Rape is a felony. Only one in 10 women report rape and out of Uiose numbers,only one out of 100 will be prosecuted. Accordingto Koestner,rapeisnota women thing. Rape is a crime of control,not of sex.

There are many men out there who would never even consider harming a woman or a child. But there are those who would, and do. All people deserve to be respected.

Going down to West Virginia during Spring Break has been a tradition at Cabrini for many years. Recently, Appalachia has become more popular. Students learn something from this unique experience. "It is so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget what life is really about," Susan Hunter, a junior, said. "The people we met at Hinton made me realize that all the little things in life that I get stressed about don't really mean anything. The sense of hope, determination and love was what I mostly got out of Appalachia." "I feel thatI have madetieswith some ofthemosthonestandgivingpeopleon earth.It was a greatexperience,"JenniferPaliaro,a junior,said."I gotto see a side of Cabrinipeople, and myself, thatoftengetshiddenby everydaylife. This trip is one of the finest things Cabrini has to offer. People often 'commend'usforspendingspringbreak pleasureto bepartof sucha wonderful communityin Union for a week. We take back morethanwe couldever put in." "It made me step out of my comfortable 'Cabrini' life Jnd see how the other· side lives," Anne Waldspurger, a junior, said. "I felt good to know that I could make a difference. We, Cabrini as a group, brought a sense of life with us to the whole community of Hinton. Appalachia really put my life into perspective and see how lucky I am."
To the editor: Last week, I was asked to sign _a petition. to .soli-ci+-Cengress to continue funding for PBS. Then, I was asked to send letters to my Congressional representatives to stop the recision bill that could reduce student aid funding. Isn't there a "Republican Club" on campus that supported Rick Santorum, Jon Fox and their ilk? Wouldn't candidates like Harris W o.fford ,<1;11dMargolies-., .Mezvihsky h~ve been .a better choice to. support- continued funding for PBS and student aid? It sounds to me like a "Democrat Club" is needed. Sincerely, Michael (Rudy) Pizzuto Physical Plant
"Thirty-one Cabrini students shared housing with 13 str<1Dgers,men and women who had previously been homeless or were experiencing substance abuse withdrawal," Jeaneen Riely ,.coordinatorof community service, said. "Our students were great for these 13 and the 13 were great for our students. Our students learned a beautiful lesson about life Beware of the homeless man sitting on the street. He may just tum out to be your best friend."

After about a half hour, the trunk finally came out of the ground. Suddenly, there was a moment of silence and then we all clapped, hooted and hollered for each other. We had all worked together and achieved our goal. I felt so good inside. Not only were we helping prepare the Raptor Center, but we helped each other in the process. I felt a special closeness to everyone that day. This was the kind of feeling I got from just one day. After a week, I realized I made the right decision for spring break. I made friends who will be in my_ heart forever. I would encourage everyone to venture to West Virginia and give it a chance. It is an experience that will last a lifetime.

Katina Corrao, junior Sear~hing for the ideal spring break destination is sometimes hard. You could either go somewhere and get a tan, get caught up on extra school work or go somewhere that will change your life. I had my life changed. For spring break this year, I was lucky enough to have the chance to go to Appalachia. I was a little nervous at first. I grabbed some old jeans and shirts out of my closet, my dad brought me a hefty set of work gloves; I bought a pair of work boots. Not really knowing what to expect, I continuously watched reruns of "This Old House" to become familiar with various tools and such. I was set and ready only -to find that all this was not what mattered in the long run. Letter Appalachia is not about who can hammer the fastest. It isn't even about who has the strongest boots. You do not even have to know how to drive the van. If you have a heart, Appalachia is for you. When you go, something happens to you. You start to feel so good about yourself. You give your time to people. You may be digging ditches, painting walls or playing checkers· with the elderly. It is about togetherness and teamwork. I worked with students from Marquette University on a project digging some ditches in a place called Three Rivers Raptor Center. This was the· turning point of my trip. About 13 Cabrini students, and four Marquette students spent the whol~ day together. Not knowing them before, we were all on a mission to get along and get the job done. At one point, there was a tree trunk that had to be dug up from the ground. Anne Waldspurger and Jil Appleby from Cabrini, Paul from Marquette and Dan, Employee inquii.a:e about PBS petition
While some sunned themselves in Cancun, others volunteered for cause by Shella Brady features editor On the third floor of the Appalachia Regional Health Care Hospital sits a man with no legs called Harry Lively, 90. He is singing a song that has no words. "He doodles all the time," the nurse said as she walks by. She walks by Gladys Bine, a feisty 95 year-old woman, who speaks of the days When she and her boyfriend used to "rumble" in the back seat of a car. First year student, Pattie Hillis, one of the 46 student volunteers from Cabrini, sits listening to her entertaining story. "If you all weren't here, she'd be moaning and groaning," Marilyn Cooper, activities director of the hospital, said. The hospital is nestled on a hill outside the town of Hinton, W.Va. It is one of several sites in the Appalachia region visited by the students of Project Appalachia. The people of Appalachia are poor in the material context. However, the- Rev. Ambrose Cashman, campus chaplain, explained at a Project Appalachia preparation meeting that they have riches of their own in their way of life. A Catholic Services employee, Michael Vincent, presented a slide show to both the Hinton group, which included Scott Dorsey, coordinator of multicultural programs, and Jeaneen Riely, coordinator of community services, and the Union group, which included Cashman.

Vincent expressed the importance- of listening to what the people of the region have to say. "The poor of the mountains have been wounded," Vincent said. "But they have not been crushed." Vincent was quick to praise the group's initiative. He said some Cabrini graduates have even returned to Appalachia to nurse or teach as a result of their involvement with Project Appalachia. The Hinton group dormed at a Catholic Worker Farm set on top of a mountain. Besides three dogs and 13 cats, the group shared living quarters with recovering alcoholics and substance abusers.
Vincent talked about the povertystricken population of Appalachia. He said the people are not poor because they want to be poor. He declared the need for Catholic church action.
Senior Ray Ewing, and sophomores Melissa Hunsberger and Dan Lorenz hold a ladder steady for junior Joe Koro/y, as he paints a wall, at a Union site. "We couldn't have done it without them," Sabatini said. According to volunteers the student leaders were fair and well organized.

The men and women at the shelter were very insightful, according to senior Michelle Taddeo. She said they were willing to talk llbout their lives and their viewpoints.
"Billy explained that yesterday and tomorrow belong to God," Taddeo said, "but today is yours." Another man at the farm was Sylvester "Sly" McCoy. Sly shared his story with many members of the Hinton group. He once lived a life of hustling drugs, dodging bullets and incarceration. He is now at the farm as the result of the grace of God, he said. Sly said he wants to turn his life around and counsel young men who are now held by the dan·gerous grips of street life. "As long as I walk on this earth," junior Anne Waldspurger said, "I will remember his story." The men on the farm want to be there. The come when they want and they are free to leave when they wish, according to McCoy. ,Every day, 10 of the Hinton group stayed at the farm and helped with outside work, as well as cooking and baking. The remaining Hi!}tOnvolunteers went to places such as the hospital, library and photo by Sheila Brady Students take a break from hard work to sled down a mountain in plastic trash bags during a snow storm on Wednesday, March 8. a bird sanctuary called the Raptor Center. Ron and Wendy Raptor live on the top of a mountain. Sophomore Stephanie "Sis" Slater, a student leader, successfully attempted to drive the van up the narrow, muddy, crooked road to the house. "I really found out who my friends were when the van got stuck and everyone got out," Slater said, laughing. "She kept us all alive," Taddeo said. Once up the hill, the physical labor began. The week's agenda was to dig a ditch to build a test-flying house for the recovering birds of prey. The Raptors have devoted their days to nursing these birds back to good health. "It was really all physical work," Taddeo said. "I was so proud of myself." Meanwhile at Union, 30 miles across the mountains, student leader Lindo Sabatini, a senior, works on resident Annie Waddy's ceiling. Sabatini said the ceiling of Waddy's home ~as drooping over a foot lower than Scaramuzza said they made sure everybody got to do different jobs on different days. McAleer said he was a little worried that groups of friends would not split up and get to know other members of the group. However, his fears were not confirmed. No one stayed in their cliques, according to McAleer. "I got to know everyone who went with me in a different way," junior Joe Koroly said. "A better way." Koroly said he learned what people can do when they all come together. Appleby said she hopes the success of the trip will encourage more students to take part in Campus Ministry activities. McAleer said he went down with high expectations, and things turned out even better. "Appalachia is an experience," Piekutowski said. "You just have to meet and experience everybody and everything.

Members of the group met people of the Union community like Gaye Williams. She did not leave her house much on account of her dependent and ill sister, according to Monica Scaramuzza, a junior. "She had tears in her eyes and said, 'The Cabrini students introduced me to Union,"' Scaramuzza said. This year, Williams is much more involved with the community. The community of the town includes three couples, the Melchiors, the Crones and .the Rictors, who took the students under their wings. "It was like having three sets of grandparents with you for the week," Scaramuzza said. The students in both Union and Hinton met people in the communities who were there to guide them. However, the guidance began weeks before the vans ever left Cabrini's parking lot on the wet morning of Match 4. Student leaders Slater and Sabatini, juniors Ji!

by Dll!ne Wrobleski staff writer People read their horoscopes hoping to gain some sort of insight on their future, or to simply entertain themselves as to what the future has in store for them. They are overcome for a brief moment as they feed their curiosity, and try to make a connection between a group of words and their actions, and how this will effect their behavior. It is funny how the focus is always on the future and not on how or what our past experiences were and how they mold each individuals' personality, actions and behavior. One Cabrini senior, Melissa Tobias, a psychology major, took the initiative to conduct research on a topic that deals with why people act and behave the way they do in relationships, as a result of their past experiences in childhood with their parents. Tobias conducted her research, which replicated previous findings on childhood attachment and its influences on adult romantic relationships, based on a four-page questionnaire of 53 Cabrini undergraduates ore-very major. The subjects lived together in a female resident hall on campus. They ranged in age from 18-20 years old. "The research became limited to females only because of th~ three-to-one ratio offemales to males on campus," Tobias said. "This gender difference would not allow the survey to be random if both sexes were involved." The subjects completed four scales of study that measured their attachment types. These dealt with romance, passion, intimacy and commitment. The results proved that there are significant correlations between chilcijlood attachment and adult romantic relationships based on their attachment behaviors of security, avoidance and anxiousness, cir ambivalence. Tobias began her research during the first semester of her second year, and conducted the survey part of the analysis last fall. The idea stemmed from a Research Methods class that required the students to choose a topic, conduct a study and write a paper about the process and results. "The idea came from a smaller paper that was completed in the fall of' 93," Tobias said. further with her research and became recogni,zed by the Eastern Psychological Association.

Does love life depend on mom, dad?
The conference with other recognized East Coast college students will be held March 31, in Boston. Within the realms of secure, avoidant and a-nxious relationship trends; the results found on campus were that 41 percent of those surveyed were most likely to have or tend to be involved in stable relationships. Thirty-four percent were of the avoidant category, and 25 percent were of the anxious/ ambivalent category. This means that the subjects with secure attachment report being involved in more intimate relationships than anxious/ambivalent or avoidant subjects. "This may be due to the fact that secure subjects came from stable, loving families where they were able to trust others," Tobias said. Avoidant subjects reported being afraid of getting too close to others. In her research, Tobias said she found this to be logical since avoidant subjects would most likely grow up in an environment where trust was lacking, making_ it difficult to get close to others. The anxious/ambivalent subjects reported being more passionate than the other two categories, but, according to Tobias, this difference did not reach statistical significance. This was because some of the weaknesses and limitations included sample generalization ability, which could P?Ssibly be related to gender bias. Some of the other possible biases that were found were associated with ethnic background and socioeconomic status. Still, this study proved that childhood attachment carries over to influence adult romantic relationships. This study is ·only one of the many activities that Tobias is currently involved with, both on and off campus. Her involvement includes many community service activities, such as tutoring prisoners at Graterford prison, helping the homeless and counseling rape victims at Women Against Rape. She also recently returned from a week in Hinton, W.Va., where she served as a volunteer for Project Appalachia. These are among many of the activities that have allowed her to be recognized for the "Who's Who" national award among colleges and universities.
Every year the Student Government Association sponsors the Superthon, a charity fundraising weekend. This year the proceeds will go to the Multiple Sclerosis Society as well as Maryann Holden, aunt of junior Kim Forde, who has multiple sclerosis. This year SGA hopes to raise $750. The 12th annual Superthon started out with a bang on Tuesday, March 14 and Thursday, March 16 with Barney Bashing in the cafeteria. The "bashing" turned to hugging however, when no students seemed to want to take a swing at the big purple dinosaur. Students paid 50 cents to take a swing at Barney, or in most cases, give him a big squeeze. They then received puzzle pieces to complete a sign that was hanging in the cafeteria. The completed sign read "Help Cabrini Fight M.S." On Friday, March 17, a social hour, with food and beverages, is scheduled to take place from 3 to 6 p.m. for students 21 and older, faculty and staff. Admission for students will be $2 and faculty and staff will be admitted free of charge. There will also be a fishbowl where donations for the Multiple Sclerosis Society can be placed.

killer who terrorized New York. She has even helped to prevent an assassination attempt on the life of former President Gerald Ford, while he was visiting the Oxford Valley Mall, in Langhorne, Pa. •A few years back, Morrison was the resident psychic appearing with Sid Marks on his WWDB-FM talkradio show. When the late Frank Rizzo, f9rmer mayor of Philadelphia, was a guest, Morrison called in and warned him that he would be injured while going away from a blast. A week later, Rizzo was injured in a refinery blast. "Not while going to the blast (at the refinery), but while he was leaving," Marks, the show's host, said. Known on the college lecture circuit, Morrison has appeared at Rosemont College, Pierce Junior College, Northwest Center, a division of the Northwestern Institute of Psychiatry, St. Joseph's Univer~ sity and at Cabrini College where she has taught a course along with Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, and Dr. Anthony Tomasco, professorof psychology. One of her daughters is a Cabrini graduate. "I loved teaching at Cabrini," Morrison said. "It was great." Morrison has been married to her husband, Charles, for 28 years. They have four children. Yet one of her most important .vis·o h rasoe iRlc"ttion by the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee. She had been asked to predict the weather forecast for the 1985 Inaugural Day festivities for former President Ronald Reagan. "I told th~m that the weather would be too cold to have the activities outside," Morrison said. And she was right. When asked if psychic phone lines have tainted the whole industry, Morrison was matter-of-fact. "There are good ones out there but the underground ones are so shady," Morrison said. "They are the ones that have charged customers of mine $2,000 to $3,000 to have a 'curse' taken off of them." She went on to say that those who believe they have a curse on them are using the power of negative belief. "If you believe that you have been cursed or are under a spell, then your luck will seem to have taken a tum for the worse," Morrison said. "No one can take the spell from you," she said. "Only God can take it from you." A very religious person, Morrison describes her persona as "mere1y an instrument of God's power to write straight with crooked and imperfect Jines,and an example of His choice of the weak things of this world so that no creature might glory in His sight." Morrison has even gone on to A.SOP.n "tim. tpfi. ture. West coast floods will give way to summer fires and droughts. Because of Whitewater convictions, Newt Gingrich may run for president next year. O.J. Simpson will be convicted for the murder of his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman, but will receive a shorter sentence as a last minute surprise comes in. Although Morrison only clajms "about 85 percent" accuracy on her predictions, she takes her life and her profession all in stride. "I believe that we all create our own destiny," she said. "I just give it a little bit of help."
The drama titled "Conversations with My Father," by Herb Gardner, brought images of Gerdner's past to the stage. The play portrayed a second generation Russian Jew attempting to find success in bar ownership. Eddie (Alan Feinstein) planned to bring his family uptown someday. He intends to make his family rich-American style. Ironically, Eddie. never became rich. At the play's end, Eddie's son, Charlie (Peter Vanwagner), became rich through book sales. Charlie, the narrator, became interactive with Eddie's character by the play's end. The character Charlie confronted his father in an abrasive ·manner, without ·conflict resolutions. The play spanned the life of Charlie from infancy to middleage. Tension grew with the death of Joey, the first born and Eddie's favorite. Eddie never recognized the richness of the family he possessed. The character began chipping away at his heritage, then he chopped off his roots at the base. This character wiped away his rich culture to start anew. Faith in the American system complicated the character Eddie's formula for success. In an interview with William Wolf at Playbill in 1992, Gardner said he did not produce this as an autobiographical play but insists the characters are composites. The struggle of the Goldstein family, quickly to become the Ross family after a name change, gave the audience glimpses of hypocrisy. In order to fit in, Gardner's character Eddie wiped the past from his existence at an attempt to be accepted. Along the way, his children became victims of his persistent actions to follow the plan-the plan to become accepted red-blooded Americans Humor lightened the play's length and serious theme and few cultural jokes became lost between Zaretsky (Jack Axelrod) and the audience. The rhythm persisted at a steady pace, with a continual flow of actors on stage. Young Charlie (Daniel Mufson) provided superb entertainment for the ·audience, giving an honest, delightful performance. Hannah Di Blindeh (Hazel Bowers) and Nick(Luke Sickle) entertained the audience with slapstick-type humor. Both characters were larger than life, drinking at the bar on a consistent basis. Gusta (Cheryl Giannini) gave a robust performance, yet she had limited time on stage.

IfDionne Warwickandher"psychic friends" have left a bad taste in your mouth where psychics are concerned, then hopefully all of that is about to change. Valerie Morrison, "The Psychic Lady," a psychic and parapsychologist from Philadelphia, was first exposed to the psychic world from her grandfather who raised her. "l like to think of being psychic as havinga little bit of magic," Morrison said. "The ability helps when you need it. It helped me through nursing school." • Morrison has predicted the earthquake in ~obe, Japan, and was a consultant to police departments searching for bodies and clues to baffling crimes. Although she is a trained nurse specializing in psychiatry, Morrison's specialty is helping others through her special gift. Morrison has helped the police find the true identity of David Berkowitz,the"SonofSam"serial

Her timing was impeccable, and· the aging of her character was believable. She used the entire stage, cooking meals in large vats and carrying them to her kitchen. Her character was described as "goofy" by her husband, yet her character displayed depth. She had the ability to walk on stage, and demand the audience's attention. The mob, played by Blue (Gary Tucker) and Jimmy Scalso (Daryll Heysham), kept the play·•s momentum flowing, and showed the strength and courage in Eddie's character. The scene depicts the mob designating themselves to be bigbrother to Eddie and his establishment. Eddie refused a watchdog organization to protect him. The character refused to be involved in illegal activity. The mob gre..y angry. The character Blue encouraged Jimmy to leave before someone got hurt. They leave Eddie's bar. The writer never mentioned them again. The stage became a bar. The setting never changed. The time did. The bar owner, Eddie, changed the setting once. The pink flamingo and tropical drinks he chose only added color to the patriotic American flags already there. Gardner, the direclor and the actors brought important historical and cultural attitudes to life. The play is at The Walnut • Street Theatre, 9th and Walnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. (215) 5743550.

Career services give stats on grad school by John Lindsay assistant arts & entertainmenteditor To attend graduate school or not to attend graduate school? This is a question on th.e minds of many college juniors and seniors at this time of year. Six percent of the Cabrini College class of 1994 is now attending graduate school full time. This number has increased from the number of students from previous years. According to Nancy Hutchinson, director of the office of cooperative education and career services, most students usually do not go to graduate school Iight after college, except maybe law school students or psychology majors. Senior Tricia Reilly, a psychology major, said, "The P.rocess to get into graduate school is a difficult one because there are so many programs, and a lot of times you have different people telling you different things. It seems like now, when you are applying for masters' programs, you should know exactly what you want to clo. But it is hard to put everything you want to do for the rest of your life into one neat little program." Students often wait until they are working for a company or organization that will pay their graduate education. Thirty-three percent of the 15,000 students in Villanova University's class of 1994 are now attending graduate school, according to Trish Burdo, a staff member of Villanova's office of career service. Villanova also-offers their own graduate schools. In their School of Arts there are 556 students enrolled. In the School of Sciences, there are 320 students. The Scho.ol of Commerce and Finance has 607 students. The School of Nursing has 141 students attending.
Is graduate school for everyone?
Sixteen percent of 126 students of Eastern College's class of 1994 attended graduate school, according to Tess Bradley, a staff member of Eastem's office of career services. For some students, after paying for four years-of college, the expenses for graduate school can be almost out of the question. That is why some students hope to find a company or organization that is willing to finance the student through graduate school. According to David Patterson, an employee of CIGNA Insurance Company, the company is willing to pay for employees to continue their education so that they would be a better asset to the company. Graduate school for education majors can be beneficial as far as job placement after graduation. Some colleges o'ffer education majors a bachelor and graduate degree in a five-year program. Rowan College, formerly Glasboro State, of New Jersey, offers this program.
• According to James Worthington, a sales representative for IBM, the company is always sending people back to school because the computer field is always changing. "There are always new systems being implemented, so our employees need to keep up on these advances," Worthington said. Psychology majors, according to the Senior Survey done by the Office of Career Services, usually always go right from college into a graduate program.

Library jumps on line by Paul Marturano staff writer The Holy Spirit Library is adding more on-line services and CD-RO Ms to its collection. The on-line services and CD-ROMs in the library were purchased from Silver Platter, a company that specializes in these services. According to Ann Schuelm, reference librarian, Holy Spirit is trying out a new company, the Ebsco Company, for on-line services and CD-ROMs. These include Academic Index, Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), PsycLIT and FirstSearch. If the library is able t9 get a package deal, Ebsco will not cost as much as Silver Platter, according to Schuelm. Academic Index is a CD-ROM that is similar to the "Readers' Guide to Periodicals." It is a two-disc set which covers The New York Times as well as 10 to 15 journals in each undergraduate study. The first disc covers from 1980 to 1990 and the second covers 1991 to the present. ERIC is a data base mainly for education majors. It contains material from the Resources in Education file and the Current Index to Journals in Education file. There are over 750 professional journals in education available through ERIC and materials from 1982 to the present. PsycLIT is the first CD-ROM database for psychology and psychiatry majors. There are two different sections that make up PsycLit: a database of journal articles and a database consisting of books on these subjects. Thirteen-hundred journals from 1974 to the present are covered in 27 different languages. • Books and chapters of books on the subjects are covered in English from 1986 to the present.

So far, the only major booking for he new building is the 1998 national figure-skating championships. The building is construc:ed so that the length of it is visible from Broad Street. Along Interstate 95, however, cars are going the actual speed limit in order to catch a glimpse. The planners are hoping to have the CoreStates Center open for business in August 1996. This new center is meant to be more fan-friendly, with more concessions and restrooms.

But it is enough so that a native of Philadelphia could se~ what the original dreamers dreamed. You can picture, where only gravel lies, that Eric Lindros will soon be streaming down the ice scoring a goal in the face of a dread-filled goalie. You can picture seven-foot-six inch Shawn Bradley, of the Sixers, reaching for an alleyoop and stuffing the ball through the basket. You can picture a crowd of 21,000 on their feet, cheering on their teams for a victory.

Members of the squad have met with John Dzik, director of athletics, and are working out their grievances. Dzik has gone so far as to send out questionnaires to other colleges in Division III to see what their policy is with regards to cheerleaders. "I am trying to get a feel for what other members of PAC provided for their cheerleaders," Dzik said. "I have received most of the feedback already and I am reporting to Bob Bonfiglio to see ifwe can incorporate it."
• Although Dzik's responses seemed hopeful, some cheerleaders are not so optimistic. "He has said the same thing before and has never followed up on it," said senior and co-captain Colleen Gray. "The money was in the budget this year for a coach." Gray went on to say that it was bard for she and Beth Pierce, a senior and cocaptain of the squad, to act as coaches. "Being co-captain and coach was way too much for us to handle," Gray said. "It was way too hard to run to Dzik •every time we had problems because of our different schedules," Pierce said. "It was also hard to act as a coach because we had to criticize our peers. But it is now out of our hands and it is over with."

Stephanie Bieg, a junior, is one student who said she would be interested in seeing a karate class or club take form at Cabrini. Bieg said she took shotokan, a form of karate, for four years while she was in • middle school. After her karate school shut down, she said she was unable to find another school offering shotokan. Bieg said she has always wanted to continue taking classes. "It's a great idea to offer karate classes because not only would it be an excellent form of"physical fitness," Bieg said, "but it would also teach self-defense which is important on college campuses.:' There are several students like Bieg who take or have taken karate classes at one time and would be interested in joining a karate club if Cabrini had one. "I would take the class just for fun," Bieg said. There are currently no karate classes or clubs offered, but that might change soon, according to first-year student Mirella Addesi. She said she is pursuing the possibility of starting a karate club which would begin in the fall. Addesi said she currently takes kenpo, a form of Chinese karate that focuses on hand movements and self-defense, at the Montgomery County Marshal Arts Center in Ambler, Pa. When .she first began taking classes a year-and-a-half ago, Addesi said she was a white belt. Since then, she said she has advanced six belts and is .working on advancing again. According to Addesi, she is now an advanced purple belt and she is working toward her blue belt. Addesi still needs to advance seven more belts before she receives her black belt, she said. "It is a great way to keep in shape and relieve stress all at the same time," Addesi said. "It also gives me a lot of selfconfidence."
Addesi said she placed first in kata, which is different karate techniques, blocks and patterns put into a form. She also placed third in sparring. "After each karate class, we have to say a pledge stating that we will only use our karate skills in self-defense," Addesi said. Addesi said she would like to carry this pledge over to the club so people realize that karate is meant for self-defense and not fighting. Addesi said the karate club would be an open club and anyone would be welcome to join. This includes people who have never taken karate before and those who have years of experienc~, she said. Addesi said she just wants those who are interested in joining to know that karate is not violent. It is self-defense techniques. The club would not focus on only one type of karate, she said, but rather would give a taste of all different forms of karate. "Each week we would feature a different type of karate," Addesi said. "Any member who knows the chosen form of karate would teach it to the rest of the club." Addesi said there is also the possibility of having guest instructors come in and teach a class to the club members. All of this would happen pending approval from the appropriate sources and enough student interest, she said. Addesi said if the club does get approval and a good amount of interest from the student body, it could be a really great opportunity for everyone to learn selfdefense, which is important. Anyone who would be interested in joining or helping to organize the karate club can call Mirella Addesi at 902-8686.
The cheerleaders have met up with a lack of support not only from the administration but from the student body as well. The cheer leading team was written off by fans and therefore, the cheerleaders were not really enthusiastic about their performance. "I think that the general consensus of the squacl was th'at if there was no coac~, there is no squad," said first-year student and squad member Will Saccomanno. "We could have been something really big but we need support or the whole thing will flop." But some cheerleaders felt that the season should have not been called off. "Now that we are doing so well, I feel that we should be cheering for the team," said first-year student and squad member Kim Penske. "We need. to support our team, especially since they are·doing so well in the PAC," Penske said. Some cheerleaders chose to dress in the team colors and act as a pep squad at the remaining tournament games. "We see them (the cheerleaders) as a part of our success and I hope for some progress to be made," Dzik said. Although she agrees with the reasoning behind calling the season off so early, Penske is optimistic about next year. "We are going to make a good comeback and be awesome next year," Penske said. "We have a lot of great ideas."
Addesi said she has competed in two kenpo tournaments. Although sire did not place in the first tournament, she said she did place in the second tournament.

But enough on to the tourney. It is rather obvious that there is no clear cut favorite entering this , season's tournament. There are at least seven teams with a solid chance of winning six games in a row and walking away with the national championship. We might as well start in the East, where Villanova is trying to regain the magic that they captured 10 years ago, when they shocked the world, and won their only national championship. The problem is, this time it won't be a shocker if the 'Cats walk away with the title. They have a superstar in Kerry Kittles, a solid big man in Jason Lawson, and a threepoint specialist in Eric Eberz. If 'Nova can hit on all cylinders, Villanova ·should cruise to a Sweet Sixteen matchup with Massachusetts. Since Wake Forest is the weakest one seed in recent history, the Wildcats should advance to the Final Four with a wm over UMass. Which would put them in an April Fool's Day matchup with -;.JCLA. I do not believe that I just picked UCLA to advance to the Final Four. The Bruins are the biggest chokers this side of Dan Jansen. But, hey, Dan won his gold, and well, the game is on April Fool's Day, so the Bruins might as well get there. In fact, they will beat Villanova in the first National Semifinal. putting them in the championship game. In the other half of the brackets, everybody seems to be picking Arkansas. But it's hard to repeat as champs in the NCAA, and ~he Razorbacks have to go through Kansas. We all know that teams with solid guard play seem to succeed in the tourney, and Kansas has Jacque Vaughn and Jarod Haase, one of the best combos in the nation. With the inside help of Greg Ostertag and Raef LaFrentz, the Jay hawks should make it to Seattle. In Seattle, they will run into Rick P.i.tino's Kentucky Wildcats. It's about time that Pitino, the best coach in the country, wins himself his first national championship, and these Wildcats should give it to him. If they can just get solid point-guard play, there should be no stopping the Wildcats. Tony Delk is the best pure shooter in the country, and the depth that Kentucky throws at you is almost as relentless as their pressure. Call it Kentucky 88, UCLA 83.

Four Philadelphia area teams were seeded in the tournament, including Villanova at the number three seed in the East. This win meant the first time that the Cats won the Big East Tournament. The Wildcats achieved this by beating UConn in the Big East Conference Tournament Championship series at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, March 12. The Cats won with an impressive score of 94- 78.

His teammate, Jason Lawson, scored that same amount of points, playing the best game in his career. Penn, Drexel and Temple also have hopes for a successful run at the title.

One step at a time. That seems to be the mantra for Coach Dzik's Cavaliers. Two years ago, Dzik brought in one of his best recruiting classes ever. They swept through the Pennsylvania Athletic Championship, winning its inaugural title. However, the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III selection committee overlooked the Cavaliers, and they were forced to wait a year to advance. Last year, the Cavs swept through the PAC once again, and this time the selection committee recognized their achievement, awarding them with a first round game against Susquehanna University. However, the Cavs were trounced in that game, and were forced to wait a year to advance. This year, Cabrini started the season slowly, splitting their first twelve games obtaining a record of 6-6. However, the team came together midway through the schedule, reeling off fourteen consecutive victories, winning the PAC for the third year in a row. Once again, the Cavs received a bid to the tournament. This time, the opponent was York College. York came into the match-up, held at Cabrini, having attempted less than 100 three-pointers on the season, a rarity in the world of college basketball. Cabrini never trailed by a significant margin in the first half, but

Cabrini trailed by 10 with two minutes to go, but cut the lead to two with 30 seconds remaining. However, F&M grabbed an important offensive rebound with time ticking away, and sank four foul shots to cap the 87-83 win. According to Dzik, the Cavaliers played their hearts out, losing a tough game that they were capable of winning. A total of 54 personal fouls were called in the game, and practically every player in the game committed at least three personal fouls. Senior Nate Bowles led the Cavs in scoring with 28 points and Carr chipped in 22. Tidwell led the team with 12 rebounds.
