GOP cuts: Iadarolafightsfor studentaid

by Lisa Hines staff writer

Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, college president, attended a presentation given by Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich at the annual National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in Washington, D.C. Every year, about 1,600 presidents of independent colleges and universities are invited to this meeting to update themselves with legislation that may be helpful or harmful for higher education.

The presidents were concerned about the impact of financial aid on stude~ts and with the consideration from Congress on the cutback of funds.

For example.many students can not go to college without the aid from a PELL grant, which is now in danger with the new Republican Congress.

One of the issues Iadarola raised concerns the lack of voter registration.

"Many students today don't register to vote," ladarolasaid. "That makes t::ongress think, 'These people don't even vote, we're not going to lose them. They're not going to come after us, so let's go and wipe out that amount of money.'"

She said she feels it will be serious in terms of Cabrini's investment of the college's future and students.

Another possibility they discussed was charging students' interest for the Stafford loans.

Congress is proposing that students would pay interest from the time they start receiving the loan.

"I feel that would hit students very hard," Iadarola said.

Those were the two major issues covered at the meeting.

About two weeks after that, Iadarola and eight other presidents from private sectors in Pennsy lvania met with Gov. Tom Ridge.

This gave them the opportunity to talk and raise questions about their concerns for the colleges in Pennsylvania. These presidents told Ridge they want their students to have a greater chnace in recieving financial aid.

"We need to form policies so both private and public sectors are treated equally," Iadarola said.

"Obviously there are a lot of concerns in private sectors that we are not treated equally."

Iadarola regularly meets with Deleware County Congressman Curt Weldon to discuss some initiatives that Cabrini is engaged in, tenns of assessing more funds for the college.

"It's important that I talkto new people in Congress about Cabrini College," Iadarola said.

She said it is important to get the message out.

"In the past, presidents in the private sectors weren't called upon.

Now they are asked to in this lobbying role, and it's important that they do it. We can't have those cutbacks," Iadarola said. lad~rola said she is also concerned with the "faculty bashing" _oftoday. She said there is a Jot of bashing on the Hill, in Washington, D.C. and in lobbying groups.

"They don't understand the work-load of a faculty member today," Iadarola said. "It is difficult, much more difficult than it was before."

Iadarola said it is good that she gets a chance to talk with those who bash and inform them that the criticisms made against faculty is not true about our faculty and campus.

"Our faculty are here all the time. Tuey care about the students in the classroom and outside as well," Iadarola said.

When I°adarola was a college student, she had the opportunity to meet the late President John F. Kennedy when she was involved in The White House Fellow Program.

She said that Kennedy's famous plea, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you.can do for your country" made students her age think "How can I use my college talents to go out and make this a better place?"

"I commend faculty for requiring community service for graduating students," Iadarola said. She said she thinks this is something - that is important not only for the community, but the students as well.

She also added that Cabrini students are special. She said she wants them to have an urge to go out and give back to others what they were given at Cabrini.

"I'm honored and privileged to be at this institution at this moment in history. I think Cabrini College is poised for another period of dramatic growth in all kinds of ways."

Dr. Antoinette Iadarola meets with Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge at a private conference concerning financial aid cuts for private colleges. This conference, which was by invitation only, was a forum for Iadarola and other college representatives to speak out against the proposed college aid cuts. Iadarola said she felt this was their chance to lobby against this proposal.

The McGrory School of Irish Dance visited Cabrini on St. Patrick's Day in the Widener Center Gathering Area. Their teachers are Sheila McGrory, a junior at Cabrini, and Bridget O'Connell.

McGrory has been teaching since she was 17. They are seen above doing a traditional hornpipe in shoes constructed of fiberglass tips and heels, so the beats of their shuffles are heard. Their dresses, which were made in Ireland, are of authentic Celtic design.

these people continues.

Many people are convinced that the homeless are lazy, and are all alcoholics or mentally ill. There are people on the other extreme who pity them and say such things as, ''Oh, look at those poor people. We have to help them." Both types of people make me extremely sick to my stomach.

Imagine, if you will, collapsing on your bed after a long day at school, work or even a long night of partying. You are almost asleep when the earth starts to shake, water crashes through your home or flames start to lick away at your feet. You leap out of your bed and whisk yourself and your loved ones out of the house. Everyone is safe, but right before your eyes your home is destroyed.

All the memories, either good or bad, that occupied that house are also destroyed. If you are lucky, you go to a family member or friend until you can get back on your feet.

But many people lose their homes for one reason or another and have no one else but themselves.

These kind of stories flood our 11 p.m. news constantly. I suppose it should come as no surprise to me that many people pity the homeless. Some would argue I am being too hard on them. At least they care which is more than one can say for those who simply jeer and say they should get a job.

Many people equate being economically poor with being spiritually poor. Through numerous experiences I know this to be untrue. Do not ask me to ex_plainit, because I do not know how it is possible. I just know it is, and who am I to argue?

Last summer, I volunteered at an organization in Washington, D.C. called S.O.M.E., which is an acronym for So Others Might Eat. You might remember seeing photos of Bill and Hillary Clinton with green aprons working in a soup kitchen last Thanksgiving. Well, I wore those very same aprons!

Only hours after I got off the-plane my first day there, I was working in the soup kitchen serving lunch. It was a typical sticky and humid. day in our nation's capital, and the people kept trickling in one by one. All of them accepted the meal graciously, some of them stopping to smile and say, "God bless you."

All of the homeless and poor people I met while I was in Washington had dignity and

style. I- will never forget a group of deaf people I met at a senior camp run byS.O.M.E. Although I am hearing impaired myself, they have been through so much more than I ever will have to deal with. Many of the people I met had a simple spirituality that, quite frankly, baffled me. They were hard pressed for money, but no one was going to take away their pride or their soul.

An. interesting thing happened when I finally went into the Free Library that cold and wintry day last month. Many homeless people went in to look around and no one seemed to mind. I have never seen so many people walk in so freely at any public library in Queens, N.Y., who bear the slogan of being User Friendly.

I have always been an avid bookworm, and the Free Library is a great place for anyone to spend a dreary Sunday afternoon.

The Free Library has books on just about every topic to browse and read. I can not think of a better way for a homeless person to feel better about himself or herself than by reading a book. A person may have no home, but that does not mean they stop learning or stop being curious. .

It all comes down to how we treat people.

All of the people at S.O.M.E. treat the homeless with respect and dignity. They, in tum, respond with dignity and thankfulness. It is very easy for people, at any level of the pecking order, to feel sorry for themselves when everyone around them feels sorry for them.

This country is becoming increasingly divided and it seems like we are all against each other. _Until we step outside of our problems to help those around us, there will always be people waiting for the library to open.

with the children themselves.

But there is a certain line between the two. A parent has to know when it is tirrie to be a parent.

I do sympathize with the parents to some extent. In an age ~where anything goes, it is difficuJt for a working parent to keep a child away from watching a lot of filth on television-or from buying music with explicit lyrics.

But if children are taught the difference between right •and wrong, they know that they will get in trouble if mom or dad catche's them with a CD containing parental advisory lyrics.

When the court finds the guilty party, I hope they take some serious action. I don't want to see these killers ba~k out on _the street when I have my own children.

Capital punishment should be enforced more often. The government is supposed to protect its ·law-abiding citizens.

But it seems like they are protecting those who break the law more. If the killers are back on the street, chances are, they will kill again. ~ _ Do more nice kids like Polee have to die before his killers get their just punishment?

Coffee Chat ...

The Red Cloud Coffee House, located in the theater, has been around since September of 1993. Although local bands and Cabrini students often p.erform there, attendance has. been low. Students have a variety of opinions on the subject.

"On the weekend, a lot of people go home, and that is when a lot of the bands play, " Joe Opiela, a senior, said. "Also, there is a lack of school spirit. "

"People's time is limited," Heather Beltran, a sophomore, said. "The campus's interest i.snot focused on the coffee house which is artistically based. I like it though, because it lets artistic people share whrit their abilities are. "

be

"Some people may not aware of what goes on in the · coffee house,,; said Rob Marish, a sophomore and coffee house manager. "But/ think a lot of students are lazy and would rather sit in their rooms and stare at the walls than go somewhere that is inexpensive , and has a great atmosphere. "

"/ think it is not advertised enough, " Denise Canaris, a first-year student, said. ''A lot of people are busy. If people are new, I think they might go. "

'

"I do not think a lot ofpeople are aware that they can use it, " Monica Scaramuzza, a junior, said, ''A lot of people feel that it is just a theater for plays. I would not know the concept of the theater unless I was involved with the department."

Cabrinilecturer'sart leaves audiencein awe

by Kimberly Sheldron assistantcopy editor

Even though her exhibit is in the library, no one can keep quiet about it. When walking through the doors to the second floor of Holy Spirit Library, an array of bold colors on large canvases will greet the visitor.

No one walks by the 12 oil paintings of Lisa Learner without being captured in their beautiful, yet realistic world.

Learner, whose paintings wil-1 be on exhibit in the Fine Arts Gallery on the second floor of the library until April 23, has painted more than 150 realistically-styled landscapes.

The 12 paintings on display all share common ground. In

each painting, the emphasis is placed on the role of architecture versus landscape.

In one of her oils titled "Deja Vu," the viewer is attracted to a snow-covered field with an old barn draping the background.

Both the architecture of the barn and the wintry landscape are intertwined.

A skier is stopped in his tracks staring at the barn.

In all 12 paintings, Learner depicts places she sees everyday. There are three paintings, _ "Nature Trail," "Pathway" and "The Garden," that Learner seems to use to portray a single figure and its relationship to its environment.

Using the beauty of Haverford College's campus,

she places a bicyclist in three settings full of strong color. She seems to choose a color and emphasize it by contrasting it with other colors.

Learner said many people describe her paintings as being

Formerlocaljournalist'sstdryboughtby Disney

by Richard Jasper copy editor

On a rainy afternoonin late October 1983, Jessica Savitch was doing somethinggenerallyout of character -she was enjoying herself. Having driven almost two hours from Manhattan to New Hope, Pa., Savitch had planned to spend the day with her boyfriend browsing in the quaint shops and art galleries of this picturesque Bucks County town.

However, sometime after 7 p.m. that same evening, Savitch and her boyfriend, having eaten at a romantic inn alongside the Delaware Canal, walked to th<?ir rented Oldsmobile wagon. What happened after that is anyone's guess. Three

hours later, her car was fished from the muddy, 15-foot canal. Savitch, an NBC News-anchorwoman, had died at the age of 35, only 60 miles from where she was born.

Now, more than 11 years later, Hollywood has come knocking on Philadelphia's door in the hopes of shooting a film here about Savitch's life. But like the events surrounding the anchorwoman's mysterious and tragic death, the future of the movie also appears somewhat murky.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, this film, "Up Close and Personal," is expectedtobegin shooting later this spring in the anchor's hometown of Kennett Square, Pa., a small, isolated neighborhood 30 miles southwest of Philadelphia.

Yet, it is still unclear as to who will portray Savitch. Actresses Michelle Pfeiffer ("Batman Returns") and Robin Wright ("Forrest Gump") were both being considered for the role.inlate 1994. In addition, the personal life story of Savitch, the subject of two 1988 biographies, almost disappearsfrom the final script.

According to various film trade publications,"Up CJoseand Personal" is no Jonger about Savitch per say, but rather any small town farm girl who grows upto become a glamorous and revered newscaster.

The original script for the film was based exclusively on the triumphs and tragedies of Savitch, a popular ''Eyewitness News" anchor/ reporter at KYW-TV (Channel 3)

from 1972-1977.

Now, more than fouryears and 23 rewrites later, "Up Close" reportedly contains no references to Savitch's crippling insecurity, her two unhappy marriages, three abortions, and alleged cocaine addiction and bisexuality. Instead, the current Savitch-likecharacterhasbeentransformed into a fictitious newsreporter celebrated for her determinationand popularity who falls in love with either a political candidate or her news producer.

Jon Avnet, who directed the blockbuster hit "Fried Green Tomatoes,"will also direct "Up Close" for Disney's Touchstone division.

Along with production designer Kristi Zea, Avnet visited WPVI-TV

(Channel 6) in late September 1994 to study the basics ofbroadcast ~ews in Philadelphia. Zea also worked with Jonathan Demme on the Oscarwinning movie "Philadelphia," a productionwhich contributed an estimated $20 million to the local economy.

Fortunately, unlike Savitch's tragic personal life, the final details of "Up Close and Personal" are expected to eventuallysort themselves out in the end. If filming begi.t:tsthis year, it will be the second big-budget film to be shot in Philadelphia in 1995. Universal's "Twelve Monkeys," a futuristic time-travel flick starring B~adPitt, Bruce Willis alld Madeline Stowe, is currently being shot in Center City, Philadelphia.

Patrick Myers and Danielle Soronte are members of the accounting club who volunteer in the VITA program.

Club regarded 'write-on' by taxpayers

by Beth Molloy assistant news editor

April is h.ere and so is income-tax time. This time is marked with frustrationand confusion for many, but little do they know, there is a hidden secret lurking within the walls of our very own school.

The Volunteer Income Taxes Assistance program is a service made available to students, faculty, staff, and also tel people off-campus.

It is a program sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service, and was introduced as a requirement for the income-taxes course here beginning in 1986.

The requirement is for the students to do at least 10 tax returns, free of charge, for those who need the service.

However, Ann Servey, assistant professor of accounting said many students go beyond the call of duty.

The duties of the club include anything from state returns to local returns.

According to Servey, the service is aimed at low-income families, elderly people and handicapped people as well.

There are sites that the students visit to contribute this service, which include some local churches.

Servey said any organization or any person is free to call Cabrini for the service.

This service can be either self-help, in which the students teach the people how to do their own returns, or direct assistance, in which the students directly complete the returns for the people.

In addition to being a great service to the community, Servey said the service is a great experience for the students.

"It's a great program for the students to put into practice what they have learned," Servey said.

"It gives students excellent experience."

Also, since Cabrini is a VITA site, the IRS advertises the school.

Club members said this attrafts more people to our school, giving our students even more experience, and further benefits the community as well.

Junior Patrick Myers, president of the accounting association, was active in the program last year and plans to participate on a smaller scale this year as well.

According to Myers, the service is both a service to others and an educational experience for himself.

He said the service allowed a great 4eal of exposure to the community, and also allowed him to gain knowledge in the calculation of his own income taxes.

He said he mostly did taxes for those who were afraid to do them themselves, which included some elderly people.

Myers told a story of an elderly woman who had just lost her husband and could not complete the forms. She tried to tip him $20 for his services. Myers did not accept the cash, saying that the service is not for money but for the service itself and the experience.

"We just help people out as much as we can," Myers said.

Sophomore Gioia Bozzacco, vice president of the accounting association, plans to take the class next spring. She also said she sees it not onlyas a learning experience for students, but also a great service to people such as the elderly and college students, who may not have the money to hire an.accountant to do taxes for them.

"It's a learning experience for us and an opportunityfor others," Bozzacco said.

Myers explained the service as an outreachprogram.He said it is structured to benefit everyone who needs the help.

He also explainedthe program as being similar to an internship.

He said it is an experience benefiting both the community and the students involved.

"It's a real-life experience," M erssaid.

"Why should I wish I had done something when I can?" White said.

"You should fulfill your ambitions to the fullest capacity."

According to McAllister, White enjoys whatever he_is doing at the moment. He is very centered.

"Gary comes from a family of 14 people," May said. "lbat might have something to do with why he is so ambitious."

According to White, his parents did play a big role in his life and he liked living in a big family. ''I do not know anything else, so

it is not unnatural for me tobe ina big family," White said. "I am glad that I have so many people in my·family ."

"He respects everyone even ifhe disagrees with or does not like someone," McAllister said. "He gets that from his family."

White was surprised that he was seen as a friendly and charming person.

"You should treat people the way you want them to treat you," he said.

According to McAllister, White is a very intelligent and kind person,

one who would neyer hurt anyone. . White said he juggles all of his different interests by deciding what needs to. be done first, and pursues that project.

He decides what is important and what is not.

In his spare time, White likes to read, write and he even likes-ballroom dancing.

Fightingfire with amb·ition

by Rich Schepis staff writer

Sounds of sirens scream through the cold eve)ling air.

Smoke rises from an open window. White hot flames crackle all around. Wood explodes from the pressure of the intense heat. Normally this would be a person's cue to rush out of the building before it is totally engulfed in flames.

But not Dave Thompson.

He rushes in headlong where even angels fear to tread.

"It's incredible," Thompson, ffoancial aid and admissions counselor, said. "The adrenaline starts to flow. There is nothing like it."

Thompson, who graduated from Cabrini in the spring ofl 993 with a degree in human resource management, has been battling

mother nature for the past four years.

At present, he is a member of the Malvern and Goshen Volunteer Fire Companies.

Thompson said he does not fight fire for the reasons most firefighters do.

"I don't do it for the sense of helping someone," Thompson said. "I do it because it is something I want to do."

Summersession Studentsquestion programreconstructedequalityof scholarships

by Beth Molloy assistant news editor

A recent survey con~ucted by the continuing education division has resulted in a re-evaluation of the present summer session program.

This evaluation has led to a reconstruction that includes a wider variety of classes offered.

According to students, this change is past due. The overall consensus has been that the school has not offered a variety of courses, and in addition, the price is too costly.

Sophomores Christa Gervasi and Phil Matteo have both taken summer classes at Delaware County Community College.

Their main reason for going elsewhere is because the price of taldng summer courses at Cabrini is $206 a credit.

Other factors include the lack of variety a.t Cabrini and the commute they would have to make. However,: Matteo said he would take the courses he needs ·at Cabrini if the price was lower.

"If it was the same price at· Cabrini, I would probably choose Cabrini," Matteo said.

Sophomore Lisa Watson also took summer classes atD.C.C.C. this past summer.

She said her main concerns were the times offered.

Also, she changed her major from business to accounting, so she needed to take Accounting I and II in order to be on track.

At Cabrini, these courses were held only at night. .

"There just aren't enough times offered at Cabrini," Watson said.

According to Dr. Lorraine Cavaliere, dean of the adult and continuing education division, the survey was sent to all Cabrini students and additional students within a 30-mile radius of the school during spring registration, in response to such concerns.

Nearly 800 surveys were returned, and Cavaliere said _ a new summer session catalog-will be distributed by mid-March. ('We would love for our own students to stay at Cabrini for the summer sessions," Cavaliere said. She also said she is hoping to see an increase in students outside of Cabrini attending the summer sessions.·

The new catalog will reflect the survey information. It will also reflect the voice of the division chairs on what they think students need to be offered, and also an advising point of view from student advisers. Finally, results from past sessions will be analyzed.

Cavaliere said the catalog will offer a wider variety of courses and also more relevant courses.

"If students tell us what they need and we can get critical masses of people together, then we will make t),lecourse hap. pen," Cavaliere said.

As for the future, Cavaliere said an advising module on the computers in the · registrar's office is being planned to reveal what courses are the most critically needed for students.

Until then, Cavaliere said that it is important that the student bod_yvoice their concerns.

As for the price issue, Cavaliere said she does not see any change happening.

The current price of $206 per credit seems costly to students who would rather go to a community college that charges prices that are relatively less.

Cavaliere said that the board of trustees establishes the· price, and that it is a lot higher since Cabrini is a private institution. She also said she -does not see an increase in the price due to the changes made.

In addition to the summer session upgrades, Cavaliere said that there will be a Spanish summer camp offered· this summer to children ages 8-14.

An exchange- program will also take place this summer, which was arranged by Dr. Cynthia Halpern, professor of the for~ eign language department. Atpresegt, she is recruiting students to study at the Catholic University in Ponce, a metropolitan city in Puerto Rico.

"This is fust the beginning of a whole language institute that is going to address language development across the board," Cavaliere said.

Cavaliere said she encourages students to voice their opinions and to contact her in the continuing education office at extension 8500.

Many people have·trouble finding and applying for scholarships because a lot of scholarships are geared toward only one nationality.

First-yearstudent JeannineWesolowski is a perfect example of this. · Wesolowski said she searched for some scholarships to apply for before she came to Cabrini but she could not find any that pertained to her.

Wesolowski is Italian, li;jsh, Polish, Hungarian and German.

Even as a part of all those nationalities, she could not find a scholarship that applied to her.

"I was looking to apply for scholarships," Wesolowski said, "but the only ones that would have benefited me were only open to people of another ethnic background."

Many studentssaid they think that scholarships should be open to everyone, that they should not be based on nationality. ~•Scholarshipsshould be open to everyone," first-year student James Shulersaid.

"Scholarships reflect a person's inside and intelligence, not their outside." Shule_ris Dutch, Gennan and Irish.

Sophomore Joey Barilotti said, "I think everyone should have an equal chance at

-scholarships." Barilotti is Italian.

First-year student Ediely Espinola is Filipino.

"I think most scholarships should be available for all students," Espinola said, "but some scholarships are specifically designed for minorities because they apply to minorities."

The segregation of aid does not stop at scholarships. It extends into co-operative education as well.

Nancy Hutchison, director of co-operative education and career services, said there aremany internships, as well as scholarships, that are only available to minorities.

"Most internships are not available to everyone," Hutchison said. "Many are only available to certain groups."

Wesolowski said, "I think anyone who is qualified, regardless of their nationality, should have an equal opportunity at an internship."

Hutchison named some companies that offer internships only to minorities. State Farm insurance, IndependenceBlue Cross/ Blue Shield, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Trenton Times are a few.

"These companies only offer internship to minorities," Hutchison said, "because they want to encoumge minorities to improve themselves."

If students choose to use another insurance plan, they should send in the insurance waiver form with their insurance information and student identification number. If health services does not receive a student's form, they assume the student would like to be included in the GTL plans.

"It is important to send the waiver forms in," Bonfiglio said. It helps the school health services to figure out how many plans they need to reserve.

"Like I was a god, or something," Michael Jordan said about the commotion that arose when he played his first basketball game in 21 months.

The NCAA game that drew the most paid attendance was 66, 144forLSU's8280 victory over Georgetown on Jan. 28, 1989.

-compiled by Father Ambrose

Kerry Kittles is one of the best college basketball players in the country, a certain lottery pick if he chooses to tum pro, the Big East regular season Most Valuable Player, as well as the Big East Tournament MVP. All of which leads me towonderwhy the basketball was not in his hands at the end of regulation and the first overtime of the Wildcats first round NCAA loss to Old Dominion.

However, there are many other questions leading up to that one.

Why did Villanova break the cardinal sin of basketball and foul Petey Seesoms while Sessoms was attempting a three-pointer •ate in regulation:? The three foul shots tied the contest, setting up 'Nova for one final play. Of course, with Mr. First-Team All-America on their side, head coach Steve Lappas inexplicably ran a play for center Jason Lawson. And Lawson, even more inexplicably, missed two very niakeable layups to force overtime.

At the end of the first overtime, Villanova once again had the ball, coming out of a timeout, with a chance to win the game. Of course, Kittles, their main gun, the man who carried them all year, wo~ld not be used as a decoy this time, right? Wrong. The same play was run for Lawson, figuring he couldn't miss another layup, could he? However, guard Alvin Williams slipped to the ground as he was about to make the entry pass, and ODU almost won at the buzzer.

In the second overtime, the Wildcats jumped to a five-point lead. But guard Jonathon Haynes missed two free throws, and Old Dominion pulled even once again. Proving that the third time was indeed a charm, Lappas designed a play for Kerry Kittles. The future NBA superstar broke down his man and with seconds remaining, passed the ball. That was bad. The fact that he was passing the ball to Haynes was even worse.

Haynes, a one time Temple Owl, proved that he still shoots like one by throwing up an airball, and the third overtime began.

During which forward Chuck Kornegay, who wanted to make the loss a total team effort, missed five shots from within five feet of the basket on the same possession. Kittles did not have the opportunity to run away from pressure in the third overtime, as ODU ran away with the game.

I might not be as upset with the 'Cats if I did not think that they were going to reach Seattle. But that was one of the worst showings of the tournament to date.

One final question: has anybody seen shootingguardEricEberzordidhemiss the fli t to Alban ?

Junior Heather Hoffman runs for first in the game against Rosemont. The Cavs dominated the doubleheader, winning 11~ 1 in the first game and 15-7 in the second game.

To some, the signs of spring are birds chirping and the sun shining. To many, Cabrini softball fans in particular, the signs are different.

The sound of senior Jennifer Wunsch' s fastball smacking the leather of junior Heather Hoffman's catcher's mit may alert the typit:al fan. To the more offensive-minded fan, first-year student Erin O'Neill may awaken fans when she rips the ball into the outfield for a base hit.

No matter how you determine that spring has arrived, whether it be the birds flying or the softball saili~g, remember that along with it comes the 1995 Lady Cavalier's softball team.

The Lady Cavs opened the 1995 season with a disappointing loss to Widener University on Tuesday, March 14 at Widener.

However, they bounced back quickly when they won their first Pennsylvania Athletic Conference doubleheader against Rosemont College on Friday, March 16 at home.

"Losing our first game pulled us all together," outfielder Denise Canaris, a first-year student, said. . In g~me one, pitcher Wunsch recorded four walks and four strikeouts and won the game in

five innings of work by a score of 11-1.

The Lady Cavs came out roaring with three runs in the first inning. They then paced themselves, adding little by liftle to their lead, incJuding a solo homerun by newcomer O'Neill in 'the third inning.

"I'm really glad- I came out for the team," O'Neill said.

"We have a lot of team players who really want to win. I'm just glad to be a part of it."

O'Neill ended the day with three hits, a single, a triple as well as the homerun and two - runs batted in.

The Lady Cavs added three more in the fifth to give them an 11-1 lead and end the game because of the 10-run rule. One game down, one more to go.

Junior Nicole Rose took over the pitching duties for the .Lady Cavs in game two, but not for long.

After three solid innings in a close game, Rose struggled in the fourth. After walking the bases loaded, Rose was relieved · by Wunsch.

Although Wunsch walked the first batter she faced and allowed Rosemont to extend their lead to 7-5, Wunsch retired the next three batters and left the bases loaded without any further damage.

The Lady Cavs then took over with a very productive fifth inning. They recorded nine runs to take a 14- 7 lead that led to an

eventual 15-7 victory.

Infielders Jennifer Wiederwax, a sophomore, and Chris Lear, a first-year student, each had two runs batted in.

Sophomore co-captain Sis Slater added one.

"These two wins are the start of something great," Slater said.

"We're a young team with only a few upperclassman so there's only room for improvement."

The Lady Cavs made it to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference chaqipionship last year only to lose to Misericordia College. However, this year is another season and another team.

"Last year if we were behind, we would have folded and I think we learned from that experience," Coach Jim Hedtke said. "There's now a lot of maturity on this team. We still play our own g.ame if we get behind."

The players themselves only had praise for one another.

1'We have strong returning players and an excellent bunch of new players," Canaris said.

"We played a good game by pulling together and never giving up," infielder Mandi Hopta, a first-year student, said.

Spring is here. The birds are singing and the bats are swinging. As long as the sun shines, so will the Lady Cavs.

"We are definitely a force to be reckoned with in the PAC," Canaris said.
