Commencement·policychanged by Kimberly Sheldron staff writer Under the approval of Dr. Thomas Boeke, provost and academic dean, new graduation procedures will go into effect with the graduating class of 1995. According to Boeke, the main strength of the new procedures lies in the fact that it is clearly stated who is eligible to participate in the commencement exercises. "I think this should make all students very pleased," Boeke said. Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student development, said new procedures were neC4led. In the past, students who planned on graduating with their class could not participate in commenceme·nt, because they were a few credits short of completion. He was also concerned about the rising costs of diplomas. The registrar often has to order last minute diplomas. They also order many duplicate diplomas for students who do not complete all requirements.

"We have often gone $1,000 over the budget in diplomas we didn't end up using," said Leslie Sutton-Skinner, registrar. ..Xu MfJi~.-has unplementea six new procedures in order to solve the problems. Before implementing them, SuttonSkinner checked with other area colleges to see how they were handling graduation procedures. She used their ideas and proposed the new procedures to Boeke. The procedures were then proposed to Bonfiglio and the senior class officers. "For the most part, they were wellreceived," Bonfiglio said. In a memo to the faculty, SuttonSkinner defined the six new procedures. On April 1, the registrar will give eligible seniors a check-out letter, which clears them to participate in May commencement. "I take responsibility for proposing that students be certified by the registrar by a certain date to participate in May commencement," Boeke said. This letter will be given only to students who have the final verification of his/her department chairperson. The registrar also has· to verify that the students has enrolled for, or completed, all degree requirements. All other obligations to the college need to be fulfilled by May 21 in order to reccive ilfo dwck-out letter. Any student who receives the checkout letter may participate in commencement no matter what happens academically after April 1. "If a student does not receive the check-out letter by April 1, it is important to come to the registrar to clear up any problems," Tara Gropp, assistant registrar, said. At graduation, students will not be given their actual diplomas, but rather a document in their diploma tube explaining the procedures for picking up the diplomas and when they will be ready. "We don't want to hand a diploma to anybody unless we're 100 percent sure that they are ready to graduate," SuttonSkinner said. The diplomas for May graduates who apply for graduation before Jan.1, 1995, will be ready for pick-up on May 31. But diplomas for students who have not applied for graduation by January 1, 1995, will not be ready until sometime in August. The final honors on diplomas and transcripts, such as summa cum laude, will be based on all semesters of Cabrini work. However, honors listed in the graduation progr11mwill be based upon work completed through Dec. 31, 1994. This is done because it is difficult to compute final grade point averages in the time between the last professor's handing in grades and the publishing deadline of the graduation program. "In past years, we would be working until midnight the night before graduation," Sutton-Skinner said. "It got to the point where we were not serving the students," Sutton-Skinner said. Both Gropp and Sutton-Skinner agree that the legal document that certifies completion of the degree is the transcrfpt, not the diploma. Under unusual circumstances, students who have previously been cleared to graduate, but later can not complete their degree requirements, are permitted to participate in the c_eremony with their class. But they must reapply for graduation. When all work is complete, a diploma with a later graduation date will be ordered. "It is important to me that these procedures are done in order to benefit the students," Sutton-Skinner said. "We are doing everything we can with the resources we have."
pbo10by Dawnielle Klopp Mamie Dorsey holds grandchild, Ravan Dorsey, as they join in the celebration for Matin Luther King Jr. See spread on pg.4. by Nina Marie Sciarrotta staff writer It is the publisher, not the bookstore, that determines the prices of new books, according to Lisa Tiernan, manager of the Cabrini bookstore. According to Tiernan, who began working in the bookstore in November of 1994, all new books are ordered directly from the publishers, who tell the bookstore what to charge for their books. When Tiernan receives written confirmation from a teacher of which books will be needed the next semester, she attempts to purchase as many used versions of the texts as possible directly from students. The Cabrini bookstore purchases used books that are needed for the next semester for 50 percent of the publisher's original list price, according to Tiernan. Tiernan then informs a wholesale company, via computer, of how many used books she is still in need of. The wholesale company sells their used books for approximately 75 percent of the original price. According to Tiernan, the books which the bookstore buys directly from students are sold back to students at a cheaper rate than the books bought from the wholesale dealer, because it costs the bookstore less money to buy them. After Tiernan has all the books she needs for the next semester, she buys back other books which are sent to a wholesale company. According to Tiernan, the company purchases used books at 10 to 30 percent of the original prices. The bookstore is given a list which specifies which books the company will buy and the amount the company is willing to pay for them.

Human existence has always been filled with tragedy and conflict. The past holiday season, however, was actually less violent than the majority of previous holiday seasons. It has not been a time of peace, but a time of less high-intensity warfare. Crisis in both Haiti and Northern Ireland have subdued. The aggressive Serbs have been less violent in Bosnia. Though, the hope for a lasting peace may be more idealistic than realistic. Statistically, violence has 4ominated the globe independent of rulers, politics and religion. However, defeatist attitudes may contribute to the cycle of violence. Our generation should not use the "history repeats itself' theory in order to excuse the lack of idealism. To teach the young the ideal of peace may eventually instill values of respect, acceptance of differences and the drive for more resolutions.
The New Year's Eve Legal Party last Friday night was a great success. Over 100 people attended and they all had a lot of fun. The Programming Board is planning more parties for the semester.

The registrar was quick to handle all of student's problems with late registration and dropping and adding classes. They were friendly, helpful and it was a great way to come back to school. It was quite a pleasant surprise to find a big screen color television in the Widener Center Gathering Area. It makes the area a much more appealing place to hang out. r ~l-1.>-<'-~ !,-..Ok..,; ,..,,~u::.,J When no means no Celene Wright, sports editor The movie "Higher Learning," by John Singleton, portrays life on a college campus as a metaphor to contemporary America. A lot of the scenes in this movie caught my attention, but the one that caught my attention the most was the rape scene. This scene was inttoduced by showing a few freshmen girls at a bar drinking with some upper classmen who happened to be males. The girls did shots of just about every lethal drink. All the girls end up drunk, and one makes the mistake of going back to the room of a guy she does not know that well. The two stumbled back to his room together. They got into bed and she giggled saying, "we should use a condom." He ignored her and continued to try to get her in the mood, by taking off her panties and his pants. What a romantic! He then started the intercourse without the condom on, which was against her wishes. While she looked very frightened, he continued to bob up and down, not at all interested in how she was feeling. If he bothered to look at ber to show he cared about how she was feeling, he would have seen she was not happy. She started to repeat nervously, "We should use a condom, we should use a condom." While she is thinking of "we," he is thinking "me." He replied by saying, "Hold on a minute," as if he only cared about himself. She started pushing him away screaming, "no, put on a condom, put on a condom." He kept on as if he did not hear her cries and said, "Just a minute" (How consoling!). Evidently, he only cared about his own satisfaction. She screamed for him to get off of her. She struggled and finally pushed him off of her and ran all the way back to her room crying hysterically. He chased after her, finally realizing that she was upset. This girl, in a whole new environment from the one she knew near Disney World, went home to cry about what she had just faced. I call it rape. He was doing something to her body sexually, which was against her wishes. She told him to use a condom an·dhe should have respected that. Another person in the theater had a different view from me. He felt as though she was crying over nothing. He said, "I know this b-- is not going to say she was raped." What made it so bad was he was there with his girlfriend and she did not say anything. She just kept quiet. I was also surprised because this man was close to my age. In another theater with the same movie playing, the audience started to cheer the man on as he entered the woman's body against her will. This attitude scares me. How ma!1y men out there think that just because a woman agrees to have sex with them, they can do anything they want to her body? It is still her body and she is still in charge of it. In the scene, a woman's body and wishes were being disrespected the same way a body is disrespected in an "ideal" rape. She did not consent to the unprotected sex, she said no, she screamed, and she fought to get him off her. What if he had AIDS or some other disease? What if she got pr~gnant? This was definitely rape in my book. Some might say I feel this way because I am a woman. That is not true at all. My boyfriend, who attended the movie with me, would never do something like that. There are a lot of men out there who would not agree with what that guy in the theater said. I, for one, feel he gives men a bad name. There are lot of sensitive and caring men that do nothing but respect and care for women. But, to those men and women who do not believe this was rape, wake up! These are not the cave men days, so we have to stop thinking in such a primitive manner. These are the '90s where your body is your own. We are at the age where we should respect others' feelings and thoughts, not ignore them. But, this incident goes much further then respecting one's feelings and thoughts. This is about respecting one's body. The human body is something that is beautiful and personal. It should always be nurtured and respected. Rape in no way, shape or form nurtures or shows the body any kind of respect. When I heard that young man in the theater say those ignorant things, I wanted so badly for him to be put in that position. How would he feel if sex was forced upon him in a way that made him uncomfortable? I think he would then feel for that woman on the screen. I hope there are not a lot of men out there who feel the same way as that man in the theater did. If so, that makes for a dangerous world for us all to live in. Please start to give those around you more respect. We are all human beings and should be treated as such. Whether it is in the movies or in your room, NO MEANS NO, no matter what language it is said in! EditorInchiet. KellyMcOonald ManagingElilcr: C8rolne Croley Op-ed Edllor.Jane S. Van lngen NowsEdllor.

Sheila Brady, features editor For24 Christmases, peace would come to Northern Ireland for three days. The people of Northern Ireland enjoyed those three-day cease-fires, and smiled despite the fact they knew all too well that every Dec. 26, both the Republicans and the Loyalists would start the fighting again. But not this year. By the time Christmas arrived this year, the Provisional Irish Republican Army had put to rest its arms for more than three full months, not three days. The obnoxious clanking of the British Royal Ulster Constabulary foot patrols, up and down the streets of the towns in the Six Counties, was silenced. The British soldiers at the borders and check points, with their terror-inflicting guns previously pointed in the faces of each citizen, tourist and passerby, were absent. Their suspicious eyes were not there to look into buses, check bags, search car trunks or give harassing winks to young girls. No mothers dreaded listening to the news on the TV or radio, for this was a time of peace, well almost. Most negative thoughts revolved around doubts on whether or not the cease-fire would last. Who could criticize those doubtful thoughts when on Dec. 10, a veteran Republican, Martin Meehan, was rushed to the hospital as the result of an RUC (British police) beating? The following night a bomb was found and defused just hours before peace talks began between the British and Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican movement. A survey in Northern Ireland conducted by the Committee on the Administration of Justice questioned more than 1,100 18 and 19- year-olds on everyday life there. Results showed that over 50 percent of Catholics and 20 percent of Protestants said they had experienced harassment at least once. This is how young adults in Northern Ireland are treated by British Police forwalking down the street of their towns. They are forced to walk barefoot through the town, drenched-with buckets of water, physically assaulted and sexually harassed. These "cops" not only ridicule the Irish outside in public but "inside" jails as well. Previously, prisoners incarcerated in Long Kesh, County Antrim, lived in unsanitary conditions and suffered unspeakable inhumanities at the hands of the British. Now, for the political prisoners of war inside cells today, circumstances have actually improved somewhat. They are now allowed to roam to other inmates' cells, rather than be restricted in their own cells. A large proportion of these POWs are young men who know no other way to fight for their country's freedom but to tum to violence. Many of their families and friends pray to hear answers and negotiations of the peace talks granting amnesty to all the POWs. These freedom fighters may have ·bright futures ahead of them. A country with its arms at rest can have no reason to hold them behind bars. Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, swears their release must be promised by the British in order for any peace agreement to be agreed on. He has spoken in many cities, including Philadelphia. He visited the United States thanks to a visa that was finally granted by President Clinton. He spoke the words to our audience: "I am here not because the British government is afraid of me. I am here because the British government is afraid of you."
Call
Sincerely, Lisa Bogia Director of College Relations
Those words stuck in my mind, and I wondered what our government should do. President Clinton promised the Irish-American voters, during his 1992 Presidential campaign, that he would help put an end to the troubles of Northern Ireland. Apart from the visa granted to Adams, Clinton has only commented on the issue. Clinton said, reflecting on the cease-fire, "I urge the IRA, and all who have supported it, to fulfill the promise of today's announcement to end the use and support of violence, just as we continue to call on all parties who have sought to achieve political goals through violence to cease to do so." Although it is touching that he seemed to care, he failed to mention the names of the Loyalist paramilitary organizations, like the UDA and the UVF, whose killings have succeeded that of the IRAs for the past five years. With more than 44 ~illion people in the United States claiming Irish heritage, Clinton should think harder about proving his support for a permanent end to the violence. After all, our original 13 colonies were ruled by the same people who are now occ1,1pyingthe six counties in the north oflreland. Isn't it funny how quickly we forget? Now, it is almost a month after Christmas and British soldiers continue to patrol only at night. Vigils and marches and other nonviolent missions for peace commence all over Ireland, as they have for 25 years. Peace talks trudge along at a snail's pace. Since the IRA is believed to be reviewing its cease-fire, the people, no doubt, are hoping for a peaceful Easter.

To the editor, While the feedback about the FYI in the Dec. 9, 1994 issue of Loquitur was not positive, it was good to know the community respects the publication as the official source of information for faculty and staff. However, the college relations staff wants the entire community to have an accurate understanding of what's actually happening with FYI. An article in December's FYI stated that the publication was going to be disseminated through AS400. It also said that anyone not on AS400 would receive a hard copy of the publication. It will be exactly what will appear on the AS400. We are exploring the possibility of sending FYI over the Internet to faculty and staff who aren't on AS400. If you get a copy of FYI now, you will get one in the future. If you are on the AS400, you' 11get it through the e-mail. An explanation of how to use E-mail and access FYI will be sent soon. The· purpose of putting FYI on the AS400 is to make it a more interactive and, eventually, more timely publication. We are provided with the techno- • logical resources to log on to a computer network. Why remain stagnant? It's now our responsibility to use these resources to the fullest. This move saves paper (money) and allows the college relations staff to fulfill more of its many other responsibilities. If you have any questions about FYI, please call the college relations staff at extension 8254 or 8258.
To the editor: I am writing in response to a front page article that appeared in the last Loquitur, Vol. XLI, No. 13. The article, written by Laura Testa, was about the Senior Dinner and the prestigious Mother Ursula Award. In the article, I was quoted as saying- "I expected Melissa Tobias to win, because you just expect some things from some people." This is a misquote! I would never say something as rude and insensitive as that to anyone, let alone a Loquitur reporter. However, it was not Laura Testa who interviewed me, but Christina Feehan. I said to Christina that I was surprised I had been nominated, but that Melissa Tobh1s's nomination was not a surprise. It is true, I expected Melissa's name to be nominated. Not once did I give a prediction! Christina interviewed me on Tuesday night, at the last minute, for five minutes. She did not take notes and she promised me that she would call me later that night to go over the quotes. I never received a call. I am very disappointed. I realize that writing for the Loquitur is a class and that mistakes are made. However, this mistake could have been avoided. I will be looking for an apology in this issue of the Loquitur.

The Freedom Theatre presented a soulful re-creation of black history through the ages, with the use of song and dialogue. This performance was part of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration held on Monday, Jan. 23. The purpose of the performance was to inform people of black history in America. Rhythmic, hand-clapping songs helped get th~ audience involved. The performance was full of audience participation that delivered a strong message. bookstorefor half ofwhat theyoriginallypaid Not only would this give the students selling thebooks moremoney,but it would also allow the bookstore to sell used books at a cheaper rate. Tiernan said there are always problems with obtainingthe ideal situation.''Every case scenario that you hope will happen, doesn't," Tiernan said. Tiernan said a problem many studentsrun into is new editions are printed and they are unable to sell their books to the store or the dealer. 'There were many new editions this term," Tieman said Anika Hawkins, an actress in the performance, re-created a part of Rosa Parks' struggle with discrimination. Parks, a forerunner in the fight for civil rights, was arrested in the early '60s for refusing to sit at the back of an Alabama bus. Hawkins also portrayed Shirley Chisem.
• The performance was complete with musical accompanist William Brock. The group covered racism and discrimination. They spoke of discrimination among the races and the sexes. One of the songs, used in the performance, in which the main theme was freedom and equality, tied the theme together with religion. They also spoke of how black people had to map out their lives. Some of the leaders in the black community they spotlighted included Lena Home, Shirley Chisem, Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. Dubois, Rosa Parks, Catherine Dunn, James Brown and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The phrases from the songs encompassed the theme of the performance, songs such as ;;nie Greatest Love of All," "The Choice is Yours," and "Moving Onto Victory." "I feel that the music parallels the show," Broch said. The overall performance brought a new insight and understanding to the black history movement. This brought an insightful close Cabrini's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration.

T'ieman, a recent graduate of Michigan State University,said she wants to be able to sell as many used books as possible because she remembers how expensive it was to buy books for classes. Follett,thecompanythatownsandrunsthe bookstore, is a Fortune 500 company which consistsof approximately450 bookstores,the majority of which are specifically college stores. Also on Tieman's agenda is obtaining a better selectionof Cabrini clothing. Tieman said the size of the school can be a problem when tryingto get the companies to give the bookstore a better selection. "Because we are a small school we don't have much to pick from," Tiernan said "I am going to get some newthingsin in the nextfew weeks." Scott Dorsey recites 'Words of Reflection. "

Another actor, Daniel Elton Burnett Jr., said he related to the performance as a whole. Burnett helped recreate aspects of the struggles of Frederick Douglas and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Actress Lisa Monique Cartmell had a stunning performance as Lena Home. Her talented vocalism and rhythm gave grace and elegance to Lena Home and Catherine Dunn's memory. "I relate to Lena, because I know the character," Cartmell said. "I am learning about my other character Catherine."

Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student development and dean of students, said he is trying to be more patient with his three children, ages six, four and one, at bedtime. Bonfiglio said it is a challenging experience, although some evenings are better than others. As easily as resolutionsare made, they are broken. For some, making the resolution was as far as they got. Ediely Espinola, a first-year student, said she wantedto "stop being so bitchy." Heather Odium, a first-year student, wanted to stop swearingand to watchwhat she eats. Though, shortly after she returned to school after the holiday vacation, she began swearing again. Also, Dan Luther, a senior, said he wanted to stop drinking beer after the new year but has already broken the resolution twice. While Espinola, Odlum and Luther have not been so good at keepingtheir resolutions, a few other students have been going strong since the new year. Joe Barilotti, a sophomore, said he made a resolution to make sure his hair is always perfect. Christa Gervasi, a sophomore,said she is watching her weight and hopes by the end of • the semester to shed a few pounds. Some have taken the step to make change in their lives, and other sought the initiative to make change. A major opinion stated among many was that they do not make resolutions. The main reason for this was because they always brake them or forget about them. Like many, the Rev. Ambrose Cashman, campus chaplain, said he never makes New Year's resolutions, because he always forgets what they are. By the time he remembers, he said he has already broken it. Whether resolutions are made and broken, or not even thought about, a new year is always a time for change, whether. welcomed or not.

Resolutions stumble or fall by Allyson Hannigan staff writer Year after year we watch "the big apple drop" to bring in the New Year. For many, it is the beginning of another event-filledyear. The new year is a time for change, to move on from the past year and start off fresh. Each year,peoplemake resolutionsto make change in their lives. If 1994 was a bad year, now is a time to make the best of an upcoming year. At the start of the new year, people get married at the stroke of midnight, the first new babies are celebrated, millions of people celebrate into the morning hours and make their resolutions. For many, the new year is a time to make personalchangesin their lives. Lisa Mininno, a first-year student, made a resolution to get her life in focus, to set her priorities straight and keep the most important people in her life close to her. Paul Kleschick,also a firstyear student, said he is making changes by keeping fafthful to his woman. Megan Wilmot, a sophomore, said she also hopes to make a personal change by working harder in school. Many made reS<?lutionsto be good to others and to improve relationships in their lives.

According to Bieg, there is no need for jazz enthusiasts to become alarmed. WYBF has even set aside a two-hour show hosted by junior.DJ Glasgow. The station has also added some new shows. There is a two-hour oldies show on Sunday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., with Mr. Bill and Wild Bill as the hosts, and on Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. there is Cavalier Wrap-Up, a complete summary of what happened to your favorite sports teams in the past week, hosted by junior Brian Mooney and sophomores Justin Mirigliani and Jim Martin.. In addition, talk show junkies can still pick up the phone and voice their opinion during Cabrini Watch and talk with Kim Sheldron about events happening on campus, on Sunday from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. There is also Sports Source, a call-in talk show on Wednesday nights from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., with Mooney and Mirigliani. Coming to Sunday nights, there will be a new high school-talk show. The panel will consist of two boys and two girls from a local high school and they will discuss important teen issues.

These events include discussion groups on various topics, cooking demonstrations and children's story time. "Most of these events are high!y attended," Debra Higgins, director of public relations for Borders in Springfield, Pa., said. However, their main goal is to get input from its shoppers on what types of events interest the community. This will allow for a higher demand which will benefit the store in the long run. "Sometimes no one shows up at all," Higgins said. She is in the process of planning the upcoming February events and is open for suggestions. Encore Books is in a class of its own. Being the oldest of the three, they do not base their customer service on the attraction some may have to a coffee shop or social scene They base their store solely on the selling of books by a helpful staff, allowing the customer on the run to purchase items quickly without the leisurely atmosphere. Encore Books carries its own weight against the competition, and its excellent reputation is what makes it so successful. At present , the Ardmore store does not offer any outside activities. However, in the upcoming months they are beginning to prepare some events that will be going into effect come the spring.

"For all of those students who enjoyed listening to the old WYBF-FM there is no need to worry," Bieg said. At night, the station will switch back to a format geared toward the college student. "There are shows for every type of musical preference from alternative, heavy metal, rock, dance and rap. For all the dead heads, there is even a Grateful Dead hour, hosted by Mike Verna." Friday nights, students can take a trip back ·and rock to the sounds of the '60s, '70s and '80s, with Jason Jungreis and Dave Martell spinning the tunes. And for the romantic type, Kristen Vento hosts Sheet Music, which plays many favorite soft rock ballads and love songs packed into two hours on Sunday nights from 10 p.m. to midnight.

These stores are not only a place to buy books. For many , it is a social event where they have the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests and to get involved in the activities that they hold each month.
Mary Burfete staff writer A West Coast trend stretches east. Bookstore-coffee shops now sweep the East Coast. In the past few years, Borders, Barnes and • Noble and Encore Books have been the sight of some of the hottest new hangouts. In the Radnor and Ardmore areas, these three stores are separated by a mere three miles along Lancaster Avenue. The competition is stiff, yet offering the community a variety allows each store to hold their own special qualities that make them equally successful.
WYBF reaches larger audience by Dave D/Matteo staff writer Tell your friends and call the neighbors, the voice of Cabrini College has changed. WYBF-FM (89.1) made the format change in September 1994 in order to attract a larger listening audience. Up until last semester, WYBFused to play only alternative music, similar to WDRE-FM (103.9). But this summer, when Sher-i Sabot was hired as general manager, the changes at the station were right around the corner. Sabot said the reason for the format change is so WYBF-FM could cater to an entire community. Junior Stephanie Bieg, music director for WYBF-FM, said the format change will be most noticeable during the daytime hours. "There is a mix of Top 40 and adult contemporary," Bieg said. "We want to get the faculty to listen, as well as the students." The staff at the station hopes this change in format will accomplish this goal. The station has also been hooked up into the gathering area so students will be able to listen during breaks in their schedules. One of the other most notable changes is students may now receive credit for working at the radio station, when in past years they could not. Students may earn one credit by signing up for the radio practicum class, COM 391, and fulfilling the requirements, Sabot said. Then if students would like to continue with the radio station, they can sign up for the two advanced radio class, COM 392 and COM 393, worth three credits each. Sabot said students in the advanced class become the executive members of the statior.. During class time, these students meet to discuss the station, new strategies and any changes they feel are necessary to make WYBF-FM meet a larger audience.

Borders is the largest of the three. Now known as Borders Books and Music, this store offers not only a huge variety of books, but also a full music store where you may find everything from classical music to the latest top hits. One quality that Borders shares with Barnes and Noble is their light coffee shops which are found on the upper level of each store. There you may find many selections of coffee and snacks. These two stores allow shoppers the opportunity to linger casually while making selections. Sitting at one of the many coffee shop tables allows shoppers to read, chat with a friend or for some, to make new friends in a safe environment.

Last week, however, SEPTA informed both the Philadelphia School District and non-public schools that they would have until Jan. 23 to pay the previous prices for tokens for the rest of the school year. Although the district was unhappy with the latest developments, district officials said they would pay the $4.5 million for the tokens. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia, however, said they did not think they would be able to come up with the money so quickly. The archdiocese would have to come up with $1.6 million for the tokens. However, on Jan. 23, Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua said that a benefactor, who wished to remain anonymous, was going to provide a grant to cover the interest costs of a loan the archdiocese would obtain. This would "spare hard-working parents the cost of the additional SEPTA fare increase for the remainder of the school year," Bevilacqua said. "The archdiocese has placed an order at the old SEPT A rate. These tokens will then be purchased by individual Catholic schools, which will then resell these tokens to students," Bevilacqua said. "This will save individual schools from having to come up with large sums of money to make these advance purchases." State law requires school districts to provide the same transportation subsidies to public and nonpublic school students. One fact which remains to be discussed is that Philadelphia is one of the few places in the United States where students have to pay for transportation to s_chool.
Last week in the world of news by Kimberly Sheldron staff writer Qfuesday,Jan.17-Earthquakebring.5 a risingdeathtoU An earthquakemeasuring7.2 on the Richter scale sent the death toll in Kobe, Japan soaring throughoutthe week.
The rate increases for SEPT A went into effect on Jan. 22. After first introducing a proposed fare hike last November, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority, along with the recommendation of the Rendell administration, passed a plan for rate increases. This is the first increase by SEPT A since 1990. The cash fare was raised from $1.50 to $1.60. The cost of tokens rose from $1.05 to $1.15. Transfers will remain 40 cents. However, prices of commuter rail tickets and monthly and weekly transpasses will increase seven percent. Other changes include the elimination of the premium to transfer from a bus line onto the Route C bus, which runs on Broad Street, right above the Broad Street subway. Customers who purchase weekly or monthly transpasses will be able to use them on certain commuter rail trains. The increase was proposed because SEPTA is expecting a deficit this year. The fare increase is estimated to bring in $11.9 million. Reasons for the expected deficit are a combination of dwindling federal, state and local subsidies. Also, there has been a decline in the number of city riders. One group that may suffer from the increase is students. In 1984, SEPTA could no longer handle the task of taking care of all the costs of student transportation, and the school district was stuck with covering most of it. According to district officials, SEPTA was going to allow students to

Frida¥, Jan. 27, 1995 SPORTS
Last week in the world of sports by Lisa Hines staff writer QNHL The National Hockey League will have a season of 48 games. If they did not carry out their season, they would have been the first professional team to not have a season. On Friday, Jan. 20, the defending Stanley Cup champion New York Rangers, with new coach Colin Campbell, opened their season against the tough Buffalo Sabres at Madison Square Garden. This was the first night of the regular NHL season. The Stanley Cup banner was hung on the rafters. The undefeated Boston Bruins challenged the 0-2 Philadelphia Flyers for another win of 4-1. Cam Neely, right winger for the Bruins, had three goals to add to his 12th regular season. QNBA Chicago Bulls had a 100-81 victory against the Houston Rockets this past weekend. Toni Kukoc.scored 18 points and Scottie Pippen and Steve Kerr scored 15 points each to assist the Bulls in the win. Robert Horry led the Rockets, the defending champions, by scoring· 19 points. Houston's Hakeem Oljuiwon shot a low 15 points. Oljuiwon, the NBA's MVP last season, entered the game as the league's third leading scorer, averaging 28.1 points per game. The Rockets have lost four of their five games.
Basketball In the last 66 seconds of the Pittsburgh-St. John's game in New York, Andre Aldridge scored eight of his 22 points. This left the final score 94-87 for the Pittsburgh Panthers first Big East win this season. Pitt(5-10, 1-6) led, 84-80, after a basket by Charles Minlend of St. John's (8-6, 2-5) with 1:06 left. The Panthers made 10 of 10 shots from the line, finishing with the victory. Making fans proud with a 66-60 victory, Villanova defeated Georgetown at the Spectrum. About 17,000 spectators •and a national television audience looked on as the Cats defeated the Hoyas. Jonathan Haynes, senior co-captain, had an impressive game with 21 points. J ; The Cats came out with a strong lead, and were up by 17 points at the half. Sophomore Jason Lawson had a strong game with many rebounds. In the second half, he mad·e many key free throws. Junior Kerry Kittles hit an important three pointer. Villanova and Georgetown are both 5-2 in the Big East. On Wednesday, Jan. _25, 'Nova will take on Miami in Miami. The University of Massachusetts played the University of Pennsylvania, winning with a score of 59-30. This was UMass' 23rd win in a row. As of this game, UMass is at the number one position. QNFL San Diego will challenge San Francisco on Sunday, Jan 29. Rich Kotite will be the New York Jets coach. Eagles owner, Jeffrey Lurie, still searches for a new coach, after a long public negotiation with Dick Vermeil. Lurie and Vermeil could not agree.

They were playing against the Pistons with a triple overtime score of 186184. -compiled by Father Ambrose 11 Tap in to Mac by Bob Macartney sports columnist Finally, after 234 football games, countless touchdowns, numerous interceptions, and an infinite amount of botched plays by the Eagles, we have finally come down to this. The grand finale, Super Sunday, the world's most watched event, the biggest football game of the year , the battle for conferencesupremacythat dates back to Lombardi and Starr and Namath, and hundreds of other larger-than-life individuals. The preparations are under way, the teams have arrived, the fans are getting psyched for the big one, Super Bowl XXIX. That's right, on Sunday,Jan. 29, the two best teams in the NFL will battle for the right to call themselves World Champions. And, oh what a battle it will be. The star-studdedSanFranciscoForty Niners, with their high-powered offense, and their dominatingdefense againstthe ball control San Diego Chargers and their human tank running back, Natrone Means. The Niners defense is so good, it needs a nickname. I volunteer the payoff. The 49er Payoff defense: It works ·historically,and itfits the players, from Deion to RicleyJackson, to Ken Norton, to Richard Dent, they all have been bought off by owner Ed DeBartolo Jr. As for the Chargers,they tried to give away their team after last year, letting go all-ptos Anthony Miller and Marion Butts. So, what we really have here is a battle between a team trying its best to buy a title, and one trying its hardest not to. Super Bowl XXIX. Not only is it the title, but it's also the line. Atleast,itseernsthatway. TheForty Niners are superior in every aspectof the game, and they are favored by the largest margin in Super Bowl history, 19 points. The NFC has dominated their AFC counterparts for the last decade, winning the last ten. The Niners pounded on the Chargers in San Diego earlier this season, 38-15. Steve Young wants to prove that he can indeed win the big one, and Jerry Rice is considering making this his fast game. All of which tells me one thing. Take the Niners. They win, they cover, good night, Chargers. Oh, and one other thing. With the industry paying huge money for advertisement time, you may want to watch the commercials, and go to the bathroom when the game is on. This way you can catch the most exciting part of the day. Niners 41, Chargers 17.
