Loquituradvances into computerage by Gia DiGiminiani This past fall semester, the Loquitur newsroom officially welcomed two new additions to the staff, a couple of IBM Personal Computers ("P.C.s"). For the Loquitur staff, somewhat apprehensive about permanently relinquishing the use of their antiquated typewriters, this meant learning computer operations, and doing their own typesetting and page pasteups were necessary. Such tasks had previously been performed by an outside printing company. Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson of tlie English and communications department and the Loquitur's advisor, said, "The changes were initiated so that journalism students could get experience writing and editing on the computer teminals. These methods are used by professional newspapers." Due to the advent of computerized word-processing technology, typesetting has become a necessary part of the print media. At virtually all professional daily newspapers and a growing number of campus papers, of which Cabrini is one. The reporter composes the story on VDT, or "video display terminal" (a device that combines a typewritter-like keyboard and a television screen. As the story takes shape on the screen, the writer has unlimited freedom to move the copy around, inserting and deleting words, sentences, and paragraphs at will. After the reporter types the story on a VDT, it goes into a computer for storage on a magnetic disc. When the editor is ready to edit the story, he or she calls 路it up and makes whatever changes are necessary electronically. When revisions are completed, all the stories are placed on a master magnetic disc which is sent by carrier to the John C. Myers Typesetting Company in Philadelphia. The people at John C. Myers place the the disc 路into a computer run high-speed typsetting machine which produces the printed copy. The Loquitur's IBM P.C.s use a software program called Wordstar, which is one of the most common and most difficult P.C. programs, as well as the leading seller. Zurek commented, "The Wordstar program was chosen because it is the most highly used, and since it is the most difficult, it is easier for students to adapt to different, lesser models."

"We have completed brining in enough fill dirt and are now in the stage called, compaction (Mar. 26)," Heiberger said. "What you see down there now is basically where the ground floor will be." Heiberger also said that the main "bulk" of the building should be completed by October, and it should be ready by January. "Within in the next couple of weeks the workers will be digging the foundation, and the activity will appear slow. They have already brought in the electricity, water, and sewage. Now they have to dig conduits for gas and telephone," Heiberger said. Heiberger also said, "Starting in May, they will begin the constructing of the block walls, which will happen very fast and seem like a lot of activity."

Above is a Loquitur staff member working on the process known as paste-up. (photo by Allen Reyes) Living editor, sophomore, Barbara Mongelli, said, "With the IBM computer, making major changes in articles is much easier. At the beginning we were all frustrated with learning how to use it, but now I would never give it up. It makes editing 100 percent easier." On the advantages of the new system, Zurek said "It provides the most realistic experience for journalism students. The printer now does nothing except for the actual printing of the newspaper. Every line, dot, and letter must be physically put on the paper by the students or else the paper would be blank. All typesetting and editing must be done physically by the students. The printer no longer intervenes. Everything that is good and bad 路about the paper is placed squarely on the staffs shoulders." Zurek also said,"Typesetting experience is important for anyone who wants to get involved in print." Junior, Features editor, Robin Larkins said, "At first we started out from behind since the editors had to learn how to use the equipment, and were also responsible for overseeing the staffs use of the computers and transferring all stories onto a master disc. The editor's job this year is radically different from the editor's job last year." ''The computers have definitely been helpful. At first it was like 'culture shock', but now I'm so accustomed to it that I haven't used a typewriter since last year. The only problem is that there are only two of them. This causes a lot of problems around deadline time when the computers are the most in demand." In fact, around dealine Loquiturs editors can be found spending the night together in the news room. Zurek also agreed that a shortage of computers can pose a problem and hopes to have more. "Ideally, I would like to have around eight computers in the newsroom," Zurek said. "These computers could also be used for other course, such as Technical Writing or Writing Process. Computer experience would benefit any writer." The Development Office has been seeking funds for this purpose since December. Along with doing their own typesetting, Loquitur has also branched into assembling their own paste-ups. Pasteups is the next step following electronic typesetting in which stories, headlines (also produced with the help of the newsroom computer) and art are arranged on large pieces _ of paper call "Grids." After the pages are completely pasted-up, they are said to be "camera-ready" (ready to be photographed and printed). On the relationship between the two processes, Schultz said, "Editing stories for corrections is done on the computer, while cutting stories to make them fit is done during

paste-ups. During paste-ups the page is being physically assembled according to my original design. I live for pasteup. I live for Loquitur " The bask . requirements to successful paste-ups are patience and a steady hand for cutting and positioning headlines, stories, and borders. News editor, D.B. Field, who is responsible for pa.-.ting-uJt the front page ard, "Before we started doing our own pasteups, mistakes in the paper were largely due to misunderstandings with the printer. Now all mistakes are our own fault." When asked what she thought of doing paste-up at 2 a.m., Barbara Bruhin, editor-in-chief said, "Ask me some other time." Due to the increase in the amount of time required by paste ups in addition to class time, the number of credits for each journalism course will be increased to two, with editors receiving extra credits for their additional responsibilities next semester. Another result of the changes in Loquitur production is the editorial staffs decision, based upon Dr. Zurek's suggestion, to have the Loquitur become a weekly newspaper. In accordance with this change, the Loquitur will cut back from sixteen to eight pages. 路 Zurek said, "Now we have the production under our control, we can squeeze the process into a shorter period of time." By becoming a weekly, the Loquitur, which has received a top rating in previous years from the Associated Collegiate Press, hopes to become enhanced by providing more timely news for the Cabrini community.

The need forthe CCA isevident Also Father Mark Falcone, campus chaplain and former member of the CCA If the president of the college, the administration, the student government and student body think it is beneficial to the college to have an organization like the states "CCA is a good idea because there is the chance for airing of feelings" . We feel that steps should be taken to reinstate the CCA. There is a need and use Council of College Affairs, why does Cabrini continue to not have the CCA? In the past two isssues of Loquitur there have been articles concerning with the for this type of advisory committee . Currie said "The organization was not as effective as it had the calibur to be, had the proper direction evolved over the years non-existence of CCA. as the college grew" . However, direction can only come from the change that takes The first article to mention the CCA was an SGA Commentary entitled "Currie states CCA Status" . The article has Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president of Cabrini place as the college grows.

With changes in all The end of the year is almost here and the CCA has been totally non-existent and ineffective. When SGA inquired to Currie about the state of "affairs" of the aspects of the college, there is a great need for a committee to serve as an effective CCA, the president expressed the intent to maintain the CCA. However, she did forum for airing college concerns . The CCA consists of six members: a senior, junior, sophomore, a Continuing not disclose any specific plans to do so.

corrections Articleon 5ports fundingin error To the editor:

The article entitled "Sports facilities lack funding" in the Mar. 23 Loquitur had three serious errors in it. The first was that I was not informed by the reporter that John Dzik had said renovations in the athletic facilities were now "up to development". That is not how the College addresses its programs and Mr. Dzik should have been aware of that.

Improvements to facilities as well as other changes within the College are decided by the administrative staff in consultation with faculty and others. Once approved a funding method is decided based upon the cost, time and factors, and the importance of the project to the Institution. Those projects which are deemed supplemental to the College or are too large for the Institution to handle out of its operating budget are then ·given to the development office. This office then allocates its time based upon the priorities assigned to those projects by the Institution . Additionally, therefore, there is not an automatic guarantee that the number one priority for the Institution will be funded first.

The second area within the story with which I take an exception is the discussion of priorities . When I had indicated that I did not believe the athletic facilities were the highest priority for the College, I had given examples of what I felt were most important. Those examples included computers for the computer lab, expansion of the library collection, and support for academic programs and departments. By deleting those references the story slanted the issue of prioritization for the athletic facilities. In addition, as I've indicated to the reporter in the interview and repeated again in this letter, it is not my office that establishes those priorities. The third and most severe error in the story is the editing of my quote with

things were going with their new roommate. Feeley went into great detail on the situation, while Fallon, after ·com-· plaining that Deitrich had been going through his things simply said, "Frankly, I haven't seen him." Deitrich, during his three week stay in Fallon's room, spent only a few nights in his own bed. Most of the time Dietrich would be in bed after Fallon and up and out to class before Fallon woke up. Fallon actually saw Dietrich asleep in bed, only one night, but his face was covered by blankets and he was snoring loudly.(lt was really John Doyle,junior, from a few rooms away) In order to solve the problem of finding someone to sleep in Dietrich's bed, the residents of Counsel arranged to have the new roommate's matress stolen as a "prank." Fallon was then told that Deitrich became angry and decided to sleep in House 7 for a few days. According to Doyle, Fallon spent his time at the Superthon New Year's Eve party looking to Dietrich, who most assured him, was present at the dance. After the dance, however, Fallon was informed that Dietrich had become drunk and was involved in a car accident . Several residents of Counsel supposedly went to visit him in room 320 at Bryn Mawr Hospital. Still, Fallon was determined to meet his roommate. Feeley and other residents of Counsel decided to arrange a party in the lobby of Grace Hall. The party was prepared with soda and snacks and Fallon sat waiting while a few of his friends weht to pick up Dietrich from the hospital. Finally, the moment of truth was to arrive. John Dietrich arrived through the doors of the lobby, carried by fellow students. According to Doyle, Fallon staired and then flushed red. Karen Bowers, freshman, dressed as a man just didn't cut it. After 18 day, and twenty minutes of convincing after Bowers arrived, Fallon finally figured out that he had been had ..John Deitrich did not exist, at least on this campus anyway. I lable this one a classic, if not for its originality, then for its length.

Not being a resident, I don't often get to see the classic pranks and practical jokes that go on in the dormatories on campus. Everyone keeps telling me that pranks are part of college life and that I don't kow what I am missing. A classic practical joke took place on the Caorini campus this semester that I don't think should go unnoticed. This one deserves the lable "classic." The victim: Mike Fallon, a freshman resident of Counsel Hall. • The accomplices : Fallon's roommate, Brian Feeley, freshman and anyone else in Counsel or on campus who happened to be caught up in the spirit of things. The situation: Fallon and Feeley live in a triplet, however, a third roommate named John Deitrich never showed up last semester. Upon returning from Christmas vacation, Feeley informed Fallon that the new roommate had moved in for the second half of the year. As far as Fallon could tell from physical evidence and from the testimony of fellow students, John Deitrich did exist. The problem remained, however, that three weeks into the semester Fallon had failed to meet his own roommate. The mysterious roomate had his own suitcases and clothes, would leave cigarettes in the ashtray, opened books lying cin his bed and at one point, ransacked the room. Deitrich has also arrived with a tennis racket and weights. His clothes and shoes would disappear alternately as he wore them. (or as the real owner found need for them) Other residents in Counsel either had the mysterious roomate in one of their classes or had met him at one time or another. Fallon noticed that his new roommate appeared not to have brought soap or towels with him when he arrived. To Fallon's disgust, he would find his own towels and soap wet from use by this mysterious roommate. I got my chance to get in on the joke when I was asked by a few residents of Counsel to pose as a member of the Office of Student Services and interview Fallon and Feeley on how &tf.Sftt•l'f..l!f'I

respect to funding . The body of the story was correct where I indicated there was funding to support the operation of the program but there was no funding within the budget for the large capital improvements necessary. However, in the quote displayed in la,rge type immediately above that , the sentence was shortened and interjected with the word "no", thereby destroying its .accuracy and making the statement 100 percent incorrect. I believe a clarification to the errors in this story is needed. Sincerely , John J. Heiberger,J r. Vice President for Development

Cabrini is large enough to offer a wide variety of acedemic programs, while still small enough to offer personalized attention. If you're serious about your education ...." This advertisement. is a familiar one to most of us who occasionally tune into any Philadelphia radio station . What does this advertisement mean? It means Cabrini College is advertising an ample amount, trying to entice people to choose Cabrini over any other college . The statistics, as of Mar. 26, found on incoming students prove that the admissions department and the public relation department doing something right. The number of incoming students now enrolled is 101, up 5 from last years figure of 96, according to John Dzik, director of admissions. Of the 101 students 84 are women up two from last year and 17 males up three from last year. According to Dzik, the school and administration is looking for a projected incoming frehman class of approximately 190-200 people. Last years freshman class was composed of 191 students. Admissions so far this year has received 476 applications, up 27 from last years 449 applications.

Also according to Dzik , seven transfer students are currently enrolled compared to last years figure of one . "Transfer applications usually come in a little later when they finish their spring sem~ster at

the school that they are at , we also get many applications for transfers over the summer . Application wise we have 43 from transfer students compared to last years 38, so we're up five applications in the transfer market" .

"All year long we've basically been running equal to last year's figures - last year being the most successful year . If we can keep pace with that we're certainly pleased about it in light of the fact that this is an entirely new admission staff," Dzik said.

The applicati _on process at Cabrini varies . Cabrini operates on a rolling admission process , although it depends upon the individual application, according to Dzik. "If an application is clearly a good application it will be accepted , when it comes up for reveiw. If the application is clearly nonacceptable it will be rejected when it comes up for reveiw. Some of the applications fall into a gray area and need more careful scrutiny than others. The applications that fall into that area are very difficult to judge, therefore they go before an admissions committee which studies them individually" , said Dzik . "We recently had an open house at Cabrini in which there were 270 people here, of the 270, 70 were students the , rest being parents and friends. Of the 70 students going into the program we had about 40 enrolled while 10 students enrolled on that day. Ten students on one day to enroll is a windfall and we're very happy about that, " Dzik said .

Above is an actual copy of one of the new computerized bills devised by the business office . by Susan Baj Most everyone is aware of the problems that were caused by the changes in the computerized billing system affecting the tuition bills we received starting last semester. Complaints were received by the Business Office stating that tuition bills were hard to read , received late, and in some cases, not received at all , according to Jim Keches, Business Manager . However , on account of the detailed process involved in the computerized billing format changes, a great deal of time was needed to complete the change, making the billings late in being sent out to students. Also, the post office sent a letter to the Business Office explaining that they had damaged several of the billings they had received to mail. This would account for several of the tuition bills not being received at all . "The Business Office was aware of the complaints, and has since been working to devise a new and better format for the computerized tuition bill," according to Keches.

Many experimental procedures were tried . For instance , last month a new form was devised that was easier to read , but too thick to feed into the computer. However, the .new format was recently completed . The next bill-

'The Business Office was awareof the complaints,and has since been working to devise a new and better format for the computerizedtuition bill.' -Jim Keches, business mamager

ing scheduled to be sent out, most likely March, will be in the style of the "free format " bill , as it is called . It will be in the form of a regu• lar letter on 8 1/2 by 11inch paper, and sent out in a regular envelope. There will also be no mailer to pull apart , as before . Keches said that they are not returning to the old billing method, but one similar to it . Other improvements of the new format include less invoices being sent out after the tuition has been paid . Once the tuition has been paid, students will receive ·one more invoice stating the 0.00 balance . Before, several invoices were sent out. Lastly, lab fees and course overload bills are going to be sent out earlier in the semester than they had been previously . This is possible on account of the fact that labfee automatic assessment can now be done in approximately 20 minutes, as opposed to the entire week it took before . Keches said that we are aware of all difficulties and trying to "correct all problems. ''

The volunteers traveled to West Virginia ~ . . . . in two Cabrini vans and were split up into · two .placement locations: one group, headed by Father Mark Falcone, O.Praem., campus chaplain, stayed in a town in Monroe county, where they were at first homeless, moving from a barn to a senior citizen center to the living room of someone's home to a furnished rectory. The other group, led by Casciano lived one hour away on a mountain in Summers county, in an unfinished farmhouse with no showers, no toilets, a roomful of de-hibernating wasps, and a small woodburning stove for heat. . . . · Although sphttmg the mam group up was at first upsetting after the closen~ss that had de~eloped on the 10 hr. roa~ tnp, the separation proved to be beneficial to the cause. "It was better to split up because we got more work done in different areas, and when we returned we had two different perspectives to compare," commented freshman Mark Murray .

A lifetimeof experiencein oneweek

by Virginia Smith Twenty-one people journey to an unknown land 500 miles from home. Half of the group becomes a tribe of nomads, not knowing where they'll sleep the next night. The other half becomes survivalists, learning to live at the top of a mountain with no toilet, no refrigeration, no running water, and a roomful of wasps. Sound like an adventure movie? It was definitely an adventure, but it was no movie; it was reality as experienced by the Cabrini students who volunteered to face these conditionsduring their Spring Break- to help people less fortunate than themselves. This is Project Appalachia. Project Appalachia is an annual trip to the poverty-stricken Appalachian mountain section of West Virginia, sponsored by Campus Ministry. The purpose of the project (which is now in its third year at Cabrini) is two-fold: to provide volunteers with an opportunity to be of genuine Christian service to an impoverished community, and to provide a unique communal living experience for the student volunteers. The trip itself is virtually cost-free to the students, since the project pays for itself with fundraisers such as raffles, bake sales, and the annual roller skating party and ice cream social. A substantial amount of the cost this year (calculated at $125.00 per person for the week) was also paid for by a group of Campus Ministry members who worked at Cabrini Medical Center in N.Y. during the Christmas Break and donated half of their salaries toward the cause. What motivates students to give up their vacations to work so hard for such a remote cause? "I heard positive things from last year's group," said sophomore participant Barbara Colantuono,"and I wanted to do something more productive during my break than sit at home all week." "I needed to get away, to gain a new per- · spective, to do something different. Just the idea of helping others seemed like the . perfect experience," added Glenn Griffin. Sr. Bernadette, Campus Ministry moderator, explained that a special type of person is attracted to Project Appalachia. "They are kids that aren't afraid to take a risk. They're flexible, mature and have a deep incentive to help others." The trip this year was different from its predecessors in many ways. The group itself contained a surprisingly large number of freshmen and commuter participants, and almost 1/3 of the group were · "returnees" from previous trips. The living and working conditions of the volunteers were also much closer to the poverty level of the local people .

Explorethe world while studying by Barbara Mongelli Paris, France. Rome, Italy. Madrid, Spain. These are some of the European capitals of the world. Many dream of going there; too few follow their dream. An increased interest though in foreign study and international business is causing a surge of students to become involved in study abroad programs. Cabrini is no exception and has developed their own study abroad program. Several students from Cabrini are currently involved "in programs that will take them to Europethis--~mmer or during the upcoming academic year. Patty Hinke, junior, will go through the Cabrini in France program to Paris from June 5 to July 15. Through task analysises, journals, lectures and museum visits, she will receive nine credits. Hinke will live with a family that was chosen and approved by Benedicte Kalason, a directress in France, Helene Hennigan, chairperson of the languages department and Irene Rachat, assistant professor of French and Spanish. "I'm going to improve my understanding of a foreign culture and language. It's a whole new culture, a new experience. If anyone has the chance, they should do it to understand different cultures and why they live the way that they do," Hinke said. Hinke said, "I'm excited, but scared. Being away will be scary,

but the plane ride is what really scares me." Shelagh McGinn, sophomore, is going to the Windsor Academy of English in Sevilla, Spain during the fall semester next year. McGinn will live there with a Spanish family, from Sept. 7 to Dec. 22. She will receive sixteen credits for the classes that she takes; the classes will be in Spanish. The program that McGinn is going through is called "Semester ih Spain." It is run by Trinity Christian College. McGinn said, "I want to become fluent in another language. Also, I want to experience different cultures and a different country; to expand my horizons." McGinn also has some fears about being on her own in a foreign country. "I'm going to a place where they don't speak English; I don't know anybody. It's not that easy to turn around and come home. Not that I'm afraid enough not to go though. I'm more excited than I am nervous. It's such a great experience. I can't give it up for anything," McGinn said. Hennigan said that she thinks study abroad is a "marvelous idea." She emphasized that study abroad is not limited to language majors though. Hennigan said that for this reason, the language department has given a lot ofliterature on study abroad to Donna Seckar, career counseling director.

"It helps to develop a better understanding of the people (in a foreign country), their civilization, culture, philosophy of life. Living with the family native to the country is the best way because the student learns not only the language, but their habits and customs also," Hennigan said. "As long as the student has sufficient orientation, so that they know what to expect-that's the key. You are living in their country. You have to go with an open mind," Hennigan said. The problems arise, according to Hennigan, when the students go and expect a country to be just like the United States . The students 路 can't attempt to enforce their views and ways on these people. Hennigan said, "It is a very good learning experience. The students come back with a different view, they become more aware. There is a better understanding of the past; it's living history." Hennigan added that it is a good year to travel abroad, expense wise, since the American dollar is so strong. She suggested that students who wish to travel internationally invest in an International Student I.D. Card, which offers a tremendous number of discounts. The card is offered through the Council on International Educational Exchange.

The Cars: Heartbeat.C~fy: 'It's Magic'

,.,,. The Cars - Heartbeat City

by Judy Buck "Heartbeat City", the newest release from The Cars is extraordinary in sound-unlike their preceeding albums. It's electrifying and loose, something that old avid Cars fans will love. The sound of this album reminds one of The Cars debut album released 5 years ago. It definitely has the sound and excitement that the bands earlier recordings had. Ric Ocasek, lead vocalist and guitar player has done a fine job writing all the songs on the album excluding "It's Not The Night", which was written by Greg Hawkes, keyboard player and vocalist, and Ocasek. "You Might Think", was the first cut off the album to be picked up on commercial airwaves. This cut is one of the few songs on the album that represents The Cars as a whole effort. Some songs on the album such as "Why Can't I Have You" and "Heartbeat City" (the title track), seem very Ric Ocasek-ic, somewhat similar to his solo efforts. The song "Hello Again" is a fantastic cut, with a great rhythmic pattern, created mostly by the sounds of the keyboards and synthesizers. This song has a very new synthpop sound which provides variety to the album. The begin-

The Irish Minstrel Show: a by Shelagh McGinn For the twentieth time, for the twentieth year, the infamous "Doc" Feighan and his crew of energetic students have presented another '.Annual Irish Minstrel Show.' The show is a tradition at Cabrini College. It began in 1964 with Dr. Joseph A. Feighan as moderator. Twenty years later, with the help of Josephine A. Rondini, the show is still a major part of Cabrini life. Rondini, now an assistant professor of chemistry, graduated from Cabrini in 1968. She was in the original Gallagher and Shean skit which is a major part of the show. Gallagher and Shean are old gossips who not only tell the plot of the show but also the gossip of campus today. This year the roles of Shean and Gallagher were played by Robin Larkins and me, respectively. The verses were written mainly by Larkins with a little help from outsiders. "At times, writing the verses were tough because we had to make them easy for everyone to understand," Larkins said. The verses that were most popular were the ones that poked fun at the faculty and administration. Another alumnus of Cabrini, along with his family, is actively involved in the show. Greg Pasquarello, lecturer of philosophy, is the piano player and stand-in for the

minstrel show. His daughter Chantal, age three, played the part of an Irish child, while his sister, Michele, freshman, was one of the Irish neighbors and dancers. ''The best thing about the show is that it's just about the only thing that involves everybody," Pasquarello said. "You really don't need a special talent because it's just for fun.'' Over 400 students have participated in the show over the years and each year a majority of the graduates come back to see it. "It's the kid's show," Feighan said. , Rehearsals started in February and parts were cast. The obvious choice for leprechauns was Mary and Sean Meenan, two prominent Irish redheads on campus. Mary, sophomore, and Sean, freshman, have been involved in Irish dancing since they were children. They displayed their talent by dancing a duet during the show. "We had a lot offun," Sean said. "Though at times it was embarassing, it was well worth the time.'' The students all feel that it is important to keep the tradition alive. "I think it's important that the spirit of St. Patrick is kept alive," said Trisha O'Callaghan, freshman, "and this is the best way to do it." Those in the audience are amazed at the 路 talent present on the stage. "I never knew

mng of the song is very contrasting in style, it starts with a break-dancing-scratch beat which makes the song even more electrifyfng. It then cofilfnues wifh1Jie hard-rocking style one has grown to expect from The Cars. The song "Magic", is also another cut which stands out on the album. The beat has a great rhythmic sound. All the instruments used by the band blend together which makes the track even more likeable. It has the beat that people want to hear but more importantly, what people will remember. "Drive", another cut off the album demonstrates the musical difference the band portrays in their work. The . song is a penetrating love song while the rest of the album is bouncy and full of hooks. The cut "Looking For Love", also has the catchy beat to become a potential hit. It begins with drums and synthesizers giving the beat an electronic calypso sound. Basically the album is a great one - chalk one up for these boys! The album is not only composed of"fresh" music, but has great v<><;al sounds, great rhythm, and instrumental perfection, what else could Cars fans ask for???

that we had so mar..y terrific singers in this school," said Julie Biczelewski, sophomore. "John Doyle and Mark Murray's rendition of 'The Orange and the Green' was really great.'' Others were amazed at the different characters portrayed on the stage. "It is hard to imagine some of the people in some

of the roles," said one student, "but the show made it believable.'' "Missy Dipasquale was excellent," added Lucia Laurito. Through the enthusiasm of the cast, the audience became involved in the show. The actors encouraged them to sing along and actively participate. "When John Doyle said sing," said Lucia Laurito, sophomore, "I actually started to sing and clap along with the cast."

Cabriniathletes Softballcommences: look to the future SeaSonin full by Debbie Kidon

Is there life after college for Cabrini's athletes? Sports play an important role in all athlete's lives. ' Many hours of free time are spent in practice and participating in collegiate sports. But what will these years of playing sports mean after graduation? Leslie Kraska, sophomore, feels that she will definitely miss playing collegiate volleyball because it gives her something to strive for. "There are league teams outside of school that I will probably be involved in," Kraska said, "but they are not as competitive as college volleyball. The league teams play more for fun than anything else. I will continue to be a member of the United States Volleyball Association, USVBA, team after college. I want to play volleyball until I can't play anymore." Kraska would like to also coach volleyball. First on a high school level and then later on a college level. Gary Smith, sophomore, would like to keep active, and possibly play on a men's basketball league team. "I would like to coach women's basketball on a high school or college level someday," Smith said. Lisa Hurst, junior, plays basketball and softball. In the summer, Hurst plays on a women's league. "I would like to coach basketball someday, possibly at the high school that I graduated from," Hurst said. "I would like to get into college coaching someday." Hurst, a biology major, also plans to combine sports and biology by going into sports medicine or physical therapy. Joanne Goebel, sophomore, is a member of the volleyball team and is a special education major. Goebel would like to play on women's volleyball league teams. Her major interest is to be involved in coaching Special Olympics. Cathy Kalbach, senior, would like to continue to play on the USVBA team. She plans to play on community leagues and beach leagues in the summer. Kalbach would like to be more active in the USVBA TEAM and to receive certification as either a referee or score keeper for the USVBA. Unlike many other players, Kalbach has no future plans of coaching. "I'll play basketball as long as I think I'm competitive," said John McQueen,junior. "I would like to coach men's college levei'basketball but I know you can't just walk into a job like that. I'll have to start off at a lower level, such as junior high or high school and then work my way up." McQueen feels that he really would like to referee on either college or professional level. "My ultimate goal is to run my own basketball camp and coach little kids in basketball," McQueen added. "I'll always be involved in sports. I can see myself at 55 or 60 years old bowling or playing golf," McQueen said. Tarbotton would like to combine her double major and someday teach physical education and possibly coach, beginning at a high school level with basketball and hockey. She would then like to move her coaching up to a college level. Michelle Tarbotton, sophomore, is a member of the basketball, softball and field hockey teams. "I'm going to miss college sports when I graduate because I'll miss being on a real team," Tarbotton said. "League and club teams are just not as competitive. I would like to et on a club team for hockey."

by Lucia Laurito Fly balls, bats, victory, spirit, and home run hits are all part of the '84 softball season now in full "swing" at Cabrini.

'I'm lookingforwardto a successfulseason witha lotof fun.' -Mike Tenaglia, head coach. The Lady Cavs practice daily for two hours in the gym or on the .field. Each practice begins with an excercise routine consisting of leg stretches, arm stretches, and sit-ups. The team then runs through an obstacle course, runs laps, throws the ball around, and if they are outside, -they run the bases.

In his second year as coach, Mike Tenaglia, said, "I'm looking forward to a successful season with a lot of fun." The team lost a few of their key players last year, but according to Tenaglia, "the freshmen look as talented as the players we lost." Tenaglia also said that the freshmen team members are strong in key positions. This season he sees more depth in the team and ~ stronger outfield. "If we can work together as a team, we should be able to have a good season," Michele Pasquarello, freshman, said.

The toughest opponents the teain face this season are Ursinus April 4 and Widener, April 24. ' ' "I think we have a good team. There is a lot more talent this year than last. It should be an interesting season," Kathy Toto, sophomore, said.

'swing'

The first game of the season is an away game against Philadelphia College of Bible, on Tues., April 3 at 4 p.m. The first home game is against Chestnut Hill College, on Tues., April 10, at 4 p.m.

'Thereis a lotmore talentthisyearthan last.' -Kathy Toto, sophomore. The team ended the '83 season with a 7-3 record, and a PAIAW Division III Championship. "In our division, I think we are in a good position to defend our championship," Tenaglia said.

Spring intramuralsare for everyone by Lisa D'Ascenz o This spring, intramural volleyball games began March 19 and basketball games are scheduled for April 9. There are six teams with 14 people on each team. There will be two games played per evening, at 8:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Each team will play everyone once in a best of seven series. Two teams are made up of all l4 team members. There will be points awarded for the top five teams in the league. The schedule for the volleyball games is as follows: March 21, 26, 27, 28, April 2, 3, and 4. Basketball games are scheduled for April 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 24, 25 and 30. The basketball games will be run differently for the men and the women. There will be 20 minutes running clock time in the first half and 10 minutes running clock time in the second half for the men's team. For the women's team, there will 15 minutes running clock time for the first half ' and 10 minutes running clock time for the second half. Each team must have at least four players for basketball. The team's captains are: Team A, Regina Law, senior, Team B, Greg Catarious, senior, Team C, Gary Smith, sophomore, Team D, Tommy McGowan, junior, Team E, Todd Breeden, sophomore, Team F, John Walden, sophomore.

Although there is no director for this spring's intamurals, Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, hopes to appoint a student as next fall's intramural director. At present, intramurals are being organized by DiRaddo and Duke Schneider, assistant men's basketball coach. Both DiRaddo and Schneider stress student participation in the intramural program, especially for nonathletes, although many of the students participating are intra-collegiate athletes. This may be a reason for the lack of enthusiasm and participation in this spring's intramurals for non-athletes. Ed O'Brien, senior, feels the intramurals are geared more towards athletes. "It shouldn't be that way," O'Brien said. "Students who are not athletes will feel intimidated and won't want to play against professional collegiate athletes." "The purpose of intramurals is to have fun. It's not stiff competition," Shelagh McGinn, sophomore ,., said. "Non-athletes don't want to go up against athletes because they feel athletes are too competitive and take the sport too seriously," added Lucia Laurito, sophomore.

To the satisfaction of many stude_nts, the intramural games started on March 19 with the first volleyball game. (photo by Debbie Kidon)
