Emergencyprocedures manualenacted

by Steve May .

co-news editor

Back in March, during the "Blizzard of '93,"Cabrini College lacked electricity. It was not the first time. This year and last, Cabrini was powerless several times as the campus tried to cope with the storms that hit the region.

At the time there was no cohesive plan to deal with emergencies that hit the campus. But this week, the public relations department and the college are putting the official emergency procedures manual into effect.

The manual, which is still in its rough form, includes information on what will be done in the event of any emergency the campus may face. The list includes crimes, rape, fire, serious illness or injury, bomb threats, power failures and natural disasters.

Karen Berlant, director of

public relations, said she began working on an emergency manual when she came here. Berlant said a crisis manual has been in the works since 1989. She said the approval for_ the final version was given by the new administration after last year's emergencies.

This manual outlines in great detail how to deal with any emergency.

It defines emergencies as results of human action or natural causes. But the book does not describe what an "emergency" is.

Richard Kralle, director of public safety, defined emergencies as affecting a large portion of the campus. He cited last year's loss o"f power, heat and phones during the blizzard as an emergency.

Other examples of emergencies are shown in the manual.

One of these is rape. T~e manual goes into great detail on the issue of rape and what to do

if one is reported. Fires in residence halls are also outlined.

These portions of the book are directed at students. However, the manual currently is not slated for release to the general student population.

The manual will be distributed to all the administration, offices and staff. Radnor and Tredyffrin fire and police will receive copies of the manual, as will the college resident and medical assistants.

Berlant said the manual will not be distributed to the community at large because it contains the home phone numbers of contacts for the emergencies.

Among these contacts are the directors of student development, enrollment management, institutional advancement, finance, resident life, physical plant, health services and pub_lic safety.

Programdesignedto help students'success ___ ~~.. _,.

It is becoming a national trend. Many students across the country do not perform to their academic-~tential in high school.

This is why more and more students are being accepted to college in general studies programs. This is no l~ss the case at Cabrini.

A general studies student is one who does not directly meet the college's enrollment standards but does exhibit the potential to be a successful student, although records may not indicate this.

Janet Shoemaker, director of college success seminar, said,

"Every general studies student is an individual with different strengths and weaknesses. We give them the opportunity to build on their strengths and remediate their weaknesses so they can be a successful student."

According to Nancy Gardner, executive director of admissions and financial aid, the general parameters for the "ideal applicant" are a B or- higher grade point average, a rank in the top half of his or her class, a 900 or higher SAT score and a wellwritten essay.

Although these standards exist, in reality the average GP A for fall of 1993 was 2.12 and the average SAT score was 745.

Gardner said the GP A has increased and more emphasis is being placed on it rather than on the SAT score, because how a student did in high school is a better indicator of success in

college than standardized testing.

Students who do not meet these requirements go through an admissions review process which consists of general studies staff, faculty and admissions.

The applications are reviewed individually, and from there one of three things could happen.

"I wouldliketo keep the generalstudies programno larger than it is now becauseof our supportstaff' -NancyGardner, ' executivedjrectorof admissionsand financialaid.

A student can be rejected be-

cause he or she does not have the potential to be successful in the eyes of the review board.

A student could be accepted as an "option-recommended opportunity admit." This means the student is close to meeting the criteria and has the potential to be successful. ~ student also can be accepted under general studies, which is designed for students who could benefit from the Center for Academic Reinforcement (CARe).

The general studies program offers specially trained advisers, varying course loads and a great deal of personal attention, such as advisers making sure their advisees attend class and study.

The CARe center offers individual tutoring, a professional writing coach and, according to Director of General Studies and English/communications Professor Arthur Young, a staff always available to help and deal with any problem.

Shoemaker said the general studies staff and advisers give their advisees more tender loving care and more academic support. She said the general stud~ ies staff looks more closely into a student's academic performance.

Young said the college success seminar is offered to make students aware there is no magic to being successful, but they need to learn systems of study and approaches to academics that contribute to succe.ss.

Gardner said the CARe center and general studies college success seminar staff is a little more tuned into academic skills and provides extra attention to their students.

Students must push and shove their way into the cafeteria during lunch rush. Chaos is created in front of the soda fountains, bread is scarce at the sandwich bar and a tray jam creates traffic for Seiler's employees. Although, there is no more elbow room on the sticky tables, it is good to see students eager to indulge cafeteria food.

The Selier's newsletter displayed great concern for the students on and off campus. The mugs given to students were appreciated and the information relating to upcoming meals was helpful. It is too bad this amount of effort cannot be put into food preparation.

When I was two yearsold, my father had me reading the sports section of the Philadelphia Daily News. The addiction had begun.

He would return from work, and we would play ball. It did not matter what. Baseball, football, hockey, basketball, you name a sport and we played it. Inside and outside. We bonded through sports.

My mom, however,was not a big sports fan.

B,speciallywhen they were played in her house.

Looking back, I am proud to say that I never broke anything important in my house, although I did knock down the Christmas tree once.

Anyway,by thetimeI was five,I wasplaying basketballin my house every day. My father wouldsiton thecouch andkeepscorewhileI ran up anddownthefloor,dunkinginto an imaginary basket.Thanksto my father,I was alwaysthestar ofthegame.

WhatI didnotrealizewasthatitwasabnonnal for my fatherto be home everyday.

When I was six, the Phillieswon the World Series. Itwas oneof the happiestdaysof my life.

The next day, my dad died. It was one of the saddestdaysof my life.

The one thing that he left me was sports. I continued to play, and my love for them was doubled.This iswheremy mom came intoplay.

My mother was not exactly an athlete. And she still complained when I would play in the house.

But she tried to change. I still was not allowed to play in the house. She made me go outside,but she followedme out. Have you ever playedcatchwithyour mom?

Ihave. Itisnotasbadasyouwouldthink. She couldnot catchtoo well,and shethrewlike a girl, butlhadagreattime. Ifirmlybelieveitisbecause ofmymotherthatmyloveforsportsgrew.Mydad got me started,but my mom kept me going. The addictionwas growing.

Thisiswherefriendscomein.Imadeallofmy friendsin lifethroughsports.

Ingradeschoo~we would playwheneverwe could Wheneverwe got together,which was abouteveryday,we playedsomesport.

On thestreet,at theRec, in thehouse,everywhere.

You were not acceptedin my neighborhood unless you were athletic. I honestly feel that I am fromthemostcompetitiveneighborhood in

the world. To say the least, this did not help my addiction.

Ourteamswon at everything.Two yearsin a row we won the City Championshipin baseball.

Ourbasketballteam went to theregionfinalstwo yearsinarow.Weconstantlywon,andlosingwas notacx:epted.

Uponmygraduationfromgradeschool,Iwent to LaSalleHighSchool.Mostof my friendswent to CardinalDougherty.We grew apart.

I made new friendsthroughmy high school acquaintances. One weekend, a friend of mine asked me to come over and play hockey. Because of this hockey game, I met five guys who are now my best friends. All because of sports.

Sometimes, addictions are a good thing.

The one thing about my friends, though, was their competitiveness. They liked to win, but it was not life or death. To me, it was.

You are probably wondering how all of this comes together. Actually, ittook me a while to figure it out.

You become a certain person because of a combination of these three things which I have presented. My family got me started, my friends kept me going and my environment made me competitive.This cannotbe changed.

That was my problem. I was trying to change the very essence of my being, my desire to win. It was making me sick. I will always despise losing,and I will always do whatever is in my power to avoid that feeling. It is one of the worst feelings in the world, knowing that somebody has outdone you. I will never be able to change that. And I will never again attempt to do so. You cannot changetheperson youare.Youcanrestrainyourself,butyoucannever change yourbeliefs. I believe in sports, and I believe in winning, and that will never change.

I am proud to be an addict.

So, with all apologies, mom. I will never stop playing ball in the house.

Two big changes which I experienced during my sophomore year were being elected president of the Student Government Association Executive Board and co-captain of the soccer team. What these changes meant was that I was accepting responsibilities that I have never had before.

And after being on both sides, I now realize that those various groups do not get the appreciation that they deserve.

Since I am now part of SGA, I think I would like to elaborate on the group and enlighten everybody about the year to come.

Students rate seminar's success

by Christina Feehan staff writer

As a first-year student, one faces overwhelming changes ranging from living arrangements to study habits. There is one class, however, where students can go and share these experiences with others.

The college success seminar is a course in which students have a chance to express their fears and anxieties, their joys and sorrows.

This seminar, as opposed to common academic classes, allows for a bond between faculty and students.

According to Janet Shoemaker,· an adviser and director of the college success seminar, the seminar is designed to "assist students in taking charge of their college learning experience. It also provides an opportunity for students to learn and adopt methods and skills to be successful in school and life."

First-year students are also given the chance to relate to upperclassmen

through this course. Co-facilitators work· side-by-side with. the advisers and usually serve the same purpose: to help the first-year students succeed.

The class also is beneficial to the cofacilitators because they learn student leadership and become models for the new first-year students.

Terri Carragher, a sophomore education major, said her role as co-facilitator was "to give· advice both academically and socially to freshman, and to help them adjust.to college."

Carragher thinks the program has improved sins:;e last year, when she was on the other side of the desk.

Another co-facilitator, Anne Waldspurger, sophomore and orientation counselor, takes the class one step further.

She wants the first-year students to feel she is always there for them.

Waldspurger said she will make herself available whenever they need a ·friend or even just someone to talk to.

College provides flexibility in 'major' moves

Denise Tancredi, first-year student, said she found it was easier to talk about her feelings with other people adjusting to college.

According to Janet Shoemaker, director of the college success ·seminar, the class is designed to "assist students in taking charge of their college learning experience."

Joanna Golesh, first-year student, agreed with Tancredi and stated that she thinks the seminar will be beneficial because she feels comfortable in that type of setting.

In fact, Golesh went canoeing with her fellow classmates and adviser this past Sunday.

As with any new experience at college, there are some pros and cons.

According to Kristen Stancavage, a sophomore pre..,_med major, the college success semina'r was occasionally a waste of time.

As an 18-year-old resident, Stancavage felt she already had study habits and money management, two subjects of importance in the course, under her belt.

Heather Teti, sophomore, stated that the course did not really help her. Teti felt she could have used the time to study or do something else productive. ""One positive aspect of this course, though, is that it is a good way to meet new people," Teti said.

The college success seminar began approximately 15 years ago when Dr. Arthur Young, director of the CARe center, taught the course to benefit the general studies students.

"It turned out to be quite a success, and now the class is a requirement for graduation," Shoemaker said .•

when a crisis occurs. more MANUAL from 1 er concerns Senior MA Eileen Doyle said

that there should be a type of hotline for anyone to call for information on an emergency. She said a copy of the manual, without the administrators' home numbers, should be distributed.

Doyle said there was no guarantee that the RAs or MAs would be around in an emergency and that students should know how to act. She said it would be great if they could have access to it.

Berlant, who will handle the official communication in an emergency, said the manual is an evolving process that will change with time.

Kralle, also listed as a contact, said the manual was ·compiled from all the administrators' previous experiences at other institutions.

He said Berlant assigned the duties to the administration in the event of an emergency.

Berlant, who has previously handled crisis situations at SUNY Binghamton, Pierce and Philadelphia College of Textiles and Sciences, said disasters can happen anywhere.

"Cabrini is not immune," Berlant said.

"We saw that last year. Now I hope we're delivering instructions."

K.ralle said the manual currently was not being release.ct to the community but does not see this as a problem. He said the information on rape was discussed at rape and self-defense programs.

However, Senior Dena Della Rocca, who was on campus last year during the blizzard, said the campus should know what is inside the manuals. She said the book should be distributed because the RAs and MAs are not always accessible.

Ask Roxy Dear Roxy, We live in a triple in Woodcrest and are experiencing major problems with our third roommate. We have considered going home and leaving Cabrini.

But we like the other people on campus and feel that we would really miss everyone.

We have tried to talk to her, but that did not work out. So now we are not speaking and must find out if we can change rooms.

The two of us do not want to split apart, but we are afraid that may happen.

We have nothing against our third roommate, but too much has happened in the past week-and-a-half for us to stay.

What can we do? We are open to any suggestions!

Sincerely, Confused and Upset in Woodcrest Dear Confused and Upset, Have you tried setting up a meeting with your resident assistant acting as a moderator? Have you tried to identify what the problem is among the three of you and how you can try to get past it?

Are these major problems of moral dilemmas or are we talking about throwing clothes on the floor and being a slob? Does she worship Satan or is it just a matter of her not listening to the same kind of music or having the same friends as you do?

As I see it, you can do one of two things.

First, room changes begin on Sept.

27. But remember the room belongs to the three of you equally. Just because two of you get along does not mean the third must move. It is your problem so you must find two willing students to switch rooms with. If you can convince the third party to move out, then she will have to find someone to switch rooms with.

One note to think about. If your third person does find someone to switch with, how do you know you will get along with.her?

Secondly, the fact that you actually considered leaving school beca-use of this disturbs me. You have to realize· there will always be someone you cannot get along with in this world. Whether it be a teacher, classmate, someone you work with or even a member of your social group, you may not be just like them, and that's okay. What you have to do, however, is find a way to DEAL with it. Dealing with your problems and learning not fo run away from them is something you will encounter throughout your life.

So, you can take the easy way out and . jump ship or try to work through the problems you have and set a positive pattern to be followed for the future.

W_igwam rewinds to the 1950s

by Brian Siatkowski

staffwriter

The Widener Center's snack bar, commonly known as the Wigwam, has undergone several renovations over the last few months. The Wigwam has been sent back in time to the 1950s.

The '50s?

It was the beginning of the end of virgin America, when highways began· to barrel through small majestic towns in hopes of connecting major cities. This was the time when RCA invented the three-color picture tube grjp and the two great threats JoAmerica were encapsuled by the Red Scare and hydrogen bomb.

Upon entering the double doors of the Wigwam you won't hear Richie Valens or the Big Bopper jamming out of a Wurlitzer, or read in the newspaper about Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ted Williams. But you can catch the daily lunch special, soup with ham, chicken patty and soda or baked potato bar, all of which are crayoned on the wall next to the counter.

Flo Pittman, Wigwam worker for two years, said the snack bar's name is the same although it has been painted, redecorated and gained the '50s theme.

Pittman said the decision was made by management, the Seiler's corporation and likes the change because it "ad_ded new things to the menu in order to give the customers variety."

Seven-year employee April Harris leaned over the counter during her busy morning shift and said, "It's getting _better every year. Now we have hot lunch specials that are different every day."

A calendar at the entrance of the· Wigwam lists the specials.

Most of the round wooden tables and plastic chairs are spread out in a jigsaw

Rivers views the new decorations as "quite eye-catching," although she empathizes with one of the several Elvis novelties.

"They just will not let this man rest," Rivers said.

Heeney noticed more variety in the menu, but both she and Rivers said the most improved characteristic of the Wigwam is the service.

"They really know what they are doing," Rivers said. "The service is always good."

Another commuter, Senior Dean Marino, said the '50s renovations are "pretty creative." Marino said, however, "the food is of the same quality as the cafeteria."

The lunch menu offers coffee and soft drinks, candy, ice cream, baked potato, turkey, hoagies, grilled cheese, chip·s, tasty cakes, pizza, chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs.

During the breakfa,st hours of the Wigwam, bagels, donuts and the muffin list offers quite a variety. The muffins

include the Cabrini Muffin. the Mansion Muffin and the Grace Hall Muffin.

Sophomores Manney Hernandez and Reggie Marani sampled the Cabrini Muffin, made with egg, cheese, bacon and sausage or ham. Marant grabbed his muffin and, with a very serious tone, said, "It's bumping," and took off for his table.

The white brick walls of the Wigwam are dotted by 45-inch records dating back to the 1950s. A John Wayne pictl.jre rests behind the potato bar and a blinking traffic light separates the potato bar from the serve-yourself drink dispenser. Marilyn Monroe's and James Pean's immortality is safe in the Wigwam. Dean, who shattered the 50s in his '55 fatal car crash, is now a lifesize, cardboard image frozen in his classic rebellious" stance.

Father Ambrose Cashman, campus chaplain, said the renovations "probably fit me better than you. Do you students know what a 45 is?" Randy Mills, lacrosse coach, laughed and said, "They think its a-gun."

Cabrini's traveling carolers

by Renee Rozniatoski staff wr,ter

The temperature is still in the high '80s and the air conditioners are turnedup. Everyone is wearing shorts, and there are no signs of snow. But the sounds of Jingle Bells and other wellknown Christmas carols can be heard on campus. No, it is not Christmas in July, it is the chorus practicing for the annual winter concert.

On Sunday, Dec. 12, the chorus will hold its annual winter concert. It will be at 3 p.m. in the chapel.

The musical selecti~n includes both religious and secular Christmas songs.

"It is a great kick-off for Christmas," Nina Sciarrotta, a sophomore chorus member, said. "It is up-beat, fun and definitely not boring."

The chorus performs community service by taking their music to those who cannot come to them. A trip to a Wayne nursing home is being considered.

Traveling is not a new concept for the chorus. They have been traveling since

1982. This past summer, in association with Delaware County Community College, the chorus had the honor of singing in Europe.

The Delaware County Community College-Cabrini Singers performed in the liturgy at Sacre Coeur, a cathedral in Paris. In order to sing there, tapes must be submitted, and performers must be chosen through an application process.

A trip to Puerto Rico is in the works for spring break.

According to Dr. Adeline Bethany, fine arts department chairperson, the trip may have to be postponed. There must be balanced sections (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass) in order to have a strong singing group, Bethany said. The chorus has not yet accomplished this balance, according to Bethany.

Although the chorus is lacking balance, membership is beginning to rise.

When Bethany went on sabbatical, the membership diminished. However, with the help of returning students, many new members have been recruited. This semester, the chorus is worth one-and-a half credits toward the core. L<ist year chorus was worth ·one credit per semester. With the new system, in two semesters the arts requirement of the core can be fulfilled.

The chorus rehearses at 7:15 p.m. every Monday night in the Widener Center Lecture Hall. Bethany said, "It's a small amount of personal time to give for great rewards that are personal, academic, social, and aesthetic."

Fall

Television Season

by Gary White features, arts

& enterta,nment edlf~r

Fall, also known as autumn, is the time of falling leaves and falling temperatures. It also is the time of shorter days and longer nights.

To help fill those long hours, television network executives are introducing 36 new programs they hope will keep the public watching.

These shows have been debuting since August, and some will not hit the air until October. Twenty-one of the shows are sitcoms, 11 dramas, two variety shows and one is a mystery anthology.

Top network executives are very happy with the season's offerings.

Although none of the shows are considered guaranteed successes, some have been attracting a lot of interest.

"Frasier" is one of these shows.

It is the only spin-off of "Cheers" this season. Some people think it will be a big hit. In the show, psychologist Dr. Frasier Crane has moved from Boston to Seattle, where he has a radio talk show for people who need psychiatric help.

He has left his wife and child behind and is now living with his father.

The show will follow "Seinfeld'' _inthe line-up, so it has a good shot at success. But other post-hit shows like "AfterM*A*S*H" and "The Golden Palace" did not do very well.

"Frasier was enough of an individual on 'Cheers' that I think he is a really good character for a spin-off," Senior Carin Pesotski said.

Another show getting a lot of attention is "NYPD Blues" on ABC. This show is set to air Tuesday nights at 10.

Some have called it TV's first R-rated show. Others believe it is a classic in the making

The story revolves around the life of new York Detective John Kelly, played by David Caruso. Kelly's partner, played by Dennis Franz, is burnt-out, and Kelly's wife has left him because of his work. ' What makes the show so controversial is the amount of profanity and the occasions of near nudity. One scene has Kelly and a female friend in the show together with only the soap scum to hide them.

This season will also see some new and old faces on the screen.

Valerie Bertinelli is one of the old faces returning to weekly television with "Cafe Americain." Bertinelli plays a divorcee who goes to France. There she finds a new home ~nd job working in a Paris cafe with an as.:,ortmentof off-beat characters. It may be "Cheers" set in a French restaurant.

Once that happens, territorial boundaries will be formed and both cmmtries might be able to live together in relative harmony. The accord speaks about the possibility of having the Israelis grant Palestinians a broadcasting license and television station.

However, all the ideas mentioned in the accords are to be discussed step-bystep in the future. There are a significant number of issues that must be resolved between ttie two nations, and it will take a great deal of time to weed through all of it, According to Pinchas Landau, the editor of The 'telegraph, Israel's business daily, we need to "watch what multinational corporations do," and be expects to see the changes yield "tremendous changes in attitude, particularly in

Military aid also is at stake.

Herbert Stein, an economic. adviser to Republican'Ptesidents, and a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, says dependence on foreign military aid is a double-edged sword, and the Israelis ought to plan to phase out this aid.

Regionally, tensions seem high, and compromise will be slow and dif• ficult in corning. ' Howard Rosen, an economist at the Competitiveness Policy Council in Washington, argues that Israel's economic opportunities have been deeply handicapped by Arab boycott and the uncertainty of investing in a country permanently at war. Peace could change that.

Dann Trotter, senior, said, "The Palestinians seem to be more genuine in their desire for peace. Israel seems as though they begrudge every concession they have made. Unless this attitude on the part of Israel subsides, the situation could develop into a bitter grudge match between the two nations. instead, of a peace accord!'

Communityreactsto Blue Route

by Katina Corrao staff writer

On December 19, 1991, a 62-yearold, $581.3 million dream came to life.

A north-south expressway through Delaware County was born. The Blue Route, also known as 1-476, Mid-County Expressway and the Veterans Memorial Highway, is its name. The final link in the Interstate Highway System now is completed.

This 21.5 mile route, with its 56 bridges and nine interchanges, provides travelers with easy access to all major landmarks, including Cabrini.

Michael Carragher, local transportation engineer, said, "Reports indicated that the merchants of the Plymouth Meeting Mall recorded higher than anticipated Christmas period sales, due to the newly created access for more Delaware County residents."

Tricia Reilly, junior, said, "The Blue Route saved my social life." Before 1476 came, Reilly said she took Lancaster Avenue. It took her almost 45 minutes to travel back and forth to school. "It takes me only 13 minutes now," Reilly said. "I love it."

Bryan Bell, junior, said, "The Blue Route is smooth enough to shave your legs while driving."· Carragher added, "The limited access Blue Route provides a definite time saving, compared to the stop-and-go traffic of the parallel Route 320."

The Blue Route is greatly used by commuters at Cabrini.

Paul Marturano, first-year student, said, "It gets me here faster than any other way." Agreeing with him was another first-year student, Joseph Marturano. "It takes me 15 minutes from Drexel Hill," Marturano said.

The Blue Route also is a preferred

way for faculty. Dr. Anthony Tomasco, chairperson of the psychology department, said, "It's the best thing, travelwise."

With so much publicity and advertising, the Blue Route has become very popular. Traffic may be heavy at times, as with any major highway, during rush hour. Melissa Imperato, first-year student, said, "It's a real hassle. It takes me 10 minutes longer than when I take Montgomery Avenue."

Kim Forde, sophomore, feels that it depends on the time. She said, "During rush hour, the Blue Route is a killer."

According to publications provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, PENNDOT, approximately 71,500 vehicles driye the Blue Route daily. This was a figure not expected to be reached until after the year 2010.

Carragher said, "On a more regional

perspective, the Blue Route provides a direct link from areas south of Philadelphia to the north via the turnpike, while bypassing the congested Schuylkill Expressway."

Many things should be taken into consideration as to why there are people satisfied and dissatisfied with the convenience of the Blue Route. The weather, accidents and road construction all play an integral part in the slowing down of traffic.

Will the Blue Route ever go under more construction? Will there be more room for cars to move during the hustle and bustle of bumper-to-bumper traffic? Is widening possible?

Lois M. Morasco, assistant press secretary for the Department of Transportation, said, "In the two-lane section, widening is possible, but highly improbable."

Last week in the world of sports

Tap in '

by Jane S. Van lngen

staffwnter The Phillies were the hot topic of conversation this week.

During three days of playing against the New York Mets, they lost one game and won two.

They piayed against the Expos over the weekend and lost twice.

The Phils played the Florida Marlins this week and are getting ready for the big series against the Atlanta Braves this weekend.

In the first game against the Mets, pitcher Tommy Greene beat the Mets 5-0 in one of his most impressive and significant performances. It was the Phillies' third victory in eight games, but with only 18 games left in the season, it gave them an enormous boost. The first four runs came from Darren Daulton, Lenny Dykstra, Pete Incaviglia and Jim Eisenreich.

In the second game, the Phillies lost 5-3. There were also two injuries during the game. Incaviglia pulled a muscle run_ning the bases in the fourth inning, and pitcher Danny Jackson sprained his left ankle running out a grounder.

Jackson remained in the game though and is scheduled to play in Montreal against the Expos.

The Phillies came back the third day and beat the Mets 6-3.

When play resumed after a rain delay in the top of the eighth, Ricky Jordan delivered a sacrifice fly that scored Wes Chamberlain and proved to be the winning run of the game.

Any combination of Phils'wins and Expos' losses lowers the Phils' magic number to clinch the division.

The other two teams still in competition are St. Louis and Chicago.

In the first game against the Montreal Expos, the Phillies lost against the Montreal Expos in the 12th inning 8- 7. Montreal had a 30 lead before the Phillies scored seven times in the sixth inning.

Daulton clubbed a three-run homer in the sixth, pushing his RBI total to 102. Pinch-hitter Curtis Pride made a two-run pinch-double in the eighth, sparking an Expos' comeback that continued in the 12th inning. In the Phillies second game, the Expos beat them again 5-4.

In other baseball news, the Phillies and the Braves will become rivals next season under

the National League's plan for realignment.

The Braves will move to the East and the Pirates will move to NL Central. Phils Owner Bill Giles says having the Braves in the East will be harder for the Phillies, but that in the long run it will be all right.

Steffi Graf won her third open title three weeks ago in the U.S. Open and now is coming to. Philadelphia in November. Along with six of the top 10 tennis players in the world,. she has entered the Philadelphia tournament November 814 at the Civic Center. This tournament will precede the Virginia Slims Championship in New York City, ending the tennis season.

The Philadelphia Eagle's kicker Roger Ruzek strained his hamstring during the Eagles' victory against the Green Bay Packers. As a result, veteran Matt Bahr has been signed to a one-year deal as a back-up. Bahr was cut from the New York Giants' roster last month because of injuries. However, the Eagles' coaches were impressed

with Bahr's try-out. It is uncertain when Ruzek will return, even though he no longer is limping around and has participated in practice on a limited basis.

The Flyers opened their exhibition season with a 5-3 victory against the Devils.

Goaltender Tommy Soderstrom was only beaten once on 13 shots in the first half hour of the game, and goalie Dominic Rousel was beaten twice. Eric Lindros got the elbows flying with his smashes on Ben Hankinson, Bobby Carpenter and Scott Stevens. Lindros also fought Ken Daneyko in a short bout later in the game. Speaking of bouts, the first fight of the season came only one minute and 25 seconds in the game. It was between Flyers newcomer Jim Cummins and Mike Peluso.

Cummins won when he landed on top of Peluso. No one was surprised by the outcome of the game, as fans packed into the Spectrum.

This has been a look at the week in sports. Check again next week for more sports news.

Lady Cavs reach semifinals at Rosemont

by Celene Wright staff writer Tough,aggressive, lasting ... these words may come to mind when watching Cabrini's women's volleyball team play. These ladies work and sweat together, which .has resulted in a record of 6 wins and 6 losses.

According to Sophomore Jen Paliaro, the reason for the team working so ·well together is the solid pre-season camp.

Paliaro said, "We have personalities that coincide, and we respect our team captains and coaches."

They were able to put that teamwork into effect on Sept.

18 at the Rosemont Tournament.

"Our performance was intense," Paliaro said.

With eight teams to compete against in the tournament, Cabrini had some anxiety about playing certain teams.

When asked which teams the Lady Cavaliers were worried about, coach Jim Harrigan said Beaver looked strong.

The Lady Cavs had lost to Beaver before and had an idea of how strong the team was and what they had to offer.

With Cabrini taking first place in their pool, Sophomore Stephanie Eberhardt was very happy with her team's performance.

According to Eberhardt, the team played hard together, which is very effective in developing a good 'team.

In the pool play, the Lady Cavs beat Rosemont, scoring 15-6, 12-15 and 15-11. Next, they defeated Chestnut Hill with an impressive score of 15-13 and 15-9.

The team followed that victory with a win against Cedar Crest with twin scores of 15-8 and 15-8.

Though the players fought hard for the win, they did not last in the semi-finals.

They lost to Alvernia, who finished second in the other pool, by 1115, 15-11 and 8-15.

"The Alvernia match is the best we've played all year," Harrigan said. "Even though we lost, we played very well."

Harrigan said his team wanted to win, but Alvernia wanted the victory a little more.

According to Eberhardt, "Alvertiia could not hav·e walked away saying Cabrini was an easy win."

"Dawn Johnson was very strong when serving," Harrigan said, "while Jill Saam played extremely well at the net.

Eberhardt was good at outside hitting. Setting by' Paliaro and Amy Mollenko was strong. The Lady Cavs played tough, they played hard, and most of all they played together.

If they

continue to keep up these habits,, they may have a chance to go to the top.

Eberhardt said, "Ifwe didn't play well, I would have been disappointed, but we gave them a good fight."

Ninety feet. between the

Nine men on each side.

'Threestrikes. Three outs.

These are the common rules of baseball. At least, they used to be.

Back.in the days when um. pires could see.

If youhave seen anybaseball games on television this year, you have noticed that the state of umpiring in the major leagues bas declined.

The strike zone used to be 18 inches wide. Now it is

wider than John Kruk's waistline.

A pitcherthrows a pitchoo the outside comer,andthe umpire calls it a strike. The next pitch is inthe sameplace,and it is called a ball. Whatever happened to consistency1 Whenaplayerdoesnotshow the ability it takesto stay in the

When anumpireis in the same situation, nothing happens. .

On Friday night, Bobby Thigpengotthe thirdout of an inning on a fly ball to center.

As the players ran to the dugout.theywere calledback onto the field. A balk bad been called on Thigpen, giving Montreal another chance.

They scored a run, and the game went to extra innings.

The Expos won.

On Sunday. the Expos, trailing by a run, bad men on first and second with one out in the ninth. Larry Walker hit a ground ball to Kruk, who bobbled it, giving him only one play. He flipped to Mitch Williams, who tagged first an instant before Walker. Two outs, second and third. One problem: first base umpire Charlie Williams bltw bis only call of the series, and the Expos had the bases loaded.

Therefore, when the next batter popped upto Kruk, the Phillies bad only two outs.

The game should have been over. It was not. The Expos won when the next batter hit a

double.

We can only hope that tbe Phils can bold outfor the next two weeks, puttitJg them in theplayoffs.

Then, we can'only hope that the umpires remember that the game is played with three outs.

Coach Joanie Quinn battles for the ball with Christie Conlin, as Morgan looks on.

The rain forced the cancelation of the match against Eastern on Tuesday.

staffwnter Field Hockey Coach Joanie Quinn and Wesley Head Coach Barb Abbott stood facing each other on a rain-soaked field. There was a difficult decision to be made. Theirs was the final call in whether or not the field hockey game between Cabrini and Wesley was going to happen.

Abbott felt the field conditions were nearly impossible to play on. On the other hand, Quinn felt t the proper placement of sand would be enough to keep the gaine on schedule.

The rain picked up its ferocity as the two drenched coaches tried to make the decision. After placing dry sand in the areas where the mud had gained too much ground, it was determined that the game would be played.

Sophomore Chris Calvert said, "It took us a while to get psyched up after sitting in the locker room for so long."

Calvert, who admitted she liked playing in the rain, went on to score the first goal for the Lady Cavs, starting them on their road to victory.

Chris Lear, first-year student, felt that the rain made things very sleepy.

According to Lear, Calvert played . with such an intensity the other team was intimidated by her.

Tammy Pfeiff en berger scored the second and final goal of the game before the end of the first half.

Junior Kristen Rudnick said, "We should have scored eight goals in this game, but the field was in ridiculous condition."

According to Denise Cassidy, junior, "I was not thinking about the rain. I was thinking more about

the game than anything else."

Firstyear student Melissa Hunsberger felt the field conditions really slowed down the ball.

However, Hunsberger said, "I had fun.

The rain really made things different."

Abbott seemed to think the field conditions were in Cabrini's favor, but Quinn felt otherwise. . Quinn said, "I disagree. I really feel the weather was an equal deterrent. I feel that we were the stronger team and we should have scored more goals."

According to Quinn, she was happy with the number of shots that the Lady Cavs took in the first half, but "we just couldn't cap them off with goals."

Sophomore Jen Schaub said, "It was hard to see in the second half because it was really pouring."

Rudnick said, "The rain really got a lot of people on edge and the game was very rough towards the end."

Hunsberger agreed. "We started off really well but some attitudes got in the way ~uring the second half."

Quinn feels the teain is stronger then many people realize.

Quinn said, "We have a lot of new talent. I don't have to teach them basic skills like in the past. Instead we can work on our overall game."

Schaub could not agree more.

"I feel that we have a real opportunity to go all the way and win the PAC championships," Schaub said.

Hunsberger said, "Our ability to play as a team will really help us in the long run."

Cassidy said, "In order for that to happen, we really will have·to want it."

Athleteof the month: Chris Calvert

by Catherine Smotherman

staff writer

Sticks don't hurt the field hockey team, and words only build them up, at least when the words are like the ones Joanie Quinn, head field hockey coach, lavished recently on Chris Calvert, the Loquitur Athlete of the

Month.

The 19-year-old sophomore plays. rightback defense and offensive comers and was chosen by her teammates as player of the game after the Chestnut Hill College game. · The operative word with regard to Calvert's game is improved.

Quinn praised Calvert's improved stick work and ball control but positively glowed when describing her motivation.

According to Quinn, since last season Calvert has developed her ability and found confidence in her game. Quinn believes it is this burgeoning confidence that is driving Calvert to give 100 percent in every game. It is her high level of enthusiasm and confidence that is really making her shine on the field.

Quinn believes Calvert's improvement is based on her playing indoor field hockey during the winter. Indoor field hockey is optional for team members, but most participate during the off- season. Calvert herself attributes her increased commitment to contact with older players who are more involved.

Calvert began playing field hockey seven years ago, in the 7th grade but had no intention of playing at Cabrini when she arrived here. Her mother was concerned that the sport might interfere with her academic effort.

Her resident assistant last year asked if She works in Career Services, helping with tnbutethis in part to an influxof strongfreshmen sbe was interested in field hockey.

Both Quinn and Calvert believe the team is becauseconferencegames must have a winner. day, except game days, regardless of weather. Calvert used to be the only team member much strongerthis year than last year. They atwho refused to wear cleats. A fall that left her flat on· the ground, covered with mud, and surrounded by laughing teammates conve,rted her, at least during rainy weather.

Calvert said the down side of the game is when they come across a bad referee or a bad team. Quinn pointed out that a team that is not very skilled may wind up pushing, not out of malice, but because they don't have the control to get around their opponents any other way.

Both good and bad players can get frustrated when the game is not going well. Wben the Cabrini team is frustrated, it may show temporarily in their on-field interaction. But the team spends a lot of time together off the field as well as on, and everyone recognizes that the frustration is directed at the situation and not at each other.

Calvert, an early childhood and elementary education major from Milford, PA, in the Poconos, likes Cabrini. She has found that she really does get individual attention.

And she loves the field hockey program.

The games provide competition and excitement. The team provides a social circle. They eat dinner together most nights, and some hang out together as well. Her mother has been won over and is very supportive now. p/)Otooy Doug Eppler Calvert is a sophomore class officer and served as an orientation counselor this year.
