On Sept. 15, 1989, I met Steve, a 5-foot9-inch brunette with beautiful blue eyes. At the time, this seemed perfect, but then I discovered he also was a running back for North Catholic, a die-hard Eagles fan and he •ate, slept and breathed football. This was a problem. _ After dating for a few months, which not to mention was during footbaU season, I tried to learn something about footba_ll,just for the sake of conversation. After pestering my dad during numerous Eagles games, I finally knew enough to watch a game with Steve. The first game I watched was the play-off game between the Eagles and the Rams. The Eagles lost. This set the mood for the day, even for me. I was amazed at the amount of emotion
the loss stirred in me. Also, I was surprised by the interest I had in the game, not for Steve but for me, Kelly. For the first time since this whole football issue started, I was interested in football for me. My desire to learn about the game strengthened. Four years later, Steve and I are still dating, and my love for footba11 has flourished. I faithfully watch the Eagles games every Sunday now and enjoy them. Through·years of learning and broadening my horizons, I have developed a great knowledge of football. Knowledge. I realize now that this knowledge was not about football or even about sports, but about my life. Until that point, I went through life living what I thought I was supposed to be, without letting in other ideas or interests because they were different. Now I have greater confidence in myself to handle any challenge. I have an open mina and am not intimidated by the world around me just because it is different. l do not feel inadequate because I am not all knowledgeable, but I look to the future as a way to break down th.ewalls that surround me. lam notjustconfined to being a priss, and I live with no restrictions. Or regrets. So, as life progresses, I hope to avoid makingjudgements without at least testing the waters. After all, if Randall Cunningham planted his feet firmly in one place, he would be setting himself up for a lot a sacks.

There is a parking problem here on campus! I am a commuter student, and I have to wait 15 to 20 minutes until I can get a spot. Something needs to be done. The problem that I see is that the residents who live on campus are parking here! They can easily walk from their dormitories and should be required to park there. Faculty members have also expressed their concerns. I know there is an increase in the number of students, but freshmen are not supposed to have cars. I spoke to security about this, and right now they are scoping the area to see which hours the lots are full. I propose that fines should be given to any residents who parkhere. . Tbanks!

..___lo_,._Q_in_io_n ______ " __JI!Letters (continued) Avid. Cowboys. fan smears Warning: Cafeteria food may ,riore than cream cheese be harmful to your health Letterto the Editor:
Edie Lamberti, sophomore
There are many things that happened to me when I moved to Pa. from Texas. I moved 1,700 miles away from home. It became common practice for me to be introduced as "Edie from Texas," and I was ridiculed on WYBF for liking the Dallas Cowboys. I was not originally a fan of the Cowboys, so if there is anyone to blame it would have to be the die-hard Eagle fans. I remember the night of the first Cowboys-Eagles game of my freshman year. I heard screaming next door, and I went to see what was up. The Eagles had just scored a t~uchdown against the Cowboys, and I was curious about all the excitement. I was met with a reply of "We HATE the Dallas Cowboys!! Oh wait, aren't you from Dallas?" The war was on! I'm not from Dallas; I'm from Fort Worth, which is right next door, and the Cowboys are our team. I had always hated football and never watched it. This was abnormal for a Texan. Football is very big in Texas. (That is probably the biggest understatement of the year.) It is what everyone does on Sunday between church and "supper." I grew up begging my grandpa to change the channel to something besides "that dumb game." All the little boys play pee-wee football, while their fathers' stand on the sideline, screaming obscenities at the referee, as if it was the NFL. This is the background I was coming from, until I show up at the one place in the whole Northeast that absolutely detested the team that Wl\S second only to Ood, and holding season tickets to their games got you in the "pearly gates." How could I stand back and not stick up for them? How could I let my 'Boys down? After that first game, I didn't think much about it. I would see how they did each week, it was nice if they won and too bad if they lost. Then they seemed to be -doing
pretty well, an'd people started to talk about the SuperBowl. That was when it started to get serious. Around this time, someone I hardly knew, Doug Eppler, began to make comments about the Cowboys on WYBF, just to get my goat. I remember walking into my room one night and my roommate saying, "Edie, they are talking about you on the radio!" I could not sit back and let him sound like he was getting the best of me, so I took every opportunity to mention, nonchalantly of course, how well the Cowboys were playing (with Doug sending back those quick rebuttals he is known so well for). I also stocked up on as much Dallas Cowboy memorabilia that would fit into my suitcase during Christmas break. Well, it is obvious as to who got the last laugh. I enjoyed every darn minute of it. Well, after all the Cowboys did go on to win the SuperBowl, and they did a mighty fine job, I might add! So, as football season rolled around again this year, I began planning my strategy. Yes, the Cowboys did get off to a slow start this year, but they seem to do better this way, and we have the "Everlasting" Emmitt Smith back in the saddle! Besides, Texans are creative and dtualistic. We pulled all the Philadelphia Cream Cheese off the shelves last year, and they are preparing to do it again this year. In a way I guess I am thankful to the Eagles fans, and the people who just plain HATE the Cowboys, for encouraging me to stand by my team and become a loyal fan. There is probably some hidden meaning deep below the surface of this story, and Dr. Romano could probably tie this to some ancient ritual or medieval myth. But, for me, I am going to bask in the glory of the aftermathof anEXTRAORDINARYSuperBowl victory, and enjoy watching the Cowboys out-do some football players in green from Philadelphia ...and to rub it in to Doug ...just to get his goat. I guess worse things could have happened to me being so far from home. I mean I could have started to talk funny, and say "youz guys" and "gaz." My friends know what to get me as a gift. I think I have accumulated four or five Cowboy T-shirts and at least one Philadelphia shot glass, to " ...keep me humble ..." I suppose. Or possibly I could have been tragically harmed in a way never to recover ...I could have learned to like the Eagles!

Resident life profile by Christina Feehan staff writer
Most people slap the snooze button at 6:30 a.m., slink out of bed, stumble into the shower and contemplate the ominous commute to the grey-walled office and their nine to five work day. For four Cabrini employees, however, the not-sogrey office is home. Catherine Caulfield, th~ only commuter on the resident life staff, has been the director of resident life for the past four years. Although she enjoys her position, Caulfield revealed that it is not always easy to solve problems on campus. She has certain goals for the year, including finding every resident a comfortable place to live. "People simply need to let us know what they want, and hopefully we can supply them to the best of our ability, but it is especially difficult this year," Caulfield said. Caulfield hopes that . the student body will earn to do things on their own, because some problems cannot be taken care of immediately. She and the rest of the resident life staff are thinking ofnext year and some of the realistic changes that may take place, such as the building of a new housing complex. "We are moving forward with issues such as visitation, and hopefully we will keep this trend going," Caulfield said. The assistant director of resident life, Scott Dorsey, is now in his third year at the college. This past Thursday, Dorsey's wife gave birth to Raven Marie, a 6-pound, 9-ounce baby girl. Thefamilywillremain inHousefour. Hewas a resident director when he fust came to Cabrini, but was promqted to assistant director of resident life programming. "I hope that the programming will be motivational and set up better than it was in the past," Dorsey said. He revealed that he has many responsibilities, and developing programs is a full-time job. Dorsey would like to improve the qm;tlityof programs on campus and make them more educational. He would also like to propose different activiiies instead of the always having the same old pizza parties.
RA Michelle Peranteau
"The students need a variety, something different to look forward to and bring them together," Dorsey said. A newcomer to Cabrini's campus, Laura Irwin, is the assistant director of Xavier hall. She began her job in July after working at Providence College for a year. Irwin graduated from Frostburg State University in Ma~y-

"My goals are to graduate in May and get my GPA over a 3.0," Barracliff admits. Michelle Peranteau, senior, is a transfer student from Pittsburgh and an arts administration major. She is also the RA for the Lanshe House and revealed that without a good RA and roommate her first year at Cabrini, she would never have stayed. Peranteau said that RAs are pivotal people and act as a voice for residents. According to Peranteau, RAs are students also, and are not out there to see how many people they can write up.

land with a masters in counseling psychology. "Cabrini reminds me of my alma mater, and I enjoy the challenging and rewarding area of higher education," Irwin said. "The opportunity to share experiences with younger people is exciting and I love my job." According to Irwin, this position does not allow her to have a closed mind. She would like to share what she has accomplished in her life and does not•!ike being seen as the wicked witch of the west. Irwin said she would go the extra mile for anyone, but deserves the students' respect. "I treat them as adults, and as long as they do not cross me, I will continue to respect them," hwin said. Sloane Gibb, the new resident director of Woodcrest, graduated from Ursiqus College in 1992. She spent a year teaching kindergarten, and now while working at Cabrini she is going for her master's degree. "Myjob as resident director is everything I expected and more," Gibb said. She stated that the people make her work worth while, and she hopes to use her experience to help students in gaining the same visitation as Xavier. Gibb cannot do it herself. She can only help the women of Woodcrest. "It is not for me to do, I have 24-hour visitation," Gibb said. This does not mean I will not do my best to help the situation." Things seem to be working themselves out and Gibb is surprised and happy to reveal that there are not as many problems as she expected. S t e v e Murray, se-
worth it. It is a difficult job, but it is rewarding," Murray admitted. Another returning RA is Priscilla Fuentes, senior. She is an early childhood/elementary education major and lives in the Dixon House. She enjoyed the position last year and decided to return. "The houses offer a different experience than Wood crest, where I lived previously. Everything is going smoothly and I am trying my best," Fuentes said. Her focus this year is getting the programming done and doing the best job she can. J e r r y Schaefer, the new Infante House RA, is a senior accounting major, with a minor in human resources. "I felt capable of doing the job, but ifl did not get the position, it would be no great loss," Schaefer said. His goals are to graduate and have the best year ever. He is enjoying his position but reveals that it is a great deal of work. Michelle McKenoa, living in the McManus House, is a senior education major. She took the job because she enjoys the leadership responsibility and likes helping people. McKenna lived in Woodcrest for three years and reveals that living in the houses is a very different experience. "I would like to provide the girls in my house with what they want and need, McKenna said. "We sit, share our ideas, and work together for the benefit of everyone."

In fact, Peranteau wants to be understanding because she recalls trying to get around the system as many students do now. Her main goal is to change the studen\s' perception ofRAs/RDs. Peranteau enjoys being an RA and acting as a resource for students as well as an advertiser of services. "~eing an RA is a social job and that is why I enjoy it," Peranteau said. MollieChesna, senior and Sullivan House RA, was an RA in Woodcrest last year. She is an education major as well as a council person for campus ministry.

Dr. ArthurE. Young
From Phillyto Radnor· by Brian Slatkowskl
staffwnter Where did you grow up and where did you go to school? I grew up in South Philly. I attended high school in the city at St. John Neumann and then left for Nobert College in Wisconsin. After I received my B.A. from Nobert, I went to Villanova to get my M.A. and then to the University of Pennsylvania for my Ph.D. After teaching at St. John Neumann High School in Philly, I came to Cabrini in 1975 to set up a male residency program and then started teaching English courses. What evoked your interest in litera-
ture? I wanted to be a psychiatrist but found that the purpose for teaching literature is to become more human, and that brought me into the field. Name one positive and one negative thing about Cabrini College. The good students, good co-workers, creative atmosphere and freedom. However, sometimes there seems to be a lack of appreciation for how hard people work. I have concerns for some of the stated goals of the new administration. What other work do you do? I am a member of the department of physical medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital in Norristown. I also am a consult-

Faithful to his friends, deadly to his enemies. Any predictions for the world in the next five years? I strongly feel that the United States is in danger of becoming a second-rate power because of our illiteracy rate. What thought do you remember from 1960? In sixth grade I was still afraid of nuns. I was waiting for the world to end, seriously. What is one thing you would like to change in life? People would be more human to one another, more tolerant.

Driving across a bridge and catastrophic illness. What do you think of your father? I love my dad and the way he makes macaroni and gravy.
Aries: Love is in the air all month. Your relationship will be exciting and rewarding. If you are without someone, get together this weekend or at the end of the month. You also will be sexually charged for all of October. Unfortunately, problems may occur in your career around the 22, and you may feel trapped until the end of the month. Taurus: You may feel frustrated in your relationships this month. You will be sexually energetic, but your lover may be reluctant. You will definitely have rough times around Parents' Weekend. But do something fun on the 14. Work may be tense around the 24. Also expect welcome responsibilities to your daily routine on the 15. Party hard around Halloween. Gemini: This month will be fun! Leisure is highlighted all month, especially the "super weekend" of the 15-18. Take a well-deserved vacation and relax! Have lots of fun and party at will. You may receive news from home in the early part of the month. Also, look out for disease from the 24 'til the end of the month, as your ruling planet, Mercury, makes a powerful conjunction with the Sun, Pluto and Mars. Cancer: This is also a good month for you to call home. You still may be feeling a little homesick from last month, but let it go starting the 18. The end of the month should be spent relaxing and taking a break from your hectic schedule. In the early part of the month, communicate with a partner to avoid the troubles you face around the 22. Leo: This will not be a good month for your relationships. Expect problems to reach a head around the 23. But you will be especially lucky with money up to the 17. Then your focus will switch to communicating with friends and family. Perhaps you should think about stepping back from the social scene (that you are no doubt dominating) and relaxing with your loved ones. Beware of the early cold on the 21. Virgo: You will have a great months for relationships, as you will be feeling extra-friendly and fun. Money this month also will be rolling in, as will the phone calls. You will be called on to give advice and may even find yourself the life of the party! Don't shrink back from the spotlight. You deserve it. Make sure to take those penicillin pills on the 23, as your body may be attacked by little germies.
month." You can rest easy until the 17, when your social scene comes calling. Watch out for a fall fling gone astray on the 23 and for relational problems this weekend. You will find the money coming in all month. Do not be surprised if you get a job, raise or promotion around the 18. The extra work will be rewarding and ultimately worth it. Enjoy this great month, Libra! Scorpio: You knocked yourself out for the first month of this school year. Now it is time for a break. You need to rest away from others for most of October. Look out for family disputes and arguments that may draw you out of your peace and quiet around the 21. Also, you may be asked to do extra work on the 24. Your energy will be high, but your attitude may not be up to the work. Look forward to the end of the month for a break and more fun! Sagittarius: You definitely need a break this month. The 18 provides a great opportunity for a vacation or break from the ho-hums of school and work. Your work may be very difficult all month. Money will be easy to get but will slip too easily through _your fingers. Watch out for bad news around-the 26. This will be a strange month where you feel out of sorts. November promises more of a steady schedule and less ambiguity. Capricorn: This will be another great month for your career and work. You will feel very earth and environmentally conscious this month as well and may give time and money to Greenpeace. This is a good month to think about goals and your future plans. Allow yourself to dream and act on those dreams. On the personal side, life may be a little boring, but watch out for a minor skirmish on the 22. Also, money may be the cause of some trouble on the 23. Aquarius: You may be frustrated with your relationships and friendships this month as you may be particularly moody. Your naturally wacky self will be txtra wacky around the 21, which may turn some people off. This is a great time for silent contemplation and goal searching. But you should make advances in your career and at work. Also, look to your signi_ficant other for some solace and TLC.
Pisces: The beginning of this month will be great in your romantic life. Venus will be in Virgo until the 17, so that means look for a passionate virgin to warm up your autumn nights. Your sex life will be great Libra: You usually shine in Octo-· this month, as will your career. Watch out for burnout on the 24. But ber, and this year is not any different.

Sister displaysart ·at Cabrini by Regina Miller
staffwrtter Southwest Community Enrichment Center was filled with activity. African American dolls, decorative pillows and traditional watercolors were scattered along the wall. Sister Helen Brancato's pieces of art filled the gaps. Brancato founded this art center three years ago. Brancato is preparing for her onewoman show on Cabrini's campus. The show will be located at the Fine Arts Gallery of Holy Spirit Library from Oct. 3 to Nov. 7. Exhibit hours are Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 1 la.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Brancato describes her style of _work as automatic. She is unsure if other artists use the technique. . "My art used to be realistic," Brancato said. "Now I do automati~ painting. The image emerges ... l just slap paint on a surface to music and it's nothing." Then Brancato said she takes a step back, looks at the colors and starts to visualize an image. "The image actually develops because it is what is inside of me," she said. "You bring your own experience to the painting. You find things that you don't even know are there." Most of the paintings at the art show will be done with this technique. Brancato prefers not to impose a painting style on the people. She also talks about an unusual image she painted of the Last Supper with women, men and children at the table. Brancato spoke of the Asher Lev books, "My Name Is Asher Lev" and "The Gift of Asher Lev," when she sharing her personal attitudes about family and community acceptance. "Sometimes the ones closest to you don't understand your art," she sa~d. "Sometimes in the community it's the same thing. If you take a risk with your art, not everybody is going to understand it. Sometimes it is a little difficult, but it makes you stronger in what you believe." Brancato noted that people take incredible risks when showing their art, especially if they are starting the pro-

"It is a simple philosophy. If what we are doing is of God, then the money will come, and it has for 25 years." Brancato does acknowledge the help of the initial community center that encouraged and assisted in the art center's induction. Ruth Barkley, another senior arnst, gained monetary rewards for one of her paintings and dabbled in her art as she chatted about all the activities. "We went to a Washington museum; different exhibitions, Penn's Landing, Walnut Street Theater, musicals and we showed some art at the Bryn Mawr Church," Barkley said. Brancato encouraged all members of the community to join the art center. "The studio is open from 9:30-5:30 everyday," she said, "for anyone in the community to work in and try their hand at painting, drawing, print making or just to sit and talk. We have a studio upstairs to accommodate those who want to work alone, especially when the little ones come." Brancato has hosted a number of volunteers at the art center, some lacking a traditional art education . Others were students from Villanova University and Swarthmore College. "Sometimes it is enough just to sit w(th the children and give them that undivided attention that they do not get at home," Brancato said. The Moore College of Art has invited all members of the art center to show their work in May and June of 1994 at the Levy Center. Great excitement is shared among the community. · Brancato has a quote by M.C. Richardson on one of the walls of the center that states, "I learn through my hands, and my eyes and my skin what I could never learn through my brain." A humble but significant quote in the world of Sister Helen Brancato.

The evening sun was slipping slowly down the western sky as thousands of people made their way Tuesday Sept. 14 toward the Spectrum. The Dead were in town.

Another look at "The TwilightZone" byGa~ White . atures,arts& enferfammanfeddor On Oct. 2, 19~9, Rod Serling first introduced America to a "fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.'' For the next six years stories dealing with various topics of science fiction were aired in "The Twilight Zone." Episodes dealt with such topics as immortality, nuclear disaster and visitation by little space men. Most shows had a twist ending or a little touch of irony. In the episode "Time Enough at Last," a man sells his soul tq the devil for everlasting life but soon wishes he had not. In order to save himself from the curse the man kills someone hoping to get the death penalty. It turns out the jury gives him life instead. In another episode, "The Eye of The Beholder," a man complains he never has enough time to read. So, one day he is sitting in a vault in the bank where he works reading when a nuclear explosion occurs outside. Everyone else is dead, but he has enough time to read all he wants. Until, he trips and breaks his glasses:
This is the dimension Ser ling created that is "as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call "The Twilight Zone."

Renovationsmade at local mall 20 stores that will be relocated.

Out with the old and in with the new. This is the feeling you get when you walk amid the million dollars of renovations taking place at the King of Prussia Plaza. Last January, the mission began. Relocations, closings and construction signs were seen immediately. JCPenney's was the first maj~---'{toreto move. Ward Wright, operation~ manager, said, "Penney's needed an outsidd entrance."

Bridget Russell, senior, said, "Right now the renovations are inconvenient, but hopefully they will improve the mall for the future.". "I feel the renovations are an inconvenience. There is construction all over the place," Sophomore Nikki LaRosa said. No Name, a woman'sclothingstore, isin its third location, according to Kelly Delaney, assistantmanager. They now are located across from The Food Court, between Capezio and Jean Country. Delaney said, "Sales have been down, but after renovations, they will pick up again." Marie Mize, branc;hmanager of Remington Products, said, "Once the renovation is finished, sales will incredibly jump. Our expectations are very high." • The Plaza Newsflash, a flyer circulating the mall, explains how ceilings, floors and interior designs will be installed. It tells customers to look forward to fountains, glass elevators and Italian marble floors. The Plaza Newsletter also indicates that Kiddie City, Care Charles, U.S. #1 and Hush
Puppies Shoes will all close. Gregory and Maria Jasillo, owners of Universal Art Gallery, purchased their store in 1980. On December 30, 1992, they occupied their original location, and by December 31, 1992, were prepared for their first customer at their new temporary location, next to Payless Shoe Source. "The renovations will put new economic life into the plaza.," Jasillo said. "It should make the King of Prussia area well-known." Maggie Mitura, sophomore, said, "The renovations are a pain. It is an inconvenience to have to walk through the smelly construction." Dann Trotter, senior, said, "The King of Prussia Mall didn't need renovations. It looked okay to me." Christina Savelli, first-year student, said, "Last week I visited King of Prussia and experienced the construction that was going on at the plaza. 1was totally confused and could not find my way around. I found myself going to the court for easier shopping and better atmosphere."

Tennis team aced but hopeful by Diane Wrobleski
staff Writer For those of you who may have been affected by the dreary, rainy weather of last week, there was but one group of high-energy optimists that did exist on campus. These individuals were working hard within the fencing of the tennis courts. They are the dedicated ladies of the women's tennis team. In Allentown on September 23, after a series of complications, including late arrival, rain and darkness that set in quickly, the team still managed to keep positive attitudes high. That day however, positive attitudes were not enough. Allentown came out on top. Cabrini fell 5-2. Senior Co-Captain Maryanne Walker stated, "The skill was there, but we just didn't play to our potential." Walker has become the team's top-ranking player for both singles and doubles., as a result of many challenging matches. Sophomore Kim Scarborough, co-captain with Walker and veteran player, is another strong, consistent player. She will continue to mend and work out the adjustments of the team for the next two years. Despite losses to Marywood, Wilkes, and Mt. Vernon, the team still remains strong. This is due to the degree of losses against these teams. Each loss was by the score of 5-4. The team beat undefeated Immaculata 8-1, Beaver 8-land Wesley 9-0. The scores indicate thee team is building strength. This proves to be even more true when considering that, within the PAC Conference, the team is 21. Since they are only a third through the season, there still is time to clear a straight path and come out on top. The majority of this year's team is made up of first-year students. As Head Coach Reggie Day explained,"Most prove to be excellent tournament players, as compared to just team players. During summer camp, they molded together nicely as a team. They became a real unit, almost like a family." "Sometimes it's true that freshman players may lack certain skills," Day said, "but they certainly make up for it through their positive attitudes and a strong willingness to do whatever it takes:" Morale is up because the players all pull the load of the team. "This team has the best overall attitude I've ever seen since I've coached at Cabrini," Day said, who has been coaching for 23 years, with six years invested at Cabrini. Day feels his team members take criticism well, correct errors and work for one another. He said, "There are no egos out there." "There are some exciting matches coming up in October., especially the Oct.14 match, when Cabrini plays Eastern at home," Day said. "Also, this year's PAC Championships are being held at home."

game. With the Super Bowl about three months away any teams still have a chance at it. The teams will be scratching and clawing their way to the top, on occasion drawing blood. It is definitely going to be a heck of a season! In baseball, Blue Jays fans will be happy to know that their team clinched the American League East title on Tuesday. The White Sox also won the American League West division title on the same day. The Braves and the Giant~ are battling down to the wire in the National League West. And how about those Phillies, who are so famous on the Cabrini campus, Ricky Jordan's RBI did put the Phillies ahead on Sunday but the Braves won the game 7-2. Dave Justice of the Braves was responsible for two of the Braves' runs in ·the second inning when he hit a two-run homer. The downfalls that hurt the Phillies were their sloppy fielding and the speed of the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies then traveled to Pittsburgh, where they clinched their first Eastern Division title in a decade. Mariano Duncan hit a grand slam on Tuesday night to give the Phillies a 9-4 lead, which the bullpen held for
the victory. The Phils will play either the Braves or the Giants in the NLCS. On September 6, the Ryder Cup-team for the United States were busy fighting for their country in England. The style of battle chosen was an aggressive game of golf. First to strike with a hard blow was the U.S. player Jim Gallagher, with his win over Steve Ballesteros. Tim Kite, refusing to let his team and country down, stepped all over Langer. Dave Love's putt on the Number 18, against Constantino Rocca, was another impressive move by the U.S. team. Though the U.S. was doing well throughout the game, there still were the matter of only two points separating the teams the entire day. As both teams continued to sweat, the oldest player in the cup history decided to show his stuff. Raymond Floyd fought for an overall tie on the 16th hole and cleaned the field with Europeans on the 18th without even having to _flex for his putter. The United States defeated Europe and denied the losing of the Ryder Cup, which was regained at South Carolina in 1991. The American's 15-13 victory brought their Ryder Cup record to 23-5-2.

even match in the first half, but we came strong in the second and scored within the first 10 minutes." Powers felt the game against Misericordia was "one of the best games we ever played as a team." He felt the exact opposite about the Merchant Marine game. "If Misericordia was the best we ever played, then the Merchant Marine game was the worst we've ever played," Powers said. Luckily for the Cavs, the Merchant Marine game was not a league game. The Cavaliers were down by three when Marty Meehan scored their only goal. "There was no communication," Powers said," We were just kicking the ball and hoping it would go some where useful." Winters felt the team could have been more prepared to face Merchant Marine. "We didn't think they were going to be that good ... I don't know why, we just didn't," Winters said. _ Giles said, "We were on such an emotional high after our win over Misericordia, we didn't really prepare for Merchant Marine." Giles also felt that Merchant Marine had an advantage over Cabrini. "They scouted us to see how we played, while we had no idea what they were going to be like." Giles-attributed a lot of Merchant Marines' ability to the fact that they were so well-conditioned. "The guy I was covering just kept running back and forth," Giles said, "that guy could have run all day." Wally Fiore, junior, attributed the loss to the mentality of the Cavs. "We just came out flat and could never really get anything going." "We played their game instead of ours," Giles said. "If we were to play. them again, I'm sure that we could beat ,them." Cabrini will take on Beaver College and Stockton State College at home this week.

Cabrini's men's soccer team faced two s·eparate opponents this week, with different endings in each. The first game was against Misericordia, and the Cavs were triumphant, winning 2-1. Then they faced the U.S. Merchant Marine, and the ending was not as positive, losing 3-1. Both g,.imes took place on Cabrini's field. "We dominated Misericordia," First -year student Jeff Winters said. Winters scored the first goal of the game. "We shot, we passed, we kicked their ass," Winters went on to say. Junior Mike Tims, who is a captain, scored the final game- winning goal. Tims also had an assist on Winters' goal. Jason Paolini is a senior and tri-captain with Tims and Jason Giles. Paolini felt the team really came together against Misericordia. "We played at a higher level than we did in the past," Paolini said. Lou Powers, junior, couldn't agree more. "We looked and played like a team, " Powers said. Fran Kelly, sophomore, was not surprised with the higher level of play. "I think we always play better at home," Kelly said. "The fans really psyched us up." Giles, also a senior, took a more pragmatic look ;it Wednesday's game. Giles talked about the importance of the game in relationship to the Cavs' PAC standing. Since there are only four teams in the division this year,. Misericordia, Beaver, Eastern and Cabrini, it is important that Cabrini wins all its divisional games. "We had to beat Misericordia to make the PAC play-offs," Giles said. "Misetcordia was a good team. They were 4 and O before we played them." "We knew whoever scored the first goal would go on to win the game," said Sophomore Joe Koroly. "It was a pretty
