Commencementspeaker Happy Birthday to you! concernsleft unanswered

by Nina Marie Sciarrotta assistant op-ed editor

Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, college president, has refused to deal directly withstudentswhenchoo,ingthisyear's commencementspeaker,accordingto senior classpresidentAmy Gallagher.

According to Gallagher, Iadarola has yet to responddirectlyto requests for a meeting between the two presidents to discuss the selectionprocess.

Iadarola was unavailablefor comment According to Gallagher, seniors were sent forms in spring of 1994 requestingsuggestionsfor a candidate for this year's graduation speaker.

Gallagherpresentedtheadministration with approximately12 or 15 names of candidates. Gallagher said she was then told that she had to research the accomplishmentsofthecandidatesand return the informationto the administration and the board of trustees,who would make the final decision.

Gallagherspentthesummerof1994 researching the backgrounds of the candidates,and presented Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student affairs,with the information.

Trusteesfinalize core requirementchanges

by Joe Marturano staff writer

The finalvotesby the facultyon the physicaleducationandthe three-credit religionrequirementswerepassed.

The board of trustees made the final decision on Friday,Feb. 24.

Accordingto Dr.DawnMiddleton, assistantprofessorof education,physicaleducationwillnolongerberequired for incomingstudents.

VillanovaUniversityinRadnorand Eastern College in St Davids do.not have any physical education requirements in their core curricula.

According to Dr. Margaret McGuinness, associate professor of religion,newstudentsarenowrequired to take three creditsin religion.

EasternCollegerequiresnine credits in religion courses, six courses in required classes, Old Testament and New Testament, and three credits in electives.VillanovaUniversityrequires six creditsin religion.The introductory

class,Christianity:TraditionandTransition,is requiredalongwith a religion elective.

Before now, Cabrini was the only Catholiccollegein the country,except in New York, that did not have a religion requirement.

In addition, religion courseswill satisfydistnbutioncategories,but one course will not fulfill both the religion and distributionrequirements.

Mixed emotionsfrom studentsand faculty are accompanying these rulings.

First-yearstudentBilly Myers said he feels that the change in the religion requirement is for the better. "It's a Catholicschool,isn't it?" Myers said.

"We're old enough to determineif we want a religion course or not," sophomoreJoey Barilottisaid. "So are incomingstudents."

First-year student James Shuler said he feels the same as Barilotti. "I don'tthinknew studentsshouldhaveto

take a religion course if we don't," Shulersaid.'"Therequirementisgoing to cause people to not want to take religion. It'll seem like a bother."

Dr.LeonardPrimiano,assistantprofessorofreligion,said,"I thinkit's very importantfor studentsto takea religion course."

Sophomore Heather Beltran was adamantlyagainstthe requirement.

"I think a basic religion course shouldn'tbe required,"Beltransaid. "I think they're interesting, but they shouldn't be required. If you want to expandyour mind, it's a good thing to take. But it shouldn't be required."

The religionrequirementis not the only thing on people's minds. Some people, but not many, agree with the changes in the physical education requirements.

"If you're participatingin an athletic program, physical education shouldn't be required," Myers said.

"Otherwise,it should be."

First-year-studentMirella Addesi said,"Oh well,atleastwe'Ubeinshape.

The incomingstudentswon't be."

"I think as long as the courses are offered, and the opportunity to take them and participate in athletics are available,theyshouldnotbe required," senior Doug Eppler said. "We're old enough to keep ourselves in shape."

First-yearstudent Heather Odium said, "I feel new students should be required to take physical educationif they don't belong to a varsity sport.

That's what we have to do."

First-year student Jessica Pfeiffer said,"Gym was one classI was always good in, but I don't think it should be requiredfor anyone."

"I thinkit's worth reevaluatingthat particularrequirement,"Primianosaid.

First-year student Denise Canaris participatesinboth socccrandsoftball.

"I feel that if the new students don't have to take phys. ed., no one should have to," Canarissaid.

While some people are againstthe changes, others are actuallyoutraged by the new requirements.

"I haven't taken a gym course yet and I don't plan on it," Barilottisaid.

"I'm here to make money,not to work out" First-yearstudentTomMcKeesaid, "I think it's a crock. What makes the new studentsso damn special?"

While there are people who are goingwiththeflow and otherswho are upsetby thechanges,first-studentBill Matoneycouldcare less.

Saying goodbye to home Regina Miller, · arts and entertainment eqitor

sign went up, my life changed-our house was sold. I kept telling myself it was the right choice. It was great for the kids' future.

Two months to pack turned into one week, then three days. It got done. The books I found on moving focused on the logistics of packing, not the emotional heartbreak, excitement and mood swings.

The ease of garbage-bag packing wasn't mentioned in the book either.

I needed more feedback. I found it in a letter, not a book. It was a letter to me from my daughter's school friend who wanted to know who she would eat luncl} with and play with at recess. She wrote her heart was split in half. I cried, and I tucked the letter away. I knew it was too late.

I sob when I pass my old neighborhood.

Things are different now. People seem more pretentious, more orchestrated and more methodical. I need to act as the soul liaison between my kids and other kids.

Kids don't pick up the phone and invite each otherover, nor do they just stop by. It is my job now. People think before they speak and talk in mannerly sentences. They keep their lawns manicured in the winter, and they don't put their kids' art work on their clean walls. My _newneighbors have formal brunches and parties at country clubs. My old neighbors just grabbed a lawn chair and an open invite was always assumed. Things are quite different.

"How could you have done this to me," Natale, my 10-year-old daughter, still remarks. "Because it is a great school district, and you will have a lot more opportunities," I try to choke out.

Instead, I just shrug my shoulders and wonder myself.

Moving beats out divorce and unemployment on the stress list. In light of this, it seems strange so many people choose to move. The complexity of moving can make people crazy.

It can be a living nightmare.

I know. I chose to move after much heartache and soul searching. Of course, the reasons for moving were memorized and made to appear real positive. In hindsight, it was quite an act.

It seems like eons ago, but late last summer an opportunity presented itself to me. The recent divorce of a friend opened up new opportunities. She gave us first dibs on her home. We thought about moving occasionally, to Mexico or the Caribbean, but never a half-hour away.

One week prior to finals and to the holidays, it happened. We said one last goodbye to our home of 10 years and moved on, to a newer, better house, to a nicer neighborhood, to the world called suburbia. The same white-faced suburbia written about on front pages of real-estate sections.

Until the final act of moving, our home was in constant turmoil. My 10 year old never quite understood what would make The chapel service celebrating Black History Month gave students, faculty and her parents decide such a drastic venture. staff a chance to acknowledge black culture.

Spring break is right around the corner, a vacation eagerly awaited by many students.

Somestudents are going to warm and sunny places for vacation. Somestudents are working and some students are just hanging out. No matter how they spend it, all students look forward to spring break as a time .off from all of the stress.

"I'm going to Salisbury, Md. to visit one of my old roommates, " A.lex Corkhill, a sophomore, said.

"I am going to just visit, do a little pattying and if it is warm enough, I will do a little surfing. "

"It depends on how we do in the tournament," junior Dan Robinson, a member of the basketball team, said. "Jfwe keep winning, then/ am not going anywhere, but if we lose I'm going to Fort Myers, Fl. If we continue winning we could end up in Buffalo, N. Y. Of course, I would like to keep winning and take a trip after school is over. "

".We don't haye a spring break," Rosel amattona, coordinator offaculty secretaries, said. "During the break our office is switching places with the graduate studies office, from the first floor of Grace Hall to the second. We are moving up in the world."

Recent grads find life after college prosperous

by John Lindsay assistant arts and entertainmenteditor The graduates of the class of 1994 have been very successful. This is according to the results of a recent survey conducted by Cabrini College.

Of the graduates surveyed, 91 percent are working full-time or part-time jobs, 80 percent of those graduates have positions related to their major. Another 6 percent of them are attending graduate school full time.

According to Nancy Murray, a personal representative for Bell Atlantic, and Nancy Hutchinson, director of career services and cooperative education, students need to be able to market themselves to a possible employer. Students need to know what employers are looking for in an employee.

Students are studying for careers, but studying for a career and getting a job are two different things. Students need to look for what skills they have that they can use to market themselves.

• Murray stressed the advantages of experiencing a co-op or internship.

"You get the experience you can't get in a classroom," Murray said. "A degree is important, but so is experience."

According to Murray and Hutchinson, there are many things a graduate needs to display in order to get hired.

Students need to be willing to do anything and everything for an employer in order to get hired.

The need to be into customer service and willing to meet the employers' needs.

Students should be fully prepared for an interview by being on-time and well dressed, but also having done their "homework."

During an interview, it is also important to demonstrate positive body language and know the name of the person you are meeting.

Know how to work every angle of the interview to maximize your chances of getting hired.

Students should do research on the company, find out what the company's goals and their plans for the future. The employer should know that the student is aware of the plans and goals of the company.

The way to research the company would be to check with career services, read annual reports, talk to people within the company or use resource centers in the library.

It is always be prepared for certain interview questions and have an impressive resume.

Career services is always willing to help current student or alumni prepare for an interview. They can help with role playing in a mock intervieworrehearse commonly asked questions.

Contact faculty or career services for help with resumes, recommendations or other help you might need.

Students should be knowledge of their field of study but also have good basic skills.

According to Hutchinson,with these skills, students can go anywhere.

Students should definitely study what they like, Hutchinson said.

According to Hutchinson, if you are good at what you do and like it, you will get a job and be happy.

Student should make themselves well rounded with diverse courses and a broad course of study.

The people mostly likely to get a job are those that start early and plan ahead. They need to be focused and directed.

It is very helpful to research the line of work that you would like to get involved in.

It is very important to convey your own image. An applicant would need to be trustworthy and honest.

Students need to know what the job market is like. Right now, the area to get into is the healthcare industry. This is the result of the high birth rate during the baby boom.

Those individuals in the future are going to need healthcare.

Other areas that are booming are law enforcement and computer science. While in college, student involvement does help. It shows the employer your willingness and effort to be a team player.

Most majors do well and are placed within their field of study.

Mollie Chesna, class of 1994, is working as a sixth grade teacher at St. John's.

Education majors are usually placed and work as substitutes for a while, waiting for a spot to open up. A lot go back to the home area and teach in schools there.

Others go to graduate schools or teach special education.

Stephen Murray, class of 1994, is an account executive for WAYU-FM, 95.1.

English and communication majors spread out to all there different fields of study.

Most are placed in careers, usually at entry level positions and they work their way up in the company or business.

Donna Cippola, class of 1994, is a student at Temple University's Graduate School.

Psychology majors, for the most part go, off to graduate school.

Kevin Alexander, class of 1994, works for Johnson Controls.

Due to the nature of history and political science, majors in these areas of study are usually able to find a variety of career options in business, government at all levels, law and teaching.

Joe{ McGovern, class of 1994, is in management training for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Kathleen Perkins, class of 1994, is an under writer for U.S. Healthcare. Paul Bethany, class of 1994, works for Microsoft. .

Business and computer science majors usually get jobs within their fields.

"I encourage students to do what they like to do," Hutchinson said. ''They will succeed if they like what they are doing."

In the future, people will need to get higher levels of degrees because there are fewer and fewer jobs.

Results of the Senior Survey for the Class of '94 Out of 307 graduates, 48 did not respond. Therefore, this survey is based on 259 respondents.

O 91 percent of respondents are working full or part time (83 percent in 1993)

O 6 percent of respondents are attending graduate school full-time (1.5 percent in 1993)

Professorenlightens mindswith knowledge

by Beth Molloy assistant news editor As one walks down the row of

faculty offices in Grace Hall, one office stands out as an interesting plac'! where character cries out.

This would be the office of Dr. Leonard N. Primiano, assistant profesSQrof religion. Out of all of his accomplishments, the most notable would be the satisfaction of doing something he enjoys.

"I always say to Cabrini students, in the end you should really do what you like and enjoy yourself," Primiano said. "If you force yourself to do something else, you are going to hate it."

Primiano began teaching at Cabrini in the fall of '93. He said he is very interested in the students and that they work to their potential. He said it is important that students do what makes them happy. He also said students should not be expected to know exactly what they want to do during their time in college.

"There's a lot of pressure on the college generation to immediately know what it is they are going to do, and sometimes they don't," Primiano said.

Primiano said there is nothing wrong with not knowing what you want to do. Sometimes, this means you should not be in college but in

the work force, where you can explore your interests and capabilities.

Primiano teaches courses such as the Search for Meaning and Sects and Cults. He was raised in Cheltenham, Pa., and after graduating from Cardinal Dougherty High School, he went on to the University of Pennsylvania.

Primiano holds a masters of theology degree from the Harvard Divinity School, as well as a dual doctorate from Penn in folklife and folklore studies and religious studies.

"I majored in religious studies because I liked it," Primiano said.

According to Primiano, he studied the expression of religion in images and objects and today he still looks for them.

Primiano said he would like to see college students appreciate religion more. He said he feels students tend to take it for granted.

"It canadd value," Primiano said.

"It can add quality to their own lives."

Primiano said he believes the way students are taught religion may be a factor in the decreased interest.

"I try to teach it in a dynamic way because it is a dynamic subject," Primiano said.

Primiano said he believes people

are all religious in their own ways.

As for Primiano, he said there is

nothing better than a good Mass and that he is disappointed when they are not good.

"It can be an extremely emotional and satisfying experience," Primiano said. He also said the Catholic Church is in need of informed, intelligent believers in order to make the Mass a positive experience.

Before arriving at Cabrini, Primiano taught at Penn for six years. He was in the folklore department at the Memorial University of Newfoundland in New Brunswick for one year. Then, in the fall of '93, he landed at Cabrini.

"I got lucky," Primiano said, "the job appeared when I needed it, I applied, and I got it."

"I'm thrilled to be working here," Primiano said.

Primiano said he was deeply influenced by one of his professors of folklife studies at Penn. Don Yoder was the man who Primiano said opened his eyes.

Primiano said Yoder showed him the light. He taught him that a deep culture existed in Pennsylvania, one that is beyond that of the Puritan culture that so many of us are taught. Yoder taught that a local culture exists right here.

"He opened my eyes up to look

Dr. Leonard Primiano,assistantprofessor of religion, talks with sophomore Michelle Paquet after class. at that," Primiano said.

Yoder's influence did play a ro!e in Primiano's decision to teach.

However, he said it was only after several years that he felt he had what it takes to be a teacher.

"I didn't think about the teaching," Primiano said, "but I first thought about learning, and all the materials I needed to know." .

According to Primiano, a teacher needs to have confidence in what it is he or she is talking about. It was only after several years at Penn that Primiano said he gained this confidence.

"If you are standing in front of a bunch of students when you go to teach, and you don't have anything to say to them, nothing will happen," Primiano said.

Through the pursuit of his dual doctorate, Primiano said he felt he had something to say. He said he felt he had gained enough knowl-

edge to face a classroom of students.

"Not only did I have content, but a point of view," Primiano said.

Primiano said he bas many hopes for his future. These hopes include several projects involving Father Divine and Mother Divine, a religious group centered in Philadelphia.

He said he would also like to get involved in the Peace Mission Movement.

Primiano also has plans to write a paper on the supernatural and how it is portrayed on television.

Primiano said he wants to become involved in projects that interest him and make him happy. He said he feels students at Cabrini should do this as well.

"Students shouldn't settle for second best," Primiano said. "They shouldn't have to."

Not just Oscar who is in the can

by Diane Wrobleski staff writer

There is a possibility that Big Bird of Sesame Street might be flying south for more than just the winter.

He may be but forced to fly the coop as his home in Philadelphia, television station WHYY,a member of the Public Broadcasting Services, faces federal cutbacks.

The cutbacks could cause the quality of the publicly-supported station to diminish.

WHYY, channel 12, is not the only publicly-supported station exposed to this highly debated issue.

Other television stations like WTTW of Chicago, WNET of New York and stations even local to the root of the problem in Washington, are facing the possibility of losing the government's federally-funded support.

The Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said he wants to cut funding for public broadcasting.

WHYY is among the majority of public broadcasters who have opened their wings to the airwaves in order to gain and raise awareness concerning the threat of federally funded cutbacks.

Theyareurgingtheiraudience to write to their

congressional

representativesand express their

feelings about the value of public television and radio.

Republican Curt Weldon, whose district stretches from Delaware County into portions of Chester County and Montgomery County, has received numerous calls supporting PBS, according to his press secretary, Dana Caterson, a 1994 Cabrini graduate.

Senior Margit Karlsen, a political science major, has spearheaded Cabrini's efforts to speak out to local congressmen about the issue.

"It all started about two months ago·, when my sister and I began talking about it, wishing we could do something about this, to stop it," Karlsen said.

With the help and support of the newly established pre-law club on campus, Karlsen and other members are actively putting a petition together.

They are gathering at least 500 names of students and faculty before they send the petition to local federal offices.

"Most people received a flier in their mailboxes and that's how they learned about it," Karlsen said. "A lot of people did read it, but still, many did not know about it."

"When we do gather enough names, numbers and addresses, we plan on sending it to Rick Santorumwho is for cutting

funds, Curt Weldon, a supporter, and even Spector who doesn't 'know''where he stands because he is running for president,"

Karlsen.

Who knows, we might even send it to the President," Karlsen said.

WHYY receives federallyfunded support in the amount of approximately 9 percent of the total operating budget, or $1.7 million of its $19 million budget from Washington.

Its smaller cousin, WYBE, Channel 35, with its $1 million budget, receives up to 40 percent of its funding from the govetnment.

A decrease or loss of this money would create a reduction in TV 12 and 91 FM services to the Delaware Valley.

This could mean losing not only "Sesame Street," but "Nature" and other quality programs that help students learn math and science and teach reading to adults.

"When children are allowed to watch TV, this is one station that parents don't have to supervise or worry about what their chil-

drenarewatching,"Karlsensaid.

With the help of more people like Karlsen, hopes are that we will not have to say bye-bye to Big Bird.

Brianna Elyse Karlsen was present at the petition signing, in the WidenerCenter GatheringArea, to show her disapprovalof the possible funding cuts of public broadcasting. Karlsen is the daughter of senior Margit Karlsen, a political science major.

Coordinator cares for community

by Celeqe Wright sports editor

Walking into an office,located in Grace Hall cooperative education and career services department,you will notice pictures of different Cabrini students enjoyingthe time they spent tutoring at the Paul Fly School.

In the photos, the tutor and the child are smiling and working together. These students are giving of themselves, not only for a grade but for the happiness of a child.

It has to be a pretty specialjob to bring such a beautiful quality out of such people. Part of thatjob, and the office, belongs to Jeaneen Riely, coordinatorof communityinvolvement for Seminar 300, who is busy with workatherdesk. Sheisfullofsmiles when giving up a half-hour of her time. That smile could only belong to someone from a small town.

Imagine yourself in a town like Mayberry. You know, the town where Andy Griffith lived with his clueless assistantBarneyFife. There is hardly any crime,no hoodlums,no gangs andno homelesspeople.Heck!

Andy did not even put any bullets in his gun and he was the sheriff.

That is how Riely chooses to describe the town where she grew up.

Mayberry is not unlike the small town where Riely came from. She came from the safehavenof Minonk, Ill., which was made up of a well-off populationof about 1,800. Growing upinahappyfamily, with twobrothers and one sister, she never experienced the plight of the homeless or other disadvantagedpeople, yet she came to Philadelphiaand made them her business.

Riely did not start off with the homeless. The first time she really encounteredthem was in her college years at Villanova University. She said her involvementwiththe homeless did not happen suddenlyor with a certain incident.

She gradually came to her own realization that everyone should get involvedand do somethingfor his or her own growth while helping other people.

She recalls one of her early activities in helping the homeless when she lived in Chicago. She worked in a pizza place that made excellent pizza.

Occasionally,some of the homeless would go to the fire escape, and she and the other employees would give them pizza for free. Once they were caught in the act by the boss who tried to get them to swear never to do it again.

None of them would swear because they knew that as soon as the boss was not looking, they would be giving to the homeless once again.

The boss fired her along with a few other employees.

Was it worth losingher job?

"Yeah,I batedthejob and I did

therightthing,"Rielysaid,witha

feeling of enthusiasm about helping the less fortunate.

Now, Riely has a job that deals with helping the less fortunate,from the homeless to children with absent parents. She coordinates the different programs of community service at Cabrini. She dreamed of having this kind of job one day, though she never imagined obtaining it. There was a time when Riely said she thoughtgraduatingfromcollegewith a degree in liberal arts, would make the world your oyster.

"When I graduated, I realized it wasn't quite that way, but never the less, I found some oysters and found some real nice pearls, Cabrini being one of my pearls," Riely said.

Riely is completely happy about the work she does at Cabrini, especially her work with the Paul Fly School.

"My standard line about this job is it fell out of heaven and landed in my lap. I love what I do, particularly with the Paul Fly School," she said.

While describing her life, two students come over to the office in order to speak with Riely about their community service. She continues to talk, not even losingeye contactor smiling to assure them she will be with them in a moment.

She refusesto letdown theperson that already occupies her time, not far from what she expects from the children's tutors at the Paul Fly School.

Riely has a special place in her heart for the children at the Paul Fly School. When theyare disappointed, she shares that disappointment.

When they are happy, she is happy for them.

She speaks of them with great care and feeling. In fact, this is one of the few things she gets upset over.

It bothers her when the children at Paul Fly School are disappointedif a tutor does not show up.

"I feel bad for the kids," Riely said, "because they can't afford a lot more disappointmentsin theirlives."

Though Riely deals with the disadvantagedjust about everyday,she does not have all the answers. She mentioned one time on the carewalk in Philadelphiawhere she stoppedto speak to a homeless man sitting on the ground.

He said something that made her have to stop, pause and reflect. ''He said to me, 'I only have six more feet to go' meaning this guy's goal was to die," Riely said "What do you say?"

With a job like Riely's that calls for continuous community service, she never really develops the feeling of doing enough for people. She does, however,see the positivethings in their lives that many others fail to

see.

She said she tries not to think aboutthenegativebecausethereis a lot of bappin~ in the lives of the

Riely said she see beautiful children who have hope because they have tutors. I see people in the streets that have overcome great odds and have great personalities and a sense of humor.

Though Riely is happy about being at Cabrini, her life does not stop here. She also has weekends, where she finds joy in spending time with her friends from

Villanova and her boyfriend.

At the age of 30, Riely has hopes for the future, such as a family and marriage. She also has other hopes.

He said it has been a problem ever since, especially when he plays tennis. He used to practice with his twodaughterswhen they were youngbut he could not play competitively. Competition,according to Jordan, would have been too strenuous.

"The funny thing is," Jordan said, "about four or five years ago, something happened in my back and I stopped having all those back spasms."

As a result, Jordan has been able to play very competitively for the past five years.

In 1993, he competed in all four national championships in his age division."I did thatjust to be able to say I did it, I guess," Jordan said, laughing.

He now gives lessons. He said he has taught a fair number of kids.

"Almost all of them tell me that they want to become great tennis players," Jordan said. ''Practically none of them will put in any significanteffort to do that."

Much of his book deals with determinationand goals. To be great, a person must be hungry, Jordan explained. He said there must be a burning desire to be recognized. His daughters had that.

While tutoring is an important function in the Rooyman Center, not all students know what is available to them.

"Only two of 21 first-year students, who are on academic probation, came for tutoring last semester," Janet Shoemaker, tutorial coordinator, said. "This is a service that all of the students are entitled to.

Anyone can just drop in. The hours are posted all over the campus."

Adults come in to be tutored," Shoemaker said. "Some of them come in on their lunch break. The adults know what to do to be successful."

There is a lot_that goes into tutoring.

"Tutors will do preparation in advance," Shoemaker said. "The tutors ask each other for help. The tutors enjoy each other's company. They definitely like to be busy. There are four rooms with tutoring, and more are needed."

There are rewards for being a tutor.

"Tutors love to see the successes," Shoemaker said. "They see they were able to help the student."

"Helping people does make you feel good. I wantto help students get what they expect. Tutoring is fun because you get to interact with students," first-year student Phil Matteo said. "I tutored a girl who was going to drop a course, and after I helped her, she stayed with it and received a B. It is not real hard work. Tutoring reinforces your own skills."

"Tutoring helps all the students," firstyear student Marie Koski said. "It is a sense of accomplishment to know you are helping people. You feel good about yourself after a student understands something.

You also get to meet a lot of people. I tutor Spanish, math and writing. Most people come in for math."

To show the dedication to the people she is tutoring, Koski would only do an interview after she checked to see if, any

students needed her help.

Matteo said he feels it is important to have a responsibility of being a tutor.

"Being a teacher or a tutor is more than knowing the information," Matteo said.

"You need to know how to relate to the students and to get your point across. I think it is easier to talk with the students, because we are on the same wavelength."

Just because you are a tutor does not mean you are gifted at everything, Matteo said. "Even though I am a science major, I am getting help in physics."

The students who benefit from the tutoring said they are very appreciative. "The tutors are great," junior Brant Sheldon said. "They are very patient. They will never give up helping you, no matter how much you do or don't know."

"They reinforce what we learn in class," Sheldon said. "Outside of tutoring, they will go out of their way to spend more time with you."

Sophomore Julie Wolen had only words of praise for her accounting tutor, sophomore Marie Barrett.

"She really works well with us," Walen said.

Along with Shoemaker in the Rooyman Cent_eris Dr. Arthur Young.

Young is the director of academic programs in the center, and he oversees tutoring.

Barbara Rubin, assistant director of COPE, is involved in general studies, tutors writing and helps with study skills.

Like Young, she is an Act 101 counselor.

Shoemaker said she feels the tutors are good back up for the teachers.

"I am a math teacher and it helps me because I know I have a backup," Shoemaker said.

Shoemaker said she still is looking · for tutors. "Many of the stud_ents tutor for work grant, but some also volunteer," Shoemaker said.

Tutoring is available five days a week.

Ql)iving On Wednesday, Feb. 22, Greg Louganis, 1984 and 1988 Olympic gold medalist, announced he has AIDS. The 35-year-old diver publicly acknowledged his homosexuality for the first time at last year's Gay Games.

At the 1988 Summer Olympics, Louganis had already been diagnosed with the HIV virus, the virus that causes AIDS. He was greatly concerned for the other divers when he hit his head on the board and shed blood into the pool.

Since then, his infection has developed into AIDS. In an interview with Barbara Walters, he told her, "I do have AIDS." Louganis has been undergoing extensive treatment since the discovery of his condition. He now joins other professional athletes, including Magic Johnson, who left the Los Angeles Lakers in 1991 after announcing he was HIV-positive, and tennis player Arthur Ashe, who lost his battle with AIDS in 1993.

Louganis has written a book called "Breaking the Surface," where he talks about his career ·and his sexuality.

Men's Basketball

OBoxing American boxer Gerald McClellan suffered a vicious blow to the head during a fight in London on Saturday, Feb. 25.

In the 10th round, super middleweight champion Nigel Benn was defending his title against McClellan. After a strong right, McClellan was on the floor.

McClellan spent the night undergoing extensive surgery to remove a blood clot on the right side of his brain. He is now on a lifesupport system and doctors said he has a good chance at surviving.

England is outraged with the incident and many are beginning to renew calls for the sport to be banned there.

Good job, Tony I. Tonight, the Cabrini College Cavaliers host the York College Spartans in a first round NCAA Tournament game, which means that progress has been made.

Last year at this time, the Cavaliers were supposed to host a game in the first rou~d against Susquehanna University.

However, the game had to be played at Eastern because the gym in Sacred Heart Hall was four feet short of NCAA regulation. This took away the Cavaliers home court advantage. In addition, the game happened to take place during spring break, when a majority of Cabrini fans were in sunny Florida.

The Cavaliers lost in the first round.

This year, things are different. The Men's Basketball gym is long enough. Class is in session. The 'home court advantage is there, as it should be. Most of the Thurs. 3/2 NCAA TOURN. H 7:30 p.m. players have last year's experience.

They love to pound the ball inside.

If Tom Newnam, Greg Grant and Eric Tidwell do their job in the paint, and the shooters hit their shots, unlike last year, the Cavs should walk away victorious.
