Although Cabrini Spirit Day was a success, the communication lines were down this year, There was a lot of confusion as to where and when events were held. Schedulesof the day's eventswere not easily attainable.
More to life than academics Kelly McDonald, editor in chie Academics is not the only thing that is imponant in college. It has taken me twoand-a-half years to come to this realization and what a difficult realization it was. After taking 18 credits each semester, working part-time, being involved in several extracurricular activities, picking up a double major and being a Loquitur editor, I have finally realized that the only thing I am getting out of this is a solid resume, granted that is not a bad thing. But at the same time, I am burning myself out at the age of 20. In order for me to come to grips with the aspect of my life, I had to take a good look at myself. This occurred when, after many warnings from people around me that I was taking on too much, I had to make the decision to drop a course To many people this seems like no big deal, but I had a difficult time facing the • agony of defeat. I could not understand why I was not doing well and closed my ears to what I did not want to hear, that I overburdened myself. I believe this stems back to the 2 lb. 3 oz. baby that was born two months premature. That baby was me. I guess I just could not wait to enter the world. That attitude is the very one that guides my life today. I could not wait to finish grade school, so I got moved up a grade. I rushed through high school only to be faced with the.pressure of entering college. In college, I had to enter journalism as a first-year student, instead of being like everyone else and taking it as a sophomore. That was not enough though, I had to be an editor for two years instead of one. And if that is still not enough, I have already started looking for my summer internship and could graduate a semester early. This may seem great, but what else do I have to show for all my hard work. I never have time to hang out with my friends because I am either too tired or have too much work to do. I am usually stressed about something and crying about all the things I have to do has become a weekly ritual. Now I am working toward saying no to taking on other responsibilities and trying to look at life through a more realistic approach. This takes a lot of effort on my part. I guess for years I have convinced myself that presenting the picture perfect image was important, and this image included being involved in everything and taking on the world. Now I realize I cannot go through life trying to be super woman, no matter how much I want to present that perfect image. College is supposed to be the best time of our lives, right? Well, I have let two-and-ahalf years fly by without a blink of an eye. But now I am talcing time out of my academic life to experience other facets of growth such as friendships and social~g. Do not get me wrong, academics remain first and foremost in my life but I am starting to realize that other things are important too.
I think everyone in college can relate to this feeling in some way or another. As human beings we have the constant pressure of being perfect, if not for ourselves for our parents or family member. This pressure is obvious in our throughout lives, especially when we applied to college, but first we had to do welt on our SATs and now as we prepare to enter the real world and get a job. Another realization that I came to was the fact that employers do not base everything on your transcripts, they also look at who you are as a person. Also, what employer wants to hire someone that works 24 hours a day seven days a week, only to get burnt out after one year on the job. There is still hope that things will change and I am happy that I am finally talcing into consideration what people have been telling me for years. So I have to give up and extra curricular activity until next year or graduate on time with mostly everyone else. That does seem so bad afterall. It is not too late for anyone in the same situation to start fresh and take in all college life has to offer before it passes you by. Once these years are gone, we can never get the back.

Hungerand homelessness will stillexist after this week
I have taken several little steps in the right direction to facing the fact that I am only human. The first step was giving up my structured part-time job and replacing it with babysitting, which is more flexible and less stressful. I am trying to stop the mental abuse I put myself through when I feel that I have failed at something, like dropping that class. Most imponantly, I am starting to think twice before biting off more than I can chew. After all, it means more to be involved in one things and give it your best and undivided attention than it does to be involved in ten things and not be able to give enough of yourself because you are spread too th.in.

Afterall,isn't thatthevery~ion of Cabrini. I upsand Downs aiJ The holidays are right around the comer and stress in the air. However, free haircuts in the Gathering Area last week made this time a little more enjoyable. Alhough a fun time was had by all at the Fall Formal, food was served without drinks. Ifit was not bad enough that the tickets cost $17, you had to buy yourown soda at $1.75 a pop. Cabrini Spirit Day was a big success. All of the events and workshops were wellattended. The Celebrity Breakfast, even though it took place from 8-9:30 a.m.was especially popular, with approxiamately 200 attnedants. House 5, in particular, had all its residents, with the exception of four, attend the breakfast dressed in shirts and ties. Good job!
Gerri Brauckmann, continuing education student Norman Rockwell, one of America's greatest artists, in the 1940s painted a beautiful and traditional family scene at Thanksgiving. In the painting, an extended family is gathered happily around a perfectly decorated table as the well coifed mother and father are presenting the turkey, roasted to perfection. You can almost taste that dinner from admiring Rockwell's painting. Like Rockwell, I too am an artist and I would like to paint a picture of my traditional Thanksgiving. Although it is just a small chunk of my holiday, it may seem unusual to some people, but it holds significance for me. It truly would not be a day of thanks if I did not begin my holiday this way. While most of you are probably still nestled in your beds on Thanksgiving morning, I arise early and head to a huge row home in Center City, Philadelphia. I am greeted by the smiles of people all eager to see me coming. These people who greet me come from all walks of life. They are White, African-American, Indian, Mexican, Puerto Rican and Oriental. Although they are from different backgrounds, they are all homeless. Brought to the streets by cheap wine, drugs, unemployment, insanity or choice, these people are alone with nowhere to turn. The place where I go to cater to these people is St. John's Hospice, located at 11th and Race across from the new Pennsylvania Convention Center. It is so ironic to see the city pour millions of dollars into this edifice and not drop a penny to its very own indigent who make up a portion of its population. Through my affiliation with the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization, I have become involved with working at the hospice. I go there three times a year {Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter) to feed the homeless. My Thanksgiving Day begins positioned behind the food service line, spoon in hand ready to serve. Initially, we do a setup for the first 100 homeless people. That means, when the doors first open at 11 a.m., their food is on the table. The homeless file in and occupy the first 100 seats. As open seats become available, systematically, more people are allowed to trickle in to be fed. This is when they are handed a tray and asked to uniformly flow down the serving line. They are served generous portions of processed turkey, boxed stuffing, canned yams, canned green beans, canned fruit and Jack & Jill ice cream cups as well as warm coffee. To me, the food is unappetizing, but when you have not eaten in over 12 to 24 hours, appearance does not matter and almost anything will do to fill an empty belly. By no means is the sight of some of these people pleasant. Most have not washed or showered in a long time, some have head lice, all have body odor, and their clothes are ragged, torn and dirty. Underneath it all, they are still living, breathing humans. Their physical appearance is not what makes me come here every year for the last four years. It is their graciousness and friendliness that draws me to the hospice during the holiday season. I was shocked the first time a homeless person looked me in the eyes, thanked me for his meal and proceeded to tell me to have a "Happy Thanksgiving." Likewise, I have been stunned on a number of occasions when one homeless man would pass on the turkey, stuffing, or whatever he did not like and tell me to give their share of turkey to the brother behind him because he did not eat turkey. To be so hungry, yet to find a place in your heart to share, there is no better example on this holiday. The homeless people are amazing in their survival skills. Numbers of them have plastic bags and containers and divide their portions, half for lunch and half for dinner. They obtain their clothing and necessities from dumpsites and bins. Some have even found electronics such as Walkmans that they have learned to fix and use. They carry their entire life's possessi~ns in tra~h bags or nap sacks. I, on.the other harid, would need two U-Hauls.

The children then proceeded to pick up their plates and eat like dogs. The tears rolled down my cheeks as I asked a fellow member to cover for me. I did not want the children to see my reaction. I went to the alley to cry and looked up and saw the entire alleyway filled with waiting homeless people. There must have been 300 people still waiting in line for food at 12:30 p.m. Think about it, adults and children without homes and without food and yet, our government plays policeman to Cubans and Haitians. Last Thanksgiving, shutting down at 2 p.m., we had fed 750 homeless people. I was amazed that there were that many homeless in the City. I can honestly thank God for all that I have been blessed with, knowing that not so long ago, I also chose the wrong path. I have since turned my life around and cleaned up my act. I obtained a good job and returned to school working toward my degree in Human Resource Management with the hopes of one day receiving my doctoral degree. I have also returned to painting and am currently pursuing my dream of writing. The difference between myself and those homeless people is that I had people who loved and believed in me and who have helped me get back on the right path where I am today. For me, the past eight Thanksgivings have truly been thankful. To have the things vie all take fo~ gr~ntea-friends, family and a roof over our head-is the greatest gift we can have. Always remember that! Happy Thanksgiving! Attention anyone who took pictures at Spirit Day Have your pictures published in Woodcrest, Cabrini College's yearbook.

Sincerely, Jim Gregory Junior The editor responds: The advisory board was created over the summer at the recommendations of Dr. Thomas Boeke, vice president of academic affairs. The advisory board was selected by Dr. Jerome Zurek, adviser to Loquitur. The board gives the Loquitur ideas and ~uggestions, and meets with the staff and editors about three times a year. The board is not in a position to ce'nsor what goes into Loquitur. Members of the board include Cathy Yungmann, assistant professor of English/communications, Dr. Jo. seph Romano, professor of philosophy, Lisa Bogia, director of college relations, Robert Bonfiglio, vice president for student development, Paul Weaver, counselor/admission, Katherine Benner, acting director of graduate studies and Nancy Costello, director of mission integration.
• Not all of the homeless people who come to St. Johns are drug addicts, alcoholics or mentally disturbed; some are here by choice. One guy, approximately 30 years old, was extremely handsome and told me he lost his job for which he had a Masters Degree in Accounting. His wife threw him out and he had nowhere to live and decided that since bill collectors were after him, the only way to survive was to take to the streets. He was proud of himself because he did not have to pay taxes anymore. This is a sad case, and though he is not mentally ill, he does appear to be dysfunctional. These are some of the better cases. What I have yet to comprehend or to face is the mothers that come in with their grimy faced children. One such woman came in to the Hospice last Thanksgiving with four blonde haired children, two boys and two girls ranging in age from one to six. As they sat down at the table, she quickly confiscated all of their bread and candy and told them she was saving that for supper.

To the editor: I am writing to discuss a cartoon that was featured in issue three of the Loquitur. The cartoon depicts four editors standing in a line in front of a firing squad. The caption above says, "Here comes the advisory board." I was wondering, what does the advisory board actually do? Do they censor what is going in the paper or do they help the students produce a more interesting and informative paper? As a student at Cabrini, I feel that Loquitur is a part of my education. Loquitur gives the student body an opportunity to voice their own opinions on activities and events that take place on and off campus. I am also interested in knowing who is on the advisory board. Are the members of the board selected by the faculty or the students? I am sincerely concerned for the welfare of the students at Cabrini, especially those students who are involved with the Loquitur.

"I am also interested in establishing a relationship with a community college I heard about in the area that offers a graphics design program. I would like to go there and make a connection with this college and Cabrini," Dempsey said. By making this connection, Dempsey hopes to encourage students to come to Cabrini. In 1973, Dempsey went to Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, N.Y., and enrolled in their two-year degree program in the area of advertising design and production. Upon his graduation, he earned an entry level position in a typesetting and printing company in Binghamton, N.Y. After some time, Dempsey applied for a position as a publication designerfor Mohawk Valley, his alma mater. He stayed at Mohawk Valley for six years, designing publications for the admissions department. While he was there, he was asked to teach some classes in the evening. At this time, he said he liked the idea of producing and sharing outside knowledge with the students. After he began teaching, he decided to pursue this career and quit his job at Mohawk Valley. He went on to Rochester Institute of Technology to earn a bachelor's of fine arts. Mohawk Valley invited him back as an instructor. While he was back at Mohawk Valley, Dempsey helped computerize the graphics department with a desktop publishing lab. In addition, he enrolled in an independent study graduate program at Kent State University, where he is currently completing his master's degree.

by Donna M. Schaeffer staff writer Chris Calvert, a junior, was one of 50 students in Pennsylvania to receive the United Parcel Service Scholarship. This award is given to students who show leadership, citizenship and scholarship. Calvert has been active throughout her years at Cabrini. Her activities include being a member of Kappa Sigma Omega, the women's field hockey team and the housing committee. She was involved with the Student Government Association serving in the social activities position in her first and second year. At present, Calvert serves as president of the junior class. She also works in the office cooperative education and career services. In her spare time, Calvert enjoys spending time with her friends and going to sporting events. She also plays field hockey when she gets the opportunity. Calvert said it was one of her favorite activities. Last year she was voted most valuable player and athlete of the month. • Calvert is an early childhood and elementary education major. Over the summer, she worked at a day camp held at the Phelps School in Malvern, Pa. She worked with eight-year-old children doing arts and crafts and other activities to keep them busy. At present, Calvert works at the Children's School in her field experience placement. In high school, Calvert was involved mostly with sports. It was not until her senior year that she became involved with the student council. Calvert said it was not difficult to get involved at Cabrini. "It was easier for me to get involved here," Calvert said. "At first, it was 'Okay, I'll help' then I became more involved."· Calvert also said that the small campus contributed to the ability of getting involved with activities. Being involved with different activities has given Calvert many opportunities to meet new people. "I've met a lot of different people," Calvert said. "And I have a lot of contacts with people." Calvert also said she has learned a lot from being involved with different activities on campus. "My field hockey coach was a great coach," Calvert said. "I learned a lot from her." When Calvert received the scholarship, she said she was surprised and honored. "Sometimes when I'm running around with my head cut off, I think about it. And I'm happy to have my efforts recognized," Calvert said.
Marianne DeFruscio, director of student activities, nominated Calvert for the scholarship. "Chris is very deserving of the scholarship," DeFruscio said. "She's very active on campus. She's a good student," DeFruscio said
Halpern has been teaching in colleges since 1976. She taught Spanish part-time at Cabrini, Villanova University and Immaculata College. In 1981, she completed her master's degree at Villanova and went on to start her doctoral studies at Bryn Mawr College in 1990. She said she taught at Cabrini part-time throughout her doctoral studies. Before coming back to Cabrini as a full-time faculty member, she taught at Holy Family College. Dempsey works in the English/communications and fine arts division. "When I applied to Cabrini and came for an interview, I got a warm reception. My background and the things I did were things people here were looking for in starting a graphics design degree program. I also saw the challenge of setting up a program where I can put my input on what courses should be offered. I can bring real life experiences into the classroom and prepare students who are pursuing a career in the field," Dempsey said. In addition to graphic design, Dempsey willalsobeteachingphotography. By working with the English/communications department, he said he will show how photography and journalism are related to graphic design. "I hope to contribute to, what I think is already a very good program, the aspect of digital photography," Dempsey said. Digital photography is a means of replacing the darkroom chemical process with computer editing of photos. "It's a way of working with photos on the computer and applying all the characteristics of traditional photography, like development and contrast, in a computer situation," Dempsey said. He said it avoids some of the trial and error that take place in traditional photography and makes it easier. Dempsey said his goal for the upcoming year is to get an understanding of Cabrini and how the two departments operate. Also, he said he wants to get a sense of what is needed in the graphics design program and to see the new Macintosh computer lab operable to Loquitur, the college newspaper, by digitizing their weekly production and enhancing his graphic design classes.

Halpern said that, while nothing is written in stone, she hopes to change the language department in leaps and bounds. By creating a new focus, Halpern said she hopes to get students interested in Spanish through understanding the culture of the people and their literature. "I think we need to see language as a tool of communication and to be able to use Spanish in the workplace, where we can gradually use this language through a more practical approach," Halpern said. In the new Destinos (which means destination) program for all introductory level Spanish students, Halpern is using a Spanish video soap opera to emphasize a communicative approach. In addition, she said the language department will be offering the Destinos program for second-year Spanish students next September. "We are also taking stet,s to teach Spanish for the business people. This will be done with a video-based text with emphasis on business terminology," Halpern said. "These changes will not happen overnight," she said. "With tenacity and perserverance, which I have, I will be able to see these changes come to pass over the next few years."

Four hand performance for free Holiday events by Regina MIiier by Jane S. Van lngen perspectiveseditor Have you ever seen two people play at the same piano? Barbara and Gerhardt Suhrstedt will be doing just that on Sunday, Nov. 20, at 3 p.m., in the Mansion. Admission is free and a reception will follow the recital. They are one of the few one-piano, four-hand teams touring the United States. The Surhstedts debuted in 1982 in New York at the Merkin Concert Hall. Since then, the Suhrstedts have performed for many prestigious concert series, including the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts in Chicago, the Phillips Collection Sunday Series and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. In 1986, Barbara and Gerhardt became the first piano duet team invited to perform for a Liszt Society annual festival. The couple have been featured on numerous music festivals, including the Castle Hill Festival in Massachusetts, the Lakeside Festival in Ohio, the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in South Carolina and the Deer Valley International Chamber Music Festival in Utah. The Surhstedts presented the opening concert for the 1992 Gina Bachauer International Piano Festival at Salt. Lake City's Temple Square. According to Dr. Adeline Bethany, chairperson of the fine arts department, she discovered the·couple by accident. They came to the fine arts department, introduced themselves, and gave her promotional material on their programs and a tape of their concerts. Bethany agreed to sponsor them as part of the college's cultural events series. The couple will be performing overtures and suites from pianists of the 1800s. These pianists include RimskyKorsakov, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Debussy, Gottschalk and Stravinsky. "The Suhrstedts infuse liveliness and a sense of style into their interpretations," said The New York Times. The Sarnia Observer in Ontario, Quebec, in the same press release, said, "The artists gave a remarkable display of close musical rapport in a recital that was musically solid and brilliantly performed throughout." "It is unusual to hear and see a piano recital of two people and four hands at one piano," Bethany said. "Because of the extra two hands, it is possible to use the entire keyboard to greater advantage." Barbara is a native of Ohio and a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. While in Ohio, she studied with George Haddard. Gerhardt is originally from Charleston, S.C. and is a graduate of Furman University. The Surhstedts met and married while completing graduate studies at Boston University's School for the Arts. The Suhrstedts live in Boston and have taught at several schools, including Tufts University and Boston's South Shore Conservatory. Barbara and Gerhardt have released a cassette tape, "A Four-Hand Feast," featuring music of Mendelssohn, Liszt, Dvorak, Debussy and Gershwin. The duo is well known for their programs "Four Hands Fantastique!" "French Music, Art and Poetry 1870-1920" and "Land of the Czars," a glimpse into the arts of Czarist Russia. In addition to their formal concerts, Barbara and Gerhardt regularly present lectures on the piano duet medium for high schools, colleges and piano teachers' associations. In recent seasons, they have been featured Convention Artists/ Clinicians for MTNA State Conventions in Pennsylvania and Louisiana. "These pianists paint pictures in musical sounds, reaching a high level of artistic ·achievement," The News and Observer of Raleigh, N.C., said. arts & entertainrrn,nteditQr
Last week a momentous event took place. Our first tag-team restaurant review. Anned with only our wits, lightweight jackets and a trusty notebook, we took wing to the Chili's Restaurant and Bar in Wayne. Well,notwingexactly. Wegotaride. It was cold and wet and neither of us had a car. Also, we were both fighting the common cold, and not doing too well. So, rather than brave the elements, we drafted a freak with wheels and went on our culinary sojourn. Chili's is located on Lancaster Avenue in Wayne, across from the First Fidelity bank, next to Minella's diner. We went on a Wednesday at 3 p.m., so we missed the lunch crowd, and were too early for dinner. Perhaps this helped us be seated right away. And perhaps this is why our review began He got a Pepsi. She got an iced tea. We sat by the door. Immediately we noticed the atmosphere. The bright colors of green, orange and cream caught our eyes at once. We were drawn to the exposed beams and heating vents, tiled floors and the very Sante Fe atmosphere. Everywhere she looked there was a plant... After she stopped sneezing, we noticed the details. The restaurant is loaded with little knickknacks that were reminiscent of T.G.I. Friday's, but all had a special, southwestern flair. He noticed the copper kettle drum lamps over every table. She noticed the antique bicycle hanging over her head. We agreed the atmosphere was laid-back. Our hostess/waitress kept looking to our FEATURES table as our eyes swept the room. We were expecting her to give us menus. She gave us dirty looks instead. Then, she noticed the menus. They were bright yellow, sitting on the multicolored, ceramic tile table, behind the steak sauce and Tabasco. After we looked at the menus for a few minutes, our attentive waitress came over. He planned on ordering the turkey quesadillas, a sliced, pepper turkey breast smothered in barbecue sauce, onions, pico de gallo and sour cream. For starters, the appetizer section of the menu, Chili's offers many choices, from fried cheese and buffalo wings to nachos and soup. This is because Chili's is also a bar. They have Dos XX, Corona, Heineken, Budweiser, Coors Light, Samuel Adams and other assorted premium bottle and draft beers. Chili's offers wines, such as chardonnay, white zinfandels and cabemet sauvignon. Margaritas are also mixed at Chili's. The bar itself is neat, located in the center of the restaurant, with a real bar, standing tables and a few booths. There is a big screen TV and lots of room to watch people enter and leave. A family restaurant, as well as a bar, Chili's atmosphere is interesting to say the least. Oh, Chili's also has a large salad section and offers side orders. He ordered the appetizer. She was on a diet. We needed more time. As our waitress left, she was excited to see the new "Guiltless Grill" section. She was smiling as she looked at the meals offered. Each platter contained between three to 13 grams of fat. She could have gotten a tuna or chicken salad sandwich or charbroiled chicken fahita. She went out on a limb and ordered the Guiltless Chicken Sandwich ($4.95) which had seven grams of fat. He ignored her wanton squealing of fatfree pleasure and followed his gut instinct, since his gut was paying for both of their meals. Heperusedthemenu. Chili'sisTexMex, meaning high-in-spice and high-incalories. Tex-Mex food originated in Texas and New Mexico, combining Mexican spices and cooking practices with down-home southern American eatin'. The menu is primarily steak, beef, chicken and some seafood. There are 14 entrees alone involving chicken. There are four entree sections: "Southwest Grill," "Open Range," "Burger Platters" and "Sandwiches". Most of the meat is char-grilled, especially in the "Southwest Grill." "Chargrilled" means that the meat is burned until it is done. The char-grilled food is not dry, mind you, but one may find a piece of charcoal floating in his pasta. He did. She laughed as he picked his teeth clean of the carbon grit from the first bite. After the appetizers that our waitress so lovingly • took away, we began our meal. She was very happy with her selection. A six-ounce piece of grilled chicken laid on a multi-grain bun that had lettuce, tomatoes and dill pickles on it. A fat-free honey mustard dressing was glistening in the light and was just enough to cover her buns. An array of steamed mixed vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli and green and yellow zucchini sat next to her sandwich as well as a nice cup of fat-free tricolored spiral pasta salad. Although everything was full of flavor and color, the pasta salad contained too much vinegar dressing. He had ordered the Grilled Chicken Pasta
Friday, Nov. 18, 1994 ($6.85, add $0.99 for steamed vegetables). It was included in the "Open Range" section of the menu, which are primarily alternatives to grilled foods. He was enjoying it. It was prepared with spinach and regular linguini, which had been boiled with garlic pieces. It was tossed with marinated chargrilled chicken and red & green peppers. The linguini was then covered with a zesty garlic cream sauce and served on a platter with garlic bread. He enjoyed the meal thoroughly, down to the peppers and bits of charcoal. But TexMex is not for everybody. The spices and use of burning may not be everybody's idea of good food. His experience was good with the food and the atmosphere. It was too bad be was sick and that the waitress was absent for most of the meal. He rates Chili's in Wayne as GREAT. She thought Chili's was very accommodating for a customer on a diet. They will prepare your food without any of the creamy sauces or they will put them on the side. Their new "Guiltless Grill" has several varieties, and the food is low in fat, not low on taste. She would return to Chili's again. As we unbuckled our belts in gluttony, our waitress approached us with the bill. He was frustrated by the lack of good service. Bills should be brought to the table after a patron wants no more to eat, not in an attempt to shove people out the door. Still, He was stuffed. He had to pay up. She said "where's the bathroom?" "That way," He said, "Make a right and it's the first door on your left." After be paid the bill, she came back to the table and we got ready for our ride back. We walked out and waited, realizing we did not have a ride home. So we had to walk back, sick, in the rain. We both strongly suggest Chili's Restaurant and Bar. Bring your appetite, but bring a ride!

Jennifer Goss, education program coordinator for the National Cancer Society, was one of the people promoting the smokeout this year. She said the program has been running for 18 years with varied success. "In 1993, we had 9.4 million people, or 20.5 percent of the smokers, participate in the smokeout," Goss said. Statistics from the Cancer Society show almost 80 percent of the people who tried quitting that day had some success in either cutting down or quitting altogether. Chris Breger, a senior, smokes. He said he participated in the smokeout in years past but he did not see the reason for it. "I decided to quit for the day, but the day after, I was smoking again," Breger said. Breger stressed the fact that anyone wishing to quit smoking should want to do it for themselves, not because there is a special day for it. "I have never heard of someone deciding to quit because of the day," be said. My friends who have decided to quit did it on their own, not because of a special day," Breger said. Diane Difelice, a junior and confessed smoker, said she bad not even heard about the smokeout this year. "In years past, there were a lot of advertisements for the "We send it out a month before, so people can pick the third Thursday in November as their quitting date," Goss said. Nonsmokers also have an in-terest in The Great American Smokeout. Junior Dan Meder said if the smokeout helps someone quit, the day was worthwhile. • "Who knows, someone might just decide to stick with not smoking," Meder said. He said a majority of his friends to not smoke, but those who did probably would ignore the day. "If I have not heard anything about this, how will the smokers?" Meder asked. As a nonsmoker, he said he liked the idea of a smoke-free day. He said it was nice not to smell stale cigarettes all the time.

"Highsmith 's skills as an interviewer and broadcast journalist are absolutely top notch," said NJN news boss Bill Jobes, when he commented on his hiring of Highsmith in The Philadelphia Inquirer. Jobes said he had no problem with the lack of television experience Highsmith had when he debuted on NJN since he is able to think on his feet and not loose his cool. Highsmith has also been the recipient of several first place awards such as the 1988 Pennsylvania AP News Feature, the 1988 Pennsylvania UPI Individual Achievement, the 1988 Pennsylvania UPI Spot News, the 1987 Pennsylvania AP Best Newscast (anchor, writer, editor) and the 1986 RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Regional Award for Best News Department. Highsmith's 30 minute documentary on the Battleship New Jersey also got him nominated for an Emmy in both New York and Philadelphia. The Battleship New Jersey documentary was archival footage from the birth of the ship in Philadelphia, where it was one of four ships made during World War II Battleship New Jersey served in the later years of World War II, the Korean war, Vietnam, and recently in the Middle East. The footage also consisted of interviews with the sailors and the captain. Efforts to bring the ship back to New Jersey after its services are done are in effect. Highsmith said he has accomplish all Steve Highsmith, 1988graduate, is now an anchor for "The Inquirer NewsHour." that he has for four reasons: hard work, his striking out for something, luck and the positive image he has made for himself. "You need a sense of direction," Highsmith said. "Can't say it will all work out, but there is more time than you think there is when in your twenties, to establish your career." To reach his goals, Highsmith said he took advantage of many of the opportunities he was offered. Highsmith has also contributed his services to our community. Within the last year, he established a scholarship drive to provide the opportunity for working people either, to get or continue their education. Highsmith has also contributed to the Mansion restora-tion fund, the Alumni annual fund and the continuing education scholarship fund. Highsmith also volunteers for the New Town Haddassab, which is a local Jewish organization where he is the master of ceremonies. Highsmith does not have any definite plans for the future. He enjoys what he is doing and hopes to get better at it. He said he feels he is in a very fortunate position and he hopes to improve bis "craft." He has just started a new adventure and he is doing what he likes best, anchoring and reporting.

To smoke or not to smoke
by Matt Craig staff writer It is long, you suck on it, and it gives you pleasure. Relax! It's not what you think. It is just a cigarette, and on Nov. 17, smokers everywhere held back their carnal desires to help make The Great American Smokeout a success. The National Cancer Society bas tried to encourage everyone in America to quit smoking for just one day. Unfortunately, the Great American Smokeout has not been the most widely observed day in our calendar year. For one reason or another, smokers will light up in spite of this annual occurrence. He said he thinks that Nov.17 was not be different than any other day. "I think it's a great idea, but if I want to stop smoking I will do it when I am ready," Breger said. smokeout.

by Shella Brady features editor A job. It is the one thing on the minds of most seniors. It is also on the minds of many experienced people, who have for one reason or another left their jobs. Is there one out there for everyone? Seventy-five companies with potential jobs answered that question for employee-hopefuls by taking part in the Delaware Valley Regional Job Fair. On Thursday, Nov. 10, 2,000 people passed through the Valley Forge Convention Center doors to attend "Job Seeker Workshops" and, more importantly, make connections to land a job. "It was incredible," said Cherie Wright, the program director. "It was a very good fair." Wright said a great amount of work was put into the day. However, because her company, the Great Valley Career Connections has been a primary sponsor of job fairs for 10 years, she said they have it down to a science. The day began with a short orientation session at 10 a.m. A continental breakfast was served until 10:45 a.m. Tables were set up and ready for encounters with potential employees beginning at 11 a.m. There were three workshops available for job seekers: "How to write resumes," "Interviewing skills" and "Computer careers: Myths and realities." The people who did not attend the workshops were busy straightening their ties or stockings, as the case may be. Rows of patient job seekers shifted their weight from one leg to another, while waiting in wrap-around lines to speak to company representatives. Resumes were shared, names were taken, and according to Wright, approximately 200 of the hopefuls will be back in the work force as a result of this fair.

"The biggest worry I have right now is finding a job," Nicole Fries said. "I'm looking for a career in sales, or anything." There was also a much more experienced job-seeker who knew exactly what to do. Leslie Leben offered the advice to never come to these fairs early. According to Leben, skip the morning rush and also lunch hour, when temporary employees may come to the fair. Instead, come in the early afternoon when employers are loosened up, yet not exhausted, Leben said. Wright was exhausted, she said. "But it is worth it," she said, in her sharp business suit and sneakers. "It is a positive experience for companies," Wright said. "People generally do find legitimate employers."
Companies ranged from large to small. There were names like Wawa, Wendy's, TI Maxx, computer corporations and sales companies like Micro Age of Exton, Pa., and John Hancock Financial Services. "Not everybody can work for AT&T and IBM," Karen A. Zenner, the district sales manager of Famous Footwear, said. "We have nice entry-level positions." Deborah Devlin, associate manager of The Prudential Insurance Company of America said it was her guess that the majority of companies at the fair is looking for people with two or three years experience. According to Devlin, most of the college students who attended, did so early in the day. She said college-aged participation was low at the convention center. This may be due to the fact most colleges and universities have their own job fairs on campus.

The Ethnic Student Alliance brings new light to Cabrini with a step squad. 'The step show was really different," senior Heather McAllister said. Cabrini has never done anything like this before. It captured the audience into complete silence. Everyone just sat there and watched." The musicis made through the motions and sounds of the body. The steps are done in patterns. It is essential that the steps be done in complete unison to capture the attitude that must be expressed by the performers. It is as if the body is the instrument. This year, Midnight Madness was a huge success with the E.S.A Step Squad's performance. "We wanted to put together a dance for Midnight Madness," junior Celene Wright said. The squad wanted to get their group more well known to the students, and through their performance, they felt it was a success. "The audience seemed really excited about what we were doing," Wright said. Not only do they want to do something to make their group well- known, the squad also wants to bring something new to the campus.

Senior Kelly Brown is the current president of E.S.A and Grace is the vice president. The president calls for occasional meetings, and the group discusses different events that are coming up in the future. The idea for the step squad came into light at one of this year's recent meetings. Everyone thought this squad could be a new activity that would benefit the organization. To prepare for Midnight Madness, they began rehearsing every night from 10 p.m. to midnightfor approximatelythreeweeks. Grace taught the group their dance steps with the help of his girlfriend Jennifer. "We are very happy with the response we have received from the students, and we are looking forward to future performances," Rutherford said. The E.S.A Step Squad hopes to impress their audience in the future as they have done at Midnight Madness Before long they said they want all to be aware ofE.S.A.'s existence on campus.

Father Knows Best: Who is the only NBA player to take over 15 field goal attempts in one game and miss them all. -compiled by Father Ambrose contractsto unsignedplayers on their rosters.
Al Monostra, class of '84, picked McQueen and Terry Mancini, former point guard for the Cavaliers, as key player. Monostra said Mancini was probably in the best shape among a lot of alumni.
The game started out leisurely, but as the time started running out and the scores grew close, the desire to win became obvious. A few impressive shots were made, including shots from afar and slam dunks. Although the players' ages had a 10 year range, it did not show on the court. Every player hustled as well as the next. As the Ethnic Student Alliance step squad performed their routine, the reactions among the fans varied. As some Cabrini _ students cheered on the squad, the alumni's mouths dropped open as their eyes grew wide. Michael Bennett, class of '82, said he could not believe Cabrini had a show like that. "We never had an ethnic group like that when we were at Cabrini," Bennett said. "This school has come a long way." He also said if they did perform something like that, they would have been thrown out. Bennett played in the game even though he had knee problems. He said he would not have missed this game for anything. Reuniting seemed to be the purpose for this game. Monostra did not participate because of many knee operations. He came as a spectator and to see old teammates. "The basketball team was a close-knit family," Monostra said. "McQueen was my roommate in college and we still live together. He's like a family member." "It's a good chance to see friends and people I graduated with," McQueen said. "I sometimes only get to see people once or twice a year." Gary Smith, class of '86, played for tltree years at Cabrini. However, a sore knee prevented him from playing in this game. Smith said he enjoyed playing for Cabrini and McQueen had recruited him. He agreed that the alumni game was a great opportunity to see old teammates and classmates. Dan Barracliff, class of '94, said he had fun playing in the game and was proud of the alumni attendance. "Just about everyone who graduated last year is here," Barracliff said. He said it was almost impossible for the others to attend. photo by Caroline Croley Alumnus Robert Davis gives the Blue team a run for their money in the Alumni game played on Monday,Nov. 14.

The Gavs competeor1Spirit more.assistant from10 by Justin Mlrlgllanl staff writer The White team won the annual Blue and White game 7572, in Sacred Heart gym on Spirit Day, Tuesday, Nov. 15. The game was an intersquad match-up, as the basketball team was split up into two teams to compete against each other. From the opening tip, the game was in high gear. Juniors Eric Tidwell and Mike Dever hit consecutive three-pointers to begin the scoring for the White team. The White team continued to pull away, but with just over eight minutes to go, both teams began to trade three-pointers. After the pace slowed down a little bit, the White team maintained a 35-21 lead with less than eight minutes to go in the first half. For the rest of the first half, both teams traded baskets and at half time, the White team had a 15 point lead at 49-34. The second half started out with both teams playing tight defense. As the half wore on, the game opened up and both teams were making big offensive plays. With 11:16 left in the game, the White team still enjoyed a big 62-49 lead. The Blue team suddenly surged and with just under five minutes left in the game, they cut the White team's lead to five at 70-65. The Blue team got as close as 72- 70 with just 25 seconds left to go in the game. But first-year student Tom Newnam drove the lane and hit his shot and was fouled. Newnam converted the three-point play and with it, he put away the game. The White team got the ball back and inbounded it with one second left to ice the game. There were several activities for the fans during halftime. A half-court shot contest was scheduled for the half time, with the winner receiving $100. No one hit the half-court shot, so the $100 was raffled off to the contestants. The winner of the raffle was senior Anne Shemeley. Senior Bob Macartney was the winner of a three-point shooting contest. Macartney received one pair of '76ers tickets. Junior Jackie Reid were a certificate tc Wayne Sporting Goods by winning the free throw shooting contest. The contests were run by first-year students Amy Deegan, John DiCarlo, and Daisy Wentz. There was a strong crowd turn out of about 150 in Sacred Heart gym for the game. Junior Brian Mooney said he enjoyed the game. "It was interesting to see the new players. It was also interesting to see what we should expect this year. This could be a good year," Mooney said. The Blue and White game was started in 1980. Coach John Dzik explained what the game meant to him. "I enjoy watching the game from my perspective to see how we are doing," Dzik, who has been coaching the Cavs for 15 years, said. "I pick the team the day of the game .and I try to keep it equal." There is another member of the Cabrini coaching staff who is no stranger to the Blue and White game. John McQueen, assistant coach and the all-time leading scorer in Cabrini basketball history, said he was looking forward to the game. McQue.en has been an assistant coach off and on since he graduated in 1985. "As a coach, the Blue and White game is an opportunity to see how the players and coaches will adjust to the systems," McQueen said. "This is a good chance for us to· see where we are. The game will also be good because it will bring out the competitive juices in the players, which they don't get in practice." Along with Dzik and McQueen are assistant coaches Don Heartnett, Joe Kelly and Mike Keeley. Both Keeley and Kelly had an opportunity to be head coaches in the Blue and White game. The coaches were not the only people looking forward to the game. The players were also ready to go. "This gave the school a chance to see what the team looks like," Billy Carr, a junior and captain of the men's basketball team, said. "This is a preview of the season. We get to work on things, and we also get a chance to evaluate the team." "This is a game for the crowd," first-year student Far'd Nasir said. Out on the floor, a few new players experienced the Blue an~ White game for the first time. "This is the first Blue and White game for me and the other transfer and first-year students," Newnam said before the game. According to Dzik, the team has a lot of work ahead of them for the upcoming year. "I am cautiously optimistic about the season," Dzik said. "We have a 'no star' system on this team. We have a lot of good players with equal ability. We have a lot of new faces and we need them to blend together." "I think we will do well this year," McQueen said. "We have a good nucleus from last year, and these players are solid individuals. They have a lot of characteras well as talent. Last year we were in the NCAA division three playoffs. This year we need to go back and win a game." Recruiting for the basketball team has been a priority. "Recruiting is hard, but the basketball staff works hard all of the time to recruit players," Dzik said. "All of the coaches have done a good job recruiting," McQueen said.

by Lisa Hines staff writer Cabrini celebrated Spirit Day with the annual alumni basketball game, bringing back Cavaliers from past years. The finai score was Visitors, 92, Home, 86. The teams, blue representing home and white rep-resenting visitor, were picked at random by John Dzik, director of athletics. On Monday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. in the gym, Dzik introduced the players to their fans and the game began. The game was more social and less competitive than a typical Cabrini basketball game. It was a relaxed atmosphere, no worried coaches or players, just people out to have a good time. There were no Cabrini students yelling from the stage at the referee or players. However, there was some shouting during the game. "Take him on. He's old!" one fan yelled. "You got killed!" Dzik commented into the microphone to one player. The player who stood out in the game was John McQueen, class of '84, who was the assistant coach and all time leading scorer of Cabrini.
