Special-interest housingreturns

by Lisa Hines staff writer

No onehasdoneitat Cabriniforthe past tw9 years. Now,withthe housing lotteryaroundthecorner,special-interest housingmay be comingback.

Apparently,therehas beenword at Cabriniabout a dry donn that will be usedsolelyforacademicmajors.

However,Laura Irwin, ~istant directorof residentlife,confirmed thatwasjust a rumor. ''We already have dry facilities, WoodcrestandXavier,wherethesanctionsfor alcoholare greaterthan those forthehouses," Irwin said. ''Wedon't have in mind to restrictany other area on campus,unlessthe studentsthemselvesrequestit."

Afterthehousing-committeemeeting, Irwin broughtup the fact that she wasinterestedin special-interesthousing.

'Toere hasbeen a requestby some studentsforalivingspacethat'squieter thantherestofthecampu.5,"lrwinsaid.

She spoke to Cathy Caulfield,director of residentlife, and discovered that there was a history of special interesthousingat Cabrini.

"Itisa processofapplication,"lrwin said "I tookout allthepaperworkand the housingcommitteedisaissed what their expectationswould be." lrwinexplainedthathavingahouse oncampusisprime-timespace.Therefore,a clauseisto be drawnupbetween the residentsof the houseand resident life.

This proposalwillinvolvewhat the housewillgivebackto residentlifeand the community.

Special-interesthousing infonnation was given along with housing lotteryinfonnation.Signswere putup as well.

When the meeting was held, an academic group, sports group and communityservicegroupattended.

Theywere infonnedaboutthe process and told to submit applications along with proposals by Monday, March Tl. Aftera reviewof the applicationby residentlife~theywerethengiventothe housing committee. The committee can then submit a recommendationto Dr.RobertBonfiglio,vicepresidentfor studentdevelopment.

Bonfigliowill make a decisionbefore the housinglottery.

According to Irwin, the original proposal stated that one program per semesterwas due from the house. ''I felt that one programwas not

enough, so it was changed to three," Irwin said.

Kelly Brannigan and Denise Canaris,both sophomores,are two of the applicantsinvolvedwith the communityservicegroup. They said that theyplanto have a fooddrive,clothing drive, a "Meals on Wheels"- type of activity, and to visit musing homes aroundthe holidays. ''If we get this house," Brannigan said,"it will not only be an assetto the women in the house,but to the whole community."

She also addedthatthegroupcould accomplisha lot more together.

"Doingcommunityservicenotonly makes'the peoplefeel good,"Canaris said, "but you feel better about yourself."

Paul Monte, a first-year student, gave some ideas for the academic group's plan. These includedvarious activities such as afternoon tutoring sessionsandgroupdiscussionsforcertaintopics. ''We would also like to have possibletripstoeducationalplaces,suchas museumsandmemorials,"Montesaid.

There was no proposalsubmitted by the sportsgroup.

Onegroupdrew a proposalthathad a clause in the event a studentor students failed to participatein the contract.

If this were to happen, the student would thenbe evaluated.Ifthey failto go throughthe process,a meetingwill be neededforthe house. Then, if they fail, resident life would have to take highersanctions. ''Whatthey'redrawing,"Irwinsaid, "is a contractbetween them, the resident life and the community."

The special-interesthouse would also be requiredto have a faculty or staffmemberas an adviser.

The adviserwouldparticipatein the programsandgiveadviceto thegroup.

A resident~t for the house will be chosenby how well he or she cansupportthe programsgiven by the house and ifhe or shewouldbe ableto complimentthe housein tenns of putting programstogether.

The housewill have the same visitation and alcohol rules as the other house,unlessthe studentsrequestotherwise.Then,residentlifewouldnotbe able to impose. For example,the academic house will requestro-ed housingandextendedquiethoursif theyare grantedwith thehouse.Toe applicants wereexpectedtofindoutwho receives the house on April 5.

Take it all off!!!

Sojust becausesomeonechanges beforeyour eyes,do not letthatchangewhat you had. ' Celestehasbeenwithmeallofmylife. Some people tell me that I change when Celeste gets around.Of coursethosewho say it areat Cabrini and theirfirst impressionof me was withoutmy sister.All I sayto themis thatif thatis how I acted when she was here,then that is how I act. I have livedmy wholelifewith mysisterby my sideand now people are definingthis as different Not many people have someoneout there that was bornon thesamedayonlytwominutesapart,and from the same person. I am proud that I do.

And maybeI do actdifferentbecauseCeleste is my twin,my sister,my otherhalf,my laughter, my courageand my strength. If your best friend is thatfor you,thendonot letthatgo. I do notcare if your friendgets an earringin her nose or belly buttonor dyesherhairpurple,she is stillthatsame personwho was therefor you. Your best friend.

A few of my friends at Cabrinihave toldme aboutpeoplewho usedto be theirbest friends.At onetime,thatpersonusedto do thesamething.sas them,butnow theygo throughdifferentthin~. I always would say, "I don't know anyone that changedthatmuch." ThenI thinkaboutsomeone who has been there throughoutmy whole life, who is notso muchthesameas meanymore.The personI think of is my fraternal twin sister, Celeste,who I considerto be my best friend.

Sincewe wereyoung.CelesteandI havegone everywhereand have donejust abouteverything together. We dressed alike when we were younger. Of course,I used to be the chubbyone who smiledat theboys,andshewas theslimtwin who played with the boys, which seemed to be more fruitful thansmilingat them.

ThefirsttimeCelesteandI wereseparatedwas in the fourth grade, when she got accepted to computer school.

By thefourthgrade,we knewthatCelestewas the mild-temperedathlete and I was the raging · fighterwith an attitude.I wouldbeat up my own twin, but I was always there if someone was piclcingon her.

OP-ED

Wanna piece of bread?_Iadarola

Get it? The headline ... Try saying it with an Italian accent.

Now do you get it?

Sadly, that joke wouldn't work anywhere else but at Cabrini. And, the joke only works with the buildup, so here it is: I am graduating in 45 days and, in looking back at my Cabrini College career, there is really only one thing.that I have learned.

THE FOOD SUCKED!!!

So, with that in mind, I was trying to think of how Cabrini could serve better food.

Through my experiences with Seilers (oops, Sodexho), and the Wood Company, I have discovered that the basic problem is that the expectation far exceeds the actual product.

What a student may consider to be a delicacy, or an otherwise tasty dish, the food company seems to consider "Soylent Green."

And the "coozine" is subsequently served up with the enthusiasm of slop in the trough. But at least the Barney-clad employees are pleasant.

Anyway, an example of the inconsistency between the name and the apparent food is a typical dinner during the week. I have arrived at the cafeteria, attempted to read that filthy menu board, interpreted the orange lettering as "Pasta Primavera" and taken the plunge into the cafeteria on more than one occasion.

Perhaps we have more options with the meal exchange in the WigWam this year, but how many cheeseburgers and curly fries can one human being ingest before scurvy sets in? So for "variety," we eat in the cafeteria. And we force ourselves to eat the latest artistic rendering of "Pasta Primavera."

Thinking of all these things, I have come up with a solution.

Since Cabrini is small enough to base an NBC sitcom on, why

doesn't someone open a restaurant with a menu consisting of foods based on the names of faculty, staff and administrators?

EUREKA! It would work!

It really would. I mean, Cabrini students rate the faculty the highest in that damned survey of students that all of the administrators hide behind. It certainly would help the food service, which rates dead last in the same survey.

Students would certainly love dishes named after their favorite staff and faculty. I'm sure they'd even eat "administratively." And the WigWam would have more interesting and Cabrini-relevant names to work with than "Stack's Deli" and "Pete's Arena." Who the heck are Stack and Pete?

Finally, the problem of expectation versus presentation would be cleared up all in a name; we all know what to ex~ect from our faculty, staff and ~dministrators -- lots of spice.

So, dear Cabrini community, I propose (insert drum roll): TONI'S PLACE Catchy, ain't it?

I've even enclosed a menu and a look inside Toni's Place: Atmosphere: Imagine a small, I mean REALLY small, Italian restaurant that is only open by appointment, has lots of Russian artwork (but no Russian food), and can be seen popping up erratically on campus. That is Toni's Place.

On every table, there would be De Wilde flowers. All of the food would be served in (Waring) Chaffee dishes and all coffee would be poured from Caranfas. And every table would have DeFruscio fruit at them.

There would be the David Labe "Out to Lunch" special, Dr. Johnson's Happy Hour, and the overall service would be excellent.

When you leave, the waiter or waitress would hand you your Biller, service Servey, and usher

you out with a quick "bu-bye."

Breakfast For those education majors and other early-morning risers, ~ggs Barenbaum.

Appetizers and Side Dishes: Yummy a.nd satisfying salads, side dishes and munchies.

Chicken Q~ntanillas, Newman Salad, Lobster Briscoe, Broccoli and Caulfield, with cheese Melton over top, (Fr.) Ambrose Salad, Chips and Dale, Gardner Salad, Zurek Cheese Fondue, and Bean and Barclay Soup. Beware, the last two have been known to cause severe intestinal discomfort.

Coffee Chat ...

Rape and domestic violence have become important issues in our society. They are issues we are all aware of, but the emphasis has been placed on how it happens. How should women protect themselves against sexual harrasment and assault?

"I think if a woman looks tough, then a man will not bother her, " Katina Corrao, a junior, said.

Lunch: Affordable and fast sandwiches!

Peanut Butter and Jolyon, Club Craigie, Rubins and Heibergers to Order.

Dinners: Along with various other Metz, DeTurck-ey dinner with all the Gibb-lets, Lien Steak, medium-Rebe~ with Tomasco Sauce, Mollica Stew and Sutton(Skinner) fried Chicken. Of course, what's an Italian restaurant without Italian dishes? Pasta Primiano, Baked Zita, Jamattona, Lucche.si and Rondinis .. All Italian dishes would be served with Romano cheese, of course.

Desserts and Bevera~es: Baked Boeke, Chocolate Bon-Bonfiglios, Mayberry and Lennon Meringue Pies, McGuinness and Bud-zilowicz beers.

There you have it. Of course, this is a work in progress. But I'm sure the meals would be interesting and fun, if not always predictable. And I would much more enjoy "Pasta Primiano" than any concoction whipped up by a company named "Wood."

So the next time you're offered a piece of bread in the cafe, just say, "No thanks, Iadarofa!" And then laugh your way to the toilet.

"I just think a girl should watch out who. they're hanging out with andhowtheydress," BillBarilotti, a sophomore, said. " If they truly want to stop harassment, they should get consent. "

''I think that girls should try not to put themselves in that kind of position where they may be harassed, " Phil Matteo, a sophomore, said.

"I think women should not associate with men at all, " Elizabeth A. Brister, a sophomore, said.

"They should not be in their presence and just hang out with other women."

In issue 20, published March 17, 1995, in the article "Is graduare school for everyone?" Nancy's last name is Hutchison not Hutchinson. We regrer the error.

Securityshares a nighton duty

by Mary Burfete and Justin Mlrlg/lanl staff writers It's 11pm.on a Thursdaynightandallisquiet on campus. As security is preparing for a shift change,the studentsare preparingfor the biggest partynight of the week. The beer is chilling,the parties are planned and everyone is anticipating the excitementthe next few hours will bring.

Many studentsare under the false impression that the securitystaffis out to get them. However, the aspects of theirjob entail many other thing5 thanjustbustingupagoodtime. Theyareherefor the protection of the students and the campus grounds.

While they are working hard to make the college campussafer, there are still some problems.

"A few times I went to the securityofficenext to the mailboxes, and there was no one there. I thinkthat theschool securityshould have someone in that office at all times in case of an emergency,"said a sourcewho wishedto remain nameless.

'There was a incidentearlierthisyearwhere a familymemberwaslryingtocontactmeatschool," the sourcesaid. 'The persontrying to contactme gave my name, the class I was in and what clas&oomI was in. Securityasmi.red the member ofmyfamilythattheywouldgivemethemessage that she called. I never received the message. I think security should do a better job in locating people around the campus. Had this been an emergency,I would have nevergotten theword."

Not everyone on the campus is upset with security. One male studentsayshe is happy with security. He said that his mother was alone on campusat night and the securitypersonwho was on duty made sureshe made it to her car and out of the parking lot safely.

Fll'Styear studentsespeciallyrealiz.ethe value of a strong securitystaff.

'They are good people," said first-year student,KateTomasz.ewski'They areveryfriendly and always willing to help. They are very approachable."

As the llp.m.-to- 7a.m. shiftbegim, security officers Marsha Hayes and Bill Wagenmann become a team, one on foot patrol and one in the security van in order to cover the entire campus territory. They communicate with one another over their radios to inform each other of what is

goingon. Yetasthenightgoesonandthemoment of troublearises,they come.togetherto back each other up.

Throughouta night, it is theirresponsibilityto check each and every floor of each and every building.As Hayes is patrollingthecampusin the van, Wagenmann is using a Detex scanner to touchthescanpointsthataresetrandomlyoneach building to prove that they are doing their job.

Theseareplacedinsideandouttocheckandmake sure that the outsideof the building5are being patrolledas well as each floor of each building.

At 12:30 a.m., every necessary building, office, window and door has been locked. Every scan point has been carefully checked. All the while, the securityvan has been cruisingthrough areas that most studentsdo not even know exist.

For the security team, however, students do not seemto realiz.ethatby protectingthe safetyof the campus and the community,they are putting their own safety in jeopardy. Being alone in the middle of the night in the midst of studentswho mayhavehadalittletoomuch todrinkisnotsafe.

However,securitysaidthey feel that theirjob is importantto them and they take pride in what theydo. Therefore,theyarewilling to takecertain risks. These risks, however,only go so far.

Over the past semester, certain problems which have occurred between students and security have caused administration to take away security's use of good judgment when it comes to involving the Radnor police. They are no longer allowed to contact the police when they feel it is necessary. When something gets out of control, they need to get authority before they are pennitted to contact the police.

However,students are still under the impression that securityare theones who are constantly contactingthe police and gettingthe studentsinto trouble. Thisis not the case.

When the police arecalled to campusto bust a party,it is a directresultof an outsidecomplaint Securityisnotifiedbythepolicethattheygotacall and are on their way to campusto investigatethe situation. When the students see the police and securityarrivingat the scene, they automatically assume thatsecurity are the ones who brought them there.

In reality,however, they had no control over thesituation.

At 1 a.m.,thing5arestartingtolivenup. Parties are going on and the noise is being heard clearly from the street,yet there doesnot seemto be any problems. Everyone is having a good time and

Not yet.

A slow drive-by to stir things up lets the students know that security is aware of what is going on and gives the students the opportunity to keep thing5 quiet to avoid trouble.

These students are no strangers to what goes on, and by allowing them a few chances to quiet down is fair to all. Security, as well as the students, do not want to be bothered with the hassles of write-ups.

The cops enter the scene and begin to clear out all students who areunder-age. The cops then told the students if they did not give them any probl~ they were free to leave.

Phantom'smusicaldirectorfollowsdreams

by Regina Miller arts & entertainment editor

Don't think if you possess a lucrative, exciting position, you have guaranteed clout. Even the music director and conductor of the musical "Phantom of the Opera" needs to pay for his friends' tickets.

A man with a mission, who once possessed a childhood dream of quick fame and fortune, finds himself reaching the top of the ladder of success, but learned to pay his dues along the way.

Marc McKJaren, musical director of "Phantom of the Opera," appeared nonchalant and sounded humble in his speech.

Yet, McKJaren, dressed in tan khakis, denim shirt, green jacket and loafers, puts in large chunks of time directing and conducting numerous actors, musicians, technicians and singers.

McKlaren translates Sir Andrew's musical ideas into the actual production and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the musical performance.

McKJaren spoke at the English

and communications Career Development Seminar on Tuesday, April 4, in the Widener Center Lecture Hall.

McKJaren majored in English/ communications and graduated from Boston College. In his junior year, McKJaren decided to change direction and to follow up on a dream. He applied to Yale for graduate school in music and was turned down because he lacked a music degree. He was accepted to Boston University's music program and was able to make up the undergraduate music_ credits in this master's program.

Some ofMcKJaren's achievements inc'lude the musical director for Boston College's theater department between 1986-1990.

In 1990, he moved to New York and conducted at the Colombia University Village Theater Company and Manhattan Stage Ensemble. He wrote four songs for commission and wrote "Paulina" for Boston College Theater Company.

In 1992, McKJaren became assistant musical conductor for the

Gamelan mu.sicand dancersto perform

by Regina M/1/er arts & entertainment editor

Cabrini's cultural awareness week kicked off last Sunday with the dancers from Bali, but will not end with the play's ("Flowers for Algernon") closing curtain on Saturday night.

The cultural awareness week could easily be turned into a month with the coming of Gamelan Lake of the Silver Bear, on Thursday, April 20, at 8 p.m.

The Gamelan Lake of the Silver Bear is cine of the old-

est orchestras in the world, originating from what is now the Republic of Indonesia in Southeast Asia.

They will be performing traditional and contemporary Javanese, Balinese and American gamelan music.

Traditional dances will accompany most pieces.

Gamelan music is constructed in basically three layers of sound. Improvisation is an important aspect of this music.

The performance will be held in the Atrium. For more information call 902-8380.

"Phantom of the Opera" and was hired to the position of musical director six months ago.

Advice on career development paths came after McK.laren first stated his viewpoint of the arts.

"We don't support the arts like we should," McKlaren said, "and don't let anybody tell you that we do."

McKlaren put the stress on support of the National Endowment for the Arts because the organization was founded to fight off the economic pressures artists and creators feel from the media and society.

When an inquiring mind in the audience wanted to know how to go about changing people's minds regarding others narrow visions of the arts, McKlaren said one cannot force a person to change.

He recommended turning off the television, attending live performances, sending money to public broadcasting and seeking out interests in the arts.

"People sometimes open up by example," McKJaren said.

He said a low budget European film titled "Shirley Valen-

tine" awakened him at a time when it was most needed. He said he never was the same after seeing that film. He said he this was an example of how art can be beneficial in one's life. McK.laren talked about focusing on the moment instead of wasting a lot of time planning for the future.

"Students don't have to be concerned about what you are going to do," McKlaren said. "Worry about what your are doing now, and that is studying and reading the great minds and delve into things that need to be delved into."

McK.laren puts his job and his success in perspective. "You can do anything you want to do," he said to the approximate 100 audience members of students and faculty. "The world is open to you. You are studying language.

You are studying people. What life comes down to is people who you touch or people who have touched you. It can be one-onone or a whole community of people."

McKJaren stayed to talk to audience members individually and to sign autographs.

He has ingenious approaches to teaching writing and a willingness to take on newassignmenJs. He always gave much more than he got and gave things willingly." Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy "Carter's fantastic. The thing that impressed me so much about Carter happened some time ago. I was designing a course on American music. He gave me tons of notesfrom his courses.Here's all of this researchandhe was just giving it to me. I love his ability to make every person feel as though he or she is the most importantperson in the world. I've never known him to be negative." Dr. Adeline Bethany, chairpersonoffine arts department "I think thefaculty willmiss Carter as much as thestudents will,because,asmanyredbandannas as we buy,we'll never be able to replace him. He always asks the right questions." Cathy Yungmann, professorof communications "Carter's contribution to Cabrini studenJs,faculty and the community can't be done due credit in anecdotalquotes.

Taking one look at the beautiful white house in Paoli, you can tell it capturestheessenceofCarterCraigie, professorofEnglishand communications. Be.5idesthe mailbox with the bold, black capitallettersspellingout "Craigie,"thehousebasCarterCraigie written all over it.

The backyard is a picture-perfect, miniatureforest showingthe signs of Carter's work with nature, includinga man-made pond.

Inside,his dog, a Jack Russellterrier, named Zelda, stands ready to greet guests. Carter's interestin folklore and folk life is prevalent in the books that grace the bookshelves,as well as the Native American thunderbirdpicture thathangs on the wall Even when he is indoors, he won't let go of his love for the outdoors. His sunporch allows him to overlookhisgorgeousbackyard, even onthenightswhenitisalittletoochilly to sit outside.

The atmosphereis warm and welcoming. It holds a simple kind of beauty. It is not as stiff or perfectly organiz.edas one might imagine a professor's house to be. It radiates a kind of homey, lived-infeelinginjust the little things, like the pink Q.uck Taylor sneakers that lie on the den's floor and theStarTrekvideothatstill sitsby the VCR. Mostimportantly,though, are the people who share the house with Carter. Carter does not hold one job.

He holds threejobs. He is a professor, a husband and a father. Yet he intertwinesall threejobs and has not only been committedto his wife, but he has been committedto his job.

He has not only been a fatherto his 16-year-old daughter, Jenny, but he has been a fatherto his students. And he not only teaches in schoo~ but he teaches at home. · ''Everythinghe does at schoo~he doesathome," Jenny,aself-confident teen-ager,said.

Carter'swife,Kay,adown-to-earth woman, dressed casually in a big. oozy sweater and a pair of slacks, staresoutatthebackyardasshebegins to describe Carter's typicalday.

Zelda usually wakes them up around5:45 a.m. Dependingon what time Carter's first class is, they eat breakfast.When Cartercomeshome, they will eat dinner. His favorite dinner is meat loaf.

"H'e s a very down-to-earth person," Kay said. ''Nothing fancy."

And of course, Carter likes his dessert. His favoriteis chocolatechip cookies.

"Give himchocolatechip cookies, and he'll follow you anywhere,"Kay said.

After dinner, they watch "Jeopardy." Kay said Carter does "pretty good"when he calls out the answers from his comfortablecouch in Paoli Carter and Kay do notstay up late, though. "lneversawthe''Davidl..etterman Show" in my life,"Kay said.

Ontheweekends,Carteroftenstays home and does most of his work, according to Kay. But he doeshave many interests and activitiesoutside of college. ''He's gone back to an earlier interestin outdoor thing.5,like canoeing.birds and butterflies,"Kay

said.

He also collects stamps, and is referredto as ''KD3A0" when he participates in ham radio. His interestin ham radio has increased since he began in theearly 1980s. HeevengotbothKay and Jenny interestedin it.

"I got into it through jealousy of him," Kay said.

Carter and Kay met at theUniversity of Pennsylvaniain the late 1960s.

They both were studying folkloreand folk life.''We met at that time,and then went our separateways," Kay said.

Kay's mother also met Carter at a folkloreconference.

"She said, 'Oh! That's the nicest person,"' Kay said.

Accordingto Kay, Carter's parents have always been nice to her.

"But I thinkhisparents were sorry he wasn't marrying someone from Richmond (Virginia),and living in Richmondto come back and do the Richmond thing," Kay said.

But something brought the couple back together, and on Aug. 2, 1975, they were united in marriage. The reception was held on the mansion lawn, on the side that faces the tennis courts. As one might imagine, the receptionwasnotallthattypical.Itwas a picnic. ''We were poor and cheap. So we had a picnic for our wedding," Kay said. ''Everybody had a ball" Carter got the idea for the picnic receptionfrom writing his dissertation for his doctorate in folklore on the historical study of picnics in Otester County,Pa ''Itwasprettycool,"Kaysaid."Cool in one respect,but it was 115degrees."

But what really attractedKay to

Carter? ''I think it's the same thing that attractsmost peopleto him," Kay said. ''He's outgoing. friendly and funny.

He really seemsto careabout people.

He's enthusiasticabout everything."

After theywere married,they spent a lot of time traveling. They spent a month travelingthe Netherlands,Denmark, Sweden and Norway, even though they did not know the languages. Kayrecalledbeingsoproudof herself when she could read the billboards on the train at the end of the month.

Then on Oct. 2, 1978, Jenny was bom.''I don't think either one of us knewhowmuchbabiescry,"Kaysaid.

But theirtravelsdid notreacha dead end when Jenny was born. They took Jenny along with them. When Jenny was 5 years old, they spent a month in Great Britain. ''We found out she was a good traveJereven when some wild ponies decided her hairwas hay," Kay said.

They alsowent to Franceand Switz.erlandon the Cabrini alumni trip.

"Jenny had the bus driver absolutelywrappedaroundher~ger,"Kay said. "Carter taught her bow to charm some hard-noseFrench people."

From the time Jenny was born, Carterandhisdaughtersharedaspecial bond. ''They spend a lot of time together and enjoy each other's company a lot," Kay said. She recalledthe time when the three went camping.

Jenny was only about 1 year old. ''He was going on a hike," Kay said. ''He just stuck Pampers and a bottle in his backpackand took Jenny with him."

Jenny said they still go camping a lot. "He's just like a friend," she said. ''He doesn't act like a dad."

Carter Craigie According to Kay, she and Carter present two options to Jenny, and she shows a little ofboth.''I thinkshe's an interestingbalance of the two of us," Kay said. "She has more common sensethanher father. But she's not a 'fraidy cat like me."

The tone of Jenny's voice even seemsto liven up when talking about her dad She tells the story of their Bermuda trip this pastsummer. ''There were about 10 kids my age standingaround, andmy dad just goes up to them and says, 'Hey, let's play volleyball.' " Jenny said. ''Then he made everyone go around the circle and say their namesto introducethemselves."

Carter uses the same tacticsin his clas.woms and in almost any group settingto break the ice.''Hejust wants to seeeverybody have fun and have a good time," Jenny said.

She saidhe is not a very strictfather.

Until shegot her license, she did not evenhaveaaufew. Butnow,ifshehas the car,shehas to be in at 12 midnight.

"All my friends love him. He's friendswithallmyfriends,"Jennysaid. ''He treats them like his other kids."

Jenny said he is "reallycool" when she ~ guys to the house. ''He can talk to a doorknob, and it will talk bade," Jenny said. ''He alwaystalks to himfor hours. And when we leave,the guywillalways·say,'Oh,God. You're dadis so cool."'

Jenny admitsthatshe is likeher dad in many ways. They share the same sense of humor, as well as interests in both the outdoors and story telling.

Of course,there arethetimes when her parentswon't let herdo something.

"Sometimes we'll say Jenny can't dosomething,andshe'llsay, 'It'shard to stay mad at you guys because you make me laugh,'" Kay said.

According to Kay, Carter and she are two very differentpeople. But she said she really thinksoppositesattract. ''We laugh a lot Carter has a good senseof humor. He does outrageous things,"Kay said. ''I'm a smart mouth.

I'm constantlyblitheringaway, sometimes making Carter spit across his cereal at the breakfasttable."

After a minute of silence, Kay unfixes her eyes from the window and smiles to herself. Outof the blue, she says,"lguesstherewasatimewhenwe ditched the rosebush."

When they lived at theirold house, they both decided thatthey needed to remove a rosebushthat grewjust besidethe house. Theydidn'tknowwhat to do with it, but they knew the trash menwouldn'ttakeit Theycutitdown anyway. And then Cartergot an idea.

Afterthesunwentdown,thecouple draggedthebush andplacedit on top of

Kay said at that time, sqe was certaintheywere goingto prison,but now shecanlookbadrnnitandlaugb."That's the type of outrageous thing that he does thatI would never do," she said.

"But he can doit and getaway with it."

But what really makes their marriage of almost 20 years tick? ''It has to be somethingother than likingthe samething.5,"Kay said. ''Becausewe don't."

She saidthatCarteris notstuck into the mode of thinkingthatCabriniis his job and the house is her job. He helps out a lot aroundthe house. ''He's probably,absolutelythe least sexist person I've ever known," Kay said.

Even thoughshetravelsa lot on the weekends,shesaidCarterisnotjealous or paranoid.''It's just the way he is," Kay said. ''It's really a partnership."

When he retires,Kay said she feels Carterwilldevotealotofhistimetothe activities and hobbieshe could not pursuewith a career.

"Here is a person who can't even dissect a head of lettuce," she said, laughing. "And he's going to dissect frogs and stuff?"

Carterreallyhas not changedmuch since the day of his wedding. An old wedding photo clearly demonstrates the same man,with longer sideburns.

His head is held high as he smiles proudly upon his new bride. It's that same proud smile that he has today when he reads his daughter's wellwritten essay aloud to a group of 10 collegestudents. ''I don't think his appearance has really changed," Kay said. "We both had longer, browner hairthen and we were a few pounds lighter."

Beside being a husband and a father, Kay and Jenny both agree that Carter is a friend. In the same sense, beside being a professor and a coworker, most studentsand staffmembers also agreethatCarter is a friend.

That is why the legend teller himself has createdhis own legend at Cabrini.

Baseball Cavs meet owners with Cheyney forcedto trackteam fold

by Dave D/Matteo

by Dave D/Matteo

staff writer

staff writer

After 232 days of the longest labor dispute in sports history, one of the most beautiful sounds of spring is back. The crack of the bat hitting a baseball will be ringing through the spring air.

On Friday, March 31, Judge Sonia Sotomayor issued an injunction against the owners of the major league baseball teams.

Sotomayor issued the injunction because she felt the owners acted illegally on Feb. 6 when they changed the terms of the previous agreement between the players and owners before a new agreement or legal impasse was reached.

After the injunction was passed, the players' union gave an 'unconditional offer' to return to work. The ball was then in the owners' court, who could either lock the players out and begin the season with the replacement players or accept the players 'unconditional offer.'

• The owners accepted the offer, and major league baseball is back.

After being robbed of a total of 921 games, the 1994 league championship series and the 1994 World Series, baseball is no closer to a settlement then they were back on Aug. 12.

So here we are, the real spring training is back and so is a real opening day with real bigleagueplayersscheduledfor Wednesday,April 26.

If no settlementwas reached, then the question of who won and who lost has to be asked.

Nobody won. It is as simple as that. The players will be playing under a contract that expired on Dec. 31, 1993, the owners got nothing theywere looking for, and the fans will not have a full baseball season for the second year in a row.

With all of the recent developments,what is going to happen next? The players and the owners will meet and try to iron out some sort of agreement. The players can strike at any time, and each side is questioning whether there will be any serious bargaining for an agreementsince both sides are back. The owners are expected to declare a legal impasse, which would allow them to implementa salary cap or a luxury tax on team payrolls. If a settlement is not reached by the end of the season, the players could threaten to strike again in 1996 or 1997.

Since the playoffs were lost in '94 the fans should be reminded of the new playoff system that baseball implemented last year. The 1995 baseball seasonwill have three divisionsin the NationalandAmericanl.eagues, withthewinners of each divisionalong with a second-place team with the best record advancing to the playoffs.

The women's track and field team overshadowed the men's team on Saturday, April 1 at the Cheyney Invitational.

The women won first place despite the absences of first-year student Susan Edenbom and senior Melanie Bruno.

In only the second meet of the year, the men placed third behind a strong effort from first-year students Far' dNasir, James Williams and John Thomas, junior Shawn McAleer and senior Mike Tims.

The men's team also broke two school records.

The women's team had the best showing of the day with Michele Olsen, a junior, placing first in the 800 meter and the 1500-meter. "Everyone put in a 100 percent effort," Olsen said.

Heather Odium, a first-year student, won the 400-meter hurdles and also ran away with first hi.the 100-meter high hurdles.

First-year students Elizabeth Lang, Rowena Rutherford, Eboni Watkins and Odlum came away with a second place finish in the 4 by 100 meter.

"Despite the two injuries that took place during the relay, I think the women's 4 by 100 relay team worked really hard for the second-place finish," Rutherford said.

In the 4 by 400 meter relay, Lang, Rutherford, Watkins and Olsen took second place.

In other events, first-year student, Nicole Volikas won the 3K and placed third in the 1500-meter.

Rutherford was strong in the shot put, coming out with a second-place finish.

"I am satisfied with my second-place position in shot put, because this is only my second time competing in this event," Rutherford said. "Each time I compete, I hope to improve."

First-year student Tanisha Rufus raced to a second place finish in the 400-meter relay.

As for the men's team, they could not

catch up to the Cheyney University team who took first place in the meet.

The men's team showed they have the talent to challenge any team on the track.

Nasir, Williams, McAleer and Tims set the first of four new school records to be made on the day in the 4 by 100 meter relay.

"We missed qualification for the Penn Relays by only one second," McAleer said. "We will definitely have the time for qualification by next week at Trenton State."

Williams said he agrees with McAleer that the team will be able to qualify for the Pei'm Relays by the next meet.

McAleer broke the second school record of the day with his time in the 400meter relay. McAleer placed fifth in the event.

Williams and Nasir placed second and third in the triple jump.

In the longjump, Nasir beat out everyone, including teammate Williams, and leaped his way to a first-place finish.

Williams set his first of two school records that he set in the long jump.

Williams placed second in the long jump and forth in the 100-meter dash and javelin.

"I was looking forward to racing against Cheyney, since I just transferred from there," Wi1liams said. "I wanted to do really well. I think we're going to do · really well in the Penn Relays and the PAC. We should win it."

Tims and Thomas represented the team in the shot put and the discus. Tims placed third in the shot put-and fourth in the discus. Thomas came in second place in the shot put and fifth in the discus.

"I think we're really coming along," Thomas said. "I have confidence that both the men's and women's team are going to do well in the PAC, if not win it.

I don't see anyone on our team finishing lower than fifth in any event."

M~Aleer said feels the new team is working well together. "We are really starting to come together as a team," McAleer said. "We' re making progress."

She did, however, say that a further appeal would be considered if filed within one week.

Seles was stabbed by Gunter Parche, 41, in Hamburg. The reason Parche stabbed Seles was because he said he could not stand the fact that Seles had knocked Stefanie Graf from the number-one position.

Cavs fall to Dickinson,6-19

by Mary Burfete staff writer The men's lacrosse team is not off to a very good start. They lost their fifth out of six games they have played so far this season on Saturday, April 1, against Dickinson.

The offense started off strong in the first quarter, but they fell behind Dickinson and the final score was Cabrini, 9, · Dickinson, 16.

Sophomore Dan Lorenz led the scoring with three goals. Sophomore Dave Regn had two goals and three assists. Attack man Regn, the season's leading scorer, has a total of 11 goals and six assists so far this season.

"Even though the season hasn't been great," said sophomore goalie Kevin Camp, "we hope to turn it around this Saturday with a win against Ursinus."

The main problem the Cavs have been experiencing this season is that they have not been working well together as. a team.

"We need to come together," midfielder Mike Friel, a first-year student, said. "We are a bunch of individuals right now. And our ground balls and penalties are atrocious."

"Penalties always kill us," defense Eric Brazinski, a first-y~ar student, said.

Coach Randy Mills said he agrees.

"We are not playing together asa team," he said.

The lack of team participation is a result of classes interfering with practice times.

"It would be nice if the whole team could participate with practices," MiJls said. "You need to practice together to perform together. You can't put on a play without the main cast being at rehearsals.

It's the same for us."

Mills said he hopes that with the help of Dr. Beverly Bryde, coordinator of secondary education, these dilemmas will change for all of the departments in the future. He said he feels that it affects all the departments, not just sports.

Not only are they not playing together as a team, they also have many players who have been injured.

Injuries and the lack of teamwork are causing players not to be able to play, and for some, they are coming off their injuries and onto the field. As a result, they are not able to perform to the best of their abilities. · With eight games left, Mills said he hopes that the team will be in better shape and will start working together.

"In all fairness to the players, however, the team is very young this year," Mills said. "We have seven freshman."

The team hopes to win this Saturday

pholo by Stacey Caiazzo

Cavs start out strong against Dickinson, but fail to continue the win. They lost the game, making this their fifth loss. against Ursinus in order to break their 1-5 record.

However, Mills' hopes for the remainder of the season is to get his young team to begin working together so they can be ready for next year.

As for the remaining games, the team

hopes to hang in there ·and improve all of the aspects they need in order to have a winning season in the future.

For Mills, he said he needs to ·feel optimistic for the future. As for this season however, he said, "At least we'll show up."

Tennistakes a few losses

by Stephanie Caldwell assistant sportseditor

The men's tennis team is labeled with an overall record of 2-5.

The Cavs lost to Wesley College of Dover, Del., on Wednesday, March 29, at home.

They were rained-out at Beaver College on Thursday, March 30, at Beaver.

The Cavs then traveled to Marywood College on Sunday, April 2, in which they lost, 6-3.

According to Coach Reggie Day, the match could have went either way.

"I'm not unhappy with this loss," Day said. "Our inexperience showed, but even with this inexperience, we played well."

Leading the Cavs in the number-one spot is sophomore Dan Dotsey. Right behind him at the number-two spot is first-year student Alex Corkhill.

Together in doubles, Corkhill and Dotsey are impressive at 6-1 overall and are 2-0 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference.

Dotsey is 4-3 in singles and Corkhill is 5-2.

"Dan and Alex have had some big wins and tough losses," Day said.

According to Day, senior Frank Petrane and junior Wally Fiore are also a solid doubles team. The duo are 4-2 overall and 1-0 in the PAC. Day also said that first-year student Bill Myers has improved since the beginning of the season.

Coach Day is looking forward to Saturday, April 8, when he and both the men's and women's teams travel to Hilton Head Island, S.C. At Hilton Head, the men will play five tough matches in six days. Day said he feels the Cavs can only improve their game from this experience because of the level of play and the intensity at Hilton Head.

Well over 100 teams at Hilton Head supply good competition. There are not only matches, but pick-up games and practices with better players that can improve the Cav's play.

"After we come back from Hilton Head we play much better," Day said.

According to Day, this year it is anybody's conference.

The Cavs are strong up top, but do not have much depth. They could also use a few more players.

The men are only carrying six players this season.

"We are doing as well as I think we can," Day said. "Our inexperience is balanced out a Jot by enthusiasm and our desire to win."

"We should do OK this season," Dotsey said. "But most guys are just out to have fun now."

Day also spoke about leadership when he talked about his team. He said Dotsey and ·corkhill show leadership with experience and Petrane shows leadership with age.

"There's a lot of maturity on this team," Day said .. "When they get knocked-down, they get right back up.

These guys come off the court knowing they improved."

According to Corkhill, the season is going better than expected.

The Cavs said they hope it keeps getting better and that they will find themselves in a PAC championship situation by the end of the season.

"Our goal is to win the PAC championship," Petrane said.

"We'll see if the team can take the pressure of the PAC championship," Corkhill said.

To Day, the keys to victory seem simple.

"We just have to make sure we play our best," Day said. "To just keep trying is the key to winning."
