Deadline for Sacred Heart renovations

'·

approaching

by Dave Jurkiewicz staff writer

Caution. Do not cross!

These words have been the main indicator of the year of improvements at Cabrini. The improvements so far have been surface changes such as new bathroom stalls and freshly painted ramps, but renovations proposed for summer 1997 will bring the educational and technical atmosphere of Sacred Heart Hall into the next millennium.

Renovations will be performed in several stages. Planning for the first stage is currently being finalized. On Oct. 14, Entech, the architecture and engineering firm involved in the project. will evaluate the final plans for renovation and begin the bidding process.

The renovatioaaare still tentative. On Oct. 14, Entech will quote a price to the school. That will be the major deciding factor in the extent of the renovations.

If the proposed changes are too expensive, some will have to be altered or eliminated. The contract will then be signed at the end of October. Subcontractors for the construction will be hired in January. The final drawings for the renovations will be finished by February.

Top-of-the-line technology made its debut on campus in the

SPARCs a flyin'

Widener center lecture hall and Sacred Heart Hall room 208 in the form of the "smart classroom." These rooms use <;:omputer, internet and various audio-visual technology controlled through a computerized podium in the front of the room. This makes the use of A-V equipment more convenient and effective for both faculty and students.

One part of the first phase of renovation will turn every classroom into a "smart classroom."

A small area around each doorway will be extended to make room for the audio-visual equipment cabinet. Each room will have a computerized podium. a projection screen, a hanging projector and blackboards or whiteboards. In addition. all desks and chairs will rest on top of new carpets.

Climate control is another proposed aspect of the first phase. Sacred Heart Hall is used for classes year round. However, only a few rooms have air-conditioners. The airconditioners are so loud that most faculty members shut them. off in order to be heard during class. Also, many of the windows are damaged.

The renovation plans include an new windows for Sacred Heart Hall. These windows will be sealed to maximize the climate control. Air-conditioning units will be installed in insulated cabinets in every hall-

story on p.2. way; each classroom will have an air-conditioner. The insulated cabinets will reduce the noise produced by the units.

In addition, a new science lab will be added to Sacred Heart Hall.

One complication in the planning process is the new boiler for Sacred Heart.

The construction on Sacred Heart will take approximately 14 weeks. The boiler will take approximately 22 weeks to

build and install. This makes time very precious to those planning the renovations as well as the construction company.

There are other proposals which will be considered after phase one is complete. For instance, none of the biology or chemistry Jabs are being renovated.

There is a possibility that a new .science and education wing will be constructed next to

Sacred Heart Hall where the greenhouse presently is. Also, a garden may be built behind Sacred Heart between the building and the parking lot. Those proposals are extremely tentative and will not even be consid~red until the present project is complete. The renovations will only be performed during the summer months and will not interfere with spring 1997 or fall 1997 classes.

Cassinelliand Lorenz crowned queen and king

by Jason Jungreis staff writer

As the music played and the spectators looked on, seniors Pan Lorenz and Stephanie Cassineli were crowned homecoming king and queen.

This year's homecoming dance was put on by Kappa Sigma Omega and was held on Saturday, Sept. 28. The event started at 8 p.m. as the homecoming court joined their families and friends for a pre-paid meal at the Valley Forge Sheraton.

The male homecoming court included seniors John Lindsay, Dan Lorenz, Justin Mirigliani, Joe Marturano and Dennis Fahner and the female court included seniors Stephanie Miller, Sis Slater, Melissa

Hunsburger, Stephanie Cassineli and Jen Weiderwax.

Although there was not much -tension within the room before the winner was announced, there was a lot of talk about it during the week. Many of the nominees were campaigning profusely in the popular gathering areas around campus.

As the day ended on Thursday the men's race was very tight. Mirigliani was in the lead with Marturano and Lorenz right behind him. But as the day ended on Friday, all of the votes were in and the winners were quite clear.

The fact that only two people on the homecoming court were selected didn't keep the other nominees from having a good time.

"It would have been nice to

win, but I'm not that upset because they're my friends, and I'm happy for them," Lindsay said.

"I think that it's great that Steph won," Slater said. "She definitely deserves it, and I'm really not bothered by losing at all."

Lorenz and Cassineli were very happy about being crowned king and queen.

"I'm really happy," Cassineli said. "I think that anyone of us could have won, and I think that everybody who got chosen should have."

This year's homecoming event was not as successful as recent years had been. There was a serious lack of student interest this year. The attendance estimate for Saturday night's event was 160 people.

College dignitaries dig into SPARC ceremony

by Ron D'Orazlo staff writer

The ground-breaking ceremony for Cabrini's new sports and recreation complex took place on Sept. 29, 1996, the final day of Family Weekend. Approximately 100 people made their way to the site, located next to the Edith Dixon Athletic Field, to watch and listen as leaders of the Cabrini College community spoke about the time, effort, and money put into the building of the complex.

With the sports-theme balloons blowing in the light breeze and the sun trying to show itself in the sky, the crowd listened to seven speakers who spoke about the complex from under a blue and white tent. John DiMucci, campus minister started off the

ceremony with a short prayer service.

After the service, Robert D' Anjolell, chairperson of the board of trustees, gave a short speech and acknowledged the people involved with the project.

The microphone was then handed to Tom Nerney, president of the college's Booster Club and graduate of the class of 1977. Nerney, being a fonner basketball player and the college's first 1000 point scorer, said the complex was just a dream back in the seventies and he is glad it is a reality now.

Student Government President Andrew Burke was next to address the crowd. Burke, a student-athlete himself, said the complex will give the college a greater advantage in recruiting student-athletes.

Campaign '96

Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, president of the college, was then introduced and spoke about the complex and thanked those involved.

Iadarola said the complex would include a basketball court, a dance floor, a fitness room, a trainers' room, lockers and a human perfonnance room where sports science majors can accomplish some of their studies.

Iadarola thanked all those who contributed financially to the complex, especially the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Christ, who donated $1 million dollars to the project, and Edith and Fitz Eugene Dixon who have donated another $1.5 million to the $6.8 million dollar price tag of the complex. The facility will be dedicated to the Dixons at its opening.

Edith Dixon, a member of the board of trustees, spoke about the accomplishments of the college and the honors she was given by the college, including the athletic field in her name and the Dixon House.

Her husband, Fitz, spoke next and talked about his involvement in the project.

"The complex is very exciting and will finally be a reality," Fitz Dixon said.

As for the completion of the complex, ladarOia said it should take 13 to 15 months before it can be opened to the public.

The school needs one more permission grant from the township, which should be decided on in about three weeks.

Iadarola wants the construction of the complex to comply with all of the township's environmental regulations.

Counselor King invites students to 'come in for a check-up'

by Diane Grimaldi staff writer

D.id you ever wake in the morning and feel like your whole world is falling apart?

Did you ever just need someone to talk to about a problem that your friends could not help you with?

Where should you go if you have ever felt this way?

One place to go would be the counseling department in the Rooyman's Center.

"It's associated with mental health. It's okay to be sick physically, but it is less okay to be sick mentally," King said. "Anxiety or depression are just as real as a laceration or a broken bone."

"Counseling is like going to the dentist," King said. "You go twice a year, get your teeth clean. If you have a cavity, you get it filled. With mental health it's the same. Come in if things aren't going right with a boyfriend or girlfriend or even with mom or dad. Come in for a check up."

"College is a place of transition," Andy King, new director of counsel- A ndY King

ing said. "Most people come from a family and they are entering a community where support is not there right away."

The counseling center helps students by providing a level of support that peers are not able to give.

"There is a stigma that prevents students from going to counseling," King said.

King, who grew up in Charleston, SC, attended Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn. He claims that his college was very similar to Cabrini in its size.

King said that it is "exciting to be part of the process that moves people from the lip of adulthood to being an adult."

It is very important to King that students not be intimidated. The counseling staff is friendly

• President Clinton's health care bill, The "Health Security Act," contains a federal "abortion mandate" that if approved would cause the greatest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade.

• In 1993, Clinton approved counseling for women who want abortions. Clinics would counsel every pregnant woman and girl under 18 years of age, justifying abortion as a "pregnancy management option" or birth control.

• He vetoed a bill outlawing the use of partial birth abortions.

• In response to Clinton's veto of a bill to outlaw partialbirth abortions, Dole told a convention of the Christian Coalition that if elected, he would sign a bill banning the procedure.

• Dole and fellow Republicans are determined to "chip away" at the Roe v. Wade decision.

• Dole has a long Senate record of voting against liberalized abortion.

• He is concerned that the GOP's anti-abortion policies might tum people away from the party.

• In an interview with the Kansas City Star, Dole said on the issue of abortion that "there isn't any middle ground and you can't get up and make some fuzzy answer."

WHO IS WINNINGTHIS THINGANYWAY?

With the election less than a month away, everyday has become critical. This tracking poll, according to a USA Today/CNN/Gallup nationwide poll of 768 registered voters deemed likely to vote shows Bill Clinton leading Bob Dole by 22 percentage points, an increase of 12 points in just 13 days.

Even though Perot received 19 percent of the vote in 1992 the commission said that he is not a winning candidate since he is now receiving only three or four percent in many opinion polls.

Hip hop unity stems from_Shakur death

by Gavin Mlr,.glianl staff writer

Territorial barriers were broken when the death of gangster rapper Tupac Shakur's called for the unification of two rival gangs. Enemies walked shoulder to shoulder to pay last respects to a fallen artist.

Shakur, being a West Coast • gangster rapper, had confronted the East Coast rapper Biggie Smalls for his attack last year. Shakur had claimed that Biggie Smalls .had shot him in 1994 and stole $40,000 worth of jewelry. The two groups had been feuding for months after Shakur made the accusation in one of his CDs.

Feelings about the death of Shakur and the steps taken by the Nation of Islam were being expressed throughout campus.

Tracey Howard art exhibit ,. inHSL

by Andrea Koch staff writer

As you climb to the second floor of Holy Spirit Library you are surrounded by two gigantic art pieces. A tall, thin woman dressed in a cream t-shirt and long black skirt with sandals casually greets you. With her brown hair pulled back in a bun, her outgoing, happy, almost bubbly personality gives you a warm presence.

If you were at the opening reception of Tracey Howard's art display on Sunday, Sept. 29, you would have experienced some of the above. However, if you missed it, you missed a totally new art experience.

"I've never seen painting on top of photography before," senior Stephanie Miller, a studio art major, said. With the oil and crayon paints, it was interesting to Miller.

To begin, Howard takes the negative of a photo, reconstructs it in a larger collage on a huge board and begins to paint. Her goa] is to combine paint with photography. With an old painting technique, called encaustic, Howard mixes wax with dried pigment.

This wax build-up quickly fonns an "active surface." Howard melts the wax on a griddle and adds color with a brush. As soon as the wax leaves the griddle, it begins to coo] so she must know where Qn the canvas to put it right a~y, Howard said.

In some of the smaller art pieces, employing a technique called gouache, Howard uses opaque water colors over photos. In the two large pieces, an array of colors with a mystic figure in the background can be seen.

The Tracey Howard art exhtbit will run through Nov. 3.

Pearl Jam: soaking wet and soakin' it up in NYC

by DanielleMurray staff writer

Pearl Jam fans gathered together on Sept. 28, as they rocked the stage of Downing Stadium, and put on an incredible show.

Pearl Jam opened up with their hit song "Animal" from their second CD titled "Vs."

Pearl Jam played in Downing Stadium, located on Randall's Island in New York.

Fans ranging from 1260 years of age were tossed up above the crowds, as they surfed across the slamming mosh pit.

Vedder even had to stop one of his songs, ''Whip It" from the band's third CD, because a young girl was getting hurt in the mosh pit. When it started to rain, the mosh pit became a place of hell. Young girls and boys were tossed out like dolls. The rain however, didn't stop the fans from dancing and singing with Pearl Jam. Mud was every where, but the crowd never complained or left.

Ben Harper and the Fastbacks opened up for Pearl Jam, however the crowd was there for Pearl Jam and they could care les.sabout the other bands.

The rain was beating down on the fans during the most familiar

Concert Review

songs like "Daughter," "Black" and "Jeremy," which created a rhythmic-like chant throughout the stadium.

Pearl Jam consists of five band members, Eddie Vedder (vocals and guitar), Mike Mccready (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass), Stone Gossard (guitar and vocals) and Jack Irons (drums).

Vedder's personality and love was expressed to his fans throughout his performance as he thanked them for putting up with the rain. Vedder spoke through his heart. He told the fans that he has heard that people meet through his music because his music becomes a common ground between people. This in tum makes friends and each and everyone of us are friends with our neighbor, Vedder said. This put a good vibe in the air and calmed down the mosh pit for a second.

During the concert there was a guest show of Blues Traveler singer and harmonica player, John Popper. The crowd went crazy as Popper played the harmonica with Pearl Jam in the hit song titled "Even Flow."

Pearl Jam played for two hours. Most of their songs were from their first three CDs, "Ten," "Vs" and "Vitalogy." Most of the older fans

who have been listening to Pearl Jam for many years sang along with Vedder in songs like ''Black," "Alive," "Dissident" and "Daughter."

There was also an overwhelming response from the crowd when Pearl Jam played songs titled "Who are you?" and "Red Mosquito" from their new CD, "No Code."

There are not many rock bands that put on a great show. This is different for Pearl Jam. They sounded better live then they do on CD.

Pearl Jam is on tour visiting Seattle, Buffalo, Toledo, Columbia, Augusta, New York, Hartford, Charlotte, Charleston and Miami. They played in New York on Saturday and were scheduled to play again at Downing Stadium on Sunday night for a second performance.

Pearl Jam's last song, "Indifference," was breathtaking. The entire stadium lit up and when they were finished, the crowd started chanting "Eddie" as if he was a football player.

PERSPECTIVES

Friday, October 4, 1996

The editorials, viewpoints and opinions published in Loquitur are t!;te views of the student editorial staff and the individual writers, not the entire student body or the faculty and administration.

EDITORIAL What a waste

He seemed to have it all, the fame, t~e fortune, the ladies and two booming CTl!eers.The man achieved everything that today's urban youth dream about.

Tupac Shakur could have further pursued the :g:msical career that made him famous or an acting career which was ready to explode.

So what was it that made him feel incomplete?

What did he have to prove?

Who was he trying to impress?

The missing pieces to this puzzle are elusive. There are no clear answers, only speculation, to help clarify the motivation of Shakur's nonchalant attitude toward life and death.

Rapper Kool Moe Dee said Shakur's downfall was his. entourage.

The point being made by Kool Moe Dee, was that Shakur 's friends influenced his decision making prowess in a negative way. ''You are a product of the company you keep," he said.

This is possibly the best insight as to why this youthful millionaire saw it necessary to stick with the ''thug" lifestyle.

Shakur, like most gangsta rappers claim to be rapping about ''what they see, or what they grew up around." Despite the claims, the question needs to be posed, was Tupac expressing his reality or was he exploiting it?

Society as a whole does not expect the actor to live out the various roles he might play. Sylvester Stallone never feels the need to be a real-life Rambo.Why then must the gangsta rapper, an entertainer just the same as the actor, live the "thug life?" So as not to be considered a sellout?

Sellout this and sellout that. It is all a matter of upholding that hard guy image that goes hand and hand with growing up in the ghetto.

Some people are able to break away from the notion and others are overwhelmed by it.

Let us consider Tupac a casualty of urban decay. R.I.P.

Loquitur is established as a forum for student expression and as a voice in the uninhibited, robust, free and open discussion of issues.

Through the eyes of an older brother

by Jim Martin sportseditor

My life changed four years ago.

I was a senior in high school when my little sister Rosemary was born. Since I am the oldest of nine children, the first couple weeks after Rosemary was born seemed pretty nonnal. We had the usual number of people corning over to visit every day and everything seemed to be going fine with Rosemary.

However, that did not end up being the case.

My mom felt there was something wrong with Rosemary a couple weeks after she was born. She took Rosemary to the doctor, and her fears were confirmed.

After tests, Rosemary was found to have cataract and gleycoma in both of her eyes.

At first, my family and I were optimistic Rosemary would keep her vision because of the many surgeries she would undergo.

I remember in the first two years, it seemed as if she was having a different surgery every week.

By the age of two, her two beautiful blue eyes had turned into one, as she completely lost vision in her right eye. The doctors fought desperately to keep her vision in her left eye and Rosemary was still able to see pretty well until she became three.

However, at-that time, the doctors detennined there was nothing more they could do to keep the vision in her left eye.

When I left for school last year, Rosemary was still able to see pretty well. However, when I came home for Christmas break, there was a noticeable change.· Instead of watching her Barney tapes from the sofa, she now had to stand six inches away from the TV to see it' Rosemary's vision continued to diminish and about six months ago she lost all vision. The doctors say they think she can still see shadows but they are not sure of it.

This summer was very hard. It killed me when Rosemary would ask me whether it was night or day. I would go to 7-11 with her to buy her candy and she would sit there and ask me what kinds of candy she was touching with her hands and what color they were. I bad to read her books with braille because she could not see the 1Y.

When I was in grade school and even high school, I could remember hearing jokes about blind people, handicapped people and people with other abnormalities. I can also remember being at places like the mall with friends and laughing when a person with a handicap passed us by.

At the time, I thought nothing of it when these things would happen. I can honestly say I never told any jokes or made any imitations of handicapped people when I was younger, but I can remember laughing at my friends' jokes.

The laughing stops when it hits home.

I do not think people realize what it is like to have a handicap

by Jim Martin spot1seditor

unless they have one or unless they live with someone who bas one.

I bate it when people stare at me and Rosemary when I take her to a store and show her around. People should think the next time they laugh or stare at a handicapped person when they walk by. They should realize they are lucky to be able to lead a healthy, nonnal life.

Some·people aren't as lucky as others. Handicapped people did nothing wrong to make them the way they are. It could have just as easily been one of us that ended up with a handicap.

So the next time you see a handicapped person, think about it. How would you feel if you bad a handicap? How would you feel to have someone laugh at you because of it?

Rosemary is now four and a half years old and in her second year at Overbrook School for the Blind. She does not feel sony for herself and she is still the talkative, playful child that she has always been.

My family and I realize the chances of Rosemary regaining her vision are slim to none. However, that does not stop me from praying to God every night as I have for the past four and a half years that she will be all right.

So the next time you see a handicapped person say a prayer for them and realize how lucky you are to be able to lead a nonnal life.

How come I pay, but do not get to play?

On Friday afternoon, when I received my paycheck, the envelope was marked with a message that read: ''Important Informl\t"ion enclosed. Open immediately." I opened the envelope and pulled out a very important reminder about the upcoming election and the importance of being registered to vote. As I read the flyer, I could not help but feel saddened. I cannot vote in this election.

J remember the last time that I exercised my right to participate in a presidential election. I was a junior in college in Mexico City and the country was looking for a new leader. President De La Madrid was completing his last year as ruler of the country and we were looking for someone to balance the economy, stabilize the national debt and provide a safe environment for all. We did not have.many choices and we were aware that it was going to be very difficult to change the system, but we knew that we had to cast our vote to let our voices be. heard. Carlos Salinas de Gortari had been hand-picked by the ruling party to be the next president. Everyone knew that he

would win the election, but we, felt that we could do something on a smaller scale. I voted for change. I am very proud to say that, when the votes were counted in our district, , for the very first time, the opposing party had won the majority seats in Congress. I made history. Salinas. de Gortari did become president, but he had to work with a different House of Representatives and Senate.

I have not been able to participate in an election since.

Contrary to popular beliefsHollywood style, even though I am married to an America citizen, it does not grant me automatic citizenship to the United States. I have to wait for five years after I am granted permanent residency to apply to become a naturalized citizen.

I have been weighing the pros and cons of changing my citizenship and right now, one of the most influential forces in my decision making process may be the politics in the United States. I am a legal resident, however I do not have the same rights that a • citizen does. Every April I must pay taxes for the state and for the

federal government, but I don't have a voice on bow those taxes are spent.

I see the struggles of the school system and would like to be actively involved in the changes in the legislation regarding education, but I don't have a voice. I would like to have better environmental laws, but I don't have a voice. I am a law abiding "pennanent resident" who does not have the opportunity to vote and unlike the election in Mexico City, this time I cannot help with the change. However, there are many people who have this incredible power to vote, to make history, to make a difference for the bettennent of this country: all the citizens. Remember that you have a voice in this election. You cannot see change unless you participate in it. As you are walking through your everyday life, remember that the rights and privileges that you now enjoy were voted for at one point or another in your history. Until I can personally cast my vote again, do me a favor, register and vote. Let your voice for democracy be bearcl.

Lady Cavs fall to Rowan, 2-0

by Dina M. Tartaglia staff writer ·

quite evident that the game was more than friendly competition.

by Jim Martin sports editor

The Eagles have been in this position before.

After losing 23-17 to the Dallas Cowboys at the Vet on Monday night, and losing starting quarterback Rodney Peete for the rest of the year due to a knee injury, some Eagles fans might thin'k: the season is over.

It is not

The Eagles were in the same predicament last year. They started off the season 1-3, before Peete replaced Randall Cunningham as thestarting quarterback.

From that _ point on, Eagles coach Ray Rhodes got all he could out of his team to lead them to a 106 record and a first round playoff victory over the Detroit Lions.

Rhodes will not allow his team to become a sinking ship just because their starting quarterback is gone.

Rhodes will "get can out of Ty Detmer and inspire his team to play even harder to make up for 'Peete's absence.

Rodney Peete was a _ good quarterback, not a great one. It's not as if we are losing Brett Farve.

Peete provided great leadership for the Eagles, but he was not the main reason behind their success.

--,ToeEagles will survive) the loss of Peete. Their running game will have to get even better and their defense, will have to tum it up a notch.

Ty Detmer CaJDeto the Eagles because he wanted a shot- at becoming a starting quarterback.

Now he will get the chance that· he has been waifing for.

The Eagles will not be counting on irim to be the main part- of the offense. They will only be looking for him to complement the running game.

Rhodes is one of the best and most fierce competitors in the league.

He alone will keep the Eagles afloat.

Rhodes led the Eagles to the playoffs, last year even though they were not as talented as-other teams.

He will move on without Peete and ol).ce again lead the Eagles to the playoffs.

So, calm down Eagles fans, it's not going to be as bad as you might think.

Frustration and animosity filled the field when Michele McGowan, a fonner Lady Cav, led Rowan Co1lege to '7ictory by a score of 2-0 at Cabrini on Saturday, Sept. 28. This game brought their second loss of the season.

The Lady Cavs awaited the day to face, off against Rowan College. 'nieir remembrance of last year's loss .empowered the Cavs to aim for vi.ctory.

The hostility between the two teams stemmed from the Cav's loss last .year and the knowledge that McGowan would.be back on the Cabrini field.

Even though there was tension between McGowan and the Lady Cavs, junior Cara Santelli said, "It was weird seeing her in another uniform, but we just saw her as another player."

The tension was quite evident among all the players when th,e pushing and rough housing between the two teams be.came _ unbearable.

"This game was more of a game out to get people than to win," senio.r, Nancy Kraus, cocaptain of the Lady Cavs, said. "This year the whole team was out to get us. Last year it was a dirty game, but this year it was twice as bad."

With the ejection of a Rowan player in the fast half, it was

The pushing and shoving continued in the second half, resulting in two more ejections. _ One was ·a Rowan player and the other was first-year student Jen Reichert. Reichert will now sit out the game against Swarthmore Co1lege.

Regardless of who started the fight, the Cavs now lose another essential player to a red card. In soccer a- yeUow card signifies a warning. Two yellow cards equal a red card, which means an ejection.

According to senior Stephanie Caldwell! co-capt<\inof the Cavs and half-back, the ref was quick in giving cards early in the game.

However, toward the end of the second half, fouls were being made-left and right, but the ref did not call them.

Even though Rowan started off by dominating the field, t)le Cavs stepped up a level and gained dominance of the ball.

"We outplayed them for the majority of the game," Santelli said.

Despite the team's attempts and the aggressive plays from senior Denise Canaris, and firstyear student Meghan Myers, the Cavs were not able to score.

The loss of three key players due to injuries, plus the ejection, had a great effect on the Lady Cav's efforts to score.

Kraus sat on the sidelines due

First-year

her.to a sprained ankle. First-year student Erin Barney, one of the lead scorers on the team, did not play because of a sprained knee.

Santelli came out in the first half ••due to a pinched nerve in her leg.

Kraus said she believed that if injured players had played, the Cavs would have at least scored. Caldwell said that the team as a whole played very aggressive and she was happy with the performance.

Santelli thought the team played a lot better than they have been, even though they did not win.

Caldwell also said the team plays their hardest no matter who the competition is. Infact, losing this game will make the team play better.

"This Loss was a growing experience," Caldwell said. ,

Even though Caldwell is concerned with - Kraus' injury, she does not believe that her absence will determine the upcoming games.

However, Barney said that the loss of four players will definitely have an effect on games to come, especially the PAC games. Barney hopes to come back in their PAC game against Allentown College.

The Lady Cavs will be playing two PAC games against Misericordia College and Allentown College.

Caldwell said the team needs to concentrate on the upcoming PAC games and get over the Rowan game.

Lady, Cavs gain a split in their tri-match

by KirstenYard staff writer

Ri~ing a rollercoaster of wins and losses is a perfect way to descnbe the women's volleyball team this season.

The Lady Cavs split their trimatch against Rowan College and-_ Wilson College on Sept. 28, with a 3-0 victory over Wilson and a 3-1 loss to Rowan. The split leaves the Lady Cavs at 7-7 ou the season and looking for answers.

In a season where Coach Jim Harrigan had been replacingconsistency, the Lady Cavs still seen:i_to be searching for the·key ingredi{rilts. Harrigan has used sev~ral dilfererit_ starting line-ups •and 'has saf key· players for almost whole games.

"They played well against Rowan," Harrigan said. "If they would have played just a little bit better, a little more consistent, we would still be playing the match right now.

"We had a chance to win it, but we didn't take advantage of the_ opportunities that were there," Harrigan said.

The Lady Cavs showed their desire atld determination by dispatching Wilson College easily in three sets. Barely breaking a sweat, they won their sets by the scores 158, 15-0 and 15-4.

There was outstanding team work in the first set between senior . co-captain Daw~ Johnson and junior co-captain Colleen Adair who both served excellently.

The second .and third set· wins

were no surprise to the fans. In the third set, the first year students had a chance to play and got off to an 84 lead. The Lady Cavs then reeled off seven straight games to close out the victory by winning the final set, 15-4.

However, after winning the first set in the Rowan contest, the Cavs plunged into the deep end and were outmatched in Rowan's 3-1 victory by scores of 15-9 in the second set, 15-6 in the third and 15-13 in the fourth set.

The Cavs started the first set in a 4-0 hole early on, but were saved by sophomore Bridget Egan who brought the score up to 5-5. The whole team came together to win the set.

Being tied at 7-7 in the second set was a motivator for the Cavs, but their efforts were too 1atewhen Rowan took the game over and won.

In the third set, the Cavs were down 7-3 and played catch-up the entire match before losing.

The Lady Cavs stormed ahead to a 12-4 lead behind the efforts of Johnson, Egan and sophomore Cynthia Macedo, but reality hit when Rowan won by a score of 1513.

Despite increased fan support during the Rowan contest and Harrigan's continued line-up shuffling,-the Lady Cavs still could not find the correct chemistry and the ball rolled p-itoRowan's court one too many times.

Prior to the contest, Egan expressedher disbelief at the team's

recent misfortunes.

"We played our hearts out, but we just can't seem to win. We should be winning for the way that we are playing, but for some reason it's just not happening," Egan said

After their loss against Rowan, disappointed teammates •offered their comments.

"We played really good," said senior co-captain Maria Lattanzio. "Tough break, I guess."

NHL drops puck on another season

Can Lindros finally lead the Flyers to the Cup? Will Gretzky be a hit in the Big Apple? Will the Red Wings choke once again? These are just some of the many questions that will be answered during the season.

by Kevin Scott staff writer

OK hockey fans, the beginning of another NHL season is just hours away. So let's run through each of the 26 teams and see who has the best chance of hoisting hbckey's Stanley Cup.

I'll go through them in my projected order of finish. Remember, only the top eight teams in each conference make the playoffs.

Eastern Conference:

Philadelphia Flyers

Fact: The Legion of Doom line has yet to play more than 48 games together in each of the past two seasons. If all three stay healthy, this line has the potential to notch 130+ goals. Goalie Ron Hextall is like a fine wine, he just keeps getting better with age.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Mario Lemieux and J aromir Jagr are both offensive wizards. The addition of Kevin Hatcher will add veteran leadership behind the b]ueline as weH as improving an already lethal power play.

New York Rangers

The pressure is on forWayne Gretzky and Mark Messier. They are expected to bring the cup to the Big Apple, but the only way that this can happen is if they stay injury free. The play of defenseman Brian Leetch and goaltender Mike Richter are also key.

Washington Capitals

As long as goalie Jim Carey and Peter Bondra are healthy, the Caps should be able to climb into the fourth spot in the conference. The signing of Phil Housley will also improve offensive production from the point.

Montreal Canadiens

Pierre Turgeon will be counted on to lead this young team.

Second-year stars Saku Koivu and Valeri Bure will also be keys. Goalie Jocelyn Thibault is a rising star, but the pressure of being the man to succeed Patrick Roy is immense.

Florida Panthers

To be a member of this team, you must carry a lunchpail and your union membership in hand. Rob Niedermayer and Ray Sheppard will provide the offense while goalie John Vanbiesbrouck, as always, will be a great last line of defense.

New Jersey Devils

This team wins with defense.

Goalie Martin Brodeur is one of the best in the game. If they do not improve their scoring totals, they may drop out of the top eight.

Boston Bruins

Cam Neely's retirement was a huge loss. Ray Bourque and Rick Tocchet will have to pick up the slack. The Bruins have made it to the postseason for the past 29 consecutive years. This streak is definitely in jeopardy.

Tampa Bay Lightning

Roman Hamrlik wiJI once again be a contender for the Norris Trophy (best defenseman), but will need plenty of help to push this mediocre team into the playoffs.

Buffalo Sabres

•The only thing different about this year's team is their uniforms. Goalie Dominik Hasek is one of the few bright spots on this team and he will probably be trade bait by March.

• New York Islanders

Zigmund Palffy will top the

century mark in points, but the Islanders are still a few years away.

Ottawa Senators

This team has more question marks than a pop quiz. Alexi Yashin, Alexandre Daigle, Radek Bonk, etc.

Hartford Whalers

Last year they acquired Brendan Shanahan to become a team leader. This year, Shanahan wants out of Hartford in a big way. So much for leadership.

Western Conference:.

Colorado Avalanche

Four words: Roy, Sakic, Forsberg, Lemieux. Four more words: best team in hockey.

Detroit Red Wings

Offensively, this team is set, but a lack of physical forwards may once again be its downfall. Goalie Chris Osgood is great and centers Sergei Fedorov and Steve Yzerman will once again be counted on to lead this team to !he promised land.

Phoenix Coyotes

Craig Janney will take Keith Tkachuk's game to another level. Possibly into MVP neighborhood. The key, however, is Jeremy Roenick. If-they sign.him, Phoenix may follow the trail that Colorado blazed last year.

Chicago Blackhawks

They must sign Alexei Zhamnov to replace smile of the scoring punch lost when Roenick was traded. With a pair of goalies like Ed Belfour and Jeff Hackett, the Blackhawks will be in a close game almost every night.

Vancouver Canucks

Pavel Bure is returning from a serious injury that caused him to miss 67 games last season. His linemate, Alexander Mogilny,

notched 55 goals without him. The pair could easily tally 60 goals apiece this year.

Anaheim Mighty Ducks

Paul Kariya will continue to live up to the Gretzky comparisons. Last year's late season addition of Teemu Selanne will finally pay off as he and Kariya will carry the Ducks into the playoffs. This could be a Cinderella season for Disney.

St. Louis Blues

Brett Hull will continue to light the lamp despite his dislike for coach Mike Keenan. If things go bad for the team, however, look for Keenan_to start accepting bids for the prized winger.

Toronto Maple Leafs

Goalie Felix Potvin will need to tum in a big year in order for the Leafs to make the playoffs. If one of their big scorers such as Mats Sundin ,or Doug Gilmour go down, they will be in a whole Jot of trouble.

Edmonton Oilers

Doug Weight is a superstar in the making. The team will only benefit from his recent signing. Jason Arnott should compliment Weight nicely. Curtis Joseph

may bring back memories of Grant Fuhr. The rest of the team is made up of young players who still need to gain much needed experience.

Calgary Flames

With the retirement of Gary Roberts, the Flames have virtually no scoring. Theo Fleury is solid at wing, but they lack a true scoring center.

Dallas Stars

Dallas emptied their pocketbooks in the offseason acquiring Pat Verbeek and Sergei Zubov. Joe Nieuwendyk must revert back to the form that he displayed in Calgary. Verbeek will help ease Mike Modano's role of carrying the team offensively, but not that much.

Los Angeles Kings

Wayne Gretzky brought hockey to L.A., but when he was traded, it left with him. Can you say rebuilding?

San Jose Sharks

The losses of Craig Janney, Sandis Ozolinsh, Ray Sheppard and Pat Falloon decimated their offense. Owen Nolan is the only prov~n scorer left. Now that's pressure.

Cavs blanked at feet of Millersville

After coming off a 1-0 victory over Ursinus on Sept. 25 in a game in which they played shorthanded for 60 minutes, the Cavs were looking for a victory over Division II Millersville University. However, Millersville scored a late goal to erase any comeback hopes for the Cavs who fell by the score of 2-0.

by Becky Raetsch staff writer

You win ~orne you lose some. The mens' soccer team experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat last week.

The Cavs started off their week with a hard fought 1-0 victory over Ursinus College on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

However, their two game winning 'streak was brought to a halt when they suffered a 2-0 loss to Millersville University on Saturday, Sept. 28.

The Cavs came out strong against Millersvilie on Saturday applying some early pressure. The Cavs missed on a headball right in front of the goal only five minutes into the game.

Millersville then began turning up the pressure against the Cavs as they started to mount some of their own scoring oppurtunities.

Fifteen minutes into the game Millersville drew first blood scoring a goal on a shot from about 12 yards out.

Junior goalie Anthony Noel made a diving attempt but the ball tipped off bis outstretched arms.

The game went back and forth for the final 30 minutes of the first half but neither team was able to capitalize on their opportunities and the Cavs went into halftime trailing 1-0.

In the second half, the Cavs started to talce over the game.

They had the ball in Millersville's end of the field for large amounts of

time, but were unable to muster a goal.

The Cavs had numerous free kicks from inside the 30 yard line, but came up empty.

The game was played during Family Weekend and the stands were packed with family and friends who cheered wildly as the Cavs tried to tie up the game.

However, the cheering came to a halt when Millersville scored a goal with 10 minutes remaining to give them a commanding 2-0 lead.

The Cavs continued to press forward, but they could not muster any goals.

In the end, Millersville was physically stronger than the Cavs and finished with the 2-0 victory.

After the game, most of the players said they thought the team played pretty well.

However, they all agreed they would continue to lose if they were unable to get more scoring opportunities.

The Cavs came into Saturday's game fresh off a 1-0 victory over Ursinus College.

The Cavs could not wait to get a shot at Ursinus so they could avenge a 2-0 loss to them last year.

"They knocked us out of contention for the NCAA tournament last year, so now it's our turn to get some revenge," senior Jo~ Morris said before the game.

The Cavs came out a little sluggish against Ursinus, but they soon turned up the pressure.

The Cavs' pressure finally paid off

when junior Sean Mullin scored his first goal of the year from about six yards out to give the Cavs a 1-0 lead.

However, with about twenty minutes left in the game, senior co-captain John Volpe was thrown out of the game for allegedly cursing at the referee.

Volpe and an Ursinus Col1ege defender got wrapped up after they both fell to the ground.

The referee then blew the whistle and gave Volpe a yellow card.

Volpe became incensed that the Ursinus College player did not receive a card as well and began arguing with the referee.

The ref then quickly pulled out a red card and made Volpe leave the field.

Rules being rules, the Cavs were not allowed to replace Volpe and had to play the rest of the game a man short.

After Volpe's ejection, the Cavs started to pick up their play. They kept the ball down Ursinus's end but were unable to capitalize on some scoring opportunities.

Meanwhile, Ursinus was not able to generate any offense and the Cavs took a 1-0 lead intp halftime.

Cabrini, with one less man out on the field, dominated the second half. Sophomore Paul Donaghy had three scoring opportunites in the second half but he came up shorthanded as he hit the post once and was stoned by the goalie the other two times.

The Cavs continued to keep up the pressure and Ursinus was not able to

muster any scoring opportunities.

However, in the final ten minutes Ursinus began to mount some pressure as they tried desperately to tie the game.

An Ursinus player did break through for ,0ne good scoring opportunity but be put the shot over the net.

That would end up being their best opportunity. The Cavs stepped up their game defensively and _did not allow Ursinus any more chances to score.

Despite playing shorthanded, the Cavs were able to work together to make their 1-0 lead hold up.

"This was our first real test in a couple of games," senior Graham Vigliotta said. "We really had to ·hold on."

Throughout the game, one of the Ursinus college players played dirty and were whistled for numerous fouls by the referee.

The Cavs were definitely more proficient and played more expertly than Ursinus, Coach D~ncan Hubley commented.

"The other team played dirty to cover up their own incompetence. They were not as skillful as us," Hubley said.

According to Hubley, the Cavs need to work in some improvements for the next game.

"They need to work on opportunities that remind us to be smart. We did not play smart. We lost one of the best players," Hubley said.

The Cavs next game will be at Misericordia College, one of their most hated teams, on Saturday, Oct. 5

Senior Joseph Morris and first-yearstudent Sean McDonald go up for a headball against a MillersvilleUniversityplayer. The Cavs dropped a tough 2·0 loss to MiJlerSviJJe.Theirrecord nowstands al 5-4.
