Newfocus placedon budgets by Maria O'Brien There were hearings, but there was no jury, witnesses or even a judge. The people were simply there to receive money, but the task itself wasn't so simple. The S.G.A. budget hearings are meetings designed to allot money to the 18 active S.G.A. affiliated campus clubs for their use during the semester. Club budgets come from the overall S.G.A. budget, which is approximately $15,000 per year. This money is distributed among campus clubs, social activities and ideas of the student activities office. Campus clubs, however, are the top priority for monetary allotment. This year. S.G.A. took a different approach to the budget hearings. "Vle allocated a lot ofmonev last vear and so many of the clubs over-estimated their budget needs.'' Kate Grimley. senior, president, S.G.A., said. "The new structure was established this year because of the mayhem of last year's budget hearings." S.G.A.'s main goal was to make the tone of the budget hearings peaceful and relaxed, but thev also had other ideas. "We were subtly urging the clubs to set goals for themselves by asking them to verbalize their needs to us in the budget hearings," Lisa Nolan, senior, S.G.A. treasurer, said. "We were trying to dissuade clubs from not using their semester's budget and spending it all on an unworthy cause at the end," Nolan said. The S.G.A. budget hearing committee members were Brian Feeley, senior, social activities coordinator; Kathy Funk, junior, S.G.A. vice-president; Ruthie Brown, senior class vice- president; Kevin Corcoran, junior class vice-president and Mike Charvala, sophomore class vice-president. The committee reviewed the club's financial status, activities, attendance, level of involvement and the budget request form. By considering each club's past and present needs, S.G.A. was able to allot a budget to each club. "I was impressed with the clubs responsibility. The majority came well-prepared with planned activities, trips and estimated costs," Nolan said. The Council for Exceptional Children (C.E.C.} requested a budge~ of $240 and they received it. "We went into the hearing as an established club with well- prepared activities. We were fairly judged," Teri Ciarlante, junior, president, C.E.C., said. "We can always use more money, but for our activities, it was enough." The English/communications club asked for a $125 budget. "I was very meticulous about our list of activities and financial need," Jeanne Reinberg,junior, president, English/communications club. Because there was misuse oflast year's budget, I felt S.G.A. may have been hesitant about giving us the full $125." "The minimum I thought we needed was $125, but we got $100," Reineberg said. ''We'll try to supplement that money with fundraisers for'the betterment of the club." The psychology club requested a $200 budget, but only received $100. "We got the money that we needed, but ifwe need more, we'll fundraise," Peter Rudegeair, sophomore, president, psychology club, said. "If. . you're creative and think offundraising as positive, it can unify the club." "The goal for every club is that they become active and self-sufficient," Grimley said. "Campus Sound is a club that has done this." Campus Sound did not request a budget for this semester. "We didn't need a budget because we have enough money left from last year to function without assistance," Donna Capone, senior, president, Campus Sound, said.

Minoritystudents:
Copingwiththe majority by Yvette Ousley It is 1963. Amid the Kennedy assassina-
tion, the civil rights marches and protests and the first woman going into space, the first black person, Harriet Sistrunk, enters Cabrini. Initially, her peers think that she is a foreign exchange student but soon learn that she is from South Philadelphia. . Her experience at Cabrini is very positive because her peers are interested in learning about her and she about them. "I never knew just how much my friends cared about me until my senior year," Sistrunk said. "The senior class went to Virginia to a classmate's funeral and I was not permitted in a motel because I was black. As a result, my classmates refused to stay because I was not permitted." In 1986 black students in predominantly white colleges face a series of challenges and some face many obstacles. They will have to grow accustomed to an atmosphere where their presence is very noticeable because they are in the minority. One of the challenges that black students may have to face is racial attitudes which may stem from prejudices and fears that they have about white students or prejudices and fears that their white peers may have about them. But, perhaps the greatest challenge is overcoming the fear that some black students are confronted with upon entering a college campus in September and not seeing st_udents like themselves. LaTonya Lucas, sophomore, said that at freshmen pre- registration she met Samantha Hidlebird, sophomore, so she was not worried about finding a black person to socialize with in September.
"However," she said, "when I arrived in September and didn't see her, I panicked." Lucas said that she was relieved when she found Hidlebird. LaRenda Skipwith, freshman, was the only black female resident to enter Cabrini with the class of 1990. Skipwith said she has friends, she is never excluded and she is never made to feel different from her peers. She did, however, say that she is not completely at ease among other black students. "I am not completely comfortable here because I have not yet gained acceptance by 'my own people,"' she said. Skipwith said that as a freshmen, identifying with other black students is ver_y important to her. Lisa Wilson, a junior at Goucher College in Maryland, said she experienied a feeling similar to Lucas'. "It literally took me a few days to find other black students," she said. "I didn't think that anyone would like me, because I was black," Lucas said, "so I shied away from everyone." According to Dr. M. L. Corbin Sicoli, coordinator of psychological services, black students on predominantly white cam• puses may tend to alienate themselves out of a fear of rejection¡ because they are different. "They (black students} may feel very tense and put up their guard because they think people are watching them," she said.
Fbr the black athlete, college adjustment is very different from that of the black non-athlete. Karl Sartor, senior, said adjustment is easier for black athletes because people accept them as people who are bringing something to the college.
Basketball season has not yet started, but James Hillyard; freshmen, basketball player, said that he is very popular and has had no problems adapting to college life or his peers. "When I came in, I was introduced to popular seniors and I met people through them," he said. Eric Quick, junior, said that it is tough not being an athlete because he is not accepted by some athletes. "In my freshmen year, I got flack because I didn't go out for a team," he said. "I think that they (black athletes) feel that I am different. I did not come to college for athletics."
'I didn't think that anyone 'NOuldlike me becauseI was black, so I shiedaway from everyone.' -LaTonya Lucas, sophomore "If you're black and you're not a basketball player," Sartor said, "then you're sort of like an outcast because black men are brought here (Cabrini) for athletics." Pre-conceived ideas, misgivings and misinformation are the reasons why racial prejudice exists among people. Racial attitudes among black and white college students in particular, vary in degrees depending on the size and location of the college and the backgrounds of the . students attending the college.

·Racism:a complicated Experiencing the best issueeven at Cabrini· of bothworlds No matter who you are, you are going to want to identify yourself with people similar to you. However, finding your way toward the acceptance of other people may be hard to come by; especially if you are a black student attending a predominantly white college. Racism is not scientifically supported, but claims that by race, we are different. In comparison, blacks and whites are supposedly different in character, intelligence, athletic ability, language and lifestyles. Are these comparisons factual or stereotypical? Each one of us could answer that question differently. Racism is a complicated issue. It is evident in high schools, colleges, and professions all around the world, and Cabrini is not excluded. Consciously or unconsciously, students, professors, and faculty here at Cabrini are all a part of this type of thinking - some of it is called prejudice. Wehave very few black students on campus and very many white students. Sure some black students will feel intimidated and it will take them longer to ajust before they become comfortable, but who, if anyone, is at fault? When any of us enter something new, we try to orient ourselves, find out niche, and then continue to do what we please by holding on to our identity. But what if we are black and we cannot find our identity? Perhaps Cabrini needs more black role models. This college has only one black faculty member and no black professors either full or part-time. The least the rest of this college could do is respect their colleagues. It doesn't really matter what color anyone is to determine how to treat someone. We are all attending this college for our education, not to discover our racial attitudes.
Unconsciousprejudice unveiled by student by Rachel Athelia Anderson "You're ok for a black girl." Does this statement strike you as prejudice? "I'm not prejudiced but I wouldn't date. a black person. " These commonly heard statements are evidence of what I call unconscious prejudice.
>
Unconscious prejudice is harboring prejudiced feelings without even realizing it. Many people are guilty of this fault. Frank1y, I think it is rather humorous to converse with a prejudiced individual who believes that he/she is free of prejudice. Yet that person will calmly admit that he/she wouldn't marry a black person. When questioned, he/she might reply that "it just isn't right!" Then a typical explanation of such a statement would begin, "but don't get the idea that I'm prejudiced. I was brought up to believe that black people are almost as good as me. I just think that they should stay with their own kind." A classic example of a person who is a victim of unconscious prejudice is one who may think he/she is devoid of prejudice yet will recite a racist joke at a social gathering. Usually if the race butt of the joke is represented, the so-called comedian will interject with, "Oh! But no offense to you." Or something even more foolish like, "although that was about Blacks. you have to admit that orie was funny!" An annoying grin and a slap to the knee might follow such a foolish statement. I wish those comedians would take time to think before they speak. If my race has just been ridiculed, why would I possibly think that was funny? Sometimes when I think of those individuals who harbor prejudiced feelings, I wonder about their parents. Prejudiced feelings are usually taught by t_b,eparents. A. child will naturally :~ ace~ his pc.rent's values. That is the most logical place for them to be acquired because the child certainly isn't born with any prejudices. He doesn't know the difference between black or white, nor does he care.
Judith D.R. Porter, author of "Black Child, White Child", summarized it best when she said, "Topics beyond his comprehension leave him no alternative but to internalize the values of others". This explains why some children might be prejudice, but by the time people reach adulthood, I would imagine that with age they would gain a little wisdom. I think some adults remain prejudiced because they delight in maintaining what they think is a racial advantage. To these individuals, putting down another race makes their own race and themselves appear elevated. Or perhaps those who possess a great desire to appear superior are unconscio1:1slyblaming others when they fail. Another possible cause of unconscious prejudice might stem from a person's lack of pride. People without pride in themselves might try and belittle others so they in turn will lose pride. Unconscious prejudiced feelings are many times demonstrated toward another race without knowledge of the fault. So, in esence, an individual can be prejudiced without even realizing it. But the point is arguable. Is unconscious prejudice just a facade for people who don't want to admit to others that they are, in fact,just plain prejudiced? Do they perhaps, in their innersel ves, admit to their prejudiced feelings? Or is it truly an unconscious fault?
In issue 8. Dr. Jolyon Girard's name was misspelled in the "What do you think" column. We regret this mistake.
While sitting in a traffic jam on the Blue Route the other morning, I asked myself, not for the first time, why I did this to mysel( Why did I insist on putting myself through the morning rush Monday through Friday, when it would be so much easier to simply roll out of bed at 8:15, walk a few yards, and still be in class on time? Why did I choose to commute? Life as a resident never looks so good as it does at 6:30 a.m., when I must get up in order to make it to my 8:30 class at 8:30; oh, to be able to sleep that extra hour and a half. But reality jolts me from my dreams as an irrate motorist blasts his horn at me. (I had not moved up my allotted two feet as I sat in the daily morning back-up on Route 476.)
Finisl:iing my 8:30 class, I now must decide what to do and where to go for the next three hours, until my 12:50 class. I try not to listen to conversations among my resident friends, as they mumble, barely awake, "I'm going back to bed, see you at 2:10." Why did I ever decide to commute to a school 35 minutes from my nice, warm bed. Thinking of how much smarter and more prepared for class I would be, I head to the library. My good intentions don't last too long, however. Overhearing residents discuss che wild party in House 7 the night before, I decide to go to the WigWam, to see and talk to my fellow commuters. Late that evening, after finishing another long night in the newsroom, I ask myself, as I get into my cold car and drive
katewelsh those 35 long, tiring minutes home, why I decided not to live on campus? Exhausted, I stagger into the house, overloaded with books and papers, and my answer to my question hits me in the face, literally. Heidi, my German Shepherd, attacks me before I can get my key out of the door. Although I often yell at her for knocking my books all over the floor, I can't help but smile at her as she wags her tail and licks me all over. How could I stay angry at a dog who greets me as if she hasn't seen me in years, every day. I then move inttr~he kitchen, where my mom has my dinner already made and on the table for me. Mom's home-cooked meals taste so much better than a cold sandwich. Retreating to my own room, I turn on the TV or pick up a book. relax, forget about school, for at least five minutes, and I realize. not for the first time, that I'm glad that I chose to commute. Yes. I miss out on the spontaneous parties and late- night meetings, but I do get home-cooked meals and a chance to get away from school. It all balances out in the end.
Generalizations 'not justified'by student Dear Editor: I could not read your Viewpoint article titled "College students lack courage?" without feeling that you had not done your research on the subject. Your reactions to Abbie Hoffman's statement as thev apply to your generation are understandable, but th~'t does not justify your generalization of the 60's as "a time of constant turmoil," "protests were common," "a period of upheaval," etc. If you would take the time to talk to some of us "ancient protestors" you might understand whv there was a civil rights movement, what the Peace Corps was all about, what is non-violent protest, and why there now is a War Powers Act. You might also like to know about people like Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, Mayor Daley, Nelson Mandella, and yes, even Malcom X. If you don't care to do this kind of research, then people like myself who were imprisoned in Mississippi and South Africa because we believe that all people have the same rights that you have, will always remain just radical revolutionaries.

TerryNeilio:
Outstanding senior by Patricia Brown Following the rush of people into her room, it is very easy to imagine that there is a swinging door which never stops. Posted along the wall are a mish-mash of cards, notes, a Madonna calendar and a portrait of she and her brother. Her bed is covered with a variety of stuffed animals, who look on to the cluttered desk, which she tries to pass off as her roommate's. She is Terry Neilio.
She also participates in intramural vol~ leyball, playing for the Juniors for Seniors cause. So with classes, studying, meetings and sports, does Neilio have time to greet the crowd that rushes in and out of her room? Michele Pasquarello, senior, thinks so. "Terry knows when to work and when to have fun," Pasquarello said. "She's a very good friend. She's always there when I need to talk to her." Pasquarello tried to capture Neilio in one word. "She's supercalafrajulisticepialidotious. She's a lot of different things," she said. Neilio's roommate, Teri McNulty, senior, agrees with Pasquarello. "She's not what you see on the surface," McNulty said. "When I first met Terry, she showed me her black leather jacket, a pair of black leather boots and a picture of her standing by her motorcycle. I didn't think we'd get along, but she is a lot sweeter than the tough guy image that she projects."
Terry Neilio, senior (photo by Michelle Pasquarello Neilio has a double major of computer science and math, with a minor in business administration, both of which keeps her busy. However,this was not her first choice. "I wanted to be a beautician, but my father talked me out ofit," Neilio said. "My parents were pushing for college." Now Neilio looks forward to working in a large computer firm after she graduates in May. "Some day I want to be a boss," she said. "Next I'll have my own business." When she is not in class or studying, Neilio might be found planning an event for the college. She is the social activities assistant on the Student Government Association executive board. In this role, Neilio helps in the planning and implementation of dances, social activities and the Cabrini nightclub "Tuesdays."
Neilio is concerned about the lack of student attendance at events. "I think it is the morale on campus," she said. "We (SGA) don't know what to do.'We don't know why or how." Softball is another of Neilio's passions. She has been the first-string, first baseman for Cabrini's softball team for the past three years.

Templestudents:
Survivingthe strike by Beth Ann Bittner On Tues., Oct. 28, the students of Temple University returned to their classes as scheduled. The faculty strike that lasted 19 days was finally over. "Everyone appeared very happy to be back," Lori Williams, senior, Temple University, said. "There were smiles everywhere.'' However, were these smiles that pervaded the Temple campus a front put up to hide disappointment and frustration? John Mackler, junior, Temple University, said, '½.t first I was all for the teachers, but when I found out that some of the teachers striking really didn't have a need to strike, I was very disgusted." Although Lisa Seipp, senior, Temple University, was able to attend most of her classes during the strike, she found it (the strike) "ridiculous.'' "It was so confusing," she said. "Some teachers striked and others didn't. You didn't know which classes you could go to.'' For James Hedtke, professor; history and political science, Cabrini College, who was to take his doctoral comprehensive examinations during the strike, it was "personally disappointing.'' "I was prepared to take my first test and then I wasn't able to take it," he said. "It really disturbed my rhythm of studying." According to Mackler, the major concern on the part of students was what was going to be done if the semester had been "washed out.'' "If! wasn't so far along in my education, I wouldn't have thought twice about transferring," Mackler said. Beth Connolly, junior, Cabrini College, said, "I think that the strike was out-of-hand and really unfair, especially for those seniors that are looking forward to graduation in the spring.'' Carter Craigie, professor, English/communications, said, "I think this strike just proves how low of a priority the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has toward education." Craigie feels that the teachers at Temple have probably felt underpaid for so long, that the only resolution they saw was to strike. "That it failed just proves my statement," he said.
"She sleeps with Dugan," McNulty said, "her stuffed dog. That is a contrast to the tough guy image." An important part of Neilio's life is the need to be acknowledged for her intelligence instead ofjust a pretty face or as a jock. This need brought her to an important choice. Neilio had applied to other colleges such as Rider. "They told me I wasn't accepted," Neilio said, "then their softball coach came to see me. By the next week, I knew I would have a free ride to Rider. I don't think that's right," she said. "I saw Cabrini as a challenge. They didn't offer me a sports scholarship. They took me because ofmy grades," Neilio said. "If I had to do it all over again, I would still come to Cabrini," Neilio said. "I've enjoyed it here. I've made friends. The school, scholastic-wise, is very good." Choosing Cabrini brought Neilio away from her family in Brooklawn, N.J .. She doesn't mind the change, however. "You grow away from your parents. I learned a lot by being on my own. I'm glad I did live away," she said. "My parents thought it would be better for me to live away, to grow." "I think it was really selfish and stupid on the part of the administrators and the Looking up at the portrait of she and her faculty," Maria Cassidy, transfer student, Cabrini College, said. "What would they have brother, Neilio done if the semester had been washed out?" said, "He's sick of hearing, 'you're Terry's According to Hedtke, the teachers were happy to b.. back md teaching but that there was little brother.' I'm the better athlete. He still a lot of tension that existed between the administration and the faculty . feels like he has to prove himself" "I feel terribly sorry for the students, the teachers and their families," Craigie said.

Rachel Anderson, sophomore, said that MINORITYfrom1 she did not do as well in school first semester because she was not comfortable.
"When I came to Cabrini, I thought that because my peers were white, that they were automatically smarter than I was," Lucas said. Lucas, who is from Philadelphia, said that she thought her white peers were smarter because whites typically attend better schools than blacks. Therefore, she thinks they are better educated. Chris Smith, senior, is from a small town known as Greencastle, Pa. Smith said that he was taught to never trust anyone who did not look like he did. "In my town," he said, " we were taught never trust a 'nigger,' because he'll steal your wallet in a second." . . Smith said he is no longer preJudice against blacks. After attendi_ng Hagerstown Junior College and running on the same team with three black men, Smith. said that he became friends with them and was no longer distrustful of blacks. Dave Febbo, senior, a white transfer student from LaSalle University, said that· he has never had any prejudices against anyone. . "Basically, I think that people either become friends because their personalities blend or they don't," he said. "In my high school, some black people were nice," Wendy Scott, freshman, Cabrini, said, "while if you looked at others they would react by saying, 'don't you start with me."' Though Scott said some of her friends had bad experiences with some blacks in high school, she said she does not base her judgement of all blacks on the actions of a few.
"I did not feel intimidated by my peers because I had gone to school with white students all my life," Hidlebird said. "I soon realized, however, that some students (at Cabrini) would make my race an issue." At Cabrini, some black students said that they didn't encounter overt prejudice. However,they did notice some insensitivity on the part of a few students. "Every time a subject concerning black history was brought up in history," Lisa Mason, junior, said, "my professor would always call on me. I felt like I was expected to be an authority on the subject because I was black," she said. • Fredia Gibbs, senior, said she detected that her roommate freshmen year would scrub down the tub whenever Gibbs finished using it. "Finally, I told her that she was no better than I was," Gibbs said.
Many black students said that they did better in their second semesters at college because they had become more comfortable. Many also said that racial attitudes motivated them to want to excel rather than stunt their growth.

"My own attitudes and fears played a major role in my discomfort," sh: said. According to Anderson, she did not do well first semester freshmen year because she was having problems with her two roommates, who were white.

Supportgroup:
Studentscope with loss by Beth Ann Bittner Death and terminal illness is a reality that many students find hard to deal with until they come in contact with it. Those who have lost a loved one or who have watched or are watching someone close to them struggle with a terminal illness, often find it difficult to cope with the situation. "When my mother was sick in my freshman year,'' Betty Hogan, senior, said, "I remember often wandering if anyone understood what I was going throug~." _ According to Hogan, losing someone close to the heart or having that helpless feelmg while they are sick is one of the loneliest and emptiest feelings.
'When my motherwas sick in my freshmanyear,I rememberoften wanderingif anyoneunderstood what I was going through.' -Betty Hogan,senior Hogan said that if it hadn't been for Sr. Christine Marie Baltas, previous dean of students, and Mary Ellen Lilly, director, resident life, she really doesn't know where she'd be today. "It is really important to have someone to talk to that can easily relate to your problem," Hogan said. Because of her experiences, Hogan is attempting to start a support group with the help of Lilly and Dr. M. L. Corbin Sicoli, coordinator, psychological services. "I want people to know that they're not alone," Hogan said. "l want them to know that there are people out there that do understand and that they really do care enough to listen." According to Sicoli, although she is directly involved with the establishment of this support group, once under way, it will be under the direction of Steve Newman, intern, clinical psychology. "It is good for people to get together and share their feelings,'' Newman said. While the group has not yet formally started, Hogan, Newman and Sicoli encourage all students who have experienced this kind of loss to come and talk to them.

Both men believe that they should be the breadwinners in the family, and that their wives should stay home and take care of the house and the children. "I don't want my kids to be latch-key kids," Pulos said. "Besides, the wife can take better care of them." Freshman Krista DiLauro expects to combine both a family and a career. "I picked my major, education, so I could take care ofmy family and my house while I maintain a teaching career," DiLauro said. "I want to be there when my kids come home." "I want my spouse to be someone I can share things with, someone I can trust," DiLauro said, "basically be my best friend." DiLauro said that she would like her marriage to be like her parents is. She also thinks that there is definitely one person out there just for her. "I couldn't handle it if my wife made more than I did. I want to be the provider," Jim Donnelly, junior, said. Donnelly also said that he wants a traditional marriage with eight children, but if things were to get tight financially, he would get a second job before allowing his wife to have a serious career.

"Women are pushing for too much, too soon," Donnelly said. Jim Winters, sophomore, has totally different views. Winters, who wants to marry around the age of 28 and have at least three children, said that he would prefer it if his wife had and maintained a career. According to Winters his ideal mate will be honest, devoted and independent. He said he'll "know true love when it comes along." Winters said his future wife should be willing to work with him to make the marriage work. "I want to build a future with a girl right from the start," he said. "Marriage?" Joe Dodds,junior, said. "Ha ha ha ... I don't think anybody should get married until they're financially stable," he said. "When I get married, it will be to the person I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"lfl _feltth at way," Dodds said, "I'd be preve~tmg her from reaching h~r potential. Wed always be there for the kids (he hopes for five or six) just like my parents were." Laura Sullivan, senior, agrees. "You get rewards from marriage that you don't get from anything else," she said, "but you both have to be willing to work for it. There are no guarantees." Sullivan also said that parental approval is very important to her. "My parents only want the best for me and to see me happy," she said, "so, if they seriously questioned my choice, I'd think twice."
'I believethat there is somebodyfor me out there but he accidentallygot killed.' -Laura Sullivan,senior Not currently searching for "Mr. Right," Sullivan said, "I believe that there is somebody for me out there but he accidentally got killed." If she ever does find him, she said that she would have to be very sure before she made the trip down the aisle.
What kind of girl would Brian Fitzpatrick, senior, like to marry? "Ifmy mom wasn't related to me and she was 30 years younger, I'd marry her," he said. Fitzpatrick said his wife "will need a sense of humor, be my friend and cook, because I can't."
'If my mom wasn't relatedto me and she was 30 years youngerJ'd marry her.' -Brian Fitzpatrick,senior When told that every 1 out of2 marriages ends in divorce, Fitzpatrick replied, "fll be the other one."
"I'll make the right choice or I'll be a statistic," Andy Spence, sophomore, said. Although he hasn't come across the woman he'd like to marry, he does have a good idea of what she shoul'd be like. Marlena Evans Brady, a character on a soap opera is his choice. "She has her own career but her priorities are with her children and her husband," Spence said, "and ifthere was ever a problem with her family she'd be there for them." Like most students on campus right now Spence "is dating for the present." "I'm just testing the waters for the future," he said.
DeltaDj's:
Playingit their way by Leah Cascarina
A new disc jockey group recently formed on the block who plan to give the established campus DJ's, Campus Sound, a run for their money. These DJ's, known as the Delta DJ's boast low prices, high energy and a variety of music, while insisting that they are basically just in it for a good time. So why start a new disc jockey group on campus? "Peop1earound us wanted something different from the usual music supplied by the school," Bruce Kidwell, sophomore, said. "Students came down to our room and saw our equipment, liked the music we played, and suggested that we form a disc jockey group." After going to a few dances and listening to Campus Sound, Kidwell and fellow DJ, Gerard Gannon, sophomore, thought that they could do a better job for a cheaper price. Formed in September, the DJ's came up with their name while listening to their "Animal House" soundtrack. Other members of the group in charge of the equipment are sophomores Paul Fallon, Joel Zazyczny and Mike Cutlick. Gannon described the kind of music they play as "high- energy" dance music. Their collection includes new wave, funk, oldies and pop rock. "We try to go with whatever the crowd wants," Kidwell said. He added that the trend seems to be toward music played at night spots in New York City and local clubs such as Pulsations. "From what we've heard, people want to hear more of a variety of danceable songs," Kidwell said. "We have more upbeat music and are more in tune to what the campus wants to hear." "We choose our music by going to a couple of record stores where they tell us what's going to be really hot," Gannon said. Gannon added that the group gets its records from stores in Philadelphia that receive records from the New York distributors. who determine what is going to be a hit. Delta has a contract with an undisclosed store in Philadelphia that lets them know which :\ongs are·going to be hits and gives them tlie same discount on records as the area nights clubs receive.
"We get the records before people even hear them on the radio," Kidwell said. Concerning their equipment, the DJ's described it as being up-to-date and more technologically advanced than Campus Sound's. "Wemay not have all the equipment that Campus Sound has," Kidwell said, "but our sound speaks for itself." The DJ's said that campus response has been strong. "Things started off really fast," Kidwell said, ''because people heard of the different types of music we play as well as our high degree of quality at a price that will beat any competition." So far the DJ's have done Cabrini's bowling night, house parties and the soccer game over Parents Weekend. They also have a contract to do the next Tuesday's (Cabrini's non-alcoholic pub) held Nov. 11. "I thought that they were very good and they played a nice mix of what we wanted to hear," Allison Schaefer, senior, said. "They were very flexible and open to suggestions and requests. I would definitely have them back again." "There were no contracts involved when they played at o,ur house party," she said,
1
"just a verbal agreement, which made them very flexible and easy to deal with." "Not running it like a business really showed that they are just doing it for fun," Eileen Zebrowski, junior, said. According to Gannon, their calendar is almost booked up for the semester and they already have gigs lined up for next semester. In regards to their controversial advertising concerning what was believed by many to be mud-slinging at Campus Sound, Delta DJ's said that the sarcastic advertisment had a purpose. "Wewere aggravated with everyone associating us with Campus Sound and we had to try to distinguish ourselves from them in some way," Kidwell said.
In regard to people who may not like their "high-energy" sounds, Gannon said, "We try to play a variety, but we go mostly with what the majority wants to hear. Everyone is going to have different tastes. Wetry to ask what they would like to hear, so we know what kind of records to bring before hand." In regard to their future, the Delta DJ's don't seem to have any set plans. "We're just doing it for the heck of it," Kidwell said. "We're not looking for a permanent group. Right now we're just looking to have fun and make a little money for our koolaide parties." At present, the group's main objective is to offer good competition to Campus Sound.
Gannon described the advertising as a "gimmick" for promotional purposes. The DJ's did believe, however, that thev may have come off a little harsher thai'i expected. "It's no big deal," Kidwell said. "We meant no harm by it. I see it as healthy competition. It's putting them to a test that, based on the response we have had already, I think we'll win."
"Right now we're making a little and waiting to see what happens to Campus Sound in the future." Kidwell said. "For now we'll just let the campus decide. We wish Campus Sound the best of luck, but we're still the ones to beat."

The Cabrini soccer team made a clean sweep last week as they achieved two important goals. Not only did the Cavs come up victorious in a history making win to become Eastern States Athletic Conference champs, but they also established themselves as the winners of District 19. On Sat., Nov. 15. the Cavs will meet Saint Vincent's College in the Area 10 championships, which will be held at Cabrini at 1 p.m. At dinner, Mon. Nov.3. the soccer players sat together discussing the day's practice and Tuesday's game against Salisbury State College of Maryland. The team spoke with confidence about practice and good humor about the celebrating that would be done on Tuesday night. "Practice went well," Sean Meenan. captain, said. "Today we definitely looked ready." "We want to win it because we have never won ESAC. and we want to win it for the seniors." Brian Doherty. freshman, said. Mike Hendrick. newly appointed assistant coach, said that he believed the team was prepared for the game on Tuesday. As the day of the ESAC championship game broke, so did the rain clouds. The overcast skies brought with them the possiQ.ility of a cancellation and skepticism from the players. "I want to play today," John Berenato, senior, said. "but if we don't, it won't have any effect on the game Thursday (the District 19 championship)." The game, however, was not cancelled and the Salisbury State soccer team arrived about 1:00 p.m. and made their way for the locker rooms dressed in their traveling finery. "I think we're going to win," Michael Pirkey, senior. Salisbury soccer player,· said. "We had a good weekend at a tournament in North Carolina." In North Carolina, Salisbury played North Carolina Wesleyan College. ranked 19th in the nation. Salisbury lost 2-0 to Wesleyan, but kept them from getting a national bid. "Come on guys, let's get moving out there!" Meenan shouted as the team went through their drills. Balls were being kicked from all directions as Marty McGonigle, sophomore, warmed up in goal. On the sideline. coach John Dzik peered from under the brim of his cap at Salisbury's team members. Cabrini dominated the first three minutes of the game pushing all play down into Salisbury's half of the field. Even though the field conditions were poor, Cabrini held strong and Salisbury had to fight to bring the ball toward Cabrinis goal. As if at a tennis match, the crowd had to follow the mud-covered soccer ball as it moved between the player's feet to either end of the field. The only score of the first half came after a controversial disallowed goal by Charlie Dodds, semor. According to the officials, Dodds committed a "jumping in" violation and interfered with the Salisbury goalkeeper's space. However, one minute later 141:47J, Dodds scored the game's first goal
Amid the sideline back-patting and congratulations, the Salisbury coach angrily contested that the field was not regulation size. According to Pirkey. Cabrini's field is under regulation size and the visiting team should have been notified in advance. "It's up to the conference to tell Salisbury about the regulation size of the field." Dzik said, "and I'm not the conference." With a season record of 10-3-2, Cabrini looked forward to the District 19 championship game on Thursday, Nov. 6 against Allentown College on Eastern College's regulation size field. Thursday came and went without a soccer game. According to Dzik, Eastern College said that the field conditions were poor and rescheduled the game for Friday, Nov. 7 at 2:00 p.m. There was singing in the locker room as 18 of the 20 Cavs suited up and proceeded to load the vans waiting outside under the overcast skies on the cold Fridav.

2:30, Kodluk had placed another ball in the net making the score 5-0. "Gimme a C ...gimme an A..." shouted the cheerleaders to the crowd. "Keep the pressure on them just like in practice." Hendrick yelled to the players. "Basil. Iggy. We want Hash,'' came up from the crowd. Allentown's Chris Turner with 9:12 left in the game placed their first goal on the scoreboard. At the 42:20 mark Tim Morgan, freshman, came in as goalie for Cabrini and McGonigle left the field to the chants of "Marty, Marty." As the final seconds ticked away, embracing began on Cabrini's half of the field. Cabrini became the District 19 champs with a score of 5- 1. "We played very well," Berenato said after the game. "We owed these guys from two years ago when they beat us. If we keep playing like we have been for the last three games, we hope to be national champs."

With time running out, Cabrini held the 4-2 victory to the anticipation of the crowd. "It was money time and we came up big,'' Dodds said. "Who says we can't do it?" Kodluk said. Dzik believed that all the team members contributed to the victory, but his "player of the game" would have been Joe Klimek. "He dominated the midfield," Dzik said. Dzik continued, "The team did a nice job. Mike <Hendrick) made some adjustments offensively and defensively and the players were able to execute that ..,

Dzik, adorning his ever-present baseball cap, knelt intently, yelling "Watchhim running," to a Cav on the field. At 17:25 shouts of"Let's go Ricky" rang through the air as Eric Ehresman, junior, set up for a penalty shot which he slipped past the Allentown goalie. Within the next
"All my goals are fulfilled," Dodds said. Despite the dismissal of Cabrini coach Tom Salmon, the soccer team was able to carry on a winning attitude with the assistance of Dzik. "I think the change in coaches had an effect on our play," • Berenato said. "I feel Dzik brought the discipline to the team that we needed. When it's time to get serious, he is very serious."
"Having coach Dzik has given us a psychological lift," Kilcullen said. "Dzik has a better attitude and a lot more enthusiasm," Kevin O'Donnell, senior, said.

Men'scrosscountryteamawaits nationalmeet¡ by Karen Siegl
Tomorrow, Nov. 15, the men's cross country team will be flying to the University of Wisconsin to compete in Nationals for the fourth time. Thirty-seven teams will be competing. ¡ The goals for the team are high. Their objective is to place in the top 25. Tom O'Hora, coach, is aware of the tough competition the team will face. "The competition at NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) is intense. The teams are beyond the realm of our spector. We'll be the smallest school there." Mike Feeley, freshman, is looking forward to the meet. "I think it'll be a thrill to run with people from all parts of the nation and let them know who Cabrini is. Hopefully, Nationals will be the highlight of the season." John Donahue, junior, believes that the team is fully prepared for the race. "I expect that we're going to run well. I don't think we could be any more ready or prepared for the race." Paul Magalon, sophomore, said that he is definitely ready to go to Nationals a'nd run against the whole nation in Kansas. Mental and physical preparation are a prime concern before Nationals. "The attitude makes a difference. The main thing for this meet is going in relaxed and confident," Magalon said.
Magalon continued to stress the importance of concentration. "You run against the top runners in the nation. Seventy-five percent is mental, and if you get the mental part then training can only help." The team and coach are comfortable and confident with each other. "We are really pleased with coach. He did a great job this year preparing us and deserves a lot of credit," Donahue said. Feeley said, "This coach is probably the best I've ever had. He's one of the guys and really down to earth and has a lot of confidence in the team." After beating a consistently tough opponent at the Eastern States Athletic Conference, the cross country team knew its potential. Feeley said, "Once we upset Frostburg, we knew how good we were and what type of team we had." The success at ESAC led the team to District 19 competition. The cross country team was favored to win at Districts. "Because of the extra pressure ofbeing expected to win, you don't want to let people down, nor yourself," Magalon said. "District 19 is to qualify for the National meet and only the winning team goes," he said. O'Hora viewed the District 19 competition more lightly than ESAC or Nationals because of the lack of challenge. ''Districts has deteriorated. It's not as tough a race _as it used to be," O'Hora said.

Atrafacilitiesremainvirtuallyunused by Kathleen McCabe
Raisch thinks that the program at Cabrini only needs a year to get the ball rolling, as it did at Villanova.
ATRA, the athletic training research facility, has $160,000 of Nautilus equipment, trainers to instruct and record progress, and is inexpensive compared to other fitness centers. Why then is the facility going virtually unused?
Raisch said, ''The students thought that only jocks used it but when they tried it they stayed and told their friends."
Lack of communication is one reason dted by owner, Peter Halsch. Halsch said that this problem was also encountered when the facility was introduced to Villanova six years ago. The facility has since been expanded due to the need for more room and is located in Villanova's new field house. It presently has 800 members.
Raisch also stressed the fact that people need to be educated as to what ATRA actually is. "We just have to educate people, especially women, that it's a very effective system," Ralch said. ''By system I don't mean just the equipment, I mean the trainers." Six trainers are on staff to teach people how to use the machines and keep records of their progress.
Cabrini's membership is drastically lower than that of Villanova. One typical example given by Alicia Crafts, employee, was that five girls bought full memberships and never returned.
Intimidation is also a factor that has to be dealt with before it can be a success. Halsch said, "I think people are intimidated by the place. They instantly draw a picture in their heads without checking it out first."
Because of the lack of participation by students, they have had to lay off many trainers.
To counteract this problem Raisch and his staff will be more than willing to give a free workout to anyone who is interested to introduce them to the system.
According to John Dzik, director of athletics, more aggressive promotion is needed. ''They have to do more to market it to the student body and the surrounding community," Dzik said. This has been done with little or no results. Lee Summers, manager, has gone to Eastern College and Valley Fbrge Military Academy to promote ATRA, but students still aren't sold. The rivalry between Eastern and Cabrini has been given as a reason for Eastern's reluctance, and Valley Fbrge students are discouraged from coming on Cabrini's campus by their college officials.
To attract more of the surrounding community they may start to give out booster memberships that will benefit the college's athletic program, employee, Alicia Crafts said.
ATRA may also be introduced as a physical education course in the future. Dzik said in order for ATHA training to be considered for physical education credits, Halsch would have to submit a written proposal that would describe what the program would entail. It would then have to be
approved and adopted by the academic affairs committee. This idea was brought up as a way to subsidize ATRA and make it worth their while, since the school is not reimbursing them (ATRA) for the cost of the athletes' training. Raisch said, "I think it's a great idea but the school has to make a commitment. It just can't iro from desk to desk."
ATRA's cost is a problem for students, even though at $110 per year it is less than Main Line Nautilus, for example, which costs $50 for six months. Doreen Miller, freshman, said, "I realize it's not expensive compared to other fitness clubs, but considering the fact that I had to work all summer for tuition, I don't have money for extras like ATRA."
At the present time, athletes are the ones who primarily use the facility. Beverly Reilly, women's cross country coach, was one of the first women to u~ ATRA at Villanova. Reilly said, ''.ATRAcan be used by any athlete. For runners. it can provide stamina without bulk. I have my girls workout here at least three times a week."
CABRINI COLLEGE -of the _ ____.week selected by the coaches Women's Cross Country Beverly Reilly, coach, has selected seniors Maureen Murray and Colleen McLaughlin as athletes of the week. "Maureen placed fifth at Districts with a time of 23:35, qualifying her for Nationals," Reilly said. She continued, "I commend her this year. She was injured two weeks into the season, and she really did well. She came back strong both physically and mentally." "Colleen's efforts in the ESAC !Eastern States Athletic Conference) championships merit her special recognition this week," Reilly said. "The race marked real improvement in Colleen's running achievements. Reilly continued, "Her face was a true picture of determination."
Men's Cross Country Coach Tom O'Hora has chosen Pete Casazza. junior, as athlete of the week. "He ran a really sti:ong race at Districts. He placed fourth overall," O'Hora said.

,Women's CrossCountry:
Buildinga foundationNewseasonmarked
by changes,challenges
by Rhonda Dannenhower
The beginning of November brings about both colder weather and the end of fall sports. The Eastern States Athletic Conference, Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference and District 19 competitons have now come to a close. For some, this means moving on to the Nationals, for others the season is over. The 1986 season proved to be a building block for the women's cross country team. They established themselves as a serious team and placed second in the District 19 competition. Maureen Murray, senior, also qualified for the National competition. "This year we were strong. The Districts turned into a dual meet between Allentown and us," Beverly Reilly, women's cross country coach, said. "Everyone's racejust'didn't fall our way." · "It was more disappointing to come in second because the team set such high goals for themselves this year," Reilly said. ''There is always .the risk of falling short of your goals. Wedid this season. We really wanted those red jackets." "Running in Districts was a good experience for me, although we didn't win it this year. I am looking forward to winning next year," Eileen Zebrowski, junior, said. "I was disappointed at Districts because I missed qualifying for Nationals by one point," Angie Corbo, freshman, said. ''The weather was good, the track was nice, but I just didn't have it in me to get that extra point. I ran the best race I could for that day." This year was an important one for the women's cross country team. "This year we were a serious, committed and dedicated team," Reilly said. "We took ownership and made some big accomplishments, as a team and individually." ''This year we really established cross country as a serious team," Murray said. "Last year it was hard to find five women to run as a team. Now I think it is looked at as a serious women's sport." "This year we gained team unity." Zebrowski said. "Last year we were just individual runners. This year we set team goals as well as individual ones." Although the whole team feels they have improved this season, Murray will be the only team member who will compete in Nationals. "District 19 team competition and involvement is very weak," Reilly said. "The more team competition there is in the district, the more people they send to Nationals. Since our district team competition is weak, we couldn't get more of our team members to qualify for Nationals. It would benefit us to get into the National Catholic Athletic Association Division III competition next year." "I wish that I wasn't the only one going to Nationals. I will be the only one from our team competing, I will be running for myself," Murray said. "I can't score points for a team. It will be good experience, but I feel like I could do more ifl was helping out a team." "Next year we hope to beat Allentown. I am very confident that we can, all the girls are," Robinson said. "We are all rooting for Maureen at the Nationals. We hope to go and compete as a team next year." "Next year we will lose Maureen Murray and Colleen McLaughlin, but now that the team is becoming more established, I hope to do some recruiting," Reilly said. "Angie Corbo is a strong runner and a real asset to the team," Reilly said. "Wewill see a lot of accomplishments from her in the future." "Every year will bring more improvement, this is only the beginning," Reilly said.
Bringingold and new together:
Teamhas highhof)es by Jim Steffler
A great philosopher once said, "The ordinary athlete undergoes the rigors of training for the sake of muscular strength, but the great athlete will do so rather with a view to stJmulating the spirited element in his nature." Plato wasn't speaking to this year's Lady Cav's basketball team, but apparently the women have adopted his philosophy, whether they realize it or not. The Lady Cavaliers may be small and inexperienced, but from what they lack in height and greenness, they more than make-up for in speed and spirit. Four of the five starters returned from last_ year. They include: Fredia Gibbs, semor, captain; Sue Evich, junior; and sophomores Annmarie Baeurle and Chris Federico. Other team members are: Lori Albertus, freshman; Lisa Catini, senior; Christi Courseault, freshman; Marci Cutlet, freshman; Peggy Federico, junior; Megan Hogan, freshman; Marie Lis, junior; Jodie Snow, freshman; and Julie Snow, freshman. "This is the best team we've ever had. We excel in speed, and this will be the key to our success," Evich said. "We are going to capitalize on speed and surprise a lot of people, including spectators, coaches, etc. Wewill be a team to be reckoned with," Gibbs said. "Welook strong. We have four returning players which give us experience," Catini said. Added to the roster are new and talented faces. "The freshmen are very talented and work well with the returning players on and off the court," Catini said. Catini added,"The freshman will be a definite strength for the future because even now, they are unusually strong and mature in their playing abilities." According to Terry Mancini, coach, returning starters will provide good leadership and experience for the other members. He said, "I am very optimistic. Although the majority of the team is composed of freshmen, I feel that this gives us more depth than last year," Mancini said.
Mancini continued, "It will take a while to blend because of the new faces. The continuity is not there yet, but everybody is starting to know each other." Winning the District 19 championship is a primary goal of the team. They will have to beat Allentown and Spring Garden, two tough opponents. "We want to win Districts -and we can but we have to beat Allentown," Mancini said. "I know we have the potential to beat Allentown or win the District title," he said. "Allentown and Spring Garden are tough teams, but I think we can beat them," Catini said. "I want to graduate with a District 19 championship." Another aspect that the team is working on this year is unity. "We want to play more as a team this year," Evich said. Once we achieve this, we can achieve success and beat any team." "I hope we are more of a team this year. The attention should be spread out," Federico said. Players believe Gibbs is a motivating force on the team. "We all have respect for Fredia's talent. Welook to her as a leader on the court, and are depending on her to get us to the championships," Evich said. "Fredia sends off a spark and is a big factor on the team," Baeurle said. Last year, Gibbs ranked second in the nation in scoring while simultaneously ranking third in rebounding. John Dzik, director of athletics said "Fredia is clearly the best female athlete i have ever seen in this school; no o·ne is comparable." Gibbs realizes, however, that winning a championship doesn't come easy, and in order to win, the team must be hard-working and fully dedicated to their goal. The team will play their first pre-season game against Gwynedd Mercy College on Thurs., Nov:20. Their season will officially open on Fri., Nov. 21 against Dickinson College in the Millersville Tournament.

There are two changes that highlight this year's men's basketball season. There will be no team roster, and only eight games will be played at home. "I'm not announcing a list. I will take 12 players on the road. I will only take those who do things the way I want them done," John Dzik, men's basketball coach and director of athletics, said. Dzik continued, ''The bottom line is that some people will swing between junior varsity and varsity." Players see the rationale behind the new system, and support the idea, believing it will help eliminate some problems which the team frequently encountered last year. "Often, we ran into positions where three or four players would have class when we had a game, and having extra players will help alleviate this," Jim Welde, junior, said. Mike Waters, sophomore, said, "I prefer having it this way because some people don't show up for practice or get sick. This way is also better for the J. V. players because it will help them play_a higher caliber game." "It will also give them an extra in~entive because 15 players will smt for each home game. Five players ~ill have a chance to play on any given week," Welde said.
The schedule for the team includes many away games with only eight played at home. "I don't mind," Dzik said, 'just so that there are people here when we do have home games. We like traveling, but prefer to play at home." Waters added, "I don't think it'll affect the season. It does make you play harder when you're away.Fans (from opposing teams) can be rude and I like to prove them wrong." The team has some primary goals for this season. "The team is shooting for EPAC (Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference) and Nationals at Kansas City," Tim Powell, senior, said. "Every year we want to take another step forward in furthering the Cabrini basketball program," Welde said. ''We want to not only go to Kansas city, but we want to get there and win a game." "I just hope that we have a successful season, and go to Kansas City and stay there for a while," Brian Butler, sophomore, said. 'ream unity and motivation are -;omekev elements to achieving thP.se s~t goals. Jill Lehman, sophomore statistician ,said, "It is a team ;ffort. No-player is working for himself when on the court, they're working for the team." Lehman added, "The people that are there are friends, not individually oriented and out for themselves. I think that's going to make the difference."

Dr.JosephSorrentino:
Capturingrealitiesof the homeless by Monica R. Palko
Most of the photos that Sorrentino has taken of the street people hRvebeen at the meals. He has established a special trust and friendship with_mbst of the homeless.
Many people are afraid of those individuals who walk aimlessly around city streets lost in their own worlds. The thought of street people having feelings or any intelligence may seem absurd to most. However, Dr. Joseph Sorrentino, lecturer, biology, has a different feeling¡ for these people. Through the camera lens, he has given street people, the homeless, an identity. He wishes to convey that they are real people with feelings and fears like everyone else. Initially, Sorrentino had gone into the city to take pictures, but not specifically of the homeless. "Like most people, I was intially shocked and revolted by the homeless people I saw," Sorrentino said. The first individual Sorrentino saw was a man named Gordon. " . Gordon was walking around in filthy rags and rubbing his head. . Sorrentino viewed Gordon as the epitome of the average person's conception of a
Hi&preconceptions about the homeless were soon transformed. Sorrentino found that most of the homeless did not reflect the typical portrait of the street person and were actually "normal" human beings without homes. The homeless people with whom Sorrentino came in contact had their own stories to tell. They were individuals like you and¡ I with family and education backgrounds undetectable by the average person passing them on the s_treet. These people had such an impact on Sorrentino that he felt the best way to make others aware of their presence was through photographs. His black and white photos dramatically portray the black and white of street life.

homeless person. He.then wondered why nothing was being done to better the conditions of the homeless. He realized, however,that he couldn't do anything, either, until he talked to one of them. Sorrentino met Peter one cold October night on a park bench and started a conversation with him. Peter had been living on the street for 10 years and learned how to stay alive by eating the proper soup during each season. However, at that time, the soup kitchens hadn't been serving the proper soups. "That night I went back to my nice, warm West Philadelphia apartment where my wife happened to serve me soup," Sorrentino said. "Within the week, we volunteered to help serve meals to the homeless and hungry."
Sorrentino's "Down and Out in Philadelphia" exhibit will open on Nov. 13 on the main floor of the library. Sorrentino hopes that the photographs will bring about an awareness of the homeless to the campus community. The 15 picture exhibit is a concise display of the individuals that Sorrentino has come to know and care about. A two page biographical guide is available in which Sorrentino reveals the true lives of the homeless beyond the camera lens. Eventhough the living conditions and lifestyles of these people are unbeli~vable and undesirable to most, they can still find it in themselves to smile for the camera.
Rolesfor womenredefined by Catherine Kelley
Some women opt for marriage. Some women opt for careers. Some women opt for both. Others become single parents either by choice or circumstance. Glamour magazine, in the September issue, conducted a survey of women around the country to find out how women really feel about men, marriage, careers, children and the consequences of the choices that must be made. The June issue of Working Women dealt with the changing roles of husband and wife, and the new traditions these changes are creating. A study conducted by The Roper Organization Inc. for The 1985 Virginia Slims American Women's Opinion Poll also focused upon the changes in the opinions toward the status of women, marriage and divorce, women and careers and combining career and family. One of the biggest changes in marriage is the number of married women working. Over 50 percent of married women work today. The reasons why women work after marriage range from financial to the personal satisfaction women gain from their career. The question of whether or not to work after marriage is one very real to students today. Kathy Bradley, senior, said that whether or not a woman will work depends upon the individual. "It depends on how serious she is about her career." she said.
Rosemarie Costagliola, senior, offered another point of view. "This is a materialistic society," Costagliola said. "To achieve what we want, there has got to be two incomes." Costagliola continued, "Success is a lot rougher on women. There is more responsibility on a career woman running the household-that doesn't fall on the man." Referring to the trend in married women working and raising families, Cluis Corcoran. senior, said, "Especially if they're career oriented, it's nice for the man and woman, but I think the children suffer." Some students still have not decided if they will work or not. "It depends. I refuse to do everything (have a career, keep house and take care of children) myself," Michele Guenther, senior, said. According to a recent Harvard-Yale analysis of census figures, a college-educated white woman over twenty-five has a 50 percent chance of marrying. By the age of thirty, this drops to 20 percent, 5 percent at thirty-five, and one percent by age forty. The odds for black women are even lower. The reason why women are not marrying is not a lack of men. Until age thirty-five there are about the same number of men and women. The key is the number of men women want to marry. There is the cliche that all men are married, gay or crazy and, although that is not true, according to the Glamour survey, women have a difficult time finding a
man who meets the standards they have set. It seems that women would rather stay single than settle for a man who is not what they want. Another important factor is the new earning ability of women. Financially, women do not need men as much as they once did. The 1985 Virginia Slims American Women's Opinion Poll contradicts this view to an extent. Their study shows that 90 percent of both men and women think that being married is better than not. The Harvard- Yale analysis figures seemed to surprise Cabrini students. "Just because a woman decides to wait doesn't necessarily mean she's never going to get married," Costagliola said. Anthony Tomasco. chairperson, psychology department, sees each case as unique. "Each specific case is different. It has to do with new attitudes toward marriage," he said. Tomasco said it is way too early to tell what effect women waiting to marry will have on our society but saw current changes in society as being tied in. The way the work force is ¡structured, the way the family is structured, and changes in the way children are reared are some of the current changes in society noted by Tomasco. "There are more unmarried, single mothers and more and more women are choosing to have children without getting married," Tomasco said.

Cabrinispiritdefinedon campus The following 1s a special commentary by Dr. Joseph Romano. vice-president. academic affairs in honor of the spint of Mother Cabrini. whose.feast day was celebrated on Thurs .. Nov. 1 3-
by Dr. Joseph Romano
The day that we _celebrate in honor of Frances Cabrini is a good time to reflect on the Cabrini Spirit and see how it can be applied in a very practical way here on campus. At the risk of being maudlin, perhaps we can draw meaning by using the "Spirit" as an acronym:
Service Politeness , Integrity Respect Inspiration Trust Service implies that work is being do~e for someone other than onesel[ One who 1s truly performing a service works for the good of others. The members of Kappa Sigma Omega, the student-run service organization, give of themselves for the good of the college. They are ready to serve when we need help in running events, con-
ducting tours for visitors, and helping out on Open House. They embody the spirit of service that is.needed in order for the college to be successful in fulfilling its goals. Politeness is an interesting word. Its etymology refers to the body of people who make up the community-the body-politics as it were. Polite people are civilized. They have courteous manners. There was a time when an officer of law was reminded that he, as a policeman, was supposed to be a polite custodian of the inetropolitan, We all have our low points at times, but

and considerate of each other? We will have to remember not to write th nasty " t memos ¡ k ¡t hand to return our trays to e ca1e _en3: I c en. A little politeness makes a big difference. Integrity con.ootes a sense of unity. We are all different individuals, yet we are members of one college. As a complete institution, our integrity depends upon how we all aim in the same direction and pursue the same goals. The college intends the success of all the students in accordance with the Cabrini mission statement. All of those who work at the college are successful if the students reach those goals. If we are not at one with ourselves and each other, then our efforts are fragmented and our goals are difficult to attain. When these breakdowns occurred in human events, it prompted religious leaders to talk about making reparation. "At-one-ment" is necessary to restore integrity.

Respect indicates that there is regard for the value of others and their property. Value is the key word here. How we treat others is an indication_ of what value we hold in their regard. Do we respect others' opinions, rights, property? The respect we show for others, of course, is a reflection of how we respect ourselves. Self-respect tells us something about how we value ourselves. Someone who vandalizes property, for example, thinks very little of himself or herself. Inspirational people literally breathe life into all that surrounds them. We have many inspirational people on our campus who have-made significant sacrifices, suffered losses, and accomplished great things. Those people inspire us all to work together in reaching our common goals. Certainly, those who know even a little about St. Frances Cabrini are inspired by the good things she accomplished. Trust implies a relationship that closely resembles faith. Trust in others saves a lot of energy and time. Often words are not needed to explain and re-explain one's position or request. Trust engenders a relaxing environment free from tension and misunderstanding. Trust allows us to give others the benefit of the doubt and not to assume the worst of that person. Neither human beings nor human institutions are perfect. When we human beings Iive and work together day after day. our imperfections tend to be magnified and the spirit of mutual cooperation can be threatened. Some have said that Cabrini College has a greater spirit than most institutions they know. If this is true. then it must be proven through our actions. We think the spirit is here! Wearing Cabrini Spirit buttons is an external sign of what we believe is true. Manifesting the Cabrini Spirit in our actions is the true sign of what we are all about.
