In today's fast-paced world, a college education is almost necessary. Necessity may be one aspect, but affordability plays a more significant role.

Parents who hope to send their child to college may run into problems, simply because of the high cost of a college education.

Every parent's burden when sending their child to college is thr high cost of tuition and other expenses including room and board, books, and other fees.

As stated in the Cabrini College financial aid handbook, the rising cost of college tuition has made it increasingly difficult for many students to finance their education without some type of outside assistance. Cabrini's Financial Aid office helps students find the neede~ .fln1dsto pursue their educational goals.

Arlene Dittbrenner, director of financial aid at Cabrini, stressed the importance of considering the financial aid form. Many parents are hesitant to apply for any kind of aid for fear of being rejected.

However, Dittbrenner stated, ''Traditional federal programs use a method called Congressional Methodology for determining financial aid. It doesn't determine how much you 're going to get, it determines how much you can afford to pay."

The most common typeoffinancial aid is a guaranteed student loan which must be n,paid after college is completed. Service grants are also offered by the Federal and State government as well as work-study packages that can be completed either on or off campus.

Another question which is raised is what happens when parents have to provide for more than one child at different colleges. This is common in many families.

Madeline DeCandalo, mother of current freshman Patti DeCandalo presently has five children enrolled at five different colleges.

DeCandalo says,"lt's tough. We do without a lot of luxuries, but our lifestyle hasn't changed. We planned for this. My husband and I always knew that all of our children would attend college, so we set goals. Tuition increases every year, but I had no idea that it would be this costly."

The DeCandalos solve their problem this way. "All of the children have student loans. Two are involved in workstudy. They all contribute something financially to their education.'' One would think that in a situation such as this one, some benefits would be granted. However, this is not so. With regard to having more than one child in school, Dittbrenner states, "Students don't receive any breaks.

Parents have asked about it. It's an agenda item."

The cooperative education program is another way that students can advance their education. By working in the business world, they gain experience and a paycheck. It also enables a student to receive credits for their education.

Dittbrenner had positive thoughts about the program. ''Coop is a big source of financial aid. So many students have to work, not only for tuition, but for personal expenses, as well."

In the future, as tuition expenses increase, parents will still be faced with the problem of financing their child's education.

-editorial:

The great debate To be or not to be president? That is the question that went unanswered even after the great debate of '88 which took place this past Sunday night.

The debate was more of a show than anything, it was more entertaining than informative and people are still wondering who they will vote for as November 8th grows closer.

One thing the debate did, was give both candidates the chance to show America just how good they can look but not how well they could run the country.

Mike Dukakis took on an overconfident debator's style and delivered his responses will limited emotion, as usual, while George Bush was hesitant and defensive as they battled over the different issues.

One issue that the candidates were vague on, was the nation's huge deficit. Both could not explain how they plan to lower it while still trying to acquire military weapons and other programs which they support.

It makes one wonderiftheyevencarethatour country is heavily into debt.

According to Bush it's the Democrat's Congress' fault for not holding down on spending. Sure, now we 're laying the blaim on others,just like a true politician.

Bush says he plans to cut the capital gains tax rate from 28 percent to 15 _percent while Dukakis claims this will only help the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. Why aren't both candidates showing more concern for the poor and middle class? It seems they are just pushed aside as other issues are discussed.

Foreign affairs were barely discussed with no new information on how they would handle certain problems as president. Dukakis put down Bush because of Reagan's dealings with Manuel Noriega and feels there can be no concessions to terrorists. Great, if Americans are involved Dukakis will just let them die while Bush would just keep his mouth shut.

Bush seems to be more military minded and would spend more money on weapons while Dukakis claims he would not spend billions on '' Star Wars'' since we can't afford it.

Dukakis seems to advqcate a nuclear freeze and wants to unilaterally do away with the MX and Midgetman missiles, claiming that Bush refuses to make hard choices. The choice should be hard especially with the little red button right next to the President's side.

The negative tones, one liners and attacks on each other will continue right up to election day, making this one interesting and very entertaining campaign. ·The challenge has been issued to all voters. Try to make sense out of all that was said and make your choice on the substance, not the impressions that each candidate made.

Family move from South Philly will bring sense of loss

by Paula Phillips Recently, I found out that my parents have decided to move out of South Philly next year. It may be a surprise to all but I will be upset when my family does move out of my hometown.

You might be making a face right now and say_ing,''This girl is nuts.'' But, I think I'm totally sane.

Some people do not realize what Philadelphia is all about, yet they think they do.

They think of filth, corruption, crime, illiteracy, drugs, a mayor that doesn't know what he is doing, girls with blobs of makeup and "yo" as the famous saying.

I'm not denying that these thoughts aren't realities because they are, especially the one about "Yo. "(I have to admit I say it too.)

But, if people stop and think for a second, instead of putting down Philly right away, they can find these realities in any city or town accompanied with their own favorite sayings. (I'm also sure that they can find girls with blobs of makeup!)

Despite these negative aspects there are some things about South Philly that are fulfilling.

South Philly has a sense of closeness maybe you could say a family bond. Nowhere can you find such tradition, dedication, intelligence, generosity and friendliness.

Numbers of families have generations that started here. This is where these traditions of nationality come from.

There are different neighborhoods that are made up fully from one nationality.

These people are proud of their heritage.

These nationalities include Irish, Italian, African, Chinese and many more. Nowhere can you find such diversity. It's a melting pot of cultures.

You can feel unity between neighbors not just because they live in row homes but because we have a "family" neighborhood.

Everybody watches out for everyone else.

For example did you ever go into Philly and witness a block party? It is one of Philly's specialties. Let me explain what it is, if you don't know. People from the neighborhood block get together to either celebrate a certain holiday or just to celebrate summer.

The street is blocked off for a day and everyone sets up a table with food and a radio outside their house. People socialize and play games such as volleyball, using a string tied across one end of the street t~ another by telephone poles, as the net. This might sound weird, but it works.

Everybody gets along with everybody else.

A good time is had by all.

Growing up in the city makes a person improvise and be more creative, especially children. The example I gave above of the volleyball game is a perfect example of improv1smg and creativity. Another example is in the city, people can not have swimming pools in their backyards so they use the fire hydrant instead.

I am not saying though, that we were slighted in anyway, because we weren't.

We just used what we had and we were more creative.

Philly instills pride in oneself - pride in

who you are. For this reason, I sometimes come off to some people as being a ''tough little city girl." On the surface, I might be, beacuse of my street smarts. You have to be to live in the city. But, to be honest, I do have a little soft spot! Ha! Seriously though, I just know what I can do with my abilities and I also know my limits. I have confidence in myself.

In the city, you have to know what you want out of life and have confidence in yourself to get somewhere because of the competition and the fast pace of life.

In South Philly, the people in your family and your neighborhood push you until you are the best you can be. They are all very supportive.

People sometimes say,"How can you live in a row home?" Well, to tell you the truth it isn't as bad as everyone thinks. The only problem with living in a row home is not having a back yard . It would be nice to have a back yard that is bigger than a gift box but, I do have a tree outside my house that I consider my garden. That'sfineforme.(City girl to the heart!)

Another reason I love Philly is because it has some of the finest foods. Where else can a person get a soft pretzel, a hoagie, or a cheese steak?

Philly also has the one and only mummers parade in the entire world. On New Year's day, mummers, clowns, fancies and fancies brigades parade up Broad Street performing the finest display of design in customs, music, and dance.

On that day everyone is out on Broad Strret doing the "mummers strut" and

celebrating the new year. You have to experience this one.

Also, Philadelphians, especiallly South Philadelphians, are the only people who can do the mummers strut the best.

Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love and the city of freedom. The liberty bell which first rang for our country's freedom is located here.

The birth place of the constitution that gives us our rights is also in Philadelphia.

Where else can you go shopping in the largest John Wanamakers in the United States? In Philly.

Who else has the Philadelphia Flyers as their home team? But I know, we do have the losing Phillies.

People say ··I could never live in Philly.''

I respect their views but in my opinion there is not a place where I would rather be from.

There is nothing like being born and raised downtown. There is nothing like living here.

Besides its bad points, I would not have wanted to grow up anywhere else besides Philly!

You really can't describe it in words, but believe me, it's not as b;_d as it seems. You have to experience the good points to understand how strongly I feel about my roots.

That's why I'm proud to say I'm from Philly.

One last thing, if you see a girl with a lot of make-up on don't automatically assume she is from South Philly. You never know, she might just live down the block from you!!

So what I'm trying to say is be proud of where you're from and be proud of your roots like I am of mine.

room, but once again, ashes are everywhere.

Let's get with it, Cabrini; join the ranks of progressive institutions that are finally realizing individuals right to say that they don't want to be exposed to carcinogenic black lung. I'm a dancer and I care about my body. In fact, I want to make a career out of it. I work hard to stay in shape. Let's hope others feel the same way.

I only wish that others would join me in snuffing out public smoking (and I emphasize "public"). I have no care concerning people's own personalhabits. However, when those habits enfringe on my personal rights, that's where I draw the line - as should others.

Campuslearnsof construction plan

by Marian Armstrong An information session was held on Tues., Sept. 27 to discuss the reconfiguration of Grace Hall's courtyard.

The reconstruction, which the John S. McManus Company began on Mon., Sept. 26, entails many structural changes. According to Marie McManus, project manager, all the trees, bushes, and grass will be removed from the courtyard and a triangular glass encasement will be constructed. The front stone wall which encloses the courtyard will be knocked down for construction purposes and rebuilt with the same stone by the same masons, thereby maintaining much of the original appearance. Stucco and cedar will be installed between windows above the new stone wall to complete the tudor design.

Bob Johnson, superintendent of the project, said, "It will match the original just about exactly the same."

Johnson said the new roof will contain five large skylights with additional smaller skylights. The roof itself will be made of a rubber material which can only be installed in weather of forty degrees or higher. For this reason, there is no telling exactly how long the reconfiguration will take.

Community concerns ranged from the noise of the reconstruction to the safety of the children from the children's school.

William Battles, vice president for institutional advancement, said, "The children will not be specifically effected .• We'll keep a buffer between the children and the work as much as we can."

As far as the noise is concerned, the office workers of Grace Hall were advised by McManus to grin and bear it.

Battles said there is a goal to raise $10 million within the next three years. Through pledges, there has been 785 thousand dollars raised thus far. The $10 million figure is expected to cover the costs of a new recreational field to the left of the children's school, three new tennis courts in back of the Mansion and 256 parking spots to the rear of Grace Hall, as well as the reconstruction of Grace Hall.

Battles said that the money is being raised through a comprehensive campaign. ''The campaign has gotten off to a good start, considering we have never had a campaign like this before,'' he said.

Studentsraise issueover longerlibraryhours

by Jenni Obrecht

Should Cabrini's library stay open later than 10 p.m. every night or not?

This issue has been raised by students on several occasions, and according to Janet Dalberto, library director, it involves factors of cost effectiveness, security and most importantly howstudents use the facilities.

Dalberto sees many students using the library as a study hall, rather than as a research facility.

"I'm not sure whether or not it is cost effective to stay open later if students choose to use the library as a study hall,'' she said.

For Dalberto, the key to cost effectiveness lies in the number of trained library personnel on duty. Cabrini's library staff is composed of five full-time staff members, with at least one librarian or trained assistant on duty at all times. Other factors include the cost of electricity and heat for the building.

Library staff members take random weekly counts of students in the library, which Dalberto said is important in analyzing cost effectiveness.

For example, Dalberto's figures indicate that there were 17 students in the library at 8 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 17, 1987. This number increased to 31 on Monday, Dec. 16, and Dalberto believes this was due in part to final exam week.

"Hardly anyone does work on the weekends and I think our hours are fine the way they are,'' Sue Stuhl, junior, student woricer,

said.

The library is open Monday through Thursday, from 8: 15 a.m. to lOp.m.; Friday, 8: 15 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday,9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Extended hours are added during finals.

These hours, according to Dalberto, are similar to those of other colleges belonging to the Tri-State College Library Cc>0perative (TCLC), including Rosemont and Eastern Colleges. Villanova and West Chester Universities also belong to TCLC, but

Dalberto does not see a fair comparison between those two schools and Cabrini. ''There is a big difference between a college and a university," she said. "Research institutions like Villanova have master's and doctoral candidates who would be using the library at later hours."

The University of Pennsylvania, not a

However, not all students agree that the current hours are acceptable.

Review

A concertfor the declarationof humanrights

By Lou Monaco Six musicians. 75,000 screaming people. The setting:

JFKStadium in the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. The cause: Amnesty International. It's message: to draw attention to Amnesty's campaign for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The price: well worth the ticket of admission.

September 19, 1988 will forever be remembered as the day Amnesty rocked Philadelphia. Over 75,000 people in attendance at JFK were treated to the musical talents of Youssou N'Dour, Joan Baez, Tracy Chapman, Sting, Peter Gabriel and Bruce Springsteen. It was six hours of excellent music, by musicians who care about people.

Amnesty International is an organization for people. It's an organization, which is against the imprisionment of people all over the world, just because they gave an individual opinion.

Amnesty is an organization where human rights - all over the world - is the No. I importance.

Amnesty asks each and every one of us to give a little of ourselves in the fight for human rights. For if we do this, the world will be a better place to live in.

The concert, itself.

All six of the musicians opened up the show with a classic Bob Marley tune, "Get Up.Stand Up." Joan Baez started the solo sets with such songs as ''Oh, Freedom," John Lennon's "Imagine" and The Beatles' "Let It Be." This set really dido 't rouse the crowd. Atthis time, people were still filling up the stadium.

Tracy Chapman's sincerity and caring came through loud and clear, in her music, off of her debut album, "Tracy Chapman." The Chapman "classics," such as "Behind The Wall," "Fast Car" and "Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution," all were performed with clarity and energy.

Chapman's music shows a true sense of personal care and awareness toward today's issues. After her performance in Philly, she will continue to gain popularity and respect amongst her colleagues and fans.

Next up, Sting.

Sting, formerly of The Police, is now embarking on a solo career. Sting has firmly established himself as a true musical

genius in the musical industry.

His new jazz-style has prompted two albums,• 'Dream Of The Blue Turtles" and his current album, "Nothing Like The Sun." Sting's performance, last Monday night, was truly incredible. · Sting's set started with an extended version of the classic Police tune, "King Of Pain.' ' "One World," another Police tune, was a rousing eight-minute musical piece of perfection. This newer version had a reggae-type instrumental background, which sparked the jam-packed crowd to life.

Sting, then went into a solo, single-line guitar rendition of the romantic song "Fragile" off of his "Nothing Like The Sun'' album. This particular song was a splendid piece of music that only Sting can perform.

Sting's next piece was symbolic of the Amnesty movement. "They Dance Alone" is a song about the thousands who have disappeared in South America, under suspicious circumstances.

Sting, though, saved his best for last. "Bring On The Night," combined with "When The World Is Running Down," brought JFK to a frenzy. Sting's pianist, Kenny Kirkland, went "off" on the piano, as did, Branford Marsalis, Sting's sax player.

Peter Gabriel, formerly of Genesis, added his own personal style to the concert. Songs, such as, "Shock The Monkey," "Games Without Frontiers," "Sledgehammer," "In Your Eyes" and "Of These, Hope" all were performed with vibrant energy and soul.

Gabriel's special musical talent showed in "Don't Give Up," with excellent background vocals, provided by Tracy Chapman and his Amnesty tribute to human rights, "Biko," dedicated to Stephen Biko, a prisoner of conscience who died while in prison in South Africa. This song brought all of the 75,000 spectators to it's feet.

The last performer was Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen performed like only Springsteen can. He had so much energy, soul and enthusiasm in his performance that, even if you could have hated Bruce, you would have loved him on this night.

The Springsteen classics performed were fantastic. "Born In The U.S.A.," and "The Promised Land" brought the

house down. This was only the beginning.

The classics continued with "My Hometown," "Cover Me" and "The River" - a duet with Sting. The crowd could not regain its sanity as Springsteen played "Jungleland," "Born To Run" and a set-ending rendition of "Raise Your Hand." Springsteen was "pure" Springsteen on this night.

The concert was fantastic, but the message must never be forgotten. Freedom to express ouropinions must never be taken away from us, for without this, we have no freedom.

Amnesty - an organization for us.

Many view commuterstatusnegatively

by Jim Steffler Picture this if you will. A typical exchange of greetings between two students at a party in Xavier Hall: "Do you live on campus?"

"No, I'm a commuter."

"Oh, You're a commuter."

End of conversation.

At least that is the way Lorri Nelson, sophomore, described her welcoming that night.

Why does the conversation stop? Because, according to Nelson, there probably will not be another chance for her to talk to that person again.

And, more importantly, what is wrong with Nelson? Is there a stigma attached to being a commuter at Cabrini?

Certainly Nelson thinks so. And Nelson is not alone in this.

In fact, her negative view is supported by both commuters and residents.

Kurt Richards, sophomore, feels that people do not think he is a part of the community because of his commuter status.

"They just don't seem to understand why commuters are commuters,'' Richards said.

"It's an entirely different lifestyle," Patty Moore, senior, commuter, said. And, according to Moore, most commuters have to get up for morning classes at least one half-hour earlier than residents at Cabrini who virtually roll out of bed five minutes before the first morning class.

According to Kerry Gallagher, senior class commuter representative, 35 percent of the student body at Cabrini commutes.

•'The college simply cannot afford to ignore a population of that size," John Callinan, senior, said.

Nelson says that she would love to be a resident at Cabrini.

Being a resident would give her the opportunity to form relationships with different people and to become involved in more aspects of college life.

Most importantly, Nelson strongly believes that it would be much easier as a resident to gain that feeling of independence which is just not possible when living with the folks.

Gallagher, who has commuted for the last four years, agrees with Nelson. "Commuters envy the freedom and camaraderie shared by residents. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to experience things like all-night chats?'' Gallagher

everyday. Specifically, "for these people, college is said.

On theotherhand,Gallagherwasquicktoadd that during nothing more than going to classes to get a degree," her freshman year, particularly, many resident freshmen Gallagher said.

This may be one of the reasons why Gallagher believes seemed envious of the cars driven by commuters. Many residents do not have cars and, often enough, have no choice that commuters do not attend movies, basketball games, etc. . Commuters cannot make spontaneous decisions to attend a but to remain on campus.

"There's always going to be a big difference, but things game or watch a movie.

"They have to plan things, whereas most residents don't on campus are geared toward residents, not commuters.

Everything is heard through the grapevine. For instance, I have to take into account a heavy work schedule not to just received the flyer for Parents Weekend today (Sept. mention all the traveling time that's involved," Gallagher said.

Corbo has made it her personal responsibility to make ••Almost all voting takes place inside the cafeteria. Last year's tickets for the Spring and Fall Formals and Parents flyers which are always on tables in the Wigwam and Weekend, I believe, were sold in the caf excluding the Gathenng Area.

Underage Drinking

State, campus enforce new ·laws

by Johanna Church On May 24, 1988, Pennsylvania passed tougher laws concerning underage drinkers and fake identification users.

The new laws include driver's license suspensions of90 days and a $300 fine for the first offense of purchasing, drinking or transporting alcoholic beverages. _Even stricter are the penalties for anyone who is caught carrying or using a fake l.D. card.

This carries with it a driver's license suspension of 90 days for the first offense and fines up to $500 and possible imprisonment of up to 90 days.

The old laws resulted in much more lenient penalties.

For example, in the summer of 1986, a Cabrini student was caught in a club in Center City, Philadelphia, for underage drinking.

There had been undercover Liquor Control Board (LCB) agents in the club all evening.

They were keeping track of what the suspected minors were drinking and how many they had.

At 11 p.m., the music stopped and the lights came on, and each suspected minor was carded. Those who failed to produce proper identification were taken to the I Ith Precinct in one of the two paddy wagons which had been waiting outside.

Results: release at 3 a.m. with no transportation and back into court to receive a $50 fine.

Although the old penalties had been embarrassing, costly and time consuming, it did not deter many minors from doing it again.

Officer Charles Wurth of Radnor Police d.:!partmentsaid that he feels the new laws will

'We are being as equally diligent about a fake I.D. as we are about underage drinking on campus and illegal parties.'

-John Doyle, director, resident life be effective. ''Once people realize that they can lose their license, they might be a lot less apt to do it,'' Wurth said.

Wurth agreed that the underage drinking situation has worsened slightly over the past 10 years, and the new laws should help to reduce this problem.

"We are being as equally diligent about fake l.D. 's as we are about underage drinking on campus and illegal parties,'' John Doyle, director of resident life, said.

"If someone is found with fake I.D., it will be taken from them," Doyle said.

QVC ...thecable shopping network where you're thes~ ...

When asked if ht>felt that underage drinking on Cabrini's campus was a big problem, Doyle said, "It is a problem and needs to be considered a major issue."

Doyle also said that Cabrini will give seminars about how to tell when someone has drunk too much, how to help someone who is addicted to alcohol and also to explain other signs and dangers of alcohol.

Loquitur recently polled 10 students, all of whom were under 21, and who asked to remain anonymous; about their drinking habits.

Nine out of the l Opolled do drink alcoholic beverages.

Half said they drink only on weekends, four o·thers said only on holidays or special occasions.

One person said he goes to bars, four said they drink at parties and three others said they drink at home.

Only one out of the nine who drink admitted he had a fake I.D. cardi The eight without l.D. said they get their alcohol from a friend who is 21 or over.

Only one person was caught drinking by the police, but was found innocent in court.

Eight of those polled have heard of the latest Pennsylvania state laws about underage drinking.

Seven will continue to drink cautiously, even though tougher laws are in effect.

Only one will not drink, and two are not quite sure if they will take the chance.

Students favor new sign-in policyby Marian Armstrong The days ofleaving student I.D. 'sand signing in at the front desk are here again for the Mansion, Woodcrest, and Xavier.

John Doyle, director of resident life, said that this year's sign-in policy is similar to the one Cabrini had five years ago. The policy requires that all students sign in when visiting between the hours of 6 p.m. and midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and between 4 p.m. and I a.m. for Friday and Saturday.

According to Doyle, guests are required to leave I.D. at the desk for parietal purposes and so there is a record of who is in the building in case of emergencies, such as fires and bomb scares.

Doyle said, "Last year we had a bomb scare in Xavier and there was absolutely no way of knowing who was there.''

Tyrone Carr, assistant director of resident life, said, "I think the sign-in policy is necessary because it helps regulate who is going in or out."

Carr said that all guests, male and female, are required to sign in and leave some form of I.D. If the guest does not have a college I.D., a driver's license or a valid military I.D. will do. However, any other forms of I.D. will not be acceptable.

Randi Schweriner, head resident at W oodcrest, said, ''This year we 're more determined to make the sign-in policy work. The students have been very cooperative and all the guys have actually been coming down at midnight."

Doyle said that each resident of Xavier and Woodcrest is required to do dorm duty one night each semester. He said, "It's part of their responsibility. If they' re going to complain about four hours for the entire semester, they 're going to complain to me about anything.''

Residents of the Mansion, however, will not be required to do dorm duty because there are already enough service grant students to do it there.

Doyle considers dorm duty a good way for students to meet other residents in the bigger dorms. As far as the houses and Counsel are concerned, the residents are far fewer in number and they tend to look out for each other. Therefore dorm duty is not considered as necessary in those dorms.

Claire daSilva, R.A., junior, is in favorof the sign-in procedure. She said," It's not that we want people to feel like little kids. That has nothing in the world to do with it. It's there to protect people."

DaSilva said that she has already caught guys from off campus in the Mansion lobby at 2:30 in the morning as well as finding doors propped open.

Theresa Daly. R.A., senior, said. '·It's good for security reasons. If there were ever a fire, we would know who was in the building."

Pete Bisconte. R.A., senior, said.· 'Not having sign-in at Counsel doesn't bother me.

Counsel is all guys. If there's trouble. they'll take care of it.·• Students who are required to do dorm duty have mixed views.

Students find sources for extra cash

by Kelli Rudden

One female student said that even though she has a work study job and could ask her

parents for money if she had to, would like to get a job off campus. She has encountered problem number two:tranportation.

A number of students have_this problem. Some solutions are to spend some of the money earned from an outside job and hire someone to take them back and forth to work.

A lot of students use money access machines or electronic tellers. However, the most

common finance outlet is Bankof Mom and Dad. At least 80% of the students interviewed said they do ask their parents for money or would if they were really in a bind.

None of the students said that they depend exclusively on their parents for money but they are the primary source.

Curt Laudenberger,freshman, said his

"I feel I feel I have to be much more responsible. I can't say 'Mom, give me $5' everytime I go out.." After depending on her parents all her life she made avery wise realization,"Since I've had to take it out of my own pocket, I've realized the value of money."

parents send him some of his money. "I spend it mostly on stuff I need- books and things like that.'' '' I also spend it on my wash.''

Cathy Manns, sophomore, also gets money from her parents. "Sometimes they send me enough; it depends on how much they have to give me.''

Both Manns and Lauden berger have College Work Study. Work study students are paid by check rather than having hours credited for dollars and deducted from your tuition bill as is done for Service Grant. Students may use this check toward tuition or, if their tuition bill is paid then they may keep this check for themselves. It is another outlet for spending money.

The work study program is overcrowded this year. Many awards were distributed but

Other students who also receive money from home plan on getting jobs once they find something that interests them. Joey Martini, sophomore, said, "I'll do anything but work in a

fast food restaraunt or wash dishes! '' Martini says he is in no rush to get a job because he has cut his expenses from last year. "I only buy what's necessary ,but what's necessary to me and what's necessary to other people are two different things." So how does Martini pay for all this? The same way alot of people do; with money they've saved from summer jobs.

Moira O'Reilly,junior, uses the money she makes from over the summer for important things, "I pay for part of my tuition with what I make over the summer."

Jeff Foley ,sophomore said, "I spent my summer working so my spending money comes from my bank account, which is dwindling fast.'' So what happens when the money does finally dwindle? "I'll beg for money from my parents." Always b~ to square one in a jam.

there haven't been enough jobs created for the demand. When one student asked what could be done for her since there were no jobs left an employee of the Financial Aid office replied, "Nothing."

O'Reilly still holds the same babysitting job she had last year. She said,"I used to call home for money when I was a freshman, like most freshman do." Obviously it's not just the freshmen.

There is, of course, the option of finding a job and working off campus. Pretty simple solution, right? Wrong, say some. "I work too much for work study and service grant to

Trying to make time to get a job off campus is unthinkable, they feel.

Results Kelly Boyer, right inner, said, ''This is a learning year. College field hockey is different from high school because the pace is much faster. We will be a better team next year. Our goal for this year is to learn to work together better,'' she said.

Eastern Coach Ginny Weber said her team could use room for improvement also.

•'The team played well today but we need to talk more, look up more when passing the ball, and finish our plays,'' she said.

Eastern also faced changes this year.

They lost five players leaving the remaining number at eight players. Six freshmen joined the team as well as a new goalie. "It's hard to move freshman in as starters," Weber said.

Eastern's Janice Hashimoto scored the first goal of the game. Other Eastern goals were scored by the following: Beth Sellers assisted by Carol Hershey, Kim Harris assisted by Beth Sellers, and Carol Hershey with no assist.

Eastern College defeated Cabrini in field hockey on Monday, Sept. 26 at Eastern with a final score of 6 to 1.

Cabrini's only goal was scored unassisted by Nicole Helverson, sophomore, in the last 30 seconds of the game.

Both field hockey teams exhibited strong stick action but Eastern was quicker to the draw. Eastern dominated the field in the first half and continued this pace throughout the remainder of the game.

Cabrini players felt that their performance needed improvement. "We need more dedication and practice,'' Chris Federico, center back said. "We did not stick together today. There was an overall lack of communication and hustle. We have to learn to work together," she said.

Coach Mimi Greenwood said, "We have a new team this year, we lost seven players from last year. We are having a hard time adjusting to the new arrangement, and our new offense needs work,'' she said.

The following are returning players for this year: Christine Federico, senior, Stephanie .Cole, Patricia Fitzgerald, and Sarah Melick, all juniors. The following sophomores returned this year: Michele Ballingoff, Dawn Bangle, Kelly Boyer, Bridget Collins, Nicole Helverson, Rose Poljevka, and Jacqueline Savage.

Academics and financial concerns are playing a major role in the low number of new recruits for some of Cabrini's athletic teams. The teams most effected are the volleyball and field hockey teams, which have already started practice.

Although no team has had a problem with too few players for a game, Sue Westgate, junior, CJlplained, "Without a few extra players, the volleyball team has no depth."

Westgate went on to say that if a player were to become injured, the team could have a problem substituting for the injured person.

Many students are apprehensive about joining a sport due to concerns over their academic studies. ' 'I wanted to go out for the tennis team but then realized with all of the papers and reading that is required for my class.es, I didn't think I could do both,'' Christine Larnpazzi, sophomore, explained.

Other students face the problem of earning money for tuition. "Even if I were athletically inclined, I still would not be able to join a team because of the time I put in at

work,'' Johanna Church, sophomore, said.

Scholarships would appear to be a key answer to the tuition problem but, as Coach John Dzik points out, Cabrini cannot offer scholarships due to the lack of funds.

At one point in Cabrini's history, scholarships were part of a financial package based on need. During that time, Cabrini was in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, but now Cabrini is in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

The switch to NCAA was due to the fact that Cabrini could offer only a very small amount of money which was based on the student's need, while other colleges were offering scholarships to recruit outstanding players.

One of the main reasons Cabrini chose to switch over to the NCAA was because every team in that division is a non-scholarship school, which means Cabrini can now compete on a more competitive level.

A third reason for such a poor turnout for Cabrini's athletic teams is a lack of announcements, as Jackie Savage, sophomore, pointed out.

Advertising can play a vital role in how well a team recruits its players. "I didn't know about field hockey tryouts until the day they were being held," Savage said.

One way for students to become aware of whatathletic teams Cabrini has to offerwas by the "Meet the Cavs" night that Cabrini sponsored on Sunday, Sept. 18.

This event allowed the coaches and captains of each team to introduce their sport while being able to discuss and view their expectations for the coming year.

Another problem that this meeting may have been able to resolve, is the fact that many students are unsure if they would be able to play a sport due to lack of experience.

According to Dzik, the essential key in raising recruitment, is money, something which the athletic department does not have.

Even though recruitment is not at an all time high, Coach Dzik feels that it is also not a disastrous year for Cabrini's athletic teams.

Although raising recruitment will be essential, there is not many solutions to the problem other than publicizing athletic teams and possibly trying to raise money for scholarships.

Hard win raises soccer record

by Lou Monaco

The Cabrini men's soccer team raised its record to 4-0 with a hard-fought victory over Frostburg, 3-1.

Brian Doherty, J.J. Koester and John Pacilio, all scored goals for Cabrini. Marty McGonigle, Cabrini's goalkeeper, made several spectacular saves to keep Frostburg from coming back.

Kevin Brennan, senior, says, ''We knew that Allentown and Eastern had already beaten Frostburg, so we knew we had to win to have any chance to repeat as ESAC (Eastern States Athletic Conference) champions."

After losing 3 starters from last year's club, the team's outlook for the year was questionable. The freshmen, 4 of which are starting, have played extremely well, so far. Gary Burnett, sophomore, says, "The new players have played exceptional ball.

They have all been a plus to the team. They have stabilized our defense, they have added a lot of help to our midfield and offensive line and they have been a healthy contribution to the team.''

After a 4-0 record, so far this season, the confidence appears to be growing in the players. Basil Ingemi, senior, said, "We have the ability to win the majority of games that we play this season. Everybody who played last year has gotten better. Ourteam has had two straight, tough games against teams who may have had better skill than us, but through our determination and agressive play, we came out on top.''

The returning players all agree that the addition of the freshman players have been a definite asset to the team's winning attitude and confidence. How do the freshman players feel about their new roles as leaders on the team?

Joe Orsatti, freshman left winger said, "Cabrini's program has really helped me improve my skills as an individual player and as a team player. By far, this is

the most competitive soccer that I have ever played in.''

Orsatti adds, "The older guys on the team all have been really helpful. The freshman players have had a lot of support in the games that we have played in.

There is not much competition within the team. There are no rivalries between players over certain posistions. We play as a team, not as individuals. The way we are playing now, smart-sound soccer, we will go undefeated.''

John Pacilio, freshman halfback, feels, "The style of Cabrini soccer is a different style than I'm used to. There is a lot more physical, rougher and aggressive play involved than when I was in high school, but I feel that the better I get as a player, than the team, as a whole, will do better."

Pacilio adds, "The older players on the team did'nt make us feel bad that we were freshman. They have helped us out a lot."

As for the team's success down the road, Pacilio adds, ''I hope we continue with this winning attitude.

I hope we can win the whole thing because, a lot of key players will be lost next year and the experience will be gone, somewhat. Hopefully, this will be the best season out of my four years here.''

On Saturday, Cabrini will play host to Allentown College in front of a jam-packed Parent's Weekend crowd. What do the player's think of the important contest?

Travis Buividas, sophomore, says, "Allentown does'nt have a chance. I would'nt be surprised if they did'nt show up."

Scott Lecomte, senior, adds, "We have a great chance if we play as well as we can. We will probably be 6-0 going into the game.''

Burnett said, '' Allentown will get buried. It will be a tough game, but our team's strength, determination and communication will give us the victory."
