Campus chaplain to be reassigned BY MARIE PIZZUTO
At the close of the Spring 1980 semester, a weH-known and beloved member of the Cabrini Community will be leaving. Jack Replogle, S.J., campus chaplain, has -been asked by his provincial superior to return to the New York metropolitan area to be reassigned. "I love it here. The people are marvelous. I would prefer not to go," Fr. Replogle said. · In March 1977,when he got per. mission to stay at Cabrini another year, Fr. Replogle was told of his eventual reassignment. "I've known about the possibility for so long that I've gotten used to it," Fr. Replogle said.
Fr. Replogle expressed the desire to maintain at least a parttime affiliation with the college, but added, "Since I'm not sure where I will be assigned, it's hard to say when I can visit." The administration intends to try personal contacts first to find a new chaplain, and failing that, a search committee will be formed, according to Sr. Sharon Morano, dean of students. "I feel a deep sense of loss because I established a close relationship with Jack. He's been very supportive to me. Since I've had involvement in the campus ministry at other colleges, I've had a vantage point of seeing a lot of campus ministries. What Jack's
brought to us is really something special," said August Nicoletti, director of resident life.

Detsy Lynch, president o SGA, said, "I know the administration will miss him, but the students are going. to miss him the most. He's provided a feeling of campus unity with all the activities he's been involved with, especially the campus Ministry Association." The Campus Ministry Association is an organization initiated by Fr. Replogle . "I guess what everyone else is hoping and what I'm hoping is that who ever replaces him does half as good a job. Besides being a priest he's been a friend to everyone. I hope he comes back to visit us," Christopher Collins, vice-president of the sophomore class, said. "I think this is a marvelous place. Just in the two years I've been here, I've seen a lot of great

The administrations' point throughout the debate was that registration is not a draft. They are not asking for a resumption of a draft, but that registration capability must be kept up so that we may stay on top of the changing world. "The decade ahead will be a time of rapid change, as nations · everywhere seek to deal with new problems and age old tensions," said President Carter. .To understand the registration issue more clearly we must remember there are two sides, both worth hearing and evaluating. It is up to the American people, all of them, in every age group, to weigh the pros and cons of such a volatile proposal. The question. is not one that can be resolved without a great deal of thought and contemplation. President Carter in a meeting with non-Washington editors and News Directors on Jan. 29, 1980, was posed the question, "Mr. President, are you going to ask Congress to draft my daughter?" ·In response to this the President said "I don't have any intention at this time to reinstitute the draft. As I said in my State of the Union message, I believe, and I think those were the words I used, that the present volunteer force is adequate. But I think it is good for us to take precautionary steps in revitalizing the Selective Service itself and commencement of registration for the draft." Continued en Page 3

Registration . . .
Is it necessary? President Carter's proposal to reinstate registration for a possibl e draft has caused uproars on many coll ege campuses across the nation . Because of the sensiti ve nature of this issue and its direct impact on coll ege age men and women it has become the main topic of conversation in both the cafeteria and dormitories . Unfortunately , due to both the media and general heresay many students are misinformed and confused over exactly what Carter 's proposal constitutes . It is hard to determ ine who to believe when White House officials say one thing and anti-draft demonstrators claim another . Whether or not Congress decides to pass the proposal and appropriate the necessary funds is not the main issue but rather why Carter called for mandatory registration in the first place . Was it because he believed that the Soviet Union 's actions in Afghanistan posed a threat to our national interests and economic welfare or was this issue simply used to stir up Ameri can sentiment and patriotism ? For until Carter is able to answer this question and state in clear and concise terms the rationale behind his proposal he will find that students on the whole are going to be more likely to demonstrate than to cooperate. If Carter really wants the American youth to support and comply with him in his efforts to reinstate registration he must be willing to confide in them .

However, Morano also said that the General Student Services "aren't adequate and we will have to work on that ." Also Morano said that the committee saw the growth of Cabrini's Continuing Education as "a good outgrowth, where we hope to handle the needs of the · non-traditional students more." "The Student Personnel Service Committee is mainly an evaluation and planning," Dr. Joseph Romano said. Romano is the chairperson of the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee oversees the student Personnel Service Committee. Romano also said that the administration "left it up to Student Government to pick the students." The students include: Detsy Lynch, junior, business communications major; Kathy Chelius, junior, education major; Donna ·Montanari, junior, education major ; Salvatore Barbuscio, senior, history major . The other members include :
Morano, Dean of Students ; Helen Goodwin, assistant professor of physical education; Mary Mulligan, campus nurse; Jack Replogle, campus minister; Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life; JoAnn McGuigan, continuing education liaison; and William Kuhns, assistant professor of education . Romano said that for the next . five years the projections he would like to see are new academic programs, human service programs, computer science and a concentration in the business field. He also said that he hopes that greater internships will develop over the next five years . He said he also hopes the committee will make ' recommendations to revitalize social concern. Morano said that the Student Personnel Service Committee will reconvene on March 1, 1980and at that time will submit their reviews and recommendations to the Steering Committee.
Class elections come to an end BY REGINA O'LEARY It took two runoff elections but the class elections are finally completed. Donna Montanari defeated Mike Stevens for vice-president of the junior class and Lourdes Latorre was victorious over Jim Amalfitano for sophomore class secretary. After the first runoff, there was anticipation on behalf of the sophomore nominees. "I'm glad I had a chance. I was surprised," said Latorre . "I felt good after the first runoff," said Amalfitano. "I thought I was going to lose completely .'' The second runoff left more hope for each of them. "I was shocked," .said Latorre . "I didn't feel that there was that much indecision in the class ." Amalfitano said, "My hopes pulled up. I guess that it ended by being a popularity contest." Stevens didn't think that the junior elections were concluded by popularity. I'm not a popular type of person and neither is Donna Montanari. Donna is as capable as anybody else." After the second runoff of each class, the elections seem to have gotten- somewhat tedious. "A few wished that Jim and I would have been secretary together just to end the runoff," said the newly elected Latorre. "We will still work together as in the past. Proof of our cooperation was the flower sale. It showed great involvement ·or the class," said Latorre. The runoffs left Montanari confused. "I didn't understand the voting procedures percentagewise. No one told us why or what you had to win by. It caused activities to be postponed and we are behind schedule ," said Montanari. Montanari hopes to bring the junior class out of their reputation of 'apathy.' As new vice-president, she has hig~ hopes for h~r class. "I see more support from the junior class in these elections . Before, you would see the same faces in the same activities and now~ W<11tre<tStartingto see new ones," said Montanari.

It's never too late to learn BY MARY LANCE
-
For a lesson in positive thinking and determination contact Mrs . Dorothy Tolhurst, one of Cabrini's more unusual students. Proud of her 70 years, she is cheerfully carrying five courses and has set 1985 as her goal for her proposed doctoral thesis. Tolhurst's motivation for studying for a degree is her desi re · to write a book and she feels that without a degree her writings woul~ not be taken seriously. Her
application to join the Peace corps (to which she felt she had much to contribute) had been turned down for lack of a degree . This rebuff made Tolhurst decide to take a night course at Philadelphia Community College (P .C.C.) in advanced psychology. An A grade encouraged her to take more c_ourses in which she again excelled. After two years at P .C.C. Tolhurst had to decide where to transfer. AtP.C .C. she met Joseph Romano who was representing
Cabrini College in a transfer liasion capacity. Romano was able to offer a personalized major that " picked up all the loose ends of things I was interested in," Tolhurst said . " I always precede everything I do with prayer and it's uncanny the way things come together ." She knew at once that all the instruction she needed was available at Cabrini. Majoring in philosophy and religion, Tolhurst is also taking courses in French and social science . Religion 106 • Introduction to the New Testament - offers, she says, a different slant which she finds very appealing . "If the courses had been tailor -made they couldn't have been any better . I'm loving. every minute of it," she said, adding that theories she has long held are being confirmed as she learns. Because her home is in North East Philadelphia, Tolhurst faces a long journey to Cabrini, but this is put to good use. She learned to meditate many years ago - long before it became fashionable - and empties her mind of "everything that clutters it ." She finds that while meditating she generates ideas that "just pop into my mind from nowhere."

For her Ph.D . thesis Tolhurst hopes to tie in today's science and technology with the Bible, especially the Old Testament, and is confident she can do it. After that she will start working on her book. Tolhurst denies that there is anything special about her. In her opinion everyone else could do the same if they wanted to. "If Grandma Moses can start painting in her 70's I don't see why I shouldn't start writing in my70's," she said.
What do you think? Reporter Detsy Lynch and photographer Kitsy Humes asked the question " Do you support President Carter's proposal calling for registration of all 19 and 20 year-olds?
' 'I 'm really not in favor of the way Carter called for the registration in his State of the Union address but if it comes to the point of a draft I would go." Jim Lawlor Sophomore
"Yes, I do support registration but I think that the age group should be expanded . Ju st because there 's a registration doesn 't mean there's going to be a war ." Jo Schwoyer Sophomore
" I'm against it. I don't think we should have to fight for something that does(l 't directly affect us." Franny Carusi Sophomore
" I support President Carter 's registration proposal, but I 'm not in agreement with his decision of blocking it off to that age group . If he wants the American people behind him, he should register all men and women between 18-26. It seems now he is segregating the youth of America ." Mary Goldner Junior
"I refuse to take a definite stand. Intellec tuall y I re alize his proposal is necessary , and yet emotionall y it fright ens me. If the registration did lead to the draft , I feel the psychological effects on Amer ica 's youth would be devastating ." Judy Hammet Sophomore
" Yes , I think everyone should support it. I really don't think we're going to war . It's just a matter of strategy --what we have to do ."
Students host training sessions BY THERESA COLLINS Did you ever wonder where the participants of the Special Olympics receive their training? Well, if you look around campus on any. Saturday afternoon you are sure to find at least six children training and practicing for their next Olympic event. Mike Sulewski, coordinator of the Special Olympic program at Cabrini, and co-workers Anne ' Marie Kistner, Kathy Mignogna and Roxanne Lucchesi use their spare time to coach Olympic participants in various sports such as basketball, volleyball, bowling, and field and track. These training
sessions prepare the participants for any local or state meet that they have qualified for. When Cabrini hosted its first Run, Dribble, and Shoot meet last year, Sulewski; and Kistner decided to work with a small group on occasional Saturdays . As the year progressed they decided to host the programs on a weekly · basis. "Cabrini," Sulewski stated, "is the only school in the area to host such a program." At present, Sulewski, Kistner, Mignogna and Lucchesi are preparing for the Winter Olympics to be held during · the first week of
March and the Run , Dribble, and Shoot on March 29. After these two events there will be two more Saturday programs and the Special Olympic summer camp will begin. In order to advertise events and meetings, Sulewski ordered a sign, from the Special Olympic sign company, that presently rests on the front lawn of Sacred Heart Hall. According to Sulewski, attendance at meetings have improved and there are more people willing to help. "The greatest advantage of the sign," Sulewski stated, "is that people are becoming more aware of us."
Now it's your turn girls BY DETSY LYNCH
Have you ever wanted to go up to a guy and ask him out? Well, today's your chance. Sadie Hawkins Day, Feb. 29 comes every four years and is a popular British tradition which has spread throughout Europe and eventually came to America . "Whether or not Sadie Hawkins ever existed the legend has been carried out till this day," said Carter Craigie, social science. chairperson.
" She organized a group of girls in the Appalachian mountains who started the tradition of proposing to their boyfriends . Those who were married were allowed to command their men around and even beat them ," said Carter . "But this rarely happened due to the fact that for the next 364 days the guy was in control," he said . Al Capp picked up on this mounta in legend and popularized it in America through his comic strip " Li' I Abner ."
"Although most Americans do not take the legend seriously but rather joke about it, in countries such as Calyso, Trinidad, it is strictly adhered to" said Carter. To try and correct that attitude the Sophomore Class is celebrating a Sadie Hawkins Day with a country style dinner in the cafeteria and dance in the gym . So, if you're in the mood to be daring tonight here's your chance-grab it while you can. For after all it only comes once every four years.

Student D.J. sets the mood BY OLIVIA PETTENGILL
"Music is just half of everyone, just to dance, and just to have some fun," said Sulamon Allyn as he enthusiastically spoke about his hobby of being a disc j9ckey. Allyn, the newly elected president of the freshman class, has been pursuing this hobby since the age of fourteen. A native of South West Philadelphia, Allyn started being a D.J. at parties in the homes of friends and neighbors. As his 'interest in disc jockeying grew, and as he developed a technique uniquely his own, Allyn began to advertise his talent, and as a result he developed a good reputation for himself. High school dances and social functions gave him an opportunity to broaden his audience and refine his techniques. In the short time he has been here at Cabrini, he has already been recognized as being the best D.J . on campus. Allyn's talent and uncanny ability to mix music paid off for him last year. While spinning records at his .high school Christmas dance, he was approached and offered a summer job by a gentleman from the Brown's Resort in upstate New York, near the Catskill Mountains. Allyn accepted the job offer and spent a rewarding summer pursuing his favorite pasttime. His room and board were free and his days were his to do whatever he wanted to do. But at night, when the lights were turned down and the music was turned up, Sulamon Allyn would perform the magic of mixing the songs and the beat to create an atmosphere of pure fun and excitement. He not only got paid for his job, but he thoroughly enjoyed it as well. · Was he scared or nervous to be in the spotlight leading a group ot total strangers? Not really. Allyn says, "There's always the feeling of how the crowd is going to react
to you, wheth~r it's a new cro·,vctqr an old crowd." Because he does it for fun, Allyn doesn't think about being nervous. Not just anyone could get up in front of a crowd and be a disc jockey. Allyn explains, "You've got to have a feeling for the music. A D.J. should never play what he wants to hear. He has to play songs · to create the right atmosphere." Being able to get into the beat of the music and at the same time get a feeling for what the crowd wants to hear takes practice. Allyn says no two parties will ever be alike, even if the same people come to both parties. The people change in moods, likes, and dislikes, and in their general outlook on things . This is what many D.J.'s faff to realize, according to Allyn. They expect every crowd to want the same kind of music and comments over the air. Allyn has learned to treat each group as a totally new group, and in that way he has been able to feel the mood and create the proper atmosphere with his spinning records and witty comments. Although he says he cannot sing or even hold a note, Allyn has become very successful at making other people get into the mood and beat of music and fully enjoy themselves. Allyn says he could never be a D.J. on the radio because he likes to be right in lhe middle of the action and see how people react to his music mixing. "I love to see people enjoy themselves," he says. Just listening to him talk, anyone can tell that Allyn really likes this hobby of his and that he is very good at what he does. Aside from being freshman class president and a successful D.J., Allyn, a 1 business major, is also the vicepresident of the Living Arts Society here at Cabrini. He says that he is currently trying to build up the organization with new members and more activities.
Two head for .med school BY JIM LAWLOR Two senior biology majors from Cabrini have been accepted into medical schools. M-ike Glacken will pursue an M.D. at Temple University starting in September. Brian Gould will attend Ohio University in pursuit of a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.) By coincidence, the two were accepted within twelve hours of one another. On Friday, December 11, Gould received a call from home, . where the letter of acceptance was sent. Mike Glacken received his letter in the mail the next morning, according to Gould. "It was good in the sense that we had taken the MCATs together, and a couple of courses, too," said Gould. According to Glacken, there are four considerations for entrance into medical school, GPA, MCAT scores, letters of recommendation, and a personal interview. Letters were written for the two by Joseph Romano, academic dean; John DeTurck, professor of biology and pre-medical advisor; and by Dorothy Brown, former academic dean at Cabrini, now President of Rosemont College. Glacken also received letters from Anna Kruse, biology _chairperson; and from Joseph Feighan, chemistry chairperson. Gould obtained
additional letters from Arthur Young and Anthony Tomasco. Both Gould and Glacken feel that letters weigh very heavily on admission decisions, and hence are very grateful to their letter writers . The interview is the final step in the application process. According to Glacken, his interview was very smooth because his interviewer was easy to talk to, although he did ask tough questions. Gould said he had three interviews. Two of them were with administrators from Ohio University, which went very well. His third interview was with the director of admissions, which he describes as "horrendous." Gould said, "I had to explain, qualify, or clarify every word out of my mouth." Both Gould and Glacken feel that their acceptance is as much a tribute to Cabrini as it is to them personally.
Glacken said "The combination of high academics and close faculty relationships unique to Cabrini was the prime factor in my acceptance." Gould agrees and adds, "I think the biology program here is very competitive with the pre-med programs in the area."

Theater Internships BY KATHY BRUST
John Gallagher, '80, and Keith Hickman, '81, are gaining first hand experience in theater production this semester with The People's Light and Theater Company. Gallagher and Hickman are participating in a theater internship with The People's Light and Theater Company of Chester County. This is a non-profit, repertory, professional theater company. The theater internship is under the direction of the English and Communications Department. Dr . Jerome Zurek, chairperson of the department, said that the theater internship was part of the expanding theater program at Cabrini. Presently the internship with The People's Light and Theater Company concentrates on production; set construction, lighting, sound and costuming. It may progress to the point where Gallagher and Hickman may be able to do some acting with the company later in the semester. Hickman said that he and Gallagher didn't really know what to expect and neither did The People's Light and Theater Company.
"It's good to get off campus for
three days a week." Hickman said. Gallagher and Hickman work on their internship Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, every week.
Hickman said that they might be asked to stay on at the end of the semester. "It is a trial and error effort right now." said Hickman . Hickman says that basically they are doing the same things that they did for Daniele Perna, Cabrini theater director. "We've done set construction and mailing lists ." Hickman said. According to Hickman they may also be joining some of the company's acting classes . Hickman also said that the people who are a permanent part of the group have been really nice. The theater internship may be expanding in the future, according to Zurek. Zurek says that he is interested iii developing an internship with the emphasis on business and management in theater. A future internship might possibly include an internship with a dinner theater or maybe one of the big theaters in Philadelphia. "An internship in New York might not be out of the question if they have the ability ." said Zurek .

Moving into the 'So'·s BY DIANA McSWEENEY It's time to wipe that slate clean, shake off the old decade, and get ready to make a fashion statement for the eighties . That sense of being dictated to as far as what to wear and what not to wear has left with the seventies. What's right for you is definitely the emphasis of the eighties. Freedom, individuality, and being comfortable in what you're wearing are the ground rules for the coming fashion decade. To get an idea of how Cabrini women felt about the changes the next few years would bring I spoke to a few to see what they look forward to in the eighties and what they were glad to leave behind in the seventies. Donna Montanari, junior: "I like to ·mix dressy clothes with sporty clothes. I like the tailored look, but then I also like baggy jeans. I definitely think we're going to coordinate varying colors and not try to match shades as closely as we have." Terri McGovern, junior: "I like tailored looks but I don't like baggy, especially baggy jeans . I think layering clothing is very attractive. I'd like to see the return of flatter shoes but I'd like to see textured stockings go. I don't like
overstated dressing and I don't like artificiality." Tanya Nelson, junior-: "I like khaki pants and pleated skirts because I think they work well at any time of the year . I like bulky sweaters because they can dress up a pair of jeans . I'd like to see skirts a little softer, not quite so tight and I'd like to see the slits on dresses not as high ." Most people have very definite feelings on fashion but have trouble tying their likes and dislikes together . This problem can be solved by flipping through a few magazines and getting an idea of what is going to work in the eighties. The most important aspect of fashion is you. Take the time to learn what looks well on you and what doesn't. Try to keep in mind that how you look from the back is every bit as important as how you look from the front. Rummage through your closet and see if anything you really don't wear anymore can be discarded. If that option isn't feasible for you try to incorporate some of the old with the new. On a college budget trial and error in buying new clothes can be an expensive way to learn a lesson.
When yo·u do go shopping experiment with different looks trying on, eventually you'll find your clothing niche and learn what to stay away from. Avoid indiscriminatie buying, purchase things that will work well with the clothes you already own. In the eighties there is going to be an increased emphasis on femininity . According to Carrie Donovan, of the New York Times, "Tailored clothing is loosening up. While no one imagines that American women will part with the jackets and pants that are the mainstay of many wardrobes, the new versions are definitely softer." Essentially, we have the same clean lines we enjoyed in the latter part of the seventies, but less structured. Take that favorite blazer and break up its severity with a ron:iantic, frilly blouse or, a loose, flowing skirt. Look over a few of these hints, select what's right for you and you'll already have taken a step in the right direction. Awareness is definitely the key to the eighties . Soft, subtle, and pulled together . Pull it off and the eighties just might be the decade to lnake your fashion statement.
Tom Sawyer steams north BY MARY LANCE
The charming classic tale of Tom Sawyer is making its debut at Cabrini's Little Theater this weekend, March 1. "It looks back to the American heritage of the pioneer days on the banks of the Mississippi river when life was sweet and simple," said Daniele Perna, explaining why the theater students enjoy and relate well to Mark Twain's amusing story. Perna considers that the acting is difficult and the characterization a real challenge. THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN MET. I wandered into the theater one day during rehearsal (although rehearsals are not open to visitors) and there · was Tom Sawyer ( Keith Hickman) painting an imaginary fence while his friends ( Jerry Perna and John Vermeal) mocked. Instantly I was transported to the enchanting world of mischievous small boys who are full of energy, humor and original sin. Jerry Perna, playing Huck Finn, said of the production, "It's been a very good learning experience for me . I'm being pushed into doing things I didn't think I could do." Most of the characters in "Tom Sawyer" have been double and triple casted . Becky Thatcher will be played by Mary Alice Fitzpatrick and Dona Monforto, Reverand Thatcher • Ed Cunningham, Mr. Dobbins • John Yheaulon, Widow Douglas · Cathy Sullivan and Shawn Stetser. The role of Mrs . Harper is portrayed by Angela Conte (-Art Director) and Mary C. Goldner, Injun Joe • Tony Ciro and John Gallagher. Four young women have been cast for Aunt Polly, Tom's guardial), Maria Gentile, Judy Guido, Joan Smith ( Assistant Director) and Connie Aiello.

Cavalier drums up spirit BY KITSY HUMES
Ever wonder how the Cabrini Cavalier came into being? It all started four years ago when Dr. Jolyon P. Girard and Helen Goodwin, athletic directors for Cabrini, decided on a mascot for the college. Names arose such as the hilltoppers , because the college was located on a hill, the crows, because of the amount of crows on campus, the crusaders and finally the cavaliers . Dr . Marilyn Johnson , professor
of English , donated the first costume which consisted of a jacket , a pair of pants and black boots. All the preparations for the costume were complet~d and in January of 1977, Mary Di Joseph became the first ever to perform the duties of the Cavalier. Leslie Hickman took over Di Jo seph's duties from 1977-78 which consisted of showing up for every home game and leading the cheers exclaimed from the crowd. Today Lorraine Harris carries on the tradition. How did Harris
get the job? "I knew Leslie was graduating soon and I figured they needed someone, so I talked to Dr . Girard about the idea and he agreed to Jet me be the cavalier ." A new costume was designed this year by Harris' mother which now consists of a royal blue jacket with gold sequins , a white ruffled sh_irt and white tights . "It's really alot of fun . I like providing spirit at the games along with the cheerleaders and the crowd as well, said Harris."

Students coaching BY MARIANN DEMARIA
"Foul's on number 23," " You 're out, " "Strike three," "TOUCHDOWN ." These sayings maybe familiar to many, but to three Cabrini students it means hard work and a matter of winning or losing a game. One might think that an official would have hardly anything to do, but Mike Sulewski, junior, who officiates football, basketball, lacrosse, softball and baseball, says "I have to attend two meetings a week from 7:00 to 9:30, where we go over strange plays · from past games and how we took . care of the situation. Then we review two chapters in our books . I also have to go attend meetings from August first to the middle of November." Sulewski also has to officiate Monday and Thursday afternoon games, Friday night games, and up to four games on Saturday afternoon . Sulewski admits this rough schedule has hurt him in his school work. Maureen Williams, junior, who officiates women's CYO basket-
ball , seems to have it eas y compared to Sulewski 's schedule says , "The season I'm in didn 't start yet. It's just a few hours a night, in which I have two games ." Both Williams and Sulewski have to take acceptance exams . Williams has to take a practium, along with a regular exam. Sulewski has one open book exam and the later on a regular exam is given . Mary Collins, freshmen and coach of two softball teams, doesn't have to take exams or attend meetings, but she has to be.. able to control girls from 5th to 8th grade and from 8 to 14 years old . "I talked my mother into coaching . Then she couldn't do it anymore, so I took over," Collins says. "One of the teams I coach, St. Donato's, figured, why should they listen to me because I was a kid and all the olders girls wanted to take over. Finally they realized I wasn't joking around," Collins said. Other than St. Donato's , Collins also coaches a summer league team. Collins doesn't mind coaching taking up most of her time because she "enjoys it."

On Friday, February 15 at 7:00 p.m ., Cabrini College hosted its first Alumni basketball game with an Alumni party immediately following. Mike Walczak, class of '77, Martha Dale, Alumni officer on campus, Dr. Jolyon Girard, Helen Goodwin, Cindi DeRitis, and Maria Pia Carusi helped organize the affair. .,I think, if this goes over well, that it will be one major step toward develop ing a better understanding between the Alumn i and ..., the cwu:i1t. ..uiden.s, ~·say~ _Mltria

·Cabrini sports fans dedicated BY MARIANN DeMARIA
Basketball season seems to bring the shyest people out of their shells . One would never think that fans get just as upset as players do if a bad call is made or the team loses a game, but they do. "When they play a really good team and they lose I honestly don't get mad. When they Jose to a team that I know they can beat, I really get mad because they all try to be a one man team,'' Rita Calicat, freshman said.
The fans seem to be really loyal to the Cavalier basketball team . Whether they have a winning or losing season, fans will always be there. "I think if you're going to support a team you have to show them encouragement even if they have a losing season . You have to · let them know they're not along," said Dan Keating. But why do they show up in the first place? Is it because they have nothing better to do or is it they just want to socialize? Not to Tami McEntee, sophomore who said, "I
love the sport of basketball and I like to see our guys play." Nancy Sullivan, senior, feels the same way but also likes the night out. Rain or shine, snow or sleet, home or away, there are two fans who never miss a Men's Basketball game, Kathy and Dan Keating. Dan enjoys the game of basketball, and they both enjoy seeing John, starting sophomore on the men's team. Dedication, well that's what the Cavaliers fans seem to be; ,dedicated to their teams.
