'Standby me,'a weekendfor parents

by Roe Wellman One of the longest traditions in Cabrini College is once again upon us and a full schedule of activities is planned for the celebration of Parents Weekend.

The theme for Parents Weekend this year will be "Stand

by Me".

When asked how this theme was chosen, Rita Calicat, director of social activities said,"I -worked with Kappa Sigma Omega and we came up with a few ideas.

Then we randomly selected students and faculty and asked them to choose their favorite. I really like the theme because it seems to fit Cabrini perfectly."

On Saturday morning there will be hospitality centers in all the dorms, with coffee and donuts to welcome the arriving parents.

At 10 a.m., the float parade, whose theme is "Great

Moments in History," will begin at the athletic field. All dorms will be participating, with each designing a float pertaining to the theme.

"The theme fits right in because it is our 30th anniversary as as well as our Constitutions 200th anniversary--two great moments in history," Calicat said.

At 11 a.m., two events will be held: a family doubles tennis tournament at the tennis courts behind the mansion and a miniature indoor golf tournament in Xavier hall.

Instead of the annual soccer game, the athletic event for the weekend will be the field hockey game. This year, the Cabrini soccer team will be away at a tournament in New York.

John Dzik, the athletic director said "It's dissappointing that the soccer team won't be here but my goal as athletic director is to give each team at

least one overnight tournament.

Unfortunately that's the nature of sports."

Some students are quite upset at the scheduling. "I'm very dissappointed because parents really look forward to coming here for Parents Weekend and seeing the soccer team play. It's a tradition," Eric Ehrsman, senior, co-captain of the soccer team, said. f~w enough "There's males on this campus as it is and now they are taking half of them away. Who's going to be at the dance?" Kerry Gallagher, junior, said.

When asked about this, Dzik said,"The team will be coming back Saturday so they will be back for the dance."

Two new events are scheduled for Saturday as well.

Cabrini is working with the Arthritis Foundation in an event called Up, Up and Away. For

Changesmade to upgrade overallcampuscommunity

by Amy M. Lennon There were a great deal of changes and improvements made around campus during the summer months and still more which have yet to be completed.

These changes are the beginning of a tentative campus improvement and expansion plan.

According to James Fitzsimmons, dean of students, the soccer field was enlarged to meet requirements and the dirt patches were filled in with grass.

In addition, the soccer and field hockey teams received new goal posts and nets and a new portable, electronic, outdoor scoreboard.

Other improvements, according¡ to Mike Caranfa, director, physical plant, include new surfaces on both the basketball and tennis courts.

scheduled social activities will also be added. The number for this hotline will be, 971-8111.

The game room has been refurbished and new games added, according to Fitzsimmons.

"Fooze ball (a German soccer table game) and shuffle board are the newest games in the gameroom," Mike Feeley, sophomore, said. "They're both a lot of fun."

In the first weeks of October, a new telephone system will be installed throughout the campus as well.

"This will allow direct calls from off campus to come into the campus on any extention 24 hours a day," Fitzsimmons said.

A new electronic message board will be installed by the cafeteria and will display paid messages available through the student services offices, Fitzsimmons said.

Caranfa added that construction in the parking lot Mhind Sacred Heart Hall is the beginning of a new road that will begin at King of Prussia Road and run Transportation has been imthrough what is now the wooded area proved by upgraded van service. There are leading up to Upper Gulph Road. more hours, stops and weekend runs.

"This is a great asset to students "New dorms and buildings will eventualy fill out that road," Fitzsimmons said. "The estimated time for this tentative plan to be completed is unknown."

"There is a new sports hot-line that releases game information for the week and the scores afterward," Fitzsimmons said. "To get the information, just dial 971TEAM."

He added that another hotline that will release information on various

without cars," Fitzsimmons said.

Dorm life has been improved as well according to Caranfa.

The first floor ofWoodcrest received new carpeting and a community refrigerator and the walls in the mansion were repainted.

Joel Zazyczny, junior, commented, "I feel all the campus improvements enhance the promotion of Cabrini."

Counterpoint

Point

On being one of many Lifeas an 'only' child So maybe you have to take a number to get into the bathroom in the morning._ And when you go to get your favorite sweater on a Friday night, it's not there. Frantically trying to locate it, you see a flash of something that resembles your favorite sweater on your sister , and for the simple fact that it is your favorite sweater you repress the urge to tear it off her back.

Finally when you're ready to go out for the evening, your father says your brother has asked for the car that evening - you had it last Friday night.

Cursing your brother ( not out loud of course) and knowing his plans are not nearly as important as yours, you stomp upstairs to once again call a friend and ask if she can pick you up.

(You double check your calculations on how long it will be until you can move out; you remember the promise you made to yourself to save for your own car; you wish you were an only child.)

You're already late and when you get to the telephone your sister, who is always on it, is on it. Contorting your face and making noises that resemble something in the canine family, you make it known that you need to use the phone.

In two minutes your patience runs out. You run downstairs, pick up the other phone and wanting to yell "GET OFF THE PHONE *&#@!," you say, "Excuse me Kath,I'm sorry, I'm running a little late and need to make a phone call. Could you call Susie back in five minutes?"

Life in a family with many children resembles something like this, you learn to get along. You go out into the world better equipped to deal with and respect many personalities, be they roomates at college or collegues in the workplace. By being one of several children you've learned to take the feelings of other people into consideration. ·

You are spoiled. You don't know how to share. You get everything you want for Christmas. Every year you have yo_ur birthday party at Circus Town,the local ice skating rink, or the zoo. All your friends tell you how lucky you are and how much they wish they were in your shoes.

Funny thing is,.you haven't a clue why.

It seems the older you grow the more you value the experience of having brothers and sisters. Of course, it wasn't always fun being the one who had to follow in an older sibling's footsteps through school and have the teacher expect you to live up to his or her standard. But then again, wasn't it him who got the curfew at home extended, or at least had some pretty good excuses for you when you extended it yourself.

Being one of several children meant you never had to look for companions. You could always round up a brother or sister to play for a while. Your readymade playmates are probably the best friends you'll ever have.

More than common blood, there is an emotional bond between brothers and sisters that makes the happy times happier and the difficult times a little easier somehow.

Years from now, or maybe now, you can call your brothers and sisters whose habits you know so well, and laugh about the fun of old family vacations - and fighting in the back seat the whole way there.

On rainy days you spend your time entertaining yourself in your room. Your playmates include Barbie dolls, a various array of stuffed animals ( each dressed in your old baby clothes), and the trusting, loyal family dog. Being an only child has forced you to stretch to the outer limits of your creativity.

On your birthday your mother invites a few of your schoolmates over for cake and ice cream and games, then you open your presents. Your friends get a rude awakening when they discover that you don't get everything you want as they begin to snicker at the outfit your grandmother bought for you. You cringe as you think to yourself how much you wished you had a little sister to hand it down to, now.

And after every round of"lets play twenty questions", you curse your parents for not having 2 or 3 more kids that could have already teen-trained them for you.

While growing up you found it difficult to understand the advantages of being an only child. As a kid you questioned why your parents only had you. For some reason their answer, "you are just so special to us we don't want any more", just didn't cut it. You wished you had a big brother to protect you from the school bully who told you you smelled and stole your milk money. But you had to stick up for yourself. And you resented the fact that the family chores were your responsibility, and you had no one to blame when they weren't finished. Life seemed so unfair.

But as a teenager you begin to see there are advantages indeed. No line to get into the bathroom every morning; the phone is always open; your favorite outlit 1s in the same place you left it; and you aren't forced to wear old hand-me-downs.

Underneath the material advantages, however, lies the important and valuable When you start going out With asset, your very special relationship with your friends you realize that the word your parents. They become your best "overprotective" fits appropriately in most friends, your teachers, your confidantes.

Ycu form a parent-child bond that is situations. unlike any other kind of bond.

"What time are you coming home? Can you please be in by 10? Who else is going? Do I know her? Who's driving? Are there any chaperons?"

You answer her facetiously, "C'mon Mom, it's the PROM!"

Along with the fact that your parents become more like your friends, your close friends become more like your brothers and sisters, and the relationships are just as special and loving. ones who have reached a zone somewhere between being asleei, anJ being awake.

Parents Weekend has arrived once again at Cabrini. Preparations for the festivities and the parents arrival h:we all been completed.

As a commuter, it is always amazing to observe the reaction of the residents to the coming of their parents.

They, mainly the freshmen, always wait in anticipation to show their parents that they are making it on their own.

Accepting total responsibility of one's self away from home, and the protective care of your parents, and surviving is a great accomplishment.

But, you do not necessarily have to be away and living at college to learn to be responsible for yourself. Many people say that living away at college is the only way to get this "worthwhile experience."

I say, "Contraire!" Commuters many 0111.;r miscellaneous activities. get the same experience and then some There is also the other type oi' with all the activities they are involved in commuter, the one who lives with the folks. and managing their time to get to different Life is not always catered to us because of piaces. this arrangement.

The typical routine is: off to school home with their parents does not mean that early in the morning, early enough to the apron strings are tightly tied to them.

Some of us do have the luxuries wrestle with the morning traffic, come back of mom's meals and not bothering with the home, leave for work. Then, come back from there and do schoolwork until some cleaning and laundry. Some of us do not.

The descriptions above, of the life of a commuter, if you look closely, resemble thl\t of a resident, :ninus the morning traffic.

So, yvu see that life that is lived at l'torrie and life that is lived at college is basically tne same if you have one basic element instilled in.you. What is it you might ask?

It is the trust, independence, the judgement and the knowledge that was given to you by your parents. Yes, it all boils down to them. Without their teachings and guidance, we would not be able to handle ourselves whether residents or commuters.

So, welcome parents, we all owe you a trc.:nendous tipping of the hat!

Sr. Eileen:

Attemptsto increasevisibility oy Denise Civa

Who is Sister Eileen

Currie

M.S.C.?

This question was posed to both upperclassmen and freshmen alike.

"Does she teach?" Laurie Cappel, sophomore,asked.

Many others said that they have heard of her, but they did not know her title. Still others said they have seen her picture in the Cabrini catalog, but have never seen her in person.

"She's the president," Robyn McAnulty, freshman, said.

"President," Melissa Middleman agreed.

These last two answers are, of course, correct. Currie is President of Cabrini College and has been since 1982.

The question is why do upperclassmen know less about Currie than do the freshmen?

The reason is that Currie is trying to acquaint herself with the students and be more visible on campus this year then she has been in previous years.

For instance, she spenttwo days at leadership camp and was present at freshman orientation again this year. This is basically where most freshmen met Currie.

Others have stated that they have seen her eating in the cafeteria or walking in the library.

She is making this change in response to an evaluation done last year on her role as president of Cabrini. This evaluation, worked on by Cabrini staff members such as Dr. Mary Ann Biller, academic dean, was given out to faculty, staff and students. One main point that surfaced from this evaluation was that some people at Cabrini felt Currie's visibi_l-

ityoncampus was poor. Some students did not even know who Currie was.

Currie realizes that her visibility on campus is a problem and even though she is trying to change this, she feels it just cannot be helped.

"You live with it." Currie said.

"Some students know me on sight; it would be nice if everyone knew (who I was), but there are just so many hours in a day."

"My primary obligation," Currie said, "is to promote, enhance, and carry out the mission of the college."

She says with this fundamental responsibility lo carry out, there is little time for anything else. "Some days all I deal with are problems," Currie said.

She says that these problems, along with the board of trustees, senior staff, individual faculty members, etc., make it difficult to meet with students.

leges with other presidents, so she does not feel that this is just an individual problem.

Dingee said that Currie would like to interact more with students to correct this situation but again the demands on her are too much.

"She tries to attend as many activities as humanely possible," Dingee said.

Dingee also stated that there are some plans or proposals that Currie is thinking about for the near future that may help bring her more in contact with students. The problem with this though is not just Currie's schedule but students schedules as well.

Dingee says that Currie is doing thebestshecanwith the time shehas. Her job is very demanding, yet Currie is still trying to make progress being known and seen throughout campus.

"Students don't have a sense or her day," Gretchen Dingee, secretary to Currie, said.

"I'm not always immediately accessible," Currie, said. She says this goes for faculty as well as students.

"If there is a real need for a studentto see her (Currie), her door is open," Dingee said. "This does always mean right at that moment, but arrangements will be made."

Currie says that some students just do not know what her job entails and do not realize why she is not seen more often.

Basically, the perceptions of her and her job differ from student to student.

Currie says that she does not feel uncomfortable with these misconceptions.

She also said that she dose not really expect that all students know who she is or what she does. She says these same misconceptions and problems happen at other col-

Rumors have been floating through various departments that an academic honor code would be enforced on campus. Some professors have already begun the system.

late adolescence and early twenties, people enter a certain stage of development. Their attitude is governed by a strong sense of autonomy.¡ At this stage, one is distinguishing between the methods that one would or would not implement when child rearing.

"A lot of people at this stage in development, as a part of becoming independant, can identify what they don't like," she said.

But despite this, Preston said, "It's my belief, we become more like our parents than we say we will." She realizes that it takes more effort not be like your parents then to be like them. People may pkk up particular traits from their parents that they are completely unaware of.

But, all is not lost, Preston explained, "Any personality change is possible. It takes work. A willingness to be tuned into what you're doing."

Dean and new staff work toward successful year

PARENTS-

Welcome to Cabrini Coll~ge and ALBERT'S BOOKSTORE!

Other administrative positions were left vacant as the result of the reorganization of various offices on campus.

Of the nearly ten new administrative faces on campus, more than half are under the jurisdiction of the student services office, fueling suspicions that the staff was, and still may be, experiencing organizational and communicative problems among staff members.

According to James Fitzsimmons, dean of students and director of the student services department, the reason for so many administrative changes are varied.

"You have to go down the line and consider each case separately," he said. "Everyone had their personal reasons for leaving."

"Mary Ellen Lilly (former director of resident life) decided before I even got here that she was going to leave," he said. "She even moved off campus last year as a first step towards breaking away."

Be sure to visit us over the weekend.

Staff: Albert, Terrie, Linda, Maura, Lori, Laura, Cathy, Monica, Kathleen, and Karen.

"Beverly Reilly (former campus minister) left to pursue her doctoral work full time; Nurse Mulligan retired and Dr. Sicoli (former director of the counseling center) asked to step down from her position for personal reasons," he said.

Fitzsimmons added that changes in the organization of the campus ministry office eliminated the need for a full time chaplain. Rev. Mark Falcone, 0. Praem, D.MA., former campus chaplain, expressed no desire to return to Cabrini in any position, he said.

Fitzsimmons did not, however, completely discount the problems that student services experienced last year as a cause for the many new staff members this year.

"Things were not decided in isolation," he said. "Last year was a year of transition, a time for the staff to see the way !hat things were going and decide whether they liked the proposed changes or not."

Some of the staff, he said, realized that their career goals were not consistent with the department's goals and decided to move on.

With the year of transition behind

him,what changes has Fitzsimmons made in the organization of the department to en~;ure that staff and department go~ rem,:in intact his year? ''When the new people were hired," he said, "I fully explained the conflicts of last year and discussed with each of them the style of administration they work best under and my goals for various programs within the department."

'Last year was a year of transition, a time for the staff to see where things were going and decide whether they liked the proposed changes or not.'

-James Fitzsimmons, dean of students According to Fitzsimmons, staff meetings and social outings will be held monthly and money has been budgeted for consultants to come in and work with the staff in preparation for a staff retreat in November.

"I'm optimistic abo~t the_ r~ar ahead," Rita Calicat, social activities director, said. "Jim has worked really hard to build up the staff as a team."

"During the two-day retreat, the ;onsultant will work with the staff on team :milding exercises and problems they picked up on beforehand," he said. "It will be purely a time for us to be together."

Fitzsimmons added, "Last year, a lot of unexpected things came up that we weren't always prepared to deal with, now we have the ability to plan and we're better able to work as a team."

popular, rangingin hem from twenty-three to twenty-fiveinches in length."

The latest and smartest fall fashions, for men and women, can be seen on campus ranging anywhere from the dusty outback Austrailian look to the sophistication of the classic prep.

For the man who likes the look of elegance, French cufflinks with French cut shirts are definitely a must this season.

Kevin Corcoran, senior, said, "If I see something I like I'll get it. It has to catch my eye."

According to Kenneth Olin, sales -representative of Macys' department store, "Suspenders and braces (button on suspenders) go great with everything this fall."

"Suspenders and braces not only add a touch of class to any ensemble, but they draw less attention to the belly area, creating a slimmer look," he added.

Jim Sclafani, freshman, has an easy solution to the finding the right fashion. "I let my girlfriend pick out my clothes for me."

Gail Maguire, Casablanca modeling school student, said that the latest looks for women are natural and basic.

"Women are wearing less makeup in neutral or earthy shades this season".

Kim Hunsberger, freshman, said, "I don't like to wear a lot of eye make-up."

Hunsberger also said that she prefers earthy, basic tones for the natural look.

According to Maguire, another fashion statement for the fall is the executive look with a little feminity makes a smashing hit this fall, both in and out of the office.

"The trends this season arc "short, snappy, and sophicated," said Judy Clapper, advertising representative of Macy's. "Suede and leather skirts are

Many students here at Cabrini prefer this casuallook. Loose fitting garments of sweatshirtmaterial, for this group, is consideredcomfortable.

"I like to wear sweats around campus because they are comfortable," LauraLombard,sophomore,said.

Sandy Fillippo, salesperson of BrooksFashionssaid, "Theoversized top with a slim bottom creates a casual, yet comfortablelook for day."

'The trends this season are short, snappy and sophisticated.'

-Judy Clapper, Macy's Fillippo also said that there is a slight change in the length of skirts this season. The hem is shorter, exposing more leg.

Jill Scisly, sophomore, said, "I like the conservative, preppy look. I like to wear oversized sweaters and baggies around campus because it is comfortable."

Clapper said evening wear in luxurious velvets, satins and lace create a soft, opulent look this season.

U2 concertrocksPhilly

by Christine Cocchia

As expected, the band ( as well as the whole stadium) sang"40" as their final encore, and one by one they exited the stage. As if the concert wasn't over, the chorus of the song continued even after the lights went on and people were leaving the stadium.

The "fab four" of the decade brought their explosive rock'n roll show to JFK Stadium last Friday night. A crowd of about 100,000people came out to join in what may be the most exciting concert of recent memory.

Review____

_

U2 opened up their spectacular show with a song from their album, The Joshua Tree, ''Where The Streets Have No Name", and then ripped into "I Will Follow'' and the stadium came alive.

''When everyone sang together it was incredible because it was as if we were all joined there for one purpose- to show our appreciation of the music and to have a great time," DonnaMillilo,junior, said.

650 WC~B Playlist 9-28 to 10-4

The opening band, Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, amused the crowd, especially with their encore of "Sun City'', the protesting song about apartheid written by Little Steven.

Alternative Dead Milkmen Echo and the Bunnymen The Cure 10,000 Maniacs X Silencers

During intermission, the audience was entertained with a set of several Beatles songs, which aroused the crowd to sing along to such songs as "Love Me Do", "Can't Buy Me Love", and some other favorites. An appropriate way to get everyone prepared for the exciting e•;ening ahead.

Lead singer, Bono, unfortunately performed with his left arm in a sling due to a fall he took on the wet stage at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. the previous week. He apologized for not being able to play the guitar, so when he needed someone to play on the Curtis Mayfield song "People Get Ready'', he asked someone from the audience to play a few chords.

Along with that cover song the band also performed "Help" by the Beatles, and the biggest surprise of the night, Bruce Springsteen joined the band in their rendition of "Stand By Me". There were rumors that Bruce was seen in the vicinity, but everyone in the stadium awestruck to say the least.

U2 gave a spectacular performance at their concert in Philly on Sept. 25.

"It would have been enough to see Little Steven, but to have Bruce there was just too much to ask for!" Steve Pascali, junior, major Bruce fan, said.

Sheddinga new lighton TAMECE

by Stephanie Giardini

Her office gives off the feeling of warmth and kindness. With many books of psychology in her bookcase, and degrees showing her accomplishment on the wall, anyone entering the room would feel at ease with her knowledge. The compassion on her face would let a person know immediately that she cared.

Personof the week She is Dr. Katherine Preston, director of the counseling center. A new comer to the college who is making a positive impression on the college.

Preston was born in Michigan and grew up in Ohio. From there, she moved to live in New York City for and ten years and then on to Philadelphia, where she presently resides.

"You can say that I have the openess of a mid-westerner and the street smarts of a New Yorker," Preston said.

She graduated from Barnard College,a part of Columbia University in New York, in 1976 with a degree in English literature.

Her life's focus and direction came to a turning point during this period.

Preston became a resident assistant during her senior year. From this experience, she realized that she was interested in another field other than English.

"I wanted to do something more of a helping role with people directly to people," Preston said.

At this time, she learned that she had Hatchkins disease, an illness with the limp system. She had the disease for six years and during that time she became more dedicated in pursuing a service career to help people.

She began her pursuit at the Social Work School working with cancer patients.

She then went to the University of Pennsylvania in their cancer center.

The experience of working with the cancer patients was beneficial for both Preston and her patients. Because of her disease, she was able to communicate and comfort the patients to show that she understood and cared.

"It was a hard job to have because there were many funerals that I went to," Preston said. "I was taking too much to heart."

During her work at the cancer center of the university, she was also working on getting her masters degree in counseling psychologyform the same institution.

After her two years of work and receiving her degree at U. of P., Preston decided to expand her work with people into the area dealing with children and adolescents at the Bryn Mawr Psychotherapy Clinic.

She found this different from her

other work experiences in the psychology field. With her work at the hospital, there was less of a professional relationship and there was more intimacy with the patient.

"Here I was in an office atmosphere working mainlywith adolescents," Preston said. "I was helping them with their problems of school, home and relationships."

After two years with the clinic, Preston became the school psychologist for a school district. She dealt with grades starting with Kindergarten to 12th. She mainly went ,t o each school in the district visiting the students to test and help them with their problems.

Preston continued to expand the different areas of her field by joining the Friends Hospital, in Northeast Phliladelphia, as a staff psychologist. She worked again with adolescents as well as adults in an in-patient unit.

337-31-77

She realized that a trend was forming with concern to working with young adults.

"What attracts me to young peoplearethefacts that theyare quick and open to learn and look at their lives," Preston said. "They are easier to work with beacause they are receptive.''

She later moved on to become a part of the Psychoeducational Associates.

With this organization, she worked with people who were in accidents and stress related problems.

This work with adults reaffirmed her interest in working with young adults in college.

These years of experience brought Preston to Cabrini this past July to direct the counseling center.

"I thought I was going to like it here the first day I knew," she said.

She met part of the Cabrini community at Leadership camp this past summer to meet and get to know the students.

"I was very impressed with the students and their commitment, enthusiasm and service to Cabrini," she said.

"They are bright."

Some of Preston's responsibilities, as director of lie counseling center, consists of the refining of the TAMECE program, the OUTREACH program, and addressing individual issues.

"I would like to convey a sense of how safe it is to use the counseling center," she said. "Because Cabrini is small, people might be frightened that their privacy would not be respected."

Preston wishes to let the counseling center have a positive effect on Cabrini's community.

"I hope that students will experience the counseling center as a receptive and supportive place to come," Preston said. ''I hope to closeness ofa family, and at the same time we honor individuality," she said.

TV diet:do studentsgain or lose?

by Jenni Obrecht

Do you find yourself in front of the television every Monday night even if your homework isn't finished? Do you reach a crisis in your life if you miss "The Cosby Show?"

If so, you could consider yourself one of thousands who glue themselves to the TV. But, while this would appear to be a common ritual in many households, it is not the norm on the Cabrini campus.

The average Cabrini student watches between five and ten hours of television a week. Much of their viewing time is spent on shows that are entertaining, rather than educational.

Ande Romano, sophomore, said, "TV can be a form of relaxation for me when I have the time."

Sitcoms like "Family Ties," "Growing Pains," "Cheers," "Nigh• Court," "Moonlighting," and "The Tracey Ul,lmann Show'' rank as some of the most popular shows among Cabrini students.

Soap operas also fall under the entertainment category, but as Chris Scialio, sophomore, said, "They are just entertaining. They have no real educational value."

Television is also seen as a source of information and education for students.

Li_saRancatore, senior, recognizes the informative value of shows like "20/20" ortheevenmgnews, but she also sees prime time shows as having the potential to deliver educational messages.

An example of these educational messages is seen on the CBS drama "Cagney and Lacey" which has begun to address the issue of alcoholism by writing it into the life of one of the principal characters.

The viewing habits of many students change when school is in session. Students are forced to budget their time for school, work, and other activities. Therefore, TV often drops on the list of priorities.

This is the case with Tim Getz, sophomore, who stated, "I watch very little TV now that school bas started.''

However, the TV viewing habits of Matt Phelan, freshman have not been affected by school. Hi_~viewing diet is main!y composed of videotap~s of movies. ~helan expams, "I don't see a lot on TV that's worth sitting through the commercials.''

In all, the majority of students do not think that television interferes with their school work. According to Rancatore, homework comes before TV. However, Thomas Le Sage, freshman, believes TV can be ·educational "if you watch the riglit shows."

Foreignlanguagesopen job market

by Lisa Brzezicki Imagine yourself at an interview for the job you've been waiting for.You're tense anC:nervous, yet confident that this job's in t4e bag.

Finally, when all of the questions have been asked and the interview comes to a close, you wait fo1 those satisfying words, "Congratulations, you've got the job."

Unfortunately, you hear the unimaginable words, "I'm sorry, but we prefer that all of our employees know a second language.

Odd? Not at all in today's changing society. A growing numberofcompanies areseekingwell-rounded and better educated people. Knowing a second language can be advantageous to the thousands of job hungry college graduates who are out there.

Now you may be asking yourself questions such as: is learning a second language really all that important?, what languages are offered?, what languages are most needed? and what types of programs are available?

By looking further into the learn. ing of a second language and by getting the insights of others, we find that the answers are not far behind.

The language department, chaired by Helene Hennigan, offers Spanish, French and Italian, but is most anxious to offer other languages for interested students, according to Hennigan.

"I think that learning a second language is extremelyimportant in today's society. Itishelpfulinanycareer," she said.

French in second and Italian bringmg up the rear, according to Hennigan.

Although students generally tak~ a foreign language to fulfill a genetal education requirement, Hennigan thinks that this will change.

"Students will discover how important it is to know a second language when they begin to seek careers," Hennigan said.

The language department encourages students to add a language to their major and offers them an opportunity to study abroad.

Recently, two students took advantage of this opportunity.

Eileen Zebrowski, senior, Spanish, psychology and social work major and Andre Jost, junior, Spanish/political science major visited Spain this past summer through one of Cabrini's study abroad programs. This particular program allowed them to study in Solemanca through the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

"I fell in love with it," Jost said.

"Knowing a second language gives you something a lot of others do not have and it opens a lot of avenues."

'I think that learning a second language is extrememly important in today's society. It is helpful in any career.'

Sportstalk...

by Beth Ann Bittner As they say history repeats itself, the NFL players strike for the second time within the last five years. Of course, both sides reassure you over and over again that they don't want to strike. But in fact, as the second week of the strike rolls by, the possibilities of any negotiations remain unf orseen.

opinion The controversy this time - Free Agency. Free agency is the right of the player to sell his services in a free market as his contract expires. The players are for free agency; the owners are against free agency.

Why the big hurrah over such a little deal?

The owners claim that it is in the pride of true pro football that they stick to their guns. But this uneasy feeling inside of me tells me that they are simply protecting their cash flow.

On the other hand, you have the players. They're crying over the unfair feeling of being 'chained' to one pro league for the entirety of their playing existence. The fact that their salary will probably double or even triple is simply pennies in the bank.

Is free agency such a thing to fear?

The only fear of free agency that the players might have is the lack of it. But for the owners, it's a different story. Their fear is the fear of themselves.

Although the players have the right to sell their services in a free market, it is the owners that sway their decisions. Who wouldn't sign with the team that offered the most money?

So, maybe the owners ought to gettogether and set up some guidelines for themselves.

Guidelines that would control the animalism within the owners when it comes to bargaining for a player. Guidelines that would set a limit on the amount of money offered to an individual. This might also rid their fear of monopolization.

Well, either way, the owners and the players better get themselves together and start bargaining before their fans are totally turned away by what they call the new football - 'scab football.'

Men'scross country:

Individualsrunwitha teamconcept

by Paula Phillips The men's cross country team arrived back on campus Aug. 31 for their first pre-season training camp in the history of the team.

During the week, the team was put on a weight-lifting program; had team meetings with the coach, Tom O'l-lora, which increased team unity, and practiced twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Asked if this training camp helped the team, John Donahue, senior, captain, replied, "It helped the team a lot.

We're not just running together, our friendship and respect for each other and the coach have increased."

Pete Casazza, senior, added, "This year we (th'e team) have come together more as a team. Cur attitudes are better than last year. We are more dedicated. We are much more relaxed and we're having fun this year."

The team's goals this year are focused around this statement made by Feeley. The team members are to first

so far this year. In the Philadelphia Metro Meet, the team placed third behind Haverford and Glassboro. In the Baptist Bible Invitational, the team lost by one point to Gettysburg College. The team placed first in both the Alvernia Meet, the Valley Forge and the Philadelphia College of Bible meet.

'Cross country is an individual sport within a team concept.'

'This year we have come together as a team. We are more dedicated.'

Pete Casazza, senior A big change has occured for the team this year. The team has left the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and has moved up to Divison III, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

Now they are running against such teams .ts Carnegie Mellon University, Susquehanna University, Glassboro State College and Penn State University.

Mike Feeley, i;.:>phomore,said, "Crosscountryisan indh,idualsport within a team concept."

The team has attended four meets

Mike Dolan, sophomore, said, "If everyone would focus on their 'own' goals and then team goals, there is no way we should lose any meet." . Th~ te~â&#x20AC;˘s goals for this year ar~ to wm thetr region, which is one of the toughest regions on the east coast to win their divison and also, to win theh- confer-

defeated Frostburg in the NAIA in the past, but now they have to defeat them in Divison III. Donahue said, "We would like to defeat Haverford in theAllentown Invitational which the team has never done before."

Reflecting on the lost to Gettysburg at the Baptist Bible Invitational, Casazza said," It's good for a team to lose that way to a team such as Gettysburg.

It gets the team's perspectives back in place."

The seniors on the team this year: Mike Edmondson, Chris Francis, Donahue and Casazza. All are "the last of the first big recruited team" that came to Cabrini.

Casazza, in a few words, sums up their four years on the team and at Cabrini,"Through the four years, our friendships have grown. We've seen each other mature and grow stronger. This is evident through our competition. As we got stronger so did the competition."

Francis said of his four years on the team, " It has all been worth it."

Other members this year include: seniors, Jim Donnelly, and Harry Furey; Paul Magolon, junior; sophomores, Mike Dolan andJeffFranks; and freshman, Tom O'Donnell.

Studentorganization hinders intramurals

by Kelli Dougherty Intramurals at Cabrini began this week under the new leadership of Ed Broadbine, intramural coordinator.

He hopes to organize a wider variety of sports this year, but problems face Broadbine as he takes over the intramural program.

According to John Dzik, director of athletics, Cabrini offers intramurals to benefit interested students. It is up to them to organize teams. But this year, this has been a slow process.

A "Meet the Coaches" night was scheduled for Sept. 9th. The purpose was to introduce the intramural program. But the meeting was greeted with an extremely small response by the students, according to Dzik.

In addition, a softball program for the fall, consisting of three men's teams has been developed. However, only one women's team is participating.

"There is a lack of organization by the students," Broadbine said. "Without the students, I cannot really do much. lntramurals will benefit students who have interest in getting involved."

Female students' involvement in intramurals in the past has been limited and has not improved.

Harry Furey, senior, who has been involved in intramurals for three years, said, "Girls have not historically expressed an interest in intramurals."

Renee Acconciamessa, senior, would like to get involved in softball, but she assumed that softball was open only to men since the posters for new teams advertised only for male members.

Caroline Harvey and Jennifer Sass, sopho_mores,.. were interested and inquired about a women's team, but the team's status 1spendung.

Softball will consist of five, one-pitch innings, every Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2 p.m. This willalloweveryone to get involvedsince Cabrini has a lot of commuters according to Furey.

A co-ed basketball program is also in the works for later in the semester, but it is still in need of female members. Antonio McAllister, sophomore, is finding it difficult to produce co-ed basketball teams due to the lack of female participation.

"Girls are inactive," McAllister said. "Their excuses are unlimited and the majority of the females feel they can't play well enough. But this is for fun."

According to Broadbine, intramurals are offering students fun along with some competition. Winning team members will be awarded prizes, possibly tee shirts.

Other sports such as co-ed soc.cer in the winter, and possibly bowling will be included in the program this year.

Broadbine will try his hardest along with his assistant, Jill Lehman, junior, to produce an effective intramural program. Of course, this is dependent upon the student body's interest as well as the necessary organization of the new program.

Sportslineto providestatisticsfor fans

by John Dunleavy Attention: call 971-TEAM and the brand-new Cabrini sportsline should switch into automatic play.

Operated by Dennis Wise, director of sports information, the sportsline was designed to keep Cabrini sports fans updated on the progress of their teams.

John Dzilc, director of athletics, credits James Fitzsimmons, dean of students, with the suggestion.

"The sportsline idea was Jim Fitzsimmons'. They had the system when he was at the University of Loyola," Dzik said.

But just what is the sportsline?

According to Wise, Cabrini coaches are to report post-game results to

him. Then, through an answering machine at his home, a remote control box receives a message over the phone. Ideally, this message is then taken down and recorded before being transferred onto the sportsline.

Dzilc said that some of the main features of this hotline are: it provides the results of Cabrini sports games, both home and away; gives brief recaps; makes mention of noteworthy individual performances and serves as a source of information for upcoming games.

In addition, Dzilc said, "It will be especially beneficial to parents and students who are interested in teams on the road."

Of course, these forementioned features will be the end result of the

Sport Schedule

by Kristin Kroll In the best of five games, the series is tied at two games each.

Two and a half hours of diving, spiking, sprawling and rolling all over the c?urt floor has elapsed, but the Cabrini College Women's Volleyball team is still playing VIgorously.

This year's team consists of 10 hard working, dedicated members: seniors: Linda Panetta and Sue Evich, captains; sophomores: Trish Payton, Sue Westgate, Christi Courseault and Paula Phillips; and freshmen: Kathleen Rowan, Kristi Vilotti, Sue Hill and Via Karavangelos.

Gary Firestine, senior, is the assistant coach/manager with Gerry Szabo as the coach.

The girls began their training late in August with a pre-season camp lasting for six straight hours on seven consecutive days.

"It was a lot of tiring work, but in the end, I think it was worth it," Phillips said.

Overall, the extensive workouts helped to bring the team together and developed a close camaraderie between them. · This year's team has captured an upbeat attitude and a high level of motivation.

Outside of camp, Szabo has helped to bring these qualities out.

His confidence in the girls makes them want to work well both individually and as a team.

"Gerry's a great coach," Panetta said, "He's sincerely interested in each and every member of the team and really believes in us."

Support, however, isonlyonefactorthathas helped thevolleyball team defeat schools such as Franklin and Marshall College, Delaware Valley College, Eastern College and York College.

This year, individual potential has really shown through.

Courseault, Payton and Evich have mastered a strong front row with their blocking and hitting ability. Other strengths lie in the team's passing, digging, setting and defensive skills.

Although the team displayed these traits this past weekend at the Elizabetown Tournament, they lost four out of five games.

Firestine said, "They lacked the intensity and enthusiasm they usually have, but fortunately turned themselves around and beat York."
