According to Paul Weaver, admissionscounselor,the loss of both individuals will leave a gap. Both men have brought a presence to the college by attendingnumerouscollege functions. They are easily accessible and always have a deep concern for the students. Their level of concern goes beyond the office. It travels into the entire campus. Dorsey,who bas been a member of the campusministrystaff for one year and a member of the resident life staff for three years,will also be leaving. According to Dorsey, be is unsure of where the next road in his life will take him. But he is sure it will be a challenge, something that he looks forward to. Dorsey stated that the reason he has chosen to leave Cabrini is because ofa change in the status of his job with the admissionsoffice. He said he feelsas thoughhe has grown out of bis job. "He will be greatly missed," first-year student Paul Kleschick said. A farewellto both will take place at the Hat-n-Tie party on Friday, May 6, in the Grace Hall Atrium. flips for Writer/poetdeliverscommen~ement ling ~~~~~siil!iiiji;iip~e~e~c~ to gra ua 1ngclass photo by MirellaAdessl

by Andrea Kelliher staff writer After four years of service to the Cabrini community, the Rev. Ambrose Cashman, campus chaplain, and ~cott Dorsey, coordinator of multi-cultural programs, are leaving Cabrini. "I'm doing it on time," Cashman joked. "I'm graduating in four years." Cashman and Dorsey will be moving on to lend their services to others, beyond the Cabrini horizon. The announcement of Cashman's and Dorsey's departure has left many students in shock. They questionedthe fate of campus ministry. "I was shocked when I heard they were leaving, " junior DJ Glasgow said. "I'm going into my senior year without anyone I know up there. I'm going to miss them a lot." After recoveringfrom the shock, these students realized that campus ministry will have a new look for next year.

According to Cashman, having two full-time people in the office will allow students more of an opportunity to work with them and see them at any time. Student development will choose two new staff members. Campus ministry will exist. But it will just have different faces. So why the change and why are they both leaving? The answer is simple. Cashman has been asked by his order of priests, the Congregation of Passionastes, to move to St. Joseph's Monastery Parish in Baltimore. At St. Joseph's, Cashman will be serving as the pastor of this urban, culturally diverse parish. For four years Cashman has helped carry on many differentprograms that are a part of Campus Ministry. Some of them include Project Appalachia,CareWalk and Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week. They have alsotried to break down religious barriers by holding nondenominationalprayerservices. He is there for the students and can be found helping them in and out of the spectrum of his role in campus ministry.

The annual Spring Fling/Sibling Weekend was a great success this past weekend. Over 250 students and siblings participated in the activities which included the band, Jane Doe. Although the Spring Fling/Sibling Weekend was a success, many students were not pleased with the trash left behind. Thanks to physical plant's hard work, the trash was cleaned up by Open House on Sunday. After waiting for nearly a year, the '93- '94 yearbooks are finally here. Once again, this year several students sacrificed their time to introduce prospective students to our campus. The services of our tour guides are greatly appreciated.

Walking into the campus ministry office, a sign greets the visitor. The words on it, spoken by John F. Kennedy, describe the time for leadership in the 1960s. "It is time for a new generation to cope with new problems and new opportunities. For there is a new world to be won." But as we approach the end of the school year, we recognize the relation of Kennedy's words, spoken over three decades ago, to our own college's leadership in the 1990s. The loss of any leader can bring about a feeling of fear, confusion and anticipation for what lies ahead. We, as a community, recognize not only the loss of great leaders such as the Rev. Ambrose Cashman, Scott Dorsey, Dr. Carter Craigie and a number of graduating seniors, but we also recognize the need for an emergence of new leaders. These people must be able to take with them the example of past leaders while incorporating their own individual talents and style. But still, many people are· left wondering who will replace these diverse people who have made their own individual contributions to our community. Some are fearful that the character of our school is in danger. What we must realize is, yes, many of our mentors are moving onto future endeavors, but they are leaving their messages and examples behind. It is up to us to pick up where they left off. This is the only way we will be able to let go of such role models and still maintain the degree of leadership this campus has come to represent.

The news depicts society as being satisfied with the status quo. There are people who no longer strive to make this country better. Instead they are intentionally destroying it. This is evident by the recent Oklahoma City bombing by a fellow American. John F. Kennedy is famous for the phrase "don't ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." This is a concept that our increasingly dependent society should take to heart. In order to contribute to a great country, one must make himself/herself great first. Despite what many people be-· lieve, this opportunity still exists today in the United States, and it is available to everyone. Cabrini is responsible for _helping to keep this dream alive by instilling in its students the drive to succeed and achieve a college education. I am still and always will be a firm believer of the American dream, but this is not to say that at some low points in my life the faith did not fade. It is just now, at the end of my junior year, that I am starting to see that ha_rd work really does pay off. I realize now that I am not just finishing this year with a decent GPA, but with a wealth of knowledge, experience and sense of accomplishment. I look back over the last three years of my life and I cannot believe the person I have become. Just like the concept of the American dream, I have been working hard and now I am reaping the rewards. Everything is coming together in my academic life which is preparing me for the future that lies ahead. I have secured a summer a_ndfall co-op and received a scholarship toward next year. This just gives me a glimpse of how hard work pays off. My aunt always told me that someday I would be something great, and I am finally starting to believe her. I guess the words of wisdom I would like to offer in my last viewpoint as editor in chief are never give up on your dreams. Regardless of the background you came from, if you want something bad enough, you can achieve it. Sometimes, no most of the time, achievement requires going that extra mile, staying up an extra hour studying for that test, or giving up a great paying job for one that offers more experience. Although sacrifices are necessary in the beginning, the end product will far outweigh any-thing you had to give up for your accomplishment. America was founded on something great, a dream of a better life, let's continue to strive for that, not only for the sake of our country, but for ourselves.

Kelly McDonald, editor in chief As the chapter in my life as a member _ofLoquitur closes, I am walking away with a great deal of experience as well as friendships. I do not look at this as an ending, but a beginning, opening the door to the land of opportunity. When I think of my accomplishments, I can't help but wonder how I managed to keep the American dream alive compared to so many others in our society who have let it die. Years ago people came to this country with nothing, but were not discouraged. They looked west and saw the land of opportunity that was in front of them. These people did not expect things to be handed to them, but on the other hand, the newcomers worked their fingers to the bone to acquire property and wealth. They did this not only for themselves, but for their children and future generations. Striving to overcome difficulties and constantly facing adversity left society with a knowledge of the hard knocks. I always laughed when my grandmother told me she used to walk three miles to school, in the freezing snow, up a hill, with no shoes or socks. But the truth is she did it, and so did a lot of other people. Today, we may laugh at these stories, but if our society, as a majority, had only half of the ambition and determination that past generations had, we might not be faced with issues such as welfare, high unemployment, and crime.

Amy Gallagher, senior I cannot believe that my days at Cabrini college are numbered. The countdown has begun. 100 nights, 50 nights, the Spring formal/Senior dinner, Senior Week, Baccalaureate, and finally, graduation. As I look back, it is hard to believe that I was once a naive high school graduate attending my first Cabrini event-orientation. Orientation, probably the scariest moment of my life. There I was with a hundred some people I did not know trying to tell them everything about my life in two days. Talk about intimidating! I think I learned more ice breakers in those two days then I ever knew existed. Who was to know that several of those few hubdred some people at orientation would be my best friends and would actually WANT to know everything about my life. After conquering orientation, I moved on to my first real hurdle at Cabrinifreshmen class elections. I was trying to get involved by running for freshmen class president. I was trying to make new friends, make a difference, and what happened? I lost! This was the first time I probably realized I had friends at Cabrini because they consoled me, told me to run again, and made me feel good about myself. The next year I ran again and for the past three years have been an active member of SGA. This just goes to show you that with a little support and a lot of tissues, you can overcome anything. Since that time, I have met several people through my leadership experiences that I feel have become an essential part of my life. This past August, I participated in leadership camp. This was one of the best weeks I have spent at Cabrini. Not only did I get to know my friends even better, but I met new people who have since become my friends. Leadership camp gave me the opportunity to bond with the friends with whom I would spend my last year at Cabrini. Now, here I am today about to venture into the "real" world. Looking back on my time at Cabrini, all the activities, the classes, late night study sessions, late night talks, tears and laughter-one word comes to mind-FRIENDSHIP. In all the events or activities I have been involved with, the result of each was a new friendship. When I look back, the people who have been the biggest part of my college career, who have helped me to grow, who have overcome life's hurdles with me and shared in my joys, are my friends. They have not only been there to help me learn about myself, but to teach me about others, to find the joy in knowing you've held someone's hand and made a difference in their lives. When I look back on the past four years spent with my friends, I cannot help but laugh. Laugh at all we have been through together. I can definitely say college has been a roller coaster filled with its ups and downs. I have experienced some of the most serious of problems to some of the funniest events. All this is due to my friends. They have taught me what life is really all about. It is not about what you wear, who you like, who likes you, it's about what kind of person you are on the inside. It's about the difference you make in other people's lives. About a month ago, I would have said I was ready to graduate. My time at Cabrini was ready to come to an end. Then, I realized that graduating meant parting from my friends. All the late ni ht talks artie t"mes when I needed a shoulder to cry on, times when I needed a good laugh were all coming to an end. All the times I've needed someone to lean on and all the times I've been the one to lean on-are they over? My guess is that they are not, that all these people who have shared intimate secrets with me, trusted me, and loved me will forever be a part of my life. When I look back at my years here at Cabrini, it will be with a circle of friends with whom I have created unforgettable m.emories. So to the entire senior class, especially, Jen, Jill, Megan, Kristin, Margie, Meredith, Meghan, Jenne and Caroline, thanks for the late night talks, parties, shoulder to cry on, and a laugh when I needed one. Thanks to everyone who has in some way touched my life and helped in creating an unforgettable memory. center ;µ 1-8p.m.
As far as the position offirstyear student adviser goes, Sabot said she was absolutely floored when Dr. Jerome Zurek, chair of the English and communication department, approached her with yet another opportunity.
New SGA executive board looks to the future by Laura Testa news editor The 1995-96 Student Government Association leaders have been elected to take Cabrini to new heights. On Friday, April 28, the new board received notice of their positions. The president is sophomore Andrea Kelliher and the vice president is first-year student Melissa Scornavacca. The programming chair is sophomore John Lindsay and the academic chair is sophomore Edie Lamberti. The position of corresponding secretary belongs to Maura Wiswall, a junior, and the recording secretary is Lisa Mininno, a first-year student. First-year student Andrew Burke is the treasurer. Kelliher began by setting up a meeting with Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, college president. It is written in the newly finished SGA constitution that the president of SGA is to meet with the president of the college at least photo by Tom McKee ThenewSGAexecutiveboard. Top,leftto right,are JohnUndsay,EdieLamberti,andMauraWISKa/1. Bottom,leftto right,areAndreaKelliher,MelissaScomavacca,UsaMininno.AndrewBurkeis notpictured. once a month. Also, the executive board has already set up a meeting with the senior staff members of the president's cabinet before the end of this school year. "The SGA executive board is hard at work to reactivate student government," Andrea Kelliher, president of SGA, said. "Students have a voice. They can make a difference," Kelliher said. "Next year's major goal is to show students their voice."
"I love dealing with students and talking to them," Sabot said. "To do it as an adviser is a fantastic opportunity." Sabot said she believes that there can never be a replacement for Craigie. "The man is one-of-a-kind," Sabot said. "He is amazing and irreplaceable. If I can do half of what he has done, I will feel successful."
Newcomersaccept challengeof fillingCraigie's shoes by Beth Molloy op-ed editor He wants somebody with soul. He wants somebody who is able to "tap into the core of your being to become reflective." He wants somebody who will be able to "look for the best in what students do, and then is also able to point out what they can do to improve." He wants somebody who is exciting and is able to excite others about the joy of discovering yourself. He wants somebody who cares and is not afraid to hug. The hug part gave it away, huh? These qualities fit the person who Dr. Carter Craigie, professor of English and communications, wants to fill the position of writing instructor. The person filling this position is one of the three people taking over the responsibilities of the legend who has decided to give himself a rest. Craigie said when he first decided to retire, everything was fine. But in the past couple months, the 25-year veteran of Cabrini has not been sleeping well. "Some little voice somewhere is telling me I'm making a mistake," Craigie said. That little voice tells him he can put in a few more years. That same little voice tells him he needs a break. And that is what he has decided to dotake a break. So, now, who will be given the enormous challenge of filling Craigie's shoes? Not just one person, but three people will be taking over Crargie's responsibilities. The key words are "taking over." The consensus seems to be that Craigie can never be replaced.
Sabot graduated from Rowan College in New Jersey this past summer with a degree in communication and liberal arts. During her time there, she was heavily involved in the radio station and was manager of the station in her last year. She was told about the position here at Cabrini by Bud Mellon, the former communication center supervisor, who also taught Sabot a few classes at Rowan. She also found out about the job from her station manager, Frank Hogan, who is also an instructor in advanced radio here at Cabrini. Sabot said she loves Cabrini, the students and the setting. She said that since she is young, she can relate to students. She said she sees her job as being a fantastic opportunity for her.
Scornavacca took on her first responsibilities with the class elections. Election results will be announced Friday, May 5. According to Lindsay, SGA plans to become a visible governing body that will be able to be approached by aJJ students. "I hope that we, the executive board, will stand out for students and encourage more student involvement," Lindsay added. "I plan to get a lot of student involvement in all the activities and programs on campus." One of corresponding and recording secretaries' responsibilities will be to publish a monthly newsletter updating the school on all SGA events and accomplishments. "I would like to see the executive board stand as a model for the student body," Mininno said. "I hope the students appreciate and use the services of the executive board." A new feature of the SGA structure is the incorporation of the old Student Academic Council. This was done so that students would be represented on issues such as programming and academics. Lamberti's role includes running the academic board and being an active member of the executive board. The entire board is planning for a productive and exciting school year.
Sabot has been meeting with Craigie and has been sitting in on some of his classes to study how he interacts with students and how he deals with their problems and concerns. Craigie said that he feels very positive about Sabot. "She's great. She's confident, caring and funny," Craigie said. "This job will give her more ways to connect with the school." As for Craigie's photography classes, Don Dempsey, assistant professor in the English and communication and the fine arts departments, will be fulfilling this position. Dempsey began teaching here this past September. Formerly, he taught graphic design in the Mowhawk Valley Community College in Utica, N.Y. for six years. He was also a public designer at the college before he actually started teaching the graphic design class. IbqH:y said he fee l s CO m f o rt a b l e taking o v e r Oaigie's photography classes since he got the chance to team-teach with him for the past two semesters. Through this experience, he said he got the chance to observe how Craigie presents things to students and also what he expects from students. He said he also learned how Craigie handles the class critiques in the classes. "He's never made it hard for me," Dempsey said. " He's made it anything but hard. He made it easy for me to feel at photo by CarolineCroley Dr. Carter Craigie and Sheri Sabot discuss the future of freshman English/communicationsadvising with co-facilitators John Undsay and Allyson Hannigan. home and comfortable." Craigie said he thinks Dempsey wilJ do an excellent job. "I wish I could just shut up in class, so I can let Don shine," Craigie said. The third position, that of assistant professor of English and writing, has not yet been filled. According to Zurek, the position will be filled by early June. Beginning in May, people will be flown in for interviews. The new instructor will teach eight writing courses per year including English 100, English 101 and Seminar 100. The new position will be a resource for the entire college community, in order to place greater emphasis on writing in all courses. The person will be expected to increase writing in all the departments. Twelve resumes have already been received and advertising has not even begun yet. The committee that chooses the new professor consists of a variety of professors. Craigie will be assisting in the decision as well. According to Zurek, this is a national search. As for Craigie, he seems to be looking forward to having his nights and weekends free. He said he is looking forward to canoeing without worrying about prepping for his classes for the next day. Craigie also plans to take a biology and a Spanish course in the fall. As for his biology plans, Craigie said he simply wants to see how things live. "I want to know what is under the water when I'm canoeing," Craigie said. He said he has also taken an interest in ecology. Craigie said he hopes to use the Spanish he learns on his ham radio. But even Craigie can be a little irresponsible. "I'm gonna cut a few classes next year too, " Craigie said.

photo by Stacey Cs/azzo Senior Doug Eppler and juniors Katina Corrao and Michael Lorenz , all actors from the playwriting class, put some finishing touches on their performances.
Spotlight shines on new playwrights by Richard Schepis staff writer Have you ever wondered, when an idea for a book or movie went through your head, that maybe this is the same way Stephen Speilbergor GeorgeLucas startedout? Imagine sitting inside Lucas' mind wlfen he created the world of "Star Wars" or when Speilberg created ''The Adventures of Indiana Jones." Tiris is exaeffy wn11f'Ne11t'Newman,-theater director, is hoping to tap into with his Acting in New Plays and Writing for Theater classes. In an unusual fashion, the final exam will be a featured evening of the student's plays at the Red Cloud Coffee House. New Playwrights' Night on Thursday, May 4, will display the works of first-year students Bill Myers and Tom McKee,sophomores Paul Marturanoand Bill Maloney,and junior Nina Marie Sciarrotta. "The original play night is a journey for the actors, for the writers and the audience," Newman said that the night will let them see what connects. The night is essentially the final exam for the course. But for the students, it means much more. Newman said a play can look like a winner on paper, but nobody will ever know until the actors do it. Newman said this is how the night origin~ted last year. "The writers wanted to know how their work '¥as," Newman said. "Last year was the first time." Newman said the class is always having a new script thrown out to them. They are charged with keeping it alive. "A baptism of fire for the actors," Newman said. Newman said it does not work the other way. He said the writer can not know that a script does not have a chance. "This night provides a different kind of challenge for the actors," Newman said. "I am proud of our record of world l'\r@.ffUp.re_ nf C:.PVPn nr ioht -1"'9&u1 ;.,, +t---. last five years (by the Cabrini College theater department)," Newman said. The playwrighting class said they agreed with the concept of the evening. Junior Michael Lorenz, one of the actors in the class, said he always needs the feedback of an audience. "Instead of actors who are thinking critically, it will be people who are in the theater because they want to have a good time," Lorenz said. "I think they will be entertained," Lorenz said. Senior Doug Eppler said he believes this kind of night encourages the campus to stay in Cabrini's theater. "It shows people they can be playwrights and actors," Eppler said. "The real advantage of the course lies in the fact that both the playwrights and the actors get an almost exclusive look at the other side of the process," he said. Newman said he will be looking for five new people to join his 'soiree' next spring. He said he encourages everyone to come out for it. Who knows, maybe you could be the next George Lucas, "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away."
Movie ''Diaries" is based on Review the1978autobiographyofneobeatpoet,Jim Carroll.

the welcome wagon by Jamie Latshaw copy editor You never get a second chance to make a first impression. First-year students arrive for summer orientation expecting to experience the first two days of their college careers. If the experience is positive, the students will arrive in the fall with incredible motivation and an already formed love of Cabrini. The first impression of the upperclassmen is vital to the unity of the college. A select group of 19 students volunteered to relay the sense of community, for which Cabrini is known, to the first-year students. The orientation counselors emit the feeling of pride, shared by Cabrini students, to their soon-to-be-peers and neighbors. These two days are spent adopting new members into the Cabrini family. After surviving an extensive interview process, 10 new O.C.'s have been selected to welcome the first-year students. Sophomores Marie Augustino and Stephanie Casinelliwillbejoiningtheretumingsophomore O.C. staff. Also joining the sophomore staff will be first-year students Phyllis Cohen, Jeannette Guzman, Allyson Hannigan, Phillip Matteo, Thomas McKee, Lisa Mininno, Richard Schepis and Beth Stanbach. Junior Kelly McDonald holds the orientation coordinator position. As the orientation coordinator, she will be a support system for the O.C.'s. After assisting in conducting the interviews for the new 0.C.'s, McDonald has begun to revise the schedule for orientation. She threw out the less successful activities and has been searching for new projects that will help the first-year students with the transition, as well as teach them about college life. "It was not that long ago that I was in their shoes," McDonald said. "And I remember how important the O.C. staff was in my initial judgment." "I want to share my experiences with incoming classes to ease the change from high school to college," Stanbach said. ''I'm really excited to work with the staff." These new O.C. 's all share similar anticipations about their new leadership positions. These students know Cabrini is a good school and they want to make sure the new students see these aspects too. McKee is looking forward to helping the first-year students form a good first impression of the school. "I'm looking forward to the experience," McKee said. "It may be a sacrifice, but it will be worth while."

DeWilde paves roadfor informationhighway by Joe Marturano staff writer Barbara De Wilde, a woman instrumental in getting Cabrini College on the "information highway," has resigned. During the last four years, faculty members and Cabrini students have been increasing the use of technology in their course work. • The Cabrini Internet connection, the new on-line technology of the Holy Spirit Library, the expansion of CD-ROM's for research and the use of multiple media will all help to put Cabrini students at the cutting edge of educational technology. So, why did the woman who was responsible for the integration of this technology leave? "There are two sides to why Barbara left," Gerald Satlow, assistant professor of computer information science, said. "The first side is she was offered a better job that will pay her more money." When DeWilde was here, she was responsible for the management of the computer lab in Sacred Heart Hall. She set up computer seminars and workshops for both students and faculty. She maintained the lab equipment and kept everything in running order. She was also responsible for the training of the computer-lab workers. "The other side," Satlow said, "was that she was very frustrated. She wasn't able to accomplish everything she wanted to here." De Wilde was able to get Cabrini on the Internet, but not on our own Internet node. As of now, the college is on the Internet, but must pay rent to stay on it. There are also many restrictions. If Cabrini was its own host on its own Internet node, the college would not have to pay to stay on it. True, it would have to pay to run it, but that would be it. Information could be transferred all over campus. The campus community could set the Internet up to suit its own needs. They can not do that with the Internet access that the college has now. According to Satlow, De Wilde was frustrated because she had difficulty using the grant money provided by The National Science Foundation for constructing a network on campus. Although she did not accomplish everything she wanted to, De Wilde had a big impact on the students of Cabrini. Junior Mary Nelson was one of DeWilde's lab assistants. "She's a very caring and dedicated person," Nelson said. "She put a lot of heart and soul into the computer lab for the sake of the students." Nelson once had a personal problem, and De Wilde helped her through the tough time. "She's definitely a very open-minded person," Nelson sajd. "If you had a problem, she would take the time out of her photo by Mane Bamltt Barbara De Wilde works with lab manager Jen Peacock, a sophomore, and lab assistant John Mack, a first-year student, in the computer lab for one of the last times. busy schedule to listen to you." Nelson said she worked with De Wilde very closely and was sorry to see her go. "She was definitely a very good friend," Nelson said. DeWilde was also very close with the other lab assistants first-year students: Ed Mack, John Mack, Michelle Savage, Kelly Scott and Ted Smith, and sophomores: Marie Barrett, Edie Lamberti, Joe Morris, Remo Patitucci and Heather Yosko. She was also very close with the lab managers Jennifer Peacock, a sophomore, and Eric Tidwell, a junior. She also worked with first-year students Ingo Zitzmann and Joe Chow, and senior Chris McCann. "They are all great," DeWilde said. "And they were all very easy to work with. I was always pleased with the students." DeWilde accomplished many things here. She took the computer lab to the state-of-the-art level it is now at. She also upgraded software and worked with faculty in using technology in their courses. DeWilde said she thinks the most important thing s_heaccomplished was creating a structure in which students could become lab assistants and learn about computers in the process. "Cabrini needs someone to install a fiber-optic backbone in the college," DeWilde said, "and that is not my expertise." "The college is at a turning point. It is ready to move in a new direction," she added, rather emotionally. "I felt this was the time to leave."
TomMcKee "We're their next big impression," Schepis said. "It's important to show them they are not alone at college. You know someone. You have a friend." "I gave them an honest interpretation of the school," returning 0.C. and sophomore Rob Marish said. "Some people candycoat the truth." Of course, there is personal satisfaction in being an O.C. "The food's always better," Marish added.

by Kathy S. Cephas co-arts & entertainment editor Cabrini's softball team ended the season on a positive note with a win against Philadelphia College of Textile and Science. "There is nothing left to say," coach Jim Hedtke said. "We talked about having this game be our springboard for next season. Play as hard and as smart as you can. This is no emotional spiel. There is nothing left to say. So what's the word for today, ladies?" asked Hedtke. "Win!" said the Lady Cavs softball team. And that is just what they did when the team crushed Philadelphia College of Textile and Science, 4-2, on Wednesday, April 26, in their last game of the season. Before the game, Hedtke gave senior pitcher Jennifer Wunsch and junior catcher Heather Hoffman yellow roses because this would be their last ,game as Lady Cavs. Hedtke compared the two players to the flowers, "like roses coming to bloom." Frank Hoffman, Heather's father, sat on the. bleachers and looked on his daughter with pride. "She's been playing for 12 years," F rank said. "I don't know what she's going to do," he said. "It's her heart she'll be back," he said. It was a great day for softball. Good weather with just a hint of breeze served as a winning combination, drawing about 30 Cabrini students and faculty to the softball field; but the Lady Cavs were ready to annihilate. Although Textile was the first to score, Wunsch churned out tight fastballs Stephanie Slater, a sophomore, smacked a double and stole third base to let Wunsch score. Sophomore Denise Canaris ripped one out, letting Slater score and making the score 2-1 at the bottom of the second inning. In the bottom of third inning, nursing a sore left shoulder, sophomore Melissa Hunsberger stepped up to the plate and whipped up a triple, bringing the score to 4-1. In spite of all the action, the sun went down and the sky got dark. Then Dr. Carter Craigie, professor of English and communications, arrived. "Robbery!" Craigie cried when a hit was caught. Craigie's unique humor soon brought the sun back out, peppering up the crowd with his enthusiastic cries. Although in the top of the seventh, Textile's Darlene Hilderbrand hit a double and scored the team's second run, they were no match for Lady· Cavs. Craigie summed it up best when he said, "Man, they whupped this game."
"How far they will go is questionab le," first-year student Kathryn Huemmer said. "There are teams more dominating than the Flyers are. All the other teams have to do is hold down the first line and they will more than likely beat the Flyers."
Flyersend playoffdrought by Justin Mlrlg/lanl co-sports editor Here we go again. That is what Flyers fans thought at the beginning of this season. After missing the playoffs for the last five seasons, this season looked like it would finish with the Flyers' quest for the Stanley Cup halted before it even began. The five year streak of missing the playoffs is currently the longest in the National Hockey League. The Flyers clunked off to their, by now, usual slow start. After back-to-back, shut-out· losses to lowly expansion teams, the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers, the playoffs seem out of the question, let alone a division title. Then came the February trade that would turn the whole franchise around. The Flyers sent their leading point scorer for the last three season, Mark Recchi, to Montreal. In return, the Flyers received three players: John LeClair, Eric Desjardins and Gilbert Dionne. At first, there were mixed emotions about the trade. It seemed as though the Canadiens got the better of the trade. Suddenly, a new team emerged. The Flyers started winning games and soon were approaching that once unattainable .500 mark. LeClair teamed up with team captain Eric Lindros and left winger Mikael Renberg to form the "Legion of Doom" line. Since the line was created, all three players have surged to the top 10 in league scoring. Lindros has been on the top of that list all season. Lindros could become the Flyers' first Art Ross trophy winner as the league's leading scorer. A Hart Trophy as league MVP is also a very good possibility for Lindros. A once-suspect defense was suddenly solidified by this season's probable executive of the year and Flyers' General Manager Bob Clarke. On defense, besides Desjardiens, Clarke added Petr Svoboda, Karl Dykhuis and Kevin Haller through trades. Clarke also brought up Chris Therien from the farm team in Hershey to go along with Dimitri Yushkevich and Rob Zettler who were on the team last year. Clarke also added size and depth on the forward lines with key acquisitions, such as center Craig MacTavish, winger Shawn Antoski and winger Anatoli Semenov. Clarke has also kept a somewhat solid second line in tact with Rod Brind' Amour, Brent Fedyk and Kevin Dineen. As for goaltending, Clarke decided to trade Tommy Soderstrom to the New York Islanders to reacquire Ron Hextall. Then rookie Hextall led the Flyers to the Stanley Cup finals in 1987, when he won the Conn Symthe trophy as playoff MVP. Clarke is hoping Hextall will be the man to get the Flyers back to the finals. With Dominic Roussel as a back-up, the Flyers goaltending tandem looks at least adequate. Not only did the Flyers reach the .500 mark, they have also been able to stay on top of the Atlantic Division. There is even talk of a possible Stanley Cup this season. However, there are still some boles in the team's Stanley Cup puzzle. They lack strong scoring punch on the second line and have almost nonexistent scoring punch on the third line. Despite the problems, Flyers' fans and hockey fans in general seem impressed by the Flyers' play this season. "I think they will probably go to the second round and lose," first-year student Billy Myers said. "They have to find another line that can score, other than the Lindros line, if they want to go anywhere in the playoffs." "I think they will lose to the Quebec Nordiques in seven games in the conference finals," first-year student John DiCarlo said. DiCarlo also said, "Scoring shouldn't be a problem, but I think they can only go as far as Hextall can take them. Quebec's scorers like Joe Sakic and Owen Nolan might be too much for He:xtall to handle. I don't think there is any team that can shut out the Lindros line. If Hextall can continue to play well, then who knows? Maybe they will have a shot at the Cup." "After five years of being a true Flyers fan, I never lost faith in their ability to make it to the playoffs," first-year student Stacy Caiazzo said. "I think they can win it all if they stick together as a team."

"The Flyers are a hard working team who have got it together," sophomore Jay Emery said. "They've got the players and they are going to be around for a long time. Oh yeah!" While many are willing to give the Flyers credit for turning it around this season, some are still reluctant. "They are getting lucky right now, but luck usually runs out," first-year student Bill Matoney said. "The Penguins will defeat the stinking Flyers, if they even make it to the second round. Bring 'em on."
Personal opinions aside, the Flyers had a remarkable turn around this year, by winning the Atlantic Division title. It was the first in the team's history, and their first division title in eight years. The team's goals at the beginning of the year have gone from just making the playoffs to possibly winning the Stanley Cup. The team's nucleus is very young and should only get better in coming seasons. Flyers' fever is definitely starting to sweep through Philadelphia again. Who knows? It might culminate with a trip down Broad Street with the Flyers holding the Stanley Cup. Only time will tell.
