The money is raised through a number of different ways. This is done through mailing letters, direct mail, face-to-face and phone-a-thons. According to Stabley, the phono-a-thons seem to be the most e~ective. They are done every fall and spnng

When talking face-to-face with a sponsor, the office speaks to friends, trustees, alumni and family. Larger gifts come from corporations and other businesses.

After institutional advancement receives contributions, money then goes to offices such as financial aid and the business office.

According to Elizabeth Cairns, director of financial aid, her office has little to do with institutional advancement. However, financial aid informs institutional advancement of its scholarship and aid needs.

She said money is filtered through the business office and then given to financial aid for needy students.

'Lost souls' of Cabrini banished

The name of parents weekend was changed to family weekend to accommodate the needs of current students. The weekend was intended to include the entire family of Cabrini College, not just parents. A significant portion of this Cabrini family, however, was excluded.

These lost souls were the alumni.

Where were the alumni this past weekend? Most were not on campus because, for the first time, family weekend and alumni homecoming were separated.

According to Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs, one of the main reasons behind the switch was because alumni had trouble splitting their time between the different events.

Ironically, in the past there was "too much to do" on campus. Soccer games were in full force, floats glided by and speakers addressed alumni. As graduates were running amidst all the events, activities specifically planned for them suffered from lack of attendance.

Therefore, alumni affairs lost money. And when alumni affairs loses money. the college suffers. What were they to do?

This year reunion weekend was held in June, when no other activities were taking place on campus. Since students were not present, alumni were able to stay in the houses or nearby hotels. The 1994 homecoming also will held in June.

There is an obvious down side to having homecoming during the summer. Alumni return to campus to see the students and faculty they have left behind. The people that alumni come back to see obviously are not here at this time of year.

Alumni contribute money and expertise to the college and maintain a lively Cabrini spirit beyond our" 110 rolling acres." They want to see firsthand the changes made at their alma mater. Any physical changes, positive or negative, do not have the same impact without the "personal touch" for which Cabrini supposedly is known.

The chill in the air, the changes in the leaves and the spirit of an active Cabrini campus are what compel tne aJummto reminisce abuul lhcir dayo atthi3 in5titution.

Treasured memories create lifetime of standards

Who I am today is a result of ill! parents.

Gary White, Features/Arts &Entertainment Editor

When I woke up on January 26, 1985, I thought it would be an average Saturday. I was wrong. I did not realize it at the time, but my whole life could have changed for good.

At 9:30, I came downstairs and found my brothers and sisters, of which there are many, standing around in the kitchen. I did not understand why they were there, but I was soon to learn. My mother and father were nowhere to be found, and when I asked where they were, all I got was questioning looks back and forth.

One of my sisters, I do not recall which one, sat me down and told me that my father was in the hospital. He was taken in during the night complaining of chest pains.

My father had suffered a heart attack.

At the time I was only 11 and did not understand what this meant. I just went about doing my normal Saturday activities. I went into the living room and watched my cartoons and then "Voyagers."

Tt was ate.afternoon when my mother came home. She was noticeably upset, but this did not affect me. I still went over to her and said hello as usual and went about my day as if nothing were wrong.

I guess, looking back, it was good I was young and did not completely understand. I did not know what death was and really had no experience with it before.

A few years earlier my uncle died of a heart attack around Christmas. I just thought he was gone for awhile. One of my sisters, Nancy, told my other sister Donna an~ me about my uncle during a commercial for "Frosty the Snowman."

I am very happy to say my father turned out all right. I do not know what I would have done if he did not. I cannot image life without my father.

Many of the things I have done in my life are because of my father. He is the reason I am a certified locksmith and chain saw sharpener today.

How can you not respect a man anc! woman who raised 14 children on on. paycheck and never deprived their ch11dren of anything?

How can you not respect a man and woman who were marned on August 21 1948. and are still married today?

How can you not respect a man and woman who have been through ever} illness known to man, including heart attacks and cancer?

How can you not respect a man and woman who have given all their live. and have never thought of taking?

I may be a little biased, but hey, the) are my parents, and I am very proud to be able to say it.

No matter what happens in my life, I will know that my parents are there for me. They help me whenever I need it and give me support in all I do. One of the best things about them is they share all they have with others. Whenever someone needs help, they are always there. Right now, my father is helping my sister put an addition on their house and he just finished helping a famil) friend with work at their house. This is not something new. He has always been like this.

I just hope someday I will be as good a person as both my parents are. I also hope to be as good a parent as both have been. My parents are the best!

I would never have imagined it, but my father and I took correspondence courses in these subjects. Every weekend my father and I would sit al the kitchen table and do the new lesson we just received in the mail. Then we would work on the demonstration lock sent to us. Although these lessons were boring, I treasured them. I treasured them because ii was a time for my father and me to spend together.

One bad thing about these lessons is I now have a box of 500 business cards saying ·'Gary·s Locksmithing'' on them sitting in a drawer.

My father is also the reason I have a real estate license today.

Some fathers want their children to be doctors, others want them to be lawyen,. My father wanted a real estate agent, and that is what he got. Now I just have to make some money at it.

My father and mother have given me so much, and I am very grateful they are mine. I do not think I would exchange them for anything.

As quoted in every issue of Loquitur, pg. 2, "If a letter is too long for the available space, the editor may edit or condense it." The editors deemed it necessary to shorten all letters in the previous issue.due to space constraints. The letter above, however, has not been altered.

Also, pg. 5 of "The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel .Manual" states, under the title of academic d_epartments, "Use lowercase except for words that are proper nouns or adjectives: the department of history, the history department, the department of English, the English department." Therefore, "English/communications department" is correct AP style.

.Student reacts to resident assitant profile article

To the Editor:

Last week I was misquoted in an article concerning the Resident Life Staff. As an RA I was asked to comment on why I wanted the position and what I was hoping to get out of the experience. The statement in the Loquitur read that I like being an RA because I "like living at free room and board." Unfortunately, it is not just the faulty grammar of this statement that upsets me_. I did not give this information to the reporter with whom I spoke. For me, there are many other aspects of being an RA that take precedence over this one, including helping people and being an active part of the environment in which I live. I can assure everyone that benefits of being an RA far exceed receiving free room and board. For if they did not, there would either be 17 very miserable men and women on our staff, or there would be no staff at all.

I am also writing this letter out of concern for the quality of journalism the Loquitur represents. Several times throughout the past two years I have been interviewed by members of the newspaper staff. Each time I have cooperated and been honest with all that I have said. I am not afraid to be directly quoted or even paraphrased in any article. I do mind having words, that are not mine, placed into my mouth by those whom have interviewed me. I am quite concerned that I am not the only victim

of this extreme violation. The fact that this has happened to me on more than one occasion concerns me that the quality of the newspaper that is being produced by the college is less than acceptable.

If one is given the privilege of writing and reporting for the Loquitur, I would hope that they would have the decency and respect to be honest in what they say about those of whom they report. Reporters and editors must realize that the printed word is not something to be dealt with on a meaningless basis. It is very important to be sure that what you write is totally· accurate before it is published. What is wrongly stated cannot be as easily retracted as you would like to think. Those who allow many mistakes and misinterpretations to exist in their periodical cannot always guarantee the same readers will read a retraction or a correction.

The articles in the Loquitur that have misquoted what I have said have caused minimal inconvenience in my life. However, it would displease me greatly to see it happen to any degree again. I would like to caution the journalists of this college to be careful in what they print and to be accurate in what they say is true. For is it not some sense of truth that you seek in publishing this paper?

Sincerely,

Caroline Smith, junior

Clinton health plan impacts

~(limon,1,3.5proposedarestructuringofthehealthcaresystemthatwillguarantee health care for all Americans. The proposal would use financial incentives to encourage consumers tojoin low-cost health maintenance organizations and would push doctors, hospitals and insurers together in networks.

The goal of this plan is to make consumers aware of the cost of health care and to aeare competition between health insurance companies, which should lower costs and supply better service.

The National Health Board, which consists of seven members appointed by the president, will be in charge of monitoring state compliance and the functioning of health alliances, interpretthe standard benefitpackage and make suggestions on new benefits.

This board would also be responsible for publicized reports <;>nthe quality of service and care offered by health plans. A committee will keep track of drug prices to see if they are unreasonable. This will help make prescription drugs accessible to everyone.

UnderOinton's proposed plan, employers would be responsible for at least 80 percent of the average cost of premiums in their region and for supporting family coverage for married workers.

Employees would contnbute an averageof 20 percent toward their own insurance premiums and any required deductJ.blesor co-payments.

Employees with good health insurance wouldsee little difference if they are already belong to H.M.O.,and some would have more plans to choose from.

Uninsured workers would be required to purchase coverage, and employers would be required to contribute. Employees would pay 20 percent of the cost if they chose an average priced premium and less if they chose a cheaper premium.

Self-employed workers and unemployed individuals would be required to buy insurance, paying the full cost of the premium, un_Iess they qualify for government subsidies. The cost would be fully tax deductible, in comparison to

Student Academic Council re-evaluates goals for school year

by Shella Brady staff writer

The Student A.qldemic Council; better known as SAC,isheadedformajorreconstitution this school year.

SAC is a student-run organization intended fo act as a liaison between the stu• dents and faculty.

SACwasfoundedin 1969. Accordingto Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, SAC was founded to keep the lines of communicationopenbetweenfacultymembers and students.

Karen Szczurek. vice president of SAC, said the council plans to revaJ!)p its whole program. The coucilwill go through a reoonstitution process and re-evaluate their goals.

The largest obstacle is that the student body is not quite aware they exist, she said.

Szczurek said SAC Spc)liSOredthe book sale last spring and plans to bold another in the spring of 1994.

The book:sale is a service that SAC provides to save students money and, at the· same time, lo make a profit.

Students give SAC their used textbooks and tell them how much they would like to sell the boob for. SACthen sells the books and keeps a 10 percent profit.

During the mi~itennand end of semester periods,when many studentshavela.stminute papers or exams, SAC provides a pricel~ service for students. The council keep1>.the libraryopen.

Each member takes a late night or early morning shift, takes care of the library and locks up, Szczurek said.

Evecy two years SAC provides a faculty profile of each teacher at Cabrini. In it are such facts as whether a teacher likes to test with multiple choice or essay questions.

According to Sz.czurek,SAC would like to start an exam file in which each faculty member would submit old exa~.

Therefore, before taking an exam, students could look in the file to better prepare themselves for the exam.

Dr. Thomas Boeke,.provost, would like

the 25 percent tax deductible which is in effect now.

Individualswho are self-employed individuals would be tteared like small businesses, potentially eligiKe for subsidies.

Unemployedindividuals with little or no income would pay little to keep full coverage; they would contribute on a sliding scale, paying full cost if income exceeds 250 percent of the poverty line.~

The government also would subsidize costs for many small and low ·wagebusinesses and for individuals who have incomes below 150 percent the poverty line.

Under this plan, Medicare payments would continue for the elderly and the disabled. Medicaid also would continue to pay for the poor, but now it would go through health alliances.

These health alliances would be run by the states, under the watchful eye of the federal government. These regional groups would collect and distribute premiums, certify health plans and offer them to consumers.

The government will subsidize retirees under the age of 65 who are not yet eligible for

Medicare. If they are not covered by a former employer or pension plan, they could get coverage through the alliance and pay only_20 percent, as if they were employed.

Medicare recipients would continue to receive the same benefits, plus new prescription drug and home-care coverage.

Once alliances are established, people turning 65 have the option of remaining in their former health plan, paying any difference between Medicare contribution and plan cests.

Medicaid recipients would receive mainstream medicine, signing up for a plan through the alliance. Federal and state governments would make set payments to the health plan. Recipients could choose any plan with premium at or below the regional average without making additional payments.

Students attending school full-time in a distant location, but covered under their parents policy, would sign up for coverage thorough the alliance where they attend school. A portion of family and employer premium payments would be transferred from the home alliance to the alliance providing coverage.

Week devoted to healthy relationships

SAC also is interested in pos.siblystarting a column in Loquitur.

_ Szczurek said that practically everything SAC inten~ to do must be approved by Boeke. She said, "He's been very open to all our ideas."

SAC also sponsors a grievance procedure. If a student has an important academic problem with a faculty member, he/she can bring it to the Academic Suggestions and Grievances Committee (ASGq.

The faculty handbook states, "The chairperson of the SAC must clearly and concisely present the issue to the ASGC.

The validity of the issue will be determined by a majority vote. Once an issue has been determined valid, the faculty member and student involved must be no• tified.

After a joint meeting (consisting of three SAC members and three faculty members), the committee will suggest a resolution and present it to teacher and student involved.

"The SAC is a vital part of this pro~," according to Dr. Jolyon Girard, professor of history.

"Many people do not realize that there is a fonnal process for grievances and that students do, in fact have to go straight to SAC fus4 "George Qark, SAC president, said.

As a former member of the Academic Council, Romano said he hopes to see SAC "change and be expanded to cover curricular issues."

He said he also would like to see more input from students about certain policies such as add/drQp, credit system and other items such as syllabuses.

"We are looking to advertise more," Clark said. ''We'll be spreading the word more."

Meetings are once a month. Anyone interested in sharing their ideas about Core Curriculum, courses or any academicissue •should contact Szczurek or Clark.

Healthy Relationship Week heightens awareness on all different types of relationships between males and females. This is the second year the event takes place on Cabrini's campus.

La~t year there were different workshops for students and parents and the highlight was the Newlywed Game. Seniors John Quirus and Melissa Massaro, who have been dating since they were seniors in high school, took part in the game.

This year the Newlywed Game was eliminated. Topics focusing on relationships with someone who has AIDS, Gays and Lesbians, men and women just being friends, learning how to be friends with parents and long distance relationships were on the agenda for the week.

On Sunday, Fr. Ambrose Cashman gave a homily on relationships. The topic of Monday's program was surviving long distance relationships.

Tuesday's program was titled "We 're just friends: Friendships between men and women." The topic was platonic relationships.

Junior Amy Gillette, resident assistant of Woodcrest, put together the program. She felt that not enough people have come out to support He.althy Relationship Week.

Gillette feels the week is a good idea and includes issues that should be dealt with.

Assistant Director of Resident Life Scott Dorsey looked forward to the event and would like more students to attend Ellen Schectman, a counselor in the Rudy Rooyman Counseling Center, said Monday's and Tuesday's programs were thought up by students. The other programs were designed by the counseling center.

Heidi Levine, who just started this August in her position as director of counseling services, was optimistic about theweek. She organized the program on loving someone gay or lesbi~n Levine urged staff, students, friend~ and family to attend the different events Levine said, "Relationships seem to conflict between men and women. It is important that we bind a more healthy relationship between them."

FEATURES

"First of all, the numbers of Native Americans are greatly overestimated," Hedtke said.

"Definite! y question the scope. The scope ends up to be 70 to 90 percent of people dying of disease."

Hedtke spoke of Columbus as an evangelist. "Columbuswasamanofhistime,"Hedtke said, "a time when Catholicism was up against Islam. He lived during the period of reformation versus counter reformation."

In the January/February issue of"Peace and Freedom," the magazine of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, writer Hans Koning claimed, "There is not one conversion of a Native American to Catholicism on record for Columbus's time. His was a trading expedition, and even that is a painful euphemism. He had nothing to trade but trinkets."

Girard explained the variety of interpretations of Columbus' importance.

"It depends on your heritage,'' Girard stated.

"It is very complicated. Italian Americans are happy that a Genoese opened up an entire hemisphere. Europeans appreciate the effort, but the Native Americans are upset''

Koning wrote. "And when it is asked why a man who has been dead for 486 years should be exposed, the answer is that not he, but we, this nation, its honor and its future, are on trial in 1992. He was but the foremost of the many false heroes who, with a false sense of courage and manliness, have burdened our national spirit. The very name 'Columbus Day' i5 still an insult to every native and black American, and indeed to all of us."

Hedtke's perspective lent an interesting twist. He claimed Columbus lacked intent, as far as native genocide. He said the Spanish may have assimilated the North Americans into Spanish culture but did not attempt to eliminate them. Hedtke stated, "There is a combination of both cultures that exists in Central and South America. This was not a holocaust where you see a separation of cultures.

"There was a type of enslavement used,"Hedtke continued."Why would you want them to die? You want them to work, not die.''

A process of eliminating myths in education was touched on by Bever!y Bryde, secondary education coordinator. She talks of the forces that assist in the dissipation of myths.

"The schools are trying to get a wider viewpoint," she said. "The time to introduce the controversy with the facts depends on the development readiness of the student."

Jeannine Zapiec, sophomore, said, in regard to Columbus Day, "Well, I get a day off,'' but, on a more serious note, "I truly believe in it, since the Indians were the first ones in America. That is if you think of it logical!y. ••

Harris began to plan the weekend last January. She met with Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, president, to discuss ideas and goals for this year's event. Iadarola wanted to change the name of the event from Parents Weekend to Family Weekend.

The change was made to dispel any feelings of awkwardness a student may encounter if they did not have a parent or parents to attend. The change opened the weekend to not just parents but an aunt, uncle or cousin, according to Harris.

The campus activities for Saturday also were modified, Harris said. The float parade was deleted, and there was a faculty-parent reception added in the morning. Remaining from years past were the theatre scenes and home sporting events. The dinner dance remained on the agenda. as did

a great courage and conviction in his ideas, and he wanted to see them through, Hedtke said.

"He was t_ryingto overcome the obstacles that everyone set for him. This is the most important event for both European history and the history of the Western Hemisphere in years. To not discuss it or honor it is Iudicrous.''

Sharon Metz, director of Honor of Our Neighbors Origins and Rights, (HONOR), shared her views on the celebration.

"We have no other national holiday that honors someone who has such a dubious record and that honors a man other than an event," Metz said. "Martin Luther King is the exception, but he was a promoter of peace and honored for his contribution--not an exploiter."

Metz claimed the survival of the American Indians pre-empted human rights

"You have to survive before disputing the celebration of your oppressor,'' Metz said. "It's a myth, and you are celebrating a lie. His activities were genocide to an entire population."

Mass and Sunday morning brunch. Students reacted to the weekend with mixed emotions. Senior Janice Reuter was upset that the dance seemed to end so early.

"They should have booked the room longer," Reuter said. "Everyone left so early.''

Senior John Quiros was upset at the lack of publicity. "No one seemed to know what was going on until it was happening," he said. The inefficient publicity was a concern of many students. Toni Ann Bibi, senior, said Kappa should have organized the publicity better. "The tickets were not on sale when the poster said, and students were confused,'' Bibi said.

According to Harris, she knew there was a problem with publicity. "I'm not denying that I publicized people would be there (outside the cafeteria) selling tickets,'' Harris said, "The girls didn't show up. I can ·1 be their mother."

Beth Mulvihill, senior, voiced concern regarding the overall organization. "People need to ask for help," Mulvihill said. "One person cannot pull off the entire weekend."

First-year student Jennifer Ellsworth was pleased with the events of the weekend. "The food was good, the DJ played a nice mix and

Amy Jackson, first-year student, agreed. "It was a lot of fun," Jackson said.

Jackson and her parents met Dr. Anthony Tomasco, psychology department chair, attended the theatre scenes and watched the soccer game. They also went to the dinner dance, according to Jackson. "I would go again next year," Jackson said.

Dena Della Rocca, senior and vice president of Kappa, was pleased with the overall results. "There was a lot of time and organization put into the event," Della Rocca said.

According to Della Rocca, Kappa was a !1ttle rocky in the beginning. She attributed this to a lack of time commitment from some members.

"There were a few key members who put a lot of time and energy into the organization of the event,., Della Rocca said.

The dinner dance was attended by more people this year than last, according to Harris. There were 403 people at the dinner this year, as compared with 377 from last year. Despite the confusion over the selling of tickets and the concern over publicity, the numbers show people came, Harris said. ''I am very pleased with the results," Harris said, "I did what I could do."

~Review -~-----Aman and his women

by Margaret Maio staffwnter

Neil Simon is known for his humorous and touching plays that have a human quality everyone can relate to. This rings true in his latest venture, "Jake's Women," playing at the Walnut Street Theater.

"Jake's Women" is a heart-warming play about a fiftysomething workaholic author named Jake. Jake faces marital disaster when his wife of eight years, Maggie, asks for a trial separation. Added to this Jake encounters writer's block.

Maggie has left Jake because she says he needs to "live" life, rather than observe it as a writer. Alone Jake remembers the many women of his life, as he tries to come to grips with his past so that he may move on with his life.

Through the course of the play the audience is invited into the mind of Jake, which often treads a thin line between reality and fantasy. The set helps the audience distinguish the difference between the real and imagined characters

upon the stage.

Jake's apartment is seen, but behind the furniture where a wall should be is a large black backdrop. Whenever the audience is in the mind of Jake, the backdrop illuminates in a multitude of tiny colorful specks that looks like a million stars in the sky.

The use of such a device allows the audience to distinguish between Jake's real encounters and those he has created in his head. Often part of the backdrop is lit, showing the crossover between the real and the imagined.

"Jake's Women" is directed by William Roudebush. His use of the stage and set is very strong, and the audience has a clear understanding of where Jake's territory is and where he is in less control. The cha.racters are very comfortable together, and there is a strong relationship between Jake and his women.

Who are Jake's women? In addition to Maggie, the group includes first wife Julia, whose death 10 years ago still haunts Jake; Karen, his assertive sister; Edith, his no-nonsense shrink; Molly,

Helmer. Barbara Tirrell, Susan Cella and Mimi Bensinger. his daughter at ages 12 and 21 and Sheila, his mistress.

Paul Hebron does a fantastic job as the distraught Jake. The play consists of a number of reflective monologues which Hebron handles very well. The audience feels the pain and the anger that Jake is trying desperately to work out.

Barbara Tirrell, Maggie, plays her part with ease, and the audience likes this character from the start. Maggie is a very human character full of wants, needs and desires.

The other characters all were played very well, and were very believable in their roles.

"Jake's Women" is full of funny moments. These generally occur when a cross is made of Jake's imagined world into his reality. Simon also has filled his play with witty one-liners and en-

dearing human truths.

"Jake's Women" entertains and provokes. The audience leaves the theater chuckling and crying in the same breath "Jake's Women" is currently playing at the Walnut Street Theater in Center City. The show is running through November 7, and tickets range from $21 to $38, with student, group and senior discounts available. For more information contact the box office at (215) 574-3550

Review True Romance

by Brian Siatkowski staff writer

The title "True Romance" suits this movie as much as "Erotica" would suit Mother Cabrini's autobiography. This is no teen-age, small town U.S.A. love story.

In his most magnificent performance yet, Christian Slater has bloomed. He is not merely the stem of "True Romance, "he also gives this exceptional movie a healthy steadiness that brings together urban American romance and an "uppercut" cynicism of the checks and balances of getting ahead.

Quentin Tarantino, "True Romance" screen playwright, reflects his early achievement of "Reservoir Dogs," (another rebel trying to make good story).

Clarence Worley, Slater, is introduced to Alabama Whitman, Patricia Arquette, in this dumpy movie theater. She "stumbles" upon him and, after Slater takes her home, she is there in the morning. They are in love.

Worley proudly manages a comic book store in Detroit and is an Elvis obsessor. He lives in a lonely apartment and talks to a silhouette of Elvis several times in the movie.

The cast is sprinkled with a slew of seasoned actors. Val Kilmer, Bronson Pinchot and Gary Oldman add their own flavorful personalities to the movie. Brad Pitt portrays a shiftless yet comical pothead. The drug lord rests easy in the convincing eyes of Gary Oldman, and Christopher Waiken stands off with Dennis Hopper, Slater's father, in a sensational questioning scene.

"Get it quick" mentality races right along

Sophomore Laura Barnett plays local music during her show on Sunday nights. with the drugs and fast carsof the movie, but the quick, ever-draining turns, concerning the emotional highs and lows, smack the movie along at a treacherous pace. The scenes when Slater and Arquette transport cocaine that they steal from Alabama's ex-pimp from Detroit to Los Angeles, in order to prosper on a big payoff, and the final confrontation, both keep suspense and perspective, with the constant pursuit of the drug mob behind Slater and Arquette urging on the movie.

The theme of prostitute-gone-good who falls in love with the naive Slater, a comic book salesman, is a nice spin-off of the drag-throughthe-dirt love story.

The harsh "in your face" dialogue throughout the movie is alluring. Slater jeopardiz.es the life of police-wired Pinchot in an almost breathstopping scene. Another more subtle periodof Worley declares, "I'm not a fag or anything, but if I had to f--· a guy, it'd be Elvis." This allows a gentle entrance of a controversial issue into our skin, in hopes of turning our attention to the finer stereotypes of life. Vexing stereotypes are found in several scenes, giving it another realistic touch on the 20th century's social ignorance.

The crisp, ruthless violence in the movie is beautiful. The soft loves scenes are tragic. This zesty combination gives "True Romance" the balance to allow it one of the best movies of 1993.

In an attempt to ease the standoff with Yeltsin's opponents holed up in the parliament building, negotiators from both sides agreed on Thursday. Sept. 30 to restore electricity if the unyielding lawmakers ratify a plan to surrender their weapons. This agreement, however, was not accepted, greatly increasing the chances of violence erupting.

President Clinton, like most Americans, was taken by surprise by the events in Moscow. He moved quickly, however, to throw the support of the United States behind Yeltsin in his showdown with the Russian Parliament. In doing s•o, the United States has decided that Yeltsin's suspension of a Parliament elected under Communist Party voting rules is acceptable.

The upheaval of the government, plus the fear of bloodshed, has caused the U.S. Embassy in Russia to issue an advisory to Americans planning on visiting Moscow to "exercise caution.·, This warning could have a serious impact on Cabrini as well.

According to Helene Hennigan, head language department, both she and Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, president, met this past summer with Roustem Bichurin, director of the Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Foreign Languages in Nizhny Novgorod, to discuss setting up an exchange program of faculty and students between the college and the Institute.

college is also making more efforts to get international students to study here.

The Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Foreign Languages, founded in 1937 on the basis of foreign language courses, provides academic programs in languages and linguistics at bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels. Since the opening of the City of Nizhny Novgorod (formerly Gorky) to foreign visitors in 1991, the Institute has been hosting groups of students from Western Europe and the United States studying Russian language and culture.

"Although the title of the Institute mentions foreign language, the Cabrini exchange is not limited to language majors," Hennigan said. The exchange program is also open to business majors and students of sociology. as well as a number of other possibilities, including internships.

Iadarola is invited as a guest of the Russian government during Thanksgiving break this November to hammer out the details of the exchange link between the Institute of Foreign Languages and Cabrini. as welJ as to talk with the presidents of various colleges in Russia about the American higher education system and privatization of colleges.

The Nizhny Novgorod Institute, however, is located appro.ximately 188miles southeast of Moscow. where the daily struggle between Yeltsin and his opponents is being waged.

"I would be hesitant of sending anyone, faculty or students, in light of the situation in Russia," Jadarola said. "Whatever happens in Russia will very much affect what will happen with the exchange program."

Even so, Iadarola remains optimistic.

"Negotiations between the two schools are still getting through.'' she said. Many of ladarola's contacts in Russia also seem to think that Yeltsin will prevail and things will

work themselves out.

"It's important to allow our students to study and travel abroad," Iadarola said. "It is a learning experience that one never forgets. The more Cabrini can do to prepare its students to live and work in the next millennium is really exciting."

Many Cabrini students seem to think thlll the prospects of studying abroad and allowing foreign students to come to America to learn about our lifestyle and culture is a good idea.

JohnCunicelli, first-year student, felt the exchange link is a great objective for the college to have. "Russians seem to hate Americans," he said. "If they had the opp0rtunity to come here to study and learn our culture, they would realize we are basically just like them, with only a few differences."

Katie Ellis. first-year student, was hesitant about the exchange program. "In the thought process. it's a good idea, but no teacher or student is going to go into a country where so much turmoil is occurring in their political system," Ellis said. "If the turmoil should calm down, however, it would be a great learning experience."

In an effort by faculty to promote international studies and prepare students who wish to study abroad, once the final details have been worked out between the Institute of Foreign Languages and Cabrini, the language department will offer Russian 101 in the Spring of 1994.

Any student who has fulfilled the competency requirement in Spanish, French, Italian or German may take the Russian 101 class on a pass/fail option. ''This is allowed in order to encourage language study by all majors," said Hennigan. So. as the tumultuous events continue to unfold in Moscow, the world, and Cabrini, awaits.

Bogia said,"We' re coming close to meeting the challenge. Right now, we are asking alumni, parents and everyone involved in the Cabrini community, to help raise the one million dollars we need."

According to Director ofDevelopment MaJ) Helen Herzog, there may be little interaction because the development office isa one-person department. Herzog said, "Faculty speak with me informally about enhancing their programs." She added, "It is my job to go out and raise money. By doing this, I'm representing the students and the students are benefiting from their teachers."

On the other hand, professors such as Dr Joseph Romano, professor of philosoph). worked closely with him last year on the Inauguration Committee. Romano said,"Ever. though I don'thavedirectlinks with Mr. Stable) I saw how personable he is, how easy he is to get along with. He's very competent."

Hedtke said. "Mr. Stabley has proven hi~ expectations through the Dixons' Challenge a~ well as the increase in enrollment this schoo. year." Hedtke added that with a position like Stabley's, it is unfair to make any judgment~ after one year. •'After the next two to three years, we' 11have a better understanding of who Stewart Stabley is and whether or not he'<: living up to his expectations and promises.''

Stewart Stabley, vice president of institutional advancement, has been a member of the Cabrini community for about one year. Stable} received a bachelor's degree in journalism at Pennsylvania State University and later a masters degree in communications management and 12 years in higher education institutions.

Throughout his career, Stabley worked for 15 years in corporate management and 12 years in higher education institutions.

Prior to his responsibilities at Cabrini. Stabley spent time at Allentown College of Saint Francis De Sales, Northwestern University and Illinois University.

On a individual basis, student involvement is due to other reasons. "At fust I initially became involved with the project to fulfill my Seminar 300 requirement," Chesna said. "But this year I decided to come back because it is more than just teaching someone how to read. You learn so much about society andalotofthe influences of the environment."

Stoppin' the Chop

by Bob Macartney sporls editor

A sea of red and white engulfed the Kennedy Plaza at noon on Wednesday, as Phillies fans of all ages, sexes and backgrounds came together to rally their team.

The rally was the idea of 610 WIP Morning Show hosts Tony Bruno. Al Morganti and Angelo Cataldi. They had been organizing the event since the Phillies clinched the pennant in Pittsburgh the previous week.

Some of the personalities who were present included ex-Flyer Ed Hospodar. the mayor of Philadelphia, Ed Rendell, Sixers announcer John Guravitch, 1980 World Series hero Tug McGraw and boxing announcer Michael Buffer, as well as the reigning Miss Pennsylvania and Channel Three anchorwoman Jennifer Ward.

A multitude of fans, ranging from women carrying babies to businesspersons holding signs, turned out to help ''Stop the Chop:'

Kevin O'Keefe, a graduate student from Temple University, was one of the multitude.

O'Keefe said. "The last time the Phillies made it to the playoffs, I was selling pennants on the street. I figured that this was the best way to prepare for the playoffs."

Rendell opened the proceedings by declaring it Philadelphia Fan Appreciation Day.

McGraw drew one of the loudest ovations by bringing out a newspaper from the day after the Phils had won the Series in 1980. The headline read "We Win!"

McGraw then said, "In two weeks, one of your favorite 1993 Phillies will be holding up a paper with the same headline."

Buffer finished the pep rally off with his famous line, "Let's get ready to rumble."

Judging from the turnout, Philly is ready.

PhilliesPhever

by Timothy Wonson staff writer

I may not have a "phever," but rm definitely coming down with something. It was late last Wednesday night when the Phi lies clinched their division and one more fan. I have never really been a big Philies fan, being that I come from Boston. As I watched the post game show, however, all that began to change.

As the Phillies celebrated by dousing themselves and others in a river of champagne, and later beer, their friendship as well as their dedication really shown through. That is what is so different about this team. They are not just a group of grown men paid to hang out and play a game together. They are friends.

How far do students think the Phillies will go in the National League Championship Series. Pat Ryan, senior, said, "The Phillies will win it all. They're on fire, fire fire." His horrendous imitation of Beavis really got his point across.

Ryan went onto say, "The Braves and the Giants are gonna wear each other down." Ryan also _thinks Dykstra will play amazingly wel~ and walk away with the MVP.

Gary Stec, sophomore, felt the result would be the same but the route

to that result would be different. Stec said, "The Phillies will win, but it's going to come down to the wire." Stec went on to say, "That will be all right though, because they're going to win it in Philly."

Stec also showed a tremendous amount of confidence in Philly pitcher Curt Shilling. Stec felt Eisenrich would play well. "The guy swallowed the book on bow to play the game, " Stec said. "He is the best new player the Phillies have."

Billy Bono, senior. was tke most positive oftheIQ all. "They're ~onna sweep!" Bono screamed. "They will dominate the series."

Bono felt the Phillies bench would really help the team in the long run. Bono said, ·'The 'Dude' will play really well. He's gonna be the team leader." While he felt Dykstra would lead the team, he did not think he was going to be their best player. According to Bono, "I think we are going to see a lot from Duncan. He is going to be their outstanding offensive player."

The Phillies have traveled down a long road but they have not yet made it home. The Braves are going to be a difficult obstacle to pass. It remains to be seen if the Phillies really will go from worst to first, or should I say "Phirst !"

Beven teams participated in the ~lphia CollegeofBible Invitacross country race on Oct. 2. are Valley College clinched - place in the men's contest with three finishers. They were edby Philadelphia College of

Bible in second place and Valley Forge Military College in third. The other eight men's teams, including Cabrini, did not have the five runners required to score.

In the women's race there were also three full teams and eight partial teams. Delaware Valley College took first place, Philadelphia College of Bible took second and Rutgers State University took third. The men ran five miles; the women ran five kilometers, or 3.1 miles.

The 16th annual 5 Mile Radnor Run, benefitting the American Lung Association. was held Oct. 3. World• class athleteSydney Maree, whoonce ran for Villanova, won the five mile race, setting a new course record of 23 minutes and 19 seconds. He set the previous track record of 24:32 last year.

There were numerous award categories. Winners in the school team category were: first pla_ce,Sun Valley High School; second place, Villanova ROTC; third place, Radnor High School. There was a Fun Run for less serious runners and small children.

The contest for the National League West championship,between the Atlanta Braves and the San Francisco Giants,, was nail-biting!y close.

58 game record.

On Oct. 1 and 2 the Braves beat the Colorado Rockies, 7-4 and 10-1. On those same dates the Giants beat the Dodgers twice more, 8-7 and 5-3. Oct. 3rd. with both teams holding 103 wins and facing one final regular season game, the Giants finally blinked.

The Braves beat the Rockies again, 5-3, but the Giants were defeated by the Dodgers, 12-1. The Braves will now play the Philadelphia Phillies for the National League pennant.

The first two play-off games were Oct. 6 and 7 at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium. Games three and four will be held in Atlanta on Oct. 9 and 10. Jf additional games are required, they will be Oct. 11 in Atlanta and Oct. 13 and 14 in Philadelphia.

The PhiladelphiaEagles won their fourth consecutive game Oct. 3, beating the New York Jets 35-30. The Eagles may have lost more than they gained though, as quarterback Randall Cunningham broke his leg and will be unable to play for at least eight weeks.

Spectacorannouncedthatfinancing for Spectrum II has finally been arranged with PNC Bank. The 21,000-seat future home of the Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers is scheduled to open in the spring of 1996, assuming no further hitches delay the planned January ground breaking.

Financing forthe stadium has been very difficult to arrange and could still founder. Harold Katz, owner of the 76ers, must agree to new conditions imposed by PNC, and PNC must find other banks that are willing to carry part of the $134 million financing package.

Sydney, Australia beat out Beijing, China, among other cities, to host the summer Olympics in 2000. The competition to serve as host was fierce. Australia spent approximate!y $17 million on their bid, and there may be political repercussions over China's loss.

The games have been held in the southern hemisphere only once before, in Melbourne in 1956. To win the bid, Sydney promised to pay the estimated $23 million transportation cost of transporting athletes, equipment and officials, to and from the Games. They also volunteered to provide free lodging in Australian homes for two relatives for each athlete.

Lennox Lewis beat Frank Bruno in a seventh round TKO, Oct. 2 in Cardiff, Wales, to retain the WBC heavyweight championship. Lewis, like IBF and WBA heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe, is unbeaten. Frank Bruno, a popular sports figure in England, was making his third and probably final attempt on the title.

ricordia also scored its first the first half of the game. ==::ding to Kristen Rudnick,jun-

ior, "They made the goal by breaking the wind, which means going one-on-one with the goalie."

In the second half, the Lady Cavs and Misericordia both came close to making a number of goals, but either the goalies kicked the ball out or the ball rolled inlo a comer. Rudnick scored the Cavs' second goal with a corner shot. Misericordia then went on to make the last two goals of the game. According to Rudnick, the last goal was pure luck.

From the beginning, the Lady Cavs had a good defense, whereas Misericordia had a good offense.

Quinn said, "We relied on our defenders too much, thinking they'd come up with the ball. As a result, though, there was a lot more recovery on defense."

There also were a lot of one-onone battles, which accounts for the

numerous near-missed goals on both sides. However, the Cavs put up a good fight and became more offensive in the second round of the game.

Amy Loesche, sophomore, said, ··we should've won because we dominated the other team."

Sherry Roam, junior, added, "We got a little unlucky, but we gave it our all."

According to Jen Schaub, sophomore, the Lady Cavs played well, but it was hot and sticky out there.

The season is going well for the Lady Cavs and although they lost last Saturday, it was a strong game.

Quinn said, "Although we played hard, the game lasts for about 70 minutes, and we were only intense for about 55. There were different phases in the game where we let down, and Misericordia took advantage of us when they were

down. If we were intense 100 percent of the time, the close losses would be wins."

The Cavs' next scheduled game was last Tuesda~ against Wilson. Denise Cassidy,junior, said, "We played well, and it's a shame we lost in the end because we played tough. I think we'll win against Wilson. This game is JUStone step away from scoring on Tuesday."

In the past few weeks, I have heard a lot of complaints from people who object to the number of articles in this publication regarding teams from Philadelphia.

To these people, I have one thing to say:ifyoudon'tlik:eit, leave.

This is Philadelphia, after all. NotNew Jersey. NotNew York. And especially not Dallas.

If you want to read about teams from New Jersey, go to Rutgers.

And if you like the Mets. the Jets, the Yankees, the Knicks, the Giants. the Rang• ers and the lsle5r I bear that Syracuse is nice in the winter.

And if you happen to be a fan of the Cowboys, there are some inbreds down at TexasEl Paso who would be glad to have you.

But this is Philadelphia, and the articles in this paperwill deal wi.th the Phillies, the Eagles and everything else from soft pretzels to cheesesteaks.

If you have a problem with this, DEAL with it.

So, this week, we will talk about the Eagles.

On Sunday. Randall Cunningham suffered his second major injury in the past three years, a fractured fibula which will keep him out for the next eight to 10 week$.

Two years ago, head coach RichKotiteguidedtheRandall• less Eagles to 11 victories. However, that team was made up of players from the Buddy Ryan era. This one is not.

T have never been a Rich Kotite fan. In fact, I am a Kotite-basher. But I will not bash now. I will wait.

Rich Kotite has gotten rid ofallofBuddy Ryan's players in the past two years. He has replac.edthem with his type of guys. So far, they are 4-0. I say, that has to do with Randall. Now, we will see what type of coach Rich Kotite is.

As for those of you who need an out-of-town update, here it is for you: The NEW YORK Mets finished behind the expansion Aorida Marlins. The DALLAS Mavericks were the worst team in the NBA. Andi am still waiting for NEW JERSEY to field a professional sports team (the Nets and Devils don't count).

Cabrini athletes circle the date on their calendars. The home game on family weekend is one of the most important match-ups of the year. For four of the fall athletic teams, those games took place last weekend.

Better weather could not have been possible. The sun was shining down on the playing fields of Cabrini, and the athletes were prepared to take on their opponents.

At high noon, the volleyball tri-match between Cabrini, Beaver and Alve~nia began. The Lady Cavs played strong throughout the day and walked away with two important PAC victories.

At one o'clock, the women's tennis team took on Cedar Crest. The Lady Cavs also picked up an important victory in this match.

Beginning at two, the field hockey team began the fight against Misericordia. First-year student Jen Wiederwax and Junior Kristyn Rudnick

scored for Cabrini, but the women fell short in their effort and found themselves on the wrong end of a 3-2 score

The loss was especially tough because it was a PAC match up. However. the team played well and held their own

The most exciting game of the da~ took place down on the soccer field at J p. m. The Cavaliers defeated Beaver 5-1 Senior Marty Meehan scored twice for Cabrini.

The game was highlighted by a nearbrawl late in the second half. Two seniors, John Quirus and Jason Giles, w~rt' thrown out of the game, along with Giles father. Despite playing two men short for the remainder of the game, the Ca\ s walked a,vay with the win.

One of the best results from this pa~I weekend was the number of parents anJ students out supporting their teams. Th~ athletes took advantage of this turnout by playing some of their best ball of the season. Hopefully, the fans will returr to the fields of play to continue to sup· port our athletes.

As the teams approach the stretch rur of their seasons, the support is needed
