Directorof co-opdies suddenly

by Jenni Obrecht Mary Parico was working evenings as a sales clerk at John Wanamaker's after the birth of her second child when her former employer came into the store. He asked why she was working there and when she replied that she couldn't find secretarial work at night, he promised to find her a position.

The next week, Parico had a job doing evening secretarial work at Delaware County Community College.

That man was Dr. John T. Carroll.

He was like that with everyone, said Parico, who now works as office managerof Cabrini's co-operative education office. His sudden death from a massive heart attack Saturday at his home in Drexel Hill, has left friends, faculty and students remembering the special ways in which he touched their lives.

Even though he joined Cabrini's staff a short 10 months ago, he was well known for his friendly disposition and helpful manner as director of the newly established cooperative education program.

"You can fill a position, but you can't replace Jack Carroll," said Dr. Joseph Romano, philosophy professor.

Romano, who first met him through an articulation program for transfer students from Delaware County Community College, said Dr. Carroll's personality defied the

Ellen Kaplan, co-ordinator of co-op, said she has worked with other directors, but Carroll was unique, He taught her how to deal with people and how to run a program in a friendly, comfortable environment. The candy dishes, always full and available to students, and the pleasant atmosphere of the co-op office are evidence of this.

Dr. Carroll possessed the ability to do his

job well and to motivate those around him to do their best.

Students recall him as supportive and interested in helping them find a co-op placement which would best suit their individual needs.

Dr. Carroll often related his experiences and personal anecdotes in helping students with their resumes and co-ops.

Brian Tripoli.junior, ran into problems at the beginning of his co-op. He said he called Dr. Carroll three times in one day, asking fOf

help. Dr. Carroll took the time to answer each call and he worked with Tripoli in figuring out a solution to the problem.

Dr. Carroll maintained a close relationship with former co-workers at Delaware County after coming to Cabrini, often having lunch with them.

Joan Hickman, his secretary for 11 years at Delaware County, described him as a people oriented person, respected by those who knew him.

Dr. Carroll was interested in college administration, especially in the area of curriculum development. In 1977, he assisted Romano in instituting a business administration program at Cabrini.

He earned his bachelor's in education from Villanova University, and recevied both his master's and doctorate in educational administration from Temple University.

A 22 yearveteranoflheMarineCorps,he took pride in several commendations he received for his service in Korea and Viet-

nam.

Dr. Carroll, who retired from the Marines in 1971, was buried Thursday, with full military honors, in Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery, Broomall.

Dr. Carroll is survived by his wife Patricia; daughters Barbara Ellen Farrell and Elizabeth; sons John T. 3d, Michael M. and Stephen P., and five grandchildren.

Concensus:studentsneglectvoting

by Johanna Church Election Day is Nov. 8, and popular consensus is that not many students will be voting.

Peggy Cherpak, president, Radnor division League of Women Voters; Joseph Zazyczny, secretary of the state of Pennsylvania and James Hedtke, assistant professor of history and politcal science, all agree that teens and students are the group of voters that votes the least.

All agree that voting is a very important issue and attention has to be put to those who don't vote.

Cherpak feels that voting is essential to keep our government healthy.

"In a democracy, if people don't vote, eventually there is no democracy,'' Cherpak said.

Cherpak feels there are some substanial reasons why teens and students do not vote, and help should be given to them.

"By not voting, teens have made themselves unimportant," she said. "I think they don't vote because they are unsure about who to vote for."

"There is not enough political information taught in schools,'' Cherpak said. ''Instead of chastising students, we ought to inform them."

Hedtke feels that' 'voting is a very important, essential, political action. It is important for teens to vote so that they can express their opinion and will, to develop a habit of voting.''

Hedtke's reasoning behind why teens do not vote is different from Cherpak's.

"They might not vote because they feel they are independent from the system or they don't yet have a stake in voting," he said. ''They are rebelling against authority or they are just too transient and feel they cannot vote yet."

Hedtke also added that a candidate's stand on the issues of education funding, foreign affairs and military standings are where students' votes will make a difference.

Zazyczny has a stronger view of the importance of voting and what should be done about the non-voters.

"Voting is an obligation of every citizen and those who do not meet with that obligation should be penalized, "he said.

When asked if he felt it is important for attitude that does not coincide with what students and teens to vote, Zazyczny said, "It Cherpak, Hedtke, and Zazyczny are saying is definitely important and it gives students about teens and their voting tendencies. a voice and feel of what government is all "I vote because I want to and I want a say about." in who is going to be president,'' Curtin said.

Zazyczny also said that absentee ballots The process of registering, for those who are legitimate and sometimes necessary for are not registered in Pennsylvania, is simple those students who wish to vote, but will not and easy. be in the registered legal residence at election A voter registration form can be picked time. up at any public library, state liquor store, or Some Cabrini students agree with township building.

The rightto vote A common privilege bestowed upon Americans by the Bill of Rights,that many tiines goes unused, is the right to vote.

Voting turnout for a presidential election rarely exceeds 65 percent of the registered voters, excluding all those who have never registered.

Any election, but most importantly the presidential election, is a time for all citizens to become active participants in the political process that makes up the United States of America, but most importantly students who are the future leaders of this nation.

Having a voice in the government, as well as taking part in it, gives us the chance to be involved and say we contributed in the shaping of our country.

Reasons that keep people away from the voting polls are such things as poor health, inadequate information about where and how to vote, transportation problems and the plain old dislike of politics.

In other words - these are excuses for laziness and for not taking part in the shaping and cultivating of this great nation especially when registration forms and absentee ballots are so easy to obtain.

Where there is a will there is a way. So anyone who finds voting important will make an effort to get to the voting booth on Election Day. When one considers that our forefathers fought for the right to vote, while citizens in this day and age shrug off the responsibility saying their vote won't make a difference, one realizes that something went wrong somewhere. Uninformed students are the majority of those claiming their vote won't matter because they don't understand the voting system.

The women's suffrage movement fought for years so that women could take part in government, yet some women libbers stay home when their opinion is most needed. Did Emmeline Pankhurst fight for nothing when she spent years of her life trying to get the right to vote for all women?

What has happened to our nation? Why do people become uninterested, reluctant and dispirited every four years when someone must be picked to run this country? Why don't students become involved?

According to polls, most people who are young, uneducated, and lower middle class abstain from voting. Information is the key so that all classes of people are made aware of the facts concerning the election of the president.

There isn't a more fundamental decision that we are called upon to make than the selection of the individuals who will govern us. People from all walks of life must take part so that the president truly reflects the choice of all the American people.

It's a shame to think that Walter Lippman was right when he said, "The common man has little time for, and little interest in politics.''

There must be a change and it must happen soon so that the United States has a citizenry that takes an active role in government.

Making friends, keeping friends--it'sworth it lisa brzezicki

It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting in the backseat of the family station wagon heading for Cabrini and for the best years of my life. I was excited to take on the challenge that was ahead of me, as most freshmen are, but I couldn't help worrying, as the old Ford neared my destination, about whether or not I would get along with my roommates and if it would be easy for me to make friends at this strange new place. And the friends that I did make, would they last for a lifetime like so many people told me they would?

Even though there was quite a few people from my high school going to Cabrini, I still felt a knot in my stomach as my dad drove the station wagon up Cabrini's long driveway.

Fortunately, after some time, the knot soon disappeared and I found myself feeling very comfortable in this place I had once called strange and new.

So what's my point to all of this? Well the way I see it, the friends that one makes throughout his/her college life play an important part in how a person develops, whether the friendships are lasting or not. I would like to take the time to thank those friends who have made a difference in my life since I've been here at Cabrini.

I can still remember freshman year quite clearly. And why not, I have some great memories. Memories of endless nights talking about anything and everything, of singing into brushes to our favorite songs.

There were uncontrollable fits of laughter and silent moments that seemed to make the friendships grow deeper.

When sophomore year rolled around, I noticed some changes. There were still crazy times, like the time four of us walked to Denny's in a major snowstorm or the time a bunch of us piled into someones car with no destination. However, I began to see changes in myself as I made new friendships and

.___I

experienced new things. My values changed as did my interests, but the memories still remained.

These are the times and experiences that I shared with my friends that made my first two years at Cabrini special.

I must admit it wasn't always a barrel of laughs. There were some hard times. but thank God und'emeath the pain and stubbornness there was the strength and courage to work things out, even if it did seem like forever.

It was times like these that taught me just how much I valued my friendships.

Looking back on freshman and sophomore year I realize now just how much I have grown and how much my friends played a major part. I have become a better person because of them. My sense of trust and loyalty has strengthened.

There were times when I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing here and they straightened my crooked path with their support a~d ~ouragement to go on. If I needed anything at anytime, they were there. I see so many people go through college making friends, dropping friends and never really establishing lasting friendships. But I imagine it's all a part of finding out who you really are. It's part of the whole college experience.

I consider myself very lucky to have found the friends that I did. There isn't enough I could say that would express how much they mean to me or how much I care for them.

I know this year and next year will be as memorable as the first two and that we will continue to grow closer.

Now, with only one more year left, I find myself looking more towards the future and what it will bring for me, where I will be, what I will be doing with my life.

I do know that whatever avenue I decide to take in life, my friends will continue to play a big part in it. Although I may not see them as much as I did in college, I believe that we will always keep in touch.

I just hope that I have shown them the meaning of friendship that they have shown me. This one is for you guys. You're the best!

Article upsets commuter To the editor: I'm a commuter and I have to disagree with the article, "Many view commuter status negatively," written in last week's Loquitur on the way residents treat commuters differently. Whenever I'm asked whether I am a commuter or resident and I answer "a commuter" most people ask me where I am commuting from and how long it takes me to get here. If I ever have to stay over because of late activities, my resident friends invite me to stay over. I feel that if you want to belong to the Cabrini family, you have to put an effort into becoming involved and making friends with the residents.

Shouldstudentshave to do dormduty?

Did you ever wonder where our tuition money goes? It certainly doesn't seem like it goes to security as residents of Xavier, Woodcrest and the Mansion must devote four hours a semester towards dorm duty.

Some say it's a community watch program while others claim it's a pain in 'the neck and an infringement on student's rights. There are many other things that a student can be doing instead of sitting in a cage such in the case of Xavier.

Residents pay for their rooms and one aspect that is included in the fee is security of the building. The administration can pay for an alarm system for Xavier which goes off constantly morning, noon, and night yet can't pay someone to do dorm duty for four hours a night. Alarms are great but do all doors have t~ be alarmed 24 hours a day, making all residents leave through one door?

Last years work study and work grant students were given this job and many slacked off as the year progressed due to the lack of supervision by the RA 's. This program should have been made stronger and more strictly enforced instead of complete dissolution. In the beginning of the year student's were running around trying to find themselves jobs on campus to fulfill their work study and grant obligations when they could have simply done dorm duty.

One can only wonder how well students will perform when made to do something they don't want to do. Is this really security? Do residents really ask all visitors to sign in or are they there just for show? What can a student do if someone attacks them or forces their way into the building? .

The administration is planning big things for the college while forgetting important issues such as students security. We are here to learn, not to be put to work as security guards for Cabrini's dormitories!

- Did you ever wonder what yourtuition pays for? Believe it or not it does pay for secuirty in terms of alarms, resident assitants and security itself.

It would be contradictory to not use the alarms tuition pays for 24 hours especially if they were bought to secure the buildings at all times. Do you realize that security problems can occur during the day as well as night? If we open one door and leave the other door locked then what is the use of having one door locked?

Students who are on work grant and on work study are being paid to work at the desk. The program has become more strict then it was in the past because resident directors such as resident managers, assistant director of resident life or the director of resident life have to sign the hours sheet.

If you think about it, sitting at the desk for four hours should not be a waste of anybody's time. People can do homework or write letters or even relax and watch televison. If they put the four hours to good use it could be useful to them.

The policy does not make security iron clad, but it helps. If someone walked in that was violent, then the girl or guy on duty could call the resident assistant and in tum they would call security. This policy is not expecting anyone to be superman for the dorm.

Try to reason the policy in terms of security for a home. Would you honestly want a security officer to sit in your own home all night? Would you want your home to be safe?

Would you want cooperation from people in your family to lock doors at all times and stop someone from coming in that they did not want in?

So just think of Woodcrest, Xavier and the Mansion as your home for nine months, because in reality it is. Home is where you live and where you feel safe and secure.

If you do not want the sign in policy to help with security then do not complain, yell and scream when security problems arise because you are the one that did not cooperate.

Nobody wants to hear you!

Honor students challenged at convocation

by LaTonya Lucas

Cabrini's best were honored on Friday, Sept. 30 for their academic achievements, hard work and dedication.

For some parents, there wasn't a better way to begin Parents Weekend.

"When my children succeed, it makes me cry, cry from happiness," Joseph Zazyczny said in a response to a Charles A. Mastronardi Service and Leadership award presented to his son, Joel Zazyczny.

It was Sister Eileen Currie, president, wtio began convocation by first, a prayer and then, by telling the audience that Cabrini College has a sense of community. '' At Cabrini College, we pride ourselves on the community environment. It has diversity in the courses of study and in the knowledge of our professors, but that diversity has unity because all are moving in the same direction in the pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of truth,• ' Currie said.

Currie introduced Dr. Antoinette Schiesler, academic dean, by describing her as an academic leader, an academic scholar.

The address, given by Schiesler, was prepared to challenge the honor students to become more than honor students. The topic was "creativity and the liberally educated .person".

According to Schiesler, who majored in chemistry, minored in math, has knowledge of physics, biochemistry, astronomy, computer programming and computer application, she chose this topic because she was intrigued by that document that stated the qualities of a liberally educated person.

She also felt that this group was a good group to talk about creativity with.

"Because you arean honor student, doesn't mean that you execute creativity," Schiesler said.

=~,_;....:._

These peer tutors for the following SUBJECTS

Throughout the speech, Schiesler referred to Robert Shank's, "The Creative Attitude".

According to Shank, creative people have the need to wonder. Schiesler continued by

saying that students may be able to do everything that is listed on a syllabus, but they may never question it.

She suggested that the students challenge their professors and ask questions. "lttakes

creativity to solve problems," Schiesler said.

Among the five qualities of a liberally educated person listed in the handbook, Schiesler said that one quality was missing from the list and that is having a sense of humor.

She told the honor students to make their experience at Cabrini challenging and fun so thatthis experience will prepare them for the rest of their lives.

According to Joseph Zazyczny, he and his wife raised their children to be flexible in theirthinking. After convocation had ended, Zazyczny said, "obviously,Iamveryproud of my son (Joel). It supported his mother's and my philosophy of how we raised our children."

Peggy Wilson, mother of Laura Wilson, was also proud and surprised. When Laura was presented with the Charles A. Mastronardi Service and Leadership award, Wilson said, "I looked at my daughter, Barbara and said 'who are they talking about."' Wilson also said that she is really proud of Laura and she is sad that this is her last year.

Laura, who is involved in a number of activities ranging from president of Kappa Sigma Omega to a medical assistant, said it was odd to hear people say things about her and odd to hear all the things that she has done. '' I don't do things to build a resume,'• she said, "I just do them."

The 'Last Temptation' controversy The Last Temptation .afilm about faith

by Dr. Joseph Romano It seems that more has been written about this film by those who have not seen it than by those who have. It is unfortunate that many consider the motion picture to be, at best. offensive to Christian belief; or, at worst, an attack of the very foundation of Christianity.

Most of the film's critics seem to assume a simplistic either-or position. Either one is a believer and a non-viewer; or a viewer and a non-believer. Having seen the film early in the second week of its run in Philadelphia, I confess to being both a viewer and a believer.

The film's disclaimer to representing any theological position or base in scripture does little to assuage the offended, and while there is less front page media coverage of the debate, the controversy continues on the picket lines and in the pulpits. A recent poster in a small town diner encouraged people to visit a local church for a film presentation of "Christ's Last DaysThe True Story''.

One suspects that preachers will have enough fiery material to anathematize the media and the film industry for a millenium or two.

A complaint that has been roundly heard, laments the films depiction of Christ as a

human being only-and a weak and cowardly human at that. Ironically the film's fictionalized version of Christ, showing Him as a subject to human doubts, failings, and temptations, is more credible than previous portrayals which have him floating on pink clouds on cheap kitchen calendars. Scorcese' s Christ is a real human being and a real God who slowly discovers the Divine Person juxtaposed within him.

His apparent cowardliness is really an inverted courage of the highest order. He desperately tries to deny all the signs pointing with increasing clarity to his awful calling. Why should he be called to such a lofty and terrifying station? Perhaps ifhe proved to be unworthy, the signs would go away.

He becomes a vacillator in the Zealot movement, a disappointment to his mother and Magdalene, a crossmaker for the hated Romans. He wants to be despised by God and men, and there are many veiled references to the sins of all humankind which Jesus carries in his tormented mind and body.

These are the sins which he must suffer anddiefor,asonlya human being can suffer and die. Anything short of this portrayal of Jesus' humanity would render the crucifixion as some sort of devine magic show.

Everything is real and nothing is magical about this MAN-GOD. As the relentless and

Mary Magdelene - a prostitute?

The enduring temptation for Christians

by Dr. Margaret Reher Before adding one more voice to the discussion engendered by Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ" let me make several disclaimers: I have not yet seen the film; I did, powever, read Nikos Karantzakis' novel, upon which the film is faithfully based, years ago. It was as controversial a work then as the movie is today.

I both support the right of artists to interpret religious subjects and agree that even the most liberal of Christian believers must admit that there are aspects of the film that are offensive to religious sensibilities.

I do not think that the movie should be banned nor am I uncomfortable with the idea of Jesus' sexuality: I believe what the gospel proclaimed--that he is true God and true man.

What has bothered me most is the reaction to the film which has revealed two viruses which infect large segments of the Christian population: anti-semitism and anti-feminism.

The first has rightly been deplored in a variety of secular and religious publications. Why is it so difficult for some Christians to come to terms with the fact that Jesus was, and is, a Jew? The second virus, anti-feminism, has scarcely beenmentioned. (NCR Vol.24, no.

38, 8/26/88,24 is a notable exception). It is this issue, sexism, which I want to address; the more insidious because it is more covert. Perhaps Kazantzakis can be forgiven for his inaccurate presentation of Mary Magdalene; however, his Greek tradition should have served him far better.

To continue to propagate a false image of Mary Magdalene via the popular media

is tragic. This is all most people will remember. It is unfortunate that Scorsese, with three decades of biblical scholarship from which to profit, could not, or would not, move out of the mold into which Karantzakis had cast Mary Magdalene. I understand that the movie is a work of fiction and does not follow Gospel lines, but here, I wish that it had.

For years, exegetes (biblical specialists) have been trying to purge the persona of Mary Magdalene from erroneous historical accretions and return her to her rightful position. There is nothing, I repeat nothing, in the Christian scriptures which suggests that Mary was a prostitute.

A careful reading of the gospel text reveals a woman, a close collaborator with Jesus, perhaps a widow of means, who stood by him when the men ran away. She was the first witness to the mystery of Easter. The early church honored her with exaulted titles such as: "Apostle to the Apostles" and "First among the Apostles." Consider these implications! Her Feast Day was celebrated on the Sunday immediately after Easter. This tradition continued until the tenth century in the East and the sixth century in the West.

Over the course of time, Mary, like the Jew, Alfred Dreyfus at the tum of the twentieth century, was stripped of her rank. i:,er persona was deformed and recreated "in the image and likeness" of male, mainly celibate, fantasies.

Behold -- the"fallen woman!" Isitany wonder that women today are having such a hard time reclaiming their true position as bearers of the Gospel message?

I deplore bigotry in any guise; antisemitism and misogyny sicken me to the heart.

tortuous signs become more manifest, He finds the words to say. Sometimes the words comfort, sometimes appease, sometimes infuriate the crowd. He pushes on, however, and comes upon his divine miraculous powers haltingly - as if He himself is not quite sure of the powers within Him. The blind are made to see; the lame to walk; and Lazarus is raised from the dead, as only it could be portrayed, with astonishment and incredulity on the part of Jesus and Lazurus -- and us!

In approaching Christ from his human side, the movie allows us to experience vicariously the suffering of Jesus and gain more insight into the meaning of his death.

He carries the weight of humankind within Him, and He does not like it. Why can't He belike othermen? Whydidn'tHemarrythe woman he loved, please his mother, support His friends against the Romans?

Slowly, Jesus comes to the realization of whatweasviewersknew allalong. Hecan't be like other men, because He is not like other men. It is the ultimate paradox of Christianity.

We mortal beings must contend with the life-long struggle of the body and spirit which we are. We watch with compassion as Jesus struggles with a double dualism: the competing demands of a human mind and body, and the dual human and divine natures.

Christians admit to a paradoxical Jesus who is both human and divine. No mortal being knows what that means. The faith of a believer is tested and the film gives us the opportunity to test our faith by witnessing the test of Jesus. Both Christ and the viewer are caught between faith and knowledge.

This human-side presentation of Christ dramatizes the Christian mystery of faith in a context rarely established through any form of catechetics.

But of course there is much more. One suspects that the bone of contention over this film has little to do with the mystery of faith. The film, following the book, has the daring to fictionalize a "last temptation."

Satan tempts a dying Christ with a final hallucinatory vision of what it would be like for Christ to be like other men.

Married to the woman who loves him, surrounded by his children, respected as a tradesmen in the community-- the vision is a real temptation. And, of course, the last temptation involves s __ . Even a suggestion, let alone a portrayal involving Jesus with the 'S' word would be enough to set most Christians off. For some reason all other temptations - greed, bigotry, inside trading - pale in the yellow light of the 'S' word. There is a feeling here that a film showing a modem Christ being tempted by illegal junk bond dealers would be well received.

Whatever the case;lhe film's coherency is preserved in the final temptation. In the desert, Satan had promised to return and once again appeal to the best of what was in a man. What could be better for a man to share his life with a loving spouse, children, and friends.

The final drama highlights the conflict within Jesus and gives additional meaning to what he accomplishes in the end.

The film is about the mystery of faith, not sex; and to thinkotherwise is a bit myopic.

Bookstore fashion sales reach new high

by Kelly Ann McGillan Clothing sales have doubled this year over any other previous year, according to Albert Vassallo, bookstore manager. The sales increase is due to the bigger variety, new styles, and the re-ordering of traditional favorites.

The increase comes even after the shipment of clothes arrived late, following leadership camp and freshman orientation.

These two events usually kick off fall sales.

Vassallo also commented that the best sellers this year so far are hooded sweatshirts and the new style T-shirts.

Although Cabrini College clothes will probably never reach the pages of Vogue or GQ, around campus they are making quite a fashion statement.

Most freshmen interviewed said that they boughttheir first Cabrini clothes when they came for interviews or at the orientation in the summer even though the shipment hadn't arrived.

Many agreed that the motivation to buy was pride in attending Cabrini, and to show people at home what school they were going to in the fall.

Angie Corbo, a member of the bookstore staff, said that surprisingly most clothes are bought by alumni and parents. Vassallo commented that he wanted to phase out the children's clothing line but couldn't because somebody always wants something for their children or for their younger sibling.

Vassallo is also expecting big sales during Parents Weekend, primarily because of the greater variety this year. Corbo said, "Some years Parents Weekend is hot in the bookstore, others it's not so hot. This year will probably be hot."

Senior Terrie Pancio said that the parents will buy for themselves as well, andevery-

one will walk out of the bookstore with at least one sweatshirt.

When asked about student sales, bookstore staff members commented students usually charge home but they are usually buying something else to justify it with their parents. As a side note, Vassallo said he has never heard of parents complaining about high charge payments.

Vassallo quoted his prices around$ I3 to $15 for T-shirts and between $22 and $29 for sweatshirts and sweatpants.

Some students think that the prices are a little high.

John Jaczko, freshman, said, "They're too expensive. I would buy more clothes but, as a student, I don't have the extra money to spend."

When asked why they buy Cabrini clothes, students gave a wide variety of answers.

Laurie Copple, junior, said, "I buy them because it's a novelty." Eileen Campbell, sophomore, and Maria Tatta, junior, both agreed that they buy for comfort.

While juniors Colin Coakley and Alice Mahoney said they buy from influence, seeing a certain article on somebody else, Bernadine Febbo, sophomore, said she bought one Cabrini item, a rain jacket, out of necessity.

Other Cabrini students said that they have been getting Cabrini clothes long before they were students. Dana Lepis, sophomore, said that she has between 20 and 30 a1ticles of Cabrini clothes mainly because her mother went to Cabrini.

Jayda Zazyczny, freshman, said most of her Cabrini wear came as Christmas presents from big brother Joel.

Cabrini clothes are also being worn by faculty members. Physical education instructor Helen Goodwin said that she buys because she likes people to know that she worl(s at the college.

The greater variety this year in clothes is due to ordering from several different companies instead of two or three as in years past.

Pancio and 1988 graduate Linda Panetta were chiefly responsible for the ordering. They set up appointments for company representatives to display their samples during the summer.

Pancio said that generally Vassallo just lets the staff members order what they think will sell and rareJy suggests ordering an article. Staff members also said that if enough people suggest that they order a type of clothing, they will try to find a distributer to order it from.

Parking crunch affects resideots, commuters

by Felicia Falcone Picture this. You're racingtoyour l 1:10 class on a Tuesday morning, chiding yourself for choosing to sleep a few extra minutes.

You expect the parking lot to be filled, but in no way are you prepared for what you see.

There are cars not only in every space of Sacred Heart lot, but on the soccer field as well. The soccer field? What is going on?

Do you park far away, or do you just go home?

Or this. You and a bunch of your friends have just returned to campus at 3 a.m., after a night out. You expect to park at your residence. Again, every spot is taken. Do you park up at Sacred Heart Hall and walk?

Or park illegally and risk getting a warning or a ticket?

These are just a few of the problems of Cabrini's parking system. This is affecting both commuters and residents. At Cabrini, all students may sign up for parking stickers by paying $20. Other colleges handle parking registration differently.

John Doyle said, "Tickets are not given automatically, but a warning is issued first."

Parking illegally can also pose problems for emergency vehicles. ~onfiglio said, "It is necessary to preserve the right of way for emergency vehicles. Parking in unauthorized spots could hamper the access of emergency vehicles to residence halls.''

John Doyle also added, '' Ambulances have had problems getting around illegally parked cars."

Students who have concerns or opinions about the parking situation are invited to attend the Parking Committee meetings which are on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 12:45 p.m. in the Dean of Students Conference Center. The meetings are chaired by Dan Neyer, director of security. Bonfiglio encouraged interested student~ to attend these meetings.

pea ers to nng Educationmajorsvalue ~xperienceto Cabrini morethan money "FreshEggs"to informstudents

by Jenni Obrecht By the time the average American has reached the age of 21, he or she has been exposed to between one and two million advertising messages. The goal for advertisers is to present messages that make their products or services stand out from the rest.

Frank A. Mainero, president and chief operating officer of Grant Marketing Communications, in Conshohocken, will present factors influencing effective advertising.

"Fresh Eggs and flying Lessons - How Advertising Works," the first in a series of lectures sponsored by the English/communications department, is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 13, from I · to 2 p.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall.

"There is far more concentration on emotional, intellectual and sensory appeals in advertising today," said Mainero, former president of J. Walter

Thompson/West, the third largest advertising agency. "The advertiseruses these three appeals to pull the consumer into the commercial.''

In 1985, Mainero founded Wyndam Ransom & Winthorp in Los Angeles, a multi-divisional management consulting company and advertising agency.

He has experience on both the executive and client side of the business, working as executive vice president of Mccann-Erickson in Los Angeles, and as president and board of directors for J. Walter Thompson.

He also worked as senior vice president of marketing and sales for Pre! Corporation and for Procter and Gamble, where he began his career.

Mainero, a member of the Civilian Advisory Board to the United States Military Academy at West Point, is national co-chairman of Project Ahead, a national clearing house for information and education about AIDS.

Missionaryto share experience

by Jenni Obrecht Most people cannot imagine life in a war-tom country, without modem conveniences, but Kathy McA!eer experienced this and much more firsthand in the Central American country of Nicaragua.

McAleer, a native of Southwest Philadelphia, will discuss her experiences as a Maryknoll missionary during "What North Americans Should Know About Nicaragua," on Thursday, Oct. 13 at7:30 p.m. in the library conference room. Slides, shot during her stay from 1985 to 1988, will accompany the lecture.

McAleer, who holds a bachelor's in individual and family studies from Penn State University, lived and worked in the city of Ocotal, near the northwestern Honduran border, teaching such basics of daily livi

and bringing water to the village.

Maryknoll, a Catholic organization founded in the early 1900's, sends missionaries to work with the impoverished and needy in over 30 mission sites worldwide.

Margaret Reher, religion professor, arranged for McAleer to speak in conjunction with a book her students are reading entitled, The Same Fate As the Poor, by Judith M. Noone, which chronicles the lives, and deaths, of three Maryknoll missionaries in Central America.

Reher's course deals with the church and the changing world and she feels that Maryknoll is the most experienced in Nicaragua's changing state of affairs.

"I don't think most Americans are as aware as they should be about America's role in Nicaragua or the opposing Contra and Sandinista forces,'' she said.

by Susan Holefelder People generally think that today's generation of college students only want to make money. But for a substantial number of Cabrini students, that's not true.It is pretty much self explanatory why students want to make umney. Why does anyone want to make money?

A recent study done by the New York Times indicated that being well off financial!y was a key goal of freshman by a record of76%. This figure nearly doubled the level of 39% in 1970.

But, why go in to education? It use to be that everyone was saying, "Don't go into teaching, it is hard to find a job.''

Now, studies by the New York Times show, this fall 8.1% of freshman plan to pursue a career in education. This figure up from 4.7% in 1982.

At Cabrini, 29 freshman entered the field of education. This is compared to 24 entering Communications, 20 in Business, 11 in

Accounting, 2 in Human Resources, 2 in Marketing and 59 entering general studies. '' More sJudents are going into education because the job market is opening, schools are better now and more schools are being built because the student population is growing,'' says Dr. Dawn Middleton, department head of education.

It seems that there has been a general shift in the educational job market. For a while the number of people in education declined due to the demand being so low.

Therefore, opening the job market once again and increasing the demand.

On the same note, ''Teaching placement officers continue to improve job markets for their candidates as compared to previous years,'' states the 1989 Association of Schools, Colleges, Universities staff (ASCUS) annual report.

When asked why they wanted to enter the field of education, students replied, "because they like kids."

Scholarathlete

by Lou Monaco

Run, shoot, study. Run, kick, study. Study, study, study.

These are the characteristics of a scholar-athlete. A scholarathlete is an individual, whose grade point average in academics is a 3.0 or above and who plays on at least one varsity athletic team.

These are students who have -enonnous pressures and responsibilities, both in the classroom and on the playing field. They have to maintain a high standard of academic achievement, as well as putting forth their best effort on the athletic field.

How does an individual manage being a leader in the classroom as well as being a leader on the ball field?

Chris Federico is a senior here at Cabrini. Her major is biology and her list of participation on the athletic field includes field hockey, cross-country and basketball. On top of all this, she is a medical assistant (MA) for the residents that live on campus.

She says, ''The most important thing you can do for yourself is to set a list of priorities that you have to get done.

by BarbaraWilson

Basil Ingemi is one of the scholar athletes.(photo by Jeff Moore) Federico said, '' Sometimes you seem so overwhelmed by all that you have to do, that you start to feel the pressure.

When that happens, you take a deep breath and take it one step at a time.''

With all of this pressure put on an individual, sometimes people wonder if that individual is just fed up with everything, responsibilities, pressures, deadlines, etc.

Anne-Marie Baeurle is captain of the women's crosscountry team. She is a senior, majoring in elementary education and early childhood and is a RA (resident assistant) on campus.

She said, "I'm never fed up. I knew going into this . "role," what I was m for. You have to know what to expect in this situation. You have to know when to study, when to play in athletics, yet know when to make time for yourself.

If not, it will overwhelm you."

Kilroy has a different opinion. ''I do get fed up sometimes. I try to put things off till the last minute. The work load gets heavy at times. That's the way I like to deal with it, though. I love the pressure."

Basil Ingemi is a senior playing for Cabrini's soccer team.

He averages well-above a3.0and is a second-year resident assistant.

He said, "You get frustrated a lot. You have so much to do in such a small space of time, that it does get rough. I just do the work and take it as it comes.''

Are scholar-athletes stereotyped? Do other students treat these people differently?

Ingemi said, "People treat me the same as anyone else.

I'm not better because I am a scholar-athlete. It's two different things that make up one lifestyle.''

Baeurle says, "People treat you for who you are. I'm not treated any differently than anyone else. My friends are interested in what I do and I'm interested in what they do.

It works both ways. People tend to look up to you for certain things because, you have taken up a leadership role, but basically, you 're on the same level as everyone else and people appreciate that."

Federico concludes, ''People respect me for who I am.

They understand the posistion that I am in and they are very supportive and considerate in whatever I do."

Make sure you have a concentrated amount of time to get each priority accomplished. Basically, you have to do what you gotta do."

The main problem for scholar-athletes is time. Where can you get more of it to do the things you have to do? How can you budget your time so you can have time for yourself?

Brian Kilroy is majoring in business, averaging close to a 3.5, going into his junior year. His athletics include basketball, golf and intramurals.

Kilroy says, '' I budget my time to get the most out of my academics. Academics are first priority to athletics, although, they do set the tone for my involvement in the athletic fields that I have chosen.''

Kilroy adds, ''The time factor takes care of itself. You do what you gotta do and it always seems to fit in somehow."

This year's women's tennis team have gone through a few changes since the beginning of their sports season. Since moving up from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletic to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the team has had a record of two wins and three loses.

According to Coach Reggie Day, the members of the team are a unified group that works as a well oiled machine and has real character individually, as well as collectively. '"fake one player out of the game and the machine does ndt run as well as it did with all the players," Day said.

The switch to NCAA has put the team in a more competitive level of athletics. Although they are not totally competing with all NCAA teams, they are working their way up to a full schedule of other NCAA tennis teams.

Although the team is down three games, they are meeting their goals for this season.

Coach Day's objectives for the remaining season consist of easing the girls into a program of working on strategies and tactics, as well as having the girls adjust to being in Division III of the NCAA. "What we are looking for this season is to go out and do our best while having fun,'' 0a)' said.

Another problem that the tennis team has been faced with is the factthat Cabrini has no real tennis courts. On Cabrini's campus, there is only one existing tennis court which is in need of repairs. Even if the court was to be repaired, at least two more courts are needed to effectively play as well as practice.

Team support is also lacking. Since Cabrini does not have home courts, they must use Malvern Prep School's tennis courts This not only is an inconvenience, but is also a problem for Cabrini tennis fans to help support the team.

"We usually have about five people show up for each game and those five people are mostly parents,'' Terri Pancio, senior, said.

Lack of players is another aspect that the tennis team has had to deal with. Although there are just enough players for every match, the team is sometimes affected if a player is injured or ill.

A disadvantage in having just enough players is that if someone can not play, then some players may have to play twice, which then can affect their game.

Although the women's tennis team has not had any formal coaching the past two years, last year they went to the National Championships.

This year since they made the switch to NCAA, they hope to become more recognized. Another goal that they are looking towards is the winning of the Eastern Athletic State Conference.

"Everyone on the team is giving their all. We are not always expected to win because we all realize every one has their ups and downs,'' Pancio said

Last year Cabrini's women's volleyball team had a record of 19 - I0. After six games so far this year, the team has yet to experience victory. The team remains optimistic.

The coach is mad.

Gerry Szabo, coach of the women's volleyball team, said the statement in the Loquitur of the team having an unofficial pre-season is "garbage."

Szabo said what the team actually had was four or five days of half the team practicing together. There are no seniors on the team this year, which, according to Szabo, means there is no automatic leadership and preseason would have been the time to establish it. · 'There is no way any team would try to compete with no practice, yet fall teams are being forced to.'' Szabo said. '' I don't know

what's wrong with Cabrini; you never putout less than the best you can do.

"The winning attitude the team started out with, which took so long to build up, has now turned to a losing attitude," said Szabo.

"We have kids trying to represent the college who now have the added weight of no financial support."

Cabrini is now a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III, and as such, no longer offers scholarship money to athletes.

Szabo says the volleyball team is made up of nice kids, trying hard, but with no support, a late start and dwindling enthusiasm, · 'the college is getting what it deserves out of the season.''

Trish Payton, co-captain, does feel the season is progressing, though slowly. "We have to work more as a team, instead of individuals.'.'

Payton feels that trying new things with no camp may be contributing to the slow start of the team. "It's not going to stay this way, that's for sure."

Payton i~ optimistic about the team's future and it's pursuit of the Middle Atlantic Conference championship. To win the championship, all remaining conference games must be won. This calls for a repeat of last year's performance in which Cabrini took the Eastern State Athletic Conference North (ESAC) championship, and the ESAC South champs will have to be defeated. Along with these victories, Eastern College will have to lose at least one of their conference games.

"It just takes practice to work it out together,'' Payton said, '' and once we get there, that's it."

Though she realizes the team has the potentia! to win, Carol Ann Gross, who is a

sophomore playing her second season with the team, agrees that the team needs time to learn to work together.

"Individual talent is good, but individual . talent must come together to benefit the team. Every game timing is better with hits, but we need practice,'' says Gross.

Although the victories have not been there, Gross feels the team is improving in passing to the hitters, and adds that the last couple of games have gone to four or five.

Christi Courseault, co-captain, and Kathleen Rowan, sophomore, work well together with Rowan setting for Courseault' s spike. '' Since we are friends off the court, we have no problem communicating,'· says Courseault, "We don't hesitate to tell one another what we are doing wrong.'' co·urseault has confidence that the team, too, will grow to play well together.

If you're not has already taken place in the Mansion on familiar with the new club at Cabrini, it's September 18th. called the Captain's Club.

The club has two main goals for this year.

The group enables the captains of all the First on the agenda was to have the sports athletic teams on campus to meet once a banquet, which is usually held in Cl}brini's week and bring their individual sports into. gym, taken off campus. Second the athletes one harmonious existence.

the junior varsity or varsity teams, then they would have a better understanding of what it would be like to have your school cheer you on," said Mike Feely, captain of the men's cross country team.

About moving the athletic banquet off campus, John Dzik, athletic director,said, "It would be nice to have the banquet off campus, but having it somewhere else would mean that the athletes would have to pay, not to mention the cost of renting out a place."

But if the athletes decided to have their banquet at a place such as the St. Davids Inn, the cost would not be that high. If there were over 30 people attending the banquet, the room at the Inn would be free and the

students would only have to pay for the dinner itself, which would only be $14.95 or $22.50 per person.

This year the club has added a new member to their organization, the cheerleaders, headed by Jennifer Testa, sophomore, and Bridget Howard, junior.

Again, the members are happy that the Captain's Club does exist because, it provides the students who are part of the organization to participate in a leadership role, where they can act on their thoughts and ideas, which will benefit their whole team, as well as themselves._ Rocco Sansone, captain of the mens basketball team said, "I can take care of the things which have to be done."

Peace, drugsmark Olympics'end

the California Angels. He was the first draft pick.

Another memorable event was when Greg Louganis, U.S. diver, overcame adversity after receiving five stiches in his head and came back to win the gold in the springboard competition.

After sixteen days of outstanding competition, 162 countries came together to close the 1988 summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea on Sunday ,Oct.3. The closing ceremonies had a marvelous display of fireworks and fanfare accompanying admiration and respect for the host nation, South Korea.

Everybody had doubts about having the Olympics in South Korea due to politics, violence and the economy. The le~ders of South Korea and the Olympic Organ2ing Commitee overcame those obstacles and passed the critics test to organize and complete the competition without major problems.

Rumania gymnast Daniela Silivas won six medals in competition-three gold,two silver and o_nebronze. The dominant male in gyttmastics was Vladimir Artemov from the Soviet Union winning four gold medals and one silver.

Sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner won three gold and one silver while breaking two world records in the 200 meter dash in the same day.

The women's basketball team won the gold against Yugoslavia while the men's volleyball team recaptured the gold medal by defeating the Soviet Union and defending their world title.

The slogan of the Olympic spirit that was hung on banners across Seoul was "peace-harmony-progress." The slogan was worth its weight in gold aftertbe competition was over. The slogan was put into reality by these past two weeks.

Politics were set aside for the most part. Student demonstrators in Seoul were kept relatively quiet. There was no talks about nuclear weapons or wars. The world watched a country that has been in turmoil build itself up as a dominant world country.

Harmony and peace were seen among the athletes themselves in their competition, sportsmanship, friendship and respect for each other. The world probably can learn a lesson from the Olympics about cooperation and harmony among nations.

There were memorable performances that the world will not forget. In two weeks, 27 world records and 67 Olympic records were broken.

Heroes and heroines were made and crowned victors.

Matt Biondi, swimmer for the U.S., won seven medals including five gold while Kristin Otto.swimmer, brought six old medals home to East Germanv.

There were times when the winners touched the human heart. For example, U.S. hepthalon winner,Jackie JoynerKersee singing the national athlem on the victory platform with tears pouring down her face as the crowd cheered.

How about, Jim Abbott, the leading pitcher for the U.S. baseball team , who was born with only one hand.

He pitched the championship game against Japan capturing a win (5-3) and a gold medal. After a bad inning in the sixth giving up two hits, two walks, two runs and stranding the tying run on third, Abbott shutout the Japanese the rest of the way.

The team's baseball coach used Abbott not because it would put on a good show for television but because he was the best pitcher the team had.

Abbott is inspirational and unforgettable-a true meaning of the word Olympian. He will be playing in the future for

Among these glorious memories there were bitter controversies. For example, there was the attack of referee Keith Walker by Korean officials after a Korean boxer lost a decision. The next day the five Korean officials were expelled from the games and the Korean Olympic Head Organizer resigned.

Worst of all, the fasest man in the world, Ben Johnson, tested positive for steroids. He disgraced his country, himself and put a scar on the Olympics. He was stripped of his gold medal and his world record of 9. 7 seconds in the I 00 meter dash was erased from the record books.

Johnson was not the only athlete stripped of his gold. Two Bulgarian weightlifters also tested poistive to drugs. Following this, the team left Seoul and withdrew itself from competition.

The number of athletes that tested positive for drugs was ten. The thought still lingers that a numerous amount of other athletes were not caught.

The most expressive event that showed the damage of the drug testing was when Canadian ~er Lennon Lewis on the victory stand held a flag, his flowers and a doping control pass that showed that he tested negative for drugs.

Roy Jones, boxer for the U.S., was declared a loser after he crushed his South Korean opponent in three rounds.

Experts agreed he was the winner. He left the ring in tears.

Did the good outweigh the bad? Most think so, especially when the athletes were shown with tears in their eyes, full of happiness for their accomplishments, yet at the same time full of sadness that the 24th Olympiad was over.
