'We give 'til it hurts'

Communityser.;icebenefitsall involved

by Renee Rozniatoskl staff writer

Leah Mulioli wakes up on Sunday morning knowing she has a long week ahead of her. A part-time job turns this day of rest into one of work. When Monday comes, a fulltime job at Telephone Pioneers (AT&T) and community service projects begin the week.

On Wednesday, she makes her way to Cabrini for a night class. With the hustle and bustle of her busy week, her social life is put on hold.

Community service is more than a requirement to a Cabrini Organizational Management Program (COMP) student. It is a "life-long commitment," Dr. Valerie Ward Hollis, director of the COMP department, said. With classes, work, family and 10 hours of service, COMP students juggle responsibilities to complete their courses of study. Seminar 300 is a course required of all COMP students that mandates 10 hours of community service.

COMP student Mulioli is a prime example of a student with many activities to juggle. She works full-time at AT&T and has a part-time job, as well. In her spare time, Mulioli volunteers 225 hours each year with the Telephone Pioneers of America.

She authorized a program that helps deaf

and disabled people of the community by telecommunication devices. This project placed third in the J.C. Penney/National Organization on Disability Awards Program.

Mulioli said her many activities can be very stressful. Time management is necessary to balance her time.

Many COMP students are involved in community service projects prior to enrolling in Seminar 300. This course allows students, be they COMPstudents or students of junior status, to fulfill course requirements while helping others. The seminar also gives those students an opportunity to become active in things they find of personal interest.

COMP student Steve Hill participates in the marketing and finance committees of the Indian Creek Foundation. This organization deals with helping retarded adults. Hill assists in raising money for activities such as the Rock and Stroll, an annual carnival.

According to the continuing education news letter, "Hill feels that careful time management will permit students to do something for the common good."

Hollis said she feels many students really change after their service projects. One student, she recalled, spent a day with a drug and

-..II IViewpoint

Immigrants'dreams lead from 'Rags' to riches Today, America is referred to as the melting pot of the world. According to the composer of ''Rags," Charles Strouse, America was not the melting pot it had appeared to be. "Everyone fought to get out, and for sure it was the fighting that made all the sounds happen: rhythm you've never heard and you'll never hear again," Strouse said.

The spring theater production "Rags" centers around the immigration to America. Immigrants landed in New York on Ellis Island filled with hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow. But tomorrow never came for many of these people.

Mother Cabrini, for whom this college was named, lived among the immigrants with her order of missionary sisters. She saw the plight of these people and dedicated her life to helping them.

Mother Cabrini assisted them with food, jobs, housing, medical assistance and adaptation to American life. She did all of this, even when her own life was worse than those of the immigrants.

Many Cabrini students have parents or grandparents who experienced the same or similar plight of the immigrants Mother Cabrini sought to help. It was this connection, along with the spirit of Mother Cabrini, that brought "Rags" to our college. ' It is a moving and entertaining play that causes one to think about the hardships that many face when immigrating into this country.

The is not just a story, it is the history of our country, a history made up of the lives of parents and grandparents who took a chance and moved to a new land. A chance for us, whatever generation we may be, to have the opportunities and life they dreamed about. "Rags" is our story.

IUQS and Downs

The opening of the spring production "Rags" was sold-out on April 8, and people had to be turned away. But, have no fear, audience members learned their lesson and attended earlier the next night, to enjoy the performance.

This semester's blood drive had a lot of people willing to give their blood away for juice and donuts. Seriously, thanks to everyone who participated with the event. They just may have saved someone's life.

~

The senior challange was a good idea and beneficial to the development to Cabrini for future years. Also, the beer helped to wash down those "great" finger foods.

Spring cleaning is a chore most people detest, but the men in Casey House took advantage of this ritual and dumped all their trash in the front yard. Some items that can be found scattered around are beer cans, a broken chair and even a crutch. Did you guys ever hear of trash cans?

The perils of the magnificent seven and their posse Heather McAllister, ·editor in chief

It's not often that I'm struck speechless.

I don't like uncomfortable silences, so I try my best to cover them. At times, what I'm saying may not make much sense, but at least I can babble and fill the empty spaces with words.

Here was a situation I wasn't handling well. I just dido 't know what to say. I think I've dealt with unpleasantness before, but this was different.

It was time to announce the new editors for next year, and I was having an anxiety attack.

I figured a year-end pep talk would be appropriate. So what did I say? To my board"U m, thank you." To the new board- "I wish you all the best of luck."

That's all I could come up with? Aren't I supposed to be a writer, or something? I couldn't think of anything better?

What could I possibly say to the six people who have meant the most to me this year? "Thank you" seemed so inadequate, but it was like my thoughts shut off automatically. My mind blanked out, and I couldn't breathe.

The year is dwindling down, and I have mixed emotions about ending my time as editor in chief. On the one hand, I'm thrilled that the end is near. I can't wait to get my life back, to just be "Heather," instead of always being associated with the paper.

I look forward to being able to have normal conversations with people again, without them looking at me twice, trying to figure out if I'm pumping them for information to be printed in the paper.

I hope to be able to go to the bathroom in the Widener Center without someone questioning me, from the next stall, about a story.

I can try to be a good student again who gets enough sleep, actually in a bed and not on the sofa outside student development.

No more sofa burns on my face! I'm almost done!

But that~s not the full story. I wouldn't trade my time as an editor for anything in the world. I've learned more this year than from any other. Most importantly, I've learned to be a team player in a high pressure sport, and my teammates have made all the difference.

What I wanted to say to the six other editors is that I could not have maintained my sanity, during the most difficult year of my life, without their support.

I am not the same person I was in September, as a result of different situations that were out of my control, but somehow the editors put up with a new-and-unimproved me.

I don't think any of the editors realized the magnitude of the jobs we were attempting until we advanced into the heart of the year, but we hung together, despite our countless arguments.

Even though some of us hated one another, at times, and lots of people hated the board as a whole, we managed to block it all out and keep going. And going and going, through what felt like thousands of snowstorms and school closings .

But sometimes people liked us, and, more

often than not, we had fun with one another.

I didn't get a gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach anymore, when I walked into the newsroom. Instead, I felt like a character on "Cheers," as everyone called out my name.

Some people might think it's scary that I felt more comfortable there than practically anywhere else on campus, but it's true. I knew as soon as I walked in the newsroom, at least one friend would be waiting there, and I could vent my emotions to my heart's content.

Sometimes, I even managed to get a little work done. However, maintaining the rapport with the other editors and trying my best to keep us focused and sane was my main goal. I attempted to get rid of the black cloud that hovered over the newsroom, while putting out a quality newspaper, and not a yearbook, every week.

So I wasn't a perfect editor. So I made mistakes. I'm proud of the past year of Loquitur because I made six close friends who shared my life and truly cared about whether I was traveling across a peak or a valley. I will treasure our distinctly unique relationship as a board.

I do wish the new board the best of luck and friendships for the upcoming year. I am confident the new editors will take Loquitur to the next level and be able to soar, through the power of their group.

Six special friends gave me my wings this year. They taught me well. I can only hope I won't forget how to fly without their guidance.

DiningOut

by Jane S. Van lngen assist. managing & perspectives editor

Walk into the brightly lit Friendly's, a place always filled with chatter and good food. There are many Friendly's restaurants across the country, but the one closest to Cabrini is in the King of Prussia Mall Plaza.

Friendly's is not just another ice cream parlor. It also has a breakfast menu for early birds who want to enjoy eggs, pancakes, coffee or waffles.

For lunch and dinner, Friendly's has a menu for seniors and kids, so it is not surprising that kids and the 65+ crowd are regulars. The menu includes soups and features salads, such as seafood, chicken, oriental and tuna.

A great appetizer to get is chicken and cheese quesadillas. The two can be or-

FEATURES taste to them.

The meal was just the right amount, but it left just enough room for those who want to go on to ice cream.

Ice cream and shakes are, of course, what Friendly's is known for. You can take out ice cream from within the restaurant, and there also is a take-out stand adjacent to the eating area.

The shakes are called fribbles and have the usual flavors. Friendly's also offers rich, smooth ice cream sodas and floats.

The sundaes are not for the weak-minded.

They invite you to go all out and indulge yourself. They have interesting flavors, like toasted almond fudge, black raspberries and maple walnut. They also have frozen yogurt, for those who wish to be somewhat good.

You can mix and match toppings and sauces. Options include gummy bears with peanut butter sauce, brownies with strawberry or heath bar with hot fudge.

I originally ordered a deep dish apple sundae. Vanilla ice cream, topped with crunchy apples smothered in a rich, piping hot apple sauce, was just what I had in mind.

Unfortunately, the restaurant ran out of this choice, so I went with second best.

I got a happy ending sundae, with cookies and cream ice cream and hot fudge. It comes with girl scouts' thin mint cookies, which make it the perfect little ending to a meal.

When my sundae came, I was a little disappointed, because it dido 't come with the

cookie. But it came with a mandarin cherry, which is almost as good.

The hot fudge was not piping hot, but it also was not sticky, as it is in some places. It is rich, creamy and smooth, just as it should be. The ice cream is creamy, chunky and scrumptious, and it does not have hard, icy spots. The whipped cream is light and airy and goes well with the other items in the sundae. The happy ending sundaes are a great snack and a great way to end a meal.

The special sundae includes a huge, five-scoop serving of ice cream with a choice of toppings. Other ice cream selections include the brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough, M&M, heath bar crunch, Reeces pieces, Recees peanut butter cups and snickers sundaes.

Friendly's is a good place to relax after school or work, to chat with a few friends or to have some time alone. It also is a good place to go with the kids. The service usually is slow, and that is the only thing I don't like about the chain. However, when I went, my burger came within 10 minutes. In general, it is not the place to dine when you are in a rush.

occupies the front yard of the address, saluting all those who pass by.

"It brings so much happiness to people," Parkie Wederbrand, owner of the dog, said.

What makes this dog different from any other is the fact that it is made out of quarterinch broiler plate steel. The little dog may be strong and sturdy now, but it did not start out that way.

Before the Wederbrand family moved to

King of Prussia Road, they had a wooden dog that they put on the lawn for others to see.

"I chose not to dress the dog before we moved to King of Prussia Road, in fear that the clothes would be ripped off," Wederbrand said.

Though the dog was appreciated by some, others saw fit to ruin what made others happy.

Some kids took it upon themselves to dig the wooden dog out of the ground and break it in half.

After breaking the statue, the kids dragged half of it away and left the other half in the yard.

Upset that her dog was gone, Wederbrand put up signs informing others about the mistreatment of her wooden basset hound. She said the signs carried the messages, "Somebody broke my dog" and "Somebody stole my dog."

The signs upset a lot of people who had enjoyed the dog. The Suburban Times saw fit to cover the unfortunate incident.

The signs also encouraged a mechanical engineer, who offered to make the dog of quarter-inch broiler plate steel, which is the dog that many people see today.

"That sucker is not going anywhere," W ederbrand said.

Aside from the dog being heavy to carry, it also is placed on a steel pole and sits safely in cement.

Now on King of Prussia Road, Wederbrand feels very safe dressing her dog

in different outfits.

After 10 years of dressing her dog, Wederbrand has accumulated a bureau of about 50 outfits.

"I dress the dog seasonally or if anything is happening in the nation," she said. "If there is a hurricane or a flood, I would dress the dog in Red Cross clothing. ,.When Clinton was elected, I threw a black sheet over the dog.

"It is a Republican."

"We dress it in our favorite team oufits when they are playing," Robert Wederbrand, the other owner of the dog, said.

The Eagles, the Phillies and the Flyers are some of the team outfits. The dog also is dressed in a wedding gown and a bouquet when their children get married. Red, white and blue is worn around election time.

On Halloween, the dog was a cow, and recently, on Easter, the dog was in the disguise of the Easter Bunny.

Most of the outfits are bought in the children's department. Others have been donated by those who really enjoy what the dog brings to the community.

Described as a landmark by the Philadelphia Inquirer, the dog gets a lot of attention.

People who pass the statue everyday make a point to visit with the Wederbrands and write letters, as well.

"So many people write letters and tell me the dog brings smiles to their faces," Mrs. Wederbrand said.

The burger was well-cooked, which is good, considering the waiter forgot to ask me how I wanted it.

'Rags' sweep the Grace Hall Atrium

by Heather McAllister editor in chief

One basic tenet of musical theater is that the casting and the groundplan can kill any production. Without suitably selected actors and a imaginative plateau for them to create their magic, even the most finely crafted play will fail.

This is not a problem for the Cabrini theater production of "Rags," running this weekend and next in the Grace Hall Atrium.

The casting endows the musical with the ability to fly, while the groundplan helps evoke the very immigrant spirit upon which Cabrini College was founded.

"Rags" is the most ambitious endeavor ever attempted by Cabrini's theater department, and the actors, for the most part, ably carry the weight of the production on their shoulders. "Rags" is the story of a Jewish immigrant, Rebecca Hershkowitz, and the trials she encounters when she arrives at Ellis Island with her young boy, David, in search of her husband, who has preceded them into the country. Rebecca's every scene is truly magical, because of the vibrancy of her portrayer, Denise Whelan, a continuing education student.

Whelan's lark-like voice soars with each of Charles Strouse's difficult songs, especially the haunting ballad, "Children of the Wind." Rebecca's objectives always remain clear as she strives for safety, and Whelan maintains emotional control of every scene.

She sews the stitches that tie together the piecework of the "Rags" production.

While the romantic connection between Rebecca and union leader Saul, portrayed by senior Dann Trotter, is not altogether believable, two intricate songs performed by the pair definitely click. The mechanics and tricky lyrics of "Easy for You" are anything but easy to perfect, while the tableau staged during the moving love song, "Wanting," is breathtaking.

Another picturesque tableau is achieved when Saul teaches David to read English, as Rebecca proclaims one of the musical's recurring themes, "Now It Belongs to You." This theme and the "Children of the Wind" melody are carried throughout the musical and provide a sense of unity in the plot.

Another pair of actors steps to the forefront of "Rags" with their raw energy and intensity. They are sophomore Katina Corrao, who portrays Rebecca's friend Bella, and junior Doug Eppler, who brings to life Bella's true love, cigar seller-turned-gramaphone expert Ben. The two simply light up the stage, and their love for each other is completely believable.

Corrao and Eppler avoid turning Bella's and Ben's naivete into trite characterizations, and the musical talents of both actors help lift the show. Corrao achieves a vocal balance with the powerful Whelan in the opening piece,"If We'd Ever Meet Again," andcarriesthefirstact'sfinalnumber, "Rags," with great aplomb.

Eppler's booming tenorresounds throughout the atrium whenever he opens his mouth.

"The Sound of Love" is a treat, because it provides a zesty show-stopper that showcases both Eppler's considerable range and an enthusiastic ensemble cast.

While the ensemble members appear to be enjoying themselves during "The Sound of Love," throughout the play energy levels are inconsistent and mismatched. The entire cast does not possess a common denominator of intensity. Reduced rehearsal time, due to the inclement weather of past weeks, surely

Continuing education student Denise Whelan (Rebecca), Sophomore Katina Corrao (Bella), John Blackington (David) and Junior Doug Eppler (Ben) listen to the newly developed gramaphone. can account for this lack of evenness, evident in the songs that include the full cast.

One exception to the unfocused ensemble is John Lindsay, a first-year student. Lindsay fulfills nine different roles throughout the production, and his version of Hamlet is simply hilarious. Perhaps more importantly, his concentration levels do not alter, whether he is portraying a street urchin, waiter or dancer. Lindsay is a model for consistency.

Another consistent player is Robert Meenan's Avram, Bella's overprotective father. Meenan's choices, as he fluctuates among stern, loving and humorous characteristics, are clear-cut and conducive to the character, while his repartee with Gabrielle Beres' Rachel is hilarious. "Three Sunny Rooms" is one of the most tightly tuned numbers in the musical, because Avram and Rachel progress toward each other as a result of a series of basic choices. Never do the characters overstep logical boundaries or utter flirtations that could be deemed unsuitable for their characters.

Just as the actors' decisions, in fleshing out their roles, must be suitable for their characters, so too must the groundplan be appropriate for the fabric of the musical itself. The basic groundplan of "Rags" is a series of risers cramped together, with two large murals of immigrant scenes framing the stage on either side. While many set designs allow characters to own a particular part of the stage, this type of groundplan is not implemented in "Rags."

Since immigrants own nothing, the characters in "Rags" own no particular part of the stage. Although many of Rebecca's scenes take place in a tenement bedroom, the rest of the crowded stage is utilized as a living room, roof, marketplace, factory and various other locales. A sense of chaos and tight living quarters results from the groundplan. This enables the audience to catch a glimpse of immigrant life on the East Side of New York City.

The groundplan is unique to the plot of "Rags'' and could not be utilized automatically for just any musical. While it does not

encourage improvisation or aid the audience's focus, the groundplan of"Rags" does accommodate the musical's action, create atmosphere and provide excitement.

Much of the excitement of "Rags" results from Strouse 's intricate melodies, combined with the complex lyrics of Stephen Schwartz.

The artists did not create a musical that fits the traditional Rodgers and Hammerstein mode. Instead, they combined jazz and European influences for a unique sound that only can be described as "American."

The cynical song "What's Wrong With That" is a perfect example of how Schwartz's lyrics fit the typical Stephen Sondheim criteria. The simple selection of the word "that" enabled Schwartz to create an elegant rhyme of dozens of words. While the lyrics are carefully patterned, they are basic enough that the audience can understand what the singers are saying.

While the music uplifts "Rags," there are

flaws in Joseph Stein's book. The fate of Bella in act two is anti-climactic and does not allow the audience to experience a catharsis with this important character. Also, deciding to have a character narrate the action, as David does in "Rags," is the easy way out for a playwright to advance the action, instead of incorporating transitions into the musical.

However, overall "Rags" is a solid musical, because it concentrates on plot and characterizations, in the attempt to involve the audience emotionally with the immigrant experience. While the set enhances the plot, the strongest attribute of this "Rags" production is the mostly top-notch quality of acting.

Cabrini is fortunate that these children of the wind blew into the atrium for a brief visit.

Hopefully the impact of "Rags" wiU remain after the final performance on April 23. As the immigrants themselves state, "Sometimes we don't love things 'til we tell them goodbye."

The Paper 1ddt Directed by: Ron Howard Rated: R Cast of Characters: Michael Keaton-- Henry Hackett Robert Duvall-- Bernie White Glenn Close-- Alicia Clark Marisa Tomei-- Marty Hackett

"The Paper" deals extensively with the juxtaposition of image and substance, but it does so at such a fast pace and with so much entertainment that you hardly notice you are getting a lesson in morality.

Ron Howard's latest film covers one day in the life of Henry Hackett (Michael Keaton), the metro editor at a New York City tabloid.

The driving element of the plot is his paper's race to get the scoop on a murder investigation before their higher-brow competitors.

The family relationships of the paper's employees are a subplot, and the characters treat their family life like it is a subplot in their lives.

Journalistic integrity is a major issue in the film. Hackett glosses over a moral decision he should have made about using information obtained under questionable circumstances. He fights a major battle with fellow editor Alicia Clark (Glenn Close), which becomes a battle she ultimately must fight with herself.

The battle between Hackett and Clark,

U

over how the paper should operate, is rather simplistic. It could have been presented with a few flecks of gray, but Howard presented it in stark black and white.

The battle within Clark is more subtle.

She has been promoted to managing editor and is very concerned that her outward image reflect her change in status. She has to deal with the fact that she is just one rung further up the ladder, not hobnobbing with the bigwigs like she would like. In an attempt to fit in at a higher rung, she runs the risk of abandoning the values that got her there in the first place. Each of the main characters has an analogous struggle. Hackett works non-stop and is trying not to deal with his wife's demand for more of his time.

His wife (Marisa Tomei) is on the verge of having her first child. She is worried that she will become a bitter drop-out from the world of work, where she used to play a vital role, and that she will be isolated because her husband is dedicated to work rather than his family.

The paper's editor in chief (Robert Duvall) has been around longer than the others. He apparently has made the mistakes he now warns others to avoid. His family life is seriously whacked, and just to drive home to us that this is a big deal, he is seriously ill. In theory, he could die before everything turns out OK. Well, no comment on what does or does not come out OK. The performances are all excellent.

Howard does a great job on the pacing. And, more importantly, Howard slips us a message over and over: do the right thing - but do not make the mistake of thinking that what looks like the right thing necessarily is the right thing.

Seminar 300 students participate in a variety of projects. Some choose to work with literacy, mental disorders, children, poverty and diseases.

Most continue their work after completion of the class.

Mulioli said, "It definitely gives you a good taste of what community service can be like and how satisfying it can be."

In August 1993, the first 23 COMP graduates received surveys. Twelve surveys were returned. Eleven females and one male responded.

The survey asked the graduates how COMP aided their professional and personal growth in 12 areas.

According to the continuing education newsletter, the results were as follows: "One received a promotion with a salary increase. One received a salary increase along with a bonus, commendation and a new career option. Two made career changes. One obtained a change of position within her company. Two received recommendation from their employers. One was permitted to participate in a career rotation program. Two were able to bid on salaried/exempt positions.

One applied and got accepted into a

Mulioli said she feels the COMP program serves a definite purpose.

"It is a way to complete your degree if you have a job or even if you are past your college years. It serves a definite purpose in adult education " Mulioli said. ' Three COMP students received scholastic recognition for academic honors and professional achievement.

The students are Jovanna Bevilacqua, Corinne Bradley and Jim Brady.

Bevilacqua was honored with second prize by the Greater Delaware Valley Human Resource Association.

She received the Student Merit Award Scholarship for a two-page essay, describing the characteristics and skills that a person will need in the workforce during the decade.

Bradley received the Community College of Philadelphia Scholarship for Academic Excellence. Along with an essay about her life goals, she presented a straight-A average.

A Holocaust survivor who escaped death during World War II will speak at Cabrini on Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m.

Sol Urbach, one of the Jewish people saved by Oskar Schindler, was invited to speak by Margo R. Bare, assistant professor of social work. Bare describes her detective work.

"I read an article in the Inquirer about him recently, and so I tracked Sol Urbach down," Bare said. "I looked up all the information numbers in New Jersey, and I called him at his house. I was one of the first to call." Bare compares her search technique to that of a bloodhound.

Shortly thereafter, Urbach appeared on "Phil Donahue" and "Good Morning America."

"I recently read an article discussing the fact that some people thought it possible that the Holocaust did not happen," Bare said. "A lot of camp survivors are dying, and the question is, who will be there to remind us of it, and will it become a footnote in history?" Bare said. "If it becomes a footnote, do we keep repeating ourselves?"

Urbach relives those horrific war crimes every day. He reveals his stories through his speeches, and celebrates his Judaism in different ways.

He is the Chairman of the Israel Bond Committee for Hunterdon County in New Jersey. He traveled to Israel as a Prime Minister Club Member and is on the Holocaust and Genocide Studies panel at Sommerset-Hunterdon Counties College.

Urbach joins others in the plight to educate youth.

One of this year's Academy Award winners, Stephen Spielberg, proudly accepted his award for the movie "Schindler's List." At the Oscars, he encouraged the viewing audience to continue to educate the succeeding generations about the Holocaust in World War II. Bare agrees with Spielberg.

Urbach said he dismisses the critics who say Spielberg failed to make memorable characters of the Jews in the film.

"We were useless," Urbach said. "It did not matter who you were. There was nobody there to Iisten .... He was able to capture this."

Urbach unites with Spielberg, and other sensitive educators and artists in their goals to ensure the memory of ~he major atrocity of the 20th century and to promote the prevention of future genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Bare speaks about the founders of Cabrini College and their mission statement. The statement incorporates the issue of diversity. Bare said it is very impressive that Cabrini so readily accepts difference.

Sol Urbach, Holocaust speaker

She encourages everyone in the community to take advantage of the speech.

Public relations contacted surrounding neighborhood synagogues, churches and newspapers. ·Ina recent Philadelphia Inquirer article, Urbach said he believes his family was killed during the massacre in the Krakow ghetto in March 1943. He was told that his brother was shot.

Urbach's plight began when he was a teen-ager in an apartment he shared with his family outside of Krakow. Between 1939 to 1945, he spent his years either hiding out in the ghetto, formed by the German soldiers, or working in Schindler's factories.

One day, Urbach was found and chosen to go to the factory outside Krakow.

That day, Schindler picked Urbach and another out of a line-up of 100 men.

Urbach worked for Schindler in his factory as a carpenter.

Urbach told the Inquirer it was in that factory where he saw Schindler's transformation from a war profiteer to a man with a conscience. He said he became a hero belatedly, but nevertheless, he was a hero. Schindler died in Israel in 1974.

Urbach, 67, is touring the country telling his story. He lives in Flemington, N.J., with his wife, Ada, also a Holocaust survivor. Urbach was not as fortunate as Ada Urbach, because her entire family lived. Urbach lost his parents and four siblings.

"He basically asked me what I wanted," Bare said, "and I asked him to express how real his experience was compared to the movie, and apparently he said that it was pretty accurate."

Urbach, a husband, father of three and grandfather of five, knows how tightly some people cling to their prejudices .

He was a victim of that mentality.

Grassroots group 'really cleans up' on Earth Day

by Brian Slatkowskl assistant sports editor

Within the essence of spring lies life. The grass is growing, flowers are blooming and the birds are chirping. Yet, some things from winter still remain.

Trash.

Earth Day is coming to the rescue. On April 22, Earth Day will be celebrated throughout the nation.

The Grassroots campaign will touch up Cabrini's campus once again. For the third time in three years, Karen Berlant, director of public relations, is heading up the Grassroots campaign. The campaign is geared towards marketing Earth Day, according to Berlant, and also to help the campus in general.

Faculty, staff and students will break out their work clothes and take to the cleaning and replanting the land. "Every little bit helps," Berlant said. "For students who have only a few minutes, they can pick up a trashbag and take a walk around the campus."

Projects in the past have included the picked up by teams. Teams are made up of creation of the Peace Garden and the restora- various offices, departments, student clubs tion of the Sunken Garden that has now been or anyone interested who would like to assist replaced by the Grace Hall parking lot.

Last week in the world of spOrts Tap in

by Sheila Brady assistant features editor

ONHL On Thursday, April 7, the Philadelphia Flyers tied against the Florida Panthers, 3-3. This was an upset, because the team needed a victory to keep the chances of a playoff birth alive.

To make matters even worse, the Flyers lost on Sunday, April 8, to the Boston Bruins, 4-3. This will assure the Flyers of their fifth season in a row in which they will not compete in the playoffs.

The loss is said to be the result of a divided team.

Some players fingerpointed, saying many of the other players on the team only cared about their own individual statistics, rather than the whole team's success.

When the games meant nothing to the team, the Flyers finally won. They defeated the Devils 4-2 behind two goals and an assist from Mark Recchi, and a goal from Rod Brind'amour. Goaltender Dominicv Roussel, who had sat behind woeful Tommy Soderstrtom in the stretch drive, played really well in the nets for the Flyers. Why he was not playing during the end of the season, I do not know.

All 62,000 pairs of eyes were on firstbaseman John Kruk on Monda-y, April 11. It was his first come-back game at home since his well-publicized fight with testicular cancer. Kruk was the clear hero of the game with his three hits, under extraordinary circumstances.

Despite his performance, the Phillies lost against the Colorado Rockies 8- 7.

0 Golf On Thursday, April 7, the Augusta National Golf Club held the opening round of the Masters. Larry Mize, winner of the 1987 Masters, led with a 4under-par 68. Not far behind him were Tom Kite and Fulton Allen. There was a winning list of clearly experienced players.

On Saturday, April 9, Tom Lehman led the Masters, with a lead on Jose Maria Olazabal. However, the outcome of the Masters proved Olazabal as the champion. It was his first major title.

He carded a 3-under-par 69 to complete 72 holes with a score of 9-under 279. He also became the sixth European player in the last seven years to win.

out of 25 games while he has been gone.

Needless to say, the team is happy to see him return, with high hopes for next season.

The Sixers went on to beat the New York Knicks 100-97, on Friday, April 8.

This shocked the Knicks, because the Sixers were the underdogs.

The team resented this role and persevered for another win. However, the Sixers were beaten by the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday, April 9, at 127-122.

On Sunday, April 10, 60 of the area's best high school teams' seniors went to St. Joseph's University for the All-Star Labor Classic.

0 Baseball The Philadelphia Phillies had their first defeat on April 8, at Riverfront Stadium against the Cincinnati Reds.

The final score was 5-4 in the 10th inning. The team pulled up after a 4-0 beginning. However, it did not pull up enough to win the game.

The Phillies' second loss to the Reds was on Saturday, April 10. They lost 21, with a one-run home run effort by Pete Incaviglia.

Sophomore Jennifer Wunsch fires the ball in during a sweep of Neumann.

Two outs in the last inning. Man on third, and it is a tie game. You 're up, it is intramural softball and your team is watching, with the anticipation of an heir reading a will.

You have polished up your batting skills and dusted off your glove. The guy on third, with black lines under his eyes to dull the rays of the late afternoon sun, is smacking his hand in his mitt, while you dig into the plate.

Be serious.

O.K, around $400 will be given to the winning team, and the prior situation isnow the championship game.

Junior Joe Opeila, vice president of the sttudent government association (SGA), organized and is maintaining this year's intramural softball season.

"All the players on every team paid three bucks," Opeila said, "and whoever wins the playoffs will either get all of the money or 85 percent of the money, depending on if we decide to give the losing team 15 percent or not."

The intramural softball league has two divisions. The Eastern division has five teams. The team to beat in that division will be the Bonner Boys, according to Opeila. The other four teams are the Born Again Virgins, CumQuats, Reuter's Raiders and Lindsey's Leaders.

The Western division is one team shy of the East, yet, according to Opeila, is the more competitive division. The Western division includes the Apostles, the Fugitives, Kegs-NLegs and the Tool Boxes.

The Apostles, according to Opeila (a team member), are rwide up of players who played on the last two championship teams.

Mostlikely, the teams will play twice against the teams in their own division and once against

the teams in the other division.

"This is the first time ever in the history of intramural softball," Opeila said, "that we have ever had a team of commuters. It worked out good."

Kegs-N-Legs is the commuter team that made history. The question raised now is whether or not they will make the playoffs.

Opeila said the reason that he agreed to take over running the league was because he played last year and wanted it to be run better this year.

Several changes have been initiated to motivate people into playing. Rosters were made up, and Opeila went up to people and personally asked them if they would play. He also visited each house and found teams for those players who did not have enough people to form their own.

Money was spent. About$100wasspenton equipment for the softball league. Softballs, new bats and bases were bought with the money.

Most of the umpires are work grant students, to make sure they are getting compensated for their time.

Opeila said he expanded the rosters to get more women involved in the league.

The games do not have unchangable schedules. Opeila meets with the two teams and makes sure they both are able to come up with the minimum amount of players to field a team.

Only three games have been played. The Fugitives beat up on the Cum Quats, 10-5.

The Bonner Boys slid by the ToolBoxes by one run, 3-2, and Reuter's Raiders felt the wrath of the Apostles, in a 14-3 beating.

Whether you win or lose does not matter.

According to Opiella, who compared volleyball with softball, "Volleyball is good, but in softball, there are 20 to 30 people out on a field, and it becomes a big social event. People have fun ...That's what is the most important thing."
