Validityof coursefeesquestioned

by Debbie Murphy

·

Every year at the budget committee's annual review meeting, the subject of course feei; arises.

And every year, the committee has a dilemma on their hands: "Should we keep the course fees as they stand, or should we eliminate them and raise the tuition for all students?" · · ''The committee and I wince when we hear the word 'fees,"' Dr. Joseph Romano, vice president for academic affairs, said. "We always end up discussing whether we should drop course fees and raise the tuition for all students, or keep the fees as they are," he said. .

According to Romano, at the annual budget review meeting, Cabrini's fee structure is compared with the fee structures of other colleges. This is done not only to ensure that course fees at Cabrini are not too high, but also to see if all fees could possibly be absorbed into one line fee.

Romano said that while the budget committee, the business office and all others involved, would like to merge course fees with tuition and have just one lump sum to deal with, the issue of fairness has always prevented the committee from making such a decision.

"It wouldn't be fair for students in less expensive majors to have to pay for students in majors which require many additional fees," Romano said. "We're also never sure what amount to charge that would spread the added cost evenly over all students," he said.

One of the biggest arguments against course fees arises from individual department members. Although they understand the need for course fees, many do not see an increase in their department budgets as the number of students paying course fees increases. ''When the language fee was established by the former dean of students, she made it clear that the extra money would not belong to the department," Helene Hennigan, chairperson, language department, said. "Our department doesn't get a thing out of language fees and they aren't reflected in the department's budget," she said.

"Though we might establish that there's a need for a lab fee, we don't see the money students pay for taking labs," Gerald Satlow, assistant professor, computer science, said.

"I don't know how much our department fees are because I never see them," Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson, English and communications, said. "Course enrollments are increasing, but the department budget stays the same," he said.

"Wouldn't it be nice if departments could use the money the school gets from lab fees to buy things the department really needs?" Satlow asked.

According to Romano, departments who charge fees do get the money, though indirectly, from the college's general operating budget.

"Everyone draws from the general operating budget," Romano sall!. -th maintain consistency, "11fees go into the same general operating budget. Departments don't get a dollar for dol,ar payback, but they do get the fees back indirectly through individual department budgets," he said.

In response to departments who think increased fees should be reflected in their department budgets, Romano said that because the budget committee doesn't say "we're going to cut you" to departments who aren't bringing in enough students, departments in turn, should not demand increased budgets for increased course fees.

Another reason departments may not see an increase in their department budgets is because the money simply isn't there.

According to Romano, regardless of the amount students pay each year in course fees, the coll~e makes no money from them. Tuition, fees and other sources ofrevenue cover only approximately 60 to 65 percent of the cost of educating Cabrini students. The rest must come from benefactors and other outside sources, he said.

Mathanxiety:

Nearly every department at Cabrini, from biology to education, charges fees for specified courses. While the reasons for these fees vary, most fees cover the cost of using, repairing and replacing departmental equipment and supplies.

"Lab fees cover the cost of materials for the lab, like microscopes, animals and chemicals," Anna Kruse, chairperson, biology department, said. "Fees are also pu_ttoward repairing and replacing lab equipment and supplies," she said.

• "The idea of language fees is to cover the cost of tapes that have to be purchased," Hennigan said. "Every time we change books, we change tapes. When we do that, additional copies of the tapes must be made," she said.

Education majors must pay fees for specified courses as well. According to Judy Webber, secretary, education, these fees, which are charged during sophomore, junior and senior field experience courses, cover the cost of materials in the education resource center which may be needed in lesson planning or other projects.

Webber also said that education majors are charged an additional testing fee• 'l take the National Teacher's Exam. This test is required to be taken by all education majors.

Students are not charged for the test until it is administered.

Student opinions toward course fees vary. Some aren't even aware that they are payin~ fees for courses such as language or computer science. Many see the need for course fees but only for certain courses. Others think course fees should be restricted to specific majors or included in overall tuition costs.

Relaxedatmosphereleadsto learning

by Jim Steffler

"You're nailing me to the cross, you're nailing me to the cross," Sister Mary Angelo, St. Rose of Lima elementary school, cried repeatedly while flinging herself against the blackboard in front of a fourth-grade math class.

"We were at the blackboard when I was caught cheating from this girl next to me," Kathy Hogan, sophomore, said.

Following her outburst, Angelo proceeded to gather her coat and books and walked out the door, only to leave behind an upset classroom, not to mention a terrified little girl.

For Hogan, Angelo's words of frustration have left her with a seemingly indelible anxiety-math anxiety.

Like any malady, math anxiety aftects people in varying degrees. According to Barbara Rubin, assistant director of the Center for Academic Reinforcement, this is no different from any other anxiety that human beings may feel in different situations.

"You're all too familiar with the outward signs," Rubin said, "increased heart rate, sweaty palms, pains, headaches, etc.

Maybe you've felt this way before a final exam or a 'hot date'."

Rubin noted that this is perfectly normal.

In fact, she said, it is essential.

"It's good for the person to experience anxiety at this level. It gets the person aroused, psyched-up," Rubin said.

This occurs when the brain dumps chemicals, like adrenaline, into the bloodstream. It is when the bloodstream is overflowing with these chemicals that anxiety can become harmful to the person.

Such is the case with math anxiety and, according to Rubin, it is a significant prob1em everywhere, not exclusively at Cabrini. ,The causes of this anxiety are as varied as lthe victims themselves. Besides humiliation at an early age, over-emphasis on getting the "right" answer and being forced to .work in isolation, many students have a considerable amount of time pressure to deliberate under.

Students learn soon enough that if they can't get the answer as quickly as everyone e~se,then they simply aren't good at math.

According to Sheila Tobias, well-known expert on math anxiety, "Until teachers recognize that they're handicapping stu 1 dents by forcing them to think while racing the clock, mathematics learning will-contin ue to be a fearsome and negative :experience."

"I was never told that it's all right to not understand, to ask questions and to be slow," Hogan said. "I can remember being slapped across the fingers with a pen and having chalk thrown at me for making a mistake or asking a question."

l

"If I could go back, I would survey math courses in grammar school and correct those things that the teachers did to me!"

Hogan said.

"Those teachers who make the effort to eliminate or at least reduce the number of stressful situations in their math programs will not only be helping their students to become better math learners, they'll be helping future adults to be more confident, capable math performers," Tobias said.

Last semester, a new course was offered at Cabrini. General College Math 112, in addition to General College Math 113 and 114, has been added to the curriculum.

These are taken primarily by those students wishing to fulfill a general education requirement in math.

According to Diane Szilier, lecturer of mathematics, the idea behind the 112 course is to prepare the student for the 113 course, and, at the same time, deal with the extremely anxious student who hasn't had a great deal of success.

The course is developmental. A great portion is basic- skills-oriented with some algebra involved, whereas Math 113 contains nothing beyond the elementary algebra level, and emphasizes business applications.

For Lou Monaco, sophomore, who contends that math is his worst subject, Math 112has given him some confidence that he never had before.

"Naturally, I'm not inclined toward math," onaco said. "I'm more inclined toward English and mass media. The teachers in grammar school and high school weren't willing to put forth that extra effort, unlike here at Cabrini."

Monaco still admits that ifhe didn't have to take math as a general college requirement, he wouldn't. He is content with doing average work in his math courses.

"But," Monaco said, "maybe ifI had have received that extra help earlier, I might have more initiative to go for a higher grade now."

Like many developmental courses, the success of Math 112 is measured by the amount of student participation, both in class and out of class.

"Until a student can ask for help, I don't feel that the math anxiety problem can be addressed," Szilier said. "The subject can be taught only if the student gives as much as he or she possibly can."

"I've seen a significant amount of questioning outside of class," Szilier said.

This is important"because it reflects the relaxed atmosphere that Math 112 attempts to generate, and, as Szilier pointed out, it shows that students are able to do it.

This semester Szilier is teaching Math 113. Many of the students that had Math 112 last semester are in the class. Szilier said she has noted a marked improvement. more MATH ANXIETY on 6

perspectives

Realityreported ·Not only a 'cut and to create awareness paste' major

Due to the recent influx ofletters and confusion surrounding articles publi· 1ed in the Loquitur, we, the editorial staff, have decided to face the issues head on ·rather than ignore them. We do not wish to apologize for anything that was said, Dear Editor: nor do we wish to retract anything that was printed. Instead, this editorial is It has come to our attention that many people on campus believe that senior education majors have it "easy." written with the hopes of clarifying any misconceptions held by our readers.

We live in troubled times. The social issues of today may not be pleasant, but they are important and they are real. They are important because they affect each one ofus.

Contrary to popular belief, Cabrini is the real world. The trees which hide our campus from the outside do not keep out the problems of society. Homosexuality, drug abuse, alcoholism, and birth control are all genuine concerns that many students on this campus must deal with everyday. Our fear is that many students and adults refuse to face this reality. These are the people we are attempting to reach.

As the college newspaper, it is our responsibility to keep the campus informed on all pertinent issues, good and bad. Our duty is not to judge, condemn, or advocate, but rather to report, and we feel that that is what we are doing reporting. Like any other publications, we believe in the first amendment, freedom of speech.

However,we are not saying that everyone must comply with what we publish.

We welcome letters in response to stories, letters and opinions. Controversy is good for any newspaper. Wesimply wish to clarify our reasons for the publications of certain stories. We hope that the Cabrini community will continue to read and respond when they feel strongly about an issue.

------------------------------------

Virtues.overlooked

According to these people, all we have to do is write lesson plans and play with the kids all day. Wedon't have any tests to take, papers to write, or homework to do. If only it were so easy.

Let us clear the fog that you've been in. For most of us, our day starts at six in the morning and doesn't end at four o'clock when we get home. We still have tests to make up and correct, leSSQnplans to write and homework to correct. Wedon't get breaks during the day between classes. We go straight through all day. We can't go back to our rooms and watch television or take a nap between our 9:50 and 2:10 classes.

For the past four years we've been referred to as "cut and paste" majors. This cutting and pasting is a necessary part of our work that helps us come up with stimulating and creative ideas and lessons for our students. Couldn't we say all majors have what others would consider an easier side? For example, biology majors get to play with animals, communication majors get to play on the radio and art majors get to paint all day.

There's so much more we could say, but hopefully, you get the point. Sure, it may seem that we're having a lot of fun, but isn't that the point of choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life?

If you are still confused, feel free to contact any one of us and we will gladly straighten you out. And remember, if it wasn't for a teacher, you wouldn't be where you are now.

Art theft angers student Dear Editor, It is a sad commentary when we are forced to resort to such methods as room searches to uncover stolen articles. In this, I am referring to the recent theft of two works of art from the Zodiac collection to be placed on exhibition this month.

The pieces, Scorpio and Aries, were stolen from the library during the past week. In my estimation, this action is purely a worthless theft. What gain is to be -had by the thieves?

Yet, to the artist and the exhibit itself, the loss is significant. Much value is placed

The room searches by the resident life staff have yet to uncover the works.

Because of this incident, all future exhibitions may have to be cancelled. So, let's help.

Ladies and gentlemen, please let's get these pieces back. If you have any information concerning the "misplaced" works, please contact the faculty secretary's office (ext. 310) during the working hours.

known that the poor and minorities are one and the same.

You raised the question that since contraceptives make sex relatively safe, "Will someone invent a product that keeps our emotions 'safe?"' Should we then assume that, after hearing your point of view, the companies who make them, do so to keep our emotions 'safe.' Or people who use contraceptives do so to keep their emotions 'safe.'

Finally, I would say again that the Loquitur was only reporting the facts of a reality, not only on campus, but in today's society. But maybe we should just shut our eyes and keep ourselves, 'safe' from the world?

Studentsmix wedding bellswith schoolbells

by Rhonda Dannenhower"' Going to college means coping with the pressures of being on your own and succeedin!5 academically as well as financially. .

For some students, there is also the responsibility of being married or engaged while attending college.

According to some students OI} campus, there is no need to postpone your engagement until after graduation.

"It was the right time for us. We've been seeing each other for three years," Kym Stevens,junior, said. "It was our way of showing each other how much we care and how committed to the relationship we are. I didn't want to wait any longer."

According to RoseAnn Giardina, senior, she and her fiance talked about getting married before, but she always had it in her mind tha,.tshe would graduate before getting married. They decided to get engaged instead.

Sophomore Rachael Abboud, who has been married for about a year and a half said, "We spent all the free time we had together, so we decided why wait?" · Parental support is important at this time in a students life. l •

"My parents are happy for me," Stevens said. "They don't mind, they just want to know that I'm going to finish school and not make plans before I graduate and become financially set."

"My parents are happy for us," Giardina said. "They realize that we are doing what we want and are 100 percent behind us."

Being engaged is not stressful for Stevens because she is not planning to be married until February 1989.

"There are no real p;reparations to be made yet," Stevens said. "My fiance knows that I have to get my work done because it is important to me. We don't get to see each other much, but when we do, it is quality time."

For Giardina, however, who is getting married in October 1987, the stress comes froni having to make plans and go to school attbe same time.

"It is difficult to reserve the hall, the church and make all the necessary phone calls while I'm up here," she said. ''When we are together, we have a million things to do for the 'Yeddi.n,g.': "In talking with students and being in the position once myself, I find the stress comes from balancing the roles ofbeing in school and doing the necessary school work while also working and trying to get the wedding plans together," Mary Mapes, professor, psychology, said.

On the other hand, Mapes pointed out that students who do not have al}yone are dating and trying to find someone. This can also be a stressful situation.

Loquiturwins All-American

by Rhonda Dannenhower The Loquitur was named All-American by the Associated Collegiate Press for its issues during the spring semester of 1986.

At the end of each semester, Loquitur issues are sent to the ACP for evaluation in five categories. These categories include coverage and content, writing and editing, opinion content, design, photography, art and graphics. ' According to the Associated Collegiat~ Press Newspapei: Guidebook, the ACP c<msists of a group of professional journalists and past or present advisers for top-rated publications, who serve as judges for each newspaper submitted.

Nearly 600 colleges sent their publications to the ACP to be judged last spring, Dr. Jerome Zurek, Loquitur adviser, said. They represented some of the major universities in the n,ation. · According to the ACPNG, a rating of All-American is given to those publications "which receive a First Class (very good to excellent) rating" and have also received at least four marks of distinction.

The Loquitur received marks of distinction in all of the categories except writing and editing. The total points received were 3,920 out of a possible 4,000.

"90 colleges out of the 600 were selected as All- American," Zurek said. "That puts Cabrini in the upper 15 percent of the colleges iri the nation."

The following served as editors for the 1985-86 publication ofLoquitur: Virginia Smith, editor-in-chief; Gia DiGiminiani and Michelle Bamber, co-news editors; Donna Horsley, features editor; B.J. Petracci, sports editor and Bernadette Demski, perspectives editor.

"Each year there's an improvement," Smith said. "I tend to look at it (All-American) as ·anatural progression that everyone who has ever worked on the Loquitur needs to share."

"The fact that somebody thinks you did a really good job is nice," she said.

The Loquitur has been evaluated by ACP since 1980. It has received nine first class ratings and two ratings of All- American.

Leavingthe courts behind,

by Catherine Kelley

"It's a once in lifetime thing to have a player like Fredia at this school," Terry , Mancini, women's basketball coach, said.

Fredia Gibbs, senior, crone to Cabrini with the goal ofreceiving a degree. In May, Gibbs will receive her degree in business administration, and along the way she has done much more than academic work toward her degree.

While playing basketball for the Lady Cavs, Gibbs becrune the first basketball player, male or female, to be the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics player of the week for ten weeks straight.

Gibbs also received national honors this season for scoring a record 44 points in a game. Then Gibbs broke her record by scoring 48 points in one game.

Gibbs continued to set other school records. She is the only player, male or 1 female, to have 12 steals in one game. She also holds the women's record for rebounds .(photo by G_hrisCorcoran)_· with 26 none game.

Gibbs realizes that, by playing at Cabrini, the opposition she faces on the court may not be as talented.

"I am confident ofmy athletic ability. I'm a division I player playing at a division III school," Gibbs said.

Mancini agrees. "Fredia is a winner. She won't settle for being second best," he said.

"I resigned from my job because I wanted to dedicate myself fully to basketball. I want to make the most of this season because it is my last year," Gibbs said.

After graduation, Gibbs plans to move to North Hollywood, California where she ~.. intends to put her business degree to use.

Looking back on her four years at Cabrini, Lisa Catini, senior, had a hard time deciding what the most memorable moments were. Parties at house seven and this seasons women's basketball team were at the top of her list.

This year marks Catini's fourth year on the women's basketball team and her first as a starter. Catini played an important role in the success of the team who has the best record of any women's basketball team in Cabrini's history.

"Lisa's dedication and leadership has been essential this year," Terry Mancini, women's basketball coach, said.

Catini has not limited herself to one sport during her time at Cabrini. She played both field hockey and softball, as well as basketball for Cabrini during her first three years.

Catini was judged most valuable player . for her softball ability in 1985. In addition to this award, Jhe was named All- District for the same sport. Catini was also awarded most improved basketball player along with Chris ,Federico sophomore, last season.

Catini set many goals for herself in her growth as an athlete and as a·well-rounded individual.

"The goals I had when I came to Cabrini were to become ~arter on the women's basketball team," Catini said. She added, "I also want to come out of here with a knowledge of the world and a lot of friends.

As she leaves Cabrini, Catini has set new goals. She hopes to put her business administration and marketing degrees to work in a corporation where she can work with people.

"I'd like to get into a corporation where I can work and relate to people and not just sit behind a desk," Catini said.

Lee Clowers:

by Brian Feeley The men's basketball program will bid farewell to many seniors. One such senior has been described as a silent force for Cabrini the past four years.

Tim Powell is known for his hustle and determination both on and off the court.

"He's a very determined player on the court and a great rebounder," Jim Donnelly, junior, said.

Powell is busy off the court as well Majoring in business and marketing, Powell is looking forward to graduation and a successful career. "I'd like to be well-known in the business world, and I would also like to contribute to the community," Powell said.

During his leisure, Powell likes to spend time with his girlfriend, Cassie Smith, sophomore. According to Powell, this makes up much of his day.

Although Powell is busy, his moral development is important to him.

Powell has looked to his parents as role models for what he-would like to be. "I like the way they set their values and hope I can do the same," Powell said, Looking back on his four years at Cabrini, some memories stand out more than others.

"Playing at the Palestra again was special for me, since it was where we held our high school playoffs. It was great to be able to experience that again," Powell said.

Upon leaving Cabrini, Powell will have lived through many of Cabrini's good times.

"Im going to miss all the good friendships anp. atmosphere that made us (basketball players) so close," Powell said.

As the buzzer sounded, the scoreboard read 73-60. The jubilation echoed through the gym. The home team had one. The Lady Cavs congratulated the Lady Centaurs and headed to the locker room.

"I think we had an awesome season and because of that I don't think anyone was that emotionally upset," Julie Snow, freshman, said.

Mancini said, "The locker room before the game was intense and afterwards it was much better than I thought. It was tough on Lisa and Fredia, but we'll be back next year."

"We played hard and great, but its a shame it had to end this way," Mancini said. ''The support has been super," he said.

The Lady Cavs may not have won District 19, however they have earned the respect they deserve.

Dzik said, "They have nothing to be ashamed of because this year was the best record in the school's history."

The Lady Cavs are reflecting on their season and find their entire team to be winners.

Gibbs said, "The Lady Cavs strived to be the best. There is no one individual most valuable player, we all are."

Mancini has had nothing but praise for his team all year and this was exemplified at the season's end. "I am proud to say I was associated with this team," he said.

Low-incomestudentsto pay more

by Kathleen McCabe

by Patricia A Ruppe

Perched on the doorsteps of an uncertain future, seniors will soon graduate, taking with them a college degree and memories ofll0 rolling acres in Radnor, Pennsylvania.· Approximately $40,000 has been spent on their education with no guarantee of employment given in return.

The fear ofnot getting a job tops the list ofanxieties that many soon-to-be graduates are experiencing. ''After spending all this money, what if they don't want me?" Laura Sullivan, senior, said. "I don't want to work at Acme."

Several seniors expressed concern as to whether they will like the field that they have chosen to major in in college, enough to be satisfied the rest of their lives.

"You'll never know if you're going to like your job unless you have had a previous job in the field," Kathy Hasson, senior, said. "Classwork will not tell you."

Internships provide the experience needed not only to get a job, but to choose a career dii'ection and possibly to give an intern an edge over the competition.

Trish Reilly, senior, has had internships with the Red Cross and WUSL Power 99 FM. The experience that she got from these jobs helped her to re-direct her career goals.

"I thought I wanted to go into radio broadcasting," she said, ''but after my internships I realized that I was more suited to advertising and promotion."

Reilly has also had a job in the advertising department of a newspaper. This internships made it possible for her to get her "foot in the door and make contacts," she said.

Reilly recommends students seeking an internship to take the initiative. She also advises students to take internships as early as junior year, if possible.

Michele Bamber, senior, had an internship at the Suburban and Wayne Times. Her job helped her real_izethe variety of job possibilities.

Education Secretary, William J. Bennet is pressing policy makers to institute a new type of loan program within the federal education assistance budget proposal for fiscal 1988.

The Income Contingent Loan program would allow variance of monthly repayments according to the salary earned by the graduates. Payments would range anywhere from from 3 to 15 percent of the salary earned.

According to. an article recently publish~ by the Chronicle of Higher Education, experts argued the ability o( the Education Department to install such a plan successfully.

Graduates earning higher income will seem to have to pay more but actually the lower income graduates will due to the acoruing interest of more monthly payments.

In the long run, the students who need help from pl'ograms such as these, namely, those with limited incomes throughout college, will be hurt by the ICL. The program ·will ·work against those it wants to help, experts say.

According to the article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, the Reagan Administration is viewing this proposal with a great deal of interest as it would be saving the government a great deal of money.

Bennett has said that the ICL plan is the single greatest advance in student loan procedure i~ a decade.

'I havethree creditsthat reallymean anything.Thats just becauseI plannedwell. After this, I'm going to haveto give up everything-wine, womenand partying.I haveto be responsible.ME!' -Rob Fink, senior "It helped me tobe more open minded and see that there are other jobs that I am capable of doing," Bamber said. "There are more options in the field than just being a reporter."

Cabrinis education department starts introducing its students to the work environment very early in their education.

In sophomore yea~ students start observing teachers at local schools and in senior year they start student teaching.

Lisa Nolan, senior, is at present teaching at Notre Dame High School and also tutors for CARe. "Student teaching is a major part of the preparation," Nolan said. "You can't get it from the books."

Competition in the market-place is another aspect that frightens seniors.

"I like to think that I'm the only one out there," Sullivan said. "The competition really scares me."

Several seniors feel that Cabrini's small size and dedicated faculty have benefitted them and in fact given them an edge over the competition.

"Cabrini provides you with a more personalized education," Jeff Kardos, senior, said.

"The teachers are interested in their students as compared to a major university."

Nolan sai,<,l,"C~brini is flf;xible b~t-it depends-on the person. You have to take advantage Qfwhat it offers."

• ' Nolan has taken advantage uf many programs that Cabrini has sponsored. She has taught Indian children in Arizona and worked with the poor in Appalachia through Project Outreach. This. summer she is going to Swaziland in Africa to teach math and religion. , • The teachers at Cabrinj will also be remembered by the seniors as having a very personal effect on their educati,on. ., "'Mr. Buzzard has given me a lot Qf useful advice," Rob Fink, senior, said, "and Mr. Remley taught us to be good businessmen while still having fun. He believed life shouldn't be all work and no play," After four years of preparation, are most seniors going to take it easy or_really hit the books?

t

Despite much media coveµ1geon the proposal and articles written in the Loquitur, students don't seem to have much knowledge of the P(,Oposedplan. .

"Students won't really know about this project until it affects th.em," Beth Ann Lieberman, assistant director of financial aid, said, "Then it will be too late because it will already have been put into action."

Many students were not aware of the program proposal however, after being informed, reacted with perplexity and resentme·nt.

'It seems like it (ICL)would only benefitthe students who make ~ lot of money.It soundslike a catch 22.'

-Tony Catania,senior "It would depend on the person and the job they would have," Pat McPhelim, senior, said. "Those who are fortunate enough to get a good job would not really be effected but those at the lower end of the spectrum would feel the crunch."

According to Lieberman, the ICL program would replace title four aid. Programs such as the supplemental 'Educational Opportunity Grant, college work study and the Perkins Loan program would be replaced.

"It seems like it would only benefit the students who make a lot of money," Tony Catania, senior, said. "It sounds like a catch 22."

T e re evance of having a tutoring session where everyone is involved is to generate an environment of positive reinforcement. . :•''Last imme!itey,it w~ ll}Ucl!..har.dert.o •• "It gets people to help each other," Nolan draw the particularly anxious students said. into the class,' but the participation is much greater now," Szilier said.

'I am going to haveto wear stockingsfive days a week for the rest of my life.'

-Jean McCreavy,senior "I'm going to blow my brains out," Sullivan said. "I'm working full-time and I have 12 credits."

Fink, on the other hand, said that he is going to enjoy life while he can.

"I have three credits that really mean anything," he said. "That's just because I planned well. After this, I have 'to give up everything-wine, women and partying. I have to be responsible. ME!" "I am going to have to wear stockings five days a week for the rest of my life," Jean McCreavy, senior, said.

McCreavy, who currently has 25 credits, said, "Ifl had it to do all over again I'd take my classes at a steady pace. This is ridiculous."

The biggest loss for Lisa Catini, senior, will be "losing all the friends I have made here."

"We'll never be together again in the same way," she said.

"I'll miss the closeness of the Cabrini family most of all," Nolan said. ''There's nothing like it."

Other than academics, Carter Craigie, professor of English and Communications, thinks that there are aspects of self- equcation you should know before you leave these "hallowed halls."

"Have a sense of personal ability. Know what you're good at and what you're lousy at," Craigie said, "not only in academics but in life. Know your limits. For example, how much you can drink and what is a good time for you."

To be a success in your field, according to Craigie, you should be a self-starter and take the initiative. : .,_,· "Don't wait for someone else to tell you what to do or what to think," Craigie said. "Have your own ideas." .. · . , Other falctors that cannot be a.v.eremphasized,according to Craigie, are the ability to solve problems, the ability to org~ize, the ability to persuade and argue effectively, and the ability to speak and write clearly. .

Craigie also stresges, from personal experience, the importance of reading as much as possible and being up on world affairs. He highly recommends the Christian Science Monitor and one weekly news magazine.

In conclusion, Craigie advises seniors and everyone to "treat everyone with respect but don't. be a patsy."

On May 17 the seniors will march. And like 1tor not, will have to meet the challenge and face their fears. l

This scenario is not all that uncommon, '.1-8 an estima~d two mill~on people, includ~ mg the previously mentioned people, deal with daily ~isc~nceptions. Why? Because they are epileptics.

Epilepsy is shrouded by myths of craziness. Some think that it is a disease, and others think that it is contagious. In reality, most epileptics lead perfectly normal lives except for driving, which depends on the law of the particular state. .

Mary Mulligan, school nurse, sa1~, "Ignorance is the worse enemy of it (epilepsy)."

People need to be aware of what epilepsy is and how to deal with it.

"Epileptics are normal people and they are not afraid to talk. I'm always happy to answer questions if people would just ask " Hogan said. ' ' "Itneverhaslimitedme aslhavealways led a normal life with s~rts school, and driving," Hogan said. ' According to the Epilepsy Foundation of Philadelphia, "Epilepsy is not a disease but instead a symptom of a disorder of the brain that can affect anyone, at any age, at any time."

Hogan's family has always kept a light air about her epilepsy. Her brother used to refer to her seizures as "seizure salads".

"I get so frustrated when people think it's contagious because I just· want to whip a salad out right in front of them so they realize they don't have to run into the bathroom and scrub themselves " Hogan said. ' · Kodluck has played soccer with epilepsy throughout his career at Cabrini. John Dzik director of athletics, thinks that as long' as the school and supervisors are aware then, there is no need to tell teammates.

"Other members of the team. are not made aware at Cabrini because there is no need to place the person on a pedestal,"Dzik said. "If the health service is aware, the coaches, and certainly the trainer, then that is insurance enough."

Kodluck disagrees. He thinks that his teammates should be aware of his epilepsy as well as the coach.

"My teammates should know because

I'm not al~ays with a ~8;~h: but I am with ~~e team, _Kodlucksaid. Its person~!! but its something they should know and itls up to me, not the coach, to tell them."

Epileptics face a communication problem when it comes to school. Sometimes they don't want a teacher to know so they aren't treated different, A problem arises, however, because it is a double-edged sword.

"It depends on the kinds of seizures you have whether or not you should tell a teacher," Hogan said. "My teachers don't know because I only have seizures during the night. I'm afraid a teacher would cut me a break or make it easier on me."

Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson, English and Communications, said, "I think a student should tell their teacher so that they are prepared to deal with it. I would want to know how the student would want me to handle it, for example, dismiss the class."

Mulligan points outthat, at Cabrini, it is up to t"'ieindividual student to inform their teacht -s because the school is not allowed to divl:llge the confidential medical files of the students. ·Tor the most part, epileptics make it a point to tell their close friends and roommates what to do so that if the situation ever presented itself they would know how to handle it.

Kathleen McCabe, sophomore, is Hogan's roommate this year. "Kathy told me how to deal with a seizure and what to do so I wasn't afraid of that, but I was scared

The convulsive se1~re 1s easily recognizable. Th_eperson will fall ~ t~e fl?or, lose consc10usness,. and begm Jer~mg movements of the entire body. ~he seizure should not last more than 10 minutes.

This 1s a state of unconsciousness as the person is totally unaware of their surroundings. Non-convulsive seizures may or may not be accompanied by jerking of the limbs. These seizure~ can last f~om two seconds to hours at a time depending upon the severity.

(The following information is taken from Questions and Answers About Epilepsy, Epilepsy Foundation of America)

Convulsive Seizure • Clear the area around the person of anything hard or sharp.

• Loosen ties or anything around the neck that may make breathing difficult.

• Turn the person gently onto his side.

Do NOT try to force his mouth open with any hard implement. It is not true that a person having a seizure can swallow his tongue.

• Don't hold the person down or try to stop his movements.

• Stay with the person until the seizure ends naturally.

• Be friendly and reassuring as consciousness returns.

• Most importantly, remain calm and reassure other people who may be nearby.

Non-convulsive Seizures .

• Watch person carefully and explain to others what is happening. Often people don't recognize this kind of behavior as a seizure and will think that the dazed person is drunk or on drugs.

• Speak quietly and calmly in a friendly way.

• Guide the person gently away from any danger.

Don't grab hold · because people who have this kind of seizure are on "automatic pilot."

• Stay with the person until full consciousness returns.
