Rape seizes another victim

As graduation approaches, most seniors have beaches and partying on

their minds. Still, others are left wondering whether they'll ever find that perfect job. In one way or another, every memberof the class of '94 is anxious, nervous and swimming in the sea of uncertainty.

These same individuals are the ones who carried out roles of leadership, volunteered, and initiated new organizations and programs. SGA was an acti.ve voice that did make a difference, Project Literacy took off in full force, and interest and involvement in Project Appalachia was so high that it set records. These are just a few examples of how the senior class has set a strong foundation for other classes to build upon.

These foundations go further than Cabrini, they go as far as each and every individual. The memories and laughs may fade with time, but the skills . and values will continue to grow throughout the years.

Of course there will be disillusions and frustrations down the road.

Especially considering the economy and the fierce competition within every job market out there. But sometimes its necessary to settle for that entry level 'gopher'position before the perks begin to settle in. Everyone has to do it, it's all about ladders and steps. It's all aboµt getting out, but getting in as well. It's almost like college, we all start off as first-year students, then we mold with our interests and skills, and try to become unique individuals on the way.

No one knows for sure where they will ultimately end up. However, the experience and involvement along each step of the way will eventually produce rewards of guidance and direction that can be reflected back to Cabrini.

Heather McAllister, editorin chief

Theidea of rape occurringon Cabrini's campus is a frighteningone. Many feel Cabrini is a haven from the chaosof the world lying beyond the trees, a place where studentscan"stand out from the crowd."

At least,I believedall this. That is, until I was raped.

It happenedon Dec.4, afterthe formal.Some peoplemayrememberthosesecuritybulletinsthat circulatedaroundcampus.Yes, they were about me.

Thatnight,oneofmyroommate'sfriends,who I had not met until the formal, was to stay in our room,providedhe slepton the floor.

Most of all, it is scary to admit the intense hatred I have for Pat. I do not want to face him in the courtroom. I wish he were dead, since he succeeded in killing my soul by pouncing on my bed.

I'------------------------------------------------------=------' Upsand Downs I :~~=:"'"..==~ Yes, the widespread rumor about the fall semester beginning earlier than what has traditionally been the norm is true. It's unfortunate that the students have not received proper notice of this change in the scheme of things. Especially for those who plan vacations at this time, or work full-time during the summer.

~

The mansion tour last Sunday was a nice idea. It was also a great way for the college to gain more publicity, and generate more funds for the mansion's restoration project.

Resident students are still waiting for an explanation concerning the trash removal bills that they had received in their mailboxes a few weeks ago. The majority of students believed that this service was included in their tuition bills. What made this particular trash disposal so unique, so costly?

It is nice to see campus ministry, administration, faculty and students showing support for other members of the campus community during troublesome times.

,___I O___ Q_in_io_n ___________: ---JI I Letters Senior reflects back on cqllege years before 'signing off'

SGA actively seeking interested students

Graduates neglected on Cabrini's agenda

To the editor:

In three weeks it will be over. The four years of papers, presentations, projects, quizzes, tests, exams, late nights, little sleep and poor nutrition, :will all be over. We will be roasting in the sun in our black robes on the lawn of the mansion, listening to our guest speaker (who many of us never even heard ot) and wonder how the time went by so fast.

Our parents will look on with pride as·we walk in front of our classmates one last time to receive our diplomas. The cameras will click and people will applaud. We will hug and cry and say our good-byes. God, how I hate good-byes. They always seem so permanent and final.

In the past four years, we, the class of 1994, have grown up together. I'm not saying that we have fully matured. Who wants to? But we have grown.

We came in as naive freshmen ... (That's right, freshmen. There was none of this ridiculous political correctness, like calling freshmen first-year students.) To continue, we came in as n.;tiveteen-agers, but we are leaving as educated, open-eyed adults.

We have spent four years getting to know one another.

We have gotten used to living together, talking in the cafeteria as we tried to hold down our dinners, cramming for exams together and enjoying nights out at the Tavern or out at Smokes. Now, it's all drawing to an end.

Although I look forward to graduating and beginning a new career in radio, I regret that my journey at Cabrini must come to its end. As I venture off of these 112 rolling acres and into the world that awaits me, I will take Cabrini with me. I will hold dearly the memories, the smiles, the laughs and the friends I have had while being here.

So in three weeks we will share some hugs, cries and good-byes. We will pack our things up and go our separate ways, but before I go, I would like to take the time to say thanks to the people who made my stay at Cabrini a memorable on<.,

Scott Dorsey: "Hawk," thanks for your guidance and support this year. On many occasions you have helped me keep my limited sanity. Everyone should be lucky enough to have an RD like you. You have become a good friend and you will qe greatly missed.

The Communications department, especially Carter, Dr. Z, Frank Hogan and Jim Catrambone: Thank you for working with me and helping to prepare me for what I love, radio.

Fr. Ambrose: Father, you are everything a chaplain should be. You are there to listen and guide. Cabrini College is fortunate to have you. By the way, please get my grades in for our Friday class or I won't be able to graduate.

House One: "Animal House" is a term you were labeled with, one which you did not deserve. It's pretty hard to have fun when you start off the year with a reputation. Once again, a reputation you did not deserve. But you all survived. To call you unique would not be an exaggeration. I have never seen a group of guys drink as much, bust on each other as much, or.walk around naked as much as I did while living with you. You are not animals, you are just people who like to have fun.

So many times people have asked me, "How can you stand living in House One?" It's easy, whether I was the RA or a resident, I would have been there anyway. It was an eventful year and one I will never forget. I am glad I got to know you all better, and I appreciate the respect you all showed me throughout the year. There will only be one 'House One' in a lifetime. What other house do you know of that would host a "crossdressing" party? To all of you in the house, I have one thing to say, "Consider it!"

Bud Mellon and the WYBF Staff: You have dedicated many hours to better the station. This year was the year that WYBF finally moved forward. Thanks for your dedication.

Bud, it's been an adventure working with you. Be.stofluck and Ilook forward to seeing you at your induction ceremony into the "Intramural Softball Hall of Fame."

Sam V, my maUroomfriend: One thing you have taught me is that it costs nothing, or takes no effort to smile and say hello, regardless of how your day is going. Thanks for that important lesson, it makes all the difference.

As you may know, the elections for the new Student Government Association Executive Board were going on for the past few weeks. Qualified students (according to the current constitution) were asked to submit their platforms to Joe Opiela, vice president of the executive board.

To be "qualified," as currently stated in the SGA Constitution, means that in order to run for most executive board positions, a student must have at least one semester of SGA experience. Due to the dwindling interest· and lack of "qualified" students, according to our constitution, only !WO platforms were submitted. Without the students' support, there can be no SGA. Therefore, the SGA Executive Board will officially disband at the end of May 1994. It will not, however, come to a complete end.

The two remaining officers, Amy Loesche and Joe Opiela, have volunteered to spearhead a committee of students willing to rebuild SGA. We want SGA to be an active organization and one that works for the students on student issues.

If you were active in your high school SGA or have wanted to get involved at Cabrini, now is the time to do so! We need students who are interested in making Cabrini a better place. SGA is more than just social events and charity fund raisers. It is the organization that is the voice of the student body.

The committee will work this summer and into the fall, redefining the role of SGA and rewriting the current constitution. If you are interested, please give your name and summer address to Marianne DeFruscio, director of student activities (ext. 8407).

Sincerely, Tricia Daley SGA Executive Board President 1993-94

Dr. Iadarola,the Boardof Trustees and the rest of the Administration: Thanks for working to provide us with a well-rounded education and the facilities to enjoy learning.

As you work to make this college bigger and better, remember it's the students that make the college. Without the students, you would not be here.

My close friends (you know who you are): Thanks for four great years. Thanks for all the good times and making the bad times bearable. I know we will keep in touch. By the way Psycho, I don't think you're crazy, just a little misunderstood.

Steph: Thanks for stickingby me throughout the tough times this year. Thanks also for encouraging me to be me. The best things happen when you least expect them to, and that's what happened with us. You are the best!

I have one thing to say to a group of girls here at Cabrini. These are the girls who constantly put down the "typical Cabrini male."

To these girls: You say we drink a lot, hook up a lot and gossip a lot. Except for hormonal and anatomical differences, what makes you any different from us?

To the class of 1994, I wish you all the best of luck. May we all take what we have learned here and chase after our dreams.

Without dreams and goals, there is no hope for success. It's time to leave Cabrini and begin our quest for our dreams and success.

CathyCaulfi.eldandBob: Thanksforgiving Once again, best of luck, and because I hate me a chance to reform myself into a leader and good-byes, "You will always be with me and make a differenceby workingwith the residents. until we meet again ..."

To theeditor: I amwritinga messageto ourcollegecommunity.IfyougraduateinDecember,BEWARE! Our collegewill treatyou as a personanon grata.

Senior athlete, field hockey team not recognized To the editor: In last week's issue of the Loquitur, there were three articles that focused on senior athletes. Many seniors were mentioned along with their accomplishments while attending Cabrini, and playing for the sports teams. In the three articles that were written, all of the sports teams that proudly represent Cabrini and the seniors from each of these teams, were mentioned. AU of the sports teams except field hockey. Not only was Kerri Brambilla the only senior on the field hockey team, but she was the only goalie and cocaptain as well.

I understand that the Loquitur could not possibly write an article on every senior athlete, but at least be fair and recognize every sport. If Cabrini is saying farewell to senior athletes, all of the seniors should be mentioned or listed.

Every senior athlete was dedicated to the team they played for, and gave a 100 percent, at all times. Next time a story is written, please acknowledge all those who deserve to be acknowledged, and not just a select few.

Sincerely, Suzie Lafferty Cabrini athlete

Students assu~e leadership role to help underpriviledged youths

by Eric Tidwell guest writer Have you ever had someone in your childhood influence you? A person who you looked up to and wanted to be like? This is a person you will never forget.

This summer, Cabrini is sponsoring a Summer Mentoring program for 10 underprivileged children. These children are being selected from the Trinity Methodist and Blessed Mother Katherine Drexel Churches in Chester. These youths will come to Cabrini during August 1-5 for five

hours every day.

During this week, the children will participate in learning activities, such as science, computer literacy and photography. There will also be numerous athletic events to partake in.

The Cabrini students monitoring these youths will be: Marty Stamps, Nina D'onofrio, Dawnielle Klopp and Eric Tidwell.

"I feel the kids -.yill beµefit from this program not o~ly in educational ways, but in social aspects as well," Jackie Reid, a sophomore, said.

"I think this is going to be an ex-

cellent program," Rich Grace, a sophomore, said. "I feel that not only will the children involved get a worthwhile experience, but I feel the mentors will also gain a worthwhile experience."

The idea for this program originated from the Rev. Robert Davis, a Cabrini alumnus. Davis decided his alma mater would be a good place to give the program a try.

Davis was an underprivileged youth from Chester and he feels the need to give something back to his community.

Davis grew up in north Philadelphia and attended Abington High School. The idea came from helping underprivileged youths

in his area.

"I feel that giving them a change of scenery such as Cabrini will help them," Davis said.

"The first summer will be a trial summer and this program will- grow in the future," Grace said.

If there is anyone who would be willing to give up one week during his/her summer to be a mentor, contact-Francesca Bansbach, ext. 8225, or the director, Eric Tidwell. There is a possibility that this program can be used as community service hours for SEM 300.

According to Paolini, a senior, Pat stayed in their room from Thursday through Sunday, most weeks.

Pat then transferred to Cabrini. Even though he was a commuter, he said he still often crashed at Brendan's room in Xavier.

According to Paolini, the brothers' relationship grew a great deal during their time together at Cabrini.

"They get along really good," Kathleen Ryan said.

They played intramural softball together, and lived in Kingswood apartment complex, in separate apartments last year. Thefacttbat they will graduate together is just the icing on the cake.

"We've always hung out together and always bad the same group of friends," Brendan Ryan said. "It is ironic that we are graduating college together."

It is known among many Cabrini students that when one sees Pat Ryan around, Brendan will be near by. When Brendan is to be seen, Pat is not far behind.

What's next for the bosom brothers?

Brendan has recently bought a landscaping business. Pat is working along with him, until he gets on his feet.

Since Pat knows the ropes and knows many people in the business, he will be a great help to Brendan.

At the moment, Pat Ryan is not the only student employed with Brendan. Seniors Frank Petrane, Joel McGovern, Paolini, Giles and Tim McManus, a sophomore, have all worked for Brendan within the last few

months. They have nicknamed him the "slavedriver."

However, according to Brendan, they are happy for the income.

Just as financial status is improving with the Ryan brothers, it is also improving for their parents. Pat and Brendan's younger brother Kevin was accepted to Williamson Trade School, which offers free tuition. With the graduation of their two eldest sons, there will be no more tuition to be paid by the grateful parents again. That is a reason to celebrate!

According to Pat, they will have one big graduation party for the two brothers.

"We always said that if we are gonna graduate together," Brendan said, "it's gonna make for one hell of a party."

According to Brendan, they plan to block off the street for a huge party. The neighbors have already agreed.

After all the celebration, it will be back to business for these Cabrini graduates.

So Pat Ryan Sr. will be sitting in his chair, front and center, on that emerald lawn on May 22, eagerly awaiting the moment of his two sonS'' names being called out.

"He'll be so happy to see us both out of college," Brendan said.

According to Brendan, Kathleen Ryan will most likely be chatting away to several other attendees of the commencement. There is no doubt their hearts will be filled with pride as this moment in their family history drifts by.

"We're happy and pleased and proud," Kathleen Ryan said.

What do people love most about the summer?

Is it the warm breeze that bits their faces when they getoutoftbe salty ocean? Is it the soft sand that lingers through their ten playful toes? Maybe it is the sound of the Jack and Jill truck. Or, maybe it is the food that can only be enjoyed in the summertime.

If you guess the food, you are correct.

"When I think of the summer, I think of cherry or bubblegum water ice," said Amy Wechsler, a senior.

Hmmm. Water ice, she said. Is Wechsler the only person who craves water ice in the summer?

No! Jenn Woodruff, a sophomore, looks forward to blueberry water ice from Ade's Water Ice in Roxborough.

"It always reminds me of when I was a little kid," Woodruff said.

Blueberry water ice sounds good to Dann Trotter, a senior. However, he goes somewhere else for his summer treat. You will most likely see him in Northeast Philadelphia, at Rita's Water Ice. "It has big chunks of blueberries in it," Trotter said.

According to Joe Marturano, a first-year student, water ice isn't the only summertime delicacy available.

"I eat Funions and Arizona Raspberry iced tea," said Bill Matoney, a first-year student.

Sophomore Brian Mooney thinks about the smell ofbarbequed food on the grill. He said he likes hamburgers, hot dogs and com on the cob.

Kate Dinwiddie, a first-year student, agreed with Mooney. She likes picnic food, too, but will not last through the summer without her mint chocolate chip ice cream from Baskin Robbins.

As the temperature rises, the pools fill up

to the brim and the local furniture store has its annual "Christmas in July" sale, some people head for the Jersey shore to have some fun in the sun, and of course ...great food.

Larissa Schumann, a sophomore, goes all the way to Cannoli Comer in Ocean City, NJ., for an Italian cannoli.

Cathy Yungmann, a professor in the communications department, loves Mack's Pizza in Wildwood, N.J. Although pizza sounds good to Wechsler, she has to disagree with Y ungmann 's choice.

"Mack and Mango's Pizza in Ocean City is the best," Wechsler said.

What if you don't like pizza? What if you desire something from the ocean? Something that has eyes. Something like seafood!

Talk to Bud Mellon, communications center supervisor. He goes to Smith Marina in Somers Point, NJ. "The food is great and reasonably priced," Mellon said.

Mellon usually gets the special, Seafood Rockefeller. It is a mixture of all kinds of fish, baked in a cheese sauce with spinach.

If you like soup, Mellon encourages you to go here.

"They are famous for their seafood chowders, but I get the tomato, crab and bacon soup," Mellon said. "It is the best."

Okay, we have heard enough about New

Jersey. Let's go to another state, Maryland.

That is where Jeff Orlow, a sophomore, goes for seafood. Lobster, shrimp, you name it, Orlow suggests it be eaten in the town of Ocean City, Md. John Johnson, public safety officer, thinks he knows where to find the best seafood Mexico.

"I look fmward to all the tuna, lobster and swordfish at the Captain's Cove in Cancun," said Johnson. "Ifl didn't love it, I would not keep going back."

OK, OK, OK. What if you cannot stand pizza? What if seafood isn't your forte?

What if you don't want to pay a lot for this muffler?

Do what Bob Bonfiglio, vice-president of student development, does for some summer food. He goes to his in-laws' in Canada.

"My mother-in-law makes one hell of a meat pie," Bonfiglio said.

He said it is a mixture of beef, pork and liver, baked in a crust.

For all you Mexican food lovers, Bonfiglio has a tip. While you are in Canada, he suggests you go to his sister-in-law's for a taste of her taco dip.

Well, there you have it. A run down on the hottest food spots for the summer. Take these tips, take your appetite and take a wardrobe a few sizes larger. Enjoy!

Chorus performs concert

by Regina MIiier arts and entertainment editor

Songs of sopranos, altos and tenor-basses reverberated off the walls in Grace Hall Sunday, May 1. The high-pitched voices threatened the glass ceiling, but the atrium remained intact.

The campus chorus, lead by Dr. Adeline Bethany, department chairperson of fine arts, entertained the audience of friends, family and the Cabrini community, free of charge.

The _chorus began their preparation at the beginning of the spring semester.

Prior to that, the winter concert, Christmas caroling and club visits to many area nursing homes filled their days. Bethany said the chorus kept busy this year.

"A lot of students," Bethany said, "do not even know that there is a chorus."

After directing the chorus practice, from 7~15 to 9:15 p.m., Bethany continued to listen to solo pieces. Her quick motions energized the sleepiest of her performers. _"Movethose arms, show more emotion," Bethany said. "Come on, show them what you got."

Chorus members range from students, taking the course for credit, to alumni and community members. A member spoke about the type of music used in the concerts.

"Dr. Bethany, our fearless leader, chooses all the music," Linda Giannini, 1983 alumna and former student chorus member, said.

Giannini and Colleen Grossenbacher share Bethany's love for show tunes.

"We can make suggestions after the concert," Grossenbacher, a 1992 alumna and former student chorus member, said.

She said changes have been made due to the chorus' input.

Giannini returned one-and-a-half years ago when a friend encouraged her to come back. "I was here the year they went abroad to Romania and Greece in 1981," Giannini said.

Giannini said the next trip will take place in the summer of 1995.

Sound explodes from their larynxes.

Pleasing music is made. The months of practice pay off with pop_ular pieces resounding through the air. The chorus songs include movie classics such as "All Over the World" from "Aladdin", "Over the Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz," some songs from "Romeo and Juliet" and love ballads, including "Love Story," "A Time for Us" from "The Godfather" and "Somewhere My Love" from "Dr. Zhivago."

What qualities does one need to even think about joining the chorus? "All warm bodies are accepted," Grossenbacher said.

Giannini said she can look at Bethany and figure out where the notes should go.

Members discuss the chorus' initiation.

"I saw the ad in The Suburban, 11 years ago," MaryAnn Barrow said. "There is no way on God's earth that I would audition."

Barrow said she liked the fact that an audition was not required to join. She has been with the chorus for 11 years and never missed a season.

You do it for yourself," she said. "It is therapy for me. Some days I drag myself here and I am so tired, but I get rejuvenated."

Auditions are required for solo parts, and everyone is given that opportunity.

"Once you get started," Warren Grossenbacher, husband of Colleen Grossenbacher said, "you should feel a commitment because you really need to know the music."

Warren Grossenbacher was recruited by his wife, and he was a soloist at the concert.

Sophomores Nina Sciarotta and Angela Conlanardi used the rehearsal room in the library to practice for the spring concert.

Sciarrotta discussed the need for access to more instruments to provide accompaniment in some pieces that require something other than a piano.

"Sometimes a piece calls for a clarinet," Sciarrotta said. "Unfortunately, there are not a lot of people who play musical instruments. It would be nice to get some more people who play instruments to form a group

Clara LaPorta has accompanied choruses with Bethany since 1976, and joined Bethany at Cabrini in the mid-eighties.

"I get an awful lot of joy seeing a group of students and community members gathering together, making music and enjoying it.

It inspires me," LaPorta said.

LaPorta 's favorite in the concert is "Free Willy" by Michael Jackson. She said her overall musical preferences are the classics

by Beethoven and Mozart.

Recruitment challenges the chorus. Colleen Grossenbacher and Giannini simultaneously said they need people, especially men. At present, they have three male members and 25 female members.

"If you have friends that like to sing, as long as you can carry a tune and follow directions, you will be fine," Grossenbacher said.

"You can watch (Bethany's) directions most of the time," Giannini said. "You will sound beautiful."

Bethany also directs the chorus at Delaware County Community College.

hosts poetry reading says welcome to the psychiatric ward in Byberry State Hospital.

"I was there. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you I am a manic depressive." He slurs this out with an almost sickening lisp in his voice. "I was a lot of things, you know. I am a lot of things, too."

Then others take the stage. An AfricanAmerican man in his mid-twenties takes the stage. His ·short-cropped dread locks protrude in all directions from his head.

He starts his message with "A junkie tripping on words." He then continues to explain his life in the ghetto and how upward~lass mobility disappeared.

He brings to life with his words and the harshness of his rhyme, "Life on the Streets."

It is a blunt urban message.

One reflection among the many who have no options left. He said, ''There is nowhere to turn/No way out." He said something about having to keep on keeping on.

He is fired up and his voice goes from a whisper to a high reaching crescendo touching the very souls of the crowd.

The owner of The Last Drop, Philip, said, "It is better than having a band because people are not dancing all over the place and here the crowd is more subdued, speaking about things that really matter. There is a strong social message going on here."

This movement of poetry is almost a reciprocation of what was happening back in the 1950s and the 1960s with the Beat Generation.

That generation had direct influence on a whole slew of movements and spawned literary figures such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack

Kerouc.

What will thisnewmovementdo? Back then, one might have found a poet in an underground coffeehousepickingupaspoonandrattlingoffall the things that are symbolic of a spoon. Hunger, feeding, the whole history of the spoon until it became so important that it was the threshold for civilization.

Well, today we do not have up-and-coming poets picking up spoons unless they are going to talk about the spoon's importance to the person who is free-basing cocaine.

In the nineties, these poets are looking for answerstonew questionsthathave todealwith the morality and integrity of America.

They also want to know why friends and family are dropping dead from overdoses and AIDS. This is the new influence on Generation X. It is only beginning to blossom.

Neeli Cherkovski, a San-Franciscan poet and literary historian, said, ''These people are responding to the·real deep pulse of a rapidly changing society."

This movement grows in all of the major urban centers in America. From poetry slams to tiny coffee shops, poetry is alive and beginning to influence the world around it.

Poetry brings to light the changing views of a new generation and seems to only be in its beginning stages.

The most important thing, though, is that anyone canattend,and anyone canbe the spokesperson for a new generation's ideals, hopes and dreams. It is only a matter of being willing to take the stage and share your message.

Lady Cavs place second in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference

by Celene Wright sports editor

"Champion play is the icing on the cake," James Hedtke, the coach of the women's softball team, said. "It is why you prepare for the season, it is why you play each season; so you will get to the championship round."

The Cabriniwomen's softball team took the coach's feelings in stride, as they set out to play in thePennsylvaniaAthleticConference(PAC), on April 30. The team was scheduled to play against Alvemia College at 9:30 a.m.

If the team defeated Alvernia, the team would then move on to play Misericordia. This was the final game that would detelll}ine the PAC champions.

One of the odds against Cabrini was their starting senior shortstop and captain, Rosanne Carfagno, who was injured in the previous game, against Stockton State. The injury prevented her from playing in the PAC and left her team members with feelings of distress.

"Roxy is the epitome of a softball player.

She has got great ability and a lot of heart and dedication," said Melissa Hunsburger, a firstyear student.

Carfagno, sad about being unable to play in her lastgameatCabrini,said, "Theteamreally wanted the Alvernia game. It was irnportantto us."

The first inning against Alvernia was not very promisingfor Cabrini, due to fact that they were losing, 5-0. Alvemia was up at bat with two outs, when Cabrini earned their chance at bat for the second inning.

"It looked like a bad day," said Hedtke, who definitely did not want to end the season with a tragic defeat.

It was time for a pep talk. "I do not want to see any more fear in your eyes, let's play softball," Hedtke said to his team.

Carfagno added to the speech by giving her team a look of anger, and the next thing you know, "you cou.ldn't tum them off," Hedtke said.

Hedtke said the whole team played well in the game against Alvemia, but if he had to

single out individuals, it would be senior Charlyne Adams and juniorJennifer Wunsch.

"Char went 4-4 in.our first game and she also played well in the outfield," first-year student Jennifer Wiederwax said. "She stands out in my mind for the first game."

Adams had about three or four runs batted in, added Hedtke.

According to Hedtke, "Jen Wunsch had a good performance, both in terms of pitching and hitting. She had quite a few RBIs in the game."

The team had worked together to come out on top in the fifth inning and never looked back, Hedtke said.

One game down and one to go, in order for the Cabrini women's softball team to become the PAC champions. They had defeated Alvernia, 10-7. They were halfway to victory.

The team realized that they had been missing their assistant coach, senior Dave King, when he showed up to support his team for the second part of the conference. He was absent from the first game due to his being sick.

"Dave has done well as coach because it is tough to be a friend and a coach. One minute, he is borrowing notes in class and the next minute, he is telling someone to get down on a ground ball. He did very well in transferring form one role to another," Carfagno said.

The women began the game against Misericordia, but they just did not have the similarpep they had in the previous game. The team lost the game to Misericordia, 12-2, also losing the PAC. "The games were like a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde experience," Adams said. "We were all up and ready for the first game, but by the second game, it was like we were not even on the field.

Though they had lost the PAC, the team still had a good attitude about how they played.

There were not many harsh feelings.

Hedtke said, ''The team never lost heart.

The good attitudes begin with our team captain andgoesrightdowntothepeoplewhositonthe bench."

Due to a "bad hop" grounder, shortstop Rosanne Carfagno, senior, broke her finger in three places during a home game against Stockton State College.

Wiederwax felt that she and her teammates learned to play as a team in the game against Alvernia.

Though Carfagno was not able to play, she had a great attitude about her years playing for the Cabrini women's softball team and her coach.

Carfagno said, "I wish every kid could have a Mr. Hedtke coach, because if they did, they would realize softball was more than a game and not a win or lose situation. It has to do with real life, everything you do on the field has to do with life and how you handle it."

Dan Dotsey, first-year student, agressively serves the ball to his opponent. He played firs~singles and first doubles in the PAC, on Saturday, April 23.

At the beginningof the men's tennis season, CoachReggieDay'sexpectationswereno different from any otherseason. He wantedto win one match. His teamed promised him a conference championshipandtheCavsdidjustthatwhenthey went on to defeat Eastern for the Pennsylvania AthleticConference(PAC)championshiptitle.

Day said the season started off a little shaky whentheCavslosttheseasonopener.Hisgoalwas to improvethe teams9-11 recordfromthe previous seasonas well as to rebuildthe team thatwas left with only two returningplayer,seniorsMatt Cahill and Jeff Patty. This year of rebuilding causedDay to be a bit apprehensive.

Accordingto Day, rebuildingcauseda lot of questionsmarks.Thesequestionmarkswerefilled byfrist-yearstudentsDanDotsey ,AlexCorckhill, and Gary Egizi, who played in the first three positions.Day saidthe transformationformhigh school athleticsto the collegiatelevel is often a difficultone.Dotsey,CorckhillandEgizi,however, didnot experiencethisdifficulty.

This year'steam has skill and depth in every position. Accordingto Day, the teamconsistsof tennisplayers,notpeoplewhplaytennis.Interms of depth, the team was solid in six of their top positions.

It is a requirementin the NCAA that tennis players start in the positionthat is comprableto their ability, regardless of their grade level or number of years on the team. Day said Dotsey, CorckhillandEgiziwerethethreestrongestplayers, therefore,they filledthe top threeslots.

Dotseyhad the abilityto overpoweran opponent and played a strong all court game. This, combinedwith being a strongserver and volley
