Options Superthonr~.,.__ ______ opened in GER's by Catherine Kelley
Next fall, incoming freshmen who had introduction to psychology or sociology in high school will be exempt from Cabrini's own versions of those same courses. Along with this change, incoming education majors will also have more freedom of choice. Education majors who currently must take introduction to psychology before they can take their required psychology courses, will be able to choose between introduction to psychology or introduction to sociology before taking upper division courses.
'First,therewill be greater flexibilityso studentswill havechoicesespeciallyin regardsto sociology. Second,it will avoid redundancybetweenhigh school psychologyand first level psychin college.' -Dr. AnthonyTomasco, chairman,psychology
The highlight of the Superthon weekend Olympic activities was the tug-o-war held over the pond across from the gatehouse. Due muddy conditions, however, the game had to moved onto the soccer field where the junior class 'easily' defeated the competition.

According to Dr. Anthony Tomasco, chairman, psychology, this is technically not new. "The new requirements provide students with an option," he said. "Now there's a choice, you can take intro to sociology.This allows students more flexibility." Current education majors seem to agree with these new requirements. "If I took one of those courses in high school, there's no reason I would want it again," Deanna Zulli,junior, said. "I think you should be exempt from taking it again."
'I think its a good idea. I majorin math too and didn't haveto take modern college math.' -Angela Bove,senior "I think it's a good idea," Angie Bove, senior, said. "I major in math too and didn't have to take modern college math." Dr. Kathleen Daley, professor, sociology, expressed concern regarding the lack of. choice students were confronted with. "I wouldn't say there were hordes of people (complaining) but I had people come in and say they wanted to take sociology but were rostered into psychology," Daley said. Tomasco said the changes are in the best interest of all involved. "First, there will be greater flexibility so students will have choices, especially in regards to sociology," Tomasco said. "Second, it will avoid redundancy between high school psychology and first level psych in college." Tomasco also plans to have incoming freshmen who had good high school psychology or sociology courses reminded to take C.L.E.P exams.
No, Brian Fitzpatrick, senior, is not getting sick. He and a fellow senior comrade are participating in the pieeating contest. Although the freshmen did defeat the senior team in this event, that was okay because Fitzpatrick and his fellow team members got a good work-out trying to wrestle down the pie.

Takinga look at the brighter side of life Records have a side A and a side B, coins have heads and tails, and believe it or not, our pessimistic editorial that was printed in last week's issue has a flip side as well. Last week we sought out various problems. Some were less important than ,,others, but we felt that each had its point. We haven't found too many answers as of yet, but that hasn't stopped us. We have resolved to take a look at the brighter side of life (and college). •Superthon weekend turned out to be a great success. Approximately $1300 w~ raised to help fight Leukemia. The Class of 1988 won the Superthon Olympic events. •Fourteen seniors were selected as Who's Who recipients.
•Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson, English and communications, was selected as one of the top 12 journalism professors in the country. •The Theater's production of "Our Town" started out with a bang and will be performed for the next two weekends. •The Loquitur staff has only two more Monday night,deadlines. (Two more late nights, or early mornings; two more headaches; two more chocolate dinners, etc., etc., etc.) • ...And only fi~e ~ore weeks of classes. . . . There, we did it. We found some of the brighter thmgs happenmg around campus. Now it's your turn. This week, take some time to search for the happier things in life. Flip over to side B and see what it has to offer you.

Dear Editor: I think that time should be taken to thank Rita Calicat from student services ;md especially Kathy Funk and Kathy Gamble for pulling off one of the best events I've seen held at this school in years.

Dear Editor:
hours of sleep to man the infamous toll booths, etc, etc, etc. After this weekend, I feel that Cabrini hasn't totally lost its school spirit! Thanks for rejuvenating my faith in Cabrini. Congrats Kathy and Kathy!! Sincerely, Michelle Iatesta
Avid reader makessuggestions Dear Editor: I am a faithful reader of the Loquitur. I have not missed an issue in my four years at Cabrini. I found your viewpoint column in the March 27 issue very interesting. I can appreciate the work that must go into running a college newspaper. I can also appreciate the difficulty behind coming up with new stories each week. One observation I have made, however,is that Loquitur is becoming more and more like a features paper instead of a newspaper. Only having one publication a week makes it impossible to have up to the minute news. This is an understandable fact. It is not understandable, however, that the news stories that are reported are al ways the same old thing. How many times can we be expected to read about alcohol and drug abuse? Every year there is at least one issue dedicated to these stories. Some stories, i.e. convocation, graduation, health fair, etc. are expected to be an annual event but there are other areas to be investigated.
I once approached a reporter for the paper and asked if it would be possible to do a story on money waste on campus. A story along this line could open many doors for improvement. I was told that there was an uncertainty as to whether or not the paper handled such types of stories. What types are handled? · Bring back TWAC (This Week at Cabrini). This was probably one of the most valuable and most read pages in the paper. More information on jobs in the area for graduating seniors would keep the paper a little more up to date. There is so much to be covered. I fully respect your position and I don't think I could do as good of a job in the same position. I gathered from your column that you were interested in your reader's opinion. Thank you for the fine work you are doing and for keeping an open mind. Respectfully yours, A concerned reader
The other day I was driving around looking for a parking space when I saw what looked to be an ideal spot located right outside Widener's doors. With the parking lot overflowing with cars, I was ecstatic over my good fortune.Unfortunately, as I pulled up to the spot, I saw a car parked diagonally - taking up two parking spaces. At first, I thought that this was an isolated incident. However, I soon found the case to be otherwise. Over the course of the next week I saw a number of cars parked in the same way. In several instances, notes were tucked inside the car's wipers asking the owners (in less-than-polite terms) not to park that way again.

Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the article "Gynecologist Ad Causes Controversy," in the March 27 issue. As a student of Cabrini College, I find it quite disheartening that an ad placed in a newspaper would cause such controversy. Although I understand the passion which the Pro-life group feels about the questionable ad, I fail to see the right that they feel they have to pull an ad such as that. Is freedom of the press only for newspapers in public or otherwise non-Catholic institutions? Since when does any group, be it the Catholic Church or any other for

Courage admired
Dear Editor:
FranklySpeaking
I realize that the car owners parked that way to help prevent their prized possessions from being scratched or dented by other vehicles - but it's still no excuse for them to take up scarce spaces, which adds to the parking problem. Nasty and threatening notes are not enough to stop-pe<l'))lefrom continuing to park in this manner. The traffic committee should be on watch for these cars and should ticket and heavily fine people for taking up more than one parking space. Students pay a healthy sum to park here, therefore, the thoughtlessness and ignorance of others should not prevent them from doing so.
A disappointed senior yet still hopeful, Mark J. Murray
that matter, have the right to decide what should or should not go into a publication? I am not saying that everyone who reads an article has to agree with it. I am sure that everyone reading this knows the Church's views on such subjects. The mature way to deal with things we do not agree with is to take them for what they are while keeping our own beliefs. Wecan't just go around demanding retractions for things which go against our own beliefs. I applaud the Loquitur staff for standing up for what they believe in. It is this courage that makes America work the way it was originally intended to. Anonymous

Closedeyes opennew dimensions by John Dunleavy
"These dreams go on when I close my eyes, every second of the night," sings "Heart," a rock band. But just how true is this statement and what do we really know about sleep and dreaming? Many of us have common beliefs about dreamtng, but are these beliefs justified? According to William Hayter, psychologist, present evidence indicates some facts that might interest you. Supposedly, the following are truths about sleep: 1. The best preparation for a test is a good night's sleep. 2. It is wise to sleep on a big decision before making it. 3. Some problems are solved in one's sleep. 4. A glass of warm milk at bedtime promotes sleep. In addition to these truths, there are some common fallacies about sleep. For instance, research has indicated that alcohol doesn't enhance sleep and older persons don't require any more sleep than younger persons. As far as dreaming is concerned, Richard Runyon, psychologist, said, "Dreaming is a far more common occurrence than most people think. Wedream every night and we have several dreams each night." Psychology indicates that these dreams result from rapid eye movements (REM's) which have been observed as occurring about every 90 minutes. It has been proposed that this kind of sleep provides a restorative function. More specifically, if an individual doesn't receive the amount of sleep he or she needs, their body makes up for the loss with increased REM (known as REM rebound) on subsequent nights. According to Audrey Haber, psychologist, we occasionally remember a dream because the content is sufficiently arousing or frightening. In fact, these dreams occurring during REM sleep are what we refer to as nightmares. However, is it true that Freddie Krueger has returned into your "Nightmares on Elm Street?" Think about it. If you were to dream every night and your dreams picked up where they left off, then in essence, you would pe leading two separate lives. Then again, you might not have to think about it. Perhaps, you were dreaming that you just read this article.
SGA nominations:
Dollarsmakethe difference
by Anne Fahy
If you had a choice of being a Resident or Medical Assistant or being on the executive board of the Student Government Association, which would you choose? All are prestigious positions on a college campus. They are leadership roles that look good on a resume. All require dedication, responsibility and many hours of extra time. If room and board costs were free for two of the posts in exchange for the services, would that influence your decision? R.A.'s and M.A.'s receive about $2800, the cost of room and board at Cabrini, deducted from their tuition bill. Fifty candidates tried out for 11 R.A. positions and 10 vied for 2 M.A. positions. No one is running for SGA. According to Rita Calicat, director, student activities, the main reason for the lack of participation in SGA is a "fear of the amount of work and commitment required to be involved." "Students are concerned with financing their education," she said. "It is getting more and more difficult and students have to have part-time jobs." Mary Kate Grimley, senior, president of SGA, said, "People can't afford not to work, so it's either be involved or work.'' According to Jim Fitzsimmons, dean of students, the student affairs staff discussed the problem at a meeting last week. The lack of interest, they concluded, is being caused by students who are waiting to be selected for an R.A. or M.A. position, and the amount of additional time and work SGA positions require. He said that the time element of elections will have to be reviewed since students who are not selected for one of the positions come in late to SGA or run unopposed. Additionally, he said that the staff will have to "look at the positions to see ifresponsibilities are reasonable. Have we expected too much from the executive board~ He also said that leadership grants may be investigated for board members. According to Grimley, some type of tuition remission would definitely be a motivating factor for students to run for offices in SGA. Other colleges of similiar size and costs offer salaries or a tuition reduction to executive board members of SGA. Calicat said she is currently gathering information on SGA's at other schools to help Cabrini in formulating a plan. "We have to be very careful if money is offered," she said. "Will the dedication of the student be lost?" Although Grimley does agree that monetary reimbursement would increase participation, she said that self-motivation is the biggest factor in the lack of interest. "Youhave to want to make a difference," she said, "make things better. What better way than being part of student government?" "Maybe we have to get to a point where something fails. Maybe then people will pick up the reigns," Grimley said. Both Grimley and Vice-President Kathy F\.mk,junior, said that although it varies with events that are being planned, they dedicate between eight and 15 hours per week to SGA. Ata minimum wage, part-time job, that would amount to between $26 and $50 per week. Grimley said, "Eight hours is the minimum. It would be getting done just what has to be done." They said that during the planning of events, such as Superthon last week, the time ranges from 20 to 30 extra hours per week. What is sacrificed being active in SGA each said is social life and sleep. Funk said that one reason why so much time must be spent is because it is always the same small group of people organizing things over and over again. The attitude of a lot of students, she said, is "someone else will do it." Leah Cascarina, junior, said, "I've known a lot of people who have wanted to run, but they are afraid to go up against them because they think it's a popularity contest." THE INSTITUTE

She was the Editor-in-Chief of the Loquitur when the newspaper was awarded a top AllAmerican rating by the Associated Collegiate Press. Smith was also the layout editor for the yearbook. Theater was a big part of Smith's life here. Besides acting in several productions, she was the public relations coordinator for Dan Perna, former theater director, and was the assistant director of the Cabrini Summer Arts Camp, where she taught journalism and mime classes. In her freshman year she participated in Project Appalachia, visited Spain for 2 weeks with the chorus, and in her sophomore year she was selected for Project Outreach, and was sent to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to represent Cabrini and to lecture on life in America. Smith would like to combine her interests into something unusual, and her ideal job would be working for Time magazine in Spain, or doing some work as a columnist.

Indulgingin a bit of delayed Irish· merriment byDonna
Dougherty
It was surely a night when the leprechauns came out of the woodwork. No this wasn't St.Patrick's Day when the Irish have cause to celebrate (or make excuses U:celebrate).
Review~====================================== This night was really a night for Irish eyes to smile because this was the 22nd annual Irish Minstrel show put on here 'by students on Wednesday night, March 25 in the gym. This show was not your ordinary show by any far stretch of the imagination. It was a show in which even the actors laughed when they messed up their lines. The performers were lively and entertaining and the show was a hit with a full crowd in the gym. The audience and characters laughed together during the funny lines and antics of the performers. The performers mixed the dialogue and Irish songs well during the show and even threw in a little bit of country with the character of J.D., played by Mark Murray, senior. J.D. was dressed in overalls and a straw hat in contrast to almost everyone else, who dressed in Irish sweaters and green outfits. The show centered around the theme ofreligion. J.D. did not go to church and liked to bet on Sunday horse races while he drank in Mc Namara's Pub, set in a small town outside Dublin, Ireland. The townspeople who fre4uented the tavern are being split in half by those who go to church and those who are wavering in their faith. The only people who remain faithful to the church are the two leprechauns, both named Pat, who are played by sophomores, Lisa Kantor and Mary McGill. and the character Mr.Gallagher, played by senior, Mike Johnson. The priest, Fr. O'Reilly, portrayed by Mike Fallon, senior, confronts the tavern owner, MacNamara, played by Sean Meenan, senior, about going to church. He tries to convince him to go or he'll be sorry. MacNamara laughs it off. The next scene involves an American tourist, Hillary Hoch, freshman, being escorted on stage by the local travel representatives, Gallagher, and Mr. Shean, played by Bruce Kidwell, sophomore. The tourist tells the priest not to worry and she will bring the people back to the congregation. MacNamara places all last month's profits on a bet for the horse "St. Patrick." J.D., on the other hand, bets on "Red Devil." This causes the climatic ending of the race and the fate of the pub. However, another problem that is faced by the patrons is the rotten potatoes and Guiness Brewery shutting down. When Gallagher and Shean are run over by a bus and killed, the tourist is turned into God and the travel agents as angels. Johnson, as an angel was hillarious when his wings kept knocking into everyone's face and broke during the play. At the conclusion, God allows "St. Patrick" to win and for celebration he turns water into beer. The show highlighted the singing talent of Rosanne Rossello, sophomore, who sung "Irish Eyes are Smiling" and "O Danny Boy."Rossello sung clear as a bell and silenced the audience. The show had catchy lines and offbeat antics. It was highly entertaining. It also s.9owcased the Irish dancing of Meenan and Mary Meenan '86. Also, there was a group Irish dancing effort that was performed.

Lifein smallNew Englandtown portrayed by Rhonda Dannenhower Youhave to live life to love it, and love life to live it. This theme pervades Cabrini's production of the play "Our Town." "Our Town" is an American Classic written by Thornton Wilder.
ReviewF-· ============= The play takes you through the life and times of over 20 characters. In narrative form, we ·are taken back into the past through 13 years of the characters' lives. The scenery is black, therefore leaving everything up to the actors' interpretation and your imagination. The only props are a table and chairs, costumes and expressions. Yet, it is not difficult to see the kitchen of the Webb's house, or the garden tended to by Mrs. Gibbs. Although the characters lead ordinary lives, none can be left out. No matter how small their part, they add a great deal to the entire play. As mundane as their lives may seem, the interpretation and performance the actors give wraps the audience into the play. The attention of the audience is never distracted. For two hours, you sit back and partake in others' problems, and forget your own. You come away with a clearer understanding of their Iives as well as your own. "Our Town" is an inspirational play that teaches you how meaningful life is and how to appreciate it. No matter how minute and unimportant you may see your own life as being, this play makes you realize the true importance of it. Each actor in this play did an exceptional job; no one went unnoticed. Mark Murray, senior, portrays the stage manager/ narrator. His interjections bring insight to the play. Mary Elizabeth Beckett, junior, who portrays Emily Webb, brings freshness, yet maturity into her character. Carter Craigie, professor, English and communications, played an almost natural drunk. He amused and impressed the audience. "Our Town" will run for the next two weekends, April 3-5, and April 10 and 11, in the Grace Hall Theater. Admission is $3.50 for adults and $2.50 for students.

Teamworkpaysoff by Denise Brady
The 1987 women's softball season got off to a winning start in a scrimmage against the Philadelphia College of Bible. They continued their forge ahead as they won their first game against the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Monday, March 23, the Lady Cavs hosted the game against P.C.B. Although the game was officially a scrimmage due to lack of professional umpires, the Cavs still "ran the pants off them (PCB)," according to Jim Hedtke, coach. . Stefanie Blose, sophomore, scored the first run for the Cavs, and after that it was one run after another. The final score was 15-3, in favor of the Cavs. "Everybody just worked together as a team," Bruce Kidwell, sophomore, assistant coach, said. "There is a big difference in this year's team as opposed to last year's." Teamwork also played a major part in Wednesday's game against Pharmacy, which was the first official game of the season.
Led by the pitching of Judi \\ood, freshman, the Cavs coasted by Pharmacy, 9-4. The leading scorer was Mindy Wyszyski, sophomore, with three runs,followed by Linda Panetta, junior, and Annette Simone, freshman, with two runs each. Also scoring were Michele Pasquarello, senior, and Andree Jost, sophomore.
The Lady Cavs continued on their winning streak by sweeping the doubleheader against Eastern College on Saturday. The Cavs shut out the Eagles in the first game, 7-0, and then beat them again in the second _game, 6-4. With a step in the right direction, the team is optimistic about the future. "Everything is going great. We have a lot of talent, everybody is friendly, and we work well together," Wilk said. "We need fans, though. It makes a game. Having people there gives us confidence," Blose added. "We're going to win all 20 games," Hedtke said. "We're going to Nebraska for the finals!"

Recruitment process provokes.uncertainty by Jacqui McClernan
The countdown has begun as high school senior athletes and college coaches nationwide scurry to wheel and deal in the recruitment process. This process can be especially overwhelming for the high school senior. Karen Thompson is a senior at Cardinal Dougherty High School in Philadelphia. She is currently experiencing the frenzied atmosphere typically surrounding the recruited students. Presently, she is being recruited by Terry Mancini, women's basketball coach, in addition to eight other colleges of division I, II and III caliber. Mancini has been out recruiting since November, when basketball season began . "I think I have to do the leg work on this level because we don't have the scholarships to offer because on this level (division III) we base everything on financial aid," Mancini said. Mancini said that when he approached Thompson for the first time she didn't seem to realize she was being recruited. Thompson agrees that she was never prepared by her coach, Bob Bologa. "Basically, my coach did sqwat," she said. "I don't think I was prepared for the recruitment process at all because I was never told what was going to happen." '½JI he ever did for me was ask me where I wanted to go to college, and he said he would call," Thompson said. John Dzik, director of athletics, said, "Most high school coaches do an abominable job preparing students for college through counseling." Bologa views the situation differently. "I try to make it so that it is not a distraction to the student. The coaches come through me, and I edit things," he said. According to coaches, this time of the year is most frantic because no one is ready to commit. ' "Right now is the busiest time through September 10 because no one will make a commitment without a money figure," Dzik said. Thompson has yet to receive definite word on her financial aid; therefore, she has not made a final decision. Also. she has not been out to visit C?!l,ti..9i.but does plan to soon. Cabrini's philosophy of ~ecruiting according to Dzik is to recruit for the needs of a particular program. Thompson seems to fit into Mancini's plan for the 1987-88 season. "I look at what the team needs," Mancini said. ''This year we are losing a center and forward so I am looking for people to fit in the roles I'm losing." Thom'pson is a forward and could move into the program and work well, according to Mancini. Mancini said, "From what I have seen, Karen displays good leadership with her young team, and sets a good example." According to Mancini, Thompson's coach, Bob Bologa, has a great deal ofrespect for her. "He speaks highly of her help with the program, her contributions and her example to J:i.er teammates." Thompson is optimistic about Cabrini, the team and the coach. "So far everything I have seen about Cabrini I have liked," she said. ''The only thing is that Cabrini is small, but I am leaning toward there of all the division III schools." Thompson said, "My education is important to me and I think that by playing in division ill as opposed to I or II I could relax a lot more and focus on my education." Thompson also commented that she liked the idea that Mancini was interested in her and would like to have her play for Cabrini rather than having the typical "you need us attitude." When Mancini recruits he makes it a point to try and bring players from the team with him to offer another perspective. Mancini said, "It's good to bring players because there can be a void when you are talking with the student and their parents." "You don't know who you'll be playing with, and it was great to talk to players," Thompson said. As of now Thompson is at a standstill until she hears about her financial aid. When asked if she were coming to Cabrini, she said, "Honestly, money will be a deciding factor." Mancini's answer now lies in the hands of PHEAA.
