Our Road of LifeTo each one o f us A lm igh ty God has given a special

path to fol low tha t wi l l lead us t o our eternal destination.This path is our road of life. Since he is a personal God, Hehas provided many road signs which, i f obeyed, w i l l insurea safe t r ip and direct us to Heaven.

A few days after we began our journey, Baptism helpedus to pass the test and we received our license as Catholicsto begin o u r t r i p . F o r company w e had o u r own specialGuardian Angel and the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity.To get our lives running smoothly wi th no knocks or bangs,we were lubricated w i th Sanctifying Grace.

Af ter about seven miles we started t o pick up speed;our motor or soul showed i ts performance by developing i tsfaculties o f intellect and free wi l l . T h e intellect makes i teasier to recognize the road signs, and the free w i l l leavesi t up to us to decide the best thruway. Upon stopping, theSacrament o f Penance cleans al l the d i r t and dust that hasbeen collected, the Holy Eucharist nourishes, and Confirma-tion gives us additional strength t o get behind the wheelagain. Our souvenirs are the Seven Gif ts and Twelve Frui tsof the Holy Ghost.

In addition, the friendly traffic advisers, our parents andteachers, acquaint us w i t h a difficult b u t very direct roadmap, the L i f e o f Christ ; and to prevent any accidents o rblow out, impar t the instruction o f the Commandments o fGod and of His Church.

As the journey progresses, we meet a very special friendand companion who offers to help and guide us all the wayto our destination. O u r favorite topic o f conversation w i thher is the rosary, for she is the Blessed Mother. H o w happyshe is when we take her to the movies or dances with us, andwhen we introduce her to our dates. Many times she smilesand consoles us when we th ink our very roadway i s beingundermined by the problems o f the world.

As we travel down the miles here at Cabrini, our knowl-edge and matur i ty allows us t o peer through the windowsof material ism a t t he scenery o f God's Creation, and wemarvel and g lo r i f y H im f o r i t . I n the future, whether wetravel w i t h a partner through marriage, o r continue t h ejourney alone, we can be assured o f God's help and blessingi f we ask fo r i t .

Maureen Lucey '62

Can a Catholic Be President?In every country there arise political disputes on every

topic. I n our day and age one o f the foremost political dis-putes among the citizens o f the United States is, "Can aCatholic be president?"

In order t o discuss th i s topic, we must ask ourselveswhat qualifications we would expect t o f ind i n a candidatefor the presidential office, and i f religious affiliation shouldenter into t h e mat ter. E a c h candidate should possess a naccurate knowledge of how the government runs, experiencein governmental work, and insight in to foreign affairs sothat he may become a proficient diplomat.

Once before, a Catholic, Governor A l f red E . Smith o fNew York, ran for the presidency. H e met all the qualifica-tions; however, h e lost t h e election. The obstacle t o h i ssuccess? H is Catholic F a i t h ! Now Senator John Kennedyof Massachusetts, a candidate f o r the presidency, also pos-sesses every one o f the requisite qualifications; b u t againthere is one obstacle in his way. H e is a Catholic.

Should religion enter the picture? N o , because one o four freedoms is freedom of worship, and every man has ther ight t o choose his own fa i th . T h e n , t h e question arises.Are the people of America sti l l too fearful to elect a qualifiedCatholic president because they th ink he wi l l br ing religioninto politics? Grow up America! G row up! I t isn't fa i th atstake—IT'S US.

L O Q U I T U R

Why Choose aCatholic College?

We cannot escape ou r Cathol i-cism. S i n c e w e i nev i t ab l y a r eknown as Catholics, i t is especiallyincumbent u p o n a n educa tedCatholic to be an intel l igent Cath-olic.. No t too many decades ago,Americans reared i n t he Protes-tant t r ad i t i on tended t o rega rdCatholicism a s t h e f a i t h o f t h eignorant a n d superst i t ious, e n -slaved b y a c ra f t y clergy. Theydisregarded entirely the fact thatthe cu l ture o f wh ich t h e y we reso proud had been preserved andtransmitted through the medievalmonasteries t h e y despised. T h a tattitude should b e modi f ied b yseveral generations o f leaders i nscience, literature and government,men w h o da i l y gave p roo f t ha tintelligent men could be Papists.

Educated Cathol ics n o longerare scarce, but too many o f themare educated in the secular sense;their knowledge of their Faith hasnot gone beyond the i r childhoodcatechism lessons. The intel l igentadult needs more than catechismpossibly could g ive h im. Fo r h isown satisfaction, he needs to ap-preciate theological, philosophicaland h i s to r i ca l reasons f o r t h eFaith he holds. To meet the ques-tions w h i c h non-Catholics b r i ngup, either sincerely o r wi th mal i -cious i n t e n t , h e needs b e t t e rgrounds for defense of his Churchthan weekly sermons can provide.To take his place i n the commu-nity, to be a representative Cath-olic on committees or boards, h eneeds to know the social teachingsof t h e Church a n d t h e reasonsfor those teachings.

Adequate Catholic philosophical,economic and sociological educa-tion becomes of prime importancewhen a man or woman is appoint-ed to a major office. This is not tosay tha t there should be any a t -tempt to substitute Catholic th ink-ing f o r national pol icy o r t rad i -tion. However, sound A m e r i c a ntradition a n d Cathol ic t h i n k i n ghave t h e same sol id foundation:respect for the individual and hisrights under God, and fo r demo-cratic government.

In p r i v a t e l i f e , t h e Cathol icwho h a s inadequate t ra in ing i nCatholic thought runs the r i sk o fmisrepresenting h i s Church. I f ,for example, a model Catholic i scalled upon t o discuss a contro-versial issue, t h e v i e w s h e e x -presses w i l l be accepted b y ou t -siders a s those o f an intel l igentCatholic a n d there fo re o f t h eChurch.

No school training is so import-ant t o t h e student, t h e Church,and the country as is the Catholiccollege training.

Mill ions upon mil l ions o f Cath-olics have l ived good devout livesbui l t u p o n t h e catechism a n dSunday sermons. B y i t s nature,much o f t h i s instruct ion hingesupon author i ty (Church, teacher,priest). Bu t Catholicism has f i rmfoundations outside o f author i ty.I t can meet o the r doctrines o ntheir own ground and prevai l be-cause o f the logic and soundnessof i t s teachings apar t f r o m a u -thority. T h i s v iewpo in t o f t h eChurch i s n o t taught i n t he r e -ligion classes alone; i t is absorbedin philosophy, history, economics,sociology and many other courses.I f those outside the Fai th are t orespect i t , and perhaps be attract-ed t o i t , those w i t h i n t h e Fai thmust be ready to show that beliefin i t i s n o t unreasonable. Thesethen are the answers to the ques-

After about seven miles we started to pick up speed; our motor or soul showed its performance by developing its fuculties of intellect and free will. The intellect makes it easier to recognize the road signs, and the free will leaves it up to us to dec;de the best thruway. Upon stopping, the Sacrament of Penance cleans all the dirt and dust that has been collected, the Holy Eucharist nourishes, :ind Confirma­tion gives us additiona l strength to get behmd the wheel again. Our souvenirs are the Seven Gifts and Twelve Fruits of the Holy Ghost.

In addition, the friendly traffic advisers, our parents and teachers, acquaint us with a difficult but very dii:ect road map, the Life of Christ; and to prevent any accidents or blow out, impar t the instruction of the Commandments of God and of His Church .

As the journey progresses, we meet a very special friend and companion who offers to help and guide us all the way to our destination . Our favorite topic of conversation with her is the rosary, for she is the Blessed Mother. How happy she is when we takf: her to the movies or dances with us, and when we introduce her to our dates. Many times she smiles and consoles us when we think our very roadway is being undermined by the problems of the world.

As we travel down the miles here at Cabrini, our knowl ­edge and maturity allows us to peer through the windows of materialism at the scenery of God's Creation, and we marvel and glorify Him for it. In the future, whether we travel with a partner through marriaJ\'e, or continue !he journey alone, we can be assured of Gods help and blessing if we ask for it.

Can a Catholic Be President? In every country there arise political disputes .o? eve~

topic. In our day and age one of the foremost p~htical dis­putes among the citizens of the United States 1s, "Can a Catholic be pre sident?"

In order to discuss this topic, we must ask ourselves what qualifications we would e:cpect. l? find i~ a. candidate for the pre sidential office, and 1f. religious affiliation should enter into the matter. Each candidate should posses_s an accurate knowledge of how the government runs, experience in governmental work, and insight into foreign affairs so that he may become a proficient diplomat . .

Once b.efore, a Catholic, Governor Alfred E. Sm1t_h of New York, ran for the pre sidency .. He met all the quahfi~­tions ; however, he lost the election. The obstacle to his success? His Catholic Faith! Now Senator John Kennedy of Massachusetts, a candidate for the presidency, also po.5-sesses every one of the requisite qualifications: but agam there is one obstacle in his way. He is a Catholic.

Should religion enter the picture? No, because one of our freedoms is freedom of worship, and every m'.'-n has _ the right to choose his own faith. Then, the quest10n ar( ses. Are the people of America still too ~earful t~ elec~ a qua)1~ed Catholic pre siden t because they thmk he will b_n~g re)1g10n into politics? Grow u~ America! Grow up!

Twelve Rules of Writing

Catholic to be an intelligent Cath-olic .. Not too many decades ago , Am ericans reared in the Protes­tant tradition tended to regard Catholicism as the faith of the ignorant and superstitious, en­slaved by a crafty clergy. They disregarded entirely the fact that the culture of which they were so proud had been preserved and transmitted through the medieval monasteries they despised. That attitude should be modified by several generations of leaders in science, lit erature and government, men who daily gave proof that intelligent men could be Papists .

Educated Catholics no longer are sca rce, bu t too many of th em are educated in the secular sense; their knowiedge of their Faith has not gone beyond their childhood catechism lessons. The intelligent adult needs more than catechism possibly could give him. For his own satisfaction, he needs to ap­preciate theological, philosophical and historical rea sons for the Faith he holds. To meet the ques­tions which non-Catholics bring up , either sincerely or with m ali­ciou s intent, he needs better grounds for defense of his Church than weekly serm ons can pr ovide. To take his place in th e commu­nity, to be a Tepresentative Cath­olic on committees or boards, he needs to know the social teachings of the Church and the reasons for t.noJE: teachings. ---

Adequate Catholic philosophical, economic .and sociological educa­tion becomes of prime importance when a man or woman is appoint­ed to a major office. Thi s is not to say that there should be any at­tempt to substitute Cath oli c think­ing for national policy or tradi­tion. How ever, sound American tradition and Catholic thinking have the same solid foundation: respect for the individual and his rights under God, and for demo­cratic government.

In priv .ate life, the Catholic who has inadequate training in Catholic thought runs the risk of misrepresenting his Church. If, for examp le , a model Catholic is called upon to discuss a contro­versial issue, the views he ex­presses will be accepted by out­siders as those of an intelligent Catholic and therefore of the Church.

No school training is so import­ant to th e student, the Church, and the cou n try as is the Catholic college training.

to the fact that she hails from the great Empire State . No matter how bleak the day, our Miss X can be counted on to add a bright note . However, each Wednesday night she gets a little annoyed when the phone keeps ringing and the call isn't for her. But the long­distance call from New York un­failingly comes and all is well once more. Miss X is well known as an excellent conversationalist. She can always be counted on to fill in any gaps. When somet ·hing is troubling you, do not hesitate to see k her out. She has many interests, but the chief interest at present is a certain blue and white Ford which can be seen circling the Sophomore Smoker almost every afternoon. We have not yet determined whether it is the model , color, make or occu­pants of this car "Which fascinate her. The light in her brown eyes glows even brighter when she sets off to make t!ie two and a half hour trip to New York City. The reason for her happiness m ight be that a certain someone is anx­iously awaiting her arrival.

We certainly hope that our Miss X will have as many happy memories of her days at Cabr_ini a,s we have had by knowing her.

The Typical College Boy We, the coeds of Cabrini College, in viewing the typical

college man,. express our feelings on six points. The typical college man 1s:

1. A tweed - He dresses suit­ably for all occasions: leather el­bow patches on his jackets, a touch of olive drab, dirty bucks and a "Princeton cut."

2. Cosmopolitan in talk - as he is we11 versed on subjects such as girls, dolls , femmes, blondes, bru­nettes and redheads.

3.Man about town - He knows every "respectable establishment" from the New York state line to Pittsburgh, Pa.

4. An inteUectual - He takes pains, pouring time and effort into his work, from which he reaps much satisfaction; i.e., up · to Fri­day afternoon. Then comes the WEAK-end and the books are left behind in the ~ of hasty escape. ~ He is !Jioughtful - Morning,

noon and night he thinks of him­self.

6. He ponders heavy problems­such as where to find the ice to keep the coke cold on a warm day, or how he can squeeze his home­work into his busy social sched­ule.

Ah, yes, these are truly the characteristics of a typical college man. However, an over-3.bund­ance of any one of these char­acterisiics makes the individual the memorable man found 'round the campus. Close yqur eyes now, girls, and we'll take you to the typical boy's college.

One of the most unforgettable characters you'll meet will be the Bohemian. You're likely to bump into him in any nook or . cranny or restaurant six feet below or one foot above street level. No matter

where he is, you'll notice him with his bearded face and all over shaggy appearance. He's the artis­tic type. Anything goes from bongo drums to the symbolic plays of Ibsen.

The next individual you ·are likely to come across is the tall, masculine fellow who goes under the name of Joe Hero. He is gen -­erally quite conceited, but he is the B.M.0.C. - (Big .Man on Cam­pus) and the crowned victor we girls always fall hard for.

Of course, a college 1•m't a col­lege without the intellectuals and that's who you are likely t~ run into next, provided he has es­caped from his secluded paradise long enough for you to get a glimpse of him. For the intellec­tual girl he's 0.K.., but just re­m ember, gals, reference books aren't taken out.

Next we have the irresistible type - at lea st he thinks he is irresistible. He is considered a lot of fun with the fellows, but he is not a very good ingredient for mixed company.

Lastly we have the clear.. cut, well dressed, good looking boy who is neither Bohemian nor in­tellectual (in large doses), nor the over-confident sports hero, nor the party boy not fit for mixed com­pany; but rather he is a good con­versationalist, dances well, and handles all situations beautifully. He's kind and considerate. If in your travels you come across him, let us know because we certainly would like to meet this "one in a million."

Our New Home - Cabrini College

Just about two months ago we were all preparing for our entree into college. For most of the up­

per classmen it was not a new adventure, but !or us freshmen it was entirely new. We were buy­ing new clothes, sewing hems , and earning a little extra spending money. It would be so much fun away from home. Then September nineteenth came. We came met new friends, and a year of stiff school work .

After the final good-bye had been waved to our parents, we

turned to look at the Grace-Hil­ton, our new home. How could anything ever be the same again? The friends back home, our fami-­lies, and ev en the little family discu ss ion s we had alter dinner all see med to be far in the pa st. After we started talking, however, we began to feel at ease again. After the first few days of home­sickness, the Grace-Hilton felt like home. We became fast friends, congregated in one another's rooms, listened to records and dis­cussed the latest news. College has become a happy home for us.

What Every Teacher ShouldKnowAboutMe

Once upon a time I took a per­sonality test, and did I surprise myself! I found out I'm not quite the person I think I am. And I've been living with myself for seven­teen years , eleven months, and 350 days . How can I expect a pro­fessor in college to know me when he has never been in my company for more than an hour?

My personality test r evealed that I live in an optimistic and visionary world. My ideals pre­vent mefrom quite believing that the people I love could do any­thing wrong and that to do wrong is very grave indeed. I weave the pattern of my life on a vividly colored . tapestry. I am the bright bluebird of cheeriness, the purple­robed confessor and sympathizer, and the rainbow-threaded butter­fly of talent that shyly kisses all with pollened lips. Yet I am not a chameleon, although I sincerely endeavor to change a mood to oblige a friend. I dislike my tapes­try to be commonplace and ordi­nary; therefore, I shun all cut and dry formulas. I make exceptions for myself and others and insist upon a standard of conduct for everyone. I love God because I believe one must have great faith, hope and charity. I have an in­satiab le quest for knowledge of my religion and am very interest­ed in the study of all subjects. I hope some day to add to my tapestry the life of a man who shares my avid interests in God and life. I like to do my best at all times when I'm not overcome by seizures of laziness. Occasion­ally I take off my rose colored glasses . Looking around, I find it quite difficult to believe I Jive in the Milky Way Galaxy on the planet Ear th. Each glimpse of my world gives me added conviction to "stick to my guns" and do my best, letting God do the rest.

May I never be tempted to lay aside my rose colored glasses, may I respect what I am and respect the individuality of others.

Juniors Only Our first night at Cabrini?

Christmas Caroling? The blizzard on the day of our Valentine's D~nce- The classic snowball fight with .Father Giorgi? Our flrst march up Fifth Avei:iue - cold but .proud? The shy visits of ou; little friends from what is now Grace Hall? Prince, the collie, who dogged our steps that year? Slep­ing in the halls the night before classes ended in June? The scramb ling for Friday night blind dates that afternoon? Mother Bernadine's cow-bell? The Hpio­neer spirit 0 ? Mother Ursula walk­ing in the door and teasingly hold­ing her precious burden? The mo­ment of reverent silence shattered by headlong dives and cries of 11Did I get a letter?"

Loud and tinny, Big Tom Dona­hue's voice echoed through the halls in 1957-58. WIBG, that via­lent supporter of rock and roll was tuned in from the momeni eyes sleepily opened till they even more sleepily shut.

With the passing of a summer dedicated to acquiring new ma­turity, many retuI'ned with a col­lection o! records, and Johnny Mathis crept into our .building. Joe Niagra and Big Tom were present but less noticeable.

At las t - Juniors in college, ready to face the future, one hard­ly hears WIBG. Strains of Pro­boxiev, Fr ank Sinatra, The King­ston Trio, and even, if one listens very carefully, sometimes Wag­ner, compete from room to room for supremacy,
