Date Rape:
A Reality on campus by Bernadette Demski
The names of the people in this article have been changed to protect their identity. Brad seemed like a nice enough guy, he was clean cut, and was very good natured. He had been dating Karen for ab·out two months. Tonight was a special night, Brad had asked Karen to the fraternity Valentine dance. Karen had looked forward to this night for weeks, she was sure she would have a great time. When Karen arrived her vision of the night was shattered. She recalls, ''All the girls were very drunk. I would dare to say that all the drinks were laced. I had four or five drinks and on the way home I passed out. I remember nothing happened in the car on the way home. But when we got back Brad took off my shirt and put a sweatshirt on me. When I fell asleep he began to get very sexually aggressive. It was at that point when I woke up, and began to feel sober. I demanded he get out. I thank God that I was able to sober up. I was also lucky that my roommate was sleeping in the room, maybe thats why h.e left without much of a fight.'' What if Karen hadn't sobered up, what if her roommate wasn't in and what if Brad efused to leave? Date rape, (or acquaince rapel especially on college campuses. i coming out of hiding. women who have experienced date rape in the past were silent, they were afraid to go to authorities. More women now are realizing that sexual harassment and rape are a crime, even if :he assailant is an acquaintance. A recent university study revealed that 75 percent of the coeds who had been forced into having sex were raped by a person they knew. Sue, a college student, had a traumatic experience. She was asked by a male friend to go to his room to have a drink. Sue initially said no, but after Fred coaxed her, she agreed to have one drink, after which she told him she would leave. While in Fred's room Sue said she was tired, and that she would_have to leave. Fred asked her to sleep there, then he began to kiss her. Sue recalls, "His roommate came in, and because I wanted to leave they put me in handcuffs, then his roommate left. As I struggled to break free from the handcuffs they got tighter around my wrist. While I was struggling to break free and pleading for him to take off the hand cuffs he kissed me and went up my shirt. Fred's roommate came back and went to sleep. I was still in handcuffs. Fred said, 'you can't sleep in those things can you?' He proceeded to tell me that he would take them off if I promised not to leave. I was so afraid that I promised." Sue continued, ''As soon as he took the cuffs off I tried to get out of the room, but every time I did, he grabbed me and threw me on the bed. I stayed on the bed until Fred fell asleep, then I ran for the door. I got back to my dorm at 7 a.m. I didn't talk to anyone about my experience, I try to block it out of my mind." The Resident Student Association (RSA) has organized a program called "Can We Talk" which are very informal gatherings with students from the campus. It deals with topics that the students want to talk about. The RSA recently held a "Can We Talk" session which concerned date rape. A video tape, made by students from Swarthmore College was shown. The students role played two typical scenes that may lead to a date rape.

800!-~GA resurrected the Haunted House, an annual Cabrini tradition, from the threat of demise. The campus and c~'!'mun,ty response was so overwhelming that the house was kept open for extended hours to accomodate the v,s,tors who came to explore the mysterious rooms and the ghoulish creatures inhabiting them.

No I.D. requiredi----by Cara Graham You're leaving your 6:30 class after you have had a very long day; you walk by the gathering area and you hear music playing and people talking and laughing. You see tables for two, candles, red checkered table cloths, friends, food and dancing. This was the setting for the club night at Cabrini last Tuesday, Oct. 22. lmagine all of this so close to home. "There were so many people there I was sure we would run out of refreshments," said Katie Grimley, SGA president. The evening started at 9 p.m. and ended at 1 a.m. "I was surprised that so many people showed up. The mix of classes was fantastic," said Grimlev. ·
There were waiters and waitresses wearing the Alcohol Awareness Week T-shirts. They consisted ofresident assistants, staff, and anyone who wanted to help out. According to Sister Julia Toto, who joined in the fun of the evening, it was an excellent social experience. Food and drink were provided for the patrons at a very low and reasonable cost. The menu consisted of snacks of popcorn, and pretzels for 25 cents a basket. The drinks, all non- alcoholic, were strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas for 60 cents a glass. Root beer was sold by the glass for 50 cents. Hors d'oeuvres consisted of mini quiche, egg rolls, pigs in a blanket, and potato skins, all sold by trays of12 for $1 or 5 for 50 cents.
Those who helped out had a good time seeing friends that they seemed to have lost contact with. Many students commented that it was a perfect way to relax after a busy day. A trip was planned to West Chester University on Thursday, Oct. 24, so that Cabrini students could also enjoy their non- alcoholic club, "Cheers". The times, however, were changed due to the lack of student participation. The next trip to "Cheers" will be posted at a later date. "We only placed a few fly~rs around campus. Most of our advertising was by word of mouth. It was great to see so many students ~n~ staff enjoy themselves," said Grimley. Smee the turnout was so outstanding we hope the following club nights will be just as sucessful."
New computerprogramB$Sists careeradvising by Peggie Federico The newest approach to career counsel ing is the purchase of a computer program that allows students to examine possible career choices. This program, called SIGI +, is divided into eight sections including: Self Assessment, Search, Information, Skills, Preparing, Coping, Deciding and Next SteJ!s. As these sections indicate, this program allows the student to request information on prospective careers. The program is set up not only to inform about various careers
but also to present values and skills in an effort to see what careers would fit the individual according to their responses. It takes the student one step further by showing them how prepare for their choice and get started. The program is available to all students, as is the whole career counseling center. It's there to evaluate, develop, and act upon the liberal qualities necessary to succeed in the world after college. These qualities defined in the Cabrini Catalogue are a critical part of the overall college educational plan.
"The majority of students who come to the career counseling center are seniors," Donna Seckar, director of career counseling, said. "Their chief concerns are getting a job or acceptance into graduate school." Seckar's main role as a career counselor i~ to talk to students about their major and direct _them towards a career. There are numerous books available for st~dents who want t? ~now more about a parti~ular field. ~ ~ddition, Seckar spon~ors various career aidmg. workshops he~~mg future graduates with resume writmg and the art of being interviewed for a job.

Projectoutreach needs publici1y Did you know that the opportunity exists for students to travel to a foreign country to live and work in other Cabrini- affiliated institutions? If you answered 'no,' you're not alone; this opportunity, Project Outreach, is one of the greatest and least-known of our college assets. The entire concept of the project is perfect, fitting ideally into the Cabrini model of the liberally educated person: students would learn adaptability in living in foreign surroundings, gain knowledge of an alternate society and customs, relate the significance of world events, realize the common bonds within the Cabrini organization. It seems a mutually beneficial arrangement in that the student would be able to broaden their curriculum, and the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart would have a goodwill student ambassador. Then why isn't the project well-publicized?
Project Outreach, is one of the greatest and least-known of our college assets A mere handful of students knows anything about the program. There are no widely circulated guidelines on how to apply for the program, who is eligible, when is the deadline for application. Confusion still exists as to who is in charge of the project - campus ministry or the office of the president.
All students should have an equal opportunity to compete for such a program. Yet lack of information has decreased their chances for involvement. Project participation should be looked at as an honor, awarded at convocation ceremonies. We recommend 1) publicizing the program, giving everyone a the chance to apply 2) forming a committee to facilitate the selection process 3)treating the project as a top honor. Project Outreach has emerged as the beginnings of a pearl in an oyster; it can be a mere piece of sand appreciated by an elite few, or a beautiful pearl, treasured by many. Either outcome depends upon how it's cultivated.
In last week's article on 'solidarity in Nicaragua,' Somoza was misspelled. Mother Ursula Infante's and Dr. Jolyon Girard's names were also misspelled. We regret these and all errors.

Letter to the Editor; Sunday, October 20, I went to 6 p.m. mass at Cabrini expecting a normal celebration of the Eucharist. Unfortunately, I found myself attending a pro-life rally masquerading as a mass. The priests' whole sermon was not on the gospel but on the pro-life stand in the abortion issue. Now I am personally against abortion and maybe if the mass had been offered up for all those people who had died from abortions, (and I do mean people, because that is what they are), I would have attended. But the mass wasn't, and I left at the offertory procession in anger at those who scheduled this "mass" per se and did not notify anyone of its real purpose. Another thing, according to the priest, he was invited here by the college to say this "mass," and I have yet to hear the college announce a speaker coming to the college to talk about the pro-choice side of the issue. This I think infringes on our human rights, which the priest at the "mass" was espousing, and that right is the freedom to listen to whatever we want and also to believe in what we want to believe in, not what we are always told to believe in. Sincerely, John Callinan. freshman

Horrorcommercials spur spirits
Did you ever notice that television networks always seem to play their horror movie commercials at night when you're alone in the house? "Don't go into the kitchen, don't look behind you, don't open the closet, and don't you dare turn off the lights" they warn with such urgency that you're riveted to a two foot space on the floor in front of the television, risking starvation and kidney failure over meeting "whatever's out there." So paranoid that a mass-muderer was at the door, I called the police, only to have them nearly arrest my own brother, who was returning home from work and had forgotten his keys. The fear of that horror movie commercial (the stimulus that has your mind creating strange noises, shadows and circumstances) was a real phobia for me, especially at age 16, the height of my babysitting career. I babysat at an old, creaky house that sat atop a hill, CI swear it was the model for Hitchcock's "Psycho"). The hallway lights never worked, the heater made unusual noises, and there was an actual meat locker in the basement {honest!>.The house also had about 100 windows and no shades. Anyone could've been watching me - and certain that someone was always watching, I watched television with a blanket over my head. It didn't help that the boy's mother, a believer in spirits (both of the supernatural and alcoholic kinds),insisted on telling me the history of the house. "It's haunted,'' she bluntly stated. "The former owner died in the bedroom. But don't worry, they're happy haunts." How encouraging! So I'd sit near the door camped out in front of the television with my "spook survival kit:" the phone - to call Mom if anything happened (what she could've done 15 miles away, I don't know); a cross - the Catholic school remedy for any devilish being; potato chip munchies - which probably wouldn't help, but certainly didn't hurt. Then, five minutes into an "Odd Couple" re-run it happened: the scary commercial. I couldn't just shut off the television because the silence would've been maddening. Ifl changed the channel. l knew l'd.iust see a more horri-
virginia a. smith ble commercial, so I just sat with my eyes closed, hands on my ears, humming. Thinking it was over, I'd peek between my fingers in just enough time to see the crazed attack the babysitter from behind. That seemed to set off a chain reaction in the house. Behind me on the porch, I heard the sound of something dropping and dragging. like a huge axe or a ,:tring of chains. A whistle sounded suddenly. The living room lights flicked momentarily. And I sang all the religious songs I knew. Those events have since been explained: the dropping,dragging sound was the boy's big wheel tryicycle which fell off the picnic table and was blown across the porch by the wind. The whistle was a pot of tea I had forgotten about. The flicking lights happened throughout the area that night since a fallen tree had severed a power line. There was on spooky incident, however, which I haven't been able to explain to date. I heard walking upstairs near the boy's room, and thinking he was traveling in his sleep, I went to his room to check him. He was sound asleep in his bed, deep into his dreams (I checked his eyes just to make sure). Then I heard the walking again, looked around, but couldn't find anything, except .. .in the bedroom, the old rocker moved slowly forward and backward. Happy haunts? An overactive imagination? If I were you, I wouldn't take any chances. With the moon full, the haunted house operational and the Cabrini legends at their peak, I wouldn't be left alone in the house or dorm.

Project OutreachInternsmade aware of harassment Students by Virginia A. Smith become world travelers To prepare department interns for possi, ble conflicts on the job, Cathy Yungmann,, English and communications teacher, invited a speaker to discuss the topic of sexual harassment.
by Larry P. Aquino Project Outreach enables students to branch out with new experiences while benefitting others as good-will ambassadors. As a Project Outreach volunteer, you can travel to foreign countries, meet new people and experience a new culture. Project Outreach is a Christian se~ice program under the guidance of Cabrini College. The college places student volunteers for a summer, a semester, or more, · throughout the United States and the world in the community service institutions of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. Student volunteers help and work in various schools, hospitals and social establishments of the Cabrini family. • The purpose of the project is to provide the student volunteer with the opportunity to be of service to less privileged people; to live and work with a community of people with similar goals; to use and develop professional skills, related to the student's field of study; and to help determine ways to use the professional skills to serve others in the future. In the context of Cabrini College and the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Project Outreach is a program which exemplifies all qualities of the Cabrini community. Project Outreach was started in 1976 by Joseph Romano, vice- president of academic affairs and Suzanne Toton, associate professor of religious studies, Villanova University. Romano said, "When we initiated this project, very few people knew the wide international scope of Cabrini College. We are one of 95 Cabrini institutions and we should use the other institutions to broadenthe experiences of our students." The program was met with much eagerness when Romano and Toton first presented the concept of Project Outreach at a meeting attended by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart from the Cabrini institutions all over the country and the world. Toton recalled the response of a senior of the Argentinian sisters. "She met the project with much enthusiasm. She felt no obstacles would get in our way and that the sisters would do everything in their power to get it started," Toton said. Initial contact to become involved with Project Outreach is with Sister Eileen Currie, president, M.S.C., this year's coordinator. The program is open to anyone who is interested in helping in the context of the Cabrini community throughout the United States and different parts of the world. "Project Outreach is one way that students can be in touch with people from a different geographic region. These are people with specific needs and it gives the student an opportunity to serve the people directly," Currie said. Virginia Smith, junior, travelled to Buenos Aires, Argentina as a Project Outreach volunteer, lecturing about life in the United States to grammar and high school students. Smith recalled a memorable moment during her stay in Argentina. "I realized the cliche 'it's a small world' when I taught a group of second graders how to sing 'ltsy Bitsy Spider' in English and they taught me the same song in Spanish." "It helped them realize that just because I'm American and a foreigner, this doesn't mean our worlds are different. The key to the project is that it builds international understanding, one on one, with a rippling effect building from one person to another," Smith said. Barbara Colantuono, senior is interested in becoming a Project Outreach volunteer during the next summer. When asked why she wants to become involved with the project, Colantuono said, "I feel this is an excellent opportunity for me to experience a different culture. In addition, I am also excited to be able to reach out to others in some way and to learn something from them as well."
A senior who took an internship experienced a very aggressive man. "He worked in the same office as me, and I had no idea he had his eye on me until my last day. He asked me out, and he seemed nice enough so I agreed. After dinner he said he had to pick up something at his apartment. We were sitting on the couch watching tv and before I knew it he had turned the lights off and started getting sexually aggressive. I immediatly stood up and demanded he take me home, which he did, but not before saying, 'let's just have a little fun'." "It's a fact of life that exists in the real working environment and students need to become aware of it," Yungmann said. "Interns especially are succeptible to harassment because, new to the field and eager to learn, they are naive to what's standard and what's abnormal business practice." The speaker was Elissa Dorfsman, former general sales manager for WCAU FM. Dorfsman recently received a large cash settlement from the CBS affiliate company in retribution for their negligency in handling a two year old sexual harassment case. Dorfsman resigned in September, 1985 after 12 years of award-winning work within the company. Dorfsrnan describes herself as "recoghized and respected within the field" as well as "easy-going," and "able to tell a joke," but when the harassment incident first occurred, she found herself unable ~ act. The incident occurred at a dinner for personnel and clients in the broadcasting field. Dorfsman's boss, a vice president of national commercial sales for the Phila-
CEC MEMBERS ADDRESS NATIONAL CONFERENCE Members of the Council of Exceptional Children made a presentation last Thursday at a national education conference. The CEC members who attended the conference were the following: Seniors Mary Beth Brady, Vicki Leahy and Kim Shields, Junior Lisa Nolan, Sophomores Pam Brown, Peggy Emerich and Kim Lowry.
The students made presentations to those on the subject of self-expression in terms of working with special education students. The presentation by the Cabrini students was reportedly "very successful," with 71 people in attendance.

delphia area, approached her, obviously intoxicated. He suddenly grabbed the foxtail she was wearing around her neck, reached between her legs and pretended to pull out the tail, making obscene, boisterous comments on the action.
"I was utterly mortified and felt powerless to act," Dorfsman said. '¼II ofmy colleagues and clients witnessed it. I felt violated and wanted to crawl into a hol" and disappear." This feeling of helplessness is the common effect that prevents most victims from seeking retribution or prosecution in sexual harassment cases. "I knew the only way I could regain respect in my.position was to regain that feeling of being in control...(so) I was determined to fight this case to the end." The federal government has issued guidelines on sexual harassment which state that it is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In part, the regulation states that harassment is defined as "unwelcome advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature ..." According to the pamphlet "Power Pinch: Sexual Harassment in the Work'place," 42 percent of the women surveyed in the federal workforce feel they have been sexually harassed. Though the majority of reported harassment cases involve female victims, statistics say that one out of four males have also experienced some form of harassment. Yungmann said that harassment incidents are common especially in the mass communications field, (though not exclusively) partly because women are new to the formerly male- dominated business, and partly because dinner, cocktails and favors are major devices in client relations. Yungmann described some incidents
ELEVENTH ANNUAL MILITARY CHRISTMAS MAIL CALLConcerned, thoughtful Amei:icans have for the past decade been making Christmas more joyous for members of the Armed Forces of the U.S. through Christmas Mail Call. Mail received from aross the nation is sorted into some 150 or more bundles and sent to destinations across the U.S. and around the world for distribution to members of our Armed Forces. Nationaily, the top five colleges in the 1984 Christmas Mail Call were: (1) Boise State University, (2) Florida Keys Community College, (3) Southeastern Massachusetts University, (4) Western Illinios University, (5) Oklahoma State University. The number one Pennsylvanian college in the 1984 Christmas Mail Call was Millersville University. Mail Call is an exciting project for groups, organizations, families, individuals, and especially schools. For complete information, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Military Mail Call, Box 6390, Fort Bliss, Texas 79906.
which she incurred: "I was the only women director of an allmale crew and one day I discovered that they had cut a hole in the bottom of the stairs so that they could stand under and look up my dress as I walked up." Yungmann also described an incident when a client said he would agree to accept her videotape product only if she spent the weekend in the Poconos with him.
While harassment of some type is statistically a common event, students listening to Dorfsman's speech were surprised at its' frequency. "It (the lecture) gave me such a knot in my stomach," said Christy Mason, sophomore. "I had always thought the business was so professional, that I'd have to develop skills, not defense, to survive. It scared me." "I couldn't believe a woman in such a high position had been assaulted," said Charles Dodds, junior. Dorfsman said, "I was in a position of long tenure. I had proven myself, set records, won awards, yet when the incident occurred, the company brushed me off. I thought 'my God, if they're doing this to me, what will they do to a timid secretary?"' While most victims can't afford the cost, both in dollars and emotions, involved in taking a harassment case to prosecution, (carrying out the case cost Dorfsman $15,000 in lawyer's fees, and damaged her relationship with her father, still a vice president with CBS), action can be personally taken in minor cases.
"In many cases, women can't risk reporting incidents for fear oflosing jobs, and not succeeding. The best way then t~handle it, I think, is to make your position clear and to always have a line handy - you know, something to make them feel so stupid and embarassed they won't attempt it again."

Student leaders s College student leaders assumed or were voted into their positions of authority for the leadership qualities they exhibit among their peers. However, their positions also charge them with the responsibility to be aware and form positions on pressing issues. There of various ways of expressing these concerns. College students, nationally, have stood in protests; some wrote letters expressing their thoughts, and others simply sat down to think up ideas on how to beat the system. Here, student leaders of Cabrini College are confronted with the question, "What do you think are the big issues facing college students today?"

Students are on their own for the first time. They make all the decisions without their parents watching over them. They are responsible for themselves and must face the consequences of their actions." "I think the problems relating to alcohol, sex and schoolwork stem from the initial problem of independence. Students may find it hard to decide where they stand in relation to this problem."
Michelle M. Bamber, Society for Collegiate Journalists national council reprentative "Nuclear war. The possibility of such a world contastrophy occurring at any time really scares me. All the legislators making the decisions today are not taking our concerns on this issue into consideration, and we college students are the ones who will be picking up the pieces."

Another big issue of major concern to the student body of America is campus security. To ensure the security of the students should be a primary concern. The safety and well-being of the individual from theft, harrasment and rape provide a more relaxed and peaceful environment which enables the student to further themselves in academic and extracuricular activities."

Karen Ricca, president of the pre-law club "I feel that a big issue that faces college students, even more so for women, is the 'super-person' image. You are expected to be two people at once; the person you want to be and the person that has to deal with the realistic aspects of life. Just because 'I"' you have a college education doesn't mean you are invisible." Patrick McKenna, president of Biology Club, resident assistant, medical assistant "I think a big issue that faces college students is the issue of just how good a college degree is these days. It used to be that a Bachelor's degree was good enough to get you a really good job. Nowadays, anybody and everybody has a Bachelor's degree, and it just doesn't seem to be good enough. It really makes you stop and think." ' Brian Feeley, â&#x20AC;˘ social activities director for SGA '½.lcohol consumption. Drinking alcohol and partying plays a key issue in college.

Clements:Witnessto war by Gia DiGiminiani
Charlie Clements graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine in 1980, at the age of 34, with a special award for his "outstanding clinical competence and unusual promise as a leader of medicine." But instead ofjoining a hospital staff or starting a medical practice as others would expect, Clements had other ideas. Clements, now 39, has risked what others in his field considered "professional suicide." In March 1982, he secretly entered El Salvador to become a physician for civilians in a guerrilla-controlled zone, the Guazapa front, near San Salvador. Clements, dedicated to the cause of El Salvador as a medic and now as an advocate of a negotiated political settlement, will speak next Thursday at 11:10 a.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall. Like Former Ambassador Robert E. White, who addressed students last Tuesday, Clements is an advocate of human rights towards the Salvadoran civilians in America's dealings with El Salvador. Previous to his involvement in El Salvador, Clements was a Distinguished .Graduate in 1967 of the U.S. Air Force
news
Academy. As a C-130 pilot he flew more than fifty missions in Vietnam and grew gradually more disillusioned with the U.S. role in that conflict. He discontinued flying in 1970 and made a personal commitment to non-violence by becoming a member of the Quaker religion. The Air Force, deciding he was psychiatrically disabled due to his refusal to fly, medically discharged him with the rank of captain in 1971. His experience with Salvadoran refugees at the Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, California, coupled with the news from Central America, brought him echoes ofU.S. involvement in Vietnam. He, therefore, negotiated a medically neutral role in the opposition-controlled zone of El Salvador. In Guazapa, a 225 square :mile area just 25 miles north of the Salvadoran capital city, Clements was responsible for the care of 10,000 civilians and helped launch several public health programs. He was, however, limited by his lack of proper medical supplies, but these restrictions did not hinder his accomplishments. In an effort to combat widespread anemia, he had taught the peasants to
place a nail in a glass of water for 24 hours before drinking the water. Clements own health also suffered during this period. Living on the standard diet of two tortillas and a handful of beans three times a day, Clements lost 35 pounds. At one point he came down with dengue fever and lay delirious and dangerously ill for two weeks. Clements returned to the United States intending to stay only a few months to raise money for desperately needed medical supplies. He' helped found the Salvadoran Medical Relief Fund for this effort. He soon realized, however, that the U.S. public need to be informed about U.S. policy in the Ceqtral American region. To this end, he has t'lstified in Congress, traveled across the country on speaking tours, appeared in many national media discussions, written an account of his experiences in his book, "Witness to War: An American Doctor in El Salvador," and started Americans for Peace in the Americas, an organization reflecting Clements' beliefs. The topic of his lecture at Cabrini will be "Healing the Wounds of War in El Salvador: An American Physician's Religious Journey."
Trish Reilly Richard D Roth. Jr. Patricia Reilly, station manager for WCAB, campus radio station "I think that one of the things that always has been a major issue and always will be a major issue is the factor of money." "The reason for this lingering problem is the rising cost of college, not to mention the cutback of federal funds." "It is a shame that money has to put such a harrier between people and the chance to further their future."
Kate Grimley Richard D. Roth. Jr. Katie Grimley, president of SGA, president of campus ministry, "Lack of self-esteem. I would have to say that this is a result of the hard times that the normal college student goes through. I feel that students spend too much time looking into other people rather than looking into their own qualities. This has a tendency of confusing the college student and then lowering their self-esteem."
Date rape Karen's experience with Brad left a terrible impression on her. Brad had not called Karen for over a week after the incident occured, and when he did call he acted as if nothing happened. After Brad, Karen didn't trust any guy for about five months. She felt as if all guys were after sexual gratification. Another student remembers a date she had with a very nice guy. "He took me to the U.S. Pro Indoor Tennis Tournament, then we went back to his room. He kissed me, then he had the nerve to start unbuttoning my shirt! I immediatly grabbed his hand and said,'I'm not like that!" We talked it over and he respected me to the utmost. We went out for two months, and he never laid a hand on me." One uppercla!-,;man had a message which she fPlt was import.ant for everyone to know, "You don't have to have a boyfriend to feel important. Find yourself, then find some one el!:'e.Don't ever give in to a guy. Your body is special, don't give it to a total stranger. Remember sex lasts an hour, love lasts forever."

TheGreenhouse:
Offeringalternativesund3ybrunchgetaway by Areta Hladky Nestled between suburban Main Line roads about two short miles from Cabrini, The Greenhouse restaurant is affordable and satisfying enough for a college students' "a bit more fancy tastes." Although it's location may not be ideal for businesses, it seems to¡generate a good share of customers.
-Review---The Greenhouse portrays a comfortable, at-home atmosphere overflowing with greenery, and a country-like setting. Enclosed within the Greenhouse structure are well-spaced tables for dining covering four rooms and a large bar. The staff shows applausible service, keeping the coffee cup filled and the crumbs out of sight. Our waitress was very efficient and always within ears reach. Food at The Greenhouse was quickly but caringly prepared. And, in terms of quality, not a morsel of western omelette or chicken crepes in H thick mushroom sauce wen~ left behind after my Sunday brunch. The cost of brunch ranges between $14 to $25 per couple. It includes: a basket of bagels and corn muffins with a variety of toppings(cream cheese, butter, or jelly ), drinks, a main course and pecan pie for dessert. Unfortunately, dinner prices at The Greenhouse exceed most college students' '.mdgets. But in terms of escaping Minella's or Dennys' doldrums, lunch or a weekend brunch at The Greenhouse is well worth the few extra dollars.

Commuters enjoy living off-campus by Christy Mason The college life: parties, late night studying in dorm hallways, independence from home and perhaps academics. These are all a part of events as they happen on campus. But do students living off-campus and commuting daily to college also live the stereotypic college life? According to Georgianne Zouzoulas, freshman, "Sometimes I feel separated. There are parties that I'm not invited to because I don't know many residents." But according to some commuting residents, involvement and participation in various clubs and activies on campus is important to "college life." Debbie Peacock, senior, SGA treasurer and history club president, claims she is often mistaken as a resident because of her involvement in college activities. "I'm really involved with the residents," Peacock said, "and I have an equal amount of commuting and resident friends. However, I sometimes feel like I share stronger bonds with my resident friends because they're more able to be involved than are my commuting friends." Unlike Peacock, some commuters view the campus as a place to learn and not a place to socialize; they feel their social life exists off-campus where they live and have part-time jobs. "I live really close(to Cabrini)and have more fun at home than I do here," Amy Stevens, sophomore, said. Some students view living off-campus and commuting daily advantageous as compared to living on campus. "You get a broader perspective living offcampus," Belinda Bainbridge, senior, former resident said. "You're not as isolated as you are when you're on campus." Also a former resident, Martha Bradley, sophomore, believes it's easier and more convenient to study at home now that she commutes. "I can sleep in my own bed and not worry about the noise when people are coming home from Partners Pub," Bradley said. "I
can concentrate more on school work because I don't have people pressuring me to cut class."
'You get a broader perspective living offcampus. -Belinda Bainbridge, senior, former resident Paying approximately $5000 for tuition and fees, some commuting students find not having to pay an additional room and board fee an advanatage despite having to fight rush hour traffic and inclement weather. But living off-campus can have its disadvantages. Many students are unable to
participate in certain activites because they are held at night, an inconvenient time for commuters to be on campus. According to Kitty Kelly, junior, "We don't know what's going on most of the time and it's hard to find out. I don't see residents as often as commuters. Commuting feels a lot like being back in high school." To help assist commuters in these situations, the commuter affairs club provides a means for students not residing on campus to discuss problems and be represented in the Student Government Association. "Some commuters are overwhelmed by the number of r~sidents," Mary Beth Brady, senior, commuter club president, said. "The club helps them know they have something to say in college life." , Among other events, the commuter club is in charge of the upcoming dance marathon, a fundraiser for senior citizens, to be held November 8 and 9.

Left-handed versus right by Areta Hladky Left-handers account for approximately ten percent of the population. Why has nature bothered with left or right hand dominance? Surprising theories suggest much can be assumed about a person's talents and abilities simply based on whether they are left or right handed. The newest theory proposed by the late Dr. Norman Gesehwind who, until a year ago was a prominent neurologist at Harvard Medical school, found that the unusual brain organization among lefthanders originates in the developing brain of the fetus. Not only do the majority of left-handers posse¡ss high mathematical and verbal abilities but left-handed individuals tend to be highly developed in terms of spatial t,asks such as recognizing faces or perceiving patterns. Evidence shows a greater number of architects, engineers and mathematically gifted people are left-l\anded. While right-handed individuals, with a dominating left hemisphere, generally have little trouble, for the most part, taking in sequential information such as a language or keeping to the beat of music. In addition, right-handers are generally agreed by scientists to be far more positive thmking individuals due to the left hemisphere composition make-up. Having a dominating right hemisphere in the brain, left- handers are far' more pessimistic because the frontal region of the right hemisphere, often refered to as the R-mode, is the seat of negative emotions, such as disgust and sadness. While those who are right handed may be happy to learn their dominating left hemisphere, is the seat of positive emotions-like happiness.

Area collegesprovide options by Debbi Maida Have you checked the master class schedule and not been able to find an elective to suit you?

Attending German classes at Eastern College because Cabrini does not offer it, Gary Firestein, sophomore chose German as an elective because he has taken it during high school. There is no inconvenience involved in off-campus classes, according to Horsley. "I like taking a course off-campus, it gives me a chance to see what other colleges are like." The only real disadvantage is with conflicting class scheduling, according to Smith and Firestone. Returning from the other colleges, they both are several minutes late for their classes here at Cabrini. As a whole the majority of the twenty students that must take courses elsewhere find no conflict or problem with this type of system.
'Dreamgirls'unmasksrealitiesof music industry by Donna Horsley Absorbing its elegant decor, elaborate tapestry and unique architectural style, it's easy to forget the realities of life existing beyond the doors of the Forrest Theatre in the cold city night outside. On stage, the six 'Tony-Award-winningBroadway Smash "Dreamgirls" cleverly unmasks realities of a different sort; the often cruel and lonely world of the music industry. The famed producer-director and choregrapher of Tony Award winner, "A Chorus Line," Michael Bennet, strikes again as "Dreamgirls" delightfully entertains audiences on its four week engagement ending Nov. 10. Depicting three innocent young girls from Chicago aspiring to stardom in the '60s, "Dreamgirls" resembles the lives of Motown's Supremes and the eventual rise to fame of its lead singer, Diana Ross. But cle.arly, "The Dreams" represents any '60s Motown group and the perils associated with not only an unpredicatable profession, but of a racial discriminating era. Act 1 shows the transformation of "The Dreams" from naive schoolgirls to stage performers. Effie White (Sharon Brown), the trio's lead singer is smitten by a smooth

Rawlings, Jr.) Holding on to her hometown ties the longest, the beautifully innocent Deena Jones (Deborah Burrell) is oblivious to, not just the changes within the group as a result of stardom, but to the lustful eyes of Curtis. Some of the funniest and most memorable scenes in the play are in the first act. Unaccustomed to stage wigs, seedy professionals and the music industry's environment, it is amusing watching "The Dreams" grow into seemingly mature, "worldly" women. And the comic but tender relationship between Lorre! and James Thunder is forever identifiable. With warm humor and a delicate sense, Bennet shows racial discrimination as it existed in the '60s.

plaining Effie, paralleled by "The Dreams" climbing success. Scene five, Act 2 captures the rekindling of sibbling love between Effie and brother C.C .. After seeing Curtis for the thoughtless, greedy louse he was, C.C. asks forgivenss from his sister and the chance to manage her career once again. At one point envious of Deena, you can't help but feel sorry for her as she also learns Curtis' deceptions; realizing he was more in love with the idea of using her as a catalyst to fulfill his own dreams than being a caring husband to her. Realizing ih.i Deena decides there is more for her than "The Dreams" and it is here that the group finally dispands. Although "Dreamgirls"' spoken dialogue is at times hard to understand and its plot not earthshattering, the cast and its singing is stupendous and amazingly clear. It is a moving show with a touching message: "Open your eyes to what is in front of you," for sometimes you're disillusioned as to what your true dreams are.

Deena, Lorre} and Effie accept segregation and realize success will come about only by crossing over from "~ythm and Blues" to the "Frankie Avalon" type singing of the day. Although the plot is, for the most part, predictable; representing the rise to fame of the underdog and happily ever after ending story, it is not ho-hum because of its remarkable talented cast. With their gifted abilites, small stories develop paralleling the rise to fame story of "The Dreams." In scene 11, Act 1, Effie powerfully sings the spine tingling '~nd I am telling you I am not going" after realizing Curtis has gone beyond simply removing her from lead singer and placing the more beautiful and stage appealing Deena in her part. But Effie learns she has been ousted from "The Dreams" entirely and replaced by Michelle Morris (Luecinda Ramseur), comparable to Deena in beauty.

Thrift shops provide bargains, unique fashions by Bonnie Zischang special to the Loquitur "They're just boxes of junk," my mother used to say, always trying to sort out and throw away items from my grandmother's outdated collection. My mother would make secret trips to the Salvation Army after she gathered together the boxes and bags of clothes and brica-brac that she called "junk." I r.ever understood why my mother was so anxious to discard what she thought were worthless articles in my grandmother's attic, when I found it exciting to rummage through the old items and try-on the clothes. Eventually the moth-eaten pleated skirts, button-down sweaters and spectator pumps were added to my wardrobe. It was those repeated encounters with the clothing and bric- a-brae in my grandmother's attic that aroused my interest in thrift shopping for other old-fashioned items. Despite what some people think, thrift shops are more than just junk stores where poor people go in desperate search of hand-me-down clothing. Thrift shops carry a unique line of the most fun and outmoded styles of dress for the person who wants to look a little different, not to mention a variety of modern stylish wear, where you can get chic clothing at a reasonable price. A'ny person who appreciates a bargain, whether they be a resourceful housewife, a student with a limited budget, or a person with a taste for the antique, would like thrift shopping. While such bargain stores are gaining more popularity today, they are really nothing new. Most thrift shops have been in existence for a long time. The Neighborhood League Shops have been in existence since 1925, and is one of the first thrift stores on the Main Line, according to Louise J. Young, volunteer and staff worker who has been there since it opened. The Neighborhood League Shop, located in Wayne, is one of three stores: the Alley Door (strictly donations), a clothing sales shop (clothes on consignment), and a household shop, said Young. According to Young-,the Neighborhood League Shop originated from the Neighborhood League Nursing Service, which is an organization of _visiting nurses and an dental clinic. People began to donate clothing and household articles to help support the nursing service. Today the profits go toward furthering the work of the center. Each Neighborhood League Shop has a distinct personality. Clothing and bri-a-brac at the Alley Door ranges in price from .25 (for shirts, books) to $10 (for woolen coats) with a majority of the clothing priced at $1. Disadvantages of the store is its small size ,more out-ofdate clothing, and lack of a dressing room. The advantages are obvious: if you happen to find an attractive shirt or skirt that fits, you've scored a bargain. The Clothing Sales Shop, on the other hand, is composed of sevecal neatly organized rooms where currentstyle clothing is found according to size. Here, the average sweater price is $5. "Clothing here (at the Sales Shop) is more expensive than at the attic Door because we deal in consignment here, which means we are selling these clothes for other people, and we rect;ive a commission from each sale,"
The newest thrift store in the area, open since last October is Marigolds Resale shop, located in Stratford. Marigolds, run by two recent college graduates from West Chester, Joan and Joyce Wronoski, is one of the only private thrift stores that carries high quality boutiquelike clothing. "The· difference between Marigolds and other thrift stores is we are more selective. We only take designer clothes that are in style, in good. condition and in season," said Joan Wronoski. Wronoski added. "We have been doing business with a lot of college students from Villanova, Eastern and Cabrini." Mary Beth Cunney, senior, "Thrift Shop Thelma," as her co- workers call her admitted that just about everything she owns comes from thrift stores. "Its like a treasure hunt. In thrift stores, you have to search for just the right item and when you find it you have an almost sure guarantee that you will not see it on anyone else," said Cunney. Virginia Smith, junior began frequenting area thrift shops out of necessity when a majority of her winter clothes were stolen last season. "I needed sweaters immediately for my trip to South America, but I couldn't afford to replace them all at shopping mall costs. I was surprised at what good-condition clothes I got for a nandful of dollars at stores like Marigold's. That shop's practically a budget Bamberger's.
said Helen Myers, shop volunteer. "We only accept instyle, in-season good condition clothing." The Thrift Shop of the Bryn Mawr Hospital is the next oldest bargain store, according to Joan Michaels, a volunteer worker.
'It'slikea treasurehunt.In thrift stores,you haveto searchforjust the rightitemand when youfindit you havean almostsure guaranteethatyouwillnotsee it on anyoneelse' -MaryBeth Cunney Senior Michaels commented, "More young people, especially college students are going to thrift shops today in comparison to years ago. Mostly they buy clothing and costume jewelry while some buy the heir loom items and other articles."
"Now it's become almost an obsession with me " Smith, continued. "The big thrill comes when you stu~ble onto something great-looking for a few dollars and people comment how great it looks when you wear it. Meanwhile you laugh to yourself." Although thrift stores seem to be the ultimate alter- · native for the struggling college student who does not have a lot of money, and seems ideal for someone who wants to deviate from the normal code of dress, that kind of shopping is not for everyone. Laura Firely, senior, thinks that buying and wearing other people's clothes "is disgusting." Firely commented "Yiou never kn ow who's body the clothes have been on. I'd' rather go to Marshals where you get the quality instead of the wear," she said. Sr. Christine Baltas; M.S.C., dean of students, on the other hand, enjoys thrift shopping and considers the Bryn Mawr Thrift Shop to be the queen of all thrift shops in the area. . •~t the Bryn Mawr Thrift Shop I found a very expensive Evan Picone gray skirt, in perfect condition, that cost me only $2. I also find a lot of very pretty blouses at great prices," said Baltas. Robert Marchesani, senior, describes his first thrift shop experience. ''The first time I ever went to a thrift store, I couldn't believe the quality of clothing. The pair of pants I bought for $2 are the pants I wear all of the time." _ Senior Bernadette Demski, who became familiar with thrift shops when she was a little girl, summed up how she felt about bargain stores. "You can find things in thrift shops that you can't find anywhere else not even in your own attic." '

Wheelswithout wealth:
Shopping for car bargains by Robin McKeon
Gassing-up is just one of the constant costs involved in maintaining a car (photo by Jo Long).
Affording a car on a college budget isn't easy. Most students owning cars have jobs to manage car payments, repair costs and insurance costs. The first car cost is, of course, buying the car itself. When considering a car, Consumer Reports, April 1983, suggests checking sedans; "Sporty models, convertibles, luxury cars depreciate more slowly than simple sedans. The best place to purchase a car is from a private seller because they don't have overhead to worry about. Save time by asking crucial questions over the phone such as, "Why is the car being sold? Has the car been in an accident? How many miles are on the car?" Fred Scaraellette of Main Line Automotive Incorporated ,said, "Beware of used car lots; go with someone who is knowledgeable about cars." Scaraellette said that there is no easy solution, but never settle for the first car. Check out as many car dealers as possible. Here are some key points to keep in mind when looking at cars found in Consumer Reports, April 1983: • Check for rust, especially in the wheel wells. • Check the paint; uneven color suggests the car was in an accident. • Knock on the body to make sure it is all metal, plastic suggests the car was in an accident. • Check the tires for uneven wear indicating an alignment problem or possibly an accident. • Check the odometer;if the tires are bald and the pedal is worn yet the odometer reads 10,000 miles, something is wrong. The odometer could have been disconnected or set back. • Check the engine; start the car and test drive it. • Check the trunk for a spare tire and jack. • Check the trunk for signs of a leak. • Always bring someone along who is knowledgeable about cars.
While costs, for the most part, don't differ, a little shopping around can provide some bargains. Insurance payments can be steep for student-age drivers, but many companies offer discounts for honor roll students and students who took a driver's education course. Ask individual agencies for details. Jack Eilaison, a mutual insurance agent, said that independent insurance companies offer lower rates, and give above average claims satisfaction, while large insurance companies, such as Allstate Insurance Company, have higher rates and a below average claims satisfaction. The reason for this is because adjusters usually handle claims for the bigger companies; the agents handle claims in independent insurance companies. Ruth Harris of Baltz and West Insurance said that placing the car in your parents name and under their insurance plan will entitle a multiple car discount, while paying insurance solo will cost more. Chris Corcoran, junior, worked all summer for his car; he placed it in his parents name and also put it under their insurance plan for the multiple car discount. Marty Burke, senior, works to support his car; the "car and insurance are in his name. However, his insurance rates are cheaper because he has a six cylinder engine. "Rates are cheaper for a four or six cylinder engine car because you aren't assuming as great a risk as an eight cylinder car," Burke said. ''.Also,it saves gas." Paul Cauchi,junior, has an eight cylinder engine car he works to support; "It's a gas guzzler! But having the freedom is worth it," said Cauchi. Another major car expense is supplying the car with gas.Tom Sadleir III, manager of Exxon Service Station said that the only way to conserve gas is to drive slow. "Don't put the pedal to the metal!" said Sadleir.
Consigning clothes for cash by Virginia A. Smith
For the fifth consecutive year, I pulled the same three never-worn skirts from my closet. Somehow they looked so much better in the store than on me, yet I couldn't bring myself to just discard them after all the money I'd spent. I was doomed to suffer with a closet-full of clothes I didn't wear, and no funds to furnish a new wardrobe. Then, on a Halloween costume hunt, I visited some re- sale/thrift shops in Wayne and was shocked to find well-dressed Main Line ladies combing racks of argyle sweaters and designer jeans. There were no junky clothes, no old sheets, just fine used clothing for sale upwards from $1. Where did the store get the clothing? "We sell them on a consignment basis," said the thrift shop volunteer, handing me a sheet with rules and regulations explaining the pay-contingenton-sale process. For a $3 one time per season fee, a potential consigner can take the clothing they wish to
sell to the shop, and at the end of the month will receive a check for the agreed amount if the item is sold. If it isn't sold, however, the consigner has the option of retrieving the articles or donating them to the shop. Eureka! I could empty my cluttered closets, give my unwanted clothes a good home, and receive money to boot. I gathered a bundle of clothes, scrounged for $3 and went to the Neighborhood League thrift shop consigning office on Louella Drive, Wayne (next to Cowan's flowers, open for consignment Mon. - Fri. until 2:45). In the office watiting room, signs on the wall instructed me how to prepare to meet with the volunteer to become a consigner: "Place all clothing on hangers provided, hook to the left," "All clothing must be clean and ironed;" "winter season clothes only: no short-sleeve shirts." I hung my clothes on the rack and waited to have them "screened" by the staff. Meanwhile, I filled out the new membership card and paid my $3 fee. They assigned me a consigners number, then one by one reviewed the clothing.
"Rust skirt, size 7, $4 for $5.50," one grayhaired volunteer dictated to another referring to a description of clothing, size, profit I'd receive, and cost to the customer with thrift shop commission tacked on. For a second-hand shop, the volunteers did a first-rate organization job. For each article of clothing, a woman wrote the vital information a triplicate form, one for me, one for the files, one to attatch to the clothing. If I later wanted to inquire whether a particular item was sold, I just had to refer to my receipt number, and the staff would be quick to answer. Now I'm becoming a regular thrift shop businessperson; combing other shops, grandma's attic, my brother's closet, all for items to be sold on consignment. I may not earn enough to buy a car, but at least I'll be able to order a Domino s pizza now and then. Incidently, if you ever go thrift-shopping and spot a rust- colored skirt or a gray sweater, please don't hesitate to buy them.

Museums,colleges,parks provide by Katie Welsh The weekend has finally arrived. 48 hours of doing nothing but relaxing and having fun and you vow to do something more than watching Friday videos but ...your wallet is empty.• You feel doomed to spend a lifetime of monotonous weekends all because you're not a Rockefeller. All is not lost. Remember the saying ''The best things in life are free?" The Main Line and Philadelphia areas offer a wide variety of activities that will fit the budget of even the most penny pinching, hungry-for-excitement student. All it takes to discover them is a little creativity and research. Some students have already found this out. "There's always a party or dance down at LaSalle," said Chris Powell, sophomore. Julia White, sophomore, often visits South Street on a Saturday night. "My boyfriend and I just go down and walk around and watch all the people. It doesn't cost anything, and it's always a lot of fun." Other places suggested by Cabrini students are Linvilla Orchards, in Media,(perfect for hay rides, applepicking or just petting the animals), Philadelphia's Penns Landing, (home to seasonal festivals, boats and schooners), and Valley Forge National Park, which is just up the street. All these places are free and are guaranteed to offer a nice, relaxing Sunday.
The foHowing is a list of different activities and places in the Philadelphia and Main Line areas which are free or relatively inexpensive. Especially attractive and recommended places are Fairmount Park, Philadelphia's largest playground, with 8900 acres and over 200 courts, fields, ranges, and centers for every sport imaginable, and the Schuylkill River, on which you can find regattas· almost every weekend.
'My boyfriend and I just go down to South Street and walk around and watch all the people. It doesn't cost anything, and it's always a lot of fun' -Julia White, sophomore Another recommended trip is on "The Spirit of Philadelphia," which leaves from Penns Landing. There are luncheon, dinner, and midnight cruises almost every day. Although this may be a little over your price range, there are special rates for groups of 20 or more. The price usually includes snacks and live bands. Use this list as a guide, be creative and take advantage of the budget events. Our research is not exhaustive, and you can find other ideas by scanning recent copies of Philadephia magazine or the Main Line Times, or calling the activities departments of nearby colleges (most offer regularly scheduled movies, mixers and events which are free and open to the public).

Creativedating on constictedbudget:
Charlie's$11dream date by Diane C. Spiro Charlie has been in love with Joan for weeks. She is intelligent, witty, pretty and fun to be with. Then why hasn't he asked her out yet'? Because like many other college students, Charlie lives on a tight and limited budget. He would love to impress her by taking her to a fancy restaurant or an elaborate night club, but he simply can't afford it. - What Charlie has failed to realize is that an expensive date does not guarantee a fun or romantic time. There are many things to do in the area that would impress Joan and any other girl or guy. All it takes for a great date is a little creativity, some activity research and basic planning. On the advice of a news story on budget-saving, Charlie began to make a list of possible things to do that wouldn't put a big dent in his wallet. Soon he was fantasizing what he would do if he could spend the whole weekend with Joan. His dream weekend started at 8:00 Friday night. He picked her up at her house and they went to Chi Chi's restaurant in Media for an exotic Mexican drink,($2.50 each) and snacks-com chips with hot sause are free and quite delicious. Afterwards, they went to dance off all of the calories they consumed at Cheers, the free student gathering place on the West Chester University campus. It is the hottest new place where the hottest area bands play such as Beru Revue, Luxury, and Pagaseus. There is no alcohol served so everyone is welcome. The evening was spent dancing, laughing and talking. Saturday afternoon was spent having a picnic in the park. They bought hoagie sandwiches at Tiny T's in Media,(just off Baltimore Pike) where they have the best hoagies in town for only $1.00. They took their hoagies to Valley Forge Park where they walked around and saw all of the historical sights. After the park, they both went home to have dinner with their families and rest up for the exciting night ahead. Charlie and Joan met up with their friends Maria and Ben (groups create entertainment in themselves) and the four of them went to Penns Landing and New Market in Philadelphia. They drove, but could easily have taken the Paoli local SEPTA train for $2.25 per person .each way and saved the expense of parking.

There was entertainment on every street corner: a juggler, a man getting an orchestral effect with wine glasses filled at different heights with water, and there was even a mime. The evening was beautiful and they all enjoyed themselves immensely just watching the people. Sunday had now arrived and it was the last day of Charlie's fantasy budget weekend. They decided that they were both in the mood to go to a museum. They had the choice of either going to to Philadelphia Art Museum (admission is free on Sundays until 1:00) or to the Brandywine Museum. Joan made the choice of the Brandywine and they went to the Brandywine Park afterwards since it was directly across Rt. 1.
All it takes for a great date is a little creativity,some activity researchand basic planning Charlie wanted to take Joan to a movie, but couldn't afford the $4.50 price tag of the local theater. So, resourcefully, he rented a VCR at Rite Aid in Radnor. They used Ben's credit card for a deposit, making the cost $1.99 to rent the VCR and $2.00 for the movie. (He also had a back-up movie budget plan: the Yaedon movie theater on Church Lane and Bailey Road has current movies for $1 admission at all times, and the Lansdowne Theater, Lansdowne Ave. and Baltimore Pike charges only $2). Charlie took Joan home that night realizing that he had performed a small miracle. In one weekend, they had gone out for hors d'ouvres, dancing, picnicking, touring, nightlifing, saw a show, visited a museum and watched a movieall for $11.00 and half a tank of gas. He thanked her for a wonderful weekend. As he leaned over to kiss her, he was awakened from his daydream with a phone call. Still disoriented from his dream, he could not believe that it was Joan's voice on the other end of the phone. Could he still be fantasizing when he heard Joan say, "Charlie, I have contemplated asking you for some time now, but would you be interested in getting together this weekend?"

Loans providedollars now, interestlater by Leah Cascarina Are you findinf.{ the costs of college difficult to afford despite you and/or your parents savings·t Your not alone. With the cost of higher education continually on the rise, more and more sludcnls arc finding it necessary to obtain outside financial help in the form of student loans. The majority of students at Cabrini have some type of loan, according Arlene McEvilla Dittbrenner, director of financial aid. However, despite the large numbers of loans awarded each year, many students do not fully understand the implications and responsibilities of the loan or about other financial loans he or she may be eligible to receive. Ui Ltbrcnner stated, "The majority of students have either the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSLJ, P.,uent 1Plus), and National Direct Student Loans (NDSL)." She added that students can have more than one loan at one time. The GSL is by far the most popular; 1,oth on campus as well as in the states of Pennslyvania and New Jersey. Millions and millions of dollars are set aside each year for student aid across the country. Thomas Fabian, deputy director of the Pennslyvania Higher Education Assistance Agency !PHEAA) claimed that betwet:ln July 1, 1984 and June 30, 1985, 263,000 GSL's were given for a total of600 million dollan;. In New Jersey, 107,257 GSL's were given, totaling $260,852,000. Dittbrenner stated that 506 GSL's were given to Cabl'ini students, tot.tling $1,164,000. Dittbrcnner added, ..We will do at least 600 GSL's for full-time undergraduates alone at the end of the year." Most of the students that have GSL's have the maximum amount of$2,500 per year and graduate owing $10,000. With the GSL, the interest rate is eight per cent; much below other loan rates. The maximum one can obtain is &2,500 with a total of$12,500 for an undergraduate. A graduate can borrow up to $25,000 cumulative for graduate and undergraduatc studies. Payments on the loan begin· six moths after one graduation_.
Examining loan programs: pros and cons I
GSL's, as well as other loans, are availabe through banks and other financial institutions. Once the student takes out the loan, the government will pay interest on the Joan while the student is in school and after he or she ga·aduates, until the loan is completely paid oJf. PLUS loans arc the next most widely used loans on campus; though they number a relatively small amount, both at Cabrini and nationally. Both New · Jersey and Pennslyvania, however, devote a substantial sum to the program. Between July 1, 1984 and June 3, 1985, 141,000 PLUS loans were awarded for a total of $135,000,000 in the state of Pennslyvannia. New Jersey awarded 7,648 loans for a total of $20,958,000.
The Guaranteea ~tudent Loan (GSL) is by far the most popular, both on campus as well as in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey PLUS loans are really aimed towards the pa1·ents of the student borrowers. They are able to borrow $3,000 per year, with a maximum of $15,000 for undergraduate studies. Independent unde1·graduates can borrow up to $2,500 per year. If an undergraduate also has a GSL, he or she cannot exceeded the $12,500 limit. Graduates may borrow up to $3,000 per year, with a maximum total of $15,000. Apparently thl' PLUS loan isn't a:-;popular as thc <1LSht•caust• t.111·1·1· is 1111 d,·lt·rn111•11t for llw p,11·1•111.-.;, aud the interest rate is much higher. The NDSLat Cabrini is a relatively small program. Currently only 98 students have the loan. The reason the loans are awarded in small numbers is because they are generated almost soley from the college's own funds. Only A small amount of money is given form the federal government.
With the GSL, as with all things involving money, there are good and bad points to consider. The positive aspects of the GSL are: • It has a very low, simple eight percent interest rate. • The word "guaranteed" does not mean that a student is guaranteed to receive a loan. The word means that the lending institutions can collect their money back from the government, should the student default. • The amount awarded is based on the parents income and whether it is above or below $30,000. If it is below $30,000, it can replace the NDSL. If it is greater than $30,000, then the student must show need. The advantages of an NDSL are: • It provides additional financial aid funds. • The interest is only five percent per year. • One can obtain up to $2,000 per year. • Payments are deferred until six months after leaving school. The disavantage of an NDSL are: • It is difficult to obtain. • The maximum amount is rarely given.
Cabrini receives most of the programs funds when the money is regenerated by former borrowers repaying their previous loans. The funds for the program become dwindled if students begin to default; making if more difficult for a student to obtain a loan. Dittbrenner st..tted, ..We rely heavily on CSU; because of the agrugatc need of the student body compared to the funding availallle to meet that need." Dittbrenner added, '"Because of limited funds, we assume that the students will take advantage ofGSL resow·ce before they would apply for an NDSL." 1f a student is still in need of aid even after seeK;ng out the previously mentioned loans, there are still other programs that can help the student. PHEAA has a special program called the "HelpPartnership" loan program (Help-Program). Thomas Fabian explained that the program is privately insured by the sale ol' bonds, stressing that it is not federally insm·ed (referring to the GSL'sl. The loans are for students who need more than the GSL to afford their education.
Fabian pointed out that once the student files for the loan, the agency tests the students eligibility for the GSL or PLUS loan first. All four loans must be paid off between five and ten years. The time alloted depends on how much the student borrows. Student loans not only help a student while they're in school, but the loans can also benefit the borrowers after, they have graduated. As Susan Hates, marketing manager for education loans at Mellon Bank stated, "Students can create a good credit rating for themselves. If they pay off the loan(s) every month on time, it looks impressive to the creditors." If students have any other questions concerning student Joans or other forms of financial aid, they should go to the financial aid office or contact their state~ higher education agency.
The good·points to the program are as follows: • Provides additional financial aid. • The program is financially backed for the next seventeen years. • The loan has a 9.5 percent interest rate. The bad points to the p1·ogram are the following: • Repayments must start 60 days after receiving it. • Students must go through a credit check. •The program is not offered in New Jersey. Legislation was passed prohibiting the raising of funds through revenue bonds for certain types of educational programs. The good points of PLUS loans are the following: • They act as a supplement for GSL's. • They help students afford the schools that they would otherwise not be able to attend. • There are deferrments available for undergraduate and graduate students. The bad points of PLUS loans are as follows: • They are hard for students to obtain. • Parent borrowers must begin paying interest within 60 days, unless the lender agrees to allow the interest to collect until after the deferrment. • The studcnt's parents may have to undergo a crt--dit.analysis.

Dollars for scholars:
Is there a scholarship waiting for you? by Jeanne Reineberg
Matching Service do attract a fair number of students.
Did you know that if you were ever a newspaper carrier or a Boy Scout, you may be eligible for a number of different scholarships offered by organizations nationwide? Or,ifyou are of the Catholic faith and attending a Catholic college, you could apply for the ProDeo and ProPatria scholarships worth up to $1000.
Patricia Lee, junior, however, remains skeptical about the merits of scholarship search services after making no headway in her quest to find additional college tuition funds through one search program. None of the scholarship opportunities suggested by the search company ever amounted to anything.
If these are not in your league, there may be other 'unknown' scholarships out. there just waiting for someone to reap their benefits. Computer Search Agencies claim to be able to search out the most scholarships suited to your qualification, all for a nominal fee.
Those who did reply to her applications gave various reasons why she was not qualified to receive the respective scholarships including the fact she was female, white, or too intelligent. Thus, $50 went down the drain. Lee said, "They'll get you. There may be money out there if they are willing to actually give it to you".
"Some students, however, Just are not eligible for government loans," said Dianne McCartby, employee, Academic Matching Service. "I really got started in the scholarship search business because I had run into the same financial problem that many students face today."
The general concensus of financial aid officers on the subject of scholarship search services is similar to Lee's appraisal.
McCarthy's computerized service provides students with a list of six to 25 possible scholarship opportunities. The service takes approximately 15 days and costs $39. She not~d that most of the scholarships filed on the computer system are eth-. nically-based or career-oriented, and are aimed at the average student.
"I've seen those services come and go for the last twenty years, and I have yet to see a student get anything out of them that they couldn't have found themselves," Switzer said.
"It may be okay for high school juniors or seniors who are just looking for anything," Lysionek said,"but, then, you're taking pot luck. If you want to base your college career on pot luck than this could be the way to go." In general, though, Lysionek-I>elieves the search companies are not worthwhile because they only meet the needs of a small group and not the general population.
ComputerSearch Agencies claimto be able to search out the mostscholarships suitedto yourqualification, all for a nominalfee
"It may take a little more time, but it will save you $40 or $50 or so," added Lysionek. He also noted that many of the scholarships available through the search companies require many specific qualifications ~hat make college students ineligible.
Some financial aid sources claim that a lot of money for scholarships is left unclaimed each year. Arlene McEvillaDittbrenner, financial aid director at Cabrini, said this is a myth. "There are not hundreds of thousands of dollars that go begging each year".
McCarthy, on the other hand, feels the services can be very helpful. While she agreed that most students could find necessary information on their own, she said the search agencies give the most accurate information. "If yoi.i go to the library you will find the same things that the service finds, but our information is more recent and up-to-date than the other sources". Books take time to be published and are out-of-date because changes and additions are made frequently to scholarship information. "I have new scholarship opportunities coming across my desk all the time," she said.
Many financial aid directors are quick to agree. W. Arthur Switzer, financial aid director, Villanova, commented about the alleged abundance of funds available. "I don't know where it is. There may be some specialized scholarships available, but they have so many specifications and no one qualifies for them". Still, some of these scholarships are legitimate. Students need look no further than college or community libraries to find journals and catalogues listing available scholarships, who sponsors them, what the award is, and main qualifications. According to aid sources, a student needs to first list ali accomplishments and past affiliations with major organizations (such as member of high school bowling team, Girl Scouts, Italian decent, Jewish faith, etc.). The listings are grouped according to organizations and reasons for award. Books provide information for applying and student must still contact the corporations for applications and specific rules. Many college financial aid oflice have their own small-scale libraries open to the students. Some students, however do not realize such a service is available. "It (the financial aid library) is not used as effectively as it could be," said Peter Lysionek,
Switzer commented that much is being done through the Pennsylavania Higher Education Assistance Authority to establish a free service that would provide students with the same type of information available through the scholarship search services. However, no file has been devised that is considered valuable enough or worth putting into a computer. financial aid office, Chestnut Hill College. "There doesn't seem to be a great need or great desire to utilize what is available. I don't know why".
don't realize there are other monies available or they just don't care. Either way, it's the students responsibility to find out," said a Temple University representative.
"Unfortunately, students don't use what is available to them. I don't know if they
Despite the availability of library sources, services such as the Academic
Whatever means a student may use to discover new schoalrship opportunities available to him is purely- his own choice. But, McCarthy notes¡ that she has had some positive reactions from students who have used the Academic Matching Service and added, "I haven't had any complaints".

AT&T has credit cards for their users. The charge for using the credit card is $1.55 automatically before the cost of the call itself. There are special times when the rates are cheaper. And then there is Sprint at 1-800-457-6767. Sprint has said that they are 20 to 50 percent cheaper than AT&T. The user can call anytime and save money when the phone bill is $20, $75, $150, $1000 on you monthly long distance bill. This is known as volume discount. If you have a credit card, known as a travel card, the user saves 70 percent over AT&T, even with collect calls. Laura Przywara, senior, has her own phone and she uses Sprint. When asked why she chose this long distance company she said, "I called and the operators were very helpful. But the main reason I made the initial call was that I liked the commercials better than the rest."
by Cara Graham Did you ever think about getting your own phone but didn't know if you could afford it, let alone how to go about getting it installed? To get basic phone service, including phone installation, the phone number to call in the Radnor area is 1-800-443-2178. This is also the phone number to call for AT&T long distance service. There are no special student rates, you have路 to pay the bills just like your parents. But students can have their bills put on their parents' bill only with their parents' consent. Before the phone stores came out, you could rent a phone from the phone company. Now the user has to purchase their own phone, a heavy initial expense ranging anywhere from $35 (a K- Mart special cordless phone) to $350 (the deluxe Bell Co. Mickey 路Mouse phone). To cut down the cost of operator-ha4dled collect calls or to have long-distance convenience without your phone, there are credit cards that the phone users can obtain with only a minimual amount to pay. To use the Call Cards, the charges are 30 cents plus the cost路 of the call. But be advised, if you are using a rotary phone, you have to tell the operator your number (as opposed to punching the number in yourself). Someone overhearing your call could copy the number and charge their calls to your bill. If your room already has a phone jack then the cost for service is $53.50 for installation. There is a monthly servl'ce

This is only for the local installation and service. The rates differ depending on the service you get. The major expense, however, is long distance calls.
MCI said they were five to 35 percent cheaper than AT&T. The phone user with this service can call all over the United States and to 34 countries. There are no service charges or start-up fees. The phone number to call is 1-800-624-2030 for more information. The rates change when you are calling certain areas.

Survivingoff-.campus:
Payingrent, buyinggroceries budgeting
'
by Cara Graham Everyone dreams abo~t living in their own apartment when they graduate from college, but some students have decided to live in their own apartments while they are still in college. It's hard to imagine that you have to start paying rent, along with your tuition, and cooking for yourself when you grew up with the world's greatest cook-mom. Colleen Hogan, junior, along with her two roommates, Megan Perry, junior, and Jean McCreavy, junior, have made that decision to live on their own. "The first two weeks of school none of us knew the first thing about making dinner. If it wasn't for our parents sending us recipes, we would have gone hungry," said Hogan. When asked what made them switch their living arrangements from being residents to commuters on their own, Perry said, "We wanted to live together but we wanted see how independent we could become. We had to learn to become comparison shoppers when it came to buying our food and we found it hard to establish credit. But so far we have survived." "The things I miss about living on campus are homecoming, the different dorm functions and the bull sessions with all my friends. Our friends come to visit us but it's not the same as having them down the hall from us," said Hogan. ''I also find it difficult to commute back and forth all the time. It was easier when I could just go back to my room if I had free time." "We've become closer friends, my roommates and I, . because we are all struggling with our new independence," said Hogan. "We still don't have the 'freedom' we thought we would have." Steve Westhead, junior, has been living in his own apartment since he was 17. "I found it a lot cheaper to live in my own apartment. I don't eat that much so I save on my food bills, and it helps if you have a roommate to cut the expenses. Our largest expense was furnishing the apartment." Westhead lives in Wynnefield, near, Philadelphia. He lives in a restored mahsion with other tenants, who are either graduate students or working for a living. ''A lot of places thatl looked into didr. 't rent to college students. I was fortunate to have a roommate who is a medical student."
Sugartown Mews in Devon, where Hogan and her roommates live, does not rent to college students. They prefer tenants who are graduate students or young professionals. When asked why they don't rent to many college students, the landlord's secretary said, ''It's because they would destroy the place," They accept applications to rent 10 months in advance to the time of the tenant moving in. There are booklets with area apartments for rent, but many places will not rent to college students.
Another way to find the right apartment is to go to a real estate office. Furnishing your apartment can be done by going to flea markets, garage sales, thrift shops and apartment sales. As for food shopping, there are many discount markets that require that shoppers bag their own food, for example, Jewel T stores on Lansdowne Ave. in Lansdowne, Pa. Saving coupons that come in the mail help the shoppers when shopping, also. ~

Bob Berger:
Provingsuccessfulon and off the field by Randy T. Letko "Soccer, soccer, soccer and sports." Anyone who has ever been invited to the Berger house in Holland, Pennsylvania for dinner will find that the topics for conversation can be found among these four, according to Mrs. Eugene Berger. It is evident that the Berger family is very fond of their soccer. One person who has benefitted from this environment has been the Berger's son Robert, known as "Bobby," "Bergs," and just plain old "Rob," by his Cabrini College classmates. Bob, a senior at Cabrini, has been the recipient of constant soccer training since his grade school days when his father, Eugene, who coached the local United German/Hungarian(U.G.H.) Soccer Club, would take him and younger brother Richard to practice. Eugene Berger has been more than just the usual father for Bob. According to Bob, his dad is the major influence in his quest to become both a better soccer player and a better person. As coach for the U.G.H. Club, Eugene Berger was able to watch his son first develop the soccer skills that would eventually take him to Cabrini Co_llege. Eugene Berger's soccer interest stemmed from his days as a player for a club in Austria. As a player in Europe, where soccer was, and still is, the premiere sport, Eugene Berger was a member of a close knit team that stayed together after they had immigrated to America. This dedicated group of soccer players brought the skills and attitudes for successful soccer to the neighborhood children of Holland. "I'm very proud of Robert," Eugene Berger added, "because he has grown up with soccer and not_lost sight of his community and family." With this type of soccer environment to nurture him, Bob Berger was able to learn n'ot only the skills of soccer but, more importantly, the camaraderie of a team where individual talents are overshadowed by one's ability to mold into the personality of the team. Soccer became Bob Berger's life. Playing for three different teams while in high school-the U.G.H. Club, St. Bede's soccer club, (another locally based club) and the Archbishop Wood High School team-Berger learned what it meant to be a part of a team. Berger also found out how much fun it is to score goals. His scoring proficiency and team play during his high school days earned him a scholarship to play for Cabrini. Cabrini College's soccer reputation was one of a team that was still building it's program. Berger saw this as an opportunity to let his talents flourish. And flourish they did.

"Being a small school, Cabrini attracted me because I thought the team would be able to utilize the talents I had learned in high school," Berger said. "I S!lW an opportunity to play a lot for a growing team and maybe add to the program." As a freshman, he was third scorer for the team. His sophomore year, under the tutelage of present coach Bill Crowley, Berger led the team with three goals. The team was, at this point, becoming a force among conference rivals, losing in double overtime in the 1984 district championship game. Junior Mike Finn led the team in scoring last year and this year with Berger finishing second both times. Finn commented about playing alongside Berger. "Bobby and I have developed a sort of sixth sense as to where the other is," Finn said. "One thing that has helped us the past two years is that with both ofus in, the other team has to worry about two potential scorers." Berger, an accounting major and a four year player for the Cavaliers, exploded at the start of the 1985 season by scoring all five goals in Cabrini's first three victories. Although he finished the season with nine goals (three behind Finn) in 13 games with three assists, it is because opposing defenses assigned more players to cover him. Berger accepted his role unselfishly as Cabrini's 1985 record ended at 11-3-2. Head coach Bill Crowley, who has guided Berger for the last three years, commented on Berger's development, "As a sophomore, Berger was timid and nonaggressive as a player. I sat him down one day after practice and explained that in order to utilize his incredible game skills-timing, passing and shooting-he would have to get aggressive in order to really be effective for the team." Crowley continued, "Bobby has finally made that transition and it really shows. His intensity and concentration this year has been instrumental in the success of this year's team." The success of Cabrini soccer is important to Berger but he also is very aware that life goes on after soccer. Though he doesn't say much about graduation, his mother felt that deep down inside, Bobby feels sentimental about having to leave the team and many of his friends in May. His major concern is to be able to continue having soccer as part of his life whether it be as a coach or as a player. Putting back into the community is the one thing that the Bergers hope that Bob will continue to do. Bob commented, "I hope to find a job in accounting and also receive a Pennsylvania state coaching license so that I can coach on the state level." "I was brought up in a good environment and would like to give back something to the people who helped me, especially my dad," Berger said. --

Runnerscl.inch district19 title by Jeanne Reineberg "We're as ready as we'll ever be, physically and mentally," said Pete Casazza, sophomor~, men's cross country team, going into the District 19 championship meet held on Saturday, October 26 at Allentown College. This statement proved to be undoubtedly . accurate, as Cabrini, with four returning runners from the 1984 district championship team and three freshmen, won it's second consecutive team title with a score of 31 points, seven points better than second place Allentown. Dave Long, senior, captain, led the pack with a first place finishing time of 29:02. Though not his personal best, it proved to be more than enough to win the race, and thus contribute heavily to Cabrini's retention of the District 19 title. "He's been really super. I can't say enough about Dave and his performance this season," said Tom O'Hora, coach of the men's cross country team. "He's had a great season considering he almost did not run due to an illness at the end of the summer," added O'Hora. Dean Magolon, freshman, also caused some concern coming into districts due to the fact that he had recently been both sick
and injured. "We really didn't knc •; if he'd be able to run," said O'Hora. Magolon did compete in Saturday's race taking seventh place, one spot behind his brother, Paul, freshman. Casazza and John Donahue, sophomore, finished eighth and ninth, respectively, to aid the Cabrini cause. Ed Bauer, sophomore, while placing 13th, was a vital part of the win. "He took off fast in the beginning of the race, taking a lot of the opposition with him," O'Hora said, "These runners, tiring quickly and slowing down their pace, eventually allowed the other runners in the race to catch up and pass them." In general, both the coach and the team were pleased with the meet, as well as the entire season. "The whole season went really well, and Saturday's meet was great. I think everyone has improved since last year, and the freshmen have really helped out the team effort," commented Mike Edmondson, sophomore, and a returning member of last year's team. The team will compete tomorrow in the EPAC/ESAC league championships at Belmont Plateau in Philadelphia before going on to the national meet being held at the University of Wisconsin- Parkside in Parkside, Wisconsin, on November 16. "The

We must beat those teams that we beat today, as well as some of the best teams in the league like Frostburg and Salisbury State," O'Hora said. While optimistic about the National
meet, the team is also realistic. "We'll be running against some of the best teams in the nation. We don't expect to win, but we could place in the top 25. Whatever the outcome, we'll be satisfied. Just to be there is an honor," Long said.

A running success by J. G. Starrs Jeanne Purpuri competes regularly in state competitions in powerlifting and three track and field events. In 1985 she won three silver medals and a gold in the 200-meter dash, the 400- meter dash, the long jump and the high jump. In 1984 she won a bronze medal in the high jump and a silver in powerlifting, all in meets in her home state of New Jersey. What makes these achievements noteworthy is that Purpuri competes in the United States Association for Blind Athletes; though partially sighted, she qualifies as legally blind. In an interview with her earlier this month after her successful meet at Montclair State College in New Jersey, Purpuri said she has been involved with the association almost since it's inception nine years ago and enjoys the chance to participate in a competitive sport. Besides track and field events and powerlifting, the association sponsors swimming and wrestling contests. Purpuri is as proud of her team's achievements as
she is her own: "New Jersey always has the largest team of all the states. Last year we had 43 athletes and received 150 medals." A junior special education major, Purpuri transferred to Cabrini from Centenary College in Hackettstown, N.J., because she likes the campus and the small school atmosphere. She enjoys reading and writing and was an editor on her high school newspaper. She was interested in both communications and special education, but opted for the latter because she wants to help children with special needs. Her mother is fully supportive of her participation, citing her persistance _andindependence as her most important qualities as a student, as well as an athlete. "She likes the social aspect of the meets and she always encourages the other athletes," said Lauretta Purpuri, the athlete's mother. "It would be so easy for her to just sit back and let someone else do all her homework and schoolwork for her, but she does for herself." And about the competitive nature of the meets Mrs. Purpuri said, "It's fun to win, but it's important to try."

According to O'Hora, "He's really been super. I can't say enough about Dave and his performance this seac;on. Long lead the cross country team to it's second straight consecutive District 19 title, by placing first in the race, with a time of 29:02. VOLLEYBALL Mindy Wyszynski, freshman, was selected athlete of the week after her fine performance in the Cabrini tournament. According to coach Jerry
Szabo, "Mindy did really well in the tournament completing 11 perfect passes." WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY Beverly Reilly women's cross country coach selected Maureen Murray, junior, athlete of the week. Reilly said, "Maureen ran a pretty consistant race finishing second for Cabrini. This is the first time she has ever competed in any kind ofrunning event. I would have to classify her as a really 'gutsy' runner.

Not just runningfor kicks by Kimberly Stevens

The scene is that from a movie, such as 'Chariots of Fire'; the wide expanse of fields, mountains edging the horizon, and the early morning sun reflecting the fresh morning dew of this spiall colonial town. This is Sharpsburg, Maryland, home to Dave Long, senior and cross country team captain. To Long, the peacefulness of running alongside canals, rather than cars, is a dream not forgotten. This small town boy image is reflected in Long in several ways, where amidst his newly acquired, modern mode of behavior, the small town boy is sitting in the shadows. His speech is a combination of Philly slang and southern drawl; the walls of his dorm room exhibit pictures of farms, pig races, and country scenes. But on the Cabrini campus, Long has made a name for himself as a successful runner, team captain, and all-around student. As a transfer from Hagerstown Junior College, Hagerstown, MD., Long came to Cabrini as a junior in the fall of '84. Long's running career began somewhat by accident. While playing baseball for the pony league, his father noticed he had the talent and ability for running when he defeated the whole team in a race around the field at practice one day. ''.Atrecess we'd see how many times we could run around the field in half an hour, just for kicks." Long said. "I never even thought of being a r-qnner, it was just a game." The first race Long ever ran was the 200 yard dash in middle school. Long said, "I got down in the blocks, they snapped the gun, and I slipped and fell. When I looked up everyone was halfway ;1round the turn and the people in the stands were laughing at me. I got beat bad, but it was fun." While attending Boonsboro High School, Long played basketball. With some help from his sister, Susan, herself a runner, Long decided to go out for track. He ran for the first time in the outdoor season of his freshman year as head of the hurdle crew. At Hagerstown, Long was seventh man and captain of the cross country team. According to Long, they were one of the best teams in the nation. Even though running is a large part of his life, Long did not choose to come to Cabrini for the athletic program. According to Long, the cross country program was not as competitive as it is now. Randy Lefko, senior and -cross country runner, was surprised to see Long at the cross country meeting last year. Both Long and Lefko, transfers from separate junior colleges that year, had competed against one another at the Pinelands Invitational in New Jersey the previous year. "I think Dave's got a lot more potential in store for him," Lefko said. "I think he will have more success with running when he gets out; he's just that kind of runner, he keeps getting better and better." Long, on the other hand, views himself differently. "I really don't have a lot of talent," he said. "People who have talent have speed, and I don't. l'mjust persistent, I work hard, and I'm dedicated.
I have a lot of values that I keep and that helps me to run." Letko said, "He's a humble runner and a great friend." Long set several goals for himself when he first came to Cabrini. Since the team had been failing previously, Long decided to set the standard for a good running team, starting a tradition he hopes will always stay with them. "I like this team - it's sentimental," Long said. "There's less inner-squad rivalry to do well. We all push each other, and that's how a team does well." According to Long, he has not necessarily helped the team, but they have helped him. During the season, Long's schedule is hectic, leaving little or no time for social activity. His day usually begins at 7a.m., filled with classes, team workouts, and studying, until he finally sleeps again at 11p.m. Long said, "When the season ends, the one thing I'm really looking forward to is going out to run when it snows. It's quiet and I won't have to worry about racing, I can just enjoy it." After the season, however, Long has found time for school involvement, especially in the theater. Last years' production of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' saw Long as an elderly, senile patient and hilarious character. This year, Long will be participating in the Haunted House with some of his teammates, and hopes to be in to be in the spring theater production. Long's future plans are still a mystery because of his many career options. Considering the impact his high school coach had on his life, Long would like to go back home to teach and coach at his high school. However, since he is a computer science major, with a minor in math, he also feels he could work for a corporation. Other choices include going into the service, or continuing with his education. "I don't really know how much emphasis I'm going to put on each one," Long said, "but those are a few choices I have. I want to utilize my time as much as I can, get out there, get a job, and keep on running." Family also plays an important part of Long's future. Long said, "My dad is-like a buddy. It will be neat to go places with him when I get out of school. I try to emulate him a lot." On October 26, Long won the District 19 NAIA individual championship held in Allentown. Long felt that the team winning it's second consecutive team title was more important that him winning the race. ''.After I crossed the finish line, I became emotional for about 30 seconds and then I looked up and saw four Cabrini jerseys crossing the finish line together," Long said. ''.After that, I knew that we had won the team title again and would be taking another trip to the nationals in Wisconsin." Long's feelings on the event were filled with sentiment for coach Tom O'Hora and the entire team. "Coach did really good job this year," said Long. "I really want to thank him and the whole team for making this year more enjoyable and successful."

Elizabethtown. Elizabethtown left with a trophy and a win with a final score of 2-1. "It was a perfect tournament," said Helen Goodwin, women's athletic director. For the Lady Cavs, the tournament proved to be a tough day. The women's volleyball team placed sixth overall. The team got off to a slow start. Academy of New Church and Haverford split their two game series with Cabrini, while Swarthmore was able to capture two games from the Lady Cavs. However, late in the day the fuel had begun to burn for the team and they beat Catonsville. "This was a great accomplishment for us. It was probably the best game Cabrini has played in my four years here," said Joanne Goebel, senior, captain.
The volley went back and forth. But with the final two points being captured by Cabrini, the Lady Cavs had done it, they finally beat Catonsville Junior College, a perennial junior college women's volleyball powerhouse and former national junior college champion. According to Jerry Szabo, coach, "The team played with great intensity." This was just one of the 86 games played Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Women's Volleyball Tournament sponsored by Cabrini College. This was Cabrini's fourth year sponsoring the tournament. With 12 teams invited, this was the biggest tournament in the area. The ten participating schools were Academy of New Church, Bryn Mawr College, Cabrini College, Catonsville Michele Jones, junior, said, "The tournament was fun, Junior College, Elizabethtown CollPn;e,Haverford College, exciting, and went well."

The teams were invited by Jerry Szabo, coach of the the day that they could have won the tournament. "Toward women's volleyball team, based on their ability to play. "I the end, we started playing with intensity. I think that it hope that this will help us (the women's volleyball team) get just wasn't our morning," said Goebel. Sue Evich, sophomore, added, "It was really fun and invited to more tournaments," said Szabo. The teams began the competition at 8 a.m. But by 5 p.m., exciting even though we didn't really do well." This was the semi-final competition had begun. The ten teams had Evich's first Cabrini volleyball tournament. Fortunately, the tournament will not effect the women's been narrowed to four. The four remaining schools pitted against each other were Swarthmore vs. Elizabethtown and volleyball team going to the playoffs. For Szabo and his team, the tournament was a warm-up for the playoffs. "It's Rosemont vs. Catonsville. The four teams played hard but Swarthmore overcame hard to play schools like lmmaculata and Bryn Mawr,but it allows us to acquaint ourselves with the caliber we will Elizabethtown 2 - 0, while in the Rosemont-Catonsville match, Catonsville also won the match 2-0.

Young and old enjoy.time together "They really liked the music and I saw a few of them dancing around like little kids," Mary Mulligan, registered nurse, guest at the Juniors for Seniors dinner last year said . "It was nice to mix the 'juniors' and 'seniors' because sometimes older people feel neglected, but at that event, they were needed. "Last year 22 "seniors" were welcomed at Cabrini by "juniors" with a spaghetti dinner followed by a dance and music provided by Campus Sound. According to Sr. Regina Peterson, advisor, social work club, many students share a belief in the myth that most senior citizens are disabled and confined to nursing homes. "It is a fact that only four percent are confined and the students' image really represents the mysth," Peterson said. "The last couple of years the social work students have brought the elderly people to the campus to
show the 'juniors' that the 'seniors' are still able to function in society." Dorothy Brown, 72, said, "I danced to fast music with Glenn Griffin, . (senior), and thought I would step on his feet. I was sweating and could not seem to keep up with him." According to Sr. Patricia Stancato, secretary, social work club, the elderly are often shunted from the mainstream of our youth oriented society, and what 'juniors' should realize is that the 'seniors' have many life experiences and wisdom to share with them. George Hitchens, senior citizen from the Wayne Center said he got a kick out of being around all the women and talking with them and giving advice. "Being a day or two older than them, I feel that the most important thing in life is for them to put their noses to the grindstone, because they will have to do everything for themselves, nobody will do it for them," he said.
Mother Ursula Infante, MSC, an 88 year old life trustee to the college, said, "Those people who find it difficult to deal with old people have to understand that they are only going to get what they give." "I felt a sentiment of gratitude to the juniors who have such love and respect for old age, they always smiled and were courteous to me," Infante continued. "I got a lot of attention from the younger people who catered to me, served me dinner and presented me with a carnation. I admired the students from the social work club who picked the senior citizens up from their homes and brought them to Cabrini." The "seniors" primarily come from the Wayne, Radnor and Devon areas, according to Peterson. Cabrini placed some restrictions on them. They had to live alone, be over the age of 65 and on a controlled income. Beginning Friday, Nov.8, at 6:30
p.m. and continuing until 11p.m. on Saturday, Nov.9, the third annual "juniors" for "seniors" weekend will consist of a first ever 24 hour dance marathon along with the traditional volleyball game. The commuter affairs club in cooperation with the social work club, Wawa food markets and the Federation of Senior Centers, has organized the dance marathon. The dinner/dance will continue from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. in the cafeteria, and at least 50 "seniors" are expected to show up, according to Theresa Tabasso, junior. The Wayne Center alone will have 41 participating "seniors". Glenn Griffin, senior, added, "Before I became a social work major and actively involved with the social work club, I found it extremely difficult to relate to old people, so I overlooked them, but now I understand and appreciate the elderly."

Disc Jockeying:
It's not as ¡easy as it looks Do you think it's easy being a disc jockey for Campus Sound? There are 17 students at Cabrini involved in this activity who will tell you right away that it is just as much work as it is fun, "but it is worth it." Just like any other organization, Campus Sound is run by club officers. Positions of music director and chairperson are also held. A tremendous amount of time is given by these people so that when their time comes to DJ their music flows smoothly. When does their time come to DJ? At dances, occasional cafeteria entertainment, off-campus parties on request and more recently, "Club night" at Cabrini. Larry Aquino, junior, vice-president of Campus Sound, said, "Being a part of the first Club night at Cabrini was a great experience. If this nonalcoholic club becomes permanent, disc jockeying will be a great challenge for Campus Sound." Preparations for nights such as these take some time. Equipment must be transported, set up, and tested to perfection. Campus Sound uses their own equipment which is owned by the club, not by its members. The funds for Campus Sound are budgeted by the Student Government Association. When all of the equipment is ready for use and the crowds for an event are strolling in, the question the DJ's ask themselves is what song should be played first? Allen Reyes, junior, treasurer, said, "You play accordingly. Once you see what the crowd is like, more mellow or more rowdy, you get a feeling for what to play. It also depends on how many people there are in the crowd." Campus Sound tries to satisfy everyone in their audience. They want to play what everyone else
wants to hear. At each of their playing dates, a request book is on hand for anyone to request a song. If Campus Sound has it, they will play it when they find an appropriate slot. A prompt format is used by each of these DJ's to avoid any confusion when it is time for the DJ's to switch. When asked about the time and dedications involved in being a DJ, some of the members of the club responded, "Sure this is a great deal of work, but it is a good time for us and for everyone else, that is why it is
worth it." In comparison to disc jockeying for Campus Sound instead of radio, Aquino said, "Disc jockeying for live events gives a person more selfsatisfaction because you can see the reactions of the people by the music you are playing." Concerning personality differences between a radio DJ and a live DJ, Aquino said, "Good oral communication skills as an emcee are stressed more for live DJ entertainment, but that may not
necessarily be true. I tend to let someone else do the speaking on the microphone at a live performance. You don't have to have the most aggressive and vocal personality to be a live DJ." Mark Murray, junior, chairman of dances, said, "One of the best things about disc jockeying for Campus Sound is that you can set the mood for so many people. You are, more or less, in control. It can be a very good feeling." Kimberly Kovach -----
Rain, sleet or snow won't keep Fallon away Perhaps you have already noticed the odd mailmans cap and jacket. Or maybe you noticed him setting up equipment for the womens softball, volleyball, or basketball teams. "He never really stands out, he just shys back, but you can always bet he is there in the background, ready to help." said Michelle latesta, junior. Michael Fallon, junior, has been a great asset to the athletic department at Cabrini. He started out as ¡
manager of the volleyball team for work-study credit, but he liked it so much that he pursued it and since then he has managed the women's volleyball, softball, basketball teams as well as the men's soccer team. This primarily involves maintenance of the equipment, keeping score, setting up the volleyball net, and checking the van to see that everything is there for the away games. "He keeps the team

going on and off of the field. He is someone who just doesn't quit," Dave Kodluk, sophomore, said. Michael is otherwise referred to as 'the mailman.' Ever since a party where the general consensus was that Michael resembled a mailman, he has been nicknamed 'the mailman.¡ He doesn't mind that most people do not recognize him by his real name, in fact, he considers his nickname a form of respect. Helen Goodwin, womens athletic director, said, "Michael is a very conscientious individual, which is why things _alwaysrun so smoothly in our department. I realize that he is only a junior, but already I worry what I will do when he graduates." Goodwin went on to say, "he seems to be always in the right place at the right time." "When he says he'll be there, you can count on it that he will be," Mark Murray, junior, commented. According to his friends, he really is a mailman. Come rain, sleet, or snow just like the mail deliveries are always there, you can also depend on him to be there. Tammy Hargrove -----
