1986:

looking back on a year of triumphsandtunnoil A high school mountain climbing trip to Mount Hood resulted in 1986. It was a year filled with disaster as students died after beginnings and ends. It was a year being trapped there for three filled with joy and disaster. It was days, exposed to cold and snow. Two survived, but have spent the a year to remember. year recovering from the trauma. by Jacqui McClernan

1986 was a year of violence all t>verthe world. In early January, a total of 18 people were killed in what was believed to be timed attacks in Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport and Vienna's Schwechat Airport. The entire year was marked by violence in South Africa from various problems, including opposition to United States Corporations. In the spring, the United States and Libya came head to head in the Tripoli Sea. The United States crossed Libya's "line of death," resulting in the sinking of several Libyan patrol boats. This led to "eleven minutes over Tripoli," when the United States bombed Libya. Tragedy seemed to underscore much of 1986. On January 28, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after lift-off, leaving in its wake an entire country to mourn the loss of seven astronauts. What seemed to make it worst was the death of Christa McCullough, the first school teacher in space, as her third grade class and parents looked on in disbelief This led to a Presidential investigation into the shuttle and NASA which uncovered a tragedy that many believe could have been prevented. In May, the Soviet nuclear reactor at Chernobyl caught fire resulting in the worst disaster in the 32 year history of nuclear reactors. Many people died as three continents waited for radiation tests to be conducted.

11 people died on the west coast as a result of terrential rain storms. Cocaine and crack became a major issue. Len Bias, the alltime leading scorer for the University of Maryland's basketball team died in June due to a cocaine overdose. Shortly thereafter, Don Rogers, defensive back for the Clevland Browns, died, also from a drug overdose. This raised the question of drug testing in sports and work.

Rock Hudson lost his battle with AIDS, and Kate Smith lost hers with cancer. The entertainment world lost Cary Grant, James Cagney, Rick l'felson, Ted Knight and Desi Arnaz. In mid-January the stock market took a plunge of39.10 points for a "minicrash," which topped the 38..33 points which triggered the depression in 1929. Tax reform was a major issue for President Reagan. Oil prices drastically dropped, resulting in low gas prices as well as low prices on other materials where oil is used.

In the science department, pictures were sent back via satellite from Uranus to the United States for further viewing by scientists. On the opposite end, a robot camera device sent to the ocean floor brought back clear, remarkable shots of the historic Titanic, the luxury vessel which sank in the early 1900's. The pictures showed the chandeliers and staircases with preciseness. On the political front, 1986 was a year of mudslinging, both in the United States and abroad. In the Philippines, both Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Acquino claimed to win the presidency. Marcos finally fleed the country for Hawaii and Acquino took over power. It was later discovered that Marcos had tied up millions of Phillipine dollars. Here in Pennylvania, the 1986 election was based on negative commercials that, in the last week of the campaign, changed to apologies. In the end, Bob Casey spelled victory as he headed for Harrisburg as governor. On May 25, the entire nation reached across America for 15 minutes to sing and unite for the homeless in Hands Across America. Âˇ August of1986 saw the threat of strike, which never materialized, by the Communications Workers of America. In September, Temple University's faculty went out on strike causing many students to miss class. The strike was eventually settled and the sememster is closing on schedule. The summer of 1986 brought about celebrations as well. The biggest birthday party ever was celebrated on Ellis Island the Fourth of July, as the Statue of

Department stores began buying and selling all over the place in 1986. Macy's took over Bamberger's, John Wanamakers- is on the selling block and Sterns bought Gimbels. Due to the sale of Gimbels, the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade was in serious jeopardy as Gimbels was always the sponsor. However, the parade went off without a hitch with a Liberty turned 100. The nation new sponsor and a somewhat new spent the entire Liberty Weekend look. enjoying festivities from dawn

until dusk. Top-line entertainers, as well as President Reagan, were on hand to naturalize citizens and to celebrate Lady Liberty's 100th. On the music front, 1986 saw 5he likes of Genesis and Billy Joel pass through Philadelphia for sell-out performances. The Monkees got together for a 20th reunion tour, pleasing fans from coast to coast. Bruce Springsteen and the E street band made a surprise appearance at a benefit concert for workers in Freehold, New Jersey. Following in the footsteps of Bob Geldof and his follow-up Sport Aide, the Amnesty International Concert took place over the summer. In the sports world it was a year of surprises. The Boston Celtics won the National Basketball Association Championship and the Edmonton Oilers won the National Hockey League championships. The New York Mets won the World Series and the Chicago Bears won the Super Bowl. Boris Becker and Martina Navratilova won the men's and women's Wimbleldon titles respectively, and Vinnie Testeverde of Long Island won the 1986 Reisman Trophy for college football. On the social scene, Ed McMahon and his wife adopted a baby, Nancy Lopez and Ray Knight had a baby girl, Tatum O'Neil and John McEnroe were married and had a son, and Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley celebrated the birth of their daughter, Alexa Ray. Wedding bells rang around the world as Prince Andrew wed Sarah Ferguson, Maria Shriver wed Arnold Schwarzenegger, Caroline Kennedy got married and Barbara Walters married Merv Adelson.

Celebrated comic George Burns marked his 90th birthday in 1986, looking ahead to the next 90 years. This year, for the first time ever, Martin Luther King Jr's birthday was celebrated as a national holiday on January 20th. This year saw the denial of parole for Sirhan Sirhan, and on the other side of the coin the release of Soviet dissident Anatoli Shchar11nski. Currently, the Iranian arms deal is rocking the Reagan administration. It is being compared with the Watergate scandal which rocked te Nixon administartion in the early 1970's. Top Gun was the movie to see in 1986, North and South Book II kept many people glued to their televisions for a week straight crying and cheering, and Bobby Ewing died and came back to life all in one year. On campus, 1986 was a year of success and of transition. The campus celebrated Mother Cabrini's feast day with a festive "Catch the Spirit" slogan. The soccer team captured both the District 19 championship and the Area 10 Championship, enabling them to compete in the national tournament in Wichita Falls, Texas. The soccer team is ranked number 12 in the NAIA. The men's cross country team captured the EPAC championship for the third consecutive year, enabling them to compete in the NAIA Nationals, in Wisconsin. Maurren Murray, senior, women's cross country team, qualified for the Nationals as well.

Christmastimebrings excitementto some yet tensionto others

Christmas is only 13 days away! Does this statement make your heart pound from the excitement of this season or does it skip beats because "you haven't gotten all of your shopping done (or started)," "you just have 'too' many people to buy for," or because "you barely have enough money to buy Christmas cards, let alone presents."?

When we were young,Christmasseemedlike it would neverarrive.Today,it seems like we are trying to pushthe entireholidayfarther awayfrom us. We should hope your heart should not skip any beats. Christmas is the time for caring and sharing. It is the celebration of the birth of Christ, and it shouldn't be a burden to any of us. When we were young, Christmas seemed like it would never arrive. Today, it seems like we are trying to push the entire holiday farther away from us. We understand that the lives of all of us are rather busy at this time in our life, but Christmas has always been celebrated on the twenty-fifth of December; it hasn't crept up on us, so there is no reason we should be so astonished by its arrival. The college student's budget that we are living on isn't any larger than before, so, why don't some of us try to stop worrying so much about the money we will be spending and enjoy the holiday. Don't be a Scrooge. Start right now, take the "X", often used as another shortcut in the commercial Christmas, out of"Christmas." Don't be so conscious of what the American dollar can and cannot buy you, and have a happy holiday! )

At last...cheerleaders finally acknowledged Dear Editor: Thank you for finally acknowledging the Cabrini cheerleaders! (Loquitur, Dec. 5). Throughout the last two seasons that I have been a Cavalier cheerleader, I have seen my fellow teammates work very hard and support the sports teams at Cabrini wholeheartedly. When the time came last year for us to buy new uniforms, we turned to who we felt were the appropriate people to ask for assistance, but doors began to close then, and they still remain that way. So where did that leave us? We had to raise the money ourselves by holding a lecture and selling mugs. It seemed unfair due to the fact that all other athletic teams received some kind of financial assistance. But, successfully we did it without so much as any type of help from the campus administration. The situation with no coach has been hurting the cheerleaders immensely since before I joined in 1985. Even though we have no coach, the girls still manage to decorate lockers, dorm doors, make posters, and practice. The amount of energy it takes is tremendous. Just because we do not practice foul shots or goals doesn't mean that we don't practice and exercise and risk our physical health. (Have you ever been out in 30 degree temperatures in our uniforms or on top of a two or three person pyramid?) I agree that the cheerleaders need a spokesperson to talk to the 'higher beings.' We need fair representation just like the basketball, soccer, hockey, and cross-country teams haYe. We may not win games or run meets, but we do have a goal. Our goal is to keep the spirit of Cabrini's fans flowing. It has become difficult to keep our Cavalier spirit going with the lack of financial support and with no coach.

Finally, I would like to commend the 1986-87 basketball cheerleaders. Even though I am not cheering this season, still wholeheartedly support our Varsity and J.V cheerleaders. Just as an example of their dedication would be our wins against Eastern last week. They were the ones who kept on yelling even when our fans became quiet. I heard much praise for our basketball teams after the Eastern games but little to none from our fans to the cheerleaders. They may not be on the court when the time clock is counting down, but they do prepare time out cheers. It isn't as easy as it seems to the fans. The cheerleaders have to have plans just like the basketball team when a member is sick. If someone is out, they have to change their cheers. It takes determination to switch pyramids when you know that it has only been practiced one time. So Cavalier fans, it really isn't as easy as it seems. Just remember next time, when you see a pyramid or cheer executed, that it is hard work and you have to be a dedicated fan to be a cheerleader. Sincerely, Laura Wilson, sophomore

perspectives

Who'll pay for unneeded repairs? Dear Editor: Generally, I am not a complainer and I, by no means, want to be regarded as an agitator (by anyone else but my mother of course), but I've been making the mistake of noticing the "improvements" that have been popping up lately; I had to comment. Maybe I'm the only person on campus who has met, in no uncertain manner, the recently erected bumps (???) to slow our cars down and ensure that good ol' 15 mile per hour speed limit. No, those intentions should not be confused with being at all dishonorable but, "YO PEOPLE! What are you doing to our cars?!?" I would love to meet the person who designed these symbols of mammoth achievement and ask him exactly how much he paid for his engineering degree and then go out to the parking lot to soap up the windows of his four-wheel drive truck (which he roust own not to feel the wrath of his own creation). I represent a large number of low-to-the-ground automobile owners and am, at this point, obliged to make perfectly clear this incompetent's incompetence: Sir (or Ma'am), You're incompetent! You live in a fantasy world of flying cars and low automobile repair bills! What was distracting your attention when the contractor to whom you handed the plans tor the bumps said, ''Are your sure that these are the right dimensions?" If ANY damage whatsoever is inflicted upon my car due to the rude encounters which it experiences with your bumps, YOU will surely be the one who agreeably and apologetically foots the bill. And when a car like mine and a lot of the other "lower" cars are put into the shop for muffler or drivetrain repairs, the numbers we're talking about are definitely three digits. (Use your imagination to fill those digits in)...

In the story "Men offer opposing view of date rape" in issue 11, Dr. M.L. Corbin Sicoli did not intend to mean both parties are "equally responsible" in the instance of date rape. She meant that, in her clinical experience both parties are to some degree responsible even though date rape is never justifiable.

The letter then goes into muffler prices and ends with an unpleasant closing. Hopefully, I won't have to write such a letter and neither will anybody else. However, I do not depend on hope and I do not live in a fantasy world. I HAVE experienced the damage to my car, and I know of some people who have ALREADY had the dreadful, unneeded and totally wasteful, annoying and time- consuming, not to mention expensive and all around pain-in-the- rearend repairs done. I happen to be somewhat of a realist. And I happen to be a firm believer in the fact that there is a logical explanation for all that tends to confuse us. But just as boys will be boys, exceptions to rules will always be exceptions to rules. The rule being that there is a logical explanation for all that tends to confuse us; the exception being ...the speed bumps. The fact that I am reasonably coherent and sane is strictly self-proclaimed but, I do have some sense of what is right and what is isn't. The speed bumps that were erected (and I DON'T use that term lightly) a couple of weeks ago are too high and are damaging our cars! Before the situation gets any uglier, sorm:!'thange must be made to those overgrown excuses for speed bumps, and these changes need to be made soon. SOON!-The damage is done. The proverbial "ball" is now in your court. My only regret is that this letter will not be printed until Friday. But who knows? Maybe Sister Eileen and Jim Fitzsimmons have gotten a copy of this letter in their mailboxes already? Very sincerely, Paul Scrivano, junior P.S. I'm glad I don't have anything better to worry about other than speed bumps, like finals. I hope you now understand the magnitude of your idiocy. I am and am not sorry that my adjectives were so derogatorially explicit. Quoth the Raven "Nevermore," betwixt the twain and went out the door.

In issue 10 there was a mix up between chee-rleading captains in the story "Cheerleaders seek support." The fall,. sports captains are Carole Kirchner and • Molly Fenerty and the spring sports captains are Lori Johnson and Bonnie Caruso. We regret these mistakes.

news Betty Hogan:

Outstandingsenior Betty Hogan definitely likes to party. She also insists on being "different." This is shown most predominately in her "softspiked" haircut, which she said is different than the "hard-spiked" look. Her friends think that she should become a stand-up comedian or a rock-androll star because she'd have the crowd in the palms of her hands. She enjoys role playing, her favorite character being Diana Ross. At this year's Fall Formal, Hogan captivated the crowd with her rendition of '½.in't No Mountain High Enough." Hogan is also a go-getter. She was the one primarily responsible for the lighting of Residential Boulevard last Thursday, when she, Terry Smith and Pete Bisconte, sophomores, strung Christmas lights on all seven houses. Hogan served as president of the seven houses, an orientation counselor, a member of campus ministry, a member of the drug and alcohol advisory board, a participant in project Appalachia and is currently program director of the Resident Student Association.

Betty Hogan, senior. {photo by Debbie Ferrar) She also was the originator of the "Tacky New Years Eve Ball" where only the tackiest dressed people attend to raise money for charity. She tells many stories about her high school career and her days at Cabrini East. She admits that life has been fun but has been filled with great tragedy as well.

In April of '85 (her sophomore year) Hogan's mother passed away after a long bout with cancer. "Cabrini was literally helping me to survive day to day," Hogan said. "Sr. Christine (past dean of students) kept sending my mom Mother Cabrini statues and I thought she was crazy. She was just showing she cared." From this experience Hogan has helped to start a support group on campus for other students who have lost someone close. "When people ask me why I chose Cabrini, I laugh because I always wanted to go to Penn State because of the real men," Hogan said. "But my mom made me come here because she thought the nuns would make me live with them so they could watch over me and make sure I wasn't going out studying at the Wayne Tavern," she said.

Seniorsprepare to graduate

newa

Trees replacedon campus

by Monica R. Palko Graduation is right around the corner for many seniors. With the coming of the next semester also arrives responsibilities and preparations for those who wish to participate in the May ceremony. According to Robert Fetterhoff, registrar, a student needs a minimum of130 credits and a grade point average of 2.00 or better to leave Cabrini's hallowed halls. All general education requirements associated with a student's degree program and major requirements must also be completed. The summer before a student's senior year is when the process of evaluating a senior's status begins. "An initial audit of the academic progress of each prospective graduate is performed," Fetterhoff said. "Every student who has 80 credits or more is evaluated. However, a student with 96 credits or more is considered a senior." The audit is presented to seniors on a form indicating the amount of credits that have been or need to be fulfilled. According to the registrar, any student who has gone to summer school is responsible for having an official transcript forwarded to Cabrini. Fetterhoff said another audit is done in January. Shortly after, each department reviews their prospective graduates. By the end of February or March, the departments can notify the registrar as to which students are eligible for graduation. At this time, Fetterhoff said, the registrar notifies seniors and the academic dean if there are any problems which will prevent a senior from graduating. Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson, English/communications department, said that the sooner a prospective graduate contacts his major adviser, the better. A senior should make sure that they have completed the courses for their major or can have tern completed by the end of the spring semester . . In the re~s~rar's office,_there is a graduation registration book in which seniors can sign up, notifying the registrar that they expect to graduate. At the same time seniors ~ fill out a slip indicating to the registrar how they want their names to appear'on their diplomas. All seniors have a choi_ceof which senior portrait th_eywould like to have placed in the yearbook. They should give the number from the back of their preferred photo to Donna Horsley at ext. 474 or 293-0773 or box 321. Âˇ

Many faces appeared, disappeared and reappeared on campus. The soccer coach, Tom Salmon was hired and fired. James Fitzsimmons took over the position of dean of students. John Doyle and Joanne Goebel, both Cabrini graduates as well as Rita Calicat, also a Cabrini graduate returned to Cabrini. Doyle and Goebel are resident managers and Calicat is director of student activities. Parents Weekend as well as the Fall Formal were both a success. Xavier won the homecoming float parade with the theme "Liberty Weekend." Over the summer of 1986, the houses were painted and stalls were put in the Woodcrest showers to replace the curtains. Installation of securitv combination locks

on all of the resident halls created a bit of controversy in the beginning of this semester. Xavier walls were painted with large colorful murals. The parking lot saw the addition of Atra and some controversial speed bumps. For a few days earlier this semester, the campus was tense when a mentally ill patient, said to be armed and dangerous, invaded the campus. He was later apprehended by Radnor Police. Of course, one cannot forget the seniors of last year who crawled down Lancaster Avenue and the seniors this year who crawled right behind in their tracks, eventually winding up at none other than Wavne Tavern.

o the CabriniCollege

Community:

Over the past few weeks, physical plant has been busy cutting down the old trees on the campus grounds and replacing them with new ones. ''The trees along the roadways were otd and rotting," Mike Caranfa, director of building and grounds, said. "They were a hazard because they were all rotten on the inside from old age and Gypsie Moths. Since their branches hung over the roadways, there was a chance that they could fall over." Acording to Dr. John DeTurck professor of biology, the trees were about 60 years old. The new saplings, purchased from a nursery in Malvern, were replaced to keep the roadways in their oriltinal condition. "Every year we are planning to put in 10 to 12 new oak trees to replace the bad ones that are beyond repair," Caranfa said.

This problem had been detected a few years ago. "Ecologically, the trees supply pus with shade, conserve water provide a natural habitat for the and other wildlife on campus " said. '

"Tun or 12 years ago, the school looked into spraying the trees," De'furck said. ''They could have sprayed, but it was financially impossible because of the constant amount of spraying that was needed at that time." ''The trees were so deteriorated on the inside, from internal fungal diseases and insects, that the limbs were falling down. It became a hazard to the people around campus. Something had to be sacrificed, so the trees had to go," De'furck said. Accordi?-g to De'furck, the campus' ecosystem will not be affected significantly because new saplings are being replanted.

Studentsexpressviews on Cabrini by Yvette Ousley

Students at Cabrini expressed various opinions on topics ranging from the Cabrini "grapevine" and social life to the lack of communication that students say exists between administrato1s and students. Among the students who had an overwhelming like for Cabrini, the popular response was, "I like Cabrini because it is a small and personalized institution." Susan Stuhl, freshman, was among the students who said that they liked Cabrini. However, she said that she doesn't like the Cabrini "grapevine." "Everyone knows your business," she said. "This is a disadvantage of attending a small college. Sharon Trakes, junior, said that she likes the small class size at Cabrini because it is easier to learn. Trakes, a former student at Penn State, said that many of her classes had 500 students in attendance and it was hard to learn because people were constantly carrying on conversations during the lectures.

Karl Sartor, senior, expressed a much different opinion about the college. Sartor said that he does not like the high schoollike atmosphere at Cabrini and has wanted to leave since his freshman year. "You're an adult," Sartor said, "and you're in an adolescent atmosphere where the administrators tell you what to do and when to do it."

Sartor explained that he hasn't left Cabrini because he has been in debt to the college each semester. "The college will not release your transcripts if you own them money," he said. Sartor, like many students at Cabrini, expressed a dissatisfaction with the social life here. Dina Branco,junior, said that she thinks that the social life at Cabrini is poor because there is nothing to do on the weekend. "If you don't have a car," she said, "then you're stuck on campus all weekend."

'You'rean adultandyou'rein an adolescent atmosphere wherethe administrators tell youwhatto do and whento do it. -Karl Sartor,senior Branco said that she doesn't attend dances sponsored by Cabrini because the music doesn't appeal to her. Trakes said most of her social activities take place outside of Cabrini because there is nothing to do here. . "At parties on campus," she said, "people sit around talking and drinking. I like to go places where I can meet different people." According to Rita Cali cat, director of student activities, activities are planned and sponsored, but student participation at these events are low.

Cahcat said that at least two activities are planned for two weekends in each month b~~ stu?ents ~on;,t participate. "For example, Cahcat said, the attendance at the Snowball Dance on December 6 was poor." Calicat suggested that if students wanted events to happen, then they have to make it known. Mary Beth Venditti, senior, commuter, was a resident in her freshman and sophomore years. Venditti said that she thinks that the social life at Cabrini has declined since her freshman year because people have lost interest and people's personalities are different. • Becky McGinnis, sophomore, expressed dissatisfaction with some campus policies which effect social life. McGinnis said that she doesn't think that students should have to pay to get into Tuesdays, the non-alcoholic pub night, because the attendance rate is already low. Calicat said that the fee charged to attend Tuesdays is minimal and exists to help cover the cost of the music and food provided for students at the pub night. ''As if social life wasn't bad already," McGinnis said, "Jim Fitzsimmons (dean of students) just enacted a policy where house parties are guest list only. If you don't know anyone in the house you can't get in." McGinnis said that she thinks that this policy will only push people to go to Wayne Tavern, a local bar. Fitzsimmons said the policy of having guest list at house parties was in existence when he came to Cabrini. Though Fitzsimmons said that the policy in houses are made by resident life, he said that the guest list policy in houses exist to control the size of the party. "Fire code regulations limit the.number

of persons that can be in a residence at one time," Fitzsimmons said.

Members of the student body and student government expressed a need for improvement in communication between administrators of the college and the student body. Paul Scrivano,junior, said that he thinks that there is a lack of communication in this area. Scrivano thinks this way because of the problems caused by the recently constructed speed bumps and the existing parking problem. ''The people who are making the decisions are not listening to the student body as they should," Scrivano said. Theresa Daly, sophomore, receives an academic scholarship from the college. Daly said that she thinks that their is a lack of communication between the academic administrators and the students. Daly said that she bas to obtain a 3.7 grade point average in order to retain her scholarship. Daly thinks that this is unfair because, in freshman year, Daly said that she only had to maintain a 3.3. Beth Lieberman, assistant director c>ffinancial-aid said that with freshman scholarships, whether $500$1500, it is clearly stated that freshman to sophomore year freshman students may keep a 3.3 grade point average. However, during sophomore year any Cabrini student, who makes a 3.6 average or above, is eligible for a scholarship. "In sophomore and junior years," she said, "scholarships are thrown into a pool where all stude~are eligible, depending on their grades." Lieberman also said that this policy is clearly stated in letters sent home to those students who receive scholarships in their freshman year.

Coursesdemandingin all areas by Monica R. Palko

With the variety of subjects taught at Cabrini, students are often faced with a course or subject that they find difficult. This course could be one in their major or one of the general education classes which are required for graduation. According to Dr. Joseph Romano, vice-president for academic affairs, there has been much criticism about higher education, specifically in-general education. At Cabrini, Romano believes that the general education requirements are demanding, but he thinks that turns out to be a strength. "I don't know how much freshmen and sophomore,; appreciate it (GER's)," Romano said, "but the GER's will help them wit]l courses in their major." One area that Romano believes has proved difficult for students is science, due to the lack of preparation received in high school. "Science is basically difficult," Jody Romano, senior, English/communications major, said. "If you're not interested in something, it makes it that much harder." Mike Edmondson,junior, history and secondary education major, said that for freshmen European history could be a bit challenging because of the lack of European history courses in hii:rh srhool.

According to Barbara Rubin, assistant director, Center of Academic Reinforcement, the majority of students who come to CARe are seeking help with GER's. Math courses are the primary problem because they require the student to deal with abstracts and that is where some people have difficulty. Rubin also said that biology is another problem area for s~udents. "In high school, ifwe understand concepts, that's enough," Rubin said. "But here we are required to know the material in depth." Many students find that courses within their major can prove to be taxing. "There's always going to be a course in your major that's a challenge," Pete Rudegeair, senior, psychology major, said. "If it's in your major, you're more prone to respond to that challenge." As a biology and psychology major, Patrick McKenna, senior, said that genetics is difficult because of the amount of information that must be learned in a short period of time. "Educational psychology was a tough course because it's understanding why people are educated " Joe Guiffre senior, English/communications and secondary educatio~ major, said. "The concepts are difficult to grasp because you take so much for granted." Mi~hele Dahl, junior, history major, said that the historiography course is pressure-filled. "It consists of one 20 page paper that has to be precise and detailed. And it's the only required course for history maiors." '

. According to Rubin, the business finance and statis~1cs cours~s ~re a p~oblem for most business majors. The math 1sn t the difficult part of business finance " St~p~;~ ~esthead, _senior,business administration majo~, said. Its mterpretmg the results of your calculations." Not on~y are courses often challenging in themselves, but the time devoted to them outside of class can put a heavy burden on a student. Those students who take computer courses are faced with such problem. "Wedon't have the time to get into the computer lab to prepare for compu~er courses," Aliza Candelori, junior, psychology and social work major, said. "When you do get in the lab," Tracey Miller junior marketing major, said, "there are so many peo~le that need the computers, you have to wait." A~cording to Romano, the more time spent on a subject outside of _cl8:ss,_ the better. "What the heck can you learn about a disc1plme for an hour and 15 m(nutes twice a we_ek?"Romano said. "Class time should be a contact pomt to see what you've learned and share your experiences with others." No matter how difficult a course may be, Romano said that ~If-learning is the key, making work outside of class beneficial. " "We demand a lot from our students," Romano said. People complain about one course and another. However, some students may like a course." Romano believes that students may not be in a position to know if they'll benefit from a given co11rse.

GiveyourseNthe gift of fitness by Regina Battiato

After you have eaten that last bite of turkey and sipped that last drop of creamy rich egg nog, you can honestly admit that you've enjoyed every last delicious taste of what the holiday had to offer. You may have forgotten just how many bites and sips that you've taken, but guess what's been counting them for you? You'veguessed right. It's those infamous calories. They never lose count and love the holidays when they have the greatest opportunity to enter all of our previously fit and trim bodies surfacing as unwanted pounds. You can just ignore those ten holiday pounds that have just attached themselves to your body. Of course with the extra weight, you'll probably be a size or two bigger, which would mean you'd have to buy an entirely new wardrobe. Now if you have the bucks and you care little- or nothing about your body, then I guess it would be all right. But, are those extra calories worth all that aggravation? If you really do care about your body and are not inter"'ested in purchasing a new wardrobe, then you do have another choice.

You can burn those extra calories off your body and restore the super shape you once had and with a little will and determination, you will get it back again. Local fitness clubs and health spas in the area offer fitness suggestions for all of those who tend to over indulge during the holidays. "You have to get yourself in a regular exercise program," an employee at Holiday Fitness Center, said. "It's the only way to get back into shape. It is really the only thing that will work," he said. ''After you eat, don't just sit around. Do something," Linda Zaccaria, fitness and aerobics instructor at Club La Maison, said. "Start a workout program," she said. According to Zaccaria, if you do high aerobic exercises such as biking, walking and running, then you should be back in shape in no time. "It's those cardiovascular exercises that burn the most calories," Zaccaria said. Students who try to stay fit over the holidays comment on just how they do it. ''After all of the eating I do over the holidays, I go to Woodbridge Raquet Club to take part in the aerobic classes," Patti Dunigan, sophomore, said.

"I don't exercise, I just don't eat anymore desert," Maureen Dion, sophomore, said. "I usually go for walks after eating all the holiday food," Cathy Feraco, sophomore, said. Of course a great shape will not be formed over night, but according to health spa employees, to get and keep a good shape, you have to exercise daily.

Afterallof the eatingI do overthe holidays,I go to Woodbridge RaquetClubto take partin the aerobicclasses.' -Patti Dunigan,sophomore "There is no magic formula. Just get yourself moving and exercise. That's where it's all at," Holiday Fitness Center employee, said.

NewYear'sEve:

Foodand music WhereÂˇto go, whatto do? set the mood.

by Denise Brady

.,.

It's that time again. The time of trying to decide what to do New Year's Eve. Most people start planning this night in June, but the problem is that there seems to be a limited list of options. So what are you going to do? If you're over 21, you'll have several options. If you have large amounts of extra cash you could go to a casino. Resorts International will have Dom DeLuise and Clint Holmes headlining. For $60 per person you can enjoy the show, champagne, and party favors. Harrah's will serve a buffet dinner for two, a champagne split, and give you two tickets to see Debbie Reynolds and Donald O"Conner for $87 per couple. If you would like a little magic in your night, David Copperfield will be appearing at Caesars Palace. You could also go to a local nightclub. Stacy Lattislaw will be at Pulsations in Media. You can enjoy party favors, snacks, and a cash bar for $29.50. Popcorns, in the King of Prussia Mall, offers an all night buffet, party favors, a champagne toast, and a disc jockey from 98 WCAU all for $30, if you pay in advance; $35 if you pay at the door. Mainline bars are offering special deals. Smokey Joe's, in Wayne, will have on open bar and a cold buffet, plus party favors for $30 per person. Al E. Gators, in Bryn Mawr, will have an exclusive lounge set aside for New Year's Eve. For $9.95 you will receive a complimentary free first drink, snacks, a continental breakfast, and a champagne toast at midnight. If you're thinking of going into Philadelphia, try the Trocadero, the Chestnut Ca beret, City Bites, or the Heartthrob Cafe. All will offer a special New Year's Eve party. Not 21? Why not rent a cabin up in the mountains with some friends and go skiing? Be prepared to spend your money, though, because prices go up at this time of year. If you want to try something really different, go to New York City. Times Square could be a bla;,t with a bunch of friends, and you'll see thousands of interesting people. If you'd rather do something a little safer, go to a show, either at Radio City Music Hall or in the theater district. Staying close to home is another option. Convince one of your friends to throw a party, or throw one yourself. Make it a black-tie affair, and ask your friends to bring some munchies and champagne.

When you get together this holiday season, do you notice that the same foods are always prepared? Does familiar seasonal music set the scene? You know it's Christmas when fruitcakes fill the fridge and Perry Como raids the airwaves. Food wise, it is traditional to serve mincemeat pie, turkey (or any kind of fowl), fruitcake, and eggnog. However, there are distinctive customs in every family. In most Italian homes, it is traditional to have fish on Christmas Eve, and to have a six- to seven- course meal on Christmas Day. In such a home, one may expect to find several dishes consisting of pasta with clams, mussels or squid, ravioli, and ricotta cheese pie. Some English traditions include such dishes as plum pudding, goose with chestnut stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, and Hot Toddy with cinnamon sticks. At Al E. Gator's in Haverford, Dave the bar manager, claims that hot buttered rum, eggnog, Harvey's Bristol Cream, and coffee liqueur drinks such as Kahlua, are some favorite holiday beverages. For those of us who have an extra few dollars in our wallets, a good bottle of Dom Perignon is always a nice treat (especially at $90 a bottle).

If you are planning to get together this holiday season and you want to try something new, Le Petit Chef Caterers in Ardmore has some ideas. They are making shrimp trees for parties, and they also have a French dessert made from mocha and dark chocolate, called a Burch de Noel. For garnishes, they are making wreaths out of watercress.

Christmas traditions also run into the line of music. What is a Christmas gathering without those joyful tunes like "Jingle Bell Rock'' and others? According to Kiss 100 FM, every year certain songs are requested more than others. One such song is the Oscar award- winning Bing Crosby song. "White Christmas". However, the Kiss 100 format for Christmas music is done by a computer so there won't be a problem with overplay. On oth~r stations, a new tradition in holiday harmonies has hit the radio, with catchy songs like "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer." Even the pop-music world has its own version of holiday music, like the songs: "So This is Christmas" by John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", The Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick", and the song that brought dozens of rock's biggest names together, "Do They Know it's Christmas?"

features Mononucleosis:

Notjust a kissingdisease

by Beth Ann Bittner

You have just heard through the Cabrini "grapevine" ,that mono, infectious mononucleosis, is running rampid on campus. The horrible disease that they call the "kissing diselllle" is wiping out your friends left and right. Questions and fears race through your head. How can you get mono? Infectious mononucleosis is a syndrome and can be caused by several viral agents. The virus is spread through oral secretions, which explains why mono is often called the "kissing disease." How can you tell if you have mono? If you have mono you have probably developed symptoms such as a sore throat, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and possibly elsewhere and changes in your blood. It is.also possible that one or more of these symptoms are absent and in additioQ,,.you may have a fever, a rash, an â&#x201A;Ź1llarged spleen, and even jaundice. How should you take care of yourself if you think you have mono? It is most impo~ant not to self-diagnose. If you have any symptoms as described, you should seek medical advice from your physician. Although you may have the symptoms of mono, it is also very possible that you.are sick with something other than mono. The only way they can establish the difference is by having a blood test done. According to Dr. Stephen-Ryave, M.D., after diagnosing mono, he would prescribe bed rest, aspirin or ty lenol for headaches and muscle aches, some type oflozengers for the sore throat, a light diet, and highly recommends that you use and do not share your personal

belongings such as towels, wash cloths, eating utensils, and drinking glasses. The reason bed rest is so highly recommended is not for the purposes of fatigue. When you have mono there is the possibility of your spleen becoming enlarged. You must be very careful not to allow any blow to the chest or abdomen areas. Such blows could cause the spleen to rupture which could be life threatening.

The virus is spreadthroughoral secretions,which explainswhy mono is often calledthe "kissing disease." If you are involved in any physical activities or athle.tics, it is important to consult your physician before returning to these activities. The length of time you will be sick is very unpredictable. Some people have mono and recover without ever knowing it. The rate of recovery in mono depends on the individual. People who arâ&#x20AC;˘highly motivated to return to their activities will recover more rapidly than others. Those with depressions are likely to recover more slowly. There is one good point to having mono. Once you have had infectious mononucleosis your chances of ever getting it again are highly unlikely.

Planningfor winterbreak by Patricia Brown

At last! Christmas break is just around the corner. There will be no more stress to deal with, only fun, relaxation and time to catch up on all that sleep. So, how is everyone going to spend the break? Is anyone going away for Christmas? Are there any good parties planned? Will anyone even think about school? For some, relaxation and fun is the plan. "I'm going to relax, go out, sleep late every single day, and do absolutely no studying," Jennifer Preston, senior said. "I'll go sledding if it snows," Lisa Nicholson, business office employee, said. "I'll visit family. I'll go to the movies. I'm taking full advantage of my time. We don't get another break for a while," she added.

Many, like Patti Ruppe, junior, will intermingle parties with work. "I don't have anything special planned. I'll probably do a lot of visiting, working, and going to parties," she said.

'I'm going to North Carolina to visit my motherbecauseI miss her very much.' -Karen Clark,senior This is the plan Missy Kernevich, junior, has decided to follow, also.

Santatakesa brea

"I will be working during the day and hanging out with my friends at night," Kernevich said. Holiday 'time gives time to travel for some. Besides the good tidings and Santa Claus, Christmas also brings cold weather and snow.This sends some people South for the season- some for relaxation and some for family get-togethers. "I'm going to North Carolina to spend Christmas with my mother because I miss her very much," Karen Clark, senior, said. Natasha Bolufer, part-time student, is going a long way to be with her family for the holidays. "I'm going back home to Valencia, Spain after Christmas," she said. Florida is the choice for people such as Frances Conwell, payroll director. "I'm going to Florida, which is my home originally, to visit my family and friends," she said. Dr. Kathleen Daley, professor, sociology, is also heading south for a vacation, but she will not be forgetting about school. "I'm going to Florida with my family the day after Christmas. I'll bring many books to read, hopefully in the sun. I'll be preparing for my classes for next semester," Daley said.

'I'm goingto party every night becauseI deserve it after the problemsI had this semester. -Rosemarie Costagliola, senior

We've all heard about "mommy kissing Santa Clause," but Debbie Ferrar, junio akes another approach to warming up with the man in red.

Not everyone heads south. Some choose to visit places with cold climates over places with warm climates. This includes John Callinan, sophomore. "I don't really go away to sunny places because I'll burn," Callinan said. "I'm going to New York and Washington, D.C.," he said. Some are not going home for the holidays. Paul Cauchi, senior, is one of these people. "I have to find a place to live over Christmas. My home is in the Poconos, but my job is here. I'm not allowed to stay in the dorms over break," Cauchi said. Students like Rosemarie Costagliola, senior, will concentrate on fun and still find time to work on her future. "I'm going to party every night because I deserve it after the problems I had this semester, and then I'm going to sober up enough to find a job down at the job fair," Costagliola said. This job fair is "Operation Native Talent" at the Franklin Plaza, 17th and Race, on December 29 and 30. There will be representatives from businesses in the area. Lest school be forgotten, the business department will be sending holiday tidings. Nicholson said, "The bills go out out before we leave for Christmas break." "It's a lot to fit in. Time off is nice, but there's a lot to get done before we leave," Conwell said.

Possible rec[uits appreciat campus by Rhonda Dannenhower

At the recently held "College For a Day," approximately 95 high school seniors from all over the Delaware County came to visit Cabrini College. They had nothing but praise for every aspect of Cabrini. Among the lost and anxious faces stood a group of casual preps donned in their Archbishop Prendergast garb making casual small talk. When asked why they came here, they shrugged their shoulders and laughed. , "I want to find a prom date," Ann Dunn, senior, Archbishop Prendergast, said. "No seriously, Nancy Gardner really got me interested in Cabrini when she came to Prendie to talk to us," Dunn said. "I want to see the school and the people here." "I've heard a lot about Cabrini on the radio and from my friends," J. Katie Mullen, senior, Ursuline Academy, said. '1 thought I might like it here." As the day progressed, the visiting students went to some lectures, ate in the cafeteria and sat in on one of the 11:10 classes.

'I like the smallerclasses betterthan the largerones at Prendie.I like the small schoolsetting. It is more personal.I want to know everyonein my class.' -Ann Dunn,senior, ArchbishopPrendergast "Wesat in on Dr. Romano's philosophy class," Dunn said. "The classes are small here. There were hardly any students there." "I like the smaller classes better than the larger ones at Prendie," Dunn said. '1 like the small school setting. It is more personal. I want to know everyone in my class." "The food is good here. We never have that many different foods to choose from at Prendie," Dunn said. "I will definitely come here if I have the money. I like the area. It's pretty out here. The people are nice, and it's close to my home," Dunn said.

LowratingscauseD.J.S dismissal by Christine Cocchia

When you think of a morning radio personality who offers an intellectual alternative to morning radio, who comes to mind? For WIOQ fans, "Harvey in the Morning" was the answer until he was fired. The Philadelphia personality worked for WIOQ for 13 years. He spent five of those years ruling the airwaves with his morning show. He started out with WIOQ as the weekend news man for his first year and a half and then moved into his own spot on the graveyard show. Shortly after, Harvey became the morning man. "When the ratings were good, it gave me the freedom to do whatever the heck I wanted," Harvey said. "But when the ratings go away, so does your power, and then you're told what to do. It becomes much less fun," he said.

"When people began listening to the latest trends, and I would here people say 'Hey, did you hear what Howard Stern said ~oday?', it was like putting a knife in my back," he said. Harvey is a graduate of Temple University, however, he started out as an anthropology major at West Chester University for two years. Why anthropology? "Well, when I had to declare my intended major on the application for admission, I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I checked anthropology since it was listed first," Harvey said. Once at Temple, Harvey took classes in film, television, and radio production. "I knew I liked to be in front of people and perform, but it wasn't until my senior year that I realized I wanted to be a disc jockey," Harvey said.

According to Harvey, the radio business is extremely competitive and it runs in cycles. WIOQ was very successful for five of six years, and Harvey was the most popular morning man around.

'Whenthe ratingsweregoodit gaveme the freedomto do whateverthe heckI wanted.But whenthe ratingsgo away,so does yourpower,andthenyou'retold whatto do. It becomesmuchless fun.' -Harvey, radiopersonality

'Thechanceto do something fun andcreativeisworthallthe competition and the risksthatare involved.' -Harvey, radiopersonality Since this is a business of contacts, Harvey got a lucky break in his senior year. He had a friend who knew the program director for WIOQ, so he sent him a demo tape. "There are two things that it takes to make it: talent and a lot of perseverance. If you have talent but don't persevere, you won't succeed." Harvey said. Harvey has been involved with several projects other than radio, which he hopes to soon get back into as soon as his non- compete clause in his contract runs out after the first of the year.

However, no one can stay at the top all the time. WIOQ ran into some difficulty when they changed their format and made some changes in their personnel (in conjunction with the growing popularity of WMMR'sMorning Zoo) and their ratings began to slip. As a result of the station's failing ratings, Harvey was released from WIOQ in a struggling attempt to mend their problems. At the same time, WIOQ lost their most visible personality. After 13 years with WIOQ, Harvey was nothing less· than shocked. ·

He is currently an announcer on a gameshow tor kids on the Nickelodeon station, called "Double Dare", which can be seen weekdays at 5:30 p.m. Aside from that, Harvey has made a commercial for Clover, and also hosts the Sunday night movies on Channel 29 at 8:00 p.m. He also starred in an educational pilot science film for the Franklin Institute. "I'm waiting for that big bolt of lightning to hit me and tell me what to do. I tried to do a warm, intellignt show, which I feel I did, and I want to do tat again," Harvey said. "You know, part ofme is glad that I'm not in the middle of a ratings battle with Howard Stern and John DeBella. The pressure was enormous, and your self image really takes a beating," he said.

"I really felt that I was taking the brunt of all the station's responsibility. In the process, I lost a lot of my self-confidence as a performer," Harvey said.

However,Harvey said, "The chance to do something fun and creative is worth all the competiton and the risks that are involved."

Cheerleaders:

Riskingpersonalsafetyfor performance by Stephanie Giardini

A spectacular pyramid receives the applause of the cheering fans. Suddenly, the cheerleader at the top slips and falls. How often does this happen? Is there a serious risk in cheering? Is cheerleading becoming a dangerous sport? There is a growing national concern for the safety of college and high school cheerleaders. This is due to the number of fatal and serious injuries that occur during their perilous routines. In the eyes of some colleges, cheerleading is not considered a sport, but a social activity. Members of Cabrini College's cheer leading squad disagree. · Lori Johnson. junior, captain, said, "Cheerleading has always been a sport. It requires the same strength to perform as to play." The che~rleading activity has changed and progressed since the days of porn-porn shaking and kicking. Today's cheerleaders are in competition with other squads for the best routines which can get quite daring. Cheerleaders today must know gymnastics in order to do the flips,jumps, and tumbles that are involved with their cheers. The disadvantage to these activities at Cabrini is that there is no regulation or skiUed training to oversee formation and practice of these routines. "I think that if they're done properly and properly coached, there is no problem," B.J. Petracci, senior, said. "The problem is that cheerleading is not taken seriously. If they are not trained, they are risking a chance with an injury." Petracci suffered a shattered disc due to the pressure of having people mounted on top of her back. According to Susan True, a former gymnastics coach and official of the National Federation of High School Cheerleaders, the cheerleaders are doing activities that trained gymnasts do. The cheerleaders believe that the gymnastic activities are necessary for what they do because it adds to their performance. "It is part of being a cheerleader. It is expected. It would be boring without it,' Tina Petragnani, sophomore, said.

"WE WISH YOU A HERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NE~' YEAR !

Cabrini's cheerleaders make up their own routines and practice pyramids and.flips without supervision. The squad practices four hours a week in perfecting and revising their performance for safety and looks. Each member of the squad trains and exercises individually. They are eligible for free use of the ATRA (Athletic Training Research FAcility) center, but due to shortage of time, they do not get to use the facility as often as they like to. The Cabrini squad is allowed to have only 10 cheerleaders for safety purposes. This number is for the saftey of building the pyramids. The women are needed to build the pyramid and one or two are needed to "spot" or catch the women on the top. Cabrini's squad is not totally unexperienced in the area of gymnastics. Some squad members have exp~rience with it and help the other members. "The cheerleaders know what they are doing," Kim Hindsley, sophomore, former member of the squad, said. ''They know procedures on holding people and the pressure points of where to stand." "This year the squad has not experienced any major injuries,'' Johnson said, "just some strained knees and pulled muscles due to stress."

Cavscome backto groundEagles74-73 by Debbie Ferrar

This Eastern game was twice as important because it was Cabrini's first conference game. "If you want to win the conference, you have to win conference games," Dzik said.

On the evening of December 2, the Golden Eagles of Eastern left their nest across the street and flew into Cavalier country. They flew too low though and into the swords of the Cavaliers.

At the start of the game, the cheerleaders were drowned out by the sound of stomping and Cabrini fans shouting "ARNOLD, ARNOLD." (referring to Arnold Johnson, Eastern)

A thunderous clapping welcomed the blue wave of Cabrini's men's basketball team onto the court. Both teams warmed up with smiles and enthusiasm, as if each team knew they were going to win and rule Eagle Road.

The first points of the game were scored by John Aivoziglou, junior, which were followed by Jeff Kardos, senior, captain. Dzik paced back and forth in front of the bench as Eastern gained a lead of 18-16, eight minutes into the game. The Eagle crowd went wild, as Cabrini fans shouted various obsenities.

Nate Ware, Eastern coach, said that. there is no motivation problem when it comes to playing Cabrini. "The intensity will be there," he said. According to John Dzik, men's basketball coach, any time you put Eastern and Cabrini together on the same court, it will be a good game. '½nything can happen, really," he said. Before the game, there was the usual speculation and the Cavs went into the game with confidence. According to Karl Sartor, senior, playing in the Millersville Tip-Off Tournament gave them confidence. Sartor added that if the team plays like they played against East Stroudsburg and Millersville, they would definitely win the game in the first ten minutes.

"Get in the game." Dzik shouted from the sidelines. The game remained very close as more fans filtered into the gym. At nine minutes into the game, Jones blocked Mike McCarron's, Eastern, lay-up and flew into the audience. Five minutes later, the Cavs were leading 32-29. The coaches from both teams crouched on the sidelines, watching intently. Mike Waters, sophomore, made the last basket of the half, which made the score 42-39, Cabrini.

'We're going to win, thats all I've got to say.' -Allen Jones, senior, said

The three point lead didn't discourage Eastern fans. "The score doesn't say much. The Eagles are still going to win. We're bigger and better then they are," Donna Porter, Eagle mascot, said.

The Eastern game was purposely set on a 'Tuesday to create a big crowd, Dzik said. "The intense rivalry between the two schools makes the game more exciting for the players. Big crowds make a big difference," he said.

Four minutes into the second half, Cabrini was winning 49- 44. Johnson missed a foul shot as Cabrini fans screamed, '½RNOLD, ARNOLD.'.'

Eastern is the last team to beat the Cavs here at home. Last season they defeated Cabrini in the Division Championship Tournament. This was Cabrini's chance to get even. "We're going to win, that's all I've got to say," Allen Jones, senior, said. "Paybacks. We want to crush them," Anthony Dade, senior, added.

Cabrini increased their lead to six points, seven points. Brian Butler, junior, added another with 12:49 left in the game·. However,the eight point lead didn't last. A few Eastern moves, including a breakaway, narrowed the Cav's lead to two, and eventually tied the score again.

Going into the game with a 2-1 record, the women's basketball team, led by Coach Terry Mancini, won their game against Eastern College, Tues., Dec. 2, with a final score of 63-62. The winning point was scored by Sue Evich, junior, co- captain. This game represented the first Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference meeting for the Cavaliers. According to Mancini, the team was not favored to win their game against Eastern. "Because the team this year is basically new, there were a lot of inexperienced players," he said. "Five new freshmen are on the team, that caused a lot of nervousness," Mancini said. Also, the Lady Cav's leading scorer Fredia Gibbs, senior, was out due to injury. "By the second half, the team started becoming more confident. They started to create what happened on the court, they didn't just wait for it to happen," he said. "They knew they had to play harder in this game. They had a lot of odds against them, and I think that pushed them," Mancini added.

"There is not the same type of atmosphere as there is in the men's game. The Spring Garden game is the big game of the season, that's when our players give iteverything they've got," Mancini said.

"We're having a great season so far," Lisa Catini, senior, co-captain, said. "We have a strong bench this season, and Terry utilizes it well." Even though the women's basketball team is having a winning season, some believe they are still not receiving the support they need. According to players, most of the fans at the games are close friends. They also find that the gym only gets crowded towards the end because people are showing up for the men's varsity games. "The team still needs more support, for example at the Bryn Mawr game only a handful of people showed up," Mancini said. According to coach Mancini, the team seemed more confident because they were playing on their home court. "Being on our home court usually gives us the edge over the other team that we need," he said.

-Athlete f the eek Women's Basketball l<reshman Meg Hagan has been named athlete of the week by Coach Terry Mancini.

"Though not my best P.layer, he's my most improved player," McQueen said. "He is one of the few players playing basic basketball."

According to Mancini, "Hagan has been the most pleasant surprise among the newest members to the team."

"While others try to emulate varsity, he seems to be the one sticking to the basics of the game and not allowing the different influences of varsity affect him," McQueen said.

He continued, "For a freshman, she's playing with unbelievable confidence." Mancini added, '½!so, her play off the bench has made us a better team than I thought we were going to be."

Men's Varsity Basketball Because of his outstanding rebounding performance, Karl Sartor, senior, has been chosen athlete of the week by Coach John Dzik.

Men's J.V. Basketball Coach John McQueen has selected Mike Stevenson this wee's athlete of the week.

"In the Alfred Tournament Karl had 14 rebounds. Last night against Spring Garden he had 14 points and 16 rebounds," Dzik said.

"The Cavs came back when they had to," Dzik said. "But the officiating was poor for both sides. It was a tough game to officiate, but it was poorly officiated," he said. "But I'm happy that we won."
