Campusparticipatesin struggle~gainst the problemof hungerand homelessness byHeather McAllister staff writer

Hunger is a prevalent topic at Cabrini when students are overheard complaining about the cafeteria food. Such complaints may be caused by another dinner of Froot Loops and ice cream, but at least there was a dinner. Housing is on the minds of students when a new parietal policy is being drafted.

The constraints ofliving in Xavier or Woodcrest may be irritating at times, but at least there is a safe place to sleep.

Over 500 million people worldwide are suffering from hunger and homelessness while Cabrini students have both food and shelter. Cabrini is attempting to raise

the consciousnessof the collegecommunity to these problems through the celebration of hunger and homeless awareness week from Sunday, Nov. 15 to Friday, Nov. 20.

According to Sister Bernadette Anello, director of campus ministry, there has been a recognition of hunger awareness week for at least six years. Dr. Beverly Riley-Bryde, then of campus ministry and now an instructor, and former student Peter Casazza were instrumental in the school celebration of hunger awareness. This year the scope of the week has been broadened to encompass homeless issues as well as hunger.

The week commences with a special liturgy on Sunday night in the chapel at 6 p.m. The following

evening at 9:30 there will be a film , by becoming a Eucharistic minister and discussion group in the and joining the Carewalk. Every Woodcrest Smoker Lounge.

On Wednesday afternoon students also may serve homeless people at the soup kitchen of Old St. Joseph's Church.

According to senior Kristen Sweger, World Fast Day, which will be observed on Thursday, is the most popular event of the week. As a chairperson of the event Sweger and other students collect the names and meal ticket numbers of residents. Students are asked to give up their lunch on Thursday. Seiler'sdonates$1.75

Communityfightsto save area highschools

edi.ior-,.aw;r,

People gathered together outside the church waiting for the doors to open.

When they did, groups filed in and filled every available space, cramming as many as they could into each pew.

They sat with concerned expressions.

Students,with faces green and yellow--their schoolcolors,cheeredas if they were atapep rally. Many of the adults wore pins or displayed signs reading Save Our Schools.

Senior DanaMarie Every of Bishop Kenrick High School emerged from the crowd. She wore navy blue tights to cover her legs. The pleats in her blue and green knee-length skirt were neatly pressed. On her blue and green sweater was a Bishop Kenrick emblem worn proudly on her left shoulder.

She spoke with passion, drawing the crowd in deeper and deeper with every word. At times the audience responded to Every with applause, then retreated back to silence.

"Our school is much more than books and lockers," Every said. "It is much more than just teachers. We walk together, talk together and grow togeth~r."

Every directed her words to Cardmal Anthony Bevilacqua, who sat in the front pew with arms crossed, his face expressing no emotion.

Face reality; take control Realizing the need for respect This school is very backwards in its dealings with sexual is~ues. One can almost infer that the school is taking on the old "ignore it and it will go away" position. Such an attitude is definitely hurting students.

Many students are having sex and putting their health at risk. Often colleges provide students with supplies such as condoms and other birth control methods that protect against disease and unwanted pregnancy. By providing such measures, the school would actually be encouraging students to take responsibility for their actions. ~lso, it is hypocritical that the school bring in numerous AIDS victims and experts who pound in their message regarding the importance of safe sex and the use of condoms when this college does not even provide us with such prevention. When the college knows that students are having sex, but refuses to address the notion of birth control, it is telling students that unprotected sex is more acceptable than safe sex.

It must be taken into consideration, however, that we.do attend a Catholic institution. Many administrators and board members are extremely dedicated to upholding Catholic standards regarding the use of birth control. If change ever does occur on this campus, it will be a long, slow process.

In the meantime, it is our responsibility to take care of ourselves.

We need to respect our bodies and take measures to prevent disease.

If we feel we are mature enough to have sex, then we must realize all of the negative consequences that may accompany such activity.

Responsibility always accompanies independence. If we want to be free to make our own decisions regarding our sexuality, then we must accept and prepare for all of the potential consequences regarding our self-set standards.

All freedom involves a price, and with deadly sexually-transmitted diseases such as AIDS going around, that price could be our lives if we are not responsible.

Having Keith Marks and the jazz band in the cafeteria during lunch was a great idea. No one who ate there left without knowing that it was Cultural Diversity Week.

Although "Slip 'n' Slide" was great fun as kids, it's a bit hazardous now. The leaf-covered terrain in back of the library that leads to the houses is nothing short of dangerous on rainy days. Is it possible to rake this up before someone seriously hurts themselves?

Student questions ladarola s privileges

Just when we thought that the campus was maturing, someone went and busted a window in Xavier for absolutely no reason. On top of it all, he/she does not even have the courtesy to admit this destruction which will cause the entire building to pay for the vandalism. How old are we?

I received some information about how physical plant and housekeeping perform certain duties at Dr. Iadarola's house.

Why should they do this? We cannot receive any housekeeping for the houses, but Dr. Iadarola's house can get cleaned.

Why can't Dr. Iadarola perform her own duties? Does housekeeping do her laundry?

Does physical plant perform little duties around her house? These are basic chores most people perform in their households.

Dr. Iadarola is the president of Cabrini College and should be able to do these duties herself.

Housekeeping and Physical Plant should do duties which are for the campus rather than off campus.

Education majors take brunt of poor schedule To the editor: The class offerings for Spring semester are not at all conducive to the schedules of education majors. There are hardly any classes offered on Mondays and Fridays within the education major. This forces us to take all of our classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays because we student teach all day Wednesday.

Now at first the routine four-day weekend may seem like a luxury. When you really take a look at it, however, cramming all of your

classes into two days takes away from our ability to benefit from our academics. Weare so overloaded within those two days that it is hard to imagine us leaving those classrooms with thorough retentionof the material taught Also, taking 4 or 5 classes on Tuesday hardly leaves us with time to prepare and get well-rested for our student teaching on Wednesday. All-to-often we are in class until 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday night. Many of us are deprived of the sleep we need to successfully perform at our placements on Wednesday because of our late-evening schedules.

We hope that this problem will be taken into consideration by the education department and that they will work to make the fall schedule more accommodating. Thank you.

Join the cast; see the other side always got themessage that if you treat girls like dirt, you' IInever have to look for a date. Promiscuitybuilds your reputation. The part of Bernie that is closest to me exists in his storytelling capabilities. I love to tell stories. The bigger the audience, the better the story.

Lipar: I can relate to Deb's frustration at the lack of understanding between herself and the men in her life. Deb really doesn't know what she wants and I can sometimes identify with that emotion.

by Mary Jane Inman managing and perspectives editor

You nestleinto your seat and siz.eup the personin front of you, trying to decide which side to lean towards in order to get the best view. The lights dim and the excitementbegins to mount. In the dark, you hear the actors situating themselves on stage and you openyoureyeswideandtrytomakeoutwhatisgoingon. Finally, the lights come up and you fix your sight on the scene. The entertainment has begun.

Have youever wonderedwhat it mustbe liketo be centerstage?

All of the preparations, long rehearsal hours and gut-wrenching nervousness that precedes the pelformance often remain unknown to the audience.

Junior Brian Killen and seniors Stephanie Ranieri, Tom Berretone and Lisa Lipar said that acting involves many unseen aspects. Join these actors as they create their own drama while relatingtheirexperiencesinthecurrently-running"SexualPerversity in Chicago."

SCENEVIII: My Character Killen:My characterwantsto be Bernie and,essential!y, ends

SCENEI: Why Am I Here?

Killen: I did a scene from this play in acting class freshman year. I was immediatelydrawn towards Danny and his situation.

He is tom between his friendand girlfriend.It's a popular struggle on campus and everybody goes through it.

Ranieri: I read the play before and was very excited to hear about it being pelformed at the school. It's very different for Cabrini. I likeitbecauseitisaplayaboutseriousmatterspresented in a realisticform.

Berretone:Well, itcertainlywasn'tthemoney. The language is rather harsh, but realistic and the story content is the hard truth.

It is not a typical drama and it is very humorous. The best part aboutthe wholestoryis thatit does nothave thatsyrupy-sweet,tidy ending. Besides, a little controversy never hurt the school.

Lipar: I just like to act. To tell you the truth I made up my mindto go out for the play beforeI even knew what we weredoing.

SCENEII: The Most DifficultAspect Killen:The biggest struggle If aced was having to say "I love you"to my girlfriend,Deb, duringthat one scene. I had to actually feel that I loved her and that's not an easy thing to do. It's very difficult to say it and act like you mean it - even in real life.

Ranieri:By far the largest challengeconsisted of getting the meaning across.This was notjust a playof foul language.It should make people think. The play serves as a warning about what can happen to people when they abuse their relationships. We had to keep their attention.

Berretone:This was the first "real" play I've ever been in. I had to memorize lineswhichcan be very difficult. Inthebeginning I wasjust recitinglineswithoutfeelingwhat I was saying. I'm used to improv,and memorizedlines are not easyto work with.

Lipar:Tone of voiceis very important. Ifl said my lineswith the wrong intonation,I would send the wrong messagesout to the audience about my character. It was difficult to get it just right.

SCENEill: UncomfortableSituations Killen:The languagereally botheredme at times. I had to say the infamous"C" word in a fight scene and that is not a bomb that I usually drop. I felt like a dirtbag.

Ranieri:Nothingin the script itselfbotheredme. What really irked me was all the controversy. It just made the pressure to pelform wellso intense.·Actually,the undertonethatmy character isa lesbiandid make me feel a littleuncomfortablenow that I think about it. I can't say that I identify with that notion!

Berretone:In its finalform, I am quite comfortablewith every aspect of this play. While in rehearsal, though, some uncomfortable situations cropped up. For instance, it was suggested that I "fondle·•myself and give the impression of masturbationduring one of the scenes. That was just a little too much for me.

Lipar: Anytime you act, it is initiallyawkward. You have to become somebody else and get into their psyche. Eventually, though you learn who your character is and you become more comfortable portraying that person.

SCENEIV: The BiggestObstacle Killen:Speedand timing was reallydifficultto get down. The author's timing is really fast and if I missed my beat the whole scene could be shot.

Ranieri:Actuallyliving the moment in your scenes is always a big challenge. The biggest hurdle, though, was probably my need to keep a straight face in the bar scene. There I am totally reaming out Tom and throwing all sorts of obscene insultsat him and chewhole time all I want to do is laugh in his face.

Berretooe:It was so hard to keep it going. In the beginning ..JIof my lines soundedexactlythe same. Neal told me that I bored '1.im.I realized then how much work I had aheadof me.

Lipar: I was very taken aback when administration and

facultymembersapproachedme and questionedmy involvement in the play. I had to learn to shrug off such criticism. Because of the controversy,we had to prove to everyonethat we could handle the roles. This created tremendous pressure.

SCENEV: ImportantIssues Killen:Of coursethisplay ismainlyaboutrelationships.It also toucheson how peopleinteq>retsex and the differentviews on the purpose of their sexuality. It shows how men often mistreat women and that a lot of guys really are out for "one thing."

Ranieri:People really can bemean and hurtfulto each other. ltreally isa mean play. It touches on the abuse of sex and sexuality andthe waysthatmen and women disrespectone another. It shows thatmen are scum and sex can be usedas a tool to hurt people. Each character is perverse in his/her own way just as many of us have our own personal vices.

Berretone:Main issue-getto know someonebeforeyou go to bed with them. Relationshipscannot be based on physical and sexual attractionalone. The characters demonstrate how persuasive friendships can be. It explores the negative aspects of not thinking for yourself and simply relying on your friends to make decisionsfor you.

Lipar:The play demonstrateshow societyhas shapedhow we view one another. We let society mold us and we often acceptthe stereotypesabout the opposite sexes.

SCENEVI: The M~e Killen:Women and men inteipretsex entirelydifferently.For women, sex constitutesthe beginning of a relationship. Men, on the other hand view sex as an end in itself. It is importantthat each sex take the other's viewpoint into consideration before getting involved.

Ranieri: The characters are sad and perverse. We have the optiontoeitherbecomejustlikethemorbreakawayandcreateour own lives with healthy relationships. Love does not conquer all and relationships take work. If you are not committed to work through the obstacles, then you will never have a successful relationship.

Berretone:The play is a tragedy.Here's this very impressionable guy (Danny) hanging around with this creep Bernie and just when you think there is hope for him, he backs out and becomes a creep himself. Above all, follow your own gut feelings. If your friendsare keepingyou from who you reallywant to be then forget aboutthem because when you think about it,you don't need them.

Lipar: Both sexes need to be more willing to listen and be sensitivetowards one another. We need to try to understandthe other viewpoint.

SCENEVII: Identification Killen: I do not identify at all with my character, Danny. I would like to think that I have more backbone than this guy and I definitely possess a lot more respect for women!

Ranieri:Well, although I am not a lesbian,Joan and I have a lot in common. I am very protectiveof my friendsand I often give unwanted advice. Most of all, I also think that men are scum!

Berretone: I've known a lot of Bemies in my lifetime. I

up becoming Bernie by the end of the play. His relationshipwith Deb scares him so he bails out and latches onto Bernie and his pervertedideasaboutwomen.His worshippingof Bernieruinshim.

Ranieri:Joan's strengthconsistsof the fact that she sincerely cares about her friends. She is not afraidof her feelingsand is very outspoken. On the other hand, Joan cripples herself with her insecurity.The notionof being alone scaresJoan to death and that is why she ends up being so mean to Deb when Deb's new romantic relationship threatens their friendship. Her anger towards men causes her to become bitter and cynical.

Berretone:Despite everything,Bernie is a really funny guy.

He is weak because he believes that profanity and crudeness makes him recognizableand important. Even deeper than that, his molestation as a child is having serious repercussions on his adult life. His overal! disposition towards women is nothing to be modeled.

Lipar: Deb has a tremendous amountof insight and wisdom.

She listens to her heart and is not influem::tdby society or her friends. Her biggestand most detrimentalfaultconsistsof the fact that she reliestoo much on her ideals,about the way things"should be."

SCENElX: LearningExperiences Killen: You have got to be honest with and true to yourself.

There are way too many spineless"Danny's" in this world and the only way to avoidbecomingone is to stand up for whatyou believe in.

Ranieri: People can really hurt each other with words. You haveto be carefulaboutwhatyou-say.

Berretone: There are not guarantees. Relationships will always have problems. Both genders possess misconceptions about the opposite sex. All too often, those stereotypesare true.

Lipar: Failing to talk about certain issues makes them seem unnaturaland dirty. When you look at it those issues that are the least spoken about, such as sex, are those that we have the hardest time dealing with. We need to recognize and deal with difficult issues and not hide them.

SCENEX: ParentalReactions Killen: My mom is a psychologistso she, of course, thought that this was a great idea I gave her the play to read because I wanted her opinion. She had no problem with it because she knows me and she knows that I am not Danny.

Ranieri:I did not even tell my parentsthe pelformancedates.

I absolutelydidnot wantthem to seeme inthis role. My dad called the school and found out the show times. When 1went out in the audience after Friday night's pelformance, there he was. I was mortified and scared to death of his reaction. He came up to me and congratulatedme. My mom's coming this week. She's a little nervous about what she will see!

Berretone:My parentsdo not even know that I am in this play or that the play is even running at the college. She is a devout Catholicandverysetinherways. Shewouldneverunderstandand it's just not worth the aggravation. I'm not ashamedof my part in the play. This is a play for our generation. People in my mom's age group just wouldn't "get it."

Lipar: My mom is very conservative but she supported me from the start. She new the content of the play and she trusted my judgement to make a mature decision concerning my place in it.

SCENEXI: Rewards Killen:It was a definite learningexperience. It taught me a lot about relationships and how people interact with one another.I enjoyed being part of something that was a definite service to the community.

Ranieri:This play helped build my confidence. There were only four of us so the focus was always on you. You had no one to hide behind. I learned to take criticism. The way to learn and change is through someone telling you that what you are doing is wrong.

Berretone:The biggestreward consists of the fact that it was actually well receivedacross campus. People opened their minds and gave it a chance.

Lipar:Wewereput up againstthe walland we pulled through.

We did this playjustice I am really proud of our work. People are examining themselves and their actions after seeing our performances.

more hunger from 1 for each person who participates. This amount is up from last year, Sweger said.

According to Sweger half the money raised is sent to a national fund for hunger and homelessness and half is used internationally. Last year over $630 was raised through world fast day alone. There was nearly l00 percent participation among residents, Sweger said.

"Everybody deserves to have food," Sweger said. "Why should I have more than you? It does go beyond food, though, since we're focusing on homelessness this year."

There are two other events scheduled for Nov. 19. A presentation called "Faces of the Homeless," held in the lecture hall, will feature victims of

homelessness sharing their experiences. The second is an explanation of the "Interfaith hospitality network." 'fh:ough this program studentsmay have the opportunityto serve dinner and read to homeless children.

On Friday a Third World Craft Fair in the gathering area is being sponsored by the Central Baptist Church in Wayne. Items from the Crafts of Freedom Shop will be available and all monies raised will go directly to the third world countries in which the gifts were made.

According to senior Ivan Domazet, Respect Life, a part of campus ministry, is sponsoring the program Thanks-4giving. Non-perishable foods will be collected along with money to be used for purchasing Thanksgiving turkeys.

"Feeding people is part of Re!>pecting Life," Domazet said. "We're con-

cerned about the elderly, the poor, the homeless and the unborn. It's not just about the unborn. That brings a negative aspect to the group."

'Feeding people is part of Respecting Life.'

- Senior Ivan Domazet Generally students do not give much food to this program, Domazet said. Last year the people of the offices and the Mansion were the most enthusiastic, according to Domazet, and while there normally is a good turnout in the houses, Xavier traditionally is the worst.

"It's not the building, it's just that every freshmen class doesn't care," Domazet said.

First-year student Karen Szczurek said that she is participating in the coffee house Jetter-writing in addition to helping collect food in Xavier. Szczurek decided to work with hunger and homeless awareness week because she was involved in the community service corps during high school. Szczurek said Cabrini is offering a good program that students should support.

"How many people don't have anything for Thanksgiving and Christmas?"

Szczurek said. "We should be aware of hunger and homelessness all year round.

Events like these remind you of your neighbor. I think it would be really scary if you woke up on Thanksgivingand yourfamily was eating rice or you had a branch for a Christmas tree."

'Sexual Perversity' stirs diverse reactions His perspective:

Her perspective:

by KeilliAlua$

by Rosanne Carfagno

"Sexual Perversity In Chicago" opened to a sold-out crowd on Thursday, Nov. 7.

The 70-minute play captivated the audience by letting them share in the intimate situations and conversations of four people.

The cast consisted of four characters, Bernfo, Dan, Debbie and Joan played by Tom Berretone, Brian Killen, Lisa Lipar and Stephanie Ranieri, respectively.

The actors enabled the audience to get involved by their strong characterizations and interaction with each other.

David Mamet, the playwright, unfortunately made the women's characters weak with no backbone. Although Lipar and Ranieri portray the characters well, the writing is not true to life.

Joan's extreme hate and disdain towards men is never explored or explained and leaves the audience wondering why she is angry. Debbie also suffers from some inconsistencies about her feelings towards men and her willingness to give in so easily.

I

!Audience. persp8Ctive: The following responses are from members of the audience who attended the performances on Nov. 7 and 8.

JenniferTeichman, senior ,expanded on the relationshipconflictof theplay by saying, "It'samazingthatwe everhookupinthefirst place."

Nate Carter, thought the play reflected how many people start out relationships backwards. "They went about the relationship the wrong way. They slept with each other before they got to know each other and they fought a lot because they didn't know each other out of bed," Carter said.

Patti Zeller, junior, said she had a problem withDavidMarnet's style. "Some of theprofanitycould have been alleviated.

You have to sort throughall the obscenities to see the point" "It's scary that so many people believe that this play relates direct! y to their lives," Susan Carroll, senior.

"I think it painted a realistic picture of how some men, not all, treat women," Jerry Schaefer, junior, said. ''The play was stunning," Dr. Marilyn Johnsoo,Fnglishprofessor,said"Partsofthe play werebeautiful.I almostwantto say that the play was beautifulbut that'shardbecause there'sso much uglinessin it

Debbie (Lisa Llpar) is comforted by her friend Joan (Stephanie Ranieri) after she and her boyfriend, Dan have a volatile argument that seriously affects their relationship.

Li par's characterization of Debbie is consistent in the way she deals with all of the people in her life and the way she deals with things. She conveys Debbie's feelings with depth and insight.

The men, on the other hand, are clearly defined and actually a lot of fun to watch.

They really capture the language and opinions of men in relationships.

Berretone was brilliant in his portrayal of Bernie as an out spoken, opinionated, man-around-town friend who always knows more than you do.

Killen captured the quite gullible, naive feeling of Danny with ease. You felt his uneasiness when it came to expressing his feelings and his confusion about what was really important to him.

The characters in the play were not comfortable talking about sex but they were uncomfortable talking about their feelings. They can share an intimatephysicalexperience but cannot share their real "selves." In that way, the play's message exhibits the change that is needed in relationships; people should be comfortable with each other before becoming intimate.

that had characters in their age group who were experiencing similar problems.

However, there has been much controversy over the language and content of Mamet's work.

"The problems with 'Sexual Perversity in Chicago' came about when people only read one or two pages of the play," Newman said. "When people took the time to read the entire work of Mamet they saw the importance of the play and supported it."

"The idea of doing the same thing all the time is not what theater is all about, Newman said. "For example, next spring we are doing a play about a women's college in Poland during the Nazi invasion."

Robert M. Gillin. He had everything. A Georgetown education, a huge supportive family, his own business - and AIDS. Gillin was 28 years old when he tested positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Soon after, the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome had appeared in his system.

Martie Gillin, Gillen's mother spoke with great candor about her son's fight and her amazement at the cavalier attitude of young people towards the spread of AIDS. "People will read about it but until itaffects you personally you don't pay any attention to it," his mother said.

She had done research at the AIDS library in Philadelphia and volunteered as an AIDS buddy to help care for others infected with the disease, but when she actually saw her son in that position, she said it was horrible for her.

Gillin said she feels that many people do not get tested because they do not feel sick, and they do not feel like it can happen to them. "I want to scream from the rooftops for people to be careful," Gillin said.

"Everyone thinks that it can't happen to them. It's like a woman getting pregnant, or someone getting cancer. You always think it will be the person down the street but not you," Gillin said.

Robert Gillin was the kind of person you wanted to be friends with. He was a smart, fun-loving person. He was the president of his high school class his junior and senior years and was on the Dean's List at Georgetown University.

His homosexuality was never an issue when it came to his making friends because people saw him for what he was, not for his sexual preference.

"God made all of us what we are.

Bob had different feelings about things than other people did. I am

sad because he was a wonderful young man who died," his uncle, Paul Flanigan, said.

The Gillin 's are a large family with nine children. The children were all raised Catholic and believed that love and your family are the most important things to have in your life.

Gillin 's mother said that Robert reacted to his diagnosis as anyone would, with anger.

"It is like receiving a death sentence," she said. "How would you feel if you knew you had disease for which there was no cure and there was nothing you or anybody else could do abouTit'\" Gillin asked.

Gillin is concerned that people still do not realize that AIDS is not just a homosexual disease. She was also concerned that people would hate homosexuals more because they hold them responsible for transmitting the disease to everyone else, w~ich is not true.

AIDS is transmitted through sexual intercourse, blood transfusions with infected blood and intravenous needle sharing. You can not transmit AIDS by hugging, touching or talking to someone infected with the disease.

The symptoms of AIDS include night sweats, weight loss, chronic diarrhea, fever, fatigue, swollen lymph glands and memory loss and eventually leads to lesions, sores and pneumonia.

Many of Robert's friends have also been infected by the disease.

She said that his friends would stop by the house to see him but stopped coming because it was to painful for them to see him in that condition. "They knew that eventually they would all be in the same position some day and couldn't bring themselves to look at him like that," Gillin said.

The one bright note during Gillin 's ordeal was the support and love from their family and friends.

"I was shocked at how wonderful people were towards us," Gillin said. She said that some of the doctors and nurses were a little homophobic at first but that they soon overcame their feelings and felt bad for him because he was dying not just because he had AIDS. Robert had his 30th birthday party in late August. His immediate family as well as his close friends were there.

He also invited many friends whom he had not seen in some time. It was his last birthday. Robert died on Oct. 27, 1992 in his home, surrounded by his family and friends.

"Did you know that the person sitting next to you could be HIV positive. Did you know that the person you are thinking about sleeping with could be HIV positive.

And they don't even know it. Think about it," Gillin said.

,t sexuality AIDS findsits way on campus; unprotectedsex can killyou

by Katherine Ross features editor

The air in the room was stilland the mood was serious. In XavierHall's Great Room on Nov. 9 they gathered to talk about AIDS and what it means to be HlV positive.

Richard, who hasfull-blownAIDS, cameto · sharehis experiencewith the disease.

"You thinkbecause you are young that you are invincible,well guess what you aren't, AIDS canhappen to you," Richardsaid RichardtestedHlV positivein 1989. ''I originallywent to get tested, not becauseI was sick, but because of the reality of my situation,"Richard said Richard is gay. "About three to four weeks afterI was testedI foundout that I was HlV positive."

Accordingto Richardhe immediatelywent to his doctor who referredhim to a specialist He contractedpneumoniaonemonthafterbeing diagnosed and was in the hospital for the next four weeks. After that, though, he was healthyfor a year.

"It was scary.I had to take four pills every fourhours,"Richardsaid "But all I thoughtwas thatI haveto do this if I want to save my life."

"This diseaseis not good when it getsdown to the end I have thisjoke that this is my fourthlast Ouistmas," Richardsaid "It is so hard for people to talk about AIDS but people need to and that is why I'm here."

VirginiaRodes from St. Gabriel's home for boys in Audubon, led the discus.sionon the preventionof AIDS and HlV. Rodes a very lively woman broke the tensionin the room by getting the audienceto participate in a question and answer session. Rodes got those in attendanceto participateby answeringquestionsabout sex and what they already knew about AIDS and prevention.

Accordingto Rodes it is importantthatwe are informedof the ways we can contractthevirus.

"There is sexual intercourse,oral sex, anal sex, and finger sex," Rodes said.

"You can become infectedthrough all of these modesof transmission."

Rodes statedthatthere are many misconceptionsaboutAIDS, HlV, and how it can be transmitted. Rodes went through several myths of the disease. The most important one being that men thinkthey are less likely to become infected then women.

"The erect penis," Rodessaid, "has natural tears and abrasionson it that the infection can pass through."

In talkingaboutpreventionRodes said that as long as a condomis usedproperly the virus is less likely to be transmitted from one partnerto the other.

At this point Rodes asked for two students from the audience to volunteer to demonstrate how to properly put on a condom.

FIJ'St-year student KristinBlanck, and seniorChristopherMonaco,camefoiward· to show the group.

Rodeshadthetwo roleplay as a couple who was discussing whether to use a condomornot. Afternegotiating,asRodes called it, the couple decided to use the condom. They then demoostra.Wd putting the condom on and the properwayto take it off.

Rodes also talked about the Catholic Chwches beliefs of abstinencebut questioned how realisticthatwas.

"Wrapping up the session, I want to talk aboutkeepingpeoplealive,and keeping ourselves healthy and safe," Rodes said ''Thebest measureis to get tested" Accordingto Robes it is better to know your HlV status then to sit around and worry about it"

A familar site on South Street, Condom Nation employees pass out 10% coupons for anything in the store.

Exploringthe options;condoms for protectionor profit

by Paul Crowell

staff writer

Condom Nation, Condom Kingdom, and Condom World Take a stroll down South Streetand it would be hard to miss them. Call it capitalismmeets socialresponsibility,but these three stores are proving that the safe-sex revolutioncan be profitable. If sex sells, so must safe sex.

Just a coupleof yearsago noneof these stores existed. According to Michael Maisch of CondomNation,when his storefirst opened for business a year ago it was only the second store of its kind in the nation. (Itwasbeattothepunch by a store in New York) If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Condom Nationhas been so honoredtwice with the additionsof CondomKingdomand Condom World. The later being the latestto throw its hat in the ring, opening two weeks ago.

But it does not end there. David Cohen, ownerofCondom World, says that the opening of his the store marks the beginningof the first condom franchise. There is already a store in Boston.

Maischsaidthathis store is less intimidating then that awkward trip to the drug store.

Therefore, people feel more comfortable about asking blunt and frank questions. He said that the store and its employees strive to provide customers with accurate information concerning the use of condoms and AIDS. "I think the time hascome for a store like this," said Maisch.

Stuart Schlaffman of Condom Kingdom said that the personnel of his store are more knowledgeable than those behind the counter of the local drug store. He said that employees are trained and educated. In addition, the store brings speakers in to talk with employees.

While each store's shelves are stocked with every variety of condoms imaginable, each store also boasts an array of novelty items that would causeeven the most self-assuredbrowser

to blush. Those with a risque sense of humor may appreciate what they have to offer.

Michelle Sikora of Condom World said that the novelty items help to alleviate apprehensions and serve to create a freer atmosphere that makes the experience less embarrassing.

But the three shopkeepers say that behind the veneer of gag gifts and outrageous novelties they accept the social responsibility that accompanies a store of this nature very seriously. All three stores provide pamphlets and other literature concerning the safe use of condoms and the dangers of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Cohen said that he plans to give away free condoms to colleges and sponsor free AIDS awareness lectures just as the Condom World store in Boston has done in the past.

Junior Wendy Crossley, however, said that she does not believe the hype about social responsibility which, she says takes a back seat when it comes to the almighty buck. She said that she did not see anything wrong with the store itself though.

Maisch says that promoting social responsibility is good for business. And in turn, good business promotes social responsibility. He added that business has been brisk.

Junior Monique Fabbro said that the mere existence of such stores is positive because it promotes safe sex.

"There are too many morally outraged people in the world," says junior Lisa De Marco, assessing the controversy surrounding such stores. She said that society needs a store like this and that South Street is the perfect location. Both Fabbro and De Marco said that they would prefer purchasing condoms at one of the stores on South Street rather than at a drug store.

College spirit displayed through day of events

By Kelly McDonald

staff writer How do you capture school spirit on a college level? Cabrini Spirit Day did a successful job of obtaining this college-level spirit through the various activities and workshops that took place on Nov .10, according to Dr. Jerome Zurek, chair of the English communications department..

Junior Kayce Pottichen said, "I feel Cabrini Spirit Day was a great way to bring the campus community together. Administration accomplished their goal of getting everyone involved."

First-year student Dave Millilo said he felt SpiritDay was well organizedand dealt with very professionally. Millilo said, "I would like to see studentsmoreenthusedabouttheirschool.School spirit is important because it brings the entire Cabrini community together."

The morning began with a continental breakfast in the resident halls and the gathering room for commuters. The faculty that attended had the opportunity to socialize with students and other faculty members on a lighter, different level then the everyday basis.

Students and faculty were given a chance to get in touch with the more spiritual aspects of the day through mass , which was held in the chapel after breakfast. Mother Cabrini was portrayed through a monologue on a video presentation which gave people a true feeling of her presence within the college community.

Pamela Rainey Lawler, the Keynote Speaker, was presented with the Cabrini Spirit Award. She received this award because of her efforts in feeding the hungry through Philabundance, a organization she founded.

By doing this, she reflects the values of Mother Cabrini, by giving of herself for the needs of other people.

The Living with AIDS workshop, which

was presented by 1992 alumnus Kevin to people about the problem of homelessness Koknar, director of the South Jersey AIDS in the United States today and by showing task Force, drew a large audience. Koknar slides of homeless people he will send them addressed the problem of AIDS in a realistic away with the idea that people that are on the manner that the students could relate to. streets are ordinary people. Sorrentino also First-year student Katina Corrao said she stressed that some homeless people work attended this workshop because AIDS is full time or are people who are unemployed such a serious topic that effects so many because the places where they worked closed people. Corroa said, "I felt Kevin Koknar down. "I hope people will be interested was very honest about the AIDS issue and enough in what is going on to learn more didn't just focus on how to prevent it. He about it themselves and perhaps volunteer was very hopeful and put emphasis on how in shelters and soup kitchens,'' Sorrentino people with AIDS are still human beings." said.

Koknar said he was happy to be a part of First-year student, Anne Waldspurger Spirit Day because he wanted to help the attended the homeless workshop. She said, college that taught him so well. He also said "Homelessness is an issue that we all need to that he liked talking to older youth because face.

Senior Mike Callinan said, "The workshop was good because people need to learn and see how TV shapes, changes, and influences people and their everyday lives."

Pam Hanway spoke to students about the Head Start program. This program gives students information on how to help students pay off their college loans by teaching kids.

Schools'closingbecomesa communityconcern

photo by LorraineMarie Lill

Bishop Kenrick student shakes Cardinal Bevilacqua's hand after delivering his speech to save Kenrick from closing. In his speech he emphasized that he was a Protestant who valued the closeness of the people at Kenrick.

Every addressed the cardinal, members of · the church, students, teachers and parents at a meeting held at Visitation Parish in Trooper, in an effort to save Bishop Kenrick High School and Archbishop Kennedy High School from being closed.

0 The report to close the schools Last month Bevilacqua targeted six schools for closure.

After reviewing a financial proposal provided by the consulting firm of Coopers and Lybrand, Bevilacqua named Archbishop Kennedy High School, West Catholic High School, Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls, St. James High School, and Bishop Kenrick High School as schools threatened to be closed.

Two other high schools reccomended for merger were St. Maria Goretti High School, an all-girls school, with St. John Newmann a boys school and Bishop Conwell, a girls school, with Bishop Egan, an all boys school.

According to the report provided by Coopers and Lybrand, which was a nine month study analyzing the 25 high schools in the five-county archdiocese, the schools now enroll 24,370 students. By 1999 enrollment will plummet to 17,200. The schools' debt will increase from $10.4 million to $86.4 million unless major changes are made, the Coopers and Lybrand repon stated.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Catholic school system has run up a $3 million deficit this year.

0 The church as a family "I came from an Italian family," Bevilacqua said. "Only my two youngest sisters were able to go to Catholic school.

My family could not afford the small fees.

"I empathize with these parents," Bevilacqua said referring to the parents seated before him. "I understand what it is like. Our hearts want them to stay open (the schools), but our minds tell us we don't have the need."

The idea of family was prominent at Visitation Parish that night. A Catholic education has been a family tradition and value for many.

Nancy Koller sat in one of the front pews of the church. Koller is a mother of six children. Her daughter graduated from Kennedy. One of her sons is a junior at

"This was the most fun. You'd be writing your senior essay and he'd come in and squirt you in the face with a water pistol."

St. James is located in the center of a community of cute little row homes. A little farther are mansions with slate roofs where industrialists used to live. It is a well patrolled area and a well taken care of community.

According to Pesotski, the students of St. James get a decent education and get out of Chester.

However, Pesotski said, "Then they come back to the community. They don't go off and become vice president of the Honeywell corporation. They are the small business owners of the community, the doctors and the lawyers."

Pesotski kept saying, "St. James provides

Kennedy and four more are planning to go to Kennedy.

Koller has been an active member of the church. She dedicated herself to teaching CCD classes, coaching for CYO sports and she is has been the president of CYO for seven years.

Koller explained that the church is a family. When a family has a problem they try to solve it with internal forces first. If they cannot be solved by the members involved, then, and only then, is an outsider called in.

Koller said the families were not given the opportunity to solve the problem.

"Coopers and Lybrand underestimated the people that are the church," Koller said.

"We should be given the choice, not a marketing firm."

0 Gospel or the bottom line The Catholic school system was established to take care of poor immigrant Catholics in a society that was very hostile.

According to Dr. Margaret Reher the reason the system worked was because sisters were available to fill the need for teachers, without salaries.

Reher said there are so few vocations to religious communities that now lay people have taken up the burden. However, this leads to a financial crunch because lay people need salaries whereas women religious did not.

"There is a conflict. Is it the bottom line or the values of the gospel?" Reher asked.

Reher cited a passage from Isaiah in the Bible. She said the Gospel says to preach to the poor, the broken hearted and the down trodden. "The people who staff the schools in the inner-city are trying to be the gospel presence in the midst of chaos."

hope for the community."

"Three hundred yards across 1-95 is a totally different place where hope does not live." Pesotski was describing the other part of Chester.

"Now you are in heaven. We love you Little Bob 4-92" This tribute to a dead gang member was scrawled on a wall ofa person's pink, box-like home.

Rows of houses were boarded up with wooden planks. Some houses that were not boarded up were totally gutted. The front door was an open entrance to a pit of garbage, fallen down cinder blocks, aluminum cans and boxes.

Window panes were shattered in houses where people lived, allowing for the cold winter air to blow in and providing an invitation for any stranger seeking shelter or desiring something else.

Five men sat around a fire burning in a kettle drum, as they suys~d to keep warm.

They sat on old dilapidated couches and chairs arranged in a way one may see furniture arranged in a living room. This was not a living room though. This was their home.

This part of Chester used to be a bustling industrial community. Penn Shipbuilding was located here. So was Sunship. People were provided with places to work.

Now the only sign of industry is the white smoke coming from the Scott paper plant and the drugs being sold in an alleyway.

Pesotski said industry abandoned Chester, the government abandoned it and the Catholic church is proposing to abandon it.

"Churches are the hope," Pesotski said, "If you pull out the hope you end up with nothing.

"When you take hope away you get all this," Pesotski replied as he looked around sadly at the falling down houses, the people collecting aluminum for money, and the men standing around outside one of the little holein-the-wall bars at 10 a.m.

Pesotski said "If you are going pull out of an area that St. James keeps alive there won't be much left."

Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua asks for people to pray for their schools.

0 Hope keeps a community alive Chris Pesotski, Cabrini graduate and active member of the St. James alumni board, walked around St. James High School with pride. Signs with big bold letters screamed Save Our Schools--St. James will live forever. He pointed to a glass case with plaques honoring St. James graduates. "These are the people we want our kids to look up to," Pesotski said.

Pesotski entered a classroom and began remembering his days at St. James. "This is Mr. Buckley's classroom," Pesotski said.

Lady Cavs optimisticfor next season

by Steve May

staff writer The Lady Cavs started off the season with high hopes for the year, those hopes were never quite fulfilled. The field hockey team finished the season with a 3-12-1 record. They also ended up 2-2 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference but did not qualify for the play-offs.

According to sophomore Kristyn Rudnick, their record does not show how much the team improved since last year.

"Last year we lost to a lot of teams by 8-0," Rudnick said.

"But this year the losses were closer, like 2-0. We have improved so much since last year."

Coach Joanni Quinn thought that this year was going to be better than last. Her first year was a year of rebuilding of the team where as this year was a

season of developing, Quinn said.

Rudnick said that at the beginning of the season she was excited, but leery.

"The season was really bad last year," Rudnick said. "I didn't know what to expect."

Other players echoed Rudnick's uncertain overview of season.

"I had no idea how this year would go or what to expect," senior Michele Montgomery said. "I didn't know we'd have as good a season as we did."

Looking back on the year, sophomore Sherri Roam said that it was a frustrating season.

Quinn expected at the beginning to be 500 in PAC, which they turned out to be.

"We lost a lot of games we should have won," Roam said.

"Our record makes us look worse than we were."

Tammy Pfeiffenberger, sophomore, said the team met all of ·their expectations for the year.

"Our record should have been better," first-year student Gina Panasik said. "We had a lot of bad luck and were unable to put the ball in the net when we wanted to."

Montgomery said that the season was a lot more than she expected.

When asked about the team's improvement, junior Kerri Brambilla said that it is amazing how much everyone has improved.

"Everybody stepped up a level, or two," Roam said.

Costigan said that they improved very much from September '91 to September '92.

Pfeiffenberger said that although last year they lost to Alvernia 8-0, this year the loss

was only 2-0.

"I would love to play the game against Rosemont over again," Quinn said.

Quinn thought if the team had given just a little extra effort, they could have won.

That win would have put them into PAC's.

Roam thought that the most i!Jlportant game was Parent's Weekend against Cedar Crest.

"Although we lost to Bryn Mawr, we played a great game," Montgomery said. "We were blown away last year, but this year it was really close."

Brambilla said that the whole season had been a high point. But she thought that the Eastern game was the team's low point of the season.

"Eastern was the worst," Pfeiffenberger said. "We didn't look like we wanted to play. Joanni told us never to forget that game."

(

Quinn said that Brambilla and Rudnick had excellent seasons.

Brambilla had 108 saves and 37 goals against and Rudnick was dependable and consistent.

Quinn said that her goals for next year are a larger team, a stronger team, and a more in-shape team.

She looks for the team to be one or two PAC next year.

"The girls have just had a taste of winning and know what it's like," Quinn said.

"I wish I had another year to work on the things that I lack," Costigan said. "I'm going to miss the game so much. I'll be back to watch the team next year."

Finally, Quinn said that if she wanted one thing it would be for the team to have more confidence in themselves and the team. "I know they can win because I can believe in them so much," Quinn said.

staff writer Question: Which sports team won Cabrini its first Pennsylvania Athletic Conference championship?

Answer: The cross-country team.

Shocked? Well, both the men and women representing Cabrini brought home the PAC championship last weekend at Cedar Crest College. The women defeated four other schools, out-pointing host Cedar Crest by a narrow margin.

Senior Denise Tucker, first-year student Heather Teti, and sophomore Tammi Pfeiffenberger achieved All-PAC accolades by finishing in the top seven.

Pfeiffenberger, who placed seventh, started running cross-country

last year.

"We didn't know that we had won until they announced it," Pfeiffenbergersaid. "A lot of people don'tknowhowtoughasportcrosscountry is. It is a lot of work, I am completely satisfied."

Tucker has been running for three years, and had medaled in previous meets. She placed second in the championships, qualifying for the regional meet in the process.

Teti had run on and off this year because she was concentrating on her studies. She placed sixth in the meet on Saturday.

Coach Tom O' Hora has struggled in the past to field enough runners to qualify for a meet. After the women's championship, his dedication to the sport has shown through. O'Horasaid, "lam happy for the runners. They are all selfmotivated. Cross-country runners don't run for glory; they run for self-satisfaction."

O'Hora said that his runners proved their dedication to the sport by running hurt on Saturday. According to O'Hora, sophomore ___J

Melanie Bruno and senior Veronica O'Hora both ran despite injuries.

"We ran our best," Coach O'Hora said. "I hope the program becomes more well-known as a result of our victory."

Not only did the women run to victory-on Saturday, but the men did as well. Behind the efforts of sophomore Doug Eppler and firstyear student Larry Foster, both of whom achieved all-conference awards, the men brought home the championship as well. Eppler finished fourth in the meet while Foster placed fifth.

According to Eppler, the victory was a total irony. The team had struggled to qualify in previous events because of a lack of runners.

They had enough on Saturday to bring home the title.

Eppler said, "This meet was not just an individual meet. It meant the most to the team. because it gave us a chance to represent the school, and put it above other colleges."

The team defeated Beaver College and Alvemia College to win the championship. A previous meet was instrumental in their victory, according to Eppler.

"I knew that winning was a possibility because I had beaten all of Beaver's runners in the Cabrini Invitational. Larry and I had confidence going into the race because we had done well against them in the past," Eppler said.

Coach O'Hora added that the men had problems this year. A few runners could not run because of financial problems, according to O'Hora. He hopes that this victory will be a stepping-stone for the future.

Eppler added, "Cross-country is a gentleman's sport. You like to see everybody do their best. It makes you feel incredible to win the championship.

We have the potential for an incredible program!"

parents about the current medical knowledge regarding HIV/ AIDS and athletics participation."

This leaves the decision of what to do up to the individual colleges and universities.

"Hypothetically, what we would do in this situation would be to first be sympathetic to the plight of the individual contracting a fatal disease, check to see what we could ~o for them. " said Athletic Director John Dzik.

Cabrinj does have an AIDS policy but there are no specifics for athletics.

Mandatory testing is not in effect, therefore no one is required to come forward and admit they are in fact HIV positive.

No one admitting they have HIV or full blown AIDS can be kept from athletic participation. The issue then becomes a personal one. They must take into consideration their teammates health and their own.

"If the person wanted to continue to play then teammates would have to be dealt with, and liability.

I would get together with President Iadarola and the senior staff and come up with some kind of institutional policy. Then convene the team and look at the situation," Dzik said.

According to Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Robert Bonfiglio the situation would be handled on a case by case basis, if they are physically able to

carry on.

In an attempt to reduce the risks of contracting disease through sports contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently developed standards by "requiring personal protective clothing and equipment, vaccinations and other provisions."

In a survey compiled by the NCAA sports news 33 of the responding schools reported that they had a policy regarding HIV positive student athletes. That is only six percent of schools in the survey. Of that six percent only nine had a formal written policy and only two banned HIV positive student-athletes from participation.

The other seven only restricted participation in specific sports.

"In my opinion it would be best for them not to play," Dzik said.

"The possibility of contracting AIDS is said to be remote. However, cuts are not remote in a physical contact sport."

While testing is not required now, it is not an issue that is far off in the distance.

Just over the course of the summer months the NCAA was forced to r.estructure the pages for AIDS in the medical journal.

"It is a lose-lose situation, nobody wins in this sfttiation," Dzik said.

athlete of the week

Tuckingaway the PAC championship

by Corrinne A. Egan staff wruer "She's one of those people that makes the world happen.•· That's the way Coach Tom O'Hora of Cabrini's cross country team described Denise Tucker, this week's athlete of the week. Tucker, transferred to Cabrini from St. Joseph's University in 1990, will be graduating this December. She is an elementary education major and is currently student teaching in third grade at St. Bernadette's in Drexel Hill.

When Tucker was asked if it was difficult to balance school with a sport that requires so much practice and personal training, Tucker said, "Sometimes it's difficult, but as long as you keep your priorities in order and are disciplined, it all works out."

O'Hora made a point of stating what a smart young woman Tucker is and said, "Whatever it takes to be successful Denise will do it. Whether it be athletically or academically, Denise will go places."

Tucker began running in high school through the influence of her older brother, who also ran for Cabrini. She came from one of the best high school teams in the country, Cardinal O'Hara.

When she first started running for Cabrini's track and cross country team, she suffered a little bit from lack of selfconfidence. Understandably so, Tucker ran for four years for a big high school where many of her teammates received cross country and track scholarships.

O'Hora said Tucker has overcome this fear, since she is now second in the entire league. Tucker would be the last one to admit to her accomplishments but says that if she has learned anything it is that cross country is a sport which requires grim determination. With practice, it all pays off in the end, she said.

What makes Tucker a unique runner

She has paid the price of pain with numerable shin splints, knee injuries and is stitl trying with therapy to beat a back problem.

According to O 'Hora, he has not come across many athletes in his career who would keep fighting like Tucker has.

Most runners get pushed so far and give up. Tucker is an exception to the rule, O'Hora said.

Tucker attributes her success to Coach O'Hora. She's improved her time by four minutes since she's been here and O'Hora says he wishes her high school coach could see her now. He would no doubt be impressed.

The cross country team consists of four full-time members but in most meets they have six participants. The season runs from September until mid- November.

The team practices twice a week together along with Coach O'Hora and the rest is up to them. Just recently Q'Hora has implemented a weight lifting pro-

gram into their training. He says he never has to ask Tucker if she has done her lifting because he knows her answer will always be yes.

Tucker's last race of her college career will be this Saturday, Nov. 14.

"I'd like to place for the entire team, I'm looking for the entire team to win," Tucker said.

After graduation, Tucker says she cannot see herself just stopping something she loves so much. She would like to continue running for a local team in her area, and ultimately wants to teach grade school and coach the track team at that school. She sees this as a perfect opportunity to stay in competition.

Doug Eppler, teammate of Tucker's summed it all up, " Denise is one of the most dedicated members of the team.

She's spent her last semester here knocking down every door to get runners for us next year and she won't even be here."
