Student Development .changes with campus

by Steve May co-news editor

Many changes have taken place at Cabrini over the summer. From changes in staff and faculty to physical appearance of the campus to increased enrollment, many aspects of Cabrini have changed.

Those changes have affected students in many ways, but the department that deals with students the most has changed a great deal.

Student Development, formerly called Student Services, has changed dramatically over the summer. The most obvious change is in the department's name, but Vice President for Student Development Robert Bonfiglio said the name change was necessary.

The services that Student Development provides are varied though. Resident Life, Student Activities, Career Services, Counseling, Health Services, Campus Ministry and Public Safety are offices within the Student Development department. These. departments all provide different services to the college and have all un-

dergone internal changes over the summer.

In the Student Activities office, there is a new director, Marianne DeFruscio. Defruscio previously served the school as assistant director of resident life for the past two and a half years.

Before coming to Cabrini, DeFruscio worked as an area coordinator at Wheeling Jesuit College in West Virginia. She originally entered Cabrini as a first-year student before achieving her bachelor's degree at Penn State University.

DeFruscio officially began her new position in July. Her first role was to conduct and coordinate this summer's college orientation. So far this semester her department has hosted the Welcome Back Bash, Big Brother/Sister dinner, drive-in movie, karaoke, a fish bow I dance and the club fair. photo by Eric Barbuscia

EAr-ollmentFeacAesrecord numbers

by Heather McAllister editor in chief

Enrollment has hit its greatest peak in a decade, with 227 firstyear students entering Cabrini in the fall of 1993. The number of first-year student acceptances, 497, is the most since 1990, while the number of rejected first-year students, 32, is the lowest figure since 1990.

Janet Shoemaker, coordinator of the college success program, said 38 percent of first-year students, or 89 students total, are general studies students. According to the CARe center's Barbara Rubin, incoming students are placed in the general studies program when their qualifications for college are risky.

Rubin said some students have

lower SAT scores or grade point averages than other students do.

These students do not qualify for general admission to the college, Rubin said. However, the students are accepted after review by an admissions committee, according to Gardner.

"Something in the student's record indicates they will succeed at the college level," Rubin said.

"For instance, if a student has a low SAT score and a high grade point average, we can suspect the student is not a good test taker. Otherwise they may achieve at a very high level and be a successful student."

Shoemaker said there are many reasons a student might fall into the general studies category. Some students may have had family problems or a high school program that was not rigorous, Shoemaker said.

"We build on the strengths and rectify the weeknesses of these students," Shoemaker said. '·We provide a lot of outreach to all students but especially the general studies students."

Accordingto the weeklyAdmissionsReport,dated Sept. 10, 1993, applications,acceptancesand enrollmentsfor the fall semesterof 1993 are at a record high. Reasons for these increasesinclude a restructuringof admissionsand financialaid, a reported90 percent retentionrate of studentsand additionalsupportfor generalstudies students.However,this year's enrollmentgoal is not yet known.

According to Shoemaker, some of the programs that support general studies students are tutoring and the college success seminar program.

"We have seven success seminars of general studies students," Shoemaker said. "The advisers are particularly atuned to their students' needs. All students need support, and general studies students are not radically different from others."

Despite the number of incoming students that lack accepted credentials for admission, Nancy Gardner, executive director of admissions and financial aid, said the quality of incoming students has not diminished.

According to Gardner. SAT average is not a good indicator of success, and the admissions staff concentrates instead on high school

Spices fly around the kitchen as I pour myself a cup of black coffee.

I can hear my two sisters fighting upstairs for appropriate shower time.

Their ear-piercing voices haunt my elderly Doberman Pinscher's ears as she howls back. Chaos is immediately created in the DiMarco household.

My younger sister, Lianne, constantly complains about attending mass every Sunday. Often times she will wander downstairs and find a resting place on the kitchen table. My mother will repeatedly reprimand Lianne until she removes herself from the table.

The youngest of the bunch, Elayne, spends all of her quality time applying three coats of mascara and plenty of hair spray. Elayne wakes up with an allotted time space to complete her Sunday school homework. She also has a knack for yelling about the way her bangs look and why Christ turned water into wine.

As soon as the family arrives in the kitchen to leave for church, we all make sure to dip a piece of bread in the sauce to test it out before we can make our departure. (If anybody was wondering, we do not call tomato sauce "gravy" because we believe gravy is for turkey, not for macaroni.)

After we return from church, every family member saunters off and attends to their pre-dinner festivities. My father and I will sit in front of the television to enjoy the plenitude of footballs games. Lianne will find a comfortable spot in the house, settle herself and drift into a short cat nap. Elayne will consume the telephone for hours, until we surgically remove it from her ear. The dinner preparations are left in the hands of my mother.

At about 2 p.m., we all gather around the kitchen table for Sunday dinner. I know most of the "metagons" (people without an Italian background) figure dinner only occurs at night. Italian families call this "Sunday dinner" because it

dinners are not nearly as large as before.

The Sunday bonding our family had once relied on to guide us through the week is now non-existent. We no longer gather together for Sunday dinners.

Everyone has traveled in their separate directions, and I long for our Sundays to become habitual once again. For the time being, I will sleep past noon and eat Seiler's cafeteria food. I guess things cannot get worse.

Student government drafts plans and hopes

by Danielle D/Marco

managing& perspectives editor

Before the first leaf tumbles to the ground, the Student Government Association Executive Board will have already been hard at work. With their noses to the grindstone, they have recovered from last year turmoils and are ready to begin working off the foundation that was created before them.

Mike Tims, president, has been placed at the helm of SGA and has proven his leadership abilities throughout the leadership conference and the fall semester. Tims, who is also captain of the men's soccer team, juggles many activities but maintains his delegations by "being fair to each one," Tims said.

A leader on and off the field, Tims said his fellow members of SGA carried him during soccer camp. It was hard for him to split up his time, but he tried not to cheat either one.

A personal goal set by Tims is listening to the voice of the students.

"Last year SGA didn't hear the voice of the students. I want to give them what they want," Tims said.

Tims also said he looked at SGA last year and wants to make it better.

"The only way you can do it better," Tims said, "is to look back."

Patricia Daley, vice president, said this year SGA has the potential to improve. She said there is a diverse group to work with and they work well together. Daley has been a member of SGA for two years. Her sophomore year she was sophomore class vice president and recording secretary executive board her junior year.

Looking at this present year, she believes in organization. The semester events have been planned out until Christmas. Daley and Social Activities Assistant Lisa Gambacorta are working together on this year's Haunted House.

Gambacorta said the only difference this year for the Haunted House will be the co-ed floors in Xavier.

Daley tentatively plans to have a scary character go out to local schools to promote the event.

The gala will involve students, faculty, staff and administrators. The event is scheduled to take place in the atrium.

Mauro spoke with the president about

'SGA is pulling together as a board,' -Beth Mulvihill, Social Activities Chairperson creating a similar atmosphere as the inaugural ball.

Tims agreed with the idea because he views the event as an opportunity for faculty, staff and students to interact outside the classroom.

ate news editor of the Loquitur. Ohlandt said "Instead of making the news, I want to create the news."

Ohlandt views SGA as a venue to produce fun for students on campus.

Ohlandt said Tims will accurately represent the voice of the student body.

"SGA is pulling together as a board," Beth Mulvihill, social activities chairperson, said. Mulvihill said there are new people in SGA and they are just getting to know one another. Mauro, Gambacorta, Daley and Mulvihill have been part of SGA Executive Board before and are incorporating Tims and Ohlandt into the board.

Marianne DeFruscio, director of student activities, describes SGA Executive Board as "dynamic" and "full of energy." When DeFruscio met with SGA during leadership conference, she said they set goals and expectations of one another.

After the conference concluded, DeFruscio said the meetings made everyone feel in sync. Jennifer Ferris,

recording secretary, was not present at this year's leadership conference.

DeFruscio mentioned that SGA is planning on not only creating events, but attending them also.

Most of the officers of the executive board attended last weekend's Welcome Back Reggae Bash. Gambcorta said the attendance for the bash was not as big as last year, but overall it was a success.

For the second year in a row, neighbors in the Radnor area complained about the noise. The Radnor Township Police informed SGA the band was too loud. The band was ready to pack it up and leave when a couple of students offered to help them move their equipment over to the gathering area. "It is nice to see student involvement," Gambacorta said.

SGA has an assortment of events for students to attend. Check the tentative schedule of events for the fall semester for '93. Also, look for future plans under construction for November and December in later issues of Loquitur.

wrong spot.

Soon the '60s arrived and the skirt began getting shorter and shorter and shorter. In the '20s, they reached an all time shortness of just above the knee. In the '60s, this record broke.

In the '30s the short skirts of the '20s got long again because of political and religious reasons. In the '60s there was no reason for it to go long.

At the end of the '60s two new styles of wear arrived. The space outfits and the seethrough clothes.

Films like "Maroc 7" and "Clive" popularized the space-age look.

Designers like Yves Saint-Laurent, Rudi Gerneiich and Courreges created the seethrough clothing. Every inch of the body could be seen, and there was nothing underneath to hide it. This type of clothing could not last long.

With the '70s, clothes began to cover the body. One of the biggest fads was the bellbottoms. People did not expect to see these clothes for a long time once they left in the late '70s. Little did the fashion world know that these jeans would return to fashion in the '90s.

Now clothes are a hodge -podge of past fashions. There are the bell bottoms, the hippie dresses of the '"60s,and clogs. One of the only fads guaranteed not to come back is the see-through clothes.

Dress of the d-ay

by Gary White

This was also the time when the pantalets Adults wore these in England and America, but they were for the young in France.

The late nineteenth century was Empress Eugenie's time. She dictated fashion for the world. Eugenie would change her clothes often, and the world would change with her. This was also the time when the bathing suit was first introduced.

The late nineteenth century also introduced the bicycle. Because of this sports clothing were introduced.

In the early twentieth century, skirts were raised six inches, and so were people's eyebrows. Some of the fads of this time were sleeping pajamas, slippers, spats and the "short" bathing suit.

The bathing suit ventured above the knee!

The bathing suit was the only thing getting short. Women's hair, which had .always been long, began to get shorter and shorter. By the 1920s, the bob hair style was in.

Paris fashion industry began to dictate fashion in the early 1900s. Soon, Hollywood would take a large part in setting style.

In the Clark Gable movie, "It Happened One Night," Gable helped ruin the undershirt industry by not wearing one. Men stopped buying undershirts because the "King of Hollywood" did not wear one.

The dress of the '40s was cQaracterized by the plaid suit with square shoulders. The skirts were just below the knee, and sensible shoes were worn.

Also, bats were very popular. A good idea of what was worn can be seen by watching any wartime movie or TV program.

After the war, Christian Dior introduced "The New Look." This fashion had a longer skirt, square-padded shoulders, and a waist in the right place.

Between the two world wars, army fashion became popular. Army surplus stores popped-up and men were shopping for clothes from past wars. Knee length overcoats and trench coats were the style.

In the '50s women began to get more relaxed, but proper. The poodle skirt became the hit with the younger set. The skirts bad a dog on the front with a leash attached. Now these skirts symbolize the good girl in old movies.

Fifties fashion also began to revert back to the '20s. Dresses were straight, short and pale with the waist in the

teawtes,arts& enteriainment ea,to, were introduced.

There was a time when poodles were walked and not worn and clogs were in your drain and not on your feet. There was also a time when bell-bottoms were considered the height of tackiness and now they are making a stylish comeback. The expression "everything old is new again" is very appropriate in fashion. Many things people did not expect to see again are on their way back.

Fads in fashion have been around for a long time. The fifteenth century was the first time dress moved from comfort centered to appearance centered.

One of the first fads was tight waist skirts. Also, more accessories were added. Rings, veils, hats and feathers were very popular.

Towards the end of this century, royalty began to set the fashion. Queen

Anne of Brittany helped launch a new type of head wear. The style of the day was the long pointy hat, and Queen Anne introduced a smaller, puffed cap.

In the sixteenth century, the hoop skirt first arrived. This fashion would pop-up every so often through the years.

Also, the corset became a very essential part of a woman's wardrobe. Through the decade the corset would become longer, tighter and steel!

Towards the end of the 1700s, the American revolution was taking place, and fashion became as strict as the army.

Every part of a woman's body bad something on it.

After the war, this style ended and less clothes were being worn. The sheer fabric of the Egyptians returned and no undergarments were worn.

It was not long until woman returned to the corset and the small waistline.

One-acts set-.forfall editor mcnier

Students are playing expanded roles in the theaterdepartment this fall as some step to the other side of the footlights to direct their peers. Audiences will experience not one but four productions this semester, and three are student-directed.

The first production, "Fantasy Restaurant," will be performed during Family Weekend, October 2 and 3, and at the end of the semester as a "study-buster."

The·other fall plays are one-acts "by students, for students" and will be presented in the new coffee house, the Red Cloud, on November 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13.

"You Can't Trust the Male," written

by Randy Noojin, is directed by Senior Dann Trotter, and Senior Courtney O'Connor directs Wendy Wasserstein's "Boy Meets Girl."

The third student-directed play is "Graceland," written by Ellen Byron and directed by Sophomores Nina Sciarotta and Karen Szczurek.

The choice of "Graceland" as one of the fall plays is unique because Sciarotta and Szczurek will be directing themselves, with some assistance from Theater Director Neal Newman.

Szczurek said she and Sciarotta performed a scene from "Graceland" in their acting class last semester.

"Neal had an open slot for a one-act, and he thought our piece would fit right in," Szczurek said. "I'm really excited because this is a chance to perform something we've done by ourselves in front of a larger audience than in class."

Szczurek said all the one-acts wili appeal to the student body because students will be supporting other students.

"Cabrini is very concerned about getting students involved," Szczurek said.

Neal Newman, Courtney O'Connor and Dann Trotter discuss plans for the one-act plays they will be directing, "Fantasy Restaurant, "You Can't Trust the Male,· "Boy Meets Girl" and "Graceland.•

"Hopefully people will realize those are their friends up there."

Trotter said he selected ''You Can't Trust the Male" because he felt the characters are two people to whom average, ordinary students can relate.

"These characters have been through the angst people our age have been through," Trotter said. "They are not far out of our league."

According to Trotter, "You Can't Trust the Male" is a two-person play about trust in relationships. The character Harvey is a quiet man who has been hurt and just ended a relationship.

Because of his lack of self-confidence

and self-esteem, he retreats from the world, Trotter said.

The other character in the play, Laura, has been through the same pain, Trotter said, but deals with it differently.

She attacks the world openly and bitterly and does not retreat from conflict, according to Trotter.

Trotter, a history major, said he decided to direct a play this semester because he always has loved the theater.

"I'd like to give it a try, being on the other side of the stage, for a change," Trotter said. "I think student directors have an ability to think on the same level of the actors and can relate better.

We blend well together."

O'Connor, an English major, said she is directing a one-act play because she would like to go to graduate school for theater directing.

"This is a good opportunity to get a taste for what I'd be doing," O'Connor said.

O'Connor described her "Boy Meets Girl" as a "modern-day fairy tale" centered around the relationship of Dan, Molly, their respective psychiatrists and the Queen of the Helmseley Hotel.

Dan and Molly are both struggling to deal with daily living and having a relationship at the same time, O'Connor said.

"This is still a fairy tale story, as the title says," 0 'Connor said, "but with all the late '80s and early '90s intricacies.

These are problems we still have to face."

O'Connor said students will relate to her play because they can see the characters working through their problems. '·We're trying to start relationships, but our relationships are so detailed," O'Connor said. "Dan and Molly are not much older than students, and they have the same problems."

Newman said the directors selected their own plays based on what students would want to watch.

"In order to have plays that are of interest to students," Newman said, ·'we need student directors to present the plays. Then students will respond to them."

Newman said he will continue supporting student efforts in the theater.

"Theater is a community service," Newman said. "With the coffee house opening, students with a theater project could use it as a venue. The strongest invitation I can give students is one-acts 'by students, for students."'

As the espresso drips from the silver pot and the guitarist strums a six-string, the crowd at the Red Cloud coffee house discusses the latest John Grisham novel. A pattering of applause escorts the soloist from the platform as a young poet perches on a stool.

Where is this haven of individualism located? The Red Cloud does not coalese over New York, San Francisco, Philly or any other glittering metropolis. This is the coffee house of Cabrini College.

Students, faculty and staff have a new option for evening entertainment. The theater department is opening a coffee house, the Red Cloud, in the black box-style theatre.

Theater Director Neal Newman said he developed the idea of a coffee house by talking with students.

"Students say there is nothing to do here," Newman said, "and we have the theater department. We can't have plays very often, so we need a place for students to go at night. Hopefully the coffee house will become THE place to go on campus."

The name Red Cloud is appropriate because, as Newman explained, red fabric will cover the ceiling and be draped throughout the black theatre. Newman said there is no separation between the stage and audience because tables are placed throughout the coffee house.

According to Senior Belinda Desher, student manager of the Red Cloud, "The coffee house design will have a continuous flow.

Desher said the coffee house will be a funky place with a dark, relaxing atmosphere.

"People can discuss classes or social life," Desher said. "I consider the coffee house our own collection of scholars."

Newman said the coffee house will be a place for everyone on campus, not just students, to hang out, while soft music plays.

There will be entertainment at the coffee house frequently, according to Newman.

"Many people have come out already to audition for the coffee house," Newman said, "and I've discovered talents I didn't know about."

Sophomores Karen Szczurek, Nina Sciarotta and Brenda Ortiz are organizing a music ensemble that will perform in the coffee house. Szczurek said approximately 14 students already are interested in joining the ensemble. All instruments, including string, brass and woodwind, are needed for the ensemble, Szczurek said.

"We will have a total mix of music, from classical to rock and roll music," Szczurek said.

Desher said she welcomes ideas for entertainment, and she envisions a mixed bag of events. Cavalier Attitudes, the college comedy troupe, will perform frequently and compete with other comedians in Theater Sports, Desher said. She also said she loves the idea of storytelling, an open mike and theme nights.

"We want the coffee house to give exposure to performers in different areas of the arts," Desher said.

Coffee house auditions will be held tonight, Thursday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m. in the Grace Hall Theater. Comics, storytellers, singers, poets, actors and musicians, as well as any other type of talent, is needed.

Desher said she wants the coffee house to be just as exciting as last April's Inaugural Ball, held in the atrium. According to Desher, the ball was a big hit because it was one of the only events where students, faculty and staff came together and had fun.

"We were all meshing together," Desher said. "We want to transfer that energy from the atrium to the theatre. The coffee house can be a real plus for Cabrini because students, faculty and staff can come together and just talk."

Newman said he has urged faculty members to find ways to use the coffee house.

"This is an opportunity for relaxed discussions other than in a classroom atmosphere," Newman said.

Newman said he is hopefulthat the theater's strong reputation will help the coffee house succeed. The coffee house will be open for the entire year but, Newman said, it will be closed down in May if nobody shows up.

The Red Cloud is not the college's first coffee house. According to the March 14, 1972 issue of Loquitur, the Prism coffee house opened that year on Saturday, February 26, in the smoker in Grace Hall. The article stated the coffee house was run by students Sue White, Kathy Ramos, Patti Berry and Rita DiRenzo and, on opening night, competed with a popular Villanova-LaSalle basketball game on television.

The first performer in the coffee house was a Merion Mercy Academy student

named Sue McDermott, a singer and guitarist. Loquitur reporter Bob Colameco reported "while I was watching her I couldn't help but see in her style, her voice and her songs visions of Joni Mitchell in her early '2nd Fret' days."

The Prism coffee house was open every other Saturday night, with performances at 8 and 10 p.m. It was named Prism because it sought to be "the instrumentthrough which the creative talents of anyone may be expressed and performed," according to Loquitur.

Desher said Cabrini's newest coffee house will open on November 5, and the studentdirected one-act plays will be performed in the coffee house on November 9, Cabrini Spirit Day.Ha staff keeps the coffee house running, Desher said, it will be open five nights a week, from Wednesday to Sunday.

"The coffee house will build a good support network for all of us," Desher said. "I want it to be better than 'Cats.' I want people to see it again and again."

On Jan. 25, 1949, the first Emmy was awarded to the creators of "The Necklace," an episode from "Your Show Time." They received it for best film made for television.

It was th~ only award distributed that year.

OnSept.19, 366Emmyswillbegivenout in categories ranging from best drama series to best animated program. The winners are picked by a panel of television writers, producers, directors and actors. Who will win is not released until the envelope is opened.

Some of the shows hoping to win this year are "Law & Order," "Home Improvement" and "Murphy Brown." The show with the most possibilities is "Northern Exposure." It is nominated for 16 emmys. The same number it received last year, although it only won six.

This year could also be a big one for ''Cheers." It has been nominated for eight awards. If it wins three of them it will tie "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" for the most emmy awards. If it wins four awards it will top "Mary" and have 30 statuettes. Cheers is also the show with the most emmy nominations, 117 in its 11-year run!

Something new this year is the possibility of"The Simpsons" competing against traditional comedies, like "Seinfeld." In past years it was relegated to competition against other animated programs. Unfortunately for this show it was not given the chance to see how it would fair against these shows. It was not nominated for an award.

Another comedy that was passed up for a nomination, although it was the number two show in the ratings last year, is "Roseanne."

However, Roseanne Arnold and John Goodman have both been nominated for their roles on the show.

Another strange occurrence is HBO receiving 55 nominations. This is the same number ABC received. 11 of the 55 nominations went to the HBO made for TV movie, "Citizen Cohn." This number tied "Citizen Cohn" with "Seinfeld" for second place in number of emm y nominations this year. This showing demonstrates how cable channels are becoming stronger competition for the major networks.

Some sentimental picks went to "Homefront" and "I'll Fly Away" for best drama series. Both shows were canceled this year due to lack of ratings. Sam Waterson and Regina Taylor were also nominated for their roles in "I'll Fly Away."

and the DJ mixed in the Gypsy Kings. Everyone went wild. I don't think anyone was sitting down.

Then Bobby Brown's "Good Enough" came on, and everyone sat down. There was not even a sly on the dance floor.

I have come to the conclusion that Moroccans find it easier to dance to very fast paced music than to a medium groove type of music. Moroccan music is similar to Spanish music and is made up of complex rhythms. It was very hard for me to find a constant beat.

The rhythms in Moroccan music are never slow or medium tempo. For this reason, the people in the dance clubs were more comfortable with techno than R&B. This does not mean they do not like medium grooved music. Moroccans love to dance to anything. They love to have a good time, just like everyone else.

Some Moroccan friends of mine told me they do not care if they can understand the song's lyrics. What makes a song enjoyable is the ability to dance to it. If they find someone to translate the meaning of the song, then all the better. But if they just go on without having a clue about the lyrics, it is really no less to them.

What gave me a clear understanding of Moroccan culture, customs, traditions and people was being able to stay at my friend's home. I was constantly surrounded by his family and' friends. This made it easy to observe their natural behavior, especially when it was time to eat.

Eating was a totally different experience for me. I thought I would have to sit Indianstyle on the floor, while a belly-dancer roamed around the room.

Fortunately there were not belly-dancers.

They reside in southern Morocco. We also never sat on the floor to eat.

At times I did feel sick from the food, but only because his family was overly generous with the portions. We rarely ate with utensils.

Insteadwe used a piece of bread,our thumb and first two fingers. Although some people would turn their nose up at eating with their fingers, I found it to be an opportunity to experience something different in life.

Watching snakes slithering freely in a public square, camels sauntering along the hot desert sand in Maracas and absorbing a beautiful Moroccan sunrise as my plane landed in Casablanca are things many people never get to experience. Many want to go to an exotic country like Morocco, but it is rare when the dream gets fulfilled.

I never dreamed about going to Morocco, but I did end up in Casablanca. I am not sure if I will ever go back. I do not think so.

Trips like this only knock on the door of opportunity once in a lifetime. Besides, even if I do not go back, it would not be a big deal.

I will always be satisfied with the refreshing memories that I have now and for the rest of my life.

Seminar 300 receivesfederal grant

by Doug Eppler copy editor & writingcoach The college's Seminar 300 program, the Common Good, recently received a substantial endowment via a grant by the Department of Education. Over the next three years, the program will receive $100,000 for the development of a student literacy ·core centered at the Paul V. Fly school in Norristown, Pa. Dr. Sharon Schwarze, chairperson of the philosophy department and the curriculum committee, said Tuesday the college received the grant for the core near the end of August and will apply a portion of the value towards the employment of a coordinator for the Seminar 300 program.

In addition, the grant will allow for the rental of a van to shuttle volunteers to the suburban elementary school and the training of volunteers in literacy tutoring. As chair of the curriculum committee, Schwarze found the application for the grant before her last year. It was completed in mid-May. "Basically, the kids in the Seminar 300 program have been sort of flying by the seat of their pants," Schwarze said. ''This gives a project that people

who don't know what they want to do can tie into."

Schwarze added that students will actually tutor students at the Fly school oi in one of six day care centers run by a faculty member of the Fly scho9l.

In addition, the grant will provide salaries for student coordinators responsible for a day's schedule of volunteers, locations and times. Each coordinator will monitor and be held responsible for one day of the week. Student coordinators will receive $250 for such work.

Those interested in the positions should contact Schwarze.

According to Schwarze, training of the Sem 300 students will begin next week and will cover not only what to include in the tutoring sessions but also how to deal with the limitations volunteers will face. She noted that volunteers may not always be able to help as much as they would like. Training sessions will include tips on how much volunteers can and cannot help beyond the books.

Tb.e grant is a two-year grant, according to Schwarze, for which the college will reapply at the end of those two years.

She said the program eventually will expand to include the families of the pupils and finance the testing of both

the pupils and their families to determine their aptitude and attitudes towards education and literacy.

Professors and creators of the seminar are looking for approximately 20 volunteers each semester to assist in the literacy program. Students and faculty not enrolled in Sem 300 are also welcome to volunteer.

Schwarze noted the core and its basis in Norristown are the results of the faculty's wish to "adopt" a school. "The students and the faculty, too, I think, felt that it would be nice to have one project that's distinctly ours." she said.

Schwarze attributes the selection of the Norristown school to the "scouting" of Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson of the English/Communications department, who spent a portion of his sabbatical last semester searching for the proper location for Cabrini's literacy core.

"I'm the project director but (Zurek's) really been a big help, and he's really committed to this," she said.

Although located in a suburban setting, the Paul V. Fly school attracts students of low-income homes who are likely to experience ESL (English as a Second Language) problems in their education.

The school's population of approximately 600 students boasts over 15 lan-

guages spoken fluently within its ranks.

Approximately 20 minutes from Cabrini, the Fly school has been a volunteer site for the past two years.

Schwarze described the principal of the school, Teresa Carfagno, as a dynamo. "She's just what a teacher should be. Her focus is all on the students and the students• needs," she said. Cabrini alumna Peggy Emmerich is the teacher coordinator for the program at the Fly school.

"I think it can really be exciting for Cabrini," Schwarze said. "I hopeful , very hopeful, that the college community as a whole can get involved with this. I think that it's something that can bring us into the Norristown community more, too, because there are lots of needs there and you sort of don't know the needs until you get out there and experience them."

There are currently four seminar 300 courses offered by the day school and two offered by the night school.

The course requires all students to do a minimum of ten hours of community involvement and is inspired by the mission of the college. The program began two years ago and is required for graduation from the college.

the equivalent in the Wigwam.

Fitzgerald is currently negotiating with Seiler's food service for more money toward the meal exchange.

Fitzgerald plans to have improved health education programs, more availability of professional staff during office hours and more thorough evaluation of services of the professional staff and MAs. The professional staff of the Public Safety department, formerly Security, is also making themselves more available.

According to Director of Public Safety Richard Kralle, this semester is the first in which all officers will be wearing identical uniforms and hats.

"We are having all of our officers wear hats for visibility," Kralle said.

"Students have come to me and said that they couldn't distinguish security from students. Now they can identify them by the hats."

Kralle also said that three of his officers have undergone Pennsylvania

State Police Academy for training in security. Officers Marsha Hayes, Thomas McCoy and Richard Scattergood are all trained under Act 235. "Now all the full-timers are certified," Kralle said.

Other plans Public Safety has for the year are more security-related training programs and Operation Alert.

Each guard is responsible for offering training programs.

The first was hosted last Monday on the topic of rape.

Operation Alert involves the sales and distribution of security alarms. Alarms will be demonstrated at the programs and can be purchased through Kralle.

Bonfiglio said trends that began in his department last year will be continued. He said he was very excited with the new members in the department and to the challenge of the year.

"I look forward to the continuation of good trends," Bonfiglio said. "There will be some anxious moments, but I would like to think those would be temporary and manageable."

more DEVELOPMENT from 1 She thinks she is fitting easily with the rest of the campus because she knows most of the students and many of them know her.

DeFruscio's goals for the year are to increase the amount of activities provided on weekends, help SGA achieve their goals, particularly to improve their image, and to work collaboratively with the other campus departments in programming events.

Another new face with new goals is Heidi Levine, the director of the counseling center.

Levine's goals for the year include building strong relationships with faculty. She said this is important because faculty can often be the first to know if there are problems with students.

Her main goal, though, is just to get to know people. She wants to asses the needs of the college and see how well the center has been meeting them.

When asked about how she was adjusting to Cabrini, Levine said so far, so good. "For the past two weeks I have been straightening up my office and getting settled in," Levine said.

Levine said she hopes to work on building connections for the first semester. She also wants to have more programs on communication skills and gay/lesbian issues. But otherwise she said not many changes have been made in the center.

With the departure of Sr. Bernadette Anello, Campus Ministry is now being headed by both Fr. Ambrose Cashman and Francesca Bansbach.

"We'll miss sister, but this is a new year and we are taking up this new challenge," Bansbach said. "We are looking forward to a good year."

Ambrose and Bansbach both see their collaboration in the office as being a model for the school and community.

"I hope we'll act as models displaying many different combos, such as cleric/layperson and male/female," Ambrose said.

Bansbach said she sees Campus Ministry as reaching out a lot more to people and including everyone. She wishes to encourage people to be more positive and open to new ideas and open to change.

Cashman echoes these ideas with his goals. He said his goals for the year are to make students aware of who they are.

Stacey Norden, Director of Career Services, also said she wishes for students to know who and where her office is. This summer, the office was moved to Grace Hall to fill the spot left open by Resident Life.

Norden said she thinks that the new location makes more sense because it is adjacent to the Co-op office. Career service works very closely with Co-op when placing students in jobs.

Besides the change in location, Norden said that Career Services will still provide all of its previous services, including interviewing techniques, resume writing, career fair and professional practices for seniors, such as dress for success and corporate dining. ' Norden also said that the SIGI system is available for all students.

According to Norden, SIGI is a system where students can come to the office and match their interests to possible careers.

"We haven't made much changes yet," Norden said, "but hopefully we will be able to interact with Co-op for a Jot more."

But Sue Fitzgerald of Health Services said not much has changed in her office. She said that besides the hiring of new medical assistants, she will be continuing the program of meal exchange.

This program allows students with classes from 4:30- 7: 10 p.m. who have meal plans to exchange the meal for

Gardner admitted Cabrini has accepted some "riskier" students this year, many of whom are financially or academically disadvantaged. This was mandated by the statefunded Act 101, Gardner said.

Barbara Rubin, of the CARe center, explained Act 101 is a state-fundedprogram that sometimes overlaps with the credentials of general studies students.Because Act 101 is funded by the state, Rubin said, students must be Pennsylvania residents and have financial need.

"The state asks us to provide counseling, such as learning skills, academic skills and emotional impediments to learning," Rubin said. "We also offer tutoring and other services."

Bee-lieve it or not PhilliesPhever

by Doug Eppler

copy editor & writing coach

Editor's note: the following is an exaggeration based on actual events. We present it as lighter reading. It is, however, only slightly exaggerated.

Sports fans, you missed it. The fight of the century was not on Pay per View.

It did not take place in Vegas. It did not e.ven involve two men. Rather the fight of the century took place last Tuesday on the 110 rolling acres of Cabrini in the modest yet spacious accommodations of House 5, room 9. At 10:34 p.m., what has been described as a "Jurassic bee" entered the room of junior Bob Macartney and sophomore Nate Carter.

Over two hours later, the ordinarily disorganized suite was in pieces, five Cabrini males emerged battered and shaken, and one of the largest bees ever recorded on this continent bat its wings no more.

The saga began as Carter had just settled into yet another game of John Madden football on his roommates overtaxed Sega Genesis in a mind-altering clash with a guest identified only as the Fugitive. A few minutes into the first quarter, Carter's neighbors, sophomores Mark Zimmer and Brian Mooney, noticed what Zimmer described as "the biggest bee I have ever seen" dart through the hallway and into Carter's room.

Petrified, Zimmer and Mooney did

the only thing they could to save Carter and his mystery gue&t-they shrieked.

Carter and company could only watch as the gargantuan insect inspected his new territory. Within seconds, the monster abandoned his attack of the trembling overhead light and bolted into the open closet and Carter's tub of soap and bathroom supplies. There he would sit for nearly an hour.

Macartney returned to his collegiate domicile to find four Cabrini males cowering near the smoking Genesis. After a quick briefing, the junior joined them.

Shortly thereafter, junior Doug Eppler strolled onto the scene, only to be told to take cover. The standoff continued this way for another 20 minutes.

After debating strategies and life insurance options, the motley team of would-be exterminators chose the old standard-bump the tub of supplies and run like the wind. Eppler crept forward, raised a shaky hand and shook the tub ever so slightly. The bee was not amused.

Buzzing his fury, he offered one warning and returned to his closet. Again Eppler approached, shook and ran. The bee had had enough.

With wings spanning more than two inches, the prehistoric honey-lover shot to the air. Panicking, Eppler yelled, "It's airborne," and joined his comrades at the other end of the hall.

After catching his breath, Macartney then stepped forward armed with an

Shaping□ p over the summer

by Doug Eppler copy editor

& wrttmg coach

For the average Cabrini athlete, a typical workout includes two or three miles of running followed by varying hours in the weight room. Drills in ball handling, accuracy and speed consume large portions of ballplayers' days. Runners face the same ominous hill morning after morning.

Indeed, nearly every Cabrini athlete devotes him or herself to grueJing practices, gallons of sweat and the pain of the game. Yet many of them face these daily challenges in the blazing heat of the summer months. From Sacred Heart Hall to the Edith Robb Dixon field, Cavaliers of every kind "just do it."

Tammy Pfeiffenberger, junior, trained over the summer for the current field hockey season. Using a program designed by her father, she biked and ran every other day and lifted weights.

Beginning at the end of the last semester, the returning hockey player kept to her schedule through proper scheduling.

"It's all in your mind," Pfeiffenberger said.

Pfeiffenberger's teammate, Sophomore Chris Calvert, practiced with her alma mater's team at Delaware Valley H.S. in the Poconos in addition to her running. She said working with a large group kept her motivated to keep practicing.

Calvert added that the toughest part of her training was forcing herself to keep running "without losing my breath and being sore the next day."

Junior Lindo Sabatini found support and motivation from a group of friends at home and fellow lacrosse players at the college.

Sabatini's squad ran at home and currently run around the cam-

Last week in the world of sports

by Kelly McDonald co-news editor

Green Bays Defensive End Reggie White left the Eagles as a free agent in search of a winning team. Last Sunday, White probably wished he was wearing his old green and white uniform when the Eagles pulled off a 20-17 victory over the Packers.

The odds were against them.

They were coming up against their former "Minister of Defense."

Randall Cunningham returned to the field where he suffered his 1991 season ending knee injury. Five essential players were suffering from injuries. It wasn't looking promising.

Although White and his defense came out strong, the Eagles played with a vengeance. Antone Davis, right tackle, played a key role in holding off White while Cunningham threw a touchdown pass to Bailey. Davis separated himself from the Izel "Toast" Jenkins category he was put in during previous seasons. Davis redeemed himself for all of the offside penalties he caused and truly exhibited his progress as a player.

Even though White's presence was felt in the first half when he chased Cunningham down, his two sacks, four solo tackles and three assisted tackles were still not enough to pull off a victory.

The Eagles on the other hand, despite four turn-overs and a missed field goal attempt by injured place kicker Roger Ruzek in the second quarter, managed to clinch the victory with five seconds left in the game. It was a successful field goal attempt by Ruzek that made the victory possible.

There are also other players that deserve recognition. The Eagles could not overcome White and his new comrades without the help of left tackle Broderick Thompson and rookie receiver Victor Bailey.

Vaughn Hebron also proved his potential but did anyone see Herschel? Well, he did not pursue his normal running game but did the little, yet important things, like blocking.

Now that Rypien is out, and the 2-0 Eagles have built up their-confidence level, the Washington Redskins are going to get a run for their money this week.

The Pennant is getting further away every day for the Phils. This week in particular, the Phils have fallen from a 10 1/2 game lead over the second place Expos to a mere 4 1/2 games.

To add to the Phils losing streak, first baseman John Kruk is in a slump that has dropped his batting average approximately 25 points at an crucial point in the season.

Kruk was benched during Tues-

Father knowsbest Who holds the National League Championship Series record for batting average in a three-game series, at .778?

day's game against the Mets. He was replaced by Ricky Jordan, who scored a two-run home run in the Phils 6-5 loss to the Mets.

Also, oufielder Pete Incaviglia was injured twice this week and the Phils received bad news about pitcher Terry Mulholland. At this point, his hip flexor is not responding to treatment, which could leaves a huge gap in the Phils lineup for the remainder of the season.

In turn, this means the Phils will have to start Mike Williams, who is 1-2, against the Expos.

Fighting has taken place a lot more this year than in previous years.

For example, a bench-clearing brawl occured last Thursday when Astros pitcher Frank Castillo threw Mariano Duncan some chin music.

Although the umpire immediately threw Castillo out of the game, Duncan charged the mound and, when Duncan was grabbed from behind by Astros catcher Eddie Taubensee the Phils and Astros benches cleared.

Hopefully, the Phils can shake their losing streak and widen the margin for the pennant in their upcoming games this week.

This Thursday's exhibition opener at the Spectrum will add some new faces to the young team and a new head coach, Terry Simpson. Rookie winger

Mikael Renberg, a secondround pick in 1990, rookie defenseman Milos Holan, defensemen Ryan McGill and Stewart Malgunasand forward Andre Faust are all new additions to the Flyers this season.

Besides these new players, the majority of the team has not changed since last spring.

With the new players as well as the old, if they all remain healthy, it will be interesting to see if the Flyers can finally make it to the play-offs. This will be a treat to the Philadelphia fans who have not seen the Flyers in the play-offs since 1989.

One of the most anticipated prize fights in recent history took place last weekend as Julio Caesar Chavez took on Pernell Whitaker.

Although most experts agree Whitaker should have won the fight, the decision was a majority draw.

One judge had Whitaker ahead on his card, but the other two had the fight as a draw. Whitaker held onto his title, and Chavez kept his undefeated record.

Pete Sampras won the U.S. Open Men's Tennis Championship last Sunday, and Steffi Graf took the women's title.

That's this past week in sports.

Keep an eye out for next week's report.

A quote to note "With those who don't give a damn about baseball, I can only sympathize. I do not resent them. I am even willing to concede that many of them are physically clean, good to their mothersand in favor of world peace. But while the game is on, I can't think of anything to say to them."

Suddenly Carter cried, "There he is!"

With the speed of a 74 7, the hive-dweller shot to the overhead light, paused for a moment, then dove at the unsuspecting Carter at the exact instant Carter put the video confrontation into overtime.

Banking hard only inches from the scarred carpet, the monster streaked for the open laundry of his hosts. There he sat, silent and waiting as the clueless humans regrouped with Carter and the Fugitive, who remained glued to their artificial contest.

After tense seconds, Macartney bellowed a bloodcurdling war cry and charged.

With a swing worthy of the mighty Casey, he struck the giant bee, sending the bee crash-

out of control. In those few moments, however, Macartney had maneuvered for a second attack.

Launching another barrage, the proprietorof the formerly insect-free room struck the beedown once more.

Eppler, by this point, had reload-

His hesitation left Macartney an open and final shot.

Kicking wildly, Macartney pummeled the insect again and again until Carter, who had moved from the couch during the final assault, grabbed him and proclaimed, "He's dead, Bob." At 12:46a.m., the weary residents dropped their weapons and sank into the silence of a shattered room.

Lady Cavs serve up two wins

by Bob Macartney sports eddor

.

....

With six first-year students, all of whom are seeing serious playing time on the roster, you may mistake this year's women's volJeyball team for last year's women's basketball team. That team, led by three first-year starters, won the P~C Championship.

Basketball coach Dan Welde called last year's recruiting class his "best ever." Volleyball coach Jim Harrigan says the same about this year's crop of newcomers.

The comparisons do not end there .

Does this mean that there is a PAC Championship in the near future for the volleyball team?

Sophomore co-captain Stephanie Eberhardt hopes so.

Eberhardt said, "This could be a very promising season. We have a real exciting young team with a lot of skill."

Harrigan agrees with Eberhardt.

According to Harrigan, having twelve players for an entire week of camp has helped tremendously.

Harrigan said, "The camp was the toughest since I have been here. All 12 players had experience playing volleyball, and I was able to have six- on-six practice every day."

The team took to the court last Thursday against Haverford College.

A strong performance by junior cocaptain Jill Saam and some excellent serves from first-year student Dawn Johnson carried the Lady Cavs to the victory in five hard-fought games.

According to Harrigan, the win gave the team a lot of confidence heading into the Beaver game. Too much, in fact.

Injuries to Johnson and first-year student Colleen Corbett hurt the team, and a dash of overconfidence cost the team the game.

Harrigan hopes his team learned an important lesson in that game.

The Lady Cavs bounced back with an huge victory over Eastern College in their first PAC match-up of the season.

With a big home match against Swarthmore this evening, and the Rosemont Tournament this weekend, the team is hoping to start off the season on the right foot.

The one downside to having such a young team would be a lack of leadership. However, that should not be a problem with this team.

Johnson, Calbert and first-year students Stephanie Miller and Maria Lattanzio all were the respective captains of their high school teams.

In fact, Harrigan thinks that this year's team is better off in the leadership category than last year's squad.

Harrigan said, "In the past everybody waited for someone else to step up and take the reins. That won't be a problem this year because everybody understands their roles.

Some of the teams that Harrigan expects to be frontrunners in the PAC this season are last year's champion, Misericordia, Northern Conference winner Immaculata and Beaver.

Harrigan said, "We have finished second in the Rosemont Tournament the last two years. Northeastern Christian beat us in the championship both years. They won't be there this year, so we have a chance to do very well."

Eberhardt agrees with the coach.

"Everyone is enthusiastic, and we are all working as a team," Eberhardt said.

"Everybody was excited following the Haverford game. That win was a great way to start the season because ii was a tough win. Hopefully, we will conti,,ue to play that way, and we will have a grea• season."

Following this evening's game, the team plays the rest of their early-season games on the road. They do not return home until September 30. However, eight out of their last 10 games are at home.

Women's Volleyball Head Coach Jim Harrigan.

Harrigan has Jed the Lady cavs to a 3-4 record, (1-0 PAC), this season. The women are preparing to host Swarthmore tonight.

Jim Harrigan became the head coach of the women's volleyball team in 1991.

As the team enters its third season under Harrigan and his assistant coach Joe Malizia, the coach is upbeat about his position at the school and the position of his team.

Harrigan got his start in coaching at Little Flower High School in 1986 as the coach of the junior varsity team.

Harrigan said, "A friend of mine coached the varsity team at the school. I was playing in a league, and he was the coach of my team as well. He told me about the position, I took it, and I was hooked.

Harrigan was not exactly a newcomer to the game. He had been playing volleyball since his junior year in high school, and he is still active in recreational leagues.

Over the past seven years, Harrigan has developed a philosophy of coaching.

"I like for my players to always play hard, win or lose," Harrigan said. "I expect them to give 100 percent all the time. I look for a consistent work ethic

and people who enjoy playing the game. In this year's team, I think I have found that. Everybody here wants to play, and they are excited about playing."

During his three years at Cabrini, Harrigan has organized a high school tournament in the gym. This tournament is held once a year.

According to Harrigan , "The tournament which Joe and I run here at Cabrini definitely helps our recruiting. We managed to pull in six freshmen this year, and all of them are experienced volleyball players. Five of those girls have played in the tournament in the last two years. It puts them on the mailing list and also gives them a chance to see what the school looks like.

The work which we put in is definitely paying off."

According to Harrigan, he works harder in the off-season than most of the other coaches in the area, and that helps his recruiting. Aside from Cabrini, he also coaches at Cardinal Dougherty High School, Baldwin and the Main Line United States Volleyball Association (USVBA) club team.

Harrigan also runs a summer camp.

He said, "(Athletic Director John) Dzik

has given me everything that I have needed since I've been here. I asked him for the time to have the tournament and the summer camp, and he gave them to me. He has been very cooperative."

Although he says he is not superstitious, Harrigan does admit to "sitting in the same chair if we win a game."

He is quick to add, though, "I do change my clothes after we win, and I do not have a pair of lucky socks."

His favorite team to beat?

Harrigan said, "That's easy. Chestnut Hill is my favorite team to beat. They had a chance to hire me a few years ago, and they didn't."

As for the future, Harrigan has every intention of staying at Cabrini.

According to Harrigan, "With the work that Joe and I have put in here, we have built a strong foundation for the future. I have a mailing list which covers girls from sixth through twelfth grades. We should be set until the year 2000."

As for this year's team, Harrigan said, "We have the potential to improve dramatically on last year's record. The team is starting to gel, and I am real excited about the season."
