Bookstore reopens with new look, fewer books

by Diane Wrobleski staff writer The bookstore at Cabrini College began a new chapter before Thanksgiving, as a two-week renovation project was launched.

The purpose of the renovation was not only to modernize and upgrade the store's appearance but also to organize and distribute the flow of traffic evenly throughout the aisles.

However, a few complications did arise, as the store opened to this new chapter.

The store is run by the Follett company of Chicago, an indepen-

dent contractor, which designed and supplied the store with new shelves, display racks and other materials.

Follett operates over 425 college stores throughout the United States.

ThecompanybeganleasingCabrini's store in April of 1992, but the decision to renovate did not occur until this past July, when the plan was financially activated through the college's budget agreement with Follett.

The renovation work itself could not begin until later in the fall semester, so the inconvenience would be minimal upon the students.

The changes include a new layer of paint, new racks, stronger shelving and more gift displays. The new racks and shelves are designed to create more walking space and increase the storage quantity of each product on the shelves.

Their organization also reduces the time spent searching for books

and other supplies.

Although no structural or electrical alterations occurred, the store's new layout changes its appearance.

According to store manager George Kobeissi, said, "It used to look like a warehouse, but now it's clean, and it looks like a book store.

It provides more supplies and clothing, which improves service."

Another noticeable change is not only within the walls of the store, but on the walls. Support of school spirit is expressed through the choice of colors used in the new layer of blue ahd white paint.

Even little Cavs can show their school spirit by wearing the newly available baby T-shirts.

Some of the students noticed the blue and white colors. Junior Chris Erdmann said, "I think it's essential to takeprideinyourschool. Italsomakes things more comfortable."

The renovations may not have been obvious to everyone passing through the Widener Center. Senior Dana Caterson said, "The reason I noticed the changes was from seeing all of the trash lined up outside the store in the Wigwam. There weren't any signs or notices explaining the process, so I looked in the windows.

"It is similar to the old store, but the arrangement is better."

Some students did notice that work was going on inside the store. They were curious to see what kind of changes were taking place.

Sophomore Bryan Geraghty said, "I noticed some changes that were taking place, so I kept glancing in through the windows to see what was happening."

One major concern lies in the fact that Cabrini's bookstore is present! y book.less. Books spend only six weeks of their shelf life on Cabrini's

shelves, at the beginning of each semester.

The books are then sent back to the companies after this period. This is because the store loses money on idle books.

Erdmann said, "A book I needed was already sent back, so I had to buy a different translation, which made things unnecessarily difficult."

Kobeissi said, ·'Toe faculty has been informed to tell students that they must buy their books at the beginning of each semester because of this."

However, "Students can order certain books, but they will incur the extra costs of shipping and handling.

I'm willing to accept suggestions," Kobeissi said.

The bookstore will continue to stay open during business hours, throughout the conclusion of the renovation project.

Jinglesshouldbe catchy,not cheesy

WARNING! This piece is rated

How many people have turned on the radio and heard the new Cabrini College jingle? Then, how many of you turned your head the opposite way in embarassment?

If you too have been a victim of torment due to the radio version of E::abrini's commercial, stand up and fight! We should be able to hold our heads high and not hide because of a college jingle.

Let's get real. The song is cheesy, the lyrics are sophomoric and the voice sounds as if it never reached puberity. The worst part about the advertisement is when your six-year-old cousin comes to visit for the holidays and can sing along, throughout an eight-course meal.

Where is the Cabrinivoice? Why are studentssilenced? Ourvoices shouldbe heard loudly and triumphantly. Sing of our school's praises,or least record a neat cheer with hundreds of wild students trappedin the lecture hall. We can do it, trust us.

If it were not for the students, there would be no Cabrini College. We have the right to make suggestionsfor future advertisementsfor theschool. After all, it is the students whoappearon thecoversof admissionsmaterials.RadiostudentsofWYBFareperfectly capableofproducinga top-notchcommercial.Whatbettercollegeadvertisementisthere than a commercial actuallycreated by Cabrini students?

This was a valid attempt at a new approach for Cabrini's commercial, and the more publicity for the collge, the better. Public relations must have spent a lot of time working out the words for the jingle, and hours must have been spent mixing it all together with that groovy music.

Negative responses have been passed around about the new advertisment.

Does the college truly expect to recruit new students with that commercial?

Nothing beats waking up in the morning to "Cabrini ...STAND OUT!!!" blaring out of a clock radio. What do high school students think of us?

Take the hint. If Cabrini students hate the college jingle, prospective students hate it too. Pull the jingle from the airwaves before it causes real amage and drives away future studen s.

Have no fear, hope is near! Mr. MAC has been saved. The old machine will be absent temporarily, but a new money access center will assume the responsibilities of good 'ol !',,fr.MAC. Paper has been carelessly tossed around the mailboxes, and there is a solution to this problem. In order to save our planet, we need to recycle. A recycling bin could greatly benefit the earth, as well as Cabrini students.

This semes!er's registration went off without a hitch! Many students were m and out of the office in no time and celebrated this year's painless college ritual of registering.

Like most children, I had many friends.

The particular day determined who was my "best friend." It was not until I reached eight or nine that I realized I had one very special best friend right in front on my eyes.

I confided my deepest secrets in her.

I trusted her judgment, and I depended on her whenever I need a shoulder to cry on. She was my mom.

As I grew up, it seemed as though we only got closer. I could talk to her about the crazy boy problems I, like most teenagers, encountered. She did not think I was silly, and she always took the time to really listen.

Oddly enough, I could even shop with her. She was always into the latest fashion and never left home without her hair done and make-up on. My friends considered her a cool mom and were often jealous. She was my mom and my best friend. ~oU&!.!._in the bad times. like report card time.

I always knew she

would smooth things over with my dad, who was very strict on grades. She did not make the problems disappear, but she did help soften the blow.

She was there through the triumphs as well as the failures and could always make the worst situation seem better.

Then one day I became a part the rising population of dysfunctional, one-parent families. That one parent was my dad.

At the end of my sophomore year in high school, my parents decided to separate. My Brady Bunch-perfect family had slipped out from under my feet, and I lost my best friend all at the same time.

During the next few months, I had hope that my parents would reconcile, but I soon faced reality when my mom moved to Morrisrun, Pa., four hours away.

I had the option to go with her, of course, but the adjustments in my life were hard enough to face without moving to a new school, making new friends and living in a new neighborhood. But my mom was gone.

I guess the reason it was so hard for me to acccept was because I woke up in the morning, and she was not there. I came home from school with good news to share, and she was not there. I had a terrible day and needed that shoulder to cry on, and she was not there.

My dad was forced into the position of not only being my father but also my mother. He had to learn to deal with the girl things I had happening in my life. Up to this point, most of the time we shared was spent fishing, hunting or practicing for my softball team.

My resentment toward my mom, for what I considered abandonment, caused me to shut her out of my life completely, because it just hurt too much. I could not ace~ the fact that she had another life without me; after all, she was my moni, my best friend.

I wanted nothing to do with her new life.

I did not want to hear she was happy or that she had a new house and new friends. I could

not understand why she did not want to just be here with me or how she could leave me, her daughter and her best friend.

Three years later, I have gradually come to acknowledge my mom's new life. I guess you could call it maturity. I do not know what to call it. I have my own new life that I would have had even if she not have moved away. I still would have gone away to college. Maybe she realized that before she left.

Although the holidays are not the same, and she is not always there when I need a hug after a tough day, I know she is only a phone call away.

And I do have my dad, who has developed into a very understanding, tolerant man.

Come to think of it, I guess I am to thank for that. I definitely have taken my dad for a ride on an emotional rollercoaster, the roliercoaster I call life. Coping with all the crazy escapades in my life, such as proms and formals, from the perspective of a dad trying his best to act like a mom, would make any man a saint.

I believe everything in life happens for a reason. If my parents had not separated, I probably would not have become so close to my dad. So thanks, mom, for making me realize my dad is an important person in my life and my friend too.

Also, I think this happened because I took my mom for granted. As the saying goes, you clon't know what you have until it is gone. Now I realize what I had.

My journey off the path of the norms of society Diane Wrobleski, staff writer

So who said a woman of the '90s had to have an attitude and be aggressive? Well, cheers to them! However. that's not quite what ifs all about. On the other hand, that was the kggage I took with me on my journey into the realm of carpentry and framing, two summers ago.

Society, strangely as it seems, packed my luggage for me. Yet, as I opened my luggage the first day on my first job site. I noticed that what society had packed for me was not necessarily what I needed at all. Don't get me wrong, you always need the basics, but beyond that, I was on my own.

Two summers ago, I was hired by a private contractor to build homes in suburban Philadelphia. I did carpentry work by day and kept my country club job by night and weekends.

At first, I have to admit I wasn't quite sure what possessed me to take on a dangerous job building homes, when I already had a safe and sound job at a country club. Then it came to me. I wanted to break away from the "norms" just once. I wanted to prove to everyone and myselfthat a typicalcollegestudent,who is5'3,"coulddothisjobevenifsheisafemale. This was my last chanceto take a stabat somethingI'd

neverconsidereddoingbefore.

The ad in the "help wanted" section of a newspaper became my ticket into a whole new world. I was interviewed over the phone.

The voice on the phone was straight-up, full of details describing the grueling, rigorous work that I decided to accept, no matter what.

Then I turned the tables and asked my own questions.I neededtoknowwhatthe personalities of the crew were like that I would bewith. The voice on thephonewas veryin-depthand assured me his crew consistedof guys who worked hard andworked well. Then hejoked that the majority could be on the cover of "GQ" Magazine. We laughed, and he told me not to worry, I'm not the first female he had ever hired, and to me.et his foreman early at 6 a.m. tomorrow.

At 6 a.m., I was there, but the foreman I was supposedto meetwas not I didn'tworry. Instead, I decidedto set out and find my boss,or the voice on thephone. He toldmewherehislocationwould be that day, if I had any problems.

I held my breath as I drove my car through the skeletons of houses that stood erect within the barren lots of dirt. All I remember was how my entire body went numb from nerves, except for my right leg controlling the gas pedal.

What on earth was I doing here, I wondered. This was a delicate but bold move on my part. I kept assuring myself that I had to do it. There was no turning back, I soon realized, as the unsettled dirt flew into the air with every turn of my wheels. My car was noticed, and I was being watched.

I'll never forget the surprised, shockedlook on my boss' facewhenl finally found him.

I could tell he was concerned about my size. I

My new bosswas now concerned about his foreman ,insteadof my size. He gave me a piece of wood and drewthe directionsto thejob sitethat the foreman was supposed to take me to. A few momentslater,heapologized,andlshookhishand and smiled,knowinghe acceptedmeand my size.

Around lunch time, the temperaturewas over 90 degrees. I'll never forget how much I was sweating, but chilled at the same time. I kept drinkingwater and more water 'til I thought I'd pass out I wanted to leave and go back 1o my securejob at theclub, butljustcoo1dn't ..p. I knew that,by this time,they probablyhad bets on whether I'd make it through the rest of the day. I kepttellingmyselfl'dquit,butwithdignity,bynot showingup the next morning.

I was sick and physicallyexhaustedfrom my firstday oflabor-work. They had put me through many teststhat requiredconstanthard work and a lot of speed. At the end of the day, I managed to rememberallof theirnamesfromalltheyelling,so I smiled at each one as we said our good-byes.

FiveminutesafterI satdownin my carwithmy block of wood next to me, I wanted to scream as loud as I could. It was a screamfor my physically bruisedand beatenbody,but alsoa cry of satisfaction. I was proud of myselffor making it through the day. Then Irealized I couldn't give up. I had to go back. I had to do this for myself. I was never one to give up. Plus, I was learninga lot.

I was amazedat how fast my body could go from unfit to completelytoned. I even had a deep, bronze tan, except for those forsaken sock lines!

The day Ileft my firstjob sitewas actuallysad.

That's when I realizedthat I'd miss the old house and the lady who owned it. She almost fell over when she first saw me hangingon the beamswith theguys. Afterthat,she would alwayscome by to visit and talk. The only thing I recall not missing was how every delivery man in that region just happened to deliver their materialsto that house and hang around to see if I was still there, It kind of amused me.

I would reallymiss ''Bud" the builder,though.

I was eveninvited to be a part of their annualbaseballgame against other carpentry companies. After a while, they called me "smurf," becausemy work boots were a boys' size three. Well,smurfshoes had to move on.

The move was actually my idea. I told my boss I was doing fine, but couldn't help wondering when the opportunity to actually build would finally come. He took me under his wing the next morning, and we flew off to another job site.

Aries (March 21-April 20): You have entered a phase where sex and your sexual w'ell~being have become very important. Take care of your needs all month, but communication is key on the 10 and 11. Career goals will come into focus beginning the 21 and will continue to be important through the N~w Year.

time to relax! You have been working like a dog, and it would be best to use the holidays for a time to recuperate.

Money this month will most likely come through gifts rather than work.

It is OK to be a little lazy sometimes, and this time you deserve it. Send out your Christmas cards by the 14, as the correspondence will do you good.

Taurus (April 21-May 21): Your luck has increased with relationships.

Expect rewarding interaction all month, but especially from the 10-16, as many of your dreams will come true. Watch those grades for finals time around the 15, but enjoy a more fruitful December.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): While Libra relaxes, you may be working your butt off. Do not worry; it is all for your career, and you know it will pay off in the end. You work best under pressure, and the heat is on the 15 and 16. Also, expect good news to come on the 27.

Children'sbooksauthor describesher career

by Shelia Brady staff writer

•-~

Kids are a tough audience. They want to be entertained and interested, especially when it comes to books. If a book bores them, they can be found feverishly playing a hand-held video game with sweaty palms and widened pupils, or changing Barbie's outfit for the 10th time that day and brushing her knotted hair with a tiny comb that has teeth missing. They are a tough audience and a challenge for authors.

"If boys and girls don't care what happens by the bottom of page two, they don't want to read it anymore," author Barbara Robinson said.

Robinson is the author of several books, including "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." This is the story of the Herdmans, a poor family with six children. It won the Mart Hart Lovelace Award, the Georgia Children's Book Award and the Young Hoosier Book Award.

Cabrini Spirit Day included "Six Scruffy Kids: A Writer's Other Family," a lecture delivered by Robinson in the Widener Center Lecture Hall that evening at 6:30 p.m. Her "other family" is the consequence of 20 years' work and involvement on this story, which was turned first into a play and then into a television film.

The script for that film won Robinson .. ~ an l!mm .

Robinson and her husband Jack have two grown daughters. Although she is originally from Portsmouth, a town in south Ohio, she now is a resident of nearby Berwyn.

She grew up in a family that read often. As a result, Robinson read many books. She started writing in third grade. She had good teachers,

she said, who encouraged her writing.

Many years later, Robinson sent short stories to magazines for about four to five years, but they were never published. Finally, one was published, and then another. She currently has had between 40 and 50 stories published in popular magazines, including "McCalls" and "Redhook." .

Then she wrote a longer story that her mother, who is a teacher, thought would be appropriate for boys and girls. She proceeded then to write six more books for children. The majority are for ages seven through 14, although "The Fattest Bear In First Grade" is for younger children.

Robinson said many of her books are also enjoyed by adults, who in turn share their reading with their children. Perhaps this is the nicest thing about her books.

Robinson visited Cabrini last year for a language conference. The conference presented a new system of education that uses techniques with real literature to teach children.

Robinson thinks Cabrini has a great, inviting environment and said she felt very welcomed.

College students and the rest of Cabrini's community had a larger attention span the evening of Robinson's lecture than her usual audiences. Fortunately, she finds her young readers a challenge, not an obstacle.

She finished a book about five months ago with the same characters as "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." It is due out next September.

She is currently writing another book for young adults that will not be out for at least another two weeks.

Paul Marturano, John Lindsay, Doug Eppler and Joe Marturano sing ''The Longest Time" during the Billy Joel concert held in the Red Cloud Coffee House.

Billy Joel concert held at Cabrini

by Caroline Croley staff writer

"Sing us a song, you're the piano man. Sing us a song tonight. .. " On Sunday, Nov. 21, the Red Cloud Coffee House did not feature the piano man himself, but presented Cabrini's very own Billy Joel, Paul Marturano.

Marturano, a first-year student, along with first-year students Joe Marturano and John Lindsay and Doug Eppler, a junior, came together and got everyone "feelin' all right," with some Billy Joel classics.

The night began with a dream, and for Paul it was just the beginning. Paul has been playing the piano since he was five years old and the guitar since he was 10.

As a Billy Joel fan, he was very excited with the idea of grouping up with friends and performing some of his favorite hits, including "A Matter of Trust," "Piano Man" and more.

Paul said, "I wanted to do something like this because I thought it was a good way to meet people and get a little known."

Lindsay said, "The Red Cloud gave Paul the chance to do something he really loves."

According to Lindsay, the Red Cloud gave him the opportunity to express himself in a way that people normally may not see.

Paul first hit the Cabrini stage on Nov. 9, during the grand opening of the coffee house. Eppler had asked Paul to back him up on the piano when he sang "Goodnight Saigon." According to Eppler, "The crowd seemed to adapt to us well."

After that night, Paul asked Eppler accompany his own performances. "The night Doug and I did"Goodnight Saigon"

was great," Paul said. "I know Doug has an unbelievable range and a great voice.

I figured Doug could sing the songs that I couldn't sing myself."

He added, "John, Joe and I have been together since high school, where we performed in the chorus and in other productions."

Ev~n though Joe admits to "getting a rush" while he sang, he felt the concert could have been better if the time was cut down and if he were a little more prepared.

Paul said he plans on eliminating a few songs that aren't well-known, such as "Everybody Has A Dream" and "This Night," with his future dates.

Paul and Joe agreed, however, the highlight of their evening was singing "Piano Man." Paul said, "Listening to everybody sing was awesome. There was a great feeling of togetherness, and people were just bonded in a moment."

In addition to the Billy Joel tunes, Paul presented a few originals he has written. He said most of these songs were written in high school, except for "Prayer." This piece was written three days prior to his first concert date.

Paul said he was very pleased with the crowd's response and hopes to do a night of originals sometime in the future.

Even though Paul's experiences in high school had inspired him to get in front of people, he said his academic adviser, Dr. Carter Craigie, communications professor, has also inspired him greatly.

Paul said, "Carter has helped me feel comfortable in a new place. He made me realize that it was OK to be me, and that's exactly what I did. I was myself, and I wanted the crowd to see that.

"It was also very comforting to see him there the first night."

Disney,from Snow White to Aladdin

These long-haired, size-one dancers appeared in several numbers, including "Be True to your School," inwhicheachgirlshowedher Cabrini spirit by dressing in blue and white costumes. Their half-shirts and half-skirts were sparkling, and each girl firmly held a pair of blue and white paper porn-porns.

The second song was "Kokomo," and the four were dressed in sparkling teal bikini tops, laced with delicate, light pink flowers, and matching upper thigh-length skirts.

This was followed by "Fun Fun Fun," and the girls' black jean vests barely covered their red, glittery bikini tops and matching short shorts. The black steering wheel each girl gripped firmly slightly covered red glittery gloves.

Many new songs contributed to this twoand-a-half hour concert. Popeye would have been proud of the Beach Boys, after hearing a new one called "Vegetables." Thislight-hearted song encouraged listeners to "Take care of yourself, because nobody else will."

New songs were expected and appreciated on this chilly Sunday afternoon, but from the shouting of the crowd, one could place a bet that "Kokomo" was the most wanted.

During that song and other favorites, like "Help Me Rhonda" and "Good Vibrations," the crowd was shaking their knees to the beat, clapping their hands in time and bouncing up and down to the familiar tunes.

Love cracked jokes throughout the afternoon, especially about the Beach Boys' ages.

"When we made these songs, NAFT A was an aftershave," Love said.

Right before "Be True to Your School" was sung, Love pretended he was stuck, as he bent over and screeched, "I'vefallen, and lean'! get up."

As the colored lights flickered off and on during the show, the Beach Boys threw in some of their own renditions.

"Under the Boardwalk,"by the Drifters, and "California Dreamin'," sung by the Mamas and the Papas, took a "shore" tum and were performed by the Beach Boys.

The band is primarily remembered for songs that remind one of sunny California.

"Funny,Idon'trememberdoingsongsabout drive-by shootings!" Love said.

The Beach Boys' concert attracted people from ages nine to 92. There was diversity in ages, but not in enthusiasm.

staffwriter The room was unkempt. The ceilings were grubby, and the stains on the chairs stood out immediately. A seamstress in an office worked on a dark, gray shirt. She was doing her small part in clothing a star.

A nearby table was covered with loaves of soft bread, lunchmeats, potato chips, seasonal fruits, pop tarts, donuts, condiments, coffee, tea and napkins. The backstage room had an aroma of a warm, cooked turkey. It may have been November, but something in the air said the Beach Boys were in town.

Bruce Johnston, a vocalist and keyboard player for the band, came out of one of the modem-looking dressing rooms first. He was smiling as he snatched a potato chip.

"The band has been singing together since 1965 ," Johnston said. "We do about a hundred shows a year."

Some of the Beach Boys are relatives.

Johnston, who is not a relative but a close friend, said Carl Wilson, a vocalist and lead guitarist, and Brfan Wilson, another vocalist and keyboard player, are brothers. Dennis Wilson, a former Beach Boys member and brother to Carl and Brian, drowned in 1983.

Mike Love, vocalist, is a cousin to the Wilson brothers.

Johnston explained how the group began.

"When I asked Mike about how Dennis, Carl, Brian and he originally got started, he said, 'The families got together at Christmas time, and we sang then.' No one ever gets this answer," Johnston said with a smile.

After the last picture had been taken and the last cup of herbal tea nuked in the microwave, it was time to begin the concert.

Screams from the audience were heard throughout the Valley Forge Music Fair. A creature wore a canary yellow, short-sleeved, button-down shirt and matching pants. And the outfit continued!

The figure wearing a hot pink, yellow, blue and green checkered vest, navy blue baseball cap and shoes that were red, yellow and blue, aroused the crowd. No, this creature was not Bozo the Clown, but Mike Love.

The Beach Boys opened with "California Girls." No sooner did they get their first verse out than two blondes and two brunettes came bouncing down a ramp. These four were dressed in simple bikinis with very large Ha-

Studentsreact to Seilers'changes

by Tim Wonson staff writer

Splat. Lunch is served. Just anothermeal in the life of Cabrini. Seilers is the food service company responsible for the food those at Cabrini eat, day in and day out. This is a year of change, according to Seilers'. Many students say they have not noticed the change.

Joe Karoly, a sophomore, asked, "What did they change'?"

Dave Capozzolo,another sophomore.said, "They gave us those mugs this year. That was pretty cool."

Donna Beck, cafeteria manager, said many changes, ranging from the food and the cafeteria's appearance, have gone un-noticed by students.

The place where students, as well as others in the college community, dine has undergone many facelifts over the years. Last year, the cafeteria staff hung new drapes on the windows, but this year, more extreme changes have occurred in the cafeteria.

There is a brand-new menu board, located in the cafeteria's lobby. This informs·students of the mealswhich will be served the following week. Also, photographsof past students have been hung in the cafeteria.

Beck said, ''We want to give the feeling of historyto the school. We will be changingeven thesepictures, to keep the feelingfresh inside."

Most importantly, though, is the new napkin board found in the cafe itself. This allows students to voice theiropinionsopenly and in a manner that will create change.

Becksaid, "lthelpsalot. ltwasslowtoget going, but now it is used a lot, especially to get the foods they (the students) want."

The napkin board has had a direct effect on which cereals are available, what goes into the deli bar and the expansion of the salad bar.

According to Beck, "We always answer whatever is on the board and leave it up for a day or two, for people to see."

Finally, there is the menu itself. This year, a questionnaire will be sent to a group of random students, to see what foods they would like to see on the new menu.

"We did it last year, and it worked well," Beck said. "We know that we can't please all the students all the time, but we are trying."

Dennis Fahner, a first-year student, is pleased with Seilers' overall performance, as were many others.

"The food, why it's a veritable cornucopia of oral pleasures that satiate my neverending hunger, like a Snickers, except different," Fahner said.

Fohner said he had no idea what it was like to eat in the Wigwam, because he has never eaten there.

"Why would I eat in the Wigwam?" Fohner asked. "The food is the same, from what I've seen, except I pay for itin the Wigwam, and my folks pay for it in the cafe."

The price of food in the cafeteria and the Wigwam was a concern for many students.

SPRINGBREAK

Koroly said, "I would only go to the Wigwam if I missed_ supper, because of soccer, but they only give you three bucks. You can't get anything in there for that."

Tim McManus,a junior, said,"The pricefor commuters(inthecafeteria)isfivedollars.Thar s a bit outrageousfor dinner."

Beck feels there are certain pluses and minuses to having students who cannot eat in the cafeteriabecauseof academicsandor athletics.

"The Wigwam is not an all-you-can-eat buffet, like the cafe," she said. "That is why students only receive $3. 75 for the Wigwam."

Beck went onto say, "Coach Dzik felt it was better for students to receive a hot meal in the Wigwam, as opposed to the cold lunches they used to receive."

Mark Duska, a junior, eats in the Wigwam regularly. Duskasaid, "Some of the food they serve is worth what theycharge but, then again, some of it is not."

Dann Trotter, a senior, said, "The food is of higher quality than what they serve in the cafe.

It still could be a little better, for what they charge."

Beck and Seilers' understand the problems some studentshavewith alwayscarryinglunch .money, and so they invented the gold card.

The gold card allows students ·to put a certain amount of money on a card, starting at $25.00 and going as high as the student wants.

The advantage to using the gold card is discounts. The more money a person puts on the card, the greater the discount.

Beck said, "If a person puts $50.00 on their card, they get a two percent discount, and if they put $100.00 on it, they get a four percent discount, and so on."

Brian Wolk, a senior and employee of Seilers,said, "If studentstook the time to figure out howmuch they pay per meal,they would be very surprised. I'm not going to say how much it is. Seilers makes money, though.

"That's what businesses do, make money.

Mo money, mo money, mo money."

Seilers' is a company, and a global company at that.

"We are all over the world," Beck said.

"Seilers' is in England, France, even Africa."

Thereare threeseparatedivisionsof Seilers', food service on college campuses being only one of them. They also bring food into hospitals and are in the cleaning business as well.

The food itself was trouble for a lot of students.

Francis Kelly, a sophomore said, "The Wigwam is just a small cafe, and they both suc.k,especiallythepizza.lttasteslike Wonder Bread and Ragu."

Kelly went onto say, "I had the left over Beefar6ni, and it tasted OK, but I was in the bathroom the rest of the night."

Beck said, "Left-overs are never served as a main entree, plus we only re-heat something once." ' "TheWigwamisbetterthenthecafe,it should be an option to eat there instead for dinner,"

First-year student Daniel Lorenz goes through four plates to get to something to eat in the cafeteria. Food options vary, and Seilers management claims suggestions are always welcome.

McManussaid."The food here at Cabrinicompares well to other schools. That does not mean thereisn't roomfor improvement,though."

Improvements,Beck said, occur constantly, throughthenapkinboardandquestionnaires.

Dan Lorenz, a first-year student,said, ''The foodsucks,butit'snotasbadaseveryonesaysitis."

Besemer said he felt thesame. "I rea1lycan't complainaboutthefood.Thedinnerstheygiveus on the weekendare reallynot very good, but the brunchesare allright." ''We serve thingslike ham and roastbeef on Sundaynightto make it more like home,"Beck said."We arejust tryingto help." ''The foodis not as badas everyonesaysit is," Koroly said. "It's just that they serve the same thingsoverandoveragain,soyou eitherlike it or you hateit."

Anne Marie Mauro, a senior,said, "I come from a home where everythingis made from scratch, and the food here is not that bad. It

He really does throwthem back.

Those who have never gone fishin' may not understand the appeal of selecting dinner from a stream. instead of a local supermarket. However, one misconception is that all caught fish are eaten.

Senior Joe Sacchetti. an experienced fisherman. is one example of an outdoorsman who does not exploit nature for the enjoyment of sport. After catching the fish, Sacchetti throws them into the water. ''I put all the fish back," Sacchetti said. "I don't believe in killing them iffm not going to eat them."

According to Sacchetti, his method of catching fish and throwing them back not on!y helps conservation and population but also other fisherman. ··when I put the fish back. they're always there for somebody else." he said.

Sacchetti said he usually fishes at Valley Forge or Allentown but has also traveled to the Poconos and the New Jersey shore for fishing trips. He has been fishing since he was a young child.

--Mydad was into it.'' Sacchetti said, "and he figured hemightaswelltakethekid. I fish because it keeps me sane. It takes off some of the pressure from school and work."

Sacchetti has worked in Margate as a boat captain, taking passengers fishing for tuna.

After graduation, Sacchetti said he would like to make "decent" money and buy his own boat.

While awaiting his dream, Sascchetti may continue having fishing adventures. He recalled one notorious trip in Philadelphia.

"I fell in the Schuylkill River," Sacchetti said.

"I was terrified I would get polluted, or something.

All the water got in my boots and made this washing machine sound."

While fishing this past March, Sacchetti did not fall into another river, because that task would have been impossible.

"Wewentfishingrightafterthe bigsnowstorm, and the stream was completely frozen," he said.

"This was a 50 foot-wide stream. and we were standing on the ice, trying to cast under it.

"We dido 't catch anything that day."

Last week in the world of sports Tap in

by Renee Rozniatoski staff writer

There is some light at the end of the tunnel. That is what the Eagles seem to believe these days. With Randall Cunningham injured and one or two players helped off the field each week, this season has left much to be desired in the win column.

While the bruised and battered Eagles, however, lost six consecutive games; the Dallas Cowboys have also begun to struggle, giving the Eagles some hope.

While people gave thanks around dinner tables all over the country, the Cowboys sat wondering what went wrong. Dallas led the Miami Dolphins 16-14 in the fourth quarter.

With seconds left in this holiday nailbiter, the Cowboys blocked a field goal attempt by Miami's kicker, Pete Stoyanovich.

All Dallas had to do to ensure victory was down the ball. Leon Lett, the Cowboys defensive left tackle, smelling victory, accidentally slid, kicking the ball down to the one-yard line. With five seconds left in the game, Miami recovered the fumble.

Stoyanovich once again set up for a field goal. He split the uprights, and the Dolphins stole a win from Dallas, 17-16.

The Eagles saw this loss as an opportunity to pressure the secondplace Cowboys. On Sunday, Nov. 28, the Eagles took the field against the Washington Redskins. The Eagles came out with a strong desire to endtheirsix-gamelosingstreak. They

controlled the ball and the Redskins for three quarters, allowing only one touchdown.

However, in the proud tradition of Philly sports, they had to squander their lead. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles began experiencing some difficulty. They had their first two penalties of the game. They could not contain the Redskin offense at midfield, and they allowed them enough first downs to score another touchdown.

Time became the deciding factor of the game. With no time-outs, the clock ran down on Washington. The Eagles finally won the game by the score of 17-14.

With the Dallas loss on Thanksgiving Day and the Eagles' win, Philadelphia has pulled within two games of second place. If the Eagles can manage to win all of their five remaining games, they may be able to clinch the wild card slot in the playoffs ..

As far as injuries are concerned, the Flyers are also suffering a loss.

With Eric Lindros out for another week or two, the Flyers just could not win a game. This changed on Nov. 24 when the Flyers faced off against the Montreal Canadiens. In an explosive game of hard hits and goals galore, the Flyers melted the ice with a 9-2 victory.

Mark Recci, a Flyers forward, had one goal and four assists. Kevin Dineen, team captain, completed the night with a hat trick.

Cabrini question: A college football tourney?

by Bob Macartney sports editor

The question posed to the Cabrini population this week was the following: Should there be a championship tournament in college football?

Everybody who answered did so with a resounding "yes."

The question is extremely important this year because of the high numberofteams that still have a shot at the National Championship.

In fact, going into the bowl games, there are still five teams who could emerge on New Year's Day as National Champions.

Nebraska could wrap up the title by beating Florida State in the Orange Bowl. The Cornhuskers are 11-0 entering the game.

Florida State (10-1) is ranked second in the coalition poll and could walk away with the National Championship by beating Nebraska.

The third-ranked Mountaineers of West Virginia have the biggest beef entering the bowl games.

They, too, are undefeated, al 11-0.

However, they are still ranked below the Seminol~s. They will play Notre Dame, probably in the Fiesta Bowl, and could win the championship, if they win, and if Florida State beats Nebraska.

Notre Dame (10-1) could still merit the title, if they defeat West Virginia, and Florida State beats Nebraska. That would give all four teams one loss, and the Fighting Irish could argue thatthey beat Florida State and should be the champs.

Which brings us to the most in-

triguing possibility. Auburn (11-0) is on probation and barred from a bowl game. However, if all four teams have one loss, then the Tigers would be the only unbeaten team in the nation, a claim that usually brings a title.

All of this practically cries out for a tournament, doesn't it?

Junior John Feketics said, "I think there should be a tournament in college football, so all of the good teams don't get shafted."

Feketics added that he thinks Florida State, ranked second in the coalition poll, deserves to be ranked that high, despite their loss.

First-year student Reggie Moore agrees for a different reason.

Moore said, "It should not be up to the coaches to decide who should be number one. The only criteria should be wins and quality of sched-

ule. West Virginia should not have been shafted, like they were."

Sophomore Jim Iacavino said, "I think there should be a 16-team tournament, to decide the champi-

on."

According to senior Jeff Patti, there should be a tournament because of the parity in college football.

"There is always a chance of bias with the voters," according to Patti.

Trivia Answer Guy Rodgers is the only playerin NBAhistoryto have scoredover 10,000 points,despitemaking fewerthan 38 percentof his field goals.

to Mac

byBob Macartney sportseditor On page 62 of the 1993-94 Cabrini College Student Handbook, the section on intramurals reads "The intra~ mural program at Cabrini is coordinated by the Student Government Association and is open to all students, facultyand staff.While intramural offerings vary annually, somesports that have been sponsored in the past include: Softball, Flag Football, Basketball, Billiards, Floor Hockey and Volleyball."

Since I have been here, the intramural program hasconsisted of volleyball, softball and an aborted attempt at flag football.

With the rise in incoming students this year, it seemed a perfect time to upgi&de the intramural program.

So, what happens? The first semester is winding down, and there has not been one intramural game.

There has not even been an attempt to organize a meet ing to start the program.

Assuming that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind, this school does nothing to provide its students with the opportunity to partake in athletic activity.

In fact, if students do not possess enough ability to make a varsity team, there are no other options.

There has beentalk about talcingthe physical education department out of the core curriculum.

There are limited resources for students who attempt to take the situation into their own bands. The gym is occupied nearly every day from dawn to midnight by the respective teams, leaving no time for individual advancement.

And there is no intramural program.

There is one solution.

Take yourideasand views on the subject to SGA. Volunteers are always needed to help run the leagues.

Even if you are only interested in playing, let SGA know there is interest. If no mterest is shown, there will be no games.

Intramurals are fun for everybody involved. There is no reason for them not to exist.

Lady Cavs hope to repeat in PAC

by Brian Siatkowski staff writer

With a dark gymnasium and empty stands, Cabrini's women's basketball team has secretly gotten underway by practicing at Archbishop Carroll High School. After compiling an unprecedented record last season of 21-5, the Lady Cavs have high hopes of repeating as PAC champions.

Coach Dan Welde, opening his eighth season as head coach of the women's team, feels confident his team will come together as the season progresses.

"As time goes on, this team will develop into one of the better teams we have ever had," Welde said.

The Lady Cavs have already competed a season opening tip-off tournament in Baltimore, Md. After defeating Lebanon Valley 84-81, with the help of sophomore guard Patti Carr's 24 points, the Lady Cavs lost a close game to College of Notre Dame, 54-52, in the finals.

With six first-year students, the team is young. First-year student Kelley Kempton, a 5'8" guard from Drexel Hill, Pa. said the team hopefully will win the PAC. Kempton agreed with her roommate, firstyear student Megan Dillon, a 5' 9" forward, that the team is very good, even though the players are young.

A confident Welde said, "This year's freshman class is better than last years, and last year's was the best."

First-year student Nancy Kraus, a guard from Wissahickon, Pa., said, "We have to get used to playing together. We have to play a fast-paced game."

Erin O'Neill, a 5'8" forward from Glenolden, Pa., said the Lady Cavs must"run to compensate for height and take advantage of fast breaks."

O'Neill's roommate and high school teammate from lnterboro High School, Amy Hummel, also feels the team has the ability to repeat as PAC champions. Hummel, a 5'8" first-year student from Norwood, Pa., said

the Cavs have a lot of good shooters.

Also from Innerboro High School, Kristin Blanck, a 5'3" sophomore guard, said speed and talent will compensate for the Lady Cavs' lack of height. Another sophomore, 5'9" guard Karen Lawrence, is one returningplayerwho will add to the depth and experience of the Lady Cavs.

The Lady Cavs are no strangers to being a small, young team. This season, like last season, the Lady Cavs are starting three firstyear students. Welde said the team will rely on a strong press and running game, shooting in a lot of transition situations.

"We will shoot a lot of threes," Welde said. "Six or seven people have the green light when a three-point opportunity arises."

During practice sessions, the team emphasizes strong offensive fundamentals, since the players are a bit undersized, according to Welde.

Welde said returning players will have to lead this young team, and sophomore Dana Mills, a 5 16 11 guard from Cheltenham High School, "must be able to push the ball down the floor, be an extension of me."

Along with Mills, Carr also has a long list of duties if the Lady Cavs hope to bring home another PAC championship. "We need points from her." Welde said.

"The biggest problem," Mills said, "is our lack of height."

Mills feels the team has a lot of talent on the bench. Every player has high expectations.

Carr said, "There is a Jot of responsibility on our shoulders. Our second string's as good as our first, but each person is ready to step up when her time comes."

In order to stay in contention for the PAC Championships, the Lady Cavs will have to face the tough opposition of Alvernia and Jmmaculata Colleges.

The pieces are there. A band of 10 young, dedicated athletes, led by a notorious smallgang leader, will ttlrn on the lights Tuesday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. Fans will witness the hosting Lady Cavs battle long-time rival Allentown.

Sophomore Patti Carr pulls up for a jumper against /mmacu/ata in last year's PAC championship. Head coach Dan Welde is counting on Carr t~ help lead the Lady Cavs back to the championship this year. The home opener ts Dec. 7.

Coach'scorner: A lookat Dan Welde

Dan Welde,women's basketball coach.

by Regina Miller staff writer

Dan Welde, head coach of women's basketball, anticipates his 100th win this season. His overall record for the last seven years at Cabrini is 92-61. As a former Cabrini player and 1983 graduate, Welde is familiar with the college.

"We have the most talented team Cabrini has ever had, in the history of women's basketball," Welde said. "Tell the people of Cabrini to be patient in the beginning, because we will be fine at season's end."

Last year, Welde's goal was to have the first women's banner hung in the gym. He did. This year, he desires to make the NCAA tournament and to go into it as deep as possible.

Welde's coaching style is described as friendly, yet firm. "Danny is totally different than my high school coach," Patti Carr, a sophomore, said. "My whole attitude changed. once I came to Cabrini."

Dana Mills, also a sophomore, said, "As far as his coaching style, what he wants to get across is responsibility."

Speed and determination are two positive factors leading Cabrini's team to a future of success. "We practice everyday," Carr said, "and we run a lot. We are a quick team, and he wants us to get on the same pace."

Welde is a self-employed painter. He is married, without children. He coached at Harrinton High School until he was offered a position at Cabrini.

"Coach Dzik found me and was familiar with me," Welde said." The former coach had to leave due to an immediate shift change at work. I stepped in."

Welde said he loves coaching. His longterm goal is for a future in full-time coaching, with a full-time salary. "In women's basketball, they are really hiring a lot of women for coaching positions. It is hard for men to make position moves."

Three years ago, Welde coached at the Asian Youth Games. He was the head coach of the women's division. He held try-outs

and made cuts on the island, and he remembers how the press ripped him apart. He laughs as.he remembers being unable to read the print.

"We couldn't even read the newspaper," Welde said. "We had to get translators."

Welde acknowledged that supplying interviews is a part of his job. He discussed the problems ofrecruiting students to a Division III school. Welde actively seeks out recruits, along with Chip O'Neil and Amy Crossley, both assistant coaches.

"Remember, if someone does not get initial aid, they can not receive any monies for sports," Welde said. "Division III sports scholarships are based on aid."

Ultimate responsibility for the women's basketball future lies with Welde. Welde said he goes to as many games as possible in the surrounding counties. "I do the contacts face-to-face," Welde said, "for camps and scouting. I send them letters, get them tapes, get them to come to an open house and tour them around."

Welde gave credit to his two assistants. Crossley was a starter last year.

Players are encouraged to be leaders.

Karen Lawrence, a sophomore, said, "The assistants play an active role. Everybody shows interest. It's hard being a leader when you still feel so young."

"The oldest are sophomores," Carr said. "He wants us to step up and take control as leaders."

Leadership is an important theme for

Welde. He spoke about a player whom he admires.

"I have always been a big Magic Johnson fan," Welde said, "He always played to win, played hard, and he had a great deal of intelligence. I have always respected that in him."

Welde places importance on the mental game. He reiterates that the game is not simple, but more complicated than one thinks. His players get the message.

"Danny really stresses the concentration level," Mills said. "There is time for both fun and hard work. He always wants us to have a good time, to relax and enjoy ourselves. He is not a yeller.

When we do something wrong, he takes us aside without humiliating us. He uses the one-on-one approach. He constantly gives us great compliments."

Mills also acknowledges a contrast between her former high school coach and Welde. Mills said, "Danny just lets us enjoy. He knows it is not our whole life, but he also knows it is a very important part." Mills claims Welde's style is very different than the style that she experienced in high school.

Welde said he really enjoys basketball and coaching young people.

He said that, if he has a positive effect on his players, that is great. Welde admits to repeating the following line. "The only time that success is before work is in the dictionary."
