Defendinga city-inthe name of pride
Everyone knows that Bill Clinton said in his presidential speech that the United States is not the world's policemen, however, he seems to have forgotten the Monroe Doctrine, which said that the United States must act in Jhe role of the international police in any severe wrongdoings. That, in essence is what that United States is doing and that is why thousands of American soldiers are away from their families, trying to restore democracy in another country. Although the Monroe Doctrine addresses international relations it does not bother to mention one major factor, our own country. Our soldiers are risking their lives to save people from being killed in another country when people are still getting killed in our own country. We are supplying Haiti with money, but what about the homeless people that occupy our very streets. The United States should not ignore Haiti's problems but at the same time we need to focus on our own. George Bush used the P~rsian Gulf War to increase his popularity. Clinton's recent healthcare and crime legislation failures have left his popularity waning. With the next presidential election coming up in 1996, is he try to use the same tactics as Bush to win re-election? @ ;fif,:lt!\;';·• ,,,•. ;u_:m-:. ..•..-:.lr:N~WO~:l\:: C ·, _: _,; ;,.&_._· .' ;_:?_, ,,._;: ,_:_:·}\C_,: ,:.,c;, The new cashing hours now limited to Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m.-noon and 2-4 p.m., when many students have classes.

The radio station's transmitter unexpectedly broke right before the start of Family Weekend. Unfortunately, this ruined WYBF's plans to broadcast from the kite festival. Luckily the transmitter is working again and we are back on the air. Family Weekend was a huge success. A lot of parents showed up, and all of the events were booked. The homecoming dance and the kite festival were especially popular. There is no place like home. Maybe it is the fact that I walk faster than most people, use my hands more than most people or talk faster than most people. Maybe it is the fact that I talk about the place as if it were the second best thing to paradfae. Whatever it is, people always seem to know that I am a New Yorker. It has always been the source of jokes among my friends. I recently praised one of my friends, whose parents grew up in the Bronx, for starting to read The New York Times. I also have a running joke with one of my friends that pate served in a French restaurant in Manhattan is somehow better than the real thing. (Do not ask ·You are really better off not knowing.) The fact of the matter is, New York always has and always will have a very special place in my heart. I have lived in Queens all my life until I moved to Long Island last May. Like most cities, Philadelphia included, New York has its own unique style. It has one of the largest immigration populations in the country, making it a very diverse city. It also has one of the largest, most outspoken gay and lesbian communities in the country. New York has Greenwich Village/Soho, where one can find alternative people with flaming red hair, nose rings, pale white skin and combat boots hanging out with the artsy crowd. It is the home of such publications as The Village Voice, bless its liberal soul, and The New York Times. It is the home of musicians Paul Simon, Billy Joel and Cyndi Lauper. It is the home of tall skyscrapers, the Statue of Liberty and great art museums, like the Metropolitan. It has personal meaning for me too, of course. New Yorkers are known for being independent, strong, outspoken and a little out of the ordinary. That is exactly what my family is, and I would not want them to be any other way. In addition to growing up in a city where I was exposed to many different ethnic groups, my family has made me what I am today. People have told me that I have been guilty of making the places where they live seem inferior. If I have unintentionally done that to anyone, I apologize. Philadelphia is easily my second favorite city. One of my favorite memories of Cabrini is watching everyone get so excited over the Philadelphia Phillies last fall. I will never forget the night they won the National League championship game. I was watching it with two friends, and we all started jumping up and down and screaming when they won. As I listened to my friend call her family in excitement, mass quantities of excited fans ran screaming out of Woodcrest Hall. Even after the Phillies lost the Series, many fans remained loyal. That would never happen in New. York. "Philadelphia" is also one ofmy favorite movies. Because this is the "City of Brotherly Love," the movie would not have had the same impact anywhere else. I saw the movie 'in New York, and can honestly say I was one of the few people who got teary-eyed in the beginning when they were showing clips of the city, and not at the end when the entire movie theater was bawling their eyes out. To this day, I get teary-eyed whenever I hear the song "Streets of Philadelphia." I think it all comes down to pride. As long as jt is not taken to extremes, pride can be a good thing. It makes people feel like they belong. It makes people feel good about themselves. Pride causes people to stick together in a crisis. It causes people to be unified, or at least feel like they are unified. Pride can cause someone to defend someone else, or for them to be defended. Pride can have powerful results. It is the reason why we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It is the reason why, although I did not feel this way, George Bush was so popular after the Persian Gulf War. It is the reason why Puerto Ricans parade down Fifth Avenue every June. It is the reason why the Gay Games exist.

Pride is the reason why Philadelphians love dance music and Lenny Dykstra. I spent a month in Washington D.C. last summer, and the thing that struck me the most was that so many people had lived there their whole lives and hated it. I did not get a sense of unity or pride the whole time I was there. I did not get a sense that anyone, outside of the tourists, really wanted to be there. I had a great time in the District of Columbia, but the atmosphere is totally different from anything I have experienced up here. So, rest assured my fellow Philadelphian friends and classmates, your city has captured my heart. But, my hometown will always be New York. There is no place like home.

Once you book jobs, that's when your manager, agent or both get a cut in the dough. I definitely want acting on camera to be my career, or I would not be spending so much time and effort on it. It does get hard going up to New York, spending three minutes at an audition, then going home. At home, I spend a good amount of time sending postcards, pictures and resumes to agents and others. On weekends, I like to chill out and hang out with my friends. Cabrini is a fun place to be and I love taking the course here. Cabrini has an awesome atmosphere. I really want to thank Nancy Gardner and Cathy Yungmann for helping me to fit in. I am really glad to be able to be here. I have never been in a place where everyone is so friendly. They must be doing something right!

make sure that you do not give anyone money up front. There are some places that guarantee you will become a star if you just get your picture taken with them. You should always be able to get pictures taken anywhere. Also, be careful of phony auditions. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.

My name is Dave Martel and I live in Rosemont. I am in the 11th grade and am taking a course at Cabrini College. I am interested in acting, TV, movies and commercials. Because of this, I need to have a flexible schedule. B'eing enrolled in Radnor High School full time does not work out for me because I miss a good amount of school going to auditions in New York City. Catching up on the work would be too big of a burden~ and Radnor High School would complain about my days absent. It was just last year that I started independent schooling, which is not the same as home schooling. I have never been taught at home, and am totally _against it because it separates you from the real world. Independent schooling for me means getting my credits in a different way than taking high school classes. My schedule consists of a gym credit by taking Lifeguard Education at Radnor High School, an English credit by taking Video Production for Business and Education here at Cabrini and a math credit by taking Algebra 2 at Upattinas school in Glenmoore, Pa. For my other credits, I am working on getting an internship at KYW-TV 3. With independent schooling, I will still get a regular high school diploma. A lot of people assume it is some gifted program, but it is not. Anyone can do independent schooling. I guarantee you, more people would be doing it if they knew about it. I do feel out of place with my crazy schedule, and it gets really hard sometimes to explain it when somt-one asks. People really are confused by it. But, I am already on the path to success _and I can not get off it now. When I go to college, I am doing the same as everybody else. I will just have to figure out where to space in those auditions.
I have been taking acting classes on and off for over three years at the Actor's Center in Philadelphia. It is a really great place. At the Actor's Center, I have taken classes for on-camera commercials, voice and acting. After almost two years of classes, my teacher thought I was ready to meet with a manager. I signed with a manager and started going to auditions in New York City. I mainly went on feature film auditions. At an audition, you go into a waiting room, sign in and wait your turn. You usually read in front of one person at a movie audition. There might also be a camera person there taping you. I am usually not too nervous doing these. If you are being considered, you get a call back as to where you go to read again. On the most interesting call back I had, I got to meet Damon Wayans because he was starring in and producing a movie, '.'Major Payne." Other than that, when going on any auditions for movies, you really do not meet any big stars. This is because so many people try out. I got my first break a little more than a year ago. I auditioned for Nickelodeon's "Adventures of Pete & Pete," which was going to become a half hour sitcom. A month went by before they called to tell me I got the part. The part was for a reoccurring character named Teddy Foresman, one of Pete's friends. That season, I filmed four episodes. We filmed in the New York City area. Getting back to "Pete & Pete," I started working on the show again this summer. It is a lot different filming during the summer because you do not have to go to a tutor on the set. So far, I have been in three episodes this season. I am hoping to be in more in the next few months. When I first got the part, I really had no idea that I would still be on the show now. They have even released two episodes on video. Lately, I have been going on a lot· of auditions for radio commercials. Around a month ago, I recorded two commercials for Binaca breath spray. And right at this moment, I am on hold for a National Epilepsy Association commercial. "On hold," or first refusal, means that they would like to reserve me, but are not booking me yet.

Banquethonors best and brightest by Paul Marturano staff writer "We honored some of Cabrini's finest tonight We arealwayshappyto celebratethe gifts of our students," said Dr. Antoinette Iadarola,presidentof thecollege,to first-year studentswhoreceivedscholarshipsatthescholarshipbanquetin the mansionon Sept.30.
by Jane Van lngen editorial & op-ed editor Insufficientdiversity in the student body and on the faculty, the need for technological ,advance and improved library facilities are three major problems found in the Middle States self-study,a self-evaluationthat every college in the country must undergo once a decade. In the spring of 1989, there were several incidents of racial tension on Cabrini's campus. Since then, the student developmentoffice has taken a number of steps to prevent further racial tension. Programs have been presented to raise the awareness of relations between culturalgroups on campus. Also, the possibilityof establishinga minority alumni mentoring program has been explored. The development and activities of minoritystudentorganizations,suchas Ethnic StudentAlliance and the InternationalClub, have been supported. Workshops on racial tensionsand issueshavebeenheld atfirst-year students' orientations. Despite these efforts, diversity on campus is stilllow.Therecruitmentof studentsof color and of minority faculty and staff remains a critical need for the division and the college. The Middle States document states that in orderto trulyofferstudentsa liberaleducation opportunitiesfor studentsto interactwith indi~ vidualsdifferentfrom themmustbe expanded. CampusMinistryhas long been a successful group on campus and was praised in the Middle States self-evaluation.However,con. cems were addressedabout the group's tendency to be identifiedas the sole defender of the Catholicfaith at Cabrini.AlthoughCabrini is a Catholic college, there are many people who practicedifferentfaiths.Cabrinineeds to sensiblyconsiderthe needsof its non-Catholic students, as well as focus on the Catholic natureofits programs.TheInterfaithComrnitt~ has been documentedas a step in the right direction. The counselingservices is another group that, in the last ten years, has gained more popularity and publicity. However, all three counselorsare white females,and this lack of diversitymay serve to hinderthe appealof the departmentto some members of the student community.Graduatepracticumstudentsand other staffingoptions need to be investigated to broaden backgroundsof the staff.

The informationsuperhighwayhasrecently been a hot topic,and Cabrinihas been a part of it. It is a goal of the college to accelerateits acquisition of new information technologies and establish a process that will promote the integration of these technologies,accordingto the Middle States self-study. The academicaffairsofficehas already enhancedandupdatedfacilitiesinthe newsroom, radio stationand TV studio, in addition to providing adequate work stations and licensees for electronic tools in the library. Other technologicalplans include providing trainingfor all facultywho wish to incorporate instructional technology into their courses and purchasing appropriate computerfacilitiesfor all facultywho wish to use them in their classes. It has been suggested that the current requirementfor computercompetencybe exploredin order to determineif advanced coursesshouldbe requiredof undergraduate students.Also, installinga full Internet connection is in the works both in the computerlab and on the campus at large. Facilities Technology,aswellashours,areimportant issues for the library. Although the libraryis open8Thoursperweekduringthe year, versus 76 hours in 1984, studentsurveys conductedlast year requestedlonger hours. The library is open until 11 p.m. every night, a half an hour later than last year. The library·still closes at 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and does not open until 1 p.m. on the weekends. The librarycurrentlyhas two microfilm readers,four computers,card catalogsand First Search and Internet for on-line searches.The MiddleStatesdocumenthas stated that the numbers and types of academic programsand increasedavailability and use of electronic resource~will continue to directlyaffect the budget. The staffof the libraryneedsto maintain a high level of skills in order to instruct studentsand faculty._The staffmust be able to adequatelymeet the needs of the diverse student population.An automatedcatalog and circulationsystemis needed.Adequate and up-to-dateresourcesand facilities,and adequateandpro_fessionalstaffingare critical to the forwardmovementof the library. Currently,the academicaffairsoffice is planning on providingelec,tronicmethods of searching,indexing,recordingand ana~ lyzing data. The Middle States self-study is a way for the college to look at itself and say what is good about the college and what needs to be improved. It was organized by Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice president of enrollment management, and Dr. Margaret McGuiness, chairperson of the religion department.

Sybilwastheonewho involv~ thefamilyintheentireCountDracula arts and entertainmenteditor Count Dracula stole the show at The Walnut Street Theatre on opening night. Blood-sucking fangs and wit left audience members in stitches. "Count Dracula,"written by Ted Tiller in 1971 and based on Bram Stoker's popular 19th centurynovel "Dracula,"was a result of friends in need who had sold tickets to "Dracula" only to find out afterwardthat the rights were withheld. Tiller worked fast. The result is a funnyplay, filledwith stage props, sound effects and special effects. Occasionally,the sound of the effect occurred a minute after the actual occurrence, but delightful dialoguehelped the audience return their concentrationto the play. mess by inviting him over for dinner. She figuredDraculato be her next victim. Dracula had eyes for her sister, Mina. The audiencefound out the rule of vampiresnear the end of the play. Draculawas unable to be uninvitedonce a person welcomeshim into their home. The plot centered on Mina, a beautiful young woman, played by Lisa Gunn. Gunn first entered upstage with a brilliant pink gown and a matchingcollar. The viewerwas in tune with Mina while she tried to hide her puncture wounds. Dracula continually attempts to suck the blood from Mina, and usually succeeds. He uses hypnotic powers to accomplish his goal. phcto by GM)' Goodsl6ln "CountDracula,n by Ted Tiller,plays at the WalnutStreet Theatrenow until Nov. 6.

"Count Dracula" used dim lights, bright spots and deepcolorsto focusthe audience's attention. Lightswere not used as tattletales,giving the plot and direction away before the actual scene begins. The lights and sound helped capture the mood of the scene. The director staged a fight with actual stunts, and successfullydrewthe audienceto the action.

Count Dracula is the hit of the night. Larger than life movement. a loud resonating voice and slick looks add to his appeal. MarkLamura(Dracula)was an Emmynominee for the soap opera "All My Children" and recentlyfinishedShakespearein the Park in Philadelphia. He had the ability to pull off an entertainingand believable characterization. Professor Van Helsing, played by Victor Raider-Wexler,demandedthe spotlight. His comedic timing was brilliant. A seasoned actor, Raider-Wexler carried the others through the unpolished spots. His natural ability and ease of his character brought comfort to the audience. In contrast,JonathanHarker,played by J. Paul Boehmer, gave the viewer an uneasy experience. Over-characterizationor nervousnessmade this actor seem awkwardand out of place. His long strides and momentum never changed throughout the entire performance. His defensive stance restricted any opportunities to get to know this character.

by Regina MIiier arts and entertainment editor Two nights prior to his Cabrini comedy show, Steve Shaffer calls all the way from Los Angeles. He has a lot on his mind. Henry Shaffer, his 3-yearold son, can be heard in the background. "He said I should say 'Bony'," Shaffer said. "You know, the character on 'Weinerville'?" His-family remains in Los Angeles while he travels the comedy circuit. "The road is rough," Shaffer said. "I still like what I do, I just miss him when I'm gone." Recently, Shaffer has had his share of heartache. Dennis Wolfberg, 46, a friend and stand-up comic, died on Oct. 3 , three days prior to this East Coast tour. Shaffer said Wolfberg was around for a long time, and one of the best stand-ups. Shaffer deals with sadness through his art. "Performing is usually the best thing for anything," Shaffer said. "Performing or being creative is always a way out." Coast-to-coast touring fills Shaffer's life. He is a Penn State graduate and performed in a play at Cabrini 17 years ago. Now, colleges are on his route. He visits colleges frequently. "Most college students are really there, supportive and bright," Shaffer said. He explained the instant approval from comedic performances. "Comedy is interactive," Shaffer said. "People laugh, I speak, people laugh, I speak. They approve or disapprove, always letting me know." His art is described as varied. He sings, does voices, observes and tells jokes, among other things. "I do other venues, too," Shaffer said. That is being humble. Shaffer has performed on "The Late Show," "Murphy Brown," "The Tonight Show," "Show time's Comedy Club," MTV's "Half Hour Comedy Hour," "An Evening at the Improv," "Comedy Tonight" and "Caroline's Comedy Hour." His recent list includes "The A List" on Comedy Central and "Comic Strip Live." A pilot called "House Party" is on his list of endeavors. "He is known for his voices and impressions," Dave Cohen, owner of Dancing Bear Productions and Shaffer's college tour promoter, said. "And he is one of my best friends." Retirement and rest seem far away for this comedian. "I've been in the business for a while," Shaffer said. "I really had shots, I'm in it for the long haul. One way or another I'll be doing writing or acting or performing." In Cohen's 1994-95 campus comedy catalog, it details Shaffer's expressions and body language as "diverse." Shaffer will be leaving for Cabrini's comedy night. But who will take care of his son Henry? "His mom was an actress," Shaffer said, "so she understands. She is now just raising our son. We are very lucky." Shaffer will perform in the Widener Center Gathering Area on Thursday, Oct. 6 at 9 p.m.
"The overall concept of the design is based on the philosophy of symbiosis," Kurokawa said. "Japan is a traditional country with many traditional elements, producing high-tech products." "The patterns of the platforms represent a quotation of Japanese aesthetics, which appear to be chaotic but have an order within," Kurokawasaid. The center of the exhibition space serves as an information area, with large Plexiglas panels that identify five aesthetic concepts of Japanese design: simplicity, asymmetry, craftsmanship, compactness and humor. "I come to the art museum all the time and I have never seen a display quite like this one," said David Listington, 36, of Haddonfield, N.J. The exhibition also includes two intet:iors. One is a tatami room (named for its traditional flooring of thick, woven straw mats), which is installed with electrical appliances to suggest the cultural conflicts brought by industrialization and technology in the 1950s and 1960s. The other one is a more recent "oneroom mansion," an example of a self-contained studio apartment showing changes brought by urbanization and high-rise living. Also built into the exhibition is a small theater where films profile Japanese designers. There are also short films on subjects ranging from craft techniques to commercials. The exhibition also contained pieces from Mazda, Yamaha, Seiko, Sharp, JVC, Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Tendo and Bandai. Bandai is the toy company that makes the Power Rangers. The exhibit also contained pieces from other famous artists and designers. According to Mary Hart from Springfield, Pa., she has been to many events at the art museum and bas never seen one like this ever. "I recommend that people come see this presentation," Hart said. "It could be a while before you see another one like it."
Another movie well known for its special effects is "The Mask." JimCarrey,from the televisioncomedy show "In Living Color," is a timid bank teller who finds a mysterious mask. When he puts on the mask, he is transformed. He changes into a type of cartoon character with a huge grin and an obnoxious attitude. Carrey is the reason that Ken Konopka, a junior, went to see "The Mask." "Jim Carrey made the movie because he is so funny," Konopka said. "It was just a crazy movie." Konopka also said that the movie did have a plot. It was not just another movie with stupid humor. Oneof theaction-packedfilms was "Speed," with Keanu Reeves. Reeves, the surfing F.B.I. agent in 1991's "Point Break", attracted Maria Lattanzio, a sophomore, to the theater. "My sister didn't even like Keanu Reeves, but went see the movie anyway," Lattanzio said, "and now she loves him because he was so awesome in this movie." "That movie kept me on the edge of my seat," Stephanie Eberhardt, a junior, said. "It was really suspenseful." Eberhardt also added that Keanu Reeves' acting talent showed in this movie. Amy Hummel, a first-year student, saw "Natural Born Killers". "I thought it was kind of psychedelic," Hummel said. "They would show a black and white picture on the screen and switch to a coloredone,andthen o backto a blackand white one." "Natural Born Killers" stars Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis as the 'shrooming couple who travel through the country on a violent killing escapade. This movie has caused some CQntroversy due to the support the murderers receive throughout the movie. Mickey and MalloryKnox, the killing characters, have people defending and admiring them during the movie. Oliver Stone's directing strategies include distorted cinematography and random pictures flashing on the screen. These techniqueshelp set the movie's mood and allows the audience to see a better viewpoint of the characters. ''True Lies" was another fliCrkbased on an adventurous couple. Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzeneggerare husband and wife in this action packed film. Frank Taormina, a sophomore, said it was a great action movie and it was funny. "It was a little far fetched though," Taormina said. "Some of the stuff was too much." Although the price of a movie ticket makes most college students complain about their limited budgets, at least some have found a few that are worth the price. Stay tuned for more reviews on future re_,:

Forrest spends an interesting life meeting with a few U.S. presidents, entertainingpeople with his talent for ping-pong, busting the Watergate Scandal and teaching Elvis Presley how to dance. These experiences are only a small amount of the many unforgettable things he has done.
by John Lindsay staff writer Can you imagine an art exhibition displaying works by Sony, Honda, Nintendo, and, yes, even the company that makes Power Rangers? Well, go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art from now until Nov. 20, and you'll be in for a surprise. "Japanese Design: A Survey Since 1950" is an exhibit now showing at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Honda and Mazda displayed earlier models of their cars. Sony displayed such pieces as a Walkman and stereos. Canon and Nikon displayed some cameras. The Bandai company displayed small toy robots. You'll see an exhibition that is the first anywhere in the world to survey the history of modem Japanese design over the past 45 years. The only place the exhibition is appearing in the United States is Philadelphia. Then the pieces travel to Italy, Germany, France and finally back to Japan. "This exhibit was totally different than what I had been expecting," Jeffrey Warren, 21, ·of Society Hill, said. "It was a lot of modem technology on display." iiriU•be
The architect of the installation, Kisho Kurokawa, and the designer of the catalogue, Mitsuo Katsui, have made their own contributions to modem Japanese design. Kurokawa, a world-renowned architect and one of Japan's most prominent theorists on the subject, has designed the stunning installation for the exhibition. The dominant design element of the exhibition is the use of curved platforms along the perimeter of the entire special exhibition galleries. The platform profiles follow fractal mathematical patterns, and at the same time, the irregular shapes created suggest Japan's rugged island coastlines.

by Lisa Hines staff writer Heavy drugs, sweet romance, intense adventure and great humor were the attractions for this past summer's movies that were out in the theaters. A slow-witted, kind Alabama man who shares his incredible life experiences with people while waiting at the bus stop, "Forrest Gump" is played by Tom Hanks. Sally Field takes the role as his loving mother. Dawn Johnson, a sophomore, said she thought it was a really good movie. "The previews made me want to go see it," Johnson said. "I thought it had great special effects." Forrest Gump bad a little bit of everything. Humorous situations, emotional tear-jerking parts and clips and reenactments of memorable moments in history make this movie successful.
"Japanese Design" celebrates the achievements of artists and designers for industry, interiors, packaging, graphics, textiles and fashion. It charts their progress from the early postwar years to the present with a degree unparalleled in other industrial nations. Japanese designers and artists draw upon ancient craft traditions and visual forms that link them to earlier generations, while simultaneously pursing rapid technological innovation. Their designs encompass a broad and complex range of ideas and inspirations that are intricately interwoven. Still understood less for its artistic expressionthanfor the technology it incorporates, Japanese design is presented here in 250 examples. Together with characteristic design principles displayed on transparent walls, two schematic living spaces and a variety of films suggest the sociocultural contexts in which these objects were created.

• The night's events kicked off at 8 p.m. with a presidential reception at Shadows Night Club. Following the reception, it was time to move to Lily Langtry's in the Sheraton Hotel. Following dinner, the 1994 Homecoming Queen and King were announced. This year, Maryanne Walker and Steve Murray, king and queen of '93, passed the crown to seniors Doug Eppler and Tammy Pffeinberger. According to DeFruscio, "The alumni office got in touch with me on getting our alumni involved with family weekend. We got in touch with Steve and Marianne and they were very excited about coming back for homecoming. We're hoping Doug and Tammy will come back next year to crown the new king and queen." "The dinner/dance gave families a chance to mingle with other families and become a real part of the Cabrini family," Katina Corrao, a junior, said. Frankie Firneno, a senior and Kappa member, said, "Everybody had a great time. A lot of students from campus came to at 10:30 p.m. just to dance and have fun." "Kappa did a great job this year. They were required to do one hour of service over the weekend but many members did more. They really showed Kappa spirit," Fimeno said. "The dinner/dance was as good as usual.

They watch in wonder and surprise as they make magic with soap and water. by CarolineCroley~ managingeditor With rain steadily falling Saturday morning, many activities at this year's Family Weekend looked as if they would be washed away. Events such as the Oktoberfest lunch and the OomPah band were forced to move indoors. The cafeteria was set in a festive atmosphere and offered authentic German food such as frankfurters, hamburgers, roast beef, German potato salad and a variety of deserts. Many lacrosse mothers used the tables left under the big white tent and provided food such as sandwiches, homemade brownies, chicken legs and other snacks for the spectators "Lunch was very nice. It was more than just a lunch," Marianne DeFruscio, director of student activities, said. "There was music, Will Saccamano, a first-year student, dressed up as the Cabrini Cavalier, people did the chicken dance and an $85 raffle went to Dr. Dawn Middleton, assistant professor of education. Other features of the day included a silent auction where the college president Antionette Iadorola, bid on and won a red racing bicycle. There was also an open forum with Iadarola, Dr. Carter Craigie's, professor of English/communications, telling of the Cabrini legends and the dinner/dance where seniors Doug Eppler and Tammy Pfeiffenberger were crowned Homecoming Kingand Queen '94. At 1:30 p.m., on Saturday, parents and family had the opportunity to meet Iadarola and her cabinet in the Grace Hall board room, for an open forum. This discussion focused an athletic facility, the new dorms and the new houses. Across campus, roughly 100 people packed the Mansion dining room to hear the infamous Cabrini Legends told by folklorist, Craigie. what these tales are saying." To create the mood, Craigie had the lights turned off and the windows shut tight. The only source of light was the single candle that dimmed the room. He also added that he was delighted to see the Moores, a Cabrini family from New Jersey, who traveled to Cabrini to hear the legends for the past 11 years. "I taught, in order, Jennifer Moore, Jeffrey Moore and finally Melissa Moore," i'i Craigie said.

On a positive note, 25 employment opportunities would open up, with the majority of these positions being filled by local people. Pizzeria Uno owns and manages 120 restaurants nationwide, and this particular site would bring in almost $2 million in annual sales. The new Pizzeria Uno Restaurant seems to be not only sparking the interests of nearby residents, but nearby students as well. Lancaster Avenue seems to be the hot spot for pizza places, and Cabrini is close by close. The street has also become the hot spot where students order from. "The addition of Pizzeria Uno will be good because people want variety. They don't want to always be ordering from the same place, said Mandi Hopta, a sophomore, they want different tastes."
by StephanieCaldwell staff writer Pizza places can be found everywhere Lancaster Avenue, but there seems to be room for one more. After receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission, Tredyffrin supervisors gave the okay to open a takeout facility to Pizzeria Uno Restaurant. The new pizza shop will appear at 1676 Lancaster Ave., in Paoli. Along with the opening of a new business, however, comes problems. It is the supervisor' concerns that the new food service will increase traffic with its addition of a drive-through or delivery service, considering Lancaster Avenue is a well-traveled area. Another concern, voiced by a nearby property owner, is that the new restaurant might produce a "noisy nightclub atmosphere." In the restaurant's defense, Kurt Hoffman, director of real estate for the restaurant chain, responded to these concerns. "We're not a fast-food restaurant, a drive-through or a nightclub," Hoffman said. He added that the restaurant would most likely close by midnight, too early to attract a nightclub crowd. Take-out, on the other hand would only take up about seven or eight percent of the business. No more than 30 or 40 additional cars a day would be involved. To simplify the traffic flow, three parking stalls will be designated "15minute time limit" zones. Board members wanted an alternative exit route because of the increasing traffic that would swamp North Valley Road. Before the Uno hearing, the supervisors approved a revised plan for the Brentwood division. In this plan, a temporary access road onto North Valley Roatl

First-year students Fahamesha Conway and Michele McGowan seem to be on the same wave length when talking about the new establishment. "I like the food and think it will attract good business," Conway said. "It'll definitely get good business," McGowan said, "especially college students if it's cheap." All college students are not in favor of the new Uno opening on Lancaster Avenue. "I think there are too many pizza places now. There's no need for another one," said Nancy Kraus, a sophomore. Although problems still have to be settled between the supervisors and Pizzeria Uno Restaurant, the new take-out restaurant is set to begin building its new establishment soon.
An officer was called to Woodcrestby a female studentwho said someonehad tried to hit her and her roommate,but she thought he had left the building. The officer found the suspect in the stairwell and a verbal dispute and an attempted shoving match occurred between the suspect and one of the two female students.

But news for every Cabrini student: There is no men's cross country team this year.
Coach O 'Hora said he thinks it is difficult to recruit students for the men's team because once they are here, they become distracted. "You don't see the drive on campus to be exceptional anymore. Students just want to get by," O'Hora said. "A declining attitude [towards cross country] has permeated through the campus." Everyday, people run up to five miles for their personal enjoyment. Cross country is more than just miles, it is a team activity that is also a lot of fun. Although men have run to five miles at a meet, women only need to run 3.1 miles. O'Horasaid he feels the particular rule should be changed so that both men and women run the same•distance. Cabrini runners are very dedicated when it comes to practice. Other schools build their class schedules around athletics, but Cabrini does the opposite. Cross country runners meet at 12:30 p.m. to practice, giving up their lunch breaks. The qevotion of the runners to the sport does not stop there. Each student has to wake up at 6 a.m. on Saturdays to compete at various invitationals. Students who run cross country are leaders, according to coach O'Hora. They want to accomplish a lot of goals. O'Hora explains that a study was conducted by the NCAA, and some of the smartest on colleges campuses were also track runners and members of the cross country teams. "There is no one stupid running cross country," O'Hora said. He points out a typical cross country runner, El Mostafa -~r Nechchadi. He said, "He is dedicated, a good student and a pleasant person. He wants to get things done." No one has to yell at him, he yells at himself," O'Hora adds. Despite the fact that Cabrini does not have a men's cross country team as of yet, O'Hora has not given up hope. He said Cabrini needs to build and get more participation from the students. Right now, his concentration is on the women's team, and its potential to win the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. This Saturday, Oct. 1, the women's cross country team participated in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Small Colleges Championships. The goal of the women's team is to be ranked in the top five out of 18 colleges. Such competitive teams as Haverford College, Trenton State and Allentown College will also be in the event. On Saturday, Oct. 29, the Cavs will host an invitational, Metropolitan Small Colleges Championships, at the Belmont Plateau located in Philadelphia. The NCAA championships were held on this very same track due to its reputation as a very difficult course.

Coach O'Hora made appeals on campus, but it is difficult to recruit when the team does not have a visible team. O'Hora needs five students in order to compete, but Cabrini is at a somewhat of a disadvantage. We do not have a track, Instead, the cross country team has to use the track at Eastern or Radnor High School to practice. But in the past, this has never been a big problem.

THE EAGLES BEAT THE NINERS, 40-8! Charlie Garner, if he can manage to stay healthy, looks like the game-breaking back the Eagles have been lacking since Wilbert Montgomery left over ten years ago. The defense, steadily improving, held the Niner juggernaut to eight points. Randall Cunningham continued to prove to his doubters that he can be a pocket quarterback. In case you have not noticed, Randall has not been running this season. The Eagles are 3-1, and Cunningham's touchdown to interception ratio is 7:1. On Sunday, the Eagles took apart the "best team in football." It is too early to go overboard, but this Eagles team could take over that title in two weeks. This week, the Washington Redskins, one of the worst teams in football, roll into town. It is the type of game that the old Eagles would blow. We shall see this Sunday how different this team is. The following week, the Birds go to Dallas. Then, we will see how good they :ire,

Last week in the world of sports by Donna M. Shaeffer staff writer QNHL Monday, Sept. 26, players and negotiators from the National Hockey League met in an attempt to come to an agreement over labor disputes. The scheduled season is set to begin on Saturday, Oct. 1. No agreement was reached. However, talks are scheduled to continue on Tuesday, Sept. 27. According1?Commissioner Gary Bettman, the deadline for postponing the start of the season would be Friday, Sept. 30, if an agreement is not reached by then. Wednesday, Sept.28, the NHL players association reject a contract proposal. The pro~sed plan included a. salary surcharge which was less than the originally proposed one. The union wants a five percent tax on all salaries, no matter what the size of the team payrolls might be. The union also proposed a five percent surcharge on gate receipts. This money would be combined and given to teams which qualify for subsidies. Although no talks are scheduled, both sides would like to make a deal.
The San Francisco 49ers are one of the best teams in football. In the last five years, they have won two Super Bowls, and have been to the NFC Championship Game the other three times. They have Jerry Rice, who has scored the most touchdowns in NFL history, and who is probably the best wide receiver ever to play in the history of the game. They have Steve Young, who, as their quarterback, was the league MVP last season, and is the highest rated passer in the history of the NFL. In the off-season, they manipulated the salary cap better than any other team, managing to sign free agents Ken Norton, Rickey Jackson, Richard Dent, Toi Cook and Gary Plummer to bolster their defense. Then they added De ion Sanders. They have Ricky Watters, John Taylor and Brent Jones, all of whom have Pro Bowl skills. Simply put, they are favored to win the Super Bowl. On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles went into Candlestick Park to play the Niners. The final score was 40-8. That may have been expected. The Eagles won. That definitely was not.
delayeduntilOct.15. Neithersidehascome to an agreement over labor disputes. The players wanted to start the season under the expired collective bargaining contract. The o~ners, on the other hand, did not agree to this. Talks were scheduled to continue on Tuesday, Oct.4. The season is set to begin on Oct. 15, according to commissioner Gary Bettman. QNBA The NBA is also in the midst of negotiat~g lab~r disputes. Some of the pressing 1Ssues mvolved are the elimination of the college draft, restricted free agency and the elimination of the salary cap. The players are in favor of eliminating the college draft, aswell as restricted free agency and the salary cap. The owners, however, are in favor of keeping the previously mentioned issues. Former basketball great, Larry Nance, of the Cleveland Cavaliers announced his retirement today. Nance has had continuing ailments in his right knee, and after 13 years playing professional basketball, he decided to retire. Nance lead the league in career shotblocking among forwards with 2,027.

QNFL On Sunday, Oct. 2 the Eagles and the 49ers were matched up for an afternoon of great football. The Eagles defense showed their strength by bringing down the 49ers' Steve Young three times, one of which was a safety. San Francisco suffered one of their worst losse~ with a score of 40-8. The Eagles combmed for both an excellent offensive and defensive game. Eagles' quarterback Randall Cunningham successfully completed 20 of 29 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles' record now stands at 3-1 which places them in a three-way tie for firs; in the East with the Cowboys and the Giants. Soccer Sat. 10/8 Swarthmore H Tues. 10/11 MillersvilleUniv.
