Crash coursein drunkdriving

by Kimberly M. Haban editor-in-chief The police cars raced down Residential Boulevard. The ambulances and firetrucks followed with lights flashing and sirens blaring.

Sophomore Bob Macartney awoke and thought something serious had happened to someone on

tract him from the car.

Latvenas said the scariest part of the scene was having handcuffs on.

"The thought of me being under

arrestforD.U.I.and hurtingafriend was scary for me," Latvenas said.

Patti said he was not nervous or scared at all. "All those guys were.

campus.

Radnor police officer Martha .

Gurney arrived at the scene frrst to . find Junior Jeff Patti and Senior John Latvenas in a car accident caused by drunken driving.

Students gathering around the parking lot, stared at the scene in ..:~ front of them and asked "What is going on here?"

What happened was the result of Medical Assistant Tom Foran' s efforts to increase campus awareness of drunken driving and its consequences.

Although· it was a simulated event, Latvenas was given the sobriety test, handcuffed and treated like a true drunken driver.

Patti was left in the vehicle as Radnor firefighters and rescue workers worked for a full 15 minutes using the Jaws of Life to ex-

nessed the scene. Petrane said "I saw how long it takes them to get you out of there, you don't have a good chance."

"Eerie," was how Pam Weekes, senior, described the simulated accident. Weekes said "I've never seen the Jaws of Life before, it made you think that it was real. It was freakie."

According to George Fielden, assistant fire chief, there are approximately 20 drunken-driving accidents every year in Radnor township that require rescue services.

Fielden said one of the worst accidents he had to attend to was when one person was killed and the other had his legs cut off. One leg .was severed at the ankle and the other was cut off at the knee.

Foran, senior, is also a volunteer fireman anctrescue worker along with being an MA. Foran said the MAs and the resident assistants sat together and planned events for alcohol awareness week.

Foran said "They were saying

1982: An actor was in the White House.

War waged in the Falkland Islands. The Equal Rights Amendment was not passed.

And Cabrini College began its graduate division, offering a master's degree in education to students.

The program was the result of two year's worth of work by then Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Joseph Romano, Dr. Ann Kennedy, Dr. Ruth Sower. Work began in the fall of 1980.

• Romano, now a professor of philosophy, said that beginning a graduate division at Cabrini had been talked about for many years. According to Romano, those involved believed that the school's charter prevented having a graduate division.

Romano said that when he and Sower traveled to Harrisburg to have the charter changed they found that the assumption was false.

Sower, now division head for education and the graduate division at Holy Family College, was the frrst director Cabrini's graduate division. Sower said," Adding the

first graduate division in a school is no small measure."

According to Romano, approval for any graduate program must be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of Education~ Romano said that the initial proposal was a 154 page document, three-fourths of an inch thick, which included everything from an overview of the proposed program to why Cabrini should have a graduate division.

Romano said that when the graduate division was approved in the fall of 1982 it was a time of intense pride on campus.

Sower said that the early years of the program were optimistic and euphoric. According to Sower, she knew that the graduate division would do well and that the everexpanding program was difficult to keep up with. "Space was always a critical issue when it came to night classes," Sower said.

Sower said that this was a welcome problem.

Colleen Malone-Wellstein, a 1984 graduate of the graduate division, said, "It was a learning experience for the college and for me."

Why is it that we feel that we cannot place trust in one another? What makes it so difficultto open ourselvesup and believe that the person we are speaking to is being honest. . Wemayneedtolooktoourselvesfortheexplanation. Ourmistrustofourneighbor may stem from self-doubtsconcerningour personaltrustworthiness.

Perhapsthe problemrests in the factthateach one of us fearstakinga risk. Trusting someone includes becoming vulnerableto that particularperson. Do we fear being vulnerableto one another?

The detrimentsofmistrustaremanifestingin thispresidentialelection. Votershave expressedmistrustfor every candidate. How can we elect a person that we don't trust personallyor politically.

Although it might be difficult,we must take a risk and put our trust in a candidate.

We must not ignore our responsibility. If there is no candidatethat you totally trust, then pick the most trustworthyof the lot.

In the future, we need to work on our own trustworthinessand become examples for one another. It all starts with the individual.

Seilers needs to find a new parking spot for that van. It's positioning direcfly on the comer is very dangerous. It's an accident waiting to happen!

CEC (CouncilforExceptionalChildren)shouldbe recognizedfor their hard workand dedication. They meet everyMonday nighttotallyon their own accord. Now that's the Mother Cabrini spirit manifested.

Resident denied clean slate To the editor: Recently, it has come to my attention that a particular Resident Director has taken a rather unprofessional approach to her responsibilities. While blantantly accusing a resident of disobeying the rules of quiet hours, she was corrected by another resident who admitted causing the distutbance. Upon correction, she boisterously maintained that the first individual was the culprit. Thus, she neglected to apologize for her insubstantial accusations.

Young adults mature significantly during their four years of college, especially between their freshman and sophomore years.

Unfortunately some authority figures cannot accept this fact. Instead, they prefer to label

individuals during their first few encounters with them, and permanently attach that label to the individual.

I thought that college was not only a time to learn, but also a time to change and prepare for the "real world." However, if an individual is premature Iy labeled, and never given the chance to prove themselves, how can he/ she grow?

Students do no need the unfair treatment and added pressure of a biased "role model."

College is difficult enough, without this type of unnecessary exploitation.

Sincerely, A Disappointed Student (Author's name withheld by the editor.)

The wind was blowing at a rate of 15 mph that day. The ice was frozen an inch thick on the sidewalks. Cars were sliding into each other as they drove 2 mph on their way to Sunday services. Ice sickles hung from every powerline, drain pipe and street light.

I had to open the diner at 7 a.m that morning. I brewed the coffee immediately hoping to take some of the chill away. The smell filled the dinning room alerting the cook it was time to deal with his Sunday morning hangover.

I checked the rat trap for a victim. Crushed between the forceps was the biggest black rat I've ever seen. Although he did have a cute pink nose. I got my tools together and threw him in the dumpster hoping I wouldn't run into any of his brothers during the day. I was tired of balancing myselfbetween two counters when they decided to run around my legs as I washed dishes.

My first two customers came in around 7:30 a.m. They were in attendance at 6 a.m. mass at St. Johns. The man's name was Chuck. He was a rather round man who usually drank coffee and made fun of the fat lady who came in the diner to gossip. She had a growth under her right eye so he would attach his empty creamer container under his right lens to his eye glasses and hold a conversation with her. I don't think she ever caught on to what he was doing.

The second customer was a lady from the Salvation Army. She ordered pancakes and sausage for breakfast and sneezed on my hand as I placed a cup of coffee in front of her. She said, "Excuse me," and I said, "that's okay," even though I was swearing at her from under my breath.

As I was walking back to the kitchen I noticed a red face looking through the glass door. He pressed his nose against the window steaming it up as he took a breath. I went to the door and squatted down to his level. He probably stood about 4 feet tall.

I asked him if he wanted to come in. He shook his head as he opened the door at the same time. "What's your name," I said. He did not reply.

I sat him up at the counter. I gave him a glass of water. I wanted to feed him, but I was afraid I might insult him. He looked like a proud little guy. He sat tall in his seat. However, the dirt on his face and his torn clothing told me he did not come from Sunday morning mass. His knotted hair appeared as though he slept in a very uncomfortable place.

I asked him to come into the stock rooin with me and help me carry some cans of spaghetti sauce to the kitchen. He did. He wouldn'tletmecarry anything. He was a little gentleman.

I gave him a cup of hot chocolate and was preparing a nice breakfast for him when the lady from the Salvation Anny called me over to her table. When I approached her I could see tears swelling in her eyes. She handed me $5 and told me to feed the boy. I wanted to tell her that I was about to do that, but she looked heart broken. l allowed her to help him. I had the cook prepare a warm meal. The boy ate well that day. He drank three cups of hot '! ~. "I' )

chocolate. Then he left. I never saw him again. I never forgot him either.

In May of this year I stopped by the grocery store to pick up a pack of cigarettes for my mom. I was backing out of my space when a boy about I I-years-old knocked on my window. I rolled it down.

"Which way are you going?"

"Up the West End. Why? Do you need a ride?"

"No, I have fifty cents." That's not enough to catch the bus so I gave him another fifty cents and started to leave again. Then I stopped.

"Hey kid, get in." -He got in the car. I found out he was going to Kemville. That is a bad section of town. He said his name was Billy and he was in the sixth grade. He missed his bus because he got detention for running in the hall. The school gave an I I-year-old boy dentention. He lives on the other side of town.

He had no transportation home. He gets free lunch so the only money he had was the fifty cents his granfilftft"gave him for an ice cream sandwich.

His face was dirty. His clothes were tom.

His hair was knotted. I drove him to his house.

It was a worn down building that should have been condemned. He thanked me and got out of the c_ar. He didn't give me my fifty cents back. I didn't ask for it either. He disappeared into the building. I haven't seen him since.

Billy made me think of the little boy from the diner. Could they be one in the same? Our children will be running this country when we are old, yet we treat them badly. We allow them to starve and go to school in dirty clothing. We give them detention not caring how they will get home or if they do.

Billy touched my heart. The little boy from the diner changed my life. Lets hope the children don't treat us the same way we treated them.

Studentstrugglesto decide 1·opinion

by Maryjane Inman

Paying a price for freedom

perspectives and managing editor The final debate. Who's watching and why? Brian Bell, sophomore, is an English/Communications major. He said he has never before been concerned about politics.

Bell said that he has not done any deep probing about the candidates. The upcoming election concerns him, but he has not altered his lifestyle to prepare for it.

He wakes up, showers (on most days!) goes to class, works nights· at Sam Goody and comes home to hang out with his friends and girlfriend, Trish. He doesn't consider himself active in politics at all, but he is contemplating the upcoming election.

Like many students, Bell is uncertain about who he is going to vote for. The November election exists as the first time that many students are presented with the opportunity to vote. Bell wants to be prepared.

"I don't wantto make an ignorant decision," Bell said and added that he watches the debates in the hopes that they will give him some guidance.

"I still have no idea who I'm going to vote for," Bell said.

Bell sits in a laid-back style on the couch, legs outwardly stretched and soda in hand. He is ready.

As he sits with a perplexed look on his face, Bell places a fixed stare on the television. People walk in and out of the living room laughing and talking, but nothing breaks his concentration.

"I'm watching this debate because I'm trying to figure out who to vote for," Bell said. . Throughout the debate, Bell shows various reactions.

He starts out very fixed. He listens to what is being said with little reaction to the candidate's speeches.

As the debate ensues, however, Bell becomes a tad restless. He quickly sheds his serious approach and starts to react to the political drama.

"Oh come on," Bell said in reference to one of Clinton's plans for economic comeback.

"Ooh, now that was a hit," Bell said after Bush took a personal shot at one of Clinton's policies.

A few more students wander into the room to see what is causing Bell to talk to himself!

Bell engages in conversation with them to get a feel for what they think of each candidate.

"The president doesn't matter," Karen Bell, senior RA said," it's the senators and congress that count."

"Come on Bill," Danielle Harris,junior, ::hanted to show her support for Governor Clinton.

• Bell started to do imitations of the candidates based on their personality traits. He stood up and pointed a crocked finger and spoke with a Southern accent about civil rights to mock Clinton. Next he pushed his ears forward with his fingers and began pouring out analogies comparing the government to just about anything to imitate Perot.

Suddenly the issues weren't as important as the personali-

Recognizeand appreciate Kappa contributions To the editor: I would like to thank the Loquitur staff for the wonderful pre-Parents Weekend articles. However, I am sadly disappointed with the fact that there wasn't anything written about it afterwards. The only reason someone would have known that an event might have ever taken place was that on the front cover there was a poor picture of the Homecoming King and Queen. I would like to know when Kappa Sigma Omega members will have an article written about the amount of time, effort and dedication that they give to this college.

I would like to inform this campus that Kappa Sigma Omega is a very vital organization on the campus. If we did not have the Kappa members, this school could not and would not have Parents Weekend, but also would not have thepeople to welcome the speakers for Cabrini Spirit Day, help with Sister Eileen's goodbye (Peace Day Ceremony), the Welcome Convocation and anything else that college puts together that needs student volunteers.

A change of speakers brought his out pictures in brilliant colors to go along with it.

Alcohol must be like a hunter's trap, that once it gets you, Bell let out a huge sigh as the debate concluded. you can't ever get away. You lose your freedom and remain "I stiJl don't know who I'm going to vote for."

"Right now," Bell said, "I wouldn't put my trust in any of forever captive.

So what did Joe mean ten ·days ago? How was he "free them. Clinton's a slick politician. Bush sounds good but look at last?" Does anyone really know? Did he think that he was at his track record. Perot's a great businessman but he doesn't free of alcohol's death grip? Did he feel he had broken the know a thing about politics or how to run a country."

Bell said that he was turned off at the "cheap shots" that chains which held him to a bottle? Or was it something else?

Was it something to do with his spirit? Was he making the candidates took at one another, although he did admit that a decision to free himself from all the pressures which were it added entertainment to the debate!

It makes him nervous, Bell said, to hear the candidates pushing him to find solace in drinking?

People think this way when they decide on suicide as a working so hard to make "the other guy" look bad because that signifies that they are not confident in their own capabili- way out of all the entanglements and demands oflife. They see a suicide death as the final freedom, the release of all ties.

Bell said that he's a little nervous about having two weeks earthly obligation. Was this the freedom Joe had spoken of?

I did some inquiring among friends at the funeral home to make this decision. The debates are over and he still remains without a preference for a candidate. He said that he and, yes, it did seem so. One man told me flat out that he is confused but knows that he is not motivated enough to read suspected suicide. Joe had been an alcoholic for years and his death came as no surprise. the paper everyday to enhance his decision.

So that was, after all, what he probably meant. He had "I probably won 'tknow until I get in the booth," Bell said. planned it all. He knew he was driving toward the final freedom.

I do not condone Joe's action because I love life too much. I refuse, however, to judge him because I have never experienced the self-destructive grip of alcoholism.

I would now like to recap the events that took place during Parents Weekend 1992. Dave Binder gave a wonderful performance on Friday. He played the songs that our students, alumni and parents requested. We hope he will be back.

Bobbi Wade, a 1992 graduate, praise the graduate division for the practical, useful classes as well as the high caliber of teaching.

Today, the graduate division is a totally self-sufficient program. Nancy Malone, executive assistant in the graduate division, said, "We do everything, from sending the admissions catalog to seeing them graduate."

According to Malone, two-thirds of the students in the graduate division are not Cabrini graduates.

Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice president of academic affairs, said that she was extremely proud of the growth of the graduate division as well as of the philosophy of education the graduate division teaches. "The philosophy it espouses is one that really motivates, en-

Malone cited the arrival of Dr. Jack McGovern, director of the graduate division, as a high point in the history of the program. "He has been a great attraction," Malone said.

Karen Berland!, director of public relations, agreed with malone. Berlandt said, "We were extremely lucky to have attracted someone of his caliber."

Berland! said that McGovern is a nationally-known expert in children's reading.

Last year McGovern was nominated for President Bush's "l,000 Points of Light" award and received a certificate for distinguished achievement, Berland! said.

McGov~rn stressed the personal treatment each graduate student receives.

McGovern said, "How many schools do people get a hug from someone in the office when they graduate?"

McGovern said that he was the most proud of the reading certification program begun by Dr. Martha Chaffee of the gradu~ ate division. McGovern, who does consulting work across the United States, said, "People are very impressed with our little

In the future, the graduate division may offer a master's degree in psychology, McGovern said. Primarily, McGovern said that he wants to consolidate and improve upon the present program.

McGovern cited the program's work with the Settlement Music School as something he wants the program to work on in the future. At Settlement, Cabrini graduate students are working to train artists to work in community art centers with children.

I.JIf\jiQhtlife Escape to the clubs and-pubs of Philly ...

by Matthew J. Macsisak staff writer

Contrary to popular belief, there is a world that actually exists outside the confines of Cabrini College. By this, I don't mean the five mile radius we have come to know as the Mainline. I'm not talking about the same.four or five bars that we almost always frequent, or those one or two restaurants we find ourselves always eating at. If you are looking to expand your horizons, and go past the local parameters to find social tranquility in different places, here are a few choices.

The Bank The Bank, at Sixth and Spring Garden streets, in center city Philadelphia, is the perfect spot for those "Mainline blues."

Located just off the Art Museum Circle, this old converted bank is one of the most popular clubs in the city. Open Monday through Saturday, The Bank offers great c_lrink specials throughout the week. On Thursday night, from 10 p.m. - 2 a.m., there is a $10 all-you-can-drink special with a "finger food" buffet. On Fridays from 9 -11 p.m., they have another $10 all you can drink special.

The range of atmosphere stems from your normal college "hipsters," to the bla;k clad alternative crowd. Dress is casual, but

sneakers are a no-no. So for all of you who have been dying to wear your funkadelic loafers, here is your chance.

The Bank has three floors with a different bar on each level. The basement bar is for all fans of classic rock-n-roll. The second floor has two bars and is mainly for those who like to gyrate to alternative dance music. And for all you Elvis impersonaters, the third floor karaoke machine is a chance to sing along with the "King."

Senior, and local style-betty, Linda Majeski is a frequent visitor to The Bank.

"It's a greatpeople-watchingplace. There's a very diverse crowd, unlike your typical Mainline scene."

Thursday night$ l Oall-you-can-eat-anddrink special from 10 p.m.-2 a.m. Friday nights offer techno, hip-hop and rave dance music. The cover charge is the same, and you may be 1 8 to get in the door. And for those who are a little daring, The Trocadero has theme parties every Saturday night. Entertainment is provided by a New York D.J., and you must be 21. Senior Leanne Bedwick enjoys The Trocadero for one simple reason. "It gives me an opportunity to get away from this area and not have to see the same people night after night."

The Trocadero is also a great haven for good alternative shows. The price of the concert ticket covers your admission into the club. All shows are for those 18 and older, and there is an upstairs bar for those over 21. "It's a great place to catch a show," Bedwick said.

"It's nice to be able to have a few beers after a concert, unlike the Spectrum where you have to leave when the band is over."

Trocadero The Trocadero, located on 10th and Arch Streets in Philadelphia is another one of the city's more popular spots.

The "Troe" opens its doors every Wednesday through Saturday at 9 p.m.

There is a $7 cover charge, and $5 if you have an invitation. Invitations available in the advertisements that are published in the Philadelphia Inquirer and the CityPaper.

Every Wednesday is alternative and industrial music night. You may be l ~ to chill, but 21 to swill. For those of you who are 21, Wednesday nights also have a Jagermeister drink special. There is a

Khyber Pass On 56 S. Second St., between Chestnut and Market streets, sits the hidden treasure of all bars. The Khyber P3:ss is not much bigger than the Wayne Tavern, but its classic pub style atmosphere, with its varnished

wood and open brass rails, makes it worth taking a trip into Philadelphia. The Khyber Pass is open Monday through Saturday, form noon until 2 a.m. If you find yourself in the area during lunch time, The Khyber Pass offers an excellent and reasonably priced lunch menu.

The bar itself is split into two sections.

The smaller section contains the main bar, while the other section has a large stage area with a small back bar. Yes, like The Trocadero, The Khyber Pass is also a great place to check out a show.

Senior, and New Jersey rock-n-roll hero Frank Bressi, enjoys the whole atmosphere surrounding a Khyber Pass show. "It's an excellent place to see un\ferground shows.

It's a chance to meet the artists you've come to see. I met Mike Watt from Firehose there.

And if you understand the significance of that, then you' II understand why it's such a great place to see shows."

In addition to the merriment of food and dance, The Khyber Pass has an extensive beer menu. · They offer a two-page pamphlet of beers by country and/or region. The Khyber Pass has every beeryou could possibly want, and probably 15 you've never heard of, from all over the world. Bressi said, "If you're a beer connoisseur, you'll like The Khyber Pass."

Faking your way through the bar

by Kelly McDonald

staff writer

A fake ID to someone under age is like an inside tip to someone on the stock exchange, it opens opportunities that could harbor great reward but also runs the risk of strong penalties. It serves as a pass for an under age person into an otherwise restricted environment.

Fake identification can be obtain through several different methods. Penalties vary depending on the type of ID that is used, the circumstances and also the state it is used in. Each state has its own method to combat the spread of fake identification.

Pennsylvania added a hologram, which makes false duplication more difficult. This does not however, make it impossible.

Senior Ellen Robbins, now 21, purchased a home-made Pennsylvania drivers license.

Robbins said she stood in front of a blue poster board where her picture was taken with a Polaroid camera. The information that was needed on the drivers license was typed and then photo copied to shrink it in size.

The person making the ID drew it with colored pencils. The informat1onwas the placed between the back of a real drivers license and clear lamination and was ironed together.

With what seemed to be the perfect ID, Robbins entered Spoilsports, a tavern in Northeast Philadelphia. She said the bouncer immediately knew the ID was fake and took it from her. She was lucky enough notto get fined. 0 According to Robbins, her parents had to meet with the owners of the bar and her ID was tom up.

When a drivers license picture is taken in New Jersey, a person under 21 gets a side profile picture on their license. A person over 21 faces front.

Senior Matt Capone now 21, obtained his fake ID from the NJ. Department of

Motor Vehicles. By using his over-21 brother's birth certificate and social security card, Capone duplicated his brother's drivers license.

While Capone was riding in the car with two friends and two cases of beer, his friend was pulled over for speeding. Upon arrest, Capone said he was searched and found possessing false identification. Capone said an open beer can was also found in the back seat where he was sitting. According to Capone, he was charged with under-age drinking, a $500 fine, and a $250 fine for the open beer can. Capone's lawyer plea bargained so his license was not taken away for the normal six month period.

MicheleLynch, a senior who is now 21. borrowed a copy a her friend's birth certificate, a Maryland resident. For proof of residency Lynch said she went to Maryland and got a library card and a check cashing card in her friend's name. She used a false social security number and address. She said she took all this information to the Maryland Vehicle Association and applied for a non-drivers license.

Jeff Lawrence, squad supervisor of the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement Pennsylvania State Police, enforces the laws regarding fake ID. There are different laws that are listed in the book of Crime Codes, depending on what type of ID. Using someone else's ID is listed as crime code 6307, "Misrepresentaion of Age to Secure Alcoholic Beverages." The first charge is a summary offense, which results in a sliding fine up to $500 and a 90-day suspension of a drivers license. The next offense becomes a misdemeanor and leaves the guilty person with a criminal record.

Possessing fake ID is listed under crime code 6310.3, "Mere Possession." The first charge is a summary offense and results in a mandatory fine up to $500.

pho1o by Lorraine Mane LHI

Obtaining fake identification for the under age drinker opens up many new social opportunities, however one often forgets the strict penalties involved if caught using it.

A subsequent offense is also handled as a misdemeanor.

Making or selling fake ID is listed under crime code 6310.2 "Manufacturing or Sale of False Identification." The first offense is considered a misdemeanor and has a sliding fine of $1,000 to $5,000 or a two-year prison term.

Taverns and bars handle incidents with fake ID according to the circumstances.

The Wayne Tavern usually turns away fake ID. According to Glen, a bartender at the tavern, if the bar is raided by the Liquor Control Board(L.C.B) and minors are present with fake ID, the situation is handled by the LCB. and they penalize the individuals according to the offense they committed.

Smokey Joe's tavern likes to see the immediate suspension of a drivers license

and $1000 fine given to anyone they catch with fake ID, said Anthony Ryan a bartender at S~o~ Joe's.

According to Corky Cronin, a bartender at the Marita's Cantin a, they confiscate fake ID and ift!le people possessing fake ID give the door man a problem, they are warned that the police· will come and check the ID for verification. They will be arrested if they give the door man problem when taking their ID. According to the L.C.B. it is necessary for these local taverns to strongly enforce these laws because minors consuming alcohol jeopardize their license to keep their taverns open. A $1000 fine is issued to the bartender who serves minors, regardless if the bartender thought the ID was legitimate.

The history of karaoke: The past, present,and futureof a new trend

by Belinda Desher

arts & entertainment editor

Karaoke is a hot fad that has surged into the American pop culture. But how did it become so popular? It was introduced in the United States only four years ago.

Karaoke machines blend Jive singing with the accompaniment offarniliar songs that have been doctored to remove the true artist's vocals. According to Philadelphia Magazine, karaoke began as a form of entertainment in Japan as a way for businessmen to belt out Irene Cara tunes and let off steam.

Karaoke gives amateur singers the chance to move from their private-shower studios to the main stage of bars and restaurants. "People liketosingtheirfavoritesongs," Andy Arriviello, owner of Hinnen Mobile Disk Jockeys Inc., said.

Junior Beth Mulvihill, chose "More today than yesterday" as her karaoke song during orientation in September.

When Mulvihill recalled the memory of her performance she said, "I booed myself I was so bad."

Most people do not have the nerve to get up in front of complete strangers and belt out their favorite tune. So what is the charm of karaoke that attracts audience participation?

"It all has to tlowith alcohol," Arriviello said. Arriviello explained that when someone has had a few beers, they tend to relax and let down their guard. "The judgment of the quality of their singing changes even though their singing doesn't," Arriviello said.

TheBankatSixthandSpringGardenstreetsoffers karaoke every night. Mollie's located at Second and Market streets, lias karaoke on special evenings whenever they run contests.

Karaoke can be enjoyed in the home, at weddings, and even in the supermarket.

Supermarket? Yes, one day you may have the opportunity to sing in the produce aisle of a nearby grocery store just like folks in Wichita, KA. In May, Pepsi Co. Inc. hosted a weeklong karaoke contest, in a Wichita supermarket to give away prizes and tickets to the Garth Brooks concert. The event drew in over 50 people a night, according to Business Week Magazine.

Pioneer Electronics Corp. introduced karaoke to the U.S. electronic-consumer market in 1988, according to Business Week Magazine. Manufacturers packaged karaoke in a variety of forms geared toward every age. As a children's toy, it consists of a sturdy microphone and cassette player which allows children to sing along with the music. CD and cassette players are karaoke-ready for home entertainment.

Melanie Bruno, sophomore, and Jen Ferris, junior, made their karaoke debut in the comfort of Sullivan house. They choose "Only the good die young" by Billy Joel to dazzle their friends. Both laughed looking back on the experience.

"It's a great way to have a good time," Ferris said.

- Karaoke entertainment is expanding. By 1993, Video simulations may accompany karaoke singing in bars according to Philadelphia magazine.

The Franklin Institute is running a two-week "cutting edge" exhibit of laserdisk karaoke from Dec. 15 thru 31. It is Pioneer's newest invention in digital technology.

According to Elaine Milnor, public relations manager at the Franklin Institute, the karaoke machine re-dubs the vocals and refines the sound as you perform. "So even if you can't carry a tune, you can," Milnor said.

Recoveringalcoholictalksto stud·ents; shares~xperiencesand warns of dangers

by Danielle DiMarco

staff writer Alcoholism. It is not a lack of character, but rather a disease. Serious, dangerous and life threatening results are often associated with the causes and effects of the addiction to alcohol.

Today, there are an abundance of facilities and organizations where alcoholics can receive help and treatment for their disease.

Before a person undergoes therapy, they must first recognize the warning signs of addiction to alcohol. Uncontrolled drinking of alcoholic beverages and dependence on the drug are some clues to a problem ..

There are common questions asked about determining if a person is an alcoholic. An example of these types of questions are, how can one determine if a person experiences problems with alcoholism and what is correlated with an alcoholic?

Some reasons to why people drink are to relieve tensions, to compensate with daily problems and as a substitute to cover up emotions, such as guilt or remorse. Alcohol serves as a temporary solution, that can swell and become worse with time.

On October 6th, at 9: 15 p.m., Rapping about reality: The truth about alcohol and drugs program, took place. In Xavier's Great Room, Mike Knorr, a 26-year-old recovering drug and alcohol addict, spoke about his reality with his risks of being an addict.

Stepping back into Knorr's past, his addiction started between the ages of four and five. "It all started with actifed liquid," Knorr said, but he has trouble remembering what happened in his past.

Absolut AIDS: altruismor deceit

by Do11,glas Eppler

staff writer In an age where stealth capabilities are the ideal, it is hard to tell what is real and where deception reigns, or who is genuinely concerned and whose ethics fall prey to their wallets. Even contributions to a cause traverse the line between aid and advertising.

With so many causes to endorse or to exploit, Joe Public's vision blurs, he tosses a coin, and the silver settles his moral dilemma.

Examine, then, if you will, the dilemma presented by Absolut Vodka's current project.

In a supposed article printed this summer in USA Today, the distillery cleverly describes its campaign to contribute monetarily to Design Industries Foundation for AIDS (DIFFA), the foundation of designers dedicated to raising funds for AIDS research across the nation. For those of you playing along at home, look closely.

Appearing at the top of this apparent news article in very fine print is the word "advertisement." Suddenly the bottle spins and readers who have not yet noticed come to .the cosmic conclusion that the print before them is, in fact, another Absolut Vodka advertisement minus the bottle, goddess-like female party-goers, and the catchy phrase.

Do readers, though, suspect cloaked intentions or is the corporation still flaunting a

well polished halo? According to the article/ advertisement, Absolut Vodka has commissioned a total of 400 lithographs (usually referred to as prints) of 51 new, original works created by artists from each state and the District of Columbia.

Of these 400 prints, 300 will be sold to the public at $300 a print. These proceeds then will go- to DIFFA. So the list of those benefiting from such sales has climbed to a whopping three: DIFF A, upcoming artists, and, of course, Absolut Ego ...err, Vodka. The question, however, has not changed -is the vodka company aiding or exploiting the issue of AIDS and the talent of new artists? Let's check in with Joe Public, or a resemblance thereof.

"It's a deceit," said Dr. Joseph Romano of Cabrini's English/communication and philosophy departments. Romano opposed the vodka company's tactics and accused them of "exploitation of the tragedy of AIDS to promote their own agenda." Romano cited the disguised advertisement's resemblance to a news article as a means "to get people to read. It is a print version of an 'infomercial.' It is more of an affront or insult than unethical," Romano said.

When asked if he felt the campaign would truly benefit all parties involved, Romano

said, "It's hard to say. I don't judge by how must include the Absolut image in it (the many it helps. My problem is its deceptive painting)," she said.

Speaking from a student perspective, senature. major Karen "I'd send money to AIDS just out of nior and communications Kerchusky was impressed by the advertisespite," Romano added. Later he commented that the project is "exploiting artists as well ment and the plan. "She found the paintings as AIDS" and that he disagreed with the to be "for a good cause" and added that "if notion of requiring artists to include the you're against these pieces, you are also image of their state and Absolut Vodka as against research for AIDS." Kerchusky also failed to notice the article stated in the USA Today article or advertisein USA Today was an advertisement until ment.

"Is it art for the sake of art or art for the the fine print was pointed out to her. She called this unusual style "clever" and sake of vodka?" Romano questioned. "effective." As to whether or not the plan Officials at Carillon Importer, Absolut Vodka's importer in New York, could not be would benefit or exploit those involved, Kerchusky suggested that "there is a fine line reached for comment.

fridaY, oct. 23u 1992

GEORGE BUSH ONTHE DEFICIT: Bush is offering a program that he says will reduce the deficit to $118 billion from the current $330 billion by 1997.

Bush plans to limit growth in Medicare and Medicaid, food stamps and Veteran benefits except Social Security.

Additionally, Bush favors a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget similar to those in many states.

Clinton promises to cut the deficit to $140 billion by 1996.This is also based on a notion that the economy will grow faster than most economists project.

The major elements are roughly $150 billion in new taxes and about $40 billion more in military cuts than the Bush platform proposal.

Approximately two-thirds of the additional tax revenue would come from higher income taxes on the wealthiest two percent of the population. (joint annual incomes of $200,000 or more), a surtax on incomes over $1 million and a higher minimum tax on wealthy taxpayers.

Perot promises to balance the budget after five years.The gasoline tax would be raii,ed ten cents a gallon each year for five years.

The top tax rate would be raised to 33 percent from 31 percent for couples making in excess of $90,000 a year. Taxes on Social Security benefits received by upperincome taxpayers and government program benefits would be taxed.

Employers would betaxed on health insurance premiums more than $335 per month. Many programs would be cut by at least 15 percent and more money would be spent on public works.

E.S.A: A change in name for a change in ti.me

by Paul Crowell

staff writer

If you have been wondering what happened to the Black Student Alliance, do not worry. It now exists under a new name: the Ethnic Student Alliance (ESA).

According to Resident Director Scott Dorsey, who is a moderator for the ESA, the student members voted for name change to reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of the group itself.

"We didn't want to limit ourselves," Dorsey said.

Senior Jheri Rayon, who was president of the BSA last year, said that she felt the change was necessary because in the past students who weren't black were shy about saying that they were a member of the Black Student Alliance.

Sophomore Kendre' Martin, the current president of the ESA, said, "We didn't want to make other minorities feel unwelcome."

Dorsey said that he hopes that the name change will encourage more students to join the alliance, but he doesn't know what effect, if any, the change will have.

Martin said that all students

are welcome to participate in the ESA. She added that many races and ethnic groups are represented in the alliance, includ-

'We learn about each other' Senior Jheri Rayon ing Caucasians.

Jennifer Marks-Gold, director of student services, who is also a moderator, said that even when it was still the Black Student Alliance, it was open to all students.

She said that the name change may encourage more participation by making the alliance more approachable for students.

According to Dorsey, there are more Hispanics on campus now than in previous years. He added that Hispanics as well as other minorities, experience similar problems that AfricanAmericans do and they share the same goals for the alliance.

According to Dorsey, although the name has changed, the mission of the alliance remains the same.

He said that one of the aims of the ESA has always been to promote cultural diversity on campus.

According to Dorsey, the ESA strives to educate the campus community about different cultures present on campus through various programs. He said that they also accomplish this by bringing issues that affect minorities to the forefront

of the campus consciousness.

Martin said that in addition to promoting knowledge and history of various cultures of students on campus, the ESA also serves as a support group for minority students.

According to Martin, the members embrace the cultural distinctions of each student in

order to enrich the group as a whole.

"We learn about each other," said Rayon.

According to Martin, the ESA plans to schedule various speakers on campus throughout the year. She also said that they plan to schedule special activities during cultural awareness week, which runs from Nov. 2nd through the 8th.

The ESA will also be holding its annual fashion show (no date as of yet), which Martin said was very successful last year. In addition, a reggae party will also be planned.

According to Dorsey, events for the upcoming year are still · in early planning stages due to the fact that the year's budget has not yet been settled.

According to Martin, the ESA also networks with similar organizations at other area colleges such as Eastern,

Villanova, and West Chester.

According to Rayon, memb~rs also go to cultural events off campus and see movies and theater productions done by minority artists.

For example, members went as a group to see the movie "Sarafina."

According to Marks-Gold, the alliance has done such things as inviting students from inner-city high schools to spend the weekend with them.

"How many people would give up their weekend like that?" she said ..

Marks-Gold spoke with high praise for the ESA. "We need a group like this," she said.

She said that minority students put up with a Jot on campus, yet the ESA perseveres and works hard to bring about change· on campus.

The ESA meets every Wednesday at-4:~p.m. in the Dean of Students Conference Room in the Widener Center.

All students are welcome.

Students forced to live in cramped conditions

By Dana Caterson

Two's company and three's a crowd. For some the thought may provoke memories of summer camp without having to deal with the mosquitoes. Regardless of the memories that come to mind, could living with three people in college be considered easy?

According to first-year student Tim Wonson, "No,it isn't easy. It's really crowded and one of my roommates is a slob, but I've shared rooms before so I'm used to

Sophomores Sherri Cannon, Heather McAllister and Tina Longo were all friends last year and decided to live in a triple this year. "It's been great. Every problem we come across, we work it out," Cannon said.

"We schedule roommate time, where we all get together and hang out by ourselves to know each other better."

At Cabrini residents who opt to live in a single pay a higher premium, however there is no change in tuition price between double and triple rooms.

Tom Hatler, first year student, lives in a triple at Xavier. He said, "I think we should 'I think we should get get refunded money or pay less than doubles refunded money or pay less because we really don't have more space. than doubles because we With three people we have more stuff."

Becky Pappano, first-year student, said "The only time I had to share a room with someone before college was during vacations." Pappano rooms with two other firstyear students, Angie Bruce and Kim Scarborough. Pappano believes that rooming with the two will get better with time.

"We all pretty much get along but we've had problems, not with space but with each of

Resident assistant Missy Von Siegel said, '"What I suggest for all three roommates is to get together and talk in a forum about problems and discuss each others needs, because a lot of times it's a lack of communication."

"I don't mind being in a triple because I'm still getting the same education and were living in the same donns as everyone else. My thing is I am a light sleeper and I want my sleep," said first year student Angie Bruce.

Eastern sends Cabrini PACking "Two different teams," is how soccer Coach Duncan Hubley described his team after the games in the week of Oct. 11.

The Cavaliers played at Eastern on Tuesday, Oct. 13. They went down in a 3-1 loss. The only goal was scored by co-captain Glen Jaskelewicz.

On Thursday, Cabrini went to Philadelphia Bible College. The Cavs won with a victory of 7-1.

Seven different players scored, including Jaskelewicz, Jason Giles, and Joe Ricci.

What made this week's games interesting was that Eastern played Philadelphia Bible on Oct. 8 and the Cabrini team went to watch the game and scout their opponents.

"Eastern tied Philadelphia Bible last week," co-captain Eric Burke said.

In regards to Cabrini's game against Eastern, Burke said that "Eastern came to play. We really didn't."

"Tuesday we definitely weren't a team," senior Jeff Magee said.

"There were people on our team who didn't realize how big a deal that game was."

"We really didn't know about the impact of the game," freshman Jim Gregory said.

Dave Capozzolo, freshman, said, 'The game against Eastern was more ~

important for the upperclassmen."

Sophomore Steve Spence said that "after the loss against Eastern, we were brought back to reality."

"We came across a tough loss against Eastern," junior Jason Giles said. "We've been trying to bounce back. We did that real well today."

Giles was referring to the victory against Philadelphia Bible on Oct. 15. "That game showed what we could do, that we are capable of playing good soccer," Giles said.

"Today was such a big difference in that we played more like a team," Magee said.

Burke said. "We played like a team. Seven different people scored and we let the ball do the work."

Coach Hubley said, "I can't explain it. (It's like they're) two different teams. I don't think we're that good."

"Philadelphia Bible was not aggressive enough," said Hubley.

"Still, we should have beat them 100."

Hubley said," I didn't think we playedthatwell. We'vehadarough season; we lost games that we should have won. But not Tuesday. I don't think we played well enough to win.

When asked about the outlook, Hubley said, "We have some interesting games coming up. We play Haverford and Trenton State. If we play smart, it should be interesting."

"We still have eight games left.

We're playing to be 7-0 for the rest of the season. That will give us more than a winning season," Giles said.

Magee said, "We have Shippensburg, Trenton State, and Stockton coming up.

We'll be starting off on the right foot and just wantto finish ahead."

Astothefuture, Magee said, "We'll be looking for the juniors, sophomores and freshmen to step up because they're going to be the leaders next year."

If the bar scene doesn't appeal to him on a particular week, Karcsh said he does have two other options.

"We can also go to Frank Sciolla's (senior) apartment for nothing, and there's always McDonald's," Karcsh said.

"The Big Mac attack- two for $2.12."

Healey from the Hip:Greatest American Hero? bob healey guest columnist

You are use to reading my articles under the premise that they come from my hip.

Well my friends, this has nothing to do with my hip.

I am sick, I repeat, absolute sick and tired ( do I sound like your mother yet?) of hearing about how great Magic Johnson is. He is pathetic. I know that may bother many of you out there but he is the scum that scum wipes off the bottom of their shoes.

Is our society that starved for a hero that we enshrine Magic? If so, let me go hungry cause I need not food.

If I told you that I had sex with a department chairperson next door to a Board of

Trustee meeting would you consider me a hero. No you would chastise me .. So why is Magic a hero? Why have the Lakers given him a $14 million contract? Hey Earving, how much of that money are you going to donate to AIDS research and/or treatment.

How much time have you spent with AIDS victims?

Magic was critical of George Bush saying he hasn't done enough to find a cure for AIDS. Well how much has Magic done? He has gone out of his way to separate himself from those who have contracted AIDS from homosexual intercourse or from intravenous drug use. Almost like his AIDS is a better AIDS and he seems to almost brag about how he contracted AIDS. To me he appears to want laudatory comments on his sexual activity. He is almost proud of it.

That is disgusting. He even made a joke about how many women he has "had" with Michael Cooper during the ceremony to retire his uniform number.

From day one I have thought that Magic was far from a hero. I was sickened by how

much attention he got at the All-Star game and during the Olympics. He is still an excellent player and I admire his play on the court, but he is a phony.

When he and Isiah (whose name is missing an "a") Thomas kiss before a game it is for show and it turns my stomach. They are so fake that a three dollar bill seems authentic.

The entire Magic aura is fake to me.

If he is a hero and a role model to young inner-city youths than we are in trouble as a society.

Are we that pathetic that someone like Magic Johnson is a role model, yet alone one of the most heralded role models today.

What of kind of message is sent to youths today if Magic is one to model your life after. He boarders on bragging about how he contracted a disease that will, in due time, kill him. Also how many women has he passed the disease on to. He says he knows how he got AIDS but not from whom. Well whom has he given AIDS to? His wife? His

·Men'svolleyballretains clubstatu_s. -~-

new-born child? If either of them have AIDS they may not know for six more years.

That's the kind of father I want, one who threate'ns my life. Get real, how can you idolize this clown? Sure I sympathize with him, as I do with anyone who is sick, but that is where my positive feelings for Magic end.

Alas, my friends this article is not totally against Mr. Johnson. He has put a face to an incredibly mysterious disease and he has shown that those who are HIV positive can lead fulfilling lives.

But he is not a hero. He has failed as "God's chosen one to shed light on the AIDS virus." I can't say that youths are any more informed about AIDS following Magic's odyssey.

I apologize if you disagree with my afore dissertation.

Who am I kidding, I ain't apologizing to anyone. Magic is not a hero, get that through your heads America. No wonder we have so few heroes in our society, we just don't kno\1/ where to look for them.

Team gears for midnight madness tip-off

by Bob Macartney staff writer

If you have happened to walk by Sacred Heart Gymnasium recently, you might have noticed the 1992-93 version of the basketball team working out. In recent years, this may have been considered a violation of the NCAA regulations, but thanks to a change in the ruling on conditioning work, the team is able to work out while Coach John Dzik is in the gym. The rule stipulates that a team may not practice with the coach in the gym until Nov. 1." However, the coach may be present as long as a ball is not involved in the workout," said senior Frank Sciolla.

Not only has the NCAA rule changed, but change seems to be the nonn when discussing this upcoming season. Since the team is coming off of their first losing season in years, these early season workouts may be a way of showing the team's dedication to

"These workouts will definitely help us. lt will build up our stamina. WestartKov. l,so we have to get into shape before the season."

As one can clearly see, the team has responded well to the conditioning work.

The team is excited about the upcoming season, and Coach Dzik is hoping that the fans will become excited as well. For yet another look at change, Cabrini will have an attack of ''midnight madness" this season.

This is not to be confused with "March madness", the tournament held at the end of the year to determine the NCAA champion. Instead, Cabrini students are urged to show up at the gym at midnight on Nov. I to witness an hour-long practice. Other universities have held "midnight madness" in the past and their students have turned out in costume and the basketball season has opened amongst great fanfare. Cabrini is hoping to bring these same festivities to our campus, and all are encouraged to participate.

Once the season begins, fans of the basketball team will realize that this is a different squad from past Cabrini teams. This past offseason was one of change in many areas. For starters, the team will no longer participate in the ESAC, but have now joined the new Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC).

The team is greatly iooking forwara to piaying in the PAC this season. Assistant Coach Tom Kelly said, "We are looking forward to a much better season than last year."

Looking to improve on last season's performance, Coach Dzik had "one of my best recruiting years ever." The additions of Manny Hernandez, Richard Grace, Greg Grant,EricTidwell,HarryCarr,NateBowles, Reggie Morant, and Mike Dever will greatly improvetheteam'sperformancethisseason.

Add on to this a few other recruits and the Cavs will be a much deeper team than last year.

The addition of these players will also provide fans with a-much more exciting, uptempo style of play. Look for the Cavs to play strong defense this season, and pressure the other team constantly, creating many fast-break opportunities. This style will keep fans on the edge of their seats for the entire season.

Although it is still early in the year, and the season has not officially started yet, the outlook is bright. However. according to Dzik, "the situation changes every day atthis point." Is it coincidental that he mentions the word change in this statement? That is what this season i~)l!~ut, change. Hopefully it is a change for the better.

Immaculata remained at two while Cabrini went up to six then nine. lmmaculata later got two points, then three making their way to six. Meanwhile, Cabrini doubled its score to 12. Immaculata eventually got 10 points, but Cabrini had already gotten 15, and won the game.

After the first two games, Cabrini got a break while the other teams played. When they returned it was all down hill.

The third match was against Delaware Tech, and Cabrini lost in two games. The scores were 4-15 and 6-15. Last year Delaware Tech were the tournament champions Cabrini played Northeast Christian in the play-offs and lost in two games 4-15 and 615.

"Cabrini always has a hard 1ime with Northeast Christian. We have only beaten them once in the four times we've played them in the last two years. They have beaten us in the finals of the Rosemont Tournament for the past two years." Harrigan said.

The finals were played by Bryn Mawr College and Northeast Christian. Northeast Christian won in two games 15-7 and 15-8.
