VJ \J No one knows what went wrong with the cable company that kept disregarding their Cabrini customers. Those who wanted cable, and paid for the cable installation for the entire month of September, were really upset with Aldephia Cable Co. It seems as if other area colleges took priority over us, even after the fees were paid. Not only are the sports teams doing a great job so far this season, but so are the fans. During the men's soccer game against Misericordia last Saturday, the Cabrini fans went wild in support for their team! It really helped to make the adrenaline flow during the critical moments of the game. The final score was Cabrini, 3-2! winnertakes all Richard Jasper, copy editor Not since Vanessa Williams, who relinquished her crown in 1984 after nude photographs of her were published in "Penthouse" magazine, has a Miss America pageant winner created such a controversy. Now, more than 10 years later, it seems as if the entire country is questioning Heather Whitestone's victory. Whitestone, a 21-year-old college student from Birmingham, Ala., was named Miss America 1995 on Saturday, Sept.17, in Atlantic City. What separates Whitestone from the pageant's past winners is that she is the first woman with a major disability to wear the fabled crown. Whitestone is almost completely deaf, with no hearing in one ear and only five percent in the other. And it is her deafness that has thrust to center stage a controversy as to whether or not Whitestone really deserved the title. In general, it seems almost no one is completely thrilled with her victory. Many members of the hearing community believe Whitestone won the sympathy vote by stealing the hearts of the audience and judges. Some even have been brazen enough to suggest that she could have stuck straws up her nose during the talent competition and still would have received a standing ovation. The deaf community, on the other hand, believe the new Miss America is a trifle politically incorrect. After all, this deaf woman prefers to speak rather than use sign language. To them, Whitestone's facility with speech-reading and speaking isn't an accomplishment; it's a sellout. What everyone seems to be forgetting, though, is that Whitestone, regardless of why she was chosen or how she chooses to communicate with the rest of the world, is the winner. It should not matter why she was crowned. Rather, as a nation, we should be concerned with what Whitest~ne plans to accomplish • during her reign as Miss America 1995 and how she intends to be a role model for others. Following the pageant, Whitestone _said being named Miss America was one of her biggest dreams, and she hopes that when other children see her speak, they will have no excuse for not making their own dreams come true. In her own life, Whitestone does practice what she intends to preach. She has let very little get in the way of her goals and aspirations.

Born with hearing, Whitestone went deaf at the age of 18 months after a bad reaction to a diphtheria-tetanus vaccine. As she got older, she let it be known to her family that she didn't want to be different. As a result, she began studying a system that teaches the deaf to rel\d lips and use their voices. Eventually, Whitestone began competing in beauty pageants to help pay her tuition at Jacksonville State University, where she is currently a junior majoring in accounting. Because beauty pageants themselves have such a negative connotation in modem society, it is sometimes difficult to remember that Miss America is supposed to do more than tour the country on the back of a parade float, smiling and waving like a life-sized Barbie doll. Sure, it certainly helps a contestant if she is builtlike Barbie-blond, blue-eyed,anorexic and well-endowed in all the right places. But the pageant has drastically changed since its 1921 inception into American culture. In 1994, Miss America must be more than just a mere beauty queen. Now, she must be a modern woman with a mission and a message. Whitestone is a firm believer in actions speaking louder than words. She wants all physically-challengedpeople, not only the deaf, to know there are no limits to what they can do. Furthermore, she wants her victory to be a source of pride for the deaf community and an opportunity for the hearing society to understand and appreciate the deaf. The new Miss America is going to have a long, difficultjourney as she attempts to spread her message across the country. Already, Whitestone has encountered difficulties she is likely to face often in her new role. At her first news conference following the pageant, she had to tell photographers to stop taking pictures because the flashes kept her from reading a reporter's lips. Whitestone, however, is not easily discouraged. As a child, her mother told her that the last four letters of "American" spell "I can." And I, for one, know she will.

Security measures restrict on-campus living With the start of every new semestercomes new surprises. A large number of complaintswere filed last semester,by both parentsand students,in regardsto the noise,trafficandpartiesthatwere occurringin Xavier and WoodcrestHalls. This then forced the resident life staff to tighten the visitationpolicy of the two halls. Visitors must leave by midnight on S1mday-Thursday,and by 2 a.m. on Fridayand Saturday.The goal is to increasethe overallsafetyof these academic environments. It must be working because, according to Cathy Caulfield, directorof residentlife, the numberof weeklycomplaintsreceivedby resident life so far this semesterhas decreased. However,this changehas made it difficultfor returningXavierresidentsto adjust, becausethey had 24-hourvisitationfreedomlast semester. The majority of these returning students are upset with the fact that they participatedin last semester's housinglottery withoutbeing informed of the changein policy. Residentswerenot informed untiltheyreturnedto school for the fall semester. This shock did not affectthe residentsliving in the housesbecausethey do not have set visitationlimits. The inequalityof restrictingthe halls and not the housing is a big issue. It doesn't seemto make sense. First-yearstudentsareliving in a wet facilitywith no visitationrestriction. This seems to go againstthe ethical controlissue of creatingan academically-safeenvironment. This changemay not be acceptedby everyone,causingsome peopleto take actionsthey normallywould not take if equalityexisted.Only time will tell if this restrictionwill eliminateor cause more problems. ;'\ A lot of people enjoyed the miniature golf course that was set up in the gym last Friday evening. A company came to the college to assemble the 10-hole golf course for those who were able to golf as many times as they wanted for free. Prizes, gifts and trophies were also given away. Mike Edwards, the caricature cartoonist who visited campus last Thursday, did not only create terrific cartoon creations, but also long lines of interested students. Everyone who participated was very pleased because the long lines moved quickly and it was free!
To the editor: The lack of parking on campusthis semester is ridiculous! First of all, every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:30 a.m., the parking lots are full.

Considering some commuter students do not register their cars, and visitors and residents can park in the lots, they have been filled up lately to their capacity. It seems as if Cabrini is not aware of this problem at all. Sometimesthat plasticregistrationtag falls from the mirror and then you are stuck with another $15 fine! It seems as if this college could cut the hassleof distributingthese tickets constantly and invest their time elsewhere. My family pays enoughper class, let alone there be this additionaltab stuck on my annual tuition bill. It isn't so much the money that bothers me, but the fact that the college is paying someone to place these little tickets on vehicles when these peoples' salaries or time could be used for something worthwhile. For example; air conditionersthatwork in the classrooms,more updated computersfor students to use or even a new parking lot.!
I was always looking to produce good running results in order to make myself happy and to attain my dream of being a top athlete. I was pleased with what I had accomplished. I won many races in Morocco, and I was twice the Moroccan national champion. I also won the Magriban championship twice. This is an international student cross-country competition between Tunisia, Libya, Morocco and Algeria. I never said, "Enough!" I constantly strove to be a good athlete in order to realize my other dreams. One of those dreams was to see my name printed in newspapers around the world. Another was to participate in the Olympic Games and other international events. For better results, I decided to leave Morocco for another country that was known for producing top athletes in this kind of sport. Because of good training f~cilities, and weather that was similar to my own country's weather, Italy was my choice. Yet, the training was very different from what I had done at home. Now, I was training twice a day rather than just once. The difference focused not only on the quality of work, but the quantity as well. My training involved running 130 to 150 miles a week, and it included speed work on a track. Running has made my life better, and I have never found ii to be boring. It made me a very important person, and also well known in the domain of sports. From it, I created a life of balance, moderation and simplicity, of the values that had helped me to improve my running and my life. Victory was the most important thing to me, so I never gave up easily. I won a lot of races and defeated a lot of champions to finally achieve my dreams. My name was even published in many magazines and newspapers. In 1987, I went to the World Athletic Championships in Rome, Italy. That same year, I was ranked third in the world for a marathon that took place in London England. I finished in second place, with a time of 2:10:09. Later, I was selected as a member of the Moroccan Olympic team for the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. And in 1989, I was ranked number one in the world for a half marathon, after winning two other prestigious races of that same distance.
Olympicrunnerdefeatsthe odds
Name withheld by editor They were the Philadelphia Distance Run and the Great North Run in Newcastle, England. In the England race, I defeated two Olympic medalists, while holding the Moroccan record for the marathon distance. I also broke the record that was held since 1961 by Erradi Adelsalam. Arriving to the top was a process that required a lot of work, discipline and training. I never felt like I was going to quit, or allowed myself to think negatively. I never see things as hard or as obstacles that are too difficult to pass, because motivation, commitment and confidence were alive in my heart. Mentally, I enjoy running for many reasons, whether they are for good reasons or bad. Any time I feel alone or depressed, I go for a run. It clears my mind and makes my body very active, yet relaxed. When I run a race, I feel happy because I meet people and friends from different places around the world It helps me to forget, at least for that moment, about all of my problems. Physically, injuries may slow a runner down, making them suffer psychologically. Sometimes injuries may even end careers if the athlete can no longer • achieve the best results. I had a serious injury that required me to have surgery on my back in order to remove a herniated disc. It prevented me from training for almost six months, and I couldn't compete for at least two years. During recovery, I focused a lot on training, rather than competing. Also, a lot of people helped me to get back in shape. My coach, Tom O'Hora, who coaches Cabrini's running team, gave me a lot of advice on how to regain my confidence in running. It has taken me a long time to return to my former level because I was running only once a day. However, I did participate in small races, and by doing this, I have built my confidence up. Although I cut my training mileage in half, the most important thing to me is to go back and begin a new life. This has not been easy for me, because it takes a lot of time and a lot of courage. I did not want to give up, no matter how much pain I felt or how much I suffered. Day after day, my performance is getting better and better. I've started to do well again in races, and I'm starting to compete at national and international levels. I even ran my first international race since my injury, on Sunday, Sept.18, when I crossed the finish line at the Philadelphia Distance Run. I kept thinking that it was the race I won five years ago, in 1:05:02. This time, I was satisfied with my 10th place finish, and very happy because I am waiting for my performance level to increase. I know that I will never give up.
EI-Mostafa Nechchadi, Learning from a good experience and dreaming of being a champion gave me the opportunity to start my running career. It began when I was young and had to walk a lot of miles on my way to and from school each day because there were no school buses. I developed my mus~les without knowing anything about aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Everything came by nature, and people called it talent. Of course, if you exercise your body every day, without having a choice, you will be in good shape in the future. Eight miles a day put me in good enough shape to be able to sign with a private running team in my country of Morocco. My story doesn't finish here. Other reasons pushed me to run, and I was proud of myself for running because I chose to stay far away from getting involved in smoking and drinkingalcohol. I loved to travel and wanted to see the historical cities that I couldn't afford to visit. But in order to see all these cities, I needed to have a lot of money to pay for the travel and lodging expenses. Running was the solution for resolving these problems. I found myself visiting these cities for free because the sponsors took care of all the expenses when we traveled for races in different places. That is why I got involved in running. The first step was in school. Two weeks after joining the high school team, they chose me to represent the team with other runners at the Moroccan national championships. It was my first experience in a big sports event. I finished in 56th place, and was very happy. A friend of mine saw the event and was pleased with my performance. "Would you like to come and sign up with us? The coach of our team will be happy to see you," my friend said. Signing with this team became the second step toward being a good competitor. From that moment on, running spread through my bloodstream.

The new Miss America is deaf in one ear and has only five percent hearing in the other. She reads lips to understand people. Whitestone chose dance as her talent. She explained that during the pageant she listens to the music several times and then counts the beats. On certain beats, she knows which steps to perform. A small ~roup of the Cabrini community liked the pageant. "I think it's nice that a handicapped woman won," Jan Fogel, an employee of the business office, said. Fogel also said whenever she sits home and watches it, her family never picks the winner. "I'm not opposed to it (the pageant)," she said. "I like it," Roberta Holley, an employee of the business office, said. "Its the idea of tradition. In the fall, there is the World Series and Miss America." Holley also said she thought it was great that a deaf woman won. The Miss America Pageant offers the contestants a chance to receive college scholarships. The fourth runner up receives a $4,000 scholarship. The third runner up receives an $11,000 scholarship. The second runner up receives a$14,000scholarship. Thefirstrunner up receives a $20,000 scholarship. The crowned Miss America receives a $35,000 scholarship plus a $25,000 scholarship from the Waterford Crystal Company. Other students just don't like the pageant in general "I think the whole pageant is stupid," first-year student, Tom McKee, said. "I was in a pageant once afld I hated it," Mindy Piekutowski, ajunior, said. "It seemed all fake." Piekutowskisaid that in pageants, the contestants back stage all act so phony. They are working too hard to make themselves look good. The pageant started with introductions of the representative from each of the 50 states. Then, the judges immediately narrowed it down to the 10 semifinalists. The judges then narrowed it down to the five semifinalists, the runners-up and the new Miss America. The contestants are judged on evening gowns, swimsuits, talent and interviews. During the pageant, contestants showed individual video-bios for the 10 semifinalists. The videos showed the contestants in everyday life. One student in particular said she felt that the pageant should change to keep up with the times. "I think it should be ·more diverse," first-year student, Dana Erdosy, said. " The panel of judges should be chosen by surveys." This year, there was a change made to the swimsuit competition. Therontestants did not wear shoes. Instead, they went barefoot. One student showed how he felt about the pageant by making a mockery of the event. They should have more swimsuitevents," Felix Ortiz, afirstyearstudent, said, "and have them topless, if possible." Another student said she felt the pageant was sexist. "I think the Miss America Pageantshould be based on the women's thoughts instead oflooks," first year student Megan Tinney said. "I don't like them (pageants) because I personally believe they are sexist." Another group of people showed that they really don't care about the pageant one way or another. "In the eyes of the viewer at home, what's more important, talent or beauty?" Cathy Yungmann, assistant professor of communications, said. "I don't watch it unless my wife does," multi-cultural coordinator, Scott Dorsey, said. "I don't see the interest or importance in it." Dorsey said he could do without the pageant. "I think they should bring back Bert Parks," said Robert A. Bonfiglio, vice president for student development, • The new Miss-America brings a fresh perspective t-othis years pageant.

Art departmentseeks and finds by Jamie Latshaw staff writer To some, Camden is a slum. To others, it is crime infested and dirty. To William M. Hoffman, Jr., it is an inspiration. Hoffman's paintings of urban and rural landscapes, including Camden, will be on display on the second floor of the Holy Spirit Library from Oct. 9 to Nov. 13. Hoffman, 60, enjoys finding old, historic buildings and preserving their craftsmanship and architecture on his canvas. Before the wrecking crew arrives on the site to demolish an old building, Hoffman captures the original landmark with his paintbrush. The Cabrini College fine arts department will present the exhibit entitled, "Landscapes: Urban and Rural." A reception will be held on Sunday, Oct. 9 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the library. Hoffman has taken painting seriously since 1953, when he came to Philadelphia to study at the Academy of Fine Arts and later at Tyler School of Art of Temple University. Hoffman is currently an associate professor of fine art at Rutgers University. In addition to being inspired by his natural surroundings, Hoffman finds the narrative and collection of essays entitled "Steppenwolf and Everyman" to be artistically stirring. Dr. Hans Mayer, author of "Steppenwolf and Everyman," is profoundly concerned with individual vision and the creative process. Hoffman said he considers himself to be a naturalistic painter with tendencies towards a romantic, expressionistic and realistic style, with interest in color. The fine arts department was looking for an artist to exhibit his work. They released an advertisement and asked anyone interested to submit slides and resumes. Hoffman sent a pamphlet to Dr. Adeline Bethany, chairperson of the fine arts department. Bethany offered the exhibit to him. Hoffman's exhibit will topll0IOsupplied by fin, ans department William M.

Hoffman will also display watercolors of farmhouses from Chester County to Connecticut. Junior Kristen Shapansky, an art major at Cabrini College, is preparing for Hoffman's visit. She has been contacting the Wood Food Service and Management Company to possibly arrange to have cheese, wine, vegetables with dip, and soda at the reception on Oct. 9. Shapansky would also like to have physical plant paint the walls in the fine arts gallery of the library. For further information call the fine arts department.

On Saturday, Sept. 17, the 74th Annual Miss America Pageant was televised on ABC at 9 p.m. The New Miss America 1995 is Miss Alabama, Heather Whitestone. Some of the Cabrini community said the pageant was fixed. They thought Miss Alabama won because she was deaf. "I think it's fixed," first-year student, Stephanie Deitelbaum, said. "It's too phony." Deitelbaum also compared the pageant to "Al Albert's Showcase" for adults. "It's a crock," Milena Porreca, a first-year student, said. ''They have pity on poople who have problems."

Media blitz places murderers on pedestals by Amy Jackson staff writer Mickey and Mallory Knox , the murderers in "Natural Born Killers," lead us on a patbof human destruction thatisfollowed,ifnotpromoted,by the media. The media plays a role in making Mickey and Mallory stars by depicting them and their actions in Newsweek. Their fans try to explain that they know murder is wrong, yet theythinkMickeyandMallory,played byactorsWoodyHarrelsonandJuliette Lewis, are cool. Could it be said that the media, especially tabloid and celebrityjournalismin print or on television,influences what people do and how they think? AccordingtoTheNewYodcTunes, the banality of the film's influence is creepier than anything in the movie. Five days after''Natural Born Killers" opened and became the number one movie in the country, The New York Daily News ran a front-page story about an accused murderer under the headline ''Natural Born Killer." As the New York DailyNewsused Oliver Stone's idea of''Natural Born Killers," Stone uses various styles of media to infonn us about Mickey and Mallory. In a sitcom, he shows what Mallory's fumilyis like and how they treatedher,only to have them die later. The transitionfrom color to black and white, along with the cartoon inserts, kept the audiences' attention. As the screened flashed from scene to scene, viewers could not look away as they waitedto see what would happennext. When a reporter joins Mickey and Malloryin the killingof prisonguards. we get the message that there is a fine line between being san~ and being psychoticenough to kill. At the end of the movie, Mickey and Mallory tum their guns at Wayne Gale, played by Robert DowneyJr. He triesto save his lifeby remindingthem theyneed to let him live so that he can continueto tell theirstory. Mickeyand Mallorypoint to the video camera and tell him that is all they need. "Killing you and what you representis a statement,"Mickey said. ''l'mnotexactly lOOpercentsure of what it's saying." Stone ends the movie without lettingusknowifMickeyactuallypulled the triggeron Gale. "Natural Born Killers" definitely made a statement The audience just was not sure exactly what that statement was.

Mustang madness cools engines
by Lisa Hines staff writer At the Eighth Annual Franklin Mint Antique Automobile Festival on Sunday, Sept. 18, 1994, there was a display in honor of the Mustang's 30th anniversary. Over 120 Mustangs were displayed, which included a Winner's Circle of 30 Mustangs that represented a model for each year from 1964 to 1994. Power, strength and grace are three words that describe a mustang, a horse that was never tame, always wild and free. In 1962, Ford's first Mustang automobile was unveiled at the U.S. Grand Prix in Watkins Glen, N.Y. The name "mustang" ~ame from the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane. One year later, Ford came back to Watkins Glen with the Mustang II. This was a disguised show-carversion of the Mustang production model. On April 17, 1964, at the New Yo_rk World's Fair, the Mustang was officially introduced. People caught "Mustang fever," and 22,000 orders were taken on the first day alone. In Chicago, a Ford dealership closed early and called the police when Mustang owners became anxious and attacked the showroom. In the first· 12 months, 417,000 Mustangs were sold. When the Mustang served as the official pace car for the Indianapolis 500, the sleek symbol was already a part of America's culture. Sales reached the one million mark in March, 1966. By the year 1967, competitors were trying to follow in Ford's footstep with imitations. Now, in 1994, Mustang has already won the Motor Trend's "Car of the Year" title and was once again the official pace car. for the 1994 Indianapolis 500 Race. Steve Nusbaum, owner of a 1965 Mustang GT Convertible, bought his car for $2,800 and now considers it priceless. "It remained popular because it was the first car that truly appealed to the baby boomers in mass," Nusbaum said. "It was a sporty car, inexpensive and looked great." Although Adam Erdman, 9, is too young to drive, he said he admires his father's 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. "I like the color of it and it just looks nice," Erdman said. "I hope he'll give it to me." A graduate of Cabrini, Lisa Albrecht, is the ownerof a 1966 Mustang convertible. Her husband , Chris, was the one who talked her into buying her car about 15 years ago. Chris said he likes the style of Mustangs and he feels they are a tradition in his family. Matt Papa, 11, said his dad's 1969 Mock 1 Mustang is, "an awesome car because of the color and just how it looks." His older brother, Ralph, 14, likes the looks and sportiness of the car and he thinks a lot of people like to drive convertibles. This anniversary display proved that the Mustang has been a hit since its birth.

Radnor Township Police Department. "After businesses provide parking for their employees, there is generally no room left for their customers", he said. "Parking around here is pretty gruesome" said transfer student Bryan Bonfiglio. "I try to park in places like Borders or McDonalds Sometimes its better to just walk to where you have to go." "With so many stores and so many people there is no real space," said sophomore Amy Mollenkof. Maybe more metered parking or the creation of parking lots would help to ease this problem. According to Sgt. Flannery· of the Radnor Township Police Department, however, it will not happen anytime soon. "We do not have any plans to install any more meters or open up any lots anytime soon. I guess we will just have to adjust and hope_ for things to get better in the long run." In the meantime, residents have to move their vehicles before 7 a.m. or receive a $10 ticket for illegal parking and face the risk of having their car towed. Residents are not happy with the performance of the police with regard to this incident. "This is not the way Radnor Township usually does things," said Jeff Pendergast, one of the owners of the towed vehicles. "I want my money back. I think everybody should get their money back," he said.

Public Safety Update
Residents complain about parking dilemma by Kathy Cephas staff writer How many times have you decided to park on a side street when you could not find any spaces along Lancaster Avenue, only to find your car gone upon your return? Some residents of Charles Drive in Radnor have had this happen to them within the past week. Temporary "no parking" signs have been posted due to street repavement. Owners are being fined and their cars towed without notice. Even those residents that are parked across the street from the signs are being penalized. The management of the Broadline Apartment complex is upset because it argues that the signs are not visible and that the tenants were not properly notified of the roadwork that was to begin.

More than half of the teams in the National Hockey League make it into the playoffs. The last time the Philadelphia Flyers made it to the NHL Playoffs, Ron Hextall was the goaltender. That was five years ago. The last time the Flyers made it to the Stanley Cup Finals, Ron Hextall was the goaltender. Since then, Hextall has suffered through multiple injuries, numerous suspensions, a prolonged holdout and three trades in as many seasons. Last week, the cycle was completed. Ron Hextall, the most-hated goalie in the NHL, returned to the orange and black. The Flyers traded goalie, Tommy Soderstrom, to. the New York Islanders for Hextall and a sixth-round draft pick. This winter, Ron Hextall will lead the Flyers back into the NHL Playoffs_. Although they might not make it to the Finals this year, Hexy and the Flyers will be drinking from the Cup in a few seasons. There were too many times _last season when teams beat the Flyers because of shoddy goaltending. Neither Soderstrom or Dominic Roussel proved themselves worthy of holding the job this season. The Flyers needed a solid netminder to take the pressure off of a defense that is not as bad as people think. The best defensive teams in the league make mistakes. The difference is, they have goalies who will erase those mistakes. The Flyers goalies compounded those mistakes with errors of their own. Not anymore. Last year, teams pushed the Flyers around. Not anymore. The stickswinging goalie will take care of that. Last year, there was no fire in the guts of the Flyers. Not anymore. The pipe-clanging goalie will take care of that. Last year, the Flyers lost games that they should have won. Not anymore. The goal-scoring goalie will take care of that. Last year, Flyers owner, Ed Snider, said his team was five years away from winning the Cup. That timetable just became a little shorter. Hextall will join a team that has enough offense to win games. Eric Lindros, Mark Recchi, Rod Brind' amour, Mikael Renberg, Garry Galley and Co. will take care of that part. Hexy will take care of the rest. Last week, Ron Hextall returned to his home. In a few months, the NHL Playoffs will return, too.

by Beth Molloy staff writer ONFL The Eagles began practicing again on Saturday, Sept. 24, after a three-day bye week. The break began after a 13-7 victory over Green Bay, setting their record at 2-1. Offensive lineman Tom McHale, who replaced Ron Selby last September after suffering a rib injury, was signed on Saturday, Sept. 24. The ~I-year-old played with the Eagles the last five games oflast season, starting in four of those games. The team faces the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys next. Both teams have defeated the Eagles in the past. Both Rich Kotite and the players say these games will be the ultimate test, setting the tone for the entire season. ::JNHL 'The future is now," is the theme for the Philadelphia Flyers this season. The team has made some important changes since last season, which include new general manager and ex-Flyer, Bob Clarke, new coach Terry Murray, and a new captain, Eric Lindros, to replace Kevin Dineen.

New additions to the team include Phil Crowe, formerly of the L.A. Kings, Kevin Haller. formerly of Montreal, defenseman Dimitri Yushkevich and goal tender Dominic Roussel. But what really has Flyers fans stunned is the trade with the New York Islanders, which putRonHextall back in the Flyers goal. Hex tall was traded two years ago for Lindros. Inretum,thelslandersgainedgoalieTommy Soderstrom. Clarke said he traded Soderstrom because he was uncomfortable with two young goalies. Hextall had a 3.08 goals-against-average with the Islanders. He was the team's sixth round selection in next year's draft. So now, with all these new developments, comes possibilities for yet another strike in the world of sports.
