C~mpus watches Reagan
•
BY JIM LAWLOR Governor Ronald Reagan's victory over Jimmy Carter in Tuesday's presidential election grasped the unbroken attention of the Cabrini campus ... for a while. The remarkably early and decisive victory left plenty of time for students to turn their attention back to other matters. At 9 p.m., one hour after voting booths in the eastern standard time zone closed, ABC television was giving a rundown of who is likely to be in the Reagan cabinet. The electoral count was 243 for Reagan and 35 for Carter. In Counsel Hall at this time several students were still following the results. Junior John Keating commented, "I'm surprised that it is so decisive. I think a lot of people couldn't bring themselves to vote for another Carter term, even though Reagan may not have been their favorite person for the job ." At 9 : 15 Reagan picked up three more electoral ·votes, from the state of Delaware. Counsel Head · Resident Ron Katkocin was in disbelief. "I was so prepared for a Carter · victory that I still can't believe he is losing. I thought a lot of undecideds would get in the booth and vote for Carter, even if they were leaning to Reagan." In the Mansion lobby Mary Goldner, perhaps the most vocal Reagan supporter on campus, was beside herself. "I am ecstatic over the victory," she said among a small group watching the results. "I am surprised that it happened so early, I think

by lands Iide they were calling Reagan at 8: 30," Goldner added. At 9 :50 New York put Reagan over the 270 electoral vote mark for the victory . Carter gave his concession speech, saying that the loss hurt, but promisfng the smoothest transition of presidential power in history . Tl)e small crowd in the Mansion soon broke up and went its various ways. By 10:00 p.m ., the television in the lobby of the fifth house was off , there was a dorm meeting in house four, and stu. dents in the lobbies of houses two and three were watching the movie " Earthquake." Back at Counsel, T.V.'s were off and stereos on. Students were studying, playing darts, and applauding Steve Carlton's winning of baseball's Cy Young Award . Attention swung back to the election only once for a brief time, shortly before midnight when Reagan gave his victory speech. He promised to justify the faith of the voti!rs, and to work as a true partner and friend with vice-president elect --Ceorge Bush. Several students offered opinions about the likely effects of the election. Most felt they would be most directly affected by whatever moves Reagan makes concerning college education funding programs. Few students felt the United States is more likely to go to war under Reagan, apparently regarding his war-hawk image as only campaign propaganda.

equipment was in the Studio on Friday, Oct. 17, when they cleaned during the night. The campus security guard Paul Slonaker reported that he found the Studio locked on Saturday , Oct. 18, when he made nightly rounds, but unlocked on Sunday night when he came by. Although he shined a flashlight in the room, he noticed nothing amiss because there was no disorder." An investigation of both burglaries is under the direction of Dectectives Grace and Kelly, of the Radnor Twp. Police Force . Kelly is heading the Maguire House investigation and Grace is heading the Communications Studio investigation . Maurrce Hennessy, Chief of Police, and Dectective William Zimmerman, Head of Radnor ' s Crime Prevention Unit, both agree they have no reason to believe that these two incidents are in any way related . However, if physical evidence, such as matching fingerprints, arises it will alter their thinking in this matter. Hennessy, Zimmerman, Sr. Sharon Morano, Dean of Students, Mike Caranfa, Director of Maintenance and Ron Brown, Supervisor of Campus Security are all in agreement that the incidents at Maguire and possibly the Communications Studio are the result of the actions of a member of our own campus community. Sr. Sharon stated, "I believe the burglaries have been committed by' a person'affiliated wlth ' thi~ ~Amt,~. "Mai:tillre, \fie wa chdog,
was very helpful in the last burglary since he was not disturbed while in the lobby . Whoever st ole the T.V. is familiar with the house and the dog ."' She also stated that the first break-in at Maguire is independent of the most recent one. " The only connection I can make between Maguire and the Communications Studio is that all the items stolen were audio-visual eqwpment and can be easily sold or pawned . However, all the equipment is identifiable ," said Sr . Sharon : She also noted that administrators have some suspicions of who is committing the crimes but cannot take any action until further information is obtained. Hennessy encourages anyone having any information regarding these incidents to report it to either Petectives Grace or Kelly . Cooperation between Cabrini and the Radnor Police has been good thus far according to Hennessy. Sr. Sharon also commented that the police have been notified about every break-in this semester and are making every attempt to solve these cases. Zimmerman has been on campus several times to speak with Sr. Sharon, Caranfa and Gus Nicoletti, Head-of Resident Life. On each occasion he has reviewed with them the problems we have with security and ways in which he can prevent such incidences. On two separate occasions he has made a list of suggestions for Cabrini to institute ·cbanges on tbe camp ·us which would help in this
prevention . They are as follows : improved lighting at each new house , drivewa y and walkw ay. security devices placed on a ll ground floor windows , dead bolt locks on all exterior doors of the new houses and finally clearing away of all dense shrubber y around each house. To date the only one of these changes which has been instituted is the changing of locks on the houses. However , the new locks are not dead bolt locks . They are merely a more secure version of the old locks , according to Zimmerman. On Oct. 16, Zimmerman and Kelly arrived at Maguire House to inquire about the burglary . Within a 20 minute period they did not encounter one person. They mad e a routine check of the house and found several bedroom doors unlocked. Zimmerman strong ly believes thal this would be one way for a would-be criminal to enter a room and commit a crime . He stresses that students lock their doors and secure all their possessions, as well as being aware of any strange person , incident or vehicle on campus. He also stresses that the only way for students to protect themselves and the campus is to work together and with campus administrators.

What do you think?
Sisters celebrate l 00 years St. Patrick's Cathed -ral was the site of the one hundredth anniversary celebration of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart last , month. A group of 45 from the campus community journeyed to New York and joined an estimated two thousand people who attended the commemorative mass. St. Francis Xavier Cabrini founded the order in Italy in 1880 and saw her dream established on three continents during her lifetime. Today the order has spread to 17 countries throughout the world .
BISHOP MAGUIRE celebrated the looth anniversary Cabrini sisters at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York .
This publication would like to extend its congratulations on behalf of the campus community to the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Cabrini College and its best wishes for the next mass for the hunded years.
Florence Lania asked students. "Does the semester midpoint bring any academic anxiety? Why or why not? What do you do for it?"
Frank D' Amico, Freshman "The only anxiety that I had was when I was taking Dr . Girard's exam. Mainly because of the high number of points for each essay. To relieve my anxiety I try not to think of the exam."
Gary Wietecha, Sophomore "Yes, because I'm under a lot of pressure due to the fact-that papers are due, tests , etc. I let out my frustrations by getting rowdy ."
Pat Dailey, Junior ''Yes, anxiety because you realize that half the semester is over and the hardest part is yet to come . I usually just relax during exams and look forward to the weekends!"
Field hockey team: a iob ·well done This September, Cabrini College expanded its women's sports program with the addition of the field hockey team. Though the team went 0-8 for this season, the determination and spirit of the team is one that should be exemplified in all sports . As a new team, the women were inexperienced, but showed fine talent and strength when competing against teams that were more advanced and established than Cabrini. Untle1· the di, cctiu11of-coach Mrs. Mimi Greenwood, the women have come a long way in the sport. Theoughout the season, the women showed improvement in their style and ability .of playing, both offensively and defensively . Many of the

.
games they played were lost by only one goal. The addition of the field h ockey team has added variety to the Cabrini women's sports program. It opened up a new area for women who didn't have the ability or skill to play volleyball or basketball who still wanted to be involved in the sports program. As of now, the 17 member team has the potential and ability of showing that the team is on its way to forming a fine, winning team . The experience and optimism of this year 's team will greatly help here . If the sportsmanship and spirit shown by thi s year's team is an example of what the future holds for Cabrini's hockey team, then a winning season surely isn't that far away.
Letters
Linda Close, Junior "Yes , I feel pr_essure during mid-term exams due to the fact that mid-term exams account for a large percentage of my grades. To alleviate some of this anxiety I begin by breaking the material down so that I study a little each night. Therefore I don 't end up cramming a couple months of lecturing into one or two nights of studying . Secondly, before the test relax don't look over your notes if you don 't know it by then you never will . One mus t adm it tha t if you do all this you've got nothing to worry about , jus t do your best. "
Joanne DeFelice, Senior "Yes, because of mid-terms , and you start realizing that the semster is coming to an end . After my exams I usually just celebrate ."
Alissa DeMaria, Senior " Yes , because it is the point of the semester where you start realizing all the work is due ."
Cleanliness, team support lacking found amongst knives as well.
Dear Editor, There are two things which I would like to compalin about. My first beef (no pun intended) concerns the cafeteria . It is amazing to me that in this day and age of technology and sterilization, I cannot manage to find a clean eating utensil in the cafeteria. While standing in line, waiting for Iood, one stands with tray in hand and then proceeds to select utensils from the utensil rack . One day I counted and it took me seven tries before I found a fork that at least did not have food particles clinging to its tines.
the spoons and
Monday, October 6th (to be specific) at dinner time I tried to select a cup for some hot tea. The first two cups I found had sugar encrusted in the bottom . While I believe in service, I do not believe that it is the policy of the cafeteria to pre-sugar cups prior to their use. I like to add my own sugar to my tea. I mention this as another example of unclean eatingware supplied to the hungry diners. My second beef concerns the lack of spirit supplied by students in the support of their teams. Most noticeably lacking are mouths in support of the Women's Volleyball Team . During their games, stu dents wander In, sit on the stage in the gymnasium, talk amo ·ngst themselves, seemingly oblivious to the game, and then leave.
I would like to suggest that whoever is in charge of dish washing should be told to use HOT water while washing and no more quick rinses under the cold spigot. Uncleanliness is not limited to only the forks but can be commonly
I have made it a point to sit in the first row of chairs immediately along the court and cheer on my team up close, where it counts. Again on Monday, October 6th, I single-handedly outcheered a bleacher of fans for the opposition as I cheered Cabrini to a victory . Already angry over the dirty cups I had encountered earlier in the evening, I was mad and needed something to scream at. The game provided my release of frustrations . I know that we have some BIG mouths on campus. I challenge you, therefore, to come out and use this talent in suppoJtt of Cabrini teams. Volleyball, Soccer and Women's Field Hockey need the big mouthed fans to cheer them on. I'm finished. Thank you for your time and consideration, · MARK D. (Pop) ROBINSON

Convocation honors academic success BY MARY C. GOLDNER
•
Fall Convocation, held on Tuesday, October 28, 1980 honored the academic excellence of many students of Cabrini College. Convocation began with William Carr playing the Prelude from "The English Suite," by J .S. Bach . Mr . Carr was the first to play on Cabrini's new Steinway Piano which was a gift to the College . Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, MSC, President gave the welcome address sighting the achievement and excellence of the College in all areas of education. Sister thanked · the faculty for providing academic excellence and the parents for their support and financial commitment to their children's education. This years Convocation coincides with the 100 anniversary of the Missionary sisters of the Sacred Heart. "A century ago one woman's dream became a reality," said Sullivan. Around the world the Missionary Sisters are providing education, health services, and social services to those less fortunate," add Sullivan.

Student loan program expands On October 3, 1980 the Educational Amendments of 1980became law. Some aspects of the amendments affect the guaranteed student loan program and should be noted: 1) The yearly maximum loan amount for a dependent undergraduate student remains $2500. The aggregate undergraduate maximum for a dependent student has increased from $7500 to $12,500. This means that you will now be able to borrow a full $2500 per year for all four years of undergraduate study -if you so desire. 2) The yearly maximum for an independent undergraduate student has increased from $2500to $3000. The aggregate undergraduate maximum for independent students has been raised from $7500to
$15,000.
3) The aggregate maximum for graduate students has increased from $15,000 to $25,000 ( including all loans taken for undergraduate study). This should be especially noted by anyone thinking about graduate school. 4) Interest rates for first time borrowers is increasing from 7% to 9% for periods of instruction commencing after January 1, 1981. Students who currently have an outstanding GSL balance will remain at the 7% interest rate. New borrowers will also have only a six month grace period before they must begin re payment. Also, a new loan program has been created for parents of students. It is for the parents of dependent undergraduates. The
maximum parental loan is $3000 per year with an aggregate maximum of $15,000. Repayment is required to begin within 60 days after disbursement. There is no federal interest subsidy on this new Joan program. The above provisions become effective January 1, 1980. In addition, the Synod of the Trinity offer annual ·scholarships to minority students with a financial need for (unds. Application material and information is available in the financial aid office. Interested students should pick up the information as soon as possible. Any student who has any questions on this information should contact the financial aid office.

First student elected as CCA chairperson BY MAUREEN CARROLL
For the first time in its thirteen-year existence, the Council of College Affairs , consisting of both faculty and students, is now headed by a student. Senior Terri McGovern accepted the position of chairperson at the first council meeting held in September. McGovern, who had never previously served on this council, commented, "It felt really good. I was surprised because it was my first sitting at a CCA meeting." In the race for the title of chairperson, McGovern ran against Dr. Marice Bezdek, associate professor of English and comihunications, Dr. John DeTurck, professor of biology, and Dr. Marilyn Johnson, professor of English and communications. In the final stretch of the election, held within the committee, DeTurck and McGovern were neck to neck, but the latter was victorious. "It gives me a sense of responsibility, so I'm taking it seriously. I appreciate the chance to work with both faculty and students," said the new chairperson.

Grade inflation spreading across country BY REGINA O'LEARY
Grade inflation is spreading across the country. Students are working less and getting more A's - something which students call "Easy A's." Has Cabrini been affected? No. According to registrar's statistics, it seems that there has been a decline in the number of A's given by teachers in the last four years. An example of this is the language department. In 1978, 35 per cent of the students enrolled in a language course received A's for the final first semester grade, and another 8% received B's. However, in January, 1980, at the end of the first semester, only 22%
had received A's and the B's had jumped to .15%. Most courses had similar changes. Does this mean that within the last four years the intellectual level of students had decreased? Not necessarily. According to Arthur Young, Director of General Studies Program, there is a lowering of grades because "sutdents don't know the difference between reading and studying." "Studying means segregating the important things, then reviewing them over and over again, then reflecting on them," said Young. What do some students think of their courses? Are they challeng-
ing? Whalsubjects really need the most attention? . For junior, Maria Carbone, a business major, her hardest course this year is finance. "The teacher and the course demand a lot of time and effort to understand the concepts . The course is focused -on a concentration of everything we learn marketing, statistics, accounting and management. To Carbone, this year is the hardest. "It is far harder now than any past year. The business courses demand a lot. You have to apply yourself and it gets tougher all the time." Statistics from the registrar

According to the Registrar's statistics, in January 1976, 12% of biology students received A's and
5% got B's. In comparison, in January 1980, only 6% had received A's, while the B's had climbed to a 14% mark. According to Kathie Walls, a sophomore special education major, "you have to work hard for your A's." She compared the courses to universities where it may be easier to get an A. According to Young, most new students expect A's when they come to college. "What they don't realize is that A is for excellent . They don't realize the work that goes into it. B is very good, and C is-average. C is not a bad grade ."

Only 10 per cent received A's, however, 28% had B's and 14% had B-'s. For sophomore Dane Linn, a special education elementary education major, there are no courses that are easy A's.

they're really interesting. Because I haven't decided on a major, I usually try to get my requirements out of the way. I never choose courses that I think will be an easy A or just because I like the teacher. I choose them because I want to get something out of them." Kurt Pollard, freshman, explained that if a teacher is boring, he won't take that particular course. Even more important is the time in which an elective is offered. "Time is crucial because late nights keep me up till the wee hours of the morning and I like to sleep in late to recuperate," he said. Paul Pucker.in, freshman, explained that he likes to have all courses over with at 3:00 p.m. "The electives must be interesting because it's hard to study a subject that is boring, especially when it is not part of your major," he said . In addition to this , Puckerin won't pick an elective which entails an additional personal expense such as photography, art or horseback riding.

Most students in the General Studies Program receive their college degree, ac'Cording to Arthu ·r Young, director of the program. The General Studies Program is designed to help students who, at admissions time, do not meet Cabrini's regular academic standards. It is also a program that can be of "help to any student engaged in the college experience ," said Young . Young first became involved with the program around the spring of 1975 when he was asked to help students who were failing. He feels that students get out of . the pr.ogram ,what .they put into it. . ~•P.eopte.need.fo rhake.them~elve's efficient scholars ·, and succeed if they have a healthy attitude ' are willing to work," said Young .
Mike Spinelli, junior, chooses electives because they are suggested by his advisor and are of personal interest. Judy Smoll, senior, also makes her decisions according to interest. "If the interest element is there, it's automatically an easy A," she said. As you can see, there are many factors which influence one's decision to choose electives . Of course , instructors and faculty have advice and a philosophy of their own. Arthur Young believes that
interest should be the first priority. Aside from this, Young said, "I like the idea of students coming to take something they know nothing about. It gives them an opportunity to fill the gaps in their knowledge and it's probably the only time they will ever get to fill these voids." Mr. Robert Mc Gee believes that interest in a given course or topic is essential. "Electives should be in your related field or chosen just out of plain curiosity for another subject," he said. , Sister Sharon Morano, dean of students, suggested that students should choose electives by the following criteria: 1) An interest area that will broaden one's scope. 2) a course that might supplement one's major. 3) Something that can broaden one's academic scope. Dr. Jerome Zurek thinks that there are sever.al factors involved in choosing an elective. "First of all, a student should develop his or her interest by taking something new. Electives should also help them in their future careers ," he said. In addition to this, Zurek noted that the requirements for a degree are set up with a large chunk set aside for electives . He suggested that students plan ahead and use them wisely .

We couldn't join the music class unless we could sing. Through electives, I can experience the things I always thought I wanted to do.

Horror movies: Women are powerless BY DENISE J. TERIFAY
The terrifying story of an innocent teenager who is stalked by a killer on Halloween is the subject of Irwin Yablans' box office hit, "Halloween." "Halloween," although better than most horror movies, is typical in its portrayal of women as victims. George Gerbner, in "TV and How It Affects People's Thinking,'' says women are portrayed as victims many more times than they actually are. "The powerless are often the victims before the powerful, so women are victims because they are made to seem powerless," Mary Louise -Sicoli, assistant p~ofessor in Psychology and Special Education . The idea of the powerless woman is presented in the first scene of "Halloween" when a teenage girl is stabbed to death by her six-year-old brother. The woman is portrayed as so powerless that she can't control a child. The end of the film again shows male dominance. The main character, Lorrie, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, is able to fend off the kiJJer until the very end when she must be saved by the psychopath's doctor. Lorrie is not
capable of saving herself . Violence is not the only way women are victimized in "Halloween." Lorrie, giving a reason why she never has any dates, says, "The guys think I'm too smart." This would lead one to believe that a woman can't be too intelligent if she hopes to attract guys. Not only is Lorrie seen as being too smart and therefore not appealing to guys, but the girls that are popular in the movie are those who don't know the meaning of the word 'homework '; only worry about their hair and make-up; and sleep with their boyfriends as their only preo.ccupations. Also, two of the three main women characters spend most of the movie running around half naked and the third, Lorrie, has her blouse ripped by the kiJJer's knife. This could be seen not only as exploitation but as an invitation to rape as well. In her book about rape, Susan Brownmiller describes rape as a "power act not a sexual act." Not only do these movies victimize women but they may be perpetrating violent crimes against women. In "The ,Early Window," Bandura's research shows that

Springsteen LP a splash Then I got Mary pregnant And, man, that was all she wrote And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and wedding coat
BY JOE KRAVITZ
Bruce Springsteen's 5th album, "The River," combines the energy and emotion of all prior hit albums. Yet what gives this double LP the extra praise that it rightfully deserves is that "The Boss" displays musical qualities for the hard rock 'n roll buff of the 1950's as well as of the 80's. The album's title song, "The River,•' opens with a style familiar to Neil Young. This slow paced song tells the story of high school lovers growing up.
As in tJ1epast, consistent sounds are produced through "The EStreet Band". Organist Roy Bittan exhausts every keyboard talent within himself to create such strong beat songs as "I'm a Rocker" and "Drive all Night". The song "Hungry Heart" takes the listener back into the heart lov-
ing days of the 1950's. As in all Springsteen music , the saxophone by Clarence Cleamons plays a key role in the success of the songs . Once again Cleamons leaves the listener impressed by songs such as "Out on the Street " and "Sherry Darling ". Having not released an album since 1978, Springsteen seems to be quite restored and ready for the 80's. The title "The River " seems very appropriate , for this LP seems to flow on and on.

proves spellbinding BY TERRI McGOVERN
I recently attended the musical, "Evita" at New York City's Broadway Theater. This Robert Stigwood production is the recipient of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, 1980. Currently in its second successful season, "Evita" is directed by Harold Prince, lyrics by Tim Rice, and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. "Evita" is the musical based on the life of Eva Durate Peron, a professional Argentine actress and wife of President Juan Peron. Born in 1919, the fourth illegitimate child of five Durate children, Eva (Patti LuPone) rebels against middle class values and aspires to tlie· stages of"IJue·nhs Aires. • ' At age 27, Eva meets a Colonel in the Argentina military, Juan I

Peron (David Cryer). They marry, and together stir support for organized labor in Argentina. Eva becomes the driving force of politics while actively involved in charity societies. Her excessive monetary gifts eventually lead to the deterioration of the state. Her spellbound supporters, however, continued to admire her conviction and considered her their unofficial representative. An early death by cancer at age 33 may be the reason for Eva's immortal legend.

The motion picture, "Halloween," which has recently been re-released by Compass International Pictures, stars the distinguished English actor Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis. Curtis is following the footsteps of her mother, Janet

'Elephant Man'
Invalid teaches a deformed BY DIANA McSWEENEY
" People are frightened by what they don 't understand." That single line is the essence of Paramount Picture 's " The Elephant Man". The Jonat)1an Sanger production was directed by David Lynch and stars Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, John Gielgud and Anne Bancroft. "The Elephant Man" is based on the life of John Merrick who lived in Victorian England. Legend went that Merrick's mother was struck down by an elephant that broke free during a circus parade in the fourth month of pregnancy. Merrick, consequently, was born hideously deformed. The movie began in Merrick's twenty-first year. He is "owned" by a revolting character named Bytes, who carts Merrick all over England in a traveling carnival as part of the freak show. Kept in darkness, fed potatoes and mercilessly beaten, Merrick is little more than an animal though he is Bytes' only source of income. "He is a freak. How else should he live?" It is at this point that Frederick Treves, sensitively played by Anthony Hopkins, a lecturer in anatomy at the medical college of London Hospital, stumbles across this physical oddity of uncertain origins . Initially Treves is little better than Bytes, paying for a few hours ~ of .J.iroe..he.. .used Merrick. ai; -the _ bas1sin a lecture on gross pb~cal deformities. At the conclusion of the . lecture when asked to comm en t -on Merrick's mental

capacities Treves replies, "Oh, he's probably been an imbecile from birth . A complete idiot.. .at least I hope to God he's an idiot. " Through an acute case of bronchitis that requires hospitalization and, as a result prolonged contact with Merrick, Treves gradually realizes that this "imbecile" is a terrified human being who has retreated into silent submission . Treves dares Merrick to suppress the terror, if only long enough to communicate briefly. "I can't help you unless you help me .." What emerges, to Treves' astonishment, is a man of extraordinary sensitivity and intelligence. "Why didn't you tell me you could read?" "I was frightened." John Hurt's portrayal of Merrick is a remarkable accomplishment. Taking a character whose physical makeup could have been distracting, he instead takes us beyond the shell outside and cuts to the core of the man inside. The film verged on the maudlin once or twice but managed to rescue itself in time. It is filmed in black and white, a device which effectively communicates a period of feeling, as well as the grimy despair of the unfortunate of the Victorian era. "I am not an animal. I am a human being ... I am a man." A desperate cry from a tortured human being pleading for peace and understanding.

Basketball transition run smoothly and Cabrini. All conference teams will be played twice, on a home and away basis. A championship tournament will be played March 6-7, 1980. All-conference and all tournament players will be named at this time. Dzik felt it was difficult to prediet how the team will do. "We have our hands full with the most difficult schedule in the history of the school. Teams such as Spring Garden, Philadelphia Pharmacy, and John's Hopkins will be our toughest competition," he said. The coaches felt they had a somewhat difficult time selecting the · final team. Dzik projected a good team barring any injuries or academic difficulties. He sees, "A strong nucleus, but not a great deal of depth." Returning players John Keating and Michael Bennett will figure prominently.

The 1980-81 basketball season is upon us bringing many new faces and changes. Athletic Director, John Dzik will be coaching this year's team. Assisting him will be Joseph Kelly, Art Hunter, and Mike Keeley. Dzik hasn't found any trouble adapting to the team. Taking over from former coach, Dr. Jolyon P. Girard, went smoothly despite their difference in style. "We have two different styles. I believe in taking the players you have and working with that base. I am against sticking to a strict concept and molding your players around that concept," Dzik commented. _ For the first time Cabrini will participate in a conference. The Keystone Conference consists of five teams, Beaver, Penn StateCapital, Misericordia, Alvernia,
Freshmen, Robert Davis, an Allsuburban from Upper Moreland, and Vince Mirabella will supply youth to the team. Transfers Ray Young, from Philadelphia Community College, and Marty Clancy, from Lycoming , will lend experience to the team. Other players include, seniors, Keith Kickman and Andy Cullen; juniors John Derham, Tim Feeney , Mike Hilsey ; sophomore Alfred Monostra and freshman Paul Breslin. Although it was too early to tell, certain players have been outstanding according to Dzik. Our first chance to view the new team will be in an inter-squad game. This is a new addition to the Cabrini roster, The Royal/White Game, Saturday, Nov. 15 at 7:00 p.m.
MIKE BENNETT, MIKE HILSEY, AND AL MONOSTRA run through a

Eight games into the men's soccer season it was discovered by John Dzik, men's athletic director, that Steve Brown did not meet the eligibility requirements of the NAIA rules. "When I found out that we were in violation o the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics twenty-four credit rule I ruled accordingly that Steve Brown would be ineligible to compete against anymore teams who are NAIA members," said Dzik. "The twenty-four credit rule is a requirement of NAIA in academics. It means that in the two previous semesters ( Fall and Spring) a player must average twelve credits per semester," Dzik said. The rule Dzik is referring to is found in Article V, section c of the NAIA eligibility requirements. It

"Our previous eight games were against non-member NAIA institutions and all of our remaining games are against non-member NAIA institutions ," said Dzik . Dzik added that if Brown had played in a game against any teams that abided by the NAIA rules then there was a chance the the men's soccer team would have had to forfeit those games . "We were caught by this thing in mid semester - now we are aware of the rule. In the future all players must meet the twenty four hour rule," said Dzik.

Co-Captain, Fred Toroni felt the two week soccer camp in August prepared the team for the season. Toroni states, "We improved in basic skills, ball control and knowledge of our positions." Early in the season the team showed their ability to come back under pressure in the Academy of New Church game. With ten minutes to play co-captain Jeff Brun scored the tieing goal. Then with only two minutes left in the game Tom DeMatteis got the go ahead goal for a 3-2 Cavalier -victory.

Field hockey wraps up season as a team 8-Y DEBBIE JABLONSKI Tough competition and teamwork has enabled the women 's field !Jockey team to improve throughout the season. Practice seems to be the key to a successful season according to Coach Greenwood. "We must practice as a unit, small groups are good but bad for team strategy which is very important to win," said Greenwood. Coach Greenwood was praised by many of the team members because of her knowledge of the game and ability to relate the techniques of field hockey to people un. familiar with the sport. "She is really a good coach; she teaches the basics and expects. you to win but understands that this is a new game for many people ,., said Diana Mekel. Although praise was given to Greenwood some members ex-
pressed a feeling of unfairness towards her polic ies of at tendance at practice . "T he coach knows what she is doing ; she has taught us a lot. But she is anything but fair . She will start people who have missed practice over others who have been there. When questioned of this , she only said winning was more important," said Diane Corallo . The highlight of many team members and the coach was the game against Beaver College on Oct. 21. "In the Beaver game the team played very well as a unit ," said Regina Law. "In the game against Beaver College , our stickwork and aggressiveness improved 100 % where we had lots of opportunities to score, " said Elaine Esgro. "I was pleased with the Beaver game; I thought we had improved
Volleyball team fights on despite strong competition BY MARY COLLINS Cabrini College's women ' s volleyball team is in a very competitive division according t o coach Helen Goodwin. The women 's volleyball team has pla yed competitive colleges such as : Pharamacy , LaSalle , Villanova , and Drexel. Due . to tough and experienced competition , Cabrini 's record is 3 wins and 11 losses . Cabrini played Drexel University Oct. 24, 1980 in Cabrini's gym. Drexel seemed to over power Cabr ini by capability and skill . The firs t two sets went to Drexel
greatly, " said Greenwood . Mary Collins was singled out as the most improved player of the team . "Collins ' timing was off in the beginning but through practice and game participation her hand , eye coordination has improved . Changing from softball to field hockey is similar but yet difficult because you use the same essentials in a different manner," said Greenwood . Since women's field hockey is a new sport here at Cabrini , many fans turned out for the first game . ·•1 could not believe that there were so many fans at the game . They really hefp the team by giving support," said Law . " The students are really great. Our first game had a ver ·y large au dience . The audience decreased a little at each game. As for the cheerleaders , I won't sa y what I think ," said Corallo .
