'AlcoholAwareness'recognizedon campus by Nina Marie Sciarrotta staff writer
Birch beer was served at the MondaynightfootballpartyhostedinXavier Hall. Non-alcoholicbeer was served in the cafeteriaon Tuesday. Wednesday night a "mock-tail" party was held in Woodcrest. Thursday evening there was a hayride at LindvillaOrchards. A car from an actual accident was donated to the school and placed in front of Sacred Heart Hall, as a reminderof thedangers of driving while intoxicated. These activitieswere sponsoredby Health and StudentServicesand Resident Life duringthe week of Oct. 23 to Oct. 29 in commemoration.ofAlcohol Awareness Week. HealthEducatorEileen M ::Alliney said thepurposeoftheactivities istwofold Thefirstistocausepeopletothink abouttherole thatalcoholplaysin their lives, and the second is to suggest to studentsalternativesto drinking. The week began with a liturgy on Sunday, Oct. 23 dedicated to all of those people whose lives have been affectedby alcohol abuse. According to the American College Health Association, about twothirdsof allviolentbehavior,andhalfof all physical injuries, are alcohol-related. One of the purposesof the Cabrini alcoholpolicyistodefinetheroleof the hosts of legal parties. The hosts are requiredto attend a shortsessionrunby McAllineythatlets them know what their responsibilities
are and gives advice on how to deal withanypossiblealcohol-relatedproblems thatmight occur. Some of these responsibilitiesinelude: □ providingenough non-alcoholic beverages for party-goers who are underage □ providing appropriatefoods □ turning away any intoxicated individuals who attempt to enter the party, and seeingthat they areescorted safely to their residencesby security □ checking the bathrooms every hourto be certainthatnoonehaspassed out from drinkingtoo much McA!lineysaid the hosts of campus legal parties " ...have anawesome responsibility." McA!lineysaid hosting legal parties teachespeople to shiftthe focus of a party away from alcohol. Accordingto McA!liney,manyfirst year collegestudentsdrinkexcessively as an attempt to ''fit in" to collegelife. McA!liney said that a "drinking calendar"has been researchedand developed. Students on campuses throughouttheUnited Stateswere surveyed as to which nights were usually reserved for drinking. The results showed that nearly half of the time srudentsspendat schoolis spentdrinking. Days included exam weeks, the night of or a few days before a long weekend, and the well-knownThursday evening. McAiliney said problems with alcoholabusewill exist"...untilsocietyin general develops a healthier attitude toward alcohol."
When you write for the "Wall Street Journal" and have your bestselling book turned into a movie starring Oprah Winfrey, what else is left for you to do? Come to Cabrini College and receive the Spirit Day Award. That is precisely what Alex Kotlowitz plans to do on Nov. 15. This award and his address to the college is very special because the school seeks a humanitarian who carries on the spirit of the college and the work of Mother Frances Cabrini. Each year, Cabrini looks for an individual who promotes human dignity through various activities, such as action for the peace and justice and the betterment of the lives of the poor and needy. A native of New York City, Kotlowitz graduated from Weslyan University in Middletown, Conn. His first journalism job was with the "Lansing Star" in Lansing, Mich.
From there he became a community organizer in Atlanta. He held this position until the mid-1970s. Kotolowitz then went on to freelance for a few years, making writing contributions to the "MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour", NationalPublic Radio and severalmagazines. Kotolowitz has received many distinguished honors during his career including: the Catholic Interracial Council of New York's John Lafarge Memorial Award for Interracial Justice, the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism A ward and the George Polk Award. In 1984 he became a staff writer for the "Wall Street Journal", writing on urban affairs and social policy. Three years later he showed up at the Henry Homer Homes, a housing project on Chicago's West Side. His two year sojourn there not only produced valuable knowledge, but a bestselling book ''There Are No Children Here: the Story of Two Boys Growing .Up in the Other
America." The book, published in 1991,was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Helen B. Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism, the Carl SandburgAwardand a Christopher Award. In the fall of 1993, it was adopted for television as an "ABC Movie of the Week" starring Oprah Winfrey. Most recently he was a Distinguished Visitor at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Kotlowitz is currently at work on a second book and continues to speak on issues concerning children and the inner-city. This includes appearances on college campuses. His book has been used for many courses here at Cabrini, including Seminar 100, Seminar 300 and some education and social work classes. , Kotlowitz will also speak to our Graduate and Continuing Education students prior to receiving the award.

Seeingthe culturebeneatha person'sskincolor Laura Irwin, resident director
I was not born in the United States. I was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. If you ask me what my nationality is, I will tell you I am Mexican, because nationality to me is where a person is from. It is what is written on everyone's passport, it is their nation and their country. I am not a Hispanic or a Latino, I am a Mexican. · Chris, my husband, is an American. He was born and raised in Chicago, Ill. To me, he is not an African American. He is an American and a citizen of the United States. As I started thinking about what to write on interracial relationships, I realized that Chris and I are more of a multicultural couple than an interracial one. More than anything, our differences are cultural. They are based on bow we grew up, not what race we belong to. Chris and I live in a country where race matters and race issues will always surround us. I have been asked what is Chris' nationality and when I respond American, I get the look followed by the question about his race. Does it matter? He is
an American learning Spanish. It is very hard for me to identify race because it was never an issue for me. I guess I ;im the product of a multicultural marriage. My dad was born and raised by Spanish parents in Cuba. My mom was born and raised by Mexican parents in Mexico. The fact that my father is not Mexican was interesting to explain to my friends while growing up, because my situation was different from theirs. In the United States, my parents would not be considered a multicultural couple; they would just be Latinos. However, they can not be put in the same category since there are differences in their backgrounds, too. At home, we did not eat the typical Mexican foods because my father did ~ot like spices. We ate Spanish, Cuban and some Mexican dishes and we learned about all three countries at the same time. In the United States, I think those differences would be put in one big group -Latinos. I think it is important for society to stop trying to put people in categories. The world is becoming more and more diverse and, unless it is recognized that nationality is where people are from, unity will not be achieved for any nation. Chris is an American. His father is also an American, born and raised in Streator Ill. by American parents of Irish and Scot~ tish descent. Chris's mother is also an American, born in Arkansas and raised in St. Louis, Mo. by a Crow Indian and an African American. With that background,
I come to the conclusion that be is an American. What will our children be? They will be Americans if they are bon_1in this country. We will not force them to make a decision of what they are. They will be American citizens and they can mark "other" on the different forms that they will have to fill out. If we continue to ask people what they are, this country will have the largest population of"others," because the number of multicultural couples is continually increasing. People born of these marriages will not call themselves American. They will be a different nationality: OTHER. Is that the kind of future this country wants? Let's stop trying to figure out what people are and start learning about who they are. Stop giving people the look and start opening your eyes to the beauty in difference. I encourage you to think about opening your heart and your mind to the wonderful world of differences and, the next time you think about asking someone what their na·tionality is, think if it is their nation you are asking about or their race. If it is indeed race, does race really matter? It did not matter to me. It did not matter at the altar when I got married, and it still does not matter. I am very happy to be learning about a different culture through my husband.
!Letters . Adopt-a-family for Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week To the editor:
Ticketsare now on sale!!! 0 $17 outside the
cafeteria 0 $20 at the door
Hunger and Homeless Awareness . Week is coming up soon and this is why I am writing you this letter, addressed mainly to clubs. I am hoping that you will join in our Adopt-A-Family program. We tried this for the first time last year with a few R.A. 's and it worked out very well. What this involves is collecting from your group, enough food for a large, smail or medium family to have for a Thanksgiving dinner. For example, one member could bring one or two loaves of bread and another will bring two cans of green beans, etc. (Anything that one might have at a thanksgiving dinner.) If possible, you could also collect a dollar or two from each member so that we can b~y a turkey to top off your family's Thanksgiving dinner. · To add a personal touch, you can also add a card from your club to the family that the food is going to. Then we collect the food from you on Nov. 21, before everyone leaves and deliver it to the church, where the family comes to pick it up. This is taking the place of Thanks-4-Giving, which is what we have done in previous years. Even if you cannot adopt a family,
or are not part of a club, we would
appreciate it if you could add your can goods to our general food drive. There will be boxes outside Student Development, the Atrium and the Gathering Area. Please contact me at ext. 8037 if you have any questions. Thanks and I hope to bear from you soon. Sincerely, Sherry Cannan Senior ·
C~mpus Minister offers more information To the editor: I was very happy to read Matt Craig's article "Reach out and touch someone" in the last issue. It certainly made for some good reading. If the editors allow, there are a couple points which should be added:
1) Over the past few years, Cabrini College has had numerous winners of the Religious Heritage of America award for their social outreach. This past weekend, Melissa Tobias received an award from Campus Compact, one of four in the state. Melissa has been involved since she was a first year student as a volunteer in many outreach programs.
2) Jeaneen Riely, in addition to being coordinator of community Services, works in Campus Ministry. A few of the Outreach Programs are based in Campus Ministry, for example, St. Joe's Care walk and Soup Kitchen, Graterford Prison Literacy Project and Project Appalachia.
3) Cabrini involvement in outreach programs are not the product of Sem 300. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Long before Sem 300, Cabrini students were being encouraged to "Reach out and touch someone" by people like Dr. Joseph Romano, Sr. Bernadette Anello, Ms. Francesca Bansbach, Dr. Beverly Bryde, Dr. Kathleen Daley McKinley and many, many more wonderful Cabrini people. The ideas expressed in Matt's article· are deeply rooted in the Spirit of Frances Xavier Cabrini, and I hope this message is heard. Sincerely,
Fr. Ambrose Cashman, C.P. Campus Minister

If it has been more than 10 years since you have visited the Franklin Institute, maybe you are due for another field trip. You should definitely visit the museum if you .:re interested in Star Trek and UFOs. "Star Trek: Federation Science" mixes real science and technology with the fantastic vision of the future that is portrayed in both the television series and motion pictures. The exhibit is locally sponsored by Meridian Bancorp, Inc. and the Franklin Mint. The 6,000 square-foot exhibit has incorporated a large collection of Star Trek paraphernalia with more than 30 interactive exhibits. The purpose of the exhibit is to teach science in an unusual and fun way. The science in "Federation Science" focuses on space travel, particle. physics, practical astronomy and physiology. The principles behind propulsion systems, medical science and life support are combined with areas focusing on the structure of our galaxy, orbits, relativity and planetology. "Star Trek: Federation Science" is separated into six different theme areas, which are th~ bridge, sick bay, engineering, science stations and life support, the away team and the final frontier. These areas link a scientific field to an area aboard·the Starship Enterprise. The different work areas are designed to teach lessons about science and technology ttirough interac-
tive devices. These devices place visitors in scenarios that are dramatic enough to be in a movie or television episode. In conjunction with the Star Trek exhibit is the UFO exhibit. This exhibit consists mainly of informative and unique shows. In the part of the exhibit called "Aliens R Awesome," visitors pick a planet and decide how an alien from that planet would look. Visitors can also attend the show, "UFOs: Visions or Visitation" in the Fels Planetarium. In this show, the facts and fantasies of extraterrestrial sightings are explored. This particular show runs only through Nov. 20. Two more presentations will be added to the exhibit beginning Nov. 18. "Destiny in Space," a view of astronauts working in space, will take plact: in the Tuttleman OJDniverseTheater. "Destination: Space" will be presented in conjunction with "Destiny in Space" and will take place in the Musser Choices Forum. 1h this interactive feature, visitors will be able to vote on the future of the space program. Running until Jan. 2, "Star Trek: Federation Science," opened its transporter room in the Franklin Institute's William Penn Gallery. The exhibit was created by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and was conceived by Star Trek's creator, the late Gene Roddenberry, and Paramount Pictures. The exhibit is open seven days a week, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,Oct. 7 through Jan. 2.

Life_changes: Studentswapsfast lane for books by Allyson Hannigan staff writer
Few students have gone from life on the streets, in and out of jail, to the life of a college student at Cabrini. Malik Rashied, 24, a sophomore, has come a long way from the streets of Germantown, a neighborhood of Philadelphia. It was at the age of 13 when Rashied said he first began to hang with the wrong people. He began shoplifting, drinking beer and smoking marijuana.
Yet, it was not until he was 14 that he learned how to make some "fast money."
Rashied also began abusing drugs and recalls much of his actions were from using drugs. From the ages of 16-21, Rashied was in and out of the court system .. He got a year probation added to his eight years for stealing. Again, he was tried as a juvenile, and was given probation on top of probation for possession of drugs. During this time, Rashied was also charged with aggravated assault. Rashied won his aggravated assault case when the victim, who Rashied and his friends threatened, did not show up in court. The incident happened when a few of Rashied's friends got into an argument with some guys at a local gym. Rashied's friends came to his house to get some weapons to.beat the group up. They managed to chase the majority of the group of guys away, but one lagged behind. Rashied and his friends beat the man up with a shovel, hammer and a bat, putting the man into a coma. Rashied did have to sit in jail for seven months before the case was dismissed. When asked if he had any remorse for this incident, Rashied said he was proud because the guy was messing with his friends and that was his lifestyle. Rashied's parents divorced when he was 16, leaving him to run the household. Rashied lived with his father whose job sent him out of town, leaving Rashied with only enough money for groceries and the bills. He also left Rashied with no supervision. His house soon became the "party, hooky and weed house," Rashied said. Rashied 's mother did not know, until Rashied was 18, that he was ever in trouble with the law. He lied to her when she checked up on him. When he was younger, R_ashied used to cut hair on the side, so he claimed all his money was from that.
Also during this time, Rashied's cousin was dating a guy named Mike T, who taught Rashied to steal pocket books, fashion eyeware and chains. Rashied liked the thrill of not getting caught while he was stealing to get money. It was at the age 15 when that Rashied was first arrested for stealing a bicycle. Stealing the bike was a personal revenge for Rashied. The owner of the bike and Rashied were never friends. So one day, the kid was riding his bike by Rashied 's corner and jumped off of it to go chase someone. Rashied took his pike and rode it around· the neighborhood a few times and never gave the bike back. The victim told his mom and she pressed charges. One day Rashied heard a knock at his door and it was the police. Rashied was tried as a juvenile and got probation until he was 22. This was the first of seven times Rashied was arrested. As time went on, the money he obtained through stealing was not good enough for Rashied. That is when he began selling drugs. Rashied began the life of not wanting to work or go to school, yet still wanted to make money fast and easy. According to "At the time, I didn't Rashied, that is when all his think I would live money became "drug and stickpast 25" up money."

his old habits once again. It was not until he was walking to the bus station with a friend, who he had just gotten high with, when his friend robbed someone passing by. Rashied was put in jail for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was at this time when he was sitting in jail he prayed to God that ifhe got him out of this one, he promised to straighten up.
"I made a promise to God: If I get out of this one, I'll straighten up my life." After he was released, it was within six months that Rashied got his GED and got accepted to Pierce Junior College in Philadelphia. He had general studies at Pierce for two years, then transferred to Cabrini this semester. Rashied has been. out of trouble for more than three years. He said he is scared to do anything illegal because he has too much to lose now. Rashied is an English/communications major and works in the college relations office. Noreen Jameison, college relations specialist, said there is no job that Rashied does not happily take on. "He has a great attitude and a great sense of humor," Jameison said. "Every task for ~ashied teaches him something," Jameison said. "He is into the big picture to help him be the best positive person." Lisa Bogia, director of college relations, said, "He fits in well, an excellent match for Cabrini."

Sophomore Malik Rashied takes a break from his job.
"He will be very successful," Bogia said. Looking toward his future, Rashied hopes to save money to buy a house, and obtain custody of his 6-year-old son, Malik Jr. His biggest dream is to build a halfway house connected with the prison system to help inmates get work after their time is served. · "It is too easy to fall back into the cycle," Rashied said. Rashied was able to get past his old habits with the help of his family. His family has stood behind him the whole time.
"I believe God helps those who help themselves" Rashied said his family can-
not believe the changes in his life. Rashied said he does not regret much that has happened in his life because it was the way of life he knew. However, he does regret being one of the first to turn Germantown into a bad neighborhood. Also, he regrets getting his cousin involved with s&lling drugs. Until his cousin gets out of jail, Rashied will always remember the words his cousin said to him, "You got me in, gotta get me out!" Getting out may take a lot of effort, but staying out will take more. It takes a deep realization of what a life of crime can lead to. "I lost a lot of friends over money," Rashied said. "I had hard times. When I look back, it was more pain than joy."

Making life here fun by Kathy Cephas staff writer
,. : -: <I
You know how hard it is to get a party together for some of your friends? Imagine getting a party together for about 400 people. That is just one small aspect of what Marianne DeFruscio organizes everyday. As director of student activities, DeFruscio could rightfully be called a "Jill of all Trades." She knows what goes on months before it is scheduled to take place. Although she runs on a schedule that would make the most dedicated executive falter, DeFruscio said her love for Cabrini is what keeps her going. A native of Drexel Hill, Pa., DeFruscio' s love for Cabrini might stem from the fact that she attended Cabrini in 1984. Although she later transferred to Pennsylvania State Uniphoto by ManeSarrett versity, she lived in Woodcrest Hall and played basketball for the Lady Cavaliers.

Sophomore Kim Fizur also helped out at the refreshment table at her high school alma mater, Paul IX, in Haddonfield, N.J. The professional staff covers the areas of the medical history and the actual blood donation process. This staff is trained and licensed in the areas they work in. Priscilla Schwartz, volunteer coordinator from the Main Line division of the American Red Cross in Paoli, said volunteers are an important part of the blood drives. Schwartz said volunteers are important because they need to make the donors feel welcomed. "The volunteers are the first people the donors see and the last people they deal with (while giving blood)," Schwartz said. "They make an impression." According to Regina Miller, a Cabrini continuing education student and registered nurse, the volunteers make the blood donating process run more smoothly. They assist the nurses in patient donor care. The typical program has changed because the activities engaged in by volunteers has become more limited as of this autumn.
the blood drives around the Main Line area are covered with volunteers and staff. She also recruits and trains volunteers. Volunteers go through a 45 minute training session. They receive a manual. During the training, they discuss topics such as the Food and Drug Administration regulations, different aspects of blood and safety for both the donor and the staff. The office in Paoli alone does about 40 blood drives a week. Blood drives do not operate on weekends. The blood mobile visits college campuses, large · churches, high schools and corporations. The American Red Cross also accepts volunteers for their AIDS information program as speakers, health and safety department workers, office workers dealing with research, computer and data processors and volunteers in the fund-raising department. They are also moving their offices from Paoli to Rosemont in December. Schwartz said that she would be happy to have volunteers from Cabrini at the fall blood drive. This can include people who are unable to give blood. The blood drive is being held on Nov. 14 from noon to 5 p.m. If you would like to volunteer at the American Red Cross, call Priscilla Schwartz at (610)-640-0730.

Teachingjobs are few and far between by DJ Glasgow staff writer
A decade ago, analysts predicted a severe teacher shortage by 1994. This prompted many students to major in education. However, the "great teacher shortage" never happened, leaving an abundance of education majors applying for all the same jobs. Now that a decade has passed, teaching positions are few and far between. So, how does this affect Cabrini education majors and graduates? According to William Kuhns, associate professor in education and the director of student teaching, Cabrini has a good reputation of producing well prepared teachers to enter the teachingprofession.This type of respect within the surrounding teaching community helps Cabrini students gain an edge on the competition. "It may be a notch easier to get to the interview part of applying for a job for a Cabrini graduate because people know that our graduates have come from a very good program," Kuhns said. While there may not be a shortage ofjobs in the suburbs, cities are a different story. According to Dr. Dawn Middleton, assistant professor in education, cities such as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are in such need of teachers that one year certificatesare given to those who can and want to teach in the inner city. But too many college graduates who have been comfortable teaching inthe suburbs do not desire to teach in the city. "It is the fear of the unknown," Middleton said. "The Cabrini students who have taught in Philly have been very happy." According to the Pennsylvania Education Department, Philadelphia has a very high demand for special education, bilingual and
Studentslearn to plan eventsat NACA
physics teachers, but many shy away because of having to work in the inner city. Another source of jobs may be at different types of schools. According to Middleton, whether it be the salary is not as attractive or that teaching jobs are all-year-around, there are shortages of teachers going into private, pre-school or early intervention programs. "If you want to get into a larger setting, you may have to start small," Middleton said. "The kids need you. There is a job for each Cabrini student, even if they have to relocate." Kathy Benner, a graduate adviser, said if a graduate is looking into teaching just as an ordinaryjob, this may not be the time to do so. But if they see themselves making a professional commitment to education, they should pursue that profession. The teacher shortage was expected to reflect the economy of the early 1990s: a sluggish, unsteady wave of uncertainty. It was also expected to reflect the abundance of teachers over the age of 50 who were nearing retirement. In 1989, more than one.third of the nation's faculty were over 50. Most of the faculty over the age of 50 years old were hired during the 1950sand 1960sto handle the needs of the baby-boom generation. There was a definite belief that a teacher shortage would take place. But this is 1994 and there i_sdefinitely not a teacher shortagein sight. It is just the opposite. There are too many resumes going around and a lot of competition taking place among recent college graduates looking for a place to teach. "Employers are going to look at resumes now, knowing that they can go right down the list of qualified applicants and hire the person who will work for a salary that will help the institution financially," Kuhns said. In 1987, the National Center for Educa-
tional Statistics, a federal agency th&tcollects education information, started a national schools' and staffing survey. The center determined the number o'- newly trained teachers entering the job market, which had reached a low of 150,000 in 1985 and jumped.to about 290,000 a year over the next six years. However, the center reported only half of those 140,500found full-time teachingjobs within a year of graduation. Although tl1e recent predicted teaching shortage fell through, anqther shortage is predicted to occur at the start of the next century. The survey predicts by the year 2004, school enrollments will climb by 16 percent to 55.7 million and the teaching force will grow by 14 percent to 3.3 million. In order to lift the strain of the amount of competition that awaits new teachers entering the job market, Pennsylvania legislature created a retirement incentive known as the Mellow Act. Teachers who retire under this package receive full medical packages and have the option of retiring earlier than 65 years of age. However, the Mellow Act did not bring many answers to the teacher shortage problem inPhiladelphia. If anything, it leftthe Philadelphia School District wallowing in resumes. For Cherry Hill, NJ., 11percent of the faculty retired in June. Administrators were said to have no problem filling the vacancies, according to Pat Lucas, director of personnel for the Cherry Hill School District. . There may be an abundance of teachers on the market now, but there are plenty of teaching professions out there for those who are willing to expand themselves and enter unfamiliar waters. "I think our graduates should broaden their horizons, to go where the jobs are," Kuhns said.

Bloomsburg tragedy awakens student concern by Diane Wrobleski staff writer
Students buzzed around solemnly on campus two weeks ago afterthe tragic news burst into the J>Ublic's domain. Five Bloomsburg students, four males and one female, had lost their lives the morning of Oct. 21 in a fire that ripped through the Beta Sigma Delta Fraternity House, only blocks from the tree-lined campus. The fire broke out in a sofa that had caught fire early Thursday evening during a party, but was believed to be extinguished and put on the front porch of the house. Yet, just hours after the party had ended the sofa burst into flames again, but this time no one was around to contain it. Four students escaped with their lives before the two-story wooden structure was charred almost beyond recognition. An official said the batteries had been removed from the smoke detectors in the house, a commonoccurrenceduringsmokefilled student parties.
Fire authorities said that the victims died while trying to escape. Whether Cabrini students knew these victims or not, it caused a stir among the campus and area colleges that evoked an awareness of how easy life can be taken away, if the proper safety precautions are not taken. BloomsburgUniversitycannottakeresponsibility for this fire because it was an offcampus fraternityhouse and "unrecognized," or not sanctioned by the college. However, precautionary measures are being made to make sure this will not happen again. -Meetings, hot lines, counseling and a new task force has been establishedto investigate the campus housing in town an_don campus. Bloomsburg University sophomore Meghan Donahue said, "Fires were not a concern in the cinder block dorms, but it's when you go off campusand reside inthe old wooden homes that fire concerns arise." Housing and most facilities on Cabrini's campus are cinder block and modem, as compared to the mansion, which is wooden. Due

to the age and materials of the facilities and housing structures, the fire system varies·according to the necessary safety precautions that must be taken. Cabrini is supplied with what is called a "local" system. This means that each building independently houses its own "hard wired" electrical system. However, if power fails for some reason, the system does have a back up power source that is battery based and only feeds the smoke alarm system. Every building on campus has its own heatsensor/smoke unit that when activated, informs security of the emergency situation. Security then investigates and helps to make the decision as to whether or not the fire is serious enough to call area fire companies. To keep this system constantly active, the college chose six of the toughest national, state, government and township laws to abide by, and formed the frre escape plans and routines. "Resident assistants also participate, but havetheirownroutinesbecausetheyarefarnil-
iar with the students, which is very helpful at times," said security officer Marsha Hayes. To ensure that each self-monitored system is working properly, physical plant has an outside service contract with a company that comes in annually and checks the housing systems by performingservicechecks, in addition to checking the main panel of the system for malfunctioning parts. At present, the library is receiving an upgrade from a manual system to an automatic system. W oodcrest and the resident housing received new systems this past summer, while Xavier had individual smoke detectors added to each room, besides the system in the common areas and hallway spaces. RichardKralle,thedirectorofpublic safety, said, "We are constantly perfonning evacuation studies with each resident unit when we perform our monthly drills. We analyze the time it takes to evacuatea building, the number of students and other variables that improve safety measures."

On Wednesday, Oct. 26, the men's soccer team hosted Holy Family College on their own field. After a long struggleand 40 minutes of playing time, the game was tied 2-2. In overtime, both teams went out to see which team would score first and be the winner of this highly competitive match. lioly Family was the team to score first and the winner of this non-Pennsylvania Athletic Conference game. Sophomore Jeff Winters, one of the goal scorers of the game, said," Wedidn'tputthe ball in the back of the net enough. We took a lot of shots, but they just didn't seem to find the back of the net." Winters also said, "We hope to do better on Saturday against Centenary by scoring more goals." According to senior co-captain Steve McGowan, the team went into Saturday's game against Centenary with a more serious attitude than they did in the Holy Family game. The injuries on the team are another reason why they are not doing as well as they should be. The team experienced yet another overtime against Centenary.

ONBA Shawn Bradley, 76ers' center, may return from his knee injury sooner than expected. John Lucas, coach of the 76ers, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that one of his goals was to have Bradley in uniform opening night. Lucas said he is not sure if Bradley will play but he would like him to be mobile enough to'be in u:1iformwith the rest of the team. Players and owners still did not make a deal. They did agree, however, that there will be basketball while they look to end their controversy. A salute to Micheal Jordan, retired basketball player, aired on TNT on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

Buddy Ryan. You either like him or you hate him. There is no middle ground, no gray area. Everything is black or white, good or bad. Now, he's back in the town where his legend grew. Budd5' Ryan, former head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, returns to the City of Brotherly Love on Sunday to face the team that let him go, and the coach that replaced him, Rich Kotite. Buddy Ryan, creator of the "46," the attacking, send everybody, kill the quarterback before he kills you and then let him know that you killed his defense, has returned. I have been waiting for this day for over half a year, since the Cardinals hired the coach that righted the Eagles franchise, the man who single-handedly built the Eagles from a winnable to a playoff team and the man who was fired because of his inability to win in the playoffs. Buddy Ryan is the man in the black hat, the bad guy, the hired gun. He plays the part so well, some of the people actually root for him. On the other sideline is Richie Kotite, head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Fittingly, Kotite wears the white hat, for he is strictly vanilla. No verbal wars. No excitement. No daring. Just like the brand of football that his players play. Buddy Ryan's team is 3-5. Rich Kotite's is 6-2. Or is it? The offense is led by Randall Cunningham, Fred Barnett and Calvin Williams. All were drafted by Ryan. The defense is spearheaded by Byron Evans and Eric Allen, both of whom are Buddy's boys. They are pretty much all that remains of the Ryan era here in Philadelphia. . This Sunday, they will all be on the field of battle, along with Seth Joyner, Clyde Simmons, Andre Waters, Jim McMahon, Terry Hoage and Jeff Feagles, all exEagles. For the first time in my life, I am actually considering rooting against the Eagles. To me, this is not the Eagles team I grew up watching. Most of them are in Arizona. So, I just might root for the man in the black bat. Why do I get the feeling I won't be the only one?

Foi: the first time ever, men are members of the Cabrini cheerleading team. The cheerleading team made its 1994-95 debut during "Midnight Madness" on Sunday, Oct. 23. The cheerleaders are also without a coach once again. Jenny Williams, last year's coach, decided not to return. That left athletic director John Dzik scurrying for a replacement. The four male members, who were not required to try out for the team, include junior Will Saccomanno, who is serving as co-captain along with senior Colleen Gray.
