Residentassistants:too muchto take?

by Jennifer Morrison The job of resident assistant has been under scrutiny at several colleges across the country due to increa~ing amount of responsibilities placed on student resident assistants.

Today the job of a RA requires more work than that of the earlier years. John Doyle, director of resident life, was an RA for the college in 1984-85, his senior year.

His duties were to be a support system for students, as well as keep the buildings clean and in order.

Unlike today's RA duties, no formal programs were done, and rounds were every other night, only in the dorm which the RA was in charge of.

Today, an RA's duties to the students and the college include disciplinary actions, programming social, cultural and educational events, filling out fonns for the events and/or incident reports, counseling, being a team member with the other RAs as well as the students, keeping the emotional well-being of their living environment by being a role model and a

friend, and sometimes even being an enemy.

With all of this responsibility one might ask themselves why a person applies for a RA position.

Theresa Daly, a 1989 graduate and former RA, feels that a big part of the fun she had as an RA had to do with the friends she made.

"The skills you learn as a RA are important, but the biggest benefits were the friends I met on my floor, in the staff and the administration."

As an education major, Sharon Sheedy, junior, feels the position

of RA has given her the chance to learn management techniques for her classroom. It has also taught her to respect the students in her hall and receive the respect she deserves while keeping a working relationship with the staff and residents.

"I think our ~ducation majors find it as one of the best training grounds for being an education person," Doyle said. "Especially being a special education major, the intensity of the experience is very much like a special education experience.''

In the business major, the RA experience sharpens their managerial skills. When Tyrone Carr, assistant director of resident life, went out for the RA position in his college, he dido 't realize all of the bases he could touch with the experience.

"I found that so many of the skills are transferable, the supervisory skills are definitely the strongest," Carr said. "Other than time management and interpersonal communication skills, which are transferable into any profes

by Daniella LoPresti Denise Civa, senior, who has worked in Holy Spirit Library for four years has been chosen as Cabrini's Student Employee of the Year.

Each year in conjunction with the Northeast Association of Student Employment Administrators, College Work Study Supervisors are asked to nominate one of theirCWSemployeesforthis award. This awardcarries not only local recognition but also possible regional and national recognition and cash prizes.

According to Beth Cairns, assistant director of financial aid, each department at Cabrini that employs work study students are asked to nominate a student for this award.

"After the nominations were received, they were evaluated by a committee,'' Cairns said. The campus cormnittee consists of four members that evaluated the more Civa on

Campaignto help college's-needs

by Clyde LaForest Glittery black and silver packets will soon be delivered to student mailboxes.

They announce the kickoff of the college's first comprehensive capital campaign.

Produced in high-end public relations fashion, the packets hold invitations to three events on May 5, 6 and 16 that are meant to celebrate the capital campaign's public debut, according to Nancy Costello, director of the comprehensive campaign.

The first invitation is to a black-tie

gala in "the Great Gatsby tradition," said the invitation card, reminiscent of •:an age of high jinks and high life."

The high life's price amounts to $100 per person.

Costello admitted the cost is high for students, but she said they are invited to watch the fireworks show that night, Saturday, May 5, free of charge. It will be launched from the new parking lot, behind Grace Hall, over the all-purpose athletic field.

The gala will require some temporary changes to the campus traffic patterns. Because of the fireworks, the

new parking lot will be closed Friday, May 4 evening and all day Saturday, May 5.

Also, due to valet parking for the party-goers, the Eagle Road gate will be closed from about 5:30 p.m. until I 0:30 p.m., May 5, Costello said. She also said the road between the Mansion and Grace Hall will be closed May 5 for the "avenue of lights," and parking will be prohibited in the Mansion courtyard May 2 to 5.

The next day's event is what Costello said she hopes will attract many more Campaign on 5

Resident Assistants:

One-wayticketto burnout?

As a glorified position, the resident assistant enjoys the heightened respect, added maturity and free room and board that comes with the position.

But has the position outgrown its applicants, thus becoming a venue of cheap labor which the institution exploits?

Many of the responsibilities associated with the job should be strictly the domain of trained professionals in a broad spectrum of areas ranging from secu_rityto psychology.

Two methods to diffuse these intense responsibilities may lie in strengthening the support systems (via the campus and professional community), or the lessening of the burdens that now pull resident assistants away from the entitled norms of scholarship, peace, and mental stability.

How well does the position prepare students for graduate school or other career endeavors when their days and nights are mired in police-keeping; red-tape sorting, and psychological counseling? The job becomes a one-way ticket to bum-out.

RAs are expected to be educators as well as enforcers. How can they plan programs and be positive influences when they are simply students themselves? Education is the main prerogative of faculty and should not be a burden upon these upper-class students to the degree it is now forced.

Legally bound as employees of the college, RAs go about their routine virtually untrained in psychological matters and crisis that they will inevitably encounter. This scenario is fertile ground in which the institution is ripe to have legal action taken upon them in times of liability.

Qualified trainers and experts available for on-call referral can inherit the more volatile aspects of the RA position.

An evening in-residence hall security force (Xavier and Woodcrest) would aid RAs in preventing vandalism and alcohol violations by residents and their off-campus guests.

A stronger support system in the areas of psychological counseling would give the RAs another tool in combating difficult situations instead of fearfully going about the project solo.

A twenty-four hour on-call system must be established to match the never-ending duties an RA fulfills. A course comparable to a leadership practicum or career development program may be implemented to serve as a secure and regular basis for the RAs to explore their recent experiences and follow-up on their outcomes with their peers.

A feasible solution may lie in the utilization of older, more established students in continuihg education or graduate students from nearby institutions.

That resource of experience in years, and a availability in time is just the right combination.

johanna church news editor ''My great-grandma died the other day.

At first I was sad, but we had a big party with lots of people. Great-grandma was there, only she was asleep. First, everybody stood around, crying. I don't know why they were sad, because then we got to ride in a limo. It was great!

Then, we went to a fancy restaurant for lunch. I ate a whole bunch of little cinnamon buns. Yummy. And the best part was that everybody was giving me presents. First, my aunt gave me a real pearl necklace that was great-grandma's. It's beautiful. Then all these ladies I don't even know came up to me and started hugging me, giving me toys and dolls.

It was so much fun. I can't wait for another funeral party.' ' This was my reaction to my first experience with death when I was 11 years old. The stages of acceptance of death a person goes through didn't hit me then.

My second experience with death was last year when my dog died.

There was no funeral, and no fun.

It was the first time I felt a loss. Sugar wasn't asleep, she was gone forever. As time when on, the pain went away, and the loss was filled with a new puppy.

My third exerience came on March 28, 1990. The phone rang, my aunt was crying.

My grandmother decided she would go out to the shed to tell my grandfather.

I heard my grandpop yell, "What!"

"Your brother died today," my grandmother softly repeated.

I sat on the couch thinking back to my childhood when my Uncle Bob would bring me toys everytime he saw me.

My grandfather came inside the house, a blank stare on his face.

Death is such a terrible thing. It leaves so much undone.

I wish God would send you a card in the mail saying, "Johanna Church, your last day will be May 18, 1990. Get your bills paid, and your assets in order. Say goodbye to all your friends and family. Make sure you tell all the appropriate people you love them.

This will be your only notice.''

It may sound ridiculous, but then there would be no surprise. I hate surprises. I like to know what's going on and I like to be in control.

Afterall, birth is no surprise. You have 9 months of preparation.

I know when people are ill for long periods of time death is usually expected. But there are the miracle times when people recover. My grandmother, who was seriously ill years ago is living proof.

So, we went through all the traditional motions of a funeral. Before I left the house, I found two medals which my uncle received in World War II. He.had given them to me years before. I'm not exactly sure why.

He just liked to give.

Periodically during the day I would realize he was gone and not believe it. It's not like I saw him everyday, why would it be hard to let him go?

The times when I did see him, he always had something to give me.

Now all he will give me is memories.

Something kind of funny about this whole thing is that now I will be near him every day.

On the way to school I drive by the cemetery where he is buried.

I have passed it every day for three years and it never had any meaning or significance to it. Now it does.

It's funny how things you door see every day have no significance in_your life. Then something happens and the things you do and see every day have different meanings.

Death also gives you a whole new way of looking at things.

As part of my job at a newspaper, I write obituaries. The first month I wrote them, I would get sad that people were dying, and I was summarizing their lives.

Later it became a habit, part of the job, no big deal. When I heard of someone who had died, immediately in my mind I could form their obit. I couldn't even think when my uncle died.

I wish God would send you a card in the mail saying, "Johanna Church, your last day will be May 18,1990.

Make sure you tell all the appropriate_,p.eopleyou love them.

He didn't even have a real obit, just a death notice. That bothers me.

As I grow, death seems to be more difficult to deal with. It also has to do with the person.

Now that I've been through the fun stage and am at the point of feeling the loss, what is the next stage?

Does it get any easier? How will I handle the threat of death when it's my tum?

Someday I'll find out. I hope it won't be soon.

Goodbye Uncle Bob. See you on the way home.

Negative reaction to Bloom's idea of radio reality

by Kevin George Whatever it talces, I will not let the Andy Blooms of this world win. I'll let them play, but I won't let them win, not while I'm in the game.

If you were lucky enough to attend Andy Bloom's lecture before the English and communications department, then you know what Mr. Bloom stands, I mean, slithers for.

And if you listened close enough, you may know my feelings about Andy Bloom as well.

For the rest of you who didn't have the pleasure of beholding Mr. Bloom, I'll give

you a recap of his speech by listing the man's priorities in descending order: money, wealth and money.

Understand that I don't subscribe to the same priority list as Mr. Bloom, and that my disagreement may affect my opinion, but I truly believe, with all my heart, that an indepth understanding of Andy Bloom's character (and the subsequent eradication of it) could lead to world peace and human rights for all mankind.

But before you begin to assume that this opinion will be another Liberal Arts-studentthinks-he-knows-it-all lecture on the perils of materialism, let me lay to rest your as-

sumptions by proclaiming th.at it will be just that.

Even if you've already heard all the liberal mumbo jumbo your stomach can stand, the following attack on Andy Bloom's philosophy of life will at the least be infonnative, and at the most be enlightening.

If you have a hard time placing the name Andy Bloom, m~ybe his "buddy" Howard Stem will ring a bell. You see Andy Bloom is the man responsible for bringing Howard Stem into our daily lives. To anti-Stemians, that may seem like a heinous act, but I'm sorry to say, that giving Howard Stem a microphone and a transmitter is so far Andy Bloom's greatest contribution to civilization.

Whether you like Howard or not shouJdn 't have any bearing on your feelings toward Andy, but whether you like to think independently should.

Andy Bloom is the operations manager for 94 WYSP radio, here in Philadelphia, the fourth biggest market in the United States of America. He is the man who determines what goes on the air, and what doesn't. Andy

It is more than just radio. The station Wef'cnoose has a lot to do with our culture, our personality and our thinking. Of course, the less thinking we do, the better for men like Andy Bloom who need demographic models not independent thinkers.

graphic stereotype from another? How should I be labled today? Which way should I spoon feed my mind today?

It is more than just radio. The station we choose has a lot to do with our culture, our personality and our thinking. Of course, the less thinking we do, the better for men like Andy Bloom who need demographic models not independent thinkers.

But you say it is still only radio. Today, maybe it is only radio. But what if they could print 15 different editions of the newspaper, each one going to a different geographic area? Maybe the newspaper men could ''fractionalize'' the markets for their advertisers too. Maybe they could comer the white readers aged 30 to 65 living in Radnor by printing all the news important to them: tax hikes, school issues and business reports, while leaving out all the stuff they don't want to read like the problems of public transportation, inner-city school troubles and other "foreign" issues.

If the newspaper and radio guys can do it, why can't television adopt Andy Bloom's principles, and whore themselves out for ad-

Bloom is very good at his job, if you judge it by his salary which is six figures.

Not only does Mr. Bloom decide what goes on the air at the' 'Classic Rock" station, but, through his national consulting business, he has programmed minds all across the country.

I really shouldn't say "he has programmed minds'' because Bloom really couldn't care less about the minds of America's radio audience, only the advertisers trying to reach those minds, yours and mine. What you and I think does not matter to Mr. Bloom. In fact, he said as much in his lecture last week: people aren't thinkers.

We don't think, but we do listen to the radio. And that's what Mr. Bloom cares about. In fact, he cares so much that he is willing to spend a great deal of money trying to get inside our little minds to find out what we want to hear. How does he do it? He calls us up and asks us. And we tell him. We not only tell him what we like to hear, we tell him our age, sex, race and income bracket.

He needs tci know these things so that when someone wants to advertise on his station, he can tell them who is listening.

That malces for a very efficient system: each radio station represents a certain portion of the population. You want to reach white males aged 25 to 40, call WYSP and WMMR. You want to sell to black males age 18 to 30, advertise on Power 99. You want to sell my mother a new cleanser, advertise on Kiss 100.

Andy Bloom calls all this "fractionalizing" the market: cutting it up into little pieces based on age, race, sex and money.

The main objective of the radio station is to target one of these markets and to grab as many people within the market as possible. It no longer malces "sense" to aim for more than one market segment, because advertisers don't like to sell the same things to me and my mother, or to me and a black male.

At first look, this system seems like a great advancement of capitalism since it increases our choices. But what is our choice when we are choosing between one demo-

...

....,.No.

vertising dollars. With the technology of cable TV, it is now possible to transmit certain programs to certain parts of town.

And guess what, the technology also exists to print up those market-segmented newspapers too.

If Andy Bloom wants to make it to seven figures, he has a lot of ,work ahefld of him.

And he is only in his late twenties.

So who is the bad guy here? Can we really fault Andy for capitalizing on my choice of music, my inability to think for myself? This is America damn it, if you want to listen to music for white boys under 25, never expose yourself to something different, it is your right. Like Andy says, tune into WXPN if you don't like it.

But it is also your human nature not to expose yourself to something foreign. we· are all tr;igically creatures of habit; men and women who love the security of defining ourselves. Who wants to get up at 6 a.m. and try to expose themselves to a different culture? Maybe those people who listen to WXPN do, but not you orl. We have more tangible problems in our life like paying bills, getting good grades, not getting fired.

But as a thinking member of advanced civilization (pre-Howard Stem era), we also have the problems of other demographic groups, or market segments if you will. But those problems aren't as tangible; my life can go on without knowing about them, or solving them.

And Andy Bloom likes it that way.

Civa from 1 nominations on the following areas: reliability, quality of work, initiative, disposition, and contributions made to the employer.

Civa was nominated by her supervisor, Joan Falcone. Falcone nominated Civa because of her reliability, initiative and remarkable knowledge of the library.

"Denise has worked here (library) for four years and in all those years, we have never had a problem with her,'' Falcone said.

"I can't remember a day Denise didn't come to work,'' she added.

Even on snow days, when no other staff members are able to get onto campus, Civa would open the doors of the library.

According to Falcone, Civa goes beyond her job description and will assist the library any way she can. ''She is always willing to work and never complains,'' Falcone added.

Although, Civa's job title is periodicals assistant, she does office work, word processing, reference checks and all the responsibilities associated with the front desk. It is Civa's willingness to go beyond the regular requirements of the job that won her the award.

The award came as a surprise to Civa, who is a veteran at winning awards. As recipient of the Charles A. Mastronardi Service and Leadership Award, Lindback Service Award, Who's Who and now Student Employee of the Year, Civa still is surprised to learn she has won an award.

"I had no idea I was being nominated," Civa said. Civahopesshewaschosenforthe award because her peers respect her work and are happy with her performance.

The $7 million capital campaign is called comprehensive because it is designed to raise money for a variety of needs, whereas most fund raisers focus on the buildings and grounds of the campus.

Studentsreachout to studentprisoners

by Christina Roach The red light pulsates on and off, a signal for the residents to clear the way. A group moves through the sea of people down a long corridor. Their destination is the library. Another session with the tutors from the outside has begun.

They are illiterate. They like to be called students. They are the men in !he literacy project at Graterford prison. Five Cabrini women enter the maximum security prison every week to teach the inmates to read.

The women are participants in the Campus Ministry Prison Outreach Program. Every Monday evening junior Pam Croke, sophomores Ellen Battersby and Julie McKee, and freshmen Juliann Dunn and Kim Keck drive to Collegeville, Pennsylvania to the prison. Aft~r they pass through the forty-five-foot wall the women must wait for security clearance from the prison guards.

Lamont Henderson meets the women at the gate every week. He is one of the inmates who escorts the tutors to the library. He jokesaround with the women to make the walk through the corridor filled with loitering inmates easier.

Henderson also acts as the '' icebreaker and security guard" between the women and the inmatestudents. He is on the administrative board of the literacy program.

A former tutorhimself,Henderson said there are a tremendous amount of inmates who can not read and write.

For two months, John Adamson has been Battersby's pupil. Adamson finished ninth grade and then dropped out of high school. He is involved in the prison's math and English programs as well. Adamson wants to take his high school

equivalency test.

"I knew how to read," Adamson said. "I just have trouble comprehending what I read. I am getting back into the flow of education. I want to get back to the level I'm supposed to be at."

Battersby said Adamson is a good student because he really wants to learn.

"The very first week I felt uncomfortable because I was afraid John wouldn't take me seriously. But by the end of the night we were comfortable with each other.

We work on a friendly basis and he enjoys talking to me because I am from the outside."

Together they developed a list of goals for Adamson's progress when Kim Keck and her student focus their attention to learning about phonics.

Movie review:PrettyWoman Movie Ratings: Pretty Woman Excellent Good Fair Poor

*** **** *** ** *

by Leonora Veterano Pretty Woman starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts is a wonderful, romantic-comedy, that will leave you begging for more. The two together make the movie sizzle in this comedy.

Gere plays Edward, a wealthy millionaire whose only lasting personal relationship has been with his work. But as fate would have it, he stumbles accidently upon Roberts, who plays Viven, a hollywood prostitute.

Roberts, who is unaccustomed to the lifestyles of the rich and famous, is immediately taken in by Gere' s charms and wealth. The lady oftheevening whoisonlysupposed to stay for the night, ends up staying for the week.

Gere proposses to Roberts, what he calls a business proposition of $3,000 if she will spend the week with him as his companion in his business dealings in town.

To the unsuspecting Gere, Roberts helps the million-

helps Roberts realize her potential as the two eventually fall in love.

Pretty Woman has uplifting music that will leave your feet tapping and your hands clapping. Music includes, "Pretty Woman" by the late Roy Orbeson, as well as "Wild Women Do" Natile Cole's latest single.

Gere and Roberts show you that even the strangest couples can learn to come together and look over the social classes all in the name of love.

Gere whose movie credits include, '' American Gigolo", "Yanks", and "An Officer and a Gentlemen", displays a terrific sense of humor as well as his trademark of charm, style and sex-appeal. His cool looks will leave the women wishing they were his co-star.

Roberts whose movie credits entail, "Mystic Pizza" and "Steel Magnolias", is sensous as she displays great charm and wit as she is transformed frollba lady of the evening to a lady.

You will find that their is almost non-stop laughter throughout the movie as well as anticipation as you start to wonder if the two lovers will end up together and live happily ever after.

Although Pretty Woman is rated R, it will not leave its audience offended by the character's acting ability or the use of language.

For all of those who enjoy watching Gere and Roberts this movie is a definite. This movie is especially enjoyable if you are one who loves romance, comedy and happy endings, then you too must trot down to your nearest movie theater and see it. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

,But if we can help someone get turned on to reading, then they aren't rol?'ti.ll8 a cell or shooting drugs."

Blackbum said that the prison does employ professionals to tutor the students, but the professionals often do not make as much progress as the volunteers. "We (Prison Literacy Program) make a lot more progress because of personal interest," he said.

Another founding director, inmate Yusef Jones said, "Any lady here is good for the morale.

Any contact with the community at large helps us to develop social and communication skills that are needed to survive and continue personal growth."

Henderson said that tutoring the illiterate inmates is rewarding.

Not being able to read and understand what is happening to a prisoner puts him at a terrible disadvantage because he is then at the mercy of the criminal-justice system, he added.

"I love seeing people's faces when you teach them how to write their name," Henderson said.

Swaziland adventure includes teaching children and dealing with unfamiliar customs

by Dawn Timbario Andrea Thompson graduated from Cabrini College last year and already has gained experience that will last her a lifetime. This former English and communications major spent the six months following graduation in Swaziland, South Africa.

Thompson learned everything from the quality of peacefulness to living a life devoid of electricity. It took a little while for Thompson to become accustomed to this lifestyle, but she eventually came to appreciate this country's limitations.

Thompson traveled to South Africa with Cabrini's Project Outreach. This is a Christian service organization that places Cabrini student volunteers in the community service institutions of the Missonary Sisters of the Sacred Heart for a time limit spanning one semester to several months.

For those students who do well in school and graduate with above average grades, they are presented with opportunities and the chance to get ahead.

Those unfortunate, average males are forced to spend the rest of their lives working in the dark mines.

She heard about this program a few months before graduation through Sister Bernadette Anello, director of campus ministry and decided to broaden her horizons.

Thompson traveled by herself to this foreign kingdom of Swaziland, which is slightly smaller than the state of New Jersey, and was greeted with a less than warm welcome. Thompson was told she did not need a visa to enter the country and was almost booted back to the West when she arrived at the airport. Thompson admitted that she was very nervous about entering this new land, especially when she was circling the airport and realized that it was no bigger than Cabrini's parking lot.

Once Thompson became established, she was thrown into a job teaching the Swazi children how to read, write and do arithmetic. Having no prior teaching experience, Thompson was given a brief introduction in student teaching, and assigned a class for the very next day.

Because she did not major in education, becoming an im,tructor was very new to her. Thompson purchased a book on how to speak Siswati that very day, and was able to learn the student's dialect quickly.

Thompson's pupils ranged in literacy as well as age. Because some Swazi children do not begin to attend school until they are in their teens, the class consisted of students age 7 to 20. The school itself was in a very delapitated state. There were bats nesting in the rafters, not to mention the lack of toilet facilities in the building.

During her stay, Thompson had to act as a doctor as well as teacher to many of her students.

"Water is scarce in Swaziland, and sometimes even as black

as soot, the children were not able to wash their hands before eating,'' she said. This posed many health threats to the natives.

Thompson was constantly reaching into her side pocket to hand out tablets for kids complaining of worms in their stomachs.

Unlike many Americas who complain about attending class, Thompson said the Swazis love to learn. She complained, though, that they are taught with hideous British textbooks that fail to teach the children much of anything.

For those students who do well in school and graduate with above average grades, they are presented with opportunities and the chance to get ahead. Those unfortunate, average males are forced to spend the rest of their lives working in the dark mines. Thompson visited the mining site, and said that they are more like prison fields that swallow the Swazi men up for hours of grueling, hard work.

Education in Swaziland is not cheap.

In fact, the cost is so significant that the families must have the means to support their children's schooling.

Thompson said that life is very simple in South Africa. She, herself, lived in a convent with three nuns on a mission.

Two and a half hours away, Thompson found a town that is basically filled with wholesalers peddling grain and other staples.

Thompson visited Johannesburg twice during her six month stay and was surprised at how much it resembled our Western civilization. She said she went crazy eating pizza, hamburgers and other favorites that she normally could not enjoy.

Thompson said, all foreigners should beware when they enter South America.

The natives do not like foreigners, especially Americans. Swazis are still very much into native medical cures and some even place complete faith in the powers of the old witch doctors.

The land in Swaziland is allotted to each family by the chief. There is also a strong reliance on the family unit itself in South Africa. Swazi's live like American Indians on areas known as homesteads. When sons and daughters marry, they live in houses circling the father's home.

One accepted practice in Swaziland is polygamy. Because the natives live like extended family units in the village, there is cheating among husbands and wives as the men visit different huts.

Thompson is currently working towards a masters degree in education here at Cabrini. She is working at a pre-school during the day. and tutoring learning disabled children at night. She is aspiring to return to South Africa in approximately two years and is looking forward to a longer stay this time.

Her pupils from Swaziland still write to her and ask her to come back to teach them. When Thompson does return, she will stay for the children's entire three term school year, instead of missing a term and regretting it. Andrea would like to see the growth and maturation of the Swazi children with her own eyes.

She encourages all who wish to visit any non-Western civilization to keep an open mind and except every foreign culture with open arms.

Comedy of 'Crimes'will stealyourheart

by Sharlene Sephton

mother's suicide. Homyak goes beyond her girlishness and proves her capability as an actress to portray an abused and dissatisfied woman.

The male influence in the play extends from the sisters' grandfather who is not seen in the play to Doc Porter, a long-time suitor once infatuated with Meg, and Barnette Lloyd, Babe's defense lawyer. Sophomore Timothy P. Cronin easily fills the role of the gangly southern gentlemen, Doc, remaining respectable and thoughtful throughout the play.

Frank Bressi, sophomore is a humorous counterpart as Barnette. His ambitious efforts are exaggerated to the point of a loser, but not quite. Bressi allows for compassion in the character and we are warmed by his personable qualities.

A detailed setincludingmajorappliances and decorative magnets complemented the realism of the play. All except running and boiling water was accounted for. The effort put into the set's construction was one of the most elaborate of the theater's recent attempts.

Lighting and music worked well as mood devices. The professional input of Randy Wise was noticeable but not exceptional. The upstage area often left actors in the shadows. Heavy and dramatic make-up lines were the only other detrimental factors.

Actors as well as production staff conspired to make· 'Crimes of the Heart," one of the most professional and inspired endeavors of the theatre.

Sultry jazz and southern drawls heavy with sweetness and sarcasm filled the air during opening night of "Crimes of the Heart."

Sometimes risque by "skimping on the nylon,'' and often touching, the comedydrama revealed insightful perspectives on sibling relationships, affairs of love, prejudice, and death.

The three unloved McGrath sisters are endeared to the audience as they are brought together by the youngest sibling's murder of her affluential husband. They relive past resentments and memories, and by the end of the play they are a step closer in their sisterhood and in knowing themselves.

With a mousy naivete, Lisa Lipar, freshman, portrays the oldest sister, Lenny. Her soft and unassuming features allow for us to want to protect her innocence. When she fights back against the bullying cousin, Chick Boyle, played by Kimberly Anne Marshall, freshman, the audience cheers her in triumph.

Marshall had a significant challenge in her role. She demonstrated a careful balance between snottiness and becoming a spectacle. She managed to wear a neon orange suit and maintain her composure when the skirt is pulled to her waist in the first scene.

Marshall manages to strike a well-known comparison of the intrusive neighbor we all seem to have met, but on stage we can laugh at her and hate her as we could never before.

Suzanne Marotta, freshman, as the middle sister, Meg, is the darker side of the family.

She is the most free with her habits and is living the life of a struggling singer in Hollywood. Her sisters see her as the one who always got what she wanted and the most self-centered. Marotta' s presence adds a glamour to the set, but we soon recognize how returning to home is often a humbling reminder of who we used to be.

The shocker of the play is the frilly murderess Babe, played by Stephanie Anne Homyak. Her little girl stubbornness is the only hint of a ki!Jer, and through Lisa Lipar as Lenny listens intently to Kim Marshall, her experiences she solves Chick Boyle, her pushy cousin during a performance of "Crimes of the Heart.

Nationalstudyreportsdeclineof alcohol on campus

by Chris Pesotski According to a recent national study published in the New York Times, the prevalence of alcohol consumption on college campuses dropped in the 1980s.

According to the 1989 study, the percentage of students who had had a drink in the last month dropped from a 1982 high of 82.8 percent to a low of 76.2 in 1989.

A casual observation of drinking on the Cabrini campus still shows a high rate of alcohol consumption on weekends. In a twohour period Saturday night, r.,!arch 31, fifteen obviously inebriated undergraduates were monitored in the lobby of Xavier Hall.

Many were known to have been underage.

The Times study defined ®avy drinking as having five ormore drinksinarow. The national percentage of students who had done heavy drinking in the last two we·eks was 41.7 in 1989. That groups high was reached in 1984, when the percentage was 45.4.

Following the national drop in drinking has been a drop in other problems associated with alcohol consumption.

The decreasing problems include drunk driving accidents and arrests, and violence related to drinking. .

One percentage which has remained constant in the last decade is the percentage of college students whQ have had at least one drink in the last decade. This number stood virtually unchanged at 90 percent throughout the 1980s.

Fraternities, a major source of drinking problems throughout the 1970s and early '80s, have made a concerted effort to combat the "Animal House" image which pervades thoughts about campus life. Recent programs fraternities have run on the nation's campuses have emphasized alcohol education and stricter control of alcohol supply policies.

One of the major reasons fraternities have adopted the stricter policies seems to be money. Liability insurance rates for frats have sky-rocketed in the last ten years. In an effort to limit liability, several fraternities

have formed an insurance purchasing coalition. The coalition seeks to lower rates by advocating stricter alcohol control.

These more stringent controls come in conjunction with further limits placed on alcohol policies by campuses across the country. One national trend has students leaving college residence halls in favor of off-campus housing. College administrators claim that this trend is due to under 21year-old students trying to escape the prying eyes of college security forces.

One of the other areas of major importance relating to alcohol consumption on college campuses is its effects on young women. The prevalence of female heavy drinkers in college isoverten percent higher than in the general population.

An article in College View magazine cites several reasons for the prevalence of female drinking on campuses. According to Princeton graduate Andrea Ryan, quoted in that publication, "Everybody drinks. It's a quick way to relieve tension and gain confidence."

As noted in the article, women must play a huge number ofroles in today's society.

They must be attractive, assertive, intelligent, thin, decisive, caring, and friendly to name a few. College View's Caroline Knapp attributes the rise in female drinking to attempts to relieve the pressure from these many and varied roles.

One of the most disturbing trends in the rise in female drinking is the accompanying changes in sexual activity. A 1981 national survey from the University of North Dakota found that most women said that alcohol lessened inhibitions most people feel about sex and intimacy.

22 percent of the women surveyed said that alcohol made them more sexually assertive. A 1986 study cited in the magazine reported that 4 7 percent of those surveyed had had unplanned sex because of drinking.

Many people drink to feel better or because they believe alcohol will enhance their sexual performance.

Alcohol is actually a depressant drug which will generally intensify feelings of loneliness,

Senior girls consume gossip and "good times." (file photo by Kristin Kroll) insecurity and/or depression. Alcohol also interferes with the body's motor responses.

This results in lower than usual sexual performance and problems coordinating movement.

Alcohol is an addictive substance. Every time a person consumes alcohol and gets "drunk," their tolerance for the drug is increased. The next time that person wants to get drunk, more alcohol is needed. The addiction grows as the person needs more and more alcohol to get the same high as they were trying for.

As a drug, alcohol also interacts, sometimes fatally with other drugs. A combination of alcohol and common cold tablets can

r

have tragic, even deadly results.

Long-term solutions to campus alcohol problems involve changing the way society views women. Drinking will continue to occur in greater proportion for women as long as they have to live up to a "superwoman" image, according to Brown University's Toby Simon, as quoted in College View. ·• - Also needed are earlier alcohol education programs, hopefully beginning in the home, Dr. A. Lee Fritschler, president of Dickinson College, said in the New York Times. Psychological profiles are done on violators of the alcohol policy at UCLA. They determine if a student is at risk of becoming an alcoholic.

the responsibilities from the staff does a couple of things. If you take away the disciplinary aspect, it leaves the job up to Randi, Tyrone, or myself and we can't be in the same place at the same time.

If you take away the managerial tasks you lose the focus of an RA. Each component has its own value."

Should the position be given to a graduate student from another college?

Doyle feels the two year maturity difference is enough. If the freshman cannot feel comfortable going to the RA to communicate then the resident life staff cannot help. The end result is that the student buries their problem.

He also feels, that the graduate students wouldn't be affiliated with the institution and naturally wouldn't be connected with the policies of the school.

Golf fund-raiser to benefit Cabrini Athletic Department

by Kevin George

In just one day, you can play a round of golf on one of the area's most exclusive courses, meet the most famous amatuer goJfer in America, and help the Cabrini Athetic Department expand its budget.

You can do all this by entering the Cabrini Golf Classic, May 16. The entrance fee is $200 per person, but Cabrini's Athletic Director John Dzik, indicated that you get a lot for your money.

The program begins at the TorresdaleFrankford Country Club in Northeast Philadelphia with an 11 a.m. buffet lunch. Tee-off is set for I p.m. and golfing will continue until 6 p.m. A cocktail hour will precede dinner at 7 p.m., which will be served in the country club's dining room.

The tournament includes a chance to meet Jay Sigel, the most well-known amatuer golfer in the United States, although Dzik said Sigel's appearance is contingent on the man's personal business engagements.

With a little luck, the day could turn into a windfall for participants. Should anyone sink a hole-in-one, they win a new car or $20,000.

A week-long golf vacation for two to Pinehurst, North Carolina will beraffled off at dinner.

The event is organized and sponsored by the Athetic Advisory Board which is currently in a reorganizing stage, Dzik said.

The board is waiting for instruction from College President, Eileen Currie, MSC, for

instructions on how to reorganize.

Freshman Matt Brush worked through the seventh, when he was touched for three runs before finally retiring Bloomsburg.

The Cavs attempted a comeback at that point, when center-fielder Bill Fulton doubled, and first baseman Frank Emmerich was hit by a pitch. Emmerich's jaw was broken, and he had to leave the game. A towering Mike Caraffa blast plated three runs, narrowing the deficit to 7-3.

"Well, Emmerich's out for the season," first base coach John Doyle said. "He's really hoping that the injury won't affect his campaign." The injury worried Mellon.

"That's three guys who are potential starters to go down in one week," he said. '' Another week like this, and we may as well give it up.''

"We've really gotto come togethernow," Mellon said. "If we want to make the NCAA championship, we 're going to have to win every game from here on out."

A lett~r from a dedicated fan and supporter Dear Editor: While I enjoyed Ozzie and Pete's coverage of our premier baseball season, I must point out some journalistic oversights in their last column (3-30). They neglected to mention that the opening ceremony of the new 25 million dollar Romano field was certainly enhanced by Kite-Man Emmerich's gliding descent from the right field grandstand. He executed a perfect landing on the mound and presented the ball to starting pitcher Kilroy. That more jeers than cheers emanated from the 1100 fans was due to the dismaying fact that 1000 of the atten-

dees were from Fordham.

The most glaring omm1ss1on, however, was the failure to report the sparkling GROUND BALL triple play pulled off by our guys in the top of the fourth. With Ram runners on first and second and the infield in tight, the Fordham batter hit a onehop smash at the third base bag. Matt Hodlofski, who moved to third when Pesotski went in at second for defensive measures, simultaneously speared the ball and touched the bag. He wheeled and fired a strike to second. Leaping high to avoid the on-coming Fordham runner, Pesotski rifled a

bullet to first beating the running Ram batter by half a step. Hodlofski to Pesotski to Churnetski will surely replace Tinker to Evers to Chance in the folklore hall of fame.

Congratulations to our team for a great season and good luck in the play-offs.

Sincerely yours, A. Fann

Janusz kept the game alive with a block and then went to the service line where Cabrini edged another point.

The match ended, much like how the season ended; 15-4, 15-4, 15-7. TheCavsfailed to win a game in the Haverford match and failed to win a match all season.

Keefe claimed that the volleyball team's trouble was that they "weren't together."

Tucci blamed the unsuccessful season on the team "not having enough hitters except Timmy and Leo.'' Coakley, who played in his last home game for Cabrini said, "there was no blocking and no bumping' ' and in the season there was "no blocking, no bumping and no hitting." ''Everything needed work, but we never worked on it. Instead of practicing, we played," said Coakley.

Charvala said ''it was the end of a lousy season and it was kind of depressing in a depressing atmosphere.''

Cavs firing and swinging their way to ESAC top

by Kevin George With favorable skies, consistent swings and some emotional concentration, Cabrini's golf team has a shot at winning the ESAC tournament title this season.

So far, the sun has neglected to show for the team. The opening match against Shenandoah was cancelled due to inclemency and the second match, up in Allentown, was played in a drizzle.

In the Allentown match on Monday, the Cavaliers lost by 39 wet strokes, 337-376.

Golf matches are scored by combining the four lowest scores on each team.

Captain Brian Kilroy, lead the Cavaliers with a score of 82, and junior Debbie Malveaux backed him up with a 93. The rest of the team played "horrendous" in Coach John Dzik's words.

But Dzik is not discouraged by a bad team performance in the rain, and he is looking forward to success in a challenging schedule which includes some tough opponents.

This Monday, a four-way match with Division I opponents Villanova, Penn and Pharmacy at the exclusive Aronomik Country Club in Malvern, will be the team's biggest challenge of the season.

Kilroy said a realistic goal for the team is eight wins which would make them a .500 team. Ever since Kilroy' s freshman year, the team has gotten "a little better each year," the captain said. ''We're more stable this year than in years past,'' Kilroy assessed. Consistency is something, Dzik says is needed by every playeron the team. But as for their biggest weakness, Dzik would like to see the young players develop "emotional maturity." "Golf requires that you keep your emotions under control. If you make a bad shot, you can't let it get to you, and if you make a great shot, then you have to make another," Dzik said.

"Malveaux is probably are most consistent player,'' the coach said. '' She just hits them straight down the fairway.''

Kilroy though is the team's number one player, and Dzik says he could make regional

All-American if he plays to his potential.

Kilroy said his personal goal is to capture the individual title in the ESAC which barely eluded him two years ago in a sudden death playoff.

Junior golfer, Stephen Wescott, is the number two man on the squad, Dzik says with Malveaux completing the third position. The fourth, fifth and sixth positions are being battled for by a pack of six other golfers: Eddie Avena, Alex Mairone, Glen J askelewicz, Michael "PickJes" Conner, Michael Young, and Terrance Donohue.

While wins would be nice, Kilroy said Coach Dzik and the team would really like to beat Allentown in the ESAC tournament.

Mairone said the team taJces a serious but realistic attitude toward the matches.

"If we win, great. If not, then we're just glad to get out and have fun," the junior said.
