Bands drumit out to see who's best

Sophomore Graham Vigliotta chases the ball down field en route to Cabrini's 1-0 PAC Championship victory. The winning goal was scored by first-year student Larry Teal.

The sophomore class sponsored The Battle of the Bands. This event generated a profit of$326. These funds will be allocated towards the Spring Formal.

The battle took place on Friday, Nov. 4 at 8:30 p.m. in the Widener Center Gathering Area.

Marianne DeFrusio, director of student activities, said this event was one of the highest money making activities for any class board.

The seven members of the class board began the setup of this event in September with the climax occurring last Friday. Sophomore class vice-president Rob Marish was the main organizer of this social gathering.

Sophomore Andrea Kelliher, secretary, and sophomore John Lindsay, social activities representative, helped with the publicity, donations of food and equipment.

The bands Marish collected for this event came from the Philadelphia area. The bands were the Dipschitz, Suicide Kings, Drowning by Numbers, 5.0 and Mountain Cry. The event started off with five bands playing, but by Friday, Mountain Cry had dropped out due to the fact that their drummer was unable to attend.

Cabrini students were represented in two of the bands. First-year student Lauren Modestowicz was the lead singer of Drowning by Numbers, while Marish was the solo drummer of his band, the Dipschitz.

All of the bands came free of charge and were extremely happy to get exposure outside of the city.

This event was a nonalcoholic sponsored party with a large tum out of guests. Health Services office agreed to pay for the cost of security for the evening, since this party did not cater to those who drink. This event was publicized both on and off campus. A large number of guests who attended came from the Philadelphia area.

While Marish said the preparation of this activity was a tremendous amount of work, a lot of money was earned which will help reduce the cost of the Senior Farewell Dinner/Dance, otherwise know as the Spring Formal.

Karen Bell, adviser to the sophomore class, said she gives the students a lot of credit for all of the hard work and dedication they put into this activity. She said that because of the success of this activity, there will not be as much pressure on raising money for the formal.

"I enjoyed the whole evening and I think the class board did a great job in publicizing and promoting this event," first-year student Angela Palazzone said. "That is why it was such a success."

"Attendance for the event was very good," sophomore Marie Augustino said.

"I liked the bands very much. It seemed as though the students from Cabrini that performed were supported by the student body of the campus. It was great moral support for them."

Lookingat ourselvesAgainstAll Odds from the insideout In his critically-acclaimed book "There Are No Children Here," journalist Alex Kotlowitz chronicles the lives of Lafeyette and Pharoah, two young brothers growing up in Chicago's inner-city who must constantly struggle with gangs, substandard living conditions, crime and the harsh reality of death.

On the surface, Kotlowitz attempts to make this American phenomenon more human by giving names to the statistics we often hear about on the evening news. However, the author's underlying message is one of subtle warning. In this country, we are gradually beginning to separate ourselves into different societies based on social class, the color of skin, sexual orientation and gender. In time, this separation could lead to overt isolation, where groups of similar people live and work together untouched by and unconcerned with the outside world.

Because these problems frequently exist behind closed doors, it is necessary to take a step back and scrutinize our own environment. At Cabrini, are we isolating ourselves from the rest of the world?

That is the question Spirit Day '94 "An Inside Outlook" focuses upon.

Unlike past celebrations which promoted Mother Cabrini's mission of working for social justice within the community, this year's event was planned with the intent to "clean house." On Tuesday, Nov. 15, Kotlowitz will be presented with the Cabrini Spirit Day Award not only for his active involvement in the two boys' lives, but also for his concern with the isolation gaps forming across America. Following Kotlowitz's speech, eight workshops will be offered which examine issues such as cheating and dishonesty, the attitude toward homosexuals on campus, labels and stereotypes and how men and women treat each other.

It is clear that Cabrini has taken Kotlowitz's underlying message to heart.

These workshops are held so that each of us may determine whether the college is promoting the same types of problems which face the country today. They will also look at how national problems affect us here on campus.

This year's events may not prevent Cabrini from falling into the isolation trap, but it is a step in the right direction if we all get involved.

So, attend the Spirit Day '94 activities. After all, ifwe want to remain "one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all," we must first begin our mission at home.

Congratulations to the women's soccer team who won the PAC championships against Eastern College in overtime. The team has come a long way from last year, when it started out as a club.

Lighting was a concern addressed in a recent letter to the editor. However, nights still go by when the Xavier parking lot remains dark. According to public safety, the timer lights have been written up three times, but they remain unrepaired.

Dawnielle Klopp, photography editor

"Take this screaming baby off my hands, I can't take it," my mother commented as she handed me to my grandparents at the age of two weeks. She needed her freedom, maybe to sort out her life.

I remember my grandfather bathing me in the sink and playing with my feet. At night, I would always sleep beside my grandmother in her bed. She told me she could remember when I was a tiny baby sleeping beside her. My grandparents truly loved me, but as for my mother and father, I did not know if they even cared about who I was.

All I know was that my grandparents became my mom and dad, until my mother wanted me back. I hate to think it was only becau~e of welfare money that she finally wanted me.

The time had come for me to begin school. My mother had legal custody of me, and in order for her to receive welfare, I had to live in her household and attend school in the district she resided in.

My mother's house was a different world. She lived in the local housing projects. At age five, I did not know the difference between the projects or Grampian Hills, "high society." I only knew that this house seemed colder.

My mother finally had the chance to raise one of her children. She knew how to raise me physically, but mentally and emotionally, she had no clue.

My mom was 27 and had already developed a drinking problem. Her boyfriend lived with her. He was a full-fledged alcoholic. I knew at the time that what they drank made them mean. With each sip they took, they turned the music louder.

My mother would put me to bed thinking I was asleep, but most of the time I would "play possum." By the early morning hours, the fighting would begin. It would be verbal, and sometimes physical.

I recall my mother calling out my name, saying her boyfriend was hitting her. "Call the cops Dawnielle, help me," she screamed. I would run to the phone and call my grandmother. Sometimes, mom would talk to her, but a lot of times, she would take the phone from me and hang it up.

One night, my mother decided to visit her friend, Brenda, in the next row. Mom and Brenda were socializing and drinking.

I was playing with Brenda's daughters. It was getting late. Brenda's boyfriend came in, and a dispute developed. The last thing I remember was seeing my mom up against the wall, and Brenda's boyfriend holding a knife to hei: throat. Mom told me to run home, but I did not. I shoved myself between their legs and begged her boyfriend to let my mom go. He finally did and we went home.

I was not even seven years old.

To this day, I have never forgotten that night. Clear as day, I can picture that man holding a knife to my mom's throat. That is sometimes the way alcohol works. It makes you crazy.

I lived with my grandparents every weekend, holiday and summer vacation,

but I always had to return to my mother's home. I would cry when I saw the green and white houses of the projects. I did not want to go back.

My grandparents thought I cried because I would miss them. That was part of it, but I cried because I was afraid of the yelling and screaming at my mother's house, all because they drank. They drank and acted mean over and over.

Many times, I would sneak down and pour half the Jack Daniel's down the drain.

I hoped that would stop them from drinking, but it did not. They just bought more, and continued to drink.

My mother gave birth to my little b_rother when I was 10 years old. She drank during pregnancy, and Jon-Wesley was two months premature. I worry about him now because he is all alone with his dad, my mom and the alcohol.

I talked with him when I visited home duripg dean's fall holiday. I asked him if he sleeps when the music is loud. He said he does, but that mommy and daddy fight all the time, b~cause daddy drinks too much. He is not as strong as I was. He does not have_grandparents to run to every weekend. He is stuck there.

He told me that he wants to go to college but he does not get grades like his "sissy." I looked at him and tears were starting to form in my eyes.

I told Jon he can do anything, and be anybody he wants to be as long as he wants it hard enough. I told him our mom and his dad will never stop fighting because they do not want to stop drinking.

We just have to try our damndest to realize that we cannot help them. They have to help themselves and so do we. If we try to take care of them, we will miss taking care of ourselves.

has its own distinct culture. Unfortunately, this trip was shortened to only two weeks when I became violently allergic to an anti-malarial drug I was taking as a precaution, and needed to return to the United States for medical treatment.

Obviously, my study and research with Asian culture fit very neatly into the Cabrini area study of the Pacific Rim. The course "Music/ Culture of South and Southeast Asia" was a direct outgrowth of both my formal study during my sabbatical and·my on-site experiences in Bali and Java.

Through this course, the rich traditions and rituals of specific cultures from Malaysia, India and Indonesia are examined, compared and contrasted with western tradition and ritual. Videos and audio recordings are used extensively in this course to bring to life the topics under discussion. Both the field videos collected during my two visits to lnd.onesia and the World Anthology of Music and Dance Video Collection serve to provide accurate and colorful documentation of specific cultures.

I feel strongly thai the study of diverse cultures should be prominent in higher education and congratulate the Cabrini faculty for recognizing this important component of learning. I am very enthusiastic in sharing my new found knowledge with Cabrini students and happily, there is the added benefit of having it fulfill the cultural diversity distribution requirem~nt.

!Letter Librarian clarifies her position on censorship To the editor: I would like to clarify the following points from the Oct. 28 Loquitur "Censorship is alive in literature" article. On page one, "Mudrick said that libraries should be considered to be.in a 'neutral position' when it comes to the great censorship debate." In fact, I said that the collection should represent a neutral position, offering both sides of an issue, but endorsing neither. I believe that libraries should not be neutral in the censorship debate and should oppose censorship.

Libraries serve the needs of an informed electorate and, in the case of a college, an informed student body.

"At Cabrini, Mudrick makes the decisions on the purchasing of books." Book selection is a cooperative effort by the library and the faculty, although the final decision sometimes rests with me.

The majority of titles are suggested by the faculty in support of the courses they teach.

Please feel free to call me or stop by if you would like further discussion on any of the points raised in the article, which touches on a very important issue in our society.

Sincerely, Kristine E. Mudrick Librarian

From "Quick Stop" to quick fame

German student discussesdifferences

by Joe Marturano staff writer

"Life is a lot different here than it is in Germany," lngo Zitzmann, a sophomore, said.

Zitzmann is originally from Immenstadt, Germany.

Zitzmann, 21, was born in Germany where be lived with his parents and younger sister.

He attended school there and progressed to the level of a second-year college student.

It was at this time that he found out about Cabrini College.

Zitzmann is here on a dean's scholarship but his heart lies in basketball, not academics.

If not for this interest in basketball, Zitzmann might still be back home.

In Germany, Zitzmann played basketball with a man named Anthony Chennault.

Chennault's brother once played basketball for Coach John Dzik, athletic director.

He told Zitzmann that he would talk to Dzik for him and try to get hini an interview.

A couple of months after his talk with Chennault and with the help of Dzik, Zitzmann was on his way to America.

According to Zitzmann, he does not mind living in America. "I like living here," Zitzmann said. "It's a little easier living here than it is in Germany."

However, it was not easy coming here, according to Zitzmann. The trade-off for life in America was leaving his family, friends and girlfriend.

"I moved out when I was 18," Zitzmann said "so I was kindof used to not seeing my family all of the time, but at least I could talk to them whenever I wanted."

Now, Zitzmann can only afford to call his family twice a month.

"It's strange being away," Zitzmann said.

Zitzmann also misses his girlfriend.

"We're not together anymore because I had to leave,'' Zitzmann said. "We both knew it was going to happen when we started going out together, but it was hard when we broke up."

According to Zitzmann, it was very hard to leave Germany and travel so far. But he said he wanted to come to America ever since he started playingbasketball and watching NBA games on television.

"I guess you could say I'm homesick," Zitzmann said. "I really don't know anyone here. I like the people here, though. They are very friendly."

Zitzmann has noticed many differences since coming to America. Zitzmann said he thinks some areas of schooling are better in Germany. Zitzmann is a computer information science major. He said Cabrini's computer science department is not very strong and that Cabrini is not a very science-oriented school.

In Germany, the school programs are set up very differently than they are in America.

The curriculum is similar but the period of time in which children are in school is longer.

"There is a lot of emphasis put on grades in school," Dr. M.L. Corbin Sicoli, professor of psychology, said. Sicoli is also of German descent.

"In the home," Sicoli said, "there is a lot of pressure put on children to achieve."

According to Zitzmann, family life in Germany is very different than in America.

Freedom was one of the largest differences.

"I had a lot of freedom at home," Zitzmann said. "I think most kids in Germany have more freedom than kids here."

When Zitzmann was younger, he had many hobbies. He used to hang around the computer labs at his school. He liked to

experiment ,with computer programs.

He was involved with a club swim team for eight years. He also spent a lot of time with his friends and he played a lot of basketball.

Of all of Zitzmann's hobbies, the latter was his favorite.

Zitzmann said the other reasons for his trip to America were for the experience and the language. "The language will help me find a better job after I finish my studies," Zitzmann said.

Zitzmann said another thing he misses in Germany is his car.

"I had a car back in Germany," Zitzmann said, "so I could go out with my friends a lot.

I can't do that here. I always have to ask someone to give me a ride."

Zitzmann also noticed some differences between German anctAmerican holiday traditions.

According to Zitzmann, Christmas is celebrated on Dec. 24 instead of Dec. 25. Besides the change in date, the rest of the aspects of Christmas are exactly the same.

Zitzmann said he was not sure what he was going to do during Christmas break. "I can't go home to see my family because I can't afford to fly back to Germany," Zitzmann said.

Another difference is that there is no Halloween. Germany's version of Halloween is called Kameval.

According to Zitzmann, the German Kameval means "Spirits of the winter, go away." It is a way of celebrating spring.

According to Zitzmann, to celebrate Kameval, everyone dresses up on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday and goes to parties where "everyone can go crazy and not think twice about it."

Oktoberfest is another German tradition.

According to Sicoli, it is a harvest celebration in which there are many varieties of beers that are tasted and are put into competitions.

Zitzmann said he does not plan on staying at Cabrini for long because he does not feel that the computer information science department is demanding enough.

"I'll probably leave after the spring semester," Zitzmann said.

Zitzmann said he will probably go back to school in Germany and try to further develop his basketball talent.

Zitzmann said he could go somewhereelse to continuestudyingin the states but evenwith scholarships, academic or athletic, it is too expensive.

"So I'm probably going home," Zitzmann said.

Dimanda Galas and John Paul Jones have dominated their musical worlds.

Killer love songs make comeback

by Dave D/Matteo staff writer

Grab your handkerchief and your sweetheart and head down to the Irvine Auditorium at34thandSpruceStreetsonNov.13,at8p.m. for "The Sporting Life" tour.

It is the world tour of former Led Zeppelin great,John Paul Jones,and vocalist,composer and performer Diamanda Galas. Philadelphia will be just one of their many stops on a tour that brings them to Europe and America.

Their new album, 'The Sporting Life," was released in September by Mute Records.

TheAlternativePresssaid,"One listenproves that a new peak has been reached on the rock extremity meter." And Galas describes the albumas"acollectionofhomicidallovesongs."

Jones and Galas had a mutual admiration for each other for a few years. In 1989,Jones sawGalas performat the QueenElizabethHall in England. It was after this show that Jones knew he wanted to work with Galas.

The two finally met and began sending tapes of musical ideas back and forth to each other. In February 1994, Galas traveled to Bath,England,where she, Jones and drummer Pete Thomas worked for two months lo create "The Sporting Life."

According to Galas, "We met last August and had a conversationand dinner and talked about music. I said that I wanted to put a band together... but my line was voice and organ, electric bass, and drums - no guitar."

Jones did not argue."One of the first things thatwe agreedupon was that therewould be no guitar,"hesaid. "With avoicelikeDiamanda's, a guitar would simply be a cosmetic device."

Even though Galas and Jones are from oppositeends of the music theater,this project explored the outer boundariesof rock and roll with her emblematic voice in combination with his electric bass. According to Mute Records, it is a sound that can not be copied.

This collaborationmay show what is reallyleft of classicrock 'n' rollor what originalityreally is.

But exactlywho is DiamandaGalas? Galas is a vocalist composer and performer who has

dedicateda large portionof her 15-yearcareer to singingand screamingaboutthe devastation thattheAIDS virus hascaused. Galas' brother, playwrightPhilip-DimitriGalas,diedof AIDS in 1986. Her album"Plague Mass" (originally titled "Masque of the Red Death") was acclaimed a mass for those dead and dying of AIDS. Galas is best known for her unaccompanied vocal pieces like "Plague Mass."

Accordingto People magazinein her 10th album with John Paul Jones on bass and Pete Thomas from the Attractionson drums, Galas "focuses on romance, exploring loves dark side, where obsession, fear and anger sleep sideby side: 'I'd liketo say Icould forgiveyou/ But I can never forgive/Justforget,' she sings in 'Do You Take This Man?'" John Paul Jones , who was best known for his work with LedZeppelin,has been working in production and soundtrack work since the breakup of Led Zeppelin in 1980. He can be heard on string arrangementson REM's "Automatic For The People,"and is heard playing the bass and keyboards on Peter Gabriel's "US." The album opens with "Skotosene,"which translatesto "KillMe" in Greek. The song"Do You Take This Man?" is about pillory wedding vows, turningromanceinto holypadlock.

The man becomestrappedand tries to escape, but the woman is there every time and she is puzzled by this.

The man is then forced to submit to her totally and completely. On "The Sporting Life," a group of whores decide to kill a man for the thrill of it. In "Baby's Insane," the downside of homicidal thrill seeking appears and the true horror of lunacy turns out to be drab and common nature. The album closes with "Hex," a curse that is so horrifyingthat it can not be translated.

Advance ticket sales are available at the Annenberg Center box office, at (215) 8986791, orone hour before the show at the Irvine Auditorium(34thand SpruceStreets).Tickets are $15 and $20; student tickets are $12. For more information,call the Annenberg Center box office.

'Fresh Out of

Rats' " The play is hilarious and is geared toward students," senior Heather McAllister, assistant director of the play, said. · photo by Carol""' Croley

One act of "FreshOut of Ratsnperfonned by {L-R) Steve May, Matt Chiappardiand Kim Penske. Theplay will begin Nov. 17.

by Allyson Hannigan staff writer

In the world premiere of "Fresh Out of Rats," the comic twist of an exaggerated reality and the humiliation one involuntarily subjects themselves to puts the consequences of greed in a new light.

The debut performance of "Fresh Out of Rats" by Paul Crowell, a senior, will be on Thursday, Nov. 17, at 8 p.m., in the Red Cloud Coffeehouse.

In "Fresh Out of Rats," Crowell takes the issue of greed and adds a bizarre twist to it. Crowell describes his play as asking "What price you will pay for goodies in life?"

The idea for "Fresh Out of Rats" came

from a theater class Crowell took last spring. In the class, the students were required to write a scene and then it was performed by others in the class. Later, Crowell kept adding to the scene. Then, the scene transpired to what it is today, a play ready to make its world premiere.

Karen Szczurek, a junior, is the Teading actress, Beth. Szczurek describes her character as being very naive and not very intelligent. Beth, the producer of a television talk show called the "Tyler Show," decides to leave the position believing she can make it as a producer elsewhere. It is at this point she learns she does not have what it takes to be a qualified producer.

Rather, sleeping with Tyler, the owner of the "Tyler Show," played by sophomore

IAlbumreview Monstermania hits market

Matthew Chiappardi, was the only reason she had the job.

All the characters have their own uniqueness within the play. Trisha is Beth's best friend and is one of the more laidback characters. Trisha is played by Maureen Klement, a senior.

"It is a good play on the aspect of the greed and humiliation question," Klement said.

According to Klement, it also questions how far you are willing to go to get what is important to you.

Neal Newman, theater director, said he is living in hope that the world premiere l.s a success.

The play demonstrates how much one is willing to go through to get money.

"It is an interesting question," Newman said. "I am proud that Crowell is ta1cing it on in this play."

Heather McAllister, a senior who is the assistant director of the play, further describes the play as the humiliations we go through throughout our lives.

In each scene, Beth's life spirals downward as she is more and more humiliated.

"The play is hilarious and geared toward students," McAllister said.

"Fresh out of Rats" will also be perfonned on Nov. 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 and $3 for students.

If "Fresh Out of Rats" is a success, Crowell plans to make the necessary changes and submit the play to various playwright contests and theaters.

Mamet's sizzler fizzles

by DJ Glasgow staff writer

David Mamet's new film, "Oleanna," will make you a firm believer that there are two sides to every story. Sexual harassmentissues usually are two sided, which is evident in this film. It is abouta collegestudent,Carol,played

by Debra-Eisenstadt,who brings charges of sexualmisconductagainsther professor,John, played by William Macy.

The mainidea behind"Oleanna"dealswith power relationships. Roles can become reversed between the professor and the student when the power is shifted to the student from the professor.

After Carol learns she if failing John's liberal arts course, she stops by his office, without an appointment,to ask him for help.

As the conversationbouncesback and forth betweenthe professorand student,not much is settled and a lot becomes distorted. As Carol frequently insiststhat she does not understand what he is tryingto explain,the professorloses sight of what it was she needed help with. The dialogue becomes so much like a tug of war that the audiencecannot help but feel like they areon a rollercoasterride andabout to get sick.

The problem lies in the fact that the director of "Oleanna" is David Mamet, who is more known for his work with live theater and not for his technique in producing films. Actors can get awaywith exchangingphraseforphrase on the stage. But on the big screen, the audience is used to seeing conversationsthat are more intertwined,where the actorsdo not have to wait for the other to finishspeaking in order to start talking.

As the duection of Carol and John's conversation gets lost in the cluttered and often confusing dialogue, the professor begins to tum the meeting into a personalplatform from

which he discusses his own pedantic ideologies on the system of higher educationand life and takes a detour on discussing her grade.

Carol leaves the meetingwithout a sense of accomplishment because she left more confused thanwhen she went in. John had told her that he would give her an" A" in the class if she came back to meet with him again because he liked her. Also, as one of their heated discussions resulted in physical contact by John, which was nothing more than a grasp put on both of her shoulders,Carol's motives took on a different perspective.

She went to her professor for help so she could pass his class, not to hear his personal opinions on education and his marriage. She definitelydid not go there so he could put his hands on her, and that is where he overstepped the invisibleboundariessurroundingissues of sexual misconduct.

Carol now had a case of sexual harassment built againstJohn that couldjust as well not be one. From the audience's point of view, he did not touch her body in a sexual manner,nor did he say anything along the lines of what you might think would warrant a sexual harassment suit filed against him. But accordingto Carol's perspective,which seemedto be most prominentin the film, it was how John took on a personal approach to their meeting, rather than stickingto theirteacher-studentroles,that made Carol become uncomfortable.

The message of "Oleanna" is quite clear and appears beneath the title on posters that hang on the wall in the movie theater: Whatever side you take you're wrong. Most of the time, if witnesses are not present when the incident occurs, as is the case in "Oleanna," sexual harassment conflicts surround these "he said-shesaid" matters.Such argumentsare very hard to prove without strong, substantial evidence to back up allegations.

John (William H. Macy, right) confronts Carol (DebraEisenstadt)in "O/eanna."

Later in the film, Carol and John both meet again alone in his office. When the professor learnsof Carol's allegationsof attemptedrape, he loses all sense of control and violently smacks her around the room.

Whetherornot he had a chance to convince the review board of his innocence, John destroyed his chances of winning their support by losing control.

By the end of the film, the roles had been totally reversedand itwas the professorasking for help while the student contained all of the

power.

"Oleanna" can really make the roles that students and professorsplay seem really vulnerable to sexual harassmentsuits.

If a student needs more attention from the professor because they are failing the course, it becomes difficult for the professor to seem compassionate if they are unsure of the invisible boundaries of a student's private space.

No matter which way you look at it, nobody wins.

by Donna Schaeffer staff writer

The Pennsylvania Campus Compact Student Community Service Award is given to students who have shown leadership and commitment to their community.

Melissa Tobias and Trisha Schuler, both seniors, were among several college student~ recently recognized by the Pennsylvania Campus Compact for their community service achievements.

Tobias, winner of the Community Service Award, is a psychology major and also serves as a resident assistant.

Some of her community service work has included volunteering at a camp for abused children, volunteering at a home for crippled children, coordinating Hun-

ger and Homelessness Awareness Week, tutoring inmates at Graterford State Prison, Project Appalachia and working with Outreach to the Homeless.

Now, Tobias works in the adolescent unit of Belmont Center for Comprehensive Treatment, a psychiatric hospital located in Philadelphia.

She facilitates educational groups and talks with patients one-on-one. She also works in the 1esearch department, where she is able to find out information on released patients she has worked with in the past.

Tobias serves as Cabrini's student representative to the Pennsylvania Campus Compact and recently attended the annual Pennsylvania Campus Compact Conference where she received her award.

Tobias said this was only the second year the award has been given.

"It was a chance to talk to other students who do the same things you do, but on different campuses," Tobias said.

Tobias has always been compelled to help others. She said she has her parents to thank for her involvement in community service.

"My parents did it naturally. They were always helping the neighbors, and that's how I grew up," Tobias said. "I thought that's what everybody did, so I just did it."

Trisha Schuler was recognized with the Honorable Mention Award by the Campus Compact for her work in community service.

Some of her activities include serving as coordinator of the Prison Lit-

eracy Project, working in a soup kitchen, participating in fhe Care Walks, serving on the mission advisory committee, Pr.oject Appalachia and serving as a resident assistant.

At present, Schuler is helping to coordinate a Habitat for Humanity program at Cabrini.

Schuler said Tobias is one of her good friends, and that she was happy to see her receive the award.

"She exemplifies what it means to give totally 100 percent of yourself to people," Schuler said.

According to Jeaneen Riely, coordinator of community involvement and liaison to Campus Compact, the students were chosen through nominations, letters of recommendation and commitment to community service activities.

RAs make time for service

by Beth Molloy staff writer

Seniors Veronica Pirollo and Nicole Borderieux were awarded certificates of honorable mention for the 1994 Pennsylvania Campus Compact Student Community Service Award for their many past and present contributions both on and off campus.

The award is given to those students who display outstanding involvement in community service either on or off campus.

Both students did not know what to expect when they handed in their resumes of their community service experience to Jeaneen Riely, coordinator for community involvement, in June 1994. They were simply responding to a request made by Riely. Little did they know that five months later, they would be receiving letters in their mailboxes honoring them for years of service.

Both Pirollo and Borderieux are resident assistants.

Pirollo resides in Woodcrest Hall, while Borderieux resides in McManus House.

Both students are also student coordinators in the Paul V. Fly Elementary School, where they tutor. Pirollo started tutoring in the spring of '94, while Borderieux started' in the fall of '93.

Borderieux is also a tutor for the Armenian School. She began tutoring there this year.

"Cabrini makes it very easy to get involved in community service. There are many different opportunities," Pirollo said.

Pirollo said she did most oi her community service in high school. She attended Upper Darby High School, where she became actively involved in the ser-

vice organization, Interact, which she began herself. This service organization reaches out to the homeless, and, among other services, raises money for UNICEF. She began this organization in her senior year.

Pirollo has also become involved at Cabrini. Besides being a resident assistant, she has also participated in Project Appalachia. This involves sacrificing spring break in order to travel to West Virginia to help those who are less fortunate.

In addition, Pirollo was involved in the resident hall association where she served as secretary last year. She was in the cast of the spring musical, "Rags."

Pirollo also finds time to play for the women's volleyball team.

Borderieux agreed with Pirollo when she said Cabrini makes it easy to get involved. This is evident in her community involvement both on and off campus.

Borderieux was the chairperson for Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week and has also become involved in various other activities.

Unlike Pirollo, Borderieux said most of her community service has been done at Cabrini.

Borderieux was also involved in the resident hall association in her first year at Cabrini. She was also a member of the cheerleading team in '91 and '92.

In the summer between her sophomore and junior year, Borderieux served as an orientation counselor for the incoming first-year students. She has also served as a tour guide.

Some recent involvement includes her membership in Kappa Sigma Omega, the campus service organization.

Main Line takes control of Mother Nature

by Diane Wrobleski staff writer

The decision to hire sharpshooters to control the booming deer population in Lower Merion, Montgomery County, was approved by township officials in a 12-2 vote Oct. 19.

This authorized township manager David C. Latshaw to apply for a deer-control permit from the State Game Commission after three years of heavy debate over the issue. If approved, the permit allows animal control experts to move in and begin shooting by December.

The action stemmed from an increased concern over property damages, disease and motor vehicle accidents caused by these Main Line Bambis.

While many residents believe this is the only alternative, others feartheirtax dollars are going to support a cause that could have been handled in a more humane way.

In Ohio, officials are simply warning motorists to beware and stay alert On New York's Fire Island, biologists are shooting contraceptives out of dart guns. And animal

rights activists who oppose hunting say people should be more accommodating. The problem has become a widespread concern throughout the nation.

The U.S. deer population, hunted to near extinction at the tum of the century, has rebounded in recent years. Some experts have estimated the deer number upwards of 25 million.

In the West, deer have natural enemies, like mountain lions and grizzly bears. But in the East, which is where most of the nation's deer reside, man has become the best and only tool for controlling the abundant populations, according to a report published in USA Today.

As urban and suburban development continues to expand into rural areas, crowding deer herds and limiting hunting, the number of deer-related accidents could soar this year.

Last year, Lower Merion township had close to 200 deer fatalities caused by motorists, more than a fourfold increase since 1991, township police said. Now it is feared that human fatalities will also begin to increase in relation to the incidents. Other counties sur-

Anfernee Hardaway is a future Hall of Farner.

Chris Webber will be a perennial all-star.

Jamal Mashburn will eventually become one of the league's leading scorers.

Isiah Rider has already won one slam dunk contest, and is quickly becoming the main man for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Shawn Bradley is a stiff.

Guess which one was chosen by the Philadelphia 76ers with the second overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft?

Here's a clue. He is the only one who has produced more fouls than points in his team's first few games of the season.

If you said Bradley, take five points.

Which happens to be more points than Bradley is averaging this season.

The Philadelphia 76ers have one of the worst teams in the NBA this season. However, under head coach John Lucas, they have begun to rebuild.

Power forward Sharone Wright looks like a keeper. He has produced more points and rebounds in the first few games than Bradley has in his career. At least it seems that way.

Point guard B.J. Tyler is a lightning quick ball handler, and once he learns how to reign in his quickness, he will be a quality point man for this team.

And Clarence Weatherspoon, in his third NBA season, appears to be on the threshold of stardom.

Imagine how much better the nucleus would be if Mashburn or Rider was on the wing.

Or if Penny Hardaway was leading the offense.

Or if Chris Webber was calling time-out in a Sixers uniform.

In the second round of the '93 draft, the Sixers passed over Nick Van Exel, the starting point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Instead they took Alfonso Ford.

How would a lineup of Van Exel, Tyler, Weatherspoon, Wright and Webber look to you?

I seem to think that the club would be a little closer to the playoffs than they are now.

A lot better than any that includes Shawn Bradley, that's for sure.

If they really wanted a 7'6" stiff, I'm sure Chuck Nevitt comes at a cheaper price than Bradley. He might even produce a little more.

Lady Cavs win the championstlip

The women's soccer team capped off their first year in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference with a 1-0 overtime victory against Eastern in the championship game.

The game took place on Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Cavs home field.

Very early, it was obvious that every play could make or break the game. Both teams were playing tough defense throughout the entire game.

A few times it looked as though

Cabrini was going to get that allimportant first goal du~g regulation time. Several times they hit the post. Twice, first-year student and team scoring ace Nancy Kraus had golden opportunities to win the game before overtime.

First, Kraus had a penalty shot in the second half but was beaten by the Eastern goaltender. Then with only 10 seconds left in the game, Kraus found herself on a breakaway, only to be thwarted a second time.

"The constant effort to score made for a frustrating game be-

cause anything could have happened," said Amy Jackson, a sophomore.

The game moved into overtime, which is comprised of two 15minute halves. Finally, Kraus was able to get revenge on the Eastern goaltender by scoring the only goal of the game. Cabrini's defense held off the Eastern attack until the final buzzer.

There was jubilation on the Cabrini soccer field after the game.

The huge crowd that came to cheer on the Cabrini team, mobbed the field at the end of the game.

Kraus was named the best offensive player of the game, while the Eastern goaltender took the best defensive playerofthe game award.

At the other end, sophomore goaltender Mandy Hopta was brilliant in completing the shutout for Cabrini.

At the end of the game, members of the Cabrini team were named to the PAC All-Conference team: Kraus; first-year students Michelle McGowan and Amy Hummel; and Coach Diane Pierangeli.

The success of the women's soccer team was a pleasant surprise for Cabrini, especially since this was the first year the team was in the PAC. Last year, the women's soccer team was a club team.

According to Pierangeli, the team had a few standout players.

"McGowan is a key player. She is a sweeper and was an all-state player in high school. She is the most skilled and knowledgeable player on the team," Pierangelisaid.

Also on the list of standout players this season is Kraus. Kraus scored18 goals in 16 games before the PAC championships.

"Nancy has a lot of potential.

She has good mechanics. She won most of our games for us this year," Pierangeli said.

Kraus critiqued her season. "I started out well. Then I had a little slow stretch in the middle, but I was able to pick it back up at the end," Kraus said.

Pierangeli said she feels defense is a strong point on her team. In

addition to McGowan, there are three other students who are defense standouts. First-year students CaraSantelli and Becky Ward and sophomore Stephanie Caldwell were solid all year. The last line of defense was left up to goaltender Hopta.

"She got better with every game.

Her goaltending was a marked improvement over the year," Pierangeli said.

The team was set to go before the championship game. Their record in the PAC was 2-1, with one of their wins coming off of Eastern, who they played in the championship game. Although they had already beaten Eastern, the Cabrini team was not going to take them lightly.

"They are an equal team. Even though we beat them before, and feel we can beat them again, we know it won't be easy. We have to work as a team in order for us to win," Santelli said.

Pierangeli was also ready for the game. "I expect us to win. The only loss we had this year in the PAC was to Misericordia, and that was without some of our best players."

If the women's soccer team has a weakness, it would be a lack of depth.

"Last year we struggled as a club team," Pierangeli said. "This year we recruited seven players.

We started out with 20 players this year and dropped to below 16."

Yet, despite the lack of depth, Pierangelli said they worked hard.
