Feds 'get tough'with stâ–Ądents

by Kelly Reed Defaults on Guaranteed Student Loans have risen to the point of forcing the federal government into taking action against students and institutions that are not paying back the loans.

"Here at Cabrini I would say that 99 percent of the students who have loans are paying them back," Kelly Jennings, Cabrini's loan officer said.

Since 1965, the federal government has helped millions of students pay for their education by guaranteeing loans made by pri-

vate lenders. Guaranteed Student Loans, also known as the Stafford Loan allow students to borrow from $2625 to $4000. Payment of the loan begins six months after graduation.

According to U.S. News and World Report of those loans there is approximately $53 billion worth that was borrowed by 24 million students that are now currently in default.

The government has devised ways in which to get these "deadbeat" borrowers to repay their loans.

From confiscating tax refunds,

to reporting them to credit agencies, to the extreme of prosecuting them, the government has taken a "get tough" policy with the defaulters.

The default rate here at Cabrini is a low three percent as compared to other colleges where the default rate is as high as 25 percent.

For students who attend colleges with high default rates, getting a student loan is becoming more difficult.

Housing

List to help alleviate crunch

by Carlo Jacono Working with the handicap of not having an additional residence hall, the admissions and resid~nt life departments have been forced to use the tool of the waiting list earlier than ever before this year.

The March l start is one month earlier than last year and over a month sooner than the prior year.

Prospective students who enrolled at Cabrini before the March-I deadline were guaranteed housing.

Those who entered after that date were placed on the waiting list. As of March 27, zero males and six women are on the list.

"Resident life gives us a round number of returning students which in tum we trim down to allow for flexibility," Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, said.

That number started at 29 beds open for males and 90 for females.

That number swelled to 41 and 91, respectively, with the reconfiguration of housing for next fall.

The reconfiguration took the form of moving the majority ofretuming men out of Xavier and into another house on residential boulevard. Seventy-two percent of residents on campus are female, while 28 percent are male.

The lottery process for returning residents that ends March 30 will detennine the final numberofopen beds.

There are 490 full-time residency spaces on campus, and with the assumption that 354 students are returning, that leaves 136 open beds. If the lottery process (with each returning resident having to submit a $100 deposit by March 30 to guarantee housing) shows more spaces, than the number of open

beds grows. ''It is important to stress to those returning students who do not get in their $ 100 deposits by March 30 that they will not, or it will be difficult, to get housing in the fall," John Doyle, director of residence life, said.

The lottery process is earlier than usual this year due to the enrollment management committee's request. The reason for the sooner date is that this year's lottery is essential in detennining the number of freshman beds. May , l is the common reply date of acceptance for freshman.

Gardner said, "The problem with the lotf!"ry being the usual mid-April date is that it is too late in giving the word to prospective students. They must know if they have a residency space.

"Prospective students will receive word on the open number of beds the first week of April this year, (at the latest April 16) which is plenty of time to decide.''

Gardner added that new students who give a deposit and don't get housing will be able to get their money back.

According to admissions, when freshman enrollment reached 25 for the men, and 80 for the women, the waiting list was enacted to allow for the flexibility of choice.

In a memo sent to department heads in late February, admissions stated that all new male residents are subject to the waiting list. All new female residents who live within 20 miles of campus are subject to the waiting list with all new women residents eventually being subjected to it. All prospec more Waiting on 5

Honeststudents are gettingcheated Quayle comesto town

by Anna-MarieKarlsen Time is running close to the end of another semester, and preparations are underway for finals. Many students want or need good grades to do well in their classes. Some students will go to great lengths to receive those grades.

In a recent anonymous poll of Cabrini students, 29 percent of the students who returned questionnaires said that they would cheat in order to get better grades.

The reasons vary from desperation, to not wanting to do the work required.

To many people, that may seem like a travesty of

education. One person's cheating may seem harmless enough, but it affects a lot of others. In some classes, the teacher may grade on a curve, and if a cheating student happens to get a high grade, the honest students begin to suffer academically.

According to the Cabrini Student Handbook, the penalties for a convicted cheater are usually decided on by the instructor. It can be as little as having the grade lowered on the paper or test, and as heavy as suspension or expulsion from the College.

"I think the major factor in cheating is that some students have a moral and ethical ambivalence about more Cheated on 4

Top priority: Freshmen or Seniors?

A change is being implemented in this year's lottery process. Current residents are preparing to solidify their residential status earlier than in the past.

This year, resident life has requested that $100 security deposit be in by today. Any current resident who does not have this fee in by this time will not be allowed to participate in the lottery. This means that there will be a slim chance for them to be granted housing for the fall semester.

The reason for moving the lottery to an earlier date is so that the pros~ctive freshmen can be told whether or not room and board will be available to them.

When the class of 1990 graduates, there will be 41 male beds and 91 female beds to accomodate incoming freshmen.

Every year resident life gives the admissions office a number of spaces available for incoming residents. Last year, when the number was given to admissions, the number of male spaces was inflated, due to the prospect of tripling rooms in Xavier.

This year, because of problems which stemmed from the overcrowding, triples will be eliminated in Xavier, except in L-shaped rooms.

One question remains. Who should be guaranteed housing? Do freshmen have priority over upperclassmen or vice-versa?

At Villanova, their housing priority lies with the incoming freshmen.

Their resident life department doesn't guarantee housing for upperclassmen.

Some Cabrini students believe that upperclassmen, especial! y seniors, are being ignored when it comes to residential preference. Although Cabrini remains committed to upperclass housing, some feel that this year's earlier lottery process is the first step in phasing out the commitment toward upperclassmen.

One alternative which is being considered is the need for a new dorm. It seems as if everyone considers this a priority, but also something that requires funding, something which we are lacking.

Perhaps these funds could be generated by the Board of Trustees.

However, not everyone agrees on the need for a new dorm. Some state that academics and athletics should be increased and strengthened before the possibility of building a new dorm is considered.

In the event that a new dorm is not built there are solutions to alleviate the housing crunch, as well as keep upperclassmen on campus.

Special interest housing could be re-defined, granting housing only to seniors who are involved in campus life and activities. This would be a reserved privilege for seniors, as well as promoting leadership.

Housing could also be decided by instituting a point system. Some institutions such as Marist College apply this system. Points are given for things such as maintaining a good grade point average and being involved in activities. Points are subtracted for not keeping a good G.P.A. and abusing privileges. These points, either acquired or subtracted, play an important role in determining housing.

As Cabrini's enrollment increases, while its residential space remains the same, the percentage of commuters will eventually surpass that of residents.

What was once a 65 percent resident institution has now dwindled to 55.

Until Cabrini locates the financial resources to build a new dorm, we will foster a commuter image which will not be consistent with the values of family which we strongly emphasize.

These are the familiar lines used by disc jockeys and student journalists when they are "On The Air," at Cabrini's own radio station, WCAB 650 AM. It's a communication medium and information outlet for Cabrini, which sometimes our college community takes for granted.

The people that work at the station, work hard and their own individual and group efforts show it. During my first three years here, WCAB was virtually non-existent. Sure it was there, but nobody really used it to its

Yes Cabrini, WCAB goes FM. There are two reasons for the station's emergence.

First, the enthusiasm, energy and hard work that the students put in is tremendous.

They get guests for their shows, they get the latest in college music on the air, they have specialty programs such as, SportsSource, The Dream Team and others and they also cover and report on campus events such as guest lecturers, athletic competitions and other club and campus organization events.

Their enthusiasm and energy especially shined brightly this past weekend, as WCAB held a 48-hour marathon to benefit Ronald McDonald House charities. In their efforts, the marathon raised close to $800-1000.

Without the music, conversation and pure zaniness, Bud Mellon and I could never have pulled this off. We thank you all!

The most important part of this emergence though has been the excellent selection by Dr. Zurek of hiring 'Bud Mellon as communications center and radio station supervisor. His energy is remarkable, his caring is incredible and his engineering is so very, very helpful. Without Bud, WCAB would not have blossomed the way it has.

Bud, I know you hate attribution, but man, you deserve it.

Unlike other radio stations in the area where it is very hard for an individual to get on the air, WCAB is accessible to all of us.

You could get on the air and not have any

radio experience whatsoever. As a matter of fact, WCAB needs more news reporters and sports staff members, so why not join up and fulfill a dream.

If the music doesn't suit your taste, WCAB will take your suggestions, criticisms, gripes and compliments into serious consideration.

WCAB understands student expression and understands the right for a studentto express his or her individual right to act like a goof, play music for an audience and just to have a really good time, as well as, an educational experience that would definitely be unforgettable.

Not bad for a mission statement, huh Dr. Zurek?

Remember, WCAB is there for us. I'm not saying to listen to it for 48-hours straight, but tune in sometime and listen to your peers & friends over the air.

Wben used right, the station could even bring about some changes and improvements for the campus and community life itself.

I just would hate to see all the energy and enthusiasm fade away next year and in future years. It's a medium of information on campus that ha~n 'JÂŁ_,v_en scratched the surface of its potential yet. It's a medium that's ready to fly into radical, conservative, informative, shock, and hysterical zaniness.

Why not give it a try?

Why not listen to something new?

Why not open your minds and support something that's beneficial to the college community?

Why not give suggestions for a new siren sound for Matt Hodlofski on his show? Talk about irritation.

Why not give a call at 971-8453?

So, go out for WCAB, volunteer your services, but most importantly, listen and support it. It's ours for the taking, so take full advantage of it.

Stepstakento improveCabrini'sresources

by Daniella LoPresti It is not uncommon to see frustrated faces roaming through Holy Spirit Library, especially around midterms and finals, according to Janet Dalberto, library director. She wants to know why.

Dalberto feels it is important to know what students think of the library and how they feel it can be improved. In trying to assess how effective the library is, an evaluation ·of the library was distributed in December via classes.

Many students, however, were unaware a survey had even been formulated.

"I don't ever remember getting · a library evaluation,'' Amy Friedman, sophomore, said.

Dalberto explained the survey was distributed during different classes to approximately 800 students. As a result of the evaluation, 184 responses were received.

"Had we left the survey on the library check-out desk, we would only have replies from those people who frequently use the library," Dalberto said.

The outcome of the evaluation, according to Dalberto, said the library is meeting the needs of most students. This is not to say all students are satisfied with the library. "When I first came here (to Cabrini) everyone raved about the library," Shelle Koller, senior, said "Frankly, it's a joke."

"We need more technology," Jenn Campolieto, junior, said.

Campolieto feels the materials need to be updated and the staff needs to be more willing to assist students. ''If the library had more materials, more students would use it. I only use it about three times a year," she said.

Campolieto and Koller are not alone in their frustrations of the library. Dalberto admits the library does need improvement but feels students should not compare a college library to a university research library such as Villanova or Widener.

"It is like comparing apples and oranges," she said.

Dalberto also suggests students explore other libraries. "Be as resourceful as you can be. After all, that is part of the college research process," she said.

The major complaint of the library was that there, ''just aren't enough books."

"The materials are inadequate especially in the education field," Laurie Miggin, sophomore, said.

Currently, the library has 89,000 volumes. That number is still well below the minimum 120,000 volumes required of a college library.

Dalberto believes it is more a problem in communication and preparation.

She suggests many students don't know what other

ends aren't staffed with librarians.

Yet, Dalberto doesn't want students to feel as though no one is ~ere to help them. "We haven't

"From there the librarian will contact the student and work to

All of the comments made on tfle evaluations were taken seriously and improvements are being made as they will continue to be, according to Dalberto. However, a budget exists which limits the amount of improvement the library can make. resource~ the library has to offer besides the 60,000- 70,000 books that are on the shelves.

"When I hear a student saying, 'the library doesn't have what I need,' I want to ask, 'what is it that you need?',' 'Dalberto said.

Even if a student doesn't find exactly what they're looking for on the shelf, Dalberto says it is still possible for that student to get what he or she needs. "If a student requests something about a week in advance, we can get it for them."

Dalberto wants students to know they are able to go to other libraries such as Villanova, Rosemont, and Widener.

Because the library works in conjunction with other various libraries; materials are able to be transferred as well as students given permission to use those libraries.

Some of the other complaints included: noisiness, Jack of staff, not enough photocopy m~chine; . and not enough hours.

The library has already begun to make improvements. Signs designating quiet areas, smoking areas and reference areas have already been put in place.

A new photocopy machine was purchased in December replacing the older photocopy machine with a more modern machine.

Dalberto doesn't see the library as "unorganized" as some claim.

She explains there are instruction sessions that are given in conjunction with faculty members. The session will show students where to look for specific assignments and how to approach certain tasks.

Another major improvement the library is making is getting more advanced equipment. In about a month the library will be getting a CDROM. There had been a question as to whether to get it in general or to get one specifically for education. The library will be getting the CDROM in general use which will supplement with psychology, sociology, and education programs.

Although, there are no intentions of getting rid of the manual typewriters, the library does expect to get a PC with a printer within the next year or so.

Since the library has extended its hours, there has been a conflict with how many days staff members are able to work.

The hours are under re~evaluation as are 'the days staff mem~rs will be working . .. Currently, the week-

relieve some of the difficulty."

Dalberto also believes students need to plan in advance for assignments. "There are other avenues to explore rather than just book

material but you have to leave yourself enough time," Dalberto said.

All of the comments made on the evaluations were taken seriously and improvements are being made as they will continue to be, according to Dalberto. However, a budget exists which limits the amount of improvements the library can make.

Not all of the problems will be solved immediately, but with the patience of both the students and faculty, Dalberto is confident the library will be a place all students turn to for resources.

New tax tips for the '90s

suited as worksheets to determine these. The end result is considered a person's taxable income.

This amount is then compared to a tax table which categorizes the status of people, their yearly income, and lists the amount in taxes each person according to these standards should have paid by April 16. If the difference is a positive total, the government is still owed money. If the difference is negative, the government owes the taxpayer a refund.

It is important to notice that tax computations for the 1989 form have been revised. The standard deductions, or the minimum amounts that can be deducted, for married couples filing jointly is $5,450. Standard deductions for single people is $3,250.

If you fulfill the criteria for being a dependent, the government allots $500 if you are claimed as such. This amount is the maximum amount, or the itemized deductions can be calculated in its place. Also, a personal ex-

As semester deadlines approach, don't forget the one set by the federal government to send in 1989 tax returns by April 16, 1990. Several tax tips have been compiled by John Barclay, Chief Financial Officer, to ease the process.

Barclay prefers the phrase, "tax reconciliation," when referring to tax returns. The concept is that no money is actually gained or lost.

In theory, all the money has already been paid to the government in the form of the federal withholding tax deducted from a person's paycheck. The total income a person makes for the year is lessened by certain amounts. For example,the government allots certain minimum standard deductions just for being a living person.

Itemized deductions can also be included, but these are optional. Specific "schedules" should be con-

is nothing wrong with cheating.'• In the fall of 1988, a survey was conducted by the American Freshman, an annual study of about 200,000 students nationwide.

the previous year.

Under an honor system, students are supposed to inform the instructor if another memberoftheclass is cheating.

But because peer pressure is so strong, most people would not "squeal" on a cheater until it is too late.

One of the biggest reasons that students feel others cheat, is laziness. One student said that the cheaters •'don't feel like putting forth the effort to think on their own." ''Cheating students are too lazy to see the academic failure, and are not willing to do the woricrequired correctly," Girard said.

About half of our polled students said that they would tum in a cheater. One student replied, "I work my butt off to study, and they go ahead and get the good

grades unfairly.''

The other half is not sure they would tum all cheaters in. A senior who had cheated in high school and/or college said that he might tum in a cheater if they did something like steal a test, but otherwise, he might just leave it alone. '· I hold other students responsible for a lot of the cheating in the classroom,'• Girard said.

Questions have risen as to how good and how serious teachers monitor test, how they take the prospect of cheating be it too seriously or not serious enough.

One student said that for the most part, teachers are able to tell that cheating exists, but that a specific few are "blind".

There are some that may say, "What is the big deal if I cheat on a test? So what?"

"What's worrisome is that a lot of these people will become leaders and they offer a very frightening prospect of how our society will be governed," Arthur Levine, chairman of Harvard University's Institute for Educational Manigement, said.

"I believe that tests should be monitored for cheating because I don't want a phannacist who was a cheater and doesn't know how to fill a prescription,'' an anonymous student said.

Nl~l\7S llllll~I~S Lithuania v. Gorbachev In seeking out Lithuanian deserters of the Soviet Red Army, armed Soviet soldiers stormed psychiatric hospitals in Lithuania's biggest cities. They found and took custody of 23 former Red Army soldiers who left their ranks after Lithuania declared its independence last week. The army has also seized eight buildings of the Communist Party throughout Lithuania. These latest actions are the first use of military force by Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in this crisis which has quickly become his number one problem both internally and externally.

Mass Graves Discovered In just four days, two mass graves have been discovered in East Germany, bringing out physical evidence of Joseph Stalin's rule over post World War II Europe. A 60-yearold East German man who witnessed the shootings helped guide authorities to the wooded sight where the skeletons ofup to400 Germans were found. Another mass grave was discovered earlier in the week which historians claim was filled with the bodies of Germans who were killed in the same concentration camps built to exterminate Jews.

Larger institutionsoften say "sorry" when the numbers game doesn't work out, whether it involves freshmen or upperclassmen. West Chester University has an open lottery process. Villanova University takes the route of assuring freshman housing in order to perpetuate the institution.

Smaller schools have solved their residential problems by building new residence balls on campus. St. Joseph's University built McShain Hall, a 250-capacity facility, in 1988. Allentown College responded to

Being on the waiting list does not mean that those prospective students are in danger of not receiving housing. According to Gardner, out of a prospective class of 210 freshman, an average of 168 request housing. With the prospect of 136 beds being open, that means that an estimated 30 prospective students will be affected. No returning students will be affected buy the waiting list.

"We are a school that does not guarantee freshman housing, thus it can be a detriment to the admissions process. There is always a chance to lose a good student (due to the tight number of available spaces),'' Gardner said.

Doyle said, "The longer a resident lives in your residence halls the greater sense of community he or she has. Thus they are role models that we want to have.

"It would be a shame if someone like Angie Corbo or Mike Tino, positive role models of the upper-class, might not get a room if we open up the lottery to guarantee

a residential overcrowding by building houses over the summer. Both of these institutions have financial and land resources Cabrini does not.

The big picture of the residential squeeze is that Cabrini still wants to continue to be a primarily residential school, according to admissions. ,!.

"We are talking a 55-57 percent residency on campus when it was in the 65 percent range not too long ago," Gardner said, "It's a concern to us."

Doyle said, "Cabrini is becoming more and more a commuter college. And not that this is bad. But ifthe.ph.ifosophy of the institution is to be a residential school, than losing your percentage of residency each year doesn't help.''

Gardner said, "U mil we get a new residence hall, the percentage of residents will go down.''

Doyle said, ''There are reasons for new housing not existing, and I know that. Sister Eileen (president) and senior staff are making very serious attempts at getting new housing.

"It's just that it is a slower process than we originally thought.''

Feds from 1 dent loans, will not lend money to students whose college has a default rate of 25 percent or more.

The reason large banks such as Citibank are putting restrictions on the loans they give out is because in years past, the government would have paid the lender back the loan if a student defaulted. Recently, the government has begun to crack down on chronic defaulters and is now refusing to foot the bill for billions of principal and interest dollars owed to commercial banks.

One way that banks are trying to insure themselves against defaulters is to hand pick the schools that they are willing to lend to.

Unfortunately, the schools with the

highest default rates are technical and trade schools whose rates are around 36 percent.

These are the students that the guaranteed student loans were initially supposed to help, the low-income students who need to borrow their tuition dollars.

These are also the students who may be hurt most by the lenders¡ decision to hand pick their borrowers.

The technical and trade schools are claiming that the banks are discriminating against their students because of the stereotype that their students will default on their loans.

The banks claim that they can not stay in business if they make bad lending decisions.

Who'sWho acknowledges1990's top seniors

by Sharlene Sephton and Charles Waterfall

The best and the brightest of the class of 1990 have been recognized by selection for Who's Who of American Colleges and Universities.

The selection process coordinated by Academic Affairs has followed the same guidelines for the past IO years. Criteria are based on academic standing, participation in extra-curricular activities, and community service.

A ballot is sentto every senior and fulltime faculty members of three years or more during the fall semester. Each person can nominate up to eight people.

After a list of all those nominated is compiled, a request for their resumes is sent. Resumes that are received are evaluated by faculty and administration, and seniors who hold office on committees and boards on campus. The candidates are then ranked on a point system from six to one. A ballot is also tallied for each organization the candidate holds a position on.

According to the number of points accumulated, the top 1/3 are selected. The list is then sent to the corporation's base in Alabama and the names are published. Official certificates are sent in the spring and are presented at Spring Convocation.

Those who have received the honor of this acknowledgement of success and accomplishment are upholding a tradition and place of pride on campus. The selected members for Who's Who of American Colleges and Universities for the year 1990 are as follows: Denise Civa A self-motivator, Civa has contributed her high standards and work ethics to her many activities.

She has shown an insatiable desire to use her best toward every challenge as acknowledgedo by· the Charles A. Mastronardi Service and Leadership Award, Lindback Service Award, and now Who's Who. "It was overwhelming, flattering, and exciting. I'm very proud people think I'm doing a half-way decent job," Civa said.

Civa cited one of her greatest learning experiences evolved through her major of English/communications. She was both a reporter and copy editor of the Loquitor before becoming Editor- in-chief her junior year.

She describes her position as ''most stressful and most joyful. I took the position as a challenge and hoped to learn about journalism and myself," Civa said.

Civa has tried to perfect her communication skills both on and off campus. She has taken advantage of the internship program and is currently working in a health care setting for her third internship.

Civa also served as the English/ communications club treasurer, public affairs director of WCAB for three years, Cryptic assistant poetry editor, DJ for the radio station, andamemberofKappaSigma Omega. She has recently been elected cam-

She sees her family, peers,and Dr. Jerome Zurek as supplementing these ideas in her development.

Civa is an adventurer and often leaves her hometown of Camden, NJ., to visit different places. Hergoal is to spend time in all 50 states. Maine is the only state on the east coast she has yet to reach. Civa also likes to write and aspires to be a novelist, although presently the field of public relations is most encouraging.

Marko Gittens The key to success is to '' set your priorities straight and then use self-discipline to get them accomplished,'' Gittens said.

Mirenda was surprised and excited about receiving the Who's Who candidacy. She couldn't waitto tell her parents back home in Malvern. ''I'm their investment," Mirenda said.

"If I didn't have friends and family, I would never have made it," Mirenda said.

"They live life by experiencing it."

LeeMirenda The countdown to graduation has begun for Mirenda. For "Burger" or "Merryweather" as her friends have nicknamed her. the last four years have left !)er with many memorable moments.

"My friends are such a diverse group.

There are a lot of different personalities. I see in them the differences that are possible," Mirenda said. "They're crazy, fun, Lisa Goldberg (photo by Kristin Kroll)

said. "I push myself to the limit."

Goldberg combines what appears to be the opposite ends of the academic spectrum through her major ofEnglish and psychology with a minor in history. Goldberg feels she made a significant difference in her life by choosing her majors.

"My schooling branched off," Goldberg said. "Dr. Young and Dr. Tomasco have been two of my biggest influences."

Her future considerations include continuing her education to get a law degree or working with public insurance cases. Her current field experience is at the Medical College of Pennsylvania where she works as a therapist assisting and interacting with emotionally, physically, or sexually abused children.

In every aspect of her life Goldberg tries to "work up to my potential. I always give 100 percent. I can always say at least I tried and made the attempt,'' Goldberg said.

DeDe Beckett "You have to stick to what you want to do. I've tried and lost and tried again. I still participated.'' Beckett said. It appears as if this student from Medford's dedicated spirit has finally paid off.

Of her successes, she lists her roles as an orientation cqu.J.W!.lor,Kappa representative, cheerleader for soccer and basketball, resident assistant, and class treasurer. Beckett has also received a business scholarship for the last two years, the Mastronardi Service and Leadership A ward, and is a member of the Honor Society and Delta Epsilon Sigma.

"I was thrilled to know my classmates, teachers, and workers see me as a leader dedicated to school spirit and not just a good student,'' Beckett said.

Of her activities, Beckett has enjoyed cheerleading the most, but sees her position of RA as most significant. "It has given me a focus for my major of Human Resource Mana ement, and it made me reali t

DeDe Beckett (photo by Kristin Kroll) and who was important to me," Beckett said.

Beckett has a dual major which also combines business administration. Her other interests ''outside'' the classroom and office include her certification as a lifeguard.

Future goals include a job similar to her co-op, working in the area of compensation and benefits. "I don't give in. If you really believe you can do something you can set your own priorities,'' Beckett said.

Colin Coakley For Coakley, receiving the award is representative of "what Cabrini is looking for. It means I have taken advantage of all the school has to offer and it has paid off in making me a whole person,'' Coakley said ..

Coakley has been an active voice on campus by working with the SGA executive board for three years, the radio station as Production Director, Campus Sound President for 2 years, the building and grounds committee, and men's volleyball team. He has also received the Charles A. Mastronardi Service and Leadership Award.

features

Colin Coakley (photo by Kristin Kroll) Colin has enjoyed all of his experiences.

"Don't be one dimensional. Take everything in and appreciate everything. Don't sell yourself short by not being open to see others' points of view," Coakley said.

Coakley often plays the bass guitar as a creative outlet and cites his varied musical interests as an example of this philosophy.

"Give yourself a chance to experience it before you make a judgment,'' Coakley said.

He views his upcoming graduation as a culmination of all his efforts. "It's all been leading to this," Coakley said, "everything not just in class and co-op.'' He also thanks his family and friends for caring enough about him to do well.

His after-graduation plans include using the experiences he's had as an English/ communications major and marketing minor to become involved in public relations on the non-profit level. "I have a class where we've been discussing non-profit organizations such as the Red Cross, and bingo, I thought it was something I'd like to do,'' Coakley said. Within such a job, Coakley hopes to do some networking and then go into business for himself.

Joyce A. Mundy With honor, Mundy received the award and feels a sense of accomplishment as her years at Cabrini are coming to a close. She is presently resident assistant (RA) at Counsel Hall and is student teaching at Archbishop Prendergast. The qualities that have attributed to Mundy's success at school and work, she feels, are those qualities that were

Joyce Mundy (photo by Kristin Kroll) responsible for her initiation.

Mundy's involvement on campus over the past four years have included field hockey, floor representative of Resident Student Association, vice-president of Woodcrest dormitory, student activities counsil, lector (campus ministry), and resident assistant. ''I feel that I've used my talents in a variety of ways and touched different areas on campus and have contributed to the ideals that Cabrini stands for," she said.

"As R.A," Mundy said, "l've been taught so much about dealing with people, being a leader, setting priorities, and given an introduction to many things that will be needed in the classroom.''

Mundy feels her high motivation, hard work, dedication to tasks, and desire to be a good teacher has contributed to her success as a student, as well. "I realize that I must be dedicated in order to be dedicated to student teaching,'' she said.

Dr. Arthur E. Youn

loquitur advisor, has also influenced her success.

She credits Young for help in the areas of personal and professional development for the past four years. "He has provided for me exactly what the ideals of what Cabrini stands for," she said. "That. would be a personalized, caring support system for students. He has been my mentor.''

Mundy's plans for the future include marriage in June, moving into a house in Horsham, Pennsylvania, and plans of finding a secondary teaching position.

Patricia A. Fitzgerald "I was really excited when I heard that I made it," Fitzgerald said. She has been impressed with those initiated into Who's Who of American Colleges and Universities since her first time at Convocation.

Trish Fitzgerald (photo by Kristin Kroll) Fitzgerald, recipient of the Mother Ursula Award this year, believes her involvement in a variety of different activities, both academic and extra-curricular, were responsible for the initiation. Her involvement included field hockey goalie, social activities class officer, social activities chair on executive board, orientation facilitator, orientation counselor, orientation coordinator, ecology club, campus ministry, Council for Exceptional Children, CARe center tutor, and student academic council.

"Social activities chair person for executive board of SGA and student coordinator for orientation have both helped me realize my potential," she said.

The qualities of self-motivation, determination, self-respect, as well as respect for others have also helped Fitzgerald reach her potential. Her motivation not only comes from herself, but from people. ''Not only people in general," she said, "but particularly my parents, my fiancee, Marty McShea, and my roomate, Meghan Kane.''

Fitzgerald's plans involve teaching emotionally disturbed adolescents, to marry June 23rd, to raise a family, then go back to teach when children are in school, and someday to become a school principal.

Claire M. DaSilva The resident assistant of Dixon House was surprised to hear that she had been chosen to be an initiated member. DaSilva admitted that she didn't expect to receive such an honor.

DaSilva believes her persistence and willingness to work hard forwhatshewants, if ittakes staying up all night, are reasons for her success as a student. The love of children and desire to teach special and elementary education has motivated her for the past four years.

DaSilva has spent much time working

f riday, march 30, 1990 with Campus Ministry. She has worked with The Walk for World Hunger, The Hunger Banquet, and Project Appalachia programs. Other activities included CEC and PSEA--state education organizations, leadership conferences, Superthon '89 and R.A. "Becoming a R.A. helped force me to be responsible and manage my time," she said. "But Project Appalachia made me in touch with myself and people."

John Doyle, director of resident life, Tyrone Carr, assistant director of resident life, and Rita Calicat, former director of student activities are very special people, according to daSilva, that have helped her develop over the years. She also credits her parents and her closest friend, Lisa Martelli.

Following graduation this year, DaSilva hopes to get a job teaching, then get a graduate degree in educational psychology O!physical therapy, and perhaps after a few years, join the Peace Corps.

Angela M. Corbo For the past three years, Corbo has respected the people who have been initiated to Who's Who, and feels honored to achieve their same level.

Corbo, a double major of English/Communications and Modern Languages and minor in Marketing, feels that Cabrini has presented many opportunities to her that she would not have at a larger school. "These opportunities have helped me grow as a student," she said.

Corbo has been active as student government president, R.A., a member of the editorial staff, Woodcrest yearbook business manager, Kappa officer, public relations, campus life committee, master planning, financial aid committee, and crosscountry. Herother interests include music, singing, writing in foreign languages, and jellybeans.

Almost everyone in contact with Corbo provideher with a motivating force. "People

Angie Corbo (photo by Sue Roux) that I work with, friends, students, administrators all motivate me to provide opportunities of entertainment and enjoyment for other students," she said. ''Dr. Zurek is the number one person that has probed me to think more than anybody," Corbo said. She also believes that the student service staff, people she has worked with in student government, supportive parents, and everyone else who has forced her to think and see things in a different way have aided her success as a student.

The Who's Who initiation has proven a promising future for Corbo, yet she believes that it will be difficult to depart with Cabrini. ''The hardest thing is leaving something that makes up 100percent of yourlife," she said.

"I don't want to lose ties that I've come so close to." However, Corbo's future career lies in either in the field of public relations or student services.

Victoria A. Daywalt The efforts of being dedicated, working hard, and demonstrating responsibility to herself and others are efforts that have attributed to Daywalt's personal success as a student. She is honored to be selected as a member and is comforted with the thought that she had not gone unnoticed.

Daywalt's other efforts included involvement with the education division

"My R.A. position would have to be the most significant event, because although I already have the inner strength to be a teacher, the programs have helped me develop,'' Daywalt said. '' All the things that I do as

Vicki Daywalt (photo by Kristin Kroll) R.A. are the things that I will do when I teach --programming in school is like a lesson, and the counseling that I have done in school has helped.''

Daywalt feels that her personality is reason for the motivation necessary for effort. "Everything is internal motivation," she said. She also credits her family, but, • 'the one who made me into the person that I am is my grandmom.''

Daywalt, an early childhood and elementary education major, hopes to find a job in teaching, go back to school for her Masters degree after graduation in education administration and, hopefully, she said. to write stories or poetry for children.

Paula PhilJips · Phillips, an English/communications major, feels privileged to be respected by faculty and fellow students and is thankful to be recognized for what she has done for the school.

Campus Theater:

Unsung heroes shining behind the spotlight

by Kelly Ann WiJliams As the lights dim in the theater on March 31 at 8 p.m., six actors will bring to life Beth Henley's written words of ''Crimes of the Heart."

Since the beginning of the second semester, actors and actresses have been busily memorizing lines and blocking scenes. But there is another aspect of theater that is equally important. This is the work that is put in behind the scenes.

Many students have been hard at work hammering nails into boards, sewing costumes, painting sets, rigging lights, and doing everything necessary in order to have the stage ready for opening night.

Of course, these individuals will not receive applause from the audience, nor will they be given a curtain call for all of their work.

So much devotion for so little credit. Susan LaPolombara, director, said, "At Cabrini, there is a handful of people who sweat blood for the technical end of theater. It takes a lot of dedication and receives little recognition.

These people are the unsung heroes of the theater. Without them, the play could never happen.''

Many would question why, with so little recognition, these students give so much of themselves. Jennifer Igoe, freshman, who is the

stage manager for the play said, "I When opening night arrives, give the theater two to four hours of . Igoe will be calling lighting, actor, work a night, six days a week." and sound cues.

When asked why Igoe said, "I Another Cabrini student who really enjoy it.

- Susan LaPolombara director great deal of responsibility with both the cast and the technical work oftheplay. "Ofcourseit's alotof work, but it's nothing that I can't handle. The entire cast is wonderful to work with. Everyone is very close and the actors are working just as hard on stage as we are off,'' Igoe said.

Igoe performs invaluable tasks at every rehearsal. ''When the actors were still reading lines from their books, I would follow and cue them if they missed a word," Igoe said. "Now that everyone knows their lines, I take notes for Susan concerning the actors performance when they are on the stage."

ing, for any play, is a difficult task.

Each character has a distinct personality, and his or her costume must meet the needs of that character."

Ryder must also assume the task of color coordinating each costume on the set. "The actors on the stage must complement each other. Each costume makes a statement about the mood of each scene and about who the actor is,'' Ryder said.

In order to accomplish these costuming tasks, Ryder has detailed a chart, marking what actors appear in scenes together. Through this chart, Ryder will be able to detect any costuming problems

Clash of diverse styles creates unique sound

by Charles Waterfall For some people, pizza without a topping just won't do.

Some things, such as plain pizza, require additional flavoring--something different, something unique--to blend into a tasteful and wonderful unit.

Case in point: For the People--a band comprised of four students on campus, each with their own background.

Together, they produce' 'a clash of diverse style that creates a sound that is entirely unique," the band agreed.

The band members consist of Frank Bressi, sophomore, Joe Martini, junior, Dan Francis, sophof\lore, and Curt Laudenberger, sophomore. Music is nothing new to them.

Frank Bressi's role in the band involves lead singing, guitar, and song writing. Before For the People, he played with a band at home called Rezistance, where his role was bass guitar. Bressi characterized his band's music as an original and alternative style.

"I was not good enough to play guitar," Bressi said. ''But after I was good enough, the band broke up, and I started on my own." He has played guitar since he was 5 years old.

Joe Martini, guitar player for For the People, was previously involved with a group called Apocalyptic Raids, "otherwise called Rich's basement," he said. The style was "thrash metal," similar to groups such as Slayer, Megadeath, and Metallica. ''The band then dissolved due to a conflict of interests," Martini said.

Between the ages of 6 and 12, Martini played the piano. It was not until four years ago that he began to play guitar.

Dan Francis continues to play bass guitar for For the People, after seven years of past experience. He has played since eighth grade, and later became involved with a high school group called Dead Can Dance. The style, according to Francis, was a cross between new age and new wave. "I was the only acoustic player in a mostly electronic band," he said.

Curt Laudenberger, the beat behind For the People, had never had a drum lesson for the five years that he has played.

His previous band, Kirkand the Jerks, was characterized as a "sort of punk, fast rock."

"The different styles come out together like a chefs salad," Bressi said. "But it is the sound of the 90s," Francis said. This sound is what makes For the People what it is.

The band would define their music, present! y, as compariti veto REM and The Cure, butpointoutthat they are facing a changing period. They would like to focus more upon original songs, rather than cover songs. ''The closest to what we are is what we played Saturday (of Superthon Weekend)," Bressi said.

Bressi is responsible for the original songs played by the band thus far. His lyrics mostly confront social and real-life issues, according to Martini. The lyrics in the second verse ofBressi's song, 'Stop That Train' are as follow: ''Well now I'm older than some, but younger than most in the minds of others.

Look merightinthefaceandtellmejustrhere you have been.

Have foreign sands and distant lands succeeded to make you a better man.

The time will come when you have to own up to everything you have done.

Stop that train.''

In the future, the band would like to play songs that were written by other members in the group.

For the People has been together for two and a half semesters, now. Dan Francis and Frank Bressi were the first to get together, just to "jam," back in January of 1989.

Shortly after, Laudenberger, then Martini were recruited to the group. ''There was question of clashes of style (when I joined)," Martini said. "But things were ironed out. I learned to play without distortion.''

The band's name moreless came from a joke, developing from the cross-country team. Specifically, former student, Tom O'Donnell would reinforce the coach's team spirit with sarcasm, by saying, 'Do it for the people.' Thereafter, the band members were refered to as "For the People."

Superthon 1990 was the latest appearance from the group. Bressi, Martini, Francis, and Laudenberger had all played in Battle of the Bands, last year at Superthon, as well.

Other appearances included two school-sponsored dances.

"We wish everytime we play, we ·could play like we did attheSaturday's (Superthon) concert," Martini said. The band attributed their success to the new P.A. (public announcement) system rather than the campus sound system, the people present at the event, and the technical and moral support of freshman, Larry Martin.

Superthon 's concert event has opened• doors for the

band. The sound board made a professional tape of their performance, produced considerably well; good enough, the band said, that they are considering looking into the record industry. "We've never had a tape that sounded good enough to send anybody," Francis said. "We always recorded ourselves with a box (radio) in back of the room."

Other plans include a performance at a private party in the near future. "There's no reason why we couldn't play at clubs or bars if we looked into them,'' Lauden berger said.

"We've just never tried."

School may be reason for the delay of outside performances. "It's very hard for us to get together at once (to practice)," Francis said.

A decade of baseball from a fan's own die-hard spirit

by Mark Gudas As all of my friends can tell you I am a big baseball fan. Walk into my room and my side of the wall is decorated with pennants of every major league team.

Another spring is here and America's pastime has finally arrived. Since we are in a new decade and the mess surrounding the controversial lockout is over, I thought it might be appropriate that we take a look back at the World Series winners of the 80's and some memorable moments that went along with them. So here we go baseball junkies.

The 1980 Phillies, the 1981 Dodgers, the 1982 Cardinals, the 1983 Orioles, the 1984 Detroit Tigers, the 1985 Royals, the 1986 Mets, the 1987 Twins, the 1988 Dodgers and the 1989 Athletics.

They were some of the best teams to ever step on the field. Any fan of the game will remember Tug McGraw throwing his arms up in the air after striking out Willie Wilson of the Kansas City Royals to give the Phillies their only World Series title in the history of their franchise. That was also the year that

ESPN televised the first college world series.

How about the strike in '81. A fat Mexican by the name of Fernando Valenzuela won the Cy Young and Rookie of the Year Awards and led the Dodgers to the first of their two championships in the 80's, the only team to accomplish that feat.

Rickey Henderson stole the show in 1982 breaking Lou Brock's stolen base record but it was Whitey Herzog' s Cardinals defeating the Brew Crew to take the crown. Despite making return visits in '85 and '87 this was the Cards only glory.

1983 saw Billy Martin get fired, George Brett have his bat examined for too much pine tar, and the Baltimore Orioles defeat the Phillies and Pete Rose in the fall classic.

Peter Ueberroth succedded Bowie Kuhn as commissioner and the Tigers defeated the Padres in 1984 behind the relief pitching of Willie Hernandez and the ace of the staff, Jack Morris. Morris would finish the decade as the most winningest pitcher.

In 1985, there was a two-day player strike,

Billy Martin was fired again, and Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb's all-time hit mark. It was also the year for George Brett and Co. who beat the Cards.

The "Goat of the Decade and Year Award" goes to Red Sox Bill Buckner who let an easy ground ball go through his legs, thus enabling the Mets to capture the glory in '86.

The head of the Dodgers, Al Camapnis, was fired by the organization after he appeared on the television show Nightline and said that blac~s might lack some of the "necessities" needed for high level baseball jobs. Amid all this controversy the Twins defeated the Cardinals in the World Series behind the pitching of Frank Viola and the hitting of superstar outfielder Kirby Puckett.

1988 was the year that Billy Martin was fired for a fifth time as manager of the New York Yankees, the Orioles lost their first twenty-one games of the year, lights went on for the first time ever at Wrigley Field, Jose Canseco became the first 40-40 man, Jim

Abbott the pitcher without a right hand helped lead the Americans past Japan to capture the gold medal in Seoul, South Korea and Orel Hershiser and Dodger Blue reigned again as champs.

The final year of the decade saw an earthquake shake the Bay Area, the best player ever in the sport got suspended for life from the game he helped re-create, Nolan Ryan recorded his 5,000 strikeout and Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti died. My inan, Johnny Bench and Carl Yaz were inducted into the Hall of Fame on their first ballot. It was a Series that will never be forgotten even if you know nothing about the game because the Quake will stay in everyone's minds forever, especially for the losers the Giants and the winners the Athletics.

The next decade will probably be just as interesting. Who knows what could be next. Maybe aluminum bats will be allowed in the majors.

The National League might expand to fourteen teams. Television contracts might lead to interleague play. Bo Jackson may decide to only play baseball.

Fiction

Sun and fun cause Cavaliersto unravelwithoutPBS (Editor's note: This will be a fictitious, satirical journalism piece which will last throughout the season. It is intended for pure entertainment and interest for those who have a love and admiration for the sport of baseball.)

by Ozzie Outfielder and Pete Pitcher In the last week, the Cavalier baseball team has seen the view from the top of the mountain, and plunged to the depths of a deep valley. Playing seven games in lOdays, the Cavs roared out of the gate to sweep a home stand that saw Fordham, Temple, and Rutgers fall to strong Cabrini pitching.

"I really saw them coming together as a staff during the home stand," pitching coach Jim Hedtke said. "Kilroy, Reidy, and McGeehan lokked very sharp in their appearances."

The three top starters combined to limit opponents' offense to a measly four runs in the three games played at the dazzling

Romano Field. Romano Field, originally scheduled for completion in the summerof 1989, was finally ready for use at the Cavs first on-campus game ever on March 22.

The 1,100 seat, NCAAregulation facility hosted a 7-2 sellout Cabrini victory over the Fordham Rams. "I really think that the new surroundings gave the guys the boost they needed to go out and win some tough games," Manager Bud Mellon said.

A short left-field fence enabled Cabrini batters to launch 5 home runs as Brian Kilroy notched his third victory of the season. Kilroy worked a four-hit complete game, while Mike Tino and Kevin Evans rocked Ram pitching for two home runs apiece.

Matt Hodlofski, starting his first game at shortstop in place of slumping Chris Pesotski shocked the crowd with a bolt that just cleared the outfield wall. ''It really woke me up,'' statistician Bob Bonfiglio said. "I never thought Matt had it in him."

McGeehan notched a two-hit shutout

over local rival Temple as the Cavs moved theirrecord to 8-5 with a 2-0 win. "The guys just played fundamental baseball," third base coach Sam Vasalliades said. "We moved the ruuners, and our pitching was dominant."

A final win over Rutgers launched a bon voyage party as the Cavs embarked on a West Coast road trip.

"We weren't real happy to be leaving home," waterboy Jerry Zurek said. "We can get PBS in color in the new clubhouse.

All of the guys were upset that we missed the Bill Moyers special to catch the plane."

The road swing started on a high note as the Cavs trounced United States International University 9-1, on the strength of a balanced offensive threat and a strong pitching performance from freshman Matt Brush.

"We needed that," Mellonsaid. "He made some of those California guys look pretty bad on breaking pitches."

The beautiful San Diego campus ofUSIU proved to be too much for freshman pitcher Bob Salladino, who announced his transfer

to the ocean-front college on March 27. "I just loved it out there,'' Salladino said. ''I'm going to finish up~ season, and move out there sometime in May." Salladino' s season may well have cometo an end as Salladino suffered his third straight loss as the Cavs fell to the UCLA Bruins.

"He just hasn't had the velocity," Hedtke said. "He worked very hard, but sometime you've got to begin to face facts."

The 12-4 loss started a three-game skid which saw the squad drop additional games to USC and Oregon State. ''Concentration has been a problem for this team,'' said coach John Doyle. "When we're mentally in a game, we're nearly unbeatable."

Mellon agreed, "We showed just how bad a team we can be when we don't pay attention to the fundamentals.''

Following the West Coast trip, the Cavs have run theirrecord to 10-8. "We've got a lot of bus trip game against Pennsylvania maybe make a run for post-season play."

Softball hits Neumann; errors at Eastern

by Lou Monaco Springtime is here and that means only one thing, women's softball is back in full swing. With new coach, David Tajirian and a supporting cast of five freshmen, six sophomores, two juniors and no seniors, Cabrini softball is hitting and pitching its way into the future.

Opening day took place this past Monday, as sophomore infielder Kathy Murray had three hits and junior outfielder Michelle Ballinghoff drove in two runs, as Cabrini outlasted Neumann College, 9-5.

Freshman pitcher Mara Beth Shedden started her first ever game and allowed only five runs through seven innings of work for the victory.

Co-captain and junior outfielder, Michelle Ballinghoff said, ''The two new freshman pitchers, Sheeden and Maureen McG!one have been bright spots for the team. They are two steady pitchers who have pitched consistently well during practices and hopefully, that steadiness can carry over into the season."

On Tuesday, the Cavs walked down the path in front of House #4, crossed the street and played our long-time rival, Eastern College. A scheduled doubleheader had to be cancelled and only one game was able to be played.

The reason?

Eastern didn't call the umpires who were scheduled for the game until later that afternoon causing the postponement of one of the games.

In the lone game, Eastern squeaked out a win, beating the Cavs by a score of 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning. Sophomore Jan Bannar scored the only run for the Cavs, scoring from third base on a passed ball.

Bannar said, '' So far, the team has played really well. We have been working on our defense, but our offense is little bit suspect, so we have to continue working on that."

Shedden said, ''The first game I was a little nervous, especially because I had to change my pitching stance in the second inning. The stance slowed down my pitch but, my accuracy was fine throughout.''

Shedden added, "Yesterday's game against Eastern was more of a challenge for the team. I think we will play a lot better because of it and I think it will help the team out."

This was also the first two games for Tajirian in his first season ever with Cabrini.

What do the players think?

Ballinghoff said, ''Coach Tajirian has really been good to the team. He is a good motivator and he is very enthusiastic about his job. He always instills in the team positive reinforcement.''

Bannar said, "He gives everyone confi-

dence. He is young and also experienced since he does play softball on a regular basis."

The Cavs are in the middle of one of the toughest stretches of their schedule this season, including the Catholic University Tournament in Washington, D.C., this coming weekend.

Bannar said, "Everybody is really looking forward to it. Its our first tournament ever and ~verybody wants to have fun and especially, win."

The three other teams competing in the tournament are Catholic University (the host), Marywood and Gettysburg.

Ballinghoff said, "It should be good experience for the team and it should help us since, Marywood is one of our conference opponents this season.

Bannar said, "We are all ready to beat Catholic."

The Cavs schedule for the beginning of April looks like this.

Widener University rolls into Cabrini on April 3 and Alvernia College immediately after on April 5. Back-to back doubleheaders are up next with Marywood on the road on April 7 and Allentown up north on April I 0.

The ESAC Championships take place on April 28th. After the Allentown doubleheader though, all of Cabrini should know if we will be in a pennant race or not.
