Foundresscelebrates birthday in cafeteria

by Megan Flanigan news editor

The cafe~ria was decorated with blue and white balloons, and a blue and white cake sat on a table to symbolize the colors of the college. Mother Ursula Infante, foundress of the college, entered on President Antoinette ladarola's arm with a smile. A few minutes later, everyone burst into the tune "Happy Birthday" in honor of Mother Ursula's 96th birthday.

Mother Ursula said she was surprised, because she did not know she would be celebrating her birthday of 96 years in the cafeteria. Ursula said she thought she was going out to lunch with Iadarola. "I was very muchsurprised,"Mother Ursula said.

The decision to celebrate Mother Ursula's birthday in the cafeteria was made by Student Government Association (SGA), Mark Mellor, SGA president, said.

"It was nice that every everybody sang happy birthday," Mellor said.

It was a little disappointing to Mellor

because there were mostly the same people in the cafe you see every day.

"It's a free period and there's no excuse for people not to attend."

For the faculty and students who did attend, it was a nice celebration. "It's nice that Mother Ursula is recognized and appreciated," Senior Kristin Mandia said.

"Anytime I am in the presence of Mother Ursula I am inspired," Iadarola said. "If we are celebrating 35 years of academic excellence, it's because of Mother Ursula." The celebration was the idea of the students and that was most pleasing, according to Iadarola.

Iadarola said that says a lot about the students. "I love student initiated events.

They are the best," Iadarola said. "By honoring Mother Ursula, we are honoring the students."

Most people would say the best part about birthdays are the presents we receive, but for Mother Ursula it was different. "It was my meeting with the faculty I had hired," Mother Ursula said.

New renovations slated for~.

Mansion dorms and offices

by Heather McAllister assistant news editor

The mysteryof the Mansionhas finallybeen solved. A year ago the residence hall in the Mansion was closed after 35 years of housing women. Sincethen manypeoplehave wondered how that spacewouldbe used.

Plansare now beingmade to expand someof the offices in the Mansion to includethe nowempty dorm rooms.

According to Stewart Stabley, director for institutional advancement, the Business Office will be expanded on the first floor. The offices oflnstitutional Advancement, Alumni Affairs and Development will move upstairs into the empty rooms.

Stabley said there is a serious space problem in these offices. There are secretaries with desks placed in a narrow hallway, instead of being in their own offices, Stabley said.

"We have a director of development who needs much more space and privacy to work," Stabley said. "Right now she is sharing an office with two other people. We also have a lot of student workers in our offices, and we sometimes need to send them out into the lobby or sun-porch to do work because wejust

Studentsfilteredexplanations·Finding key to accepting The truth finally comes out. The infamous "mansion mystery" has been lossand finding peace dispelled, leaving several apparent discrepancies.

Last spnng, students were told the mansion would be closed because it was a fire hazard and declared unfit to live in. The mansion was not completely closed, however, because the sisters continue to reside there.

Then, students were told they could not live there because of a lack of security.

Along with that, administrators said the mansion was closed because of declining enrollment. Iadarola, however, has stated that she hopes to increase enrollment, which would only call for more space for residents. Resident life is projecting that rooms in Woodcrest will have to be made triples next year because of rising enrollment.

Now it comes out that the mansion will not be "closed down." In fact, plans are now in action to completely renovate the building and expand office space.

It is obvious that administration closed the mansion for a combination of reasons, which is fine. . Why is it, however, that students wefe not informed upfront of all these reasons. Ins!ead, we were kept in the dark of the complete story and strung along. One-by-one, administration filtered their explanations to us.

Next time a decision is made, students should be given thorough reasoning and administration should be more upfront. We can handle it.

IuPSand downs Congratulations to the mens and womens basketball teams for taking away the PAC championships. Senior MaryKate Fannon and First-year student Billy Carr deserve special recognition for earning MVP through their extreme athletic prowess.

What is the deal with students having to wait five minutes before security picks up the phone? They cannot possibly be that busy driving around campus. And how can the security line be busy for long periods of time whilestudentsare tryingto get through? Maybe they should invest in call-waiting!

Ahhh ... Spring Break! Enjoy it.

Guys, calm down. Playing in the snow is fine, but ambushing the houses and breaking windows is an indication that some people get are getting a liitle carried away.

1 cried the tears that come with loss.

The salty taste mingling with the ocean mist caressing my face. I always felt a special bond with my grandmother. She would always make me feel better. She meant the world to me, the mother of my father, my grandmother, who gave me nothing but love.

As I stood on the beach, the Cape Cod sun touched my face, drying my tears, leaving a dry, cold feeling one October day. I knew my life had suffered a grievous loss because someone so dear would no longer be with me.

Eleven months after my grandmother died, 1 ventured up to Cape Cod to visit my grandfather. I felt badly for him, living in a house surrounded by reminders of his wife.

But life was turning around for him. He was to remarry an old friend. For myself, I was still unresolved about my grandmother's death.

One day during my vacation, 1 rode into town and went to the harbor to watch the boats. I walked out on the dock and spied an elderly man fishing. The man came up to me a bit embarrassed. He informed me that he had accidentally dropped his keys into the water, on the edge of the dock, and asked if I could help him find them.

All of a sudden the plight of this old man overwhelmed me. Finding his keys became the most important thing in my life. I dove into the cold water, and searched in vain for the keys. For as hard as I tried, I could not see a thing. After repeated attempts, I came to the surface, gasping for air. The man told me he had best call into town for help. I told him not to do that.

I ran to a nearby house and managed to borrow a snorkeling mask from a good samaritan. Running back to the dock, I put on the mask and dove into the water. Upon entering the water, I could see every-

thing so clearly. The foundation of the dock rested upon rocks, loosely cemented together. Algae and seaweed decorated the rough cracks and crevices. I rubbed my fingers along the rocks, to no avail. I was tired. I had been searching for almost an hour. I was beginning to lose hope, as was the old man. But the fires of my resolve were not satisfied.

I dove into the water again. I went so deep, that I felt the oxygen rushing to my head. I looked around for what seemed like an eternity, when to my wondering eyes, I saw it- a faint shimmer a few feet in front of me. I reached out my hand onto a rocky ledge and felt the keys against my flesh.

Instantly smiling, I proclaimed my victory and rushed to the surface. I felt so proud as I handed the keys to the gracious man.

For some strange reason, I felt resolved about my grandmother's death after this. It ~as almost as if those keys had unlocked my grief. And they did. I realized it was okay, she was happy now. God was with her.

You see, when I burst through the dark, murky waters, with the keys in my hand, I felt the love of my grandmother. She took me in her arms, like a child, so I could touch the sky.

"I'd love to touch the sky tonight, I'd love to touch the sky, so take me in your arms, and lift me like a child" -The Cure.

Ultimate friendshipfound through scripture r::•:

··=•::::~i

ccm:rde maxwell guest writer

What do you do with a man who is supposed to be the holiest man who has ever lived, and yet goes around hugging prostitutes and lepers? What do you do with a man who not only mingles with the most unsavory people, but actually seems to enjoy them?

Actually, if you would have asked me a few years ago to describe Jesus, I would have pictured him like this: blond hair, parted down the middle, kind of wimpy and skipping along the shores of Galilee humming little religious tunes with his friends, the disciples. I viewed him as the kind of person everyone would love - especially your mother.

The religious accused him of being a drunkard, being a glutton and having tacky taste in friends.

The prostitutes, lepers and thieves adored him and the religious leaders hated his guts. As a matter of fact, one of the chief complaints against Jesus was that He was not religious enough.

To say He was the master of subtlety would be putting it mildly. Imagine a scene, in which you would gather all the powerful and religious elite, so they could hear him give a talk. They are seated. He comes out and his opening words are, "You bunch of snakes. You smell bad. You remind me of decomposed bodies walking around.

And I want to thank ·you very much for coming." It would not exactly endear him to his audience!· This ~ame man cared and loved deeply.

His love was extravagant never cautious or timid. He never concealed his tears. He showed them plainly on His face, whether weeping for a city or for a friend's loss. He healed people

because he cared about them, not merely so they would follow him.

To a leper, he could have shouted, "Be healed ... but don't get too close. I just hate lepers." He did not. He reached over and touched them. His touch was not necessary for their physical healing.

It was critical for their emotional healing. Can you imagine what it meant for someone with leprosy to be touched?

A leper was an outcast, quite accustomed to walking down a street and seeing people scatter and shriek at him, "Unclean - unclean!" A leper man did not only have a diseased body, but also an equally-diseased self-concept.

He needed to be touched as well as cured.

Picture this scene. It is night when a man named Nicodemus comes to Him with a bag of questions.

Nie reasoned that none of the other religious leaders would know about t.tiis meeting because it was dark outside. Nie begins the conversation with flattery. "You're a good guy.

You must have been sent for God or you couldn't do all these miracles."

Jesus then cuts to the core of Nie 's questions - right to his heart.

Nie came with questions having seen Jesus' incredible teaching skill and having perceived the ring of truth Jesus withheld.

Nie finally found what he searched for all his life. He is now a follower of a person, not a system.

ChalJenged to read the Gospels for myself, I discovered a man of profound passion. I found an extraordinary being, flinging furniture down the front steps of the temple, casting demons out of people and saying such innocuous things as "I came to cast fire upon the earth."

Iletters SGA officers rebuttle letter To The Editor: We, the officers of the Sophomore Class, would like to take this opportunity to respond to the letter printed in last week's paper concerning the conflict between the Spring Formal/Senior Farewell and the spring play, "The Pact."

Student Government and Student Services worked closely throughout last semester to schedule an appropriate date for the formal. Melissa Tobias, sophomore class president, was careful in checking with FYI, Academic Affairs Office and the student activities calendar in selecting a tentative list of available dates.

However, Mr. Newman did not coordinate his dates for the spring production with Student Activities or Academic Affairs in order to avoid conflict. If he wants Cabrini to be a close-knit community, why did he not come to Student Government or Student Services and discuss this problem in a personal manner? Rather, he chose to submit a letter that, in fact, contradicts the concept of working within a close-knit community.

If Mr.Newman had done his homework and checked the various activity calendars, the news release conflict could have been avoided. SGA and Student Services registered their dates with the Public Relations Department for the formal as of Dec. I, 1992. Mr. Newman requested his date for "The Pact" on Feb. 2, 1993.

The information pertaining to Comment magazine, that Mr. Newman claimed to include the spring play's date, is incorrect. According to Mr. Newman's letter to the editor, he stated the play's dates were in last year's Comment and FYI. Those dates cannot be found in either the fall issue of Comment or the fall FYI release.

Another inconsistency in last week's letter was the aspect of which event was listed on the student services calendar.

In the December 1992 calendar, SGA and Student Services reserved their date for the formal and placed it in the student services calendar. "The Pact" was no where tobe found on the calendar.

However, we did find "The Pact's" date in the Student Services room-- reservation book. We did not check the room--reservations book because we are not utilizing a room on campus. Mr. Newman reserved a campus facility, the theatre, for the pending scheduling conflict of April 2, 1993.

Point taken, but doesn't Mr. Newman realize that we are reserving a room outside of the college, therefore, we do not need to check the reservations book. All reserving a room does is promise the facility so that no one else can use it. The

only way SGA and Student Services would have known the play's dates earlier, was ifwe had planned to have the Spring Fonnal/Senior Farewell in the theatre.

Organization is based on the premise of communication.

If Mr. Newman was considering avoiding a conflict in scheduling, he would have taken the same measures as Student Services and SGA. By not doing so. he has proven disorganization and will have to suffer the consequences of being labeled as an unprofessional and a poor representative .of tnis college.

The concern for the Philadelphia area's confusion is unnecessary and inappropriate if the real concern is the students. Bad Publicity? Seriously speaking, problems will always occur between the fonnal and other tentative events.

If he wanted to be certain there were no problems between "The Pact" and other programs, he would have had the respect and decency to check other calendars.

Mr. Newman, each activity is not in competition with one another. We as a community, should be proud that we are offering an abundance of events to the college. So often, students complain about the lack of activities available on campus. Rather than be upset about the situation, we should be happy that we are expanding and growing as an institution.

Sincerely, The Sophomore Class Officers

Clarifying canmunicatim process To the editor: The questions the reporter asked me for her story "Communications network helps solve problems on campus," were presented in such general or vague terms that I was not able to answer them accurately. I would like to clarify exactly what the communication process for problems is.

In my interview with the reporter I said employees can either speak to their supervisor or human resources because I did not know she would be making a distinction between faculty and staff in her article. Had I known this distinction would be made, I would have also mentioned that the Staff Human Resources Council (SHRC), a representative body of elected and appointed staff members, is another avenue that the employees may take.

When the reporter asked about a "process" I mentioned

the grievance committee, which is also comprised of elected and appointed staff members. At this point the employee has already spoken to SHRC and human resources. The grievance committee is not comprised of a group of witnesses to hear complaints, as stated in the article.

The staff member presents his/her complaint or grievance to the grievance committee 1aridthen, if appropriate, any witnesses may also present their testimony.

The president then receives a recommendation which she may or may not accept.

The president's decision is final.

Sincerely, Susan Kazmierczak Human Resources

Admissionfee .squelches schoolspirit To the editor: This letter is in response to the mens and womens basketball tournament which took place at this institution last weekend. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Cabrini basketball teams sliced through the competition to win the PAC championships.

Congratulations.

Yet,didn'titseem as though there could have been morefans?

Well, I doubt this is a result of a lack of school spirit.

In the past, the stage has been full and the stands packed. Last weekend, however, someone decided to ring up a tab and every time a Cabrini student wanted to show his/her support, he/she had to cough-up three beans.

Now I do not know who decided to charge the students $3,but I feel as if we were all at a loss becauseof it School spirit should be encouraged, not shunned by making students feel as if the $15,000cannotcover a weekend of watching their friends play ball.

I understand the trophies and referees need to be paid for (though the quality of both was not impressive) but it got pretty embarrassing Sunday at the womens finals when we were outnwnberedby Immaculatafollowers.

I think this school supports its athletics better than many small schools, but after supporting a team all seasonlong for free, it seems pretty ridiculous to have to pay when it counts.

By the way, my fiiends and I actually had to sneak into the womenschampionship gameon Swxlay because,by thatpoint,we hadno moneyleft

Muttermakesmedicinemonstrous

by Rosanne Carfagno & Gary White asst.wantart.~& entertainment editors

The Mutter Museum, hidden behind a marble staircase in the lobby of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, is a place for anyone interested in an unusual and sometimes nauseating look at medicine.

The museum contains numerous sealed glass cases in three large rooms on two floors. Each case is a new and disgusting experience.

The surgical tools of early Eskimos and a recreation of Dr. Philip G. Kitchen's office were the only two average displays.

We were amazed at the "Objects Swallowed and Inhaled Exhibit" which was a tribute to Dr. Chevalier Jackson, "The Father of Laryngology."

In laymen's terms, he was a man who enjoyed retrieving objects that people swallowed.

There were 144 drawers full of everything from big balls of food. to safety pins, to tools, to dental and other surgical instruments dating back to the early I 900s.

This display was hailed as the "Hall ofFame of Swallowed Objects,'' which included the scissor-like mstruments the doctor used.

On the other side of the room we were greeted by a wall full of sexually transmitted diseases. The wall highlighted gonorrhea, chlamydia. herpes and AIDS. The STD of choice, for Mutter, was syphilis. l\1utter traced the beginnings of syphilis, wondered about Columbus' part in transporting it to America and graphically displayed photographs of what this disease could do to every imaginable part of your body. They left nothing to the imagination.

The displays included a wax figure of a blue penis with ~ores and a man who looked like he had oatmeal on his face but in reality they were multiple sores.

Along the same wall was a photo of an infected vagina surrounded by sores and bumps, as well as, photos of various swollen tongues.

The next section displayed obstetric forceps from the I 600s; huge metal salad-like tongs used for retrieving babies from the mother's womb.

We felt as though we had seen the worst until we discovered the "Diseases of the

Skin" case. The case included such appealing articles as wax faces with bluish bumps, foreheads with monstrous protrusions and strange gaps in their faces.

There were body parts in jars. wax figures of heads with growths on them and to top it all off, a woman with the ultimate blemish: a horn protruding from her forehead. Try covering that up with Revlon.

We started to fade and thought it could not get any worse. Then we found the "Soap Man," aptly named for the soapy substance that the

actually a man or a woman. It is believed to be the decomposed body of a Philadelphia woman who died in 1856. Her true identity is still not known. It was originally believed the woman died in the 1700s, but tfiis theory was later disproved. X-rays show the pins and buttons eroded into the woman's skin.

These accessories were not produced until the 1850s. The lovely lady lost her teeth but she did get to keep half her right foot. They really should have done something with her hair.

txxly exudes while decaying.

The body resembled a toaster-burnt person or a hamburger that dropped into the fire by mistake. Why the exhibit has been named "Soap man" is as much a mystery as the identity of the corpse.

There is confusion as to whether it is

Speaking of x-rays, the next case contained six skeletons of various sizes. One lucky devil got to keep his organs and veins.

From skeletons we moseyed down to the collection of skulls from various foreign countries. Foreign or not, they all looked alike.

We did not think it could get any worse. Then

we went downstairs, and boy were we in for a surpnse. At the bottom of the long, creaky stairs we found the skeleton of a seven-foot six-inch giant, a three-foot six-inch dwarf and an average-size male, a molecular model of the brain and a collection of bug skeletons.

Then we entered the brain domain. Here we found 10 epileptic brains, two brams with tumors and the brain of a murderer all in jars. In case you were wondering if they looked any different, the answer is no.

There was al~o an entire reproductive system case that included foreign infant maladies. The babies' stomachs and lower bodies were not fully formed. We found this section to be the most disturbing.

Further down we encountered the stages of birth. Wax models of the uterus and appendages from the first month of pregnancy to birth, ovulation displays and the development of the fetus from eight to 20 weeks.

The pelvic areas of both men and women were visible in skeletons and wax models.

The various problems in and around the area were highlighted by an ovarian cyst that was 43 centimeters long.

The museum did have a body cast ol the original Siamese twins. Chang and Eng. They were definite!~ two of a kind. In addition to the cast there wa~ the chair that they shared and their livers, still joined together, in a bowl.

Maybe you should go to the Elmwood Park Zoo, located in the heart of Norristown, Pa. There are no excuses; it is close and affordable. The 65-yearold zoo is open year-round. It specializes in North Eastern American animals. There are monkeys, cougars, buffalo and wolves to mention a few.

For animal lovers, the zoo can be a special place. At Elmwood Park, there are many programs and events that can be taken advantage of. For example, why not adopt an animal or attend a lecture on snakes and reptiles?

The hungry guest isreadytodigin. But wait-this is not finger food, and the guest, stomach rumbling, is missing silverware.

"When he came in to apply for a position, he was driving a cab," Mary Ingersoll, ainanageratT.G.I. Fridays said. "The rent on the cab was more than his revenue."

Ingersoll said Boid was applying for any position, and at the time, none were open except for the silverware roller.

Boid said adding an "All right now" to the end of his sentence. "I feel very good and positive."

As Boid is rolling the silverware, the kitchen manager comes in and jokes with him.

"Tell her how many illegitimate kids you have," he said.

However, Boid spoke highly of his beagle, Trooper.

Friday's employee Kevin Boid labors behind the scenes of the busy restaurant. Working out of a loft in the back room Boid works five days a week. Though he rarefy sees the tables, customers, or what they order, Boid's position affects every customer and those who serve them. In addition to his position at Friday's Boid takes care of animals a local pet store.

Silverware-the basicsforks, knives, and at Fridays, they come wrapped in a napkin.

It is not easy to eat without it.

Kevin Boid, T.G.I. Friday's employee, knows how important silverware is.

As he sits at a table in a small cluttered loft, high above the stockroom floor, Boid places a fork and knife in a napkin, wraps them up and puts it in a pile with 400 others.

"Straight up love," he says to a blond waitress who comes in to retrieve an extra bottle of catsup.

"Straight up, Kev," she says back to him with a smile.

WithoutBoid,the waitersandwaitresses of Fridays would be forced to stay at least 45 minutes after their regular shift to roll silverware themselves. They do have to do this on MondaysandTuesdaysbecauseBoid does not work on those days.

"Kevin is an important part of the operation," Mike Vetter, head server, said. "Because when he's not there, everyone bitches and moans."

According to Ingersoll, if Boid was not with Fridays, "We'd always be out of silverware, or rolling dirty silverware, or spitting on it in front of guests. With him it is so much simpler."

Although many Fridays' employees feel rolling silverware is insignificant and annoying, Boid takes pride in his work.

"I take pride in helping the dubdubs, (short for waiters and waitresses), restaurant and busboys,"

up in the morning. He even_ bites my ear."

Boid made sure to add he does love animals. "They're so innocent," Boid said with a smile, "not like dealing with humans."

Boid also added that he works at a pet store, and Ingersoll recommended him for the job. At the pet store Boid, who is about six-feettall, broad shouldered and physically fit, feeds the small innocent puppies, gives them their shots and gives each one of them a little attention by petting them with his strong masculine hands. "I let the big ones run around cause I wouldn't want to be trapped up like that," Boid said.

Ingersoll said, "I try to be real fair. and real protective of Kevin. I make sure things are right for him."

Fifteen individuals clad in redand-white striped shirts decorated with buttons that display phrases like "Tip me or die of thirst," and "I accept insults, rudeness and big tips," gather around to listen to words of wisdom from their leader.

When this team meeting concludes, the waiters and waitresses ofT.G.I. Fridays break up and go their separate ways.

Some will pick up a broom in response to a woman barking "I needafloorsweep,people. NOW!" Others will rush like busy little ants to fill the salad dressings, restock the glassware and fire the soups in order to prepare for the busy night ahead of them. Finally, all of them will rush out onto the floor to greet their guests with a phrase they will repeat at least 25 times that night.

"Hi, would you like to try one of our drink specials tonight? We're offering a Bahama Mama or a Cafe Toledo."

To 26-year-old waitress Laura Brille, waitressing is a lifestyle.

"What I do revolves around my job," Brille said. Brille, who has been waiting on tables for nine and a half years, can be found almost every Sunday morning at Fridays leading the crew of fellow waiters and waitresses through the once-aweek hell of brunch. Brille is the shift leader almost every Sunday and, therefore, answers to the name "Brunch Queen."

Although Brille said she enjoys her job and the people she works with because ... "they are young and outgoing and like to have a good time," she also added, "no one chooses to be a waitress."

"I know it is not a career job," Brille said, "I feel like I'm going nowhere."

As Brille bid farewell to her last table of guests, she shoved a few dollars into the pocketof her black apron. Brille said being a waitress

gree. However, having the right station is vital to the amount of money Brille makes. "If I'm here in a bad station, I feel like I'm wasting my time," she said. "It is frustrating to see other people making money when I'm not."

Brille was proud when she said she made $450 a week in cash. That $450 does not include her paycheck, which she gets every two weeks and said she does not even look at.

The hourly pay for a waitress is $2.25.

After work, Brille does not go right home, rest her tired feet and go to bed, even after a 16-hour double shift. Instead she may go across the street to Pizzeria Unos for a beer where she is greeted by her fellow Fridays comrades with loud voices.

MikeVetter runs around the restaurant delivering drinks to one table, dropping a check at another, attending to another complaining their food is cold and clearing another for the next guests. When he speeds into the kitchen, he drops of the dirty dishes, fills up a few soda glasses, pulls food out of the kitchen window and begins his trip around the restaurant once again.

VetteristheheadserveratT.G.I. Fridays and has been waiting on tables for five years, two at Fridays.

However, Vetter did not plan to stick to the restaurant business. "At first it was temporary," Vetter said.

"I was gonna go back to school."

The lifestyle of being a waiter and working when his friends were going out and going out when his friends were working became the nonn for Vetter. Vetter, like Brille, said he ends up associating more with people in the business.

"It draws you in and keeps you," Vetter said. "You can't get out of it, it's easy money, not a lot of pressure. It's a vicious circle."

"It's a quick and easy way to make money," Vetter stressed.

Advertisementsportraywomen as sex objects

First-year student Jeffery Wells ponders the power of sex and women in magazine advertisements.

by Steve May assistanr copy ediror

Whether it is on the television or inside the covers of a magazine, advertising is everywhere. The latest trend in advertising is using sex to sell. Sex may be in the form of hunky men in the Iron cologne

ads or the blonde goddesses of the "Swedish bikini team." Examples like these are everywhere you look.

A 11the advertising and portrayal of sex by the media is not without its repercussions. By the time children are out of high school, they will have spent more time watching television than in school, according to Dr. M.L. Corbin Sicoli

of the psychology department.

During that lime children will be exposed to about 20,000 ads per . year.

Ruby Rem le), professor of the business department, teaches advertising and marketing courses.

Remley said that by the time a person is 21 years old. he or she will have seen over a million ads.

This semester Sicoli is teaching a television and human behavior course. She said she believes the media are hypocritical. Sicoli said the media are always selling sex to society but they do not put enough sex education on TV. According to Sicoli, there is very lit tie contraceptive advertising on television and little coverage of problems that arise from sexuality.

Natacha Bolufer, adjunct fac_ulty member of the sociology department, said that the media are "killing us softly" with the advertising portrayal of women. Women are supposed to be innocent about everything except sex, Bolufer said.

Bolufer said the ads send mixed messages in which young women are supposed to be ready for sex at all times. '"We're not humans anymore," Bolufer said, "we're sex objects."

According to Dr. Kathleen Daley-McKinley, head of the sociology department, advertising sets a whole tone for how we view sex.

McKinley said thatthe biggest culprits are beer advertisers.

Parties and booze are being sold more than sex, McKinley said. She feels that those ads appeal more to people's need for affiliation.

Yet Remley thinks advertising either appeals to people as they are or as they want to be.

She said good advertising is tested

on the population to get its approval. Yet some ad~ arc ~till ~tereotypical and our of proportion with reality.

'TV does not reflect the real world. It helps to create reality," Sicoli said.

Remley cites one ad in particular that portrays women as commodities. Remley said she thinks the Cindy Crawford ad for Revlon, with the Technotronic song ''Shake that body," tells young women to enhance their bodies in order to get what they want.

Other ads that portray poor images of women are the Old Milwaukee "Swedish bikini team., and the Claudia Schiffer Guess jeans ads. These ads all target women as sex objects. A January 1991 article in Forbes magazine backs these ideas up, yet said that ads are selling more with fantasy than real sex imagery.

Sicoli said the ads are sending children and adolescents the message that they should be sexual. But the ads and programming are unre-. alistic because they put across the idea that kids will not have to deal \.\ith any of the real problems that come with sex. These problems include STDs, not being able to deal with one ·s own sexuality, and the lad. of having an intimate relationship before having sex, Sicoli said.

"The message is that. for women to be sexually attractive, they have to be belo\.\-their normal weight," Sicoli said. There is more pressure to be thin put on women than on men, Sicoli said.

Remley said that women tend to be more negative about their own body image than men do. Males are the opposite. "Males are conditioned to feel that, if they're breathing, then they're ok." Remley said.

Yet women never think that what

they have is good enough, Rc'1llev said McKinley said that college studenL~are affected by these ad!-,because of their insecure body image.

Students tend to compare themse Ives with the ads and end up feeling inadequate, according to McKinley.

Much ofthis "model body image" comes from the media, like MTV, that areparticularly focused toward youth.

McKinley saidshethinksthese sources portraysex asnormal and everywhere.

But McKinley could not say whether she felt sex was more in the media or not.

Sicoli stressed her belief that the media feels no responsibility for the ads and programming it broadcasts toward children. She said children see the same ads as adults do but that they get different messages.

Children become cynical about advertising by the age of eight, according to Sicoli.

Remley said that there is a debate going on as to whether society influences advertising or vice versa. "Does what happens in society reflect in ads," Remley said. ·'or do ads create a trend in society? It's al\.\ays a question.·• Sicoli is pessimistic that any of this will change. She ~aid that the media do not deal well with criticism and people who ~peak up are considered antiFirst Amendment.

Remley said that stereotyping is a very common fault of advertising.Shesaidthattheyhavetobe careful not to stereotype by race, ethnicity,religionand, now, by the portrayal of the ideal woman.

Remleysaidifwomen areviewedas commoditiesnow, is societyconditioning the next generation to view themselves that way?

Dishonestycheats needy studentsof financialaid awards

by Gary White assistant arts & enterrainmenr editor People have been found guilty of fixing their financial aid application to make it look like they have less money then they really do.

Some people would call this creati vity. Some others call it greedy. No matter what you call it, it is illegal.

Individuals are not the only ones doing this. The financial planning companies the students hire to prepare their applications are also doing this.

Federal and state governments do investigate students. At Cabrini, there have been two students investigated in the past seven years, and students have had to pay grants and loans back to the government.

Central Financial Planning Center is a local company under investigation for this practice.

"When people call to ask me if they should deal with College Financial Planning Center or not, I tell them no," Christine Melton, Cabrini College financial aid counselor, said.

Melton's job in financial aid is to help students file for scholarships and financial help.

Melton said there are some tricks financial planning companies use to make a person seem more eligible.

But if you are caught cheating on financial aid forms, there is a fine and possibly a jail term. This type of behavior can be found out through your tax returns.

A sad state of affairs is when people who have the money don not use it for college, Melton said.

"These people need to fix their priorities," Melton said.

Even people who do not qualify for grants could possibly qualify for loans.

If you did not qualify for any amount of financial aid and there are extenuating circumstances, let financial aid know.

"We will try to help you as much as possible," Melton said.

For those who do not qualify for financial aid but need the money, Cabrini offers the Mastronardi Service and Leadership Scholarship, Lindback Scholarship, Sedler Award, and PatienceCavanaugh- McFadden Scholarship for upper-class students.

All of these scholarships are meritbased only. the student does not need to qualify for financial aid to get one of

these scholarships. The applications are going out in early April.

Merit-based scholarships given to incoming first-year students are the Presidential, a full-year scholarship and the Vice-Presidential, a half tuition scholarship.

The Dean's scholarship, which offers half tuition, and the Alumni scholarship, now a full tuition scholarship, are two other options for students seeking financial aid.

For these scholarships, the student needs to be in the top 20 percent of their class, have a minimum score of 1,000 on their SA Ts, and answer three essays supplied by the school. This application comes from the Admissions Office.

For financial need grants, students need to mail the application in by the priority deadline, April . This is a first-come, first-serve process.

The financial aid office looks at various factors when determining an individual's financial status.

Such factors include the number of people in the family, the parents' incomes and the student's income.

Also considered are the number of people in the family attending college

at present, when considering whether or not to give a student aid.

The financial aid department examines the family's tax returns, to check if the student is lying on their application.

If they find some kind of discrepancy, the office will then question the student's parents.

"At Cabrini, we have a small amount of funds to give out and we want to give them out fairly and equally," Melton said.

"We try to make sure the aid application and tax records match-up," Melton said.

It is very rare that the financial aid office will bring a discrepancy to the attention of the government.

At present there is someone from Cabrini under investigation for fixing their financial aid application.

An outside source is doing the investigation.

Junior Tricia Daley said she feels this kind of behavior is not right.

"They should be arrested. They are stealing," Daley said.

Sophomore Kathleen Foto said, "It's not fair to the people who really need it."

"People who need the money are being shafted," Patty Zeller, senior, said.

Through co-op, it is very possible youcoaldbecomemorefocued about what your career will be.

Take a brisk: walk to the cooperative education office located in Grace Hall. Once there, you will be greeted and have your questions answered.

There are no guarantees,yet many opportunities.

Cooperative Education Director Jim Loftus defines a co-op as "the integration of learning theory by practical work experience."

Loftus said Cabrini students obtain important work experience directly related to their field of study through applying for a co-op.

Loftus said there are 150 to 200 students earning from 465 to 500 credits and earning over $1 million a year.

He said Spring is the busiest time for studentsdoiRgco-ops.and the swnmeris aclosesecond. The co-opofficeisopenedall year round, even in the swnmer.

In order to be illegible for a co-op a stud~nt must have earned 45 credits

and hold a consistent academic standing of at least 2.0. Students can earn up to 12 elective credits towards graduation.

Loftus said, "With the ever tigbteningjob market, students should not miss this opportunity at Cabrini."

Usually SO percent of the students who come through the co-op office land full-time positions when graduating, Loftu~ said.

Senior BarbaraRegina said she was an assistant managerto the Petree Corporation, which is a nationwide retail chain. Regina trained new employees, interviewed, hired and terminated.

"It was so real life," Regina said. "A co-op could help you decide what you want to do. It gives you the opportunity to like something or not to like it."

Regina said she did go through the co-op office to land this job. She said the office was extremely helpful and thorough.

"They followed through in compliance with the corporation, and they were there to make sure everything was running smoothly," Regina said.

SteveBobo,senior, said he did a co-op. He was an assistant editor of the Monitor News.

They do it for money. They do not do it for freedom. They do it for work grants. They do not do it for studying. They are the Cabrini working students.

Since the dawn of time, humans have had to work to earn their keep. A rare handful have gotten out of working. But to college students, there are so many reasons why working occurs, and does not. Some need money for college survival, others simply need spending money. Whatever the case, everyone works in different places.

Senior Brandon Dougherty works one job at Roach Brothers Realtors as an office administrative assistant. He began in May last year and works 15 to 20 hours a week. ''This has not affected my studies," said Dougherty. "I won't let it."

First-year student Paul Kiendel was laid off last summer when he was working at Island Beach State Park in the maintenance department. When asked what he was fired for, Kiendel admitted that he "was goofing up too many times, I was surfing when I wasn't supposed to, etc."

He has not worked since then, but receives financial support from his parents. He enjoyed his last job.

Jennifer Yates, junior, is working two jobs this semester. She baby-sits for a family and for a daycare center in a health club. The two jobs, as explained by Yates, coincide with each other.

They are the same type of work for her. "I work Thursday and Saturday nights," said Yates, "so it does take away from my social life."

A senior woman, who wished to remain

anonymous, worked for a telemarketing company for over a year. She was laid off because a temporary boss said her productivity was down. She called unemployment and they said the boss' reasoning was unsubstanitated.

She has been on unemployment since last August and sees no reason to get off it.

"I liked the people," she said, "but I didn't like the hypocrisy of the bosses."

Sophomore Denise Cassidy is currently working as a baby-sitter, but did work three jobs last year. She was a resident assistant at Harcum Junior College, worked in D.J.'s Clothing Store and at Gator's restaurant aryd bar. Between the three jobs, Cassidy was working over fifty hours a week. She quit the latter two jobs to play field hockey and to keep her grades up. She said the three jobs definitely affected her studies.

Junior Jeff Patti works in the Wigwam during the school semesters and at a restaurant down by the shore during the summer. Patti had a work injury two summers ago and received workman's compensation for seven and a half weeks.

"I was satisfied and went back the next summer," said Patti.

First-year student Jessica Funck is no longer working because "school is my first priority."

During last summer, she worked at Buzz Clothing Store by the boardwalk as a cashier and customer service representative, and ordered for the family-owned store. She enjoyed herjob and saved a great deal of money so she could dip into her MAC account while at school.

more WOMEN from 12 four three-point attempts, and the Lady Cavs took a 29-26 halftime lead.

At halftime the Cabrini fans tricked their Immaculata counterparts into thinking there was a halftime sliow, and retook the stage.

However, Jmmaculata jumped on the Lady Cavs early in the second half, and built a IO point lead. The Cavalier fans were quiet, as lmmaculata point guard Christine Lavery constantly drove down the middle of the Cabrini defense. Lavery repeatedly was fouled, but her inability to make foul shots opened the door for a Cabrini comeback.

The Lady Cavs, especially Carr, took advantage of the Immaculata mistakes, and fought their way back into the game. Carr hit six out of nine shots from the field in the second half, and Cabrini drew even. The two teams went down to the wire.

Immaculatajunior MaryLackman made

more MENS from 12 two field goals in the last few minutes, but Carr had an answer every time.

Once again, the game came down to foul shots. Cabrini made theirs, Immaculata missed, and Cabrini walked away with the title. In the second half of the game, the Lady Cavs made eight of nine from the line.

Down at the other end, Immaculata was shooting a woeful five of 14.

First-year student Karen Lawrence hit four of five down the stretch, and the women of Cabrini completed the PAC sweep with a 62-56 win.

Carr led the Cavs with 20 points in the Championship Game. Tournament MVP Fannon added 16, and Mills and Lawrence each added IO points. Lavery scored 16 points for Immaculata, and Goedeke and Lackman chipped in 11.
