Annualtuitionincreasehighestin 5 years by Bob Bonner On Friday, April 28th, Cabrini students received a notice from the public relations office--the details of the 1989-90 raise in tuition. This coming year's rise in tuition is the highest in the past 5 years. "My parents were going to pull me out and send me to Stockton State," junior Brian Tripoli said. "But next year I' 11be an R.A. so I won't have to pay for room and board. It costs as much to go to Stockton as it does for just room and board here at Cabrini." In dollars the rise looks like this: $715 raise in tuition for full time students, and a $250 raise in Room and Board for residents, for a total of $965. For evening school the per-credit fee will increase is $5. "I've been here ten years," said Financial Aid Director Arlene Dittbrenner, "and since I've been here the school has been

committed to keeping tuition down.'' So why has tuition jumped almost one thousand dollars for the up coming school year? Well, according to Chief Financial Officer J.P. Loukes, the library needs new books, and more money to be allotted to scholarships. And since 85 per-cent of Cabrini's operating budget draws its funds from tuition the cost must be passed on to the students. "It's a trade off--how many services can be offered v .s. how much money students are willing to pay,'' Dittbrenner said. "When you look at Villanova, St. Joe's, LaSalle, and other schools Cabrini is below average in cost," Nancy Gardener, director of admissions said. "And when students look at two competing, schools and one is considerably less than another they often use the mind-set 'you get what you pay for'.'' "In past years they've kept the lid on tuition," Dittbrenner said. However, some

students feel differently about the jump in receive, comes from students who pay the tuition. tuition in full. '' As tuition goes up, this school gives me ''The increase (in revenue) will go to fund less aid," Junior Mike Feeley said.

Lack of planningupsetsgraquates Frustration,exhilaration: A year Plans for graduation have been in effect throughout the whole year. Except for one small thing. The speaker for graduation. Isn't the speaker supposed 'to be the highlight, the inspiration for the graduating seniors? Why then, was the speaker chosen in early April and not in the very ~ginning of the year? Senior class officers. claim that there was a lack of communication between themselves and the administration. The students deserve to choose their speaker, but the administration should take full responsibility in overseeing the process. There should be specifically one administrative person in charge to work with the senior class. Thanks to Dr. Sharon Schwarze, there is a graduation speaker already scheduled for next year .. If it hadn't been for her, the same situation would have occurred next year. But is this fair? Does the class of 1990 have a say in who their speaker is? Dr. Patricia Reid-Bookhart, chosen by Lisa Kantor,· senior class vice president, to speak at graduation, is an alumnus of Cabrini, class of 1973. Kantor felt that having an alumnus would add a special touch to graduation because she could relate to the graduates and speak of her experience at Cabrini as well as give the graduates encouragement. Yet, there is speculation from people that Dr. Reid-Bookhart was chosen simply because she is black, and because of the recent racial outbursts on campus, her presence would alleviate some of the tension. These speculations are invalid, there is no proof of this. How can the color of the graduation speaker's skin mend any racial difficulties _that Cabrini has experienced this past semester? Think about it. Let's hope that choosing a graduation speaker well in advance becomes the norm. If the speaker is chosen well ahead of time, by seniors and the administration, it will be one less thing to worry about, and there will be a feeling of satisfaction for all those involved.

er Professorleavesgrads with powerfulmessage Dear Seniors,

It has suddenly occurred to me that I will miss both the Baccalaureate Mass and Graduatjon this year. I have taught at Cabrini for sixteen years, and have missed only one ·or these affairs previously, due to illness. This time, I will miss them by choice, but hard ones. On Saturday, May 20th, I must attend the wedding of a nephew of a very close, personal friend. He calls me "Aunt Margie.'' The next day my high school is celebrating its 50th anniversary. During the last decade, it has fallen on hard times. I believe in this school. I got a wonderful education at Little Flower C'atholic High School for Girls. I belonged to the music department. For 25cents, a week I had a private music lesson, given by a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra! (Can you believe it, this is the first,time I noticed that my computerdoes not have a "cent" markon it, which all of the old typewriters had. A sign of the times, unhappily!) I still remember my saxaphone teacher, Selma Guerra. She was young, beautiful, talented and dressed in the latest style. One day she told me that she liked something that I was wearing. It was one of the high points ofmy youth. On to more serious things. Schools like

Little Flower, Roman Catholic (my father's alma mater), St. Maria Goretti, etc. need to survive. Let us get our pridrities in order. As the future of the Catholic Church, I beg you to support inner-city parochial schools. They are so needed, far more than their sister-schools in the suburbs. This is my final message to all of the dear seniors whom I have taught, and of whom I ask forgiveness for my absence from their big day. As we said in the old church," Ad multos annos!" ([May you live] for many years.) Sincerely, Dr. Marge Reher Chair, Department of Religion

in the life of the editor-in-chief

denise civa Well-my job as Editor-in-Chief ofLoquitur is finally over. Sometimes I thought this day would never come, bu~ now that it has I'm-liaving a hard time dealing with it. I have got to becrazy. Thestresslthinkfinallygot to me. Why aren't I out celebrating my freedom and liberation from a job that has given me gray hairs at the ripe old age of 21? Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I don't sleep or eat because of this job. I've also been known on several occasions to threaten to blo~ up the newsroom, throw the computers out the window and shoot the staff. Does this sound like a rational human being to you? No, I didn't think so either. I guess the reason why I'm having a hard time leaving my post is because of the people I work with, specifically my editors. They helped me get through the bad times (lik~ when the computer malfunctions, stories don't come in and people complain to me) and enjoy the good times (many too many to mention, but do some of you remember Washington, D.C.?). So thanks to: Kerry: Whenever I needed to ta!~ or just let out the stress, she was there. She helped provide the laughter in the newsroom with her jokes of the day and her contagious off-the-wall personality. (Yes, yourname is in the paper again this week don't freak!) Roe: Thanks to Roe I was able to make a speech at the University of Delaware about being an editor of a college newspaper. She gave me the confidence to do it, not to mention ALL the infonnation I needed to prepare myself. Right Roe? Paula: She was my Wednesday deadline buddy. She was usually the last one in here with me finishing up her pages and helping me get ready for the printers. At times when I went crazy, she helped me pick up the pieces. Lee: I don't know how she did it, but Lee was usually the first one done with her pages each week. She hardly ever had problems with her section (which made my life easier). Lee was also our graphics queen. No one -was ever able to rival her talent in utilizing our computer art. Her pages were always great! Tonya: She was R.A., had an internship, was involved in many clubs and activities, had a social life (something not all of us were able to have--it wasn't unusual at times for us to answer the newsroom phone "Tonya's answering service") and still found time to be an editor. Wow! If there was a big news story to cover and no one else would do it, Tonya was there. She c;onstantly amazed me with her talent. Lisa: She had a hard time this semester because she was sick, but this dido 't stop her. She always gave her all at whatever she did. Sometimes it was scary how alike Lisa and I are. We talked about this before. Lisa is more on the quiet side, but she gets her

points across and gets her job done. Thanks for all your help and support (not to mention the time you and Steph took me to the printers --wasn't that an adventure?). There are so many more people I really need to thank like Angie, my lunatic business manager, the photography staff (especially Mike and Karen), Journalism I students, Jenni, Loquitur's writing coach, Mary, for her massages, Marian, assistant news editor, for all her help, support, latenight chats, willingness to help, etc., etc. And how can I end this viewpoint without thanking Dr. Zurek (especially since he got so upset when he wasn't mentioned in Roe's last viewpoint)? His assistance, cooperation and support helped me so much. The slight nagging and meddling didn't hurt either I guess. His children's (Christopher and Daniel) visits to the newsroom also helped boost my spirits on some very hard day.s. There is so many more people I should thank, but I don't want to forget anyone (which undoubtedly I will anyway) plus I don't want this to seem too much like a farewell speech, but instead a "hope you have as much fun as we d_id" speech for the new editors who are: Barbara Wilson - Editor-in-Chief Angie Corbo - Managing Editor Johanna Church - News Editor Felicia Falcone - Perspectives Editor Kelly McGillan - Features Editor Lou Monaco - Sports Editor Good luck to all of you! Paula, Roe, Lee, Lisa - should we begin again next year with yearbook?

pairs of sweats with me, and that helped me to feel a little more with it in terms of dressing. I quickly learned to adapt to my new surroundings and the people surrounding me. There were other things that took me time to adapt to. I was convinced the whole first semester that Dr. Romano was Dr. Zurek. (Long story, but I thought this because Dr. Romano had given me my tours of the communications center every time I came to visit Cabrini in high school, and I just assumed that he was the head of the communications department.) By the way, I know the difference now. Romano has a beard. Another area I had to learn to adapt to was classes. You have to admit that the college class schedule is much different than high school. To be quite honest, I really thought that one of the main differences between college and high school was that in college you didn't have to go to classes. It's not like I cut all of my classes, but I did make a habit of cutting gym. It was an 8:30 Monday/Wednesday class. Not to make excuses, but it was hell getting up for an 8:30 on 'Mondays, and, well, it was my only Wednesday class, and it lasted for less than an hour.

Another area I had to adapt to was my living arrangement. I have a different situation than many here at Cabrini. I live off-campus with a family, and I babysit in exchange for room and board. I admit now I was a little apprehensive at first. I felt like' 'College Student Lost in Space.'' I wasn't a resident, yet I was living away from my family. I was a commuter, but I didn't feel like one. I didn't feel like I belonged anywhere. I didn't know the family I lived with when I first moved in. They were so different from my family. I was from a large family. Living with a mom, dad and only child was a new experience for me. I didn't have to yell for the bathroom, I didn't have someone in the house all of the time. Most of all, they weren't my family. They didn't get upset ifI came in at four in the morning on a school night. They didn't know about my skipping aerobics. Gradually they became like a family. I came to know them. Allan (the father) would give me directions to get somewhere:

''Do you know where the Acme in Wayne is?" he would ask me. "Yes," I'd answer. "It's nowhere near there," he'd reply with a smile. Roseanne (the mother) became almost like an older sister in a way. She gave me much-needed advice on boyfriends and classes and just plain anything. David (the boy I babysit) has been incredible. I really miss my younger brother, and though David did not replace him, I was at least able to feel like a big sister. He has matured so much in the past four years, and it's just been so great to observe the changes--just like it is to see my own. I, myself, · have matured and changed dramatically in the past four years. I am not the scared freshman who started here Sept. 4, 1985. I have experienced so much more than I could put in this column. These experiences have changed my life and have changed me. I found my niche at Cabrini. I did belong here, and more importantly, I know for certain I wouldn't have wanted to spend these four years anywhere else.

New Jersey beaches:waves or waste? by Kelly Ann McGillan

Mention the word summer and it conjures up visions of the beach and the ocean. However, last summer when people thought of the Jersey beaches, many thought of the pollution which washed up on shore forcing beaches to close and the tremendous loss of business it caused. Media attention focused on the medical waste that washed ashore. Hospital items like syringes, dressings, and intravenous fluid packs were found on beaches. (Laws in both New York and New Jersey require hospital refuse to be incinerated.) Hospital waste was a problem, but the reason for most closings were high levels of bacteria in the water. In Avon-by-the-Sea, where an Asbury Park sewage treatmentplant pipe broke and leaked materials into the water system, officals would test the water up to four times a day. In Sea Isle, helicopters flew over to gather water for periodic water sampling. To clean up the shores and prevent bacterial problems for the upcoming season, safeguards have been added to sewage treatment plants and state officals have conducted several studies of tidal and wind currents to determine how floatables travel from the harbors and waterways of New York to the shores of New Jersey. Floatables are characterized as hospital wastes, plastics, glass, metals, and woods. Most of the suggested programs have already been started to clean up the beaches. One program, the coastal surveillance program was devised to coordinate the efforts of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the counties and the coastal communities to check the beaches for pollution six days a week from May until Sept. Initiated in the spring of 1988, the program will continue through this years season. ''These initiatives will contribute significantly toward a safe and interrupted bathing season,'' said David Rosenblatt, DEP Bureau of Monitoring Management. To get people back to the beach the state of New Jersey recently launched a $2.7 million advertising campaign, according to KYW-TV. "Last year a lot of people went to the Poconos instead of the beach," said Dawn Bangle, sophomore and waitress at an Ocean City hotel, "I think they'll consider the Poconos again this year.'' Bangle also said that business where she worked was affected by the pollution. "It was slow because many people were afraid to come down,'' said Bangle. How will last year's closings affect opinions this summer? "Last year I went to the beach just as much, I just didn't go in," said Donna Feeny, freshman who lives in Avalon in the

summer. Amy Friedman, freshman, said, "I never went in last year, thisyearjustincaseI won't be going in." Bangle is hesitant about going in the water this year. "It depends on how much change there is. When I get down there, I'll decide,'' said Bangle.

Joe Schmidt, freshman and lifeguard at Sea Isle, is expecting a lot of questions from beachgoers like last year, "People were really concerned last year and they asked a lot of questions even though our beach was open all summer." Sally Amatelli, sophomore who was a

badgechecker at Avon-by-the-Sea, said, "I don't think I will forget, I really hope that there will not be a problem this year." Kelly Boyer, sophmore said, "I know a few people care, but, for many, it's in one ear and out the other. Once it's over, people don't remember it."

Graduation:Alumnato be guestspeaker by Marian Armstrong

"Oh my God," she said. And then again, "Oh my God." According to Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs, such was the initialresponse of Dr. Patricia ReidBookhart when she was asked to be this year's graduation speaker. After taking some time to think it over, Reid-Bookhart accepted Dale's offer. A member of the class of 1973, Reid-Bookhart was one of 12 inner-city black students to attend Cabrini in the early 70s on an academic scholarship. Only two

of the twelve students completed all four years of college. ReidBookhart was one of them. In 1975, Reid-Bookhart received a master's of social work from Temple University and, in 1984, she received her doctorate in social work from the University of Pennsylvania. She is the recipient of Cabrini's distinguished achievement award of 1986 and is currently an associate professor of social work at Stockton State College. A lover of African-American arts, she is the founder of the Afro One Dance Drama and Drum Theater.

"She's' really a multi-dimensional person. She's a very good role model for our students,'' Dale said. "I can't think of anything better thap having an alumna." Reid-Bookhart is the first member of the alumni to be a graduation speaker at Cabrini. Dale suggested Reid-Bookhart at the request of Lisa Kantor, senior class officer. According to Kantor, it is the responsibility of the class officers to make suggestions. These suggestionsare handed over to Sr. Eileen Currie, president, who then makes the final decision. Kantor said that having a speaker

who had a connection with Cabrini was important to her. "For me, I wanted somebody who could ~k to the class who knew what our experience would be in the future. I wanted it to be somebody who could put a special touch on graduation," she said. Kantor said that the graduation speaker.elected in early April, was chosen late due to the fault of the class officers and lack of communication. She said, '·There was a lack of communication between us and the administration. We weren't really sure what our part was in it."

Dale said, ''It seems to be anybody's job. It's not focused. It happens every year." "It's really nobody's job," Diane Kolodzinski, director of public relations, said. "I think it's partly the administration's responsibility and partly the students,"' she said. "Lately, we've just been too late and everybody's calendar is filled when we get to them." Bob Bonfiglio, dean of students, said, ''My sense was this process was going on all year."

Ethnicheritage:how it affectsyou Part four in a series: Polish-~merican_ heritage by Linda Smisko "I see myself as a Polish American and I am proud of my Polish heritage. It is where I have my roots and my ancestry," said Joel Zazyczny, senior. These words ring true for many of the students on campus who come from Polish familie~ and share in the Polish heritage. The Polish culture nurtures strong family ties and a sense of comradeship among fellow Polish people whether they Iive in the same United States community or further away in Poland itself. Zazyczny said, "My respect for my heritage comes from my father who is very active in the Polish community across the United States. "I am a member of the Polish Heritage Society in Philadelphia. This organization tries to bring the Polishcommunitytogether in the Philadelphia area. There are a lot of older generation Poles that are very proud to show their heritage.'' While most people can only relate to the Polish culture through a typical stereotyped dumb Polack joke, those who are Polish

know the true value of their culture. Dr. Jerome Zurek, professor of English and communications, said, '' A residual pride seems to develop from hearing so many bad Polish jokes.·' • 'The Polish people have a lot to be proud of. Many great researchers and scientists, such as Copernicus have come from Poland and contributed great things to America," said Zazyczny. Zazyczny summed up the Polish culture and said, "There is !1Ilauthenticity behind being Polish." Polish people are very traditional people. Many students live in families with first generation grandparents who continue to uphold the practices that they had in their native country. Another traditional trademark of the Polish culture is the wide variety of ethnic foods which they are known for. Many students on campus such as Chris Pesotski, freshman, still celebrate their Christmas and Easter holidays in light of the traditional Polish culture. Pesotski said, • 'The Polish people have some of the best food in the world. I was

Last.in a series: Mixed heritage by Karen Shank What about the mutts? There are many of us who do not boast of belonging to any one nationality, because we don't. Yes, sad as it may seem, there arethoseof us who have pasta and kielbasa for Christmas dinner, and perhaps top it off with Black Forest cake. To people who have been born full-blooded Italians, Germans, Polish, or Irish, it may seem hard to imagine not having only one set of traditions to folJow. The ·question is, does it really make any difference to a multinationality individual? "I've never felt deprived," Andree Jost, senior, said. "Actu-

Though Jost is mainly French and German, she is more aware of her German ancestry, because her grandmother is German, and does not speak English. When meals are eaten at her grandparents' home, certain German traditions are observed. It may appear that having a variety ofnationalities could cause a problem in cultural identity, but it did not appear to create any problem at all for junior Claire DaSilva.

ity,' • John Osborn, freshman, said. "Being German and English are not big things in my life." Dana Lepis, sophomore, did feel as though she could be getting more out of her heritage. "I think I am missing out a little because I have a diversified ethnic background. I'm Italian and German. I guess I don't get as much out of my cultural heritage as I could if I were more focused in on only one nationality," Lepis said. Sophomore Lisa Martelli is Italian and Irish. She agreed with Lepis. "My family isn't big on any one nationality. I see families that are though, like big Italian families with special traditions, or Irish families, and I do feel like I am missing out on that.•' Junior Lisa Brzezicki felt the

reactions of other people towards her nationalities made her realize that Italian and Polish is not the most common mixture. "Well, 99 percent of people realize I am Polish because of my name, but when they find out I am Italian too, they look at me kind of strange because of the combination, then they usually say 'What a combination!•" For her, cultural identity has never really been a problem. "Because my name is Polish, I identify with being Polish, but because my grandmother is Italian, and I was around her a lot, I was subjected more to the Italian heritage. I guess I identify more with the Italian heritage because of it,•' Brzezicki said. Sophomore Bridget Collins is a

mixture of Irish, English, Scottish, German and Polish. Because she was brought up in an Irish-Catholic environment, she identifies most with this culture, but feels people often put too much stress on nationality. "Sometimes people forget we are all living in the same country. Some people make prejudgements on others because of what they are,·' Collins said. Even though Kelly McGillan is purely Irish, she is able to see the advantages one might have in being a number of nationalities. "When a person is many nationalities, they get to experience a number of heritages. They can benefit from this by having the opportunity to become more openminded about all cultures."

Evolution . I've come a long way on paper.

There is still a slight Disney edge on all my dreams, But lam not led anymore by restlessness or ultimatum. l have unlearned my fantasies So that l may fill myself with something real.

Eating,sleepingand final exams by Marian Armstrong "Just the whole thought of the test makes me nervous. When I get the test in front of me I always panic. I have to calm myself down,'' Lisa Majka, sophomore, said. According to David B. Ellis' "Becoming a Master Student," a little tension before a test is good. That tingly, butterfly feeling in the stomach is caused by adrenalin and it is a healthy reaction that can sharpen one's awareness. However, too much anxiety can be damaging. Specific symptoms of anxiety can include insomnia, loss or increase in appetite, a hard time concentrating and boredom. Ellis suggests that students overcome their test anxieties by dealing with their thoughts. When the mind is racing with worries, one should yell, either to themselves or out loud, "Stop." This action may "momentarily break the cycle of worry.'' From there on in students can use other techniques such as daydreaming, praising one's self, and considering the very worst that could possibly

Dr. Mark Pressman, Medical College of Pennsylvania, said "I think most people need at least eight hours of sleep. There's no magic way of dealing with it,'' Pressman said that people can get by on six hours of sleep, but "the question is how well can you function." People are more alert and are able to retain more information on a full night's sleep. However, for those who can't get a full night's sleep, Pressm_an said that usually two hours sleep will be of some benefit. It generally takes a two hour nap to get into a deep sleep. For those who have trouble sleeping, Pressman suggests, not getting into bed until one is relaxed or sleepy. "It's obvioµsly difficult. You can't make yourself sleep," he said. Rather than get frustrated, Pressman

by Chris Pesotski One of the most talked about changes set to greet future Cabrini College students is the institution of a new core curriculum beginning next semester. "There's lots of excitement about it. The faculty is really looking forward to this new curriculum," says Dr. SharonSchwarze, Chair of the Philosophy Department. "One of the key factors to the success of this new step is faculty development. We hope to better equip our teachers to teach from primary sources, such as the Bible, Sophocles' plays, and the works of Greek philosophers," says Schwarze, who coordinated a pr9ject to secure funding for a comprehensive faculty development program. The project resulted in a twoyear $80,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. '• Right now we' re working on a proposal to fund a third year of the grant," said Schwarze. The college matched NEH's grant with an $80,000 allocation of its own. Accoring to Dr. Mary Ann Biller, Vice President for Academic Affairs, approximately $10,000 of the grant will go to library development.

"The faculty has proposed a list of books and other works which it thinks college students should be reading. These books on the humanities will be called the Cabrini Classics. The $ l 0,000 will be used to purchase these books and related works about them." The remaining $70,000 will be utilized to bring faculty consultants to Cabrini. They will be contracted to work with the faculty on these texts and to help in the development of the new freshman seminar program. • 'The focus for the consultants during this summer will be for the faculty involved in teaching the freshman seminar, now called the Seminar 100," says Biller. "The theme of this seminar will be 'Self-Understanding' and the course will be inter-disciplinary in nature.'' "There will be five consultants here at Cabrini this summer to discuss Shakespeare, Plato, the Bible, "What it Means to be a Catholic College Today", and Sophocles, adds Schwarze. "This is a real coup for Cabrini. These speakers come from the University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore, Trinity College and Boston College, and are world-reknowned in their fields. "What's really impressive is the level of faculty interest. Over

forty faculty members have signed up to participate in the enrichment sessions. What this really amounts to is them going back to school. Too often we, as educators work from textbooks without referring to the works those texts were drawn from. These seminars will reacquaint us with books that are importantto read. This is a strong list of books. All of Stanford University's required reading is on our list, and much more." "Freshmen next year can expect to take English Composition,'' says Biller, "Then they'll go into the Seminar 100 program, which will be writing intensive and have a limited number of students in each class. The plans for the course will be drawn from the insights of our consultants.'' "Students will then continue their coursework in their sophomore year. In junior year, they will enter the Seminar 300 program, which has the theme 'The Common Good'. This program will be more global in nature and combine disciplines such as communications and business." The new core curriculum has a deeper meaning than simply changing academic requirements. "We want to broaden what a Cabrini graduate is. We want them to have a mature, informed outlook in addition to possessing the skills

necessary to make it in the job market,'' says Schwarze. Through exposure to readings, emphasizing morality, diversity, and role models, we hope to foster that outlook.''

Philadelphia's most respectable agancy is looking for new faces for T. V., commericals, films, and catalogue work.

Kolodzinski said that U.S. congressman Bill Gray was also considered. However, Gray had already had a previous commitment. "To get the perfect person is hard. You're not going to please everybody. Every college wants Mrs. Bush. There are only so many famous people,'' Kolodzinsk.i said. Due to racial unrest on and off campus, Dale said the fact that Reid-Bookhart happens to be black is • 'very timely.'' Dale said it was important that young black students see someone of her caliber.

Kolodzinski said, "Certainly the fact tha Pat is a minority is not the reason (she wa chosen). It's kind of neat that it turned ou that way."

Students lend a helping hand in Project Outreach by Lisa A. Brzezicki "Life is short and in a short time we will be on the threshold ofetemity. At that point, how will we wish to have spent the years of our life?" -St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Seniors Marian Armstrong and Andrea Thompson, along with junior Dolores Rogers have al_readychosen a path in their lives. All three are this year's participants in Cabrini's Project Outreach Program. Since 1976 when Cabrini sent its first graduate to Swaziland, the project has grown. According to Sr. Bernadette Anello, campus ministry, coordinator for Project Outreach, approximately 35 students have participated in the project. Also, there have been students who have graduated and who have come back to participate in the program. The purpose of the project, according to Sr. Eileen Currie, president, is to provide opportunities for students at Cabrini to have experiences as lay missionaries, whether it's in a foreign country or in the United States.

According to Armstrong, she came to the decision to take part in Project Outreach after taking a look at her future after graduation. "At this time in my life, a job in the English/communications field didn't appeal to me," Armstrong said. Armstrong will begin her missionary work

"I am slightly nervous that I won't be able to handle seeing infants addicted to cocaine. However, my biggest fear is that I won't be able to establish the kind of relationships that I want with the kids. It is very important to me that they know that I care." -Marian Armstrong, senior June 5 in the inner city of Chicago. She will be working with children from the ages of infancy to the-late teens. Some of them will be addicted to cocaine due to their mother's

use of the drug during pregnancy. Others will be the victims of abandonment or physical abuse. ''I've always wanted to work with emotionally disturbed kids and I felt that this was my last chance,'' Armstrong said. In preparation for the project, the candidates went through interviews with Anello, as well as with a counselor at the counseling center, and are presently taking part in a training program that will expand over a period of two weeks. According to Dr. Lili Goodman, counselor, counseling center, she feels that by meeting with a candidate she can help him/ her deal with any uncertainties that he/she may have about participating in Project Outreach. "I help the candidate clarify his/her intentions," Goodman said. Armstrong said, "After speaking with Lili, I left her office with the fantastic feeling that I could really do it. She made me feel more confident about myself.'' According to Rogers, she felt more selfconfident after meeting with Dr. Katherine Sutton-Smith Preston, director, counseling center.

the feeling that it was going to be a very positive experience for me,'' Rogers said. Rogers, like Armstrong, will be fulfilling her mission in the United States. She will be working with the elderly in Manhattan, as part of the Cabrini Cares for the Forgotten Elderly Program. "The women I will be working with are mostly widows over the age of70. I will visit them and tend to their needs, whether it be cleaning the house, cooking, doing their shopping or taking them to the doctor," Rogers said. Rogers will leave for Manhattan sometime in August and return December 31. While she is serving as a missionary, she will also be receiving credits which she arranged with her advisor. This is just another opportunity that the Project Outreach offers to students. In contrast to Armstrong and Rogers, Thompson has chosen to fulfill her mission in a foreign country. Thompson said, "I want to experience

"I have a fear that someone I am serving will die. However, I believe that it can be a positive thing for me, as well. Because I am closer in age to the women I will be working with, I think I will be able to learn from them how to grow old gracefully and face my own growth." -Dolores Rogers, junior and learn about a new culture. I have always been interested in the Peace Corps and I think this opportunity will be a test run for me.''

Thompson will spend five months in Swaziland serving mainly as an aid at the local school and health center. "Aside from serving the best way I can, my main goal is to learn the language. Really that's my only fear; not being able to communicate with the people," she said. Armstrong added,' 'I am slightly nervous that I won't be able to handle seeing infants addicted to cocaine. However, my biggest fear is that I won't be able to establish the kind of relationships that I want with the kids. It is very important to me that they know that I care." Rogers said, ''I have a fear that someone I am serving will die. However, I believe that it can be a positive thing for me, as well. Because I am closer in age to the women I will be working with, I think I will be able to learn from them how to grow old gracefully and face my own death." Materialistically, according to Anello, there isn't very much required for the program. The students are provided with room and board and half of the air fare to their destination. Although no previous experience is required of thecandidates, Currie feels that motivation and desire are two qualities that they should possess. "I think it is very important that a candidate have .the motivation and a sense of purpose when deciding to take part in the program. They need the true.desire to be a help to the goodness of God,'' Currie said. Armstrong added, "Project Outreach is an excellent way to fill the desire that was already there.''

Senior athletes conclude college careers Pat Zipfel by Stephanie Hornyak "I owe John Dzik my life. I would like to thank him for helping me, and putting up with me. He is the one person who made college more meaningful for me. Pat Zipfel, senior, talks fondly about his sports career at Cabrini College, and especially about the man who made it all possible for him. Active in many sports, Pat played golf, basketball for three years, and ran crosscountry for a season. "Cabrini gave me the opportunity to participate in many different sports. I wouldn't have had that oppurtunity at many other schools, especially big schools.'' His most memorable golf match was when Dzik came up to him at the 18th hole, and told him they had to get up and down in two to win. What happened? "We lost by one," he said laughing. His most memorable basketball game was the final varsity game against Spring Garden. "Because I was one of the starters." Pat takes his athletic interests outside of the gym as well. He had an internship last year with the Philadelphia Big Five and another internship with Sports Camps Inc. He is an English-Communications major, and after he graduates he wouldlike to get a job as a graduate assistant college basketball coach. To help with his job search, he will spend the summer going from "basketball camp to basketball camp, all over the East coast from Providence to Virginia.•' He adds that his advice to underclassmen athletes is, "Win some. Lose some. And get some rained out."

Dave Butera by Johanna Church "I've played basketball practically my whole life and I began to grow a little tired

of it," Dave Butera said. He was referring to his switch in his junior year from the basketball team to the tennis team. He felt that he needed a change from the ear-piercing sneaker squeaks to the refreshness of the outdoors. In his years of athletics, playing Eastern College was always exciting as well as anticipated. "We've always gotten very pumped up before we had to play them," Butera said. "They've always seemed to be o?r biggest rival." A political science major, Butera plans to go on to graduate school, to eventually receive a masters in business administration. Extra curricular activities were not always top priority for Butera. "I have always worked between 20 and 30 hours a week, so it was often a little difficult to be in many other activities,'' he said. Butera really enjoyed being an athlete because of the relationships he developed. "I won't miss the idea of a coach barking down my throat, though."

Scott Lecompte by Johanna Church What isn't Scott LeCompte going to miss about Cabrini? "I won't miss shooting 100 in golf!" LeCompte entered Cabrini a sophomore, after transferring from the University of Alabama. That year, he played junior varsity basketball and in his junior year, after growing tired of the sport he played since approximately the age of six, LeCompte moved on to play golf. Why the switch? "Golf is challanging," he said. "It brings you out every day, and even if you don't do good, you want to go back out again."

The Class of '89 will retnain in our hearts.

Also, his senior year, Lecompte played soccer, as well as golf. After graduation, LeCompte plans to work for his father who owns his own contracting company. LeCompte, who is from Lancaster, Pa, is a business administration major. The best part of any season for Lecompte is beating one of the Cavs biggest rivals. "Beating Eastern at soccer is always great, plus we know there will be a party afterwards," he said. What was the best part about sports for Lecompte? "It was the main source for my friends," he said. ''We always had a lot of fun at practices and games. Although competition was sometimes good and intense, we would make it fun." As far as continuing golf on to postgraduation days, Lecompte plans to just play for fun.

Terrie Pancio by Felicia Falcone "I don't know who will be happier at graduation: my parents or me," said Terrie Pancio, senior. Pancio is just one of the outstanding senior athletes that will graduate from Cabrini in May. She has been involved not only in athletics, but other clubs as well. Pancio has been playing on the women's tennis team for three years. She has also been on the women's softball team for three years. This year her softball season was cut short due to an injury. Pancio is also involved in Project Outreach for the Homeless, the big brother/ big sister program, Thanks 4 Giving, and as an accounting major, a member of the accounting club. As a member of two athletic teams, Pancio feels that she and the team have hadgood and bad moments. Her most memorable games were both in tennis. "Last year we won district nineteen and that brought us to

the nationals in Kansas City," said Pancio. This year Pancio and fellow senior, Carol Risse, played in the doubles finals at the Eastern States Athletic Conference (ESAC) tournament. Pancio feels thattaking part in the athleti~ program at Cabrini has done a lot for her. Shehasmixed feelings aboutgraduating. "I will definitely miss the friendships and the good times, but I am looking forward to the future," said Pancio.

John Dunleavy by Stephanie Hornyak John Dunleavy is a familiar face to many residents, commuters, and athletic contemporaries. He played on the junior varsity basketball team for the frrst time this year. John said that he learned a lot more about Cabrini athletics because of playing on the basketball team. "I learned about commitment and what Coach Dzik refered to as Cabrini pride,'' he said. "You can really only get a feel for the sports program if you participate in it. Cabrini's program makes you want to give total effort to the goals you• ve set." Although he didn't play a lot, his most memorable game was against Brandywine Junior College, at Brandywine. "I didn't score a lot, but I had a lot of assists,'' he said. In addition to playing basketball, John wrote for the Loquiturfortwo years and was the assistant sports editor in his second year of journalism. This year, he is the sports editor for the yearbook. When he graduates, John will miss "just being here." "I'll also miss the people, the campus, the memories, and playing basketball with my brother Jim, a sophomore,'' he said. An English-Communications major, John would like to go into sports marketing when he graduates. accomplish all that your potential allows.

If his basketball career doesn't pan out, Butler has been told that his deep voice and love of the game will make him a natural as a basketball radio or TV announcer. "I would like to commentate for local high school basketball,'' Butler commented. "I wish all the seniors good luck. And to the athletes- take advantage and enjoy your playing days,'' Butler stated softly as a cool breeze.

Rocco Sansone is an easygoing man who "lays back with the flow" and always sings a happy tune. The 6'4" South Philadelphian came to Cabrini as the power center of St. John Neumann High School. In the shadows of the Italian Market, Rocco refined his basketball skills. Cabrini is where Rocco utilized those skills to become "Mr. Cat,rini Basketball," according to teammate Brian Butler. Sansone stated that Cabrini athletics taught him responsibility and a positive way to channel his emotions. ''Cabrini by Carlo Iacono athletics kind of stands out.

by Carlo Iacono

Brian "Breeze" Butler drives to the basket in the image of his idols, Julius Erving and Magic Johnson. His 20-foot rainbows drop from the sky into the basket like Erving. His IO-foot behind-the-back passes land on a dime like Magic. Yet he is not outspoken about his accomplishments. He sits back and observes like a cool breeze. Butler was the first Cabrini player ever to achieve a triple-double (double figures in points, assists, and rebounds in one game), and NCBT All-American. A product of Concord High School in Wilmington, Delaware, Butler started his college career at Northeast Christian Junior College, redshirted at Cabrini his sophomore year, and became a varsity member during his junior campaign. Through the years, Butler said he will miss the players that let him fit in, road trips, and the special sense of family that comes with Cabrini basketball. Butler, an All-Philadelphia Area player, remembers a game in his junior year at Millersville. "We went into Millersville, who was ranked number one at Division II, and lost by just one point. That is the closest we ever came to getting ranked," Butler said. Basketball is not over for Butler. He is now working on a deal to play in Germany or for the Washington Generals, but states that both prospects are "long shots" right now. His first accomplishment will be to graduate, which he feels he will accomplish no later than this summer. With a bachelor's degree in English and Communications, Butler will feel proud to graduate because he'll

by Felicia Falcone I am looking forward to graduation. There are no more GER's to worry about, or school pressures. Now I can worry about what I wantto do," said Gina Strobel, senior. Strobel has participated in the athletic program since freshman year. She has played tennis for four years, and has been the captain for three. She also has been on the softball team for two years. Being involved in sports at Cabrini has done a lot for Strobel. "In both sports I learned how to deal with people. I gained friendships and learned good sportsmanship. Being the captain of the tennis team taught me to be responsible." Strobel has many fond memories of playing on both the tennis and softball teams. In her junior year the team traveled to Kansas City to play in the NCAA tournament. "We got a chance to go away and compete with high rank players.'' Strobel's season in softball this year wouldn't have been complete without beating Eastern College. The team beat Eastern in the second game of a doubleheader. "We played really well as a team. It was the best game we ever played," said Strobel. Strobel is majoring in Psychology and plans to go to graduate school at Villanova. She is considering teaching as a career. She wants to graduate, but will miss college life. "I will miss the challenge of playing tennis as a team member playing for a championship. I will miss my friends that are on the team, but I know that I will keep close contact with my close friends."

Chris Federico by Felicia Falcone "Playing sports was a good experience for me. I got to play and do a variety of other things, but I'm ready to move on. I'm ready for change,'' said Chrissy Federico, senior. Since freshman year, Federico has been actively involved in Cabrini's athletic program and a number of other school-related activities. She played field hockey for four years and was captain this year. She was also on the basketball team and was co-captain in junior and senior year. This year she ran spring track and cross country. Her activities include being a Medical Assistant, Science Honor Society president, a member of the Biology Club and a member of the Captain's Club. Two memorable games for Federico were in basketball. In both her sophomore and senior year, the team beat archrival Allentown College. Involvement in sports has brought Federico many acquaintances and friendships. She has also learned about teamworlc and winning. "I learned how to have fun even ifwe didn't win. I learned to balance between taking losses and maintaining a winning attitude." Federico is a biology major. She hopes to get a job in the medical or environmental field doing medical research. She is considering going to graduate school. She is looking forward to the future, but will miss Cabrini. "Hopefully I will still see my friends. I know that I will have a different lifestyle than I do now," said Federico. She will also miss playing sports, especially basketball. ''It is going to be hard next year, not playing basketball. I have been playing for twelve years, and this will be a new experience for me."

Lou D'lppolito by Stephanie Hornyak Lewis D'Ippolito will be graduating in May, and leaves behind fond memories of his years at Cabrini. He played on the golf team for two years, although the first year the team competed in district matches only. He was also involved with the intramurals program for basketball. His most memorable game was the "scramble" tournament that was held atthe endoflastyear. Thiswasagolfmatch which includes alumni, and although there were no alumni last year, there will be alumni at this game. He is a business administration major with a human resource minor. When he graduates, he will be moving back to Vineland where he already has a job lined up. He will be working at The Children's Courtyard, which is a private school for children from pre-school through 8th grade. His duties will include bookkeeping, building up-keep, and research. He said, "I enjoyed Cabrini. I liked the area because there was a lot going on. You have the benefits of Philadelphia without actually being in the city." He pauses for a·moment, taking a drag of his cigarette and adds, "I' 11miss the people. And the old coffee shop, but not the new one that has formed.'' A huge smile comes to his face and I realize that I have missed something. He said that Cabrini's golf program is young, and he didn't do as well as he hoped to. "There wasn't enough practice time. You can't expect to play once a week and really do anything.'' -His advice to next years golfers?"Good luck. And practice."

Cavs experience uphill climb in 1989 by Susan Holefelder The 1989 tennis, golf and softball teams are into the final days of their season. For some, the season has ended and for others, there is still hope to end up with a good record. The teams went into the season with many goals and they are corning out with some of those goals accomplished and others not. According to Coach Reggie Day of the men's tennis team, the goals set for this season were accomplished. "The first was to do better than in the past," he said. Prior to this year, the team only had 3 wins. The seasonal score to-date is 7-6 with 2 matches to go. Another goal expressed by Day was to have a winning season. "Which we obviously will," he said. In the ESAC championships, Cabrini placed fifth out of six teams with a score of 6 pts. Day said, "The score isn't

always indicative to how the match was played. We should have won some of the matches we lost. It was very close. "We had some tough loses to some really good teams." Day expressed, "Cabrini is a new comer on the block and we have to fight for recognition. We are a team to be reckoned with in the future." Leo Eschbach, sophomore and co-captain, said, "We had a good season. We should finish with a winning season.'' "It was bad because of the transition from coaches. We have a much more demanding coach this year," Eschbach added. Gary Burnett, sophomore player said, "This season was a great success. It was a lot more structured and organized than last year.'' '' I feel it is the starting point of Cabrini's best tennis program," Burnett said. The women's softball team wasn't as fortunate this year,

however. They didn't make it to the ESAC championships and their final record in the northern division was Oand 4. Coach Sam Vasiliades said, "This year was a building year with all the freshmen.'' Being his first year coaching here at Cabrini, he said, "It gave me a chance to see who was interested in softball and who wasn't. " Vasillades said that there wasn't enough dedication. "The players didn't want to commit themselves to a winning season," he said. Another problem expressed by Vasi_liadeswas the amount of players on the team. This season there were 18 players. According to Vasiliades, this is too many. He plans on having only 13 players next·year. Adding to the list of problems was the weather conditions. As the saying goes, '' April showers bring May flowers,'' April was definitely a month of showers.

As the 1988-89 school year draws to a close, I would like to personally thank the current Loquitur staff for giving me the opportunity to present and write a column, which has drawn controversy and praise. I would also like to personally congratulate the newly-elected Loquitur staff for the 1989-90 school year. * "WE WILLKICK--, GUYS!!!"* As Spring passes us by and the Summer slowly moves in, I would like to offer these thoughts and comments for you, the reader, to ponder over for the next few months: * The Flyers will win the Cup! I never thought a die-hard Ranger fan would say that but, for some odd reason, I have a feeling this is their year! Are you happy now, Jeffrey and Basil! * The Phillies are going to be playing some good ball over the summer months. There's no way that they will win the National League East Flag, but at least their style of play will raise some eyebrows

around the league and the Philadelphia fans will, at least be content with this ball club. * MVP Award for April: Sam Vasiliades, Cabrini women's softball coach. You have done an excellent job with this team. You have showed the girls leadership and hard work and with you at the helm next year, things can only get better. Congratulations, Coach! * Let's GO KNICKS! * Pat Zipfel: Thanks for the opportunities, the advice, the talks and your big dreams! Your gonna make it! * To the Cabrini Senior Athletes: Thanks for the memories and good luck in the future! ALL RIGHT! * As September rolls around, the Eagles will be flying out of the gate to the Super Bowl! * Watch out for Cabrini Basketball next year! * To my loyal readers: I'll be back whether you like itornot! Th;mks for all your support, praise, negative comments and wisecracks! * Hey Bisconte, Always Stack Your Chips: 35 Black! * Three cheers for all the guys who play in the pick-up softball games, after dinner and on weekends. It's a great time! Let's continue it next year! Tliat's it! Have a blast over the summer and good luck on exams! It's been fun!

''The rain prevented us from working on things outside,'' Vasiliades said. Finally, a problem faced in the game was pitching. Vasiliades said, ''There were games we should have won but lost because of pitching.'' One goal V asiilades had for the team was to win the ESAC championships. He believed he had a team to win it. "But it didn't work out that way," he said. Moving away from the diamond and onto the green, the men's golf team fared well in their season. They ended their season with a record of 6 wins and 5 losses. "It was a good success. Last year we only won 2 matches," Coach John Dzik of the men's golf team said. "We could have done better in the conference." At the ESAC championships this year, Cabrini finished forth out of five teams with a score of 466. Allentown College finished in first

place with a score of 422. '' I was a little disappointed with the outcome at ESAC,'' Dzik said. Brian Kilroy shot an 89 which, according to Dzik, is bad for Kilroy. "Brian shot his worst round of the season.'' Dzik said. Steve Wescott shot an 88 and Dzik said he missed being a contender for first place. ''We had a winning record, I am happy about that," he said. Dzik' s outlook for next year is positive. "If we get a little consistency in the game we will be better next year. Three out of four of the top golfers will be returning." Jerry O'Donnell, junior, said, "We started out the season strong. We only had two wins last year." O'Donnell feels the team surprised a lot of other teams. When asked how he did this year, O'Donnell responded, ''I'm not much of a golfer, I'm just out there to have a good time."
