Underage ~rinkers abusealcohol laws study, not party," a resident assistant in Woodcrest said. She continued," I've never had to bust a party, the girls drink in consideration, not really moderation. They're learning from their experiences, I'm not going to stop them, but if I see it's effecting them, we'll talk. I don't want to be their mother,and most of them are pretty responsible."

by Bernadette Demski Almost every college student does it, it's a part of the American college scene. Some do it in moderation, some excessively, and a few, not at all. But nearly every college student, for whatever reason, consumes alcohol.

The United States Brewers Association along with student and university associations are supporting National Awareness Week, which started October 21. The USBA has prepared the National On Campus Alcohol Education Manual which is a compilation of programs with the aim to curb alcohol abuse among college students.

Statistics show that a large number of college age students in America are drinking heavily, for example consuming 56 or more drinks a month.

On most college campuses alcohol abuse and underage drinking are key issues.

Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resid~nt life said '½.!coho!has such an appeal, it's part of the 'rights of passage' for growing up.

You're really not considered an adult until you drink. We're caught in a bind because the drinking age is 21. Underage drinking regulations must be in accord with state laws. (Which means anyone under 21 may not drink alcohol on campus.) But we have a concern over and above the legal aspects, if students are going to drink, we want them to learn to be responsible drinkers."

Steve Pascali, freshman, said, "Instead of drinking on weekends I work out and run, I think drinking too much is like walking around on crutches."

"I drink occasionally, maybe once every other weekend," said a male freshman. He continued, I usually visit friends on the weekends. If they have somehting to drink I'll drink it. I can't afford to drink every weekend, especially now that they've raised the tax."

"Not a weekend goes by when I don't drink," said one female junior, "I usually borrow some ones license to get served, I just need a break on the weekends."

Sr. Christine Baltas, dean of students, said, "We are aware that many students are falsifying their identification cards so they are able to get into bars, next year we hope to have a tamper proof card. If you are caught with a fake card there is a heavy sentence. We are also aware that security is letting a lot of drunk students into the houses, and many students are going to classes with hangovers."

As a result ofthe irresponsible consumption of alcohol, many students are developing drinking problems, by the students senior year, then their drinking habits begin to level off, and those habits stay with thetn for about the next five years, according to the University of Massachusettes study.

¡ver-

sity of Massachusetts at Amhurst between 1975 and 1980, the drinking experience peaks in the sophomore year of college and begins to fall after the middle of the spring semester.

The "Lifestyle Survey" was administered to the incoming freshman for the first time last year. When asked how often they drank, 42 percent said they drank most of the time, 37 percent said they drank most of the time, eight percent said they seldom did, and four percent said they never have. When asked how often they drank alcohol, 56 percent said they were light drinkers, 24 percent said they were moderate drinkers, and 18 percent said they abstained from alcohol. But when asked what type of beverage they preferred, 42 percent said soft drinks, 19 percent said mixed drinks and 12 percent said beer.

"Students are drinking as a socializing process, Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities said, "For many people shyness is a problem, and when they've been drinking socialization is easier. In the United States the big man on campus is the guy who is the biggest partier, where as in England and other European states the intellectual person who strives towards personal growth and enhancement through knowledge is much more reviered on campus."

"We are stiving to create an atmosphere where people can feel relaxed. We want to provide the accomodations to generate conversation without the use of alcohol. This need may result in a pub on campus," DiRaddo continued.

Lilly said, "Many students are pressured by peers to drink, and for some students it can be a horrible experience. I know of one incident in Woodcrest where a few girls were so drunk they could'nt even walk up the steps. For most 18 to 21 year olds this the most crucial part of their lives, they are really trying to find themselves and many times they use alcohol as their escape.

They need to accepted, they want to be cool."

"The girls in Woodcrest have calmed down considerably, in the beginning of the semester this whole place was completely bananas, every one just wanted to have a good time. Now that midterms are here, they're realizing why they are at college, to

Club keeps studentson-campus The non-alcoholic club, sponsored by the Student Government Association (SGA) Tuesday night in the Widener Center Gathering Area was an undeniable success.

For the SGA, it was a break-through in credibility to take what was last year's untangible suggestion and bring it this year into real, physical terms. The entire operation set an impressive precedent.

The creation of the club was_an example of efficent committee-work: social activities, class officers and interested students performed the roles of coordination, set-up, bartenders, waitresses, food prep. The opportunity to be involved was opened to everyone there were no cliques.to rule.

Special pains were taken to ensure the atmosphere was as authentic as possible: lights were dimmed, tablecloths and candles and menus placed on tables, "drinks" were prepared by bartenders at a cash bar, snacks such as popcorn and potato skins were sold, disc jockeys provided music for dancing. the Gathering Area was literally transformed.

Excitement was generated among the student body: residents and commuters alike made plans to

.

stop in even dressing for the occasion. At one point on the packed dance floor everyone was singing the lyrics to the same song. Students fresh out of night class exams were dancing off frustration. The club attenders seemed eager in buying the "virgin" alcohol-less drinks and snacks.

For student services and resident life, it was a fitting highlight to the most impactful Alcohol Awareness Week: a good number of real bar enthusiasts were spotted in attendance, opting not to go offcampus for their socializing. The "Kiss me, I'm sober" t-shirts and '½rrive alive" buttons made the nondrinking point clear. The appearance of student service personnel such as Sister Christine, dean of students, Beverly Reilly, resident manager, and Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life provided support by demonstrating administrative interest in the club cause.

Congratulations to all involved in the club presentation. For providing an on-campus activity, a comfortable social gathering place, and a non-alcoholic alternative, it's a concept worth keeping and should be presented on a regular basis.

To Whom It May Concern; In last year's Loquitur, many articles were published concerning the lack of participation at the Sunday night liturgies.

Fortunately enough, Cabrini has greeted Beverly Reilly as the new Campus Minister.

Since Beverly's arrival, the masses here have added a special closeness to our community.

There is an extra spark present and that spark is Beverly,Reilly.

I would like to publicly thank Beverly for adding something special to my Sunday nights.

Beverly: .I hope you stay around for a long time, but please don't start playing your guitar at mass - attendance is just starting to improve!

Sincerely yours, Betty Hogan, junior

Viewing U.S.through alien eyes Picture this: crawling for miles inside an old cramped sewerage pipe, with nothing but a lone flashlight beam to sephrate the darkness in front of you, not knowing what's ahead, not caring what's in back, then suddenly being attacked by a pack of wild hungry rats.

No doubt your skin is crawling. Could anyone or anything ever persuade you to endure such torture? A million dollars, perhaps? Or how about for the sake of freedom?

This was an actual scene from the movie "El Norte," presented here by the English/communications and social science depar.tments last Thursday. The story - one of Enrique and Rosa (a brother and sister) who escaped death from their terrorist- ridden Guatemalean village and embark on a desperate quest to live in "true freedom" in "el Norte,''. (Spanish for "the North" or the United States) depicted issues such as illegal aliens, poverty and cheap labor in real, graphic terms.

Although the spoken words were in Spanish (English subtitles), the messages were profanely clear. The North, pegged the land of freedom, opportunity and flushable toilets by the duo, enslaves them at times more than their own country. Naive to the U.S. language and customs, they are taken advantage of, forced to live in barely liveable conditions and work manually for small wages. When they try to excel, they are knocked down by prejudices, demonstrated when a co-worker of Enrique, passed over for a promotion in favor of the foreigner, .reported him to the immigration QOard.

Many of the scenes involving Enrique and Rosa adjusting to American life were humorous: Rosa returns "madeover" after a visit to Sears and her brother calls her a

Most of the film for me, however, was like a mirror which reflected a side of American life I'd never seen or wanted to see. For example, their first apartment, nothing more than a dirty hole-in-the-wall, was a palace to them because it had flushable toilets and electric lights (considered utter basics in any U.S. home); Enrique gets promoted to a waiter and brags to his sister "Look, now I am somebody. People will look up to me now." (While in our society, servient positions are looked down upon and "real people" aspire to six digit executive jobs); Enrique is offered better pay and a green card to take a job in the Chicago area and is encouraged to leave his sister and think only about the survival of himself (It's the American way of life, one co-worker said); Rosa is hired at a clothing factory full of minority workers who are paid pennies for their work because no one else will hire them without a green card (clothes lnow wear were probably made by taking advantage of cheap labor).

Ticketed students seek appeals to Traffic Committee

by Rhonda Dannenhower This year, there has been an increase in the number of parking tickets distributed on Cabrini's campus. Many students who felt they received tickets unjustly, have appealed them to the Traffic Committee.

Three years ago, the Traffic Committee was formed to safeguard the campus where thru traffic and parking is concerned. The committee, consisting of one faculty member, four students, and two staff members is responsible for making periodical rounds on campus and ticketing parking violators.

Sister Regina Peterson, and Ruth Richardson are the coordinators of the committee. Kay Satterthwaite is the representative from the Physical Plant, and Gennese Morris is the student secretary.

Additional names of committee members were withheld by Peterson for their protection.

Before the committee was formed, it was the responsibility of the campus' maintenance crew to take care of traffic control and the roadways. Because the college's roadways are used as emergency access roads for township vehicles, the roads were also periodically patrolled by the Radnor Police, who gave out tickets when necessary.

According to Sister Regina Peterson, head of the Traffic Committee, violations that warrent tickets are not only parking violations but moving violations as well. A moving violation will result in a fine of$25.

Parking violations include two types of tickets. A $1 fine is administered to illegally parked cars. A $10 fine is administered to cars that are parked in the oil delivery space, fire zone, or handicapped parking space.

Many students have received tickets this year for various reasons. "There have been more tickets administered this year than other years, but this is most likely due to the fact that the number of students on campus has grown," said Peterson.

Tanya Letizio, junior, received a ticket for parking on the grass at the bottom of McManus house. "I always have trouble parking on campus. The houses are only allowed two cars parked in the driveways, when three or four cars could park there if necessary."

Paul Scrivano, sophomore, has received a few parking tickets. He feels that the Traffic Committee is unnecessary. "Students are responsible enough to park and drive correctly. All regulations for having a car on campus are clearly stated in the handbook." _ If a student receives a ticket and feels that it was unnecessarily given, he has the option to appeal .the ticket in front of the committee or just pay it. Many students try to appeal their tickets, some successfully and some not. Peterson said, "If a student has a legitimate reason to appeal their ticket, they are heard. Some tickets have been successfully appealed this year."

Pat McBrearty, sophomore, i::eceived a ticket for parking on the side of Xavier Hall where there are no signs prohibiting parking. "I appealed and lost because they (the committee) said that they can not afford to put signs everywhere because the students steal them."

McBrearty was parked near the side doors of Xavier where the trash bins are located. "There is not enough parking at Xavier. Both lots are always filled and cars are double parked in front of the dorm. If you park at the bottom of house one you get ticketed for parking in the wrong lot.

Where are we supposed to park?"

Lori Inverso, junior, received a ticket for parking in a spot in the back ofWoodcrest's parking lot where there is no yellow line dividing the spaces. ''The ticket said that I was parked where there was no designated spot, but it was a spot. I appealed the ticket and won for that reason."

Lisa Mason, sophomore, also successfully appealed a ticket. "I was the third car parked in the driveway of house four. At the time, I was unaware that only two cars were permitted in the driveways. The committee let me go without a fine because I was misinformed."

Most students interviewed felt that the $15 fee to register a car on campus is too expensive. Inverso and McBrearty however, felt it was good compared to other colleges. "Fifteen dollars is not a lot compared to other campuses. At Villanova the fee is between $50 and $65," Inverso said.

During the early morning hours last week, the committee, in conjunction with the Physical Plant, blocked off the exits to 路the college in order th find out exactly who uses the roadways. They checked cars for parking stickers and issued tickets to those without them. Cars owned by people unrelated to the campus were notified of the traffic reirulations on campus.

The qu'estion of where the money that is collected from the tickets goes to and what it is used for was asked by every student interviewed. Scrivano said, "It should be clearly stated somewhere exactly what the Traffic Committee does with the money they receive from the tickets."

Peterson said, "All of the money that is collected by the Traffic Committee goes back into the college's general fund."

Dr. Corbin Sicoli, psychologist, said, " I am very concerned with students who have a drinking problem, many students are silently suffering because their parents suffer from alcoholism, and they don't tell anyboby, so they are estranged from others." She continued, " Children of alcoholics see how their parents handled stress, and they seek to resolve their stress in the same way, by drinking too much.

This is eventually counter productive. Car accidents are the number one killer of people in the college age group, many students victims of the 'live forever' syndrome; it could never happen to me. If you are a child of an alcoholic, you are at risk." ''There is a lot of off campus drinking, _ which is decreasing the percentage of on campus drinking, most students go to Partners Pub. I've_noticed that most students drink to get drunk, and this just increases their chances of drunk driving," said a male resident assistant.

A new ordinance in Radnor, titled Alcoholic Beverages in Public Places, is expected to pass its final vote in two weeks.

The ordinence came as a result of complaints from residential neighbors that late night noise and,partying from people l~aving main line bars was disturbing them. This ordinence states that anyone earring a drink in an open container, on a side walk, street, public building, recreation area or in a car are liable for a fine of $25 to $300 or imprisonment for one day per $10 worth fine. Discarding the container carries the same penalties.

College campuses are not exempt. The term includes a roadway open to the use of the public for travel by a vehicule on grounds of a college or university or public or private school or public or township park.

"Drinking under age is not in conformity with Cabrini's policy. It is also breaking the state law, said Baltas, " When people drink too much, their behavior is altered. It may result in damage to yourself, it may destroy relationships, and if you are driving you are putting in jeopardy human lives," said Baltas.

New housekeepingmeets mixed response

by BettyJane Betz A controversy has arisen over the change in the way the houses on Cabrini's campus are being cleaned this year.

Last year, the residents of the houses did the cleaning themselves, and received $50 a week which they usually used for house functions. However, this year housekeepers from the Qualit_y~Maintenance Company are coming in several times a week to clean the houses.

According to Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life,"The actual decision came from housekeeping, although they consulted with me. As I understand it, historically there has been difficulty in keeping the houses in order. In the past, if the houses were not kept clean, the money路 could be held back from the residents. It became a real problem keeping the houses clean.

Judy Clay Miles, last year's director of housekeeping, had the idea to hire house-

ATHLETE WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP-Jeanne Purpuri, junior, won four medals Oct. 6 at the N .J. Association for Blind Athletes' State Championships.

Purpuri won a gold medal in the high jump, and silver medals in the long jump, the 200 meter dash and the 400 meter dash. Her high placing in these events makes her eligible for the National Championships in Long Beach, CA to be held in June, 1986.

UNICEF SPONSORS TRICK-ORTREAT PROGRAM-On Oct. 31, National UNICEF Day, Philadelphia citizens of all ages can show their coricern for the children of the world by supporting UNICEF's Trick-or-Treat program. The proceeds for this activity can make a world of difference in the lives of many children.

keepers from an outside company to come in three times a week, since Cabrini's housekeeping staff was not large enough to cover the houses."

Diane Schaffer, director of housekeeping, stated that, "The decision was made by Judy Clay Miles, last year's director of housekeeping."

Leslie Kraska, senior, R.A. of Sullivan_ House, stated, "We liked.having the.money last year, so the girls complained about the change. Sometimes it is easier and more convenient to have a housekeeper, but sometimes the housekeepers seem a little disorganized. And I think the girls tend to get a little lazy in picking up after themselves because they know there are house, keepers coming."

Jane Feeney, senior, resident of Sullivan House, said, "Last year I lived in Xavier; here, they don't seem to take the路 care the housekeepers did at Xavier."

One of the housekeepers from the Quality Maintenance Company described her

offers another view, suggested to her by a villager: "Turning the other cheek was always thought to be a passive stance, but when you are slapped, knocked down, and you get up to offer the other side, that's strength and persistence. 'fhat's saying 'You can knock me down, but you won't stop me."'

"The Contras are coming from the mind-set that a government in the hands of the people is communist, atheist and they stereotype the entire country. It's also the mindset of Reagan - that they're all communist, regardless without taking into account individual people."

Violence in Nicaragua has been rampant since the . early part of 1979 when the government of Samosa was overthrown by the people's army, the Sandinistas. As a result of this takeover, the Contras, an anti-Sandinista alliance, appeared as the new opposing force.

President Reagan is firmly in support of the Contr~ cause, sending them military aid to defeat the / Sandinistas, calling them "communists." Missionary groups living in solidarity with the poor cry out fof an end to the blood bath, claiming the Contras are a terrorist organization. Which viewpoint is accurate?

To cast a different "insider's" light on the turmoil we present an interview with Sister Julianne Warnshuis, a Maryknoll Missionary Sister who lived day to day with the conflict. This is the first of a five part series on the United States involvement in t}:leCentral American conflict.

SisterBernadetteCasciano

Lookingback: a tinge of nostalgia

by Kathy Hibbard Sister Bernadette Casciano, former Campus Minister, now stationed in Kearney, New Jersey, will be doing just fine as soon as the children of St. Anthony's school learn to pronounce her name. For now, however, Casciano is happy with her new title, "Sister Barrette" and her role as principal and part time religion teacher to eighth graders.· Although she misses Cabrini and finds herself in a different setting, Casciano's new role, in many respects, is an extension of her job as campus, minister at Cabrini.

Casciano's voice reflected the excitement and challenge her new job offers, yet there was a tinge of nostalgia when thinking of what she left behind.

"I miss Cabrini very much. I miss observing the spontaneity of the college kids

especially in the cafeteria and the dorms.

Going from 6'3" to 3'6" is a big transition," Casciano said.

According to Casciano, her work over the summer on a reservation in Arizc "la helped prepare her for the culture shock she would face. "I gained valuable experience in learning to communicate and interract with young children." ''A familiar face among faculty also made the transition easier," added Casciano.

Alumnus Jeanine Smith ('84) presently teaches math at St. Anthony's.

"I'm reminded of Cabrini every time I see Jeanine" Casciano said.

"Sister appears very comfortable and satisfied with her position," Smith said.

"Her patience and willingness to help is overwhelming. The kids can sense her sensitivity and outgoing spirit and are beginning to approach and view her as a friend."

Although St. Anthony's does not have a campus ministry program, the school's philosophy of education reflects many of the principles that Casciano implemented in her years at Cabrini.

According to Casciano, "I love the education system here," "There is plenty of individualized attention. As people, we do not go through life in a mold. We are unique and St. Anthony's recognizes this, much like Cabrini does."

Although Casciano's physical presence is no longer visible at Cabrini, her spirit of caring and concern left an indelible mark on the students and her colleagues.

"Sister's interraction with the students here reflected her intense concern for their spititual welfare, and the students recognized this and acted on it as seen through Appalachia and the various re-

treats that were held," Father Mark Falcone, campus chaplain said.

According to Lisa Nolan, junior, former campus ministry president, "She left with a true missionary spirit and she knew the Lord was sending her where she was needed," "One of the neatest things about Sister is the outlook she is able to give to other people," Nolan said. "I think her attitude of believing in youth and their social and spiritual potential and in herself and in the things she does allows her to be succes sful wherever she goes," Nolan said.

Nolan highlights Cascianos continuing Cabrini spirit commenting, "For .sister, Cabrini was not just the college. It was the people, and in this fashion, she is still a part of life here."

Dating on campus: close and comfortable

by Kimberly Kovach The majority of. couples attending, Cabrini with long lasting relationships find little or no drawbacks attending the same college and don't have problems living on the same campus-in some cases only minutes apart.

With a large number dating for at least one year or more, couples spend an incredible amount of time together, due to the size of the campus, sharing mutual friends, classes, and in some cases the same major.

Few disadvantages were expressed concerning "on campus" relationships. Having to separate during the summer months bothered some and the dreaded thought of "How could I possibly avoid seeing this person if we should break up."

But according to Lisa Rancatore, sophomore, ''An on campus relationship is an advantage because a couple can grow a lot closer in a shorter amount of time." And Dana Ridgway, junior, said, "By living so close together on campus, it is more convenient to see each other whenever we find the time."

Ridgway, who has been dating Paul Cauchijunior on a steady basis for a year, finds as many differences between herself and · Cauchi as similarities.

"Sometimes we will go out to do something we both really like but we will look like total opposites. Paul will be punked out where I will dress more casually. No one would believe Wf:were going to the same

place," Ridgeway said.

Leah Cascarina and Chris Smith, both sophomores, show the validity in the statement, "Opposites attract."

"We are so different than each pther, you wouldn't believe how many people ask me how we ever managed to get together," Cascarina said. "I can't even understand how we lasted this long (about five months)."

Friends are another important part of a relationship shared by a couple on campus.

Steve Westhead, senior, said, "It works out really well that Christy(Mason) and I have common friends. It makes things a lot easier."

Although, Cascarina said, "I really think having our separate circles of friends is a better way to have our space between each other."

Cauchi said it is a good feeling to know there is someone always there for you when you need support. "By knowing each other so well, you know when one another needs you, or rather needs time alone to handle various college pressures," Cauchi said.

According to many couples interview, time seems to be an important factor within their relationships. Devoting time to classes, studying, activities and friends can leave little or no time available to spend with a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Debbi Maida, junior, said, "Denis (Borgeau) and I have joined activities together. It is fun because we are doing something we both enjoy while we are

spending time with each other."

Other couples have chosen to take classes together to be able to study together as well. "I know I can always depend on Karl (Sartor) to help me with a class I might have missed where, my friends may not put me with top priorities as Karl would," Lori Johnson, sophmore, _sa.id.

Chrisy Mason, sophomore, said, "Every once in a while, you really need time to get away from it all. By having an on campus relationship, you know you have someone you can escape with," Maida views her relationship as more than "a nice way to go through college. My boyfriend is not only my boyfriend but he's like my best friend."

'Agnesof God'

Stirs imaginationthrough abstract concepts

by Joan C. Kramer Behind the third floor window in the corner of a convent located on the outskirts of Montreal, a nun no more than 15 or 16 years old gave birth to a baby. Because she was pychologically disturbed by the conception, she decided it was a mistake by God and rectified the error by strangling the living infant with its umbilical cord, and stuffing it in a waste paper basket.

---Review---------Norman.Jewison, director of''Agnes of God," leaves much to the power of the imagination. The biggest question seems to be how Sister Agnes (Meg Tilly),became impregnated. Was she raped? Could it have been another Immaculate Conception?

The issue of science versus faith comes into play when a court appointed psychiatrist, Dr, Martha Livingston (Jane Fonda) is assigned to the case of manslaughter, with which Sister Agnes is charged. .

Livingston, who lost contact with Catholicism, is responsible for unraveling the mystery of the conception. Doing a fantastic job portraying a persistent investigator and lov~ni friend, Fonda's chain smoking is only natural for the character she portrays; addmg

humor at one point in ''Agnes of God" when Livingston and Fonda contemplates the imperfections of saints.

Seeking the. life of a cloistered nun after being married for 23 years and bearing children, Sister Ruth ·(Anne Bancroft) is mother superior of the convent. I applaud Bancroft for her excellent performance of a stringent yet down to earth nun even though at times Sister Ruth appears to be a stuffed shirted prude up against Livingston over the incessant investigation of the manslaughter case.

Trying to stop Livingston's probing, Sister Ruth is nurturant towards Agnes, who resembles a middle-aged ascetic, trying to direct her towards more modern, realistic beliefs.

Tilly is a brilliant actress who undeniably plays her part well emitting an image of purity and innocence. Occasionally, blood pours from young Agnes' body and mysterious holes in her hands. Agnes believes the phenomenon is a pµnishment from God which will abstain her sins. Following some incidents of hypnotism by Livingston with the purpose ofrecapturingthe moment of the conception, Agnes becomes increasingly enraged at God for her pregnancy.

There is some comic relief in this mind-bending movie. Nuns are seen clumsily skating .on a nearby lake, and a confession scene between Sr. Agnes and an 80 year old priest stirs laughter from the audience. Birds used to symbolize the act of conception is touching and an ingenious move by Jewison exhibiting his power of abstract expression.

Loan defaultscost government,lenders

by Leah Cascarina

For the past, year, student loan defaults, especially on Guareenteed Student Loans (GSLs), have been a hot topic on the minds of the press and the public. There has been an uproar about the supposedly high numbers of students defaulting on their loans and the huge amounts of money they are costing the government every year.

Currently, the default rate in Pennslyvannia on GSL's is at a steady five per cent. In New Jersey, it is slightly lower (information on the exact percentage was unavailable).

Over 500 students on campus have GSL's. Of those, the financial aid office also predicts that only about t~o to three percent of them will ultimately default.

The GSL defaults, however, do not have an impact on the college, financially wise, stated Arlene - McEvilla Dittbrenner, director of financial aid. She did add, however, that defaults can become very expensive for the government.

The loan defaults that do affect Cabrini, according to Dittbrenner, concerns the Natiional Direct Student Loans (NDSLs).

The college supplies most of the funds that support the program; federal support is minimal.

Dittbrenner stated, "Defaults on NDSLs touch us personally because it has an impact on our own funds at the college. The money we have to lend current students comes from former borrowers that are out of school and are repaying them."

Once the student prematurely stops payments on the loan, the financial aid office .ttempts to make contact with the student.

Dittbrenner said, "Usually threats (to sue) are enough for the students to pay up.

We only have problems with those we can't find, then we give their names to federal authorities." ''We do get most of the money back," she added with a smile.

Dittbrenner stated that usually those

who default on GSL's also default on NDSL's, so the percentages of defaults on NDSL's are about the same.

Many students are unfamiliar with the procedures involved when a person is in default.

State agencies back the financial institutions that provide GSL's to students. If a student defaults on the loan, the lending institution first tries to contact the borrower and collect the money. If they are unable to do so, they notify the state educational agency in charge of student loans. If the agency is unable to find the student 30 days after the notification, the agency must pay the lender the amount defaulted, plus interest.

Once the agency pays the lender, it continues to search for the borrower until he or she contacted.

is

"Thirty to 35 percent of the default problems are resolved shortly after we contact them," stated Thomas Fabian, executive director of the Pennslyvannia Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) Once the state agency finds them, (and if the borrower is employed), they either set up a repayment schedule, or garnish his or her wages. The agency can also make it impossible for the borrower to receive his or her income tax returns.

One question on the minds of many individuals is why the student defaults, A few of the most popular reasons given were: • Many borrow more than they can handle. They expect to get a good job once they graduate and sometimes it just doesn't happen.

• Students aren't cautious and realistic about how much they can borrow. Just because one can borrow up to $2,500 per year, doesn't mean that the student has to borrow the maximum amount. ' • Students don't realize what the loan el}tails. Many view it as a grant.

• A Small percentage that are going into the professions think that they are giving the world a service, already paid their dues in school and now the world owes them something.

• To have multiple loan dispersements.

This proposal is aimed towards curbing the "non-academic" spending of the money should the student drop out during a semester.

• For agencies to report all loans to credit bureaus once GSL's are issued.

• Families earning more than $32,500 should not be eligible for the GSL.

Haunted House to rise from the dead

by James M. Cahill IT was almost "killed," twice; once by the loss of the Little Theater and once by unforeseen circumstances, yet IT escaped the "axe" in the end. IT is this year's Haunted House, and its resurrection from the great beyond proves that no setback of the past few months could prevent the annual bout of terror.

The Haunted House had been run previously by the Little Theater troupe, but with the unexpected lack of a theater director, the Student Government Association volunteered to attempt this massive undertaking.

"It was a large project, for which the SGA could provide needed structure and organization," said Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities.

The Haunted House was officially cancelled Tuesday, Oct. 15, when circumstances forced the original coordinator to . resign her position. At that point, Mary Kate Grimley, SGA president, announced that because adequate leadership could not be provided, the Haunted House would have to be cancelled this year.

Wednesday morning three students, Bill Bass, freshman; Joseph Dodds, junior; and Michael ~hnson, sophomore, approached DiRaddo volunteering their services as coordinators.

"I was mad. I felt cheated," explained Bill Bass, freshman class president. "The upperclassmen were talking about how much fun last year's Haunted House was and we (the freshman class) felt denied that experience."

Also enticed into this arrangement as a coordinator was Beth Bittner, sophomore, junior varsity cheerleader. She commented, "I was concerned because the cheerleaders had a contract with SGA to do the Haunted House to finance new uniforms."

Upon completion of a·list of necessary preparations for restarting the Haunted House by the four coordinators, DiRaddo called a meeting Thursday, Oct. 17, to determine the attitudes of the student body towards completion of this project. The unanimous decision was "Go For It." What possessed Dodds, senior, to head up this gathering of ghouls? "I wanted to continue the tradition of a haunted house at Cabrini, but people were saying bad things about this years'. The night before (Tuesday, Oct. 15), I lay awake thinking, 'God! Am I making the right decision?' ...but God didn't answer," Dodds grins. "So I said to myself, 'If they decide yes tonight (Thursday, Oct.17), I'd know I'd made the right decision. I guess I'm in this to the end."'

Workers came out of the woodwork last weekend to create horrors with grim determination. They worked furiously to complete the project by midnight Tuesday, Oct. 22. Dress rehearsal was last night, the eve of opening night.

A true display of school "spirit?"

"The fact that we're offering a prize for the best room probably had something to do with it," suggests Mike Johnson, transfer. There is a $200 prize being offered for the best room as judged by those who pass through the Haunted House.

What does the SGA expect the profits to be for this year?

"To do more than break even would be nice," stated DiRaddo.

The Haunted House begins tonight and continues through Sunday with a final dose of poltergeists on Halloween night. Tours begin at 6 p.m. and the last tour of the night is at 9 p.m. Admission is $2 for general patronage, 75 cents for students with I.D., and 50 cents for children 6 years old and younger.

Trusteesendorseathleticboard

by Lisa Ann Rancatore

In a meeting held on Sept. 18, the Cabrini College Board of Trustees, endorsed a fund raising organization in which the trustees will work in conjunction with the athletic department. This organization was named the Athletic Advisory Board (AAB).

Those who were present at the meeting were Thomas Nerney, the principal architect of the AAB, and James J. Maguire, a trustee.

Also in attendence were Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president of Cabrini and a trustee, and John Heiberger, vice president for development and public relations.

Finally, representing the athletic -department were John Dzik, director of admissions and men's athletic director, and Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director.

It was at the meeting that Nerney, class of'77, and Maguire vocalized their desire to create an endowment fund for the benefit of Cabrini's Athletic Department.

Currie explained, '½.fter the discussion, the board's role was expanded into that of an advisory board. It's stated purpose," she continued, "is to advise the President on collegiate athletics and to plan and create an endowment/ capital fund for the promotion and

support of the athletic program of women as well.

anticipates that it could rise as high as $50,000 due to the formation of the AAB. As for the AAB funding an athletic trainer, it is still uncertain at this time as to whether the proper funds can be raised to provide one and the length of time it will take to raise them. There is also the question of the AAB being soley responsible for the funding of an athletic trainer.

Currie feels' an athletic trainer is something the school needs badly, but at this time it isn't feasable. -She said, "In my mind and heart it is on the top of the list of the athletic department's needs." Currie continued, "As soon as the funds become available, we want one."

Dzik commented, "It is certainly one of the things we are looking into, though it isn't a fundraising goal. The need for an athletic trainer is critical and should be a salaried position paid for by the institution, just as any other faculty member. The funding of a trainer is not the responsibility of the AAB, it is the responsibility of the college."

Heiberger was positive about the formation of the AAB. '½.nytime we can bring in people to volunteer their time to the college, it is a good thing."

Field Hockey The women's field hockey team captured

Ta/kin' Sports ••• b.j. petracci In June, the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) approved of the stiffest penalties ever to be assessed to those colleges and coaches who violate recruiting rules, amateurism and academic standards.

I am in total support of these stricter rules, which include: suspention of a team with two infractions within a five year period, dismissal of any coach involved and suspension of that colleges recruiting rights.

I find it appalling that the Memphis State's basketball team has managed to graduate only four members ofit's basketball team in the last 12 years and are still able to compete. I have difficulty understanding the lack of commitment these type of colleges feel towards their athletes.

I realize that to these universities, their sports teams are 'big business', but when Southern California admits over 300 athletes, in a ten year span, that did not meet their mimimum academic standards, I have to really wonder where the American higher educational systems set their priorities.

I know that in order to achieve the certain level of excellence that the 284, Division I schools expect, an athlete spends many hours of practice and gives up lot to achieve this high standard of physical excellence.

I therefore find it difficult to blame the athletes for getting caught up in this illegal system.

I tend to wonder how many 18 year olds are mature enough to realize that in the long run they are making a mistake by accepting an offer of four free years of 'the good life'in college. And the price is a mere playing of the sport, that is probably your favorite pastime.

I see these new stricter NCAA rules and the new involvement of college presidents into college athletics as a definite improvement over the current system.

But they have just touched the tip of the iceberg, in the dirt of college athletics. My hope is that they don't stop here and that these new rules will serve as only the beginning of an entire cleaning of NCAA athletics.

its first win of the season on an exciting 2-1 victory over Beaver College. The first half ended without any score.

Kim Toth, junior, opened the scoring, putting in the first goal of Cabrini's season.

Beaver was later to tie the score, but the Lady Cavs were hungry for this first win and would not give up that easily.

Sophomore Maria Lis drove up the field, with 19 minutes left, took the shot and once again Cabrini was in the lead. The final minutes were played entirely in the Beaver . end as the Lady Cavs dominated to preserve the victory.

Cabrini Cavaliers: the history of a name

by Kim Stevens "School colors? Got me!" It seems as if Peggy Carroll, junior, as well as several other students on campus don't know the true school colors. How about the Cabrini Cavaliers? How_many know the history behind the name? Not many.

Confusion about the school colors seem to come from the variety of colors seen around campus. Granted, all 'Cabrini' sweats, t-shirts, etc., come in an assortment of colors, but the athletic uniforms, cheerleading outfits, copybooks, folders, and the student handbook are blue and white, the official school colors.

According to Mother Ursala Infante, MSC, the school colors have great significance. "White stands for purity, and blue is

associated with our Lady," she said. These colors have been with Cabrini since the college was established, as a women's institution, in 1957. "I wanted the girls to look up to our Lady and imitate her purity," added Ursala.

Another cause of confusion, is the many different colors adorning each academic robe at graduation. Two colors can be seen on the lining of each hood; red and gold.

These colors were also chosen by Ursala, who said, "The red is for the love of the sacred heart, and the gold for His royality, symbolizing a God- centered institution.

Draping each gown is a velvet binding which signifies the degree conferred.

White indicates a degree in the arts, yellow in science, and light blue in education.

How was the name Cabrini Cavaliers

chosen? The name was officially chosen by war between Cromwell and the British the first men's basketball team, under the government, and many of those Cavaliers guidance of Dr. Joylan Girard, in 1975. were catholic."

According to Girard, the women's athletic Besides merely liking the name, the program had no name prior to the start of team wanted themselves to be rememmen's basketball.

"I told the team to go home, think of bered by this pro-catholic, romantic, and · aggressive stigma. some names, and then at the next practice At that time, the women's athletic prowe would discuss them and reach a consensus," said Girard. Among the names pro- gram did not have a name of its own, and were disappointtld with the name 'Cavposed were; the Saints, the Hill toppers, the aliers'. "The girls never liked it," said Ravens, and the Cavaliers.

The team finally decided on the Cav- Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director.

But since the women did not have a nickali'ers, mainly because it had a catchy quality and would spark interest when seen in name of their own they eventually became known as the Lady Cavs, as they are today. the newspapers, but there is some historical significance behind the name. Accord"We would not have picked a name had ing to Girard, '½. Cavalier was a seven- there been one. But there wasn't one," said teenth century supporter of the king in the Girard. And so the Cavalier history began.

New courts give team swing

by Jane Spencer This year's tennis team showed a marked improvement, with a record of 5 al).d 4, over last year's 1 and 8 season.

Maureen Dunnigan, junior, co-captain, named the possible reason for the dramatic change is, "All but two people on the team are new this year." Dunnigan and Marylynn Febbo, senior, co-captain, believe the new players are better than they've ever had. · Another reason for the team's improvement, is the new court on which the team practices. "Last year they had one outdoor court which was pitiful," Dunnigan said. Joe Dodds, head coach, agreed "Cabrini's tennis court may resemble a court but it isn't one. It's not lined. And there are weeds all over it."

Febbo affirmed, "There were acorns everywhere and we couldn't clean it each time before we practiced." In short, things did not look like they would be any different this season then they were last. ''The only practice we had was against the walls of the gym," Febbo said. Dunnigan complained,"T,here were-so many walls and you couldn't judge where the net would be on the wall, so you couldn't improve your game much." Dodds agreed, saying,

by Mary Sanderson Field hockey set the scene for the newly organizedjunior varsity (jv) cheer leading squad. Outfitted in blue and white the squad rooted on the Lady Cavs with loud choruses of "get up and go" and roaring verses of "r-o-w-d-i-e."

The squad was started in an effort to relieve the varsity squad from having to cheer at all the sporting events. Thejv squad responsibilities include cheering at field hockey and junior varsity basketball games.

The squad will alternate with the varsity cheerleaders for volleyball matches and women's basketball games.

There are eight women on the squad including captains Julie Hassler, junior, and Lori Johnson, sophomore. Hassler explained that organizing a jv cheerleading squad was basically an experiment. She said, "I hope that next year more women will be interested in joining.

Hassler feels the jv cheerleaders have the potential to do as well as varsity, but feels there is a definite distinction in the style of the two.

"We have a whole different manner of-cheering," she said.

The athletes also seem to feel optimistic about the squad. Chris Federico, freshman, field hockey player, said she thinks it is a good idea to have cheerleaders for women's sports as well as for men's.

She feels cheerleaders have the ability to bring out a certain spirit and enthusiasm to a game. "It is always good to know there are people supporting you and I feel the cheerleaders get more spectators to go to the games," she said.

Christina Petragnani, freshman, has never been on a cheerleading squad before. She said, "It is hard to get accustomed to cheering never having experienced it before.

Pam Esposito and Maureen Becker, sophomores, Were among the spectators for the cheerleaders' first game. They feel the squad did well for their first time. Becker also commented that there is a need for cheerleaders to increase the attendance of the spectators.

According to B.J. Petracci, junior, varsity cheerleader, "The jv ·squad has really improved from day one. Everytime I see them I am more and more impressed."

In an attempt to raise funds for the new squad, the cheerleaders will be helping out with the annual haunted house. Proceeds from the haunted house go to pay for their uniforms.

"Woodfloors make the ball bounce faster and your play ends up being faster. If anything it makes your game worse."

Two weeks before the end of the season, with a record of 4 and 2, Dodds complained to Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director about the need for courts. Goodwin agreed to let the team rent indoor space if Dodds could find a reasonable price.

Players soon began practicing at the Upper Gulph Racquet Club between 8:30 and 11:00 p.m. three nights a week.

"It was like turning on a iigl!_t.bulb,"Dodds exclaimed, "they had been so bummed out before without a place to practice.

Now they are playing better then I've ever seen them. Everyone is giving it their all."

"Once we got the indoor courts," said Yvonne· Kelly, senior, "everybody felt they were learni_ng something."

When asked about the potential for next year the players were very positive. Only three people are graduating and as Dunnigan said, "Ifwe get some more freshman we'll still have a good team." She added, "Ifwe continue to do well the athletic department will have to give us more and better hours at the racquet club."

Dodds hopes that the same players will return next year.

"The ability to expand is right there."

dedicated runner and has improved tremendously since the beginning of the semester."

FIELD HOCKEY Maria Lis, sophomore, and Kim Toth, junior, were both selected athlete of the week, by Coach Mimi Greenwood. Greenwood said, "Maria and Kim scored the first goals of the season, for our team, in our first win of tlie season against Beaver College."

TENNIS Once again Yvonne Kelly, senior, and Gina Strobel, freshman, have each been selected athlete of the week. Joe Dodds,junior, tennis coach, said, "Both Gina and Yvonne continue to play great tennis. They are playing first and second singles, respectively, and continue to dominate their opponents."

According to Villanova's head football coach, Andy Talley, "Coming to the games is a big social event on our campus."

"There were-so many different people there and they were so friendly and had so much spirit," said Lori Inverso, junior.

Cathy Pace, senior, added, "Cabrini and Villanova are grouped together no matter where you go. It's a matter of supporting your local team." Roseann Giardina, junior, was ecstatic about the experience. "Everyone was having such a great time. You didn't feel lost in the. crowd; you felt like you belonged there," she said.

"It is happening here," affirms Coach Talley.

Exploring alternatives to alcohol I' II bet you never expected to buy a strawberry daquiri at a club on Cabrini's campus. The time has arrived. No, the college has not liberated itself from the ideals that it was founded on, instead, it compromised.

Hopefully, you had the opportunity to attend Cabrini's first non-alcoholic club night. On Tuesday evening, Oct. 22, the resident life staff in conjunction with the student government association hosted an evening of entertainment and fun.

The endeavor of the non-alcoholic club was developed in consideration of alcohol awareness week and the ongoing concern of the increasing use of alcohol across campuses in the United States. Some of the concerns of students and the administration have been addressed through initiating the club. It is the hope of the coordinators that if successful, the club will continue on campus so that students will have an alternative to staying in and drinking.

Alcohol awareness week was kicked off with a concert by Marty Bear on Saturday, Oct. 19. Aside from the quality shows that Marty Bear performs, he also works diligently in his efforts toward alcohol awareness. The works of Bear have been recognized for some time. We were very fortunate to have him entertain at Cabrini as the onset of a week campaigning alcohol

awareness The enthusiasm and concern that Marty Bear brought to his performance was an inspiration for the initiation of the non- alcoholic club. The social activities board and the resident student association

What do you mean you don't have time?

I am writing on hehalf of the Cabrini chapter of PSEA, the Pennsylvania State Education Association. It has been my feeling that this club would be more active and productive if more students would open themselves up to becoming involved in a club pertaining to their major.

When I transferred to Cabrini in the fall of 1984, I really did want to meet other students, aside from those I lived with. I also wanted to get a feel for what was happening in education. Joining the education clubs seemed like a perfect

worked to produce an warm, welcoming club atmosphere. In this environment, students could comfortably enjoy themselves without feeling as though they were within the confines of a cinder block school building.

Besidesthe efforts of the club, in response to alcohol awareness, some students were seen wearing alcohol awareness T-shirts which were a part of the Marty Bear campaign. These shirts as well as buttons worn all week were a constant reminder of the effort to express the campus' concern with alcohol use and abuse.

After hearing story after story of accidents, suicides, and relational problems all related to alcohol use, we can't help but sincerely hope that the efforts of this past week will lead students to explore further the horrors involved in the abuse of alcohol.

Even if just a handful of individuals were affected by the week, the goal was accomplished.

opportunity to do so. I was right, it has been great fun.

College is a social experience as well as a career building experience.

I have thought about why students don't participate more in activities and clubs. Perhaps students don't feel like professionals yet. Perhaps students fear a committment to a club feeling that once they join, they can never say no. I have been asked this question often, "What do I have to do to be in the club?" Students in clubs don't have to do anything.

Clubs on campus are set up expressly for the students' benefit.

These clubs are a social experience and more importantly, career building blocks. Wouldn't it be better during a job interview to be able to cite clubs you were active in, discuss the activities sponsored by the club(s) and how these activities benefited you and the 9ommunity?

I feel that participating in several clubs on this campus have enriched my friendships as well as enhanced my career in education in the future.

It's time to make a move to a better future - join a club.

Evaluati6ns reveal confidence in executive board With the settling in of the 1985-1986 Student Government Asso.,ciation,

SGA, executiveboard, a surveywas distributed to the student body to comment on the effectiveness and productiveness of the board thus far.

"The survey was distributed so that the executive board could have some input from the students as to where we, the executive board, stood with the style and format of the Tuesday meetings," Mary Kate Grimley, SGA president said.

The survey consisted of questions that referred to the style, effectiveness, availability and consistency of the board as a whole, the Tuesday meetings, the handling of the issues thus far and length of the meetings.

In general, the attitude of the students toward the the executive board were positive. In questions regarding the availability and effectiveness of the executive board in their various positions, comments reflected an appreciation and confidence in the board. This confidence is also shown by the comfort felt with the style of delivery at the SGA meetings.

Concerning the attendence policy,

the thoughts were varied. A common suggestion was to take each case individually and reprimand either the club or the person. Other comments pertained to the amount of absences that constitutes reprimand from the executive board. The rule states, three absences results in dismissal from the voting assembly of SGA. Some individuals commented on both extending and reducing the amount of absences that would result in expulsion from SGA. The question that received the most comment was one regarding the length of the meetings. Most of the responses stated that the meeting time was long enough. But, if the need should arise when numerable topics or very important issues needed to be explored, the meetings should be extended to 45 minutes or one hour.

The SGA received an average return on surveys. Throughout the semester other surveys will be given to evaluate the SGA executive board.

If anyone wishes to comment on any ' area mentioned in the survey or excluded from the survey, please bring all concerns to the executive board or to the SGA weekly meeting.
