The Wayne Tavern also prohibits underage drinking. However, they were raided not too long ago. According to Bud Sheller, owner, the tavern has a problem with fake identification cards. He said that although some look fake, there are others that look authentic. "We confiscate when we can," Sheller said. The tavern, which now awaits a hearing by the Liquor Control Board, has a policy which requires anyone suspected of not being 21 to sign a pledge card. This policy is a precaution, and according to Sheller, a tightening of their screening process.

Cqmpus drinking aff8cts bur lives
Getting the most out of your college years
Alcohol is a part of most college campuses and Cabrini is no exception. Besides all the obvious problems that alcohol causes - vandalism, violence and death - it also interferes with academics. 'Many students miss class due to hangovers: As a result their work suffers because they are not as conscientious. Homework is shoved onto the back burner as alcohol fills the lives of students. Social drinking is no longer only done on weekends. Many times drinking goes on every night. There is always at least one party to be found on any given night. According to data compiled by college officials around the country, two of every ten American college students will be harmfully involved with alcohol by the time they graduate. One solution to this problem is alcohol awareness and prevention. Students must become involved and be willing to learn about amounts and percentages so that they are aware of their level of intoxication. Habits must also be changed. Drinking should not be a hobby or pastime. There is no right time or place for drinking yet every day should not be the norm. Social drinking is fine when done in moderation, but can be a big problem when it is abused. Alcoholism is a disease and must be treated as one. Some organizations, such as Al-Anon and Alateen are designed specifically for dealing with alcoholics and their families. There is help available for those who tend to overuse alcohol. One must be willing to take the first step on the road to a life in which alcohol is no longer a priority. Only when this happens, can drinking be considered an occasional pleasure instead of an addiction.
beth bittne "These are the best years of your life." "Make the most of your college experience because it is an important time of growth and development." "Not everyone is lucky enough to be getting a college education." I am sure at one point and time, we have all heard at least one of these phrases from our elders and peers. But do we really believe them? Do we heed their advice? As I have been preparing to graduate, I have found myself passing these words of wisdom onto others. I have also found myself questioning some of my peers as to why they bothered wasting their time and money on a college education. Did they really get what they paid for? Was it just a great big party and an extended vacation? I know, I sound like your parents, don't I? But think about it. I have. And it's the i truth. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford a college education for four years. Do we really express our gratitude or do we misuse this opportunity?
I remember the beginning of my experience like it was yesterday. I wasn't exactly Joe student. In fact, I just wanted to have fun. I guess that's a normal feeling for freshman. In my sophomore year, I really messed up. Even though I cut back on the partying, I just didn't have my act together. I battled a lot of personal problems and I just couldn't make up my mind about w~at I wanted to do with my life. I became
really depressed and the hole I was digging just got deeper and deeper. In the second semester of my sophomore year, I finally realized I needed help so I went to the Rudy Rooyman's Counseling Center. I might sound like a commercial, but they were a lot of help. My life was like a huge jigsaw puzzle with a lot of missing pieces. They helped me find the missing pieces and, things really started going my way. During the summer between sophomore and junior years, I did a lot of innerself searching. I prioritzed my life and put the puzzle back together. I came into my junior year full force. I applied myself more in classes, I prioritized my responsibilities, treated activities as if they were jobs and I became the master of time mangement. People took notice of the change and it meant a lotto me. Ihaveaccomplished and experienced things that could never be replaced bytextoooks. I often wonder what I would be like if I didn't listen to the advice of my elders.and peers. Would I be as confident in myself as I am? Wouldmy peersand elders look up to me as they do now? Would I even be graduating. I guess what I am trying to say is this, please heed the advice of your peers and elders. They can often see things that we are blind to. If you're in a slump now, there is no time like the present. Look into yourself and find out what you really want. If necessary seek help from an unbiased party. The college experience is the ultimate experience of a lifetime and not everyone is as fortunate as we are to be able to experience it. These really are the best years of your life so make the most of them.

Bidding a fond farewell by Debbie Murphy How ironic that it should come down to this -- that the last thing I ever write at Cabrini College is an opinion for Loquitur. It seems a fitting farewell for a year that has truly been the one of the best of my life. I was more than a little apprehensive when I found out I was going to be editor during my senior year; afterall, the last year of my college career was reserved for monumental tasks such as interning in the "real world" and deciding what to do with the rest of my life. In the year w,hen most of my classmates were beginning to sever their ties with Cabrini, I was bound to it . more than ever. In the end, I reasoned that I had the rest of my life to decide what I should do with the rest of my life. I would never have the opportunity to be editor of Loquitur again, and so I persevered through 21 issues. The year seems blurry to me as I look back now, but one thing does stand out clearly, the people I have had the good fortunate of meeting and working with. It was so nice knowing that every time I walked into the newsroom, I would know everyone there; I will miss that bond and friendship.

Populationlow, quick money is denied by Marian Armstrong
When it comes to getting a Money Access Center (MAC) machine installed on campus, there are many issues at hand that leave Cabrini at a disadvantage. MAC machines are usually installed in places where there is a strong concentration of people, and in locations where the bank is going to make a profit off
located in the student center. Susan Ansel, assistant controller at Villanova, said the MAC machine was installed to promote or make easier banking arrangements for students. "It prevents them from having to go off campus to do their banking. The idea has been very well-received by students," Ansel said. Ansel sees other advantages as
them.
Joe Lowry, vice-president, departmept of operations, Main Line Federal Bank, said, "If it's going to be profitable, we're going to look at it closely." Lowry is cautious about where MAC machines are placed, for various reasons. Ideally, he would like to see the machines service 2,500student on a college campus. Janine Mclnerney, project manager for electronic banking, First Pennsylvania Bank, said, "We don't have enough money to install machines all throughout the city." Mclnerney said that to install the machines in crowded areas "is just a good use of the bank's assets and resources." The price of installing a full MAC machine is approximately $35,000. The telephone lines needed to run the machines costs roughly $300 a month, and the camera to prevent theft costs $7,500. Lowry said that a possible option could be arranged if a MAC machine was not possible. A cash dispenser would be another option. It's a lot cheaper than the full MAC machine. However, deposits can not be made on a cash dispenser machine. Villanova University has two Cash Stream machines and one MAC, which was installed in 1986. All three are
well. "Parents can wire money instead of paying a check; or they can transfer money from their account to student accounts," she said. Mary Jo Giunco, sophomore, said that she feels cheated. She said, "They have one at Villanova. I was surprised we didn't have one." Lowry said that the bank that installs the machine makes a profit from other institutions by exchanges made on the network. For example, a card from another institution used on a Main Line Federal machine will yield a fee to Main Line Federal. A Cabrini staff member, w!io wishes to remain anonymous, said that a MAC machine at Cabrini would not be practical because so many students receive checks from their parents. The source said a lot of parents do not want their children to have accounts away from home. Jay Loucks, chief financial officer, said, "I never reallyhadgivenitanythought at all. It's obviously a convenience." Loucks said that one advantage of a MAC machine on campus would cut-down on check cashing. The opinions of students vary as well. Some do not look at a MAC card as a necessity, whereas others see it as a God
send. Kathy Smith, junior, said, "I guess I don't have one (a MAC card) because it's not a big thing in our family." Smith said she always babysits, and therefore, always has cash. Cathy Currie, junior, said, "My bank account is just for tuition. My dad can write a check, and put the money in his checking account the next day." Currie doesn't feel she needs a MAC card. Leah Cascarina, senior, thinks having a MAC card is a necessity. Cascarina said that when emergencies come up, it's great to have money at your
fingertips. She said that having a MAC card is essentialif one does not have a credit card. "It was really a pain in the butt to cash a check. I find myself strapped for money, and I'm never able to cash my
check," she said. Carmela Cantone, junior, said, "When I'm really low on money, and I'm in a tough situation, I can get quick cash very easily."

John Doyle
New directorwith high goals by Angie Corbo
John Doyle, newly appointed director of resident life, has entered his administrative role with high energy. His expectations and plans for the upcoming year are of high caliber. · Doyle is not a new face to the college campus or to the resident life department. He is a 1985 graduate of Cabrini College, and has ·served as a former resident assistant, resident man~ger, and as the assist.ant · director of resident life. His new position, as director of the resident life department, is a completely new role to tackle, according to Doyle. As a member of the staff, he takes pride in the strong rapport that he has established with the students. Now he is conscious of the areas that he needs to develop within himself in order to be more of an administrator. A personal goal that he is committed to, is becoming more organized and more "administrative" as an individual. While Doyle sets out to achieve these goals, he has made a conscious effort to keep his

Heiberger said, "I believe that continuing education students are much more serious. They always show up for class and they show up on time. I think students that come to class late are disrespectful. It disrupts the class, breaking the classes concentration," he said.

Tips for studying abroad by Shelle Koller Have you ever been interested in studying abroad, learning about not only math and science, but the differences in foreign cultures? According to Helene Hennigan, language department chairperson, studying abroad is a wonderful enhancement to learning about the difference in language and cultures. Hennigan said, "It's necessary to understand how other people think and that our culture is not necessarily the best." Students who wish to study abroad can go through the American Institute for Foreign Study(A.I.F.S.). The A.I.F.S. is a nationwide organization that provides comprehensive overseas study and travei programs. Over 300,000students and teachers have enrolled in A.I.F.S. courses in Europe, Africa, Austrialia, and Asia. During the academic year, the A.I.F.S. organizes courses at universities and colleges in Austria, Britain, France, Germany, China, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. The institute has over 300 full-time students currently enrolled abroad. Students, while studying abroad can obtain room and board by taking a position known as an "au pair girl." An "au pair girl" lives with the foreign family, and in exchange for her room and board, she either babysits or does light housework for the family. Most students go abroad either their junior or senior year of college. According
to Hennigan it is a question of maturity. "We like to send juniors and seniors because they are ready to accept and learn about a culture different from their own," Hennigan said. It is recommended that students who study abroad carry between 10-12 credits. This is because the students need the time to travel and explore, but also must remain full-time students in order to qualify for financial aid. F amities who qualify can receive a maximum loan of $2,500 per academic year from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. According to Gianfillippo Zuccarello, Italian foreign exchange student studying at Cabrini, the universities in Italy are free, but they are also more difficult. According to Hennigan, "Foreign university professors are not there to be friends. They are there to teach." She said, "This is difficult for American students, who are used to the personal touch." "Because the classes are so large, there is no time for discussion," Hennigan said. "The professors do not care whether or not a student shows up for class, either. The class grade is based upon either one or two, tests a semester," Hennigan said. - Zuccareilo finds Cabrini College similar to the level of difficulty he found in his high school education. ¡ Zuccarelfo said, "The teachers here are wonderful and helpful, but I find it difficult to fit in because of the difference in cultures."

Saving$ in Europe by Kristin Kroll Students' dreams of traveling through Europe are abruptly ended when one remembers that a student budget usually don't cover much more than a night out at a club, or a hoagie at the local deli. Regardless of how much money one has (or doesn't have), Europe _can be traveled for much less money than a person may think. There are, however, helpful hints to traveling inexpensively in Europe. The cheapest way of seeing Europe is to backpack. Before leaving the states, it is possible to become a member of the American Youth Hostel Organization. Hostels are low-cost dormitory-style accommodations that are located throughout all of Europe. For $4 to $10 a night, one can get a clean safe place to sleep and bathe. According to "Frommer's Europe on $30 a Day," it is wise to travel from city to city second class. The difference on European trains between first and second class seats is a matter of one or two inches of extra padding, at most. The money one saves from this small inconvenience is well worth it. If one will be doing an extensive amount of city changing, Frommes also said that a Eurailpass is a must. This allows one unlimited travel throughout all of Europe. Anyone under the age of 26 can purchase a Eurail YoÂľthpass entitling them to unlimited second class transportation for one month for $310, or for two months for $400. With transportation and lodging taken care of, meals is the next consideration. With the exception of major European cities, "Fodor's Budget Europe" said finding low-cost meals is quite easy. While in England, Fodor recommended eating in the many chain restaurants, and saving money for the better meals available in France and Italy. Frommers said that Bavarian food found in Germany can be eaten for $5 and under, in, surprisingly enough, department stores. Beer gardens aJso offer an enjoyable cheap meal and can be found in every location. A good place to eat budget meals in Austria are in their wine houses. They o(fer classic Austrian dishes for as little as $10. An effective money-saving method in Italy is to eat at cafes and bars that are "Tavola Calda." These are stand-up eating spots with counter space where one will rarely encounter prices that strain a modest budget. To eat cheaply in Paris, one must speak at least basic French. Instead of going to restaurants, shopping for meals in the French market is a great idea. Ronald Smith, who traveled extensively in Europe for two years, said a meal can be purchased for as little as $5 in France. When deciding where to eat in Europe, one should try to look for little out-of-theway restaurants. It is here where the most delightful meals can usually be found at a low price.

Many is also important. Exercise, when done into shape. Once March comes around people are ruled by the stomachs and eat right, stimulates the body's muscles and there is a rude awakening to the fact that in constantly, while others wait until they are helps get rid of the excess fat. just a few months one's body will be on starved and then pig out. "There are millions of diets but the one display, in a swimsuit, for all to see. Realize that losing weight slowly is which works the best are those which Two ways in which one accomplishes better than quick weight loss because it incorporate the four essential food getting into shape is through diet and exercise. Unfortunately,manypeople tend to abuse and overuse these two· outlets which are supposed to make them healthier and happier. Although there are many who truly are overweight, there are even more who are obsessed with the way they look even though they are at their ideal weight. For these people diets become an answer to their prayers, but a hazard to their bodies. Dieting, when done right, can be very beneficial but once it is ·abused, such as in the case of crash diets, the body truly suffers. "Crash diets are very hard on the body because the body's metabolism won't adjust and before you know it, the weight lost is gained back, plus more," Susan Fitzgerald, director, health services, said. "Fad diets do more harm than good to the body so in the long run a good sensible diet is more beneficial," Sharon Menkowitz, an employee at Holiday Spa, said. "Diets are one thing but starving is something else because it withholds the basic nutrients which the body needs," Sandy Stewart, athletic trainer, said. Although there are no "right" diets, due to the fact that each person's body is different, there are a few guidelines to follow, as stated in "The New Our Bodies, Ourselves," in order for one to diet in a healthy way. First and foremost is to cut out junk food Christi Courseault, MiMi Nerelli and Joan Cook take a while increasing the amount of fruits and walk for their daily execrise.

groups," Stewart said. "The best diet is one which provides enough calories to get all the nutrients the body needs," Fitzgerald said. Just as dieting can be abused, so can the exercising aspect of getting into shape. Some people tend to push their bodies to the limit, and in the end, cause more harm than good. Many people feel they must exercise every single day, but they do not give their bodies a chance to recuperate. In the long run, their muscles become tired and susceptible to damage. "When exercising, the warm up is very important so that you don't shock your muscles and then you must be aware of what your body is capable of," Stewart said. "The most beneficial way to exercise is for 20 minutes, two to three times a week, doing aerobic activity because it helps your cardiovascular system," Fitzgerald said. Although there are many types of exercise programs, there are a few essentials to a good exercise program as stated in "The American Medical Association Family Medical Guide." Have at least three exercise sessions every week at regular intervals and stated times. Each session should be 20 minutes or longer, with little or no rest. Incorporate warm-up, as well as cool-down exercises, in each session. Choose forms of exercise that are enjoyable and fit into your schedule. The goal is to develop a habit of physical fitness so enjoyment will be an added incentive. Do not attempt to get into shape too rapidly.Start gently, with just a mild strain, and increase your efforts weekly to build up your tolerance level. "Exercise is great, but even better when it's done sensibly," Menkowitz said. "Getting in shape is not something to be undertaken in the spring. It's something that should be done all year round," Stewart said.

A final farewellto seniors Renee Acconciamessa by Paula Phillips "It is a good outlet for me. It is a positive energy release from the buildup of school work," Renee Acconciamessa, senior, said, referring to softball.

Alex Hladky by Beth Ann Bittner
"While I was in high school, I quit the tennis and soccer teams so that I could be more serious with volleyball," Alex Hladky, senior, said. Hladky started playing volleyball approximately eight or nine years ago in various leagues. "I've always enjoyed playing volleyball," he said. According to Hladky, volleyball wasn't just a form of enjoyment. It was a way to stay in touch with a lot of his friends and the Ukranian culture he was raised in. Hladky also served as assistant coach for the women's volleyball team this past fall.

In October of 1987, the women's tennis team won the District 19 title of the NAIA for tennis. There is a total of 32 districts throughout the United States. This was the first time in the history of athletics at Cabrini that a women's team has won this title. Since their victory at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, the team has been preparing themselves for the national championship.
Schwarz, sophomore, said. "Because ot the lack of space we haven't bee~ that successful with practices." ''The weather hasn't been very cooperative," Gina Strobel, junior, said. Along with practice inconvenience, the team has run into an attitude slump. The team has lost their 'high.' "I think it has a lot to do with added stresses,'' Schwarz said. The team has been holding its own. Joe
Dodds, coach, has not been able to help the team as much as he would like because of preparing for graduation. "Gina has been handling all of the practices," Dodds said. Despite their problems, the team is convinced that when the pressure is on, they will pull through. "We proved this last season," Schwarz said, "and I know we can do it again. All
we need to do is gain back the attitude we had going into the District 19 championships." Strobe~ Schwarz, and Krista Hritz, freshman, will compete in the singles. Juniors, Maura Carroll and Terrie Pando and sophomores, Carol Risse and Pam Croke and freshman, Dara Seidman will compete in the doubles. "We ,are all looking forward to the learning experience," Strobel said.
'I know we can do it again. All we need to do is gain back the attitude we had during the district 19 championships.' Heather Schwarz, sophomore At first, the team did not think that it would be able to go to Kansas City due to lack of funding. The team pulled together though and held its own fundraisers. Seeing the active interest displayed by the team, the athletic department funded the rest of the money the team needed to take the trip. They set their minds and hearts on Kansas City.
