise it's nice, but money-wise, it's weak." DeVirgillis received a free palm for her co-facilitator duties but could understand the frustration in affordability.

Dr. Hal Halbert, an English/communications profes- sor, said, "Members of the department are excited while others are tolerant." Halbert mentioned that without ITR help it has become frustrating for those students who have trouble synching their palm to their computer.

Halbert said, "It would be inappropriate to go into a student's dorm so it is important for ITR to become aware of the palm's technology. Consistency cannot be reached without everyone's involvement."

What does the future hold for Cabrini's communication department? Dr. Jerry Zurek, the English/communications chairman, said, "In a couple of years, we hope to have transmitters in the ceilings." This would allow all students to be quickly beamed their assignments without doing it individually.

Zurek said, "By graduation we hope students (freshmen) to have 100 contacts in their palm."

For those interested in obtaining a Palm the recommended ones are the Zire 71, which is listed at Staples at a price of $299.99 or the Palm Ml30, which is listed at Staples at a price of$194.99.
