WCAB aspires a spot on FM dial

by Kate Welsh Imagine this: You are sitting at home doing your homework. You turn on the radio to 88.5 on your FM dial, and suddenly you hear WCAB, Cabrini's radio station, on the air.

It is just a dream though, right?

Well, this dream may soon become a reality. On October 18, 1985, Cabrini College filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for an FM license. If this application is granted, WCAB would be heard not only on campus, but by Montgomery, Chester and Delaware counties as well.

The application, which was filed by Jerome Zurek, professor of English and communications, will be examined by the FCC over the next year to make sure Cabrini meets the qualifications required for an FM station.

Among other things, the station must prove that they will be serving the community, and that they will not be interfering with any other frequencies, (which in Cabrini's case would be WPVI-TV, channel six).

According to Zurek, the station would serve two educational functions: It would serve the community by offering cultural and educational programming, and it would also provide training for the students interested in radio broadcasting.

"The radio station is one of the most popular activities in the department," Zurek said. "Last year 60 of the 160 students majoring in communications were somehow involved with WCAB.".

Zurek said the idea of applying for an FM license was first brought up by Frank Hogan, radio productions instructor, WCAB advisor, four or five years ago. ''We started talking about it from day one," Hogan said, "You say 'Why today?', I say 'Why not today?'."

help Cabrini get more recognition and become more famous in the Philadelphia area, Cant said.

She also feels that it will be beneficial to those interested in radio broadcasting. .''The students will take it more seriously," she said.

Commuters are also excited about this new possibility. As it is now, the radio is broadcast over carrier current, which is a closed circuit cable heard only on-campus.

If Cabrini were to be granted an FM

'I feel that the station is maturing, and the students are capable of handling the responsibility of an FM station,' -Jerome Zurek, chairperson of English and communication Both Hogan and Zurek believe that the department is large enough, and students are interested enough to go FM. "I feel that the station is maturing, and the students are capable of handling the responsibility of an FM station," Zurek said.

Students are excited about the idea that WCAB might be going FM. Bernadette Cant, freshman, is a disc jockey for the station. "I think it's a great idea. It will

license, then WCAB could be heard by commuters at home or while driving to and from school. ''I'd like to be able to hear 'CAB on my own radio at home," Donna Angelucci, sophmore, said. "It would help us (commuters) feel more in touch with Cabrini."

Since it is currently only heard on-campus, many commuters do not get a chance to listen to the radio station. ''I've never heard it before," Julie Wilbur,

junior, commuter, said. "If it was to go FM, I could listen to the station in my car."

WCAB can only now wait, while the FCC processes the application. Cabrini will not know whether they will be granted the FM license until next year when the decision is announced.

Villanova is also said to be thinking about applying for the same FM frequency, although they have filed no application with the FCC as of this tim~.

Zurek thinks that Villanova is not a threat tp Cabrini. ''They haven't filed an application yet, and the size of the school is not important in this case," Zurek said.

Hogan agrees. ''The size of the college doesn't matter. The licensed application determines everything," he said.

If Cabrini were to get the FM license, a few changes would have to take place. "The students would have to go through four or five training sessions before they started disc jockeying on- the-air," Hogan said.

Also, there is the problem of space. "For the immediate future, we're okay," Zurek said, ''but in the next couple of years, we would need another studio."

"We're really pressed for space," Hogan said. "What we need from the school is more room."

Alloftheseproblems, however, will come later. The first priority now is getting the FM license. Will that dream come true?

Tune in next year to find the answer.

by Diane C. Spiro and Katie Welsh For the past few years, Campus Ministry has sponsored a bi-annual work/fundraiser opportunity at the Cabrini Medical Center in New York City during the Christmas break. This year the event has been cancelled.

This activity formerly allowed students to gain practical experience by working in the hospital's administrative offices for ten days, and allowed them to earn money for themselves and a charitable project at the same time: One half of the wages earned were donated to the Project Appalachia fund, and the other half was paid to the students.

"We received a call from the director of personnel at the Medical Center saying that they have a lot going on at this time and that is why the work project has been cancelled," said Beverly Reilly, director of campus ministry.

"It was nice while it lasted, but it was not something that the students were promised," said Sr. Christine Marie Baltas, M.S.C., dean of students.

The Medical Center work had been used as a fundraiser toward Project Appalachia, a project which enables students to travel to a town in the Appalachian Mountain region to work with the poor for one week.

Although the New York work/opportunity was cancelled, there will be other fundraisers to aid Project Appalachia, Baltas said. ''The project will be alright (financially) because of (funds raised during) Hunger Awareness Week," Baltas said. There are also other activities planned next semester to help raise funds.

Cabrini students provided entertainment for the St. Mary's Christmas Party held last Tuesday night in the Mansion. The band of amateur actors presented a onetime presentation of the Christmas play, "Friendly the Snowman."

There's no denying it, though. Some of them do make a good amount of money. A franc here, some centimes there do add up.

More than likely, it was "borrowed" because it was there - a reason we abhor. And what bothers us even more is that the "borrowing" of items not belonging to the person is occurring more often, as in the incidents of missing SAM club balloon-o- gram money, of dorm furniture, of bikes and trunks of clothes. Is integrity lacking here, have students lost all respect of personal property? Say it isn't so at a school of this intimate size. .

College life isn'tjust football games

by Donna Horsley Maybe the only thing Nittany Lion Fans remember about that cold, blustery Saturday was the dramatic victory over stateri val Pitt, sending Penn State to the National Championship, or a nasty hangover. But for me, a naive 16 year old, it was watching rowdy fans, tailgate parties, radical students tearing down goal- posts and gorgeous men. My life ambitions changed that afternoon. Forget becoming a stewardess or beautician, I wanted to be a college student!

Envious of my sister in college, I was resentful of all the fun I was sure she was having. Imagine it: sororities, fraternities, football games, parties, distinguished professors, and the ultimate - freedom from parents!

Watching "The Paper Chase" and "Animal House," and listening all ears to my dad's story-telling of the good ole' days at Alabama, I couldn't wait to taste college life. Did professors really fail students if a term paper had a single misspelled word, as my high teachers had always threatened?

Yet when nearing the end of my first semester, freshman year, I panicked. Not only was I still not preppy but I hadn't been

to a college football game (soccer didn't count), had yet to see a single student studying under a tree (as seen in college catalogues), and was using my new knapsack for laundry not books.

And for those, like me, who are terrible at directions and get lost going to the bathroom, Cabrini's small size is appreciated.

RA opening to be filled

Holy Spirit Library to undergo changes

,

by Kimberly Stevens A position for a female resident assistant has recently opened for next semester.

Although the position will be filled by the end of this week, The Resident Life Staff is still left with the unusual situation·ofhaving to train a new RA during the- Christmas break.

Lisa Pancuck, senior, RA of Dixon House, will be leaving Cabrini at the end of this semester, thus creating the opening for a female RA. Pancuck will be leaving the campus to pursue student teaching in her hometown of Berkeley Heights, N.J. She will be teaching in a special education school for severely handicapped children, which will qualify her for certification.

"I have mixed emotions, but I'm basically glad I have this opportunity,'' Pan~ cuck said. "It's hard to leave your friends, though."

"We're sorry to lose her," Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life 1 said. "I certainly want her to do whatever is right for her career."

The process for finding a replacement for Pancuck began the week before Thanksgiving. Flyers were distributed in all the dorms and resident halls, the commuter lounge and the cafeteria, notifying students about the job.

"The job was advertised as a vacancy on the staff, since there may be some shifting within the staff," Lilly said, "So I'm not sure that the person who is hired will go ! into House 2 (Dixon House)." ' When the decision is final, some training 1 will be necessary, according to Lilly. "I am hoping that between the time the person is selected and the next semester, we will have an opportunity to sit down and put the student through a mini-training session," Lilly said. "I think the person will get a lot of support in January, so I'm not really concerned that it's like throwing someone cold into a position that they won't be able to handle. I'm sure we will be able to provide the necessary support."

Along with Pancuck, Lisa Nolan, junior, RA, third floor Woodcrest, will also be vacating her position .after this semester.

Nolan, an education major, will be student teaching on a Navaho Indian reservation in Arizona next semester, according to Lilly.

The library plays a major role in this.

Johnson has a strong belief that the library. is part of a learning environment.

"It works toward making the student better and the student is a product of the college," she said.

As to the amount of time it will take before the changes will begin, Johnson said, "It is not in my hands to decide the length of time." Again, money is the issue.

There is a grant proposal being processed from an outside agency to pay for the security system.

Enlargement of the staff will be paid for by the college and any equipment will be funded by outside agencies and the institution. Until the money comes in, nothing can be done.

The need for the changes was realized when a critical look was taken at Cabrini's facilities. Over the years, the enrollment has increased. As the student body grows, demands must be met in order to meet the needs of the students.

Although the developments will be an asset for the students as well as the library, Johnson said that Holy Spirit is not a university library and never will be. "We can only provide materials that are directly related to the curriculum."

Nola~ will then return in the fall of1986 to resume her studies.

"We had already anticipated Lisa Nolan's leaving," Lilly said. "She found out at the end of last semester that she had the opportunity to student teach in the second semester of this year."

The opening of Nolan's position has been known since last semester, so a replacement was selected for the job when the rest of the staff was chosen. Maureen Murray, junior, will taking the position.

"Maureen went to Leadership Conference and she has alreadv attended RA meetings all semester," Liliy said. "So she is all ready to go right in when Lisa leaves."

Three women students were interviewed last week for the RA opening caused by the departure of Paneuck. The selection announcement is expected at the end of this week.

Leaming while they earn:

i

Students find campus jobs convenient "I check houra on time sheets when they come in. They treat my job as serious " because if I mess u_pI could stop someone from getting a pay check," Mason said.

What makes the college workstudy job different than a job waitressing at Gullifty's or babysitting a screaming child in his terrible twos? Features Editor Donna Horsley talks to students receiving workstudy financial aid about their various duties, responsibilities, reasons for choosing different jobs and what they do with the money they earn.

Angrily waving a parking ticket, an irate student bellows complaints to Anne D'Amico, junior, sitting behind the main desk of the student services office. All a part of her job, D'Amico soothes high flying tempers, saying, "Listen, all I do is collect the money."

"I have to listen to all the friendly people who get pissed- off about their parking tickets! Like today, I had 15 people protesting tickets," D'Amico said.

Doing clerical duties while working as a receptionist, D'Amico gets an opportunity to meet people she would not normally know.

And the administrators D' Amico works for?

"They love me! Usually I take over at lunch and I cover the office when they aren't there," D'Amico said.

Mary Ellen Lilly, director, resident life, said, "We've been fortunate here. They are very conscientious. Students are definitely helpful. They make the office move more, smoothly."

Uke D'Amico, mJny work-study students choose work-study jobs where their interests lie.

Eileen Zebrowski, sophomore, Spanish¡ major, chose to work for the college's language department hoping to gain experience within her major. Zebrowski said the language department professors try to expose her to the Spanish and French cultures. "They try to find things that will relate to me."

While Kathy Gamble, junior, early education and elementary education major, finds working in the education department the past three years helpful, because, "If I have a problem I can always go to one of them (professors of education) for help."

A~cording to Elizabeth "Libby" Endy, coordinator of education resource and media, "90 percent of the workers are education majors. It's benefical for them beC!}USe a lot of courses require them to be in here, anyway."

Work-study students talk about the conviences of working on campus.

Commenting about her work-study job in the continuing education office, Peggy McKay, junior, said, "It's nice because I gave them my free hours and they picked which ones were good for them too. It's a casual atmosphere. I'm given responsible work, but I'm not overworked."

Although McKay likes babysitting, she finds her work-study jobs "a lot more convenient ...and the money is good."

And Mason, who works at Joy-Buster Brown, King of Prussia Mall, in addition to her work-study job, finds working on campus more practical.

"Because when you work in the mall, you worry about gas money, the time you have to allow to get there and an outfit to wear."

\ Donna Capone, junior, uses time effectively to study while putting in workstudy hours at the college's computer lab. (photo by Julia Malik) Work-study jobs also prove learning experiences for students, teaching knowledge and responsibility.

"We're open 64 hours a week and I'm only here part-time and it wouldn't be open without students. They close up and open, even on Sundays. That's a lot ofresponsibility. I've had no problems. They show up out ofrespect to the other students that have to use the resource room and would be unable to if the students weren't there. They rise to their expectations. They d.o what is asked," Endy said.

Working in the computer lab running off papers, putting memory in computers and typing up data base, Julie Hassler, junior, said, "I've learned so much about computers and I'm not even a computers major."

"I work in there 20 hours a week and she (Barbara Duncan, computer programmer) puts me to work. I open up the lab on Mondays and she has work waiting," Hassler said.

Working in financial aid, Betty Hogan, junior, said, "work- study is good because it puts me in a job were I can learn a lot."

And due to the confidental nature of the job, Hogan said it teaches discipline and integrity.

According to Arlene McEvilla-Dittbrenner, "It is necessary students work here, not fringe. They can't afford to shirk responsibilities." She said the most important thing stressed to the work-study student when hired is confidentality, the second, accuracy and the third, reliability.

Joking, Hogan commented on the workstudy program. "Last year I worked in academic affairs because I think they thought deans list would rub off on me. So now that I work in financial aid, maybe a million dollars will."

New to the student services office, Lisa Mason, sophomore, is basically a coordinator in charge of the daily duty sheet for the gameroom and fitness center, and organizes time slots for calendar openings.

Often students' work-study jobs develop into, or as a result of, summer jobs.

If you look around campus grounds on Wednesdays, you're sure to¡ see Mike Edmondson, sophomore, working with maintenance, doing all types of jobs, from collecting trash to fixing bunk beds.

And no you weren't crazy if you thought you saw him mowing the college's lawns while you were paying your tuition in June, because Edmondson worked for physical plant during the summer.

"I like working outside. I help Greg (Ribick) with trash and moving funiture, and Frankie (Norcini) with groundwork, blowing leaves and cutting grass .. .I like it.

I like the way they treat me."

And Hassler, who worked as a part-time aerobics instructor over the summer decided to continue teaching it this semester.

"I talked to Coleen DiRaddo about doing aerobics as part of work-study because I am going to be exercising anyway and I could fit it around my schedule."

The majority of work-study students take the money they earn and put it ' towards tuiton or special occasions.

With the money D'Amico makes she saves for tuiton and the buying of Christmas presents.

Edmondson said, "Most of the money goes towards tuition. I'd say 75 percent goes back to school."

Wishing Joy and Happiness and a Productive New Year for You and Yours.

To the Cabrini Family, Have a Wonderful Holiday Season.

See you in the New Year!!

SendingChristmascheer overseas:

.Students write cards to servicemen

by Bernadette Demski

Christmas is a time to be with the family and see the friends that your busy schedules didn't permit. But for some families gathering together in their warm home to share in the Yuletide season, someone is missing. That missing person is serving our military in some part of the world, and the closest he'll get to family and friends is reading their familiar handwriting in a Christmas card.

With this lonely picture in mind, the women of Woodcrest have taken on a special Christmas mission. About 50 women have gotten together and written, in total, about 145 letters to these servicemen who can't share the holidays with their families and friends.

Teri Ciarlante, sophomore, Woodcrest' president, said, "I found a news brief in the Loquitur about writing to servicemen, and since my best friend's brother is. in the service, I know how their family feels when he's not home at Christmas. They have a good attitude about it, but it is still not the same."

"First I went from room to room to convey to the girls what I wanted to do. I asked them if they would be interested in writing Christmas cards to the servicemen. Then I posted signs. I got a really big response. It' wasn't the same people who always do everything.

The -turn-out was very diverse," Ciarlante said.

Writing to Fort Bliss, Texas for information about letter writing, Ciarlante sa1d, "I got a pamphlet back called 'Let Your Love Show, Military Mail Call.' What I found out was that you are writing in general. You are given no names. Your l~tters could go to anyone, male or female and of any denomination. For that reason, we bought 'Holiday' cards, because the destination of your letters was virtually unknown."

"We bought the cards with our .dormmoney. Then we had a one day bash were 路 all the women wrote ... and wrote and wrote. Most of them sat in the lobby, so their efforts would be visible," Ciarlante said.

Marines in Beirut had received presents from the elementary school children, it really got me thinking. But when those Marines came back and thanked those little kids, it made me feel so good. When I

Many of the women were able to relate to the loneliness that servicemen experience during the holidays because either their The pamphlet the women received family or friends are in the service. "My included a story of a women who wrote to a brother is in the army and he's not coming serviceman who by chance was from the home for Christmas. I wrote 30 letters. You state in which she lived.

According to Ciarlante, "Next year I'd like to see it as a campus-wide function.

This year it was just a Woodcrest dorm function. These people are doing so much for our country, I couldn't think of a better way to say thank-you to them."

"I called the mother of one of my friends who is in the service and told her what we were doing. She was so moved that we had taken on such a worth-while and giving endeavor she started to cry. She wanted to give Woodcrest a huge thanks, for making Christmas a little more merry for those men and women who are working for our country on Christmas day," Ciarlante said.

What do you write to someone you don't even know? Generally, the women told the servicemen a little about themselves, what they are studying at college, and their interests. In addition, many of the women asked their mysterious readers questions, hoping to get a response letter.

"I wrote the same thing in all my letters, and in all of them I asked them to write back. I remember seeing the advertisement for the mail call in national papers, and I thought it was a great idea. Many people I graduated high school with went into the service. We had so much fun in high school. Through my letters, I want the guys overseas to maybe re-live a little of that fun. That's why I wrote 23 leters," Mary McGill, freshman said.

Cramming Christmas into one week Think that sending your "true love" 78 gifts in just 12 days is impossible?

How about cramming dances, candy cane-o-grams, dorms parties, club parties, decorating contests, movies, yule log ceremonies, special dinners - all into a mere seven days?!

With the shortened time period between Thanksgiving vacation and exam week, students who wished to celebrate with their friends in any holiday fashion needed to "fa la la la la" fairly early in the season. (photos are identified clockwise, beginning lower left. All photos by Debbie Ferrar).

Joe Giuffre and Brian Feeley, juniors, present the story of of how "Friendly the Snowman" taught an ice skater to skate again to a special audience at the annual St. Mary's Christmas party (held Dec. 2 in the mansion).

Festivalof Trees:

D1isplaydraws;thousands to mansion beauty of the Mansion, its high ceiling, allwood finish, and elegant atmosphere lent itself marvelously to the quaint look of the trees and the decorated wreaths.

~ Bernadette Demski Was there ever a Christmas tree so full of spirit and timeless imagination, that you simply could not take your eyes from it?

Perhaps your mind was entranced, just for a little while, on that one magical tree.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, 37 uniquely decorated trees, each with a holiday theme bringing a twinkle of Christmas to many an awed eye, were displayed in the college's Mansion.

The night ·of the event, Joanne McCartney, co-chairman, Festival ofTrees, said, "The trees didn't show as well in the Holiday Inn. When Sandi (McAleer, chairman) and I walked into the Mansion in January, we knew we found the home of our festival. So far it's going really well. We're hoping for literally thousands of people to walk through those doors."

And thousands of people did walk into the breathtaking land of Christmas trees.

Last year the auxiliary raised over $25,000 for the hospital and this year they hope to exceed that sum.

Called the "Festival of Trees," 37 businesses donated their prolific senses to invent the ultimate Christmas tree.

The Paoli Memorial Hospital Auxiliary_ sponsored the non-Cabrini affiliated event, providing the trees while the decorators lent their talents and imagination.

The decorated trees and wreaths were on display two weeks ago and have· since been sold and moved on to new homes, mostly local businesses. The prices of the eagerlybought trees ranged from $425 to a mere $700, depending on the size. The money raised through the selling of the trees, admission cost, and the gala opening, will go to benefit the Paoli Memorial Hospital.

Old fashioned hospitality, and the warmth of Christmas were all part of this holiday treat. The "Visions of Christmas" theme tree was decorated with miniature nativity scenes, carolers and big snowflakes, while the "Nostalgia" tree was just flowing with thick white lace ribbon, lit by gold candles.

Last year was the first time the unique "Festival of Trees" appeared. It was held at the Jloliday Inn, King of Prussia. But all the participants agreed that the timeless

Wrapped around "Jewel Tones" was a thin long crystal clear tube that went from the top to the bottom of the tree, with purple rounds of dried hydrangea in between.

Abraham & Strauss's masterpiece was called "Fantasia." Glitter and shine was used to get the fantasy effect and for

brightness, 540 white light bulbs were used. White lace, snowflakes, big silver balls and downy soft masses of white feathers made "Fantasia" a true fantasy to the eyes,

The "Visionsof Christmas'' themetree was decorated withminiaturenativity scenes,carolersand big snowflakes ...

Gerald Leisey, of Abraham & Strauss, said, "It's been a real delight; it's the first time the store has been a part of the community, The mansion is magnificent, I hope we'll be invited back."

"The Festival of Tress" also included train exhibits, antique dolls and doll houses on display, a craft boutique, and continuous entertainment, from clowns, to pianists, to ensembles, and of course Santa Claus, not to mention a raffle in which one winner received a car, and another a trip to Mexico.

Cabrini, as host of a great community effort, has literally been for the thousand or so people who saw it, a Christmas tree extravaganza.

Handy 'Day-Timers'help organize students

by Leah Cascarina Can't figure out what to buy your roommate for Christmas? Over the past few months there has been a product that has become increasingly popular on campus and just may be the answer to what you're looking for.

Some students look positively upon it, others are indifferent towards it; and still others frown at the mere mention of it.

User's of it firmly believe that it helps them get through their hectic days.

"I couldn't survive without it!" one sophomore said.

"It's been a year since I've been on it and I think it's great. Using it prepares me men. tally to get things done," said another student.

"My father has used it for almost 30 years and now he's got me hooked on it," Peggy Cirone, junior, said.

Other students, such as Brian Feeley, junior, opt not to us1eit. "I'm just too lazy to get into the habit." , What is this item that seems to bring out such a variety of reactions? It's the spiralbound "Day-timers."

The "Day-timer", manufactured by Daytimer Inc., is a compact, vinyl-covered, time-management system planner.

Cabrini is fast becoming caught up in the nation-wide "organizer" trend that has swept across the country over the past several years. Currently, hundreds of different types of datebooks are available¡, with prices range from $15 to $150, depending on how stylish and complex the system is.

Many now view it as a status symbol, depending on where one bought it. At present, Herrod's datebook is the 'creme de la creme' of daily planners.

Colleen DiRaddo, director, student activities, is an ardent supporter of the little black organizers. She even teaches a course in time-management, using the "Day-timer" as the main planner.

"It's one of the best systems I've seen for organizing time. Our life is so complex; it's a necessity," DiRaddo said.

Starter "Day-Timer" kits were distributed by DiRaddo to all Student Government Association officers, members of the resident life staff and editors of Loquitur.

The majority of them use the "Day-timer", or some other calendar-organizer/planner everyday.

Virginia Smith,)unior, is one of the most fanatical users of a time-management system on campus, carrying it every place she goes.

Twice the size of the "Day-Timer," Smith uses her "More- Time" planner as a porta-

ble desk. Filled with pages labeled such things as "Today," "Future Weeks," "Goals," and "Projects," and "Notes," the brown, three-ring, vinyl-bound binder holds not just a calendar/planner, but phone numbers, maps, stamps, and her student I.D. card as well.

"I'd be totally lost without it," Smith said. "Everything that's vital to me is there in one place, whether I'm reporting, planning a date, or writing a letter on a train."

Smith also uses her planner to envision goals. "I need to plan the outrageous things as much as the mundane 'gotta-dos.' When I write down things like "Go to Europe for Christmas," it makes that a real plan with a real deadline and I have to make plans accordingly. If I never wrote my goals down, they'd all fade away into impossible dreams."

Joe Dodds, junior, just recently began using the "Day-Timer." Dodds said, "So far, I found it lielpful. I'm geting a lot more done because I'm far more organized. Now I get up in the morning and know what I have to do."

Other students that were offered the ''Day-Timer," but chose not to use it, utilize another time-management system that suits their needs. , Megan Lamb, senior, resident assistant, uses a small desk calendar kept in open

view on her desk to keep track of her dayto-day activities.

Lamb said that the "Day-timer" was too regimented for her. "I don't have the time to constantl,Y' look at it."

There are other students, however, who choose not to. use any time-management planner.

Randy Lefko, senior, said ''I gave my "Day-timer" to Sister Julia. I can set things up in my head better then writing them down.'' Lefko also said that he hates to appear organized and goes more for the "frazzled" look.

DiRaddo said, "It takes ar least six weeks to develop a habit, but once you get the hang of it, you will be more at p~~ce with yourself and your self-esteem will be higher."

All those who used the "Day-Timer" or another planner said that their time was better organized and that they were able to get more accomplished in a 24 hour period.

Those students interested in the "DayTimer" should contact Colleen DiRaddo.

The cost of the "Day-timer" is $15.

Just hope that if you do buy your roommate a ''Day-Timer" for Christmas, she'll become so organized that not only will her own bed be made every morning, but she have the free time to make yours as well!

Cav athletes ho·noredas all-stars

by Kathy Hibbard Larry Tukis, senior, Bob Berger, senior, Sean Meenan, junior, all from the soccer team, were among the state's athletes "Honored" and "shocked" monopolized selected for the All-EPAC (Eastern Pennthe series of reactions among five Cabrini sylvania Athletic Conference) Team, while athletes selected to all-star teams this Leslie Kraska, senior and Kerry Rider, year.

freshman, both from the volley ball team, were named to the All PAIAW (Philadelphia Association oflntercollegiate Athletics for Women) Team.

"It's always an honor to receive any kind of an award in sports," Tukis said. "This year, however, it shows the depth that the team had, since three people were selected," he added.

"It's not always the goal keeper who makes the team look good. It's the defense, and I direct the defense. Without them, I really can't do anything," Tukis said.

"I was surprised when I first heard the news, Berger said. I didn't expect to get it at all. I've never received this kind of honor before, especially in the last three years since I've been -at Cabrini. It's probably been my best season, but I really didn't think I deserved it. I guess I was wrong," Berger said.

Berger continued, "The team play affected my receiving this award a great deal. A lot of people are beginning to recognize the soccer team. This year, we've had the best record in Cabrini's history, and we won the District 19."

"I felt great," Meenan said. "I was really surprised. I worked hard and put forth all

my effort this season, but I didn't expect it," he added.

"The team definitely deserves receiving such an honor. This season was the furthest Cabrini has ever gotten, and we all worked hard to accomplish that," Meenan said.

"I was really excited and surprised because all the teams we played this year were really tough," Kraska said about her volleyball all-star selection.

"I don't think I would have gotten it if it weren't for the hard work of everyone on the team. I give credit to them for helping me receive the award. I think anyone on the team could have been selected for the PAIAW. It was just a matter of some players having more experience than others. When the whole team is that good, everyone plays exceptionally," continued Kraska.

"I was shocked," Rider said. Although I'd . rate my work this season about an eight on a scale from one to ten, I didn't think I deserved it," Rider added.

"I think that the seniors gave the team a lot of support, and it improved my performance a great deal," Rider added.

Although only five were selected as all stars, all of those chosen agreed that it was definitely a team effort.

Alcohol abuse corrupts true spirit of the game

by Joan C. Kramer In Belgium, it caused actions so riotous that a stadium wall collapsed and 18 fnns were killed. At arenas and stadiums m:ross the country, its abuse will have countless fans expelled from sporting events. On the college level, its negative effects have called for regulation and additional security.

The problem, the excessive consumption of alcohol at sporting events, has become a major concern worldwide, spcci fical ly since the disaster at a Belgium soccer game when a standfull of drunken fans rushed rival spectators causing a concrete wall to collapse on them. · Closer to home, several incidents of disorderly conduct by fans were reported occuring at Veterans Stadium during the Eagles game against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Terry McKinney, vice-president ofSpecta Guard security for Veterans Stadium.

"We had no choice but to eject fans because of their drunkenness," McKinney said.

Fights .that broke out, according to McKinney, were settled in the police room.

Names ofboth parties were recorded. If the' accosted or injured party desired to press charges he or she had the right, McKinney said.

According to Jon Fris, Patrol Lieutenant, Radnor police, sports fans becoine drunken.and disorderly at college games as well. He has been at Villanova football games at which fans tossed beer cans and bottles from the stands.

"The cans and bottles narrowly missed police, football players, referees and other fans," Fris said. He also saw a fan throw a can of beer that hit a basketball player at one of the Wildcat home games at the Fieldhouse.

"It's the booze talking," said Friis. "People lose their inhibitions due to the effects of alcohol on the brain, and they become potentially injurious."

Following the Wildcat championship game against Georgetown University in March, 1985, 50 state troopers, 50 Radnor police officers and 50 Villanova security officers were on hand to maintain control over a rowdy crowd of Villanova fans who had consumed kegs of beer on Lancaster Pike. According to Officer Michael Raymond, the Lancaster Pike was shut down so that no vehicles could pass.

The police allowed the fans to party, howt\ •er, and limited the celebration to a few h~1.rs. "If we did not give the fans a chance to \ ,Jebrate the Villanova victory, we could havl had a riot on our hands," Raymond said.

Dr. "tichard Neville, vice-president of studem. life at Villanova, is the chairperson of the tailgating committee. Neville, with cooperation from the athletic and maintenance departments, Villanova security

and the Radnor police, decided to add tailgating rules and regulations to university policy.

Prior to September, 1985, Wildcat fans partied on the two parking lots parallel to Lancaster Pike across from St. Thomas Chapel and the Fieldhouse. Now that the rules have been set down, three tailgating locations for alumni and two for students are permitted by the university, Neville said. Students who wish to tailgate are given a list of mandatory rules on the alcohol policy.

According to Neville, the purposes of the tailgating rules are to keep drinking under control and to prevent hazardous conditions. A key rule adopted by the university is the stoppage of tailgating at game time.

"Previously, tailgate parties continued. during and after the game, and the amount of drinking was excessive." Neville said. A dangerous situation, according to Neville, was when intoxicated students attempted to cross Lancaster Pike on a busy afternoon following a tailgate party.

'Whenever there is a high energy crowd at sports events, the chances for improper behavior are high, and that includes drunkenness,' -Terry McKinney, vice-president, Specta Guard security, Veterans Stadium In metropolitan sports complexes fans buy beer from vendors and continue to drink such exorbitant amounts of beer that disorderly conduct results.

Veterans Stadium security guards try to limit alcohol consumption. They inspect bags, coolers, packages and parcels of fans for any traces of alcoholic beverages. There is also a family section within the stadium where no alcohol is permitted to be vended.

Carmen DiGironimo, assistant general manager of ARA Leisure Services, divisions for beverage sales at the Spectrum, said that the cut-off time for sales of beer during Flyers games is the second period, and the third period during Sixers games.

"Vendors will card at sports events if they have any doubt that a person is under 21," DiGironimo said.

McKinney said that stadium officials have been discussing cut-off times for selling beer. · "Whenever there is a high energy crowd at sports events, the chances for improper behavior are high, and that includes drunkenness," McKinney said.

Sisters share school, friends, sp~rts

by Kimberly Kovach·

Terry Mancini, women's basketball coach, calls them the "twin towers". Who are these towers? They are Peggie and Chris Federico. And not only are they sisters, but they are friends and teammates as well.

Peggie, sophomore, was not too keen on the jdea of her younger sister Chris, freshman, also choosing to continue her education at Cabrini. Now that they are both }!ere, however, they are happy about the decision. They have learned to become better friends because of this situation, the Federico sisters said.

"It's good to know that I have my sister here to turn to if something goes wrong, but it's also hard to be your own person sometimes. People make comparisons," Peggie said.

She continued, "There has always been a competition between us and not only in sports but in academics, boyfriends, and other things sisters will compete with. We are only about a year and a half apart in age."

Ever since they were young, they have been involved in sports. The influence was mainly that of their parents who have a strong interest in sports themselves. Peggie and Chris have played on the same teams ever since grade school. This year, ·they ran cross country, played field hockey and are currently on the women's basket-

Just how much one else because she knows where I will be positioned and what I will be thinking," Chris said.

"We know each others techniques and game strategies so well because we have practiced and played together for so long, said Chris. "We compliment each other and support each other on the court," said Peggie.

Off of the playing field they support each other also, both as sisters and as friends.

can we expect coaches to handle.

The athletes themselves deserve better treatment. They have worked hard to develop a winning tradition here at Cabrini, but it's that same old thing, not enough students are willing to get involved. The athletic departments are even offering work study and work grant for students who are managers.

But I have to wonder what ever happened to getting involved for 'school spirit's' sake.

So few students in this school rally around the sports teams.

I don't accept the excuse that nobody has the time. I am sure that as Dzik worked the clock that night he was probably thinking about how he doesn't have the time.

SGA has great expectations

for spring semester It's difficult to believe that the semester is finally coming to a close. The Student Government Association joins in the relief that the campus is beginning to feel with the long awaited Christmas break approaching quickly.

This past semester brought with it many issues and points of concern that the SGA Executive Board saw a need to address. In regard to lines of

communication, security efforts, the writing and revisions of club constitutions, the development of the organization's logo, the "Insights" page of Loquitur and the non- alcoholic club night, the Executive Board feels as though workhas been done, yet there is so much more to consider in the upcoming semester.

Isn't it wonderful that the second semester brings with

it that feeling of newness and a fresh beginning? It is almost as though September arrives once again in the dead of winter just when everyone needs it so desperately.

The SGA has many hopes and expectations for the second semester which, with some planning over Christmas break, should be ready to be worked into the second semester with the fresh enthusiasm that the

new semester carries with it.

The efforts of all of the members of SGA have been greatly appreciated. If it were not for the cooperation of all of the student body, especially SGA members, nothing could have been accomplished or even considered. It was certainly inspiring to see all of the enthusiasm and excitement throughout the campus concerning the various events and projects pursued

in this past fall semester.

It is the hope of the Executive Board of SGA that this Christmas season be a very happy and relaxing one for everyone. There will be another long semester awaiting your arrival back to Cabrini in January, so live it up for the next few weeks and enjoy!

Mary Kate Grimley Student Government President

Editorial Drunk Driving:

What is happening to today's society My roommate's father and brother were the victims of a tragedy, which due to the intellectual status of our society, should never have occurred.

Mr. McHale, father of Megan McHale, sophomore, was driving his son Matthew home from work last Thursday evening when a drunk driver, after running a stop sign, plowed into the side of their truck.

The truck toppled over and landed on its roof leaving James Mchale with leg and neck injuries and his son, Matthew with twelve stitches in his head. The drunk driver and his passengers, consisting of his

girlfriend and their two year old daughter, remained unharmed.

Thank God no lives were lost and Mr. McHale and Matthew did not suffer permanent injuries. This, however, did not lessen my anger.

I was extremely angry when I saw how upset and emotionally strained Megan and her family were. I was, of course, infuriated at the driver, but I realized that the individual or individuals allowing a drunk to drive are as much to blame for any tragedy that may result.

In this case, his girlfriend, by allowing him to drive, was condoning

his act of stupidity, and by doing so, was jeopardizing his life, their child's life, and the lives of many innocent people.

Has our sense of responsibility and committment to the welfare of our society, ourselves, and to our children deteriorated to such a pathetic level? Animals act more intelligently in securing their selfpreservation as well as their offspring's.

The Holiday Season is fast approaching as well as the parties that go along with it. It is safe to assume that most of these festivities

?

will include the consumption or at least the serving of alcoholic beverages. Maybe not in overabundance, but it does not take much for an individual to be considered legally drunk and for his or her response level to be significantly impaired.

-1 would hope that no one on this campus is so irresponsible as to allow themselves, their friends, or family members to drink and drive.

I am not a preacher, but merely an angered and con_cerned member of society. . by Kathy Hibbard
