Realizing this. Cabrini College has instituted problem-S()]ving options for faculty and administrators which include human resources. the grievance committee and the faculty senate. Faculty and administrators follow certain procedures and processes just as students do. The nature of the problem determines who the faculty or administrative member talks t-0. The specific problem dictates the channel of resolution. ''If a person has a problem talking to their supervisor, they always have the op-

Retirement bill may aid graduates by Heather McAllister assistant news editor Education majors graduating in the next few years may be receiving a glimmer of hope from the job market. Pennsylvania's Mello Bill is offering retirement incentives to current teachers. It is predicted that a new wave of teachers will be phased into the education system as a result of this bill. According to Dr. Dawn Middleton, chairperson of the education department, the Mello Bill rewards Pennsylvania teachers with IO percent of their years of service as a bonus for early retirement. Middleton said an example of this bonus is a 30 year teacher being able to retire with 33 years of service. Middleton said the bill also was to include extensive health benefits, but some school districts have been revoking them. "The districts have been thinking twice about health benefits because they are so expensive," Middleton said. The bill will have an impact on Cabrini graduates entering a work force reduced by retiring teachers, Middleton said. However, Middleton said placements in secondary schools may not ap-

"A large percentage of the teaching opportunities are more administrative than actual teaching contracts," Selverian said. "The districts have long lists of substitute teachers. and the principals want to see the student teachers before they hire them. There are opportunities at the schools where we are student teaching because we're being observed now." Lisa Naab, senior, said the bill should help graduates to find more job opportunities this year. Naab is anelementaryeducationmajorcurrently student teaching at St. Kevm 's School in Springfield. She will be placed at Russell Elementary School in a few weeks. "It will be easier for us because there will be a lot of turnover in the public schools," Naab said. "Even if Catholic school teachers move over to the public schools.jobs will open up for us in the Catholic schools." Naab said she did not think it will be the easiest thing in the world to find a job, but thought the job market would improve for teaching graduates. "Last year there were just a handful of jobs in one district," Naab said. "In comparison, we will have

Kasmierczak, director of buman resources, said. Christine Melton, financial aid counselor, said ifshe has a problem with her job that needs clarifying, she approaches her supervisor. According to Melton, she never has a problem with her boss, but if she did she would go to human resources for help. "It's a long process," Melton said. Problems taken to human resources can be handled in two ways. informally and formally. according to Kasmierczak. The informal way is resolved by speaking to Kasmierczak about the options the person has. The formal option is for the person to document their complaint and take it to the grievance committee. This committee consists of a group of witnesses to hear the complaint. The complaints heard are then sent to the president. The president receives the information and makes a decision

about the plan of action that should be taken, according to Kasmierczak. Dr. Anthony Tomasco. chairperson of the psychology department. said he likes the size of the college's campus because it allows him to go right to the sourl·e of the problem. According to Bud Mellon, communications center supervisor, approaching the source of the problem is the best way to get things solved.

Senior Recognition Day was a great idea and brunch was delicious, but what was the deal with making the seniors take a test? The whole idea was to give seniors a day off from classes.

In reality though after the bar closes so does the bartender. There are no reports to write and no luncheons to attend. lt seems like a relatively simple life. I have decided on this because I am afraid that I will not be able to cut it in the "real world." I could use this experience as a step to writing the great American novel. Maybe I am just doing this because the commercial on the radio was so convincing that the idea of a guaranteed job is an exciting prospect. You see? I don't know what I want. I am afraid to make the wrong decision. College is such a secure place, the idea of leaving this little bubble called Cabrini College has me frightened. I know that I am not graduating yet. When the time comes I probably will m~ke the right choice. However, the fear, which might just be excitement of experiencing something new, still has me questioning my ability to do the right thing at the right time. To quote the immortal John-Roger and Peter McWilliams from their book Life 10 I, "We must persistently and convincingly tell ourselves that the fear is here - with its gift of energy and heightened awareness - so we can do our best and learn the most in the new situation."

To the editor: I was recently informed that the spring formaVsenior farewell is scheduled for Friday; April 2 - the same night as one of the performances of the spring play, ''The Pact" Consequently we canceled that evening's performance and rescheduled an additional performance for Sunday, April 4. The theatre department, cast and crew of "'The Pact" are extremely upset because our dates were registered with the Student Services office last year. The show dates were printed in FYI and Comment magazine. The theatre has shouldered the problem and changed our performances, but the consequences of this will be quite unfortunate. First of all, the show dates were already printed in the PALP, a prominent theatre guide, and it is too late to enter a correction. Also, such a strange performance run (Thursday, Satmday and Sunday) is confusing to the audience. To the Philadelphia area,this will only promote the idea that Cabrini is disorganized and unprofessional. Simply put, this is extremely bad publicity for the college. We understand the difficulties of planning a formal, but time and time again, the formals are scheduled for evenings that inconvenience a number of students. In a small, close-knit community like Cabrini, events such as the Spring Formal/Senior Farewell should promote unity and good times, not friction and sacrifices.

Making music HollandconcertopportunityinspiresScott to seek career abroad by Keith Ahlas
staff writer
Dan Scott, a senior English/ communications major, recently did a benefit concert in Holland. The concert was held to benefit the family of a female bass player who died of ovarian cancer at age_28. Scott expressed his remorse, but he said that he was thrilled to be performing in front of an international audience. Scott said that the concert in Holland was an "incredible experience." One little girl even asked him for his autograph after the show. "That little girl made my night," Scott said. Scott hopes that the concert in Holland could be the break that he has been looking for. He hopes that his debut album, which he plans to produce in Orlando after graduation, will not only gain him the exposure overseas, but here in the states as well. Scott's music consists primarily of ballads, but occasionally he will throw in a rock song. He named artists like Mozart. Neil Diamond, and Billy Joel as some of his musical influences. Scott said he hopes to pursue a musical career in Europe upon graduation from Cabrini.
Europe has a wider market than the United States, according to Scott. Scott said that the American music industry is much more competitive, and that he feels that starting out in Europe will help to increase his chances of having a successful music career. Scott has friends in the European music industry, whose influences could better his chances for success. If the album route does not work out, Scott plans to pursue a master's degree and then possibly attend law school. Scott already holds an associate of arts degree in music composition and theory from the Community College of Philadelphia. He said that he chose Cabrini because of its size and reputable communications program. "It had what I was looking for in a small school," Scott said. Having a realistic attitude and enjoying what you are doing is a big key to success, according to Scott. "I am not really that good for someone who has been playing as long as I have," he said. Scott tries to maintain a positive focus toward pursuing his goals. His love for music seemed to come out often_when he talked about the benefit concert.

StudenVprrxiucer Spencergrooves thesoundthathooksrapmusictogether by Robert Evans
staff writer
Mark Spencer, sophomore, has made a decision. After completing his bachelor's degree in optics from the McCarrie School of Health Sciences and Technology, he decided he wants to fulfill his dream of becoming a rap music producer. At the age of 26, Spencer co-owns Black Hollywood Productions. Black Hollywood Productions creates the music and back-up beats that accompany a variety of rap-style music. Spencer has a lot of hopes for the future. He aspires to be a top music producer like Teddy Riley or Quincey Jones. Although he produces only rap now, he said that he is thinking about expanding into rhythm and blues, pop and house music. Spencer intends to focus on areas of business I ike marketing and distribution, which will help him start his own recording company. In eighth grade, Spencer began to write songs which he eventually used when he started a rap group in high school called Kings of the Mountain, modeled after Run DMC and L. L. Cool J. Spencer then became a member of a three-man rap group called Black Hollywood, which included Brian Cartwell, "Threat," and Reggie Northern, "Mellow Money." They grew tired of investing money to make demos at other studios and decided to invest in their own equipment. Two years later, Black Hollywood Productions

approximately eight hours of production time. Spencer uses his equipment to distinguish a "groo~e," the particular sound that goes with the rap lyrics. He then records the "break-beat," the beat that adds dance appeal to a song. Once he has achieved this, he sets up a "hook," a beat that adds something different to the chorus to make it more distinguishable. As a producer and engineer, Spencer recorded Tone Love of the Tuff Crew's Eagles song, "Bring it home for Jerome." According to Spencer, Tone Love took the demo that Spencer produced to a recording studio to be mass reproduced for marketing. Since the beat that was created through Black Hollywood productions was not under copyright, the recording company took the credit for producing the song. Spencer was cheated out of the credit. This has caused him to be more cautious in his business deals. "You have to be prepared for shady people," Spencer said. "Now, I keep my eyes and ears open." In July 1992, Spencer met rap star Jazzy Jeff through his friend, Mark Byers. When Byers listened to one of Spencer's demos he liked it so much that he took Spencer to Jazzy Jeff's home in Gladwyn, Pa. Jazzy Jeff expressed an interest in hearing more of Spencer's music. The package that Spencer intends to give Jazzy Jeff has not yet been completed.

They came into the cafeteria for brunchon Saturday.They have something in common with the American eagle and Telly Sevallis...they are all bald. They are Cabrini's lacrosse rookies. Accordingto team bamer and captain,AlanFitzgerald,''They didn't have a choice. They're rookies and they haven't playedcollegeball before." On Friday, Feb. 12, at a lacrosse party for the rookies, hair was littered alloverfirst-yearstudentLarryFoster's basement floor. Fitzgerald and Jim Conklin, junior, were shaving hair until the wee hours of the morning, one player at a time. Many students not on the lacrosse team thought the playersdid it to look cool, but Tim, "Boner," McManus, sophomore, said differently. "I've had several comments on our hair, some good and some bad. People think we did it to try to stand out, but it's more than that. It has to do with team unity and spirit more than anything else, besides the fact that it will intimidate other teams." Kyle, "Convict," Simons, firstyear student, said, "I like my hair like it is!" "I think I look really silly," said first-year student Tim, "House," Wonson. "lt'smytimetolooksilly. r like people to see that I'm on the team 'cause we put a lot of time and effort into this team since last September. I am very proud ofus." "After I did it, my girlfriend cried," said first-year student Larry, "Loverboy, ·• Foster. According to first-year student Kevin, "Peanut," Besemer, "We don't have to worry about brushing our hair or using shampoo. Boom! You just go to class." "Next year there will be a dozen new lacrosse players and it will be their tum to be on the receiving end," Fitzgerald said.

hope will be a season of victory. They are the journeymen and their first task comes on Wednesday, Feb. 24, against Goucher College, 3 p.m. at home. After arriving on campus and formulating into a team they began to prepare for the challenge which lies ahead. Practices throughout the fall and winter months coupled with aerobics classes two days a week have all been a part of the training.
So the championshipmeansnothing?Hardly.

The transition period will come after they prove to play well as a team. According to Randy Mills the team is novice right now and it is hard to say exactly how they will fare against the Division Ill competition. ''They are a brand new group and we still have to see if they can play together," Mills said. "You can have a whole team of superstars but if they can't play as a team. then what?" The team's strength is their ability to work hard and the willingness to learn. Mills said that they are very eager. Some team members had never picked up lacrosse sticks before thi~ year but they were willing to work hard to learn the ins and outs of the game. "Lacrosse is not a pick-up sport. It takes practice and the guys are ver~ willing to put the time and effort into it," first-year student Kevin Bessemer said. Dedication and unity are also stressed, as well as the team believing in one another. "We are a family and we have a lot of h'eart. We play as one team," firstyear student Dave Millilo said. "As long as everyone does their job, then we will be competitive," sophomore Alan Fitzgerald said. Mills said sophomores Keith Blackwell, Tom Hafler, and Fitzgerald can play on anyone's team. Sophomore Tim McManus said the team's worst enemy will be themselves. "We are winning for ourselves, each other, and the school. We have to overcome what people say, good or bad," McManus said. Bessemer added that after practices the team gets into a circle and talk up the season to psyche the team up mentally. "We still need to fine tune but if we continue to work hard then the hard work will pay off," Bessemer said. "We'll just have to wait and see how unselfish we are as a team," Mills said.
