Questionsraised on Tims' resignation;SGA responds

by Kelly McDonald co-news editor

Student Government President Michael Tims resigned Thursday, Oct. 21, for what ~e said were personal reasons.

For the second consecutive year, the Student Government Association (SGA) was faced with the loss of its president before the term was completed.

In a statement issued by Tims, the office of president demanded a lot more than he anticipated, especially time.

"I feel that what I expressed in my opinion article a few weeks back indicates that I really did not know all that would be demanded of me,., Tims said.

The resignation occurred at the same time as two women residents said Tims entered their room while they were in bed and attempted, without their permission, to videotape them.

Tims admitted to the videotape incident but said that it had nothing to do with student government.

"What I do outside of student government is no one's business." Tims said. ··Student government and my social life are two different things, and I don't think I should have to change in order to be the type of president they think I should be."

Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student development, said he thinks Tims resigned because he was questioning whether he would be effective in his position because of all the other academic and athletic responsibilities he has.

Bonfiglio said that he cannot talk about any disciplinary matters because they are confidential.

Maryanne Walker, corresponding secretary, said the president of SGA has extremely difficult tasks and responsibilities.

She said SGA needs someone to devote all their time to this position, and Tims as a student athlete could not gi".e that.

Inside ... t-lNEWS Bryn Mawr Trust is planning on removing the MAC machine from the campus. Students react as SGA makes plans to try to keep the automated teller machine.

Walker also said she thinks Tims was pushed into this position by other students who wanted to see someone on SGA that would work for them.

Tims, who did not have the required two years experience on SGA, was still permitted to run for the presidency and was elected by the students.

SGA Vice President Tricia Daley said that she thinks that Tims' hurt him.

"Michael would have been great on student government, but he jumped into water that was over his head just yet," Daley said. "I think be would have been great if he would have started out as a class officer and moved his way up."

Senior John Quiris, senior class president, was one the people who asked Tims to run for president.

Qu iris said he felt Tims would be a good person to leadSGA because he had a lot of good ideas, but, since he was new, he needed a little more training to know how to "dance around the system."

By this Quiris said he meant Tims was coming into a new environment with people who, for the most part, have been together for a while, as friends and SGA members.

Because he was an outsider to this group, Qui ris said it was probably hard for him to deal with in his position of president.

"I wish they (SGA executive board) would have given him more time, and I wish he (Tims) would have given them more time because I think Michael Tims could have made a real improvement here at Cabrini," Quiris said. _ The two sophomore Xavier residents, Kim Kavanaugh and Cara Contino said their room was among the rooms that Tims and friends entered, without permission, on the night of Tuesday, Oct. 5, with a movie camera.

Contino said Tims entered the room holding a beer can and telling them to smile they are on candid camera.

She said Tims was asked to leave and, before doing so, tried to pull the covers off her and Kavanaugh.

"He has violated the code of

conduct and no action has been taken by the school," Contino said. "If I would have done, that I would have gotten in trouble."

Kavanaugh said that if Tims continued as president, he would be telling everyone else in the school that it was acceptable to act the way he did and violate the code of conduct.

Contino said, "If he does something bad, what does that say to and about the school?"

Tims said he thinks he should be judged by his presidentfal duties and not how he conducts his social life.

As for the other problems of SGA, Tims said that everyone is trying to place all the blame on him.

According to Tims, even before he was involved with SGA they always had problems and were in disarray.

Now that the most important position of the executive board is vacant, SGA will hold open elections for a new president.

"The constitution will be strictly enforced," Daley said.

"The requirements were put in for a reason, and I think they

should be followed."

The constitution requires the candidate to have achieved at least junior status and to have two years prior experience on SGA to be eligible for the position.

According to Daley, SGA is dividing up the responsibilities among the seven executive board members.

This will be done until a new president is elected, which will take approximately a week and a half.

Daley said Tims' resignation may hinder SGA for a short amount of time because they are short one person, but they will be able to come out on their feet.

"We may be down, but we are not out," Daley said.

Beth Mulvihill, social activities chairperson, said that Tims' resignation will help SGA by making people realize that the job is not as easy as people suspect.

"If people who are not on SGA see other people resigning, then maybe they will realize it is a lot of hard work and not put so much pressure on SGA," Mulvihill said. "I think it opened a lot of people's eyes."

Party policy reviewed

by Ronette Holt staff writer

To have a legal party is simple. Any club or organization can have a party, but they must abide by the party policy.

The party policy was writ• ten by the stude,nt government association (SGA)three years ago.

The first step to have a party is that a party request form must be filled out. Then the partycommittee must give theorganization permission.

A request form must be handed in ten days before the party. There must be three hosts at every party. These hosts must attend party policy workshops given byHealth Educator Eileen McAlinney.

According to Director of Student Activities Marianne DeFruscio, anyone can get a morePARTYon pg.4

Volunteers' 'dead'ication help raise spirits at Haunted House

Keep creativity alive

To the Editor: This past weekend, Oct. 21-23, was SGA's annual Haunted House in Xavier Hall. It was a great success, despite competition from the 1993 World Series.

This letter is just to thank everyone who volunteered to participate in Haunted House this year especially the quads, floaters and tour guides. Haunted House would not exist without these people.

Thank-you once again. for all your hard work imagination and dedication. We hope you had a good time doing it.

Sincerely, Lisa Gambacorta, SGA social acts representative Tricia Daley, SGA vice president

SGA treasure.rcorrects figures for semester's club budgets To the Editor: Regarding last week's article on the budgets for clubs, a clarification must be made. The clubs did not see an increase in their semester budget from $100 to $200. Instead, SGA's budget for clubs was increase~ from $1000 to $2000.Each club receives a different budget as they all have different functions and activities for the semester.

Also, I was not the only one who decided on the clubs budgets. The budget committee consists of Beth Mulvihill, SGA social acts chairperson; Steve Czech, senior class vice ·president; Meredith Hinkle, junior class vice .president; and Katina Corrao, sophomore class vice presiderit.

Sincerely, Kevin Ohlandt SGA treasurer

SGA ignores speaker nominations; senior voice remains unheard To the Editor: So we reach the halfway point for the fall semester, the campus has been full of rights that we seniors are preparing for our graduation in May. Senior portraits were taken, rings were ordered and the Who's Who nomination forms have gone out.

Yet with all of this, one thing has been ignored-what about our graduation speaker? So far, no one has been questioned as to who they would like to be the speaker.

To our class president, we would like to know who has been nominated, who decided upon these people, and why so many people were not even allowed to voice theiropinions. If there had been a meeting, we would have been there. If a form had been sent, we would have taken the two minutes to fill it out. Our graduation ceremony means something to us. We have all worked too hard for this to just sit back and not care.

Sincerely, Belinda Desher, Mary J•ane Inman, Courtney O'Conner and other concerned seniors

Caroline Croley, Staff Writer

During the summer of '91, my love for journalism and the arts blossomed and changed my life forever.

In January of that year, my father spotted an ad in the "New York Times Magazine."

The ad read, "Young People's Institute is dedicated to providing an environment that will inspire, challenge, surprise, amaze, and even outrage creative youths." The camp seemed to be designed for students interested in the writing, visual and performing arts.

Students from the ages 9-17 would live together with counselors and master teachers to create a "community of learners." · At the time, I was looking for workshops that would prepare me for the role of editor in chief of my high school's newspaper.

I jumped at the chance. In the beginning, however, I felt very nervous and apprehensive about the whole idea of going to camp.

After talking to my newspaper adviser, Mr. Fed, and thinking about it, I had to make a d~cision. Deep down I knew I wanted to go, and I felt that it was a risk I had to take. After receiving the application in the mail, I immediately started getting recommendations and working on my essays. Finally, I mailed the application and waited for a reply. The three months I waited felt like an eternity.

At last I received a phone call from a man named Jeff Ostroff. Ostroff, the camp's director, informed i:ne that I had been accepted. I actually did it, and the waiting and anxiety were finally behind me. I was thrilled.

I remember running into school the next day with my face lit up like a Christmas tree. I couldn't wait to tell my friends and Mr. Fed that I got in. I felt that I was really on my way to a successful year as the editorofNativity' s newspaper. . At the end of June, my parents and I loaded the car, and I was off to Pomfret to a new and exciting chapter of my life. During the five-hour ride to Connecticut, a million questions ran through my mind. I was very excited, and I was also very afraid. I worried about being accepted, doing well and fitting in with my new surroundings.

The first day was a memorable one. I met other new students with whom I grouped right away, and I met students who were old• timers at YPI. Watching students who have been there before intimidated me a great deal. I hated being the "new one" in the group. Again, questions such as "will I fit in?" ran through my mind.

I came to realize that I had to make a choice. Was I going to let these people walk all over me with their impressive creative backgrounds, or was I going to show them I was capable? With the help of new friends and a certain counselor, I worked harder than ever at classes and at play. By the end of my final week, I was more outspoken and for the first time, I looked inside myself more than I thought I ever could.

That year, I met some friends who are now my' best friends, and I made my decision to majorin communications. But most importantly, before I went home on the last day, I was invited to return as an instructor-intraining(111)in thejoumaJismclass at YPI

for reasons other than journalism. On the first day, I met a blond-haired, blue-eyed counselor who seemed to be about 5'10".

Mikestood out from the crowd. Even though he was doing his job as a counselor, he came off somewhat animated. I noticed how deeply interested and concerned he was with not only the kids in his group, but the camp in general. All the counselors showed these qualities, but Mike's appeared to be a little more noticeable. I guess I feel this way because of the friendship we developed that year. That year, he took me under his wing, and because of his support, I learned to become more confident about my writing and myself.

At camp, at home and here at Cabrini, even though we live very far apart, Mike has been there as a friend, a coach, an adviser and a cheerleader. I can count on him to be there and give me that extra push when I need it.

By listening to his experiences as an English major at Duke University and a writer for a local newspaper, I have a better understanding of what ·lies ahead in my future as an English/communications major.

Thus far, I have spent two years as an IIT in the journalism class. By assisting the master teacher, who is a professional in his/ her field, I learned a great deal from the teacher as well as the students. As an IIT, I do a lot of the behind-the-scenes work. I work closely with the teacher and students, and I'm responsible for keeping the teacher-student relationship closely together. In addition, my position enables me to pass onto - others what I had learned from classes, professors and past experiences.

That night I realizedthat I've never felt more comfortable and creative in any other place than YPI. It's a place to seek individuality through actions and words. Sometimes this is difficult in many places, such asschool or at work. We have a tendency to live by the status quo.

An event where we came together as a ~hole is Purge' n 'Burn/Poetic Question. This is a way to physically release what is inside by standing around a bonfire chanting, "If you're not going to help me, get out of my life. If you are going to help, stay in my life."

This chant is recited repeatedly, while we purge feelings from our lives. Forone night, we try fo forget about our problems, and it really works!.

At the end of the bonfire, the sounds of a saxophone playing comes from a new place on campus each year. At the sound of the instrument playing, everyone solemnly moves to their sacred destination. Poetic Question is about to begin.

During PoeticQuestion,JackKreitzer, master teacherofpoetry,beginswithaquestion. I.astyear, we questioned the power of vines and thorns. We talked aboutgettingthrough the vines to a brighter tomorrow, with the help of each other. We also talked about the thorns (our problems) and how they can wrap around us so tightly and sometimes cause us to bleed. By helping one another, we can cut away the thorns and stop the bleeding.

This night I learned what peace, love and soul-cleansing was all about.

• The students, faculty and staff are a family away from our families at home. At the end of our stay, we promise to keep in touch, no matter what. In our hearts, we neyer say goodbye. It is our responsibility to keep the family together all year round. We must rememberthat whereverwe are, wherever we go, orwhateverwe'redoing,we '11always

be together.The types of friendshipsI made at YPI are friendshipsthat, hopefully,wi11 '91. last a lifetime. My only wish is thatI'm this The summerof '91 sticksout in my mind lucky duringtherestof my yearsat Cabrini.

Campaign '93

by Kelly McDonald co-news editor

Name: Russell Nigro D.O.B.: 3/23/46 Education: Temple University, BA, Rutgers University of Law, Juris Doctor Experience: Trial Division Judge, Private Law Practice Judicial Partici pant Platform: Set the example by maintaining the highest standards of judicial conduct.

Party: Democrat

Judge Russell Nigro is the candidate representing the democratic party in th~ Nov. 2 election of Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices. He is currently a Court of Common Pleas judge and was appointed this position in 1987 by Governor Robert Casey. In 1988, he was elected to a full 10-year term.

According to a press release from Nigro 's office, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is in trouble and in disarray because of accusations of misconduct and the possibility of impeachment procedures. Nigro said he thinks he is the person with enough guts and determination to lead the way to reform.

Currently, the position of Pennsylvania Supreme Court is determined through elections. Nigro said he does not feel that statewide positions should be determined this way but by merit and would then be chosen by a 12-member nomininating commission, which would be selected by the governor and legislature.

Nigro said this would put more emphasis on a candidates' qualifications and less on raising money to support a campaign.

Nigro, however, said he does feel that elections should be conducted for local judges

Local court candidates profiled because the voters are more informed about the candidates.

Because Pennsylvania has been examining its elected officials to make sure they are not spending unnecessary funds, Nigro, if elected, will make his vouchers available for public scrutiny. Nigro will fully account for the taxpayers' money spent and return any other money to the Commonwealth, he says.

Until this point, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has rejected any examination of gender bias, claiming that the study would be too expensive. Nigro said, if elected, he will urge the court to do a study ,and if the problem does exist, he will help citizens receive equal treatment.

The Supreme Court election can be made relevant to college students through issues regarding there rights at Cabrini.

According to Nigro, community service is a great opportunity to get practical experience. He said it gives students the opportunity to acquire more knowledge that cannot be gotten from a text book or a lecture.

"Unless the job is making a person dig ditches or something like that, I think it is not a violation of a students' rights."

Nigro said it is especially good because the students help the community in some fashion and also rc!:eivecredits.

The circumstances under which Cabrini is able to search a room is something Nigro said he agrees with. He said he agrees with this procedure because the college has the fundamental right to protect the rest of the school.

At the age of 18, a person is legalfy considered an adult and can own a bar or bartend. But the legal drinking age is 21.

Nigro said this exists because of the concern for young people and the statistics that were recorded about alcohol-related auto accidents when the drinking age was 18.

Name: Ron Castille D.O.B.: 3/16/44 Education: Auburn University, B.S. Experience: Assistant District Attorney, District Attorney, trial lawyer Platform: Castille for justice and law and order Party: Republican

Ron Castille is the candidate representing the Republican party in the Nov. 2 election of Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices.

He is currently a trial lawyer at Reed, Smith, Shaw &McClay and has been at this position for the last two years. He was previously Philadelphia's district attorney, a prosecutor, for five years.

Castille said he is in favor of the merit selection of judges because the election process does not always give Pennsylvania the best possible judges, and the election process may deter qualified lawyers from serving on the Supreme Court.

According to Castille, some of the things of interest to him are changes that need to be made in judicial discipline, the end of unaudited Supreme Court expense accounts and the creation of a special death penalty docket.

Castille said the police judicial behavior in Pennsylvania must change. He said he would, if elected, devote himself to changing and improving Pennsylvania's system of judicial discipline.

Registrar position filled staff writer The registrar's office is considered to be a central department on campus. The office controls all scheduling which is essential to the college as a whole.

On Wednesday, October221.eslieSkinner was appointed registrar. For the past year, S~nner has worked closely with Jennifer Hansbury, former registrar, as her assistant. Hansbury left in July.

Skinner's duties as assistant registrar and now as registrar are vital to the entire campus community.

Unfortunately, her appointment was delayed because Dr. Thomas Boeke, provost/academic dean, officially began his job in August.

Skinner said, "Dr. Boeke was needed before anything could be done. He's responsible to hire key positions along with the selection committee."

According to Boeke, Skinner generates a variety of reports to help the office and faculty make gl► id decisions with schedules, classes and serving the students well.

In addition, Skinner also meets with chairpersons from every department and academic advisers to arrange and plan each class schedule for the school year.

As a private institution, Cabrini does have the right to expel a person under their rules, but according to Castille, it is a violation of the First Amendment rights to expel a student for speaking politically incorrectly, such as a racial remark.

"Although you might not like what another person has to say, they always have the right to say it," Castille said.

According to Castille, Cabrini can do whatever they want when searching a room until it becomes unconstitutional.

However, if a resident signs a contract, as they do at Cabrini, they agree to the rules and regulations stated in the student handbook. Therefore the students give up their rights.

Castille said at one time the drinking age was 18, but this was also a time when 18year olds were going to Vietnam. He said the age was changed because of the effect alcohol was having on teen-agers. Castille said there were to many teen-agers dying.

"People do not have many rights when they are born, and they gradually obtain them," Castille said. "When a person turns 21 all bets are off, and they can do whatever they want."

Boeke added, "You only need two types of people, including students, to comprise a college campus. They are faculty and the registrar. The registrar is pi votalto the college."

Before taking on these responsibilities at the registrar's office, Laurie Turns, transfer coordinator at the admissions office, said Skinner began in the admissions office as the application processing specialist.

After three and a half years working in admissions, Skinner joined the registrar's office as assistant registrar.

According to Skinner, the faculty seemed to be very pleased with her recent appointment and are very supportive of her.

Dr. Carter Craigie, English/communications professor, said, ··1think Leslie has a can-do attitude, and she has proven herself to be a valuable asset to the college. I'm glad we had the wisdom to hire her."

Boeke said he has received unsolicited testimony from the faculty, staff and admini~tration that Skinner is doing her job successfully and registration, this year, proceeded without a hitch.

Boeke concluded by saying, "J want to see Leslie take advantage in the development of herself by spending time learning more about confronting major issues concerning higher education. By doing this, this learning will affect Cabrini."

The wealthy people believed ghosts had done it, and would give food to the farmer to keep the ghosts away. So now children go around asking for candy with the words "trick-or-treat" on their lips.

Halloween has many common visitors as well. One of these is the ghost. A ghost is a dead person's spirit that visits a living person. The Celts believed ghosts visited the earth on Halloween.

There is a cave in Ireland called the ''Hell-Gate of Ireland." People once believed this cave opened on Halloween.

Horrible ghosts would fly out of it, and people believed the ghosts killed animals and took babies.

Another common visitor on Halloween is a witch. Witches are women with magic powers. The male version of a witch is a· warlock. In Scotland, people once believed all witches met on Halloween. They believed the devil called them together to dance all night to music from the devil's bagpipe. The bagpipe was made form hen's heads and cat's tails.

The person must hold the apple under their chin.

Halloween is also a time for games of mystery. The Celts told fortunes by looking through what was left of animals burned as gifts to Samhain. They actually believed in these fortunes.

In England, Halloween is called '·Nutcracker Night." Sweethearts would throw nuts in the fire. If the nuts exploded it meant a bad marriage was in the future. If they burned quietly it meant a good marriage.

Xavier Hall becomeshouse of horrors

by Regina Miller staff writer The price some will pay for panic is high. The ghost of Xavier Hall and her friends scared the sense out of a multitude of humans. People flocked to participate in the great spook-out held at Cabrini even after hearing the bloodcurdling screams through the walls. The 101,1gwait enhanced the anticipation, maybe too much for some. ·'I'm not going in," said Danielle Sweeney, a 7-year-old from Upper Darby. "I'm scared." The children surrounded her and gave her approximately 100 valid reasons why she should subject herself to such an experience.

"Danny, it's fun," said Jill Smith, a third grader at St. Laurence elementary school, " You didn't go in last year.

Don't be scared. They are only college students."

Tears swelled in Danielle's eyes as she approached her destination.

A small child dressed in a leather jacket, clasping a cardboard sword and a pretend shot gun, was armed and ready.

He knew what to expect. It was the rest that seemed surprised. Children scrambled for cover as adults had no choice but to shove forward through the maze.

Spooks never sympathize with a crying child; they never sympathize with a crying adult, either.

The Student Government Association did not know the number of years that the Haunted House existed at Cabrini.

The importance was the task at hand, formulating and polishing the event. "I know it has been in existence at least since 1984," said Marianne DcFruscio, director of student activities Hall. She is SGA's adviser.

"SGA gets volunteers. SGA runs it and participates in it," said DeFruscio.

Tradition was formed and carried on.

Tricia Daley, vice-president of the executive board of SGA and senior, said, "It's usually a great turn out but this

year we are competing with the World Series."

SGA volunteered to donate a portion of the revenue on Thursday night to help a charity called Indugence, a group for the poor in Philadelphia.

"The rest of the money goes directly back into the program fund. We supply every quad with everything they need for the Haunted House. I just ran out to the mall to gather some things for last minute volunteers," said DeFruscio.

The event was once located in Grace Hall. Now, the quad in Xavier Hall are used and each quad chooses its own theme. Each quad then sets the stage by acting out its own skit. Each skit is introduced by the tour guide and acted out. The entire tour took approximately ten minutes.

The tour began with a monologue of the haunting in Xavier. The guide led the group through the traumatic scenes displayed.

One skit was a definite thriller-a school girl being murdered with an ax.

Another was a witch doctor simulating a gruesome surgery. Pure gore was everywhere.

Beth Mulvihill, social activities chairperson and senior, busily attended to all the matters at hand. She defined her job as the director who assisted in normal routine problems. She helped direct the event which took place in three hours for three nights. "Everything went very well,"' Mulvihill said. "It was a good crowd. Thursday night was a little slow but overall it went well."

Daley said, ·'This is ·volunteer. We had meetings, and if people were interested they came. We did try to get the underclassmen involved."

Dana Mills, a sophomore, acted in a skit. She was the mad surgeon. "It's a lot of fun just to see the kids' reactions.

The adult reactions vary. Some are more afraid than the kids." Mills worked all three nights. Her real spirit gleamed

through when she: came out for a break. and apologized to a little girl whom she frightened to tears. Eileen Tansey, nineyears -old, accepted the apology and later said, "I'm glad that I didn't tell my little brother to come. He would have been real scared.''

Mills' partner and patient, first year student Kristen Blanck said, "It's fun to try and scare the little kids." She shares the credit for formulating the ideas in their skit.

Caitlain Sweeney, 8 years old, said, "I'm glad I went. I got my frights out.

There was this witch following me around and playing with my hair."

Sweeney said, "There was this girl.

While I was kicking, she was trying to grab my ankles."

Sue DiMoia, 1993 alumna said, "I thought it was really well done. Everybody worked real hard."

The ritualistic spice wafers and lemonade were made available to all who had been brave.

Pat Peppe, an Upper Darby resident and mother of three, said, "It was pretty crazy, pretty crazy. The people behind us were screaming like mad. This one 8year- old girl fell to the floor.·· Chris Peppe, nine years old. said, "It was scary. I'm not coming back next year."

Pat Maloney, a mother from Bryn Mawr, escorted her two young sons.

•'] thought it was good, .. she said. "I think it was geared for the 5- to 1()-year old crowd."

Maloney was not happy with her hour long wait. "The wait was long," she said." The way that they did it made it hard for any other choice but to take small groups through."

Kevin Ohland!, treasurer of SGA and volunteer traffic guide, said at his post, "I think the Phillies game stopped a few people from coming but there were no accidents, crime, nothing."

Facultyexperience the writingof LangstonHughes

by Brian Siatkowski staff wnter

...

The room is quietly reading.

Dr. Marilyn Johnson, professor of English, an~ Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, intently read over a book of poems: Romano holds a plastic cup in hand as he glances up at the late avival of Dr. Carter Craigie, professor of communications. Craigie settles down with his snapple and sandwich. Dr. Margaret McGuinness, religion chairperson, sits in the far corner eating her lunch, Dr. Sharon Schwarze, philosophy chairperson, and Dr. Margaret Reher, professor emeritis , also nibble while they review the poetry of Langston Hughes.

These teachers are here for this months brown bag lunch meeting. ·six years ago, Dr. Sharon Schwarze, the philosophy chairperson, originated the brown bag lunch meetings for faculty and staff at Cabrini College.

Now, each month a brown bag meeting is organized where staff and faculty read a book or watch a video and share their ideas over lunch.

Schwarze said that it is fairly unusual for professors on a college campus to discuss works not related to their own field.

Last months reading was Malcolm X, and in the past the faculty have discussed over 25 books and some videos.

This brown bag lunch was a discussion based on "Selected Poems of Langston Hughes."

Only six professors were in attendance for this brown bag meeting, but Johnson said the reason for the small attendance was that in the past, brown bag lunches were supplied.

Though not the healthiest lunches, everybody had some sort of nourishment awaiting in front of them, ready to give over an hour of personal thoughts and interpretations they individually pulled from each poem.

The beginning of the meeting provided a little back ground on Hughes by Dr. Johnson. Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri, in 1902, and his influence spills over on many writers and poets of the 20th century. He was part of the Harlem Renaissance along with Zora Hurston.

Dr. Johnson began by reading several poems. The ones filled with excessive imagery seemed to arouse her interests the most. She read slow and loud, hitting each note like a seasoned trumpet player.

"I loved the way you read that," said Craigie.

After Johnson finished "Dream Boogie," the discussion stumbled along for a few moments and Craigie cleared his throat. As if he were some Southern Baptist preacher, he read, "The Ballad of Landlord."

Reher pointed out that this poem led to the dismissal of a Boston school teacher after he discussed it in class.

Dr. Romano read "Weary Blues." The last line was read deliberately slow.

"He slept like a rock, or a man that's dead." The words silenced the room.

The readings are taken seriously and a valiant attempt is made to understanding each.

Tales of horrorfor Halloween

Romano said of Weary Blues, "It really captures blues, not just Blues, but the expression of your soul."

The interpretations are full of effort.

Six white professors in· a struggle to understand the life of Langston Hughes.

The word "nigger" is absorbed by the walls in a silent censorship. The theme of prejudice underlies almost every poem. Everybody in the room held this thought with delicate professionalism.

And when the conversation seemed to get too deep, it tended to sway in the wind of more generalized, even unrelated subjects.

"What if a UFO comes and the martians say they will cure all of your diseases if you give us all your black people," Johnson said.

Someone asked, "And do what with them?"

"It doesn't matter," pronounced another.

"Racial polarization has stopped people from realizing we are brothers," Johnson said.

The discussion on racial relationships leads Craigie into a reading of, "Negro speaks of Rivers." He speaks more direct, the serious tone doesn't fit his easygoing personality. He finished each sentence like he needed just a moment for it to echo in his mind.

When he finished the poem, he said, "You know what makes me mad, I was teaching two people how to read in Bryn Mawr after Martin Luther King was shot. Why didn't I know of this poem then? I could have read them this." His red face reflected his regret in not hearing of the insights and pains of Hughes earlier in life.

"It's not your fault," Dr. Johnson said.

"It's the fault of your education."

The others shook their head in agreement.

Johnson said, "Outside of this culture we are all Americans. Europeans don't see white or black, just American. It's like a family kicking each other under the table."

McGuinness read "Terrific Peace."

The poem refers to the prejudice towards blacks in transportation. Hughes said in the poem the reason he never rode the merry-go-round was because, "There ain't no back to a merry-goround."

Romano shared a slice of his childhood when the poem "Joe Louis" entered the discussion.

"It took me back to pre-T.V. days when me and my father sat next to the radio. My father would always root for the Italian. One day Sugar Ray Robinson was fighting an Italian ,and I slipped and shouted, 'Come on Ray.' My father turned to me and could only say, "He is good, isn't he?"

The discussion grew into a comparison b'etween Joe Louis and Julius Erving.

But Romano ended it quick with, "Joe Louis died in poverty, Dr. J. is a corporate executive."

The meeting on Hughes was filled with stories and interpretations but left the silence to teach the lessons.

Nert month, the staff and faculty will read and discuss Gloria Naylor's "Mama Day."

ENTERTAINMENT

Madonnadoes Philly

by Richard Jasper staff writer

Hours before the doors of the Spectrum were propped open on Tuesday, Oct. 19, many of the estimated 11,000 screaming fans arrived that evening wearing tight leather pants, black silk brassieres, fishnet stockings and bleachblond hair, some carrying whips and inflated condoms, while others paged through a phenomenally successful 128page collection of raunchy, cheesy and trashy photographs.

No, these people were not waiting in line for the start of a kinky Victoria's Secrets fashion show, nor was there any scheduled cultist biker club convention in town that night. The only reason this motley group of people came to South Philly was to witness Madonna's 1993 Girlie Show Tour, which made a brief stop in town for one night only.

Nobody does it quite like the Material Girl. It's not so much her vocals as it is the spectacle that Madonna deeply cares about, and her sophisticated, Broadway-driven show at the Spectrum used 10 incredible dancers, rotating mini-stages with hydraulic trap doors and 1,500 costumes to create one.

Perhaps the most ostentatious exhibition of the entire evening occurred during "Erotica," the opening number of the sold-out concert. From atop a huge go-go pole, a topless stripper, clad only in a violet G-string, slithered her way down to the stage, while parents of preteen kids forcefully ushered their children up the aisles onto the concourse, awaiting the next (and hopefully more subdued) number. It wasn't.

Madonna, who cut her hair short and dyed it platinum blond, made her entrance during the first number wearing a black crop top, sequined hot pants and black mask, all the while rotating on a mini-stage in the center of the set and doing things with a riding crop for which it was not designed. At "Erotica's" end, she and her dancers were swallowed by a hole in the stage, surrounded by flames.

Madonna did in fact wear a different costume for almost every tune: She

dressed up in a llat and tails to render "Like A Virgin" as Marlene Dietrich, then a long, gray military coat to march her dancers through a rearrangement of an earlier hit "Holiday." In "Deeper and Deeper," Madonna threw on a blond Afro wig and classic '70s bell-bottoms, complete with mile-high platform shoes.

Sure, it's campy, but it is a lot of fun.

The best moment of the concert, however, had to be when Madonna, wearing a red Phillies jersey over fishnet stockings, short denim cut-offs and an even shorter tank-top, stopped her show to shout, "I understand there's some stiff competition for me across the street."

The fans, unaware of Toronto's firstinning World Series explosion at the Vet, cheered.

Madonna then went on to say how much she dislikes the "too-conservative" city of Toronto and their Blue Jays.

In fact, she said some downright nasty things w)len it came to "every team that's not the Phillies" and "every city that's not Philadelphia."

This time, the crowd ·went absolutely berserk.

But how eager is the rest of the world to see Madonna? Pretty eager judging from ticket sales in New York City, London, Paris, Australia and her hometown of Detroit. But even if Madonna can still put on "one of the greatest shows on earth," her career outlook is uncertain. After last year's "Sex" book and less than successful movie ("Body of Evidence") and album ("Erotica"), her popularity seems to be at an all-time low. In addition, her relationship with the American media has changed, making her seem less like the reigning popculture goddess and more like a washedup legend at the age of 35.

But never underestimate the power of . this "girlie."

For a performer who uses whips, cross-dressing and scantily-clad dancers to entertain an audience, Madonna sure knew how to please this sell-out Philadelphia crowd.

And who knows what tricks may be hiding up her. ... well, you figure it out.

After all, this is Madonna!

Moviesfor Halloween

by Renee Rozniatoskl staff writer

A woman is all alone in a little cabin in the middle of nowhere. She is taking a shower when she hears the sound of footsteps walking through the fallen leaves of the forest trees. Quickly she grabs a towel and runs out into the darkness. The heavy and slow-moving steps of a killer manage to keep up with her. Suddenly, everything is quiet. She stops, looks around, but he is nowhere to be found.

She continues to flee for her life, and trips over a huge log a blind person could see.

Finally, she looks up. There he is. She lets out a howl of a scream that could wake the dead. The rest is history.

As Dracula and ghosts knock from door to door for candy, the television airs a wide array of movies. Whether they are in the theater, on video, or on television, people gather to watch a thriller on this holiday of horror.

This year, two movies are in the theater for those who want to go out for the evening.

"The Good Son" stars Maculey Culkin as a smoking, foul-mouthed, dog-killer.

Culkin plays a bad child who gets his kicks out of malicious acts.

"Malice' is one of the newest horror flicks to hit the screens. It stars Alec Baldwin as a doctor who creates a lovehate triangle with his wife, Nicole Kidman, and a college dean, Bill Pullman.

If a night out is not a great idea, there are a number of nail-biters available on home video.

"Friday the 13th" is about a boy who drowned while attending a summer camp.

In the beginning of this movie series, Jason's mother is trying to get revenge for her sons death. As the movies continues, Jason comes baclc to life. Through out eight movies he acquired a body count of 85 mass murders and countless scores of unreported others.

"This is a great pick for Halloween because you can get into the spirit of the holiday by watching it," first-year student Kim Sheldon said.

Another movie series is "Nightmare On Elm Street." This is the story of a man, named Freddy Krueger who enters

people's dreams and kills them. As a child, he watched his father burn to death when the town's people set him on fire.

Ultimately, Freddy vowed revenge on these people.

If a single movie is more appropriate, or if repetition seems nerve-wracking, here are some suggestions.

"Pet Semetary" is a Stephen King book-made-movie about a family who moves into the suburbs. Their cat was killed on a busy road, and they bury it in a cemetery for pets. Then their little boy is hit by a gasoline tanker, and eventually dies. His father buries him in the same cemetery as the ca~. Soon, they find out that the boy is buried in unholy ground.

The boy rises from the dead and goes on a killing spree.

"This is a great movie to watch on Halloween because it is a day to get scared, and this movie will do it," said Lisa Belano, a first year student.

"Halloween" is about Michael Myers.

He is a serial killer in Indiana. It all started when he was a boy and saw his sister kissing a boy. He did not like this, so he killed her and her boyfriend. For this, he was sent away to a mental institution. He managed to somehow escape.

Some people cannot stomach an hour and a half of blood and gore. Halloween comedies are a possible alternative.

"Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," and "Ghostbusters" play on horror movie characters.

"Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" is a classic black and white movie.

The comic duo meet up with characters such as Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolfman. The underlying horror of these classic monsters is covered by crazy antics and jokes.

"Ghostbusters" is a film about a team of misfitted doctors who vow to save New York City from being overtaken by evil spirits. Although this film is not a thriller by any stretch of the imagination, it once again makes light of malicious poltergeists.

Should the video store shelves be empty, many local television stations air thrillers. If all else fails, and flipping channels does not help, there is always the yearly showing of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."

The line winded down South Street, where he was outside of the Tower Book Store, and went for eight blocks. Out of the 25,000 fans, only 2,300 got their books signed by Stern.

The first person to get his book signed had arrived at five p.m. on Friday and camped out all night in 30 degree tern-

peratures. Stern only made it to the section of the line that arrived by 5 :30 Saturday morning.

Some fans traveled from Cleveland and Minnesota to get their books signed

by Stern.

Jay Leno also showed up on his way back form a guest appearance in Atlantic City.

Stern was kicked off of South Street by the Philadelphia cops at four p.m. because of the cities lack of funds to pay the officers overtime. The police were afraid the crowd might become unruly

and their would be no officers on duty to control the crowd.

On his morning show, Stern apologized to the fans in Philly and said he was canceling his other book signing appearances because of the lack of fairness to the 27,000 fans whom stood in line and did not get their book signed.

Some of these 27,000 fans were from Cabrini.

"We stood in line for eight hours, but did not get his autograph," senior Kim

Bank plansto remove 'moneyaccess'

by Kelly McDonald co-news editor

The Money Access Center (MAC) provides the campus community with fast money. With the push of a few buttons, students and faculty have easy access to money with the convenience of not leaving campus. This convenience has been available at Cabrini for three years and may come to an end at the end of this semester. . According to John Barclay, vice president of financial affairs, the MAC machine in the Widener Center will be taken out if Cabrini cannot pay for it or find another bank to take responsibility for it.

When a MAC machine is installed on a college campus, either the school or the bank takes responsibility for the funds necessary to finance it.

Currently Bryn Mawr Trust is the bank that takes responsibility for the machine, and they pay for it.

Richard Fuchs, vice president of branch operations at Bryn Mawr Trust, said t~at the income from the MAC machine is not covering the cost and expenses necessary to keep it in service.

"There is not enough utilization of the MAC machine for this to be a useful endeavor for the bank." Fuchs said.

Approximately 1500 transactions take place per month at Cabrini, and the break even point for the bank is 8,000 - 10,000 transactions per month.

Fuchs said profit is based on the number of people who use the machine. He also said that over 90 percent of the people who use the machine are not Bryn Mawr Trust depositors, which means they do not have accounts

First-year student Andrea Kelliher uses the MAC machine in the Widener Center.

If SGA is not able to get another bank to sponsor the machine, students may not have this source of money access. there. Therefore not enough money is generated and the bank does not receive enough money.

"If more students had accounts at Bryn Mawr Trust or they supplied more student loans, it might be worth it for the bank to keep

the MAC machine here," Barclay said.

Fuchs said he approached Barclay about the problem last April, and an acceptable arrangement could not be established.

Therefore, if the Student Government Association (SGA) does not generate enough interest from the campus community, the MAC machine will be removed on or after December 1.

According to Maryanne Walker, corresponding secretary for SGA the organization is in search of another bank to take over the MAC for a decent price.

Therefore, the bank that fits most into Cabrini's price range is Franklin Mint Credit Union. They charge a fee of $4800.

Walker said that SGA is responsible for $2000 of the money toward the MAC machine. and the school will provide the remainder of the money needed.

In order to raise this money, Walker said SGA will hold fundraisers such as legal parties in \\'hich the benefits will go to the MAC machine.

Students and faculty will be greatly effect by this change if it occurs.

Sophomore Karen Lawrence said she does not have a car to goto the bank and get money if she needs it, so if the MAC machine is removed it will cause a great inconvenience to her.

"Why should I have to drive somewhere when there is alreadv. one located . on campus," Lawrence said.

According to Walker, SGA needs support from the campus community to keep the MAC machine operating on Campus. So get ready or a barrage of legal parties and a slew of other fundraisers.

First-yearstudentsreact to campussocial life

by Katina Corrao staff writer

As you look around campus, you see the trees blowing, the leaves falling and first-year students managing their way through their first year of college.

Stephanie Casinell i, first-year student, has a great outlook on Cabrini.

"Of course, at first I was nervous because I thought that I'd get Jost and not be able to find my way around. Obviously, I was wrong. It is easy,'' Casinelli said.

The small size of Cabrini was not a problem for Casinelli.

Casinelli said, "Cabrini is small, and that is what I like about it. I made a lot of friends. and that is what Cabrini is all about."

Faculty and staff are what first-year student Gioia Bozzacco, a commuter, is proud of.

"When I thought of colle~e, I thought that teachers would just go to class and leave," she said. "I was wrong. Cabrini teachers are always there for you, and are always willing to help you."

Frances Titcombe. first-year student, said, ·'Some of the part-time teachers don't care about you as much as the full-time staff.''

Bozzacco also said she feels the whole school accepts first-year students right off the bat.

"Upperclassmen try hard to get you involved in activities," Bozzacco said.

Christa Gervasi, first-year student, is a commuter from South Philadelphia.

"Even though I take the train everyday, I like being a commuter," Gervasi said. "The only problem I've had is with the van service from the l>tationbeing on time."

Titcombe said, "The shuttle bus is always late the days I take the train."

Gervasi said how she feels everyone at Cabrini is really friendly, and they make her feel comfortable.

"I really enjoy the Big Brother/Big Sister Program. My big sister Karen Szczurek has become a good friend that I can tum to for help," Gervasi said.

Athletic Camp, which starts a few weeks before classes start, seems to be where Michaelle Mcilvaine first got a peek at Cabrini life.

Mcilvaine said, "I made a lot of friends during tennis camp. Everyone was really friendly. Cabrini is all that I expected it to be and more."

Titcombe said, "Ifwe had a girl's lacrosse team I'd play, but none of the other teams offered interest me."

Dan Fitzpatrick is a first-year student and commuter. He feels the entire student body is pretty friend! y.

"My experience with the upperclassmen at Cabrini has been a positive one," Fitzpatrick said.

Fitzpatrick explains how the shuttle bus to the train makes his commute much easier.

"Commuting, in· general, makes it a lot harder to get involved in the social aspect of college that Cabrini offers," Fitzpatrick said.

During the summer, Cabrini offers SOAR (Summer Orientation and Registration).

Marianne DeFruscio, director of student activities, along with orientation counselors, organize sessions and prepare incoming students for college life.

Nicole Berg, sophomore transfer from Immaculata College, felt the SOAR program was a lot of fun.

"I liked the comedian and the skits," she said. "After I left, I realized that Cabrini was like a second home to me," said Berg.

Berg also feels that Cabrini offers more activities on campus than Immaculata, which she described as a "suitcase college."

"With all the social activities here, you can almost be sure you will have a fun-filled weekend," Berg said.

Students'make a run for the border'

by Sheila Brady staff writer

The clock struck 12:30 p.m., and it seemed that every person on a lunch break was running for the border.

Two women stood in front of the register in business suits with a list of orders. A young man with construction boots and paint splashes on his clothes waited behind them.

There were two young women, with backpacks, looking up at the bright menu board as they wrestled a couple single dollars out of their pockets.

The line was long, but it moved quickly during the lunch time rush at the new Taco Bell in Wayne.

Stacy Shapiro, Taco Bell's general manager, said business has been going very well, and they have been very welcomed by the community.

Shapiro said their Lancaster Avenue location is a good one because there are

not many fast food places in the immediate area.

However, there is a Roy Rogers right up the street. Barbara Pyett, Roy Rogers supervisor, said "This week we've been real slow." Then Pyett added she did not think it had ing to do with the opening of t Taco Bell.

This is only on a trial basis, according to Whatelock.

Shapiro said she would be glad to see the Taco Expresses opening around the Main Line area.

Since Taco Bells are company- owned restaurants, it is not a matter of competition. All the profits go to the same company, unlike many fast food restaurants.

Taco Bell, which used to be a hardly known fast food restaurant is changing.

This is occurring through expansion such as the new Taco Bell store, advertising and much hard work from people like Shapiro and her crew.

Lady Cavs prep ·for PAC Tourney

The Lady Cavs will host the PAC women's volleyball tournamenr championship this Saturday at 1 p.m.

Cabrini earned a berth in the tournament by defeating Immaculata College last Friday in straight sets. Cabrini finished the PAC season at 5-0 in the Southern Division.

Their overall record is 17-13, and their last match will be this evening against Manor Junior College.

Coach Jim Harrigan based the success of this year's team on the cohesiveness they show on the court and on a very deep bench.

Harrigan said, "We have had teams in the past where we would play with six girls, and my hands would be tied: I couldn't make substitutions.

This year is an entirely different situation. All eleven players have contributed to the team."

On Saturday, the Lady Cavs will open against Marywood.

The two teams met earlier in the season, but Cabrini was missing a few players.

First-year student Stephanie Miller attributed the team's cohesiveness to a stretch of early season road games.

Miller said, "We were able to meet the other people on the team by traveling on the van to all the away games. Somebody different was sitting next to you every day, and we grew close because of it."

Both Miller and Harrigan said that fan support was a key to a victory this weekend.

The team has been missing two of their starters for the past week.

Sophomore Stephanie Eberhardt has been suffering from strep throat, and first-year student Dawn Johnson has been home attending to personal business.

Harrigan expects to have both ladies in uniform this weekend.

Harrigan said, "I plan to see if Steph can practice on Friday night, but she should be okay. 1' The team·lost a match to Widener on Tuesday night in straight sets. However, both Eberhardt and Johnson were not in uniform, forcing Harrigan to use an unorthodox lineup.

If the Lady Cavs advance past Marywood, they will be taking on the winner of the Immaculata -Misericordia matchup.

Cabrini has played all of these team.; this season.

Harrigan said, "I think that we will probably meet Misericordia in the final.

It . should be a good match." ,

Last week in the worldof sports Tap in

by Tim Wonson staff writer

The road has come to an end and all the Phillies can do now is look back and remember. The Phillies lost the sixth and final game of the World Series to the Blue Jays last Saturday night. The final score of the game was eight to six.

The game-winning run was driven in by Toronto's Joe Carter.

Mitch Williams was pitching for the Phillies at the time.

Williams said, "I let my team down but I'm not going to commit suicide or anything like that."

Williams has received a number of death threats already.

John Kruk looked back on the series in a more positive light.

Kruk said "I got to play in the world series, and I had a hell of a time,"

NFL players are beginning to more vocally assert their collective disdain for astroturf. So far this year there have been four separate turf-related injuries. The latest was Mike Sherrard, wide receiver for the New York Giants. He was injured last week in their game

against the Eagles. Sherrard fractured and dislocated his hip without even being touched by another player. The Eagles have lost six players to knee injuries, injuries that probably would not have occurred on more forgiving grass. Out of the 12 games played by the Eagles this year, including pre-season, only one was on grass.

The media's overwhelming choice for the Heisman Trophy so far is Charlie Ward. Ward is the starting quarterback for Florida State. Florida State is currently ranked number one in the coaches' poll in USA Today. The Seminoles are s~ven and zero so far this season.

The AP top 10 for this week were a3 follows.

1. Florida St. 7-0-0 2. Notre Dame 8-0-0 3. Ohio St. 7-0-0 4. Miami 5-1-0 5. Alabama 6-0-1 6. Nebraska 7-0-0 7. Arizona 7-0-0 8. Tennessee 5-1-1 9. Auburn 7-0-0

10. Florida

5-1-0

Johnny Johnson, Illinois quarterback, was able to find Jim Klien for a touchdown in the final 34 seconds of their game against Michigan. This last minute touchdown put Illinois on top of Michigan, 2421. This was the first time that Illinois beat Michigan at Michigan since 1966.

Dave Williams of the Houston Oilers was fined last week. Williams missed the Oilers game against the New England Patriots because his wife was having a baby. The fine came to $111,111.

The Department of the Interior and the Department of Commerce released some surprising figures last week, pertaining to hunting. Over ten million people hunt for deer, making it the most hunted animal in the country.

Squirrels came in at the middle of the pack, only being shot at by 3.6 million different people.

While doves, the symbol of peace, are only hunted by close to two million people.

The Jets and the Giants are going to be facing each other for the first time since 1988 this Sunday.

The two teams have only played each other six times since 1970. In their last outing the Jets prevailed, beating the Giants 27-21. Over the years the teams have split the series with three a piece.

The owners of the 28 NFLteams are still trying to decide to which city they are going to allow to start new franchises. As it now stands their are five cities in contention; St. Louis Charlotte Baltimore Memphis and Jacksonville. The two cities mostly like to receive the franchises are St. louis and Charlotte. The last time new franchises were started was back in 1976. The teams created were the Sea hawks and the Buccaneers. Their bids ran at 16 million dollars while todays bids are up near 140 million dollars.

Charlotte was selected on Wednesday as one of these cities.

They have chosen the nickname Panthers. The other team will not be decided for a while.

Cross-countrytacklesBard Invitational

by Diane Wrobleski staff writer

For many people, running may not seem like a sport but a form of work out. However. Cabrini's cross country team realizes that running is a true sport fought on individual, mental and physical levels. It is an all-terrain, high endurance baftle that is similar to mountain· biking but without the bike.

Speaking of mountains, the team challenged 10 opposing schools, and a total of29 runners in the Bard Invitational at the Catskills in Kingston, N.Y. on Oct. 23.

They ran a three-mile mountainous course. As a result, caution was needed in some ef the bad footing areas. In general, the course was in satisfactory condition. It was dry and well marked.

The team placed second out of the 10 teams in the race.

On an individual level, Kate Spires, a first-year student who placed second, and Kristen Vento, another first-year student, placed ninth. Both received awards at the meet for their performances.

The captain of the team, senior Lori Staneruck said, "We have a strong freshman team this year. As. a result, we will have a very strong team for the next few years."

Out of the seven female runners, three are first-year students.

Coach Tom O'Hora said, "The women's team is doing very well.

Three of the strongest members are freshmen. Experience on the college level was a big concern but not anymore because they have been doing very well."

O'Hora said, "The team doesn't have a depth as other teams do, so everyone must run well. A lot of pressure is on each person."

The men's team has been suffering due to injuries and sickness.

Because of these complications, they are not able to "place" for the team.

When it comes to the big picture though, O'Hora said. "I am happy with the team. They must always remember to pace things just right in order to do well. If they do too much too soon they could blow it, or run out of gas."

Coach O'Hora is now focusing

on the next two weeks of tough practice that lie ahead before the PAC championship. O'Hora said, "My concern is not only on performance but also on the health of the team. The change of season causes sicknesses that the team can not afford right now," O'Hora said.

Staneruck said, "The out look of the team for the Cabrini College Invitational Oct. 30, and the PAC championships a week later, looks good. We have a good chance.

Everyone is working hard for it and our speed has been increasing."

O'Hora said, ·'This team has the courage and determination. Success is on their willingness, most of which is mental willingness. This team has it, and they also have heart. They work w.ell as individuals and as a team."

The cross country team will host the Cabrini College Invitational this Saturday at noon. That is their final meet of the season before the PAC Championships.

Both the men's and women's teams are the defending conference champions.

sportseditor Baseball is a slow, methodical game. It fits its season, summer, better than any other sport. It is designed to be that way. Baseball is not supposed to be sudden.

The magical ride which the 1993 Phillies took us on disintegrated into a ball of flames late Saturday night.

Suddenly. · One pitch, a slider that did not have enough bite ended the dreams of millions of Phil• adelphians.

Joe Carter became a hero.

October has a way of doing thaf to people.

These men go down in history.

Unfortunately, so do the men on the other side of the field, the goats of October.

Donnie Moore.

Bill Buckner. And Mitch Williams.

Moore had a career year for the Angels in 1986, but Dave Henderson took him deep with two outs in the ninth inning in game 5 oftheALCS. The Red Sox won the pennant.

Donnie Moore killed him• self a few years later.

Bill Buckner was a key player for those same Red

Sox. In game 6 of the World Series, a ground ball went through his legs, and the Mets won. Thenextnigbt,tbeMets were the World Champions.

Bill Buckner was forced to move to the West Coast this past summer because of endless persecution by Red

Sox fans.

Mitch Williams saved· 43 games for the Phillies this year. He saved two more in the NLCS, and one in the World Series.

Sadly, no ol'.lewill remem-

ber that.

Mitch gave up the Serieslosing home run on Saturday night. He was two outs away from forcing a Game 7.

Mitch Williams may never get those two outs in a Phillies uniform.

This is not a defense for Mitch Williams, baseball player.

He did not do the job.

This is a plea for Mitch Williams, human being.

He gave it all that he had.

Honestly, what more can we ask?

Lacrosseendsfirstseasonof fall ball

by Catherine Smotherman staff writer

Lacrosse is kind of like rugby with less spectacular bumper stickers. They are both contact sports that engender a strong sense of team camaraderie and a spirited reputation.

Lacrosse came to Cabrini last year for the first time as a club sport. This year it is an official NCAA team.

The team has just finished a scrimmage season called fall ball. Cabrini wrapped up fall ball by participating in a four-team round-robin tournament at St. Joseph's University Saturday.

It was a bad day for the Cavaliers, who lost all three games, to St. Joseph's 10-2, to Stockton State College 6-2 and to Long Island University Southampton

9-6.

The consolation is that all they really lost were bragging rights. Randy Mills, head coach, emphasized that fall ball is "all fun and games," and serious lacrosse starts in January.

Mills said, "It doesn't count until the spring. The team should be a lot better than last year."

Mills said Saturday's losses were due to mistakes. He said, "Making a mistake in something you do not know about is

one thing, but making a mistake with something you should know about is something else. Mental errors really hurt us. But we'll be all right."

Nate Carter, sophomore, said, "Our heads just aren't in the game. These teams aren't that good. We should have beat them."

The most striking thing about the lacrosse team is the degree to which they hang.together. Mills' philosophy is that the team is tamily, both on the field and off.

The players are right in step with him on this. Mills said it is common for lacrosse teams to be very close.

Carter, in his sixth year of playing lacrosse, said it is true of every lacrosse team he has ever seen.

Last year the lacrosse team, in the tradition of some other predominantly male institutions, solidified their team spirit with shaven heads.

Ray Ewing, junior, said it was the captains' idea that the rookies should shave their heads, and then pretty much everyone got into it.

Mills attributed the team spirit in part to the fact that lacrosse fs a contact sport, played in all kinds of weather.

Mills said, "Usually guys grow together, this new term, male bonding."

Kevin Besemer, sophomore, co-captain and goalie, said he loves hitting, "I feel free on the field."

That freedom goes only so far though.

Hitting below the belt is against the rules in lacrosse and that rule is so well respected that players wear no protective equipment below the waist.

About the social aspect of the team Besemer said, "We eat, sleep, do everything together. We're a unit."

Mills is expecting several lacrosse players to transfer into Cabrini in January. He said these players will bring a lot of potential to the team.

Mills said he likes starting a new program.

He said, "It is a lot of fun. You have to be tolerant when starting a new program because you' re dealing with a lot of inexperienced players. Out of the 10 starting players six are playing college ball for the first time."

Almost all of the 23 players on the current roster are first-year students or sophomores.

Carter said the down side of having a young team is that "new people who haven't played together just aren't as cohesive." Carter also said the team does have ample leadership.

Mills came to Cabrini last year from

Gardner Webb College in North Carolina. He did not come empty handed. He brought his assistant coach, Owen Benedict, and several players he had originally recruited for Gardner Webb.

Lacrosse is very strong in New York and Maryland and is a growing sp<5rt in Pennsylvania.

Mills said there were 2,500 high school lacrosse players. in Pennsylvania last year. Lacrosse is the oldest sport in America, having been played by Native Americans, prior to Columbus' arrival, who called it baggataway.

As they approach their first season of being a full-fledged team, the squad is eager to get going.

Fall ball was a way of getting the players in shape for the season.

The regular season, which begins in the spring, holds some interesting match ups.

Cabrini will play Stockton State, Marietta College, St Vincent's, Maine Maritime Academy, Sacred Heart University, Vassar c;ollege, Widener University, Stevens Tech, Virginia Wesleyan, and will compete in the Dowling College Tournament.

Coach Mills hopes to end up with a better record than the one compiled by last year's team.
