2 EDITORIAL Friday, Oct. 28, 1994
It is that time of year again. With less than two weeks remaining until Election Day 1994, politicians from across the country are out in full force, beating the tom-toms for health care reform, stiffer crime penalties and more prisons to solve all of the nation's problems. In this age of information superhighways and media infiltration, most Americans believe they are well informed in regards to the numerous political and social issues facing our society today. But are they really?

_According to an unscientific poll administered to 100 Cabrini students on Thursday, Oct. 20, 69 percent of the respondents said they did not know which candidates were campaigning for an elected position in their home state this year. Furthermore, 18 percent of the respondents said they are not registered to vote. What does this say about the present state of the democratic process? Too often, we hear that many Americans are frustrated and disappoipted with the entire U.S. political system. Some argue that today's politicians are overly dependent on the forces of money and big business, while others believe these leaders work for the success of the moment, not for the times to come. Besides, will one vote really make a difference? It can, but only if it is a vote cast after much thought and careful research. Before Nov. 8, make use of the information provided by the print and electronic media in order to determine which candidate stands for an issue you firmly believe in or is most likely to bring about a change you want to see. After all, these elected officials are supposed to work for us. The future of America rests in your hand. Midnight Madness• was a huge success this year! SGA was involved in planning it and did a great job. There was free food, a big screen TV and a WYBF giveaway.
ah Congratulations to the women's soccer team who made the PAC championships. The team has come a long way from being a club last year. While it was unfortunate that a fight broke out in front of House 6 last weekend, security responded quickly to the call and the situation quickly got resolved. The Haunted House was another popular event on campus last weekend, as it usually is. The event raised more money than ever before. Sheila Brady, features editor , • You see, because from the sidelines, I can see it. One hour before the moment, the best moment, I watched it from the sidelines. Against the second best team in the country, our team played at its best. Each player alone was tough, but together possessed an ironic gracefulness. Thirty minutes before the moment, the score was tied. It was only one brief moment in my life, Fifteen minutes before it, my heart began but in the past 20 years, it was the best to pound as I ran onto the damp field. We moment. Two years before the moment, one of the best players on the team asked me to come and try it out. Two of my friends were going to the gym to try it too, so I figured "why not?" Well, the two friends backed out, but I decided to go anyway. It was an Irish sport I had watched all my life, but had never played. The sport was Gaelic football. It is similar to soccer, but you may use your hands. For a few months, I simply could not get the hang of it. Our coach was good but tough. I wanted to quit so many times because the training sessions were so vigorous. The pains and aches in my legs and arms started going away within a couple of months. But that summer was torture, training in the midst of the heat wave. We went far that summer, winning the divisional championships, but losing in the finals. That was a year before the moment. Some members of the team cried in sadness and disappointment because seven months of hard work ended with a loss. Some talked about what went wrong. Most ofus, however, smiled and realized that we had come so far as a team. What I remember most is how the other players reminded the rest of the substitutes and me, that we were just as important as the players on the field. And they really meant it. For a year before the moment, those players had become some of the best friends I could ask for. There was never a separation of the skillful, talented players with ones like me who did not have the talent, but whose hearts were dedicated. Everyone stucktogether,like sisters. Seven months before the moment, we began training again. I was determined this yearthatl would become an excellent player. I didn't. I tried and tried, and only got a little better. I got to play some more. More importantly, though, everyone encouraged me and made such a big deal about my little accomplishments. Being part of this team was different than any other team I had ever been a part of. Everyone lived their nine-to-five lives, 6ut in training and social settings, we were buddies. No judgments were passed whether a player was rich or poor, talented or not talented, beautiful or not-so-beautiful. I could be me. The night before the moment, our coach called ameeting at 9 p.m., in a room of the hotel in which we were staying. He told us the first reason he called the meeting was to keep us out of t)Je bar. The second reason he called the meeting was to bring the team together before the game. He gave us a chance to reflect on the past months' training and games and what had gotten us this far. He asked for constructive criticism. Everyone was quiet and calm, and spoke with kindness to each other on what could be improved. The team didn't seem to know that it was the best in America. I remember nearly choking on the lump of pride in my throat as I told them that I wished they could only see themselves out there on the field. were ahead by eight points and on a roll, so the subs got to play. Four minutes before it, the commentator announced there were four minutes left. Two minutes to go and my bottom lip quivered. In the next 120 seconds, I don't know what happened. It is all a blur. Then the whistle blew. We won. I looked over at my friend and screamed. We ran toward each other and shared a hug that turned out to be more like a tackle. We joined the rest of the team at the 50-yard line. We jumped, we screamed, we hugged until it hurt. Then our captain stood in front of one thousand pairs of eyes in that south Chicago park and accepted the North American Championship Cup. The lump in my throat rose as she held the cup up so high, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So I did both. And so did the rest of the team. Maybe that is what made the moment so special. The team. Everyone needs their own team. Whether it is a group of friends, roommates, or co-workers, everyone needs that group of people in their life. The group who accepts you for who you are, no questions asked. The group who will include you in the losses and the wins. The group who you can struggle with and hope with for your best moment.

Name
Gerri Brauckmann, continuing education student Imagine for a moment a war so silent that' the human ear can not hear it. It is a war so deadly that it attacks your every defense. It is a battle that you know from the beginning that you are destined to lose. It is a battle that is killing hundreds of thousands of people in the world each year regardless of age, sex or race. Peace from the battle comes only from death. The battle I am talking about is the killer disease known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a disease which impairs the body's • ability to ward off infection by attacking and destroying the body's immune system. This virus is transmitted by blood or other body fluids such as semen, and may be contracted through sexual intercourse, unsanitary I.V. needles and/or blood products. Despite all the experi~ental drugs in use in the United States, there is no cure for this deadly disease. Ignorance and fear led me to community service at Betak, the only nursing home facility in Pennsylvania for people with AIDS, located at 7141 McCallum St. in the West Mount Airy section of Philadelphia. The home of Betak is a huge, old stone house donated to the facility by the Lutheran Church of Germantown. No AIDS patient is ever turned away from Betak. Most of the people here are abandoned by their family, friends and loved ones and have come to Betak to live and die in dignity. Some of the residents are drug users, some are homosexuals and some are heterosexual. The majority are African American, the minority are white. Most of the residents are young, but AIDS knows no age. There are males and females in this house, with each of the healthier patients having their own private rooms. These residents are allowed to roam around the house with the exception of the kitchen, which is off li!Djts. Likewise, the residents can sign themselves in and out as they desire. Their only restriction is no drugs or alcohol. If they are caught doing drugs or alcohol, they are punished and/or evicted. Come with me and witness a real life battle. As you enter Betak, the smell or rotting flesh, urine and death hang heavy in the air. The 27 severely ill residents are on the first floor, where th~y are guarded day and night by skilled nurses. -The prognosis for these residents is grim; these residents leave this floor in body bags. Meeting these 27 skeletalremains with flesh stretched across their tired frail figures, one bas to contemplate whether we all play Russian Roulette every time we gamble with a sexual partner or use drugs. With huge eyes, these people look at you and smile. These are eyes which are affected by the disease and lead to partial or total blindness. To really understand the disease, you must meet some of the people. James, a white male approximately 50-years-old in his last stage of AIDS, stole my heart t~e minute I met him. James had a way of making you feel good about life and always wanted to dance and sing for me. At one time, he probably had a real zest for life. Then there was Cynthia, a homosexual male who dressed up as a woman. Cynthia wanted desperately.to be a woman all bis life, and loved having sex with other men. Cynthia, seriously afflicted with the disease, was suffering from dementia. In the bed next to Cynthia was Christine, a black woman. Pictures of her children were arranged on her dresser, surrounded by cards and gifts. A proud mother, she bragged about her son who was about to graduate from high school. Michele, a young black woman in her early 30s was always seen with her hair done and makeup on. Her infectious smile and warm laugh could steal your heart. She was in her early stages of AIDS. Reggie, a 20-something black male, who was more hostile than some, was in his last stage of the disease. There were so. many others whose names I can not remember, but whose faces are seared into my mind". One particular visit to Betak shall stay in my mind and heart forever. In the bed next to James, there was a 50 pound man, his flesh pulled taunt across his skeleton, his eyes rolled back in his head and his mouth agape. His friend prayed out loud and stroked the dying man's arm which was covered with Kaposi Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer which covers the skin and mucous membranes with pink, reddishbrown or blue lesions. Is this what the disease does to a human. I needed air. The room was closing in on me. I thought death was supposed to be peaceful. The man's final hours were not peaceful as he gasped for air, the disease totally annihilating his lungs as he slowly drowned in his own fluid. On my way out of the room, I glanced at the man's chart and learned that his name was "Al." I wish I had never learned his name because now he became human. I ran outside, and tried to stop my tears as the image burned a lasting, impression into my heart. When I regained my composure, I ~ent inside and headed for the second floor to visit Michele, only to be informed by her nurse that she was taken to Temple University Hospital with PCP (Pneumocystis Carinii), a lung disease that occurs in AIDS patients. Saddened by the news of Michele and disturbed by the sight of the dying man, I forced myself downstairs to spend time with Christine. As I left Christine, I noticed that Cynthia's bed was occupied by a new resident" Alice," so I moved on, not wanting to hear the truth. I returned to say good-bye to James only to find him in tremendous pain. You could actually see the pain pulsating through hid frail frame. At that moment, he reached out to hold my hand. Reluctantly, for fear of catching AIDS, I took his hand and squeezed it tightly only to feel his bones cracking under the pressure of my grip. I wanted to run but dared not forfearofhim dying alone. He screamed out in pain that he wanted to die. After what seemed like an eternity, the pain subsided, and he released my hand. With tears in his eyes, he looked at me and smiled, a toothless smile. The disease rots the teeth right out of your mouth, leaving all the roots intact. Likewise, AIDS patients suffer from Thrush, a thick white fungus which covers the mouth and esophagus. I readjusted James' covers, which had become twisted as he withered in pain. It was then that I noticed that James was wearing a diaper. AIDS deteriorates your intestinal system causing incontinence and chronic diarrhea. As I left James and his dying roommate, I rushed to a bathroom to wash my hands. Was it the disease I was trying to wash or was it the reality of death that I was trying to wipe away? I walked to my car in a daze unable to fathom the deadly effects this disease has upon the human mind, body and spirit. As I sat writing this article, I began to realize the extent of my naivete regarding AIDS and its effect on the community. I was amazed to learn that this disease has been around for over 15 years when I assumed that it was a more recent phenomenon, maybe 5 to 8 years in existence. Attending a Catholic high school 15 years ago, I now realize how shielded we were from the harsh realities of the world. While working with these residents, I realized that I had been living my life following the NIMBY theory: Not In My Backyard. I truly thought that this disease could not happen in my circle, but then again, I always believed I was immortal. I thank God that I do not personally know anyone with AIDS, but who knows what tomorrow may bring. How many of us can say the same? After witnessing first hand the devastating effects of this disease, my own awareness has increased significantly. Seeing how : this disease totally annihilates a healthy human being, I can not help but wonder if I : would be as strong emotionally as some of 9 4 • these people. These people probably once followedtheNIMBYtheory. Theluckofthe7 p. m.

Ionlyhopethatthroughthisarticlethatl have been able to educate at least one more person about the seriousness of the disease If not, then I have failed in my endeavor to reach out to others. After spending time with these residents, I have educated myself by facing my fears and destroying my ignorance. All of the people mentioned in this article have since died and gone to their final resting place. Their battle has ended but, in the game oflife, they have lost. Let's not gamble with the game of life.

Student concerned about lack of lightingBeing a senior here at Cabrini, I have experienced some of the changes that have happened on our campus. There •is something that is really bothering me, though. It is the fact that when I walk home to my house on campus, from a class that ends at 9:40 p.m., I walk in almost complete darkness. The fact that it is night time when I come out of class is not my problem. The problem that I have is building a $6 million athletic facility when ¢ere is not adequate lighting to walk back to the houses. I feel the priorities of the school should really be looked at. I thought the safety of the students would be a main concern, but I guess I was wrong. I am sure that an athletic facility is needed, but there are so many other things that need to be taken care of first. I hope whoever has a say in what goes on will read this letter. I hope they will listen to the advice and concerns of the students. Please do not listen to just faculty and staff. Get the students involved too. withheldby editor ,; 1m~youw~l~µt~k, f*~ yl)t1would~e to 'u~ )'Po .,aweh@utlgetH1d pte them'dbwltfor'aij:toapp f % _:.. :::::··:· {}:':* 1:{•,~t f ft f· 1f\:u ~·n 4'ttefS !di 80 $i • , :~tfu>~P~l!

f 4 NEWS Friday, Oct. 28, 1994 Election'94 With Nov. 8 right around the corner, 100 Cabrini students, between the ages of 17 and 53, were polled. These students were asked if they are registered to vote, if they knew the candidates running in the district and the state where they reside. Wereregisteredto vote Knewlocalcandidates

Students elect not to vote by Kelly McDonald editor in chief People who are between 18 and 24 vote the least. Traditionally only one in threein this age group vote in the presidential and mid-term elections. Experts give a number of reasons why the voting percentage in this age group is so low, according to James Hedtke, assistant professor of history and political science. Eighteen-to-24 year olds do not have any specific stakes yet. For example, they are not worried about property value, school districts, healthcare or taxes yet. According to Hedtke, in some instances they are living away from home and have not sunk their roots in yet. Therefore they do not know where to vote or who to vote for. Hedtke said in general people are knowledgeable about the party, image and issues of a candidate, usually in that order. He said when a person casts a vote the question most commonly asked is which ca""ndidateis most like themselves. In today's society where most information about candidates is obtained. through television, voters are susceptible to images, according to Hedtke, even more so than issues. Hedtke said the issues are usually focused on last, and voters do not put much emphasis on issues when choosing a candidate. Candidates do not target college students because they do not vote. Hedtke said candidates are caught in a catch 22 when trying to address issues that concern college students because they do not vote. On the other hand, candidates focus on issues such as Medicare and Social Security based on the fact that the older population votes. He also said candidates do not take time out to visit college campuses because they do not think, based on the 18-24 year old voters, that it is necessary. "If college students want issues that concern them focused on, they first have to exhibit a voting pattern," Hedtke said. According to Hedtke, statistics show if a person is registered her or she will vote. These statistics also show that almost 85 percent of registered voters vote, which according to Hedtke, is the second highest turnout out of 40 democracies. Therefore, Hedtke saic e thinks the first step is registering becaus1.-the next step can not be taken without registration. Hedtke also addressed .the possibility of the plan for Motor Voter Registration. This plan will automatically register people to vote when they apply for a drivers license. The deadline to register to vote was Oct. I 1. The Voter Registration Department closed Oct. 11 and will open again on Dec. 8. According to Director Margaret Urey, state law requires .the Voter Registration Department to close 30 days before elections and can re-open 30 days after elections. Urey said people-who missed the registration deadline have no legal way to vote unless they changed residency after the Oct. 8 deadline. In this case they are eligible to go back to their old district to vote one last time. Another reason not many college students vote, according to Hedtke, is because they do not think they have the ability to change things. He said parents, candidates, schools and peers have to raise self efficacy so college students will feel they can make a difference, therefore causing them to vote. Hedtke said that during Bill Clinton's presidential campaign in 1992 he made a pitch to the college community. "He was a candidate trying to break the catch 22 by trying. to reach into an untapped market," Hedtke said. "He did this by making an appeal to education and service." According to Hedtke, voting is the key to democracy and is the basic way for people to partic_ipate. "Anyone who has my destiny in their hands I want to hold accountable and the basic way to do this is through voting," Hedtke said. "The government is like a car and we are all the drivers." For students who reside at college in a county other than their permanent address, an absentee ballot can be applied for. This allows students to vote for candidates in their home district. According to Josephine Laird, chief clerk at the Bureau of elections, first the application needs to applied for. Then the bureau verifies the registration by checking the ward in which the applicant resides. The student votes and returns the ballot to the bureau where Laird said it is given to the judge of elections on the Saturday before the election. The final step takes place when the ballot is opened at 8 a.m. on the day of the elections.

Examples Hedtke cited were stands on the pro-life and pro-choice issue and death penalty vs. no death penalty. After taking this inventory Hedtke said it is time to prioritize and then find out what the candidates say on each issue.

by Paul Marturano staff writer The next time your door slams closed for no reason, look behind it. The next time you see footprints in the snow that stop, run away. The next time you think that you see a tall man with a black top hat, your eyes may not be deceiving you. "This is the stuff that true legends are made of.,'' Dr. Carter Craigie, a professor of English and communications and also a folkloreexpert,said. If you arewalkingaround campus at night and you see a tall man with a black top hat, your eyes may not be deceiving you. Accordingto Craigie, the ghost of this manbas been seen herebefore.

Prospective students tour campus: Do we really stand out from the crowd? by Donna Schllllffer staffwriter Get Acquainted Day is a time for prospective students and their families to get an inside view of the college and all it has to offer. On Sunday, Oct. 23, this year's first Get Acquainted Day was held. Information sessions, discussions and campus tours were the main attractions of the day. Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, president, stressed the importance of a private education versus a public education; in particular, the importance of Cabrini as a small institution. "We intend to always remain small," Iadarola said. Iadarola also emphasized the significance of the professors in the college. "Professors are like mentors," Iadarola said. She said professors are concerned not only about what happens inside the PART TIME Elwyn Inc.

The students had an opportunity to take advantage of this by meeting and talking one- on-one with professors from the different departments. Prospective students also had the chance to find out what college life is like in a question and answer session held with current Cabrini students. John Mack, a first-year student, was a member of the student panel. " I wanted to share my experience to help others make the right choice," Mack said. He also said it was interesting to see the other side of what he saw last year. Admissions and financial aid sessions, along with an athletic session were also offered. Admissions and financial aid counselors and athletic coaches were available to talk with the students and their families. Despite the rain, campus tours were also offered. "I like what I hear," said Jeffrey Lake, a senior from St. Rose High School in Belmar, N.J. Lake said he heard great things about Cabrini from his high school counselor, so he decided to check it out. Lake said he was leaning toward political science as a possible major.
snowfall of the year, he and two students left the cafeteria after a folk concert and encountered the ghost of the man in the parking lot behind Sacred Heart Hall. Craigie said he approached the man and said, "Can I help you?" Then, the man disappeared but his footprints remained in the snow. "You could see where his footprints stopped in the snow," Craigie said. Craigie said there have been more recent sightings of the man. According to Rita Cellucci, class of '93, she and her fellow classmates, Lorraine Li.11, Missy von Siegel, and Karen Kerchusky, were driving on the Upper Gulph Road entrance into Cabrini during the spring semester of '92 on a rainy night, when Lill, the driver of the car, slammed on the brakes and screamed, "Did I hit him?" According to Lill, she saw a tall, skinny ~an in a black hat and long black coat in front of the car. "It happened so fast, I screamed," Lill said. Cellucci and Kerchusky saw the same thing. "I know that I saw something, it was after midnight. I saw his trench coat and his hat but I couldn't see his face,'' Cellucci said. According to Cellucci, when they got out to see if they had hit someone, there was no one there. "It is almost impossible not to believe because we all saw it," Lill said. Craigie said the girl has also been seen. According to Craigie, a student's mother came to pick her daughter up to go home for the weekend. The student still had one more class to attend and asked her mother to wait in her room. The mother laid down on the student's bed to rest only to be awakened by a young woman asking, " Where is my baby?" The mother replied," Not in here,'' and went back to sleep. Craigie also·said in the attic of the mansion there is a crib. According to Craigie, years ago when the mansion was used for dorms, some students found a compartment in the ceiling that led to the attic. One of the students, whose name is unknown, poked her head through the opening and saw nothing except for a crib. She reached up and grabbed hold of the crib but something pulled it back. She did not go back for the crib. Would you?
Walking to fight AIDS by Joanna Golesh staff writer
There are many different issues in this world that affect members of this society, either individually or as a group. One issue that has become much more of a crisis in this day and age is AIDS. Some Cabrini students and faculty members, such as senior Trish Schuler, junior Amy Altieri, first-year students Kim Bickings and Angela Mattioni, Dr. Ann Park, director of the social work department, and Margo Bare, assistant professor of social work, became more aware of the problem of AIDS in this society and decided to do something to help. These students and faculty members participated in the recent AIDS Walk which took place on Sunday, Oct. 16. The social work club, along with the help of campus ministry, promoted the walk at Cabrini with posters and flyers. Bare participated in the AIDS Walk for the first time this year. She said they were very lucky because the weather was beautiful and that made walking along the river even nicer. The walk began and ended at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Participants walked for eight miles around the Philadelphia area. Walkers raised money by getting people to sponsor them. The sponsors pledged a certain amount of money for every kilometer walked.
This year's AIDS walk brought300,00 more participants than last year. Last year, $625,000 was raised for the cause. This year, $975,000was raised. The money raised by the walk went to several different social service agencies. Bare said before the walk began, the names of recent victims of AIDS were read and family members of victims spoke. "The whole experiencewas very moving," Bare said. "The talks that the family members gave put everyone in the spirit to do the walk." Bare attended the walk with her mother, husband and a close friend. Although she did not walk with the other participants from Cabrini, Bare said she was surprised to see a large amount of Cabrini graduates. Schuler was one of a handful of Cabrini students who participated in the walk. "My brother volunteers at the walk every year," Schuler said. "He used to say if you are so concerned with AIDS, then why don't you help with the AIDS Walk." Schuler said this year there was a decrease in the number of students who participated in the AIDS Walk. She said she would definitely like to see more Cabrini students get involved next year. Bare said she strongly recommends the AIDS walk to everyone. "'Find a cause' is my motto,'' she said. "Find something that concerns you and help do something about it."

names are not known. When the stable boy and the man's daughter were children, they were allowed to play together. As the children grew older, one thing led to another and the man's daughter became pregnant. When the man realized what had happened, he stormed up the road between the mansion and Grace Hall to see the stable boy. Yet, it was too late. The stable boy had hanged himself in the tower of Grace Hall. According to Craigie, the rope still swings there today. Craigie said there are two different endings to what happened to the man's daughter. One ending said the daughter's baby was still-born and she buried the child in the apple orchard where houses four and five now stand. The other ending said the daughter threw herself over the edge of the balcony in the mansion, landed in front of the door and broke her neck, which resulted in her death and that of her child.
Jennifer Kietar, a senior at Tappan Zee High School in Orangeburg, N.Y., said," I think it's good how they bring everyone together to tell us about the school." Kietar toured Cabrini over the summer, and decided to find out more about the college. "I really liked this one," Kietar said. She said she was really interested in the communications program. Laurie Turns, associate director of admissions, said, "Despite the weather, it was a warm and happy environment." Turns also said she thought the day went well. She said the most successful part of the day was the one-on-one talks with the faculty. Turns said that admissions is just one part of the process. "They want to see what the faculty and students are like," Turns said. According to Turns, approximately 185 people attended Get Acquainted Day. Admissions would like to thank all those who participated and were involved in Get Acquainted Day.

First-year students Kevin Eppler, Dawn Deschak and Tom McKee and sophomore John Lindsay put together a quad of students coming to class late and had a teacher yelling and screaming at them and then proceeded to shoot them for being late. A typical day at Cabrini? You be the one to decide. The last quad that visitors saw was with spirits running and roaming the halls. The catch to this whole quad was the strobe light and loud sound system that the floaters used to spook everyone. According to sophomore Melissa Scornavacca, this year's haunted house made her night because she could watch her roommate scream and yell in fright. photo by DonnaMacDonald (L-R) Chris Schmid and Beth Stanbach use scare tactics.
A blacksmith named Jack made an agreement with the devil. He would give up his soul in return for seven years of mastery in his trade. Outside his shop, he hung a sign which read, "Here lies the Master of all Masters." The Irish brought over several of the traditional games we play on Halloween. In the "snap-apple" game, an apple is suspended from the ceiling which a player tries to catch with their mouth using no hands. This game is very closely related to the traditional bobbing for apples in which the apples are placed in a tub of water and players try to pull one out with their teeth. There is also a game known as the burning of nuts. Nuts are tossed onto an open fire and the initials of one's future spouse can be read in the ·ashes. According to "Psychology Today," Halloween sadists are a modern day myth. The reports that these sadists stuff candy with razor blades and drugs are basically untrue. Few of the incidents have had actual facts to back up the rumors. These Halloween sadists apparently are just another way to scare people. The Pottsville Hospital and Wayne Clinic do still worry about these Halloween sadists and check children's candy to see if it is safe to eat. The records show that the hospital has checked candy through the X-ray machine for the past few years, just in case the is any truth to this myth. The hospital said the process does not harm the candy in any way. It is just an added safety measure for the community. Schade's residence on Main Street in Harrisburg.

by Andrea Kelliher staff writer A frightful time was had at Cabrini College's Haunted House, which was held in Xavier Hall on Oct. 20, 21 and 22. The haunted house was run by members of the entertainment committee of the program~ ming board of the Student Government Association. This year, SGA spent a great amount of time and energy into making the haunted house the best one in the area. As guests went through the building they were told of the Cabrini legend and why sometimes you can really see a ghost appear on campus. Each quad was filled with a group of students who acted out a scene of the legend of Cabrini, or created their own spooky scene to scare the guests that came through the halls. Just as scary as the people in the quads were the floaters that went passing by. The most frightening was first-year student lngo Zitzmann, who would just blend into the black walls and walk up behind the people in the crowd and scare them. Many other passers-by said as they came up the steps to the second floor, senior Doug Eppler would just begin to stare and climb around on the banister laughing and screaming • while frightening people to extremes. Kate Carolan, of King of Prussia, said although she had to wait one half hour before going through the Haunted House, it was the scariest and best one she had ever been to. Getting the point of the legend of the Cabrini ghost across to everyone that came into the haunted house was the main focus for all tour guides. The tour guides led visitors in groups of 10 through both floors of Xavier.

Junior Nate Carter safd he especially liked the quad that warned about coming late to class, along with the student walking around with his hand cut off. SGA made approximately $1,600 from the haunted house. All money that was earned will be going back to students at Cabrini through programming and events. "This year's haunted house was very well organized," Lindsay said. "All of the skits that went on in the quads were great. Over all, student involvement was outstanding."

Halloween'sancient past uprooted by John Lindsay staff writer Halloween originated from a pagan ritual, the Celtic feast of Samhain, which celebrated the end of summer and the harvest, together with the start • of winter and the New Year. The Celts believed that on the eve of the festival (our own Halloween), the dead returned to walk the earth for a night and a day and with them came the most potent evil spirits. Halloween, or All Hallows' Eve, is immediately followed by the Feast of All Saints Day. The next day is known as All Souls Day. The object of this feast, created by the early Catholic and Orthodox Churches, was to remember the dead and to seek prayers for the souls in purgatory. The tradition of wearing costumes and roaming from door to door can be traced back to the Celtics and Christians. It was thought that the souls of the dead, fairies, witches and demons were out and around. People left food and drink out to keep the demons pleased. As centuries went on, people began to dress as these demons in exchange for the offerings of food and drink. This practice was called mumming, and today it has evolved into our present day trick or treating. Witches, ghosts and skeletons are still some of the most popular disguises.
Yesterday once more by Rich Jasper copy editor Iced tea was the hardest drink she ever consumed and the only needles she used were for needlepoint. Her weirdest stash was a collection of Mickey Mouse memorabilia. The flagrant selfindulgence so familiar in plummeting musicians like Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin did not mark Karen Carpenter's life or her death from heart failure in '1983 at the age of 32. As the squeaky-clean antidote to the early '70s brew of antiwar protests, Watergate and acid rock, Karen and Richard Carpenter were the most successful brother and sister recording act ever, with 28 hit singles, some 80 million records sold, three Grammys and an Oscar. But behind the smiles and the sha-lala-las of their impeccably arranged tunes lay a tragic secret. For more than eight years, Karen battled the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. Her tragic death came as a shock to so many fans who followed the Carpenters• fairy tale career all the way to the top of the Billboard charts. In the years following Karen's death, the public obsessed about her life and she has, in a sense, become somewhat of a cultural icon in recent years. Todd Haynes' 1987 short film "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story," which uses Barbie dolls to portray the vocalist's life, helped renew appreciation for the pop music duo. Karen and Richard have also been immortalized on TV (CBS' 1989 docu-drama, "The Karen Carpenter Story") and a 1991 CD boxed set, "From the Top," inspired revisionist praise for the singer, often criticized for being the epitome of vitamin-swallowing, Colgate-smiling, bland Middle America. So, it comes as no surprise that as our nation is caught up in a whirlwind nostalgic yearning for the happier, "Brady Bunch"-filled days of the 1970s, a group of '90s alternative rockers should cash in on the trend by releasing "If I Were a Carpenter" (A&M), an affectionate, respectful tribute to Karen and Richard. After listening to some of the duo's early albums, it is easy to see why these 14 bands came together to recreate some of the Carpenters' classics. Karen's extraordinary voice, which could effortlessly convey heart-wrenching emotional agony with both clarity and purity, gives the listener an insight into her own personal pain and loneliness. And the discernible absence of her amazing contralto on the tribute album eloquently expresses the tragedy of her loss. Whether these modern-day bands embrace the Carpenters with sincerity or sarcasm, most of the renditions on this album are extremely enjoyable. And in no song is the melody ever contorted or mangled, allowing a true Carpenters• fan to sing along to each and every one. Throughout the entire album, the recreations range from luxuriant to beautifully forlorn. The Cranberries perform the Carpenter~• first number one hit, "(They Long To Be) Close to You," while American Music Club treats "Goodbye to Love" with Karen-esque hopelessness and despair. Sheryl Crow, of "All I Wanna Do" fame, sings "Solitaire" and Japanese punk-rockers Shonen Knife add a different twist to "Top of the World," making this track sound least like the original version. Other popular ballads, including "Rainy Days and Mondays," "We've Only Just Begun," and "Hurting Each Other," are also modernized by Cracker, Grant Lee Buffalo and ex-Concrete Blonde singer Johnette Napolitano. Admittedly, there are one or two flops here, most notably the shriekfest verr sion of "Bless the Beasts and Children" by 4 Non Blondes. And Babes in Toyland's rendition of "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" leaves the listener wondering what possessed the duo to release this song as a single in the first place. Ironically, the Carpenters' 1977 version of "Calling Occupants" made it all the way _tonumber 23 on the charts, proving that Karen's true fans will readily accept anything she sings. Yet, the Carpenters• masterpiece and the tribute album's most noticeable track is "Superstar," the haunting portrayal of one fan's yearning for a rock musician. Sonic Youth, who previously paid tribute to Karen when they included "Tunic llltbyRichJaspe, (Song for Karen)" on their highly praised 1990 debut, "Goo," add a ghostly eeriness to their rendition, maJdng it sound as if Karen is desperately trying to make contact from beyond the grave. Although "If I Were a Carpenter" does a fine job in paying its final respects to one of pop music's most compelling vocalists, it cannot measure up to the sheer power of Karen's gift. If you really want to know about Karen Carpenter, you have to listen to her music. It's all there the pain, the longing and the despair. She not only sang songs of unrequited love, she also lived it. classic melodies Bt.>yz•ound Ji,aebyU.'Mne. , ,i ,"~fl{rlter ' J .• , \ • : by Lisa Hines staff writer Thirty-two American classic songs bring back over 20 years worth of memories on the "Forrest Gump" soundtrack.

Another is the Graterford Prison Literacy Project. Cabrini students will travel to the prison and work on increasing the literacy of the men inside the walls, so when they get out they have a better chance of staying there. There is a training session which is run by the prison to educate the students before entering into this project. There are only two people giving their time right now, even though 11 signed up for the program. More people are needed. In fact, more people are needed in every one of the programs that Jeaneen Riely has been working on. "It seems that many people sign up for the programs, but then when it comes time to commit a small part of themselves, people decide that it's too much," Riely said. These programs are ways that you can give of yourself to bring about good in society. If you see the news at night and complain about the lack luster state of society, you can become involved. Most of the programs require only three to five hours per week. If you have this time, look into the programs, see which one is most suited to your needs and wants and then volunteer. Riely keeps adding· programs that people will hopefully become invol'ved with.

Cabrini students will be asked to basically become a fix-it person who can help out where ever necessary to rebuild housing to make it livable. Once the houses are made livable, the needy move in, making small monthly payments to something called the "Fund for Humanity." This fund will be used to build more housing in the future and get more people living in proper conditions. There are only a few Cabrini students working on this project, and many more are needed.
''I find a lot of censorship is tied to religious beliefs,"Iantomo said. ''We like to thinkwe have all of this freedom,but ifthe community does not want it, they have a lot of pull."

Not everyone agrees with this point of view. Remember the old adage----historyrepeats itself? Well, in 1855, Mark 1\vain published "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," and he faced greaterproblems than Sunday morning critics. He discoveredhis book was banned by Concord Public library because the library saiditdealtwithaseriesofadventuresofavery low grade of moralityby using rough dialect and bad language. On May 23, 1994, 139 years later, _West Chester School Board mimicked Concord library's ad:KxIB.The school board voted unanimously to remove the same book from the seventh-grade curriailum after parents, bothwhiteand.African-American,complained that "Adventuresof HuckleberryFinn" is too full of racially-chargedlanguage. Barber's employer, Penn aiarter, is a private school and the headmaster would make the ultimate decisionon a ban. On the other hand, public school boardsmake these decisions for public schools. Before a headma&eror school board decision, a committee of administratorsand par·entsget togetherto discus'!the options. Who all of these controversial books anyway? Directors of hbraries purchase the books~ on their money allotmentandtheinterestofthepeopleitisserving. At Cabrini, Mudrick makes the decisions on the purtjlasing of books. ''I have never had any one say this is what youareorarenotgoingtobuy,''Mudricksaid.

''You may laugh about the Waldo thing," Barber said, ''but you have to take those things seriously. People are uncomfortableandwant to protect their kids."

Two-thirds of book bans occur in elementary and secondary schools. Children's television prograinming should take as much heat ''They (parents) think the written word is more powerful," Barber said School boards are made-up of elected officials. These officials are elected by parents and other members of the community.
But what if there was a problem at Cabrini with the selectionof a book? "Libraries have library associations," Mudrick said 'Tuey try to protect readers' rights and the hbraries' rights." ''We have a good faculty,'' Mudrick said ''ldonotthinktheywouldselectso~thingfor more REACH from 1 Project Rainbow has helped over 175 families break the cycle of poverty and 90 percent of the families are currently under full time employment and housing. About two minutes up the road there is the Armenian Academy. Students who work in this program currently tutor young children who have recently arrived in the states and are learning English. The students do a read along, and also work with grammar and the alphabet in order to help the children learn the English language.
Linda Roccas, coordinatorof readerservices at Cabrini's hbrary, said there has to be some check as far as she can see. However, it shouldbe openfor discussion.

Larry Foster, a sophomore, said he enjoys helping out the children at the school. "I work with a child named Viken. He doesn't know much English, but over the past few weeks I have seen an improvement in his skills," Foster said. Foster said he gets satisfaction in seeing Viken improve his skills but also some personal satisfaction. "The kids wait for us in the back of the school up against the window," Foster said. "They are anxious to see us." This feeling of being able to bring happiness to the children is what brings some people to volunteer their time to these community projects. The Old St. Joseph's Care Walk & Soup Kitchen is another program that can help those who are less fortunate. Every Wednesday the students go down to a soup kitchen and prepare meals for the homeless who wander in the doors. The students also provide some companionship to the people who come there. Also, every Tuesday and Friday night, the students prepare box dinners and walk down a path known to be frequented by the homeless. The students walk down the path giving out dinners to the hungry and homeless. Another program that Cabrini has involved itself with is Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is a Christian shockvalue. Iwouldexpecttherewouldbeagood solid discussion around the book." The public sector runs into a different set of problems.

'Mail for our military' boosts morale by Dave 0/Mstteo staff writer Family, friends, football and turkey are some of the things that remind us of the upcoming holiday season. But what if you were thousands of miles away from home or even in another country and could not get home for the holidays? That is exactly what many members of the U. S. military have to deal with every year. For them, it is not possible to go home for the weekend or Christmas break. But there is an organization called United in Service to Others, and they have a program called "Mail for Our Military," in which people from all over the country will be sending troops holiday cards and packages to over 1000 places worldwide. "Mail for Our Military" is an excellent way for civilians to help keep the morale of troops up during the especially trying holiday season. "Thank you for the Christmas cards your organization sent to us This was an important boost to morale," wrote one Navy chaplain. Many people, groups, schools and churches volunteer their time to this organization each year. They send thousands of pieces of mail addressed to members of our military during this time. Montgomery County Community College, located in Blue Bell, Pa., was among the many colleges and universities that participated in the event last year. MikeKirkpatrick, president of the Alpha Kappa Zeta chapter, said, "Last year we were fifth in the nation of all colleges and universities that participated in 'Mail for Our Military' and we are hoping that we will be up there again this year. We were also first in the nation of all Phi Theta Kappa chapters that participated in the event last year." Kirkpatrick said students and faculty donate Christmas cards and packages to the school so they can send them to our service men and women.

In the championships, Hillis defeated Cedar Crest in the first round and then lost to the eventual champion from Rosemont College. Hillis has a new record of 2-8.

Overall, Cabrini came in second in the championships just under Marywood. According to Day, the championshipswere wel~attended. There was a balance between the teams. "Many schools shared the wealth," Day said. According to Day, there was solid leadership from the three captains. Each of the captains are special in their own way. They proved that they were leaders by their performance on and off the courts, their organization, their motivation and by their responsibility in handling administrative duties. The team as a whole lived up to Day's expectations. Day said that the team meet all of the goals that they set for themselves last year. Day said he feels that Cabrini now has a well-established women's tennis team. "I tell my team to always be winners. Playing your very best is what makes you a winner.

The team played against Marywood College in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference championships held on Saturday, Oct. 22, at College of the Misericordia. The team lost 2-1 in overtime due to what Milhous referred to as an "unfortunate call" by a referee. The team scored the first goal within the first five minutes of the game, but before the end of the first half, Marywood had tied the score. Neither team was able to score in the second half, so the game went into overtime. According to Milhous, one of Marywood's players took a "dangerous" shot, but the referee accepted it as a goal. "It was the ref's decision that ended the game," Milhous said. "It was a very evenly-matched, competitive game." The last time the women's field hockey team played Marywood College, they lost 1-0 in double overtime. According to Milhous, the afternoons of Thursday, Oct. 20, and Friday, Oct. 21, were spent "fine-tuning" basic skills in preparation for the championship game. According to sophomore Melissa Hunsberger, this was Jhe first time the team had made the championships since joining the PAC. "This has been our best season ever," Hunsberger said. Hunsberger praises Milhous's style of coaching. "She makes practice fun. A lot of coaches don't do that. Joanie does," Hunsberger said. "She helps us do what we have to do to get the job done." Milhous began coaching women's field hockey here four years ago. Since then, the team has gone from winning one or two games during their first season to making the PAC championships this season. "We've come a long way in four years. It's a great feeling to see these girls, who have worked so hard, get to compete in the PACs," Milhous said. They should definitely be proud of themselves and their season." Milhous said that she has been opti.mistic about playing in the championships every season. "This year was the first year I knew it could be a reality," Milhous said. Milhous said that speed was one thing which helped the team this season. "Confidence was a very big part of it, and our defense has also be~n excellent," Milhous said. Assistant Coach Samantha Mansfield attributes the successful season partly to great team effort. "We wouldn't win if we didn't have everyone out there," Mansfield said. Senior captains Kristyn Rudnick and Sherri Roam will be leaving the team this year, as well as seniors Tammy Pfeiffenberger and Suzanne Lafferty. According to Hunsberger, Roam, having never played the position before, volunteered to play goalie earlier in the year when a first-year recruit decided not to play. "Sherri's improved so much since we started," Hunsberger said. Despite the loss against Marywood, Milhous said she is still extremely pleased with the season. "Especially for. our seniors, this year has been the year we've been waiting for," Milhous said.

The Cabrini basketball season opened on Sunday, Oct. 23, at Midnight Madness. The first_men'sand women's game will be on Friday, Nov. 18. The first men's JV game will be on Monday, Nov. 28. Trivia Answer: Billy Hatcher had the highest batting average in a Single World Series while playing with the Cincinatti Reds. It was an .of . 1mpress1ve average_ 750. -c·ompiled by Fathe brose Tap in to Mac by Bob Macartney sports columnist This is absolutely ridiculous. 11 It is the middle of October and the only hockey that I can watch is being played on Sega. What is wrong with these people? They are coming off of the best Stanley Cup Playoffs in recent history. A team from their biggest market, New York, won the Cup for the first time in 54 years. They have rising young superstars from many different countries, giving the game an international following. They have a contract with ESPN2 to broadcast more hockey games this year ·than in any season in the past decade. Basketball is on the downswing, with all of their superstars retired. Football only comes around once a week. And, baseball has been out on strike since the end of summer. It is the perfect time for the graceful, fast-moving game of hockey to take center stage in the country it has always tried to impress. So, what happens. The owners lock out the players. The same players who offered to play the season without a contract. This is not like baseball, where both sides are wrong. In this situation, the blame falls on one side, and one side only. The ownership. They had the puck on their sticks. They were in all alone on a breakaway. On an open net. And they let the puck slide off of their sticks. Now, basketball season is around the corner. Football is rounding into form, as the teams gear up for the playoff race. And that new Sega hockey game is so good. This was the opportunity that hockey has been longing for. The opportunity to gain a new breed of fans. The opportunity to turn them on to a whole new game, a game of size and unbelievable speed. The fans were ready. The timing was right. The Flyers just re-acquired Hextall. Lindros was ready for a breakout season. There was a new coach. Bobby Clarke was back. So what is a hockey fan left to do? Thank the owners. Walk out yourself. Get the Sega game. It is almost as realistic as the game itself. In fact, I don't miss hockey as much anymore. Thank you, Gary Bettman.
