Counsel to be closed as residence hall by Melissa von Siegel Assistant News Editor
As a residence hall, Counsel Hall is to be no more. According to Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students, Counsel will be closed as a residence hall effective at the conclusion of this academic year. This is the result of a decision recommended by the college's senior staff and finally decided upon by Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president. At a 10 p.m. hall meeting Tuesday night, Cathy Caulfield, director of resident life, relayed information to about 15 of the 20 female upperclass students who reside there, regarding Counsel's situation and what changes woul~ occur in the lottery process for room selections. "This puts you into a special category called displacement," Caulfield said. Caulfield went on to further ex plain that this category would enable them the opportunity to choose their rooms ahead of those participating in the regular lottery, yet behind those who were squatting or keeping their rooms. "It will be squatters first, displaced and then regular," Caulfield said. Caulfield said that those who are displaced will have a special box to choose from when selecting their lottery number. However, according to Caulfield, if a student had already picked a number (prior to the meeting), then that student
would "just need to pick a new one from a different box." For some, the announcement yielded reactions of surprise and disbelief which senior Sue Roux noticed. "Tonight when it was confirmed, a lot of people were like 'Oh my God, what are we going to do,"' Roux said. "I saw iton their faces." "I know people are angry and upset," Caulfield said to the women. "I'm sorry, guys." Yet the majority viewed the decision from a positive perspective. "It seems fair, I think, because we get to pick first (after squatters)," Junior Ellen Battersby, said. "If we weren't getting to choose first, I'd be upset." "I can understand why they did what they did," sophomore Susan DiMoia said. "This is the smallest dorm and there are plenty of other places on campus for people to live." Fellow sophomore and floormate, Cathy DeHartsaid, "It's not conducive to living," citing no fire escape, nearness of faculty offices, and "people in and out at all hoursof the day" as drawbacksto the hall. Roux said Counsel's location is better regarding accessibility to classrooms; however, Roux feels the decision is a good one, as it will help to bring about campus unity. "We're kind of segregated from the rest of the campus," Roux said. "This way, we'll be more unified."

College adds four trustees by Melissa von Siegel Assistant News Editor
Increasing its current membership from 22 to 26, the College's Board of Trustees confirmed the appointments of four new members at its meeting held on Dec. 10, 1990. According to Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president of the College and a member of the board, the fournew members are Sr. Regina Casey, MSC, Sr. Lucille Souza, MSC, Shirley Ann Dixon of Philadelphia, Pa. and James F.
Oakley, III, of Norristown, Pa. Casey, an educator and former president of the College from 1968 until 1972, is currently chief executive officer of the ColumbusCabrini Medical Center in Chicago, Ill. Casey also served as superior general of the International Institute of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart from 1972 through 1984. According to Currie, Casey brings with her "a vast experience of corporate knowledge and Missionary Sister knowledge." Although she has not been present on campus through the
years, Casey said she is aware of the ongoing development occurring at Cabrini. "It has grown to be a much stronger institution and has kept the atmosphere characterized at that time ( when Casey was president)," Casey said. Sr. Lucille Souza, MSC, a reading specialist and educator.is an alumna of Cabrini and like Casey, has been kept abreast of current happenings on campus. Souza currently serves as director of the Cabrini Mission

Proposed federal budget would _slashaid by Kimberly Marshall Assistant Perspectives Editor
If the Bush administration has its way, some Cabrini students may experience a onethird cut in their student aid packages for the 1992-93 school year. According to the Feb. 13 issue of the "Chronicle of Higher Education," the Bush administration has proposed major changes and cuts in Federal student aid funding. The changes would provide more money to the neediest students while removing as many as 600,000 middle-income persons from the Pell Grant program. New grants
will also be created for needy students with good grades, but aid may be denied to students who are in the bottom 10 percent of their college classes. Colleges will be required to pay a greater share of the costs of the College Work Study (CWS) and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) programs under Bush's proposal. The Education Department will also consolidate six fellowship programs for graduate students into a single program. The proposed fiscal 1992 budget for studentgrant programs would be $6.7-billion. This figure reflects no increase for inflation from the I 991 fiscal year figures. Elizabeth Cairns, assistant director of fi-
nancial aid, said that these changes and cuts will not be reflected in next year's financial aid packages but they underline what may happen in the following years. "These are all proposals," Cairns said. "It is hard to even imagine which of these proposals will actually tum into law. Usually we won't know things like this until Oct. of 1991. Then we will get a much better feel for 1992." Cairns said that the estimated amount of total government aid Cabrini receives in federal and state funds, including Stafford and student loans, is $2,261,500, in addition to Cabrini's contribution, which is approximately $450,000. Federal funds include Pell

How does Cabrini decide who classifies as neediest students? "Anyone out there who has applied knows that it is a long procedure," Cairns said. According to Cairns all the numbers submitted on the students' financial aid applications serve as different variables in a formula called Congressional Methodology (CM).

Sex talk: Make it honest Although many of us pretend to know all about sex, most of us have no idea what to do. We don't know how to talk about it, let alone do it right. Society uses its own smooth-talk when comes to sex. Everyone knows of someone who has lived through the pain of sex when it is used wrongly. We hear that one-out-of-every-four of our daughters, sisters, and friends has been raped or sexually abused. An American teen -becomespregnant every 30 seconds, and 80 percent of these pregnancies are unintentional. One in seven teenagers get an STD every year. Yet, we refuse to be honest with ourselves. Sex education in schools is resisted. Concerned parents want their children to learn about their sexuality based on home-spun values. But the majority of kids find out about sex on the streets. Some find out on street corners. The problem is, neither the adults nor the children know the right information. So they pretend to know or guess. Sexual pressures have been around since Adam and Eve. The kissing is the same. The sex is the same. The men and women are what is different. We work so hard to prove that men and women can do the same jobs, earn the same money, play the same sports. But we need to remember that they don't feel things the same way. They don't relate to sex in the same way. Most men are, by their nature, aggressive creatures. In our society, where men have been bred to achieve and conquer, they need to know the yellow caution light does not mean go faster. Some women do send mixed messages without realizing it. They need to be firm in clarifying misunderstandings based on the clothes that they wear or behavior. It's hard to accept that the overwhelming number of date rapes being reported by women are committed by sex-craved lunatics. Like many ~f. the victims, these men and boys may not even think that they have been involved in a rape. They believe faithfully in what they have been taught by their parents, peers, television, and mov~es. ''No'' means '·yes.'' Sex is a male privelege. A women in a tight skirt is asking for it. They believe this because no one along the way has stopped to tell them anything different. How can we tell the difference between rape and roma!'}ce?The only way we are going to find out is to start talking to each other about our expectations, wants, needs, and desires. Both men and women should read the ''Rape: What you need to know,'' pamphlet distribute by the counseling center. It must be clear that rape is not just a female issue. Time and thought and discussion are needed to understand any tricky situation. In sex, we need to make informed choices and we need to know not only what we are talking about, but who we are talking about. And our sexual intimacy need not be shattered. Because there is not a greater trust than which bonds friends and lovers.

Battling the bra sharlene sephton erspectives editor The battle of the bra began when I was in sixth grade. Since then the story has been immortalized by my mother and passed on to each of my successive boyfriends by my younger sister. I consider it my first self-sponsored feminist movement. It may have been that I was simply an irritable and volatile pre-adolescent demonstrating the appropriate level of demonic rebellion to torture my family. I was becoming a woman and I wasn't
March is Women's History Month. Look back and see the heroines that refused to let societal standards weaken their resolve or ambitions. sure I liked the idea. I was worried about not being able to play on the boy's soccer team, dish-panned hands, and the unfairness that women had to suffer through childbirth while men seem to go through life scar-free. In the meantime, my swelling chest was not waiting for me to solve my identitycrisis. And my mother thought it indecent for me to continue attending school without the size AA young teen' s beginner brassiere, or as some refer to it, the training bra. Well, I had training wheels on my bike for support, so I wouldn't fall over, but I did not understand what wearing a bra was actually training me for in life. For me, it was an itchy twisted thing that cut into my rib cage and you could see the bumpy lace underneath my favorite T-shirts. Even the names for its construction sound formidable if not painful: hook-and-eye closures, back straps, underwiring, and sidebones. Anyway, my first bra was definitely not from the Victoria's Secret satin collection, and I refused to wear it. My mother gave me an ultimatum. IfI would consent to wear the contraption, I could live in her household until I was independent, or if not, it would be understood as a declaration of war. I chose war. And throughout the battles I was waving the feminist flag. I had heard the rumor that brassieres had been created by a man with the name, Mr. Titzlinger. Since then I have searched through books of firsts to find the true origins, but without avail. I argued with my mother that it was no wonder wearing a bra was like self-inflicted torture, because they had been invented by a male who had no idea of what the female anatomy actually feels like. It was clear to me that their purpose was another of the countless ways that men have used to restrain and oppress the women of the world throughout history. Suddenly I felt a kinship with the braburners glorified from the sixties. Later I learned that the bra-burning rallies were actually isolated events that have been hyped
up as a symbol of the female movement. I learned more as I grew older. I realized that feminism is much more than angry acts of rebellion. Feminism is pride in being a woman and recognizing those of us who have done what we were once thought incapable of; those of us who strived and succeeded in a world that has not always appreciated our womanly ways. Feminism is a celebration of the differences between men and women and learning how to accept them. March is Women's History Month. Look back and see the heroines that refused to let societal standards weaken their resolve or ambitions. People like Elizabeth Blackwell, the first American female doctor; Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court bench; Sally Ride, the first American woman astronaut to be on a space shuttle mission; Melissa RathbunNealy, one of the first women who were under fire in the Gulf War. I found that little girls can look up to wbmen besides the bra-burners. There are women who are leaders of generations who aspire by hard work,determination, and their womanly wiles. Who triumphed over the Battle of the Bra? My mother black-mailed me by threatening to keep me home from school and send in a note with Doug Black, the boy we carpooled with. explaining the binding circumstances to our teacher. Well, my mother and I drew up a peace compromise. I ended up wearing a bra, but a stretch-one without the itchy padding, that spring of my sixth grade. In fact, I can now admit that I can bear wearing them, and sometimes actually enjoy the Victoria's Secret kind. But don't be surprised if you catch me in the newsroom slinking out of the undergarment from beneath my sweatshirt and shoving it in a dark comer of my desk.

As Pressoars,remember how he got hiswings In a continuing effort to better educate the public on the major players of the Persian Gulf War, I dedicate this week to give equal column space to the allied side. Now, who to profile? ·The choice is obvious -- George Bush. Thereaderatthis point might add that he or she is well aware of their President and there is no need of a Reader's Digest biography. I protest, however, for the public has only been given the authorized biography of George Bush. Here on the hallowed pages of the Loquitur; then, let us cast some light on the real George Bush. Before I start, however, a brief story. The other day I was laying in bed with a 101 degree fever when my phone rang. I discovered on the other end of the line a confused soul who was under the misunderstanding that my previous biography of Saddam Hussein was 100 percent accurate. Of course, I was stunned. In writing satire I normally try not to slam my reader on the head with a warning that the following piece is a joke. This caller who got me out of bed with a fever, however, could not ascertain from the fact that I gave Saddam's parents the names of Shemp and Bunny that this piece was a satire. This phone call proved to me once again that the world and its inhabitants are preposterous. So, to my favorite reader out there, take note. WARNING: The following article is a satire. The reader is advised that many of the following ditties are untruths written in the interest of causing the human response known as laughter. Anal retentive people should not read this column as it will confuse them and interrupt their normal thought processes. Read at your own risk! Well, thank God that's out of the way. Now on to George Bush: On June 11, 1924, Prescott Bush and his wife June Cleaver Bush welcomed their new addition, George Herbert Walker Bush. In the baby's newly decorated room, the Bushes had a 20xl4 foot portrait of Calvin Coolidge installed on the ceiling above the baby's crib. Young George grew up in the midst of the depres-
bill firman
sion and his family was hit hard. His father was forced to become a United States Senator when his business failed. Somehow, the family scraped by and young George soon grew into manhood -- but, finding it didn't fit, he joined the Navy. Bush became the Navy's youngest fighter pilot in 1942 and, while flying his first mission, was shot at by the enemy. Before his co-pilot could say, "Let's get outta here!" young George was safely ejected from the plane and on his way to a soft landing in the Pacific. Finding that war is hell, George entered Yale as an economics major and soon was initiated into the Skull and Bones Society -a sort of preppy frantemity where, instead of drinking all night and getting sick on the lawn, members would round up Jews, Blacks and Catholics and threw up on them. It was here that young George became imbued with his firm commitment to equality and civil rights for all. It was while at Skull and Bones thatBushgothis lifelongnickname, Poppy. This name was arrived at by the other members from the constant phone calls Bush would make to his father for money. Bush soon graduated from Yale and, like most college graduates, had no job. Unlike most other graduates, however, George hit Daddy up for a few million dollars and started his own oil development company, PEPTICO. In 1948, Bush traveled to the tiny nation of Kuwait with his members of his company to begin oil exploration. It was PEPTICO that first located oil in the Persian Gulf nation and he formed lifelong friendships with many of the Kuwaitis. Bush's best friend in Kuwait was the ruler, Sheik alSabbad al Moisha, roughly Bush's age.

and got to know Lyndon Johnson, John Connally, and soon earned a reputation for being a loyal Republican stalwart -- translation: he'll do anything. In 1970, encouraged by President Richard Nixon, who liked his backhand, Bush ran for the U.S. Senate against Lloyd Bentsen, another \:hild of the depression who was forced to rely on his family's wealth' to survive. Bush ran a hard campaign but was powerless because the electorate couldn't distinguish between th~ two candidates. This was especially true after an embarrassing press conference in which Bush was being pinned down as to what was his position on a particular issue and he blurted out, "I'm for whatever you are!" Bush lost. Feeling dejected, Bush was unemployed and destitute. He was forced to take the position of the United States Ambassador to

the United Nations. It was here that Bush shine~, in an organization which does nothing and has no power -- Bush's star rose. Bush jumped at the opportunity offered him by President Nixon in 1974-- unofficial emissary to China. Bush loved the prestige and benefits of the job -- namely, once a week Henry Kissinger would call him up and inform him about secret negotiations Kissinger and Nixon/Ford had hammered out without informing or involving Bush. While Watergate was bringing down his party, Bush was a loyalist who never wavered -- unless anyone asked him if he knew anything, to which he would reply, "I've never met President Nixon." Gerald Ford rewarded such loyal~ by making Bush head of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1976. Here Bush found his horizons expanded beyond mere politics and economics. It was while head of the CIA that Bush learned how to overthrow governments not friendly to the United States, a gift which would be of invaluable service to both he and his nation in years to come. By 1980, Bush had acquired a national reputation. Unfortunately, it was the kind of recognition afforded to old TV star who are recognized by fans of the series' re-runs but can't quite remember the name. Feeling a bit bored with traveling between Texas and Maine, Bush through his cardigan into the ring and ran for the Republican nomination as President. His campaign was defined when he called Ronald Reagan's plans, "V oo-doo economics." This made it clear to the American voting public that, while Reagan might not have any idea what was going on, at least he didn't use words like, "voo-doo" and "prudent." Bush soon dropped out of the running. , Feeling somewhat sorry for him, Reagan summoned Bush to his headquarters at the convention and offered him to VicePresidential nomination. Bush, realizing he could only go "up" in recognition factors even in the Vice-Presidency, accepted shortly before Reagan had put his teeth in a glass. This was the beginning of ~e beginning for George Herbert Walker Bush. Next time, we continue the saga with "Bush II: This Time It's Questionable." Stay tuned.
How to save the college money To the editor, Recently I read your February 15th edition concerning higher postage rates and Cabrini College's mailing costs. As a part-time night student and U.S. Postal Service employee, I feel compelled to respond. I think I can save the college some money. It is true that postage rates have risen. However, so has fuel costs, newspapers, taxes, and even college tuition. One must remember that although the cost ofa first class letter has gone up four cents, U.S. postage rates are still the lowest in the industrialized world. In addition, the Postal Service is promising business mailers, such as Cabrini College, reduced postage rates through worksharing programs. What are worksharing programs? Worksharing programs include prebarcoding, presorting, and drop shipping letters. This may sound confusing. What it boils down to is that the Postal Service is ~oving toward a computerized and automated mail service into the 21st century. The Postal service must do this in order to keep costs down and stay competitive with their rivals in the mail industry. If Mr. John Barclay, the chief financial officer, would contact the local Postmaster, I am sure he would be provided with a customer service representative who could explain postage reductions more thoroughly. Sincerely, Greg Cummings Havertown Post Office Edlor's note: lnformatfon provided by Greg Cummings hos been forwarded to John Barclay.

In the article, "College to cut '91 budget 10 percent," that ran in the Friday, March 1 issue of Loquitur, the following corrections should be understood: In the first paragraph, the recommendation attributed to senior staff should have been attributed to the board of trustees. Also, Midge Leahy's name is not Margerat. Dean of students Robert Bonfiglio, is quoted as saying, "The college is not going to downsize." Bonfiglio does believe that the college is, in fact, downsizing. In the following paragraph, the article reads that the memo was written with "hindsight." The line should be, "According to Bonfiglio, the memorandum was done with foresight to correct a probiem before it occurs."

COUNSEL CLOSES Caulfield cited lack of enrollment as the primary reason for the decision.
"The reality is, we have enough open spaces to close this building now and reassign new spaces," Caulfield said. · "If enrollment continues to be lower than we would like to be, o~r next step would be to de-triple Woodcrest Hall," Bonfiglio said. Other deciding factors added by Bonfiglio included Counsel's size and age, the reduction in utility costs involved in closing down a certain area, the number of seniors residing in Counsel as in comparison with the other residence halls. Also involved is the relative security of the building. "It's off the beaten path. We worry about
students walking back late at night," Bonfiglio said. In terms of how Counsel Hall will be utilized for next year, Bonfiglio said that according to the college's master building plan, that the space may be used for faculty offices. According to Caulfield, if something should happen regarding a change in Counsel's status and if the students express an interest, "then we can re-assign them back in here." "I hope it's closed permanently," Bonfiglio said. "For security and community-type reasons, it does make sense."

NEW TRUSTEES Corps, which is a program involving Christian men and women who volunteer their time and service to underprivileged members of the community. As a board member, some of Souza's goals include providing peer tutoring and helping students to be successful at Cabrini, and thus, successful in life. "I'd also like to see how we could involve or attract minority students," Souza said. Shirle'y Ann Dixon, a fifth grade teacher, is also a graduate of Cabrini through the College's continuing education division. "It's interesting to see how Cabrini functions on the inside," Dixon said. According to Currie, Dixon (no relation to Mrs. Edith Dixon, chairperson of the board), is the first person from the continuing education program who win •serve on the board. One of Dixon's goals is to make the continuing education students more involved at Cabrini. "The main thing is through tbe help of communication-there's a lack of that," Dixon said. James F. Oakley ,III, is owner of National Risk Management Inc. in Valley Forge, a company specializing in non-profit insurance. Oakley, who h~ been involved with busi-
ness for 20 years, felt it is time for him to give something back to the community and that the board's invitation would provide him with this opportunity. "Surely, as I participate m{the board and as timing is appropriate, hopefully I'll express them (goals) and do the politicking needed to make things happen," Oakley said'. In regard to Oakley and Dixon's participation on the board, Oakley replied, "Speaking for both of us, we both want to be very active," Oakley said. "If we can't do that, we'd rather not be a part of the board. But so far, every indication given to us is that we will be active," Oakley said. Currie said that there is no scheduled time of choosing new members as it is "an ongoing process of decision." "The board looks at itself and sees where it needs strength," Currie said, also including the factor of "the right timing." According to Currie, the Board of Trustees is the administrative head of the institution and establishe's certain College policies which the president of the College implements. Currie added that finding new sources of money is what is lagging in fundraising and that members of the board can assist with this aspect by "introducing new people to Cabrini College."

Goutman art exhibitcapturesthe inrler-self by DawnTimhado Assistant News Editor
The Holy Spirit Library will hosted an exhibit of the artist Dolya Goutman which began on Sunday, Feb. 24. The exhibit, entitled "Doyla Goutman - Selected Paintings Past and Present," will feature GoutmaQ.'Swork from 1943 to the present."I'm an expressi9nist not an impressionist,'' Goutman said. By this he means he likes to capture in his works the inner meaning of human beings. Goutman was born in the Caucasus in Russia and as a small boy escaped the country with his parents. They spent a few years in Latvia and Holland before journeying to the United States, where he eventually became a naturalized citizen. "I started drawing at age seven while in Holland," Goutman said. He came to the United States when he was 11 years old and continued
in his art. Goutman studied and received a bachelor of fine arts degree at the Art Institute of Chicago and his masters of fine arts at the University of Pennsylvania. From the Art Institute, he was awarded a Foreign Travel Fellowship which made it possible for Goutman to travelto Mexico, Guatemaia, and South Africa. On his way abroad he stopped in California to visit an uncle and also because the Institute wanted him to look at art displays in Hollywood. By fate he met Frank Capra of Warner Brothers who introduced and interested Goutman in film. He worked as a portrait artist in "The Moon and Sixpence" and composed all the murals for this as well as other motion pictures. Also among his screen credits, Goutman was a staff artist for "The Hollywood Canteen." While working as an art director in Hollywood, he painted portraits of Gary Copper, Ingrid Bergman, Paulette Goddard, Ginger Rogers,

It started out like any other night. A bunch of us were relaxing after work one night. We were drinking. I had too much to drink and myfriend drove my car home to his house. I was going to sleep in the basement and he made up the couch for me to sleep on and we watched TV for awhile. We had been friends for two years. I trusted him. I felt comfortable with him. Things started to happen and it was kind of nice. But then it was getting out of control. When I told him to stop, he just told me to relax. I kept telling him to stop. I was shocked. It was instantaneous. He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me down. He told me to "relax and enjoy." I didn't scream, I was just too shocked. I had been a virgin and he realized that. He went upstairs and
came down with a towel. TJien he went up to bed. Ninety percent of college wbmen who are raped know their assailants. This story above actually happened to Mary (not her real nanie ), a student here at Cabrini. And, whether Mary realized it or not at the time, she was a victim of rape. Victims of date rape have difficulty identifying what has happened as a rape. In the state of Pennsylvania, if a person engages in non-consensual intercourse due to physical force, coercion or threat, actual or implied, the act is considered rape. A person is unable to consent if he or she is mentally incapacitated, asleep, unconscious or physically helpless due to drug or alcohol consumption. If sexual intercourse takes place without. consent from both parties, it is rape. At the point that a person says "no," if sexual intercourse is forced it becomes rape.
The next morning he came down and woke me up. It was as if nothing had happened. I went to work--/ was still in shock. I still didn't believe it really happened. Then I felt the pain and I realized that it did happen. For the next couple of days, I went on as if nothing had happened. I tried to block it from my mind but I couldn't. A week later, I confronted him. I was angry. He told me to just leave it alone. I stayed at my job for one month, but I could not deal with being around him. So I quit. I loved that job, I had been there for four years. I avoided being around men, I could not talk with men in general, whether I knew them or not. I didn't go to school. I couldn't concentrate. I didn't go to work. My life seemed to stop. I kept wondering what I could have done differently. If only I hadn't froze, I could have stopped him.· IJonly I had called home for
a ride. If only/ had not trusted him. If I had only known. What Mary was experiencing is called rape trauma syndrome. A wide range of emotions such as anger, shock, fear, self-blame, shame, anxiety and cautiousness are common reactions in the acute phase, the first stage in rape trauma syndrome. This stage can ll>stfrom days to weeks to months and may overlap the symptoms of the longtenn process. The second stage, the long-term process, is characterized by changes in life style. The victim may be able to resume only a minimal level of functioning as the victim attempts to reorganize her life. The rape trauma syndrome was first outlined through the research of Ann Wolpert Burgess and Lynda Lytle Holmstrom from the book, Rape: Victims of Crisis.
Looking back, I can see the warning signals. He had a bad temper. He liked to control things.

Taking responsibility for your actions opinion b]5Kimberly Marshall Assistant ersepectives Editor
We constantly reflect upon bad events realizing the solution. Remember that hindsight is always 20/20. What if we had enough foresight to prevent something from taking place? How many times have we seen it coming? We had two weeks to study for the test yet we did not bother. We drove beyond the speed limit even when we had a crazy inclination tha~there was a cop sitting around the comer. And so it goes that we ended up with a D on the test and we had to scrounge up enough money to pay a· $76 speeding ticket too. Ten years from now these events will be a blur if anything. Would we still take these chances if there were more at stake? What if it were a risk that could stain our memories forever? What if it meant our own bodies being subjected to violation or intrusion? We are all guilty of putting ourselves in compromising positions. I am not only talking about walking by way of the darkest path late at night. I am·1alking about drinking so much that you cannot remember who you were "with" by the time the next morning rolls around. If some people normally acted
the way they behave when they are drunk, society would label them an idiot. Do our bodies become a "free feel" just because we are intoxicated? You might not remember how many kisses or innuendos you handed out. But you would remember if it were taken too far. If the game fell out of your hands and you were forced to do , something against your will. The humiliation would leave a bad taste ii'\ your mouth for the rest of your lifetime. If you couldn't remember who you were "with," how are you going to prove in a court of law that you were forced to do something against your will? Our campus takes advantage of the fact that we have no reputation for rape and are located in a relatively safe neighborhood. It is kind oflike the traffic light they did not install in the worstintersection until someone was killed. We feel that we are immune to it or simply prefer to ignore it. Rape is serious as an issue but sometimes as a word it is used in a joking context or not discussed. Why bother to deal with it now? Let's wait until it happens. We are by nature social beings so I am not condemning partying or getting buzzed and a little silly. I am against becoming so oblivious to what is going on around you that you cannot say stop when
someone has caught you in an uncompromising situation. Imagine the pain of someone entering where they are unwelcomed and taking whatever they pleased to satisfy their needs without permission. Which is worse, the feeling of helpless anger or looking back upon your own stupidity which led to something you did not deserve? Maybe just for once we, men and women included, should take heed to our foresight before some-
thing falls apart. Those of you who don't have the gift of looking ahead, just think next time before you take a chance. The only real solution to this sheer carelessness is education and awareness. Oh yes, and maybe next time your friend is blitzed you could keep an eye on them. Better yet, think before you take that next drink that will land you in the state of uncontrol where your destiny may not be what you planned.

Although you may want to ignore date rape, statistics show that you cannot afford ignorance. Date rape devestates both males and females. It is your responsibility to become informed. Learn what you can do to protect yourself. Because date rape can happen to you and, chances are, it has happened to someone you know. Protect yourself and learn how to prevent date rape. For Women: --Makeuse of the campus escort service by calling extension 8245 any time after dark. --Be direct and firm with someone who is pressuring you sexually. --Pay attention to what is going on around you. --When on dates: a. Let a date know from the start that you can handle yourself and share the decisions about where you are going and what you will be doing. b. Arrange a double date with a couple you know well if you are seeing the guy for the first time. c. Always let someone know where you are going, when you expect to return and who you are

If you are a victim of sexual assault, your first step should be to attend to your medical and psychological needs, then you need to decide whether to report the attack. Get immediate medical attention if you have been abused or raped. --Be examined for physical injury and disease. --Do not wash or change your clothes or apply any medication. --When calm, make notes of the incident. Psychological support is necessary for minimizing the long-term effects of sexual assault. "Try to protect yourself, hold on to evidence and try to pursue prosecuting the person, although this is a very difficult thing to do,'' Dr. Daniel Schwarz, director of the counseling center, said. According to the counseling center's pamphlet, "Rape: What You Should Know," it is strongly recommended that the victim seek psychological help and that the victim report any rape or attempted rape to prevent the attacker(s) from victimizing others in the future. Many rapists have raped before and will rape again until stopped. Mo~t rapists commit their first offense by age 16, according to a 1988 Ebony article. If you

Damage bill drops, still costs students $2,173 by Lo"aine Marie Lill Assistant Features Editor
Approximately $2,173 in damages have been calculated in a damage report for the months of January and February. Last year from Jan. 26 to Feb. 16 the total cost of damage was at $3,489. However, the type of damage being done and the value of the items are totally different this year. This semester most of the damage that has been done has occurred in houses six and seven and in Xavier. When Catherine Caulfield, director of resident life was asked where the damage
'This is a low figure right now. A lot of this is not vandalism.' - Michael Caranfa, chief physical plant officer stands as compared to last semester in Xavier Hall she said, "I know it's down. We just had one really bad month last semester. November was just a very expensive month, because up until then, damage had been down from last year." According to Caulfield there has not been a problem in the houses with damage. Caulfield also said that for the most . part the whole campus has been very good when in comes to damage. "I think it's important that people know things are a lot better," Caulfield said. "It's so easy for people to hear the negative and not hear the positive." Michael Caranfa, chief officerof physical plant, said that when looking at the cost of the damages, one has to see if there are more occurrences or if the item that has been damaged is just more expensive. "I would be more concerned if there were more acts of vandalism," Caranfa said. "This is a low figure right now. A lot -of this is not vandalism." When physical plant removes furniture from hall ways or removes or replaces screens in windows there is a $15 fee for labor. A frequent question asked by students is how the college comes up with the
amount that is charged for the damage and to whom the cost is billed. Caulfield said, "Every month they (physical plant) send us a list of the damages and then we go through it. We try to figure out what is normal wear and tear and what is damage. From that we figure out who needs to be assessed what." Most of the damage that occurs on campus happens in the male resident halls. "Guys by nature are more rowdy," Tim Janusz, house six resident, said. "If they trace the damage back from 10 years ago at this school, it's always going to be the guys' buildings. I think they should be thankful it's just the guys' buildings and not the guys' and the girls' buildings." "You get accidents of things that happen and then you get stupid people who do stupid things," Janusz said. "Boys will be boys," Brad Milla way, house six resident assistant, said. "We either fix things ourselves or we pay for it." Some student feel they should be given the chance to fix the damage they make first, before it is fixed by physical plant. "I think they (physical plant) should have some kind of a system where they say 'look, this is what's broken, if you don't fix it to our standards, then we're going to come in and fix it,"' Janusz said.
'Boys will be boys.' - Brad Millaway, house six resident assistant Many students agree that certain damage which occurs that should be minor, turns out to be major, because previous damage was not fixed properly. Before the beginning of each school year there is a report prepared which states the condition of each building before the students move in. Physical plant goes through each resident hall twice a week. If there is damage to something that was not damaged in the beginning of the year, physical plant reports it to resident life and they determine what type of damage it is. If students want to fi_xdamage that they made, they can talk to resident life and from there something can be arranged with physical plant.

TOTAL:
COST
$2,173
AID CUTS This is a formula set by the Congress of the United States. The CM computes the student's expected family contribution. This Federal formula applies acr6ss the nation. The outcome is subtracted from the amount of costs students come across going to school composed of tuition fees, room and board, transportation costs, books and personal costs. Cairns said that this does not include or will never include the cost of a car or car insurance. "That is one factor that some students just can not understand," Cairns said. The cost of education minus the expected family contribution equals the need. At Cabrini and most institutions, students are then awarded Pell and state grants if eligible. Students are also required to apply for a student loan to receive most other aid. If a student still has need after these three programs then the college attempts to help fund the need, Cairns said. SEOG, Perkins loans, work study and college grant aid programs are among the programs which the college administers to help students out. Cairns believes that one proposal that probably has a pretty good chance of passing is the raising of maximums of Stafford Student Loans. Presently first-year students and sophomores are eligible 'tor $2200 and $2600 per year and juniors and seniors for $4000 per year. Bush is proposing $3500 and $5000 accordingly as the new figures. The maximum Pell grant, now $2400, would be increased
to $3700 but many students now eligible will be knocked out. The Pell will only be available to the very neediest of students. "Historically Pell has jumped $100 or $200 maximum per year but this is ajumpfrom$2400 to$3700,"Cairns said. According to Cairns this is the very beginning of the avalanche. Bush is also proposing a new grant for needy students in the top 20 percent of their class. His proposal will deny aid to students in the bottom I0percentoftheirclass. "I this is going to run up against (the legal) wall of discrimination," Cairns said. "Bush basically has some good ideas behind this in that good students should be rewarded." Bush also proposes to slash SEOG funds by 33 percent and CWS by 30 percent. At present schools are required to contribute 20 percent to work study program and 15 percent to SEOG. Bush wants those figures to match 50-50. "Funds won't necessarily be reduced but in order for Cabrini to even get those funds we would have to match them," Cairns said. "If all of our contributions have to increase so greatly to those funds, it is going to perhaps reduce what Cabrini money is contributed to financial aid," Cairns said. Bush is also proposing to do away with Perkins loans. This is a revolving loan fund where students repay money to the school. At present the government does subsidize that program with a $10,000 a year contribution. Thus whatever
the college receives back from graduates can be loaned out. The Perkins loan won't end, but there will be no more annual federal contribution Cairns said. Cairns said that it is hard to say how many students do not attend Cabrini because of financial aid. Cairns attributes the problem with lower enrollment to the diminishing population of high school seniors for the next few years. Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, said that any cuts on financial aid would definitely have an impact on enrollment. A large percentage of students do receive financial aid, Gardner said. "I am particularly concerned because I think a lot of minority Students or lower income students are locked out of the opportunity getting higher education and that keeps getting worse and worse," Gardner said. "Perhaps a bigger group that would be hit is the middle class. They have already started to see that erosion." Christine Rakowski, secretary in financial aid; said that 164 students on Cabrini's campus participate in work-study and 150 in the work-grant program. Many of these students could not be here at Cabrini if thd, did not receive aid. Sophomore Paul Puskar said that work grant is one form of financial aid he receives. "It is less loans that I have to pay back," Puskar said. "I won't vote for Bush again if he cuts financial aid programs."

Athlete of the week
Eschbach: two sports, one season by Matt Hodlofski
staff writer Trivia Question. Name the only athlete on this campus that plays two sports in the same season? No, not Kathy Murray. Last time I checked basketball and softball were in different seasons. No, not "Pickle" Conner, for the same reason with soccer and basketball. On this type of campus many athletes are involved in two different sports but not in the same season. Leo Eschbach is the answer. Eschbach plays volleyball and iennis as a Cavalier in the spring and he is the athlete of the week. Eschbach has been the number one playeron the tennis team since his freshmen year and has been a member of the volleyball team just as long. "I take ienni~le more serious because it is a legitimate program here, but I would never stop playing voll~yball, "Eschbach said. The next year the team was stiJl
good only losing two games but last year and this year have really been rebuilding years. "Goody (Mrs. Goodwin, Gym teacher) saw me play in gym my freshmen year and suggested to Jan Torrez, a §tudent co-captain, to have me go out for the team," Eschbach said.

We need to focus earlier than last year, get in synch as a team quicker," Hoffman said. Becky Tressel, infielder, thinks it is still too early to tell how the Cavs will do this year,believing the players are really just beginning to get to know each other. "Last season's record may not
Eschbach's only other experi~nce with organized volleyball in the past was playing USVBA (United States Volleyball Association) during his first semester his sophomore year and plans to play in a Phoenixville league this year. ''I really enjoy playing volleyball and I think I am in pretty good shape, so I don't have a hard time (playing two sports)," Eschbach said. "He will be missed next year because of his ability to hit, block and set," Tucci said. "He rises to the occasion when the game is on the line." Eschbach' s play is very unusual for the fact that not many ':olleyball players do more than one thing well, he handles all three aspects of the game well. "I think we should have a lot of enthusiasm after the break," Eschbach said. The team has a busy weekend coming up with a match against Lehigh on Friday, March 15 and two matches against Northeastern and the University of Delaware on Saturday, March 16.

HEALEY Campus Disease If you notice something different about people on campus and your not sure what it is, Dr. Healey knows the cause. It is a collective madness, March Madness. It is a sickness thatlasts until April I when the college basketball season culminates with the crowning of a new king for a year. It is two weeks when Davids like the University of Wisconsin Green Bay Fighting Phoenix and the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers attempt to Slay the Goliaths of the league. But have you ever seen a Goliath with the might of U.N.L.V.? Karma says UNLV will falter. If "poetic justice" exist in this world then U.N.L.V. will not win the tournament. First of all they should not even be there. The NCAA rules committee allowed a one year deferment on U.N.L.V's suspension so they can defend its title. Actually the committee did it because they knew U.N.L.V. would be a lucrative draw. Kansas was prevented from defending its title a few years back because of probation. So why the double Stanard? How can the rule committee be upset when a 19-year old kid takes money from boosters (I'm not saying it is acceptable) when the committee, themselves, are a greedy, hypocritical collection of ''enforcers.'' It reminds me of a commercial where a fatherapproaches his son wondering where he learned to do drugs. The son's reply is "I learned it from you." If there is any semblance of justice in this world look for the Runnin' Rebels to fall early. Often when you go out on a limb the branch breaks, but I am going to anyway. Georgetown 78 U.N.L.V. 74. Trivia Answer Kirby Puckett was the initial player to be awarded a $3 million contract. And he has not once gripped about being the number 40 player on Major League Baseball's payroll. Healeyism of the Week Money, in itself, is not bad. Often it is the people who have and control it that are bad. So with the aforementioned material fresh in my mind, here is the Healeyism of the week. "Money is your crutch but on values alone~ will you stand."

Bobby's Balderdash The men's basketball team finished its season by placing second in the ESAC tournament. I was able to atte~d the tourney and since poetry transcends sporting boundaries, with much respect to Ernest L. Thayer (Casey at the Bat), here is a rhaspody recapitulatung what I witnessed.
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Cabrini Cavs that day. For the ESAC title they needed three victories along the way. But when they defeated Frotsburg and to Shenandoah did the same An anxious feeling of victory filled the players in the game. 1"'
For they knew if they beat Salisbury they would have the ESAC crown And could return to Cabrini with a smile and a proud frown. But the Gulls boast David Byer and Andre Forman the scorer The former was a spark and the latter was the scorner.
However their combined 50 points were to no avail Yet despite losing, the Cavs did not fail. A team befuddled by injuries and the suspensions of three players Had bonded together and to Frotsburg and Shenandoah were a slayer.
The Cavs held close early and even lead by three But Foreman, the MVP, soon became filled with glee.
But Salisbury was too good and Cabrini was too tired The Cavs got caught up in their game and they were mired.
He shot 15 for 25 and scored forty on the night And the tired Cavs fell victim to his might.
So the Cavs missed the title and finished second best Yet behind them Finished Shenandoah, Allentown and the rest.
The Cavs played uptempo and quickly ran out of gas After the 11 minute mark the Salisbury score they could not surpass. Dzik was dfssappomted, although not upset For winning it all was far from a sure-fire bet. Many counted the Cavs out and didn't expect them to be there But they forgot about Hines, Barnes, Yurchak and O'Hare. The senior quartet rose up, to finish what they had started They were determined not to let the team be easily discarded.
On our 110 rolling acres the sun is shining bright Sacred Heart Gym echoes with memories and all hearts are light. Somewhere the players are laughing while the Shenanigans committee plans a scheme And all of the students are proud to say the Cavs are our team.

and will culminate in October with the '' mother of all games," the World Series. Baseball, does indeed, mirror life and birth. In the off- season, baseball is fertile and with trades, drafts and free-agent signings the seed is planted. For the first few weeks baseball is in the zygotic stage. It is the initial development of the season and like the early stages of pregnancy a lot of questions are raised while few are answered. The middle of the season is the embrionic stage. The season~veloping and maturing, as does pregnancy. Despite the fact that more questions are being raised, many more are beginning to be answered. The final stage of the season, as in pregnancy, is the fetal stage. This is when most questions are answered and expectations are met. Now it is just a matter of time. In October the League Championship Series' are played. This is the labor period. It is excruciatingly painful, yet plaesantly bearable, because-of what is te come. And of course, the World Series is the birth. The World Series is the second most beautiful occurence in life, with birth being numeral uno. The innocence of a newborn baby is mirrored in the World Series. The olfactory scent of fresh-trimmed grass and pulp from the bats is as pure as an infant's maiden tear. When the World Series concludes the cycle is complete and ready to start anew. As does the infant who has grown and is ready to either fertilize or be fertilized, baseball to has grown and is set for another offseason fertilization.

Softballteamprepares to swingintoseason by John Gay
staff writer
Spring is in the air. The evidence is everywhere. The temperatures are growing milder, the migratory birds are returning, and lastly, Cabrini's women's softball team has begun to practice for it's upcoming season which commences March 19 against Eastern. . Spring is a magical time for a baseball team. It is a time when past mistakes are forgotten, and hope for the upcoming season abounds. It is a time of days full of endless sunlight, with the smell of freshly mowed grass and the sound of the cracking of a bathittinga ball filling the air. Cabrini's softball team is not immune to the above-mentioned powers of spring. And though they have been practicing in temperatures hovering in the 30s, on a field with an infield more suited to gophers than grounders, they are hopeful that they can improve on last year's 5-16 record. Dave Tajirian, head coach, won't make any predictions about the upcoming season, but does expect to win more games this year. "I like the attitude of this team a lot better than last year. The girls really seem to want to play," Tajirian said. Tajirian believes the combination of a few of his players just
"going through the motions" and his late start (Tajirian did not begin to coach the team until after spring break last year) contributed to the teams poor showing last year. Michelle Ballinghoff, senior cocaptain, believes the team has great potential. Ballinghoff feels Cabrini will field the best team in her four
'This is the first time in four years we've had to make cuts, which is great, because it means we will have quality people on the bench.' - Michelle Ballinghoff years of play this year. "This ,is the first time in four years we've had to make cuts, which is great, because it means we will have quality people on the bench," Ballinghoff said, noting that in previous years the club had to carry players who were not capable, solely because they had a shortage of players. Tajirian believes that in order to win the team must have solid pitching and timely hitting. ''The fielding will take care of itself,"
Healey: 'from the hip' bob healey assistant sports editor Trivia Ricky Henderson recently claimed that his $12 million contract leaves him, "grossly underpaid.'' Henderson makes enough in one game to cover my tuition, room, board, fees, a year of truck payments and still have enough left over to hit the tavern every night. In November of 1989, Henderson became the second player to be paid $3 million a year. Currently 40 players receive at least $3 million a year. Who was the initial player to be awarded a three-million a year contract? Answer later. Seniors Boxing? We have seniors' golf and a now defunct seniors' baseball league, how far in the future is seniors' boxing? Following in the footsteps of George Foreman, Larry Holmes, 41, yes, 41, has announced he will fight Tim Anderson (who) on April 7. Holmes said the ultimate scenario would be Foreman defeating
Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson then a title fight between the two archaic Greybeards would occur. If this were to be a premonition it would be the greatest comeback in the history of man, well other than Lazarus. Holmes, wanting to regain the title that he once held. gave alternative motives for the comeback. "Every three months, I used to bring home a million and a half. I'm not getting that now. I get $700,000 a year from rental properties. I've had to make adjustments. My life style is not that great. I don't eat steak every night.·' Well Larry, I do not eat steak every night either. But I'm content. There is more to life than money and is it worth risking your life because $700,000 is "not comfortable?" Holmes, you were thoroughly demolished by Mike Tyson in your last fight and do you actually think your a better fighter now? You are a grandfather! You are fat, out of shape and slow. You are asking for a death wish. What good is a six-figure car if your brain can not function enough to drive it? What good is a mansion if your secluded to a bed because you are paralyzed? Larry, back in the day you were a champion fighter. Operative word in the afore
Tajirian said. Tajirian and Ballinghoff both agree the infield is the team's strong point. The Cavs are blessed with many multi-position infielders. "At this point it's a matter of who to put where,'' Ballinghoff said. Tajirian cited infielders Charlyne Adams and Chris Meyers as players to watch in the infield, along with senior co-captain Kristy Villotti. The Cavs will retain the same pitching staff as last year. Tajirian emphasizes that the pitching must be solid for the Cavs to win. "Not with speed or velocity, but control," Tajirian said. Tajirian cited Jen Bannar as his most "clutch" pitcher and Maureen McGlone as his overall best pitcher. ··She pitched all my best games last year," Tajirian said. According to Tajirian, the teams big question mark is it's outfield. Apart from Ballinghoff in centerfield, the outfield is weak, especially in terms of speed and arm strength. Villotti feels the Cavs must improve on their hitting to be com peti ti ve. Bal 1i nghoff agrees,"what lacked last year was our offense." Tajirian looks to Ballinghoff and Villotti to continue to provide the offensive thrust see SOFTBALL, page 10
mentioned sentence is "were." All you are doing now is risking death or permanent injury. There is more to life than money and do not let money force you to risk your life.
Rest In Peace? ''May the soul of Hank Gathers, and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace, amen." How many times has Father Dave Hagan said those words? Even a year after his tragic death, it is becoming abundantly clear that only, through the mercy of God, will Hank ever rest in peace.
We have seniors' golf and a now defunct seniors' baseball league, how far in the future is seniors' boxing? As Shelley Smith of Sports Illustrated wrote, "Suddenly, the people closest to Gathers in life were, in his death, fighting over money that wasn't there." The Gathers story is well documented, from the reduction in medicine, to the $32.5 million lawsuit that was filed before he was even buried, to the accusations of payments while he was at Loyola Marymount University. There comes a time when human compassion must overcome greed. If Bo Kimble, who in my opinion benefited the most

from the death by becoming a national folk hero, and Gathers were so close, how come he has not helped the Lucielle Gathers move from North Philadelphia? And how come they do not even talk anymore? Why wasn't Lucielle complaining when Gathers received payments, according to her depositions, that paid for a $1,050 a month apartment, a car and over $50,000 during his four-year tenure at Loyola. It comes down to greed. It was not beneficial for Lucielle to reveal this information while Hank was alive. But, since he died, she realizes that such derogatory statements about LMU might help her case. Maybe she does not realize that her son is dead and even $32.5 million will not bring him back. The longer this fiasco rides on the more tainted America's image of the Gathers family become. The family had the pity and the love of people who did not the difference between a basketball and basket weaving. They tried to parlay it into 32.5 million. But · the pit boss just tugged at his sleeve and their luck is about to run out. I am just glad Hank is not alive to see how his "loved ones" are handling his death and estate that never existed. Sure, you are allowed to sue for future earnings, but look at the facts. "If it weren't for Paul Wesrhead, Hank Gath~rs would be alive today,'' Bruce '' Ambulance Chaser" Fagel, the family lawyer, said.
His premise is that if Westhead had not reduced Gathers medication, as Fagel alleges, that Gathers would still be alive today. Well Bruce, if the medication was not reduced then Gathers would not be playing basketball and he would not be making millions of dollars. I have one cry of reason amidst an echo of confusion, please let America remember Gathers as he lived, not by the aristocracy that followed his death. see HEALEY, page 11
