Class will teach students how to publish children's books bySteve May staff writer lf you ask any education or fine arts major what his or her biggest dream is, a likely response might be to write or illustrate a children's book. Hundreds of people each year submit manuscripts forchildren 's books to publishing houses. Yet most have no background with which to work and have no idea how to get started in the field.

Therefore, a majority of the books never make it past the publishers' "slush pile."

Cassandre Maxwell, lecturer of the fine arts department, is offering a course next semester to help students avoid the "slush pile," or pile of non-published work. It is called The Children's Book from A to Z. The course will begin by helping students get in touch with the child within, Maxwell said. It will then move to analyzing children's books for content and design. Finally, the course will focus on learning the market of children's books and be a support system to the students when they are planning to publish a book. The

course will appeal to many different majors Maxwell said.

When asked who sparkedthe idea to create this course, Maxwell said that senior Matt Macsisakdid.Shesaidshehadnotthoughtofthe idea until Macsisakhad mentionedit.

The class will have two major speakers next semester. The first is Barbara Robinson, author of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." which has won an Emmy for its television rendition. The second speaker is Eileen Spinelli, wife of Newberry Awardwinning author Jerry Spinelli, and a writer in her own right.

Maxwell is a writer and illustrator of children's books herself. She has recently completed her sixth book, due in the spring, called "Y osef' s Gift of Many Colors." Some of her books were nominated for awards in design and one for Best Gift Book.

Maxwell said that she has two goals for this course. One is to see some of her students succeed with their books. The other is to have fun. "Doing children's books is my first love," Maxwell said, "but my students are a close second."

Lecturer of the fine arts department Cassandre Maxwell gives senior Mary Kate Fannon and first-year student Francis Kelly some advice to enhance their drawings. Maxwell said she is looking forward to the class on publishing children's books because it will allow for the students to receive more individual attention.

To the editor: A further word on Michael Homer's presentation. Of the 32 students who attended the lecture, 31 filled out comment cards at the end. Typical of the responses were: "This is the best talk I've ever heard." ''I needed to hear this." "I thought the talk was very informative." "This was information I never thought about before." "This was fabulous." "I wasn't going to come but I'm glad I did."

Mr. Horner showed care and compassion by sharing from his heart as well as presenting facts and figures. This was evidenced by his honest telling of some of his life story and by encouraging questions, comments, letters as well as providing excellent follow-up materials including articles and free books.

I wonder how many other speakers on a controversial subject are willing to be so vulnerable and open with their audiences?

As little children we were all taught not to touch a hot stove or we would get burned.

Some ofus learned by listening to someone who loved us. Some of us touched it anyway with varying degrees of consequence. Who we choose to listen to on another hot topic is crucial and the stakes are higher than burnt fingers. Wouldn't we be wise to at least consider the advise?

Sincerely, Cassandre Maxwell

In a recent article about the "Safe Sex and the Searchforlntimacy''programl wasquotedoutof context and I feel that I should make sense of my after-thoughtson Michael Homer's presentation.

I thought what he had to say was important Students should be exposed toas many views as possible on topics such as sex.

Mr. Homer spoke about having love in a relationship before sex, and as important, having a relationship with God. After this he began talking about abstinence until marriage. Mr. Horner discussed many biblical (and even some non-biblical) reasons why we should not have sex before marriage.

What he did not say is that our God is a forgiving God, and we are all human.

Those who wait until marriage should feel proud and confident about their choice. Those who have not or will not wait should know that they are okay too.

While Mr. Horner was speaking I could feel theguilt and nervousness of the audience. I hope that those men and women can look back at this program as a positive learning experience.

Everyone at that program was exposed to some very substantial information as well as a religious man's beliefs. What we all need to remember is that we each have our own beliefs and need to make our own choices.

I hope that anyone who feels that they need to talk further about this program topic will seek out someone from Campus Ministry or the Rooymans Center. College is the place to learn about other's views and then choose your own.

I hate losing things. It drives me absolutely insane.

When I first realize that something is missing, I frantically run around tearing up closets, ripping apart drawers and ransacking rooms. Family members enter the scene, and I drill them about where the missing, precious object is.

After a period of this lunacy I start to calm down and try to use the old trick that my mom taught me - "retrace your steps."

Finally, when all else fails, I pull out all stops. I fall on my knees, clasp my hands tightly and beg St. Anthony for some divine inspiration.

Not too long ago I lost something very precious and priceless to me - my friend.

In May 1991 Jen was seriously injured in an automobile accident. A drunk driver broadsided the vehicle that she was a passenger in and left her brain dead on a respirator. After two weeks, doctors admitted that nothing could be done and friends and family realized that prayers would not ''be answered ... The plug was pulled.

I vividly remember walking into the hospital room and seeing my comatose friend lying peacefully in her bed w'hile tubes sucked unwanted substances out of her body and pumped sustaining liquids in.

There was no doubt in my mind that Jen would miraculously awake after hearing my voice and feeling my touch. After all. we had been "best friends" for over 10 years. How could she not respond to me? You can imagine my disillusionment and sadness upon leaving the hospital without her "waking up."

I underwent certain stages in dealing with this deprivation.

Grief completely overtook me initially.

After the whole "funeral thing" I laid around for over a week and did nothing but sleep and weep. I was consumed with sadness. Finally, . my mom practically carried me up stairs and literally threw me in the shower.

I had a very dear friend who 'would call me every night and just listen to me cry. He never offered advice, but just sat quietly while I explained to him in heaving sobs how I didn't know how I could possibly go on after losing such a special portion of my life. Whatwas I going to do without her?

Then something really weird happened. I stopped crying and underwent this bizarre denial state. I honestly believed that Jen was coming back to me.

I would stay up late at night and wait for her to appear to me. Ttalked to her out loud and wrote her letters on a daily basis. I used to sit for hours and just conjure up old memories of the two of us and live in the past for a while.

One night, when I was talking total nonsense about Jen's return, my friend grabbed

me, looked me straight in the eye and said, "Mare, Jen's NOT coming back. Let her go."

1 totally freaked out on the poor guy, tried to beat the crap out of him and told him that I hated him for lying to me.

I was a little over the edge at that point.

I started to get frustrated waiting up all of those nights without Jen's appearance. My frustration turned to anger and I began to hate her.

How could she leave me when she knew how much she meant to me? I needed her and she just left me here, all alone, by myself. If she really wanted to, Jen could have "woken up." She was just lazy and took the easy way out. She obviously did not care about me, and she was never really my friend. I hated her for leaving me.

Now, nearly two years after Jen's death, I am working through the toughest stage of all - acceptance.

I still get very sad and angry at times but I know now that Jen is gone and she will never be back. There is nothing I can do. She could not control her circumstan~es and did not die to hurt me.

I miss her tembly-,eut realize that it is now time to let go - not of the memories. but of the pain, hurt and anger.

Jen will always be with me. lloveherdeeply.

Her spirit lives inside my soul.

She wrote me this letter in eighth grade and I found it shortly after her death in an old scrapbook: MaryJane, You are the best friend I ever had. You were alway\ there when I needed you and whenever we got mto a fight, we always settled it. You gave me things. you cared for me. When I felt sad, you cheered me up. Thank you!

Love your best friend.

Jennifer I think that sums it up.

WYBF co-op promotessale initiative for stationgrants

by Matthew Macsisak staff writer

In a time when our country is facing economic strife, it is difficult to find the finlUlcial means to sustain life for nonprofit organizations. 89.1 WYBF is one of those non-profit educational organizations that has such a problem. Because it must adhere to the $3000 annual budget assigned to them by Cabrini College, WYBF is burdened with the fact that it· may not be able to accomplish every goal that has been set for the year.

"A_lot of that $3000 budget gets eaten up for station expenses. Things such as AS CAP and BMI broadcasting fees, subscription to the college music journal and money to the Intercollegiate Broadcast System," communications center supervisor Bud Mellon said.

To alleviate the pressures of a small budget, WYBF devised a grant program in 1991 to sell sponsorships to local businesses. Those students who signed up to sell grants received a one credit practicum.

Working strictly on commission, those who sold over $500 in grants attained a 15 percent commission. Those who sold under $500. received 10 percent. In total sales last year, WYBF raised 52000 in sponsorship.

This year's grant program has a different twist. For the first time, WYBF is offering a co-op for all those interested in selling grants. Working on a straight IO percent commission of total sales, all interested students will receive one credit for classroom practicum and one credit for the co-op itself.

"This is a great opportunity because it combines classroom practicum with hands on experience," English and Com-

mun ications Department Chairperson Dr. Jerome Zurek said.

According to Zurek, the co-op is beneficial to students who are interested in this work. "It's a good way to start out and get good sales experience," Zurek said.

Although it is great sales experience, senior Tara Kegel is finding some difficulty in attaining sponsorships in such a slow economy. "I have gotten two sponsorships from Smokey Joe's and the

It helps prepare the students for the real world' - Cheif Engineer of WYBF Frank Hogan Wayne Tavern. And I have a few big money packages in the works. But, it's hard. Right now no one wants to spend any money. Especially on a non-profit college radio station."

Despite the sluggish economy, program director Chris Monaghan is very optimistic about the sponsorships coming in. Monaghan, who oversees all production on the grant project, is responsible for assuring that all the "spots" get put on tape and that they are run in their proper time slots.

"As far as clients go, it's been great.

The last two clients I've been involved

with were New Wayne Pizza and Pulsations night club. We were especially excited with the Pulsations sponsorship because it was a really big grant."

The grants themselves are available in three different packages. The gold package allows the sponsor 24 announcements a week for 13 weeks. The si Iver package contains 12 spots a week, and the bronze package 6 spois a week.

Both the silver and bronze packages also run for 13 weeks.

Scheduling for the spots is primarily left up to the client. "New Wayne Pizza had requested time slots for both the lunch-time and dinner-time rushes," Monaghan said. If the client has no preference as to where ~he spot should appear, WYBF then schedules the spot where there is a slot available.

This year's program is a much better program than last year's, according to chief engineer Frank Hogan. "This is better because we have regular meetings, which add to the consistency of our sales. Most of the meetings deal with sales techniques and help better prepare presentations to clients." The initial success of WYBF's co-op pro-

gram has sparked a similar proposal that is now in front of the heiarchy at Rowan College (formerly Glassboro State) Because the co-op is in its first year, and the need to succeed is vital to the programs existence, the demand to do well is ever pending. "It's tough. Students must be careful of details concerning clients. They must make sure the client gets what is paid for, and that the client hears it in the appropriate spot," Zurek said.

As far as the future of the co-op program is concerned, both Hogan and Mellon see promise. But the emphasis on getting other majors involved is a goal.

'As far as clients go, it's been great.'

"I'd like to se; .-;;-;e participation in other majors. It's the only course you can get real sales experience in. It helps prepare the students for the real world," Hogan said.

Mellon added, "I would really like to see it expand. It would be a golden opportunity for business and sales majors to really see what it's like in the world of broadcast sales. Sales is where the money is."

A biting cold wind nips at the heels of a student braving a walk across campus.

Feet make a crisp crackle on the cold pavement.

Autumn is slipping into winter. Dead leaves are brittle beneath the feet.

Wait! There is another sound! Could it be a chainsaw? An impending Cabrini massacre? Will bloodcurdling screams follow?

As the student advances, the source of the grinding echo is discovered. It is not an maniacal serial killer at work. It is a worker pushing a leaf blower!

Many visitors to Cabrini claim one of the campus' most striking features is its abundance of trees. Obviously, with 110 rolling acres covered with trees comes leaves. What may remain a mystery is the journey the leaves take after they fall from their branches.

According to Michael Caranfa, director of physical plant, every day there are two men operating leaf blowers across campus. As soon as there is a pile of leaves big enough to be picked up, two men collect the leaves• into a dump truck, Caranfa said.

The leaves are deposited in a leaf pile located in the woods along Upper Gulph Road. ''They naturally compost and go right back into the environment."' Caranfa said.

Weather plays a key role in collecting leaves, according to Caranfa. Leaves are picked up each day, provided the weather cooperates, Caranfa said.

According to Caranfa, special events dictate extra leaf pickups. Caranfa mentioned that the leaves were blown before the open houses so that the campus will look nice.

Some students agree that leaves improve the appearance of the campus, as long as accidents do not occur.

First-year student Jennifer Dale said she has not had any problems with leaves and that physical plant does a great job picking them up promptly.

Although senior Sue DiMoia has not had an accident on campus she said drivers must be careful once the leaves fall from the trees.

"You really have to watch yourself on this campus because there are so many leaves around," DiMoia said. '·It's so easy to slide on wet leaves especially. If there are leaves on the road it can be scary."

Caranfa said the process of leaf blowing and delivery to the leaf pile begins ev.ery season as soon as the leaves start to fall.

"Our work will continue until all the leaves are covered with snow or until the last leaf is blown away," Caranfa said.

The tradition of the Yule Log is rooted in the custom of the winter solstice. This custom is blessed in the Yule Log ceremony.

How does life know we've learned? When we change our behavior (either inner, outer or both). Until then, even if we intellectually "know" something, we haven't really learned it.

After the doctor comes to tell him that the man will live, the police asked to disperse the crowd. Malcolm turns to the people, raises his hand into a fist and indicates for them to leave.

'A/Jadin'delights audiences with magic, music and adventure

by Courtney O'Connor guest writer A dancing oriental rug, a magic genie, a croaking parrot, a want-to-be prince with a monkey for a best friend, a beautiful princess, and a high-adventure story with some great songs sandwiched in between. It must be a Disney film.

With the arrival of Thanksgiving and the annual holiday season movie blitz, it is nice to know that they do sti II put out some wonderful films. But did you expect anything else? The arrival of Disney's latest animated movie, "Aladdin," gives the viewer all the joy and pleasure they expect to find in a Disney film, with a few extras on the side.

The musical score was written by Howard Ashman/ Alan Menken and Alan Menken/Tim Rice. Perhaps the one downfall

in the movie was the drastic difference between the lyrics of Ashman and Rice. Ashman wrote only three of the songs before he died of AIDS. Rice's plain and simple lyrics leave the audience hungry after the brilliantly clever and fast-paced ones thrown at them

by Ashman.

The magic Genie was magnificently voiced by the talented Robin Williams, and his true genius shines through. From the moment the genie slithered out of the bottle to his last moment on the screen, he keeps the audience laughing with impersonations and fastchanging shapes.

So when you're feeling really stressed from finals, take a night off, and go see this latest Disney adventure.

If you are like me, you will take some kids in with you as an excuse.

But, then again, what the heck -- to enjoy a good Disney film like Aladdin, who needs the kids?

'Into-the Woods'-.-,,:~. brings new meaning to fairy tales: deadly

by Dana Caterson staffwnter "Jack and the Beanstalk," "Cinderella," "The Baker and his wife," "Little Red Riding Hood" -try to imagine all of these favorite fairy tales intertwined into one remarkable story. Never before have the lives of these characters been combined on stage except through the talent of Stephen Sondheim, in the production of"Into The Woods," currentfy running at the Walnut Street Theatre.

The plot revolves around the Baker and his wife who have been spellbound by the Witch. In order to get out of the spell they have to obtain four rare items in the woods. Along their travels the Baker and his wife encounter the other characters, each searching in the woods for something specific in their own lives.

From the very beginning they are all wishing for something to

come true in their lives. What is discovered is that when wishes come true, they are often not what they seem. They can even bedeadly.

The fairy tale offered many surprising creative twists. As a result, the laughter in the audience seemed almost uncontrollable at times.

Through the artistic design of the "Into the Woods" set and lighting effects a reality of sorts had been created ~d every person the[\: was virtually mesmerized~ People of al I ages attended. A true reflection that this musical is designed for all to enjoy. Director/Choreographer Charles Abbott uses a vast array of colors and magic to make every childhood memory come true.

"Into The Woods" will run until Jan. 3, at the Walnut Street Theatre.

COMP programallowsreturningstudentsto continueeducation

by Ambreen A. Alladin staff writer In just a year and a half, the Cabrini Organization Management Program, better known as COMP, has 200 students enrolled.

COMP is a degree completion program for adults 25 and older with two or more years of college already completed.

According to Meredith Leahy, the dean of continuing education and COMP supervisor.

COMP was officially started in May of 1991. The program was developed to better meet the needs of adult students and to be able to complete their degrees in a reasonable amount of time, Leahy said.

This program was designed to assist adults in completing a higher education degree.

In order to qualify you

must meet the following specifications: have at least two years (60 transferable credits) completed from an accredited college(s); be 25 years of age or older; have a 2.0 or better GPA (4.0 scale).

However, the admissions committee does consider requests for exceptions to these rules.

Cabrini's program strives to have its graduates leave with a solid background in management, strengthened by liberal arts classes in ethics, communication, organizational behavior, accounting, marketing and economics.

The major component of this program is 15 instructional modules. These modules meet from 6 -10 p.m. once a week for 18 months. Only one module is taken at any given time and the group begins and ends the program at the same time.

These instructional modules are scheduled over three trimesters and are worth 42 credits. Additionally, there is opportunity to gain credit for learning outside of school through the Assessment of Prior Learning plan. Credits earned through this plan can be used to fulfill core curriculum requirements.

In order to graduate, the student must also complete a senior thesis developed over the 18-month program.

Steve Welsh, director of the program handles marketing, application reviews and teaches as well. The associate director, Or. Valerie Hollis,joined COMP in January of 1992 and deals primarily with the curriculum, academic questions and the senior theses.

Leahy also said that adults come back to school with different goals in mind and this program can help fulfill

them.

Some students come with a personal goal to complete their bachelor's degree while others use this program as a means of career advancement.

Regardless, students attempting this program should be able to schedule their time carefully and discipline themselves to meet the rigorous demands of the program. Additionally, prospective students should be highly motivated and should see the completion of their bachelor's degree as a primary goal, according to the COMP brochure.

Students in t·he program are entitled to all other resources available such as career services and financial aid of the college.

"She is extremely energetic, very enthusiastic and she makes me want to exercise," said Cheryl Mulloy, senior. in reference to Sheila Kennet, the new aerobics instructor. Kennet teaches aerobics this semester on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:20 on a volw1teer basis.

Ever since Kennet left Cabrini as a student she wanted to come back to teach. She got this opportunity when Helen Goodwin asked if she would like to teach aerobics.

Kennet said she loves being an instructor and also has great respect for Goodwin. "I see the rapport she has with the students, she has such a great relationship with them and she is an easy person to work with," Kennet said.

Kennet said that the size of the class makes a difference in the quality of the workout and 15 students in her class is ideal. With such a small class Kennet said she can somewhat keep an eye on everybody and encourage them.

Kennet, who has her Ma~ters Degree in Health and Physical Education, does aerobics three times a week, plays tennis at least once a week and lifts weights once a week using Universal. Kennet is interested in her own physical fitness therefore she is interested in the students'.

Accordingto Kennet,aerobicsbenefits students in many ways. Aerobics gets students motivated in the morning and gets their day started. Kennet also said it is a proven fact that by doing an aerobic workout students have more energy throughout the day.

Workingoutalsocontributes to weight loss because it bums calories.

First-year student Kelly Schiller said, "Sheila is a fabulous teacher who shows great enthusiasm during each class."

Sheila McGrory, first-year student said she likes the class because it is a great way to relieve frustration.

McGrory likesKennet'sclass because she varies the workout so it doesn't get boring.

3. "ToBeSettledlnBarcelona '92"''Great marketing idea for the Reebok company. The idea was funny, and fresh, however, one did not even make it to Barcelona so nothing was settled.

Better luck in '96."

4. Charles vs. Godzilla- If Nike could shoe both Charles and Godzilla then that would be it. They would have the best of all worlds. That is if Godzilla listens to Charles' advice. Tokyo would be relieved.

5. Michael Jordan and his dad for Hanes briefs- this commercial cracks me up because I would not want to know what my dad wears to impress my mother in the fashion of underwear, but hey Jordananswers? Howie Long and his little boy and Joe Montana's commercials also fall into the Hanes cat-

Volleyball brings double identity to court

by Douglas Eppler staff writer They seem like ordinary Cabrini students.

You sit beside them in class. They share a Coke with you in the caf. But the minute they cross the threshold of the gym in Sacred Heart, the men's volleyball club members check their true identities at the door.

As they step onto the court, they don aliases such as "Eddie Munster," "Deerhunter" and "the Dentist." Gone are names like John, Bob and Brian and in their place sprout titles such as "Psycho," "Money" and "the Wookie." But make no mistake about it, to the guys on the squad, their team is no joke.

"We've been working since October," said senior and co-captain John "Veen" Latvenas. "We worked on·our passing, hitting and blocking-the three key points of the game. If we get the basics down, we'll be able to get through the league fairly well."

According to Latvenas, the team's tentative schedule includes matches against as Eastern, Lehigh, Muhlenberg, LaSalle, Kutztown, Temple, Swarthmore and Rutgers.

He and co-captain John "Bird" Feketics, soph.omore, attended a league meeting on Nov. 18 to further establish the schedule with the other teams.

As a club, the 15 members of the team must not only pay for their uniforms, but for all of their expenses including transportation, referee fees, and league fees. Latvenas reported that he and Feketics met with President Antoinette Iadarola and Vice-President of Student Affairs Robert Bonfiglio earlier this year and that both pledged to assist the team financially. Bonfiglio added that he told the team to show him any bills they receive and that he would help them out.

Although the team has been here since 1985, the members been unable to evolve to varsity status. Director of Athletics John

Dzik attributed this to a lack of funding required to make such a transition.

As unique as their nicknames are the player's expectations for the season. When

file photo

Junior John "psycho" Fasolka sets up for a point in practice. asked to which game or games they are looking forward, the men responded with mixed answers.

Feketics said he is looking forward to the match against Rutgers and playing against fonnerCavalierChris Thompson, who played with the club here two years ago. He commented that it was a "Benedict Arnold" mentality.

Junior and rookie "nethead" Gerry "Popeye" Dunleavy anticipates a competitive match against LaSalle.

Junior Brian "the Wookie" Wolk agreed with Dunleavy's prediction and added that he is also looking forward to the team's encounter with Kutztown.

All of the players asked, however, agreed

that the team is looking forward to the Cabrini-Eastern match. Latvenas summed up the sentiments of the squad saying, "Eastern is the old rivalry."

The player's individual goals for the seasons were also diverse.

As a co-captain, Latvenas said he hopes to gain the respect of his team as both their captain and fellow player and added that he hopes to have fun and win a few games.

Feketics added to Latvenas' hopes saying that he would like to see everybody have a good time. He hopes the team finishes with a .500 season or better.

Dunleavy spoke as a new player and said, "Since it's my first year, I'd like to grab some avid playing time and to start by the end of the year."

Players to watch: according to Latvenas, John "Psycho'' Fasolka, junior, is going to stand out. "When he plays, he's in his own little world. His play really impresses me," Latvenas said. He added that he likes Wolk up front and that Feketics' work over the summer has improved his game tremendously.

Feketics mimicked his co-captain's views of the setter Fasolka and said that rookies Mark "Eddie Munster" Mellor, junior, and Dunleavy will eentribute greatly to the team.

Dunleavy himself cited Fasolka and Feketics as players to watch and added to that list junior Dean "Sizzle" Marino and sophomore Bob "Money" Macartney.

Wolk also selected Fasolka as one to watch and noted the setter has "reserve energy." He also commented on the play of Macartney saying, "Bob has attitude. That's good."

The players hope that the school will continue to support them through attendance of home games.

"Suds," Alex, George, Spence, Matt, and all of the pseudonyms should begin their season early in January.

by Corinne Egan staff writer Did you know that Cabrini has a ski club? Yes, that is right, a club that requires no work and no weekly meetings. The only requirement is your willingness to have fun. You do not have to be an expert. Whether you are a regular on the expert slope every winter or you have not quite advanced from the bunny slope, this club welcomes all.

Skiing is a sport that does require some sense of balance and coordination. But, do not worry. Even if you think you are the world's biggest klutz, the saying holds true: practice makes perfect.

If flying down white covered hills

at incredible speed with long planks attached to your feet fits your fancy, you may want to find out more about the ski club.

Ed Moore is president and founder of the club, which has been in existence since he came to Cabrini in 1990. Moore was president of Marple Newtown High School ski club. When he came to Cabrini, he brought the idea to Jennifer Marks-Gold, director of student activities, and the two of them together started the club.

The first trip of 1993 is scheduled for the weekend of Jan. 8, 9 and 10. Moore has been working on this trip since the beginning of the year. The trip will be to Bushkill, Pa., and will include skiing at Camelback and Shawnee. The price is $165 per person. This figure includes lodging, meals and transportation by Motorcoach.

Activities for the weekend include indoor basketball, volleyball and miniature golf. Also included is open bar and free skiing at Fernwood, the hotel resort. Last year one weekend trip was run to Hunter mountain in New York.

"It went very well," Moore said. "We had 48 people attend, the only drawback was the distance."

"We chose the Poconoes this year to cut down on travel time," Moore said.

The trips are run by Adventure Unlimited Tour Company. Moore said last year he dealt with a travel agent but it

was just too much hasslP..

Moore says everyone is welcome on this trip. He encourages students to bring friends from other colleges.

Last year students from University of Delaware, Penn State and West Chester went on the trip.

"It's a great way for students who do not get off campus much to meet people from other schools," Moore said.

Currently the club has 30 members and as members they get 20 percent off skiing at Blue Mountain as well as discounts at The Ski Racket, a skiing supply store in Newtown Square.

There are only 10 spaces still available for the upcoming January trip.

To get a guaranteed spot, the officers of the club are collecting deposits up until Dec. 9. Anyone with money after that date may still have a chance, but there is no guarantee.

If you can not make the weekend trip but would really like to join the club. Moore and his staff are trying to set up some Saturday day trips.

Other members of the board include Chris Cirino and Eric Barbuscia, vice presidents; Steve Travia, treasurer; Helen Goodwin, moderator; and Dan Goreman who is not a student at Cabrini but recruits students from area colleges to join in on the fun of Cabrini's ski club.
