mokey Joe's may be snuffed out

by Chris Pesotski and Sharlene Sephton Young women urinating in the street, broken glass littering neighboring properties and loud raucous behavior late into the night, are just a few of the problems currently being associated with Smokey Joe's Bar and Restaurant on Lancaster Avenue in Wayne.

Police Chief Maurice Henessy of Radnor Township states that 37 violations have resulted in citations issued to patrons of the establishment since the beginning of September.These violations include a death by auto, two hit-and-run accidents and 16 disorderly conduct incidents.

The bar is frequented by a college-age crowd, often numbering nearly 300 on · a weekend night.

"It's mostly a Villanova bar, but at least 30 Cabrini-people go there regularly,'• said Kelly Walsh, junior.

Philadelphia sports teams• banners adorn the rafters; a pool table is spotlighted by a beer sign and a basketball game is tucked in one comer. A sports atmosphere seems to be the main drawing point for patrons. "Most of the customers I see are involved in Villanova football or basketball,'• said Steve

It also appears that the lot is decline of the neighborhood.''

"We have had a meeting with undersized for the number of pa-

the owners of Smokey Joe's about problem areas,'' McGeehan said.

"However, there is no legal problem that has turned up with the way they run the bar.

"In the last month, a raid did turn up eight or nine minors inside the establishment. Smokey Joe's was not cited because it was determined that they were Jet in by a 21year-old through aside door." An arrest is pending on the patron who allowed the minors to enter the bar.

"I go to work every day and make sure we're not serving minors," Ryan said. "When dealing with a college crowd, a young crowd, they're comingatyoufrom all angles. We try to stop those we can.''

Ryan stations two doormen at the front door, and mopitors each of the side doors with a single employee. If the weather permits, a doorman stands outside, according to Ryan.

"We're effective 98 percent of the time," Ryan said.

The bar has a policy of holding any questionable ID on file while a patron is on the premises. "Have your ID ready," Ryan said.

According to Smokey Joe's waitresses, doormen routinely check their ID's when off-duty.

"Yeah, I think we're getting a bad deal," Ryan said. "We've done everything Radnor township has ever asked us to do. I don't think we're doing anything wrong."

"I don'twanttoseeabarclosed if someone is trying to run a business on the up-and-up," McGeehan said. "I think the Ryan's are trying to do that in Radnor."

"I don't see it as a tremendous problem, but · they have their difficulties," Reichle saj.d. "The patrons have absolutely no respect for the police or the community.

Out of 27 liquor licenses in Radnor, this is the only one that gives us a problem.

Stories of devastation and separation brought to campus

by Melissa Landsmann and Jennifer Morrison Imagine living in a world without freedom.

You have no rights, no opinions and the government controls every facet of your life. Your family is tom apart.

Although you are the majority, your life is ruled by the minority-controlled government.

To many Americans, this world is difficult to picture. But to 23 million blacks in South Africa, this is an everyday reality. The tragic lives of South Africans were brougbt to life recently during Apartheid Awareness Week, which was co-sponsored by resident life and student services offices.

The activities included films, lectures and letter-writing campaignsthat, to many students, brought a better understandingof the injustice of apartheid in South Africa.

Apartheid is a system backed by law, which was intended to separate black native Africans from the Afrikaaners, who are descendents of the early white Dutch settlers. Apartheid is an Afrikaan word which means seperate but equal.

The history of South Africa is a story of conflict between two settling countries and the natives. In the late 1600's, the Dutch explored South Africa. They found the colony deserted and rich in fruit, a necessity when preventing the ships' crews from acquiring scurvy. Cape Town became their

themselves and their children while keeping the Africans in the gold and diamond mines without giving them an education.

The blacks who did receive an education, were allowed to·only attend small classes and were not permitted to learn En~lish.

This left political uprise impossible.

"It is important for students to learn as much as they can and become aware of the problem."

-Lulama Kunene and John Mokonyama, of Eastern College home.

200 years later the British tried to claim the same land. Neither were happy to see each other and thus started the Boer Wars.

An agreement was set and the two gruops fonned Pretoria.

One aspect that these countries overlooked were the natives of this land. The Zulu tribe came from the north, thus putting the colonists on the defensive. The African tribe, who spoke Bantu, were defeated by the colonists and became slaves for the British and the Dutch.

The colonists then began to educate

Separationwas more apparent when apartheid came into power. Blacks were not pennitted to travel in the same train as a white and had to be out of the major cities of South Africa before a certain curfew hour.

If a black did not make the last train they were detained.

Being detained was a horror to experience. ".:Thetorture that the blacks encountered, can be compared to the Nazi concentration camps," said Rita Calicat, director of student activities.

During Apartheid Awareness week, several speakers shared their experiences of

South Africa in its' time of trouble.

Nancobo Sangweri, a prisoner of conscience, was · the first speaker.

Sangweri shared the pain and suffering that she acquired while being detained in a prison camp. Asked if she would ever go back to live with her husband in South Africa and join in the fight, Sangweri responded, '' I will not go back until the three political parties are dismantled.''

Reverend Carl Kunz of the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware, was the second speaker. Being a white American who lived in a black South African township, Kunz was able to offer a totally different perspective about the apartheid situation.

Kunz was appalled at the treatment of the blacks and the whites who sympathised with the plight of the blacks.

According to Kunz, a cu~ous teenage white girl who attended an apartheid rally to gather information about the problems was identified and reported to police. The next the day she was interrogated for six hours.

Because of her curiosity she will be labeled a black sympathizer for the rest

Xavier Hall: a den of damage Labeling:anorm at Cabrini If you look on page four you will notice physical plant's report of the total campus vandalism up to Nov 30.

You will also notice that much of the damage (approximately 76 percent) has taken place in Xavier Hall.

Between 80 and 90 percent of Xavier's damage was done in Upper and Lower South.

Xavier Hall also constitutes 67 percent of all campus vandalism.

Last year, members of the entire dorm were charged for any damage that occurred there, whether they had contributed to the damage or not.

This year, things have changed. Individuals are paying for their own damage--to an extent.

There have been peoplewho have come forth and reported other people's vandalism. Those persons who have been caught vandalizing are charged and fined for the cost to fix the damage.

The question remains: Why do you, the residents of Xavier who are destroying your living space, feel compelled to do this?

Most of the vandalism is completely sensless: Stealing toilet paper holders, punching holes in walls and stealing elevator certificates. What is the point?

Vandalism in other parts of the campus is significantly lower this year.

This is due in part to the $100 security deposit and the formation of special interest housing.

The real problem lies in Xavier. The resident assistants can't see everything that goes on, they do what they can. Would the presence of a 24 hour security guard put a stop to the vandalism? This is only one solution until Xavier vandals learn to respect their own property and the property around them.

Th.roughfamilytragedy,an importantlessonis learned

by ChristinaRoach We buried my 20 year-old cousin today.

His name was Danny. Some think he committed suicide.

As I stood and watched six of his closest friends act as pallbearers, and as memories of bygone years ran through my head, all I could think was it wasn't fair that these guys, who are my age, had to lay their friend to rest.

Danny always had a smile for everyone.

I can remember playing with all my cousins as children. Danny, with a mischievous gleam in his eyes, would give a good tug at my pony-tail as I attempted to chase him around the yard. And, since he was a young boy, he thought little girls were "yucky" and wouldn't give me a kiss goodbye. And I remember him running the home video. camera at a Ouistmas party ...and talking with him about our future careers and college.

He died such a senseless death. He had so much ahead of him. Danny was smart and talented. He was the kind of guy everyone liked.

No one understands or knows why he did it. It remains inconceivable to those who knew him that it was on purpose. Many family and friends believe it was an accident.

Yes, it was senseless--but the priest who gave the eulogy begged us not to let Danny's death be in vain. The priest asked us to see in Danny's death that nothing was so great it could not be overcome.

People who commit suicide aren't unstable. They are usually people who have set very high standards for both themselves and others. Many are overly committed, conscientious, giving and talented people. And often, because they expect so much of themselves, each disappointment seems so great. They commit suicide because their depression is so deep, they see no other way When such a tragedy strikes close to

home, it allows us to see that the day-to-day things which cause us stress are unimportant in the big picture of our lives. No failure or setback is so great it cannot be overcome. A failed test, a lost race, a fight with a parent or a break-up with a girlfriend or boyfriend ate not worth dying for.

The priest at Danny's funeral reminded us to appreciate the now. This shows how important it is to tell those people who are close to you that you love them. And it is important to realize that one fight does not break a relationship. Harsh words do not erase the love that is there.

Sure, ultimately in the person's mind, death resolves the problems. But when we look at theendresultofa suicide, we are left to wonder if any problems were really solved.

Often people are unable to see things can be worked out through communication. Or time will make the problem seem less important. Suicide does not solve any crisis.

It creates one. For those who remain, there are so many questions, so much pain, grief and anger.

I wish Danny could have seen that. There are so many things he did not do. So many things we never did with him or said to him.

As the strains of the song "Oh, Danny Boy" echoed through the church and our hearts, we gave Danny back to God. And, from a life that had barely begun, we learned an invaluable lesson--that nothing is so big or terrible we can't get through it.

Danny died Nov.18, 1989

angie corbo managing editor Did you ever notice if you do something that happens tocatchpeople'sattention,you may be reminded of what you did for perhaps longer than you care to? Labeling is something which Cabrini has acquired a famous reputation for doing. Womanizer, bitch, partier, goody-two shoes, commuter, House 7 nerd, tease, soccer head, geeks, buttkisser,just some of the commonly used buzz words, shall I continue?

At such a small college it is easy for labels like this to be established. The sad thing is that people do not get to know us for who we are, but who they perceive us to be, based on the "label" one may wear.

Look at senior, Mike Feeley, a known partier basic no good kid who wastes his time doing nothing for the school. Sure Mike enjoys socializing around campus, but did anyone notice that his name was on the Dean's List last semester? Who sees him when he dedicates a weekend to the haunted house; when he participates in hunger awareness week; or when he offers to host a high school cross country runner who is a prospective Cabrini student?

I know that I myself and many of those that I am in close contact with have been beating our heads up against a wall because of this. Many students that I know who are involved in leadership positions are sometimes unjustly stereotyped. resident assistants¡are bitches; campus ministers are do-gooders; student government officers are everything and anything in between, which of course makes us two faced. Kappas, oh yeah, I forgot. ..but so does the rest of the campus.

Perhaps at this point, I should tone done the sarcasm and make a confession. For the past month, I have literally been sick over such stereotypes that exist on our campus.

As I watch people label members of our campus community as "the campus sound guy" when referring to Jeff Foley or as, "You know, Kevin the commuter kid who transferred," instead of simply Kevin George. Does anyone ever take the time to look beyond the labels, to look at the people in the organization? Do people really care that there is more to people than what meets the eye?

One of the attractions of a small campus is that "everybody knows everybody." This was one of the many reasons why I chose to attend Cabrini. Yet, as of late, I find that we spend less time getting to know each other as people. We are too quick to label organizations and people before taking the time to know them. It'sfunny,after lbecamemore involved with campus life, I feel like I am seen as the position the viewer needs to see me in, instead of a as person. At times this can be confusing, even frustrating. I would have an identity crisis ifl listened to all of the things that I have been labeled as.

It certainly is true that sometimes one's roles dictate what they need to pursue. My role as SGA president forced me to speak on behalf of the organization when the newspaper did the investigative piece on our moderator, who for the past four years has been a very close friend of mine. My role as a reporter challenged me to write the sensitive article on the drug bust. My internship in the public relations office this semester has influenced the way that I dress, write and speak about the college. But the

underlying factor is that it is me, ME, who is still doing the work. Although I am in roles thatcall me toconformsomeofmyopinions so I can represent the masses, these roles have NEVER made me compromise any of my VALVES or INTEGRITY. Those who know me, know that I do not have vengeful feelings towards anyone on this campus. They see me feeling like hell for events that have occured this past semester.

Anyone who knows me, knows that the responsibilities that I have elected to undertake are¡ ones that I bold dear to my heart. They are a part of me, although they do not represent all of me. The qualities that I put in to each job what I think each job needs. It kills me when people misjudge my intentions for doing my job for secular or selfish reasons.

I do not mean to be on a soap box with this idea. I am using myself as an example because I can express my thoughts and feeling in an open and honest manner. There are many students that I have spoken to who share my conems about stereotyping. Where is that sense of community that I once saw established in this college? Can we come to common grounds with each other?

The first step in crossing the bridge for appreciating difference and diversity is getting to know each other as people. How can we make any progress at striving for campus unity if we don't know what to stive for, or even worse, who we are striving for? It is a matter of social consciousness now for people to take the time to realize, to value and to appreciate the community in which we are all a part.

We really do have something special at Cabrini. We are a family who has made an investment in visions together. Like any family, the bond can be strong or it can be distant. It is up to us to make a commitment to perserve the family heritage or to allow a beautiful tradition to be lost, depriving others from ever experiencing the exuberant life that Cabrini College has the potential to share.

He is thoroughly repulsive and has no redeeming qualities.

Even so, he is unable to understand the woman's obvious contempt for him and misinterprets her

vitriolic rejection for flirtatious ad-

Secondly. the comic does not condone the clueless man's viewpoint. He is antagonistic and cootemptable. Anyone who would exclaim, "Cool, I want to be like that guy," is seriously deranged.

Nobody reading the cartoon would want to adopt the man's philosophy any more than they would want to adorn hispolka-

Student smoked about

C"ounsel'sfire escapes To the Editor: As I recently spoketomymomaboutmy donn, the food, classes, etc., a subject came up which alarmed her greatly: What type of escape is available in case of fire? I assured her she had nothing to fear as my mind reeled with the questions she asked. Of course, there are several exits with access from thehallway, but whatifthefirebreaks out in the hallway? God forbid.

My donn room is an "outside" room on the second floor of Counsel Hall. My roommate and I have a lovely view from our five windows but little in the way of an escape route in case of an emergency. Our five windows are all jalousies and should

we possibly be able to break through the nine panes of reinforced glass, which constitutes a single 18"x30" window, we would still be in great risk jumping from the second floor.

No ledge, no fire escapes, no ladder, and no guarantee of safety.

Now, I'm not trying to live my life in a worst-case scenario fashion but I'd like to be sure of some things in my life--Jike my life.

I also hope I have made some other resident students a little more anxious about their own safety in their dorms.

Amnion director-explains· open adoption process To the Editor: I recently read the October 27 issue of The Loquitur which included the article, ''Open Adoption Alternatives for Unwanted Pregnancies".

I appreciate that the Loquitur presented adoption as a positive solution to a pregnancy which was unplanned. However, I also feel that several statements made throughout the article gave a negative and false impression regarding "traditional"' adoption.

One example was the implication that the birthmother is allowed to directly choose

3

the adoptive couple only through "open" adoption; while in reality both ''traditional•' and "open" adoption procedures allow for this and encourage it.

Over the past several decades the adoption process as a whole, whether traditional, open, or a mixture of the two, has become much more sensitive to the needs of the birthmother as she makes such loving and sacrificial plans for her baby's future.

Sincerely, Laurie Covert Assistant Director Amnion Crisis Pregnancy Center

'Stop, l~ok and listen to the world around you' To all the Cabrini Community, I am writing for quite a few reasons. The main reason is the one which will probably be the hardest to understand ... values. I am not saying that you do not have any, just that I am not quite sure if they are sincere orif they mean enough to any of you that you would act on them. This may _seem angry--IT IS! I was recently told to "Read the code of conduct!" by a fellow student. I did and it only made me realize how far Cabrini has gone away from values. In the Code it states members of the Cabrini community should: uphold a high level of honesty and integrity, have concern for emotional and physical well-being of others, and that' 'the members of this unique community be particularly sensitive to their individual responsibilities for respecting the rights of others.'' During the past few months I have noticed a total disregard fro others. This upsets me as I am sure it upsets others.

Some of you are probably wondering "What is going on?" Well, I have seen many people suffer from others Jack of concern. I have seen two of the most spirited people fall to the attacks of insensitive until they hurt so bad that they fall.

Over the past few weeks both Rita Calicat and John Doyle felt the pain of this insensitivity. For those of you who do not know them you may not see the years of dedication and hard work they have placed into this college. Even the administration has let them down now. This statement may anger people, but i~ is time those of you who lie and hurt others to create an easier time for yourselves stop and look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? Can you sleep at night? Well, I know John Doyle could not, that is why he wound up in the hospital! He could not take the last beating of lies which threw him over the edge. I have seen both

of these people attacked and hurt by their own staff (students included), lied about and stepped on and they continued to give. Now they need support. Do they get it or do people continue this senseless garbage they call opinions or facts? Granted, everyone has a right to an opinion, but when it destroys people is it worth the two cents of steam you get off your chest?

Maybe I grew up with a love for all peop~e that others don't have--1 don't think so because I have seen others act in loving caring ways. Please there isn't one ofus who are perfect. We try our hardest to do what is right and to please all we can without hurting others. When a person is down do not throw another stick at them, help them encourage them, take the time to tell them something happy and positive.

I am not asking anyone to be fake. There is enough of that. Just stop and think about the words you use and the times and places you use them. If you give love out it will always come back a&-love but if you give · out pain it only hurts all concerned.

"Expect the best and you will get the best but except only others what you except of yourself.•' (author unknown) If you get nothing else from this please take time to stop and look and listen to the world around you. We are here only a very short time--it would be a shame to waste it without loving as many people as possible.

God bless you John and Rita and every student who has ever met you knowsthereal=~-~ truth. You are wonderful people with hearts big enough to hold the universe and souls to match!

With love to all, Claire da Silva senior

A penny for your thoughts would make campus "wealthier" Dear Editor:

In the past weeks, I have seen quite a few letters in your column commenting on the performance of the Student Government Association. Letters have raised comments, both positive and negative, about the organization.

We are the ~lected representative body for the students. Believe me, I understand that we have not yet the every need of the entire population of the student body. This is a very demanding challenge, yet, it is a goal of mine, nonetheless to make an active attempt to strive to fill the needs that I am consciously aware.

There is only one way to achieve such a goal: that is to listen to the concerns of the student body. SGA is to be the foundation

that makes the student body more unified.

We need suggestions, feedback and support from all members of the college in order to do our job to the fullest capacity.

It is my hope that more students follow the example of those who have expressed their concerns to you. If we all take the time to articulate our concerns and aspirations for the college to the SGA officers, the organization would have a more extensive base to begin serving the college community.

I invite, encourage, and ask the college community to express their thoughts. If SGA had a penny for all of the thoughts of the campus, we would all be much wealtheir.

Gratefullyyours, Angie Corbo, president Student GovernmentAssociation

The 1989-90 Loquitur Editorial Board would like to wish the Cabrini community a joyus holida.y season and a relaxing winter break!

Couns·elingcenter is 'focused on you'

by Leonora Veterano "Don't be afraid to look at your heart.

Don't be afraid to love yourself.

Love yourself so much that it flows over to everyone."

John Rogers This is the general feeling that the staff gives to those who seek their help in the counseling center, otherwise known as the Rooymans Center.

The counseling center offers psychological as well as educational counseling for students and faculty. Resident life and health services are also provided in the center. .

But the provisions don't stop here. The center is also a place where the staff cares about the needs of the students.

"We give the student the opportunity to explore their inner-world, in a safe space with someone who does care," said Dr. Katherine Preston, director of the counseling center. "We are completely focused on you, which is different from friends.''

The staff also handles some of the programs that go on around the campus.

J Programs that deal with stress management, date rape, relationships or success as well as eating awareness and suicide.

~ut the center is not just for those who may have a conflict with themselves or others, it is there for other ideas also.

"We are not just here to serve people with problems,'' said Lilly Goodman Waechtler, a counselor. "We are here for those who may want to change some habit they have to exploring their ~s."

But there are some problems which do arise pertaining to the center. Some people feel that you go there if you are failing a course or if you have some type of mental problem.

But Preston said that those feelings are wrong. The services she and the staff provide are for anyone and everyone.

"We respect and hold confidental, everything which is said to us," Preston said. ''Besides that, the services provided are free.''

The center is located next to Holy Spirit Library.

In the center and through the hallway you will find the names of whomever you are looking for as well the service which he or she may provide.

There is definitely l\ feeling of awareness being distributed throughout the center. A feeling of being wanted as signs are posted on the bulletin boards, stating: F.Y.I. (For

NEWSBRIEFS

The Cold War is Over The leaders of the world's two most powerful countries declared last weekend that the 35-year war of words and policies between the two super powers was over. President Bush, and Soviet President, Mikhail S. Gorbachev said after a two-day summit in Malta that the future relationship of the entire Eastern and Western worlds will be one · of economic cooperation and peace. Afterward, a joint press conference hosted by the two leaders symbolized the future of world politics, they said. No new treaties were signed ,but both sides promised new arms agreements at a summit scheduled next June.

Communists in East Germany Resign The entire leadership of the ruling Communist Party in East Germany resigned last weekend amid charges of corruption. Egon Krenz (the man who last month opened the Berlin Wall), the Politburo and Central Committee all resigned after lower members of the party pressured them. Three former partly bosses were jailed and charged with using government funds to finance luxurious vacation estates.

Czechoslovakian Communists Re-assert Power In a blunt reversal of his recent reform-minded policies, the Czechoslovakian Premier. Ladislav Adamec appointed a new cabinet dominated by Communists. The primary opposition group, Civic Forum, called the appointments a "betrayal" of the promises made during the past two weeks of demonstrations.

Religious Freedom Promised in USSR After a historic meeting with Pope John Paul II, Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev promised freedom of religion to all people of the Soviet Union. The Pope, in tum, blessed the President and his movement of perestroika. Gorbachev also invited the Pope to his country next year.

War Goes on in El Salvador A ten-year .var between Marxist rebels and a U.S.-backed government has claimed approximately 70,000 lives so far. The recent outbreakof violence has been sparked by the rebels' most concerted effort yet to overthrow the government. Although the revolt has not been supported by the masses in the Central American country, the wartom citizens and the poor are not supporting the government either.

Each year representatives of the Student Government Association (SGA) attend a leadership conference. The goal of these 'J)rograms is to help the SGA better assess the needs of the campus and their role in meeting those needs. And as the airplane touched down at the Orlando, Fla. airport on Nov. 18, the four officers set out to learn how to become an "issue-oriented SGA," rather than an '• activities-oriented SGA.'' "We seem more social activities-oriented, instead of issue- oriented,'' SGA Executive Board Historian Colin Coakley said. "We wanted to see what other SGA boards do in their schools. What is their function? If they are more issue oriented, how do they do it?''

SGA President Angie Corbo explained the difference between the two styles of leadership. She said that activity-oriented SGAs concentrate mostly on social events like dances and trips, whereas issue-oriented SGAs get involved in academics, judicial decisions and school politics. Corbo hopes the social activities board will take over those social events to allow the rest of the SGA time to address the other campus concerns.

Some of the topics discussed at the conference included: minorities on majority campuses; campus apalhy; bridging the gender gap on campus; censorship of college media; legal issues concerning SGAs; longterm planning; and building more effective SGAs. "We went to every single workshop available," SGA Recording Secretary Katie Mullen, said. "We made sure we all went to different sessions so we could learn more. ''We are each writing summary reports of our experiences at the conference. We want to show accountability for the money we spent," Mullen said. "We didn't have any real free time. We didn't explore down there or go to Disney World. ''We were pretty close to being the small-

est college there," Vice President Frank Emmerich said. "When I gotthere and I saw all those big universities, I thought 'How can we learn from these big schools?' But, I realized we could, by taking their ideas and scaling them down.''

Corbo said that in comparison to the big schools, Cabrini's SGA budget may seem low, but the larger schools have more students and activities under theirs.

"Ours is competitive," Corbo said. "If you scale it down to our population, the budget is as strong as the other schools. ''Overall, the conference was good for me because I now feel our SGA is really moving in the right direction," Corbo said. "Not only in the right direction for us, but the same direction as other SGAs." Mullen said, "On a secretary's level, I learned what others did. It made me realize how much work we do in comparison --even on a limited budget.''

According to Emmerich, many of the officers in other schools receive compensation for their work, either through credit hours or a salary.

"We dedic~e ourselves to serving the students," he said. "The other schools did not understand this. When we told them that

we get 'no compensation'they laughed. ''I don't want to see Cabrini's officers get paid. as such,'' Emmerichsaid. ''Then-~~--, people may do it just for the money. Maybe the SGA should be able to earn credit hours for their work. The work we do can be applied to most majors, like an independent study with your advisor."

All of the attendants said they came back with many ideas to implement at Cabrini, and

a renewed sense of energy.

"We have dedicated ourselves to being issue oriented." Coakley said.

"The conference allowed us to recharge our batteries and come back with a lot of enthusiasm. We have many new ideas to implement here at Cabrini.•'

Separationfrom 1 of her life.

Two Eastern students from South Africa finished up the weekwith a college stu• dent's view of the situation. Lulama Kunene and John Mokonyama started their discussion with a few slides showing the natural beauty andthe human devastation of South Africa.

Kunene and Mokonyama explained that color determines everything in South Africa: where you live; what kind of life you live; and what type of education you receive. The black ethnic groups are not pennitted to live in the cities and they must live at least 15 miles apart. They compared the places that blacks are forced to live to American Indian reserves.

Thousands of black African students are failed because the government controls the grading system. It is very difficult for a black to succeed in their education.

"We want an eradication of the present system," Kunene said. "We need a change of government. But, we want a government that is exclusive of whites.

We want justice for all."

Unlike Sangweri, Kunene and Mokonyama both plan to return to South Africa after earning their degrees in order to help in whatever way they can. This may mean that all of the hard work put into their educations may be wasted since getting a job in South Africa will be extremely difficult.

"It is important for students to learn as much as they can andbecome aware of the problem,'', Kunene and Mokonyama said.

According to Calicat, approximately80 J".COl)1e attendedthe events last week.

Continuing Ed joins forces to help laid-off workers

By Chris Pesotski Nearly 1,000 people will lose their jobs when the AT&T plant in King of Prussia completes its closure. At this facility, workers have spent their entire adult lives assembling and repairing telephone equipment. Most took jobs with what was then "Ma Bell" immediately after high school.

Hundreds now have spouses and children.

At the beginning of their careers, these were secure jobs, although pay rates were low. The next two decades brought higher wages, in some cases tripling a worker's starting hourly rate. And then came the government-ordered divestiture of Ma Bell, and the subsequent de-regulation of the telecommunications industry.

Suddenly, "baby Bells" sprang up.

Competition threatened the AT&T empire.

Layoffs hit every level of the corporate giant, initiating major changes in the lives of thousands of families.

Workers at the AT&T King of Prussia site have few marketable skills for today's job market. They are, however, the clerks and technicians that helped build an industrial power. Advances in technology made their jobs, and all the effort these workers put in over the years, obsolete.

Few employment opportunities exist in

today's job market which tap the resources thesemenand women possess. Theirhighly technical skills have been superseded by machines and speed. According to Mary Kline, associate director of continuing education, these workers kept pace with society in terms of wages, but new labor contracts failed to address necessary re-training issues.

workforce as the economy changes.

"The kind of work we're doing should have been done over the course of many years," Kline said. "Now we're trying to get these people prepared to hold jobs in a market they are not prepared to face.¡' Area industries contact the JVC when their workers face a layoff which would force them to seek further education or other

"The kind of work we're doing should have been done over the course of many years. Now we're trying to get these people prepared to hold jobs in a market they are not prepared to face.

-Mary Kline, associate director of Continuing Education Kline and Judy Bradley, coodinator for special programs and student services for continuing education, direct t.lJ.eCabrini end of a project headed by the Joint Ventures Center (JVC) to re-train these workers with the skills needed to be successful in today's job market. The JVC is a cooperative effort among area colleges, businesses, and labor unions to train and re-train the region's

re-training in order to re-enter the job market. The JVC then sets up and administers a program where the workers can get career counseling and employment education from local colleges.

The program designed for the AT&T workers is similar to programs for other industries. Kline and Bradley run five threehour sessions and conduct an hour of

counseling with every worker. The sessions help identify each worker's college potential, and inventory the interests and career possibilities of all participants.

"One of the unstated goals is letting these people vent their frustrations and fears," Kline said. "Once they do that, you can really see people move forward in the five weeks.

"We teach them resume writing, how to prepare for interviews, what a cover letter is, things that will help them get a job in the short run. For the long run, we try to orient the workers to a college setting," Kline continued.

"We show them the differences between credit and non-credit courses, what just a few courses can do for them, how to get around a campus, and some of the other things that college students take for granted."

One of the major skills workers re-entering the job market are lacking is the information needed to job hunt.

"When they got their jobs (at AT&T), they just looked up a job in the help wanted section and went over to the plant," Kline said. "Things have changed a lot in the last twenty years. We're trying to give them a hand at adapting to the changes.''

Waiting'til the last minute:all-nighterhorrorstories

by Mark Gudas You somehow found a way to bum coffee.

The Snickers bar is stale. The electricity went out in the dorm and you are using an electric typewriter. When it comes back on yourunoutofinkinthe typing ribbon. Your roommate drank your six-pack of soda when he came home because he was drunk and he thought the soda was beer.

These are some horrible things that could happen to you while you are pulling your all-nighter. The following students tell their own personal all-nighter stories as has happened to them.

Ellen Battersby, sophomore, experienced a horrible all-nighter last year.

"Last year I had three French papers due and I had to write and type them. I was up until 5 a.m. and then I had to do other work.

I ran out of ink in the typing cartridge and I left an important paragraph out on one of the pages. I ended up getting the paper done but the next day I slept through all of my classes."

Jacqui Ricci, sophomore, knew it was going to be a terrible night when she started to study and there were people talking loudly in the hallway. Then they started running around and banging on everyone's door. The next thing she knew she had joined all the other girls and they had a water gun fight.

When it was all over and she resumed studying again the clocked showed 3:17 a.m. She opened up the book to begin reading the five chapters for the test and when she looked up the clock read 6:02 and she was on the same page. By the time her 8:30 rolled around she had read half the material and written an extra credit paper. She passed the test and fell asleep as soon as she got back to her room.

Meghan Kane, senior, had this story. Her roomma~ went to bed at midnight and Kane went into the room around 3 a.m. to get a soda. Kane lay down for about 5 minutes but ended-up falling asleep. She woke up at 8 a.m. and the paper was due at 8:30. "I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off,' ' Kane said. She typed the paper as fast as she could and ended up going to class at 9 a.m. and got an A on the paper for only doing an

hour's worth of work.

Carlos Chamorro, senior, had to write a paper and study for a test both in the same night. Chamorro started studying and then stopped and began writing the paper and fell asleep. When he woke up he could not remember what he had studied so he went back and studied for two more hours. He then went to breakfast and then took the test.

After the test he finished writing the paper.

When he finally got the grades back they were both poor.

Marco Sardi, sophomore, was studying for a microeconomics exam that determined whether or not he passed the course for the semester. He took a study break and realized after he took the last puff on his cigarette that the pack was empty. He jumped into his truck and went to Wawa. When he got out to his truck after his purchase he had a flat tire.

He fixed the tire and when he got back to school he went to his room, only to find out that he locked his keys in the truck. He had to wake up his roommate to get back into the room. Eventually, he did some hard studying and passed the exam and the -course.

Christy Earley, sophomore, was up until 3 a.m. trying to do a paper. Earley finished writing the paper and when she went to type it she found her dad using the typewriter which he was finishing up some work he had brought home with him.

She went to bed but could not sleep because she was upset that she was not going to get the paper typed. Earley rolled out of bed early and came to school. She went to her friend's room and used hertypewriter.

She eventually got the paper typed but she was late for class and the teacher considered the paper late because she collected it at the beginning of class. She would have gotten an A if the paper was in on time but she only got a B because it was late.

By Mark Gwltu Yousay to yourself, · 'If only I didn't ta/Ir.so long on the phone I wouldn't be up at 4:00 a.m. studying for this final exam."

Students should balance their time better and not wait until the last minute to do their studying. It is best to set time aside and do a little bit each day. People in college have ~o learn what their priorities are and get them in line. College is a place for learning and students should do their work before they ckcide to party.

"Know what has to be donl!," Carter Craigie, professor of English and communications said. "Stick to what you say you are going to do.'' Craigie' s advice includes not studying for more than an hour on any one particular subject. He said it is best to try to get a study group together with people who are doing well in the class. ''The most efficient learning comes with interspersed repititions,'' Bobbie Rubin said.

Cramming can really improve a students chances for getting a better grade ckpending on the student. It also depends on the subject and the type of test being studied/or. It is _a lot easier to study for a chapter test than a final exam. Some students work better under pressure. It is best to study the subject from the minute you get the assig~nt and just refresh it in your mind the night before the ",,.

''Cramming brings everything from the beginning of the semester in the back of your brain to the front and ii refreshes your memory," Craigie said. " My definition of cramming is reviewing and reciting over and over again until yod learn the information.''

•'Cramming is not good,'' Carlos Chammoro, senior, said. "Especially if you are doing it cold and have no idea what you are about to study. It is impossible to absorb an entire semesters OntOWlt of work in a short pmou.nt of ti1M.'' Trish Fitzgerald, senior, also belives cramming is ineffective beCOIISe''you will be tired whenyou are taking the test.''

' 'If you have not been preparing on a regular basisit is good t!)cram," Rubinsaid.

"A link bit of crammingis better than nothing at all. If you feel competent abolll the information you studied an unexpected test question can be answered with logic.

A crt11111Mr is more likely to experience test anxiety.

People cram every semester and then say they'llneverdo it again, bllltheydoitmiyway.

People just get behind and they haveto pull allnighlers. Saying you will never do it again is a lot easier than actually not doing it. Students find otherthingstodoandthatiswhytheyhave to do the all-nighlers.

Ellen Battersby, sophomore, experie>rceda ho"ible a/1-nighter last year. ''Last year I had three french papersdue and/ had to write and type them. I was up until 5:00a.m.andthenl had to dootherwork. Iran out of ink in the typing cartridge and I left an important paragraph out on one of the pages.

J ended up getting the paper done blll the next day J slept through all my classes.'' ''Students should consolidate all ofthe information by going to the syllabus and picking out the main concepts of the material studied," Rubin said. "It is good to look at where the course has been and where it has brought you.

A good thing to do is to try and predict questions that will be asked and look for the answers to those questions. You should test yourself before the exam to find your personal weak areas and then concentrate on those aspects.'• SofM general information that can be help/uJfor cramming is to recognize that it is not thesameasltarning. It is more work because ii talceslonger to learn information when you are under pressure. The purpose of cramming is to make tJtebest of a bad situation.

The'90s:

The next decade holds no definite The last in a series of five focusing on ¡the last decades of this century Editor's Note: As we approach in the '90s, Loquitut has taken a look back at the past decades to understand where we have been . We are now going to explo;e the future to see what the '90s will bring.

by Kevin George One day soon you're going to wake up, look at the calendar, and say, "I'm living in the 1990s, already?"

Yes, already.

Then you'll reflect, ''Gee, the '80s went fast."

Yes, they did.

"Hold it, I'm not ready yet. How should I wear my hair? What will I wear?" you'll ask. .

It's too late for all that, you'll just have to wait and catch up on the latest trends after they've become fads. That is, unless you read this article and believe in preparing for the future.

You can get ready for tomorrow

Although negative responses outnumbered positive 5 to 1, students see the recent changes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union as good omens. Students are worried that mudslinging campaigns and unethical finger-pointing will increase before it gets better. But they predicf a bright future in nuclear disarmament and improved relations with the Soviet Union.

Everyone surveyed agreed that the present state of social values is in bad shape. But the outlook for tomorrow's society is mixed; some believe 'â&#x20AC;˘ we will clean up our act,'' and "get back to basics," while others see a future without values at all. Those who look for positive changes see the '' death of the yuppie" ahead and a younger generation with more respect for premarital sex and less drug abuse.

Musically, and perhaps socially, students still believe "rock 'n roll will never die," but some predict there will be a rebirth of activist music: "like the sixties." Others see the only rebirth coming from

In sports, like politics, the recent corruption scandals seem to have tempered student attitudes toward the future. Most sport fans bet on another decade of corruption and multi-sport athletes, a la Bo Jackson. many different ways. You may follow Nancy Reagan's advice and read your horoscope, or Jeanne Dixon's and buy those supermarket tabloids. Or you can listen to your peers and get the inside track on what they' 11be doing in the next 10 years.

Students Speak of Their Future The following paragraphs summarize the findings from a student survey that was taken to find out what Cabrini students believe the next 10 years hold in store.

In politics, students see corruption today, but hope for tomorrow.

the continuation of the current glut of remake-music into the next decade.

In sports, like politics, the recent corruption scandals seem to have tempered student attitudes toward the future. Most sport fans bet on another decade of corruption and multi-sport athletes, a la Bo Jackson.

Several predict a mixed future for Philly sport teams: championships in football, "cellarville" in baseball.'

Students, along with the professional economists can't agree on the future of America's economy (see bull and bear charts). Students

were asked if they believed they will have a hard time finding a career after graduation. The answers were split: half say they will have di[ficulty, half don't.

When 'talk.in' 'bout their generation, these college students have an overwhelming sense that they have the power to change the future. Like their responses on society, the surveyed students believe the present "me" generation has lost track of its values, but when considering their own generation, positive outlooks outnumber negative ones, 3 to l. Those who believe they can change things say there will be a reaffirmation of' 'family'' values and "sexual awareness."

They also predict their generation will come to grips with the problems that previous generations have created.

"I think our generation has to make a change for the better. I think evefltually we'll all grow up and start doing what is needed to make our world a better place,'' 23 yearold male.

Another way to prepare for tomorrow is to consult "experts" in their personal fields of knowledge. Here, we present a collection of what the professionals expect in the 1990s.

On the Campus Colleges will be faced with challenging years in the very near future, especially small institutions like Cabrini. Currently, there has been a drop in the college-age population which will continue until the mid '90s when the ba~y ''boomlet" -children of baby ¡ boomersbegins graduating high school.

Until then, universities and colleges will continue fighting for freshmen, but Cabrini won't, according to its Admission Director, Nancy Gardner who also serves on the master planning committee.

With full dorms already, Cabrini is planning to "hold the line" on growth, to a rate of about 1.5 percent, Gardner says.

What's Your American Dream?

This is a sampling of student responses to a Loquitur poll.

"I didn't know there was one of them anymore," female, 2j.

"Living comfortably with someone who compliments me, raising and being close to my children, involving myself in the world around me," male, 19.

"Being happy in whatever I do. Jt will not matter how much money or if I'm alone as long as I'm fulfilled in what I do," male, 20.

"To be in love with the best girl in the world, to be Hke Bob Costas and to own the best sportsbar since Smokey Joe's, to be happy is the ultimate dream," male, 2T "Find a suitable companion to share the rest of my life with and have a successful and fulfilling career and have two children and live comfortably with good health," female, 20. the school will concentrate on building new dorm space and improving services to the existing student body.

A new dorm is planned to open in '92 or '93 and after that the planning committee seesoverall enrollment growing to 1000 students.

By then, the school's planners also hope to have a more diverse student body as well. Gardner reccommends the school's minority enrollment grow at two percent over the next five years, but she added there will be no quotas set.

Male enrollment is intended to grow from 24 percent this year to 40 percent in five years.

Women in the '90s.

The future of American women

will be a key issue in the next decade. Who will be the happy women in the 1990s? Will it be the career women who foresake all the conventional roles of women and liberate themselves to realize their own potential? Will it be those who have tasted the business world, didn't like dropping their kids off at day care every day, and now have returned to the PT A? Or will it be those who do both? Is it possible to do both, adequately, today?

The women of the '90s will be looked at as the generation that either wins the battle for equal rights or loses it.

One thing is clear, it is not over.

Women still make 66 cents to a man's dollar. Those th_atwork full

Their have undoubtably been gains in sexual equality from the women's·movement of the early 70s, but tomorrow's adult women willbe the ones who have to deal with the positive and the negative results of those changes.

The early benefits may have produced a complacent generation of women who won't identify with those who fought to win them those rights, "feminists," but nonetheless expect equality in society.

The recent recharging of the abortion issue may change all that.

The Supreme Court's Webster decision increased the membership of the National Organization for Women, NOW, by 100,000.

Women's issues in the '90s won't be centered on equality of the sexes but just treatment for those women who are now struggling to ballance the roles Qf father and mother.

More than half of poor families in America are headed by single women. For women in poverty and in the middle class, day care and maternity benefits will be the major issues in the '90s.

It appears, the '90s woman will not be fighting for equal rights, but human rights.

Workinginthe'90s The employment outlook is important since most of you will become "college educated" anu, at least briefly, unemployed in the next decade.

If the movie, "The Graduate" were remade for today, Gene Hackman would not whisper "plastics" into Dustin Hoffman's ear, he'd probably shout "healthcare."

Ten of the 15 fastest growing jobs for the next decade are in healthcare. The reason: there are more and more old people in the country than ever before. Today, about 12 percent of the population is either 65 or older, by the year, 2030 it will be around 20 percent.

Just to keep up with the present pace we'll need to add 220 nursing

home beds every day from now until the year 2000.

But if you can't see yourself taking care of the elderly or sick, the next best word of advice would be 'diversify.' Long-term survival for tomorrow's work force depends on the worker's ability to adapt to a technology-driven, world-wide, market-sensitive economy.

The bright side to the boom of geezers is that there will be fewer and fewer young people around to do all the work; that translates into low unemployment and high pay for younger generations.

The opportunities will increasingly come in the service sector of the economy - jobs like fast food, retail sales and business services.

The US Department of Labor estimates there will be 20 million new service jobs by the year 2000, most of those part-time. At the same time, the manufacturing industry will loose 800,000jobs, due in part to America's inability to compete in the world-wide manufacturing industry.

Not everyone will be working with french fries though. The labor department says higher education will become increasingly necessary for employment. Currently only 22 percent of all jobs require a college degree, in the '90s that will rise to 33 percent.

"My favorite part is in the middle when Frosty plays with all the children,'' Harris said. ''The sledding down the hills, the marching through the downtown streets, and the music gets you in the Christmas spirit."

Harris believes Frosty is important to the holiday season because it takes a snowman, which in real· life is an inanimate object, and brings him to life by placing a magic black top hat upon his head.

"It's the magic of having things come to life that is the spirit of Chritmas,'' Harris said.

Clyde LaForest, sophomore, remembers how much he looked forward to watching the holiday specials when he was a kid.

"I wish other things would not come up, like assignments and exams during some of the Christmas specials," LaForest said. "There is still the kid inside of me that enjoys them."

Many students on campus also commented on how the cartoons and specials have changed so much since they were children.

Gail Rabstein, freshman, does not like the way many of the cartoons make fun of Santa. '"Ziggy's Christmas' shows a bad image of Santa to children,'• she said. ''They show him as a man dressed up in a costume with nothing special or magical about him.''

LaForest does not agree with what the networks have done to the older cartoons over the years.

'Twas the story behind

Christmastraditions...

by Carrie Corr The true meaning of Christmas sometimes gets lost in the hustle and bustle of today's society. When Christians think of Christmas, they think of tradition. Christmas Eve dinner, opening that one present before bedtime, waking up extra-early Christmas morning, and the wonderful bliss they experience when it is time to open up the gifts.

What about the Christian meaning behind the symbols of Christmas? Why do they put up a Christmas tree? Why are Christmas colors red and green? What do candy canes have to do with Christmas? With Christmas just a few weeks away, it may be important to know some of the reasons Christians do what they do during the holidays.

The Christmas Tree. The tradition of the Christmas tree was brought to this country

by German-speaking immigrants. The Christmas tree is an "evergreen" and is one of the few trees that does not die in the winter. For this reason it is a symbol of everlasting life, the precious gift from Jesus to all believers.

The Christmas Candle. Candles have long been a part of the tradition of the Gatholic Church. The candles they bum at Christmas remind them of their own Baptism and their own adoption as God's children.

The Star. The star is one of the most popular symbols ofChristmas.Manypeople top their Christmas trees with a star. The star Jed the Magi to the crib of the new born King.

The star can remind Christians that they are invited to come to Christ and offertheir gifts to Him. Ornaments. Decorating the Christmas tree with ornaments comes from an old European custom when ornaments were made from cookies and bread. These were hung on the tree in thanks for "our daily bread," and they also meant a special treat for children.

Christmas Bells. Bells have been used for hundreds of years to call people to an event. Church bells call people to wor-

ship. The bells of Christmas have special meaning, for they sing out: "Your Savior is at hand, your freedom from sin is here!"

Santa Claus. Santa Claus seems to overshadow the true meaning of Christmas and there is a sad irony in this since he is really Saint Nicholas. He was generous to the poor and always gave his gifts secretly, we are told. In imitation of him, anonymous gift-giving at Christmas time began.

The Wreath. Christ's victory over evil on the cross is also symbolized by a wreath.

Christians are reminded of the crown He wore, how Jesus paraded through the streets of Jerusalem for all to see and how He struggled with sin and death on the cross.

The Candy Cane. On that sacred night when Jesus was born, in a stable near the hillsides ofBethlehem, some shepards were invited by the Angel to go and see the newborn Messiah of Israel. Their crooked shepard staffs have been memorialized in the candy canes which decorate Christmas trees and fill the stockings of children.

Christmas Colors. Red and green are the most used colors at Christmas time. In the tradition of the church these colors have special meaning. Red symbolizes the blood of Christ and the martyrs who loved God and remained faithful to him. Green is the color of hope and has al ways been a sign oflife and growth and nature. Love and hope are very much a part of the Christmas story, for God became human to prove His deep love for Christians and give them hope of eternal life.

Holly. Garlands and sprigs of holly are used to adorn homes, churches and public places. Long ago, the sharp thorns and red berries reminded Christians of the suffering for which the infant Messiah was destined.

They saw in the thorns the crown which would pierce His head, and the berries remind them of the blood He would shed.

Christmas. Christmas is a word that we see and hear so often through the season, yet many are hardly aware of its origin. Christmas is a combination of two Latin words: Christus and missus. These two words mean: Christ is sent. Sent where? Into the world by the loving Father who wishes to give His children the most precious gift of all ... His only Son.

Do you knowall the words?

HARK! THE HERALDANGELS SING Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the newbornKing; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.

Joyful all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th' angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in bethlehem.

Refrain: Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newbornKing.

Christ, by highest heav'n adored;Christ, the everlastingLord; l..Atein time beholdHim come, Off-springof the Virgin'swomb.

Dreamsof Santa dance in their heads

by Carrie Corr Christmas is a time of celebration, giving and sharing. In the tradition of the saint, Nicholas, Christians have come to know the magical, jolly old man with a white beard and red outfit as Santa Claus.

Santa Claus is by far one of the most popular symbols of Christmas and credit for that can go to the children.

You are young only once, and even though Christmas has become a bit overcommercialized, nothing can take away that warm fuzzy feeling you get when a child's face lights up from getting that "perfect" gift. Their joy and excitement is what Christmas is all about.

A spontaneous visit to the Children's School here at Cabrini provided some very genuine and enlightening responses to some Christmas questions. Brighteyed and eager to talk about Christmas, the children sat around their snack table and let their imaginations go wild.

Were you naughty or nice? "I was kind of naughty," said Matt Sutherland, 4. "I spilled my lemonade all over the table when I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. Is that naughty?

Because it was only a mistake."

"I was nice all year," said Becky Briskin, 4. "I can'trememberdoinganything... well maybe, does sticking your tongue out count?"

What's your favorite part of Christmas? "I like getting up and seeing all of the pretty presents under the tree when I wake up,'' said Christa Schmidt, 3.

"I like the toys!!!,'' said Sam Dalke,5.

Who's your favorite reindeer? The unanimous response, "Rudolph!"

What is your favorite Christmas song?

"I like 'Frosty the Snowman,"' said Daniel Zurek, 4. "I also like' Jingle Bells' and 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town."'

What is the one present you would like Santa to bring? "Well, a new drum set,'' Matt said. ''You see, last year I got a drum and it was small. It didn't have a

foot pedal or even a cymbal. I'm bigger this year so maybe Santa will bring a "real" drum set this year."

What do you leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve? "Oreo cookies and milk,'' Christa said. "My dad says that Santa likes Oreos." ''Christmas tree cookies, chocolate chips and beer," Becky said. "Santa probably likes beer."

The final question was to Brian Johnson, 4. What is the one special wish you would like to ask Santa? He replied, "I'm not telling, it's for Santa!"

What do you leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve? "Christmas tree cookies, chocolate chips and beer. Santa probably likes beer."

A meal ticket for Cabrini's cafeteria entitles each student to 19 meals per week, eight months per year. This fee is included in the room and board fee, regardless of wh~t a student eats in the cafeteria, and how often they eat there.

Why must students pay for food that they may not even eat?

Why does it cost the same to run into the cafeteria for a banana and a Coke as it does to eat a full meal?

Is this the best meal plan the school can come up with, or is there possibly an alternative?

Of the $4,350 this school's students pay for room and board for the 1989-1990 school year, approximately $650 of that is used for the meal plan. This averages out to approximately five dollars per person per day that Seilers (the catering company employed by Cabrini to operate the cafeteria) has to spend on its meals.

Anna Marie Mimms, senior, member of the Food Committee explains that Seilers, in fact, relies on the students who don't show up to every meal to help defer costs.

What about the idea of having more than one meal plan option (example: 10, 15, and 19 meals per week )?

According to Frank Emmerich, sophomore, head student representative on the food committee, more than one meal plan would mean that the system would have to be computerized to determine who has which plan as they enter the cafeteria. '' There• s talk of having a 10or 15 meal plan.

It's being investigated," said Emmerich, "It would have to be much more monitored.

This way, we keep a family-like atmosphere.

You can just walk into the cafeteria with relatively no hassle."

Emmerich also said that many of the people involved with the food committee feel that offering a 15 meal per week option would reduce the amount of people who stay on campus during weekends. "We have problems keeping them here the way it is," Emmerich said.

What about commuters? Are they confined to the Wig-Warn because they don't live on campus?

According to Bill Schellinger, sophomore commuter, this isn't the case at all.

Schellinger participates in a lunch card program. This entitles him to five lunches per week for $155 each semester. Schellinger is pleased with this option and claims that he gets his money's worth.

"With my lunch card, I get more for my money than I would at the Wig-W am, I get to meet residents and spend time with my friends, I get more of a variety here, too. It's good food and good company,•' Schellinger said.

Kelly Reed, another commuter, eats lunch in the cafeteria because she feels that the Wig-Wamistoocrowded.

She feels that the meal plan as it is now does mean that money is wasted with each missed meal, but that it would be too complicated to pay for each meal one a time.

Why aren't there other meal options?

John Barclay, chief financial officer, feels that he may not be comfortable encouraging students to eat less that the nutritionally recommend three meals per day by offering them a less expensive option. ''To allow students to get by with only one or two meals per day defies the concept of education, nutritional education,'' Barclay said,.

Barclay said that one of the primary reasons there aren't any other meal plans now is that it simply wasn't a part of the original negotiation or contract. ''The people who made up the contract aren't here now. A new option can be discussed. I'm willing to work with Bill (Haile, director of food services) if he thinks it's worth it."

Is It possible to get other meal plans instituted?

"I have no real opinion one way or the other," Barclay said, " Maybe it would be beneficial to look into alternate meal plans.

I'm willing to listen to suggestions, and look into it."

Barclay also stated that ultimately, the consumer pays for everything, and that any changes would eventually come out of the students pockets.

What does Seilers have to say?

Marion Linke, Assistant manager for food services, said that she has worked in other schools where there were several meal plan options. However, those schools had many more students enrolled. She recalled that one of the schools she worked at had l 0,000 residents. Even on the weekends, she remembers feeding 1,000 to 2,000 students per meal. She said that it makes sense to have several options at schools that size, but a school this size couldn't afford to have several meal plans.

"Bigger schools have lots of options because they can afford to. Small schools with options means that the students end up paying a fortune," Linke said.

Titroughout the years, at different schools, students complain about the food in their cafeteria. Cabrini is no exception to the rule. Some complain to no end, and never get results. Should they get results? Are the cooks doing the best they are capable of doing? Is the food better or worse on the weekends?

"I live on cereal," said John Osborn, sophomore. "I wouldn't go and eat in the cafeteria if I had food in my room. But I have no money, so I have no food. Also, it is such a hassle to if you want two entrees. You are only allowed to get one, and if you want another one, you have to get in the back of the line again! '' Sophomore, Mary Shimkus also eats cereal every weekend.

"It seems like they have the same menu every weekend," she said. ''I like the salad, but it looks worse on the weekends. You could go out and get your own food, but it ruins your meal plan.''

Food

Student~ find alternatives to please taste buds

by Karen Dumorney There seems to be a tremendous amount of money being spent by the residents here at Cabrini. This is a result of students not being completely satisfied with the meals served in the cafeteria. Residents hav_efound ways to overcome this problem.

Some have decided to cook for themselves with the use of microwave ovens, toaster ovens and even stoves. Some have taken another route in solving this situation - they order out. Whatever the case might be, they have foundways to eat what suits their taste buds. Indeed in frontofyour very eyes there are students who live on campus who cook during the week. They can be found in all residence halls and in their rooms.

But who are these chefs and where can they be found. They are your colleagues. Some may be your friends, some may be acquaintances, however, to a certain extent, they are creative individuals.

Residents here cook fornumerous reasons. Some don't like what they're being served in the cafeteria. Some say that mealtime conflicts with their schedule. Others say they are so used to home cooking that eating anywhere but home, is like eating baby food all over again. Whatever the case might be, they cook for a reason.

Marco Gittens, senior, cooks because he enjoys it.

Butmostly it'sbecausehegets late night cravings that lead into temptation.

"I eat here in the cafe, and then, late a~ night, I eat again because late at night I get hungry," he said. "Instead of eating junk food, I just whip up a nice good hot meal. I cookjust about every night. I make pepper steak, spaghetti

and meatballs and all that other good stuff."

Che Perry, sophomore, said that he cooks every night in his microwave because mealtimes sometimes conflicts with his schedule and because he prefers what he has in his room to what they're serving in the caf. But mainly he cooks because he enjoys cooking.

"I like cooking myself because the food is hot and usually when I go to the caf it's warm and I don't want warm food, I want hot food,'• he said. With a serious look on his face, he said "I share my food with no one."

Michelle Jones. junior, cooks at least twice a week because she said the food here is very weak.

She cooks as an alternative because they don't cook what she likes in the caf.

"I once came in the caf with the intentions on eating soul food," she said. "By that I mean collard greens and black-eyed peas and they didn't have it.''

She further said that they don't have a variety to choose from especially when it comes to ethnic foods so as a result, she cooks because they don't have what she Iikes to eat.

On the other hand, Nick Ostrowski, junior cooks from a different perspective. He cooks about five times a week on an average. He says that the food in the caf is too high in fat, too saturated and has entirely too much cholesterol. In addition, he cooks because he says it's a good way to watch what you eat.

"The food here has too much grease," he said intensely.

Roe Wellman, senior, cooks at least seven times a week: because she is on a special diet and the food that they serve in the caf is not appropriate for her diet.

In addition, she is able to cook: her food the way she wants it and as a result of that, knows what she is putting in it.

However, Wellman is not the only person who feels this way.

Ostrowski is very skeptical when it comes to eating in the cafe. "I enjoy eating in the caf, but I'm not too sure about the conditions here," he said. "I don't know what they 're doing back there."

Perry said that he enjoyed eating in his room because there he would have privacy and can enjoy the comfort of watching television as well as eating at the same time in a relaxed atmosphere.

Christi Courseault, senior, said that she cooks about three times a week. Like many, she cooks as an alternative to eating in the caf. But when she cooks, she cooks. She makes spaghetti and meatballs, hamburgers, macaroni, and even gumbo, which is a dish that they make back home in New Orleans where she's 'crom.

She said that she cooks because she has to eat.

Jacqui Lashay, junior, said that she very seldom goes to the caf. On an average, she eats in the caf once or twice a week.

When she's not eating there, she is found cooking in her room. She on the other haild cooks because she has a stom- Barbara Burpulis demonstrates the art of cooking for yourself in one of the ach problem. which is a result houses. (Photo by Giselle Bellanca) of her being a picky eater.

Weekend from 12 On the other hand, the meal plan doesn't exactly fit some schedules.

Besides school work, one might be involved in activities such as, the Student Government Association (S.G.A.), work or meetings.

"My schedule doesn't worlc well around the cafeteria's hours. I usually go out and get food,'' said Jeff Foley,'; junior. "The food is lousy during the week and twice is bad on the weekends."

Others have the same problem about the food being twice as bad on the weekends. ''The food is bad 24 hours, seven days a week,'' said Scott Miller, freshman. "The eggs taste like mashed potatoes, the bacon is hard and dry, and the orange juice is too watered down. The ice cream

is probably the best meal because you can't mess up ice cream."

Sophomore Julie McKee feels the same way as Miller.

"I wouldn't call it food," she said. ''On the other hand, I can understand it's not their fault because they are short staffed on the weekends."

Not only is there a problem with the food. but according to sophomore Ellen Battersby. there are maintenance problems too. ''They let too many things go,•' she said. ''The soda sometimes doesn't taste right, at times there's no ice and the milk drips," The salads are good. I can usually find something I like."

Chris Renzulli, junior, is on the other end of the spectrum.

"The

food is not bad at all,"

"I wouldn't call it food.

On the other hand, I can understand it's not their fault because they are short staffed on the weekends."

-Julie Mc Kee, sophomore Renzulli said. "The stuffed shells and mashed potatoes are the best. I sometimes go up for seconds."

Another person who agrees with Renzulli, is the manager of Seiler's, Bill Haile. Haile recently joined

the staff and is working to ensure that the services are up to par.

Despite his attempts to make the food appropriate, students still complain. Haile stated that the main reason why the food is the way it is on the weekends is because they are short staffed.

"Since there are only about half of the population left on campus during the weekends, we offer a different and modified menu,•' Haile said. ''We try to incorporate breakfast and lunch in the same hour and then have dinner from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. The deli bar is self serve on the weekends and we use some of the left-overs from during the week to substitute.

Students often make complaints about the food among

themselves. One way to prevent the complaints, Haile said, is to taste test the food.

"If something isn't right, even maintenance problems, we make a move right away," he said. "We see if things are out ahead of time and check to see if everything is correct. We always have enough food in case something runs out.

We also have a backup supply of food to substitute meals.'• Haile, along with the employees of Seiler's, are working on ways to satisfy everyone. Ideas on a better bunch and new ways of setting it up are being thought of and are on the way. Any suggestions, comments, or complaints are welcome on their suggestion board

Athletic money slipping into the red gradually

by Kelly Reed What could you do with $21,000?

You could buy yourself a big boat.

A really cool car.

Put a hefty down payment on a house.

Could you run a successful athletic program that has 13 competitive teams all trying to be the best they can be?

This is the question that John Dzik, athletic director, had to ask himself again this year.

Is it possible to have competitive NCAA Division III teams on a budget that only allots $1,615 to each team for the whoie year?

The entire athletic budget for this year is $123,000. Of that $123,000, $83,000 is appropriated to the salaries for the coaches, money for home officials and for students with work study awards.

Another $12,000 goes toward staff benefits such as disability and health insurance.

Other expenses that are incurred during the year include $5,000 for athletic equipment, money for the bookstore, all of the various teams' travel expenses and expenses from recruiting new athletic talent for Cabrini.

The van that the tell{Tlsuse to travel to games costs the department $23,000 between the gasoline and the rental fees.

That leaves a grand total of approximately $28,000 for the department's operating expenses, of which $7,300 is tied up in the van rental.

In reality, that leaves $21,000 for the various operating expenses of the 13 teams. Although Cabrini is a small college, it has a minimal amount of funds left for operating expenses compared to colleges of its same size.

According to "The Winning Edge," by Francis and James Kilpatrick, Rosemont College has an operating expense account of over $47,000 for its athletic teams.

Frostburg State, a state-supported school, has an operat-

ing budget of $470,000. Salisbury State, also state-funded, has a budget of- $340,000. However, both schools do have a football team.

Albright College, a division III school, thoµgh not an ESAC conference opponent, has an operating expense budget of $500,000.

This increase in budget includes an attempt to get some funds for areas that have no funding at present.

Expenses such as training supplies, whirlpools, bandages, the fitness center, weights, intramurals, the athletic awards banquet and the pre-season athletic camps all have no budget lines. No definite monies are set aside for them because there isn't any money available. ''The team wasdisappointedthatwedidn't have a single overnight invitational this season, but the money just wasn't "When the athletic department has there," said Tom O'Hora, the cross country coach. "The 20 percent of the student body · team bought new uniforms about two years ago, but we had about 15-20 of our warm-ups stolen last year, and there involved in intercollegiate sports, wasn't money to replace them in the budget, we look like it is definitely a marketing tool ragamuffins. '' I think that Dzik has done a remarkable job of trying to for the college, and part of its run this department on a budget that is 'below a shoestring.''' attractions."

Gerry Szabo, the women's volleyball coach, said, "We - John Dzik are lucky because, we are allowed to keep the proceeds from USVBA (United States Volleyball Association) amateur tournaments, so whatever the budget can't give us, we can make for ourselves. We have three sets ofuniforms, warmThe biggest surprise of all is Eastern College, Cabrini's rival. Eastern has an operating budget of more than $86,000 ups, and some of the finest equipment we can get."

Reggie Day, coach of the men's and women's tennis and is in the same division, same conference, and right across teams, said, "I am pretty happy with what we have, we the street from Cabrini. finally have tennis courts and our equipment is in good "Dzik asked for $122,721 for the athletic budget, and he shape.'' was granted $123,976," said Dean of Students Robert "If anything, I would like to see a proviso, under which Bonfiglio.

ports in the '90s: for better or for worse?

by Chris Pesotski Well, Monaco's talkingabout the '80's, so I guess I'll wander into my ivory tower and prognosticate about the '90's.

Sports will continue to be big business.

Making a buck ispartoftheAmerican Dream, and entreprenuers are going to grab up every cent fans are willing to fork over. 1bat'U mean higher ticket prices, more events on pay-per-view, and skyrocketing player salaries.

Why are players going to make so much? As the level of mediocrity in all sports rises, the value of tJue stars will become more and more astronomical.

Fans will pay to see a Gretsky or a Mattingly, even if the rest of their teammates belong in the minors. Additionally, players hold the power. If they go out on strike, the owner's currently bottomless pockets suddenly dry up. Look for more strikes in all sports in the coming decade.

Sounds pretty bleak doesn't it? Well. takeheart armchair athletes of America.

Some really exciting developments will come along in the next 10 years.

How about year-round football, NFLstyle? Yeah. ThatWorldFootballLeagueis going to make it All of the money the NFL is going to sink into it will buy a few big TV contracts.

People have proven (myself included)thatthey'llpaytosee anything. I'd imaginefans will eat up spring food,all played by over-the-hill veterans and NFL draft rejects. We all loved ''Football Follies and Baseball Blunders" didn't we?

What will make this fly when all of the other leagues before it flopped? Money, money, and more money. These guys don't have to compete with the NFL,they're apart of it. Look for this idea to tum ifuo the longawaited minor league of the NFL. Baseball may even make some winter appearanceson the boob tube in the '90's.

The Old Phogies League down in Florida will probably get a winter TV contract, giving guys gracefully called veterans, another shot at some glory.

I know I'll be watching. I'd dojust about anything to seeCarlton throw againor watch Manny Trillo and Johnny Bench work their defensive magic. These new leagues are for suckers like me and Gudas who will watch a great gameand guys like Bench, no matter how skilled the players are.

By Lord Stanley, hockeylooks like it will become a major sport in the '90's. All of the rough-cut, cute young stars attract the teenage girls. With them come their boyfriends. The drop-the-gloves and bash the other guy's brains out tactics pull in the macho men who just Jove the crushing tackles of football. Now if they could just fmd a way to make that stupid little puck easier to see on television. the NHL would have network contracts pouring in.

On the college scene, basketball will continue its trend to Dick Vitale's "slammin' and jammin''' style. Defense will take a backseat to scoring. Soundsa little like the NBA, doesn't it?

No changes in college football, unfor-

tunately. Except bigger, bigger, and bigger. Half-million fan stadiums, cocaine orgies, lower and lower graduation rates.

TV sponsorswill make even moremoney, as America blindly accepts Saturdayafternoon disgraces.

Players of the '90's? How about anyone who stays off drugs, doesn't gamble on his

games, is happywith his contract, sleeps with just his wife. andhas some fun entertainingus? Somehowa few gentlemenwill surfaceon the playingfields.

Bo Jacksonis a truly great athlete,and will inspire others to attempt to play two sports at once. But betting this is a short-lived fad. Jacksonwill tire of the constanthitsandlowerpayof theNFI.The Raiderswill lose himwithinthe next two years.Basesball,however,will profit This guyhaswhatit takesto beone of thegreat

ones.

Well. thereit is. The'90's as I see them.
