Xavier Hall dorm damage accounted

by Carlo Iacono Although still occuring at a high rate, vandalism in Xavier Hall has stabilized after the implementation of special interest housing last fall.

The 1989 resident life experiment of rewarding non-vandalizing residents with spots on residential boulevard, and congregating vandals in Xavier Hall has caused the total of overall unattributed campus vandalism to shrink by 50 percent.

According to the monthly damage report compiled by the physical plant office, total campus damage has reached $16,542 this year. But that report documents total damage done to the campus, which is not necessarily total resident vandalism damage.

Michael Caranfa, chief physical plant officer, said, "Our list is a compilation of abnormal wear and tear to the campus grounds and buildings. It is not a vandalism report.''

According to John Doyle, director of resident life, damage is billed to the individual responsible based on a list compiled by physical plant. If no individual is found, the bill is footed by the room where the damage occurred. If a common area is destroyed without accountability, then the quad in

reform. This reform would also be in close proximity to freshman, who have a natural propensity to vandalize, and thus keep their vandalism in check.

Dwight Walters, a senior who resides in Xavier due to his high vandalism rate last year, said, "We (male seniors who live in Xavier) are examples of what happens when you do damage. Thus we create an atmosphere of peer pressure that tells freshman not to do stupid things. That works more than fining. ''There were no upperclassmen in this building to say stop."

Sophomore Xavier resident Bill Keenan said, "I definitely see more respect for this building this year. Freshman will vandalize anywhere, but I don't see them climbing out of windows this year."

On an individual level, damage costs have decreased among returning Xavier residents. ''The money out of my pocket will be less this year," Keenan said. "I'll say it will go from a total of $200 last year to no more than $50 this year."

Caranfa said, "I don't see excessive damage this year. The numbers are more concentrated (to Xavier) this year, but Xavier in particular is no worse.''

Resident life believes therehas been a lot

and, if necessary, then the building. '' Accountability is up, and in fact some individuals are turning themselves in," Tyrone Carr, assistant director of resident life, said.

The numbers of incidents that involve vandalism are hard to define. The resident life office knows better this year who is vandalizing and so the cost to non-vandalizing residents has decreased.

Doyle believes that 50 percent of the vandalism is attributed.

Doyle said, ''The number of overall vandalism has to be lower this year because the amount in the houses is down."

The numbers Doyle spoke about are the ones of this year's male residences, including Xavier. The average amount of damage per resident in the male residence of house one last year was $100, house four totaled $48.21, Counsel Hall registered $60, and the south floors of Xavier pulled in at $14 and $48 respectively. This year's male totals have deflated to about $1 apiece for house three and seven, and between $25-45 for each floor ofXavier. Counsel Hall, which is now a female hall, as no unattributed damage.

According to Doyle, college vandalism nationwide is a gender- related problem concerning males and usually mixed with alcohol. The special interest program for males worked. But the real key to experiment was the assumption that having chronic offenders in the same place would lead to

of changes in their department to curb residential vandalism. Their accountability has raised questions, according to resident

life. ''What in fact may look like more vandalism is really more accountable vandalism," Doyle said, "50 incidents were reported three years ago, now there are over 400 reported."

According to Doyle and Caranfa, vandalism at Cabrini compares well with other institutions of its size. ''It is the high accountability part that is uncommon to other institutions,'' Doyle said.

Carr said, ''Other institutions just boot people out. We have a difficult time here trying to kick people out, but we have tried.''

Doy le said, "We have had more removals in the past two years for vandalism and discipline than in the 30 years before.''

A small percentage of people, about 30 individuals, are doing the vandalizing, according to Doyle.

•'Only one-tenth of the resident population is doing the damage, and people are still focusing on the negative,'' Doyle said.

"This image problem may perpetuate more vandalism from non-offenders who feel they are not being recognized for the lower damage totals.

"Vandalism is bad and we still have to attack it. A lot of this is about pinpointing people."

Caranfa feels this accountability should more Xavier on 4

Over $3,400 worthof valuables were stolensometimeduringEaster breakfrom two rooms in House 5. The victims involvedarequestionningwhetherthe matter was handled effectively by the administratioo.

A stereo system valued at $800 was stolen from senior Hillary Hoch. Heather Schwarz, senior, is also missing a television valued at $300.

The women who were robbed did not feel that they had adequate support from administration.

When the burglary was discovered, resident life was notified. The women were told to call the police and resident life would call campus security. It is campus policy to leave the decision of notifying the police to the students. with crimes such as burglary.

Director of Resident Life John Doyle andTyroneCarr, assistant director of resident life, went down to the house to offer infonnation to the police and victims. llley remained there for about 20 minutes. llley did not stay throughout police questionning.

"We (the victims) did not feel like we had any . support from the administration," Wilson said ..

'• A police report is a private matter between the police andthe student,'' Doyle said "Our policy is to make contact, offer ourselves as support systems and, ifwe are not needed, to leave.''

"I felt that there were questions that I was unable to answer but, that (resident life) could have," Wilson said.

"He (Doyle) seemed to do the most he could do at that time,'' Schwarz said. '' It just upsets me very much that there is nothing the school could do-I wish they could do more." '' If they had asked us to stay we would have but, there was nothing we could do at that time,'' Doyle said. "We told the police and the women that if they had any questions or problems tQ contact us and that I would stop by later on that evening when I was doing rounds.''

According to Doyle, the resident life policy for handling a burglary is that one of the three senior staff members of · resident life will go to the location when a burglary occurs in the residencehalls.

Library director makes exit

by Jennifer Morrison Library Director Janet Dalberto will be leaving her position, due to personal reasons, at the end of this semester.

She had previously been director of the design/architecture, art and planning library at the University of Cincinnati.

In September of 1987, Dalberto came to Cabrini and was named library director.

According to Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vicepresident of academic affairs and the library supervisor, Dalberto brought her devotion to the arts to Cabrini, '' She worked with faculty members in the arts especially,'' Biller said.

As director, she brought attention and changes to the library. Two terminals, which handle book acquisitions, interlibrary loans and cataloging, were added. This cut down on the evening and Saturday hours that staff members worked on the programs.

With the extra terminal the work can be done at any time.

Also two CD-ROM terminals, three psychlit data-bases, an ERIC academic index, and an academic index readers guide

were added to the technical service department.

'• Janet proposed and received a $10,000 National Endowment and a $8,200 Arcadia Foundation Grant. She also increased the materials budget $50,000," Biller said.

Beside grants and additional money to the library, Dalberto has added more shelves, a card catalog cabinet and microfilm cabinets.

Periodicals that are used more frequently were attached to the files, a security system was added, and outside speakers were brought onto campus.

Dalberto increased the number of hours the library was open from 76 to 84 hours per week. This necessitated an increase in the number of staff members. Biller said the work study students were given more professional responsibilities, allowing them to be a bigger part of the library staff.

As of yet, Dalberto has no concrete plans for the future.

There is no mention of who will be the director next year; however, the position opening has been advertised nationally.

With hype gone so goes the earth

Flight attendants:

20 years ago college communities and universities were on their feet marching and carrying their voices through the streets. T~ey boycotted, rallied, were arrested, and closed down schools. It was a time of change.

It was a time during the Vietnam War, feminist movements, and coalitions against racism. It was during this era of vitality and social awareness that the first Earth Day took place on April 22, 1970.

Four months have passed since we marked the turning point of a new decade. The hopes and aspirations we toasted for the '90s have already seem to have fizzled.

What are our nation's vibrant and bright college students getting excited about? Are there rallies against the injustices of apartheid? Do companies still discriminate against hiring blacks and women? Are we too lazy to take

Earningtheir wingsevery day

Is Earth Day a one-time stunt that resurfaced to remind us of its anniversary? Does the hype gloss over its purpose and make it seem insincere? Are some of us bored with saving the Earth already? the extra effort to make recycling work?

It's fantastic that 100 million people got together to save the Earth this past weekend. Hopefully, even more are at least more aware of the simple changes of lifestyle that can make a difference to the environment.

But is Earth Day destined to be another Hands Across America or LiveAid? How many got sick of seeing the bloated bellies and sunken eyes that we turned off our compassion. How often do we hear about Ethiopia anymore?

Is Earth Day a one-time stunt that resurfaced to remind us of its anniversary? Does the hype gloss over its Pl!fPOSeand make it seem insincere? Are we caught up in the cheap-thrill of eco-pornography? Are some of us bored with saving the Earth already?

It makes us feel good when people come together for a common cause. We feel that there is strength in numbers and that together we really can change the world.

What we must remember is to carry our our individual responsiblity after the celebration day. We have to take recycling programs seriously.

Grass Roots shouldn't only be a spring cleaning but something we do every month and are conscious of every day both in the residence halls and campus. The college and food services should consider boycotting the use of companies that support apartheid.

As humans we have the choice to either destroy or replenish our world.

Our generation must take our place in history and start getting excited.

me gillan features editor As I walked down the jetway my one piece of carry-on luggage pulled on my shoulder and wrinkled my blouse. My eyes were drawn to the piece oftannac that was visible through the crack between the corridor and the plane as I stepped over it and onto the aircraft. When I picked my head up again a bubbly flight crew greeted me even though it was 8:55 in the morning.

Stowing luggage in the overhead compartments, assisting parents with young children and passing out complimentary magazines, these six individuals were making the first hours of over 200 people's vacations a little bit easier and much more pleasant.

Their efforts, however, were not helped by the weather and ground crew. It was April 7 and it was snowing, which meant the plane waiting fly to sunny Florida had to first be deiced. The flight crew walked back and forth through the length of the aircraft what seemed to be hundred of times in the course of one hour delay.

"Flight crew, please cross-check and prepare for take off,' ' said the voice from the cockpit over the address system. It was now show time.

The steward pulled out a arm full of safety paraphernalia from a small compartment under his jump-seat. Standing in the aisle he began to demonstrate' safety procedures simultaneously with the crew captain voice over the speaker.

The plane jerked as it was pushed away from the gate and the steward caught his balance with a hitch, he then continued pulling the strap on the seat belt to tighten it, just as the voice over the speaker instructed.I peered into the fitst class section to see the . stewardess demonstrating the procedures was jumping aheadof the instructions. She seemed to show how to use the equipment as if she was on auto pilot.

I was sitting in the first row of the coach section. facing the steward when we took-off and landed. He commented that this would be his only opportunity to sit down.

It was only for three or four minutes tops.

As soon as the plane was off the ground about one thousand feet he released his belt and started to get out the beverage cart. He pilot suddenly climbed in altitude. The cart began to tip over and my sister straightened both legs to try to help stop it from falling.

This is not a glorious job. As a little girl I always thought it would be a fantastic job to have. Travelling all over the world. Vacationing and flying everywhere you wanted to go. It's not like the glorified dream.

This particular flight crew would make three round-trips from Newark, New Jersey to West Palm Beach, Florida that Saturday and with the one hour delay their day would get three time longer. The steward estimated they would not land the last trip until lOp.m.-two and a half hours later than scheduled.

Their day would not be an easy one.

People in the front of the plane would get up and bus their own trays, staking them sky high on the galley's narrow counter top.

Lines of passengers waited to use the closet sized lavatory. '' I don't understand what the fascination is with the lavatory," said the steward as we came in for the landing. "We (the flight crew) will just about bust before

we would go in there.'' I felt claustrophobic sitting in my seat, as the line lengthened and squeezed into small area between my seat and the door.

The ladies nearest to me were complaining loudly that the stewardess in the back of the plane made them c01p.eup to the front and the stewardess up in the front of the plane was not very pleasant to them. I don't know how pleasant I would be if a crowd of people were crowding my work space getting in my way.

On a more serious note, these people are among the hundreds of trained stewards and stewardesses who fly everyday and in catastrophic circumstances remain calm and take our lives in their hands.

The made-for-television movies, such as the one about the aircraft over Hawaii that tore apart at the seams, the flight which crashed landed and rolled on the runway, the fight which crashed into a bridge right after take-off from Washington's Dulles International Airport, and the many flights which have been hijacked, all portray the disasters of flight.

For all the jokes about the mile high club, the tenn for high-altitude "romances," the annoying and inconsiderate passengers, the collecting of garbage up to six or seven times a day and the risks of mishaps these men and women endure, they should not be taken for granted. They are professionals making travelling easier for all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have been cleared for landing. Please return your tray tables and seat backs to their upright and locked positions.'' As the flight crew on the trip home said, "any unwanted jewelry and money as well as any leftover plastic cups can be given to the crew as they come through the cabin."

While this is not as he peeled a grape. an uncommon event (except to a "Couldn't get Quayle's damned goldfish) for someone who had been bib on," was the reply.

Criticsquestionadvertisingpolicies To the Editor: The advertisement for Phil Berg, a pro-choice candidate for governor, which appeared in the April 6, 1990 Loquitur spurred many questions for me. I asked the questions of myself and students, faculty and staff members. I questioned the appropriateness of printing a pro-choice ad in light of the philosophy of the college.

I did not wantto preach, judge nor condemn; I just wanted some answers. Who are the other candidates and what do they stand for? I read more about pro-life and pro-choice, and about the candidates running for governor in other publications.

I asked myself what it meant to me to be a woman, a Catholic, a campus minister, a voter and a citizen of the United States. The ad referred to rights; I began to review my rights. It referred to unwanted pregnancy; I put myself in the place of a pregnant woman and then in the place of an unborn child. The ad referred to the protection of rights and choices. I realized the unborn child had no rights and no choices. Which candidate would work to assure these rights? Which candidate would work to assure the rights of the elderly, the disabled, and all of us whose lives are endangered by pollution? (just to name a few issues.)

The ad gave options for people to get involved to support this candidate. Which candidate will I support? There is much that can be done to ensure basic rights politically, but there is a great deal that can be done on a personal level. What will I do to get involved? Does everyone need to ask such questions?

The last line of the mission statement of this college states, '' In keeping with the spirit of the College's patroness, St. Francis Cabrini, who affirmed the dignity of life, the college hopes to instill in each student a strong sense of

responsibility to the community at large.'' In keeping with this statement, I would be happy to share some of my findings on some of the ways we can affirm the dignity of life and be responsible in the community at large to protect basic rights and choices.

In conclusion, I am thankful for all the rights afforded to me. I am also thankful for this opportunity to share my opinions and experiences that were sparked by the political campaign advertisement. It provided a real opportunity for me to think.

Sincerely,

Francesca M. Bansbach, Campus Minister To the Editors and Staff of Loquitur: It Was with profound dismay and anguish that we Cabrini Sisters read the April 6 issue of Loquitur. Once again, the editorial staff exhibits its insensitivity and flagrant disregard for the values Cabrini upholds.

There are men and women on this campus who put their lives and reputations on the line in defense oflife. You mock and ridicule them by taking ads as on Page 9. No number of first class awards justifies that behavior. When so many strive so hard for good you don't offer them support just more sorrow. You grievously offend and hurt us, Loquitur.

Why is it that you seek to pull the reputation of this college down? Why is it that you feel it is alright for you to hurt and offend? Why do you use college equipment and resources to attack values we hold sacred?

We Cabrini Sisters repudiate what you say.

MSC'S of the College Community

Commuterdiscrimination?

To the Editor: I am writing this letter in response to an editorial that appeared in the March 30 issue of Loquitur. The editorial, ''Top priority: Freshmen or Seniors" made what I consider to be a derogatory comment toward the commuter students at Cabrini.

The author stated that until a new dorm was built, Cabrini will foster a "commuter" image which is inconsistant with the values of family which we strongly emphasize. Heaven knows, we wouldn't want to have that kind of an image.

The author makes commuters sound like a disease we would all be better off without. Then to have the gall to talk about values. What type of values could this person be operating under?

It really disappoints me that some people still have an attitude about commuters. We are all here, commuters and residents alike, to receive an education. This is one common bond that will always hold us together. To imply that commuters are not part of the Cabrini "family" is absolutely ludicrous. Anyone connected to the college, whether it be students, faculty or staff, is part of what has fondly been referred to as the Cabrini "family." We are all one. These are the values that this college was founded upon.

To think that some people still advocate the segregation of and discrimination against those students who havechosento live at home while attending college, makes me want to think twice about whether or not I really want to be a part of this "family."

Sincerely, Bob Salladino, freshman

"If the damage list runs up to $20,000, I'll be happy ifl see $3,000 to $4,000," he said.

Aside from accountability, resident life has ideas of industrial-strength screens for Xavier, monthly resident inspection sheets, and a recommendation to the school to get a security guard to sit at the front desk of Xavier and Woodcrest.

A full-time security force would cost $22,000 to $60,000 based on qualification.

"The guards would walk around every hour and observe the resident halls to account for any damage done and all guests in the building," Carr said.

Doyle said, "Education-and everyone being a part of the solution works. It is working very slowly, but it is working."

"We want resident life to let us know that they are here for us,'' Wilson said. ''They had available to them as much support as they wanted," Doyle said. "If anybody needs anything, all they need to do is ask."

Doyle was the only school administrator to approach Schwarz.

AH of the doors were checked on Thursday and then checked again on Friday by Doyle, to ensure that they were secure.

had been removed. There is reason to believe that the burglar left through the back door since the window was locked.

It remains unclear how the burglar gained access to Wilson and Kroll's room since there was no sign of criminal mischief.

There was a key hidden but, according to Kroll, only her "closest and most-trusted" friends could have possibly known where it was.

These particular rooms may have been picked since they are in the rear of the house and would not be easily seen by security.

Much of the evidence seems to point to the fact that the burglar may have been somebody who knew the victims. Kroll's camera had been hidden in her closet. According to Kroll, it was someone who was familiar with her and knew that she had an expensive camera.

The burglars, who were obviously not professional, were inconsistent in that they left behind many items of monetary value.According to Kroll, the burglar was ''considerate.'' ''They took the time to be so neat. He or she folded my sweatpants, closed the closet door and didn't break anything,'' Kroll said.

The room was so neat that they did not realize

"We leave forfourdaysandcan't leave anything here," Kroll said. "We locked everything and did everything we were supposed to.''

"Burglary underscores for us (Student Services) the fact that a college campus can be a vulnerable placewhen vacated by students and people need to take precautions to guard their valuables,'' Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students said.

Bonfiglio questions whether there are certain things that students should be bringing to school if they are of value. '' Although these students took all the necessary precautions, Cabrini College students as a rule are not security-conscious," Doyle said. He said that they do things like ~ave doors propped open without realizing the very real danger that they are putting themselves and their friends in.

He also commented that there would be a security-awareness program at Woodcrest next year which would also be presented to other residence halls.

The investigation is on-going and physical plant is trying to determine better ways of securing the houses, according to Doyle.

Turtlemania catapults heroesin a half-shell" from comic bookpages to silverscreen

by Sharlene Sephton Visiting New York for the first time, a six-year-old boy races ahead of his parents stopping at every comer to fling himself on the sewer grates. He presses his face to the ground and cans out, "Michaelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael!"

No, he hasn't just seen the Renaissance exhibit at the Metropolitan.

He has just seen the live-action motion picture, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The movie, .("Hey dude, this is no cartoon!''), is a climax to the mutantmania that now reaches 32 countries, according to an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The turtles follow the trend, lead by last year's "Batman," transforming comic book superheroes from their pages to three-dimensional life-sized crusaders. The original comic books first featured the radioactive heroes in a halfshell. They were created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman and the turtle comic books have become overnight collector's items.

The plot is a cross between "Star Wars" and "The Karate Kid." A rat named Splinter adopts four baby turtles after they are exposed to a glowing liquid inside the sewer that enables them to take on a semi-human form and talk.

The turtles follow the trend, lead by last year's "Batman," transforming comic book superheroes from their pages to three-dimensional life-sized crusaders.

Their mentor teaches them the sacred meditations and skills of the Japanese ninja warrior in between skateboardipg and pizza parties.

As they venture to the surface of New York, the bandanna-wrapped turtles become involved with a series of bizarre crimes, held by a gang of juvenile delinquents called the Foot. A Darth Vadar-like villain called Shredderleads the Foot to rebel against the society that has rejected them.

About to be mugged by Foot gang members, a beautiful investigative reporter, April O'Neil, played by Judith Hoag, who is'dressed more appropriately for a street-comer than a newsroom, is saved by the turtles.

At Golden Harvest Films, which has sponsored the Turtle concept from the beginning, Tom Gray is head of production. The Inquirer review quotes,"' We wanted to remain true to the original comic,' notes Gray. 'We're cognizant of the 500,000 readers out there. They don't want a live-action cartoon. So we tried to aim the humor at the comic fans, and to the parents who are going to be dragged into the theaters--we hope--by the children."'

No matter how ridiculous the plot, the dialogue does include some sophisticated one-liners. References to The Grapes of Wrath and a door-slamming session straight from a script from Moonlighting, may not relate to a first-grader, but the humor is still there.

How thrilled parents will be .willing to spend their family budget on an outing where the scenes are filled with shellcrushing violence and the first word we hear from the green

~~

Inquirer, to facilitate the turtles' ninja action. And teenstar, Corey Feldman, provided for the voice of Donatello.

Let's do away with the realism and give the turtles credit for living up to their portrayal of today's glorified brazen youth. (Alongside Bart Simpson.) Mutant-madness has swept the country from turtlewear underwear to Ellio's Turtles Pizza to their own Turtle Rap played on top 40 radio stations. Cowabunga dude!

Trump's TajMahal:a dazzling mirageonthe boardwalk

by Kelly Walsh Imagine two levels of marble floors, crystal chandeliers, glitter and bright lights everywhere. Imagine different people dressed in extravagant uniforms, seeing security guards every time you turn around and nine different restaurants from which to choose. Imagine the new casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Trump Taj Mahal.

The excitement ran high in the last few weeks. Many wondered if the casino would meet its opening date deadline.

On April 2, 1990, Trump Taj Mahal.Casino Resort, the Eighth Wonder of the World, was given the go-ahead for its trial run by the Casino Control Commission of the State of New Jersey. Slot players used real money while play money or chips were used at the tables. The Grand Opening was April 5, I 990.

The entrance of the Taj is a very impressive. It is surrounded by fountains and gleaming white stone elephants. The three crystal chandeliers hanging over the escalators from the second level to the casino are a magnificent sight. The twenty-four 5,000 piece chandeliers of Austrian crystal are a sight to behold. The spacious hotel lobby with its I 15 foot-long desk has marble flooring with center inserts of carpeting. To the right of the lobby is the huge Mark G. Etess Arena, which can seat 5,200 people.

Walking through the casino in amazement, people were guided to the slot machines or any other desired games by bright neon lights. In the casino, there is something called a CASBAH. This is where they have different singers and bands come in to entertain. Along

with the entertainment, there are about 70 small tables, each with a tiny lit candle on them, and about 30 booths.

While listening to the music, people can sit back and relax in comfortable chairs and have a cocktail or something to eat.

Along with having complimentary drinks when playing the tables, the Taj also hasetherpromotions and sights to see. Different workers dressed in attractive and neat unifonns made happy faces for youngsters and some older people too. Some were on stilts, bells on their hands, and one had a puppet. This made children stop and stare.

Others were giving out sweepstakes chances to win a 735 i BMW, an Acura, and two Rolls Royces. This part made the older people stop, stare at the car, and fill out those sweepstakes.

The Taj Mahal has nine lounges, nine restaurants, and 3,010 slot machines. As for the hotel, there are 1250 rooms, 250 suites, and on two floors of the suites, the rooms are at a cost of $10,000 per night.

The Taj is also making the following plans: building a health club by June, a Super Star Theater by the Fall, a beauty salon, an arcade, and more gift shops.

While the facilities itself were very beautiful, it was very difficult to interview anyone in authority. No one was willing to give an interview without written permission of a superior and, as a result, this article was written with impressions only.

As for the reading the impressions of the Taj Mahal, one must see and experience the casino for oneself. The beauty and exhilaration will take people away. It's a sight to see.

heroes is "damn," is another question. The movie regenerates the question, how much of the moral do the kids grasp in between the "kick butt" sequences. The moral, according to Master Splinter is, "Ultimate mastery comes from the mind, not the body."

The $12.5 million production has been professionally done. Jim Henson's Creature Shop created "animatronic" turtle suits that hid a motor under the shells, according to the

Art Exhibit:

Conti, Watson culminate college years with show

by Leonora Veterano and Kelly Reed

There was the smell of paint in the air, feelings of anticipation and last minute details as the opening of the senior art exhibit was about to begin.

On Sunday April 22, the fine arts department sponsored the senior art exhibit. The works on display were created by seniors Cristina Conti and Maria Watson.

According to Gary Armstrong, associate professor of fine arts, this is a chance for the two seniors to launch their

"Maria. looks at the youth of today, her work is youth oriented,she is like the MTV of art."

- Gary Armstrong professor of Fine Arts professional art careers by displaying their art work on Cabrini's campus.

"I would like to see the campus community embrace the work,'' Armstrong said. •'It would be nice if the community could come see it and spend some time with it.''

There was not one member of the faculty or the adplinistration present at the opening of the Senior Art Show

on Sunday.

"I am very upsetthat no one from the administration had enough courtesy or respect to even stop in for a few minutes, "Conti said.

There were invitations sent to all of the faculty and administrative mailboxes, as well as an announcement on the college calendar put out by public relations.

There were also various flyers and advertisements put up around the college announcing the show and the time and place it would be held.

"I think that Sr. Eileen should have been a little more supportive, she lives a few feet from where the show is taking place,'' said Conti.

Sr. Eileen was unavailable for comment.

Conti and Watson will be displaying their best work from the years they have attended Cabrini. The two are hoping its' audience will view the exhibit as a strong and unique show.

Some of the works presented at the showings are on sale to the general public. Watson has already sold one of her art pieces, the Melancholy Girl. Most of Conti's work will not be for sale to the general public.

"My work is very special to me and a lot of them have sentimental value attached to them,'' Conti said. But Conti is willing to do replicas of any piece you may find to your liking. Only two of Conti 's works are on sale, La Rotonda, Vicenza, Italia and Villa Val Marana, Vicenza, Italia. Both of thf:pieces are done in etching ink.

Maria Watson decides what to hang up next as she prepares her work for display in the senior art exhibit.

Watson· s art features portraits, paintings-and drawings of the human face. "I find the human face to be far more interesting than objects," Watson said. "I get more feelings when I draw eyes and lips."

Watson finds she does get discouraged sometimes after putting in long hours and hard work in her art projects but she perseveres.

According to Watson, you can not let this get you down, you have to make it work for you. '' My work is a representation of me and my expressions which come through my art," Watson said.

Watson feels strong about her work, part of that feeling is because of their guidance and confidence that Armstrong has provided for her.

"Maria looks at the youth of today, her work is youth oriented," Armstrong said. "She is like the MTV of art."

According to Armstrong, Watson's work is more about pop culture which leans on figurative concerns.

"Pop art is astrong,money-makingform in our country today, a form which is moving fast," Armstrong said. "This is what Watson's art does, it talks about now."

Philip and Theresa Watson are very proud of what their daughter has been able to accomplish so far and support her every step of the way.

"I thought Maria's opening was beautiful, it made me proud to see her hard work on display,'' Mrs. Wat son said.

According to Watson's father "Maria works hard and it came as a pleasant surprise when she choose this particular field as a career choice.'' Mr. Watson feels his daughter will accomplish all of her goals because she's not afraid to take risks on herself.

Watson is already taking the step in the right direction as she is currently working at an advertising agency in Philadelphia.

Coni is feeling the anticipation of graduation in May, as well as the excitement of the art show. "I want others to enjoy my work and that will make me excited,'' Conti said.

Conti's work is mostly Italian landscapes and European pictures. She is very interested in Italian landscapes because her family is from Italy.

"I was able to study in Siena for the summer of '88," Conti said. "It was nice because instead of traveling I was able to study something which I enjoy."

Armstrong feels that Conti 's work is relevant because it presents an international flavor. "This is a current and popular issue of today,'' Armstrong said. •'Cristine is giving the art world what they want, which is a good idea on , Cristine· s part.''

In the future Conti would like to do free-lance illustrations for children ·s books.

Conti feels that the support of family and friends is a big help in her art career. '' A lot of family and friends attended the opening, so that was nice," Conti said.

Tom Conti is also very proud of his daughter and feels that she is accomplishing something great which is nice because she enjoys doing it. "I am a big supporter of Cristine as well as her mom,'' he said.

The Exhibit is being held on the second floor of Cabrini· s Library and will continue until the 16th of May.

by Kelly Reed

Senior women : Kristin Kroll, Suzanne Vacca, Kristen Castagna, Joy Ferkile and Sarah Melick "have a meetingin the ladies' room" (photo by Lisa Lyons)

--~...............

I II

Last Friday night, April 20 the seniors said farewell to their last Spring Formalwhile the rest of Cabrini "pumped up the jam" at the Tweleve Caesars on City Line avenue in Philadelphia.

The theme for this year's Spring Formal was ¡ 'I've loved these days," by Billy Joel.

There was the usual dinner for the seniors from 7-9 p.m. and then the party got into full swing at 9p.m. when the dance started.

Over 400 Cabrini students and their guests attended and by 10:30 the dancers were moving and shaking out onto the carpet.

The music was compliments of Silver Sound DJ's and the DJ was Rick Evans. They played a variety of music, everything from old-

time rock and roll, to Bobby Brown, to the smooth sounds of Sinead O'Connor 's "Nothing compares to you."

The senior class officers were recognized and were given special photo albums that the members of the sophomore class had put together for them.

Each of the photo albums contained pictures, poems, and other items that were important to the person it was made for.

There wm. also a special moment when Rita Calicat, former director of student activities, was honored with flowers and a small token of appreciation from the sophomre class officers.

AU and all it was a time for seniors to say farewell and for the rest of us to enjoy a good time with good friends.

for new students coming in, therefore athletics, when "seen" could be an attractive influence.

3) Sacred Heart Lobby could be utilized as a "money maker" for our athletic department. Food stands could be set up with work grant or work-study students working them and all moneys would go to the athletic department. The biggest bulletin board in the world can be put up, this way all game information, updates, announcements and anything else that has to do with the athletic department or teams would be visible.

4) The Captain's Club could play an active role in the running of the food stands and the collection of Hall of Fame materials.

Players could contribute or volunteer their time to the Fame and anything that would be beneficial to the Fame or athletic department would definitely be appreciated.

5) The Board of Trustees could use its influence to help out or possibly think of new ways to raise moneys for the athletic department. This could definitely be a big asset for both the teams and the college community.

6) Money would be a problem as it is in every department and organization on this campus. That is to be expected but through fund raisers, as small as 50-50 raffles, could take place and help alleviate some problems the athletic department faces each year.

I propose this unique idea to the college community. I think it is a good idea and would be absolutely beneficial to the athletic department and to the Cabrini students and fans as a whole. Denise has pledge<t,her support and enthusiasm to this project as Loquitur's sportseditorfornext year. If this proposal does go through, the true Cavalier spirit would have come through in the clutch again and hey, if it doesn't, another good idea for Cabrini will fall by the wayside again.

Philliesprovidefamily-funatmosphereand entertainmentin appreciationof their)ans

by Mark Gudas This year the Philadelphia Phillies are directing their promotional campaign more towards the fans than ever before.

Radio commercials begin by actually telling the listeners the commercial is being dedicated to them, the fans. The team is directing their promotional program towards adding extra special fun for the fans.

"During the lockout we qecided to show the fans that we care," Dennis Mannion, director of public relations for the Phillies, said. "We wantto letthe fans know that baseball is not a cold hearted business.''

Sixty percent of the Phillies revenue comes from ticket sales. During the lockout the fans were the people who got hurt the most, according to Minnion.

"We can't afford to lose the fans because they mean too much to us as an organization," Mannion said. "The players and management really do care about the people who support them."

There will still be the traditional image spots that highlight the players. The players will just sit down in front of the camera and talk to it.

"We want to highlight a hustling ball club," Mannion said. ''We can never get away from the traditional history of marketing a team."

This year the promotions department has different activities planned in the way of give-aways than in previous years.

The three new and biggest attractions are going to be a Phantom of the Game, a Fan of the Game and Autograph Monday.

The Phantom of the Game is going to be a promotional person who picks out a person or family and buys them hot dogs, soda, and tee-shirts. The lucky person will also get to sit in the booth with Phillies' broadcasters Whitey Ashburn and Harry Kalas and watch them broadcast a half inning of the game.

The Fan of the Game will also get to meet Whitey and Harry. He or she will also get an authentic baseball autographed by the entire team and they will get two complementary tickets to a game of their choice.

Autograph Mondays are going to take place every Monday when the team is playing at home. Before the game starts there will be six players available for the fans to get autographs from.

Some of the new attractions that will be on a lesser scale this year are going to be face painters who will give you a discount coupon for clothing merchandise, jugglers, and the birthday singers.

At Cabrini, students had their own opinions about the Phillies new promotional campaign. Some like it because they feel that is the only way the team can get fans to go to the games.

"I think it is good that they are staring to appeal to the fans," freshman Veronica Hoffman said. "They have to give the fans some incentive to go to the park.'• "They have to get the fans there somehow," freshman Jen Pagano said. "Their play sure isn't going to attract the fans."

"I think it is smart advertising," sophomore Matt

Hodlofski said. ''They have to do something to attract the fans."

Another student thought the team was making the right move by appealing to families.

"It is good because baseball needs more family fun," senior Colin Coakley said. "I like how they are trying to bring back the' dad taking junior to the game' atmosphere."

Another student felt they are finally getting their act together.

"They are moving in the right direction," freshman Chris Conrad said. '' A team that plays sub .500 ball needs all the fan support it can get.'•

Gittens receives All-Philadelphia honor

by Denise Edwards Once again Cavs senior guard, Marko Gittens, has been named on the All-Philadelphia Area Small College Team. Gittens was one of IO players chosen from the Philadelphia area's NCAA Division II, III, and NAIA college teams.

The award was presented to Gittens, Monday evening April 23, at the 44th Annual Herb Good/Big Five Basketball Club Awards Banquet held at Colleen's Restaurant..

Gittens was chosen by a committee of sports writers that cover the games in the surrounding Philadelphia areas.

"I was honored to be in the same company of a lot of very good basketball players and people," Gittens said.

Some of the other athletes honored were Lionel Simmons of La Salle for being the leading scorer among Big 5 players, Player of the Year (forthe 3rd consecutive year) in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and Outstanding Player in the Big 5. Bo Kimble of Loyola Marymount for Outstanding Visiting Player. Chris Walker of Villanova was named All-Big 5 First Team and teammate Tom Greis was named to the Second Team.

Gitten 's fellow rivals Jeff Misenko of Philadelphia Pharmacy and Will Hartsfield of Glassboro State, were also named to the AllPhiladelphia Area Small College Team.

"This banquet was an excellent opportunity for small colleges to be recognized as well they should be,'' Gittens stated.

John Dzik, head basketball coach and

Senior Cavs guard Marko Gittens (photo courtesy of the public relations office) athletic director attended the banquet with Gittens. ''Gittens was well deserving of the award," Dzik said. "He is certainly one of the best small college players. He was definitely a very strong candidate for the All-Philadelphia Player of the Year Award.

He is a scholar, gentleman, and a winner."

Gittens will be missed on the court next season for several reasons. This year he lead the Cavs in steals, rebounds, and scoring.

Gittens holds the Cavs second all-time leading scoring and rebounding records. He also went over the 1,000 point mark in this seasons away game against Lincoln University, therefore becoming Cabrini's 11th 1,000 point performer.

"Gittens possesses tremendous talent and can hurt you in many different ways. He is certainly one of the better athletes we go up against,'' said Jim Hutnick, head basketball coach at Allentown College.

"Marko Gittens has played all positions asked of him - from point guard to power forward to a post player and excelled at all of them. Any player with these kinds of skills truly deserves to be an All-American candidate,'' said William Werkiser, head basketball coach, at Delaware Valley College.

Gittens has been nominated as a candidate for NCAA Division III All-American honors. The results of the nomination process will hopefully be announced before Graduation Day on May 20.

Previously, Gittens has been named to the 1988 Philadelphia All-Area Team and has been named twice as Philadelphia Area Small College Player of the Week in 1988 and 1989.

If Gittens gets the 1990 All-American award, you can bet he will have an AllAmerican smile on Graduation Day.

Cavs lose to Widener; hopes still high

by Lou Monaco "The season has been going real good, except one important ingredient is missing.

Unfortunately, we don't know what that ingredient is,'' said junior co-captain of the woman's softball team, Michelle Ballinghoff.

The Cavs still didn't find that missing ingredient as they lost to Widener Univer;ity on Tuesday afternoon, 12-7.

Sophomores Jen Bannar, Kathy Murray, Angela DiJoseph, Maureen McGlone and juniors Nancy Boyle and Ballinghoff, all played well defensively, keeping the Lady Cavs right in it till the end.

"We played really well. We hit well and our defense was good. We had a 7-6 lead with two outs in the top of the seventh inning and we just couldn't get the knockout punch," Bannar said. ''Widener's pitching staff was the fastest we have seen this season and yet, we hit them

pretty good,'â&#x20AC;˘ Ballinghoff said.

The Cavs stand at 6-10 on the year and the last four games of the year are very important to the team.

"With Coach Tajirian this year, Ifeel our

Coach is really looking forward to a "fullyear" of coaching with the team," Bannar said.

"Two weeks before the season started, our coach came. The team started late and

OLLEGE (Home) at 1:00 p.m games were upon us all the time. I feel the talent is there, it's just that the off-season training would be good for us,'' Murray said.

"The games that we have lost have been very close. The team is just not getting the breaks we need to win some of these ballgames," Bannar said.

As the team looks forward to next year, the team is in high spirits and are detennined to make advances.

"Next year, we have to be more aggressive and our hustle has to be a little more.

Only two seniors will be on the tearr1 next year, so the talent is there but we have to play a little bit smarter ball,'' Murray said.

"More consistency in hitting and more confidence in our individual and overall play will definitely help the team next year," Ballinghoff said.

The last games of the year will take place on April 30, at home against Misercordia College in a doubleheader.
