$1,500 theft at Woodcrest

by Johanna Church and Jennifer Morri son Fifteen-hundred dollars worth of jewelry was stolen from Woodcrest last week.

Karen Kerchusky, Maria Toth and Kim Keck woke up on the morning of Oct. 11 to find some jewelry missing. At first, they thought they misplaced it.

But when Toth saw Keck's chain by the door without the dog tag that belonged on it, they grew suspicious.

They discovered that Keck was missing two rings and a dog tag while Toth was missing five rings.

Immediately, the girls reported their missing property to security and their resident assistant and later learned of similar experiences occurring throughout the dorm.

Other girls in W oodcrest reported two men walking into their rooms while they were sleeping. Upon entering the rooms,

each of the girls awoke, frightening the intruders who then walked back out before being questioned.

Keck, Toth and Kerchusky concluded that when the men entered their room and they did not awake, that the men proceeded to steal what they could.

Radnor police were brought in to investigate the incidents.

Unconfirmed reports state that around three a.m. two men were brought into Woodcrest by two residents of the dorm after paritals.

The investigation is still underway by Radnor police.

"It's really scary to have guys in your room when you are not aware of it,' ' Keck said. ''Fortunately, we weren't raped.''

Toth' s parents were more upset about the locks than the jewelry. Keck said that there should be a mandatory guard in each dorm at night, for about eight to nine hours.

Parking privileges for some Out not for all

by Mark Gudas A new plan to reserve parking spaces in the Sacred Heart Hall parking lot is causing controversy between students and faculty.

The 22 spaces nearest the Widel).erCenter and Sacred Heart buliding are going to be reserved for faculty, staff, and handicapped.

Nearly every college has some area set aside for faculty, staff, and handicapped to park.

Dean of Students, Robert Bonfiglio, received letters from members of the campus community requesting new parking spaces.

Bonfiglio forwarded these letters to Dan Neyer, head of the parking committee.

Neyer and the other members on the committee got together and decided to reserve the spots nearest the Widener Center and Sacred Heart building.

In addition to the new spaces, the new parking stickers are available at student services. Students who do not have parking stickers are advised to get them. Failure to purchase these stickers will lead to punitive action.

The seven spaces nearest to the ramps at the Widener Center were originally for the residents of the mansion. The area was well lighted and if the women wanted an escort service they could get it from security.

There has been no official word as to when this new parking situation is going to

get underway. Anyone can park in the Sacred Heart lot, except for the spots reserved for security and handicapped, despite the fact that the other spaces are painted "reserved.'' It does not matter if you live here or are a commuter as long as you have a parking sticker. Residents can park there late at night and get a security escort back to the dormitory if they are afraid to walk.

Until a work order is put in to paint the spaces "reserved" security can't issue tickets.

The addition of the Grace Hall parking lot has cut down on the parking problem somewhat. Many students do not know about the new change that is about to occur. Some had different opinions about the Grace HaU lot. Some think it is good, while others think it is bad.

"It does not make sense to reserve spots for faculty when they have the Grace Hall pi.trkingJot to park in,'' Diane Glancey said.

"The students need those spaces nearest the Widener Center more so than the faculty."

"I have a problem with parking in Grace HaU and having to take the longer walk, especially if I am late for class," Christy Early said.

"The parking situation could pose a problem in the wintertime because if it snows I do not wantto walk the long distance between Grace Hall and Sacred Heart,'' said Chuck Ganime. "I usually end up parking farther away than I want but I don't have any

M.I.A.:

Sister Eileen, where are you?

Approximately one week ago, three freshmen living in Woodcrest were robbed. The incident occurred at 3 A.M., while the girls were sleeping. Two off-campus men broke into the room and stole $1,500 worth of jewelry.

Fortunately no one was hurt.

Thes_egirls are very lucky, much worse could have happened.

On April 5, 1986, a similar incident occurred at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. Jeanne Clery, 19, awoke at 5 AM. to find another student burglarizing her room. She was beaten, raped and strangled.

Since her death, Jeanne's parents have put into effect a law called the Clery Bill which is meant to tighten security measures on all college campuses.

In Jeanne Clery's instance, her door was unlocked.

The three girls in Woodcrest claim that their door was locked.

That really says a lot for whoever installed the locks, as well as security and resident life, for neglecting to check up on, or fix these locks. Or perhaps it was the fault of the girls if they realized that their door was broken and didn't

Cabrini shouldn't have to say, "Who's Sister Eileen?"

They should say, "There's Sister Eileen!" not! We just want to know WHY!?

Granted, bigger schools such as Villanova and Temple probably never see their President. But this is not 'Nova or Temple.

This is Cabrini. A small school. In order for us to develop and grow, the President has to take an active part. You are, Sister Eileen, but it seems to be behind-the-scenes. Nobody knows what you do or what you are striving to accomplish. The only piece of information that the students get from your office is that of a newsletter, published once a month.

Would it be too much to ask to come to an athletic event, to visit a dorm, to attend a Special Interest Open House or just to even eat with the students at the cafeteria? I don't understand why we have to express our comments or opinions at your convenience.

It just doesn't seem right.

I'm not saying show up to everything.

I'm just saying it would be nice to show us, visibly, that the President supports and cares in what we do as a college community.

2) How come there are so many Cabrini "politics" here?

It seems as though, whether any individual, group, club, organization, department or whatever, tries to get something done for the betterment of the school, they have to go through so much red tape before it even gets started. It just seems to be everything, from SGA activities to having blinds or shades in the houses.

Again, Sister Eileen, this might not fall

These are three major questions that I would like to have answered and I'm sure others would like to have answered too.

-Cabrini shouldn't have to say, "Who's Sister Eileen?" They should say, "There's Sister Eileen!"

No charge left in OY! To the Editor: Last week I read with great interest Lou's column, "Straight from Monaco's Mouth."

In his column, Lou asked what had happened to Jocko, the Australian spokesperson for Eveready batteries, whose exclamation, "OY !" was a memorable classic.

Lou, I have the answer to your question.

I was missioned to work at our hospital in Melbourne, Australia from July 1983 to February 1987. While I was there I became interested in Australian Rules Football. One of the notorious footballers played forGeelong. Yes, Jocko. While I was there he did not have the best reputation as a team member. He was loud, raucous and even got in trouble with the law. Then he started to do commercials for Eveready.

When he came on TV we would turn off the sound and even tum off the set in some

instances.

When I returned to the good old USA, I found Jocko doing Eveready commercials here. I had had enough of him. I wrote to Eveready to complain. I even received a letter from their public relations person.

To make a long story short, it seems that other people wrote letters of complaint and refused to buy Eveready batteries like I did.

Soon Jocko was off the air and I received another letter from Eveready with coupons for free batteries explaining that they listened to their customers.

I can only assume that he has returned to Australia. I can ask friends back there what became of him, if you like. Let me know.

Sincerely, Sr. Toni, MSC Assistant Registrar

Not race or color, but a differentkindof discrimination To the Editor: Lately on this campus there has been a new kind of discrimination going on. Even though some of the problem has been recognized, there isn't much being done to correct it. No, this problem isn't discrimination, it is

favoritism.

It is those people (faculty, staff and administration) that choose to "bend" the rules or let something go without notice because they know the student on a personal level.

Yes, this is discrimination. What about the other students who see this, but reali~e that the rules don't get bent for them?

For example, certain people get written up for their actions, but are able to get out of it with only a slap on the wrist or a light reprimand. The same situation might occur and the people involved will pay the full price and get fined.

Another example would be the administration trying to appease certain groups on campus, only to keep the peace, not necessarily because it is right.

People will say that this letter is about jealousy, but it is not. It is about something that Cabrini is losing, fairness to all students. All ,;tudents need to be treated the same, whether people know them on.a personal level or not!

It is natural to like some people better than others, but please don't make your favorites so obvious!

Until the favoritism ceases, and fairness is shown to all students, this discrimination will continue and be more and more evident on campus.

Sincerely, A concerned student

"Boyof summer"enjoysseason of hardwork,sweatand success

by Mark Gudas It all started back on a cold Monday afternoon in February. I had a big year ahead of me, and I was expecting.big things to happen.

I was standing on the track preparing myself for my first year of varsity baseball at Father Judge High School, in Philadelphia. I knew it was going to be a long hard road to success, but I was going to be ready for it. As I started running around the track, I was thinking of all the good things that could happen to me and my teammates.

Every day for a month I ran that track, thinking success all the way. I started out the first week running a mile and then as I increased my stamina I increased the miles.

Before I knew it I was up to three miles a day.

Through this one month of training I knew I was both mentally and physically prepared for the team practices that lay ahead. I believed that through these long and hard practices we were going to mold a winning team.

Before I knew it, my training was over and practice began. There were many kids who came out to show the coach their baseball talent. Some were good, and others should have just stayed home.

On that first day of practice the coach made us run close to two and a half miles.

Some kids got sick and could not keep up the pace, but not me because I knew what to expect. We kept up thepiactice nwoiog every day for about two weeks. Then the weather started to get warmer and I started to get more psyched.

We were finally having a real baseball practice. Each day the coach cut a few more players, and the semblance of a team was beginning to appear. Every day after the final cut we played like the team I knew we could be. We practiced hard and everyone gave 110 percent. All of the players had that winning look in their eyes.

Well, April the eighth had finally arrived and the regular season was here. We finally had the chance to prove to everyone what all the preparing was for. Would all of my training and our team practices pay off? It seemed that way when we won our first game. It became more of a reality when we played the next three games and won them too.

Then our division rivals put us to the test and handed us our first defeat ofhe season.

It was a whitewash, and we lost by a score of 8-0. We won our next two decisions and then we suffered a heartbreaking loss to a team that up until that point did not have a win. Things looked pretty bad after we lost our next two games. People were wondering what was going on, and they started to doubt us.

We won our ne_xttwo games and then we suffered a terrible setback at the hands of last year's champions. It was a hard loss to take asthescorewas 1-0. Wereboundedfromthis loss by beatmg the next two teams who were playoff bound. Then we lost again to the last place team. We needed to win that game to get into the playoffs, but we could not beat the worst team in the league.

It came down to the last game of the seal.on. If we won, it would be awesome, and if we lost it would be a disappointment. We had to win that last game to get into the playoffs. It was a do-or-die situation forus.

We played that game like a real baseball team and everyone was a part of that win. It was a real test for us and we proved that we could win the game in a crucial

of

situation. So on the last day of the season we won our last game and earned the right to play in the post-season.

The playoffs were here and I was getting the chance to experience big time high school baseball. The regular season was over and everyone in the playoffs had a new record. It was another do-or-die situation for all the teams involved. If you won you continued on in the playoffs, and if you lost you could go home and prepare for next year.

According to the playoff system, the first four teams get the right to play in the post-season. We were the fourth-place team and because of this we had to play the thirdplace team. Well, during the regular season we had lost both times to this team, so this proved to be an interesting confrontation.

Nothing mattered to us. We were Father Judge and we were detennined to win. As in any sport, the final outcome is what counts and we emerged as victors.

Next came the second round and we had to play the second-place team. We had split our two games during the regular season. It looked pretty glum when we were losing with only one inning left to play. We had come this far and we were not about to give up. Somehow we would find a way to win, and win we did.

There was great joy on the team that day.

Then we hadto play the first-place team for the • ·orthem Di, i.l.ion Oumpionship.

It was a battle of the titan~ ~ll.U e U>eiWJJ'_..,..,...._,_:tt best pitchers in the Catholic League were going head-to-head. It was not the game everyone expected it to be. We blasted their best pitcher and gave them an embarrassing defeat. We won the game by a score of 8-0.

Father Judge was the champion of the Northern Division.

We were now going to be playing for all the marbles - the World Series of high school baseball. Whoever won this game would be deemed the best team in high school baseball. Everyone was keyed up for this game, both players and fans alike. This was the real test. Anyone whoever played a sport hoped'to get to where we were on that day.

There were writers and photographers everywhere. There was even a television station camera team there. It started out great as we scored 2 runs in the first inning, and in the forth inning we added to our lead by scoring 4 more runs.

Going into the sixth inning the score stood Judge 6 and Bonner 0. In the top of the sixth Bonner scored I run. We didn't score any more runs, but it didn't matter because the runs we had already were enough to win.

In the seventh and final inning Bonner tagged on I more run, but it still wasn't enough.

We held them off and we won the 1987 Philadelphia Catholic League Championship. There was total chaos on the field after that final out was recorded. People and players running everywhere. I had the greatest feeling of my life that day.

That was some season. It started for me back in February and it ended in June. All of the running and sweating paid off. It gave me a chance to be at the emotional peaks and valleys with the other members of the team, and understand what winning and losing is all about. I learned a Jot that year and I grew up both physically and mentally, but what I learned the most is a team that plays and practices hard every day can be a winner even if they don't possess the greatest talent in the world. ·

Prevention through education: the new approach

by Carrie Corr On Saturdays my house was usually like Grand Central Station. Imagine the fear I felt when I walked into the house in the middle of the afternoon, and no one was there. It was summer, I just returned from senior week.

My parents knew I was coming home, where were they? My stomach ached with a anxiousness as I picked up the phone to call my aunt. Somehow I knew something was terribly wrong, I could just feel it.

My aunt picked up the phone and by the tone of her voice, I did not hesitate to ask what happened. My eY.esfilled with tears as she calmly explained what happened.

My brother had been in a serious car accident with his friend. His facial bones were shattered, and he was in a coma. I dropped the phone, and became hysterical.

At the hospital I found out what happened. He had been the passenger of a car with a drunk driver. They hit a telephone pole head on when the driver had fallen asleep. The doctors said that Michael, my brother, had a very slim chance of making it; it would be touch and go for the next 48 hours.

I can not even begin to describe the fear I felt for my brother, while at the same time anger. How could he have been so stupid?

What was he thinking when he got into that car?

My brother made it. He was one of the lucky ones. With the help of cosmetic surgery, and therapy he is back in the mainstream of his 24-year-old peers. Others may not be so lucky.

Oct. 15 to 21 is National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, and Cabrini College celebrates its fourth year of participation with many new and different events aimed at prevention through education and individual responsibility in connection with alcohol use.

Have you noticed the car wreck on the lawn of Sacred Heart Hall? The smashed car that sits there represents what could happen if you choose to drink and drive. The board of statistics is visual proof that alcohol and driving do not mix.

Susan Fitzgerald, director of health services, hopes that the smashed car will remind students of the importance of a designated driver.

"A lot of students go off campus to drink," she sid. "Hopefully this car will remind them of their responsibilities to their passengers, others on the road, not to mention themselves."

Cabrini has tried various types of events in the past including spaghetti and clam

bakes, alcohol-free parties and other open events. ''The turnouts were never very good because of competition from other parties on campus," Fitzgerald said. "The whole reason for Alcohol Awareness week is to make students more aware of the dangers and consequences that follow if you 're not responsible about your drinking.

"This year the Medical Assistants are taking a lot more of the responsibilities, and are planning more specific programs. We also sent out letters to the faculty to suggest they try to incorporate some type of alcohol related issue into their class discussion."

Some of the events scheduled for Alcohol Awareness Week include a party-policy workshop night to teach students how to be responsible hosts. House two and four scheduled an alcohol-free dinner party with MA' s Debbie Malveaux and Trish Renz.

House seven scheduled a showing of the film "Clean and Sober." And Malveaux and Amy Cassari created buttons and informational flyers to be distributed throughout the whole week.

The devastating effect that alcohol has on society is becoming greater and greater each year. According to Knight Ridder Newspapers and the National Council for Alcoholism, these statistics reflect the disas-

ter that alcohol brings: -Over the past 10 years there have been over 250,000 deaths on the highways due to . alcohol.

-There have been 91,000 lives lost due • to alcohol-related diseases.

•More than 6 million serious injuries in non-highway accidents last year alone due to alcohol.

•25 percent of all domestic violence, including spouse and child abuse, occurs because of alcohol.

-40,000 babies were born last year with fetal alcohol syndrome. ·There are more than 3 million teenage alcoholics.

•85 percent of all teenage automobile accidents involve alcohol.

-There were 4.1 million drunk driving arrests last year. ·You are 18 times more likely to be killed

El=

by a drunk driver than to win the state lottery.

There are alcohol anonymous (A.A.) meetings right here on Cabrini's campul They are open meetings that take place on Saturdays from 10 to 11 a.m. in the Widener Center across from the Wig Warn. Everyone is welcome to attend with no questions asked.

For baby boomer's, M.Ed. program is easy transition

by Kevin George

Lock your desks and dorms. Hide in the game room.

Beware, there are students roaming the campus who constantly write research papers, actually do outside reading, pay their own tuition, and love it! They are graduate students and they are everywhere threatening to undermine all that we undergrads cherish: college life as we know jt.

Don't worry; it•s easy to spot one; they 're not wearing sweatpants or sneakers. They're usually seen at night, lurking in that building with all the books. Some brazenly fraternize with the faculty, and some have the audacity to be seen running to class.

Who are these cretins, and who do they think they're kidding?

Not themselves.

There is a species of student on campus that many undergraduates never get to meet, and yet, at one time these masochists of education were just like you and me, regular college students. All of them have already spent four years of their lives in the educational underworld, where the thought of enduring more schooling repulsed them as it probably does you now.

And here they are, back on campus, many times a decade since they last strapped on their thinking caps. Now they come armed with sharp pencils and their sights set on a masters degree. '' I can remember saying that once I graduate, I'll never go back," Carla Skuchas, West Chester State College graduate of 1972, recalls.

But I have really enjoyed going back to school,'' the former music major said. "I'm a much better student now.•· Skuchas, mother of two, is the rule rather than the exception among Cabrini's graduate students. And contrary to what may be popularly believed, these lovers of learning are not all former 4.0s.

"I had ~ childhood interest in t~achin~, but I always struggled academically," Jessica Andraka remembers. It wasn't until after working in the biology field and raising two children that Andraka realized where she belonged: '' When I brought my daughter to nursery school, I said to myself, 'I really love this place."'

Now, she, like many other former members of the working world, find themselves pursuing masters degrees in education, a field many never even considered before.

"It's really funny when you think about how you planned everything back in college, and now it works out completely different," Skuchas, a former yogurt sales representative, reflected.

It's true, some may fit the stereotypical image of learned men and women, but by and large, masters candidates are the same as undergraduates with one essential difference: they've "been there."

Paul Schlecker, MBA, Temple, 1984, left the business world for classroom because he simply found his work with computers "not satisfying."

He now teaches math at Valley Forge Military Academy and Junior College while enrolled in the masters program.

He teaches because he "enjoys the contact with young students.'' Schlecker draws '' a lot of satisfaction' ' from his new career, whereas in his old one he simply drew a lot of dollars.

But before we classify returning students as chi,unpions of self-actualization, there are those entering teaching for more practical reasons.

"I just didn't want to take a job with only two weeks vacation," admits Marie Politowski, formerly a chemist for 21 years with Wyeth Laboratories. When Politowski'sjob moved to New Jersey, she and her friend Joan Jackson also a biochemist, started their own landscaping business and enrolled in the masters program here.

When Jackson and Politowski become teachers, they will bring nearly 40 years of chemistry experience into the

I=

classroom. Politowski says it will benefit.the students to have a teacher who "knows h~w to make a living in chemistry."

Not only will it benefit her •future students, but her present classmates can gain from her experience as well, and vice versa.

For many working parents, education is the only "ideal" career that allows a balance between family and financial responsibilities.

The challenge exists in making it through the grueling course work while raising a family. But it can be done with the right attitude, as Sharon Sides, a 1988 Cabrini graduate, explains: ''You don't have to necessarily separate the two (family and school.) Your family can become part of what you 're doing. I've told bedtime stories to my kids by reading them my history homework.''

Part of the enrichment of attending classes in the masters program is learning with people of such varied backgrounds.

In any one class you may find yourself sitting next to a working teacher, a working mother, even a working author.

Imagine being lucky enough to get the seat next to Bob Zaslavsky, Ph.D in Philosophy, English teacher, reader of Greek, former college librarian, author of article~ published in philosophical and literary journals, not top mention his 198 I book: Platonic Myth and Platonic Writing.

Zaslavsky (Dr Bob to his friends) even spent time in the business world, producing programs for cable TV. He left because ' 'he missed the academic life.•' Interacting with the students 1:>nngs excitement and enrichment to you, they even bring !hings out of you, you didn'tknow you had. They're constantly challenging me," Zaslavsky said.

Dr. Bob will be spreading some of his experience across Cabrini's campus next semester when he conducts two classes himself. •'The Art of Murder'' and •'The Saintly

with a bad history of men.

To Pacino and Barkin's credit, they reveal much more about each other's characters aside from the sexual facade. The audience begins to feel for both of them and don't want to witness the inevitable - either Frank full of holes or Helen in the slammer. Screenwriter Price "doesn't count his chicken before they're hatched" and reveals a suprisingly obviousbut-not-seen plot twist. I will not give away the ending, but let me say it has somehing to do with Helen's notorious history with men.

This movie is not all mystery and sexuality. "Sea of Love" is laced with winy and spontaneous cop-humor. 'The laughter scenes range from Pacino impersonating former New York Yankee great Phil Rizzuto to seven cops sining around writing love poems to zinging one liners from Goodman.

At 49 years of age, Pacino' s box office pull does not have that many miles left on it. After a career of gems mixed with duds, Pacino needs to make the most out of every chance he gets. Pacino shines in this vehicle.

Exhibit showcasesartworkof localfemale artists

by Anna-Marie Karlsen Until Oct. 22, on the second floor of the library there is a show of talented local artists, but there is something different abput this show. All of the artists in the show are women.

"You find that in galleries in New York and Philadelphia, men get more exposure,'' said Diana Kingman of Berwyn, an artist in the show. "Ilik:e these all women shows because sometimes group shows are the easiest way for some women to display their work for the first time."

Kingman is no stranger to the world of art exhibitions. She has done a few one-person shows, but is not affiliated with

"There is still prejudice in the art world, but having all women shows won't end that, persistence will."

- Patricia A. Traub any gallery.

"When you sign with a gallery, they try to dictate what you paint, but I am an experimenter, and I don't express myself when I'm told what to do," Kingman said. "I was thinking of joining a gallery in the future, but not too soon.''

Kingman is an abstractionist, or as she calls herself, a "non-representationalist."

She has two works hanging in the exhibit, "Untitled Figure" and "Untitled Abstraction."

These two are extremely powerful works that stretch the imagination and awareness.

The "Untitled Figure'' is an abstract oil painting with the shadowy presence of two people. They seem to be sad, with their heads hanging low. The basic color scheme is black and other dark hues.

As with the diversity of artists, so are there diversities in the works at group art displays. Artist Betty E. Miller, from Norristown, is one of two sculptors in the show. She has two statues in the exhibition.

The one called "Standing Model" is a nude woman that is made of grey epoxy. On the statue, there are painted

silhouettes of women, that, in Miller's words, "gives you something to see a~a distance, and a new perspective as you get closer."

Miller is also an active member in the field of teaching art classes to all ages.

"I just love art so much that teaching it is not even like having a job," Miller said.

During the summer, she teaches at an art consortium in Norristown that involves talented kids from all over Montgomery County. She has been with the program since it was formed five years ago.

••I think that the kids enjoy learning art as much as I love teaching it," Miller said.

In the winter, she teaches adult classes at the Chester Springs Studio.

Miller said, "You're never too old to learn."

An artist also from Philadelphia, Patricia A. Traub, describes her work as "an internal image that is developed from a real person, object or experience.'' She feels that the works she has in the show are deeply gripping. One in particular is a self portrait, that is so full of sadness that it grabs the observer from across the room. '' A lot of my work shows the frame of mind I was in at the time that I did it," Traub said. "At the time I did my 'Self Portrait', a close friend of mine had just died and I was trying to deal with it.''

She also said that many times at shows, people tell her that her work brings out feelings in them that had not before come to the• surface, and that the feeling is so overwhelming that they begin to cry.

"Some people have even told me their life stories because they think no one else could understand,'' Traub said.

Although she did participate in the show, Traub does not feel that having all men or all women shows is necessary.

•·A show that is promoted to be all one sex has too many generalities attached to it," Traub said. "I feel that group shows are good, but there should be a sexual balance. I am against sexism of all kinds. There is still prejudice in the art world, but having all women shows won't end that, persistence will."

Artist Barbara Danin, also of Philadelphia, says that still life is her style, "I would say that still lifes of gardens is what I find the most enjoyable for me to paint," she said.

Recently., Danin went on a trip to England, to look at the beautiful gardens that Great Britian is famous for. In the show, she has three watercolors that are close-ups of colorful flowers.

There are many treasures to be seen in the show, and the works on display can even be purchased.

"The Joke II," by Betty E. White on display in the library sells for $2,000. (Photo by Kristin Kroll)

Hollywooddream comestrue and 'Life Goes On' for actorChrisBurke

by Kelly Reed Hollywood is the place where dreams are made and broken. For actor Chris Burke his dream is now a reality. Burke, who worked for Cabrini's physical plant in 1986, always dreamed of being an actor, and this season he's starring in ABC's drama "Life Goes On." Burke, who has Down's Syndrome, was a student of the Don Guanella School for the handicapped. He was a helper in physical plant for about six months as part of the Don Guanella-Cabrini training program.

While in physical plant, Burke worked under Rudy Pizzuto. He did odd jobs like moving furniture and cleaning up trash on the campus.

"Chris was always really outgoing; he had lots of energy," Pizzuto said.

Kay Satterthwaite, who formerly scheduled the Don Guanella students for work at Cabrini, described Burke as "talkative and super polite.•' The dreams of a career in show business began when Burke was 5 years old as·he watched his brothers and sisters act in commercials. He was bitten by the acting bug, iµid his dreams were realized on a small scale with his parts in various Don Guannella productions.

"Chris used to sing along with the radio, and he loved to dance atthe school socials," said the Rev. Enzo Addari, director of Don Guanella.

While on a trip with his family to Tennessee, Burke made a cassette tape of himself singing to the group Alabama's hit song "Elvira."

"Chris was so proud of that tape he played it for us," Pizutto said. "He thought it was going to make him a star. Chris really felt that he was going to go places in life, he was going to be a famous singer, actor or a news reporter.''

The events that led to Burke's role in "Life Goes On" were due in part to his inability to let the harsh realities of life interfere with the plans he had for himself.

In 1987 Burke saw an episode of the show "'I)le Fall Guy" which featured a handicapped boy named Jason Kingsley. Burke wrote to Kingsley and expressed how much he liked the show and Kingsley's performance. A pen pal relationship developed between the two.

Michael Braverman, creative producer of

Cast Members of ABC's "Life Goes n," from left to right, are hris Burke, Monique Lanier, Arnold "the semi-wonder dog," Bill Smitrobich, Patti LuPone, and Kellie Martin. (Photo courtesy of Warner Brothers Television) "Life Goes On," was asked by the ABC network to create a pilot dealing with Down's syndrome. The pilot was originally entitled ''Desperate.''

When Kingsley's mother Emily, a longtime member of the West Chester Asscociation for the Retarded, heard about the auditions for "Desperate" she remembered Burke's interest in acting and recomrnenrled that he audition for the leading role.

Burke learned he had won the role four weeks after auditioning. His dream had come true, andhe began his television career.

Network executives liked the pilot so much, they decided to create a new show around Burke's character, Corky.

"Chris is treated like any other cast member, and he learns his lines with the help of a dialogue coach that helps him stress certain words," said Heidi Trotta, publicist for Warner Brothers Television.

Braverman and the ABC network are backing ' 'Life Goes On" and Chris Burke all of the way. ''Nintey-eight percent of all the phone calls and the mail we have been getting are really upbeat and positive,•' Trotta said. ''I am so happy for Chris,'' Satterthwaite said. "People seem to shy away from them

because they' re different. People just don't realize how much potential they have."

"The very strong emotional ties that Chris has toward his family, and especially his brother J.R. Burke, is one of the reasons that he has been able to accomplish so much despite his handicap,'• Trotta said.

"Chris really looks up to his older brother,and when he wouldcome backfrom a weekend at his brother's house he had all kinds of stories to tell," Satterthwaite said.

"We chose Don Guanella because Chris could be close to me, and the school offered him a lot of opportunities he couldn't get anyplace else," J.R. Burke said. "People should realize that not all mentally handicapped people are on the same levels of comprehension. Sometimes families don't have high enough expectations and can underestimate their abilities."

"Life Goes On" has been doing well in its time slot on ABC, Sunday nights at 7 p.m., and it has consistently appeared at the top of the Neilsen Ratings.

"We love it, the actors are outstanding and the problems that the character Corky faces are problems that the handicapped do have to deal with on a daily basis," J.R. Burke ·said.

The Don Guanella program basically tries to prepare students for life outside of the school by placing them in various jobs in the community.

The students are taught to be dependable, how to handle their money, to be on time and to use the telephone to call in sick if they would need to.

Another key taught to the students is how to use the public transportation system. '' It is essential that the students learn how to get around the community if they are to fit into normal everyday life," Addari said.

"We watch the show here at school and although the problems are dramatized, the show truly is beneficial for people to better understand the handicapped.'' ''Chris real1y seems to work hard at his acting,• ' Pizzuto said. '' His speech is really clear and articulate, and he seems really relaxed." ''Chris is just a very upbeat, optimistic and outgoing person," J.R.Burkesaid. "He believes in himself. Although the family thought he should be more realistic, he didn't lose sight of his dreams.

"I don 'tthink that all of this attention will change him, he has just a phenomenal concern for others," s'.lid Burke about his brother. "He's neat!"

Headaches:Collegewrittenall over them

by Daniella LoPresti Finals, term papers, lack of sleep and the wrong di~t can contribute to the reasons why so many college students suffer from frequent headaches. In addition, alcohol and tobacco are potent causes of vascular headaches.

There are three main types of headaches: migraines, cluster and tension. Each of which has different symptoms and characteristics.

Tension headaches are the most common and are the easiest to treat. These headaches are a result of the muscles in the head and neck becoming tense and tightening together.

While there is no real medical cure for any type of headache, "relaxation and over the counter painkillers are helpful," said Susan Fitzgerald, director of health services.

"No one particular drug works for everyone.

Whatever works for you, definitely stick

with.''

Some studentssuffer from headaches more often than others. "I get headaches about twice week,' ' said Crystal Peterson, freshmen. ''Nothing helps me except sleep.

Staying up late and not eating right, are definitely what gives me a headache.•' "I get heidaches everyday," said Jen Campolieto, junior. According to Campolieto, her headaches exist more when she's in the college environment, mainly because of the amount of stress she is under.

The second type of headache is the migraine. Generally accompanying this type of severe headache are nausea and disturbed vision. Many students assume a severe headache is a migraine.

"Migraines are not as common as students think, " Fitzgerald said. "They run primarily in families and you should consult a physician for treatment."

Previously, caffeine was thought to be an

a

effective remedy for migraines because caffeine constricts the brain's blood vessels while migraines do the opposite.

"Migraines are caused by the dilation and constriction of blood vessels in the brain,'' said Diane Carron, a registered nurse at Haverford Hospital.

Symptoms of migranies include intense pain followed by vomiting and photophobia. Photophobia is when an individual finds bright lights unbearable, Carroll explained.

"No one in my family suffers from mi·graines but I get them often," said Christa Pepper, freshmen.

She usually takes Advil for the pain and attributes her headaches simply to stress.

The thrid type of headache is the cluster.

It usually is on one side of the head and is similar to a migraine. It differs from a migraine in that cluster headaches are recurring and could last only a matter of minutes.

However, this type of headache comes in groups throughout the day; hence the name cluster.

No medical source r:ould give a cure-all drug to relieve the pain of headaches but most students have their own remedies. ''Eight hours of sleep--you simply need eight hours of sleep,'' Peterson said.

"Turn off the lights and sleep," said Jen Dow, junior.

Dow usually takes Tyl~nol and feels it is effective. While Dow finds Tylenol useful, Campolieto believes nothing helps.

Dow and Campolieto do agree, that headaches are common and not enjoyable. So how do they cope when they both are suffering from throbbing headaches?

"Cry," Campolieto said. "I usually lay down and cry." "Complain, I complain quite a bit,'' Dow concluded.

HEADACHES from 7 However, complaining and crying only compound a headache. "An overflow of endomorphine is the cause of 90 percent of all headaches,'' Ziggy Acker, pharmacist at Alpine Drugstore, said. Acker, also agreed that stress was the primary reason for a headache.

So putting additional pressure, by either complaining or crying generally only intensifies the headache.

Headaches, generally, cause no need for alarm. However, there are signs that signal when there is something different from a conventional headache that may need medical attention.

Traditionally, if a student complains he or she is suffering from a headache along with blurred vision and trouble walking, Fitzgerald usually recommends the student see a physician.

"Just because a student has a severe headache, does not mean they have a brain tumor," Fitzgerald added.

All medical figures agree, that the lives college students lead play a major role in why they so often have headaches. Eating fastfoods,mixingalcohol,notsleepingand all around stress are the most obvious reasons students have the most number of headaches.

established a mentorship with her cooperating teacher, Murray Kramer, who she said helped her to identify her weaknesses and strengths.

"Working on a daily basis at the school gave me a different perspective and allowed me to get to know things that I did not get to see through my field experience,'' Fitzgerald said. '' I became part of the teaching staff and got to know the dynamics of teaching on a daily and weekly schedule."

"From a business standpoint, mentors are popular because it enables the company to develop and retain quality employees. Employees who have mentors within the company have personal as well as business reasons for staying with the company." _ - Brian Jensen One concern among female students is that there is a lack of female mentors to provide guidance to women. The reason for this may be that there are not many women in some fields of interest who are willing to act as mentors.

Wellman, who recently put together a press kit regarding mentorships for Phila-

delphia Women's Network, said, "In the past women were more likely to see female newcomers as rivals since there were so few women in the workplace. That is changing and people are finally realizing the necessity of female mentors.' ' This semester, Wellman has an internship in a small office and the president, Pat Bums, has become her mentor.

"She has done so much for me and been so good to me," Wellman said. "It is important to have someone to guide you, someone you can trust who can give you background and let you bounce ideas off of them.'' ' 'The employers seeking students for coop are more and more often women," said Nancy Hutchinson, job developer for the coop office.

Students who have had mentors agree that it is invaluable to have contacts in their field, but they are not the only ones who get something out of the experience. Mentors also benefit from helping students.

"Professionals are flattered by young people contacting them and looking up to them for advice and direction,'' Zurek said.

Jensen, who has served as mentor to many Cabrini studenli,, finds the positive relationships that are formed to be personally rewarding. ''From a business standpoint, mentors are popular because it enables the company to develop and retain quality employees,'' Jensen said. "Employees who have mentors within the company have personal as well as business reasons for staying with the company." '' Anyone who values a life of service will get a lot from mentoring,'' Jensen said.

"It's a win/win situation: I achieve business goals, help a person in need, and establish

"Xavier is already a Haunted House so it really wouldn't make a difference whether they have it here or not,'' said Che Perry, sophomore. "They'll just be adding more things."

He feels this way due to the the chaos that's been taking place on his wing, such as excess trash, people running around in their underwear and just crazy things that have been happening. In addition, he says that as long as it is not in his room, he has no qualms with the Haunted House taking place in Xavier.

Unlike these people, there are a few who feel differently about the whole ordeal.

Mike Tino, sophomore, said that most people didn't want it here because they didn't have much time.

According to Michelle Moses, sophomore, "I still think that we should get part of profit since it's an inconvenience for everybody not just for the guys. It's our donn to as a whole. It's only fair that we get half the profit."

Despite the mixed feelings shared amongst the campus community, Meghan Kane, treasurerofS.G.A., said that the main reason for wanting to have it in Xavier was to get the freshmen more involved as well as the rest of the campus. In addition, she said by working on the Haunted House they all will get a personal reward and satisfaction by doing this.

Tyrone Carr, assistant director of resident life, said that there wasn't any controversy but just confusion due to the lack of communication between Student Government, Xavier residents and Xavier resident assistant staff.

Corbo added that everything is running smoothly now that the men have agreed to participate and allowed them to use their living space.

The cost for tickets will be $3 for adults and $2 for children and Cabrini students. The students will not be held responsible for damages done to props and scenery by the public; S.G.A will take care of this. However. students will be responsible for damagescaused by lheOlielve .-~-----,_.

LadyCavs continueto ace ESAC opponents

by Carol Wells Yarrow A stiff afternoon breeze blustered across the campus Oct. 9. The sunbowedbehindGrace Hall, while flannel-grey clouds lurked to warn of impending winter weather. Afar, the brass trumpets and bugles of Valley Forge Military Academy blared with precision and spirit. These sights and sounds are apt to indicate football. But, to the lady Cavs tennis team they meant the beginning of a rigorous week of tennis. And, team survival meant marching to the service line trenches and firing their best weapons.

By week's end the Cavs had launched themselves into second place in the ESAC (Eastern States Athletic Conference.) Division III league.

Victories over Wesley Co Hegeand Salisbury State earned a number three position, but a default by Marywood clinched the number two spot.

"We're having a very good season this year," said Head Coach Reggie Day. Anticipation of a close match Oct. 12 with the Salisbury State Seagulls, had Coach Day pacing between the plexipave courts, even though the "gulls" arrived with a 2 and 2 record. "They're a touch, Division III team," he said.

A modest confidence was evident in Day, however. The Cavs had just come off an easy 81 league victory over Division III opponent, Wesley College.

Against the Wesley Wolverines, singles wins were garnered by Celeste &chbach, Susie Detrick, Pam Croke and Erin McCarte. Eschbach, who held down the fort at number 2 singles, battled to a 64, 6-1 victory. Detrick, Croke and McCarte, at number 3, number 4 and number 5 singles, respectively, captured victories with scores of 6-0, 6-1. Senior, co-captain Carol Risse conquered number 6 singles in two sets at 6-3 each.

No. I, No.2 and No.3 doubles teams.comprised of Detrick and Eschbach, McCarte and Croke, and April Scott and Stacey Conesky, respectively, teamed-up to score a clean-sweep victory in doubles. . Senior, co-captain Heather Schwarz, the Cavs number I singles player, suffered the sole defeat of the match.

"I just feel burned-out right now," she said.

"I've just been playing for too many years, I guess.

I need a big break. A very big break."

She lost 6-1, 6-1. Schwarz' s loss agianst Wesley upset Day. "I just hate to see a senior finish like this, after all her hard work," he said.

This 8-1 victory over the Wesley Wolverines put the Cavs into 4th place in the ESAC. Overall, even though an easy victory, more importantly it unified team spirit and individual confidence.

"We're beginning to work as a team," said Assistant Coach Gina Strobel.

On Oct. 12 Salisbury State coach, Ray Still, shared the pacing with Cav's coach Day. They each knew it was going to be close. Called because of darkness, the Cavs won at 6 1/2-2 1/2.

To Day's relief, Schwarz marched onto the ~ourt with resurgent confidence and determination. She captured a 6-2, 6-4 victory against Vicki Franz, by driving blistering forehand's crosscourt, targeting the add court comer. ' 'I was pumped for my singles today,•' she said, as her father looked on.

"This match will be won at the number 2 and number 4 singles," Day said, as he watched Eschbach and Croke surrender their first sets.

It was destined to be a long afternoon of threesetters.

Eschbach, a freshman, pulled up her bootstraps, after. her first loss to opponent Millie Baer, to secure a 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 victory. As Eschbach's brother and fellow Cav, Leo, looked on, "I thought about the end of the season," she said. "I wanted a winning record."

She stepped out with an early break of serve in the second set, drilling her two-handed backhand to Baer's add court with fiesty consistency.

Coach Day continued to pace, until Eschbach commanded the tempo in the third set, breaking serve four times.

Detrick, a sophomore transfer student from Susquehanna University, overpowered her senior rival, Pam Vay, 6-1, 6-2. Detrick cooked in the second set, serving-up strong, deep serves and dishing-out deceptive drop shots.

This win disputesa pre-seasonlackof playing, however, ''building confidence, moving more and practicing my strokes," Detrick said, is what she'll be working on. She's taking one match at a time, with ESAC as her season goal. For Detrick, coach Day is the first male coach of her career.

"It's good, because he's into winning and so am I," she said.

Croke, a senior, diligently salvaged her threesetter, coming back from being down 3-5 in the third set, to gamer a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory over Suzanne Curtis.

Risse lost her battle 6-4, 6-3 to Christina DeSanto, after being ahead 2- J in the first set.

In doubles, Detrick and Schwarz were slated against Franz and Baer. The Cavs lost 7-6(8-6), 64.

Kim Wheeler and Risse won over DeSanto and Marshan, 1-6, 6-3, 7-6(7-2).

Scott and Conesky joined forces to-conquer Curtis and Vay, 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, as darkness necessitated the end of play, ending Coach Day's pacing.

Schwarz:anace to win ESAC Championships

by Carol Wells Yarrow Resurge_nt~d determined, senior co-captain Heather Schwarz has her sights set on capturing the #1 tennis smgles at the ESAC (Eastern States Athletic Conference), which is slated for Oct. 21 at Salisbury State.

• Schwarz is armed with experience and confidence gained over the years from her ESAC and ~ NAIA (National Athletic Inter-Collegiate Association) participation. As a junior, Schwarz came in second in the ESAC, where she was seeded as #2. In 1987, as a sophomore, Schwarz competed at the NAIA 's in Kansas City. She lost in her first round singles, and made it to the quarter finals in doubles.

This season, playing #1 singles for the Lady Cavs, Schwarz holds a 7 and 6 record. Head Coach Reggie Day sights senior year demands as the reason Schwarz' s record is not more favorable this year. "The pressures--classes, activities, job marketanticipation--raise havoc with conducting your life," he said. "It's very distracting." , After a couple of unexpected season losses this year, Schwarz regained confidence with a Division III victory,dismis~ing her Salisbury State opponent6-2. 6-4.
