Philadelphia celebrates'We the People' by Paula Phillips It

didn't

matter what

race, color, religion, sex or age, just that one was an American. For it was Thursday, Sept. 17, 1987, Constitution Day in the United States of America. The day, gloomy, rainy, and cloudy did not stop the celebration in Philadelphia. It began with a parade at 9 a.m. of floats and thousands of marchers. The parade included three parts: 1) a re-creation of the Grand Federal Procession, the parade held in 1788 to mark the ratification of the Constitution, 2) a tribute to the five themes from the Preamble of the Constitution, and 3) a parade of America's people from labor unions, churches, schools, fraternal organizations and the like. The parade was followed by a presidential address, a flyover Independence Hall by Air National Guard Jets, a release of red, white and blue balloons and doves to signify freedom. Other events included an elite gala at the Civic Center, a great American picnic at Penn's Landing, which lasted all day, a peaceful organiud demonstration against contra-aid, and the lighting of the Benjamin Franklin Bridgefollowed by fireworks over the Delware River. At 3:15 p.m., as the clouds disappeared, Chief Justice Warren Burger, chairman of the Federal Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, presided over a ceremony in honor of the believed moment that the delegates of the 13 colonies signed the

Constitution. During the ceremony, 39 direct descendants of the signers of the Constitution reaffirmed the original momentthe Constitution was signed by signing a replica of the document. Some of the descendants of the original signers were Kathy Deegan, descendant of John Blair; Cathy Carroll, descendant of Daniel Carroll of Maryland; Judy Madison, descendant of James Madison from Virginia; Michael Castle, governor of Delware, and descendant of Benjamin Franklin from Philadelphia; and George Willis Tate, descendant of George Washington. All the descendants interviewed agreed that the weather really did not matter to the celebration because they were enjoying themselves. They were also honored to represent their descendants at this American celebration. The descendants commented on their heritage. Madison, a descendant of J runes Madison from Nashville, Tenn. expressed her feeling about being a descendant, "It is a great honor to represent my ancestor James Madison. I am very priviledged." When interviewing Tate from Irving, Ca. about the legacy of George Washington in his family, he replied, "I might be biologically related to George Washington but the Washington legacy belongs to all Americans." Children from all over the U.S., including territories such as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, pledged their support to the (::onstitution. As the "signers of the future of democracy''· they recited their own pledge

and replied, "this is my Constution." Towards the end of the ceremony Burger stood up to address the audience. As he startedhis speech he spoke of the Constitution saying, "It is. the greatest work of government that has come out of the hand of man including lawyers, merchants and farmers." He spoke of the Constitution as being a model for all democratic countries, and referred to it as, c1the beginning of the end of the divine right of kings." Burger also included in his speech the three branches of government and described how . RAl)NOR they helped the government "pull the people not push them." fOWN. 'I-I IP As he concluded his speech, Burger and the children rang a replica of the Liberty Bell. This signaled the moment that the Constitution was signed. As the bell rang at Independence Hall, so did bells across the city, country and at Americain military and diplomatic installations .:uound the world. As the shot went around the world in 1776, during the revolution for freedom, so did the bells on Thursday.

Securityand residentlifestaff worktogether by Jacqui McClernan In conjunction with the resident life staff, security is working to beef up their end of the campus watch. "Part of the additional security is to alleviate the pressure of resident assistants and keep security in direct contact with them," John Doyle, assistant director of resident life, said. On the other hand, the resident assistants have mixed feelings about the new security system which requires security to visit each RA at 9:00 p.m., and call them again at midnight. "The RA's are. on duty and that should be enough; I'm sure it is hassle for them to have to call us at midnight and check in at nine," Marie Lis, senior, said. Betsy Mahoney, senior, resident assistant, said, "I am still getting used to it but when we had a house party I had to get

in touch with security about a potential fight and they were there pretty fast." James Fitzimmons, dean of students, said, "The primary reason this started was an initiation by Cabrini and also the student leaders to meet with security to improve the communications of the campus security and resident assistants." "The guards ¥e there to exchange information with the resident assistants," Fitzimmons said. Doyle said that the guards are suppose to enter the buildings and check them individually. "We want matching reports from both departments instead of two separate angles," Doyle said. Fitzimmons said that he hopes this will provide more student interaction and communication with the security guards so students would feel more comfortable calling them if needed.

A typical night shift for security involves approximately two checks with the resident assistants; opening and closing the cafeteria for housecleaning; checking the perimeters of the Mansion and courtyard; opening and locking Widener Center, Sacred Heart Hall, and the chapel, setting ·alarms at the communications center and cafeteria; and fmally vehicle and foot patrols about five times during the night of the various dorms, houses and entire campus.

Papal paraphernalia: buy one get one free

Woman (n):an adult female human being

For 11days, what seemed li~e the biggest media blitz since LiveAid loomed over the nation. Pope John Paul II was on tour. Entrepreneurs on the lurk seized the opportunity, in a uniquely American way, to cash in on the leader of the country's-53 million Roman Catholics. The commercial mania ranged from the humorously tacky: a Beatles T-shirt take-off with pictures of Ringo, John Paul and George, to the pinnacle of distaste: Pope soap-on-a-rope and a $55, two-and-ahalf-foot high Pope look alike lawn sprinkler christened Let Us Spray. The Pope's visit to the U.S. merited media coverage. As the most widely traveled and "touchable" Pope in recent memory, he is news. But, Pope John Paul II was commercially exploited like an infallible celebrity promoting a Top 10 doctrine. Yisiting heads of state, from any country, are treated with more reverence than the leader of all Roman Catholics in all :µations. Unequivocally, the right to free enterprise is being exercised. It should be. The Church made no money from the papal Halloween masks or other paraphernalia. We hope the ingenious merchants didn't either. When the Pope visited Carmel, where Clint Eastwood is mayor, Californians pinned on a button with a picture of the Pope, arm outstretched, which said, "Go ahead. Bless My Day." Only inAmerica.

A band with insight by Christine Cocchia

T_he energy level is numbing. A surge of anxious tension overcomes the room as four of the most intense, exciting musicians take control of the stage.The air is filled with emotion as everyone jumps to their feet. I stand amongst the crowd, engrossed in what feels like some kind of religious experience, and I began to cry.My best friend turns to me and says, "Chris, what's wrong? Calm down, it's oJfay!". In fact, it was more than just "okay''. It was my first of several U2 experiences. Their rare and raw passion combined with their political, spiritual, and moral conscience makes them inspirational. To hear a band voice their concerns in hopes of reaching as many people as possible is truly commendable.

nature since he comes from a "mixed marriage"-a Protestant mother and a Catholic father. He was raised a Protestant in a country where only 10% of the population at the time was Protestant. In a sense, U2's music is a reflection of their soul. You feel their pain when they sing their songs about young men who· never L 1ake it home from war, or what it's like having fighter planes swarming over your neighborhood, or children getting caught in a crossfire on Easter Sunday, or an important black leader assassinated before he sees the results of his protests, or a young girl committing suicide because she couldn't live in a world full of so much violence, or about how drug addiction has taken over so many of Ireland's (and the world's) youth, or Bono's resentment towards Josing his mother at the age of t5. These are the songs that make me cry and make me think.

"Our goal is to inspire people to do things for themselves and to think for themselves," lead singer Bono, 28, said in an interview wilth Rolling Stone magazine. Their music does just that.

Sure U2 is a serious Irish band who may have a ten<lency to be depressing, but they are not about to turn their backs on the events in the world that affect us all iust to please a few non-believers. ,

Take songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" or "I Threw a Brick", songs that deal with the political and religious conflicts in Ireland. If anyone knows what's going on over there, it's these guys. Bono in particular is close to the songs of this

Anamaybe its naive of me to think ~hat_listening to their music is going to m~pire every~meto want to try and change t~gs, but 1t does give me something to think about and enjoy listening to.See ya at the show. ·

It is said that I should be barefoot and pregnant. But before that if I date more than one guy at a time, I'm loose. But any one of these boyfriends could be a stud. I should be subservient to my husband at all times because I'm destined to marry. If I do work, then more than likely I neglect my family. Once at work I receive a salary less than my male counterpart for no apparent reason. At work, I'm in a bad mood so naturally it is assumed that it's THAT time of the month. If the male across from me is in a bad mood, everyone treats him with kid gloves. If I have lunch with my boss, well, then, of course I'm sleeping my way to the top or having an affair. If my male counterpart does the same, he is increasing his career opportunity. If I talk to coworkers, I'm gossiping, but he is discussing the latest business deal. If I'm not at my desk, then you are sµre to find me in the ladies' room powdering my nose. But my male coworker is in a meeting. I have drink after work. This means I am an alcoholic, lush, bad example, bad wife, and horrible mother. But there goes that buddy of mine again; he has a drink because he had a stressful day. And so, the list can go on. There is a terrible double standard in our society today spanning our entire lives. A woman must always be a lady first, pillar of strength second, and successful third. Notice the order, not too successful. When we all graduate from college, the business world is overwhelming and as I hope to pursue a career in communications I must re-evaluate my decision. Women are the dominant force in this field. Therefore the salaries are dwindling -- as if we are not worth the money. •But to hell we are. Behind every good man is a wonderful woman. History speaks for itself. For a society that has "come a long way baby," I find that hard to believe. In any type of relationship it is give and take. Be it a job relationship, a courtship or a marriage, it will not work without effort.

ere IS t e ou e stan ar w c we all must live by, and then there is simple foolishness. If a woman has a job and children it is difficult. But if she has the type of husband who comes home at 5:30 p.m. expecting dinner on the table and kicking back with a newspaper forget it. If she sticks with the relationship without taking her stand then she is the fool. Perhaps I was spoiled. I think everyman should be like my father. My mother works 7:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. My father used to work 6:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. He would come home, pick my brother up, help him with homework and then proceed in preparing dinner. Now he is retired and continues these chores except now he has.happily added cleaning and food shopping to the list. My father and mother know the true concept of give and take and therefore they never suffered from a double standard within their relationship. The double standard prevails and it is up to the woman primarily to do something to change it. In the work force some women feel as if they must prove themselves as sufficient to their male coworkers. This should not be happening in 1987. When I walk in work I watch the males and females. Most are equal, others could be with effort and confidence. Having confidence is the first step in overcoming the double standard. So when I graduate and I am working full time, I may step out of the office for a few moments. When I return my boss will ask, "Jacqui where were you, and by the way where is Bob?" I will confidently answer, "I was in a meeting, but I think you may find Bob in the men's room."

Students.facing parkingdilemma by KerryGallagher

"Wanted: Legal parking space" read the headline on the front page of The Loquitur one year ago. Last year parking was a problem at Cabrini. Some changes have been made but does the problem still · exist? "Most definitely," said John Doyle, assistant director of resident life and member of the parking committee. "There is a huge parking problem, especially at Xavier Hall whe~e there are more cars than parking spots. This is the worst parking problem Xavier has ever had." In addition to Xavier, Woodcrest, a dorm full of predominantly freshmen, has a big parking problem. Susan Schwetz, freshman, said, "When I come back from visiting home on Sunday nights there is no place to park at Woodcrest, so I have to park over here (Sacred Heart lot) and carry all my stuff back in the dark." The ·houses are not exempt from the parking problem. A large number of house residents also have cars on campus yet, there are a limited number of parking spaces on Residential Boulevard. Why do residents put up with

What are some other solutions? "We used to kid that they should build a huge underground parking lot under Woodcrest, but of course we were only kidding around" Doyle said. Maria Stellabotte, senior, commuter, said, "I think they could have added parking spaces where the grass and trees are by Sacred Heart's lot. This should have been done this summer when they resurfaced the parking lot." Bruce Kidwell, junior, thinks the parking problem, particularly at Xavier, is aggravating. "Freshmen should not be allowed to have cars on campus unless they can prove the need. The only other solution I see is to build more room," he said Carol Gross, freshman, said, "I personally don't have a car but my girlfriend that does takes all of us to the bank and train station when we need to go. On this campus you are dependent on a car because everything is so far away." "I think it isthe college's responsibility to provide parking and people shouldn't try to pan it on to the freshman," she said. "I don't know that many upperclassmen and if freshmen weren't allowed to have cars I would be stuck," Gross said.

A federal grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education Office of Equal Opportunity was awarded to Cabrini for the 1987-88school year. The Act 101 program was approved in July for $27,000and the funds are to aid academically and financially disadvantaged students who meet the normal admissions requirements. "The program will help us to support students who .have needs that before the Act 101 grant couldn't be met," Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, said.

Roommates

Studentsfacingchallenges

byAngieCorbo Jack Klugman and Tony Randell starred as television's "Odd Couple" for years. The characters, Oscar and Felix, were as opposite as two people could be. Despite their differences, however, the two men found life as roommates to be tolerable, even enjoyable. Many college students have had the same experience. At first glimpse of each other, two people may think that they will never get along. By the end of the first semester, however, the two may find that they are quite compatible, and enjoy living together. Perhaps there is more than meets the eye. Stereotyping a person during a first impression is not alwaysthe most accurate way to judge a person. Having a pre-conceived idea or image about a roommate may prove to be catastrophic. Steve Pascali, junior, recalls a problem that he encountered his freshman year ,"I was worried about 'criteria' and the image of the perfect roommate," he said. Unfortunately, Pascali found that the perfect roommate was not the perfect match for him. "I requested a neat clean, respectable person, and my roommate fit that description perfectly," he said. "I should have hoped that my roommate would just be himself, not a 'perfect' image," Pascali said. "If I would have concentrated on the person instead of my ·pre-conceived notion, I think that we would have gotten along better.'' "It took me a long time to grow away from that experience and the hard feelings that I may have had but in time, I realized that the experience helped me to grow and to mature," he said.

Other common complaints freshmen have about their roommates include: limited space, personality conflicts, making compromises, lack of trust and lack of respect. Some freshmen encounter these problems because individuals are not honest on their roommate surveys, sent out by resident life office. According to Sandy Prucha, director of resident life, and John Doyle, assistant director of resident life, a great deal of emphasis is placed on the surveys that are sent to incoming students. "The surveys are not taken lightly," Prucha said. "Every element asked on the survey is taken into consideration." According to Doyle, the most important components of thesurveyare: whether a person smokes, whether a student likes to listen to music while studying and the hours that each individual keeps. Resident life adds a very personalized touch when matching roommates. "Some schools use a computer to find roommates," said Prucha. "At Cabrini we take the time to group roommates that seem to have the most similar responses on their survey sheet-s." Not only does the resident life staff put a great deal of time into placing roommates, a tremendous amount of time is devoted to selecting the most appropriate resident assistant in a respected dormitory. "We chose the best people for the spots that we have open," Doyle said. He says that his goal is to find a person that will be best for each hall. Therefore, the selection process keeps the residents in mind first and foremost. Monica Palko, senior, resident assistant, was selected for Counsel Hall. This d0rm is dominantly occupied by sophomore women. Palko feels that she was placed here because of her approach and style of motivating and leading a group. "I tend to be overpowering when I speak to a group," Palko said. "And while this approach would not be effectiv.e with freshmen, it seems to be accepted by upperclassmen." Meghan Kane, sophomore, counsel resident, feels that Palko relates well to her and her peers and serves as a good role model "We respect her because she treats us like adults," Kane said. Due to the careful placement planning of the resident life staff, most RA.'s are equipped to deal with the ruversity that exists among their residents. They have been prepared for. all types of "odd couples" from Oscar and Felix to Laverne and Shirley. Although Cabrini may be a unique college in many ways, there is one way that it is similar to most schools: it has many ·odd couples on campus, and all of them have a story to tell. 1eft Pete Bisconte, junior, has several roommate tales. "My first J"OOAJD.a~ after three weeks ...! don't know why, and my second roommate left after three semesters.'' . · Currently Bisconte is residing with Terry Smith, junior. At the present time Smith has made no plans to leave the college. ' Many college students have consented to the fact that having a roommate is a unique experience of friendship that can not be duplicated by any other type of relationship. Roommates have many anecdotes to share, both good and bad. The most important advice that juniors, Theresa Daly and Judy Krajnak, both RA.'s, offer is "that a roommate is not to be taken for granted. " Others feel that the most essential element of getting along with a roommate is to "respect the other person," female, sophomore, said. "Once you have respect, everything else should fall into place."

different characters I could hide behind them and never have to be me." Fisher took the first ,tep towards realizing her dream when, after college, she moved to New York to make it "big on Broadway." A task she soon discovered, was easier said than done. While supporting herself as an actress at night, Fisher "made rounds" daily to some 70 or 80 acting offices around the city in an attempt to make her face known to agents and producers and eventually receive a coveted "reading" for one of their plays. After two years of making rounds and waitressing during the winter months, and performing "summer stock" in suburban theaters during the summer months, F'ISber received her first big break. "I faced rejection day after day for two years until finally, I got a part in the 1953 revival of "Room Service"," she said. "I played JackLemmon's girlfriend." When the show closed a short time later, things began to shift gears for fisher, In the summer of that year, she married and moved to Philadelphia to be with her new husband. WCAU-TV had just begun producing the first live adult western out of Philadelphia. Fisher signed with the station

and had her first experience with live television. "The show ran a different story line every three weeks and I played a different character every time," she said. "I also learned a great deal about the technical aspects of acting from that experience." . of After six months "horseopera", Fisher's husband was forced overseas, and she returned to New York to "pick up" where she had left off almost one year before. "I had a really neat year when I returned to New York," Fisher said. "I had bit parts in some decent shows and some parts on television as well." It was during this time too, that Fisher played the role of Stella in the first off-Broadway production of "Streetcar Named Desire." "Tennesse Williams used to come to rehearsals and because he was a very quiet man, he used to give hints to the director to relay to the actors," she said. Fisher also recalls with delight a party Williams held for his mother during theplay'ssixmonthrun. Among the many celebrities that had been invited was the legendary MarilynMonroe. "I got to meet her and was absolutely captivated by her beauty," Fisher said. "She was flawless."

Now thatyou've registered~'°' your required courses, it's time tochoose your electives.

After the play closed, Fisher signed a contract with an acting company in Virginia. Once again however, fate intervened and halted her acting career. Fisher's husband returned home and soon after she discovered that she was expecting her first child. She bought out of her contract with the acting company and returned to Philadelphia to begin her family. Through 20 years and four children, Fisher stayed away from the theater except for an occasional directingjob at a local school or acting company. It was during these years too, that Fisher experienced a series of personal crises in her life. Health problems which left her physically impaired, and personal difficulties which left their scars on her emotionally, plummeted Fisher into a period of depression. "During this time, I struggled to find out whyI was still alive and what I was meant to do with the remainder of my life," she said. Fisher, aided by meditative devices and the writings of Fr. John Powell including Fully Human, Fully Alive and Unconditional Love, learned to use her bad experiences in a positive fashion. They became for her a stepping stone instead of a stumbling block.

"Gradually, a peace came into my life, and as I became physically stronger, I begiµi to get involved in theater · again," she said. Fisher began her "new'' acting career slowly. Beginning with film festivals and dinner theaters, she moved on to act in television commercials and offBroadway plays. Eventually, Fisher turned to teaching and directing as not only a means of continuing her acting career, but also to satisfy a strong need she felt to help others find out who they are. Fisher began teaching part-time at Cabrini two years ago, and one year later, filled the vacant position of director of the theater department. Currently, Fisher is working on the first musical production to ever be staged at Cabrini, "Charlotte's Web." In addition to producing and directing the play, she has also written the lyricsfor all of the music as well. "I hope to eventually establish credibility in the theater as a useful tool for the college," she said. "I know it will take some time, but I'm confident that it can be done."

Athleticdepartmentappointstrainer by John Dunleavy As the 1987-88 Cabrini sports teams swing into action, so does newly appointed athletic trainer, Sandy Stewart. Stewart, a second year graduate student of Temple University, was landed by John Dzilc, director of athletics. According to Dzilc, he approached Cabrini's Advisory Board, expressing the sports programs' pressing need for an athletic trainer. In the past, the availability of a trainer had been sporadic, with temporary interns holding the position,. and at times requiring injured Cabrini athletes to be examined at Villanova. After receiving approval from the Advisory Board, Dzilc proceeded to contact Dr. Torg of the University of Pennsylvania Sports Medicine, as well as Ed Quedenfield of the University of Temple Sports Medicine program. It was Quedenfield who then provided him with a couple of leads on Temple's program. As a result, Dzilc chose Stewart, making her Cabrini's part-time athletic trainer. Influencing his decision, was Stewart's past experience, coupled with her qualification as an athletic trainer. . Prior to attending Temple, she spent four years as an undergraduate at Rutgers University and one year at Haverford College through a academic program sponsered by Temple. Stewart, now a second-year graduate student at Temple, is seeking certification in the National Athletic Trainers Association graduate program. She can accomplish this by passing a test given by Temple law school. In return for her services, Stewart's tuition as well as a stipend for her living expenses are being paid. While on campus, she is expected to assist injured athletes. More specificahJ , Stewart said, "My concerns are prevention, treatment and evaluation of sports-related injuries." Dzilc is in agreement with Stewart on her job functions. "Taping, and bandaging before contests, overseeing of rehabilitation of injuries and assessing the playing capabilities of athletes," he said, are the main roles of Stewart's job. In addition, she is also expected to work along with the coaching staffs, ensuring that the athletes are properly cared for. Dzik sayshe is very happy to have a trainer and he feels that it is another step forward in tbe overall strengthening of Cabrini's Athletic Program. According to Dzilc, another plus to having Stewart around is that she will be usually be available for coverage of home events. "The coaches, students, athletes, visiting teams, and spectators at games Will have a sense of security and relief, knowing that someone qualified is able to deal with a resulting injury," Dzilc said. Stewart says that she can do a lot of good for the athletic program. llryan Gould, freshman, soccer player, is in total agreement. Newly appointed athletictrainer,Sandy Stewa,t, assistsMichael Can-afa,freshman, in "I'm more comfortable with someone around. It's great having a trainer here tapinghis ankle before practice. (photo by KevinAlexander) because she is supportive and takes a lot of the pressure away," he said. "I have to have my ankle taped for every game, and I probably wouldn't be able to play without her."

Teamdisbandeddue to.lackof interest by Ande Romano The women's cross-country team was disbanded this year due to an apparent lack of student interest. Former women's coach, Beverly Reilly, did not return to Cabrini, and a new coach has not been hired. According to John Dzilc, athletic director, a new coach was not ·selected because there is no desire among the students for the women's cross-country program. Dzik claims that the students must show an interest in an activity before a coach is hired. It is then the job of the coach to perpetuate that interest. The team lost four valuable runners this year, three of whom graduated. Tom O'Hara, coach of the men's cross-country team, was willing to assume the position of coach of the women's team on an interim basis until a new coach was found. However, due to the failure to recruit incoming freshman and an overall indifference toward women's cross-country, the college was unable to estab~sh a team with a minimum of five competitors. In fact, only two serious runners, Jeanne Robinson, senior, and Angie Corbo, sophomore, showed up for the preseason meeting during orientation week.

Dzilc will assess campus community interest in the sport, and, if interest is present, he will consider hiring a new coach. "I'm not surprised that there is no team this year. Things like this are not Robinson claims that, even ifDzilc uncommon," he said. had hired a new coach, the team would Dzilc also maintains that a club have dissipated anyway due to the absence could be formed for those interested in of interest. running which could develop into an interDzilc gave Robinson and Corbo collegiate team.

Recruiting is the key to a successful team, according to Dzilc:"You have to go out and sell Cabrini," he said. Rouuiting costs are expeDSive, however, and often a coach is forced.to spend his/her own money and time to attract possible team members. Also, there are no scholarships offered to women's cross-country team members. Both Robinson and Corbo searched for possible runners, posting notices in the freshman dorm; running an advertisement in the freshman orientation guide; as well as asking girls who occasionally run on the campus grounds.

"We are presently negotiating with a few colleges and a couple of prepschools who are interested in housing our facility," Halsch said. "The market place idea just dried up." The question that remains unanswered is who will reimburse those students who paid for a full year membership. Mike Charvala, junior, who purchased a one-year membership last S_eptember, said," I still expect to be rermbursed for the time it was closed." On this question," the two parties have not reached an agreement. Halsh, when asked who was to pay back those members, said, "Cabrini College will." However, Fitzsimmons said, "Pete Halsh should repay those people." Last September, the members signed a form releasing all claims against ATRA. The form said in part, 'applicant hereby acknowledges that in using the facilities and equipment of A TRA he or she does so entirely at his or her own risk; applicant expressly agrees that ATRA shall not be liable for any personal injuries or any loss.' A breakdown in communciation between the two parties has caused the members of A TRA ' to question who bears the responsibility. Until the differences are resolved, that question remains unanswere .
