Due to the lackof personnel,the slow service and long lines in the food court have been a problem for many people. As a result, students find themselves waiting longer than necessary for service and often end µp late for classes. The loud sound of fire alarms going off in the wee hours of the morning is quite annoying when there is no fire. The fire alarm was pulled on Monday around 5 a.m. by someone in Xavier Upper South. The resident's who had to vacate the building were justifiably angered with this immature act.

Ithinkitshouldbefurtherrememberedthatthe IRAdoesnotliruitsochbombsandbrutalkillings tothemainland.Theyalsobombtheirownpeople. It was only lastyearthattheyplanteda largebomb inmy hometownofNewtownards. Manypeople were injured and both Protestant and Catholic communitieswere disgustedby this senselessact of destruction. Newtownards is a small town which is primarily residentialwith some small family-ownedbusinesses. Toe Protestant and Catholic communities in this town live side-by-sidein peace. Many of the businessesdestroyedwereCatholicowned.Buildingswhich were built400 years agowere demolished. One year after the bomb, the people of Newtownardsare still trying to rebuildwhat was so coldly and cruelly destroyed by the so-called ''freedom fighters." All paramilitaries are terrorists. They kill people, maim people and destroy historical and ancestralhomes. Those of them who, luckilyfor the NorthernIrishpeople,have been captured,are notthe prisonersof war, romanticizedabout like heroes steppingout of an action movie. They are real life murderers! You need only to ask the mothers of any 17-year-oldCatholic manwho has been maimed in the brutal"punishmentbeatings" as of late, what they think of the IRA I guess it takes realsoldiersof freedomto hold downoneyoungmanandsmashbothhiswmts and kneejoints tosmithereenswith baseballbats, so he may never walkorworkagain. But,assome would have us believe,this is okay because it was all done for freedom. I think perhaps the only freedom taken here is that of human rights. I was furtherdeeplyoffendedby the very idea of the UnitedStatesinteIVeningto "save the day." It is clear from the opinion published that you reallyneedtohavebeenbomandbredinNorthern Ireland to truly understandthe diverse and complex issues involved. The troubles go much deeper than that of religion. Issues involved are those of politics and culture. Unless you have heard both sides of the story involved with my beautiful and mystical country, perhaps some opinions should be kept to yourself! Student disagrees with the message an opinion was conveying To lhe editor: I am writing in response to an opinion articlethat appeared in the last Loquitur,Vol. XU, No. 14. The topicwas the cease-firein Northern Ireland As an Irish-CatholicAmericanwho recentlyreturned from Northern Ireland,I was disgusted and angeredby the author's portrayalof everydaylife in that country. The author was very quick to give an absolutely horrible and tastelessview of the British soldierswho patrol specificareas. Not once did the author contest the actions of the Irish Republican Army, yet she was very quick to discuss the actions of the British governmentas those of a terrorist group. The IRA was portrayed as having the right to proceed with violent actions to get their points a~ while the UDA and UVFwere immediatelyreferredto as "paramilitaryorganizations."The IRA, UDA and UVF are all terrorists.It is that simple. As for the author's comments about President Clinton, I completelydisagree.The United States shouldnot involveitselfin the conflictsof NorthernIreland,the Republicof Irelandand England. The issuesofNorthernlrelandare Anglo-Irish,notAmerican.Her comment aboutthe more than 44 million people who have claimed Irish heritage is irrelevant when concerning Clinton's involvement in Northern Ireland's affairs. When will we all realize that there are issues that do not necessitate our assistance? The authorhas clearlyexpressedher opinionas that of an IRA supporter.Has she been to Northern Irelandto see the destructionand hurt that the IRA has caused?I have seen it first-hand.In my opinion, the authorhas done nothingbut furtherthe ugly untruthsthat have long plaguedthe people of Northern Ireland.
Editor'snote:This opinionis an extended letter. It was written in responseto an opinionpublished in is.we 14, publishedJan, 'l:7. As much as I am personally appreciativeof any support for a cease fire in Northern Ireland,I have to admit to being horrifiedby details in this opinion. Having lived in County Down, Northern Ireland for 20 years, I still feel a vast amount of loyaltyforbothmyProtestantand Catholicpeople. It is for thisreasonthat I must addresssome untrue statements and thoughts concerning my home country. I would like to begin by pointing out that the Royal Ulster Constabulary are not British-born foot patrolswho terrorizemy Ulster folk. Rather, they are ProtestantandCatholicyoung Ulstermen who have been dedicatedenough to their country to live the terrifyinglyand riskylife as ourproteir tors from all the paramilitaryorganizationssuch as the IRA and UVF. Basically,the Royal Ulster Constabulary have the tough job of keeping the peace between their people.
Ifeelitisimportanttorernemberthattheinitial reason the British army was brought to Northern Irelandwas upon therequestof the Roman Catholics of Ulster, who like many of their Protestant neighbors,werefearfulof the riotingand violence of the 1%0,and 1970s.TheBritisharmydoesnot teuorize the Northern Irish people;they are there to protectus fromorganiz.ationswho choseto bomb, brutally beat and shoot their own people. Having lived all of my life in Ulster, I canclearly see why the British army must carry guns and check citizensand tourists. Unfortunatelyfor the NorthernIrishpeople,weaponsmustbesmuggled in by the paramilitarygroups somehow. •
AsayoungNorthernlrishwoman,lcansafely proclaim that if having my personal belongings searched and checked by a young British soldier can save the life of a young child who may be caught in the ugly blast of a bomb familiarto that of the IRA, then I believe it is worth it! Growing up in NorthernIrelandwas certainly disturbing when it was impos.siblenot to notice my people bombing and shootingeach other.But I was never once, nor was any of my extensive family, or friends (Protestant and Catholic) harassedby the RUC or British army. Itmustalsoberememberedthatanyanimosity from the British people i<isomewhat justified, after all, most of them do not care about our so called ''fight for freedom." They just want to survive like everyone else. However, this is difficultwhen the IRA bombs their trainstations, shopping malls and other public pl.ares in England. These bombs kill innocent children or maim ordinaryfolk doing their day to day living.
What words can describe the overwhelming feelings of pride and gratitude that accompany such an announcement? To be given the Mother Ursula Award is to be told by your peers, your friends and your school that you have done something special. The truth is I did not know I was doing it. • I did kn_ow, however, ·what m'y peers were doing. Countless members of the class of 1995 have spe_nt hours and hours helping others. They are volunteers at local suinmer camps and medical research center~. They have taught children and adults the value of an education. In large numbers they have walked, jogged, danced and played to raise mon~y for causes from AIDS to environmental issues. My peers have gone into the prisons of the greater Philadelphia area to bring the power of the written word to those driven by desperation into a life of crime. They have given and given and given, and yet they gave me the nomination and the vote. Among those votes were those cast by my dear friends who have joined me in many of the activities mentioned in my nomination description. They are student leaders, Cabrini athletes, artists and musicians. They have organized campus parties, formal dances, fund-raisers, campus tours, theatrical performances, intramural sporting events, religious celebrations and class trips. Their contributions have changed policies and fueled the continuing evolution of this institution, and yet they chose me to receive this year's award. Their choice echoed that made by the faculty of Cabrini,- the men and women who have devoted their lives to educating people like me. They are the professors who have logged priceless extra hours to discuss the finer points of calculus, Shakespearean prose, graphic design and ancient Greek mythology to students inspired by their passion for knowledge. They are advisers, counselors and friends who have sculpted our futures by first seeing the image that lay beneath the granite surface of our young lives. They are the spark that ignited in us the desire to give to ourselves, our school and our world, and they nominated me for the Mother Ursula award. It is an award named for a woman whose vision years ago created an institution, a community, that will thrive for years and years to come. Sister Ursula Infante saw on these grounds the potential to educate hundreds of inspired, well-rounded men and women capable of bringing to this world visions, dreams, ideas and various degrees of the grace of God. In honor of her, the school created an award given to a student who shows signs of that well-rounded inspiration, who has given to Cabrini and the community and won the respect of his or her peers, friends and teachers. If that, indeed, is the true significance of the Mother Ursula award,lhen I will say again that it is an honor and a joy to receive this award. I may no longer be speechless, but I am still stunned and proud.
A funny thing happened to me on the way to the senior dinner a few months ago. As Bob Macartney and I were walking out of house 3, he said I was a finalist for the Mother Ursula Award. I was? When we walked into the mansion, I found out my friend was not simply pulling my leg. There was my name on a list of finalists for the award. I was stunned. Later, I joined my classmates in the dining room for dinner. As desert was served, Martha Dale and the staff of the office of alumni affairs approached the podium to begin the voting process. They read the list of nominees, an honor roll of other seniors who have given in immeasurable ways to their communities and the Cabrini community. The list of nominees and their accomplishments was long and distinguished, and I was honored to be in their company. Finally, ballots landed in front of us, and only three candidates were listed on them, including one Doug Eppler. I was amazed. After what seemed an eternity, Martha returned to the podium to announce this year's Mother Ursula Award winner. Ready to .congratulate Melissa Tobias or Trish Schuler, I found myself unable to move when Martha said my name. I was speechless.
Sincerely, JilianAppleby Sophomore

Some churches are doing a lot, but others are not doing much of anything. The Rev. Alexis Tancibok is the founder of MALCHUS, the only national Lesbian and Gay Christian monthly journal. According to the March/April 1994 issue of Y.O.U.T.H. magazine, Tancibok said in order to transform the ideology of the institution, Jesus had to challenge its mode of thinking. ''In. order to challenge the mentality of contemporary religious leaders, lesbians and gay Christians must openly challenge them," Tancibok said in the same article. According to Cashman, it is too easy to make the church out to be the bad guy. The concern should be on how individual people treat gays and lesbians. "This issue would be a lot easier to deal with if we could just sit down and talk about it," Cashman said. "Gays and lesbians have very real feelings. We have to take the time to learn about people." According to Primiano, many Catholics News analysis still have trouble accepting gays and lesbians becausethereisalongtraditionofcondemning homosexuals. "It has to do with the environment some Catholics grow up in," Cashman said. "A lack of understanding and the fear of the unknown are also obstacles to accepting gay and lesbians." According to Primiano, if a Catholic student came to him questioning their sexuality, he would help the student by not speaking negatively about gays and lesbians and by not judging the student for their actions. "I would help someone in this predicament by trying to get them to understand and accept themselves," Cashman said. "Doingso would show them that God loves them for who they are." "I talk about gays and lesbians, both in and outside of the classroom," Primiano said. Talciboksaid Christian gays and lesbians need to be as open about their faith as they are about their sexuality.

Rather, it was because many of Japan's central businesses literally crashed to the ground as a result of an earthquake that registered 7.2 on the Richter scale. The quake not only devastated Japan, the second-largest trading partner of the United States, but it also created economic aftershocks on the U.S. economy, businesses and consumers, according to a USA Today report. It is possible that if the epicenter would have been in Tokyo instead of Kobe, the temblor may have sent global markets into an immediate frenzy that could have sparked a recession in the United States, according to-a USA Today business report. Although shipments to and from the port of Kobe will be disrupted for months because of the extensive damage to its docks and loading cranes, economic analysts predict some of the negatives could become positives in their domestic economy. The forecast of Japan's gross domestic product in 1995 is not to be affected. Instead, it will add close to a half of a percentage point to economic growth next year, according to estimates in a USA Today business poll report. However, the port of Kobe will face the problems of rerouting shipments to and from western Japan through other ports. This could be an extremely difficult process with the roads, bridges and railroads that are out of commission in and around Kobe, leading and connecting these other ports.
The Philadelphia Inquirer said Japanese businesses were concerned about scientists' reports of when the "big one" is going to occur in their country. The "if' is not a concern anymore. It seems this quake has hit hard upon the designers of Japanese quakeresistant buildings. The damages so far are estimated to be worse than the ones in Los Angeles a year ago, and the architectural building codes were more stringent in Japan. Yet none of this stopped Mother Nature from taking her toll upon Japan's new structural design schemes.

• • by Mary Burfete staff writer On Jan. 17,1995, the Japanese were not the only ones affected by the tremendous earthquake in the city of Kobe. Steven Mann, an employee for Mitsubishi and native Philadelphian, was transferred to Itami, Japan, located approximately 15 miles outside of Kobe. There, he would reside for two months. On Jan. 7, 1995, his long anticipated trip had become a reality. Upon arriving, Mann said he was determined to experience his new lifestyle, and his expectations were high. On Jan. 17, his ambitions were nearly destroyed as he found himself in the midst of one of the world's most destructive earthquakes. "I woke up at 5:45 a.m.," Mann said. "My whole room was shaking, things were falling off my dresser and I couldn't stand up.'' Mann suffered through a terrifying experience and was not injured. Three hours later, he went to his office and attempted to contact his family to assure them that he was not hurt. "They had been waiting to hear from me," he said, "and were relieved to get my call.'' His family immediately began to panic as they heard the news of the quake and were waiting to hear that their son was out of danger. "The aftershocks were really bad," Mann said. "Within the next two days, there were at least 20 to 30 of them, and they would wake me up in the middle of the night.'' On Jan. 19, two days after the quake, Mann was on a plane back to his office in North Carolina. Due to intense damage to his company and the city itself, there was no need for him in ltami. The city was to undergo intense reconstruction and no one was sure how long it would take. Disappointed about his unsuccessful trip to Japan, Mann learned his stay in the United States will only be temporary. He was told he will return to Itami on Feb. 5 or 6. Mann is going to make another attempt to experience life in Japan. He is skeptical but ambitious, and said he hopes that upon his return he may assist in getting the country back on its feet. "If it were up to him, I'm sure he would have liked to have stayed and helped," Francis Mann, Steven's mother, said. Mann said he hopes he will stay in Itami for his intended duration. He said he would like to experience Japan in a different way than he did on his first attempt.

Religion takes another look at alternative lifestyles by Jane S. Van lngen op-ed editor Homosexuality and religion is an issue for many that has no easy answers. For thousands of years, Christianity has condemned gays and lesbians as being an "abomination to God." This attitude is changing. "I am unwilling to condemn a gay or lesbian person for their lifestyle,"Dr. Leonard Norman Primiano, assistant professor of religion, said. The Rev. Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit, Mich., went to a three-day workshop in Minneapolis, Minn., last October to tackle this explosive subject. He listened to gays and lesbians, to bisexuals and transsexuals, to gay priests and to heterosexual parents of homosexual children. In the Nov. 11, i994 issue of National Catholic Reporter, Gumbleton said, "The church is not at the point where we would simply say, 'yes, it is okay.' It is something we are struggling to understand. People must try to come to grips with the teachings of the church as it is set forth, and as they understand what it means for them."

Gumbleton said he does not wish to dispute Vatican documents, according to this same article. He also said he decided to speak publicly about gay and lesbians because he has compassion for those who love the Catholic church but are in danger of being alienated from it. Gumbleton said he wished to help heal those who are suffering as a result. The Roman Catholic Church teaches ho_rnosexualorientation is not wrong, but homosexual activity is evil. The church uses Scripture as their evidence. According to Primiano, however, all of the points noted as evidence in the Bible can be debated. "It is always a question of interpretation," Primiano said. "We know things about human psychology and physiology that people who wrote the Bible did not know." "I try to accept people as they are and work from there," the Rev. Ambrose Cashman, campus chaplain, said.

Many auto makers such as Honda, Toyota and Hyundai are facing plant shut-downs or shipment delays that are affecting international revenue, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Lumber companies around the United States have already increased their international wholesale prices because of the potential of additional exports. At present, it is up to each company to determine its own rerouting paths for its goods. This will hold even after the predicted $60 billion in repairs is completed. The cost of repairs, so far, is three times as much as it was for the earthquake in Los Angeles a year ago.

I was really surprised when I was picked. I did not expect anything, but the money will definitely come in handy. My birthday is next week, and I would like to go on a shopping spree." Although Foto and others were pleased with their winnings, others were disappointed because the advertising seemed misleading. Contestants were under the impression that winners would each win between $20 and $200.
by Christina Feehan & Sheila Brady news editor & features editor People walked in with straight faces. They were determined not to laugh. All they could think of was making some money, and tonight a straight face was the only way to do it. "You Laugh, You Lose!," was presented by a comedy troupe from California who came to entertain the crowd on Thursday, Jan. 26, in the Widener Center Lecture Hall. The lights went down and the music was turned off. The people hushed and the games began. After a half-hour of stand-up comedy, the game, "You Laugh, You Lose," began. Contestants were chosen to sit in a chair, put their hands on their knees and keep a straight face. Absolutely no laughter was allowed. No smiles. Not even a smirk. Scott Schultz, the first comedian and the "narrator," told a few jokes and tried to make the crowd laugh. For the most part, be was unsuccessful. Murmurs were heard in the crowd. "If this guy is one of the comedians, I can definitely win some money," an audience member said. The second comedian was Ken Diaz, or "Candy Ass." The laughter deafened the crowd during his act. Dave Anthony, the last comedian, was also funny and easy on the eyes. On the laughter scale, Anthony scored a 10. When they were done strutting their stuff, the judges were introduced. Sophomore Amy Jackson, junior Celene Wright and senior Ray Ewing were in charge of keeping track of time and determining if contestants were laughing or about to smile. Contestants only had to keep a straight face for one minute, and then the smiles could shine. Mirella Addesi, a first-year student, was the first name called. She lasted for 15 seconds. Next was junior Dan Meder, who won $15 because he just would not laugh. "It is funny how much school spirit there can be when there is money involved," Meder said. Tricia Schuler, a senior, won a total of $19 because she beat the clock three times against all three comedians. Contestants were given a chance not to laugh when the first comedian came out in strange costumes. If contestants won, then they would go up against the second and then the third comedian. Other student!i, mostly English/communications majors, were called to the stage, which gave the comedians material to work with and people to ridicule. First-year student Malik Rashied walked away with $14, enough money to get some beverages for the evening. Tara Filler, a senior from West Chester, Pa., was chosen, but could not keep her smirk from showing. The comedian who introduced her decided she looked like Jan from the "Brady Bunch." "I was laughing when I was in the audience, but when I got down there, he wasn't as funny," Filler said. "And since when do I look like Jan Brady?" Some students really wanted to win, but others were satisfied with a T-shirt, a complimentary parting prize given by the troupe. Senior Kathleen Foto was the big winner of the evening, and her money came in handy. She won $30 after three spins, and then she was given an opportunity to spin again because she was the highest "Gump"runsahead at Globes

Caranfa said some of his carvings include Santa figurines and mountain people. He has even done carvings of his wife, mother and father. Approximately 20 percent of all crafters earn money with their craft. Caranfa is not among these people but he said he enjoys going to shows and seeing other people's work. However, when he is at these shows, he said he realizes that his carvings are not good enough to sell. A few years ago, Caranfa' s work was displayed i_nthe library, but other than that, he has never shown his work. This March has been deemed National Craft Month.

Campusgoes craft crazy keeps us warm by Sheila Brady married to his wife Donna, who ness. 'The world is our oyster," Jason said establishing a store on the by Joanna Golesh assistant features editor Making crafts, whether it is quilting, painting or carving, is becoming more and more popular as time goes by. A recent national survey showed that there is someone crafting in 90 percent of American households. This survey also showed that crafts are attracting a younger audience. Last year, the craft industry was estimated at almost $10 billion. At present there are several cable television shows that deal exclusively with crafts. In June 1995 an all-craft cable network is scheduled to begin airing. There are also more than 100 publications solely devoted to crafts. Several students and faculty members on campus do crafts as a hobby. Although each of their hobbies is different, their reasons for crafting are similar to relax. Brenda Ortiz, a junior, is currently making a quilt, which she said is a long way from being done. Ortiz said she started the quilt over the summer and plans to finish it by this summer. Ortiz said her mother, grandmother and aunt got her interested in sewing. In fact, her aunt is helping Ortiz make the quilt. "Every time I see my aunt, she shows me the next step in making the quilt," Ortiz said. "I sew a lot in the summer just to have something to occupy my time,'' Ortiz said. "It is also a way for me to relax." Ortiz said she has also done a lot of cross-stitch and needle point. "I really enjoy doing different types of sewing crafts," she said. Making jewelry is also a craft which Ortiz said she enjoys doing. Ortiz said she usually buys her beads for her jewelry but that her sister makes her own beads out of clay. "I never knew that I liked painting," said Cherilyn Taggart, a first-year studen_twho paints as a hobby. "I ended up taking a painting class and now I love it." Taggart said nobody in her family is really into painting. "It's just something that I enjoy doing," she said, "even though I'm not very good." Two ofTaggart's paintings are being displayed in the Holy Spirit Library. "It's kind of neat to have my paintings displayed for everyone to see," she said. Taggart said she also enjoys going to differentartexhibitsand seeing other people's paintings. "I look at a professional's paintings and only wish I could be as good as that person," Taggartsaid. KristinBuchanan,a first-year student, shares Taggart's enthusiasm for the craft of painting. "Paintingis my way of getting outmy frustrationson canvasand relaxing at the same time," she said. Buchanan first started painting in high school afterhaving a paintingclass. She saidshe rarely paintsherebutenjoys paintingat home where she <:anwork without interruption.

"I'm heartbroken," said Jini Loos, a parent. "I'm hoping that there are solutions which will be found." McAleer, president of Sigma Rho, and Chase Thompson~Malter, president of student PSEA, asked Provost Thomas Boeke for a meeting to discuss the concerns of the students. Approximately 20 students met with Boeke and Dawn Middleton, assistant professor of education, to discuss their fears about the Children's School on Wednesday, Feb. 1. Present at the meeting were McAleer and Thompson-Malter, who voiced their concerns about being left uninformed as to the possibility of having the Children's School moved off campus. "When I was here for training this summer, I remember being showed the plans for the Athletic center, and there·was no mention of the children's school being knocked down," McAleer said, "I thought, being that it was important to the education majors, that it would be important to have a forum." Boeke informed students that he was unaware of the plans to build the ARC on the current location of the Children's School until November 1994. "I believe that as recently as Parent's part of campus. "It was not until late fall or November that it became crystal clear that would be the site used for the building," Middleton said.
EllenJackson,directorof theChildren's School saidthatshe is gladso manypeople are concerned about the future of the school. "I'm grateful to the students for showing how they feel," Jackson said. "That means a great deal to all of us." "I think that things went well and I hope that they continue to go well in the future," Thompson-Malter said. "Dr. Middleton has assured me that the administration is choosing between two or three sites, students will be involved in the decision," Thompson-Malter said. Thompson-Malter stressed the importance of keeping students apprised of the issue. "I think it is vital that we have a meeting between students and anyone and everyone who has some sort of stake at this."
Thompson-Malter said that it is very important to the students that the final site of the Children's School be on campus. "I think it is vital to the students that every possibility of keeping that Children's School on campus be exhausted before we decide on a permanent site off-campus,"

by Nina Marie Sclarrotta assistantOp-eeleditor The peaceful demonstrationwas held outside of the Children's School on Jan. 31, at 9 p.m. Approximately 30 students showed up to protest the removal of the Children's School from the campus. "We're here because we want it(the Children's School) here," Junior Shawn McAleer, president of Sigma Rho, said at the demonstration. Students voiced concerns the administration was not paying enough attention to student opinion in the matter. Lisa Bogia, director of college relations, attended the demonstration and spoke to students and reporters. "I can assure you that they do hear you," Bogia said to the assembled students. "It took a student asking me to sign a petition to make me realize what was going on," Paul Monte, a first-year student, said. "The school should have brought it to our attention."
Studentsprotestoff-campusrelocationof Children'sSchool
Middleton and Boeke both said they have been searching for off-campus locations for the Children's School, but have as of yet been unable to find one. They told students they must find at least a temporary site off-campus regardless of what happens in the long term. "No matter what happens, the Children's School will physically not be located there and therefore we have to find a place to put it," Boeke said. "If this doesn't work out for us it is not because we haven't put a large amount of energy into it," Middleton said. Several questions were raised during the meeting as to the interviews of the administration concerning the upgrading of facilities on campus. Late in the afternoon on Feb. 1 a press release was given out from Bogia regarding specifics on the renovations. According to the press release, "It will include a field house, new academic programs, an aerobics studio, weight room, physical fitness room, swimming pool, suspension track, meeting place, class-
The releasealso statedthatrenovations and addition·sto Sacred Heart Hall will house a fine arts center, a science wing, and a theater.
John Barclay, Vice President for Financial Affairs, said that the administration has been working hard to come up with other solutions to the problem,and that he welcomes any new ideas that have not already been considered by the board. Although the studentssaidthey feel the ARC will be an importantcontributionto the campus, they said keeping the Children's School on campus is a necessityto the educationprogram of the school. According to the members of PSEA and Sigma Rho, a large partof the past two weeks has been spent talking to other students to get feedback on student opinion. ''What we're hearing is thatthestudentswantthis(theChildren'sSchool) on campus,"Shawn McAleer,presidentof Sigma Rho, said. Although the ad.ministrationhas stated it has viewed several other options, the members of PSEA and Sigma Rho do not feel the administration is trying hard enough to keep the school on campus. 'Toe idea of incorporatingthe school intotheARChasneverbeenfonnallyaddressed," Thompson-Maltersaid. Barclay claims that the administration has reviewed all the options, but has not yet discovered a suitable solution which would keep the school on campus. ''I think the administration needs to realize how importantthis is to the students. I don't think they see what goes on down here. They assume," Rc;idsaid. ''It doesn't make sense. I always felt like Cabrini provided for everybody. It's part of the mission," Saboe said. Education vs. Recreation The Children's School recently received nationalaccreditationthroughtheNationalAssociation for the Education of Young Children, an honor given to only four percent of the schools in the country. The schoolhas also been asked to presenttheir DisabilityInclusionModel at an Early Childhood and SpecialF.ducationconferencein Hershey,Pa. in June. "How could a college which is known for education consider moving such an important part of the program?" Thompson-Malter said. ''I thinkthis placeis very important.It's helped me as a student of Early Childhood Education. I've made great contactswith lots of parents and other students," Reid said. "It cannot be denied that our situation on campushas been a benefit,"Jacksonsaid. "It will be ourjob to re-createthatenvironmentto the best of our ability." Jackson also said that she has not heard anything as of yet that would assurethe Children's Schoolofbeing broughtback on campusin future years. Reid also expressed concerns about the administration'smotivesfor buildingthe ARC at the expense of the Educationprogram. Briscoe, Saboe, and Reid all said they feel the administrationistryingtoattractmorestudentsby buildingthe ARC.

The death of Main Line socialite, Hope Montgomery Scott, on Jan. 9, revived memories of what the Main Line and our country were once like. Anna Kruse, associate professor of biology, has lived on the Main Line since 1954. She discussed what she believed happened to those Jost days and what is needed to recapture Jost values. Kruse said she believes the main factors in the change of the Main Line are the yuppies and the media. "They always had to keep up with the Joneses," Kruse said (referring to the yuppies), "but they also had to pass the Joneses." "America is about greed," Kruse said, "not Jove and not the family." Kruse said the yuppies were too materialistic. They always had to have the big money. The more wealth they displayed, the more successful they were. According to Kruse, the Main Liners never boasted about their wealth. They saved, but thi.y were very generous and charitable. "The Main Liners were very Joyal and honest," Kruse said, "qualities we don't have anymore." Another ingredient to the decline, Kruse said, is the media. "The media destroyed this country," she said. "No one ever knows what to believe," Kruse said. "The media turn thing_s around." Kruse said she believes the media has destroyed the original purpose of radio, television and newspapers. She said they have the wrong attitudes. "They never tell you about the good things that are happening,". Kruse said.

QFriday,Jan. 27-Male/female thinking scientifically researched Brain researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have uncovered the physical differences of why and how male and female thinking can differ. Physical differences in the brain are believed to be the reason why women are said to be more emotional and men more physically aggressive. Although their brains are physically more similar than different, they do not think alike. The study was based on the brain patterns of 61 Philadelphia-area subjects and their longnoted behavioraldifferencesbetween the sexes. The questions answered suggest that, on average, women are more inclined to exercise a portion of the lower brain, the "cingulate gyrus," that is highly developed and refines the way emotions are expressed. Men, on the other hand, had more activity in the "temporal-limbic system," or part of the brain from the era in evolution when reptiles flourished in respofll,Cslike fighting.

"They say nothing good is happening." "They think all we are interested in is the negative," Kruse said. "All the fires and violence, it doesn't give peace of mind. It just adds more stress." Kruse said she remembers when this whole area was all farmland and everywhere you turned there were horses. Now it is one big corporate and medical center. "Route 202 is so beautiful with all the proud corporate buildings that line up on both sides," Kruse said. "And this area has more medical centers than any other." According to Kruse, everyone wants to migrate out to the Main Line. However, there is no more space left. In addition, she said the area is not as safe as everyone thinks. "There is no difference out here than anywhere else," Kruse said. "I rarely go out at night. I never Jocked my doors until five years ago." Kruse said she notices a difference between people today and the by-gone Main Liners portrayed in movies like "The Philadelphia Story." According to Kruse, the Main Liners were quiet. They were like royalty and it was fun to know people lived that way. Today, people just get on the band wagon and join the crowd. Everyone is so busy trying to get recognized that they do not evaluate the whole process. However, Kruse said she thinks things can still be turned around. She said she believes family values will improve, but only when parents start right from birth. "Children need support," Kruse said. "It starts at the beginning. They can't have violence. They need Jove and security." "The government can't do anything," Kruse said. "You have to do it at home first."

The Flyers latest loss came Tuesday night when they lost to the division rival New York Islanders, 4-3. The Flyers came back from a 3-1 deficit with a late surge featuring two goals by Eric Lindros. The Flyers seemed to have the game tied when Rod Brind 'Amour fired the puck into a what appeared to be an empty net. Islander's goaltender Jamie McLannen denied Brind' Amour with a spectacular glove save to protect the win for the Islanders.

The Flyers were only one for 15 on the power play in those games. The team had only scored five goals in the first three games of the season. The bright spot for the Flyers so far this season has been the surprisingly strong performances by the defense.

The 49ers scored two touchdowns in the first five minutes of the game, and it was a romp from then on. Young threw a Super Bowl record of 6 touchdown passes, and threw for 325 yards in the game. For his efforts, Young was named Super Bowl MVP. This was a big step for Young in coming out of the shadow of Joe Montana. Defensive stalwart Ken Norton Jr.,became the first player ever to play for three straight Super Bowl champions, having won with the Dallas Cowboys the last two years. With this win, the 49ers have become the first team in NFL history to win five Super Bowls. They are a perfect five for five in Super Bowls. Although the Eagles were not in the Super Bowl, the spotlight in Philly is still on the team. The Dick Vermeil fiasco is still on the minds of Eagles' fans.

photo by Cstollne Croley Juniorvarsitypushesfor win by Paul Marturano staff writer The Cabrini Cavalier junior varsity basketball team pushed their way past Alvernia by a score of70-60 on Saturday, Jan. 28. The win brought the Cav's record to 5-6 overall and 3-1 since returning from the semester break. Along with the new semester comes new confidence and new players like Arie Hines, a firstyear transfer student from Stroudsburg University. Kevin Burton, a first-year student, became a new addition to the team. Last semester, Burton was a part-time student at Cabrini, and was not eligible to play. Ingo Zitzmann, a first-year student who was out with an injury last semester, is also new to the team. Zitzmann plays on both varsity and junior varsity. "They've helped us out a lot," Rob Rowe, the coach of the team, said. "They've taken the pressure off a lot of my big guys like Rich Grace." According to Rowe, the team has been depending on Grace, a junior, for shooting and rebounds. With the addition of Hines, Burton and Zitzmann, Grace can concentrate more on shooting. Cabrini fans held their breath as Alvernia broke out early with a 10-2 lead. On top of that, Kevin Breslin, a first-year student and the Cavs leading scorer, was knocked down for the count while trying to block a shot just 4:29 into the game. Minutes later, Breslin returned to his feet and took a seat on the bench. Minutes after that, he was playing again. Cabrini began to narrow the lead. With 1 :36 left in the first half, first-year student Dan Dotsey sank a three-pointer that closed the gap by making the score 26-26. Alvernia regained their lead. At the end of the first half, Alvernia led, 30-28. Despite the early scare, Breslin still managed to lead the team in scoring with nine points at the end of the first half, followed by Hines with eight. Statistics showed a _sloppy first half for both teams. Cabrini made 13 of 41 shots while Alvernia was 12 for 40. "The only way the game was going to pick up offensively was if we picked it up defensively," Zach Shuler, a first-year student and a Cavalier, said. "We have been trying to pick up the game in the second half," Rowe said. According to Rowe, the team has been working on playing better defense. Rowe said that the older guys on the team have been through bad first halves before. They keep their cool and it filters through to the younger players. Rowe also said he wants the team to have fun because playing on a team is not worth it if it is not fun. Alvernia took the court for the second half with the lead, not knowing it was the last time they would see it this game. Cabrini was out for blood. One minute into the second half, before Alvernia had a chance to enjoy their lead, Mike Tims, a senior, took it away Tims tied the game 15 seconds into the quarter and took the lead by sinking a threepointer, making the score 3330. Breslin followed up with a basket. With 13:50 left in the game, Zitzmann executed two perfect foul shots to give Cabrini a 10point lead, 45-35. The Cavs were not finished. Hines provided an insult to injury by making the score 47-35. Shuler broke up the small amount of offense Alvernia managed to generate and set Hines up for another two points. Dotsey added two more. With 11:20 left in the game, the aggressive Shuler broke up yet another play and set,Dotsey up for a three-pointer, making the score 54-35. "Zach is a little pest in a good sense," Rowe said. "He hustles and runs the floor hard. Tonight, he used his head and made good plays." Cabrini had taken off and was going through the roof with minutes left in the game. Alvernia made several attempts to come back but did not rise to the occasion. With about photo by Caroline Croley Mike Dever, a sophomore, goes up for the jump shot in the game against Alvernia on Saturday, Jan. 28. The Cavs had a victory of 70-60. They now have a record of 5-6. one minute left in the game, Alvernia's James Kiprislis put in a three-pointer that brought Alvernia within seven points of the Cavs (67-60), but they would not score again. Breslin added a basket with 37 seconds left. Alvernia committed three fouls in the last 37 seconds in order to stop the clock and buy time. It did not .prove successful as Cabrini Went on to victory. "We did it for Coach Rob," John Mack, a first-year student and team member, said.
The men's basketball team crushed Marywood with a score of 112-59 on Saturday, Jan. 28. The Cavs entered the game knowing they could win. Because Marywood is a young team, the Cavs were confident. Marywood came to the court with an overall record of 0-15 and a Pennsylvania Athletic Championship record of 0-9, while the Cavs showed up with an overall record of 9-6 and a PAC record of 5-3. Cabrini fans watched the game with enthusiasm and confidence that the Cavs would pull the game through. First-year student Ken Skitek gave the fans much to cheer about when he hit a threepointer with only seconds to go in the first half, giving Cabrini a 54-26 lead. Both teams came out in the second half, but the Cavs proved to be the more dominant of the two. "The tea_mplayed an excellent game, and Uunior) Billy Carr's shooting efforts should not go unnoticed," said sophomore Marie Augustino. As expected, the Cavs were victorious in their match with Marywood. They headed into the locker room with another PAC win. In conference games, PAC leaders are senior Nate Bowles in scoring with 109 points, giving him a 13.6 points per game average; Eric Tidwell in rebounding with 77 and an average of 8.6 a game; and firstyear student Far' d Nasir with 44 assists and an average of 4.8 a game. "Every game is going to be a struggle," said John Dzik, head coach of the Cavs. "I keep going over the basic skills of basketball with the team and we just need to put them into play." After a three-game winning streak the men's basketball team will face Alvernia on enemy courts on Saturday, Feb. 4. Alvernia has a PAC record of .9-1. right: Mike Dever, a sophomore and point guard, swings the ball to a teammate during Saturday night's game against Marywood. This is only a small example of the aggression the Cavs showed that night.
