Domestic vi·olence: A woman shares her experiences with physical and mental abuse by John Lindsay assistant arts & entertainment editor
"He beat me with words, but when he began to beat me with his hands I wanted out," Cathy said. Cathy started her college life full of excitement and trust. When she met Marc she trusted him first as a friend. Then they started going out. They met at orientation and talked a lot. Marc was the first guy to ever tell Cathy that she was beautiful. She thought that this meant that Marc loved her.
D Statistics from the Family Violence Prevention Center in Sao Francisco state that in nine out of 10 domestic violence cases, the victim is usually in a relationship for some time before the verbal or physical abuse starts. ·
D Marc and Cathy were always together. Marc's friends were her friends and Cathy's friends were his. "When Marc and I got completely comfortable with one another, that is when he began to demean me," Cathy said. The remarks were just little things.
When they were together he would tell her to get up and fix him something to eat. "It wasn't always what he said, it was the way he said it," Cathy said. Marc would.also belittle her in front of his friends, trying to prove that he was right and she was wrong. He would say things like, ''why are you so stupid or are you just slow?"

One night, an argument broke out between Cathy and Marc and he hit her and threw her against a wall. A scream belted out as she hit the wall. Her hope was that someone in the dorm would have heard her scream. As she got up Marc, tried to stop her. "It's over, let me out!" Cathy said. Marc let her out the door, begging and pleading with her. She turned and walked away.
In the Philadelphia area, people who are abused can take their plea to Family Court, the Abuse Assistance Unit/Domestic Violence. The person has an interview where they fill out a petition explaining the relationship to the defendant. Then, while they wait, the petition is taken upstairs to the judge of expository communication or the signing judge. The signing judge decides if ¢ere wasfearofintimateorbodilyinjury.

For most abusers, it is not so much about the abuse it is about a need to be in control or in power. The abuser does not harm the person fo! physical reasons, but more for psychological reasons, according to the Prevention Center.
D "The arguments with Marc slowly got worse," said Cathy. "Until once he struck me, hard!" Like other couples, Marc and Cathy had arguments. In this particular argument,. Marc just started getting angry for no apparent reason. Marc and Cathy were talking, and Marc started to get angry and he reached over and hit her. "It hurt, not because of him hitting me, because I felt like a fool,"
Counselors at the Prevention Center speculate that why it is so easy for the victims to excuse the abuse is because the abuser is someone they- are close to and they really believe it will stop.

During a recent journalism class discussion, it became evident that many people do not realize just how commonplace domestic violence is. Physical and mental abuse is not something that happens occasionally and only to a small percentage of the population. According to the Family Violence Prevention Center in San Francisco, a woman is beaten somewhere in the United States every nine seconds. That is approximately 31 million women a year. Many people, men and women, tum their heads away when they hear about cases of domestic violence. Some small spark of compassion may flare for a moment, but it soon disappears. After all, they are not the ones being abused, and it really doesn't happen all that often, does it? Tell that to the millions of women like Nicole Brown Simpson who were beaten or murdered last year and see what sort of response you will get. Domestic violence is serious. It can happen to anyone. It is not confined to the ghettos. It is not a "white thing" or a "black thing" or a "Hispanic thing." It is not a "rich thing" or a "poor thing." It is not someone else's problem. It is not something that happens occasionally and only to those women or men or children who are "asking for it." Domestic violence is a part of everyday life in this great country of ours, where our women and children are being raped and beaten by people they care for and about. This cannot be ignored. It is our problem, and it will continue to be a problem until everyone - men, women and children - stop turning their heads away and start saying "stop the violence."

The new benches located outside of the Widener Center were a pleasant surprise. This gives students another. place besides the peace garden to smoke, talk, study or daydream. The timing is also perfect because the weather is becoming warmer.
The Open House held last weekend was a great success thanks to the hard work of the tour guides. Over 400 students attended and the tours were larger than usual.
In an effort to improve service, the Wood Company handed out surveys during peak meal hours. They were eager for students to fill them out. It is hoped that the ideas suggested in these surveys are implemented.

!1.:;eff er .· Rememberingthe '60s: What has changed? Bonfiglio, vice president student development
Twenty-five years ago this May, the so-called student movement of the 1960s effectively came to an end with the shooting of four college:aged youths at an anti-Vietnam war demonstration at Kent State University by members of the Ohio National Guard, and the shooting of students at Jackson State University at another demonstration several days later. If you can imagine four students at Cabrini being shot down for exercising. their constitutional right to demonstrate peacefully on campus, you can imagine how it must have felt to have been a college student during this time.
D Student Movement The student movement had its beginnings 10 years earlier, in May 1960. The House Un-American Activities Committee came to San Francisco to hold two weeks of hearings on disloyalty and subversion, and to root out what was perceived to be communist influence in the government. Also in 1960, a group of college and university affiliates of a political organization called the League for Industrial Democracy renamed themselves the Students for a Democratic Society, and pledged themselves to begin the task of building a new left-wing political movement among American students. The philosophy of SDS was put forth in the 1962 Port Huron Statement, written by Tom Hayden. The student movement lamented the disillusion that was setting in among the young, and the "hypocrisy of American ideals." It cited the "paradoxes" of racism and militarism in a society that boasted of being egalitarian and peace loving. The nation's success in accumulating wealth, according to the statement, did not signal a golden age. On the contrary, it signaled a decline in life. The statement also spoke of a society which was not run on a democratic model, but by industrial and business elites who ran foreign policy. The document also lamented the inadequacy of the American university, especially critic_izing the cumbersome nature of academic bureaucracy and of the demeaning supervision over student behavior. Furthermore, the document stated that communism in American politics is mindless paranoia. However, it did not defend the Soviet Union, which it saw as militaristic.
D Cabrini What was it like at Cabrini in the 1960s? On one level, Cabrini is recalled as a place f,!r removed from demonstrations and shootings. Mary Ann Mirra, a sec~etary in tte registrar's office, has fond memories of a Cabrini in the '60s when everyone knew everyone and that the discord of the outside world was miles away. Mirra's most vivid recollection of

Professorunhappy aboutportrayalof psychic To the editor: The March 17 edition of Loquitur presented an article in the arts & entertainment !;ection on "Cabrini's psychic friend networks." In that article, it is reported that psychic Valerie Morrison team-taught a course (presumably in parapsychology) with me in the psychology department. I must admit that I am particularly annoyed by those who seek to validate what they do by linking themselves with academia. For the record, I have never team-taught a course with Valerie Morrison. Moreover, she has not been, at any time, associated with the psychology department during my tenure here. While I do not claim 85 percent accuracy of predictions as she apparently does, I feel comfortable in this instance predicting, with 100 percent accuracy, that I will not be teaching a course with her in the future. Since we are all vulnerable to the stresses of life, it seems reasonable that we would look for ways to deal with these stresses. Many times we look for the easy way out. My best advice to those who seek answers to life's problems is to look in the direction of qualified, competent and licensed practitioners in the mental health field or seek counsel from a trusted clergy member. Do not be enticed by the claims of psychics. The scientific community has, time and time again, been unable to confirm the presence of reliable and valid psychic prediction. I wish to make one last point. I am disappointed that Loquitur published Valerie Morrison's fees, phone number and fax. My concern is that the casual reader may see this as an informal endorsement.

Roberta Feehan, R.N., Ph.D., came to the Xavier Great Room on Tuesday, March 28 to speak to a small group of women about nutrition and keeping fit.
Eighty percent of the calories we take in get stored as fat, Feehan said. The purpose of fat is to be stored and move around fat soluble vitamins. "It is not what you eat," Feehan said, "but rather the amount of food you eat that really counts." · Eating smaller portions is better, she said, and you should have a piece of fruit or some type of vegetable everyday. Feehan also said women should drink eight ounces of water a day. Losing weight can be a difficult task for many people, Feehan said. Every time a -person gains weight after losing it, it takes longer to lose it again so the body must work harder, she said. "If you do tomorrow a little more than you do today," Feehan said, "it will become easier and easier to become a healthier person." Feehan finished her lecture with demonstrations of the Step and Reebok Slide, which are some of the mediums she uses in her aerobics classes.

College heads in rightdirectionfor reaccreditation by Justin Mlrlglianl staff writer
Every 10 years, Middle States Commission on Higher Education sends a team of evaluatorsto Cabrini to see if the college should receive reaccreditation. This year is the tenth for Cabrini. The team of nine people, comprised of faculty and administrators of other colleges, will be at Cabrini from March 26 through the 29. To prepare for the visit, the college did a self-study. The study is an overview of the last 10 years at Cabrini. The report is done by several members of the Cabrini administration. The administration is broken up into groups and each group covers a different aspect of Cabrini. The report is to point out the good
as well as the bad points of the college. The report covers trends and surveys on how Cabrini compares with other colleges in several areas. The study showed that Cabrini is superior in a lot of areas. After the team reads the report, they send back a 20-page report of their own. Cabrini will then get a chance to correct any factual errors. Once the visit is completedby the team, they decide whether to reaccreditate the college or not. The decision will come in June. While there is a lot of optimism that Cabrini will be r~accreditated, the leaders of the self-study know there is room for improvement. "It is a good healthy process and it should be done continuously," Dr. MaryAnne Biller , co-chair person
of Middle States, said. ''We need more athletic facilities. There is also a lot of crowding in the donns. We also need more science labs.'' Biller said she feels that Cabrini has to keep putting money in for financial aid to stay competitive. The optimism felt by the staff has also been echoed by students. "I get a lot of individual attention in class and the teachers are very easy to talk to," first-year student, Phyllis Cohen said. "I think it is good that the classes are small and you can ask questions no matter how stupid you may think they are. You will definitelyget the help you need. I would make the same choice to come to Cabrini, because I have talked to friends ?t other schools and I realize how good I have it.''
"I think at Cabrini you get a wellbalanced education compared to other schools. This is a big family," BillyMyers,afirst-yearstudent,said, "Besides academics,you are able to have a person-to-person conservation with your instructorwhich is not found in other schools. I am happy I chose Cabrini." "I like the friendly atmosphere," first-yearstudentJames Shulersaid. "I also appreciate the quality of the staff and how they help the students to develop their abilities. I had the opportunity at 5 feet 5 inches tall to play college basketball. I think I am receiving a just as good or an even better education as the top-notch schools." "I like the atmosphereof the small classes," first-year student Jeannine
Wesolowski said. "And since it is such a small school, you are ,!ibleto meet more friends. If I had the decision to make again, I would choose Cabrini." The same students temper the optimism with objectivity. "As for the livingsituation,I think triples do not work, no matter who the people are," Cohen said. "Three peopleinthesameroomisnotagood idea." "The athletic fields are not abundant at Cabrini," Wesolowski said. "I also don't like the parking situation. I alwayswind up parking in the Grace Hall parking lot, and I paid $25 to be able to find a convenient parking spot." The general consensusis that Cabrir1iis headingin the right direction.

The room is silent. It is 6:59 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Suddenly, the radio blurts out, "KYW News Radio 1060." It is now 7 a.m.as the woman reaches for the "off' switch on her alarm clock. There is a knock at the door. Half awake, she says, "Yeah!" "Areyougoingtousethebathroom?" asksthevoiceon theother side of the door. The woman replies yes, but adds that she will not belong. "Can you just let me know when you're done?" says the voice. "Sure," the woman replies. This is usually the way a typical day begins for transfer student Wendy Wilke. Wilke lives in Kingswood apartments with her two sophoa more roommates,JamieLatshaw and Donna Schaeffer. "They're both sweeties, and
we get along well," Wilke said. "Wendy is a very easy person to live with," Latshaw said. "She is very open and concerned." Wendy is a 34-year-old,nontraditionalresidentstudent and an education major. After having a three-hour commute to and from Montgomery County Community College last year, Wilke decided to reside on campus at Cabrini. Wilkesaid she liked being close to the resources and not having to commute everyday. She also added the fact that it became very expensivecommuting everyday. She was spendingnear!y $30 each week on transportation. So, upon the recommendationof Dr. Al Rauer, assistantprofessor of education, she thought she would check out Cabrini. "HehighlyrecommendedCabrini College and Dr. Dawn Middleton,a former student of his," Wilke ~aid. Wendy is no strangerto change, however. Herfatherwasasalesman, and the family moved frequently.
Born in Pottstown,Pa, Wilke has lived in New Jersey, Connecticut and Cordoba,Mexico,just to name a few. In 1982, when she was 21 years old, Wilke moved to SturgeonBay, Wis. with her fiance, Bob. Three years later, they married. "I really wanted it to work. I believed in the American dream -the house, the dog, the kids," she said. However,theirrelationshipgot worse when they married. Therewasn't anyphysicalabuse, but there was a lot of emotionaland mental abuse, Wilke said. They would fight over who took precedence over who, and other little things. ''There would always be somethingwrong,"Wilkesaid."Always." They becamedependenton each other, and she aJwaysfeared his disapproval. "He said, 'This is your job, and you better do it,' " Wilke said. While she wa!;married, Wendy developed agoraphobia,the fear of open spaces.
Shewas unableto leaveherhome, and spent her days sitting on the couch watching soap QPeras. She even gainedover 100poundsduring this time. Wendy attributes the illness to many differentevents in her life including childhood abuse, the pressuresof her marriageand her dependency on her husband. "I wasn't self-fulfilled," Wilke said. "Littleby littleI startedhelping myself." She would take littlewalks down to the end of the block at first, and then progressively they became longer. Shedeveloped·astrongfaith and trust in God, as well. She said she read a lot, and realized that she wasn't the only one with this illness. She alsowent into therapyto help with her recovery. Finally,after nearly nine yearsof marriage, Wilke decided to leave. She moved back to Pennsylvaniato be near her family. After a short time in retail sales, shedecidedthat itwasn',ther"thing."
So Wilke decided to go back to schoolto finishher degree,and eventually go on to graduate school to pursue a master's degree in library science. Wilke enjoys children and · tho.ughtthat elementary education would be a good start for her career. After only a few weeks, and a kit of help from the admissions staff, Wilke started at Cabrini in January. Wilke said that Cabriniis like a community to her. Before attendingCabrini,shehiulattended four othercolleges. "What'sneat aboutCabriniis that die people are all different ages, butthere's very little tensioa,"Wilkesaid. Wilkesaid that everyonehere is willingto help, and the people are very cooperative. "The professors have integrity," Wilke said. "They don't lower their standards." "I feelconfident,"Wilkesaid. "I know I'll get a job."

"Since the Mr. Cabrini contest is actually a beauty pageant, and I am the epitome of beauty, I shall have no problem in showing up the fat-bodied competition," Lindo Sabatini, senior and marketing major, said.
Imagine the Miss America pageant. There is the talent contest, the fonnal-wear contest, the swim-wear contest and then there is the question-and~answer segment. Now imagine the pageant with a different test. The contestants do not have long, blonde hair, nor do they wear a two-piece swimsuit. Their formal wear does not consist of a long, fitted, cleavage-revealing gown. They will not win a year's supply of Revlon cosmetics. On Thursday, March 30, five of Cabrini's most renown men will compete for the title of "Mr. Cabrini" in the Widener Center Lecture Hall at 9:30 p.m. In an effort to raise money for the senior class, seniors John Feketics, Frank Petrane, Robert Risse, Lindo Sabatini and Michael Tims will show off their best talents in the first Mr. Cabrini Contest. Before the contest, these five men were each given a bucket to fill with money. As
they walked through the caf\:teria and down the halls with a class officer, they asked for donations. The amount of money each man raises is also being taken into account when judging the contest. In addition to winning the title of "Mr. Cabrini," the winner will be awarded $100. Petrane and Risse both agreed that whoever wins the money will split it with the rest of the contestants, so they can all go out that night. Between events, nine eligible bachelors will be auctioned off. Any person putting out the most money on the following bachelors will have the opportunity to take him for a night: Kevin Besemer, a sophomore; Shawn McAleer, a junior; Far'd Nasir, a first-year student; MichaelPannentier, afirstyear student; Joseph Ricci, a junior; Kevin Shorten, a junior; Eric Tidwell, a junior; Robert Uff, a sophomore; or Graham Vigliotta, a sophomore. Admission to the contest is $1. All profits will go to the senior class.

many differences. By using this metaphor to illustrate the common conflicts between men and women, Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually-fulfilling loving relationships. His advice explains how to counteract these differences by using various communication techniques. He uses examples to raise awareness of specific emotional needs, and explores both men's and women's manners of behavior and why they act the way they do. This tool, or self-help guide, has recently become one of the most popular means of helping couples to deal with their differences and avoid ending their once happy relationships. For women, it describes men as being "rubber bands" that expand and contract as a result of needing space or time to rediscover their individuality after becoming intimate with their partners. So, women, if everything seems to be going well and suddenly he doesn't call for a few days, don't take it personally. He will call when the time is right for him to discover that it is safe for him to become close to another person, yet at the same time, remain "independent." For men, this book explains why women are like waves and tend to use their emotions to govern their actions. It tells you how to 'read,' or understand, and cope with these emotions that may not seem warranted at times. It also helps men deal with the unsolicited advice that they may receive from women. These are only a few of the areas that Grii.y's book covers. It also explores hidden messages or ·
misinterpretations within conversations and actions that both of the sexes face when communicating to each other. Men and women speak two very different languages and often misinterpret each other's messages which then tum into heated arguments where neither side wants to listen to the other. So, for both men and women, this book can guide each partner toward a more stable, open field of communicating, and assist in determining what both players want out of their relationship. What this book has been doing for millions of people within the last few months is helping couples to look in from the "outside" of their relationships, instead of from either the inside out or from only one side. It assists individuals in exploring their own actions and behaviors and interprets them into what their partner might feel from their pattern of behavior. F r o m publishing many self-help guides that explore human communication to infomercials and group counseling, John Gray is once again raising an issue that has been raised a million times in the past. · But his focus is on the future, and with one out of two couples divorcing in this day and age, it is about time that someone has taken an objective stand and created a guide for both men and women to use. This book does not segregate or blame either sex at any time, instead it explains and advises, based on actual examples and situations. It teaches couples how to respect and enjoy each others differences and how to build from them and appreciate them. ·
The fine arts department of Cabrini College will be the host of a Balinese Music and Dance performance on Sunday, April 2. The event, set to begin at 3 p.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall, will feature the performances of I Wayan Rai, his wife Gusti Ayu Srinaith, and their children, I Gde Agus Jaya Sadguna, 10, and I Gde Made Indra Sadguna, 8. I Wayan Rai arid Gusti Ayu Srinaith, natives of Bali, studied at Sekkolah Tinggi Seni Indonesia (STSI), the Indonesian University Performing Arts. The family is currently residing in Maryland where I Wayan Rai is completing his doctorate at the University of Maryland in ethnomusic9logy. The family performs artistic and ceremonial music with dances that are native to the island of Bali. Their inspirational presentations are filled with the beautiful sophistication that mixes the gamelan (a typical Balinese orchestra) with detailed interpretations of traditional sacred rituals. "In our country when boys are learning how to play baseball, these children are learning the ceremonial dances of their country," Dr. Adeline Bethany, chair of the fine arts department, said. Sue Hild, a continuing education student, has been working closely with the performers and Dr. Bethany in preparation for the performance. "Since they perform ceremonial dances, I was in charge of gathering flowers, fruit and rice because in the beginning of their performance they give an offering to the gods," Hild said. "They are really famous in Bali and I can't wait to see them." I Wayan Rai has taught various gamelan styles, has compiled collections of children's songs, and composes and performs his own works. "I can't believe all of the culturally-diverse, high caliber performances that Cabrini exposes their students to," Hild said. The family's performance on April 2 will be a rare and exciting opportunity for the college community to experience the uniqueness and beauty of the Balineseculture.

SEPTA strike stalls commutertravel by Joe Marturano staff writer
As the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority strike continues to create havoc for Philadelphia's mass transit riders, the labor dispute drags on. Harry Lombardo, the transit union president, said the only way SEPTA employees could get a raise would be if the union agreed to enough work-rule changes and other savings to fund it. Lombardo said no one in city or state government took the steps necessary to prevent a strike. Last week, many commuters said. that they were angry at both sides in the dispute, that both sides talk and threaten, but that they did not expect a strike. The commuters were wrong. On Monday, March 27, at 12:01 a.m., the contracts of 5,200 SEPTA union members expired. As a result, City Division bus, trolley and elevated subway services stopped operating. This came as a shock to the more than 300,000 commuters who rely on the
system to get to work or to school everyday. Initially, the city's transit workers were set to strike on Tuesday, March 14, but on Wednesday, March 15, they postponed their deadline to March 27. SEPTA officials said they welcomed the date change but stressed that the offer for a new contract had not changed. Lombardo has said that the new contract would give workers no raises for three years unless they were paid for by savings from changes in health care, workers compensation or other benefits. ThisstrikeisnothingnewformanySEPTA riders, even though the last strike in 1986 had become a distant memory. After all, it has been nine years since Philadelphia has had to deal with the inconvenience that accompanies a SEPTA strike. That walkout, which only lasted four days, was the fifth in 19 years. The others were: 1981, which lasted 19 days; 197.7, which lasted 44 days; 1975, which lasted 11 days; and 1971, which lasted nine days. In nearly every SEPTA contract negotiation in the past 20 years, talks have continued

right up to - and sometimes beyond -the stroke-of midnight on the deadline day. This current labor dispute was no exception. Just after midnight on Monday, March 27, SEPTA workers arrived at the 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby with picket signs in hand announcing thefr walkout. This left many commuters in the lurch come early Tuesday morning, March 28. However, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, day number one of the city transit strike ran relatively smoothly for most area commuters. Although more SEPTA riders took to their cars, others carpooled or jammed suburban Regional Rail stations to get where they wanted to go. Yet, come Monday, April 3, the daily rush-hour commute may only become worse. SEPTA's Red Arrow Division, which operates bus and trolley lines throughout Delaware County, will also go on strike if a settlement is not reached by Sunday, April 2. First-year student James Shuler is a Lansdowne, Pa., resident and commuter. He said that if the transit strike eventually reaches
the suburbs, he will have no way to get to school. "Hopefully if there is a strike," Shuler said, "it will not last long because I know if I keep bugging my dad for a ride, he'll get mad." Shuler said he thought that SEPTA was usually pretty reliable but not always on time. He did, however, see his personal silver lining around the SEPTA cloud. "Maybe this strike will make my dad realize that I need my driver's license," Shuler said. "I really depend on SEPTA and I don't know how I'm going to get to school," firstyear student Erin McHugh,-aDrexel Hill, Pa. resident, said. • Information on revised train schedules and suburban transit routes can be obtained from SEPTA at (215) 580-7800, which will be staffed 24 hours a day. For other questions, SEPTA's customer service numbers are (215) 580-7854 and (215) 580-7856, which are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.

The Flyers were without star right wing, Mikael Renberg, who hurt his shoulder during the third period of Saturday's game. But the Flyers got strong goaltending from Dominic Rousell.

ONFL The Philadelphia Eagles learned that the San Francisco Forty-Niners will not match the $6.9 million offer sheet the Eagles offered to free-agent Ricky Watters.

The grass is getting greener, the temperatures are starting to rise, spring is in the air. It is time for baseball to come back. We have put up with the charade long enough. Let's end the strike, get the real players out on the field and play ball. And do it soon, because I am starting to break. I find myself watching Andrew Albrecht and Ramon Sambo, Chris Gies, and my favorite Phil-in, Jeff Stone. In fact, the Phil-ins are playing .500 ball against teams that are actually using minor leaguers. And, hey, the game on Sunday was more interesting than the lacrosse match. In fact, Tim Holland might be the best defensive shortstop the Phillies have had in recent years. And Darren Niethammer went yard, the other day, his second of the preseason. This team could travel north next week. But what is the deal with the other guys? All I keep hearing is legalese like injunctions and the National Labor Relations Board. Can't we all just get along? The players need to realize that it is the game that brings people back year after year, not the· players. It has survived without Ruth, without Williams, witho1;1t Mays, it can make it without Bonds, without Griffey, without Thomas. And the owners need to realize that they will lose money without Bonds, and Griffey, and Thomas, and that the purists will come back, but not many others will. And there are a lot less purists today. America needs baseball. No matter how much press Jordan gets about his return to the NBA, no matter how hot the Flyers are, no matter what the numbers say about baseball's decreasing popularity, spring and summer are just not the same without the crack of the bat, the seventh inning stretch and ballpark franks. Baseball owes us this season. The owners owe us. The players owe us. We want good baseball. But bad baseball is still better than nothing·. If a settlement is not reached soon, get ready to root, root, root for the Phil-ins. Sambo's got speed, Holland can field, Albrecht has power and Jeff Stone always had potential...
