Drug punishment:too lightor just right

by Angie Corbo There was a buzz in the air last spring as the words "Code of Conduct" were muttered around the cav1pus by the student leaders.

Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students, proposed that common norms was established on the campus. The intent was to have one document that students could refer to, Jive by and feel protected by.

After inquiries were made to other

colleges Bonfiglio introduced the idea of implementing a code of conduct on Cabrini's campus.

He asked for the assistance from his department, the student government association, and several other student representatives.

Together, they discussed the issues that they felt most affected the campus community.

The final draft was sent to the homes of all Cabrini students in

August. Resident assistants discussed the policy with their residents in September. The norms by which students were to live by were set on the stage.

September and early October ran relatively smooth. Resident life reportedly had fewer infractions across the board. Now that Woodcrest has became a dry dorm, very little alcohol was seen in the building.

director of resident life, said that his staff members were more conscious of documenting incidents through written reports. This has promoted a greater sense of clarity and open communication within the department.

Overall, Doyle has been pleased with his staff thus far this year.

Resident ,_..life was prepared to

handle the recent drug violation.

However the resident life staffs handling of the recent marijuana incident has raised questioning among members of the student body. Some said that they like the open discretion that is used for individual case, yet they were leery of the openess that the resident life department could use. Students, however, voiced a concern that the range of punishments were so broad that more or less of a sanction could be issued to a student depending on their rapport with the administration.

After the drug incident, Bonfiglio said,' 'the manner in which the incident unfolded was a testimony to the effectiveness of the resident life staff and the code of conduct."

Bonfiglio said that the code of conduct outlines the norms for behavior and provides examples of things that are inconsistent with the norms.

In the case where four women were charged with possession of marijuana, they violated the college's code under the pretense that they infringed upon the preservation of the environmental well being of themselves and others.

The.druJ~\ic_y{\lr,b.~ ~ the code by addressmg the drug

offense in a more specific manner.

Some students voiced the opinion that the sanction was too light for the women who committed a federal offense. They felt that the women were able to receive a "light" sanction because Cabrini• s policies were obscure in stating the ramifications for the infraction.

Bonfiglio said that all policies that the college has in the handbook are designed in a general sense in order to preserve the rights of students and to meet their needs in all individual cases. He said that it would be contradictory to implement a plan that was not designed to hear the individual rights of the students.

Thus, Bonfiglio is comfortable with the manner in which the college respo~ded to the drug inci-_ dent of three weeks ago. Assessing the situation, he felt the sanction was issued in a way that considered the best interest of women involved.

The women were disciplined for their violation of college policy, yet they were encouraged to use this situation as a learning experience. according to Bonfiglio. '·Based on what we know, the ~\AAUon w handled effectivel.y~~·and educationally.'' Bonfiglio said

Cabrini'srule is one of the toughestin the area

By Angie Corbo Although by law they are considered illegal substances, drugs are not foreign substances on college campuses. Much like Cabrini, most of the universities and colleges in the Philadelphia area have some type of policy that states how the institution will handle any type of situation involving or related to drugs.

Each institution reacts differently with sanctioning procedures in c,)rugrelated cases.

Size and location are among other significant factors that influence the college's or university's standing on the type of necessary disciplinary measures to issue when a drug violation occurs.

Cabrini College The drug policy as stated in the student handbook, page 66, reads, "the possession, sale, or use of illegal drugs as prescribed by commonwealth law, and the unauthorized sale of prescription and over the counter drugs are in violation of the college policy. Similiarly. the manufacture of drugs, and the possession or use of drug paraphernalia, are also violations of college policy.''

It is stated that the sanctions range from probation to suspension. No mention of fines is listed with the policy. An educational empahsis is placed on each incident.

LaSalle University ''Those willing to seek treatment on their free will will be granted more of a lenient sanction," said Nancy Brewer, assistant vice president for student affairs.

There are four basic sanctions that may be issued for a drug violation: conduct warning, probation, suspension, or dismissal. Each sanction permits additional "conditions" to be issued to the violators.

Conditions are made at the discretion of the college. They may involve programming, restitution, or getting a psychological assessment.

They are less punitive with marijuana than crack, cocaine or acid. However, the sale of any type of drug on campus is grounds for immediate dismissal.

At this university, having the smell of marijuana lingering on clothing merits a sanction, if two members of the resident life

benefit everyone The Student Code of Conduct' 'makes it possible for members of a diverse student body to live, interact and learn together in ways that protect both individual freedom and support institutional values.''

The semester midpoint is over and we are into the month of November.

It i_stime to assess the significance of the Student Code of Conduct.

Original drafts of the Code of Conduct were refurbished, made more specific. The polished version was placed in the handbook, sent to parents and students, and is into its second month of effect.

But is it really working?

Are students, who are actually supposed to benefit from this set of rules, taking the code seriously?

Is the quality of campus life benefitting from the code?

Do students and faculty alike fully understand the Code of Conduct?

There have been allegations made that the code has many ''loopholes'' and is unclear on some points.

Some unclear points, or "loopholes" specificalJy include Section A., "Honesty and Integrity."

One violation of this norm is "Cheating, plagiarism, abuse of library materials, computer abuse and other similarly unethical conduct.''

In a hypothetical situation, if a student is caught cheating, which is a violation, and the professor doesn't report it, this rule in the Code of Conduct is not being folJowed.

Another point which needs clarification is under Section E., ''Compliance with college authorities and other policies.'' One violation of this norm is ''Failure to comply with the written or verbal directions of duly authorized College personnel, including support staff and resident assistants.''

A hypothetical example of this would be the resident assistant's right to file an infraction report, after a resident has repeatedly been told not to have beer in the haJlway, which is a violation of the code. If the residenttalks back or refuses to cooperate, they are violating the code.

However, if the resident assistant doesn't file the report, and ignores the situation, they are not following the code, either.

The only way that the Code of Conduct will be effective is if violations are reported. If situations aren't reported, then nothing can be done. What is the point of having a code if no one abides by it, to the fulJest extent?

Except for some unclear parts of the code, people seem to be generally following its rules. Vandalism in the houses is significantly lower, as are alcohol violations in Woodcrest.

It is important to realize that this code was not put into effect to make life difficult, but it is based on trust, respect and concern; all essential parts which are the basis for community living.

kristin kroll photo editor As the doctors meticulously stitched the incision shut a feeling of relief swept over them. They had got it all, she would be okay. Eleven months later, however, she was again stretched out on the operating table awaiting their expertise work. They assumed it would be another routine operation, open her up, remove the concentrated area, stitch her incision closed and move her into the recovery room. They were wrong.

When they opened her, they knew that they hadn't gotten it all the last time. It was everywhere, the cancer had taken over her body.

She hadn't been told yet when we went to visit her in the hospital, nor had we. The doctors were waiting until she was in stable condition. I remember sitting across the room from her and noticing that something in her eyes was missing. They used to dance with vitality and now they were just a little less alive. At the time, I assumed it was due to the medication she was taking. Now I know that this was not the case. Even though she had not been officially told her operation was a failure I think she knew. She could sense it in the atmosphere.

It was a strange morning, one I'll never forget. When the doctor did tell her, she handled the news with a quiet sense of strength. She was cahn in her acceptance of the fact that her life would be ending in a slow and painful way.

I distinctly remember how different her reaction had been compared to those in the room. Everyone was grief stricken and overwhelmed with horror, yet she remained calm. When she spoke her voice was soothing and tranquil. She told her family that she had loved life and all that it had blessed her with. If she could do it over again she wouldn't change a thing. She was thankful for all that God had given her.

that most of us will never experience.

We are the lucky ones, the ones who have control over our lives. A retarded person is trapped inside of their head. They can't perform as they want to. A mentally inbalanced person doesn't understand why the world isn't as they see it. They think that their perceptions about life are correct and they have a difficult time living in a world that acts differently from how they think it should. A homeless person is oppressed.

Society has stripped them of everything.

How can they succeed when our system allows for these people to call a steam vent, home. They have problems, real problems.

When I compare my life to theirs I feel guilty for ever doubting how blessed I am.

That day in the hospital, years ago, changed my way of thinking. I learned the greatest lesson life has ever taught me. By watching and understanding her I gained

The only way to appreciate what you have is to experience life without it.

.

Years later, I still remember the sensation that ran through my body when she said this.

"How the hell," I thought, "can she be so positive when she has just found out that she is dying of cancer.

For the next year, I often thought about her and wondered if anything could break her of her appreciation of life. She did have her moments when she wanted it all to end, but she never let self pity overcome her.

Eventually I found the courage to ask her how she managed to remain positive about life whenfacedwithsuchacrisis. She told me that the only way to appreciate what you have is to experience life without it.

I often thought about what she said to me that day and wondered how I could go about learning to appreciate my life. I didn't want to actually give up the things in my life that I was grateful for so I began to explore another way of doing it.

Sometimes at night when I am alone, inside of my head I try to imagine what it would be like to be retarded or crazy or homeless. I try to put myself inside of their minds and think about what they might think. It's a scary feeling. It's a confused feeling. It's a feeling

Questions f ram the jester of the world

by Carlo Iacono

Bill Conlin, one ofmy journalistic idols, is a sports columnist who invented a fonn of prose where he could voice his thoughts (mostly gripes) about anything (mostly sports): He titles these monthly pieces "When I'm King of the World,'' and offers solutions to the problems he witnesses.

I've always been fond of this fonnat and have wished for a very same tool of my own. The only problem is that I often don't have solutions to the problems I observe.

It is much easier to stare at a wall and gripe than actually offer answers to those problems. Not to mention that griping is a lot more cleansing than actually punching the wall.

But, as I ponder aspects of my life on this cool fall evening, If eel compelled to communicate my observations. The venue I'll use will not be in the fonnat of "King of the World." The reasons I won't are out of respect to my idol (not to mention I'd get sued for plagiarizing his format), and as I stated before, I don't know the an-

swers.

Thus, my format will sort of be "The Jester of the World Questions.' ' The following are aspects from all areas of my brain. They are meant for you to draw parallels and, in the words of Arsenio Hall, say "huumm."

It has been rather amusing watching our elected officals balance a budget. But what doesn't make it so funny is that it is our money.

Congress seems more interested in the ethics of each other

A night of formal follies

by Kelly Ann Williams Once in a while, I believe that everyone reflects upon the things in their past that have made them both red in the face and totally hysterical. The upcoming fall formal brings to mind one of those times that myself and two other Cabrini students will never forget.

In the midst of getting ready in the spacious abodes that W oodcrest provided, shouts·of, "Are we really going?" "Where's my dress?" and "Pass me a beer!" could be heard echoing down the concrete hallways which we affectionately called "home."

Some say getting ready is half the fun.

Obviously, those people who feel that way have never lived in Woodcrest. But, despite the slimy showers, the overcrowded rooms, and the cell block atmosphere, we were ready! · A fortress of hair, were we. Neither rain, nor snow, nor blustering wind could move our ''do' s' ' that we had labored on for over two hours.

What a picture we made. The three of us 1 lstood, all wearing black dresses, spiked heels and rhinestone earrings, ready to have the time of our lives.

I must admit, the dance was truly impressive. Although the Sheraton will not let Cabrini ever hold another function there, I have a strong feeling that they really liked us.

We danced, we sang, we laughed and then we left. It was great, but it was over.

So, now what? Well, since over 90 percent of our friends who had gotten rooms at the Sheraton had gotten thrown out (those hotel employees really do not have a sense of humor when it comes to noise, people, madcapped pranks and beer), and we had already been caught trying to sneak into the hotel's dance club (what a bunch of killjoys), there was really no point in staying.

Bored, bored, bored, were we. The night was young. What to do, what to do?

Thankfully, one of my friends remembered the old saying, "When in doubt, EAT!" Entering Denny's, we were on top of the world. That is, until our wonderful waitress said, "You girls look lovely, what prom are you coming from?" Prom?! That's it, her tip was doomed right then a11dthere!

"We happen to be coming back from Cabrini's fall formal," I said haughtily.

"Cabrini, what's that?" she asked, puzzled.

"A college," ·1 said. "A fonn of higher education. Perhaps you've heard of one?"

She seemed annoyed as she took our order.

But her mood did not spoil our mood and she even got a tip (one dollar confined under the rim of an overturned water glass that happened to be full).

You should have seen the look on her face! Especially, when the gratuity was accompanied with a note signed, '' Love, the prom party trio."

Upon leaving this fine dining establishment, we were met with stares from other customers. , One, in particular, we will never forget.

There he stood, 6-foot-2, blond, and incredibly good looking.

This was when I decided that my friends and myself should become acquainted with this fine young gentleman.

As I walked over to him, my friends followed, questioning me of my sanity.

"Don't worry about it," I said. "I'm just going to ask him for the time." Somehow, I don't think they fully believed me. "Hi, my name is Kelly and these are my friends. I was wondering if you have a girlfriend and oh, by the way, what time is it?''

"Hi, I'm Tony. No, I don't have a girlfriend nor do I want one. I don't like girls.

And, it's two thirty."

Talk about being red in the face!

Embarassed, l opened the doors to Denny's and left. My friends yelled after me to come back. That's when I realized that I was the one holding the check. When I reentered the building, not only did I have to face Tony, but I had to face a not-so-pleasant cashier and a room full oflaughing customers. The only thing that I could do to regain my dignity was to "play it off."

"Guys, come on. Didyoupaythecheck?

Oh, I have it. Well, wouldn't you know."

Nobody seemed to believe me so I left Denny's with my friends for the last time that night.

After that night, my friends said things like, "Talk about a night to remember," and ''Too bad no one would believe us if we ever told them this story."

Well, the truth is out! I hope that the parties involved aren't embarassed; Besides, I'm sure this year's formal will far surpass the happenings of last year. I certainly hope so!

civilization.

In no other profession do you succumb to the dregs of society's wishes or be so polite for such a minimal cash return. And as far as satisfaction, service jobs rank right up there with flossing.

I have deep admiration for those who work with the public everday and do so with the utmost in politeness. They are the unsung movers of our society and without them the wheels wouldn't tum. I work in a hobby shop so the question I get are mildly irratating at the most. Those questions run along the lines of: ''Is there gum in these baseball

card packs?'' I can only imagine the dumb questions other retailers encounter on a daily basis.

*Speaking of dumb questions, I think fhave one. Why is there a mass exodus on weekends at Cabrini this year?

This trend seems more prevalent this year. The culprits know who they are. They are the ones with determination on their face, speed in their vehicle, '' I brake for nobody" sticker on their bumper, and their turnpike change already counted out.

Now if students, like myself, have legitimate reasons to leave for work or have long range plans, that is understandable. But I always make an effort to get back on campus to participate in the real college learning process of the weekend, if you know what I mean.

If students are going home only to "hang-out,'~ why not "hang-out" at Cabrini?

Would ittake ten dancing males in G-strings to keep some Woodcrest residents here on a weekend?

Previousresidentsleave problemsfor present

by Christina Roach After complaints to the resident life office and dean of students and a visit from the health inspector and fire marshal, the carpeting in House 1 was replaced due to the strong odor of urine in the carpets, left by the previous residents. '' Last year we gave John Doy le a list of all the things wrong with the house,'' said Kory Lyn Menn, junior. ''They said they spent $1,400 to renovate the house over the summer, but it looked like they hadn't touched the place.''

According to John Doyle, directorofresident life, they re-carpeted the lobby and hallway over the summer. They made repairs to the building and painted it, mostly because of the extensive damage caused by the male residents who lived there last year.

Doyle said they hired an independent contractor to shampoo the rugs. And they asked the house-keeping department to air-freshen the building because of the consistent mildew problem.

Resident life and physical plant thought the house was ready to be occupied. '' I walked through the house and I did not smell anything," Doyle said. "I have a feeling I didn't smell anything because of the fresh paint fumes.''

It wasn't until the women moved in that they realized there was a serious problem. '' No one told me the men had urinated on the floor or kept animals in there, possibly slaughtering them," Doy le said.

"The rugs smelled of urine," said Jeannine Lacovara, junior. "We couldn't walk

~---,.,-~

around the house in bare feet. It was gummy and sticky--like walking on a floor with hair spray on it. The rugs had not been shampooed.''

After repeated complaints to Doyle, he and Dean of Students Robert Bonfiglio went to inspect the house. ''Bob looked shocked by the condition of the rugs," Lacovara said.

Bonfiglio said, "The transformation from a male to a female residency resulted in some special transitional projects.

They were identified, but not addressed in as timely a way as they could have been.''

When their efforts with Doyle seemed to be taking too long, they went to see President Sister Eileen Currie, M.S.C. The women said they repeatedly called her with no response. One day they went to the president's office in the Mansion to see Currie, but were unsuccessful in procuring a meeting.

"All we wanted her to do was to walk through the house, just so she could see how we were living,'' said Kathy Brennan, senior. "But she didn't."

Lacovara said, "If she [Sr. Currie] were currently a 20-year-old woman, would she live in conditions like this? This wasn't our summer house, it's not like we could just leave. We are here for nine months. For the tuition we pay, it wasn't our money's worth."

As the weeks progressed, the women said life in the house became more unbearable.

"We were at the point where we 1d wake up with sore throats," Brennan said. "All because of the smell and bacteria in the house."

Sophomore, Barbara Burpolis said she was breaking out in hives for the same reasons.

Lacovara said her parents felt the only way to get anything done in the house was to get outside help. Therefore, her mother called the Radnor Township fire marshal.

On Oct. 3, Bernard J Quinn, Jr., the fire marshal and Agnes Heim, the health officer of Radnor Township came to inspect House

1.

According to Mike Caranfa, chief physical plant officer, it is not unusual to have inspectors of this kind on campus. Physical plant was willing to cooperate and act upon any recommendations the inspectors gave. ''Heim was only there for about 10 to 15 minutes," Caranfa said. "She pointed out a few spots in the carpets needing replacement. We told her we were doing that. We weren't actually required to replace all of the carpet. She then told the girls the carpets would be replaced, but they could not expect it overnight. She also noted mildew on the walls in the basement. ''For the most part the fire marshal just told us what he'd like us to do, rather than making it mandatory."

Quinn said the main complaint of Lacovara' s · mG>ther was "flickering lights."

Quinn reported that was due to an overload on the circuits, on the women's part. He said it was a normal thing to happen when there are so many draws on the circuits. They were tripping the circuit breaker because that is the built in protection system of a circuit breaker in order to prevent the wires from over heating.

Many of the violations cited by Quinn actually were the fault of the women in House 1. Those violations included trash in the hallways, the ironing board in the hallway, lint not being cleaned from the clothes dryers, fire doors propped open, fire exits blocked and trash in the basement.

Physical plant said they immediately acted upon the recommendations of the fire marshal, such as adding exit signs over the

doors. And they had replaced the carpets in the worst rooms before the health inspector's report even came back. They said they will replace the rest of the rugs over Christmas break.

Although none of the violations noted are serious enough to close a house, Quinn said he will return for reinspection. If, at that time, he finds the same things wrong, he could issue citations and fine the college up to $1,000 a day.

"We are here to make everyone happy," Caranfa said. '' As soon as we realized that shampooing hadn't worked, we began to work on the problem. We began work as soon as the quotes from contractors came in.tt Doyle said that although the women got what they wanted, resident life would have had the new carpets installed anyway. He said. he too, wished the job could have been completed faster. '' It is a hassle for us when something is taken out of our hands," he said. · 'It puts us in a bad position where we can make our own decisions. Since most of the violations reflected on the women, it ultimately puts a lot of pressure on us to be jerks about stuff like trash."

Bonfiglio said he empathized with the frustrated parents. ..There are appropriate channels set up on this campus to resolve problems,'' he said. ''Obviously, the method chosen was not the only option. Everyone on campus should try to utilize those channels to address concerns."

Lacovara said they got what they wanted, new carpets and a clean dorm. ''They could have just replaced four rugs, now they have to do the whole house,'' she said. "Now I wonder if I do something wrong, or if I complain about something will they call me a troublemaker?"

Brennan said, "Of course we think they will be watching us closely now, especiaUy forpartiesandstuff. But,I feel we got things done. I think we accomplished a lot. It is not too much to want to live like human beings.Is it?"

Campusleft in the dark /

by Pamela Stempleski The raised awareness concerning safety measures and procedures on campus has increased concerns over lighting and questions as to whether or not it is adequate.

Partof the concern for the overall safety on campus is that the lighting may be inadequate in certain specific locations.

Some of these places are: -- The paths behind the library leading to the houses.

-- Residential Boulevard.

-- The road from the Mansion to Counsel Hall.

-- The chapel stairs.

-- The entrances from Eagle, King of Prussia, and Upper Gulph Roads.

Hillary Hoch, senior and resident of House Five feels that the inadequate lighting on campus is unsafe and unacceptable. ''Why do the lights blink on and off when you walk past? Why is Xavier's front lot always dark?" said Hoch, "How about that lovely Residential Blvd? God, I feel safe when I come home from class at night," Hoch added ironically. She also stated that she thinks it's sad that the school feels it's better to save money than to save lives.

Chief Officer of Physica Plant, Michael Caranfa, explained that the reason certain lights tum on and off is because of the type of system that they are. The lights are called photocells and when they start to get old, the system reads false senses and as the fixture

gets hot, the system senses that there is light and turns off. After several minutes, it cools down, and the light goes on again. Caranfa said that when these lights start to go bad, they are replaced.

"We are always in the process of adding lighting fixtures and fixing old ones. We have recently added lights to Houses Five and Six and are installing one near House Seven," Caranfa said.

Caranfa also said that he has been trying to upgrade the high pressure sodium fixtures that make up the street lights for four years, but it has never been approved in the annual budget.

As for the concern areas around campus, Caranfa said that he and physical plant have cut back trees that blocked the street lights around the chapel, and that they lost four street lights near Grace hall due to the construction work.

"We're waiting for the contractor to be done to see what they're doing as far as lighting is concerned. We don't want to overlap what the contractors will be doing,'' Caranfa said.

Caranfa blames a breakdown in communications for the delay in lighting maintenance. "Security would be the normal channel for us finding out what lights need to be fixed and when. They do, but it's inconsistent," Caranfa said.

The final step would be to go through the appeals process in front of a tenured faculty member.

Dealers will be expelled.

Use of cocaine or any•"hard" drug will merit suspension. While stude~ts are away from the college, they will be required to receive treatment. After treatment sessions are attended, the student may appeal to be re-admitted.

The counseling staff in the Drug and Alcohol Program try to take a healing approach when assisting students understand the dangers behind substance abuse, Janis Janodik, drug and alcohol program director, said.

University of Pennsylvania After the resident life or student life departments report an incident involving drugs, the case is channeled to Connie Goodman, judical inquiry officer. No specific policy exists concerning drug abuse, however, a general procedure is followed when a case concerning drugs is reported.

Goodman notifies the students of the charges placed against them, and asks that the student set up a time to meet with her within seven days. The student may select a faculty adviser to represent them as the charges are read to the student in front of a panel of representatives. Guilt or innocence is decided after this hearing.

Unlike the other institutions interviewed, Temple has campus police officers, in addition to their security department. In the event that a student possessed a significant amount of drugs, or if the student seemingly appeared to involved with the sale of drugs, the campus police would handle the case. There have been reported cases on campus where the campus police were called upon.

In a case of less severity, the individual halls are able to monitor their own sanctioning proceedures, or the University Discipline Code Board may handle situations involving abusive substances.

First offenses for the less severe cases my involve a probation or a suspensded sentence, possible fine and educational programming, according to James Fitzsimmons, associate dean of students.

Widener University The policy reinstates the federal law, " possesison or selling of illegal drugs is a federal offense." The university offers their cooperation with the law by providing the necessary information pertaining to a drug related case. according to Deborah Kearney.

Possession or use of nonperscription drugs or the possession of drugs related paraphernalia may serve as grounds for dismissal.

Rosemont College In an all female institution, the use of drugs is not as common as a problem, according to the Rosemont dean of students. She feels that the women on her campus are less abusive of drugs than they are alcohol. "It (drugs) is not a

major problem, in fact they are hardly a minor problem,'' she said.

Rosemont complies with the federal law, as all the of the mentioned institutions do. They, however, do not have an established policy of their own. In the case of a drug related incident, students would be refered to counseling, through the consulting psychologist. The accused would be asked to contact her family immediately in the situation in the case of "hard" drugs.

The objective behind the related sanctions is that the process is educational for those involved.

Eastern College Eastern College also comments that they have not established a specific drug policy.

Their emphasis is placed on the need individuals involved with the infraction. There is not set response for a drug related violation.

Selling drugs, however, could get a student terminated from the college.

Within our immediate area, college officials deal with similar situations with a multitude of differences.

College officials recognize the fact that students may chose to experiment with potentially dangerous elements in their college years. Most colleges, nonetheless, wish to promote the growth of their students while preserving the well being of the college community.

The policies in which the institutions have implemented to the coUegecurriculum are intended to preserve the college community and to preserve the rights of the students as well.

rather than merely complain about them, Caranfa said that they would be fixed much quicker.

Randi Schweriner, resident manager of Woodcrest is usually on duty three evenings per week. She stated that if she was a resident assistant in a house she would be very nervous. "There's been plenty of times when I've been on rounds near the houses and have seen people that I don't recognize walking around. Anyone could walk onto this campus, and there's lots of places to hide in these bushes. The poor lighting by the houses doesn't help the situation,'' Schweriner said.

Another concern of Schweriner' s is the entrances from King of Prussia and Eagle Roads. She feels that neither of these entrances are lit very well and that the King of Prussia entrance (by the Gatehouse) is "an accident waiting to happen." The reasons for this are that the lighting is poor and people do not obey the one way sign.

The concern about the entrance from Eagle road is that the speed bump is not marked, nor is it properly lit, which is a danger to drivers who are not familiar with the road.

Just how adequate is the lighting on campus? A late-night tour found this: -- One light from Xavier to House One. -- Eight lights on all of Residential Boulevard.

-- One light from House Six to the end of Residrntial Boulevard.

-- Eight lights from the Gatehouse to Xavier (two of which were not working).

-- Seven lights from Counsel Hall to Upper Gulph Rd. -- Four lights from the Mansion to Counsel.

-- One light at the front of the chapel.

Questions have been raised as to why administration doesn't seem to feel that lighting is a priority on campus. ''I'm furious that they can put new rugs in the mansion before they look into better security measures," stated a concerned junior.

Bob Bonfiglio, dean of students, says that since concerns were raised during the orientation sessions held over the past summer, the lights that were not working have been fixed. ''Noone has come to me, but if they did, we'd do something about it," Bonfiglio said.

He stated that if there are specific concerns, requests should be made officially and through the proper channels. "It's not often that I would get involved in maintenance requests,'' Bonfigilio said. He recommended that problems could be rectified more rapidly if they were approached in the right way.

by Denise Edwards The graduating cadets of 1835 at the United States Military Academy at West Point decided the members of their class should all share a common symbol of their graduation and their years together at the Academy. After studying several possibilities, they decided on a ring. Their decision marked the beginning of an American tradition, the college ring.

Many students on campus are contemplating the idea of whether or not this is the right time for them to purchase a class ring.

Joe Stelacio, junior, decided to purchase his class ring this year.

"A college ring is something tangible that brings back many memories when you look at it.

It's those memories that make the ring so valuable." __. - Hillary Hoch senior "I decided to get it this year for two reasons," Stelacio said. "Junior year is when I got my high school ring and I also felt it symbolized that I was almost there.''

Heather Corlett, senior, purchased her college ring when she was a sophomore. '' I knew my major would not change and it would be the last class ring I would ever purchase," Corlett said. "I'm glad I got it then. It's been nice to have it over the past three years.''

Christine Lampazzi, senior, just ordered her ring when the Jostens representative was on campus in October. '' I got it now because I wanted something that reminded me of Cabrini," Lampazzi said. "It was a way to show to myself that I made it."

Mark Gudas, sophomore, has-decided to wait until next year to purchase his college ring .

"It will symbolize to me that I'm almost there," Gudas said. "It will remind me of all that I've accomplished and what I'm working towards."

Trish Payton, senior, has decided not to purchase a college ring.

"There are otherthingsl'dliketospend my money on," Payton said. "I have a lot of memories about Cabrini but I don't think I need a ring to remind me of them."

There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a class ring. What style: traditional, contemporary, or signet? What color stone? What color gold in either 10 karat, 14 karat, 18 karat? And how much to spend on something that will last a lifetime?

Stelicio decided to purchase a ring that was. nothing like his high school ring. ''I ordered a 14 karat gold ring with a diamond on top,'' Stelcio said. ''Since I was paying for it myself I decided to go all out. I could afford the nicer things in life on own."

Hillary Hoch, senior, loves her college ring. ''I never wore my high school ring. It just sat in my jewelry box," Hoch said. "When I got my college ring last year I picked out the stone color I liked and college has also meant more to me than high school."

Lampazzi believes most people purchase rings that are not traditional.

"College women seem to prefer the smaller more dainty rings," she said.

Class rings hold many memories for people and that's what makes them a popular purchase.

Stelacio treasures his high school ring. ''My grandmother left money in her will for me to buy my high school ring," Stelacio said. "Every time I look at it it is a remembrance of her and all the fun I had in high school.''

Stelacio's college ring will bring to him totally different memories.

An autumnday at an orchardis morethan just apples

by Meghan M. Flannery

Instead of wasting that beautiful weekend afternoon, spending all your free time sleeping all day, or - worse yet - studying, go to Linvilla Orchards in Media. It offers the perfect solution to the November blahs.

On a bright, crisp autumn day, visiting a pumpkin farm and apple orchard is an enjoyable experience.

Start by rounding up as many of your friends as you can find. Granted, tearing them ¡away from the havens of their crumpled beds will not be easy. Your efforts, however, will be well rewarded.

You'll know you've reached Linvilla Orchards when you see all the cars crammed on the grassy slopes. Don't worry, though, there always seems to be room for one more.

Families tailgat in the parking lot. In fact, the entire atmosphere is not unlike one great, big family picnic. Small children run shrieking down the lawns, chasing one another. They are yet untouched by the everyday pressures we as adults must face.

Just for today, you can relive that innocence and freedom once again.

Hoch brought up some other interesting points about why some may purchase a college ring. " It's a nice touch because Cabrini is a small school," Hoch said. "People who identify more with the school are also more likely to purchase one."

Mark Gudas, sophomore believes it has to do with the person's attitude about school. ''The people who are just here taking up space and all they do is party are less likely to purchase a ring than the person who does well and tries hard," he said.

Hoch summed it up best. '' A college ring is something tangible that brings back many memories when you look at it," she said. "It's those memories that make the ring so valuable.''

He was under the impression that he was only being auditioned for a minor role, so he was obviously surprised when LaPamom bara offered him the role of Peder.

The role Hodlofski accepted is unique because he must play dual roles of a white bear and a man named, Peder. LaPalombara selected Hodlofski because of the performances he had done in class.

Responsibilities from 1 student body focus on cultural diversity and racial equality."

During the racial tension last semester, Cali cat described a "certain empathy" she had being a black woman herself, and for those "under.the shock of prejudice."

This year's president of SGA, Angela Corbo, said Calicat and she have a good rapport, while some areas still need to be made stronger.

Corbo meets with Calicat twice a week. Corbo describes the meetings as, "I'm reporting to my direct supervisor in a very business-oriented atmosphere." ''The pie isnotcutevenly,''Corbosaid in reference to Calicat's responsibilities. Corbo suggested perhaps Calicat felt SGA is more experienced and is able to work more independently. Corbo still wished to have seen more encouragement. ''The younger officers,'' Corbo said, '' need more of a mentor."

"I make no apologies for my availability. I'm here," Calicat responded. "I'm available as a resource, but the students must take the initiative. I have a lot of confidence in the students I've worked with before. I want this to be a learning experience."

Corbo felt Calicat needs to recharge herself. ''To be Student Activities Director, you need to be energetic so that the students can say 'I want to be like that.' You need to have the Cabrini Spirit so that students can look to her example and bring it back to the students they touch.''

• "Last semester dented that sense of Cabrini spirit," Corbo said. "Rita's been hurt by the community which hurts her willingness to give. Little things fall through the cracks because the contact isn't there."

Corbo cited one incident this fall involving a scheduled horseback riding trip as an example. Corbo felt confident that all • arrangements had been taken care of under Cali cat's supervision. When Cali cat failed to leave the set of directions to the Valley Forge Park, Corbo called the park's information center. Corbo was informed that horses in the park were not available. The group could not participate in the promised activity.

Calicat responded that horseback riding was an SGA run event. She provided information gathered from summer contacts, which was believed to be accurate, but made no reservations. '' I should be able to accept her word when my moderator has said it is taken care of," Corbo said.

Corbo was also very disappointed with the thank-you luncheon for SGA that was never held at the end of the spring semester.

"The ceremony is totally her office's responsibility," Corbo said. "It is herthanks to SGA." The executive board, club of the year and moderator of the year never received their awards, and may not even be aware that they won them.

Many people who have graduated will never receive their award.

"In the midst of closing, it was one of those things that just didn't happen,'' Calicat responded. '' I was never given a full list from SGA on the selected awards." By the time Calicat received the information she said there was not enough time to plan the banquet.

At least one other club has added complaints. Marco Sardi, treasurer of the pocket billiards club, said that Calicat does have priorities, but she over-extends herself. Sardi

Class officers resolve communicationconflicts

by William A. Fulton

·After progressing slowly on scheduled activities during the early weeks of the semester, the junior class officers of the Student Government Association (S.G.A.) have taken measures to ensure that future activities proceed in a more efficient manner for the remainder of the school year.

The junior class, in conjunction with the senior class, has named its major project for the semester as the annual fall formal. This year there were delays in locating a facility willing to accommodate the annual event. ''There was a problem this semester in terms of finding a place suitable for the formal which at the same ti me was willing to hold a college function,'' said Rita Calli cat, director of student activities.

With this delay came concerns that the junior class officers were falling behind in the passing along of information of the formal to the rest of the class. ''There was an early Jack of communication within the class,'· said Annamarie Mims, corresponding secretary of S.G.A. What made matters even more difficult was the fact that most of the officers were relatively new to their positions. Previous class president, Dana Lepis, assumed new responsibilities as a member of the S.G.A. executive board. Elected in her place was Chris Renzulli, who is currently the president of the junior class.

"The new officers had a lotto take care of at the beginning of the semester,•' Mims. said. "Not only did they have to figure out what to do about the formal, they also had to straighten out some matters concerning the class treasury. What they had to do was transfer the books over from last year. That in itself took up a good bit of time."

Despite undertaking a great deal at the beginning of the semester, Callicat believes the junior class officers have held up well.

"Anytime yoll have new officers it takes some time for them to get a good handle on things," Callicat said. "I think on a whole that this new group of leaders hasn't progressed any slowerthan any othernew group of leaders.• '

Even though his first semester has been a hectic -one, Renzulli can still see progress.

"Things have improved greatly," Renzulli said. "The officers are really trying hard to improve communication and reach more compromises on conflicts of opinion between each other."

Other steps are being taken in order to prevent any further lack of communication among the class. These steps include cl.ass meetings held on Sundays and the usual biweekly meetings heldevery Tuesday and Thursday in the S.G.A. offices, which are located on the bottom floor of the Widener center across from the Wig-Warn.

S.G.A. also intends to make a conscious effort to get in touch with as much of ~he student body as possible. This is in part a response to some students concern about S.G.A not being visible or active enough as they should be.

"We can't spoon feed the student body," said Mims. "Students have to get involved if they want to see something get done. We do the best we can but without the students input it only gets us so far."

Junior class president Renzulli looks forward to getting in touch with members of his class.

"The junior class is very diverse," Renzulli said. "I thinkit's agreatchallenge for me to try and find out how they want S.G.A to help them."

S.G.A. feels that there is an opportunity for students to be both informed and involved in campus affairs.

"There are posters and flyers posted all around the school telling people about upcoming events,'' Mims said. '' Anybody is welcome to attend any of the meetings.

Even if they can't attend the meetings, the minutes of the meetings are always posted on our office door. So there shouldn't be any reason why someone shouldn't be informed."

As far as Rita Callicat is concerned S.G.A is in capable hands.

"I think you will find that in S.G.A. you have a strong core of leaders,'' Calicat said. ''That is evident by the amount of work they do."

in consultation withZazycyny. "We made the best possible decision at the time regarding the amount of play it gets and the area it is in."

"She's made so many mistakes," Sardi said, "that she didn't do well for the game room in general." Both problems, however, are being resolved at this time.

Conflicts in other departments have also been noted.

Director of the theater, Susan LaPalombara criticized the "unfortunate rescheduling of the Fall Fonnal" to conflict with the opening night of the children's theater production. LaPalombara moved the opening to 7:00 p.m.

"Rita claims she was not aware of the conflict," LaPalombara said. "I found that difficultto believe since the arts and events flier has been advertising it since last spring. To me, it is a logical thing to check ifother activities have been scheduled.''

Calicat attributes the confusion to LaPalombara's unfamiliarity to the process of scheduling events. "An activities form was never filled out, so the show wasn't on my reservation calendar," Calicatsaid. "I should have been more aware."

"The way in which she dealt with the situation was inappropriate and insensitive to the actors," LaPalombara said. LaPalombara was worried that the decision would encourage those with smaller parts to drop out because of the hassle.

More importantly, LaPalombara was disappointed for the actors and members of the technical staff because it would inconvenience family and friends who would like to share in their opening night. Calicat discussed the possibility of providing concession tickets for those involved, but LaPalombara has not been contacted witlia follow-up to the suggestion.

Bonfiglio maintains that, "We in Student Services are always trying to maximize the students' experience. By our nature as a group, it is evident we are interested in growing and improving."

Reflecting on her time as a student and now as an administrator Calicat said, "Cabrini is more than a place where I work. We have a long history that is close to my heart."

listed Calicat's acquisition of a poor quality table and her loss of the club's only copy of the rules and regulations for tournament play as factors that have hindered the club's performance.

Calicat responded, "I'm not a pool shark." She said that the decision was made

Radnoradoptsnew speedtimingdevices

by Frank Emmerich Radnor Township Police Department has replaced its old system of monitoring motor vehicle speeds, using two cables, with a new system which implements the use of two infared beams.

Systems Innovation Incorporated in Holmestead, Pa. developed and is now manufacturing the infrared system. By placing two three-foot units on the shoulder of the road and matching their infared beams, police can monitor vehicle speeds without being limited by weather conditions.

The old ESP system used-two electrical cables placed six feet apart, and a motor vehicle's speed was calculated from the time elasped between a car's contact with the first cable and the second cable. Since the cables had to be taped down using a special adhesive, the cables could not be secured in damp or rainy weather.

Although the infrared system also measures elapsed time it does not require any actual contact with the road surface, so its use is not limited.

Officer Crawford of Radnor Township Police Department Traffic Division said, "The advantage of TK 100 is that it is effective in inclement weather-- damp, cold, or fog."

According to Crawford, the manufacturer only recommends that TK 100 should not be used in high humidity weather because of its electrical circuitry.

Another advantage of the system, according to Crawford, is that it is easier to set-up and the officers do not have to worry about getting hit or stopping traffic as they put the system on line.

The Police Department reports that the tax payers like the $1800 investment.

Crawford believes that the community likes the system because it is their money at work.

He said that TK 100 can monitor a speed in 1/10 of a second with more accuracy than any other device on the market. The new system is approved .by Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and is calibrated on a bi-monthly basis by a PennDOT approved center. The officers who are responsible for the operation ofTK 100 must be qualified and certified by the Commonwealth.

Although Radnor Township signs read, "speed electrically timed" and TK 100 has

been defined by the courts as an electricalmechanical device, there is no legal obligation by the township to post warnings to alert motorists to the police department's use of TK 100 to detect speed violators.

The police force decided to purchase the new- system, according to Crawford, not to make money, but to cut down on speeding complaints.

The Traffic Division does not generally use TK 100 on main streets in the township such as Lancaster Avenue. Rural roads are the target ofTK 100. Crawford said in most cases the force uses selective enforcement in which streets are chosen by resident complaints.

Typical targeted streets are: Iven A venue, Radnor Chester Road, Bryn Mawr A venue, Darby-Paoli Road, and Radnor Street Road.

The traffic division usually operates TK 100 about four hours a day. An average of 10 or 12 speed violations are reported each operating day.

Municipalities that allow the use of TK 100 must adopt an ordinance or resolution authorizing the use of an approved speed timing device and must post notice of enforcement of speed restrictions through the use of such a device prior to using such an enforcement device.

The Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles has restrictions regarding the use of speed timing devices and their use with local municipalities' police departments.

According to PAC.S.A. number 3368: the rate of speed of any vehicle may be timed on any highway by a police officer using a mechanical or electrical speed timing devices which measures elapsed time between measured road surface points by using two sensors and that electronic devices such as radio-microwave devices (commonly referred to as electronic speed meters or radar) may be used only by members of the Pennsylvania State Police.

The same statue states that, "no person may be convicted upon evidence obtained through the use of such devices unless the speed recorded is six or more miles per hour in excess of the legal speed limit only in speeding zones of 55mph.

However, in areas where the legal speed limit is less than 55 miles per hour, no person may be convicted if the speed is recorded less than ten miles per hour in excess of the legal speed limit."

Straight from Monaco's Mouth When do they play the Redskins again?

* "Here's ... " Lucky Lou's NFL Picks of the Week #10

lou monaco sports editor

From the mountains of Colorado to the streets of New York City, from the dirt oval in Florida to the parque-floor of Boston, this past weekend was a sports fan's dream.

Here are the highlights:

...

* "They did it for Sal!" -That's what I kept saying when #2 Colorado beat #3 Nebraska, 27-21, in front of fans that haven't had anything to cheer about since going 9-0 in 1923.

They dedicated their season to their former quarterback, Sal Aunese, who died of stomach cancer earlier this year.

Folks, this team is FOR REAL! Their faith, courage and just pure guts, will always be remembered during their fine 1989-90 season. They all have heart and after watching Saturday's game, you can't help but root for this team.

It looks like the Buffaloes of Colorado will be going to the Orange Bowl to play against #1 Notre Dame.

It's a dream matchup: the best team in the nation versus the Cinderella team.

Who will come out on top?

I hope Notre Dame but if Colorado should win, they deserve all the credit in the world.

What a game this is going to be!

路Eagles over Redskins After that lackluster and goofy performance in San Diego against the Chargers, Randall and the Boys will definitely be up for this one. Look for an Eagles victory with ease, to please the hometown fanatics.

* "Down the stretch, they come ... " -Sunday Silence "silenced" the critics and beat Easy Goer to win the Breeder's Cup Classic on Saturday and laid claim to the 1989 Horse of the Year.

Ah, the grace and swiftness of a horse coming down the stretch, inching closer and closer to the finish line. There's nothing like it in the world. It's a must-see!

Packers over Lions The Pack is Back! Big win over the Bears last week, puts them right in the hunt for the Central Division title. Detroit played tough last week against Houston.

This is a tough game to figure, although, Green Bay should prevail in a close one.

* "Stops, pops and drops ... " -NBA basketball is back!

Jordan keeps scoring, the Lakers have one loss already and that animal up in Boston, named Larry, is making Red Auerbach smile.

Browns over Seahawks The Browns are playing some tough ball now and Bernie Kosar is playing up to his potential. The Seahawks are not what they once were!

Browns in a laugher on the road.

-Yes, 23,000 marathoners ran across the five boroughs of New York City on Sunday during the 20th anniversary of the New York Marathon.

Another must-see! All of those runners going across the Veranzano-Narrows Bridge.

What a sight!

Rams over Giants (Upset Pick) A must-must-must win for the L.A. Lost a tough one to Vikings last week. Will definitely be hungry at home.

Giants, although 8-1, still do not impress me.

Rams in a close one and Eagles fans will breathe a sigh of relief!

* "It's about time ... " -The Cowboys won one! Congratulations to Matt, Trip, Kelly and Tyrone.

Oilers over Bengals Boomer busted last week against the Raiders. Houston playing at home is always

* "23,000 ... "

\

tough for opponents. Look for the Oilers to slick down the Bengals. * ''Commitment to Excellence'' -Those Raiders are playing awesome under Art Shell. They should be 4-0 under him, if it wasn't for Philadelphia. The silver and black might be back and with Bo leading the way, they should definitely know about wins. * "Goal!"

-The United States Olympic Soccer team tied El Salvador, 0-0, Sunday and failed to qualify for the World Cup. It now needs to beat Trinidad, at Trinidad, in order to qualify for the Cup for the first time since 1950.

USA!USA!USA!USA!USA! * "Congratulations!"

-To Cabrini's mens soccer and crosscountry teams for excellent performances in the ESAC Championships. Your wins brought us smiles, your losses brought us together.

Congratulations to the Seniors! Four years of fun. wins, losses and memories. 路 We'll miss ya! *"They're going to the rooftop!"

-Yes, Hooptime is around the comer!

Please go to the games guys and show your true Cabrini spirit! Let's go CA VS! More interesting stuff next week! See ya!

Soccerends successfulseason '

by Jennifer Morrison Speeding down the field with the wind at their backs and a ball at their feet,the Cabrini College men's soccer team captured the Northern Division of the ESAC conference Thursday, outscoring Frostburg.

But luck wasn't on their side when Shenandoah won the ESAC Championships on Saturday.

Starting the season with 10 players, the Cavs accumulated a team of 15 high-spirited and talented goal scorers. Reaching the championships exceeded their expectations.

At the ESAC Championships against Shenandoah, the Cavaliers started off slow, allowing Shenandoah a goal in the first 10 minutes of the game. The Cavaliers began to dominate the second half, but time and luck weren't with them.

At one point, the ball hit the post. Cabrini followed it around the net, again trying to obtain a goal, but it just didn't happen.

In the last five minutes of the game Shenandoah shot the ball in the net, setting the score at 2-0.

Yes, the Cavs had lost, but according to a few players it was worth it.

"We started off with 10 guys in the summer and to come all this way to the championship game, it's a thrill," said Matt Capone, freshman.

Glen Jaskelewicz, freshman, said, "The biggest highlight of the game for me was to be there as a freshman.'' '· Just being there.just making it that far was beyond all our expectations." said Larry Kilcullen, senior, This year's season had some

ups and downs. With a bad stretch in the middle of the season, the team started to pull together as a team in the end.

"We ended up winning the games we had to win to accomplish our goal," Kilcullen said. "The games we wanted to win, we wound up losing."

"We played well in the beginning and we went through a trying time, but we started jelling as a team, during the last five games,'' said Brian Doherty, senior. ''This season was rough because alloftheotherteamsalwayshad 10 to 15 substitutes, while we had three or four," Jaskelewicz said.

"We're not a big team."

Now that the season is over, many memories will stay with the members of the team. Those who stay will have those memories accumulate throughout their next couple of years here at Cabrini. But for the seniors, Saturday's game was to be the last game that they will play.

The seniors, Larry Kilcullen, Brian Doherty and Jerry O'Donnell, had different feelings as the game ended.

"I didn't think about not playing for Cabrini until the final whistle blew," Kilcullen said.

"Then it slipped right out of my fingers, it's the Iast time 1'II ever see it. I don't know if it will really sink in until next summer when I normally get ready for soccer.

Instead,I'll be drinking at the beach or something."

Doherty felt differently.

"When the game ended, it started to sink in that this was my

last game for Cabrini, but then I thought about it and I was pretty happy about how the season went.''

When the game was over, O'Donnell reflected on all of the great times he had with the soccer team during his years at Cabrini.

The bus ride home on Saturday was one day that will remain in the minds of many.

After Cabrini soccer, O'Donnell said he is basically finished with soccer due to injured knees, while Kilcullen and Doherty will continue playing indoor soccer in January and February and follow up with outdoor spring soccer.

The Cavaliers have a family unity that starts with the coach and works its way down.

"Jerry O'Donnell was a tremendous asset to the team," said Mike Callinan, freshman. "Just a great talker, a great communicator, always up for the big games, always telling the freshmen what they did and a big part of why I stayed on the team.''

Callinan also felt that along with the seniors doing a great job bringing the team together, the team couldn't ask for a better coach than Duncan Hubley. · "The coach tells us we can beat anybody, we just need a little luck,'' Callinan said.

"Larry Kilcullen and Brian Doherty brought the team together." O'Donnell said.

Kilcullen was happy with the team. ''We were lucky with the freshman that played," he said. "We got quality players, quality people, and they really helped me make my senior year a success.''

Dohertyand Kilcullen:friendsand playersforever

by Chris Pesotski A look of dogged determination creases the face of soccer team co-captain Brian Doherty as he runs in the middle of the pack of players. Dohert is flanked by Larry Kilkullen, the team's other co-captain.

Kilkullen 's look is slightly more carefree, quite in contrast to the harried stares of exhaustion sported by the rest of the windsprinting team.

A veteran of 16 years of competitionlevel soccer, Doherty attended Archbishop Wood high school in suburban Philadelphia.

At a school noted for producing powerhouse soccer teams, he played three years of varsity soccer in the northern division of the Philadelphia Catholic League.

Kilkullen was a recognized high school player at Delaware County's Penn Wood high school. Cabrini came to his eye because

the former Cabrini soccer coach was previously a Penn Wood coach. "I knew when I came to college I wanted to play soccer on a team where I could make a difference," Kilkullen said.

The soccer team co-captains have several things in common. They're Xavier Hall roommates, marketing and business administration majors, good friends, seniors, mentors for younger players and leaders who are extremely respected by the entire team.

Doherty, on a penalty kick, scored the winning goal in a victory over Stockton State, a game which gave new life to a season that had been punctuated by a seven game losing steak. "That goal is the highlight of my season so far," Doherty said.

The off-the-fieldrapport these friends have translates into a "sixth sense" on the field.

"We work well together, really well," Doherty said. "We pretty much know where one orthe other will be on the field. We can anticipate each other. In that way, Larry contributes to many of my goals.''

One of the many freshman on the team who look to Doherty and Kilkullen for guidance is MattSchlegelmilch. '' Since I've been playing soccer, they have been the best two captains I've ever played with.'' Schlegelmilch has played soccer since sixth grade. ''These guys have been around the league for four years," freshman Mike Conner said. ''They know the teams. They can predict where we '11have problems, and them help us through them.''

One of the times captains are of most importance to a team is during a season's

the losing streak,'' Kilkullen said. ' 'We tried to keep the spirit up. When things aren't going well on the field, you have to work on the off-the-field attitude. We held some team meetings, and tried to get people to realize that all teams have tough times, but it's only the good ones that get through them. That's tough to realize when you 're a freshman and you haven't won a game in two weeks."

"We really spent a lot of time feeling each other out, trying to find team chemistry," Doherty said. Kilkullen continued, "Eventually an intensity built, that's what we drew on during the streak. Knowing that some teams are going to beat us simply because we're young doesn't help. You've got to feel you can go out there and beat any team you face."

"Our captains were a key in getting us to pull together when the chips were down," Kevin Gaherty, freshman, said. "When we felt confused on the field, these guys helped us out. But more than that, they really care about everyone on the team, especially us freshmen. Great leaders, super people.''

Perhaps one of the reasons these young men care so much about the team, is because ithasgivensomuchtothem.

"I've had a lot of fun over the last four years,'' Kilkullen said. ''There have been some tough lessons, about both soccer and life. Our coach and teammates have helped us in many ways.

I've learned how to work with others, and a lot about when to lead and when to let others lead."

"One of the things that's also kept my spirits up this year is the freshman team members," Kilkullen said. "They're the f CT1u~ unu

They're fast and smart. The future looks very bright."

"It's been great to be able to help these guys adjust to college-level play," Doherty added. "I'm really proud to have been a part of this season."

As the celebration of the victory over Stockton State began in earnest, another aspect of the two team captains became evident. Soccer isn't the only thing in their lives. They manage to take time out for many activities of campus life. They're known to many, both on the team and off, as people who listen and understand. "They're really super guys, Steve Wescott said. When I have needed them they've been there. They care about much more than just the soccer team. They're top-notch people."

disappointments. Their overall record is 73, but their potential was hindered due to injuries and other ailments.

After starting the season with 18 runners, the team dwindled down to the present eight.

With injuries mounting, the team at one meet this year was in danger of not fielding the required team of six. The team was also without the services of world- class runner El Mostafa Nechchadi, sophomore Bob Fuhrman; and carried on with the hindered performance of captain Mike Feeley, due to a recovering bout with mononucleosis. But all-in-all, coach O'Hora feels his program is on a nice rebuilding pace.

"Despite the injuries we had -a very successful year. Who would have expected ustofinishsecondinthe ESAC's?" O'Hora said.

Dolan said, "We are a good team with lots of talent, but we had bad breaks.''

Cabrini has a young team with the only seniors to graduate being Dolan and Feeley.

"Our team is strong. Sophomore Dan Francis is looking strong, junior transfer Paul Greenhalgh is a good fifth man, sophomore Chris Callinan could be one of the premier runners on the east coast, junior Tom O'Donnell is starting to perform well under pressure and freshman Tom Anderson is still learning," coach O'Hora said.

"It is important for the team to grow together," Feeley said, "The future looks tremendously bright.''

A key to the program's future success will be coach O'Hora. Several players mentioned that his goal setting (sometimes visibly on creative dittos featuring inspirational sayings) is what makes them driven.

"Coach O'Hora's goals give me a sense of achievement," Dolan said.

Osborn said, "Coach O'Hora's goals are realistic and attainable. He knows what he is doing."

Feeley said, ''The way coach has taught me to attack a five- mile course is the way I've learned to attack life."

Coaching any sport is not easy.

Coaches have to be denicated, loyal and interested. Those three qualities are coach Tom O'Hora's trademarks.

0 'Hora has been coaching men's cross country for seven years at Cabrini and about 12 years before coming here. All who know the coach, know he loves his job and that he takes it seriously.

"I will never forgetthe coach's philosophy on running," Mike Feeley, captain, said. Feeley sees O'Hora as someone who is really interested and involved. ''He has made me not only a better runner but a better person," he said.

O'Hora tries to explain the whys in what he does. "Many coaches just say, Tm the coach and your the athlete so you do as I say.'

I don't like that."

Throughout the season, O'Hora meets individually with therunners to discuss his plans and their progress. "If they disagree with something, they tell me and we work on it," he said. O'Hora believes the goals he sets for the team are realistic and they are goals the team can meet. "This year every goal has been met and those that haven't came very close," O'Hora said.

Being a runner himself, O'Horaknows it is important, not just to set goals for the team to gratify the coach's ego. "I don't ask anyone on the team to do more than I really think they can. I'm just a guiding light and whatever I ask them to do I do with them or have done," O'Hora notes.

During his seven years of coaching cross country, O'Hora has seen a big difference in the cross country program. ''When I first came here the cross country team was virtually non-existant," O'Hora explained. He recalls one of his main goals was to develop the team and establish a running tradition - goal he has met. ''We went from being one of the worst teams to one of the very best," he says proudly. O'Hora says its fun to watch larger schools get excited when they know they are going to compete against us. "We run against much larger teams with larger budgets and we still are strong contendors,'' he adds.

Competing against larger teams does however pose one big problem.

"Our runners can't have an off day," O'Hora said. Having eleven great runners matched up against the top seven give the larger schools an obvious advantage. ''They have the choice of who to put in and their runners get to rest," O'Hora said. O'Hora ex-

plained the team doesn't have the depth to put certain runners in and leave certain runners out. "Every runner has to give his best and run."

O'Hora has seen many great athletes coi:ne and go but he does realize it is going to be hard to replace the talent the team is going to lose when key runners graduate.

"Of course we will go on but we won't be able to replace the talent of Mike Dolan or the leadership of Mike Feeley," O'Hora said. The cross country team does have some talented young runners but the team doesn't have the unity it really needs. ''The team had many injuries and a lot of sickness this year but it had great leaders and talent," O'Hora said. He does say with runners like Chris Callahan and John Osbourne the team does have talent and will still be strong. The problem the team will have is the number of runners. ' 'This year we started with 18 people and now we have eight," O'Hora said. The lack of depth is the largest problem coach O'Hora sees for the next season.

Before O'Hora came to Cabrini, he trained world class athletes, who were prospective olypmic runners. O'Hora came to Cabrini with one hope; that he could give to the runners the guidance and support his coachesgavehim. "Iwanttogive back what

The womert"s cross country team performed valiantly at the ESAC Championships, this past Saturday at Belmont Plateau. Although they did not finish with the top of the pack, their strong effort was representative of their year to date.

Coach Tom O'Hora. who took over the team in the early summer, was hindered in choosing his roster without the benefits of recruiting. Since admissions werecappedat that point,O'Hora had to do on campus recruiting that produced a young squad with a smorgasbord of athletic talent.

"The bulk of our team consists of good athletes that have other sports. field hockey and basketball for instance, as their main sports," O'Hora said, "But their overall athletic ability allowed us to be competitive."

Team members include returning runners in sophomores Jackie Albrecht (12th place at ESAC) and Jen Arnholt.

Sophomore basketball standout, Kathy Murray. placed seventh at the ESAC race with a goal-beating time of 22 minutes and40 seconds in the five-kilometer race.

That placing qualified Murray for All-

ESAC.

Freshman DebbieBailey,runningcross country for the first time in her life, garnered a medal in the Philadelphia Metro Catholic Championships earlier this season. Freshman Veronica O 'Hora, the coach's daughter, performed with courage despite severe injuries to her knees. O'Hora came to Cabrini as a basketball standout, but now must forfeit this season due to her injuries.

Coach O'Hora feels the team will only improve with new ..recruits, the return of junior Nancy Long (lost due to injury), and the maintainance of their strong effort.

"We expected virtuallynothing, but we were very competitive and the future looks good," said coach O'Hora.
