Business administration :: ·~ growing maior

BY JEANNE PROKO A gradual shift from Liberal Arts to Business Administration is becoming apparent in the choice of majors by students at Cabrini.

Business Administration over the years has emerged as a ma jo r with beneficial and practical uses .

Edward Christ, assistant professor of business adminis tration, feels that ~tudents are taking business for ' 'the best and worst of reasons. ' ' He said, ' 'The best of reasons is for the spiritual and mental de velopment that must be m~tched against living."

He continued, "The worst of reasons, if you could call it that, is to get a better job ."

Christ believes the reason for the shift could be the age ·which we are living in now. After World War II, people were majoring more in liberal arts and psychology . They thought they could make it a better world by under standing humanity better . Christ said that "now thoughts have shifted. " Cathy Sullivan, a senior Business Administration major. said,

" I want · to go further with bus iness . I wan t to make mone y."

She added that the Business Administration majors are n't looking for those •'sacrifice jobs with low pay and gratification of their job. " Sulli van made a comment t hat Chr ist had added earlier , '' The B.A.majors are looking out for themselves ."

• At Cabr ini , the number of B.A. majors has steadily increased proportionally with the en rollment : Senioli - 11.s· Jw1iors - 26 Soph - 31.5' Fi-esh-23 Toml - 98 The. roll of women entering into the business world has increased also .

Community-based ·program partly funded BYMEGSLOOK Cabrini College recently received a gift of $15,000from Sun Company for support of the new Community-Based Management Service Program .

The program teaches a combination of humanity services and management skills .

The program, which is still in the planning stage, was being coordinated by Ann Kennedy, assistant professor of special education; Ruth Sower, assistant professor in special education; Joseph

Romano, vice president of academic affair's and John He iberger , vice president for development and public relations, until Sept. 21 when the official progr am coordinator, Nancy Chaddock , arrived.

There is presently a great need for a program of this type . The trend of mainstreaming previously institutionalized people back into society has increased the number of group home and introduced the need for business managers as well as trained managers in

human services .

According to Kennedy , "Large institutions are no longer prime suppliers of care for the elderly and handicapped . CommunityBased Management Service with emphasis on the development of client skill is the current trend . " Community-Based Management Services may be offered in the fall of 1982 but no definite plans have been made. At present , the program is still in the planning stage .

The program itself will consist of 40 credits in four areas of study :

business, social work, special education and psychology . As group homes are developed, a person must create a budget , choose insurance and deal with various types of law suits .

Heiberger thinks that of the utmost importance, "People managing community services deal with a great many business problems for which they have not been properly trained."

In addition to the program, workshops will be offered for both college students and individuals

presently working in related fields-. Workshops will discuss problems and 'burnout ,' the frequent termination of human service jobs as a result of emotional and physical strain . Internship for work in group home and smaller facilities may also be offered with the program .

The program is presently receiving input for improvements from faculty members and an advisory board of workers in related fields .

.Cabrini's Catalog, No place ~o be found \

FRIDAV, OCT9BEQ..1J,, 1981

New managers

-BY BRIAN P. JENSEN I couJ<1not neip but to rebut the opinion of an editor as it appeared in the previous issue of this publication. This interested student, like so many other well meaning Americans blasted the economic policies of President Ronald Reagan .

Such criticism is easy to under stand because the President is largely responsible for cumng the many programs that thousands of Americans have taken advantage of over the years.

When people are used to getting things with minimal effort that benefits their special interests it is only natural for them to be upset when such charity is reduced or taken away .

The result is opinion pages in college newspapers that personally insult Reagan by calling him an actor (very original) and accusing him of manipulating the majority of Americans to believe in policies that will hurt them .

Improve caf. food

Such malarkey is usually written by concerned individuals who are well meaning, but without understanding.

The sight of a Cabrini catalog on campus before spring registration is a rare one. If you are seen with one in hand you are automatically assumed to be a high school senior .

If you cast your eyes upon one at all you are considered to be noble indeed. Just what these high school seniors have that Cabrini students don't we haven't figured out yet. We know we had these same powers before our acceptance to college, but maybe we lost them somewhere along the way to becoming freshmen.

Are these powers gone forever? Will we never again be afforded the privilege of being inspired by the President's welcome letter? Will we never again know when the Dean's Fall Holiday is before it is over?

What are we to tell our advisors when they ask us if we understand the policy of adding and dropping courses? "It's in the catalog you say, I'm sorry - what catalog?"

Yes, there are a noble few. Some have caught a glimpse of the blue-green catalog with the catchy photograph and white lettering on the cover. It took much work to put together that book, a book that would be a "bestseller" on Cabril;li's campus.

It's just a shame that we can't read this "bestseller" while it's still "hot off the press ."

As we are no longer being treated to such temptuous delights as fish and liver for dinner, both on the same night, we wondered if they didn't change the food service without telling anyone.

After all, it is a bit unusual to eat normal food in this cafeteria as opposed to the usual wild concoctions that someone back in that kitchen kept dreaming up, like Alpo and tasted more like Gravy Train.

All right, you skeptics . We agree the food still isn't exactly home cooking, but there is no such thing as a perfect cafeteria.

Anyone here last year knows that this year's food is a major improvement over last year's. The major problem was in getting Seiler's to serve more of the basics, like roast beef, chicken, turkey, ham and hot sandwiches.

We are glad to see that these foods, that were once considered gourmet, are now available and fit for human consumption. One reason for the improvement might be that we have a new food manager more capable than the others. Another reason might be that thre is a recent graduate on the staff who was once a student and knows what we like.

The biggest problem seems to be not with the food itself, but with getting it before fainting from hunger pains. However , this is not Seiler's responsibility but that of those who plan, sometimes not very well, how many students to accept and how to accommodate everyone . But that's an issue for a future editorial.

We hope Seiler 's can keep up the good work . We'll certainly let them know about it if they don't.

Advisor: Jerome Zurek

This country is now in a time of major transition . As with all changes , many people question the convictions of the " changers," especially when these people haven't the foresight to see the innvestment of the change.

Ronald Reagan is a man of foresight that can see great advantages resulting for our present difficult transition . He sees that chopping the budget is an important first step in curing the ills of an unhealthy economy.

Reagan also knows that cutting programs is essential to get inefficient government out of the lives of people who wish to be free . It is imperative that Americans begin to realize that the federal government does not ex ist to provide and finance every service that someone might need in life. Too many people assume these services as a basic right.

This is clearly wrong.

Individuals must learn to help themselves . They must stop expecting the government to adhere to their every need .

The editor 's statement that the abuses of social services in this country are "the mistakes of a relative few" is inaccurate, to say the least .

Too many people in this country live by the belief that they shouldn't work when they can make more money by staying home .

Those who do choose to work are the ones that suffer because their taxes aid the thousands that receive social services as a living income. That kind of system is down right stupid and it must be changed.

Ronald Reagan knows all too well the unfairness and ineffi-

Chris Collins, senior

I think a teachers' strike anywhere is pretty depressing. The teachers are hurting the students and that's wrong . Any teacher knows that they're working to help the students and this strike is not helping them at all. I don't think it's fair to the students or to the teachers themselves to get dragged into our society's hangups over money.

Lourdes Latorre, senior I don't think the school board is really con-

sidering the children. They're just dragging this strike out and right now nothing good is coming out of it . What have they accomplished?

Larry Conroe, freshmen

The strike is hurting the students . It's caused by a lack of compromise between the teachers and the school board . It is entirely the school board's fault.

Linda Dambacher, junior I think that the teachers go overboard . The

strike is definately hurting the children . The children are supposed to be the center of the school system, but what is happen ing is the teachers are becoming the center of the school system .

Marie Hoffman, sophomore

I don't think the teachers should strike, because it hurts the children . The children should come first. A teacher's responsibility is to educate children and how can the teachers do that if they're walking the pavement?

• Andrew J . Kitavec, assistant professor of Education; Coordinator of Elementary Education I'm opposed to strikes by public employees .

I would like to see Act 195 repealed and instead binding arbitration between teache rs ' organizations and local school boards take place, prior to September . A mediator could determine who's right. That way , kids wouldn 't be used as pawns and deprived of their education

ciency of this system . The result is a new policy designed to cut the benefits of those who have taken for so long , and to allow those who work to keep more of what they deserve .

Of course, there are those who sincerely need the benefits of social programs . I maintain however, that this group represents "the relative few."

Certainly, there is a great difference between the number of Americans that actually need social services, and the number of those that think they depend on these benefits.

Budget cuts might appear bad now to those who are used to

believing that they have a right to many services . However , the long range outcome of these cuts will benefit the majority .

People will begin to depen~ more on themselves than on a • huge inefficient government.

That is the way things should be.

Ronald Reagan is not trying to fool anyone . He is attempting to improve this country by stopping individuals from expecting a central government to provide everything for them .

It is a great shame that so many people are used to having benefits handed to them that way .

Planning committee looks to the future A college is like any other busiSr. Mary Louise Sullivan, MSC ness in that it is part of -a inpresident, of Cabrini College is in dustry.

For instance, there is a change int~ industry in that there is less Sullivan said the 1978 master plan has served the college well, government financial aid availbut all its goals have been able to college students. For a reached, and it is time to move on college to maintain its enrollment, it must find more non-governto a new model.

ment aid to offer prospective students. Accordingly, Sullivan said the first priority of the Master Planning Committee will be to develop scholarship funds to balance out the Reagan cuts.

Another change in the industry which the committee will have to be aware of is a shift in the population. Next year there will be 20 percent less 18 year-olds in the country than there are this year. That means 20 percent less prospective tuitions. To counter this, the population will be heavier with middle age and retired persons.

To adjust to these changes, the Master planning Committee will have to propose ways of expanding the Continuing Education Department so that possible losses in the day college will be balanced out by self enrichment, career enrichment, and second career types in the evening division. ' Another area the Committee will work on is the utilization of facilities in the summer months.

As Sullivan points out, there are seven air conditiondhouses, a cafeteria, a new campus center, and countless beautiful acres on campus. All of these would be

very attractive to groups having summer meetings and conferences. If the college can organize and market a program for that sort of summer utilization, it may reap a nice profit to defray other costs.

The new members invited are: Sr. Eileen Currie, dean of students; Sr. Toni Avitabile, registrar; Gus Nicoletti, director of resident life; Jim Keches, business manager; Marcy Nadel, assistant to the dean of students; Ruth Sower, special education; Frank Willard, admissions; Howard Buzzard, business; one student and one alumni.

Education maiors prqtest strike

BY MAUREEN CARROLL

The recent teacher's strike

by Philadelphia school teachers left parents and students up in arms and the teachers without an income.

The question asked by all, "When will it end?"

Strikes such as these might someday have direct effects on education majors at Cabrini.

Some senior education majors expressed their views.

Lisa Fitzgerald said, "The main concern should be the education of the children."

Elena Ambrogi feels that striking deprives the child and that it shows a lack of dedication on the part of the teacher.

"The strike makes me nervous," she said.

The names heard most often in the recent dispute are: James R. Melinson, chief negotiator for the school board; Michael Marcase, schools superintendent; John Murray, Philadelphia Federation of Teachers ( PFT) president; Edward Feehan, state mediator ; Mayor Bill Green; and Governor Dick Thornburgh.

According to the Oct. 4 issue of the Inquirer, the dispute arose last summer when the Board of Education made cuts to balance the budget. These involved 3,500 lay-offs, elimination of programs and not giving teachers the 10 percent increase they had been promised.

This is what caused the PFT to be in such an uproar.

Both Andrew Litavec, assistant professor of education, and William Kuhns, assistant professor of education, believe that it is a no-win situation for everyone involved .

Kuhns said, "There is too much politics involved."

"An independent body is needed," Litavec said . "As it stands now, the mayor has appointed the school board in Philadelphia. There should be binding arbitration at the beginning of the school year.

Then, the children will not be penalized.''

There is an obvious dichotomy inherent in all school strikes throughout the country - the teacher as a working individual who must look out for his own interests

United States thatloses ally Libya was involved. SpeculaBY JOYCE PATITUCCI and DEBBIE JABLONSKI

••

With a religious fanatic tyrannically ruling Iran, a military leader in Libya whose obsession with taking over the Moslem world · is comparable with that of Hitler's with Germany, and an Israeli ally who sold parts to Iran during the hostage crisis, the last thing the United States needed was to lose the last truly stable figure-head in . the Mideast. It will be some time before the effects and implications of the assasination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat are fully ' realized.

Although Sadat's regime was considered basically stable , the world's unfamiliarity with his likely successor, vice-president Hosni Murabak makes the waiting game all the more frightening .

The question most eminent in the minds of political leaders is • who and why? Another key ques- , tion is whether or not Sadat's assassination was merely a distr action from another scheme elsewhere in the world, such as possible Soviet intervention in Poland.

Certainly, the person foremost in the minds of President Reagan and his cabinet would be Libyan leader Muammar (@ddafi, but thus far there is nothing to indicate

tion also has it that the assassins could be political enemies of Sadat, though it was basically taken for granted that Sadat had none.

Today, no assassination attempt can take place without inference of Communist involvement, an allegation that would not be without basis in this case. Vice-president Murbarak received some of his military training in the USSR, according to a report in the Christian Science Monitor , but went along with Sadat's removal of all Soviet influence and personnel.

Sadat was never a great friend to the Russians, having recently narrowed Moscow's presence in Cairo to embassy officials only. On the other hand, Sadat, in the opinion of the Kremlin , helped the U.S. to monopolize Arab-Israeli relations .

Recently, TIME magazine called Israeli Prime Minister Monachem Begin the biggest threat to peace in the mideast.

Without Sadat , it is difficult to tell how effective the Camp David Peace talks can be, and whether they can ever be renewed . Also, with Sadat gone, President Reagan reamins as the most stable Soviet opponent left in the world , making his life seem even more threatened than before .

versus the need for the child's education. · The mathematics of this type of problem are not as solvable as we might hope . There are two sides of the coin, and depending what side one is on determines how a person will look at the situation .

In Philadelphi:-'s case, the ring had . : Marcase and Melinson in one corner, Murray in the other and Feehan as the conciliator. The fans consisted of teachers, parents and children. However there is no real winner in a battle like this, just losers.

Teachers lose out because they go unpaid by not working.

They are not doing what they want to do-namely teach .

Also, teachers lose the respect of their students, parents and the general public.

Children lose out because they are not getting an education which is vital to intellectual growth.

They both lose out because)t puts teachers and students up against one another when they should be working together.

Solidarity threatens Russia

BY JOHN P. GIRARD, Ph.D.

The Solidarity labor movement in Poland reflects serious political and economic problems in that Eastern European nation . As an internal issue, the powerful expression of labor unrest challenges and threatens traditional Communist Party leadership in Poland, and it calls for broad, innovative changes in Polish government and commerce .

News Analysis The Solidarity movement , however, remains ominous in another respect. The Soviet Union , Poland's eastern neighbor, and its powerful Communist "ally," shows a strong inclination to intrude in Poland's internal affairs to control the situation there . That involvement could mean military intervention and armed conflict.

The Soviet Union considers Eastern Europe crucial to its national security interests and has acted aggressively and openly to dominate that area of the world .

Following World War II , Soviet armies helped establish Communist regimes throughout Eastern Europe , and the government in Moscow has forcefully drawn the region into its political and econ-

omic orbit. Poland, the largest East European Soviet "satellite," is the most critical part of that network.

Last year, the Solidarity labor union uprising in Poland called open attention to serious problems in that nation. Its criticism of food shortages, poor working conditions , lack of real power in government , political oppression, and other expressed concerns helped to expand national appeal for the movement and its leaders .

Solidarity leader, Lech Walesa, became a national symbol of anger and outrage, and the Polish pe.ople applauded his efforts . With growing support in Poland , Solidarity leaders called for immediate, sweeping reforms and many of their demands threatened the continued control that the Soviet Union exercises over Poland and the Polish Communist Party .

The popular support for the Solidarity movement has prompted some changes in Poland , but the country 's political and labor leaders are extremel y sensitive to increased Soviet anger and frustration regarding the issue.

The Soviet Union stations larger numbers of military forces in Poland , it has conducted threatening naval manuevers off Poland's

north coast, and the Soviets plan major army exercises on the Polish border in October. Russian political leaders have privately and publicly warned the Polish to resolve their crisis without threatening the status quo.

What will happen if Poland does not respond to those firm Soviet signals?

It is difficult to predict. In the past, Russian military forces have invaded East Germany, Hungar y, and Czechoslovakia during similar internal upheavals in Eastern Europe . Those actions were quick, brutal , and decisive . The nations remain in the Soviet orbit and even publicly side with Russia in cr iticizing the Solidarity movement in Poland .

No one is more aware of the ominous potential of a Soviet military move than the Polish people .

As they strive to correct their own problems , Polish citizens must temper their domestic concern s against the real fear of a Soviet militar y invasion . To date , few of the protagonists involved are assured or confident of a peaceful solution to Poland 's problems.

A roar of laughter hits the stands! Thirty thousand pairs of eyes are glued on one figure doing cartwheels on the dugout, dancing crazily to "Whip-It, " chasing ballplayers with his little skooter and tormenting marching bands.

It could be only one figure causing so much trouble. He' s green, white, and red, wears his infamous baseball cap and enormous green sneakers. It could only be the Phillie Phanatic .

After several anxious phone calls and attempts to reach Chris Legault, secretary of promotions for the Phillies, contact was made and our interview was set for what turned out to be a rainy night at the Vet. As we entered the Philadelphia Phillies Executive Office, we were taken downstairs . For Sandra it seemed like another night of ushering at the Vet. But for me , it was if I were intruding into a sports world that I was only fa. miliar with from watching on a 12 inch TV. The next thing we knew, the elevator doors had opened , and standing in front of us was Dave Raymond , alias the Phillie Phanatic .

We began our interview in Raymond's chilly locker room where Raymond explained how the idea of the Phanatic was conceived .

The Phanatic was born in 1978.

the Phanatic Exe cutive office personnel re alized the fans would like a mascot and since there was the San Diego Chicken, why couldn't we have a mascot?

Contacts were made up in New York . After the third drawing of the Phanatic by Bonnie Erickson, changes were made, and the Phanatic looked somewhat as he does today .

Glancing at the Phanatic costume that was hanging up on the wall, Raymond explained that there were two others like it. The one we saw was the largest - 50 lbs. It was bigger than the other two , and made a better appearance out on the field . The other two, used for promotional appearances, weigh between 40-45lbs . The Phanatic receives a new costume every year .

Raymond is a full-time em ployee of the Phillies. He works 50-60 hours a week during the season and 45 hours off-season .

He makes approximately 250promotions a year as well as the 81 home games . He also travels with the team during the play-offs.

Ra ymond has never missed a game .

We asked Ra ymond if perhaps the Phanatic was his alter-ego . " In some ways I am, but we are separate entities , and if you 're good, it 's a totall y different personality ."

The Phanatic is an animated character , " like a mischievous young child-without his parents , able to do anythinng he wants ."

He explained tha t his stunts

are "spontaneous because the y get the most mileage ." " But sometimes those stunts don't always work out as planned. Once, while riding in the stands , he put his skooter into neutral and revved up the engine .

He hit the gear shift and the skooter and the Phanatic shot up • in the air . As Raymond got up , he saw gasoline leaking from the tank and a man smoking a cigarette close by.

Although Raymond never speaks as the Phanatic, he found , this time it was necessary . In a gravelly voice, he said, " Put that cigarette out !"

The Phanatic gets along well with the visiting teams , but it 's another story when he's around the umpires.

However, Raymond feels that the Philadelphia Phillies Na tional League Club is a •'super organization to work for . They allow me to do practicaly an ything I wan t. And that 's impo rtant , that the Phanatic has run of the field. " He smiled as he realized tha t he stills gets nervous . "Righ t before the fifth inning ," he said .

It 's funn y • it 's a habi t."

Like all other entertainers th e Phanatic receives his share of fan mail , including " some beau tiful poems and songs ." One tha t Ra ymond read aloud to us ended with this , " P .S. · Tell the big green duck that I love him ."

We'd like to give a specia l thanks to the Philadelph ia Phillies , Chris Legault and , of course , " the big green duck. "

TV- electronic religion

BY CAROL WAHL

What were your favorite televin shows when you were nger? The Three Stooges? rsky and Hutch?

Although these shows were among the highest rated for children, they were also the most violent. Not until recently have doctors researched the problem that these shows present.

One of the key researchers is Dr. George Gerbner, dean of the Annen burg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania. He gave a lecture at Cabrini on Oct. 8 co-sponsored by the psychology and Egnlish /Communications Departments . He is well known for his an nual surveys of violence on television and its effects on the public .

According to Dr . Mary Louise C. Sicoli , assistant professor in special education and psychology, "Gerbner has helped us realize that television doesn't just reflect reality ; it creates a reality all of its own. He (Gerbner) feels media engenders a feeling of powerlessness in people and that it really affects their feeling of control."

Gerbner found through his research that people who watch a

lot of violence on television believe they have a better chance of being victims of crime than do other people who watch lesser amounts of television violence.

Those who are likely to watch violent programs believe that they have a l-in-10 chance of being victims of crime when in reality, their chances are l-in-100.

Gerbner has published many articles concerning television's . effect on behavior and his definition of violence is used by many in the communications field .

He believes that television is a socializing agent. Children are born into a world that has television on almost all the time and that it tells them what to do and how to do it . .

Cognitive dissonance also plays an important part in his research.

In ot-her words, if a person hears something on the news that goes along with his or her personal opinions, then he or she will believe the report is right. If the report goes against what the person believes in , then he or she will call the report biased .

In Gerbner's opinion, television is an electronic religion , a common bond that many people share .

Kelly said that he likes Cabrini and feels that his years here were worthwhile . He remarked that if he had to do it all over again he wouldn't choose Cabrini because it is too small and inadequate . He would choose a larger school.

In the past semester, we have made several attempts to find . out the commuters concerns and interests . However, it is very difficult to do so when the attendance at commuter meetings is minimal.

Abuse an emotional

BY MAUREEN CARROLL "If a child lives with shame he

learns to feel guilty.'' 'l'his quote is exerpted from "Children Learn What They Live" by Dorothy Law Nolte.

Children can be shamed through physical and verbal punishment, and when this is taken to an extreme , it is known as abuse.

Marquita Williams, a senior social sciences major with a concentration in social work , goes to the Cape Child Abuse Prevention Effort every Wednesday.

Williams is a child care counselor and her job is to watch the children playing and observe whether or not they are developing normally . She makes a report on a child the first time she observes him and then does a follow-up report the next time she goes to the center . This determines whether the child has progressed or regressed.

The children at the center are either sent by the courts or the

parents bring them in voluntarily, according to Williams.

"Child abuse can be both phys ical and verbal,'' she said. ''This also includes not building up the self-esteem of the child."

Williams gave several reasons why parents abuse their children .

These include parents having a low self-esteem; there is a void in the parents' lives where they want their children to be par~ figures to them and the chil cannot handle that respo bility ; the parents were beaten as children and the child might remind them of an unwanted figure (for instance, an unwanted pregnancy).

The center services children up to 18-years-old . So far, Williams has worked with children between the ages of 11 months and 6-years-old.

"I've always enjoyed helping people, " she said . "I like to feel needed. Helping others gives me a sense of fulfillment."

Cartier-Bresson exhibit Inspires the photo club

BY DAVID MILBURN

•

Were you ever in a situation where life presented to you the most beautiful picture, and all you could say was, " I wish I had a camera? " Or maybe you did have a camera and made it ob• vious, so that when you were ready to shoot , all the beauty that was around disappeared out of st,ght?

There is only one solution to end this dilema once for all, and that is to experience the photography of the reknowned Henri Cartier -Bresson.

It was on Sunday, Sept . 27 that the Photo Club had the pleasure to observe over 150 photos which Bresson , chose for the exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of

Art . If there is anything one needs to know about Bresson, it is his brilliant mastery of the "decisive ·moment of truth" in photography.

Bresson expressed beautifully , in an interview with Maryanne Conheim for the Philadelphia In• quier , the dramatic impact that life conveys in only the briefest moment, the decisive moment . " Life is very fluid-well, some times the pictures disappear and there is nothing you can do. You can 't tell the person, 'Oh, please smile again . Do that gesture again .' Life is once , forever," he said.

After the experience of such an exhibit, one is given the luxury to reflect on life 's fleeting moments,

since it is perhaps most unusual or monumental.

As the Photo Club mused over the photographs, we could not help but get caught up in the geometry , the symmetry, the twists and turns, the noise, the ruins, the hope , the children in an adult world ; which only Bresson through photographs, was able to tell. The momentum grew when one member of the photo club suggested that each member pick three photos whi-eh left the most impact; and like a game we made our choices and discussed them .

The trip was then completed, as we walked out of the museum with a secret that we had to tell the rest of the world .

Mozes and Monsters

When a fantasy world becomes reality MAZES AND MONSTERS

by Rona Jaffe 2.48pp. New York: Delacorte Press

BY TAMRA DIMARINO

The popularity of fantasy games among high school and -eollege students has soared to great heights and reached a peak in the past few months.

"Mazes and Monsters," Rona Jaffe's eleventh book, lllustrates the recent controversies as to the harm fanatasy role playing games may have on young adults taking part in them.

The novel is centered around a college campus in Pequod, Pa. Grant University is portrayed as a normal school wtih "attractive young students preparing for life, " with the chance to fulfill the "American Dream ."

Jay Jay, Danial, Kate an<lRob• bie are just four students of many on their college campus, and many of them play the game. But these four are different; they find and a way to play Mazes and 1\fonsters (M & M) to make it _...., real."

Jli..1,._ At first they play the game m • Daniel's room. But when Jay Jay suggests the caverns, all agree that M & M has truly become a challenge .

Throughout the semester and over Christmas vacation, they continue to play. Several weeks before spring break, Kate 's romance with Robbie begins to wane . That 's all right, romances end . But when Robbie doesn 't come home for spring break, his parents begin to worry.

Back at school, at the end of

the holiday, Robbie is still missing . Now it seems to his friends that something is dreadfully wrong.

Robbie has been acting strange, differently, as if he was another person. But where could he have gone? Pardieu, the Holy Man, comes mto Kate's mind, then she realizes that Robbie must think he is the character in M & M. Robbie must have gone into the underground . caverns, long winding caves that are forbidden to enter, because of the two students who were lost and died there 33 years earlier.

Monsters and Mazes is a fantasy game played with the im. agination. Pencils, graph paper, dice and an instruction manual are the props needed.

To play the game, each player creates a character "who may be a fearless Fighter, a treasurehunting Sprite" or any number of others. The object of the game is to win the treasure without getting killed. The game is set up_on graph paper with mazes , tunnels and secret rooms made up by the Maze Controller, of '·'referee.' ' This novel illustrates that Mazes and Monsters (or any other fantasy game , for that matter) may be harmful to your health in more ways than one .

The plot idea is like that of ·•today" and reflects recently published articles about the trueto-life fantasy game, Dungeons and Dragons. It has been sug gested that such games pull vulnerable players into a world of their own, a true world of fan tasy, in which they b~come thejr

character and base their everyday existence on the character's goals, feelings and needs.

"Mazes and Monsters" is indeed a well written book to be enjoyed by young a.dults and readers of all ages .

The validity of the plot still needs to be questionned further, but this novel leaves the reader interested with continuous question of what will happen next.

Theater gives one act plays

BY KAREN ANGELI

The theater of Cabrini College presented three One-Act plays, directed by Daniele A. Perna on Oct. 4.

The first play was "Red CarnaUons" by Glenn · Hughes. This play is a comedy concerning three characters, an older man played by Robert Checchia, a younger man, played by John Doyle and the girl, played by Jane Harrington.

The set for this play was a simple platform and two low stools . There was no scenery and only a few lights.

The older man and the younger man, both sharing the same last name, Smith, both wearing red carnations, and both waiting for a girl each met at a costume party, become engaged in a heated discussion about these strange coincidences. The older man takes it all in stride while the younger seems ready to have apoplexy.

The girl appears, all smiles and prettiness. She flirts with each of the gentlemen although she seems to be humoring the younger man along . Then she announces that her last name also happens to be Smith. At this point, the younger man screams that "Everything is unbearable!" and starts to leave. It is at this point that we learn that the older man is the girl's father.

Surprise!

All is resolved, the daughter apologizes to the young man, the father has a hearty lauJh and the young couple have a iood kiss.

We all enjoy a good chuckle and · applause abounds.

Well, it was supposed to be a comedy, but actually I dQn't think it was all that funny. Although the acting was fairly good, I felt the actors were trying too hard to make us laugh. But I will say that Checchia 's performance deserved kuvdos because he seems to have a flair for comedy.

The second play, Overtones, by Alice Christenberg, was a drama.

The setting is the same but now there are four characters. Harriet, the rich cultured woman is played by Joyce Patitucci. Her primitive inner self is played by Sandra McNamara. Mary Joe Longo plays Margaret, the poor woman of culture and her primitive inner self is played by Jeanne Proko .

Overtones is about two women of the Southern persuasion who get together for tea at Harriet's house. Maggie and Hetty are visible throughout.· It comes out through the alteregos that each woman secretly wants the other woman's husband . Harriet wants Margaret's husband, John, because she was once in love with him. Margaret wants Harriet's money and success.

The two cultured women carry on an ever-so polite conversation, never letting on about their real feelings . The two primitive selves, on the other hand, are scheming and conniving to get what they want .

In the end , a deal is made, each woman wanting what the other has and each inner self making sure they get what they want.

This play was very well written

Women's volleyball

team shows determination

BY DEBBIE JOBLONSKI

The Women Cavaliers Volleyball team plays with a winning determination and spirited attitude.

Their record so far is 2-4. However, this statistic does not give justice to the individuals on the team .

Debbie Harvey , transfer junior from Philadelphia Community College, is an outstanding player.

It's a natural reflex for her to spike and serve the ball . She has made many saves that pulled the Cavaliers out of some difficult situations .

The Cabrini College Cheerleading Squad has increased in number for the 1981-82academic year.

Returning to the squad are cocaptains Maria Carbone and Barbara Gentile. Other returning

though we have a new tennis team that needs to practice here, high costs will not permit major . improvements \o the court in the near future." , However, Go6dwin also stated, "Like the weight room, minor and inexpensive repairs can be made for the time being."

Goodwin also explained that she and Dzik had discussed plans over the past summer to improve the athletic facilities that needed it most.

Goodwin confirmed Dzik's claim that the "entire ground floor athletic area in Sacred Heart Hall will be reconstructed and repaird in the near future."

Dzik hopes that such reovations could even be completed by the end of the current school year.

Senior Vickie Puccio does not lack any determination. Whenever there is a time during the game that momentum is lost, she turns to Helen Goodwin, Coach and Women's Athletic Director, to ask for help.

"Puccio has a terrific serve

and tremendous spiking ability .

These two qualities are good sets for the team,'' Goodwin said.

In the Cabrini-Neumann game , the Cavaliers were obviously the dominate team . The coordination and bench support of the team , enhanced the 3-0 win over Neumann.

"This was our best game so far ," Harvey said , " We played as a whole."

Although the women Cavaliers _ played an outstanding game Neumann College, there was one thing lacking , fan support . At the outset of the game a relatively small group of spectators were on hand . This seems to be a fad at all the volleyball games .

So far in the season, Cabrini 's toughest game has been against Allentown College . Allentown defeated the Cavaliers 3-0.

Patty Leo, and Nancy O'Donnell are all newcomers to the cheerleading squad . \ The Cabrini College Cheerleaders are the only sportsrelated organization whose season runs from September until March.

They cheer for Women's Field Hockey, Women's Volleyball and Men's Soccer during the Fall semester. During the Spring, the squad cheers for the Men and Women Basketball teams .

Maria Carbone,'82, a four year veteran, says that the squad is one of the best she has seen in her four years . "They are dedicated and they want to be here," said Carbone.

Denise Clark,'84, a one-year veteran enjoys cheering with the squad. "It is a lot of work, butit is also a lot of fun,' ' Clarke said .

The Cabrini College Cheerleaders consider their job to be a very serious one . Their goals for the 1981-82 academic year are to improve the image of the cheerleading squad and to obtain more support from the athletic teams fans.

Rugby not iust for kicks

New coach named for cross country

BY SHEILA FANELLE

Rugby is a form of American football played between two team s. Each team consists of 15 members. The games differ from soccer in that there is freedom to carry the ball , block with the hands and arms , and tackle .

. mile re lay team was one of the fastest ib the nation .

Larson has taken a "find-outas-we-go-along " attitude toward his new team which has six members , five of whom are freshmen and sophomores and one senior.

New Sports

Both Dzik and Larson are disappointed in the small number of people on the team. They are also disappointed that more women are not out for the team considering the large number of them at Cabrini.

BY TOM DEMATTEIS

Larry Larson has been named as Cabrini's new cross country coach .

Athletic Director John Dzik advertised the job opening in area papers and had approximately twelve applications for the job.

However, Dzik decided on Larson (

are made between the men 's and the women 's athletic programs.

Either the question is " How come the men ha ve new sneakers, and the women don't? Or " How come the men's basketball team charges at the door, and the women 's team doesn 't? " The com parison and rivalry goes on and on.

One of the dominating questions raised in the past four weeks is why there is a 3 :1 ratio of men to women recruits. According to coach Dzik, he and his assistants spent many hours of their own time looking for men who would attend Cabrini with the aid of a scholarship.

Unlike Dzik, the women 's coaches had no staff asistants to recruit women athletes . One difference , which could be an asset, is that a few of the women are playing dual sports. Woman may be playing volleyball, and also be a member of the basketball team .

In some cases , a dual scholarship may be awarded.

As for the fee at the door for

•••

men's basketball games, and not atwomen's, the women 's teams do not even get enough support now with the games being free . It seems as though the women , at this predominantly women 's college , support the men 's athletic programs better than their own.

But if any fans have noticed , more men show up at women 's games than women do.

The money for the scholarships, and arrangements needed for the activity is split right down the middle betweeh John Dzik, men's athletic director , and Helen Goodwin , women 's athletic director. Half goes towards the recruitment, and half is spent on the arrangements needed for the program. Both directors relate to each other what they each do with their share .

According to Dzik, his job is to build up men 's athletic programs to better the male enrollment at Cabrini.

Although there are more women than men enrolled at Cabrini, men are more involved in the athletic program, Dzik thinks.

The Cabrini College women's hockey team earned its first victory against Brandywine College, 1-0.

Sophomore Regina Law's goal was the first ever scored since the team was formed last Fall.

Marked as Cabrini ' s best game, the effort was highlighted by the strong defensive per . formances of juniors, Diane Cor; allo, Mary Collins and Jean Findlay.

In the season opener , Cabrini fell to Haverford College, 0-2.

Haverford had 26 shots at goal but 16 were saved by Goalie Mary Collins .

Anaggressivethird game was played at Penn State Ogontz.

Hoping to overcome this lack of participation, Dzik has instructed Larson to build the program up and create some interest. Dzik is confident that Larson will handle the job he has been assigned .

Penn State proved victorious with a score of 0-3. Collins saved 10 of 13 shots on goal. Cabrini had 15 shots against Penn State.

Eastern, ranked first in the division, defeated Cabrini 0-6. In this game, Collins was downed early in the second half, with a head injury.

According to team manager Theresa Collins, senior, the team has shown great improvement since last season . "The attitude of the team is much more positive and their effort is stronger," said Collins. The will to put up a good fight and win is much greater .

Cabrini's driving has definitely improved since last year ," she added .

over the goal line for a tr y (for a goal) . A try is worth four points and it gives the pla yer an opportunity for a free kick which can score another two points .

Rugby has been in the headlines lately due to a 36member South African team .

The Springbok team was invited to the U.S. by Thomas Selfridge , the president of the Eastern Rugby Union , to play against the U.S. Club teams .

Their tour was an attempt "to spread the gospel of the game ." However, much confusion arose because "this racially mixed tight knit group of amateur athletes are accustomed to anonymity and racial segregation policies, " Thomas Masland , a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, said .

The first game took place in Chicago and the second was held in Albany, N. Y .

The following games were played in virtual secrecy . The reason for this was to "avert the violence that has accompanied the Springbok games ."

U.S. Rugby teams are not as skilled as European or African teams .

It is characterized mainly by continuous action and does not allow substitutions accord ing to the Random House Die-• tionary .

The sport was developed in the middle of the 19th century in Englans.

According to Webster 's Sports Dictionary , the game grew out of an incident during a soccer game ; a student in a fit of frustration ran with the ball.

Early games included as many as 300 players and actions such as tripping, kicking and tackling were permitted .

The object of the game is to kick or carry an oval-shaped ball toward the opponent's goal line and either kick it through the H-shaped goal and score three points, or carry it
