Suspicions followed, drugs found

by Angie Corbo Suspicions of drug usage lured the resident life department into an investigation, which led to the discovery of marijuana in Woodcrest two weeks ago. Four freshman women pleaded guilty of using the drug on repeated occasions. Ten others then came forward to say that they had experimented with the drug one time only.

Resident assistants (RAs) in the building became curious when they noticed the scent of incense. They also noticed that the now proven offender's door was shut during the times that the incense was being burned.

The RAs suspected that the residents were smoking marijuana. Yet they were warned by Tyrone Carr, assistant director ofresident life, notto go into the room unless they were absolutely sure that the action was in progress.

Sally Amatelli, RA, chose not to enter the room on one occasion that she believed the women were smoking. Instead, she opted to file an incident report, documenting her

suspicions.

Shortly after this initial incident report was written, John Doyle, director of resident life, said that Carr's senses were alerted to the problem at hand. He reportedly smelled marijuana on the clothing of one of the alleged offenders as she walked past him in the cafeteria. There was no longer a doubt in Carr's mind as to the question if the resident had been around the drug.

He and Doyle felt that this provided grounds to legally begin their formal investigation.

Acccording to the handbook, the resident life office has authority to search a room, if the department has reason to believe that an illegal activity is taking place.

At this point, Doyle and Carr felt that they had ample reason to search the two rooms that Amatelli had indicated may be involved in her incident report.

Without a great deal of searching, a quarter-filled bag of marijuana was discovered. Resident life officals placed full

responsiblity upon one source. The source, a Woodcrest resident, was approached and questioned by .Doyle and Carr.

Shortly following this, two students came forth saying that they were involved with the incident. At the last minute a fourth came foward and admitted her guilt to resident life administrators.

Ten other women went to resident life to admit that they had smoked the drug on one occasion only. Doyle said that he believes that there were a more residents involved in the situation who have not come forward.

Doyle praised the honesty of the women in this situation. Although they had committed a major offense against college regulations and the resident life program, he cushioned the sanctions against the women because they were honest and cooperative with the resident life department, they were not caught smoking the drugs and they were not involved in dealing the drugs on campus.

Doyle said that the drugs were purchased off campus. This element also persuaded the department to go easier on the offenders.

The full extent of the sanction would have permitted the institution to expel the women from the college and to contact the authorities .

What action did Cabrini take upon the parties im·olved? ;Jbe women were a~ked t c ••-~---;pare;;;:;n:;:tc;;,~pl6a;c,ed on probatton, asked to do some positive drug programming for Woodcrest.

unification within the building. Amatelli reports that the women in the dorm have had a very positive reaction to the sanction.

The intent behind the programming aspect of the sanction was to be educational.

The women have already admitted to their offense. Now they are making a contribution to the dorm and campus at large by providing informational programs on marijuana, crack/cocaine, barbiturates and alcohol.

These programs and this sanction were intended to serve as a scare tactic for others who contemplate violating the drug policy.

Although the fines were not the same for each of the four offenders, the amount has been confirmed by an involved source to be within the range of $100 and $500.

This fine, in comparison with other fines for campus offenses lies within the range that the resident life office sanctions for the offenders of illegal_partiesand for possession of a keg.

Resident life "feels good" about the intensity of the sanction issued to the women. Doyle said that the fullest extent of a drug sanction should be reserved for offenses with the "harder" drugs.

The department also commented their fear in tampering with expulsion. "If the women were to be expelled, then their college career; v.ould come toanend".Do}le :.aid. " •o school wowdaccept a ~tudent if they were expelled on a drug charge." · 'It was just a dumb mistake that was made, only six weeks into the school year,'' resident assistants in Woodcrest said.

This first incident is what will serve as the base for future offenses during this academic year, according to the resident life department.

Anyone who might of been feeling a little under the weather in the past three weeks may have encountered a new friendly face in the nurses office, Olga Lien.

The Director of Health Services, Susan Mason Fitzgerald has begun woking part time so a staff nurse was hired to fill in.

Susan Fitzgerald is going into her fifth year working at Cabrini. The first year she was part time and filled in on the second shift. Then a year later she became the director of health services.

Before Fitzgerald came here in 1985 she worked at McGee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia. She worked with spinal cord and head injury patients. Most of her patients were victims of drunk driving and

basic car accidents. The age range of her patients were 17-25. ''I like working with young adults,'' Fitzgerald said. ''They seem so much more receptive about learning and changing their lifestyles for the better."

Fitzgerald loves working at Cabrini because it gives her the chance to share her knowledge about good health to so many.

Over the past five years she has been fine tuning the health programs offered to the campus community.

"I hope health education has expanded and improved," Fitgerald said.

Fitzgerald offers several programs for the students and faculty. She's very more Nurse on 9

Changingsignswith the times One of the aims of Cabrini College is to become better known in the surrounding area.

With factors such as increasing enrollment and more widespread publicity, the college has to make some necessary changes to make the campus more widely known and accessible to those who attend.

In other words, we need signs in the area telling people exactly where we are located.

- Traveling on the Schuylkill Expressway, there is a noticeable sign for St. Joseph's University. · Also, at the Gulph Mills exit, there is a Villanova-Rosemont sign.

Why then, at this exit, is there no sign for Cabrini, or Eastern College?

There is a sign off of the exit, but it is crumpled and bent.

The reason for the Villanova-Rosemont sign was because Rosemont had placed a request, and it was granted, if they conceded to share the sign with Villanova.

Why couldn't Cabrini share a sign with Eastern?

Actually, according to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (Penn Dot), it isn't feasible to have a sign on a major roadway, such as the expressway, for a school with less than 4,000 students enrolled.

Why does the enrollment have such an impact on having a sign placed on a major roadway?

Many of the students from Cabrini are not from this immediate area.

Many hale from the tri-state area and beyond. Signs, not only on the Schuykill, but on the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Turnpikes, Route 202, and especially on the partially constructed Blue Route, are desperately needed.

According to these Penn Dot officials, it is quantity and not quality that applies in this situation.

What they fail to realize, is that we don't need the signs strictly for public relations purposes.

We need them for the convenience and safety of the people who attend and patronize the college.

The Blue Route, located in close proximity to Cabrini, has a method in which schools apply for signs to be placed on their roadway. Villanova has already applied and has been granted a sign.

The enrollment standards apply in this case, as well. Cabrini is in competition with other small schools in the ar~a, and not everyone can be given a sign.

Why can't the Blue Route place two small schools, located near one another, on the same sign?

On a smaller level, there are hardly any signs on Lancaster Avenue, •in Wayne, that point out where Cabrini is located.

The Public Relations department at Cabrini is looking ·into this with serious intent.

If we solve the problem by erecting small signs in the area, we can move on to bigger and better things, such as signs on major roadways.

This is a necessary step for Cabrini to take, and state officials to realize.

We are a growing community.

A reflection·on pride barbara wilson editor-inchief Looking back at my high school days I distinctly remember the many Friday night football games that I attended with such pleasure. I.often ask myself why did I enjoy these games, what was so special?

Could it be the social atmosphere that surrounded me or the thrill of competition? It could have been both, but I chose to believe that what attracted my classmates and me to such a function was the pride and commitment that we felt for the team we supported.

An example of such pride and commitment was echoed in the roar of the crowd and the banners that many of us sported every time our team scored. If our team did not win on ability it sure would have been a winner when it came to support and pride.

Now that I am in college, I have directed my energies and pride in a new direction. The direction of my energy is not cheered by crowds, and no one sports banners in support. However, working on Loquitur has gained my interest, and is worthy of the pride I feel every Thursday night when the paper comes out.

I do not expect a pat on the back for the work that I do; the self-gratification I feel from the success of the paper i~ enough.

However, as I watch my fellow editors and myself go through the daily routine of publishing a weekly paper, I have come to realize that it takes dedication to do as we

have.

The type of dedication and commitment reflected by the editors, and many other students who are involved in various activities is important. It shows that there are people who care and are able to focus their energies toward something more constructive than sitting around and complaining about the negative aspects of life.

There are so many things in life in which people can take pride. However, many individuals fail to see what they can accomplish if they put their minds to it.

Winning football games and working on an award-winning paper are only a few aspects of life that gain respect and recognition, which keeps my inner self happy.

However, it is a shame to see that many people fail to realize open opportunities on which they could focus their energies. By finding and pursuing specific goals, I think people would be better able to understand the true commitment and experience the thrill of succeeding in what they set out to do.

Pride is not only found in the big projects or causes that many of us take on.

It also is in the little day-to-day activities that can lift us up and help us to contribute to the betterment of society.

It takes true courage to commit and change the unjust things in life. Taking steps toward a more c.onstructive society is what makes life more bearable and helps people focus on what it could be, and not what it is and always will be.

Having pride in accomplishments is one aspect of life that should not be taken lightly. Another is taking pride in how O(le interacts with others.

The philosophy of do unto others as you would have them do unto you is something I hold true in my every day existence.

If people bestow respecton othersthey then receive it in return.

I guess the basic problem that has me bent out of shape this week is the basic lack of concern for other human beings and for what many of us hold so dearly to our hearts.

Whether the "cause" be saving the world or just participating in an event, passiveness and apathy are an ever-present issue that plagues our world both on and off Cabrini's campus.

Through people's obvious actions it is shown that most people do not pride themselves on their general attitudes.

Haven't you ever wanted to say to someone,

Whether the "cause" be saving the world or just participating in an event, passiveness and apathy are an ever-present issue that plagues our world both on and off Cabrini's campus.

"Yes, your life does effect mine, so get it together?"

I don't think there would be an ever-present feeling of disgust for some behavior if people showed their pride and commitment by being more conscious of others. When a person stops taking pride in themselves it effects everything they do and everyone they come in contact with.

In order to commit to a specific purpose or cause takescourage.If a person has the courage to take on such a task they can then experience the feeling of pride that comes with taking on challenges.

Pride comes in all shapes and sizes.

However, no matter how you look at, whether it be sporting banners or sitting back and knowing you did the best you could, all the positive steps you take add up to the reflection of the pride you have in yourself.

Andresen's ''No Exit'' causes strong reactions on campus To the Editor: .

I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am in the poor judgement exercised by the Loquitur in printing "No Exit" by Erik Andresen. Women have had to work too Jong and too hard to gain respect -- in persona] relationships, in business, in society. ''Die! Die! Die! in no way translates to "I'm getting excited!" When we say no

we mean no! (Have you never heard the phrase "date rape") I'm surprised that an institution -and a news publication -- so dominated by fema1es would exhibit such a lack of sensitivity to the majority gender at Cabrini.

Karen L. Berlant Director of Public Relations

I would like to take issue with the comic strip "NO EXIT" by Erik Andresen, in the October 27 edition ofLoquitur. Surely I am not alone in recognizing the sexist attitude of this "cartoon." I'm curious to know who would consider this type of humor funny.

This piece clearly sends out a message that when women say "no" we mean "yes" (or that we don't say what we mean).

It would seem to me that in this day and age, anyone with any sociaVsexual conciousness would recognize that this type of humor on1y perpetuates an attitude that is detrimental to women, but to our society as a whole.

Having worked on the crisis lines at the Women's Resource Center in Wayne (and having referred numerous women to

the Delaware County Abuse Project and the Montgomery County Rape Crisis Center), I have had considerable opportunities to bear witness to the negative effects that "mixed messages" can have on women.

Beyond those effects on women are those on men, and worse yet, children who hear these messages and grow up believing this attitude is acceptable.

Not only does this "cartoon" offend women, but it also insults men. The implications are that men do not listen or hear what women are saying to them, that they are too stupid to understand the difference between yes and no, or that they are too egotistical to care! Either way, it is quite an indictment on every man's intelligence.

Haven't we come fartherthanthis in our lives and in our society? And if not, why not?

Jini Loos Public Relations

To the Editor:

To the Editor:

I was incredulous to read Erik Andresen's "No Exit" in the October 27, 1989 issue ofLoquitur. "The Clueless Male's Guide to In terpreting Rejection Lines'' included such quips as a when a woman says "when hell freezes over," a man can interpret this as "that depends."

While obviously meant to be funny, this only promotes the notion that when a woman says 'no' she means 'yes,' or at the

means. This is an idea that has fueled rape and sexua1 harrassment.

It seems to me that the college years are a time for understanding who we are, learning to express how we feel and to be taken seriously for what we say. And what we say is what we mean.

Linda A. Fox Human Resources Manager

One scratch for the Billiards Club To the Editor: I would just like comment on the article concerning the new pocket billards club. Being a member of the SGA Executive Board, I would like to clarify a few points brought up in the article. First of all, the club had a budget from the moment they decided to begin a new club, they only thing that wasn't decided was the amount.

SGA never decided whetherornot they would accept the donation, and I would just like to say SGA will not accept any donation. The money will be held forthem if

the winner of their tournament makes it the semi-finals or higher. This money will help pay for their trip.

The only stipulation that we require is that they attend four SGA meetings.

If they do not their budget will be revoked.

The reason for this is to keep the lines of communication open between the clubs and SGA.

Sincerely, Meghan Kane Treasurer

Locating campus may be left to maps and memory

by Meghan Flannery Most students have heard the infamous saying, "Where's Cabrini? Just down the road from Villanova."

What they may not realize is the serious problem the college faces about getting its location known.

Several students expressed that they have had trouble finding the college.

Lisa Suosso, a freshman from Trenton, NJ., had a few stories to tell about getting here. ''One night, I was coming back from the mall," Suosso said. "It was nighttime, and !totally missed the entrance. You couldn't see it at all."

After realizing she went too far, Suosso said she made a couple of left turns.

"It was kind of an accident that I finally got here," she said. "I had no idea where I was."

Suosso complained that Cabrini is severely lacking road signs and that entrances are poorly marked.

"On Gulph Road, the entrance is right against the fence," she said. "On King of Prussia Road, down by Xavier there's this huge sign on the corner, but not by the gate.''

Freshman Lynda Iuvara, of Haddon Heights, NJ., agrees that the entrances are too inconspicuous.

"If you try to find this college at night, forget it," Iuvara said. "You just can't. We still go out around here and can't find our way back."

Trisha Hickman, a freshman from Mt. Laurel, N.J., thinks the problem is due to the lack of signs on major area roadways.

"This place is hard to find," she said.

"Coming up here, the only signs we saw were real tiny ones that had been all bent up."

Hickman voiced a common complaint of Cabrini students. Other area colleges such as Villanova and Immaculatta have large signs on nearby highways. '' All Cabrini has are three little, crumpled green signs,'' Three,'' Hickman said.

"That's itasfarasl saw. Even my parents asked where our signs were. Come on, Cabrini!"

Since the signs are placed on state roads, appoval for the signs must be received from the l>ennsylvania Department ofTransportation (Penn Dot).

Radnor Township officials said a college contacts the township about signs.

They in tum approach the state.

"You send us a list of where you want to put signs," a spokesperson for the township engineering department said.

"We '11send the list off to Penn Dot."

According to Gene Ruane, director of public relations at Villanova, getting a college road sign up is not an easy task.

"You really have to i.qipress upon the statewhyyouneedroadsigns," Ruane said.

By pointing out that it is for the safety and convenience of motorists, and not for public relations, a college has a better chance of getting approval for a sign.

"We got the sign on the expressway because we had people stopping abruptly to turn, unable to look discreetly for where to go.''

According to Penn Dot's policy regarding road signs on the Schuylkill Expressway, a college must meet a minimum enrollment requirement of 4000 students. There is also a limit of two ''attractions'' on each sign at an exit, such as the VillanovaRosemont sign at the Gulph Mills exit.

Penn Dot's policy T-161, the newest signing policy, says what is allowed on a college sign. The name and an arrow indicating the direction of the college are usual. If the college is more than a mile away from the location of the sign, the distance may be noted on the bottom of the sign.

Once approval is received for a road sign, results are far from immediate. Ruane said it took over two years before they saw any signs, and even that was after months of cutting through the red tape.

"Rosemont was lucky," Ruane said.

"They made a request for a road sign and Penn Dot said they could have it right away, if we didn't mind sharing the same sign. Of course, we didn't, and that's how Villanova and Rosemont got the signs.

Villanova has already arranged to have a sign placed at an exit on Interstate 476 (the Blue Route). Cabrini may apply for a sign as well, but because of enrollment requirements, it may not be possible to get a sign.

"I cannot feasibly see giving a small school a sign rather than a bigger one,'' said Bob Copp, a traffic technician for Penn Dot. "Maybe if Cabrini was the only school out here, but there are quite a few schools out here on the Main Line."

It seems a feasible solution for Cabrini's sign problem would be to begin the procedure to get more signs.According to Karen Berlant, director of public relations, getting new signs up is the goal of her department over the next year.

"I plan to review the situation," Berlant said. "I plan to see where signs are needed and where new ones should go.''

Berlant said the corner of Lancaster and Wayne avenues is one such location.

Sawyer 'links today's business needs with tomorrows techno¡logy'

by Mark Gudas Valley Forge Military Academy gave an award to a Cabrini junior for outstanding work he did there last summer as a cooperative education student.

Junior business administration major, Daniel Sawyer, worked as a data base management analyst at the military academy.

While there, Sawyer developed a personal data base with several other data bases in order to maintain military and academic rank, and modified the needs of management. He also developed a system to automate cadet health records and trained health center personnel in the use of dBase

III Plus data base programs.

On Sept. 1, 1989, Lt. Col. David Rivard presented Sawyer with an award.

A graduate of West Philadelphia high school, Sawyer is majoring in business administration with a concentration in finance.

One day, at the end of his co-op, he was coming from the health center and his supervisor and the Colonel were in the office. They told everyone there to be quiet.

Then the Colonel started reading his award and everyone applauded.

"I started to get emotional, and I made a

Most of the signs that Cabrini has around the Wayne-Radnor Township area have to be shared with other small colleges. This one is located on Lancaster Ave. and North Wayne Ave. (Photo by Frank Emmerich) ¡ "There's a sign there for Eastern College, but none for Cabrini," she said.

"I would like to hear from students," Berlant said. "I would be interested in knowing where new signs should be put up.''

According to Copp, signs usually go on the nearest traffic route or intersection to the college.

Once is it determined where signs should be erected, attempts to get the signs up will begin.

The college is responsible for the cost of

If Penn Dot does not grant approval for a state road sign, the college may erect there own signs, providing they do not create traffic problems. ''We do not condone putting up your own signs, but our department will not remove them," said Copp. "If they are a problem, the Right-of Way people will handle it."

After graduating, Sawyer hopes to create his own data base management systems company. He wants to start in his own home and venture out from there as the business prospers with the possibility of maybe purchasing property and branching out even more.

He wants to input records, find out goals of companies, keep track of payroll and keep track of employee records with this special data base management system.

He wants to start a company that will introduce data base systems to other companies.

The co-op at Valley Forge was his first.

He likes the one here at Cabrini because it is a small college and he is not a number. He feels the professor interaction is good and the one-to-one relationship he has· with them is the best.

He was the only person to receive this kind of award. Cabrini co-ops usually get letters of commendation and appreciation.

These letters communicate how well the employee adjusted to the company, his preparedness for everyday duties anq the fine job he did.

He liked the idea of having little supervision at Valley Forge because he could use his analytical skills to solve problems. He was meeting the needs of the people working there.

Everyone there considered him a friend and a family member. He was admired and his companionship was enjoyed.

He had an interesting story to to tell about the family atmosphere.

"One day I was walking around and a cadet saluted me and I saluted him back with the wrong hand," Sawyer said. "He made a funny remark to me and I explained to him why I did what I did. We stood there and talked for a few minutes and this was like a friendly atmosphere because we talked as friends and we did not even know each other."

He had no idea he was getting an award.

He had other jobs in his life and all he ever tried to do was his best. He never expects

wants to expand his company into computer consulting, with people working under him.

His company can find out the needs of other companies and report back to him. When he finds out the problems of these companies he can send his people out to them and they can use data base to correct the questions.

If he can't start his own business he wants to go into business with his father. As a team he hopes everyone could do their own thing and maybe they could become partners with someone else. They could find out the needs of other companies and meet these needs.

"When I took the job at Valley Forge I was not thinking about themoney," Sawyer said. "I knew I had the opportunity to work with computers and this knowledge would benefit me in the long run. I made great contacts for when I go to look for a job after I graduate. The information I received at Valley Forge is going to be very valuable to me when I go to start my own business.''

He was happy with his overall experience at Valley Forge. He learned the ins and outs of data base and got exposure in developing them. ''The Colonel taught me things I never knew before and because of him I received a full range of knowledge,'' Sawyer said. '' His background made him successful,' ' Rivard said. "Dan was an all-around worker.

He is the kind of person you want to have support and represent your school, community, and country."

The '50s:

America changes as it

The first in a series of five focusingon the decadesof the past Editor's Note: As we approach the '90s, Loquitur w/11be taking a look back at the past three decades to understand where we have been and where we are now.

We will then be looking ahead to where we are going in the future and what the '90s w/11bring.

by KeJlyReed "One, two, three o'clock four o'clock rock, five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock.'' These are the opening words sung by Bill Haley and the Comets in "Rock Around the Clock,'' the hit song that ignited the spirit of the teenage culture in the '50s.

From the first beat of this song the post war generation found something that was exclusively theirs. Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" was the number one song for two months and sold more than 16 million copies. ''They discovered it, they danced to it, they protested to it, got married to it, and someday will probably die to it," said Landon Jones, author of "Great Expectations."

Music Music is what gave this teen culture its identity, and rock and roll was the release from their emotions.

In 1954, Elvis Presley arrived onto the music scene with instant hits such as "Heartbreak Hotel" am;l"Hound Dog." He was compeiling, sensual, and he appalled parents and clergy with his gyrating hips.

When Elvis appeared on the "Ed Sullivan Show" in the '50s the producers would only film him from the waist up because of his

latest pop music with dances such as "The Watusi," "The Mashed Potato," "The Hully- Gully," "The Swim," "The Gitterbug" and "The Slop."

In the late 1950s the record industry received another big boost when long playing records were introduced.

The long playing record allowed singers to record more than 50 minutes of songs on each side of the album.

Record sales increased from 182 million in 1954 to 521 million in the 1960s.

Television The birth of television in the early '50s overshadowed radio, newspapers and any of the other forms of communication up to that point in history. It would change and shape the lifestyles, values and attitudes of this generation like nothing else ever had.

Comedians such as Sid Caesar, Bob Hope, Imogene Coca and Jack Benny suddenly appeared in the living room of families across America.

Shows such as "I Love Lucy," "The Jack Benny Show," "The Ed Sullivan Show," "Leave it to Beaver," "Texaco Star Theater with Uncle Milton Berle" and "The Honeymooner's" were some of the the hits from the early television days.

Neighbors would hurry through dinner to rush over to a neighbor who had one of those new ''fads,'' a television, to catch Milton Berle on "Texaco's Star Theater."

Movies While Americans were tuned into their televisions, the movie theaters were suffering through the worse slump since the Depression.

However, the scheduled release of "The Moon's Blue" in 1953 drew attention to the movie indus-

"They discoveredit, they dancedto it, they protested to it, got marriedto it, and somedaywill probably die to it."

- said LandonJones,authorof "Great Expectations"on Rockand Roll defiant spread-leg stance and his flexing thighs.

Sandra Dee, Little Richard, Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly also be-bopped their way into the hearts and feet of the teen culture.

On Aug. 8, 1957, the age of rock and roll was taken to a new height when ABC acquired a national hook-up in Philadelphia for "American Bandstand."

Dick Clark was the host for the 60minute dance show featuring popular stars such as Jerry Lee Lewis.

Viewers tuned in to watch local teens from South Philly like Kenny Rossi and Justine Corelli hop to the

try. The movie was denied release by the Hollywood Production Code because it contained words such as "virgin," "seduction," "mistress," and "pregnant."

Movie houses refused to show the movie and the Roman Catholic Legion of Decency denounced it as being immoral. However, the movie was a success where it was shown because the public came to see it in droves.

"Baby Doll," a movie made in 1956, was also denied access to most movie houses because it contained heavy breathing and closeup scenes of thumb-sucking. The Hollywood Producton Code con-

sidered "Baby Doll" almost pornographic, claiming that it contained carnal knowledge.

Although break-through movies like "Baby Doll,"and "The Moon's Blue" did attractviewers the movie industry did not really pick up.

Innovations in the movie industry such as the use of3-D in movies like "The Creature from the Black Lagoon," and the emergence of a new generation of stars such as James Dean and Bridgette Bardot helped bring new life to the ailing industry.

The founding of a new glossy and up-scale magazine by Hugh Hefner in 1953, known as "Playboy," helped launch the movie career of its first centerfold, Marilyn Monroe.

Social Changes Other major social changes in the '50s included a significant number of the population leaving the cities to live in new developments in suburbia.

In the suburbs there was a drift toward conformity in attitudes about work, class, religion and race.

Everyone's house was the same in general structure and color. Everyone drove basic American -cars like Fords and Chevrolets. Neighborhoods were divided mostly by ethnic culture and were blue collar or white collar.

Wives were very much like June Cleaver from "Leave It To Beaver.''

They stayed at home and did the cooking, cleaning, sewing and took care of the children. The husband's job was to be a good provider by bringing home the paycheck and by being a good husband and father.

It was the children of these parents and the world of suburbia that were dubbed the "Silent Generation.''

This entire generation was considered silent because it was prudent; it avoided controversy and commitment; it was fearful of politics, ideology and almost totally self-interested.

Fashion The fashions worn by the teens of the '50s were really a reflection of how their idols of the time dressed.

For the girls scarves were worn either in the hair or around the neck.

They wore pastel-colored blouses with little round collars and either short cropped pants, called pedal pushers, or skirts that were tight around the waist and flared at the bottom.

The basic shoes were penny loafers, with real pennies in them, or black and white saddle shoes. Of course, they were worn with a pair of white bobby socks and the ensemble was usually topped by a sweater worn around the neck and only buttoned at the top. The sweater could easily replaced by a boyfriend's varsity jacket or letter sweater.

Added accessories would be a charm bracelet, with at least a hundred charms on it, and add-abead necklaces. The key item to have was a ring from your steady or at the very least his fraternity pin.

For the guys, clothing consisted of a pair of Levi's or cheenos.

Shirts had wide collars and were generally either brightly patterned or in solid colors. Ties, when worn, were pencil thin, and a white sports coat was worn for formal affairs.

Shoes were either penny loafers with white socks or sneakers with white socks. The hair was worn short, and in some cases a "buz" cut was worn. However, as actor James Dean grew in popularity so did his style of dress.

Hair was slicked back by gels and allowed to grow slightly long, and black leather motorcycle jackets became an overnight sensation.

Dating Dating in the '50s was an allimportant ritual. You certaintly could never stay home on a Saturday night.

There was a real sense of freedom in dating that teens ofthe '50s did not have in other parts of their

lives. It was an adventure, but there were strict senses of formality even without a chaperone.

The culture in which teens lived expected dating to be on a progressive basis. A couple would date steadily for maybe a few months at a time or longer. If the relationship progressed they would exchange class rings and then date steadily.

The giving of a fratenity pin was considered a pre-engagement step, and a party was usually given for the couple. As long as things continued on this course the couple was usually married as soon as it was financially possible.

Literature The literature of the '50s reflected the youth's goals of wanting to find a good job and own a house, in the suburbs just like his parents. Some books were "The Status¡ -Seekers," "The Lonely Crowd," "The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit," and "The Organization Man." The themes of revolt and alienation also were popular among writers, and were best seen in J.D. Salinger's, "The Catcher in the Rye."

'Rocks Around the Clock' A new theme among some writers who had dropped out of the mainstream, and were known as "Beats," dealt with a new counterculture of sexual freedo~ drugs and the idea of having no responsibilities.

Of all-the social changes of the '50s the most important and the most explosive was the issue of racial equality.

Politics In 1953, the Eisenhower administration finished the desegregation of the government and the military, but had little success in pushing for desegregation in other areas.

"It is difficult through law and through force to change a man's heart," said President Dwight D. Eisenhower in reference to the South's refusal to desegregate.

In May of 1954, the Supreme Court ruled on Brown vs. Board of Education, of Topeka, Kan. The court voted unanimously that segregation was unconstitutional.

In Sept. of 1957, nine black students attempted to desegregate

In 1955, King led a bus boycott of the Montgomery, Ala., bus system. Through the use of non-violent sit-ins and protests the system was desegregated within a year.

In 1957, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, the first civil liberties legislation in 82 years.

Through legislation a Civil Rights Commission was formed to investigate denial of voting rights to blacks.

Under Eisenhower's administration America was involved in fighting communists in a war in Korea from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953. 23,000 soldiers were kiJled and over 105,000 were wounded. The war cost America more than $18 billion.

From 1950 to 1955 Senator Joseph McCarthy exploited and prolonged the communism paranoia in America. He was chairperson of the Permanent Investigations Committee, and he used his power in that position to wrongly accuse state department officials, members of the communist party, members of the motion picture

The movie, "The Moon's Blue" was denied release in 1953 by the Hollywood Production Code because it contained words like "virgin," "seduction," "mistress," and "pregnant."

Central High School in Little Rock,

Ark. Orval Faubus, governor of Arkansas, ordered the National Guard to keep the students out of Central High. Federal troops were sent into the area and the students desegregated the school.

With the help of Dr. Martin Luthur King, blacks began to mobilize against other forms of segregation.

industry and countless others as being communist spies and subversive.

In Dec. of I 954, the U.S. Senate condemned McCarthy and his investigations, which never turned up a single spy.

America's inordinate amount of fear over communism came from the cold war relationship that had grown worse with Russia's rapid development of atomic weapons in

the early '50s.

With the death of Josef Stalin in 1953, America had hoped to thaw the cold war between the two countries. However, neither would agree to disarm their weapons.

Learning extends beyond Cabrini classrooms

by Jennifer Morrison Showing up late for his first class at Villanova University Carlos Chamorro, senior, was nervous and apprehensive about the new and foreign campus environment.

Chamorro is one of 14 students who are taking classes off of campus.

"I was never given a tour, and when I went my first time I had no idea where I was going," Chamorro said.

Walking into a new classroom was another problem that had Chamorro a little worried.

"I walked into the cla:.s and the people were a lot more serious," he said. "It was so different from Cabrini.·' Although Chamorro was apprehensive at first, he later found the experience beneficial. His experience reflects the pros and cons of other students taking courses off of campus.

The reasons for taking classes off of campus may vary. For some it's to gain extra credits, for others the course isn't offered, still others leave the campus to broaden their horizons.

Chamorro compared Eastern, Villanova

nova are different from Cabrini. ''At Eastern the students are very conservative and keep to themselves," Chamorro said. "The students at Villanova are not as fast to say 'hello' to you than Cabrini students.''

Chamorro went to Eastern three semesters ago and is currently taking an undergraduate business Spanish course at Villanova to fulfill his Spanish minor requirements.

Chamorro feels Villanova is a little more demanding than Cabrini and his teacher expects the class to work.

Parking is a difficulty for Chamorro. '' At Villanova, the parking fee is $50, and you 're not guaranteed a parking space."

Melissa Griesser, sophomore, finds her schedule very difficult. Even with Eastern being so close to Cabrini, Greissers' three, 50-minute lectures and a three-hour lab affect her volleyball schedule along with her personal life.

Bill Schellinger, sophomore, takes a Spanish course at Eastern. ''My teacher is a native Hispanic and he is sometimes hard to understand because he

work is tough and the textbook is different because the dialogue is in Spanish only, no English. The schedules from Eastern conflict with Cabrini. For example, I have to take a class at Eastern, this year when we have Spring Break."

On the other hand, Chamorro found

"At Eastern the students are very conservative and keep to themselves. The students at Villanova are not as fast to say 'hello' to you than Cabrini students."

- Carlos Chamorro

When Angie Corbo, senior, first went to Villanova to take practical French, she was nervous. Now she thinks it's very challenging.

In Corbo'sclassthereare l5students,and she feels that the teacher has the personal touch like that of the teachers here at Cabrini.

"My course material is very hard, but my teacher has the understan ling and patience to help me when I'm in uouble," Griesser said. '' She has given me a helping hand whenever I need it."

Meghan Flannery, sophomore, is taking a sociology course at Eastern. Her reasons are not because Cabrini doesn't offer it or that she needs it for her major.

'Tm taking the course because the teacher is well-known for his lectures and speaking,'' Flannery said. '' Another reason for my wanting to go to Eastern College is to experience a different college atmosphere.

But I have found that Eastern is a lot like Cabrini and I would like it better in a larger college."

These students feel that their experiences have broadened their horizons and enhanced

benefits.

"The students at Villanova were interested in Cabrini and asked questions as to where and how they could get relatives emolled,'' Chamorro said. •'After th e initial getting used to the change in atmosphere, I e cla _s ·cS arde bu th teache •s,__ th_e_ir_ed_u_c_a_ti_on_al_b_a_c~kgro __ u_nd __ thro_u-'g"-h ...... th~e _____

Frankenstien was brought to life in the eerie laboratory of the evil doctor and then gruesomely attacked by the Warewolf.

The young vampires, of "The Lost Boys" greeted the living as sources of fresh blood on which to have a midnight feast.

A piercing scream came from down the hall as frighten guests of the house tried to turn back. The dead were rising from their graves and chasing the innocent to bring back to the underworld.

Those who dared, continued to walk up the dark stairwell. As they reached the top they were told once again to stay close together and not become separated.

The killer nun knelt over the half-dead body of a student who recieved a 'B' as blood dripped from her rosary beads.

The Phantom of the Opera horrified even the bravest of the brave as he cackled his lines.

Linus' Great Pumpkin was seen in his pumpkin patch, but be was not a friendly giver of treats, instead he was the bearer of death.

From the walls, bats and other creatures of the night swooped around their victims encompassing them in their grasps. Fortunately, all are believe to have made it out alive, and all are safe until next Halloween.

y EDUCATION? Cooperative Education in colleges and universities offers many important benefits. Co-op bridges the gap between the classroom and the world of work.

Missouri for the basis of its abortion control, but it also challenges the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision which protects a women's right to an abortion within the first trimester of pregnancy.

Weiner spent the past 25 years of his life fighting what he believed were injustices against the people. High utility prices, unethical political practices and unfair treatment of the poor were just of few of the issues Weiner vigorously opposed during his lifetime.

Prison Uprisings Two prison uprisings in the past week have officials wondering about the safety of overcrowded prisons. In Camp Hill Pennsylvania, a state prison that is holding 781 more inmates than it should have, was the scene of threedays of rioting by inmates. A clash between inmates and police also occurred at Graterford prison in Philadelphia last Saturday night, and was partially blamed on "copycatting" on the Camp llill incident, prison officials said.

Jim Bakker, the former leader of the PTL club, was sentenced to 45 years in prison and ordered to pay a $500,000 fine for defrauding his former followers. Formerly the most popular T.V. evangelist, Bakker will not be eligible for parole for 10 years.

Anti-apartheid Protest The biggest anti-apartheid protest in South Africa's history took place Sunday when 75,000 blacks joined a rally for the African National Congress (ANC) at a soccer stadium in Soweto. The significance of the protest was amplified by the fact that the white-controlled government allowed the protest-which blatantly violated laws against ''furthering the aims of the ANC' '-to take place without opposition. It was the first outdoor demonstration by the ANC since it was made illegal in 1960.

Amnesty Granted to East Germans The East German government continued its recent signs of flexibility when it declared amnesty to those citizens currently in prison for trying to flee the country or for taking part in anti-government demonstrations. The government also promised prompt action on requests for emigration, which have been estimated between 500,000 and 1.5 million.

Collinstakes field hockeyto new level

by Sharlene Sephton Fear throbs in her every nerve as the enemy approaches.

Heart racing, she can feel her quick breaths against the mask she wears. "Concentrate," she repeats to herself. The player's swann, caging her in, but she is intent on keeping them out. She flexes her knees, bouncing in anticipation, as fear is replaced by instinct and skill.

Such is the siege that Bridget Collins, first-year goalie for field hockey, must confront at each game.

Long shadows stretch across the field after an afternoon of practice. Collins sits on the grass, equipment bag on one side and stick on the other, putting on her white, grassstained sneakers. Slapping herlegs, she says, "I hate gnats."

Coach Mimi Greenwood passes by and yells over, "That's my 48-hour miracle child."

Collins sim~ shakes her head, and is slightly embarrassed. The lowering sun catches her blonde highlights.

For the first game of the season, Collins said the team had been short a goalie.

"Instead of forfeiting, I told them I'd play,'' Collins said.

"We won."

After her successful debut performance, the team and coach convinced Collins to stay and work at playing the position.

"I didn't know what it would be like," Collins said. "All of the people were coming right at me. It's nerve wracking."

Collins, a junior, had never played field hockey until she transferred from Saint Francis College last year.

"Before high school, I had never heard of the sport," Collins said. ''By the time I understood it, it was my junior year."

Collins attended Villa Maria Academy where she played basketball and softball and was captain of both teams in her senior year. She also was vice president of the school's athletic association, which helped familiarize her with the concepts of the game of field hockey.

"It was simply a matter of playing," Collins said. "In some ways it's a lot like basketball. Everyone backs each other up.''

Last season, Collins played left half-back. She feels this

year is more demanding. In one of her more serious moments, Collins said, "Everything depends on the goalie. I feel responsible for every goal that goes in and every loss."

Collins described an effective goalie, as a person who is good at responding when she is put on the spot. As a player, she sees herself as supportive, insightful, and enthusiastic.

"I'd say omniscient," Collins teased, ''But the team might not appreciate that. I am confident in my abilities and my team. The freshmen are a bunch of great kids. They really have their hearts in it."

Lynda Iuvara, freshman right-link, described Collins as a hard-working and energetic force that keeps the team together.

"She watches over us and is active even when play is at the other end,'' Iuvara said.

"She's a great friend, both on-and-off the field."

"She lets you know what you are doing wrong,' ' said Patricia Hickman, freshman center half-back. "She pushes us when we don't think we can make it."

"We were all scared at first,'' Iuvarasaid.

"She showed all ofus."

"I'm just an All-American kid," Collins said with a tilted smile.

This semester, Collins is living at home in Exton, Pa., where her family is a priority, along with friends and schoolwork.

Gameroom:not enoughaction

by Christina Roach When students enter the game room in the Widener Center, they see newly-purchased games such as a pool table, a pingpong table, the knock-hockey table and a pinball machine. But when the smoke-filled air clears and the noise of the games and students having fun subsides, the question still remains: Are the students satisfied with the improvements in the game room?

"The money spent on the game room was not spent wisely," said Mike Becker, senior. ' 'They never asked anyone who uses the game room what they wanted."

Since last year, Student Services has spent $3,830 on equipment, supplies and various projects for the game room. The single most expensive addition was a new pool table, bought last year at a cost of $1,730. Many students feel this money was wasted on an inadequate pool table.

According to the students, the new pool table is already in terrible shape. It is not regulation size, there are curves in the surface of the table and it has needed constant repairs from maintenance since its arrival.

Bob Smisko, from physical plant, has worked on the table at least five times since its arrival.

Former Student Government Association President (S.G.A.), Joel Zazyczny described the circumstances surrounding the purchase of the pool table. Zazyczny said that during the summer of 1988 he had discussed the need for a new pool table with Rita Calicat, directorof student activities. He had hoped it would be in place before the start of the fall semester.

When Zazyczny returned to school he did not find a new pool table. He realized there were a lot of freshmen pool players, and the need for the new table was pressing.

As the semester progressed, the new pool table still did not arrive. Zazyczny and the S.G.A. executive board began to check out different tables. He then met with Dean of Students, Robert Bonfiglio and Calicat.

Bonfiglio gave his approval for the table, but Calicat did not, claiming the table was too extravagant for the game room because of the excessive vandalism on campus.

"By looking at tables, I was stepping on Rita's toes," Zazyczny said. "I wasn't supposed to do that.''

Around the beginning of December, Calicat ordered a table from a mail-order catalogue. The table that came, a Bronze King make, had to be shipped from Connecticut--unassembled. It was not made of real wood, was not regulation size and had no service guarantee.

According to Zazyczny, the students had selected a quality table for around the same price. That table was regulation size, from a local billiards distributor and came with a service warranty.

An employee of Royal Billiard & Recreation in Montgomeryville said that t_hestore sells a regulation-sized table made of wood, with accessories, delivery and installation included. Their tables come with a one-year service warranty and with a lifetime guarantee on the table itself--all for $1,795.

"When the students saw the rtew pool table, they were so disappointed and outraged," said Marco Sardi, treasurer of the pocket billiards club. ''They were told in an informal way that tne¡ administration didn't think they deserved any better."

Zazyczny said he feels the game room is essential to the commuters because they do not have rooms to return to, and they need some place to relax.

"I thought we should make the initial investment and buy a good table, so it wouldn't fall apart,'' Zazyczny said.

"They took the old table they had, which was an awesome table, and put it in Woodcrest where no one uses it," Becker

said. "Then they bought some cheap, cheesy, Fisher-Price table."

Sardi thinks the condition of the table is unfair to the members of pock~t billiards club and to the rest of the student body. The club has distributed diagrams to their members, pinpointing the curves on the surface of the table.

The pool team is going to be involved in cash-prize tournaments this year. Because the participants must pay an entrance fee and otherschoolswill be competing, the team decided to host the games at a nearby pool hall, rather than at Cabrini.

"We decided to do this for a few reasons," Sardi said. "Because the table is not regulation size, because we can use three tables at the same time at the . pool hall, and the participants have to pay ...because of the curves in the table, if we played at Cabrini, they'd pay to miss shots.''

In addition to the complaints about the pool table, many students claim the bumperpool table and knock-hockey table were also wastes of money. They would rather have had a new fooseball table or an air-hockey table.

"The knock-hockey, shuffleboard and bumper tables just take up space,'' Becker said. "They are just a place for books and jackets.''

Calicat explained the new program Student Services has instituted.

Charles Tucci, sophomore, and a staff of work study students act as caretakers for the gameroom. Theirjobistoclean and wax the tables, supply extra balls and perform general, overall cleaning of the game room.

Their purpose is to make the game room better and more organized.

According to Tucci, the monitors are working on a new lay-out for the games in order to better utilize the available space.

They are also considering running intramural tournaments in ping-pong and fooseball.

Calicat said the monitors are also trained to fix the broken games.

"Obviously, I care about the game room," Calicat said. "That is why there have been a lot of changes.''

Calicat said a continual concern of hers is damage and vandalism.

"People just don't take care of the games," she said. "There are sodas spilled, books, jackets and feet placed on the tables.

The new ping-pong ball dispenser was broken. Money has been stolen from video games and the studentsput their fists through new games."

However, Tucci said that there has.n't been any vandalism or theft yet this year.

"No video games have t,een broken, nb paddles destroyed and no pool balls have been taken away."

"There hasn't been any vandalism in there this year," Becker said. "The only 'vandal\sm' in there is the 'vandalism' they put in there ...also known as the shuffle board, knock-hockey and bumper-pool tables."

When told about student dissatisfaction, Bonfiglio said, "If those needs had gotten to me, I'd have done something about them. I want to be responsive to student interest.''

Bonfiglio said the ways to express the desire for changes is to tell S.G.A., Tucci and his student monitors, Student Services or th~y can come to him.

Despite the dissatisfaction, students are encouraged that Student Services is fixing up the game room. ''I like the game room because it supplies an alternative way to get out my frustrations of the day," Sardi said. "I' 11go in and shoot pool and I feel better because I have done something I enjoy."

A timetoreapanda.timeto-sow. Saturday and Sunday, October 28 and 29, Head Coach Reggie Day and the Lady Cavaliers sowed some new seeds in Cabrini tennis history by hosting the " I st Philadelphia Area Catholic Colleges Tennis Invitational."

Cabrini senior, Heather Schwarz, seeded No.1 in the tournament, reaped the championship by plowing-down her Neumann College oppo1ent, Rose DiMascio, 4-6, 6:>,6-4. DiMascio was the No.2 seed.

Tara Sarge, a Rosemont College freshman and No.4 seed, won the consolation round, 6-3, 7-5 over Mary Beth Kean, from Immaculata College.

It was a long match for Sarge.

"I couldn't get my first serves in," Sarge said.

"Maybe I got two in all day."

Tournament team finishes were: Cabrini- 7 pts., Rosemont College-41/2 pts., Immaculata College- 4 pts., Neumann College- 3 pts., and Chestnut Hill College- 1-1/2 pts. ''The tournament was a resounding success," Day said. Match balls and trophies

were contributed by Wayne Sponing Goods, and Prince Manufacturing provided tee-shins and other prizes. These '' contributions had a lot to do with its success.'' ''It was just nice that people who wanted

to come, came," Rosemont coach Ann Donaldson said.

Tournament play was laden with harp, fierce ball-hitting. Mental toughness for the tournament was as necessary as a racket.

After being down 4-1 in the third set, Schwarz pu,lled together to win. "I just said

to myself,'Heather, you've got to do it,"' Schwarz said. "I'm just so happy that I was able to win."

This "1st Philadelphia Catholic Colleges Tennis Invitational'' marked the last time Schwarz would swing a racket for the Lady Cavaliers.

Christina Pasa of Immaculata College, the tournament's No.3 seed, " enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the tournament." "It was fun," she said. ''There was a lot of talent here."

In the semi-finals, Pasa succumbed to Schwarz, 6-4, 6-2. "She's an excellent player," Pasa said. "I played the best that I've ever played."

The tournament provided several opportunities. Chestnut Hill coach, Mary Schwartz appreciated the "two out- of- three sets" format. "It is a much better test of ability," she said "It's also a good chance for the players to play someone who may have beaten them during the season." "We enjoyed getting together with the other teams," Schwartz said.

"It was really nice to be invited, because our kids don't get to play in many tournaments,'' Immaculata College coach Lynne Richen said.

For Neumann College, the Cabrini tournament was a closer alternative than the KAC (Keystone Athletic Conference) tournament, which was being held at Cedar Crest College.

Pass, set, spike. These are three skills thought of by volleyball players. These ideas apply to all teams, but it didn't have a great effect on Cabrini's team this year.

Having ended with a depressing 6 - 25 record this year, the players had other thoughts which weren't so depressing. ''Everyone on the team is very atheletic," said Debbie Malveaux, sophomore. "We worked well together as a team and think it will improve next year.

We all have a lot of potential, but I think we have to work harder as a team for next season."

Coming to a college and being a freshman playing on a sports team is difficult. One must learn to get along with others and learn "the way the team plays volleyball'', "My desired accomplishment was to learn how the team plays and to make friends," said Laurie MacAvoy, freshman.

"We worked pretty well together as a team, and in that sense, the season was successful.''

MacAvoy played on the starting team this year.

She is definitely looking forward to next year's season.

Along the lines of accomplishments, Ellen Battersby, sophomore, said that everyone improved since last year.

"Record wise, we didn't do well, but good things came out of the season,'' she said. "We had a few younger players on the team this year and the more they played, the more their confidence and potential levels grew for the upcoming year. Ifwecontinue to improve as ateam, we will have a good chance for next year."

There are different expectations and reasons for a winning season between the

freshmen and seniors. Being on the opposite end of the spectrum, senior captain Paula Phillips offered other insights.

"We didn't do as well as I expected us to do," she said. "In the beginning, we lost a lot of games and that brought our attitude, potential, and motivation levels down.

"It seemed as though towards the end of the season we clicked and got tougher - but then it was too late. Also, because of the loses in the beginning of the season, people weren't so psyched about the games ahead and their sub - conscious was asking why try?"

Phillips was really excited about the newcomers to the team. ''The freshmen and sophomores were great, but it was hard to explain to them exactly 'how to play' and who our rivarly was-going to be,'· she said. "Other then that, we worked well together and made new friends.''

Phillips went on to say that it was a hard and tough season for everyone. ''When we got down on ourselves out on the court, we only got more frustrated,'' she said. "Besides those facts, I had a great four years and just wish I could play one more game."

All in all, the players were very dedicated during the season. Instead of practicing at nights, they practiced in the mornings. Practices on non-game days were held from 6 to 8 a.m. and from 7 to 8 a.m. on game days.

As far as teamwork is considered, the year was a success. Two individual players that stood out, according to other players on the team, were Trish Payton and Kathleen Rowan. The team will be losing some good players, but with the remaining talent next year's season looks promising.
