tough loss in Latrobe---

Dormitory vandalism:

Innocent to pay by Kate Welsh

Extension phones ripped off walls, fire extinguishers stolen or broken, holes in walls, thermostat covers broken, and windows smashed are examples of the acts of vandalism occurring in the campus dormitories. These damages, along with those done on Mischief Night this year, are costing the school, and ultimately the students, hundreds of dollars. Almost $300 was spent to clean three houses, Maguire, Infante and Sullivan Houses, after the Mischief Night incident. This bill, however, does not include the labor done by the women in Sullivan House, who cleaned the inside of the house themselves. The bill for the damages done in Xavier Hall during the month of September was $173.88. According to Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident lite, the bill for the month of October for this dorm will be twice that. Who will be paying these bills? "lfl can't find the person or persons who did the damage, I'm going to have to charge the students," Lilly says. "We just don't have that much money in the budget to spend on all these damages." Lilly says that she feels "genuinely bad" about charging those who may be innocent, but also feels that this is the only thing she can do. She hopes that this will get those students who are innocent to speak up when they see someone breaking or damaging property in their dorms or houses.

What isYalewithout 'wy?

Vandalism: costly, unacceptable

My life has been a series of disillusionments. First, I discover that there is no tooth fairy. Then I learn that Santa Claus is really my parents ..Now, after a trip to New Haven, Conn., I'm faced with the cruelest reality of all: there is no ivy at Yale. One would naturally expect jungles of the clinging green vines to cover the stone halls of the "ivy-league" school. Yet the only facsimile I could find was a fern plant growing from a student window. If the school had any concern with maintaining its world-reknown reputation, it would cultivate the plant - ivy league without ivy is a mere fascade. And just what would Harvard or Brown say · about that? And that's not all. The Yale trip disclosed to myself and the the investigative editors ofLoquitur further shocking misconceptions about ivy-league (or rather "pseudo-ivy" league) life:

'Here's a _tipto the men of Xavier: if you ever want to have a11:o~her _housing ~tion, don't destroy the one you're living m. . · The vandalism Just doesn't make sense, guys. If you do11'tlike the dorm, keep it clean and unmarred and you've proven your ability to live within the fragile walls of the houses. B:ut abuse the cinderblock domain and you'r"' destined to live in your own mess ~~~~finitely.

Myth #1: Yaleys dress in standard preppie attire oxfords, izods, sweaters, horn-rimmed glasses, docksiders. The truth is that the typical Yale student dresses much like the typ1cal Cabrini student with one notable exception: almost everyone was wearing a scarf. (Upon relection, the fact that it was 30 degrees and windy may have had something to do with this).

Van·dalismand its results are unfair to those who didn't partake in it. Don't yov--knowthat vandalism just angers people? Not only does' it anger resident life, who is responsible for repairing the damages, but it infuriates your nonviolent dormmates who feel the financial burden of your action, either in direct fines or in tuition hikes. Couldn't you take your frustrations outside on one of the 110 acres of trees on our lots? This isn't high ·school;~it's almost the real world. Punched walls and broken phones won't cut it in the work environment. The entire campus is embarassed by the· childishness of your actions. Quadmates - protest, stand up for your rights to live in a non-vandalised dormitory. Get back some of that pride that you once had for Counsel.

Myth #2:-Yale students study constantly. We were not fooled by the "burning the midnight oil" appearance of lights on in student rooms. So we investigated a dorm library, opened a book (donated by some rich alum) and found tht it had not been checked out since 1935. These volumes were obviously an academic front. After all, they need to have something impressive to show freshmen parents. So where were the students? At a local disco/bar named - of all things - "Toad."

virginia a. smith Myth #3:Yale is crawling with handsome, rich lawyers-to-be. At least we couldn't find them! Perhaps the university stashed them away behind the locked courtyard gates we tried to open. Or maybe future lawyers just don't have a tolerance for the cold New Haven weather. So how does Yale compare to Cabrini? (Admittedly, it was difficult to distinguish our two educational institu. tions apart). . First, there's size. While we do have our 110 rolling acres, Yale is comprised of 12 resident colleges and more : than its share of austere, gothic edifices, all encompassed by downtown New Haven. We are still not really sure · which part was the university and which part was the town. An inside resource revealed, however, that the property behind the locked gates was probably the institution. Then, there's its sense of history. Their list of distinguished alumni read like a "who's ever been who" throughout the world. And in their hundreds of lecture halls are hung painted portraits of pretentious-looking patriarchs. (I believe we have a projector screen in ours). One thing we do have, however, that Yale sorely lacks is ivy. And we don't make boastful claims of being in any such venerable league. Maybe if we could acquire some portrait paintings and adopt some prestigious alumni, we could be rival to Harvard.

Mass: fine idea Letter to the Editor: In the interest of presenting an opposing view, I would like to say that I thought the special mass said on Oct. 20 at Cabrini was a fine idea. The celebration of the mass should never be normal. If we did not take the opportunity presented to us through the mass to address issues' and concerns of importance to our faith we would be doing our community a great disservice. If the real purpose of the mass was not to come together to express a common faith, we could worship individually. The Catholic Church's challenge j;o be a pro-life should be a part of that common faith that we should be free to express through the mass. Lastly, having a pro-choice speaker appear at Cabrini would be like having a Pretorian government official speak at Cheyney State. Sinc~rely, Cathy Young,. junior

Examining Campus Ministry

3

Bowling for fun

by Tammy Hargrove If you attend Cabrini College you are involved with Campus Ministry whether you realize it or no.t. Campus Ministry is,"as simple as a friendly smile passed on to a fellow student," said Beverly Reilly, Campus Minister. But Campus Ministry is also as complex an organizational group to initiate the planning of a marriage or a lifelong vocation. Campus Ministry is funded through a fixed budget initiated by Cabrini College itself. They supplement this budget through fund raisers. Some fund raising activities have included selling Christmas pins for lapels, and also ice cream extravaganzas. (All you can eat for one price.) However, the benefits of the fund raisers are far more beneficial spiritually than any financial stability Campus Mi:r;iistry might hope to gain. All of the money raised from fund raisers is donated to special charities and events such as Hospices, Covenant Houses, Good Will and hunger awareness. A form of Campus Ministry originated the first day Cabrini College began and is still evident today through the Chaplain/ Campus Minister, Fr. Mark Falcone, O.Praem. Since that day Campus Ministry has expanded. Campus Ministry is now comprised of many committees, four officers, and two Campus Ministers, Beverly Reilly in addition to Falcone. Jennifer Wimmer, freshman, is in charge of music ministry. This consists of musicians, music, and music coordinators. Debbie Larkins, senior, secretary, is in charge of the Litugical Committee. Her role is to organize lectors and scheduling, Eucharistic Ministers, coordinators, greeting committee, and artists for programs. Chris Jeffers, vice-president, junior, is in charge of the service committee. She is the organizing agent in the ministry with the handicapped, CCD teachers, Mercy Hospice Helpers, visitation of nursing homes and shut-ins, advertisement of Campus Ministry Activities, peer ministry, and the Appalachia Program. Mary Beth Cunney, histiorian, senior, is in charge of the Social Committee. Her role includes discussion group coordination, .party organization, prayer group coordination and retreat planning. Special Projects are taken care ofby Joe Dodds, junior. Special projects include fundraisers, search committees for the distribution of collected funds, Pro-life, hunger awareness programs, and social justice awareness program. Some programs initiated by Campus Ministry are Penance, assistance to arrange and prepare for marriage, adult initiation into Catholicism through Baptism, and Holy Orders Vocation as a lifetime decision . . Campus Ministry also sponsors prayer group meetings on a weekly WednesdayThursday alternating schedule, a scripture study group, and modern presentation of Catholicism through the exploration of all the beliefs of the Catholic Faith with emphasis on the Sacraments. Coffee and cake is available for faculty, staff, administration, and students in the campus ministry lounge outside the Campus Ministry office in the Widener Center, second floor every other Tuesday from 9 a.m. until noon. A special event that Campus Ministry initiates is Project Appalachia. This project gives students interested in volunteering a chance to help the less fortunate and also the opportunity "to mold the students together to fight for a common cause," said Fr. Mark. '½.ppalachia is a chance for us to see not only how the other half lives, but to also experience their lifestyle for a week. Believe me, their lifestyle is an experience in itself, one you will never forget," said Betty Hogan, junior, who went on the project last year.

A special project now taking place is Hunger Awareness Week. Every day of the week a new event is taking place to raise money for the hungry.

Alumni awarded for accomplishments by James M. Cahill

Class reunions: most people dread them, fearing that they won't match up to the successes of their classmates. Not so, however, for Nancy Gorevin Costello, class of , '71, Edith McFadden, M.D., class of'65, and Sr. Maria Pasqualini, MSC, who were specially recognized by their fellow alumni for their accomplishments at the annual Alumni Day on Oct. 19. McFadden, recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award, graduated Cabrini a chemistry major, and went on to receive her M.A. from Villanova University in 1974. In 1979, she earned her M.D. from the · University of Pennsylvania. She is presently engaged in research in the fields of cochlear bioenergetics and cytoskeletal proteins under Franz Matschinsky, M.D. at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

tel10. Ironically, Costello's interest in her present occupation, owner of a floral design service, was revealed to her when she was chairperson for the Cabrini Designer's Showhouse, a floral design show held at Cabrini for the local community. In her years at Cabrini, Costello was an education major and received the Education Department Award. After graduation, she taught seventh and eighth grade at Villa Maria Academy for four years. During this time, she attained her master's degree in Education from West Chester University.

In 1970, however, with the birth of her first son, Costello abandoned her teaching aspirations. She then became more involved with the Cabrini Alumni Association, and served on the Executive Board. Has Costello missed teaching since she has embarked on her own business? "I'd like to try teaching at a college level, maybe," she said.

HIGH SCHOOL ART SHOW OCCURRING-The High School Art Show opened Sunday, Nov.16 and will run through Dec. 8 on the second floor of the Holy Spirit Library. The art show includes various exhibits in ceramics, commercial art, drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture.

While Costello's business has taken on some major projects, such as interior plantscaping for malls and doctor's offices, she said that she would like to try her hand at something bigger, "something like the King of Prussia Court, maybe." Sr. Maria Pasqualini, MSC, was made an Honorary Alumni. Pasqualini has served as Mansion head resident twice, from 1969 to 1973, and again from 1978 to the present. "Shadow", as Pasqualini has been affectionately nicknamed due to her watchful presence in the dorm, commented on the residents she oversees. "They know I trust them. If they break that trust, it bothers me and it bothers them. They know I'm here for them," she said. "Sometimes just being there is enough." Pasqualini is well known and loved by students and alumni alike. "Contact is not lost at graduation. I get invited to a lot of weddings and post-graduate graduations," Pasqualini said.

Student attrition:

Once you get them, can you keep them?

I

HelpWanted

Cabrini's enrollment hit a new high this fall with 719 men and women enrolling here, of which 58 males and 151 females make up the freshman class. Statistics show, however, that based on a national average 50% of these freshman will have withdrawn by their senior year. Cabrini College is committed to excellence in teaching and the development of the student as a liberally educated person who can meet the demands of professional growth and who has concern for values. During the past 28 years, the college has experienced significant changes: the expansion of campus facilities, the development of academic programs, and the growth of the student body. Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life, thinks that in general the attrition (withdraw}) rate at Cabrini is somewhat better than the national average. "Based on last year's figures, the attrition rate between freshman and sophomore year was around 20 percent, and the attrition rate between sophomore and junior year was almost that high, but it has decreased somewhat," Lilly said. "Then the attrition rate between junior and senior year was a lot less." There seems to be a general pattern which all students follow beginning their freshman year. According to Lilly, the first semester for freshman is a time of adjustment that is both new and exciting, and takes time for adapting. By the end of the first semester, academic pressure starts to set in, and most do poorly because they are still adjusting to the idea of more freedom than usual.

After the novelty of the freshman year has worn off, those returning as sophomores must realize that they have to make a conimittment to put whatever effort they need into education, both academically and socially. With these factors in mind, the sophomore year becomes a crucial point in the lives of many students. This period, referred to as the 'sophomore slump', is when students say to themselves, 'Well, here I am. What am I going to do, and how am I going to do it?' "That might be a factor, in some cases, in the decision to transfer someplace else after the sophomore year," Lilly said. "I would think, in general, that most trans·fers would be going to a larger school if they leave here after the sophomore year." Donna Seckar, director of career counseling, sees many students coming to the career center to look at catalogues and books as a way to identify with other schools and get some information about them. Seckar said, "I think sophomores occassionally transfer because they know if they transfer after their sophomore year they really begin to lose, course-wise." Seckar encourages all the students she sees to explore their options and think things through before making a decision. "Sometimes people have ups and downs," Seckar said. ''When people are down they come over and look at the catalogues and then they hit an up period where everything is good and it just kind of goes by." For those students deciding to transfer, they must have an exit interview with Dr. Mary Ann Biller, academic dean, in which they fill out a form explaining their reasons for leaving. In the year that Biller has been

EXCELLENT MKGQPPQRD lNIJY-

with Cabrini, she'has done an analysis on the reasons why students leave, placing each in a catagory; financial, personal, onIeave, in-active, and part-time. Those students on-leave usually leave for medical reasons and do expect to return once they have worked out their problems. Those who are in-active have sometimes failed a course and must pick up extra credits in order to graduate the following year, or they are on probation for low grades. "It's like a revolving door," said.Biller. In the past, however, there has not always been a great success witli getting students to go to exit interviews, since some just never show up for classes after summer vacation. Lilly said, "From the residency point of view, we never know until the first day of school who is actually going to show up and who isn't." This past September, there were, reportedly, five such cases in which upperclassmen did not return. Although some students speak of leaving, each for their own reasons, Lilly, Biller, Seckar, and others among the campus community remain in constant communication with one another to help each student sort out their indecisions in order to help them make an educational choice. Lilly knows practically all the upperclassmen by name. "I don't know all the freshman yet - it will take a year to get to know them," she said. "I think that's kind of odd that a director ofresident life knows everyone's names and where they live!" "That's what makes Cabrini, "Cabrini," and that's one of the reasons that people who come here choose to come here because there is that small, personal approach," Lilly added.

Losing work-grant costs students money by Mary Sanderson

Every year students lose money awarded to them for work- grant services (hourly services rendered in exchange for an automatic tuition credit) due to a lack of keeping up on their hours. Arlene McEvilla-Dittbrenner, director of financial aid, said as of this point in the semester, many students are behind on their work-grant hours. Students have until the end of the semester to catch up, otherwise their work-grant hours will be taken away. Financial aid is sending out notices to those who are falling.behind. Cutting the grant is not an unusual system. Several students have already lost their grants due to lack of working their hours or have voluntarily given it up because they can't perform a service. The problem of not being up-to-date on hours is not always due to the student's procrastination. Ann Marie Baeurle, freshman, says she is behind on her hours due to the problem of finding a job at the beginning of the year. "I went to places to look for a job and found that all the positions were filled. In other cases, I was unable to fit the open hours into my schedule," Baeurle said. Due to this delay, she has been behind ever since. Steve Pascali, freshman, did not know he was awarded work- grant unti~ several weeks into the semester when he began receiving notices telling him he was behind. He said the grant did not show up on his award letter from financial aid. Pascali was awarded 16 hours workstudy. However, he found it difficult working so much and realized his studies were suffering as a result. He then decided to quit his job in order to pick up bis grades and will resume working during second semester. Pascali thinks that work-grant is a good idea and unlike work-study, "You don't have the temptation of spending your money." According to McEvHla-Dittbrenner, the work-grant program was started approximately four years ago as an attel}lpt to help students pay their tuition. The amount of money awarded is based on each student's financial need. In return, the student performs a service. These services include campus watch, monitors for the computer lab, communications center, education resource center and other various job~ that allow studying to be done while working.

Unlike work-study, the students do not receive a check. The money is applied directly towards their tuition. "I think work- grant is more beneficial because it actually goes toward your tuition, whereas you don't know where you will spend your work- study money," Baeurle said . McEvilla-Dittbrenner also said that prior to the program's beginning, dorm duty (campus watch) took up 30 percent of the work-study budget. These and other jobs were not academically or vocationally oriented, so the grant program was started in order to leave the work-study program open to more career-oriented jobs. Barb Colantuono, senior, Woodcrest resident assistant, said that most students are keeping up on their campus watch hours.

Commenting on those students who do not take their work- grant.hours seriously, Zazyczny said, ''They are irresponsible idiots! Money is hard to come by these days, so students should take advantage of money awarded to them. The money they are not using could be given to other students who do not receive financial aid and need it."

Still, there are those who are ahead with their hours. Joel Zazyczny, freshman, works eight hours of work-grant along with 16 hours of work-study. Through

From the Resident Ute Staff However, she said, there is a problem with finding people to work on weekends. "The resident manager makes sure the women work during their assigned times. However, we leave it up to financial aid to notify students when they are behind," she said. Lucia Laurito, senior, communications center supervisor, said that with the exception of about two, the majority of people assigned to monitor the communications center are doing their hours. "Those who do not do their hours are warned and have one chance to start making up their hours. If they fail to show up the next time they are scheduled to work, they are dismissed from their responsibilities," Laurito said. Yet there is still the problem that concerns the students who, due to a change in their families income did not receive a work-grant award at all. Such is the case with MaryLynn Buddy, sophomore. She received work-grant in her freshman vear. but not in her sophomore year. She

Playoff

Soccer:

by B.J. Petracci

It came down to sudden death, triple overtime. It was a hardfought battle played in the mud. But when St. Vincent's Chris Riding scored at the nine minute mark of the sudden death overtime period, the game and the post-season play was over. The men's soccer team traveled five hours to Latrobe, Pennsylvania to play in the Regional 10 playoffs. Cabrini was the District 19 champion, while St. Vincent, ranked 17th nationally in NAIA, had captured the District 18 title. "I thought they played as well as they possibly could have._I was really proud of them," said Coach Bill Crowley of his team's performance. According to Larry Tukis, senior, captain, the soccer team really achieved a lot this year. They captured their first District 19 title and finished with an 11-3-2 record overall. ''We set examples not only for ourselves, but for other teams as well. They now know that Cabrini soccer is a team to be reckoned with," said Tukis. The defense played exceptional for Cabrini, being led by Todd Griffin, senior, captain. "It's the best'feeling in the world to look up the field and know that their whole team was marked up (with a defender on every player)," commented

'

Tukis on the defensive play of the Cavs. For.five seniors it was their last collegiate soccer game. The seniors included: Bob Berger, Patrick Connelly, Todd and Glenn Griffin, and Larry Tukis. "This game really meant a lot because it was my last game at Cabrini. We played with our hearts and we really wanted to win. Unfortunately, the conditions of the field didn't help matters," said Berger. The play went up and down the field throughout the game. Both teams had a few opportunities to score, but both goalies came up strong. '.1think everybody played as hard as they could and gave it everything they could. We were prepared to play. We have no excuses," said Connelly. , According to Joe Klimek, junior, "We all went into the game with everything to gain and nothing to lose. We all played the game of our lives." Tukis agreed with Klimek, "It was the best game played by the soccer team since I've been here." The majority of the players interviewed feel it would have been a different game if the conditions were better. "It made it harder to run, but everyone was psyched enough not to let it bother them. I don't think, however that it would have went as long as it did, if it was dry," said Andy Spence, freshman. Klimek added, "Because of the conditions we couldn't really play our type of game." "I think the rain really hurt the offense, but for the defense i_tdidn't really matter," said Tukis. Crowley, summing up his team's effort, commented, "It is not as important whether you win or lose, as much.as the effort given. The team gave it their all. They can always wake up and look in the mirror and be proud."

The mud didn't CrossCountry:

by Randy T. Letko

Cross country running is a special type of competition: in not too many sports can a participant have exclamations of "excellent", "magnificent" and "awesome" after completing close to 30 minutes of grueling physical exertion in knee-deep, ice cold water, with wind conditions that would rival any hurricane and against some of the best conditioned competitors in the nation. Cabrini College sent nine runners, a seven man team and two individual female qualifiers, to the NAIA National Cross Country Championships Saturday, Nov.17 held at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. For tbe men, it was a return trip to Wisconsin, having finished 34th in last year's meet. Their goal this year was, simply, to place in the top 25 as a team. For the two women, it was a chance to experience the best in competition after a , rebuilding year for a dormant program. It was also an opportunity to be the very nrst female athletes of any sport to represent Cabrini College in a national championship event. In the men's race, senior captain Dave Long, running his last cross country race as a Cavalier, paralleled his race as "Letting a kid out in a rain storm and just having a good ol' time slopping through the mud." As Cabrini's first finisher, 205th place out of 355 runners in 28 minutes and 56 seconds, Long led the Cavaliers to a 34th place finish out of 39 complete finishing teams. Sophomore John Donahue, a veteran of last year's team, ran a very strong race, finishing as Cabrini's second runner in 233rd in 29:20. Freshmen twins Dean and Paul Magolon, who had strung together a series of twin finishes in the last three races, were upset in their bid for a side by side national finish as Paul Magolon, finished 259th in 29:39. Dean Magolon was one of the many victims of the poor footing throughout the race, falling six times en route to a 296th place finish in 30:30. Sandwiched between the Magolons and running within eyesight of each other were freshman Mike Tllgend, 285th in 30:06,

Later,_ after warming up, Tugend and sophomore Ed Bauer, 290th in 30:13. reflected on his very first national meet. "It Sophomore Peter Casazza was Cabrini's was definitely an experience," Tugend said. final finisher, placing 311th in 30:55. "I think the thing I'll remember most Long was actually happy that conditions were so bad. "I liked the conditions here," about the meet is seeing Dean Magolon Long said.

''After I passed the finish line and I realized that it was finally oyer, I had a tremendous feeling of accomplishment." Murray said,''Then, I started talking to the girls in front of me and behind me in the finish chute. I was amazed at how far sbme of them had traveled just to run this race." "I felt like a real runner," Murray said. "I had mud all over my face and my body and I thought, 'I want to come back next year and kick some butt, this is fun." The need to share the experience with teammates was a major concern for both runners. "It was fun, but I would have enjoyed it more ifwe had a team," Murray said. "Watching the men's team and seeing how fired up they got and how they ran with all their guts right to the end got me excited about trying to build a team for next year." , Coach Bev Reilly, who was unable to attend the meet, was equally enthused about the race of her two runners. "First off, I'm real proud of Maureen and Jeanne. With the conditions they had to run in and the high caliber of competitions, I think that their performance should inspire them for setting goals for next year."

"My double role allows for advantages on both sides. It enables me to be a better student and instructor." Bailey's students are very aware of his unusual empathy for them. "He's one of the fairest teachers I've known and takes his time with everyone. He really cares about students and wants them to learn. He pushes you, but not beyond your ability," said Jody Romano, junior. Another philosophy student, Aliza Candelori, sophomore, added, "The material is so in-depth, but he really tries hard to explain it.

Because Bailey believes a lot of philosophy has lost its meaning to academics and has become much too serious, the Framingham University graduate is hoping to make a career out of teaching, taking secondary education courses since last spring. Pointed out by some students as "the teacher who likes Rolling Rock beer," Bailey enjoys working on old cars as a form of hands-on therapy and is very proud of his MG he fixed-up himself.

Hanging up her skates:

Competitor reflects onchildhood dream by Debbi Maida Imagine yourself skating across the ice, hearing the audience cheering, feeling the excitement go through you as you· swirl around the rink. Gina Catinella, freshman, had a chance to experience life as a competitive skater. She started ice skating when she was ten years old; skating for both enjoyment and competition. "I love to skate and I had fun competing, but now I'm too old to compete, although I am still going to skate for my own pleasure," said Catinella. According to Catinella, skating was her whole life, leaving almost no time for social or family activities. The only time she spent with friends was in the classroom at school where she had only one or two close friends. "It (skating) came before anything else. It was my top priority," Catinella said. Because she practiced three, four hours, maybe more after school during the week, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, Catinella rarely had time to see her family. "My family was very cooperative. Sometimes they had to make their plans around me and my skating," Catinella said. According to Catinella, her mother acted as a taxi service at times, taking Catinella back and forth to the rink. Catinella said her mother knew how much skating meant to her and never complained.

Setting aside her cherished skates and a dream of professional skating, Gina Catinella, freshman, chooses to futher her education. (photo by Allen K. Reyes)

"Even when a competition was coming up and I spent all my time practicing, I was snippy and crabby when I spent time with my

family, but they understood and let me be," Catinella said. Catinella remembers one instance when her father missed several days of work because of a competition in Lake Placid, N.Y. According to Catinella, not only was it time consuming but financially costly. "My parents never had any · complaints when it came time to paying the bills," Catinella stated. For Catinella, going on to college meant giving up a career in skating.

'Skating came before anything else; it was my top priority' -Gina Catinella, freshman "All my hopes and dreams ended. I knew I was never going to be an Olympic skater," she said. Rather than wait, Catinella decided to attend college now in order to go to school with students her own age. Enjoying her new life as a student, Catinella tastes independence and is making a lot of friends. '½.t home I had no real responsibilities except those of skating and school," Catinella said. Catinella is still skating, but at this time simply for pleasure. As for skating professionally in the future, "I'm going to continue skating so I can keep up, go professional and hopefully one day teach."

Alcoholconsumption:

Greater awareness as drinking continues by Robin McKeon Weeke~ds are made for having fun fun that, according to Michelob beer commercials, includes alcohol. Weekends, fun, alcohol and college students have been closely linked with one another for decades. Although a lot of campuses are technically "dry", including Cabrini, alcohol consumption has not ceased. However, a recent study by BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students) indicates that the consumption of alcohol on college campuses has decreased. According to Michael Fairbanks, coordinator of the Alcoholism Services ofCrozerChester Medical Center, "There are too many variables to conclude that students are drinking less. The college population has decreased, so alcohol consumption decreases." Kerry Hogan, junior, does not think the consumption of alcohol on Cabrini's campus has decreased over the past three years. "Most students go to off-campus parties or bars," Hogan said. · Katie Slaymaker, ~enior, agrees with Hogan. "There is definitely as much drinking ," Slaymaker said, in reference to her years at Cabrini. "The difference is that most of the drinking done now is offcampus." "PreseI?tly, there are frequent assertions that the campuses are in the midst of an epidemic of alcoholism," said Dr. Cordell H. Thomas of the Social Action Workshop,(ln his Feb. 1985 report to the 15th Annual Sociological Research Symposium). "While the notion of an epidemic

carries the implication that there has been a dramatic change in the drinking of this group (college students), the data does not,'' Thomas has done extensive research on this particular topic. His findings show that college drinking is more a form ofrecreation than anything else. Thomas says, "People have to learn to handle alcohol. It is easier to be against drinking than to teach kids to drink." Although there is a lot of alcohol awareness on college campuses, tlie drinking habits of students have not changed. While there are as many _students drinking, there is an upswing of those who take responsibility and don't drink and drive; one person stays sober to drive the others home.

opment of non-alcoholic events which are very successful. According to "National On-Campus Report", a lot of campuses, such as Cabrini have set up cafes featuring non- alcoholic drinks, and snacks, and movies on Friday and Saturday nights; it sets a meeting place for the students. Cathy Pace, senior, is a present representative of the Cabrini Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board. She thinks that the outburst of concern for college consumption of

alcohol has everything to do with alcoholrelated deaths. BADD (Brothers against drunk driving), MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), and SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving), are all responses to this factor. Pace also thinks that students are drinking less since she was a freshman. "It's not as easy to get away with drinking; the R.A.'s have become more responsible."

It is a "ride line" that runs from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. on weekends to bring students back to campus safely from area bars. Students volunteer to drive the vans.

The busy social activities bees

plan your social calendar Behind almost every activity held on Cabrini's campus there is a group of very hard working individuals holding the pieces together. Social activities spends countless hours of hard work and planning to put forth events that would be of interest to all members of Cabrini's community. The group has already been heavily involved with events such as

Homecoming, the Haunted House, Halloween Dance and Pub night. These are just a few on a very long list of social gatherings the group sponsors. Movie night is something new to do at Cabrini and social activities is responsible for its existence. The Christmas dance will be the next major project dealt with.

Heading these extremely ,energenic people are Brian Fef)ley, junior, Kathy Funk, sophomore and Kathy O'Donnell, junior. Other members are juniors Lori lnve,:so, Terry Neilio, and Jody Romano. Sophomore members include Sue Crimmins, Peggy Federico and Betsy Mahoney. Freshmen members

include Kerry Gallagher, Anne Marie Bierely and Chris Schlindwein. Aside from the duties on social activities each member is also obligated to his or her class branch of SGA or executive board. Hard workin_g, responsible, dedicated, and slightly crazy are the best words to describe this backbone regime of SGA.
