Unplannedpregnanciesofferedoptions

by Jacqui McCleroan It is Halloween night and Jackie Mock, 20, prepares her four-year-old son to be a Ghostbuster. She is coping with being a college student as well as a mother.

Ruthann Vogt, 24,isanticipating the birth of her first child in March. She deals daily with family and friend's reactions.

Jane, 20, if not for a decision she made last year, would be seven months pregnant. She now attempts to handle the various repurcussions of an abortion.

These three women, no matter how different their circumstances, share one common bond. They all experienced the shock of an unplanned pregnancy.

Barbara Rinto, associate director of Planned Parenthood, said, "The majority of unplanned pregnancies occur in young women between the ages of 18 and 26."

In a society flanked with sexual awareness it is plain to see that college age women fall in the heart of this statistic.

Women have numerous options and agencies available to them.

The important aspect is communication with the father about these options.

A male, 25, said, "If you are there to go to bed with your girlfriend then you have to be there to help her too."

Mock was 16 and a junior in high

school when she found out she was pregnant. "First I thought about abortion but more or less I was trying to convince myself because-it was the easiest thing to do. But I couldn't do that."

She went as far as to call an abortionclinicand inquire,but no further.

"The difficult thing was that no one told me what to do because it was all my decision and that is rough on a 16-year-old."

Rinto points out how vital it is that a woman make the decision without any persuasion. "We encourage women to make their decision and then exercise it whether it entails making an appointment for pre-natal care or an abortion."

"Our job is to offer as much information as possibe and not advocate any choice as we are a pro-choice oragnization," she said. ''We want women to make the best possible decision for the status of their lives at the time, however we must have all of the information at our fingertips."

Mock was tom between adoption and keeping her child. Up until the baby was born, she was still unsure but then after giving birth her choice became evident.

"W aying the pros and the cons is difficult but he was a part of me and I couldn't give him up, maybe I am seifish," she said.

Mock's mother had heard of Cora

Counseling Services and therefore they made contact. Sister Nora Dennehy, a psychologist, heads Cora's Lifeline Program in Northeast Philadelphia.

"Sister Nora, is excellent with the program," Mock said. "I went with either my mother or the father and the support group made me realize I was not the only one."

A male, 25, said, "I would definitely go to counseling with my partner because that is a difficult time and no matter what they tell you, friends and family do not understand how it affects the two people involved."

"We saw films and girls who have been through it come back and talk," she said.

Cora primarily caters to teenage pregnancies offering support from many angles.

Dennehy said, "We attempt to find out about medical services and family involvement. After this we encourage women to stay in school and overcome or remove some of their obstacles," she said.

She added, "This can be done through housing, resources in the community and counseling."

Where Planned Parenthood elects to stay impartiai, Cora presents adoption and expects the women who come to them to know about it, but never sug-

gests abortion, according to Dennehy.

Mock also spoke ,vith Catholic Youth Services. This organization attempts to find families suitable for adoption, however Mock opted to keep her son.

Support not only comes from outside organizations but also from within.

As Mock said, "If it weren't for my parents I could have never done it. They made the difference."

However in some cases the parents are not always supportive.

"My mother acted like a maniac and that this was the worst possible thing that could happen to me," Vogt said. She added that her mother is slowly beginning to accept the unplanned pregnancy.

For Vogt the decision was cut and dry. "When I found out I was pregnant, the father's first thought was abortion, but there was no question in my mind," she said. "Abortion was out of the quest.10n and I know that after carrying a child for nine months I would never be able to give it up."

The abortion option was never considered by Vogt. "Maybe r am too stubborn or self-centered but this happened at an unexpected time in my life," she said. "I know an abortion would come back to haunt me later in life both mentally and physically."

Safe sex versussave sex Have you heard that when you sleep with someone that in actuality you are sleeping with whoever that person has had sex with in the last five to ten years.

Think about that. Even though that person is known to be monogamous and heterosexual, what do you know about his or her previous sexual partners?

So-calied casual ·sex , and very often premarital sex, are becoming an increasingly more cautious activity in these troubled times. A dark cloud looms over our society's collective heads.Not only do sexually active people have to protect themselves from an unplanned pregnancy or a case of some venereal disease, but the overwhelming possibility of contracting AIDS has become an ominous threat.

It is a known fact that AIDS does not effect the homosexual community exclusiveiy, hetc.rns~xcals can be afflicted also. Some expert.. say that it is the plague of the 80's.

It is also a known fact that people are having se~ regardless of the impending consequences it can bring with it. Therefore contraceptives are imperative.

However, contraceptives ii.ave become the topic of controversy,

especially within the Catholic community.

But isn't it about time that sex and contraceptives were discussed in open forum?

Times are changing. Our society has to be educated since premarital and casual sex exists, and so does AIDS. Safe sex is responsible sex.

Name five of your friends who have not had sex. For some this is a difficult task. To many couples, sex is an important factor to assuring that a mate is compatible before the decision of marriage is made.

However, many people treat sex with little, if any, responsibility. Nowname five more friends who are sexually active and take proper precautions.

Making love is an expression of special feelings between two consenting, responsible adults. People have sex out of wedlock, and sex is going to occur with or without the discussion of contraceptives.

It is inevitable. And people are going to have sex regardless of the AIDS epidemic, the possibility of getting pregnant, or picking up any of the various sexually transmitted diseases.

Safe sexis a necessity. People have got to learn that will all of the risks that accompany having sex, contraceptives are essential.

You might not be considered among the "coolest" of people. In fact, you might well be considered "behind the times." But, there is something in the way you carry yourself that says you hold pride in your difference.

You're not superhuman. You're not without feelings and desires either.

But you've made the seemingly out dated de.-:;.,;;ionof trying to save sex until you knowthe one you're going to marry. The fear of catching a disease probably has little to do with it.

Saving sex seems to have gone the way with bobby sox. It's out of style. On television and in the movies we've grown up on nobody ever waits. The heroes and heroines in the books we read couldn't possibly. ..And they live happily after. So why do you?

The decision stems from having pride in oneself and a sense of security, knowing you have something special to off er another person, aside from sex, that can make a relationship happy and worthwhile. You know there are many thoughtful ways to show you care for someone.

You know people save things that have value to them.

Making love is the greatest gift two people can give each other. It is an expression, not an act. This gih shouici not

be given at whim, or to compensate for some insecurity, ortofitin. It is a mutually respected, unfeigned expression of love between two people building their lives together.

You know that to even consider building a life with someone you must be physically, mentally, and emotionally attracted to them, and they to you. They must be your best friend.

Becoming that trusted friend does not happen one night at a party. It does not happen after one or two dates and a few phone calls. A good relationship is not built on sex. A bad one usually is.

Parents generally do all they can to discourage their children from engaging in pre-marital sex. Catholic parents sermonize the point. You know that to have sex is an individual decision. It is a conscious decision. Being swept up in the moment is an excuse.

Reaching "the moment" is a gradual process a person is very conscious of.

Standing up for what one believes in (when it is not the popular thought) has never been easy. It takes courage to hold onto a belief when it feels like you're standing alone.

At the risk of being rhetorical ( and uncool), you know that if it is right both ofyouwillrealizethatit is somethingworth waiting for.

A sister'sstory:littlebrother'sgrown up jacqui mcclernan

September 1985. I left for college bidding a farewell to my parents and 10year-old brother.

Back then he was naive, young and innocent. Now he is wise, a teenager, and I am sure not quite so innocent. My little brother is 13 years old. And growing up behind my back.

RobertJosephJr.(or more affectionately, Robby) is my only sibling and needless to say my favorite. We fight like cats and dogs even though I live an hour away.

As my freshman year came to a close I returned home in the summer to a different brother. Hewasabouttwo inches taller and all the more an 11-year-old.

We were sitting in my kitchen alone, my parents were down the shore.

Robby came out with some shocking questions. "Jacqui, what is sex," he said.

"The kids in school talk about it and use some other words I really don't understand and I don't want to be uncool."

And so this innocent, naive child looked at me with those strikingly beautiful ice blue eyes. My face turned pink as my mind raced to figure out how and if I was going to answer this question.

I pondered, do I leave this one up to mom? However ,if I do that will he lose his confidence in me? Do I tell himhe is too young and allow him to learn off the

I was trying to make conversation streets? What would my mother do in this situation? How old was I when I asked with Robby. "So Rob, how are school and soccer going?" Being the man of few words these questions?

As a matter offact, I never spent God's name do you convey to a 13-year-old a complete weekend, except holidays, at that you cannot come home every weekend. home.

I long for him to call me and seek "sisterly advice", but he doesn't.

They ask what school and he tells them, "She goes to Caprini." No not Cabrini, but Caprini you know like the juice.

That is okay though because you know something? I am very proud of Robby. Why? Well, there is a Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day and even a Secretaries Day. In my life, everyday is Brother's Day. This one is for you kid.

Catholic school discipline

Kids today:

Five going on twenty-five

by KerryGallagher "Mama used to say, 'Talce your time, young man.' Mama used to say, 'Don't you rush to get old."'

These" ere the words of a popular song a few years ago.

It's not ~,1>0pular song today. Children aren't listening to "Ma111a"anymore. Children today seem to be rushing to get old.

Kids are looking and sounding older. Remember when little girls dressed in pinafores, anklets and black patent leather Mary Janes and had pigtails running down their backs. This may be a portrait of our past.

A more likely picture of a little girl today would be one with leggings, a long sweater, ~gh top snealcers and a punk haircut imitating the style of her teenage sister.

The vocabulary of little kids is growing, too.

It is becoming more extensive. Quite extensive. In fact, I can't even print some of the words my little brother's gro11pof friends use in their daily conversations.

The children of today's society are doing things earlier in their lives than those of previous ;generations.They are starting school at a much younger age. By the time they start kindergarten, a majority of them have been through at least two pre-schools, possibly more.

I don't think parents should place so much emphasis on grades and school work. I'm not saying they're m,t important but I just don't believe that they are the ·rnd-all.' I was very lucky because my parents made n:;, · go out and play after school when I was little.

They felt I had been cooped up in a classroom all day and I needed time for recreation.

Another area that children are being introducerl to at a young age are computers. More astonishingly, the Children's School here at Cabrini introduces computers to children as young as 2-1/2years-old!

This is an incredible advancement, especially considering that some Cabrini students (like me) are just being introduced to the world of computers.

In fact, as I write this story, I am only sitting down in front of an IBM for the second time in my life!

Children are being introduced to modern culture. There is a surprisingly large number of children attending plays and concerts and visiting museums. As an example, I attended a Bon Jovi concert earlier this year and I felt so old! All of the concert goers seemed to be in the age group of 10-15.

Childhood has always been looked upon as a time of innocence yet it doesn't seem that children are all that innocent anymore. Teachers are teaching their students to say 'No!' to drugs and alcohol. Some schools are even.t caching about se:\'Ual abuse. They use dolls to explain hat they mean.

I :hildren are growing up freer and more independent these days. They are being supervised less and

=~

less. A very large number of children are at home alone and unsupervised after school while their parents are at work.

This is not necessarily bad. I am just listing it as a cause. I feel so-called "latchkey'' children grow up with more responsibility and are made to feel like grown-ups sooner than other children. . .

Children are allowed to make more deC1S1ons in today's world. They choose their own clothes. The ten-year-oldboythatl babysit asks for "OP shirts" and "Bugle Boy pants" for Christmas and birthdays. When I was his age, I was only interested in toys!

Why do today's children know more? Why are parents giving them more independence and allowing their children to look and act older?

Television and the movies have a big effect on children. Kids pick up a lot from watching these media.

Because of the number of households where there is lax supervision, parents could come home to find their darlings watching R-rated movies or even X-rated movies on cable.

Advertising presents other bad ideas to kids.

Jean commercials, and thelike,portraypre-teens as sex objects. What goes through a kid's mind as he flicks through his mom's magazine and sees ads for Obsession and other such ads that are very sexually oriented? This may contribute to the reasoning of kids that they are grown-up by the time that they are a teenager.

Broken families play another part in the speed of the growing-up process. A family experiencing a divorce forces a child to go through an incredible emotional experience. As a result of a divorce, the children may have responsibilities placed on their shoulder," that they may not be ready to handle.

Single parents tend to treat their children as equal•. They spealc to them and treat them as they would anot'~eradult. Beingon a one-to-onebasiswithanadult so r .1uchcould be a cause behind the child's vocabulary e>'f)ansion.

Speaking to children in the similiar m!ffiDerof speaking to adults brings about an openness in communication. Parents are more open in today's times with their children about such things as sex and money.

I believe that many parents today expect too much from their children. They push kids to success and sometimes they push too hard. I believe this may be especially evident here around the Main Line area.

There are many parents in this area who are in professional occupations and push their children to follow in their footsteps.

While children KNOWmuchmorethesedays, whether it be about sex, money or just life in general, they really don't UNDERSTAND what it means.

They are being given a lot of information about life so early on, but they don't have the cognitive development to comprehend it all.

_______,

Kids just can't be kids anymore! ,.,.....

Spirit proposal To the Editor, In

the past Cabrini's student activities office has concerned· itself mainly with the quantity of events instead of the quality.

Weekend activities are practically non-existent. I think it would be more beneficial to forget some of the minor activities and concentrate on a major one, for instance Spring Fliug Weekend or Superthon.

We should utilize our facilities, the houses, soccer field, lecture hall, for activities. For example, why not save up for a major Superthon by having the Grease band or some other major band play in the gym.

Money could be raised as well as student awareness and participation on campus.

Student Activities, it lies in your hands to keep Cabrini's social life somewhat existant. We are already a suitcase college. Let's do something about it.

A pen flew from one aisle to another. Constant chattering could be heard. A few of the students were quite frank with their negative replies. Self control and discipline were not some of the evident qualities at this particular public school. I recently had the chance to taste a diff erenl academic world. Being part of the Catholic school system for twelve years and constantly being fed strict discipline rules, I was not prepared for such lack of disciplinary structure.

Did this lack of structure testify to a lack of learning? Not really.

Catholic school taught me many things, but they stressed one fact; a lack of discipline in a classroom setting means the children are not learning. They were referring to public schools.

Looking baclron my grade school through high school years, I began to realize a few things. Too much emphasis was placed on sitting ~p straight, keeping silent, repressmg urges to write notes, and showing the utmost respect. All of these restrictions merely stunted student creativity. How can a child's thoughtsbe iree if they are perpetually heeding io liruita~ons?

Trying to remember those things he can not do is pretty try'~g at times.

It was also true that certain unneeded restraints produced mischievous students. Their attitude was, "I'm going to do it anyway." This problem would hardly exist in a the majority of public school where restrictions are low and st.em from valid instances. You would probably not encounter certain rules in a public school: no talking in tbe halls, even between classes; no lavatory visits until your lunch period; no locker visits after hom~room, tmtil h,nch; no absences, unless death related; no wearing of non Catholic related jewelry; and no smiling at the disciplinarian.

This list is simple a sample of rules I enco:mtere<l, a total. list of rules would run into the next century.

Perhaps I am missing the point, but are these rules a necessary contribution to an environment that should be conducive to learning.

Growing up thinking t.hat chewing gum in school would land me a permanent place in hell, I was certainly not prepar~d for the atmosphere in the public school I visited. Because any tone of voice that was even slightly disrespectful won demerits in Archbishop Prendergast, Drexel Hill Pa., I held my breath when a student spoke in the . :;chool I visited. Although no demerits were issued there, by the '!nd of the day, I was an attractive shade of blue.

Catholic schooling certainly has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. A person can comment in all fairness that most CatholiG schools worry too much about rules sometimes overlooking creativity.

Students discuss relationships

by Ande Romano

'l i

"Are women fed up?" asked a front cover article in the October 10 issue of TIME magazine. According to this latest publication in the long list of antimen doctrines written by women activists, women are "fed up with the male species."

The Hite Report, which consists ofacompiled version of women's attitudes toward men, was recently published by Shere Hite, a leading woman activist.

Hite reported that 98 percent of the women studied throughout a seven year period, said that they want to make basic changes in their love relationships.

Although the statistics concerning female Cabrini students are not quite so high, there is general discontent among them.

"You almost feel like killing them," Kim Lachenmayer,junior, said. "I went out with a guy and we were supposed to get married. One day he comes to me and says he doesn't want to see me any more. He wants to go out with other people but doesn't want me to see anybody else.

Commitment is not in their vocabulary."

Becky McGinnis, junior, said "They treat you (women) like trash."

Lack of commitment and communication seem to be the general com plaints echoed by most women. Although they feel that men are capable of feeling emotion, most women believe that men cannot manifest such deep feelings.

Ed Avena, freshman, said, "When a couple is in a long relationship, the man gets scared."

"Men are brought up to be strong," a female sophomore, said. "They are taught not to open up. When they do open up, they become vulnerable."

"Women aremuchmoresensitive and can show their emotions more easily; whereas, a man would not be looked up to as a man if he opened up," she said.

Some men disagree. When asked if men are afraid of commitment, Bob Bonner, freshman, said, "No more than women."

John Dilanni, senior, said, "Commitments's okay. The only problem is that the girl always gets mad when you go out with your friends."

Most men equate expression of

emotion with a loss of control.Many fear deep commitment for this same reason.

Bonner said, "When I told my girlfriedthatlwantedto see other people, she was very hurt emotionally. She didn't understand that I still felt the same way about her. Men can detach themselves more easily."

A junior male, said, "Guys don't want to lose control by losing themselves in somebody. Men fear falling in love."

It is generally stereotyped that men are basically unemotional and non1 commital. However, according to many Cabrini men, this steroetype is unfair and untrue.

Keith Pyle, senior, said, "If a guy has been burned before, it'll be a while before he'll go out again. The typical male attitude is they don't wantto be hurt." Pyle also added that it takes a strong man to open up and that not many are willing.

Working together at a relationship is believed to be the most important factor for success.

Pyle said, "If they both work together, 75 percent of the time the relationship will be good. However, mo st of th e time, one works and the oth er one doesn't." ''We've become a pair," Lisa DiGiandomenico, sophomore, said about the relationship she has with her boyfriend.

I feel that I've gained more and become more of a whole person."

Others aren't as lucky as DiGiandomenico.

Grace Leuzzi, junior, said, "The guys that are nice already have girlfriends."

Linda Smisko, sophomore, said, "I've been lucky but it's hard to find ones that are serious and not just interested in having fun."

The maturity factor is very important in order for a relationship to work. Are men mature enough for a relationship?

Dilanni said, "When he can take on responsibility, then he can handle a relationship."

Most feel that a mature attitude from both sexe~ is crucial.

"Maturity applies to both men and women," said Kerry Gallagher, junior. "The more mature they are, the more the know about their oals, and the

Lack of enthusiasmfor new meal·plan byKerry

Gallagher

Almost 700 pages of statistics and data were compiled. A consensus was drawn, Cabrmi needed a new meal plan.

Paper work was completed, various plans were examined, and thus a new meal plan was established in September.

Posters advertised it, and news circulated about it. The re~ult: two people signed up for Cabrini's commuter meal plan.

Food surveys were distributed last year, to which 309 people, including commuters, residents, faculty, staff, and administration, responded. 54 people answered that they didn't eat meals in the cafeteria, but that they were interested in · doing so in the future.

176 respondents ( over 50%) felt a need for a different meal plan other than the one being offered last year.

One of the food plans discussed is known as "declining balance." In this plan, a sum of money is set aside to be used for food by each student. Withdrawals are

made on this sum only when the person attends a meal. Every student would have a meal or "valedine" card.

Each item or serving would be individually priced but cash registers would be needed to add each persons purchase. Then the valedine card would be punched into the computer ( or cash could still be used) and the total bill would be subtracted from the food allowance.

The pros to this system would be that no one would pay for a meal in which they did not attend. Students would be paying for each serving of each item so they would be selective about the foods they eat. The food service would know what items the students enjoy.

There would be a lot less food being wasted. Money not used at the end of the semester could be refunded. This program would be open to all students, commuters and residents alike, as well as faculty and administration. The valedine card could be used in both the Wigwam and the cafeteria.

There are anumberof drawbacks

High school students taste the college life

by Denise Civa Do you know these people?

Michael Browne, Winston Beauchamp, Paul Delaney, Jean Gallagher, ColleenHindsley, Thomas LeSage, Matthew Phelan, MaryStreleckis and Maria Vitacco.

You may have class with them, or see them on campus, but do you know anything about tliem?

If you're unaware, allnine of these students are high school seniors involved in a program called diocesan scholars. This program, conceived last year and begun this semester, allows high school seniors from diocesan schools to come to college and take courses for credit tuition free.

Dr. Mary Ann Biller, academic dean and advisor to these students, said the diocesan scholars program was a good idea for both students and Cabrini.

"It diffuses the mysteriousness of college and educationally it has a lot of benefits. It gives Cabrini visibility, but that's not the intention. It was a gesture of good will. The students are benefitting more (than Cabrini)," Biller said.

These nine students presently going to Cabrini went through a rigorous screening to be able to participate in this program. They had to be in the top 10 percent of their class to apply. They had to write a 300-500 word essay. Each student also had to go through personal interviews with a local committee compromised of the studies director, faculty from the individual high school and college faculty from the participating colleges.

The colleges included Chestnut Hill, Rosemont, Villanova, LaSalle, Neuman, Immaculata, St. Joseph's, Gwynedd-Mercy, Holy Family and Manor Junior College.

• They had to come from Philadelphia diocesan schools or Catholic private academies. These included Villa Maria, St. Pius X, Bishop Kenrick, Cardinal O'Hara, Archbishop Carroll and Monsignor Bonner.

The names of the students that made it through this selection process were given to a central committee that was made up of college deans, and study directors from the high schools. Dr. Biller was part of this committee.

"There were around 150 students who took advantage of this program," Biller said.

From here the students chose a c.umber of colleges in the area and listed them in order of preference. Every attempt was made to get a student his/her first choice, but some did not receive it.

"Cabrini was my second choice," LeSage said and Phelan confided that it was his fourth. After each student was paired with a college, an advisor at that college wouldhelp the students choose courses that fit into their schedule. Dr.Kathleen Daley, at first, was going to have the position of advisor here at Cabrini, but because she went on maternity leave, Biller took over.

The students were allowed to take one or two courses in any area that interested them. Biller suggested they take courses that were transferable to other colleges and universities. Courses that seemed to be., popular with these students included Introduction to Psychology, Introduction to Mass Media, Introduction to Spanish and Sociology.

Then the adjustment to college took place.

Most freshmen students believed it was difficult to come to college for the first time. There is so much to get used to, too much homework and not enough free time.

Imagine going to both high school and college at the same time. Think of the problems one might encounter. This is the way it is for some of the diocesan scholars.

All must juggle their work and activities between two places. Each of them must find their own way to Cabrini via car or public transportation. Despite these obstacles, there are those who truly enjoy the program.

"It's a great opportunity for those who aren't getting enough out of high school," Phelan said. "High s~hool is a nuisance."

Phelan lists advantages of the program as great opportuuity to receive credit, a greater variety of courses, the ability to start his major earlier and simply experience.

It's a chance to learn something different," Streleckis said. "It's helped me with my major."

She said before coming to Cabrini, she was unsure what her future major would be, but now after taking a Mass Media course, she feels pretty sure she will major in communications.

If all goes wellthisyear with the diocesan scholars program, Dr.Biller believes it will be implemented again next year.

"It's in its pioneer year. They ( the high school seniors) will be evaluating and we in turn will be evaluating," Biller said.

to the program. No one would be able to enter the cafeteria without their valedine card or cash and the lines for the registers would probably be horrendous.

Those who want seconds would have to go back and wait in line, again.

Students who aren't good at budgeting their money could use up their food money before the semester is over, then they would need cash to eat.

Evidently, the "cons" outweighed tl1e "pros" in many people's eyes. 232 people said "no" to the proposed "declining balance" meal plan.

In response to the surveys, a new meal plan was established this year. It was aimed at commuters.

The plan offers commuters 64 lunches for $144, and 64 dinners for $235.

If commuters who are not on the meal plan go into the cafeteria, the cost oflunch is $2.50 and for dinner, it goes up to $4.

If a commuter went into the cafeteria (for example, for lunch) every day in this manner, it would cost him

$160.60 each semester. The meal plan for this student would save him $16.60 or over six "free lunches."

So, why didn'tcommutersjumpat the offer? "I honestly don't know. We were enthusiastic. We thought it would go over well, but it didn't," Cary Burnett, assistant manager for Seller's at Cabrini, said.

"I think the meal plan is good for people who are around for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but most people aren't around for all the meals so it's easier to buy something at the Wigwam," Joanne Curry, senior said.

Barbara Stein, junior, was one of the two who signed up for the program.

She lists a variety reasons.

• ''Wigwam prices for a full meal arealotmore than $2.50. There isavariety in the cafeteria," she said. "I find I eat better, too. I'll have a salad and milk instead of chips and a soda."

Stein said that she thinks it is a great plan and would sign up for it again.

Board of Trustees

Member dies of cancer Anthony M. Renzi, M.D., member of the Board of Trustees of Cabrini College, died on Sunday, October 25, of cancer. He was 47-years-old. A member of the Board for five years, Dr. Renzi also served on the Library Committee and as chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee.

"Tony Renzi was a vital member of the Board of Trustees and unequaled as chairman of the Academic Committee," Sr. Eileen Currie, M.S.C., president, said.

"Cabrini's academic departments are better because of Tony's involvement and his mark on the college will be perpetuated through the Anthony Renzi scholarship fund being set up by his family."

Dr. Renzi expressed a sincere dedication to the interest of students and could often be seen having lunch on Fridays in the cafeteria.

"To me, he was an extraordinary human being," Dr. Mary Ann Biller, academic dean. "He was obviously very successful in a number of dimensions but what impressed me most about him was the genuine warmth and caring that he had for people and for for the faculty and students of Cabrini College."

A resident ofBryn Mawr, Dr. Renzi was well known in the Philadelphia medical profession and respected among his colleagues.

He served as chairman of the Department of Radiology at Methodist Hospital in Philadelphia and had been a clinical instructor of radiology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and an assistant professor at Hahnemann Hospital.

Renzi was awarded the "Golden Apple Award" for best teacher of the year at Hahnemann Medical Hospital in 1970.

Renzi is survived by his wife, Nancy and their two children. "Even though my encounters with him were not many, I'm astounded by the impact he made on)1le;" Biller said. "He was my kind of human being, compassionate and loving whether he was talking to his professional equals or to an elderly woman on the streets in South Philly." ''We are fortunate to have been a part of Dr. Renzi's life of service to others," Currie said. "We will also miss him dearly."

Anthony Renzi, M.D., Board of Trustees member, died on Oct. 25.

Cabrini Hospice

A little love is enough

by Roe Wellman He was in constant pain but as Sr. Loretta Palamara sat with him, dressed as a clown, he turned to her and said, "Sister, I've been in pain for so long but the time you've spent with me has been painless. Thank You." He died soon after their time together.

The beds, with the bright colored sheets of red, blue, and yellow were filled by people - special people , who will all die within the next six months. They are all fighting - fighting for their lives - but all will lose that fight.

One would have never guessed that it was part of a hospital, a unique part, completely separate and totally different. This was the Cabrini Hospice, located on the fifth floor of the Cabrini Medical Center in New York City.

Those staying in the hospice are at the ends of their ropes. "All has been tried: chemotherapy, radiation and surgery but all has failed," Palamara, the director of pastoral care, said.

One way in which the patients receive comfort is through the nursing staff however there is someone special. She has been called the "angel of mercy" by a local newspaper, she's the one with a¡quick smile and an even quicker hug. She is Sr. Loretta Palamara.

She's been with the hospice from the very beginning, back in 1979,when a different type of care was set up for those who are terminally ill.

"A place with 24 hour visitation hours for all family members where the patients won't be poked at any more," Palamara.The hospice has a living room with a color T. V ., plush, colorful chairs, a kitchen with a sink refrigerator, and microwave along with a table and chairs," she said.

"The family is animportantpartofwhatgoes on in the hospice. There is a bereavement therapist who works with the family to help them work out their grief," Palamara said. "She holds sessions so everyone can share how they feel and realize that they are not alone and that we do understand."

Losing someone can be difficult but watching them wither away to nothing can be even harder. "Here at the hospic, all that is being done is to help alleviate some of the pressure and the hurt for the patient and the family," Palamara said.

Many scenes can be observed while just visiting the hospice. One could only guess how often they are seen by the staff.

The family sittingatthetablehashardly touched their Chinese food. Other things we are on their mind.

Their husband, father and friend was slowly dying in a room down the hall. He was in his last stages, wracked withpain,moaningand groaningwithagony. The end was coming but oh so slow.

"There are many stages seen here: anger, denial and finally acceptance," Palamara said. ¡ Martha, a middle aged woman with thinning brown hair and intense brown eyes, seems to be on a rollar coaster ride. "Some days she's talkative and alert, other daysshe's a clam andunawareofwhat'sgoingonaround her," Palamara said.

Everday, two or three times a day, Palamara makes her rounds. She goes room to room talking to her patients, prayingwith them and just letting them knowshe cares. She also makes many phone calls each day to those who are at home but whom she still feels to be a part of the hospice. She even goes and visits them because they are never forgotten.

The colorful box sitting on her desk is full of index cards with names of people who have died. There are many in the box plus more hidden away on her shelf. They are always remembered because they are in her prayers plus they are remembered in the Mass held for those that died during that week.

When asked how she copes with the terminally ill, "God is my co-pilot plus I use prayer, the arts and opera which fill my life with beautiful things," she said. "The work is hard but also very gratifying."

Palamara has many favorite stories but one that says it all is about Ruth.

"A reporter was doing a story and wanted a picture of me hugging a patient because I'm known for that.Sol went over toRuth andaskedherwouldshemind if this man took a picture of us. She turned to me and said, Will it be loo much for you?' This beautiful and thoughtful woman was worried that the picture would remind me of her and get me upset after she was gone," Palamara said.

Centrex system installed

We would like to thank all those who

ALCOHOLICAWARENESSWEEK especially

Seafood USA in the Gateway Shopping Center

On Oct. 16 a new telephone system was installed at Cabrini by Bell of Pennsylvania.

The system, which is called a Centrex, enables calls from off campus to be filtered into the various offices. Instead of dialing the old telephone number, getting the switchboard and then asking for the particular extension, now it is all done directly.

The cutover from one system to another was made possible through efforts of both Cabrini and the telephone company.

Carol Horton, control supervisor at Bell of Pennsylvania, said, "Due to the cooperation of Cabrini's consultant and our marketing department it was a smooth cutover of over 200 telephone lines."

In the past, problem were created because anyone calling after 4:30 p.m. received a recording. Now they can dial anyw"hereon campus without the assistance of the operator or switchboard.

Ruth Scott, Cabrini's switchboard operator, said, "The new phone system has its problems like anything else that is new, but overall the added feature of direct dialing is an asset."

She added that various clubs and organizations on campus such as the Student Government Association (S.GA.) and the LOQUITURbenefit from the direct di.almg because of the business they do off-campus.

Then ~wnumber is 971-8100. When dialing any extension just add an eight before it. For example, security would be 971-8245 and the Wigwam would be 971-8515.

If on campus phone and dialing a number on campus the last four digits only are necessary.

Playwrightexplainsart in America

by Rosanne Rossello What living American playwright was thrown out of nearly every school he attended, including Valley Forge Military Academy and Trinity College, yet has published 25 plays and has won two Pulitzer Prizes for his work? The answer is Edward Albee, who recently gave a lecture at the University of Pennsylvania on the state of the arts today.

Albee slowly approached the podium, casually attired and chewing a piece of gum. He addressed the audience with a friendly smile and began simply with, "Hi." The group reciprocate with an affectionate chuckle.

After briefing the audience on his life as a writer, which he believes began at the age of 7, Albee explained his vision of the theatre.

"It is a mirror to people. If you don't like what you see, then change." The major problem, Albee added, is that too often "creative art and artists are asked to lie or to tell half-truths. The clear mirror is not as welcomed as the distorted, fun-house mirror."

From I,.ere,Albee led the audience through 20 years of art begiri.ning with the self-conscious 1960's to what he considers a continuallf self-censoring society.

"People have started to believe that too much self-knowledge is dangerous, so they ask actors/artists to lie," Albee said.

He then compared the artist in America to one in the USSR. "In Russia the arts are controlled from the top; in America they're controlled by the people who are just as self-censoring as Russia."

Returning to his original point, Albee asked the audience, "So what? What's the importance of the state of arts?" He approached the answer to his question via biological evolution. "Man has for a long time struggled lo discover what distinguishes him from other animals.

Some say that the fact that we are the only ones worrying about this distinction is the answer. Others suggest that we are the only ones who can think," Albee said. He added, "But of all the theories ever formulated I agree with the notion that we are the only animal that makes art.

When our tails fell off, we grew art. We invented the metaphor to define reality. We are the only animal that consciously creates. We live in one of the few societies in which we are allowed to exercise our evolution. But if the 'lie' is more important, then evolution will not have

mattered, we will not have mattered."

I want my values shaken," Albee said.

After concluding with his speech, he opened the He added, "The trouble with speaking at a univerfloor to questioning. One member of the audience asked sity is that too often I'm invited to speak to an audience that Albee what he tliought could be done by a college student already agrees with me. If there is no relationship in order to rectify the present state of the arts. between the truths that artists tell and what people see Albee stated that he found one problem with then it will no longer be possible for artists and people to communicate. Only we can censor ourselves. This is education.

"We don't begin the aesthetic education early my message to the Philistines. Please let them know." enough. Children from the time they begin kindergarten should be exposed to aesthetics," he said.

"The major problem today is that people aren't used to aesthetics. If we can create an environment in which the aesthetic experience is made aware of, then that's half the battle. Aestheticallyinformed teachers and parents are needed as well. I'm not looking for a utopia because in a utopia art will vanish," Albee said.

Continuing on the issue of education, Albee added that of all the schools he attended, the Choates schooi from which he graduated, taught him two things.

First, thatthe function of a formal education is to teach you to teach yourself about what to do after your formal education. Second,that by making a fool of yourself as frequently a possible is the best way to learn.

Here he cited instances from his own experience that took him from a state of foolishness to a heightened state of self-awareness.

Albee appeared at the University of Pennsylvania as a part of a fellowship program with PEN, a national writers' organization, of which Albee is a member. Beginning his literary career as a poet, Albee approached such noted poets and playwrights as W.HAuden and Thorton Wilder upon settling in New York's Greenwich Village.

Wilder, in particular, commented, "I've read all of these poems ...have you tried writing plays?" With this suggestion, Albee reached success even with his first play, The Zoo Story. Albee said, "This was the first time that â&#x20AC;˘ I realized I had been a playwright all along and hadn't known it." Dispelling his youthful aspirations to compose music and futile attempts at other gen res, Albee finally found his niche in life.

"Writing a play, for me, is about as close to composing as I can get," he said.

Edward Albee, playwright, addresses the audience.

Peggy Emmerich:

Seniorspreadsenergyon campus .byStep_hanieGiardini She can always be recognized on campus by her red hair and a brilliant smile.

She is a student, a leader and a friend. She is Peggy Emmerich.

Person of the Week As a senior here at Cabrini, Emmerich believes that she has grown tremendously in her four years here.

"Cabrini has given me the opportunity to use my skills to be who I am and do what I want to do," she said. "I was given the oulets on and off-campus to grow."

The activities that aided her during her four years were positions held as class_ president, resident assistant, orientation counselor and her work with student affairs.

One of the most memorable events itf--Emmerich's Cabrini' career, is her crowning as Over-all Homecoming Queen for 1987..

This came as a pleasent shock and surprise to Emmerich.

"It was a really special honor to have been nominated in my senior year from the over-all campus," Emmerich said.

"I was embarrassed, but it was neat," she said. "I must have turned 600

shades of red that night:" The home ties are very important to Emmerich. She receives much of her support and encouragement from her parents.

"My parents know that I am an independent person, so they do not hinder me in what I want to do," she said. "They are always there for me and proud of me."

It is a different atmosphere at home for Emmerich. She feels that her goals and priorities have changed and stabilized since the first day she left for her freshman year.

According to Emmerich, one of the reasons for this personal development is the experience in many areas that she received here at Cabrini.

"I feel it is a place that helped me to utilize andstrengthenmytalentsand skills," she said. "It even started new skills in me that I thought I didn't have."

Emmerich attributed much her success at Cabrini to her friends and the people around her.

"Taking the opportunity in using the resources on campus and fighting for what you want plus having fun and enjoying what you are doing is part of success," Emmerich said. "Everything is important."

A look at Springsteen's album

by Shelle Koller Not being a Bruce Springsteen fan, I wasn't sure what I would think of his latest album, "Tunnel of Love." Quite to my suprise I found it enjoyable. Its easy rhythm and btues give the album a simplistic purity, with a down-home sound.

Springsteen's songs are primarily concerned with love, but a "love that is not about exaltation or passion, but about doubt and fear, longing and uncertainity that shadow every deep feeling,every tender gesture,'' Time magazine said.

The style of "Tunnel of Love" is simple, with only an acoustic guitar, accompained by Springsteen's infamous voice.

Each song tells a story. The characters are mainly of the blue collar class; the working people of the American society struggling to make ends meet.

Springsteen, coming from a blue collar family himself,is concerned with the hardships this class of people endure.

On his last tour, "Born in the U.SA.," Springsteen donated approximatly $25,000to the poor in each city or town where he performed. Springsteen is also a leading supporter of The Vietnamn Veterns of America. · -. Steven Pascall,junior, Springsteen fan, ''likes the album a lot."

"When I listen to any Springsteen album it makes me want to dance, it makes to laugh, and it makes me want to cry," he said. "I can leam,something, or me want just have a good time and sing along." . Although "Tunnel of Love" is less commerical than the last album, "Born .in the·u .S.A.," the record sales are not affected. According to Lee Bartholomew, sales manager of Listening Booth, King of Prussia Plaza; said the songs from "The ,Tunnel of,Love'~are not top forty material. However, you may hear a few songs on the; country station. · · Gerllrd Gannon, sophomore, Delta DJ., said "'Tunnel ofLove'is definitely different from his last albums. The songs are not ones to dance to, but rather songs to listen to: According to O.M. magazine, "Bruce Springsteen is a performer who is concerned thathe communicates with the people he reaches rather than with the number of records he sells."

"Springsteen gives himself to the community. Springsteen brings out the hardships of the working class, and does this in a style all his own," Pascali said.

PREGNANCY from 1 For Jane it is not quite so easy.

She does not like to discuss the abortion.

The only time it really comes up in conversation is when she is pondering what she would be doing now if she elected to carry her baby to term. The decision was one that both she and her partner felt was right at that time in their lives. For Jane time will tell as it always does.

Rinto said, "At Planned Parenthood we believe in the educational component of every visit. If a women is pregnant she is given pregnancy options counseling right then by someone trained to discuss pre-natal care, adoptions and abortions," she said.

Rinto said that women receive a complete referral list and as mentioned before must exercise the phone call.

Planned Parenthood stresses that they will do all possible to provide information but the actual step is the individual's own.

"We would love for people to visit

us before they have intercourse," Rinto said. "It is a shame but most people come to see us after they have been sexually active for approximately one year unprotected or due to a pregnancy scare."

The consequences and alternatives must be weighed in order to reach a decision however always consult with the proper authorities as a life is nothing to play games with.

For some this right decision is adoption. Others look to abortion as their solution. Yet still others choose to raise their children.

The rewards and sacrifices are great. "Timothy is the most important part of _mylife and I have no regrets about my decision to raise him," Mock said.

To be able to comfortably say, "I have ne regrets," is truly whatone hopes to accomplish in weighing all the sides.

How to stand out of the crowd with spirit

by LaTonya Lucas Approaching

Cabrini's campus

this time of year, one can see the autumn colors of gold, orange and brown, feel the crisp, cool October breeze and hear the rustle of the leaves as they fall to the ground. Openadoor,anydoorandonecan see the various advertisements of different events on campus, feel a sense of enthusiasm and hear the conversations that allow Cabrini students to grow and prosper.

Outside of academics there are a lot of opportunities for students to become involved in activities on campus. Joel Zazycyny, junior, president of the Student Government Association, explains that not showing up to events doesn't mean that a person is not active. "Students could give their input-- be a part mentally."

Cabrini,becauseofitssize,doesn't offer its students any fraternities or sororities, but it does have various clubs, offices, sports and events that provide students with the opportunity to express themselves outside of the classroom.

Colleen Wright, freshman, admits that she did not realize how small Cabrini is. "You don't have the fraternities and sororities that you have at other schools. I think that I'm missing out on those opportunities," she said.

However, Wright also believes that due to the size of the school, students are able to stand out.

Diane Kolodzinski, public relations, agrees. According to Kolodzinski, Cabrini gives its students the opportunity to stand out from their peers and gives alumni the opportunity to stand out on the profes-

sional level because of what they received here. "Participating and becoming invalved will mean standing out," she said.

When asked, many students agreed that participating in school activities enables students to grow. "It makes you more outgoing," Becky McGinnis, junior, said. "Many people say that Cabrini doesn't have a lot to offer, well, they are not the ones who involve themselves.

Although this may be true, other people turn off-campus for entertainment.

According to Anthony Monostra, junior, students have to make Cabrini what it is. "Cabrini satisfies me and meets my needs. The tavern is local and Touche's is close by."

Basil Ingemi, junior, believes that people have got to stay on campus. "They can't alienate themselves."

Barbara Stein, junior, considers participating in school activities a learning experience. "You learn a great deal about yourself and how you interact with others."

Stein regrets that she can't participate in extra-curricular activities as much as she would like due to the fact that she's a working commuter. However, as a television studio manager, she believes that you can learn from participating.

"Sometimes you can gain more from being involved than from your classes," she said.

Attendance plays a major role in events on campus. According to James Fitzsimmons, dean of students, events should be planned and publicized well.

"Because of the small population, attendance is affected."

Fitzsimmons has noticed a

certain attitude in some students.

"People's perception of events is 'nobody goes', therefore, nobody goes," he said.

"People need to get more invalved," Ingemi said. "If they get more involved, then it ( an event) willbe more fun and if it is more fun, then it will eventually lead to more participation."

Zazycyny believes that attendance depends on the group. "Superthon was a success because we touched different groups on campus," he said.

According to Rita Calicat, director of student activities, things are measured too critically when it comes to participation. "Events are only a success if 250 show up. Not true, nottrue," she said.

Paul Samuel, senior, explains that he participates in events as much as possible, but like others, he has other responsibilities. ''I try to support Cabrini by singing on the choir, attending the dances and helping my fellow students," Samuel said.

"I could have gone anywhere, I chose Cabrini. It satisfies my needs as a student, academically and socially." However, Samuel admits that some dances are for socializing. "You can socialize in the cafeteria for free," he said.

Calicat, Fitzsimmons, and SGA, to name a few, contribute to building a positive atmosphere for students.

According to Calicat, different events are sponsored to challenge respective interests.According to Zazycyny, SGA is a role model for the student body. "Our duty is to sponsor events, be there for students and meet the needs of students," he said.

Zazycyny believt;s that the participation is great and when Cabrini is compared to a large university, the amount of participation is equal if not better according to the student ratio of participalion.

Fitzsimmons says that as one of his responsibilities, he tries to facilitate a healthy learning and living environment on campus.

'People's perception of events is 'nobody goes,' therefore, nobody goes,' -Jim Fitzsimmons, dean of students "In any community or family, there are disagreements of styles, but on the whole, Cabrini students are very receptive and supportive over all," Fitzsimmons.

Among ether things, Fitzsimmons explained that the electronic message boards were put up to bring awareness to the students and faculty of the upcoming events. A leadership conference is scheduled to identify with new leaders and explain the different leadership positions. Also the full-time staff will be attending a faculty retreat this year to get the faculty more involved.

According to Calicat, Cabrini spirit extends further than the student body. Fitzsimmons agrees.

'There are T-shirts for the faculty with a calendar of events to get them more involved so that students could see them in another role outside of the formal teaching role," Fitzsimmons said.

A traditionalfairytale with a twistof humor

by Ande Romano

"It's thrilling, exciting, very funny and absolute magic. Don't miss it," wrote Joel Seigel of ABC television. In addition to thrill and excitement, The Princess Bride creates the perfectfairy tale in which good triumphs over evil and the hero rides off into the sunset with his true love.

Movie Review ___________

_

The movie is narrated by Peter Falk, who plays the grandfather of a young boy who is home sick from school one day.As the grandson lies in bed waiting for his cheek pinching old grandfather to read him the story of The Princess Bride, he asks, "wait a minute, this isn't a kissing book is it?"

The Princess Bride is a satirical version of the perfect fairy tale. It is a story about a young girl named Buttercup who, after promising to be faithful to Wesley, her true love, is forced to marry the evil Prince Humperdink when she learns that her lover was killed by pirates.

However, Wesley was not killed and docs return for her but is angered by her unfaithfulness. In an evil plot to provoke war, the princess is kidnapped. But, ta-da, enter our hero, Wesley, the princessâ&#x20AC;˘ true love. He rescues her, of course, but not before encountering a giant, a battle of wits and many cleverly choreographed swordfights.

The movie, directed by Rob Reiner, draws its humor by poking fun at the typical story book tale. The bedridden grandson reluctantly accepts his grandfather's invitation to read him the story. As the story opens up on a country scene in which the skies are the bluest blue and the grass the greenest green, the grandson sums up the mood by saying,

"Oh brother."

The story, however, docsnotstay"mushy'' for long. The comic interludes make sure of that.

Billy Crystal, for example, ishilarious as Miracle Max, tlie aging magician who was recently fired by the evil Frince Humperdink. In one scelie, the princess' true love, Wesley, who is also our hero, is restored to life by Miracle Max because Wesley is only "almost dead." According to Max, if he were "all dead", it would be time to go through his pockets and look for loose change.

This type of quick, humorous dialogue keeps the audience giggling throughout the entire movie. It contains silly humor, some of it slapstick and some of it sharp. What other movie would have Taxi's Simka Gravis, Carol Kane, and Billy Crystal working together to make a chocolate covered miraclepill that restores life; and, after having taken the pill, the once dead person is not allowed t0 swim for at least one hour.

This movie has a little bit of everything including comedy, romance, excitement and adventure. Yes, every good movie should contain most of these items, but none of the other movies can weave everything together quite the way The Princess Bride does.

Wesley, the hero, is gorgeous; Buttercup is beautiful, and Humperdink is gross.

But isn't that the way it's supposed to be in make-believe?

So, to answer the grandson's question, "Is this a kissing story, " the answer is only if you can laugh and kiss at the same time.

This movie is for everyone. It will make the sentimental girl's eyes tear while also making the tough guy's sides ache from laughter. But be on the edge of your seat because, at any moment, the R.O.U.S.'s (rodents of unLsual size) could attack. No worry, just send Miracle Max to the scene with a remedy.

Off-campus living:

Students discuss the pros and cons

by Lee Mirenda Living off campus is an alternative more and more Cabrini students are choosing. Choices of where to live off campus may include renting an apartment or house, or boarding with a family.

A common reason for living off campus is that it is more economical than living on campus. MarkMurray('87) said that he and his roommate saved $400 to $600 a year by renting their own apartment.

Joe Anapolsky, senior, said it was cheaper to rent a house with two of his friends than to live on campus.

Besides being economically practical, living off campus can create a more responsible and independent person.

Anthony Ranoia, senior, said that by living on his own he learned how to manage his money, "I've learned about life, so when I leave, I'll know how to be on my own."

Anapolsky added, "I've learned how to cook, clean and pay bills."

The need for privacy is also a pertinent reason for living off campus.

Murray expressed his need for getting away from the campus. "A lot of my friends were 'partiers' and I was serious about school, so I needed a quiet place of my own,'' he said.

Living off campus also has its drawbacks. Murray said he sometimes missed living on campus in the middle of the day. "When I had free time between classes, I had no where to rest and relax," Murray said. He also said he sometimes missed socializing because he didn't always feel like driving back to school for activities.

Ranoia said, "If I'm here on campus and I forget something, it's basically forgotten since I can't go back to a dorm and get it."

All agree on the difficulties involved in finding a parking space when they arrive at school and traveling in inclement weather.

When asked about finding a place to live off cam pus, Murraysaid, "There are many places around but most are very expensive.''

Tina Rakowski, freshman, financial aid secretary, said that the financial aid office receives many phone calls from families offering free room and board to a student who will work for the family doing such things as babysitting, maid service, etc.

Pete Pennpacker of the zoning office of Radnor Township, said that the reason a group of students will rent a house is that their college campuses do not provide enough housing. However, the Township Ordinance only permits two non-related persons to live together.

Pennpacker said that most of the complaints the township office receives concern this housing matter and are investigated immediately.

The choice to live off campus is one made mostly by upperclassmen.

Anapolsky said he was glad he lived on campus his freshman and sophomore years because he was able to get to know everyone and the campus. Anapolsky, Ranoia, and Murray all stressed theimportanceof the independence and responsibility gained while living on their own.

Men's CrossCountry

A blue ribbon goodbye Pete Casazza was attracted to Cabrini during his senior year of high school because it had a small college setting. It was also close to his home town, Vineland, NJ., where Casazza started running in junior high.

"I always watched my brothers run,"he said. "Even thoughCabrinididn't recruitme, I knew I could makethe team."

That kind of confidence is seen

by Ande Romano

Chris Francis had¡ a hard time bis freshman year balancing school work and running on the cross-country team. However, after he switched his major to marketâ&#x20AC;˘ ing which usually holds classes at night, h4? found a happy medium.

Francis also added that maturity as well as a good mental outlook helped him to cope with the pressures of being on a team.

"I had a bad year last year," he said."I'd like to finish with a good year instead of just disappearing. My mind set is better. I never realized until this year , that it's mostly mental."

As a member of the marketing club, Francis is group chairman for the club sponsored Blood Drive. He is also involved in social activities planning and senior class council.

As for the future, Francis thinks he will take some tim_eoff from running competitively but will continue to run to stay in shape.

"I'll probably come back for the Mercedes Run. If my family can run it, I guess I can too," he said.

Friendship is import ant to Francis during his college years. "I was going to transfer to another schoo~ but the friends I made here I couldn't have made at another school," he said. "There's a certain kind of spirit of friendliness you can't get at others schools."

Mike Edmondson

Mike Edmondson started running his senior year of high school because he had a bad self image and wanted to use running as "a way out."

"Running was something I had to work at which improved my image of myself," he said.

Edmondson came to Cabrini to work on this goal. When asked how running improved his self image, Edmondson said, "I felt that I was always a part of a team."

His greatest accomplishment was last year's Nationals championship.

"It was the reward for all of my hard work," he said.

Edmondson did not have any difficulty balancing school work and team work. In fact, he feels it helped him to become a more organized person.

With many activities, Edmondson has little time to waste. His favorite title is Parliamentarian of the senior class. He was also an orientation counselor.

"I like to work with people because they went through the same thing that I went through," he said.

Edmondson was also president of PSEA (Pennsylvania State Education Association.) He also served as eucharistic minister for two years.

Running has given Edmondson mental toughness. "It helps me deal with my problems," he said. His strong will has carried over into other areas as well. "I'm not one to set expectations,'.' he said. "I go in with an open mind and give it 110 percent."

through the activities in which Casazza participates. Casazza is involved in the theater, making sets and providing maintenance. He is the chairman for hunger awareness, eucharistic minister, and ecology club president.

"The campus has so much potential that hasn't been reached," he said, referring to his work in the ecology club.

"We want to beautify the campus by putting in flowers and clearing away the shrubs."

Casazza is also in CEC (Council for Exceptional Children) and the Resident Conduct Committee.

With all of these activities, Casazza finds it easier to budget his time during the cross-country season because he is forced to work efficiently.

Casazza wants to compete in the future. However, he doesn't know if running can fit in with the type of work he wants todo.

"I want to do missionary work, volunteer work," he said. "Maybe I'll stay withreligious missionaries associated with Cabrini. They're all over the world."

Pete Casazza

John Donahue

When asked what college meant to him, John Donahue said, "They were the most enjoyable years of my life." He added that he has grown a tremendous amount through every learning experience.

Donahue has always been athletic.

He started running for fun in junior high but got more serious when he entered high school. "When they didn't offer soccer at the school I went to, I chose track," he said.

Little did he know that decision would lead him to Cabrini's cross-country team.

Although Donahue is the captain of the team, he downplays the title and insists that cross-country is an individualized sport in which a captain is not that big of a deal As Donahue looks back over his four years on Cabrini's cross-country team, he recalls a time when the team won the ESAC tournament last year.

"All five guys were a part of the team, a winning team," he said. He added that the team had never run that race before and they beat the number one team, Frostberg.

As a political science major, Donahue found it beneficial to be on a sports team not only to let out pent up energy but also to budget time.

"I studied hard my freshman year and looked foreward to running every day at 4:00," he said. "It was a real tension release."

As for the future, Donahue wants to run competitively after he graduates. "I wouldn't think of giving up running at age 21," he said. "I will continue to improve."

to our senior athletes -1 Field Hockey

by Kristin Kroll Peggie Federico is a communications major with a concentration in advertising. During her Cabrini years she remained very active and w.as invovled in such activities as: resident life, orientation, student government, basketball and field hockey.

"I think my biggest accomplishment was becoming an resident assistant," Federico said. "It's given me confidence and a sense responsibility."

Federico displayed these traits on .the hockey team as well. "Peggie was a great captain and player who really foad the team," Trish Fitzgerald, sophomore, said.

Federico said that she enjoys the game not only for its fast paced beat, but because of the season in which it falls. "I love being outside in autumn," Federico said.

Field hockey also made her feel productive on days when she did nothing else.

Those days will soon be ending, for after graduation Federico hopes to get an apartment with friends, a new car, and a job in the field of marketing or advertisement.

Peggy Federico

Debbie Fer;ar On the sidelines of sports events, at a Cabrini function or in the Widener Center darkroom, Debbie Ferrar can usually be seen with her camera on hand.

Acting as this year's Loquitur photography editor, Ferrar has definately concentrated during her four years of college on the field of photography.

"It comes naturally and I enjoy it," she said, "so its only logical that I pursue it as a career."

After graduation, Ferrar hopes to eventuallygetajob inMaryland, her home state, possibly working for a national magazine like Sports Illustrated or Time Life. In between however, she wants to work in Ocean City, Md., while simultaneously sending out resumes.

Along with Ferrar's photograghy activities, she also was an orientation counselor, Loquitur reporter, graphics editor for the paper and played field hockey since feshman year. "Debbie is a strong defenseman who we could always depend on," Joyce Mundy, sophomore, said.

"I love playing the game," Ferrar said, "It gave me a chance to get to know people who I never would have met if I didn't play."

Balancing classes and homework is difficult enough, imagine trying to play on a sports team and working two jobs-one on campus and one off, at the same time.

While some might fold under such pressure, Kathy Fasciocco, senior cocaptain of the women's field hockey team', found that being involved in so many different activities actually helped her to budget her time and gave her the energy she needed to get everything done. .

In addition to field hockey, Fast1occo, a marketing major with a minor in human service management, also found time to work on the marketing club and at the annual Expressions Art Show.

Of her four-year experience on the team, Fasciocco said, "I've learned what it is like to work as a team and I've learned to respect those I've worked with."

The highlight of her four years on the field hockey team occurred last year w"henthe team went to the Eastern States Athletic Conference playoffs for tlie first time.

In the future, Fasciocco hopes to work as a market reseracher for a large firm and plans to continue playing ¡field hockey as part of a club team.

"Kuds was a leader both on and off the field," Larry Kilcullen, sophomore, soccer player, said. "He was a stabilizing part of our defense."

Marie Lis began playing field hockey as a sophomore in college. A veteran of soccer, she had never played field hockey before. With words of encouragement from friend Peggie Federico, senior, Lis learned the sport and by senior year was not only starting but a co-captain ~ as.well.

"Spud is a real hustler," Federico said. "She picked the game up quickly and really brought energy to the team."

Lis enjoys field hockey because it was such a challenge to her. She liked the fact that it allowed her to constantly better herself.

Other activities that she has been involved in during her four years include: basketball, student government, and resident life. "I feel being a resident assistant helped me to grow up," Lis said, "It's a lot of responsibility."

After graduation, Lis would like to teach elementary education in her hometown of Holland, Pa. "Eventually," Lis said, "I'd like to go back to school and get my masters in psychology and possibly study counseling."

Cross Country

by Donna Dougherty Dave Kodluk, marketing major, has played soccer for Cabrini for four years. This year he was soccer co-captain.

Last monthhe was namedMostValuable Defensive Player in the Dominican Tournament. Last year he was named to the All-Eastern States Athletic Conference (ESAC) team.

He says that the best memories from his years at Cabrini are that of soccer.

The highlight of them being the team going to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)finals in Texas last year.

"It was the highlight of them because it was a goal that Cabrini has never achieved before and I was honored to be a part of that achievement," Kodluk said.

"Some of the best people I've ever met go to Cabrini, start with my roommates and go from there," he said.

His roommate, Brian Doherty, sophomore, said,"Kuds would do anything for you. He's the kind of guy who would go out of his way for you. It doesn't matter who you are, if he thinks he can help you, he will without a question."

Asking him who influenced him the most during his time here, Kodluk said," My family and friends influenced me the most because no matter how good or bad you do, they're always behind you."

Besides playing soccer, he was a member of Student Government Association (S.GA.) and a member of the Captain's Club which wasagatheringofall the captains of the campus sports teams when they would discuss the best things for the teams.

He is a marketing major who plans on getting a job in some area of the field, but is not sure which one.

Ehresman graduated from Archbishop Wood where he also played soccer.

Off-campusP.E. is an unknownoption

by Ande Romano

Lake, like many other participants in the offcampus option, takes an aerobics class at the "Living Well Lady" health center.

When asked how they found out about the option of off-campus gym, all of the participants claimed that they heard of the option purely by accident.

"I found out about it when I was in dance class with Rosina (DiPriozio ). She knew about it somehow and, since we both didn't like the dance class we decided to do aerobics off-campus instead," Lake ;aid.

Lake also maintains that the aerobics at the offcampus fitness center is better exercise for her because she and DiPrinzio work together and push each other along.

Aside from not knowing about the off-campus option of satisfying physical education requirements, otherissuessuch as transportation to and from an outside facility and economic factors come into play.

Lorraine Edwards, sophomore, said, "I would consider it an option if I only had a way of getting there."

According to Goodwin, mostly freshman and sophomores take gym and they are the ones without cars and who don't want to pay for an outside class.

Diane Flint, junior, participant in the off-campus program, said, "It's cheaper if you belong to a club and you'll save money. Besides, you also have more of a choice."

When asked if he was concerned with the cost of off-campus exercise, Dave Pisko, sophomore, said, "I

Although off-campus gym is listed as an option for students taking the physical education general requirement, it remains a mystery to the majority of the campus community.

According to Helen Goodwin, assistant professor, physical education, physical education requirements can be fulfilled by participating in some form of physical excercise for a minimum of 28 hours per semester and with the authorization of an instructor.

"I'm glad we have this option for students because I like kids to do other activities," Goodwin said. "I'd even approve kids taking tennis lessons as long as they get an instuctor's signature."

As of the winter of 1987, options besides offcampus exercise include team sports, jazz dance and slimnastics. Sophomores Rosemarie Francesconi, Maria Tatta, and Samantha Tomasula switched from team sports to slimnastics because the men try to dominate all the time. It gets dangerous.

According to juniors, Jackie Kueny and Karen Siegl, the option of off-campus gym was never mentioned to them as freshmen.

"We (freshmen) were automatically put into either team sports or slimnastics. It was never an option," they said.

Lady Cavs lose in ESAC battle

by Ande Romano

Cabrini's women's volleyball team tried to fight back against Salisbury State College last Saturday in the Eastern States Athletic Conference (ESAC) championship match but were unable to overcome the superb teamwork displayed by the opposition.

Halloween marked the showdown, with Salisbury's jack-o-lantem intently watching the match.

"We're equally matched teams, but the problem was with our passing," Trish Payton, sophomore, said. "The pass would go over the net, and number 12 would hit it."

"Number 12," Debbie Gibbens, of Salisbury was formidable, measuring six feet, one inch. Despite this, the Lady Cavs fought and held their own.

The team started in the hole trailing Salisbury3-0, when Coach Gerry Szabo called time out. Cabrini then returned with a series of non-returnab_le serves by Kathy Rowan, freshman, to make the score, 4-3 in Cabrini's favor.

However, Brenda Bowlin of Salisbury, fought back with two non-returnable spikes.

With Salisbury ahead 9-6, Szabo again called time-out. However, this time Cabrini could not fight back and lost the first game in the best of five series, 15-6.

In a series of diving saves made

by Payton and the combination of Linda Panetta, senior, setting the ball and Christi Courseault, sophomore, drilling it, Cabrini fought back from a 13-8 deficit winning the second game, 15 to 13.

Tied at one game each, Cabrini star-led off the third game in the hole, 2-0.

The team members kept their composure, chewing gum and concentrating on the first serve, while Cabrini fans yelled "come on black."

However, concentration was not enough in the third game as Salisbury defeated Cabrini, 15 to 7.

By this time, the excitement in the gym was rising. Salisbury led two games to one and the pressure was on Cabrini to equal the score. In game four, Cabrini started off quickly, leading 7-0.

The nervous Salisbury coach

called time out, after which, the team fought back to tie the score at eight.

However, Sue Westgate, sophomore, was in the spotlight as she pulled Cabrini away from the tie by hitting a series of nonreturnable serves. Cabrini went on to win the game, 15 to 8.

Tension rose during the two minute break between games as Panetta practiced with Jan Torres, sophomore, team manager. Tied at two games each, the winner of the ESAC championship would be decided by this fifth and final game.

Once again, the Cabrini women found themselves in a big hole with Salisbury leading 14 to 3. Szabo was no longer in his usual relaxed position--leaning back in his chair with folded arms. Although Cabrini saved the match twice by winning the serve back from Salisbury, the team lost the fifth game and the match.

"We played up to our potential," Szabo said. "We're a young team with only one senior in terms of eligibility. Most of our players are freshmen and sophomores."

Szabo added that Cabrini's record for this season was 19 wins and 10 losses.

"Our team has a lot of tenacity.

We're a tough team," he said. "You don't get to the fifth game unless you're a good team. If you use all of your time-outs, that's a sign of a good match."

As far as the future is concerned, Cabrini believes it has a good chance to win districts on Nov. 7.

When asked what her expectations were concerning districts, Payton said, "to win." She added that "the team has a good shot if we play as well as we've been playing."

According to the players, the team to beat in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) districts is Wilmington who is seeded number one.

"They (Wilmington) beat us this season, and I feel we could have beaten them," Panetta said.

Cabrini, seeded second, will play the winner of the Allentown-Alvernia match.

"There's no one that we can't beat," Szabo said. "It just depends on a few breaks."

"Kids have taken karate, scuba diving, dance classes and swimming," Goodwin said. . Most of ~e students who have taken off-campus gym 10 t~e past, did s~ because they desperately needed . the reqwred ~o credits to gradua~e.

Accordmg to Mary Ann Biller, academic dean, off-campus ~ is a good option for transfer students who need the credits to graduate. .

"If a stu~ent is close !o gradu3:ting and he/she is 10 need of physical education credits, we try to be reM?nable. If ~omeone worked with kids in a camp playmg games with them, we could give credit for that," she said.

According to Goodwin, the purpose of collegiate physical education is "to take time out of each day and relax and have fun."

For example, yoga classes, offered through the continuing education department, would be included in the physical education requirement options.

Even though there are many different options offered for off-campus gym, there are a few students who would participate in on-campus options anyway.

Maureen Herman, freshman, said, "I would take slimnastics here even if there were other options because I love slimnastics."

Becky McGinnis, junior, said, "Team sports is relaxing and the guys are nice even if you mess up."

Even though gym is fun for some, most of the participants in the off-campus physical education program commute to and from school.

Theresa Drumm, senior, participant in an offcampus slimnastics class. said, ''When I had gym at 8:30 a.m. in the morning last semester, I was sweaty for the rest of the day. I would bring extra clothes, but that was a hassle."
