The windows in Resident Director Andrew Mc/fray's 1990 Honda Civic were smashed by vandals . in the early morning hows of Sun. Nov. 11. Damage to the car was estimated at over $1000.

by Jennifer Morrison

Vandals damaged a 1990 Honda Civic owned by Andrew Mcilroy, resident director, sometime in the early morning hours of Sun., Nov. 1I. The damage, estimated at over $1,000, was discovered by Cabrini security officers at 6:41 a.m. and reported to the Radnor Township Police Department. Mcllroy's car had been parked in the library parking lot.

According to a Radnor police • incident report, Mcllroy's wind-

shield, rear window and two left side windows were smashed and there was a dent in the hood, which was caused by a rock.

Mcilroy added that the trunk and side panel were dented and the tail light was broken.

Cathy Caulfield, director of resident life, said that there were suspects and the situation is under investigation. · The incident angered and upset Mcilroy. "It makes me feel sick," Mcilroy said. "I find it sad that people have to act out in such a

childish way."

According to resident life officials this isn't the first time that vandalism and harassment have happened to staff members.

Mcilroy has been physically assaulted, verbally harassed several times and in one instance had a note left on his desk in the admissions office that said, "We don't like you."

Recyclinglacksnewsprintoption

by J.P.Raynock At the beginning of the 1990 fall semester, Cabrini College instituted a recycling program in accordance with the new state law. Currently, the school is recycling aluminum, cardboard and highgrade office paper. However, to date there are no facilities to recycle lower grade paper, among which the chief type is newsprint.

Dan Malloy, engineer for Radnor township and director of recycling, said that the township recycles aluminum, tin, glass, two types of plastic, and low as well as high grade paper. Malloy said \..

that the township had been collecting newspapers at the municipal building until someone had set fire to them.

However, the township still picks up nearly 40 tons of paper a week from residences.

The problem, according to Malloy, is that the market for low grade paper, especially newspapers, has been glutted on the east and west coasts. '' At one point we were being piiid $25 a ton. Now with the market, we're paying $15 a ton to have the papers

Grow up or get out Cowards. Many of us witness the savage behavior corrupting the campus and our homes, and yet we stand in silence.

This is a far cry from the commitment to dignity and courage we celebrated during Mother Cabrini's Feast Day this past Tuesday.

Instead, we settle for much less than these ideals. We should be sickened by our failure to uphold these principles and quality of life.

We allow residence halls to be gutted every week. Staff members are being harrassed and threatened. Cars are being hidden off-campus in fear of another violent attack on property. These devastating actions are not done by the campus majority. But simply being silent, respectable, good people is just as damaging as the fist being slammed through the window. Through their implied consent, the good people are just as guilty.

We must let those who are doing the wrongs know their peers are disgusted by their actions.

We can't afford to wait for administration. The code of conduct is not being effectively enforced. Offenders are getting away with murder, and soon it won't be surprising if this st~tement could be taken literally.

Students, faculty, and staff need to send a strong message. Those who abuse themselves, others, and our homes had better pack their bags and get out. We need to isolate the threat and confront it. Letthem know you won't be their friends, advisers, or teachers. They are not worth it.

The college shouldn't be a refuge for those who have no idea of the value or dignity which should be accorded to every single human being. Cabrini is not an institution of rehabilitation but of education. If one is not here for an education, then the students shouldn't be allowed to stay, whether they are student leaders or not.

With more people losing residency privileges, the college will suffer a short-term financial loss because of more empty beds. But isn't it better than the exodus of good students from campus, trying to escape from deplorable living conditions?

We had better hope that ten years from now when the envelope comes to - make a generous contribution to the college, the students will remember four years of friends and learning instead of the vandalism and disrespect.

The long-term financial viability of the college depends on it.

If damage control continues to eat away at the college's resources and attention, how can we concentrate on education? Students need to realize that learning never stops. The residence halls should be extensions of the classroom, not dens of destruction.

But most of all, we as students must make a commitment to each other.

None of us should tolerate the mindless destruction and senseless harrassment. But we are a part of the problem if we stand by and do nothing. ~

Just a thought ...

The presence of Mother Ursula, MSC, at the Mother Cabrini Feast Day celebration was truly inspiring, as well as her lecture. At 94 years of youth, Mother Ursula dazzles with her words and smile.

In all sincerity, she is a "Cabrini treasure," usually buried under her many translations of Mother Cabrini's letters in the Cabriniana room. Take her up on her invitation, and spend a few moments with Cabrini history.

viewpoint

Conducting the music of life jennifer morrison managing editor My viewpoint wouldn't be the same without music, so before I begin I would like to have you imagine that you are listening to a very relaxing yet powerful piece by your favorite composer. If you do not have one think of a piece by Pachelbel or a new age classical piece.

Music, to me, is very powerful. It can determine the fate of a situation and can also create an urge to love or hate. A simple

are singing songs that they practiced for weeks in music class and it is the song of joy that the children exclaim in the special way they can.

To me, children are the best communicators of music. They read into the composers' thoughts and sing for the audience and the gratification of the many reasons the holidays bring.

Music has been a very important part of my life. It relaxes me, helps me think and most of all keeps me in a great mood. It is somewhat amazing the feelings that conjure in my mind from one chord of music.

When I sing, I find myselflooking for the special chord that helps me understand the piece. There are many messages to music, because there are many ideas that a composer puts into a piece. Lyrics sometimes let a

The important part of music is that it lets me be myself.

It can really determine the way that I interpret the world.

It doesn't judge, me but boosts my spirit and life. At times of despair, music can be the inspiration that keeps me going. situation of boy meets girl is quite simple and sometimes boring unless I add tones of slow, romantic music to enhance the situation and pique my interest.

All of a sudden, the slow relaxing movements of the flirt, to the ultimate laugh and finally a kiss, can mean so much more with music. Sounds can really enhance a person's feelings and energy.

In Walt Disney's "Fantasia," the pixie sprinkles dust on the stem of a leaf. The dust begins to flow from the stem and filters throughout the leaf till it sparkles and gives the gift of life to an important part of nature.

The Disney animators added music that was mystifying yet enchanting and awoke the audience to a series of beautiful spectacles. From the pixie to the dust to the leaf, everything shimmered to the music.

Last week I went to the ballet. I could see the ballerinas reaching out to the music, touching each chord and finding themselves through the one thing that keeps their love for music alive. Each step. each gesture, each feeling is brought on by a love for what they're doing. The music is to them what to some happens when the stock market climbs. a lead to a story grabs a reader, or a life is saved.

All of these feelings and aspirations enhance a person's life, yet in every situation the incredible sounds of music grab the aspiring person. To some, "Happy Days are here Again" could sound in their ears or maybe Handel's "Messiah" could stream throughout their souls. But no matter what the music, the feeling means the most.

At this time of the year music is very apparent and on hand. Families enjoy listening to songs of holidays and teach each other the importance of togetherness and love during the holiday season through song.

Choruses of "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas," or "The First Noel," mix with others like •'Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "Frosty the Snowman."

During this season not only words and stories move and shake people, but the music is the background theme to life. In a department store I can hear the sounds of the holidays yet I seem to not notice it because it is a natural sound that means a lot to me.

My favorite part of the season is the many important and always entertaining school productions of the holidays. The children

listener understand the outerfeelings ofthe composer, but to find the inner feelings I need to listen to the chords in the piece.

The important part of music is that it lets me be myself. It can really determine the way that I interpret the world. It doesn't judge me but boosts my spirit and life. At times of despair, music can be the inspiration that keeps me going.

I remember trying to stop thinking for 30 seconds in fifth- grade health class. The thoughts in my mind were ,musically inclined. 1 found my true feelings for music developing like the ballerinas and the animators. I've kept this feeling throughout my Iife and don't feel I will ever see it leave. It has become a necessity.

All of us have a special musical tone.

When we find it we find ourselves. but like the pixies and leaves we may need a little music, maestro.

At Cabrini, we also expect our resident assistants to support the values of the college in the residence halls through abiding by, and enforcing college policy. Of all our expectations, this one is probably the most problematical.

Is it realistic to expect that students can police the activity of their peers to ensure that an environment that supports the goals of the institution exists in the residence halls? Is it realistic to expect that students can be role models for other students?

more RESTRICTIONS from 1 we are prepared to do everything we have to do to make sure (Currie's) words are carried out."

Currie said that it would be assumed that anyone caught violating the new rules no longer desired to be a part of the Cabrini residential community. "To those who do not want to continue to live at Cabrini in an ethical way, accepting the rules of this institution fully, I expect that when you leave your room on Tuesday night for the Thanksgiving holiday, you will have removed all of your belongings, with no intention of returning,'' Currie said.

Many residents expressed shock at Currie's restrictions. "My mind is blown," Lea Brundin, a resident assistant, said.

"We (female Xavier residents) are being punished for something we didn't do," sophomore Celeste Eschbach said.

"It's crazy that they actually take our freedom away."

"Something needed to be done, but not to this severity," Glen Jaskelewicz, sophomore, said.

Kevin Koknar, another resident assistant, said, "This is martial law."

Bonfiglio concurred. "This is martial

law," Bonfiglio said. "But before it was civil war.''

Anthony Brocchi, vice president of institutional advancement said, "I hope thatthis is taken in the spirit it is given.'' Brocchi said the "spirit" of the speech was, "that there is a problem and changes need to take place.''

Frank Emmerich, Student Government Association president, met with Xavier residents at one a.m. Thursday morning, and received a petition signed by most of the female residents of Xavier Hall. The petition requests that Currie meet with the female Xavier residents to discuss the possibility of lifting sanctions against them. . According to Emmerich, he assured the students that he would communicate their message to Currie. ''I will bring any organized student interests to Sr. Eileen's office,'' Emmerich said.

In the hour following the meeting, two signs were posted on the front door of Xavier.

One read, ''Welcome to Alcatraz. You must leave by seven p.m. Enjoy your stay."

Another mandatory meeting has been scheduled for all male Xavier residents on Monday at 9:15 p.m. in the great room.

Grab the cold medicine and the tissues: Achoooo

by Kimberly Leblang Achoo! Once again you and your roommate race for the tissue box, knowing that the winner will engage in the tenderness of that last Puff tissue.

Thirty million Americans are racing to their tissue boxes, sneezing, coughing and achy. They are suffering from an ailment, the common cold. Chances are you will be the colds next victim. ''If you don't have a cold right now, the odds are three out of fourthat you will get one during the coming year." Dr. Don Powell, author of "A Year Of Health Hints, "writes.

The common cold has swept through Cabrini College campus, and it is affecting not only the student body, but the student's bodies. Look around your classroom and you will notice many empty seats, or seats filled with students who are constantly sneezing or coughing.

The campus health facility has been open for only a mere fourteen days, within that time frame 30 students have come in with colds.

Senior Carol Ann Gross is a diabetic and therefore has a very low immune tolerance. '' I catch a cold every season throughout the year. I become really stressed, trying to get up, go to classes and get all my work done. It is hard enough when you DO feel good, let alone when you don't feel well at all," Gross said.

Another virus victim has been Debbie Maryott. · 'Ever since I was a little girl I've gotten a cold every fall," Maryott recalls.

Freshman year Maryott was struck with a severe cold, her sophomore year she suffered from Mononucleosis and this year she had a bronchial infection which her doctor informed her could tum into Phemonia if she wasn't cautious.

"Sophomore year I was totally immobile. I slept through classes. No one could wake me up. Normally all someone has to do is tap me and I awake,'' Maryott said.

Maryott believes she receives colds during transitions. For instance, coming

back to school after a break, or after exams.

Maryott believes students study habits may have an influence on the chances ofreceiving a cold. ''l feel that a college student's lifestyle of late nights and early classes may make us more prone to illnesses,'' Maryott said.

Director of the Health Service at Cabrini, Susan Fitzgerald believes that the season has an impact on the cold virus. '' During Fall. most people go inside and shut their windows. This enables us to have closer contact with people. Someone might sneeze or cough and then touch something you will latertouch and therefore you will receive the virus germ and catch a cold,'' Fitzgerald said.

Powell backs up Fitzgerald's statement: ''Colds travel from one person to another via coughs and sneezes, but studies show colds are transmitted by the spread of mucus on the hands of someone who has a cold. You could touch towels or money, someone else picks them up and thus catches your germs,'' Powell writes.

Since there is no pill or vaccination exsisting to fight the common cold, people need to take precautions. First of all, wash your hands. "People need to wash their hands more! They don't realize just how important it actually is,'' Fitzgerald urged.

Also, use disposable tissues when you sneeze. As well, avoid touching other people and their belongings while sick.

The symptoms of the cold consist of sneezing, running nose, slight fever, sore throat and a dry cough. A cold normally lasts for three to seven days.

So, if you are a victim of the common cold be sure to rest in bed, drink lots of hot or cold liquids, take asprin and breath air through a vaporizer. As well, another myth has proven effective, CHICKEN SOUP! Yes, it' chicken soup clears mucus from nasal passages and the broth contains a substance that inhibits the cold virus. See, having a cold isn't all that bad. Look at it as an excuse for mom to make her homemade chicken soup.

Fighting the common cold Director of Health Services, Susan Fitzgerald gave the following suggestions to combat the common cold and to keep yourself healthy during the cold season.

The common cold presents iteself in a variety of symptoms which are all signals for you to get out the cough syrup and the puffs tissues. *sneezing ~ynose *stuffy head

Gene's. Bookstore voted 'Philly's Best' by magazine

by Elizabeth MacGuire Gene's bookstore in King of Prussia has been named best in the Philadelphia area by' 'Philadelphia Magazine."

Gene's has won this honor twice before, once for its magazine selection and the second time for its large supply of travel books.

This time, though, Gene's was voted to be the best general bookstore. Customer service and the size of its inventory are the key ingredients to the success of Gene's bookstore.

Gene Massey, the owner, was honored that "PhiladelphiaMagazine" said that his bookstore was the best in the area. He showed that he earned that mention by being involved with every aspect of the business. As in all businesses, "the customer comes· first.''

At Gene's they make sure that this saying is true by ''trying our hardest to get books for customers by whatever means possible.''

"We try to leave customer with something positive," Fred Monsimer, a Gene's employee, said.

"Close teamwork and organization can also be attributed to Gene's

success. We try our best to you could ever need.''

Its large straighten out problems as quickly selection also attracts a lot of as possible.''

"They have mostly every-

thing,'' Tomchick said.

Gene's has grown a lot in the past 10 years. When Gene's first opened in the Lawrence Park Shopping Center in 1980, it was like any other small independent bookstore.

Two years later they moved to King of Prussia Plaza and changed the way they did things. They did such good business that they decided to expand the store. The expansion which happened last year was a real change for Gene's, according to employees. ''They had to change the way they do things,'' Smith said.

To celebrate their 10th anniversary in September, Gene's had a sale in which three categories of books were discounted every week.

Then they had a deal in which if you brought in an old sales receipt you would get a gift certificate.

"One of the sales receipts was from 1984," Monsimer said.

Steve Mandell, the store's customer service manager, disagreed.

He thought the oldest one was from 1986. This does show, though, that Gene's has a lot of repeat customers.

In the near future, Gene's is planning to open a second store in

the area. This will be good news to those who travel 50 miles to go to Gene's.

"Hopefully, this store will be the very complete bookstore that I saw in the King of Prussia plaza," said Inman. Maybe then, too, Sandy Johnson will have more access to the wide selection at Gene's.

These reasons and many others are why Gene's was mentioned by Philadelphia magazine as the best in Philly.

There was one discrepancy in the article, though, as Philadelphia magazine placed Gene's books in Wayne instead of King of Prussia.

Mandell thought· "the article stunk. The reporter didn't take enough time to get to know us. I am pleased with the award though and I think the article won't hurt us."

The staff at Gene's also felt that the article could have put Gene• s in a better light. However, they still feltthat the review was very good.

One of the most popular events in Gene's bookstore is the book signings.

Author Robert Groden is scheduled to make a appearance touting his new book, "High Treason," on Nov. 23.

by Lisa Lindley Sounds of music filled the air Friday night while young women, dressed in silk to sequins, danced with dappergentlemen.

Cabrini's annual Fall Fonnal at the Sheraton Valley Forge, which was sponsored by the junior class, was a night of friends and fun for the 440 ticket holders.

Black appeared to be ~e most popular color choice among Cabrini ladies this year.

One of Cabrini's resident assistants was overheard saying, ''It is amazing how grown up and sophisticated the girls look tonight. What a metamorphosis!"

The Cabrini men's styles seemed to only vary slightly. Most of the young men wore suits but displayed their individuality when choosing a tie and shoes.

With songs being played by QBM Productions and Security being provided by both the junior class and the Sheraton, the evening went off .without a hitch. Junior class president Matt Hodlofski also credits

Bud Mellon, Jennifer Marks-Gold, and the entire junior class board for the evening's success.

The theme of this year's Fall Formal was "In Your Eyes." This selection seemed to be the prevailing preference among Cabrini students. Senior Jeff Hines felt the music selections this year were much better than those of years past.

The Sheraton provided a beautiful array of hors' d'oeuvres and two bars. The drinks were slightly over priced according to some, but nothing more than what was expected.

Some of the students were a bit disgruntled when the bars closed at midnight.

Meeting and greeting people at the door were two members of the Liquor Control Board. They had been contacted by the Sheraton to ensure no under-age drinking occurred. For the most part their evening went smoothly. Numerous students felt that the presence of the LCB helped to avoid many of the problems that typically occur at functions such as the Fall Formal.

more HARASSMENT from 1 tor of Woodcrest resident hall, had a derogatory remark left on her message board Friday night, Nov. 9.

Tammy Causley, assistant director of resident life, has had a list of assaults since the beginning of October. In October she was blamed for putting up signs which expressed concern for for the condition of Xavier resident hall.

A derogatory note was left for Causley discussing their feelings about the signs. On Nov. I, Causley's resident director sign was scratched out and derogatory remarks and pictures were drawn on it with "We don't like you," and several sexually oriented insults scribbled on the bottom of the sign.

person or an isolated group.

"Resident life has the right idea," McNamee said. ''The problem is that the administrators have changed several times reaching drastic change-overs. I think they're dealing with the campus problems correctly."

Some students feel that resident life is dealing with a lot

"The resident life staff doesn't know how to relate to the students."

- Eric Burke, sophomore At 3:30 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 12, Edd McNamee, senior resident assistant, received a phone call. The caller said rude remarks and McNamee hung up on them. In the beginning of the fall semester, McNamee had his 1972 Volkswagon Karman Ghia car spit and vomited on. His scooter was also knocked over and kicked. ''This is definitely not my sense of fun,'' Causley said.

According to the staff none of them has ever seen this type of destruction in any of the other college experiences they have encountered.

"We're very different from the staff before," Caulfield said. ''When I first came here I was told that there was a concern with consistency. We're more consistent and strict. Students don't like it and are scared." ''This job has made me harder and has taught me to do what I have to do,'' Causley said.

"Where are their morals?" Hazelrigg said. "I feel that 90 percent of the students here are terrific, but in Xavier, the men and women have to learn how to control their alcohol and the men have to learn respect.''

"Tammy relates the most to us. We can go to her any time,'' Shane Ferguson, sophomore, said.

Other students feel differently. First-year student Eric Hope said that the resident life staff is very lax in enforcement, which is a major cause for the problems on

campus. ''The resident life staff doesn't know how to relate to the students," Eric Burke, sophomore, said. "They only deal with people by the book and not by the person," Kevin Gaherty, sophomore, said.

Sheri Bangle, sophomore, feels that some R.A. 's take problems too personally and that a friendship should be established between a resident and an R:A. Students see different problems as the cause to all of the negative attitude on campus.

"There is a certain group of students and administrators," McNamee said. "who are negative role models leading a very impressionable group of others.''

"Students are bored,'' John Quirus. first-year student, said. "Wayne's not exciting and Cabrini doesn't have something to do every night."

Nick Ostrowski, senior, said,' 'The school has to shed its grand facade and come into contact with reality. Until that happens Cabrini will live in the dark ages."

Students had a variety of solutions to the problems, the most apparent would be to have a 24-hour-security guard present in all of the residence halls. "I think we need a security guard in each hall to collect identification," Joe Cavaliere, junior, said. "Students do that now but they're not reliable enough."

Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students, is appalled that some students would vent their hostilities in such a manner toward Mcilroy. ''I am disappointed because we made progress in resident life since the start of the semester. Now we have experienced a set-back due to the recent occurrences of vandalism in Xavier," Bonfiglio said.

Bonfiglio said that the 24-hour-security idea is worthy of consideration. But the security and quality of living conditions are a function or consequence of the people in the building.

He said at this time the students will either take a positive or negative role in bettering the situation of their living conditions.

"Resident life is working their tails off to provide a quality resident hall environment," Bonfiglio said.

"Xavier has always been a problem. It's not a · pleasant place to come to work to on Mondays. Not when there is defecation on the walls and broken glass all over the place, as was the case th is past Monday."

- Michael Caranfa, chief physical plant officer fine does not mean that they will retain their residency privleges," Caulfield said.

"Students must realize that they are responsible for the actions of their guests, and that the resident life department will continue to enfor the code of conduct in regards to visitors," Caulfield said.

The broken window was just a part of the extensive damage which occured in the residence hall during this past weekend.

In a related incident, which also occurred early Saturday morning, security reported that during a routine patrol of campus, a Cabrini student approached a memberof campus security and reported that he witnessed two males kicking the front side fenderof a student's car, which was parked in front of Xavier Hall.

According to the security report, the witness observed the suspects drive off campus. The owner of the damaged vehicle proceeded to file a report with the Radnor Township Police Department, which contained a full and detailed description of the suspect's vehicle.

In response to the damage at Xavier, members of the senior staff and college president Sr. Eileen Currie, M.S.C., toured the residence hall on Monday.Nov.12th, in order to get a full assesement of the damages.

The recent acts of vandalism were the latest and most widespread in a series of destuctive acts within the residence hall this semester.

According to the resident life staff, in the past the acts of vandalism have been isolated to a particular area or quad of Xavier Hall. However, the damage this past weekend damage spread out to the breezeway area, where a hole was discovered in the wall in addition to damage to two heating covers within the breezeway ramp.

In addition to the destroyed window in quad 250, another window was found to be damaged in the 270 quad of Xavier.

Further damage to the residence hall included two broken fire extinguisher

Although the physical damage to the building presents a burden to the physical plant, a more growing concern by the college is the janitorial maintenance, which is continuously needed in Xavier Hall. ''Xavier has always been a problem,'' Caranfasaid. "It's not a pleasant place to come to work to on Mondays. Not when there is defecation on the walls and broken glass all over the place, as was the case this past monday."

•'It was gross,'' Caulfield said of the condition of Xavier Hall after this past weekend.

Caranfa also said a routine accumulation of trash and empty beer bottles in parts of the hallways, places an added burden on the housekeeping staff. Last year, Caranfa said that he had one member of his housekeeping staff quit because "they couldn't take working in Xavier anymore."

Those who toured Xavier on Monday realized that the entire population of the residence hall is not at fault for the recent wave of behavior. However, members of the senior staff wanted to make clear that the actions of a few people will not only

••As an institution, we should be concerned with maintaining an environment that promotes a quality of life we want to have here at Cabrini,'' Vice President for Institutional Advancement Anthony Brocchi Jr. said. "That's what our college code of conduct is supposed to represent."

In order to gain a betterunderstanding of the current situation a meeting was held on Wednesday, Nov.14th, in Xavier Hall between membersofthecollege administration, including Currie, and the residents of Xavier Hall.

Tammy Causley, assistant director of resident life, expressed her hopes for a changeinrecentbehavior at Xavierwhen she said, "Ireallydon'tknowwhy·it was so bad last weekend," Causley said.

SCHOLARSHIPSConcerned Educators Against Forced Unionism is offering a $1,000. scholarship to honor Michigan teacher who were fired because they refused to pay union dues.

The Applegate/I ackson/Parks Future Teacher Scholarship is awarded to a student in his or her junior year pursuing a degree in education. Applicants will be asked to submit an essay and a complete application by April 30, 1991.

The Pennslyvania Federation of Democratic Women,Inc. is offering 3 scholarships in the amount of $ I ,000 to any Pennsylvania woman student in her junior year who is interested in making a career in politics or government, economics, history or who is preparing to teach in these fields. Applicants must possess a Democratic family background or be an active participant in the activities of the Democratic Party. Deadline for Applications is April 15,1991.

Denise Edwards bent her leg back slightly, checking her footing. She stretched out her anns.

Barb Millaway put her one foot on Edward's leg, just behind her knee.

On the count of three, Millaway appeared standing on Edwards' shoulders. The motions were quick, effortless and barely noticeable.

Physical strength, coordination and a positive attitude are the things cheerleaders are made of.

"This is frustrating," Renee Corrado said while learnin~ the choreography to a song.

"This is a dedicated squad," Millaway, co-captain of the squad, said.

Tryouts were held the second week of Oct. For the past five weeks, the squad practices four days a week two hours at a time.

The first 15 to 20 minutes is spent working out.

"Not many people realize how much time and work we put into this,'' Tara Tarutis said.

At practice, the squad has fun, but there is a time to be serious.

Cheerleading can be a dangerous sport.

Pyramids are deadly if not everyone is paying attention. The squad is aware of stories about women from other schools who have been hurt and someone who

was killed while performing.

Everyone has to be in sync.

Every member of this squad is very important to practice. Each practice the squad learns new maneuvers and routines.

"You can't practice a mount when you don't have a base," Millaway said.

"It's vital that everyone comes to practice,'' Ed~ards, co-captain of the squad, said. "Otherwise during a game when the buzzer sounds for a time-out your nervous to be out there performing."

"We're not spirit-bunnies," Tarutissaid. "We'rethe only fans at the away games," especially to places like Virginia.

The squad's motto is: we support the school. In places like Virginia, the cheerleaders represent the school and its fans. They all feel the basketball players appreciate their efforts.

Athletic director John Dzik is also their moderator. "We're his girls,'' Edwards said.

"What we need we have," Millaway said. "He takes care of us."

Although Edwards and Millaway run practice, Dzik takes care of their budget.

"Lots of friends," is how Flavin describes how she feels about being a cheerleader.

Cheerleaders cheer for the Cavaliers in other ways. They put up posters and signs supporting

the players and try to promote the times when the team will be playing.

Dawn Weston is the only firstyear student on the squad. '' I met a lot ofnew people, especially upperclassmen."

The squad goes to basketball tournaments which sometimes last a weekend. The tournaments "bring us a lot closer," Millaway said. The squad members are all friends and often go places together.

The cheerleaders may start practicing at the beginning of Oct, but they neverstop. The must keep learning new things to keep their routines fresh and different.

This summer a camp was held for the cheerleaders. This helped bring new ideas.

First-year student cheerleaders bring new ideas from their high schools for routines, dances and cheers.

They also bring a different viewpoint on the performances the cheerleaders do.

"We cheer for them, for the fans," Mill away said. "It is for this reason that the cheerleaders learn new routines. It's important to keep the fans excited, happy and interested. If the fans get bored, the attendance at the games could decrease.''

The cheerleaders perform to support the team, the school, to bring the fans to the games and to keep them coming.

The National Federation of the Blind is offering a broad array of scholarships to recognize achievement by blind scholars. All applicants for these scholarships must be legally blind and pursuing a full-time past secondary course of study. The amount of the scholarships range from $6,000-$2,000.

''The reason we may never get back is that we play in a regi~n dominated by the politics of the MAC (Middle Atlantic Conference). The MAC gets two automatic bids.

Dzik likes what he seen so far this preseason. ''We are capable of playing with anybody in the area -- year in and year out. This year we have height, but we are young and especially among the big people," Dzik said. "Our guards are going to assume the leadership spots while our offense will go through some growing pains.''

"I guarantee we will be a better team by the NCBT (National Catholic Basketball Tournament) and a solid team by the ESACs (play-offs)," Dzik added.

But all is not rosy to Dzik.

"We didn't answer our recruiting needs at the point guard position, but we have a safety net in Caraffa for next year," Dzik said. "Except from O'Hare and Yurchak, I don't know where we will get our points." ''Our slowness will be a liability on defense, but we will play zone to utilize our size," Dzik said.

The men's basketball team, looking at times as if it would preferto be preparing for the Fall Formal, wandered through the annual inter-squad Blue and White Game on Friday, Nov. 9. Coach Rob Rowe's White team overcame an early defict to pummel Rick Costello's Blue squad, 91-56.

Sophomore center Dave Wissler, playing for the Blue team, put the first points on the board 30 seconds into the game with a turnaround jumper in the paint. It was nearly two minutes later before the White team answered with transfer forward Frank Sciolla 's two-pointer from the top of the key.

In a loosely-officiated first half, the Blue team went on a 12-2 run, until Costello called a time-out with 12:31 remaining to stop the bleeding.

Coming out of the huddle, the White team went on a I 6-4 tear, tying the score at 20 with 7: 16 left in the first half. Sciolla put his squad on top for the first time, 22-20, on two foul shots with 6:51 left.

From that poinron, it was all White in the scoring column. At halftime, the score stood at 38-30 in favor of Rowe ·s White team.

Matters did not imporve any for the Blue team in the second half, as they were able to score only eight field goals in the final 20 minutes. The White team, paced by sophomore guard Jon Owens' 19 points, put 53 second-half points on the board, to tum the game into a rout.

In addition to Owens' scoring, Sciolla also dropped in 18, while senior Jason Yurchak contributed 17forthe White squad.

Tradition says that you don't change a formula, especially a winning one. Men's basketball coach John Dzik felt that it was time for a change.

That change involved a different offensive scheme and philosophy from the one Dzik and his Cavaliers rode to over l 0 consecutive 20-win seasons. Not attaining that perch for two years, Dzik has implemented a new offensive game plan for the upcoming season.

The traditional Cavalier offense was set patterns and plays that featured the open outside shot. Forthis year, Dzik said, "It is more of a motion offense that is tailored to our own natural abilities (big men underneath). I felt that it was a time for change based on our personnel and it is what will let us win in the '90s."

The personnel Dzik spoke about is a relatively young, big and slow team. Unlike Cavalier teams of the past, this year's version possess little speed, less experience and a lack of a helmsman.

With the graduation of All-American candidate Marko Gittens, Cabrini is left with a void at the star position. ButDzik feels that void will be filled by a team approach and the overall skills of senior John O'Hare.

'•We are a better team in the true sense of theword," Dziksaid. "Wehavealwayshad one 'star player' here, and Marko was that player last year. But this year, O'Hare will take that role in a more team-like atmosphere.'' more PRESEASON on 11

Callinanand Cabrinifall shortat NCAA regionals

by Bob Healey As each falling rain drop slackened the course in Allentown, the Cavaliers watched its national invitation slip away.

The Cavaliers Men's Cross Country Team finished 23rd on Sat. Nov. 10, in the Mid-Atlantic Regionals at Allentown College, dubbed "Allentown swimming pool," by Head Coach Tom O'Hora.

Over three inches of rainflooded the course and according to some runners, because of poor drainage, the puddles were as high as their thighs.

"I don't want to make excuses,"

O'Hora said, "but odd things happened.'' John Osborn, who was sick early in the week, did not run.

Joel McGovern, the Cavs second runner and All-Regional-first-year student, did not run because of a sprained ankle.

Chris Callinan, ESAC champion, was pushed once and fell three other times. Callinan finished 26th, the top 25 qualify for the Nationals. He was extremely disappointed that he did not qualify.

Callinan said, "I was pushed once and really b~nged up my knee."

According to O'Hora, the day was not indicative of the season.

"It was pretty much a nightmare,"

he said. "It was our worst day ever."

The men's team finished 23rd and will not make the Nationals.

Paul Greenhalgh finished 113th and Callinan was in the lead when he was pushed by one of the 300 runners involved.

O'Hora was expecting both Callinan and McGovern to qualify for t,he Nationals judging from their ESAC. performance. Callinan finished first, ahead of Matt Adams of Frostburg State, who finished third. McGovern finished fifth in the ESACs seconds behind Adams.

Adams finished 11th on Saturday.

The women's team fared no better finishing 24th. Jackie Al-

brecht finished 112th and Suzanne Beck finished I 23rd. According to O' Hora, Albrecht ran one of her best races.

According to O'Hora, Cabrini's small enrollment has an adverse effect on the Cross Country program.

"We have no depth," O'Hora said. "Mere enrollment hurts us.

It is like playing basketball five on three."

O'Hora said that because Cabrini is such a small school, when injuries occur there are few reserves.

"Frostburg State is five times as big as us," he said "but we have beaten them."

Although the season ended on

a sour note, O'Hora is optimistic about next year.

The Cavs will lose no one to graduation and O'Hora is going to recruit harder. "Successful people gravitate towards successful programs,'' he said.

"It is tough to recruit because we do not have a.Jong history and tradition," O'Hora said.

O'Hora did not want to make excuses but' 'our wheels fell off," he said. He also said that the rain affected everyone, not just Cabrini runners. "It was like running on an ice rink." ''The rain did not effect me other than falling,'' Callinan said, "but the course was awful."
