The sacred heart symbolizes the Cabrinian tradition of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The tree represents growth, the beauty of the campus and the "cathedral of trees" along the path of ~he entrance to the college. Below the insignia is the banner reading, "Beneficium Supra Seipsum."

Anne Ferry, the director of student activities, told the audience about contests that would be going on in the next week. The college gave away free T-shirts and decals for cars. On March 21, the college had "Cabrini T-shirt day," in which students wearing their shirts received prizes randomly throughout the day. The "Got Logo" contest gave prizes to students displaying the free decal on their car.

Dr. Mary Laver, the director of applied social teaching, said, "I think we are at a good stage of our growth. That calls for a pub- lie celebration, and a logo is a good way to do it."

Some students were concerned about the attention the new logo would bring to Cabrini, and others wondered if the campus needed it.

Jeanine Germano, a sophomore education major and a member of the executive board for student government, said, "We didn't need a new logo, but we are growing, and I understand that it's a good idea. It does show who we are."

Gregory said, "It's better than the other one. It has more meaning."

Nicole Hearn, a freshman biology pre-med major, agreed and said, "I really like the new one. I didn't understand the old one. This is good for the college."

Iadarola explained why the new logo came about. She said that the college was looking forward to the 50th anniversary of the college, and they wanted to solidify our image as they move ahead. She also said, "We wanted to capture the soul of Cabrini. I want to thank the Cabrini College community for that. Everyone was involved." 11AAKETINGDEPJAATHENT/SUBMIT"EOPHcno
