Cabriniparticipatesin NationalCollegiate AlcoholAwarenessWeek by Caroline Croley staff writer

On Tuesday evening, a group of students was hanging out in a donn room drinking. The students all consumed a decent amount of alcohol. While playing the game Truth or Dare. the party got out of hand. Someone passed out from drinking excessively. Not only did he pass out, he was unconscious. His friends got scared and did the logical thing. They called the resident assistant (RA), who arrived immediately. Shortly afterwards the medical assistant (MA) was at the scene. The MA checked vital signs and did first aid. This did not help. Rich Kralle, director of security, along with other members of Cabrini's Department of Public Safety, arrived, and the scenario above occurred once again. Still no luck. Radnor police, Radnor fire company and paramedics were needed. The team performed necessary aid, hooked up life support and gave oxygen to stabilize the victim. Lastly, the team was out of the building with the stretcher and rushed off to the hospital with a severe case ofalcohol poisoning. This was only a drill. . This week·was Alcohol Awareness Week. Tuesday evening, under the direction of Senior Jennifer Yates, RA in Xavier, along with actors Katina Corrao and Kim Scarborough, sophomores, Juniors Doug Eppler and Gary White, Seniors Beth Mulvihill and John "Chico" Quirus, Kralle and Radnor Police and Fire Companies and paramedics, students witnessed a simulated event that is very real and could happen at any time. Alcohol Awareness Week is held each yeano inform students of the effects that alcohol can have on college students. Susan Fitzgerald, campus nurse, said, "This week is to focus on the responsibility of decision making and not on saying no to alcohol." The week-long program has al-

TAXI is a student-run organization sponsored by the student government association (SGA). It is a program that provides a safe. ride for those students who need it. TheweekkickedoffSundayevening with a Mass said by the Reverend Ambrose Cashman. campus chaplain. This servicewas a time to remember all whose lives have been affected by the influence of alcohol. On Monday night, Mulvihill organizeda Monday Night Footballgathering. Mulvihill said that, as a small school, Cabrini is more aware of alcohol and how it can be a problem. By holding Monday Night Football, the schoolgavepeoplesomethingelsetodo other than drink. On Tuesday and Wednesday, information tables with various material on alcohol awareness were displayed outside the cafeteria and in the gathering area. Since this topic can be a touchy subject for many people, these tables enabled the campus community to look at the material and learn something on their own. Also on Tuesday and Thursday, students sampled non-alcoholic . brews, donated by Strafford Beverage, in the cafeteria from 11:00 to 1:00. Tuesday night's program was titled "Parties, Alcohol, & Rape: What's the Connection?" Under the direction of Senior RA Molly Chesna and Dawn Weston, senior medical assistant, the program emphasized that a lot of date rapes occur while under the influence of alcohol. Chesnasaid, "Thisweekmayonly help one person look at themselves and their habits, but it is one person's life that it will help." She also said, "This week is hard to ignore. There is so much infonnation given out everywhere on campus. It's hard to get away from it." According to Eileen McAlinney, health services, planning was difficult becausealcoholisahardtotopictotalk about. McAlinney stressed this is National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, and planning could not have begunwithoutthemanualthattheCouncil of National Alcohol Aware Week mails to the colleges.

He said he thought Cabrini had moved beyond these incidents as a community. Bonfiglio also said that Kralle was in the middle of investigations regarding the fight and fire alarm incidents. Besides Kralle 's investig~tion, resident life is also investigating several incidents, including the stolen house signs, uprooted trash receptacles and stolen TV in Casey House. Scott Dorsey, assistant director of resident life, is heading the investigations. He has some leads but could not release the information, as he was still following up on them.

Outbursts of vandali_sm, Prejudicial views abolished violence shock campus through Philly AIDS walk An outbreak of vandalism and violence has been plaguing our campus. Vandalism and violence do not just damage one particular wall, lamp post or individual. They hurt everyone. We all pay in the end. From Aug. 29 to Oct. 13, 35 incidents of vandalism were reported by physical plant. On Oct. 14, the fire alarm in Xavier was set off three times, twice by smoke detectors and once by a fire pull station. On Oct. 8, according to the Main Line Times, 25 Cabrini students reportedly beat up two visitors to the campus. Students who have information about these crimes should step forward. There are two categories of students with responsibilities to the college: those who have committed the crimes and those who have witnessed them. Withholding information is almost as damaging as the actual crime. The 35 acts of vandalism have totaled at least $3,420 in damages. That is a hefty bill for only seven weeks of school. Damages done in a particular residence hall are paid through the room deposits of those who live there. Any vandalism committed in public areas is compensated through the general fund. The cycle of vandalism and violence does not end after the acts have taken place. Blatant vandalism was evident during last weekend's Open House. What message are we sending to our prospective students? As for the current students, why deface the very institution you are paying _money to attend? Before complaining about the·price of college, consider that' vandalism increases the unnecessary costs we pay out of our own pockets. Acts of vandalism and violence are thoughtless. If you are bold enough to commit a crime, you better have the courage to face the consequences. And if you witness a crime and keep quiet, you are just as guilty. 'Fess up, and stand out from the cowards.

JUQsand·oowns On Sunday, Oct. 17, approximatley 20 Cabrini students participated in the seventh annual Philadelphia AIDS walk. Our students raised over $300 for AIDS research and helped break stereotypes of AIDS victims.

Many Xavier students suffered from a loss of sleep on Thursday, Oct. 14, due to the annoyance of piercing fire alarms. Three occurrences were reported throughout the evening. Half-dressed students scurried outside while the problem was corrected. The disturbance still seems to be a mystery to the residents.

·[Letters Help prevent the possible extinction of Mr. MAC To the Editor: This letter serves the sole purpose of informing students that the MAC machine, located in the Widener Center lobby, is being removed in early November. The MAC machine is here for students, as well as faculty and employees, to allow access to cash quickly. Bryn Mawr Trust is removing the MAC because they are making no profit. In order to keep the MAC machine, the Student Government Association has been informed that we must come up with approximately $2,000. The rest of the cost will be handled by Cabrini. Should we do it? Should Student Government have a fundraiser in order to raise this money? Is this machine important to anyone? We would like to hear from you. I know I want this device to remain. Mr. MAC is my dear friend,.and I wouJdn 't want to see him be taken away. If MAC is kidnapped, so is the cash flow, and we can't have that. Please. if this boils your blood, leave a note voicing your opinion in the SGA office. There is also another option. You can also write a brief letter to the editor as I have done. PLEASE HELP SAVE MAC!!!

ATTENTION CABRINI STUDENTS! Recently there was an incident in one of the dorms on this campus involving the unwanted entry of a group of Cabrini men into women's rooms during the night. These "men" appeared to be intoxicated and proceeded to invade the rooms. They harassed each person in every room while video taping the whole situation. One of these men is presently serving on our Student Government. Why are we electing people who violate our rights to represent us on SGA? This cannot and must not go on! There is no reason.why we should have to live in fear in our own dorm rooms. What kind of campus community are we a part of? Have our standards of safety sunk so low as to elect students who will intentionally infringe on our rights? It's time this stops. We should be able to take pride in the students we elect for Student Government. Signed, Concerned Students of Cabrini

House five television abducted by ·vandals; residents demand justice To the Editor: The residents of house five have lost a close and dear friend. Our -Jobhy television was stolen recently, and the thief of hearts has not been apprehended. Our lobby TV was often utilized, even though it didn't supply us the promised cable stations. • We have been asked by a sign to find out who did it. Hey, all they have to do is put it back! Come on. We doubt anybody in our house would succumb to some fool's pressures in a plot to steal our TV. We are pretty sure we would go to another house ifwe wanted a TV that we wouldn't have to pay for. We pay for enough holes in the wall and other consequences of outsiders' actions than wishing to tack on who knows how much for a TV. We can see ourselves walking in somebody's room in our house saying, "Hey that TV looks a lot like the one that we had in the lobby." It seems to be the fault of the resident life. They are the ones who put TVs out in the lobby in the first place. All the other houses on this campus had the logic of a working alarm hooked up to their TVs. We would not have left a TV in the lobby with no alarm unattended. Therefore, resident life should come up with their crazy dollar amount and pay for their own mistakes. The residents of house five have been defrauded and betrayed enough by the administering officials in the resident life department. Thank you, House five residents: Francis Kelly Kevin Bessemer Joe Koroly Larry Foster Jim Iacavino Nathan Carter Gregory J. Grant Daniel H. Barracliff Christopher Kernozek

SGA funds Cabrini'sclubs by Caroline Croley staff writer

Student officers from many clubs and organizations on campus met with Senior Kevin Ohlandt, treasurer of SGA, on Oct. 12 and Oct. 14. Ohlandt met with these representatives to discuss possible budget planning and how the money that is allocated by SGA will be divided among the organizations throughout the semester, as well as the remainder of the year. According to Ohlandt, clubs and organizations are required to attend the budget hearing meetings with a formal constitution, a list of officers and advisers and a proposal that includes activities, speakers and fundraisers for the year. If officers are unable to attend the scheduled meetings, they must write a note and send it to Ohlandt with an explanation of why they were ·absent, and they must schedule another meeting with the committee. This note must be written and turned in within 24 hours of the scheduled m·eeting. At present, the amount of money that each club and organization will receive is undecided. However, Ohlandt said each club received $100 per semester last year. This year, the budget committee wants to increase the amount to $200 per semester.. Some clubs may receive more money than.others. By presenting a calendar of events for the year, SGA members will base theirdecision on how much money ·they will give. Senior Beth Mulvihill, social activities chairperson for SGA, said "Clubs and budget plans seem to be more structured this year than in past years." She added, "SGA will base budgets on the clubs involvement with TAXI and with SGA, in general." Marianne DeFruscio, director of stu-. dent activities, said clubs are encouraged to have accounts with the college. This means that when SGA allots money,

it then goes into a college account. DeFruscio said, "The college account procedure has always been in the constitution. However, in the past, only some clubs had agencies with the college." Ohlandt added, "This year the procedure is being enforced for all clubs and organizations on campus." In order to use this money, club officers must fill out necessary forms at the business office. This enables them to write checks and pay bills. It keeps both the college and the club on track. By doing this, clubs will be more efficient with bookkeeping, and it helps when there is an audit. Ohlandt said, "When the money is not used·, it carries over to the club's account for the next semester." He added, "As long as clubs remain active with SGA and follow the guidelines given to ,them at the budget hearing meeting, clubs will not lose their money." The various clubs and their officers include the ethnic student alliance (ESA)Rich Grace; photographyKendra Martin; CEC- Lisa Gambacorta; PSEA- Mollie Chesna;Accounting - Lisa Sebesky; Commuter - Lisa Hedtke; Fine Arts/Music- Karen Szczurek; Skiing- Ed Moore; InternationalJavier Caelles; Psychology- Jennifer Yates; Dance ensemble - Jennifer Yates; history- Daniel Trotter; Men's volleyball- John Feketics.

The Hedgerow Theatre provides many opportunities for those interested in various aspects of the arts.

HedgerowTheatre survivestrial by fire by Regina Miller

ing, resting on rustic wooded ground, staffwmer provokes flattering images of traditional

Hedgerow Theater blends tradition and talent. The recipe yields an enticing product. A fire at the theater complicated the mix, but the best combination prevailed. "It was important for us not to fold," Susan Wefel, Hedgerow Theater Board Member.Company Manager and 15-year company member, said. "The virtue was to keep going. We always carried on. We were devastated, but if we ·stopped, we knew it would be harder to get back on track. "We did lose players," she said, "but a lot of people have come back to us." Hedgerow Theater was destroyed by fire in November, 1985. The theater was left hollow, but the skeletal remains of the four stone walls remained standing. It took over six years to rebuild. In the mean time, the group toured. "We got a grant from Sun Oil for a van, and we traveled to seniors' clubs, preschools, anywhere," Wefel said. The reconstruction money came from intense volunteer fundraising by Moira Rankin, a long-time actress and community member. In addition to touring, the group held productions in a limited space at the Hedgerow House, located near the theater. The 17 full-time actors have the option to reside at the house. There are approximately 100 members that participate with the extended theater. · "If you' re going to be an extended member, you don't just act with us," Wefel said. "You have to be willing to do more than just the part.'' According to Wefel, it is more valuable to the group if members help with volunteer mailings, marketing, meetings and dinners. "We are terribly, terribly busy," Wefel said. "We always challenge ourselves and push, so that way, we get the best work from people." Artistic Director Penelope Reed, along with other seasoned actors and directors, search every year for new talent. Hedgerow attends auditions held at the Annenberg each year. The theater invites the actors back for interviews and auditions. Hedgerow welcomes a diverse group of actors and encourages artistic growth from the start. The stage is set low, providing the audience with a visual advantage. New cushioned benches furnish the theater. The authentic exterior build-

castles. The Hedgerow resembles a setting founded in a childhood folklore. On the playbill of "Murder in Green Meadows," a play in production, Reed writes, "Hedgerow is a small theatre by choice. We love the intimacy of getting to know our audiences, the stability of being an ensemble and the opportunity to reveal our sincere wishes to touch your lives in a simple way." Wefel described herself as a "gypsy" during the difficult times. She told of the days when she and other membe~s raised money. According to Wefel, she would stand in front of food markets, and at her side she displayed pictures of the fire that had the caption, "Please help rebuild our theater." Hedgerow offers a broad range of opportunities for anyone interested in the visual arts. The theater brochure says classes can benefit the aspiring actor, theater enthusiast or those who desire to improve communication skills. Monthly play readings are popular, along with Wednesday workshops that offer classes in a three-week unit. Topics i~clude stage movement, -voice, speech and playwriting. The playwriting session currently is in progress with Bruce Graham. a nationally acclaimed playwright, author of "Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar and Grill," " Moon Over the Brewery" and "Belmont Avenue Social Club." Hedgerow Horizons, an extended theater company, offers an opening to playwrights and directors. Horizon sells tickets at half-price and offers shows on the off nights of the mainstage theater. The mainstage theater produces seven to eight shows per year and offers group and student discounts. Horizons will be showing "One of 0-ur Own," a fulllength play on November 17, 21 and 24. The play was written by Gwen Armstrong and directed by Gay Carducci. The mainstage presents "Murder in Green Meadows," by Douglas Post, directed by Janet "Kelsey and presented until October 31. A holiday special titled "Medieval English Mystery Plays," will be available on Dec. 12, 18, 19 and 22. Upcoming events can be found in local papers, brochures in the theater's lobby or by calling the box office. Box office hours are Monday- Saturday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and prior to show times.

The Peace Pole, which was dedicated to former Cabrini President Sr. Eileen Currie in 1992, was ripped out of its place in the Peace Garden on Oct. 9. The Pole was recovered, but the vandals were not caught. According to Director of Physical Plant Michael Caranfa, the pole will not be displayed again until after Halloween.

Mischiefand violencedetailed by

Steve May co-news editor

Recently Cabrini has been hit by a rash of violence, vandalism and mischief. These incidents have caused several rumors that are probably unfounded. In an effort to clear up some of those rumors, here is the full report on "the big stories."

The Fight Perhaps the largest and most talked about incident was the fight that took place on Oct. 8 outside Dixon House. According to Director of Public Safety Richard Kralle, the incident began when three males from off-campus came to visit a female student in Xavier Hall. They were asked to leave around 2:45 a.m. after they became loud. They left and found that their car had been vandalized. Kralle said nothing more was heard from them until about 4 a.m. when Public Safety Officer Marsha Hayes saw a large number of males running toward Dixon House. Officers Louis Welsch and John Allen were called in for back-up. Upon investigating, they found two of the visitors injured and one of the visiting

'T d prefer for someone to let me know who did it and for the TV to show back up in the house." Kralle said he is not involved with the TV incident but agre·es that students should step forward. He said that his investigation is bogged down because no one will give him the information on the recent events to help with the investigations. Kralle said he cannot .:-cton any leads until he gets the names on people involved. Kralle said he had strong feelings that students should take action. "After all," Kralle said, "it's their community."

males lying on the ground with a cut over his eye and a broken nose. The crowd that had been gathered broke up when the security officers arrived. Radnor police had been called in for assistance when Hayes called for backup. Before their arrival, Welsch had to detain the three visiting males. Upon arrival, the police issued citations for criminal trespassing to the visitors. They were told to leave campus and that, if they returned, they would be arrested for the same charges. Arthur Nelson, 20, and Lawrence Farmer, 20, of Cape May Court House, NJ. had to be taken to Bryn Mawr Hospital for the injuries they received in the fight. The third visitor, AndrewLipesky, 19,ofWildwoodCrest,N.J., also was cited in the incident. Vice President of Student Development Robert Bonfiglio said he and Kralle are currently investigating the incident to discover which Cabrini students were involved. Kralle said the student(s) would be brought up on internal charges by the school. •

TheAlarms· In the other big incident of the past two weeks, Radnor police were on campus Thursday, Oct. 15 in response to a seri~s of alarms triggered in Xavier Hall. Between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Friday, the alarms sounded in Xavier three times. According to Director of Resident Life Cathy Caulfield, the first two alarms were triggered by smoke detectors and the third was from a pull station. There had been rumors that resident life had pulled the alarm. Caulfield said those rumors were not true. Kralle also said the alarms were not pulled by public safety or resident life. He said that pulling a false alarm is a criminal offense. According to Kralle, the first alarm was sounded and the building evacuated. The second alarm went off because somebody shot off an extinguisher into the hall detector. It was then that public safety and resident life decided to go room-to-room to evacuate people. Kralle said he found a lot of people hiding under beds, in closets and in stairwells. "You have to remember to leave the building during a fire alarm," Kralle said.

, , ~sq, ,during t~e-second alfm, a fictitious.

call was made to the Radnor police that there was an actual fire in Xavier. According to the incident report, the name the student gave was not registered at Cabrini. Two cars and a fire investigator answered the call. The building was evacuated again, and the guests were asked to leave. Kralle said the third alarm canie when he and the resident life staff were speaking with the police outside of the dormitory. Again the building was evacuated, all rooms were searched, and visitation for the night was cancelled. Caulfield said they had been paving trouble getting people out of the building in previous nights as well. There had been a real fire earlier in the week in Xavier, and nobody responded to the alarm. She felt the need to have the rooms searched to ensure the safe evacuation of the residents. Kralle agreed that safety was an issue when doing the room checks. He said every room was checked forpeople. The student handbook states on pages 88-89 that this type of room searches is legal if accompanied by a school official. Kralle said he and his officers have that authorization. The false call alarms are still under investigation, according to Kralle.

Famed author addressescampuscommunity by Sheila Brady staff writer

Over one hundred people filed into the Widener Center Lecture Hall to hear "Fried Chicken to ..fiction," a talk given by noted author Jerty Spinelli. Spinelli is the author of various children's novels, including "Maniac Magee." which won a Newbury medal. The Newbury award is given once a year for excellence in· writing t?ooks for children generally between the ages of sevenand 12.

He then graduated from Gettysburg College and worked at nearby Chilton Publishing for 23 years. "I did it the hard way," Spinelli said.

Thefactthatpatience and hard work lead to success was the basis-of his talk, not speech but talk, he said.

failures which led slowly to success. He said nobody wanted his first four books and that all over America, he told this to audiences mostly made up of children. In a typical speech, the next thing he would say to the children would be, "What do you do when nobody wants your books?" Then he would wait and wait for the answer from one of his young audience members. "Write another one," was the answer that only one child would reply, the right answer. "Why don't more kids have the right answer?" Spinelli asked. "Because we spend too .much time talking to our kids about success." He went on then to tell light-hearted stories ofrejection and failure from the first day of first grade to the publishing of his first book. The crowd on Friday, Oct. 8 was receptive to Spinelli." They laughed with him and were noticeably touched by the fan letters he read aloud. After his talk, the crowd proceeded to the

Gathering Area. There were books of Spinelli's on sale, along with other children's authors including bis wife, Eileen Spinelh, of whom he spoke fondly. Cassandra Maxwell, fine arts lecturer, said she read "Maniac Magee" to her daughter each nig)it before bedtime. She said she liked it so much that she could not wait to go to bed each night. William Kuhns, director of student teaching, said "All my students have to read Maniac Magee. Some1eachers are using it as a novel study in their classrooms." Senior Jennifer Sauer said, "I enjoyed his topic, and it really related to how it really is, that there is too much talk about success and it's okay to fail. Don't give up and keep trying." It was that attitude that got Jerry Spinelli where he is today. He announced proudly to his audience that a deal had been made. His award winning "Maniac Magee"will be released as a Disney movie around Christmas of 1995.

Two Phillies fans parade around Veterans Stadium prior to Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. Their prognostication was correct.

Trivia Answer In game1 of the 1983 Championship Series,the Phillies beatthe Dodgers, 1-0. Mi~eSchmidt hitthe homerun forthe PhUlies. SteveCarltonwon _ the game,and JerryReusswas the losingpitcher.

OnWedne.sday,(k.tober 13, 1993.there was really no use in tt}ing to sleep on Cabrini's campus, due to the shoµts of exited Phillies fans heard everywhere...evenWooodcrest.Fanswere runningwildly throughout the dorms,giving highfivesto otherPhilliesfans. "We're going to the World Series," some shouted in very aggressive tones. Some of these students went as far as driving out to Philadelphia. The excitement was a result of the Phillies' victory over the the Atlanta Braves. Thefinalscorewas6-4. This was the game that brought tbe the Phillies to the World Series, where they are battling against the Toronto Blue Jays for the World Championship. Wh~t can be done to support your team, some students may ask themselves. Bryan Johnson, first-year student, supported his team by buying Phillies para• phemalia and going to Broad Street to celebratewith other Phillies fans after the Phillies beat the Braves in game six of the playoffs. · Johnson also went to welcome the Phillies back to Philadelphia, along with First-year Student Tim Henry. Henry said they went on an instinct to let the Phillies know that they are behind them all the way. SeniorsKatherineRoss,JenniferFerris, Lisa Gambacorta, Kimberly Haban and other students teamed up with Marianne DeFruscio,student activitiesdirector,who raised Cabrini support of the Phillies by supplying game tickets and transportation to the game for paying students. Nina D'Onofrio, junior, supports the Phillies by simply watching the games and rooting for her team. What betterway to support your team? All this support must be working, now that the Phillies have finally made it to the World Series. "It was great, it was wonderful, I saw God,'' Lamar Stamps, sophomore,said when asked bowbe felt about his team, the Phillies, making it. Henry's feelings were mutual and definitely not. fit t.o be hidden, which he proved PYrunning _outinto the hallway

and screaming for his team. Haban said, "lwas thrilled a Philadelphia team had made it to the WorldSeries, because I feel it brings Philadelphia together." ".fbefirst game of the Series was not 11 very happy game for the Phillies and their fans. One downfall to the Phillies' performance was when Curt Schilling gave up seven runs when pitching. Johnson and Haban both forgave Schillingby saying every player has a bad game. Henry felt "it was too early for him to pitch, he wasn't ready." · St_ampslightened up Schilling's performance by saying with a little sarcasm., ..I guess I was pissed, but I still respect the man." Another pitching experience would be the "wild thing," Mitch Williams. Stamps thinks the game is _justabout to get interesting when Williams is put on the mound. Ferris said. "I feel exactly how Curt Schilling feels when he puts the towel over his head. I just can't bare to watch." Most students feel that Lenny Dykstra has shown the best performance in the Series so far. They all say about the same thing, mentioning his home run, his impressive outfield catches and basically that he is playing well on a regular basis. Even non-Phillies funpave King, senior, agrees that Dykstra is quite an athlete, mainly bec-ause"he is a former New York Met:' King also went on to add, "Mets in '94!" Most students have been heard pre• dieting tha.t the Phillies were going to come out on top in the World Series. D'Onofrio said, "I hope they (Phillies) win the World Series, but you never know. If they play like they did on Sunday, they will go all the way." Ross said very confidently, "They're going to take it all the way, this is their year, it is as simple as that." Ferris said, "They willwin in the very end of the World Series, it is going to be a fight 'til the end.'' King had a totally different point to ma\e, saying "I think it is going to be a one-sided series," mean- , ing Toronto is a far better teain:'I guarantee it will end up four games to one, Toronto.." ~

Last week in.the world of sports way to the Wales Conference fi-

by Diane Wrobleski

staffwriter nals. What a "hot" week it was. Phillies Phever has not reached temperatures this high in 10 years. The 90th World series was where, according to rumors, the "misfit" Phillies found their fit. They earned a spot opposite the Toronto Blue Jays on Oct. 13, with a 6-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. The first game of the W odd Series, played on Oct. 16, resulted in an 8-5 Blue Jays victory. The Philllies held the lead after batting in the first, third and fifth innings. Howev~r, Phillies fans clung to the edge of their seats as the Blue Jays took flight in the sixth inning. The sixth, a grinder of an inning, ended with John Kruk striking out with the bases loaded. The Most Valuable Player in the National League Championship Series, Curt Schilling, was not so valuable when Toronto gained seven runs off him. He exited in the seventh and was replaced by David West. West then faced two hitters, both of whom got hits. In other sports, the Flyers were off to a strong 5-1 start Oct. 16, as they defeated the New YorkRangers, 4-3. The last time the Flyers had a 5-1 start, they pounded their

Josef Beranek, a 23 year-old acquired from Edmonton last J anuary, has scored seven goals for the Flyers so far this season. He only scored 15 all last season. Eric Lindros scored his fifth of the season and Mark Recchi also scored for the Flyers against the Rangers. The major highlight in college football occurred Saturday, Oct. 16, when Penn State was defeated, 2113, by the Michigan Wolverines, at Beaver Stadium. A record crowd of 96,719 attended the game. Penn State had control in the first half of the game, but was brought down by two big plays which involved·an offside penalty on a field goal, and a goalline stand by the Michigan defense. Many mistakes were made by Penn State, which eventually cost them the game. As a · result of this game, the Nittany Lions are 5-1 overall and 21 in the Big Ten. In pro football, the Philadelphia Eagles went at it on Oct. 17 against the New YorkGiants. Both teams entered the game with records of 41. The Giants prevailed with a 2110 victory.

spoh§eddbr In this, the last year of "traditional baseball," the Phillies have' given us a season to remember. The owners, running rampant over the game because of a lack of commissioner, have attempted to ruin the game through divisional realignment and an expanded playoff sys• tem, all in a quest to achieve the mighty dolJar. The tradition of the game was dying. Into this situation rode a band of warriors. throwbacks to the days when baseball was played in God's glorious sunlight on natural grass, a team of

characters who played baseball the way it was meant to be played ... with heart. The 1993 Phillies pumped lift tiaet mto the game, and along with it. an entire city. In the last year of real baseball. they gave this town a gift to cherish forever. They started out on fire, winning SO of their first 71 games .. They carried us through the summer. playing .500 baseball and clinging to a 10-game lead. They hung tough in the dog days of August, knocking team after team out of contention. They held on in Sept emb ~r, as the Expos gained ground seemingly every day. They pushed those Expos away in the "final weeks of the season, taking the NL East title. They beat "America's team," the Atlanta Braves, to win their first pennant in a decade. And now, they battle the Blue Jays for baseball's highest honor. Win or lose. they have captured our hearts. For in less than a week, when this season comes to an end. two things will be finished forever. Sadly, baseball as we · know it, will be done. And even worse, we will no longer have the pleasure of watching these Philllies play baseball. For that is exactly what it has been: a pleasure.

Lady Cavs dominateEastern,9-0 by Catherine Smotherman

The records of tlie top six Cabrini

staffwriter singles players are: Take a rest from hard ball phever and check out some hard court action this weekend when Cabrini and Eastern College co-host the 1993 Pennsylvania Athletic Confernce women's tennis championship. Play starts Friday at. noon and Saturday at 9 a.m. Cabrini. with the ·third best record of the eight conference teams, e_xpects to do well. There will be three rounds of play. The first two rounds of singles and one round of doubles will be held Friday at five locations. including Cabrini and Eastern. Saturday all games are at Cabrini and Eastern. with most of the higher level games at Cabrini. Reggie Day, tennis coach, expects the championship to be a three-way race between Cabrini, Rosemont College and Marywood College. Day said, "We're on a roll. We've won our last two matches, three of our last four matches. We have back-to-back 9-0 conference victories." Though Cabrini lost to Rosemont and Marywood earlier in the season, both losses were excruciatingly close. He said Rosemont is the team to beat. They have the defending conference champion at No. 1 singles. In collegiate tennis, players are ranked according to their skill. The top six players play singles matches against correspondingly ranked players on other teams. Usually these six players also make up the three doubles teams. The doubles teams are also ranked and play only other doubles teams at the same rank.

Rounding out the team are first-year students Lisa Watson· and Laura Paparone and sophomore Maura Wiswall. Cabrini's three doubles teams are: #1 Maryanne Walker and Donna Schaeffer 5-1 PAC #2 Suzanne Stephano and Stephanie Cassinelli 2-0 PAC #3 Julie Wolen and Michaelle Mcllvaine 5-1 PAC Day pointed out that this year's team is very young but still has good depth. Only three players returned from last year, but all team members played on their high school teams. Day said, "What we lack in experience we make up in hustle. This team has one of the best overall attitudes of any team I've coached." This is Day's sixth year at Cabrini, and he has five straight winning women's tennis seasons behind hiin. Day recruits for the team, traveling to tour-

The admissions office also helps in the recruiting effort. The men's and women's teams have separate seasons because it is traditional at many schools and allows the teams to share use of the facilities. Day said Cabrini's facilities are good, and most visiting teams are impressed with the setting. . The team holds a grueling camp each summer the week before school begin·s. The daily schedule is a gut-wrenching

alternation between sustenance and exercise. They start at 7 a.m. with a twomile run. Then the players eat breakfast, hit the courts for drills and conditioning work from 9 a.m. 'til 11:30. They eat lunch, get back out on the courts from 1 p.m. 'til 4:30. They eat supper and then play challenge matches. It is the challenge matches that determine the team rankings. During the school year the team practices about two and a half hours every weekday that they do not have a match.

OctoberAthlete of the Month:Mike Tims by Timothy Wonson

staff writer The shadows of late afternoon danced upon the soccer field. Laughter could be heard coming from this field all the way up to Grace Hall. Before the young men who make up Cabrini's soccer team could even be seen, they could be heard, yelling encouragement as well as jeers at one another. When the team was finally visible, there was something missing, Mike Tims. Tims, junior and co-captain of the soccer team, was not participating in the scrimmage with the rest of his team. Tims was sitting the practice out because of sore hips. He wanted to be well-rested for the upcoming game against Eastern. "Mike would have to be my pick for athlete of the month," Duncan Hubky, head soccer coach, said.
