Mission development identifies core values

by Steve May copy editor Cabrini College has always followed the mission of Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini. foundress of the Missionary Sis• rers of the Sacred Heart. But now the mission has taken on a slightly different meaning.

On Tuesday, April 27, the Mission Advisory Group, a committee of the Mission Development office, met to decide on the college's four core values. The values set were: Community, Respect, Dedication to Excellence, and Vision. In the future, these values will steer the course of the college as the Missionary Sisters move out of the administrative positions in their institutions.

The process for the decision was that each Values Focus Group decided on their individual values. This was done by suggestions from the group that were voted on. Then, each group sent a de)-

egate with the individual ideas to the Values Summit on Tuesday. There, the large group weighed each group's suggestions and came up with the four core values.

In September. the Mission Development office, created by the college, named Nancy Costello as its director. Costello said the purpose of the office is to acquaint the college with the history and legacy of Mother Cabrini. She said the office, and others like it, were created in all Cabrini institutions to keep the spirit of the Cabrini mission alive, in light of the lessening direct role of the Sisters.

Like a violent hurricane that can destroy a small town on the Jersey Shore. a few drop-outs can cause damage to a student government association.

In the wake of the loss of half the executive board on SGA. the organization is still picking up the pieces.

Kim Marshall, senior, leftas president after the first semester due to other commitments, and Junior Amy Wechsler left as vice-president to become a resident assi~rant after jlUlior T.J. Roland resigned from her position. Junior Mark Mellor stepped in as president and Jllllior Tricia Daley became the vice-president.

"People stayed because they felt they could make a difference, no matter how minute."

Daley said.

According to Mellor, the group's main problem is time management. ''People don ·t understand you are not a fulltime employee of SGA ... Mellor said. • Faculty and administration work nine to five, Mellor explained, and most students' days begin at five. This means that students cannot always communicate with faculty and administration because their schedules conflict. Students are in cla~ses all day and faculty and administration are only here a cenain time of day. A student lias more free time in the night.

The failures are what people seem to see.

Mellor said. The Supenhon Weekend was a failure, but that was nature's fault more than anything else. The volleyball coach's band in the gym was not a success because only five people showed up for it. Every band scheduled for indoor events had poor attendance. TAXI fell apan due to lack of volunteers to drive.

Most recently. the softball intramural program got off to a rough stan because of advertising and scheduling.

Anne Marie Mauro, junior and social acts assistant for SGA, said SGA "bit off more than it could chew in the first semester.·• The group always started new things. but did not follow up. In the second semester.

Mauro said, the group learned how to relax and have fun with SGA. "We learned to bond more and when we had a problem we addressed it." \1auro said.

Beth Mulvihill. the social acts chairperson. saidSGA had a hard time filling positions from other members depanures because ..people don't seem to care." ·•1don't think SGA has stood out as much as it has in the past because we're having so many internal problems, but I don't think people on campus take notice,because ifthey did.something would be said. I think we're getting things accomplished, but people on the board aren't asking for help from each other."

Mulvihill said people on the current executive

boardsen,emorethanthepositiontheyhave. At this time there is no treasurer or secretary for the group. To fill in the voids. membersofSGAmay • take on more thanone title. This causes conflict because someone may become stressed out. according to Mulvihill. ··Jfs another case of the 'Cabrini Syndrome','' Junior Brian Killen said, ..where people can ·t get along with each other because they"re looking out for themselves:· Mellor feels that students give SGA a bad name because groups, such as the Loquitur. give SGA a bad name and the students follow that idea.

SGA has had many accomplishments this year. Thursdays has proven to be very successful. It draws in a great deal of people and money. µgal panies were done by SGA throughout the year, and they were a success.

Both the lip-synchs this year were popular among students. The Sibling Weekend Block Bash went well.1ne annual haunted house does well every year. They even made progress in the parietalspolicywiththe24hourvisitationforthe

houses.

When asked about how they felt about SGA this year. many students responded by saying they did not even know what SGA did or was. They heard of it, but that was it.

Others had different opinions.

Senior Resident Assistant, Missy vonSiegel. said the organization needs some direction. ..Without it, student~ don ·1 have a voice," vonSiegel said.

SGA is the voice that bridges student decisions to faculty and administration, according to the college handbook.

Killen said he felt SGA was worthless because administration can tum their deci\ions around.

Tracy Esposto. a \enior. feels SGA did a good job this year and students initiative should be higher.

First-year student Dana Cristinziani said, "They run good activities that are fun for everyone."

Whatever the case. SGA will change in the face of elections this week. A new executive board wi IIbring about change. said fonner president Kim Marshall.

The future of SGA looks bright. according to Vice President of Student Affairs Bob Bonfiglio. because of Mauro, Mulvihill and Daley. \1auro said SGA ha~ developed a close rnppon with faculty and administration and ha~ started tn1ditionalevents on campus, such as lipsynch contests or Thursdays.

Mellor said, ..People are going to have to step up and take on responsibility more seriously."

Mellor is not running for next year's SGA because he will be involved in a co-op.

"Students are missing the boat if they don't see, SGA could be a powerful change agent on campus," Bonfiglio said.

Believe it or not, Loquitur costs money to print. Think of how throwing stacks of them away will affect your tuition bill. By the way, you may want to stuff them into a trash can further away from the Loquitur bin next time. They are harder to retrieve that way.

The inaugural ball was an evening of glitz and glamor where Dr. Iadarola danced vigorously with students on campus. This type of student-faculty atmosphere should be represented more often.

Loquitur policies katherine ross features editor

A viewpoint allows the writerto discuss any topic that they desire. It gives them free reign to discover what they want about themselves, a situation, or an issue. So, for my final viewpoint as features editor of the 1992-93 Loquitur. I decided that I would take the time and explain some things to the faithful readers ofLoquitur.

Everything that appears in Loquittrr is voted on by the editorial board. Yes, there is more then one person who makes decisions about what goes into the Loquitur. The editor-inchief is not at the helm with a whip telling everybody what todo. despite what most readers think. There are eight editors who decide upon editorials or whether or not we should print someone's name in the paper.

The syllabus for Journalism II states the goals we as editors must meet to successfully complete the course. The first goal is to work as professionals, together, to produce a weekly newspaperofthehighestquality. Wesharpenour senseof what is newsworthy. We strengthenour appreciation for quality journalism by reading other publications such as the New York Times. Journalists are here to present problems to their readers. Also, we let them decide how they are going to respon<fto the article. They are not here to give solutions.

If we, as students, are not allowed to apply what we have learned in our class and do what a journalist does, what then is the point? What good is theory if there is no practical experience? If this is the case we should be refunded our money and compensated in some way for wasting our time.

The Loquitur is an award-winning newspaper, as judged by the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP). The ACP judges us on several aspects of journalism; leadership, coverage and content, photography, arts and graphics, writing and editing, and layout and design. Not only does the ACP judge our work, we critique every issue on our own, based on the above mentioned criteria. We do this to point out mistakes to each other and help each other to make Loquitur better each week.

Contrary to what some of our readers think, we do not just write stories to win awards. Winning an award is simply a way of validating what we are learning in class.

If you have read thus far, you may have noticed that I have used the word "learning" several times. What often needs to be remembered is that we are students, we are learning. Everything we have tackled this year from the big to not so big issues has been part of the learning process. Isn't that why we come to college?

I took on the position of features edi-

tor because T wanted to be a part of a team that caused people t.o think. That made people a"'are of wh_at is going on around them and made them react. I kn<i\,\;that f"ve accomplished that com- mon goal most journalism students have, because of the letter~ to the editor received each week.

Maybe I sound like l am \,\;hining.

Maybe I sound bitter. Maybe I just need to get this off my chest. I just thought it was time that the "general reading audience'' became educated on how things work and the motivating force behind decisions made in the infamous '"Loquitur newsroom·."

Right now some readers are probably thinking. '"where does she get off v.Titing something like this," or "'who the hell is she anyway?"' I will respond with one other thing that I learned in journalism. Everyone has an opinion and everyone has professional goals that they must meet. I respect your opinion and the positions that you are in, so respect mine for writing this.

Seniorreflects upon SGA executive Cabrini changes president disputes thumbs down steve bobo guest writer

I'm writing this viewpoint because I thought it would be a great idea to sit back and remember our four years here at Cabrini. Plus, it also gives people the opportunity to see what Cabrini used to be like.

It was September of 1989, and we were all scared freshmen, now the college cans them "first-year students." We all had to wait in a long line for hours justto get cleared financially and register for classes. That first day was a nightmare, especially when the registrar's office said you could not start school because you were not registered. Right now all seniors should be cringing because we all remember how frustrating that day was.

But, things have changed and now registration is finally done through the mail. How did this school function all those years with the hour-long lines on registration day?

We were the largest class ever to be admitted here. Most of us were crammed into double rooms with three people. I, on the other hand, had the distinct opportunity to live in the "fiveman room," now the Xavier game room.

I believe that most of the freshmen residents that year who are now seniors have at least one story to tell about that room. The "five-man room," I believe, was the school's worst nightmare that semester.

I remember my roommates bringing in a 15-foot Christmas tree into our room that they chopped down from somewhere close by. Now, I am the sole member still here at Cabrini from that room.

Speaking of Xavier, it used to be a "wet" dorm and if you were caught with beer it was the low price of a $25 fine. There were no bars on the W oodcrest windows or guards in the houses and residence halls. After midnight we were all on our own.

Remember?

I remember touring the campus my senior year of high school and seeing sheets hanging out of the windows of Council Hall, now Grace Hall, where men lived. The courtyard was under construction because they were building

the atrium.

The sisters lived in the convent in the mansion, where they still live today. Female residents used to live in the mansion. Sister Julie Toto taught classes in education, and lived in the mansion. She was a class act.

Two years ago we saw the return of a campus chaplain. The college built an office for Father Ambrose in the little lounge outside of the radio station.

The Widener Center has seen other changes as well. The current SGA office used to be the bookstore, and the gameroom was the SGA office.

The radio station was AM and it seemed like a decade before we finally received an FM station.

The cafeteria never had bar code system it has now. Francis just looked at our ID cards and clicked us into the cafeteria with a clicker.

Sr. Toni worked in the registrar's office and no one even heard about a director of security! Wow, security has definitely improved since freshman year.

Do you remember Rita Calicat? She was the director of student activities three years ago and Angie Corbo was the president of SGA that year. I can't believe it has been that long.

Room deposits were $100, compared to $250 now. Student ID's were S3 a pop, instead of the current rate of $5.

I couldn't even tell you how much tuition went up.

Cabrini was what we called a suitcase college. But look at the Woodcrest, Xavier and Residential Boulevard parking lots now on the weekends!

Along with everything else, the class of 1993 has changed since all the girls lived in Woodcrest and all the guys were in Xavier - and all the parties in between! We had our share of cliques back then. You all know who was in each one. But look at us now.

I think we are one of the closest classes I've seen here at Cabrini - at least those of us who hung on.

We've laughed and cried and we've partied I 00 nights, Networks, 50 nights and many, many more to come.

Dr. Carter Craigie and his red handkerchief may tell stories of ghosts lurking on campus, but the legend and spirit of the Class of 1993 will remain at Cabrini for many days to come.

To the editor: I am writing in regards to the "thumbsdown" vote by the Loquitur staff for SGA's intramural softball program.

The "thumbs-down" vote is premature because the intramural softball season just began.

Secondly, the intramural softball program is being run differently than last year. The 1992 intramural softball program was very successful in that faculty, staff and students enjoyed activities outside the classroom.

Overall, the students involved in SGA sacrifice numerous hours of study and

personal time to plan activities for and represent Cabrini students. I feel that these same people work too damn hard and all they receive is negative criticism by people unaware of an SGA officer's responsibilities and duties.

I ask the readers of Loquitur and participants of the intramural softball program to disregard the "thumbs-down" vote. Do not let one critic's views disappoint attending events or involvement in SGA. Sincerely, Mark Mellor, junior SGA Executive President

Daylor questions Loquiturstaff'sethics To the editor: This letter is not to express praise, but disgust towards the recent article, "A night of drinking ends in sobriety lesson."

The topic is worthy of discussion, but the tone of the article showed a complete lack of journalistic ethics.

At the time of the article I refused to comment and was assured my name and the incident would not appear in the paper. Why the editors felt they needed to go behind my back and obtain the police report to write the article anyway, I will never understand.

I would I ike to thank you all for bringing back the pain that I was trying to put behind me.

I will be the first to admit what I did was wrong, and I apologize for all the pain I caused. When your doctor tells you that you are very lucky to be alive, you learn to appreciate all you have. What I appreciate the most is the fact that I have a heart and care about people, unlike most of the Loquitur staff.

By the way, there is no such thing as a Saab 200!

Sincerely, Elisa Daylor Junior

Editorsdeemed insensitive To the editor: Let me start off by saying that I am commenting on the article, "A night of drinking ends in sobriety lesson."

There are so many things going through my head as I read this article.

But I think the main question throughout this whole article is "why?" Why would a group of student reporters want to harm another student? It is bad enough when the administration puts a knife in a students' back, but it is worse when students do it to each other.

I read this article several times and I feel I found your biggest mistake, "Daylor refuses to comment."

Doesn't that mean that she does not want her story talked about?

Doesn't that mean she just wants to leave well-enough alone?

You were not in the emergency room with her. You did not see the shock and trauma· she was going through. You did not hold her hand and help her. I did! I had to hear the doctor say to me that I could have buried my friend.

You have no right to speak on a topic you know nothing about. You want to write on drunk driving, well

fine, write an article on drunk driving. But when someone says they don't want to be a part of something, accept it. How dare you have the audacity to go against Elisa's wishes and print this article.

I don't blame the writer. She was assigned this article. She didn't have a say in the matter. I blame the editor-in-chief.

I cannot believe you would blatantly go against Elisa's wishes and print this article.

You must be taking lessons from the administration at this college. I guess the article you wrote in issue 22 did not teach you a thing.

Let me ask you something.

Was this article really done to "inform the students" of drinking and driving?

Or was it done to assist you in winning the American Collegiate Newspaper Award?

In closing, I hope you are satisfied with what you have done to my friend, Elisa. I hope none of you on the Loq uitur Board never have to go through what I did on April 3, 1993.

Sincerely, Danielle F. Harris Junior

moreDEVELOPMENTfrom1 Cabrini institution that came up with its core values recently.

Most other Cabrini institutions have aJreadycome up with the values and Cabrini is one of the last to do so.

The very first job of the new office was to create the core values for the college. Costello said the Sisters have asked each institution to identify the values to fit the mission.

Since Cabrini College is the only institute of higher learning, CosteUo said the values would relate to students and college life.

Costello began worlcing on the values in September. She interviewed all Cabrini College employees and asked them if they would be willing to facilitate a values focus group.

Each group would meet individually to decide upon their values. The decisions then would be sent to the

Mission Advisory Group, which would sift through the values and come up with four that best described the mission of the college.

Group meetings began on March 29 and continued until April 15. There were 16 focus groups with 12 people per group. There were 22 volunteers who acted as facilitators.

One of those facilitators, librarian Anne Schweim, said she learned a great deal from the meetings.

Schweim said she learned that all the employees of the college are important to the Misi.ionary Sisters and that everyone's opinion matters.

Schweim said her responsibilities as a group facilitator were to lead the group of college staff and faculty through ex• ercises~ in order to identify that group's core values. She said students would be indirect recipients of the values clarifi-

cation process.

She said that the two students who were on the Advisory Group were senior Eric Klansek and sophomore Caroline Smith.

Smith said she was chosen to be a part of the committee because they needed student input. She said she was asked by Costello to sit in for Klansek because be student taught and was a senior. Smith was to act as a replacement and learn what the role was.

About her role, Smith said she had many positive feelings about being a part of the group.

"I like working on Mission Development," Smith said. "It gives me a real sense of purpose."

Costello shared Smith's enthusiasm.

"I am excited because this is a catalyst for the community," Costello said.

She also said the dialoguing that went

on between the participants in the values groups was excellent.

"The focus groups served as a reminder of why we 're here/' Schwelm said. "They were a good way to let us know that Cabrini College is a good place to work. It's a refresher that everybody needs.•• "We've been given a mission by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart," Schweim said. "Since they are going back to missionary work, the lay people have to ·carry on the values. It's a great responsibility."

About the valu~s decided upon and Mission Development's future role.

Costello said the office would animate the values and make them come alive.

"People had time to reflect upon our heritage and what makes us different," Costello said.

Spinning''yarns"of folkforeinto mainstreamculture

by Matt Macsisak

staff writer The urban legend is nothing more than a very short, modern folklore story, that sounds too good to be true.

However, not to denounce the entire allure of an urban legend, there is a credibility factor that does give these stories some validity.

"They 're the type of stories that sound so unbelievable, but when you think about them, there's a believability to these when you think abut them," resident folklorist, Carter W. Craigie, said.

Craigie added that the legends themselves always seem to happen to friends of friends. The stories pop up in different parts of the country with slight variations. It is the same foundation with slightly different architecture.

Man on a Hot Shingled Roof The day had started like any other day would in Berwyn, Pa. The night before had unleashed a terrible storm that caused some minor damage to local homes.

A man and his son had walked outside to assess the damage that occurred to his roof. The man proceeded to ascend onto the roof to repair the damaged shingles.

Finding that the roof was too steep to keep his balance, he commanded his son to go into the garage to fetch some rope.

Upon his father's request, the boy darted for the garage and retrieved the coiled hemp.

The boy threw the rope up to his father, who tied one end around his waist. He then tossed the other end over the apex of the roof and down the front of the house.

He then told his son to secure the rope to an immovable object. Following his father's orders, the boy fastened the rope good and tight. Pulling the rope to ensure his safety, the man began about his task.

Not too long after, the man's wife exited the home on a shopping expedition. As she got into her car and turned over the ignition, she never bothered to notice where the boy had tied the rope - to the rear bumper. As she sped out of the driveway. the man was pulled from the roof, up and over the top, and plunged to hi~ death in the from yard. Adding insult to injury, or death as the case may be, it was some time before the woman relaxed she was dragging her husband behind her.

The Tailgate Trucker One Christmas Eve, in a small town on the outskirts of Reading, Pa, a woman realized that in the hustle and bustle

copy editor Imagine that you go away for a weekend.

You are going on a relaxing trip to the Poconos to get some rest. y OU book a stay in a small hotel and prepare for a welldeserved getaway. Shortly after you arrive at the hotel, a murder takes place. You become a suspect. A detective is called in and the entire weekend is spent trying to pin the murder on a suspect. The murderer comes forwar4 but is not arrested because this is all a part of a murder mystery weekend.

Sophomore Lindo Sabatini went to a murder mystery weekend in Scottsdale, Ariz. last year. "You had no idea who was actually staying in the inn," Sabatini said, "and who was an actor."

Some of the settings are in a hotel atmosphere, while others have a "family

of the holidays, she had forgotten to get her husband a gift.

In a panic, she immediately rushed out to find any store that might be open on this particular night. Coming upon a small gift shop, ·the woman parked in front of the store, left her car running, and rushed in to purchase a gift. Upon leaving the parking lot, the woman noticed that a tractor trailer was following at a very close range.

As she proceeded down the road, the truck repeatedly kept blinking its high-beams. As she switched lanes, the truck did the same. All the while flicking his high-beams in her rear window. As she sped up, the truck followed verbatim. as she slowed down, the truck did the same.

Finally, arriving at her home, the woman pulled into the driveway only to find that the truck was right behind her. In haste, the woman ran to the front door. The trucker exited his cab and approached the woman. The trucker began to tell the woman that the reason he had been following so close was to warn her that she had a stranger riding in the back seat of her car.

For you see, the woman had left her car doors unlocked while she had been in the gift shop. While purchasing her husband's gift, a stranger entered the car and lay down in the back seat. Unaware of her newly acquired passenger, the woman sped away for her home. By flicking his high beams at the woman, the trucker got her to look in the rear view mirror just as the stranger would sit up to attack her. So each time he would peer in the mirror, the attacker would have to conceal himself by curling up behind the seat.

The following urban legend comes from Steve Winick, a graduate student and teacher's assistant at the University of Pennsylvania. Winick is currently involved in the "cuttingedge" research concerning the theoretical aims and linguistics of the urban legend.

"Used in a traditional manner, the stories are usually believed to be true by the same people who tell them. The main reason for the problem of believability is what one person sees as truth, another might not. It leaves you to wonder, who is right," Winick said.

The Twisted Tryst The story goes that on a particular night at Columbia University, a freshman sought out the pleasure of whetting his whistle.

As he wandered through the doors of a local watering hole and settled himself into a chair at the corner table, his eyes noticed the voluptuous curves of a woman at the bar.

Catching the glances the young man fired across the room, the woman removed her perfectly sculptured body from her bar stool and proceeded to join him for a conversation.

After a few hours of gay banter, she persuaded the gentleman to join her at her apartment. Unbeknownst to this wet-behind-the-ears freshman, this woman's sexual preferences bordered on the perverse.

Arriving at her pad, the two wasted no time with cheap talk. As they entered the bedroom, the student could not help but notice the whips and chains that she had scattered on the walls. Being fairly young and incredibly naive, the man was confused to say the least. Although he had never experienced anything like this before, he figured, "What the hell."

This had the makings for a perfect Saturday night.

In the minutes that ensued, the young man now

found himself bound to the bedposts in chains. Bare ass up, he waited with breathless anticipation for her next move.

As the woman made her way around the bed and opened the closet door, the young man was quite surprised to find a large black man, wearing a Batman suit, standing amongst a rack of leather panties and bousteurs. Doing his best flying bat impersonation, the man leaped out of the closet and proceeded to have his way with the young man. You can say that any point the black man wanted to make, he certainly drove it home.

Candied-Apple Surprise There once stood a house on Wynnewood Ave. in the middle of Ardmore, This house however, was not like any other typical house in the neighborhood. It is the kind of house that parents would tell their children not to walk by.

Its owners were a very weird and sorted bunch. They never left the home, and when they, did, it was always at night so on one could get a look at them.

One Halloween about 15 years ago, the owners of the house prepared candy apples for the trick-or-treaters. These apples however, were not of the "Granny Smith" variety.

An unsuspecting !T)ancame calling for some treats. He received what he had thought to be a generous gift. Upon leaving the home, his eyes were dazzled by the brilliance of the apple. It looked so good, there was no chance of him waiting another second before devouring the fruit on the stick.

As he held it in his hand, his mouth began to fill with saliva. His jaws opened as wide as they could and he took a mighty "chomp" into the apple's side. What he was not suspecting was to find a razor blade embedded in the core.

The blade severed his tongue, and he never spoke a clear word for the rest of his life.

The home no longer stands in the suburban confines of Ardmore. All that remains is an apartment complex and the memories of a little by and his tongue. To this day, there are people who claim that a razor blade can be found every so often on the sidewalk that stil I exists on the sight of the old home.

On...

by Katherine Ross features editor

As the horse-drawn carriage pulled up outside the building. Music and voices could be heard from behind the doors. It was a cool, crisp evening and a barber-shop quartet was singing merrily to greet the guests.

As the quest entered they walked through arches and past a gazebo. These quests were entering a Victorian garden.

A Victorian garden that was created last Saturday to celebrate the inauguration of Cabrini College's sixth President, Dr. Antoinette Iadarola.

The inaugural festivities kicked off over a month ago when world-renowned poet Nikki Giovanni spoke at spring convocation. She delivered a speech on "Community in the Midst of Diversity."

On April 18 the festivities continued with, Pianist Pong-Hi Park and Violinist Mi-Young performed in the mansion. Brother Patrick Ellis, president of The Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., spoke on Wednesday April 21 on "The Catholic Liberal Arts College and the Common Good." Friday, April 23 was the Inaugural dinner in the mansion.

With all of the pre-inaugural day celebrations some people thought it could not get any better.

Well it did. From the opening mass at the Bruckman Chapel to the inaugural ball Saturday April 24 exemplify Cabrini spirit perfectly.

According to Sister Bernadette Anello, MSC, Saturday was not over done but it was befitting a celebration. "It was done. of Cabrini taste and Cabrini warmth," Anello said.

Dr. Adeline Bethany stated that Saturday was very well organized.

"It was done in excellence taste," Bethany said.

The inauguration of Iadarola was a long time in coming since she was assigned to her position back in July. According to the inaugural program Iadarola was chosen from 160 candidates after a nationwide search. Iadarola 's previous position was provost and professor of history at Colby-Sawyer College in New London New Hampshire.

The highlight of the day, for some, was the installations ceremony. At the ceremony Iadarola was presented with the institutional mace. According to the inaugural program the mace is carried by the Faculty Marshal to lead formal institutional processions like convocations or commencement.

Doug Eppler, sophomore, felt the installation ceremony was fitting and entertaining. "The gym was tastefully decorated for the day," Eppler said. "The ceremony was very impressive.

The reception that followed was fabulous, especially the food.

The fact that it was Seiters was surprising."

Joyce Talotta se'nior and Seiters employee said that the day went really well. "Seiters, physical plant and housekeeping did a great job making the day flow well," Talotta said.

Saturday ended with the inaugural ball in the Grace hall atrium. The ball was a celebration for everyone to come together for an elaborate end to the inaugural festivities.

Courtney O'Connor, senior, was on the planning committee for the ball. "From the beginning of planning for the inauguration festivities the ball was the part of the day that was meant for the students," O'Connor said.

According to Bethany, the ball was meant to be held off campus but Iadarola insisted on having it on campus.

"We felt that if we had it off campus we would we cutting off some of the students," O'Connor said.

"It was like another formal but closer to home," Talotta said.

The 1990s: A parent's reflection on the American dream

by Katherine Ross

Jeatures editor How well off is a family in today's society with four children, one in college, one in high school and two in daycare?

Both parents are working and bringing in enough money to get by and enjoy a few extras.

How well off is a family in today's society with four children, three in college, and one still at home working in an entry level position in a bank? Only one parent is working. The other has been fired because of an on-the-job accident that caused him permanent damage to his legs.

Some of today's parents have classified that the American dream is not to have what their parents had but to make enough to get by. They are worrying about losing their jobs. Some feel trapped in jobs that they really are not happy with because they need the income to make ends meet. Some parents worry that their children will not be able to have more then they did. That their children's generation will not be able to better themselves. That the economy will never improve and their children will be slUck working in jobs they do not really want.

Janice Sivieri is a mother of four children. The oldest is in her third year of

college the youngest being eight months old. She and .her husband Frank both work to bring in enough to put food on the table, get the kids through school e and get the extras that keep everyone in the family happy.

"I think that the American dream for most people is to work, have a family, and enjoy their free time," Sivieri said. "People want

'Coming out of school and thinking about supporting yourself in the job you want is nearly impossible.'

-Janice Sivieri to have more then their parents had."

In the "buy happy" time of the 1980s material wealth; and possessions measured your happiness.

Family values and a high work ethic where no longer at the helm of personal happiness.

"To some the American dream is a material thing - measured by how many material possessions they have," Si veri said. '·I think it's something much more.

It is a certain level of happiness, satisfaction and/or fulfillment."

Sivieri's husband Frank lost his job

as an accountant in November of 1991 because he was not willing to play the games his company was playing.

"He kept his integrity but had to lose his job to do it," Sivieri said.

"Financially it was a difficult time for us. Frank had just switched companies about a year before and at that point the job market was tough."

Losing a job is rough especially when your family is relying on you to bring home a paycheck every two weeks. James Ross lost his job as a civil inspections engineer when an on the job accident caused him permanent damage to his legs.

"Who is going to hire a 60-year-old with a disability to climb around on structures," Ross said. "I am looking but it is very difficult."

Supporting a child is expensive these days. But what is even worse is the thought that when that child has to go on and support itself. College graduates will have a difficult time finding jobs in today's slimming market. ''Coming out of school and thinking about supporting yourself in the job you want is nearly impossible." Siveri said.

"With rent and other expenses, an entry level salary is not enough to live on."

by Christine Labroli staff writer

In an increasingly international society, a study abroad experience in a foreign country is not beneficial only to foreign language majors. Studying at a foreign university not only internationalizes a resume and expresses to a potential employer important characteristics such as se1f-reliance, maturity and the ability to adapt to a new environment, but broadens horizons by teaming a new environment as well.

If a student is interested in studying abroad, the first step he or she should do is researc:b.

The updated infonnation on different programs offered abroad are located in the library.

Since Cabrini does not have its own program,students must apply to other university programs that wekome outside students.

Another option is for a student to apply to international organizations that are specifically designed to place students in foreign universities in the countries of their choice.

Most university and international programs offer a year,

University offers only summer semester or summer abroad. The American Institute For Foreign programs in Italy, Spain.

Unbeknownst to much of the campus, the college has added a new laboratory to aid in education. It contains no test tubes, no Bunsen burners and no computers. Yet the Seminar 300 courses places humanity under powerful microscopes.

These courses require students to participate in various forms of service to the community in addition to their classroom work. These courses are required for graduation.

Dr. John McGovern, professor of graduate studies, said he had no intention of teaching undergraduate courses until the idea of the Seminar 300 courses arose.

The former principal of a Quaker elementary school with a similar service requirement, McGovern was excited by the proposal and its service requirement and became one of its strongest advocates over three years ago. He began to write courses to fill the new core requirement.

• "I've always felt that education isn't only an academic process," McGovern said.

McGovern joined with the "leaders" of the proposal, Dr. Jerome Zurek and Dr. Sharon Schwarze, and presented the Sem 300 to the curriculum committee, the Missionary Sisters

of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC,) and finally the Board of Trustees. The Sem 300 course, service requirement et al, is now a requirement for graduation from the college.

Junior Brian Killen sought community service at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Philadelphia.

For four weeks, Killen "stood guard" at the memorial, defending it against vandalism

helps to open up other aspects of peoples' lives that they are unaware of.

According to Ferris, this experience brought her closer to the other people who participated in guarding the Veterans Memorial.

Ferris said this made her realize how dedicated the veterans were to their cause.

She also said it made her aware of what made this monument so

'I thought I could lend a hand to the Veterans Administration considering my father's a veteran. Anything I could do to protect their integrity.'

-Junior Brian Killen and violent attacks.

"I thought I could lend a hand to the Veterans Administration considering my father's a veteran," Killen said. "Anything I could do to protect their integrity."

Killen added the Veterans Administration and the college provided ample information and were quite helpful in the execution of his community service.

Junior Jen Ferris said she thinks community service should be required because it

sacred to the survivors of the war.

"This made me more whole with myself and the with the others who were also involved with the project," Ferris said. "l was proud to be a part of it."

In her junior year, Dawn Timbario, senior, traveled to 21st and Diamond Streets in Philadelphia to tutor an afterschool literacy program at the Frederick Douglas School near Temple University.

The program strove not only

to further the reading and writing skills of the youngsters but to keep them off the streets as well.

In addition to her work in the city, Timbario spent much of her time tutoring pre-school students in Norristown, Pa. in the Pre-school Intervention Program (PIP).

"Doing community service was nothing new for me, but I wanted to try a different area," Timbario said, noting that she had served in similar programs through much of her time in high school.

Schwarze said that her seminar, "The Problem of Evil," is "labor intensive."

She added that the preparation for the course involves a great deal of energy.

Community involvement aside, Schwarze said the syllabus for such courses present professors with a challenge.

"It's sort of an internal competition. Who had the most interesting syllabus," Schwarze said.

Schwarze 's course is writing intensive as well. Each of her students complete l 0 pieces of writing in the semester.

In addition to these written assignments, Schwarze requires 10 hours of community service from her students.

"We're trying to use the community as a laboratory," she

said.

Not all of the would-be scientists, however, agree with the mandatory service.

Senior Kevin Gaherty called the requirement an oxymoron.

"It can turn people off to community service," he said.

"Community service is something you can do on your own time, when you have the time."

A student in Schwarze's seminar, Gaherty fulfilled his requirement by aiding the homeless of Philadelphia in soup kitchens and the Carewalk. He added that finding the time to make the trips into the city was difficult.

GaMrty said he has done volunteer work before and is currently tutoring first-year students in history but added that he cannot count either towards his requirement.

McGovern added that this requirement strives to lead these social scientists "beyond the narrow focus."

"The gospel says we are our brothers keepers," McGovern concluded.

National planning for the four days of events and the parade began during George Bush's administration two years ago.

Similar to the 1987 march, a symbolic mass "wedding'' ceremony affinning gay and lesbian relationships tookplace, and the AIDS quilt was present. At that time, the quilt displayed the names of 1,923 AIDS victims. At present, approxima1ely 23,000 names appear, according to the Au Courant tabloid. The 1993 march focused on the most timely issues facing homosexuals. Cabrini students were asked to respond to these issues and their answers varied.

Homosexual couples are striving for legislation to end discrimination. At present, couples are barred from the adoption process, custody rights and foster care, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Dave King,junior, stated that his image of homosexual life-style is limited to stereotypical views ,and although their life-style differs from his own, he feels they should be able to marry. "If a man lov~ another man, and a woman loves a woman, then they should be allowed to express that,·•King said.

to gain equal rights.

Some studentsseemed to think homosexuals wererequestingspecialrights. Ray Ewing, fust-yearstudent,said."Sexualpreferencedoes not mean you get special rights.'' Anne Marie Mauro.junior, stressedthis same point. "'They should have the same amount of rights, but nothing extra," Mauro said.

For some students thisissue is not pertinent.

Some students refused to comment. "I could care less if they get their rights or not." Joe Ewing, junior, said.

When asked if students thought a homosexual should be barred from a type of employment because of the risk of AIDS, the response did not lean heavily for or against the issue. In most cases, students stated that it depended on the employment position and the circumstances.

'Adam was meant to be with Eve, not with Steve.'

-James Millett, first-year student The appeal for a "massive" increa5e in AIDS funding would supply AIDS research, education and patient care, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. The budget proposal would increase AIDS spending by $600 million, according to Au Courant.

Many students agreed that homosexuals are not to blame for the AIDS epidemic and are suffering from this problem. Linda Narvaez, junior, supports the idea of increased fundmg for AIDS. "By helping them, we will be helping the heterosexual population as well," Narvaez said.

Homosexuals are striving to end violent oppression based on race, religion, age, class, sexual orientation, or AIDS/HIV infection, and to end discrimination in the work place. according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

"If they are going to be open about it, they should expect the repercussions,•· Kelly said. ''It isn't normal and it will never be

In response to the parade, Tom Berretone said, "They manipulate the media to spread their word. It's a classic example of non-violentresistance."

MikeVerna.sophomore,explainedthat although he did not think that a person's homosexual is something to be kept inside, it is not necessaryto parade around about it.

Linda Narvaez expressed her repulsion of watching the parade because she opposedseeinghomosexualspubliclydisplaying their affection for one another before a television camera. She said she felt it was not rightbecausechildrenwould be watching.

Students were asked what their impression of homosexuals is and about the rights homosexualswere rallying for during the parade.

When asked if he considered himself to be a homophobic, Joe Opeila. junior, replied. 'Tm not afraid of gays but I don't approveof their actions." When King was asked that same question he replied, "My motto is 'to each hisown.'Idon't think they are wrong."

Fi.n;t-yearstudent James Millet said, "Adamwas meantto be withEve, not with Steve."

"It's an abnormality they cannot control," Ray Ewing said.

Jennifer Yates reflected on her personalviews when askedabout therights of homosexuals. ·•Asa human being, I have no right to regulate anyone else's behavior. nor do I have the right to mock them for their opinions or beliefs," Yates said.

"I don't think it's normal because of religious,biological,mental,-oremotional reasons," Gary Amici, senior, said.

"I personally do not find refuge in the arms of another man, but some people do.

"Matt Macsisak, senior, said. "I look at homosexuals as normal human beings.

They have to deal with day-to-day lifejust like we do."

Big bets: College students play the odds in high-stakes gamble

by Brendan Noone

co-sports editor Gambling. In many circles it can

be considered harmless recreation.

It starts with office pools, raffle tickets, the daily lottery and treks to Atlantic City for a night on the town. For some, gambling is commonplace. For a gambler it is their way of life.

The unpredictability and the risk of .betting, generates excitement which a gambler focuses their complete attention upon. Gambling is the detour to fast money, which generally snowbaJls down the road to addiction.

According to Alan McEvoy, Professor of sociology, Wittenberg University, the profile of a gambler suggests that they are highly competitive and resourceful people who seek the stimulation of a challenge.

"If students see school as nonstimulating and predictable, they have incentive to gamble," Mc Evoy said. "And they will gamble even

to the detriment of academic suc- heavy from October of 1992 through cess."

March of this year.

A 1988 survey of students from Maury began running betting six colleges in five states across the . lines to Las Vegas, collecting nation revealed that 85 percent of money from clients and placing the students gambled.

His in- said. volvement in gambling became Every win was Maury's to

take care of and every loss was Maury's responsibility.

As of today Maury is sidelined from the lure of gambling, claiming that his boss is taking the summer off and saving up for the prosperous football season.

"You 're never out of the trap," Maury said.

However, for some people the trap is a stern look at the reality in the "magical windfall." The second student, Lon, started betting on college and pro football games through his next door neighbor.

"The betting week would start Saturday afternoon with the college games and it would take you into Sunday night," Lon said. "There was always the saying, 'thank God for Monday night' to win back your weekend losses."

According to Lon, there were weeks when his entire pay check would be devoured or doubled.

He would waste weekends at-.

tacking the papers searching for the ultimate money maker.

"This thing snowballs you in so many ways that you can't control," Lon said. "Stopping is almost impossible."

This fetish for the fast track came to a screeching halt one Sunday afternoon when Lon's back was to the wall.

In one weekend, Lon lost five college games, $50 each; five pro football games at $100 a piece and he was down from the previous week an additional $ JOO. A hefty price to pay, for what Lon called, a hobby.

For Lon, he did thank God for Monday. Lon is one of the few lucky ones who escaped the clutches of gambling and learned through a blessing. That blessing was the arrest of his area bookie. Just like that, the debt which was hanging over his head was gone.

"Since then J have never bet again," Lon said.

Fear and loathingunderthe sun:

The trials and tribulations of tanning

by Kelly McDonald asst. sports eduor Scorching hot rays of the bright August sun beat down on bodies that are scattered across the warm sandy beach. Sun worshipers bask in the sunlight for hours in hopes of acquiring that golden glow. Although this scene may seem enticing to those of us who are still stuck behind the walls of a classroom, studies have proven that tanning is not as healthy as it seems.

According to Vincent A. De Leo M.D ., in Glamour Magazine, natural tanning without sunscreen causes the radiation from the sun to make the skin pigment cells create more melanin, which creates the tan effect.

De Leo said there are no positive aspects to tanning without sunscreen. It does however, cause photo-aging and may lead to skin cancer. Without sunscreen burning may occur. This barning comes from Ultraviolet Beta (UVB) rays which are often associated with skin cancer.

The eyes are also at risk when

exposed to excessive amounts of ultraviolet radiation and may cause short and long term problems. According to the Food and Drug Administration in Elle Magazine, doctors are worried that UVB rays can cause damage to the cornea, lens, and retina. This problem can be avoided by wearing sun glasses because they screen out the ultraviolet rays before they reach the eye.

Tanning witli sunscreen blocks majority of the UVB rays but still causes premature aging as well as skin cancer. De Leo said a "pro" to this is the "up" feeling often attributed to tanning. He said this feeling occurs because when the light enters the eye it stimulates the brains production of endorphins.

According to De Leo, tanning accelerating lotions are not approved by the FDA, because they areconsidered unproven drugs, not cosmetics. These products contain a protein called tyrosine and there is no existing evidence that this really works.

First-year student Joe Ricci said

to get a tan he used baby oil and laid out on the soccer field. He said that a few hours left him burnt to a crisp.

"I would rather be tan than white because I think everyone looks better with a tan," Ricci said.

First-year student Keith Lapp said he likes to be tan, but he does not lay out in the sun. He said he plays sports , such as basketball, out in the sun and that is usually how he gets his color.

For those people who can not devote as much time to tanning, there are methods such as self-tanning products or a few visits to the nearest tanning salon.

"Fake and Bake," as tanning in a salon is commonly referred to, is rated to be most dangerous, next to the tanning pill. Salon tanning consists of laying in a capsule type bed with ultraviolet lights on the both sides. The sessions are usually between ten and 30 minutes.

Similar to natural tanning, salon tanning causes a deeper darkening to occur in the epidermis because the lamps give off deeper penetrating Ultraviolet Alpha (UV A) rays.

These rays are often responsible foraging the skin by breaking down the fibers that give the skin its tone and can also contribute to skin cancer, causing effects of UVB rays.

Two common myths that exist about tanning are that tanning in a bed is safer than natural tanning, and a salon induced tan will protect a person from burning on a tropical vacation.

According to Doule S. Riegel, M.D., in Glamour magazine, a UV A tan offers less protection against the sun's burning UVB rays than one achieved outdoors and is equally damaging.

Sophomore Don Scioli said that he does not tan in the salon on a regular basis but he does not think doing it every once in a while is a health hazard.

According to De Leo, the safest way to get that golden glow is through self- tanning creams.

These creams contain an ingredient called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which binds together the protein in dead cells on the top layers of skin, which turns them

from yellow to brown.

This is considered the safest method of tanning because it provides color without exposure to the suns ultraviolet rays.

Also, DHA has been around for years and is known to be safe.

De Leo said 10 Maintain color the cream must be used every two to four days.

The negative aspect of self tanning is that if applied incorrectly it can cause streaking, which is a dead give away that the tan is not real.

According to De Leo, self tanning lotions may cause allergic reactions. He also said it is necessary to apply sunscreen because this tan has no protective effect.

Junior Kayce Pottichen said she likes self tanning cream because in the long run it is cheaper than the tanning salon, more convenient and less damaging.

All three tanning methods give the sameinitialresultsbutoffervariouslong term effects. Just be careful that the golden glow doesnot lead to a fatal fiy.

I have many memories for these past eight months in sports. There were the Eagles and there flying start this past football season. the Flyers and crazy eights skating into the future and Michigan's Chris Weber calling time out in desperation. So many games, so many highlights.

This whole year can be wrapped up in one single shot. It wasn ·1 a Jordan-jam or a Shaq backboard attack. Instead, it was a million dollar miracle. On April 14.

For those of you who had the opportunity to attend the first three home games of the men· s lacrosse club against St. Vincent's College and Wesley College on Sat.. April 17, Sun., April 18, and the come-from-behind 11-10 victory over Ursinus this past Sunday. you probably got your first chance to, not only see the lacrosse team play with their sticks but with their fists as well.

The first two home games were interrupted by fights.

"I went to see a fight, and then a lacrosse game broke ouc.·· Charles ·'Bud" Mellon, communications center supervisor, said.

According to Cabrini lacrosse coach Randy Mills. both benches cleared in the first game because a St. Vincent's player punched a Cabrini player, thus causing such an outburst. ·'This (both benches clearing) was mainly due to the youth and inexperience of our people,"' Mills said.

Mills added that fighting is not very commo_nin the sport of lacrosse.

"I went to many lacrosse games at my high school for years and I did not see one fight,,. sophomore Doug Eppler said.

According to co-captain, defensive player, and first-year student Tom Hafler fighting is part of the game.

Mills said that any sport where there is any kind of contact, players can often get frustrated, and they will sometimes take out these frustrations with their sticks. Those players who did not fight showed good sportsmanship in doing so.

Mi II s also said that the reason a fight broke out in the second game against Wesley was because of poor officiating.

"The game was so poorly officiated that the officials let the game get out of control. and our players just got frustrated ... Mills said.

Some of the players were unsure \vhy a fight ensued in the second game.

"I am not really sure what happened."

Senior, Joe Ewing said. "Something I ike that might be fun to watch, but it should not happen. I hope that it does

Junior Joe Opiela added. "It (fighting) is a pure example of what happens when the teams feel the momentum in a game shifting."

Mills did add that there sometimes is a positive side to fighting in a game.

"Sometimes it is good because it can bind most teams as a family,'' he said.

Mills continued by saying that sometimes players can become frustrated, as ours did in the 14- 7 loss to Wesley, and something like this can happen. but this game does not take the presence of hockey. ''Lacrosse is definitely more violent than hockey:· Reginald Moore. first year student and team trainer, said.

"It is the officials and the coach ·s job to control the players and prevent fight-

ing," Mills said.

In their last home match. Sunday, against Ursinus, the Cavs trailed 8-2 at halftime.

Mills gave a halftime speech that spurred the team towards the comeback victory.

According to Sophomore Keith Blackwell, Mills told the team to get their heads into the game because C rsinus was not a team that they should lose to.

Blackwell ended up scoring four goals in the game. However, he said. "Everybody con;ributed to the victory. Brian Siatowski scored a goal, Joe Opiela had a nice a~si~t.

Alan Fitzgerald scored some key goals. and the crowd really helped out."

With the 11-10 victory, the team has drawn itself within one game of a .500 season. They finish up this weekend with an away game at Sacred Heart College.

Ah, the last he said, she said of the semester. The last he said. she said of my life. It feels great to finally be rid of this great burden hanging on my back every week. I must say though it gave me the opportunity to get over my fear of having my name over something I have written. When the picture went up there with it I must admit I was less then thrilled.

To all of the guys out there I say, "you are welcome" for the good laugh you got to have once a week.

Thanks for saying it all behind my back instead of to my face. Well, most of you anyway. To the ones that did not, I say "thank you for the criticism. If you did not like what I had to say, you could have written a letter to the editor. I also am glad I had the opportunity to choose a surfer as the sportsman of the Yfar.

Hedtke'shittersfinishstrongdespitelossto Beaver in PAC championshipsemifinals

by Bob Macartney assistant sports editor The softball team accomplished something this season that they had never done before. Courtesy of their 32-6 victory over Immaculata College in the first game of a doubleheader last Friday. the Lady Cavs made it to the first championships in their history.

In their first season in the newlyformed Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC), Coach Jim Hedtke's team finished with a 4-2 record, good enough to make it to the inaugural championship tournament of the league.

First-year student Nikki Rose was the winning pitcher in the opener of the doubleheader against Immaculata.

In the second game of the twinbill.

the Lady Cavs defeated Immaculata by the score of 17-8. They trailed this game 8-3 going into the top of the seventh inning. They scored 14 runs in the seventh to come away with a sweep of the doubleheader.

Sophomore Lisa Hedtke was the winning pitcher m that game.

The Lady Cavs then faced Beaver in the PAC Championships on Saturday.

Once again, Rose took the mound. In a hard fought game, Cabrini was defeated 4-0. Beaver went on to win the championships by beating Alvernia, 11-2.

Despite the loss. sophomore Jennifer Bodick said that she felt "really good to make it to the championship game."

Bodick added that it took a total team effort to defeat Immaculata and said reaching the championship game was "a real achievement for the team.''

Junior Charlyne Adams agreed with

Bodick. According to Adams, everyone played well in the doubleheader against lmmaculata.

Adams added, "We have nothing to be depressed about. We started out the season 0-8. and we came back to win eight of our last ten games.

We really are a good team."

Adams also said that she considered this past season a rebuilding year because the team had to replace many key players from last year's team.

According to Adams, next year will be the year for this squad because they are only losing two seniors.

Adams said, "Although those two players will be missed. they can be replaced."

Although the Lady Cavs did not come out victorious in the championships this season. they have laid the groundwork for a return visit to the championships.
