Three Cabrini students along with the coordinator of the writing center, Dr. Susan Waller, will sail through a series of seminars that will invite tutors, directors and students to explore the multiple paths and diverse directions of writing centers at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. on April 8.

"If textbook prices are in any way related to tuition costs, then books are way under priced, but I don't see the relation, therefore the costs are too high," said Matt Burge, junior political science and philosophy major. "I'm glad that states and Congress are finally taking the initiative to help us out struggling college folk."

The conference that is sponsored by the MidAtlantic Writing Centers Association, which is a regional affiliate of the International Writing Centers Association, will have college members coming from all along the east coast in attendance.

Waller said, "It is a different site for the conference. However, I think it will be informative and enjoyable for the students in attendance."

Cabrini students attending • the conference will attend sessions that discuss topics such as gender and authority rank in the writing center, which will be presented by the U.S. Naval Academy.
