Students seek SPARC of hope

by Thomas McKee editor-in-chief

First-year student Diane Soto never had any intentions of joining a starter program. She had been burned once before and wanted no part of the disappointment that comes with the potential empty promises.

Nevertheless, Soto, a resident from King George, Va., found herself at Cabrini, majoring in sports science, a department in its first full year as a part of the college's curriculum.

"I was very apprehensive about joining a new program because of the bad experiences I had with the last one I was in," Soto said.

Soto's fears came about as a result of her enrollment in a new private grade school and high school before her eighth grade year.

According to Soto, several problems occurred and she transferred from the school after her freshman year.

Now, six years later, Soto, along with various other students, is cautiously watching the construction of the Sports and Recreation Complex (SPARC), for which groundbreaking occurred on Sunday, Sept. 29.

The sports complex will not only house Cabrini's sporting events, it will also serve as the site in which many of the classes within the sports science major will be held.

Dr. Thomas Boeke, academic dean and provost, said the sports complex as integral to the development of the sports science program, due to the fact that many of the classes will eventually be taught there.

Plans call for the building to be ready in 13-15 months, in plenty of time for the fall 1998 semester.

Sports science majors must take classes in biology, physics, chemistry, business and sports science. Students in their first two years of study will take science classes such as Biological Principles I and entry level sports

science classes such as Fundamental Exercise of Physiology, the only class now being offered within the sports science department.

Two more classes will be offered during the spring semester, according to Dr. Tony Verde, acting department chair of sports science.

Students will not need to take the more advanced classes until their third year of study within the program. giving construction of the SPARC almost two full years to be completed.

Verde does not foresee a potential problem if the SPARC is not completed by the target date.

"You don't have to have the sports and recreation complex to run this major," Verde said. ''The only thing it provides is a place to gain practical experience."

Verde said students could gain the necessary practical experience at other local fitness and health centers. Verde also said an arrangement between Cabrini and Eastern may be made, allowing students at Cabrini to use Eastem's exercise physiology lab.

Even so, the students in the program see SPARC as the key to gaining the practical experience needed.

"I think that SPARC will be a big deciding factor in whether I stay or transfer," Soto said. "I want to get back in the field and work with athletes and use equipment. SPARC will have all that. If construction hasn't progressed by the end of my sophomore year, I have to transfer."

Soto was recruited for the program by the admissions office and Dr. Linda LeMura, professor of

sports science. According to Boeke, LeMura was recruited to leave her present position and work at Cabrini, but decided against it.

Soto visited the school in June and was assured that the college had both the funding and the initiative to implement the program.

Soto also applied to Shepherd College in West Virginia, which offered a major in leisure studies, but ultimately chose Cabrini, a decision based partly around the fact that she received a scholarshipand partly because she had more confidence in Cabrini than her other choice.

"It sounded like a better program than I would get at Shepherd," Soto said.

Although the majority of the students within the program are first-year students and sopho-

mores, potential transfer students are also being affected by the newness of the program.

Greg Wood, a second-semester sophomore and sports science major, transferred to Cabrini last year after a semester at the University of Connecticut. Cabrini is the third college that Wood has attended. He also studied at Daemen College in Buffalo for a semester.

While a student at Cabrini, Wood changed his major from pre-physical therapy to sports science because it was closer related to the job field he plans on entering after coUege.

Wrth the exception of his religion requirements, Wood has completed his core requirements and is now focusing directly on the classes that he will need for his major. He is not enrolled in Fundamental Physiology of Exercise, but said he will take it program.

'Tm going to have to take classes at Eastern, Villanova or Rosemont," Wood said. "Next year, I'll probably only have one or two classes here. I'll basically be a traveling college student."

Nancy Gardner, assistant to provost and academic dean, said that the availability of classes was a major concern with potential transfers into the program.

"We were very concerned," Gardner said. "The issue was dependent on the number of credits a student needed. We wanted to make sure that [transfer] students didn't need specific sports science classes before we were able to offer them."

"I would be cautious if I were a transfer student with the intention of graduating in four years," Boeke said. "The best way of being cautious is to talk to the department chair."

CAP raises hauntedhousefrom dead

by JustinFalclani staff writer

After a year in the grave, the campus activities and programming board (CAP) has brought the haunted house back from the dead. It did not take a seance to complete the task, it took extensive planning from the CAP Board along with the student government association (SGA) to bring back what was a gone but not forgotten project. The haunted house will be a new experi-

ence for first-year students as well as for sophomores and transfers.

The event will take place in Xavier Hall from Thursday, Oct. 7, through Saturday, Oct. 19, with a return of Cabrini's haunted house. The haunted house tradition goes back to the days when Grace Hall was still a horse stable, however it was discontinued last year because there was no student activity director at the time.

John Lindsay, president of CAP, said it was a lot of hard work and he

hopes this year's haunted house is a big success.

Lindsay also said that there are many' ways people can participate. In the halls of Xavier, participants can be floaters, people dressed in black with black head tops who will roam though the halls attempting to scare passers by.

Each quad in Xavier will make up a theme for their area, and decorate the quads in accordance with the Halloween spirit. There will be traditional scary monsters as well as

a guest appearance by Freddy Krueger, who will line up his next victim.

SGA President Andy Burke said there will be new features to this year's haunted house such as face paintings, halloween music, and a few other surprises.

WYBF will also be live outside of Xavier playing music and offering free giveaways.

On Thursday, Oct. 17, the haunted house will be open from 7-10 p.m. and on Friday Oct. 18 to

Saturday Oct. 19 it will be open from 7 p.m. to midnight.

Xavier Hall will be transformed into a house of horror, where the college community and outsiders can participate. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children, and $2 for Cabrini students with valid identification.

This activity is sponsored by the CAP Board of the student government association. For more information contact Bob MacCartney at 902-8255.

~ultimedia broadens learning horizons

by Jason Jungreis staff writer

As the world continues to evolve toward computers, there is a constant need for multimedia and the applications it contains.

Cabrini has taken the steps necessary to teach their students about this unbelievable art form.

A new co~ will be offered during the spring semester on multimedia applications and how they are made.

This multimedia course was put together by Cathy Yungmann, assistant professor of English and communications, and Don Dempsey, assistant professor of fine arts.

In th.e past, in both business and colleges, video production, radio, theater, journalism and graphic design were all thought of as separate fields.

When students would take courses in one specific area they would hope to have a career in that part of communications in the future.

However, all of these areas of communication are heading for one new major area of communication: multimedia.

"Multimedia is everything put together," Yungmann said. "Everything is going onto a computer."

"Cabrini started their fine arts

and graphic design departments. We knew that we would tum towards multimedia," Yungrnann said "This is Cabrini's way of integrating multimedia into the curriculum."

The equipment that is necessary for this multimedia endeavor is very expensive. Cabrini made a capital investment for ·this equipment so that the students could learn multimedia properly.

"We're trying to make our stuen aware o e nities and our majors aware of the multimedia applications," Yungmann said. "Multimedia is another aspect of the communications media."

Dempsey is the instructor that will be in charge of this course.

Dempsey took graduate courses in multimedia and designed an interactive resource for the history of American graphic design.

Dempsey's goal is for students to be able to take the skills they learn in his class into the real world and hopefully make a successful career out of them.

Students are going to take the skills they learn and make a multimedia presentation in groups for their final project in class.

Students will learn basic animation techniques. They will also learn how to record basic video and imaging along with audio.

Students will also learn how to

combine them into an interactive presentation.

''Multimedia is about communicating visually," Dempsey said. "The involvement of multimedia in the past· few years within the world has made it clear that all of the communication people are being brought together."

Most multimedia projects are done by a group of people instead of just one person. The course is designed to give everybody a e ·cation aspects.

"Multimedia is an orchestra of people working together to create a presentation," Dempsey said.

The course will be using professional software used in the field today.

This course is very project oriented, and by the end, students will have an understanding of how all the communication media come together to form multimedia.

"This course will give"students a good foundation to get started on a multimedia career," Dempsey said.

The communications department has been planning this for years.

'This course brings together all of the talents and facilities of our division," Dr. Jerome Zurek, chainnan of the English and communications department said.

O Auto Accident 10/2

Two females were involved in an auto accident at the Upper Gulph Road entrance of the college and not on campus. One female complained of back pain and was in an upset condition. The female declined transport by ambulance and said that her father would take her to the hospital. The other'

female said she did not experience any pain. All needed information was taken by the Tredyffrin Police Dept.

O Obscene Note 10/3

A female student was sitting in the gathering area talking to another female when an unknown male approached her, gave her a note and left. He came back and left again. He did not say anything to the female. She said that the incident "worried her." The female student gave a description of the male to Public Safety.

Since Clinton took office, his health care reform has been repeatedly ques- tioned. The president's newly released reform plan hopes to accomplish two things.

He hopes that every American will have some sort of basic insurance, regardless of income. Costs would be controlled by creating a way for insurance companies to offer the best care for the lowest price.

A consumer will be given the opportunity to choose a plan that will offer greater choices for a greater price or fewer choices for a owe co

All plans will include a package of benefits. Clinton is seeking to control the costs through private competitionhealth alliances.

Under Clinton's plan, Medicaid will be totally eliminated. All the recipients, including uninsured citizens, will be put into the local purchasing alliances. Subsidies will be given to part-time, self-employed or low wage workers.

Citizens are concerned that with Clinton's proposals, the government bureaucracy will increase and Americans will be given rationed medicine.

Dole believes that the government should stay out of the health care decisions. He feels since it affects consumers, consumers should choose their benefits.

In 1994, Dole introduced a reform bill which had no taxes, mandates or price controls. The bill focused mainly on insurance refonn while aiding low income families by offering subsidies.

Dole says people who change jobs will not lose their coverage. Self-employed citizens will receive the same tax deductions that large companies are offered.

Dole proposes that medical savings accounts will be offered and home care will become more readily used.

It is important to Dole that Medicaid helps low income families more efficiently. He feels that the states should be given the responsibility to design their programs to fit their particular communities and better benefit the citizens of that area.

Dole will impose a tax deduction for families who care for elderly parents or family members. He will encourage the development of private long term care and ask the government to help people pay for it.

Dole hopes to expand the options of long term care and ensure the quality of nursing home care to protect the patients as well as the families from being taken advantage of.

WHO IS WINNING THIS TIDNG ANYWAY?

With the election less than three weeks away, Bob Dole is still trailing in the polls. This tracking poll, according to a USA Today/CNN/Gallup nationwide poll of 746 registered voters deemed likely to vote, shows Bill Ointon maintaining his lead over Bob Dole by 22 percentage points.

This still, featuring instruction on many facets of television production, is one of many vivid images displayed on a new multimedia CD-ROM currently being used by Yungmann's television production class.

Jensen speaks on adapting to information age

The teacher of the job search techniques course informed English/communication majors on the habits of highly successful people and how those traits can be developed at Cabrini.

by Ron D'Orazio staff writer

Brian Jensen, lecturer in communica~ions, introduced the new age of the work world to the communications department in the Widener center lecture hall. Jensen kicked off his presentation at 12:30 p.m. on TQesday,Oct. 8.

With the assistance of Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairman of the English and communications department,·and a screen projector, Jensen was able to give pointers to students on how to adapt to changes in the times of the business world.

Jensen emphasized that the consumer wants to be satisfied faster and faster all the time.

This in turn calls for corporations to use the most advanced technology to tum out their product. One of Jensen's examples of available technology is the rapid-growing internet.Jensen said that by the year 2000, one billion people will have ac.cessto the internet Jensen then moved to the subject of competitionfor jobs.

"There are 5,734,000,000 people on this earth and most of them want your job," Jensen said about the size of competition in today's job market.

Jensen also said that by the year 2000 less than one-half of the work force will have only a full-timejob. He gave students the advice to take

a look at small-businessemployers instead of just targeting the major corporations. Small businesses are doing well and are hiring many more people than big businesses which are faltering and are laying off employees and downsizingtheir payrolls.

Jensen listed five important skills that are critical for survival in the job market.

Knowledge of technological advances is a must for entranceinto almost any business.

Another key skill is the management of your own morale. This means that employees should not have great expectations for job security or the job market.

Continuing education throughout your working years is now necessary since most skills learned in college become non-factors in 3-5 years. The consumer demands quickness, therefore an employee has to have speed and time management skills to smvive. Business persons should provide good service to CO-'workersand consumers.

Jensen said that making good on promises and appointments is an exampleof good service.He left the crowd with the notion that openness to multi-job experiencesshould not be ignored.

• To end his presentation Jensen said. ''Brain power will be the power of the future. You must be smart and willing to work hard."

Comea1ans Kracl<up ana pay out cash

by Diane Grimaldi staff writer

Win cash for not laughing.

Easier said than done. This was proven on Saturday, Oct. 5, when the campus activities and programming board (CAP), presented Krack Me Up. Students gathered in the Widener center lecture hall with hopes of winning money and prizes by not laughing. This is based on an old game show ca1Ied "Make Me Laugh."

Frank Roche, Kevin McPeek and headliner, Mike Green were the comedians for the evening.

All the comedians said they were excited to be here, especially after Janet Mercury, a first-year student and CAP board member told them she wears Mickey Mouse underwear. One comedian used the revelation in his opening monologue, much to the embarrassment of Mercury.

The first half of the show was a stand-up routine from each of the three comedians. Green was the headliner for the evening. He has been featured on MTV's Half Hour Comedy Hour, Showtime and he will be appearing on Late

Show with David Letterman this fall.

The second half of the show was the actual game. Students entered their name in a raffle. If their name was picked from the box, they got to try their lµck at winning cash.

The rules were the contestants could not smile, laugh or quiver their lips trying not to smile. They had to keep a dead pan face the entire time and answer any questions the comedian asked. Each comedian got 60 seconds with the contestant to try and make them laugh. The comedians could not touch

the contestant. If the contestant was successful they won up to $25. If they laughed they got a T-shirt for their effort.

The first contestant was freshman Diane Soto. McPeek dressed as "Psychic Linda" and tried to read her mind, but could not make her laugh. Green, dressed as Super Grover, pretended to fly through the lecture hall. Soto did not keep a straight face and won a T-shirt for her effort.

The next contestant was junior Michelle Savage. Roche dressed as and imitated actor Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura. This proved to be too much for Savage who succumbed to laughter seconds.~ after his appearance. She also received a T-shirt for her effort.

Visiting student Juanita Torres was the third contestant. She sat through McPeek dressed as a nerd giving her bad pick up lines, Green being an invisible man and Roche dressed as one of the Village People. She kept her straight face and won $25.

Junior Cara Santelli dressed in a plaid jacket with fins on her hands and did the "Macarena." She got $15 for making the comedians laugh.

After Santelli 's version of the "Macarena," time ran out on the comedians.

Dole vs. 'Bozo' Though he referred to his

rival as "Mr. President" during Sunday's presidential debate, Bob Dole deemed Bill Clinton a "bozo" on Tuesday.

Upon response to a man's shout to "get Bozo out of the White House," Dole responded, ''Bozo's on his way out."

Though Dole's spokesman took the incident in a light manner, President Clinton's aides took it more seriously. Dole stated during Sunday's debate that even though Clinton "didn't extend that cour0 tesy" to President Bush in 1992's debates,he referredto his opponent as "Mr. President" because he respects the presidency.

Lately,Dole has been more rash in his attackson Clinton. In an article in USA Today, Dole said of Clinton, "His word's no good. I'll keep my promises."

-Millions spent in tobacco company lobbying

by Mark Friel -atatfwriter

According to an Associated Press article, the tobacco industry spent millions in the first part of 1996 fighting federal efforts to slow down teenage smoking, the tax increases on industries and control tobacco advertising.

Industry powerhouse Phillip Morris led the way with $11.3 million, according to federal reports disclosing ·the real expenses of special interests in lobbying Congress, federal agencies and the White House.

in non-tobacco businesses, such Kraft Foods. Reports specify the majority of its lobbying efforts are tobacco related.

Congressional aides who have looked over the reports say Phillip Morris' sum seemed to be ·the biggest so far among approximately 12,000 companies and groups that filed midyear reports over the past two months.

Representatives of the tobacco industry say spending has been necessary.

"We had a lot of federal attention from regulators and the White House," said Thomas Laurie, a representative for the Tobacco Institute.

Once given deference in Washington, the industry has seen its credibility disappear in recent years by allegations that executives kept the knowledge of the destructive and addictive nature of cigarettes covered up.

Political vulnerability in industries increased last month when President Bill Clinton declared nicotine an addictive drug and demanded that cigarettes be controlled by the Food and Drug Administration.

The industry puts money into lobbying, in defending itself against lawsuits.

At last, 13 states have sued to recover smoking-related healthcare costs. Eight pending suits

filed by smokers say they became addicted while the industry hid the addictive nature of its product.

The Justice Department is persistent with its criminal check into whether or not tobacco companies have lied to Congress and the public about the, addictive properties of nicotine.

Records indicate that during the first 18 months of the present two-year election cycle, the tobacco industry gave $4. 75 million in uncontrolled ''soft money" to the two major parties.

The Republicans received $4 million and the Democrats accepted $750,000.

A shirt costs $1. Pants are $2. With shoes, you could have an entire outfit for $5.Unbelievable? Try shopping at any of the various thrift shops along the Main Line.

The Alley Door, off Lancaster Avenue in Wayne, sells evening gowns from $4 to $10, slacks and blouses as low as $6, jackets ranging from $5 to $15 and shoes for $5 or less. Besides clothes, The Alley Door also sells blankets, linens, glassware and trinkets like most other thrift shops. The Alley Door is locate<;!just off of Lancaster Avenue, and is as small as it sounds. The crammed room gives way to the dusty, old fashioned surroundings of the Alley Door.

The Pennywise Thrift Shop, a division of Jefferson Memorial, located on West Lancaster Ave. has shirts, jeans, pants, skirts, hats and evening dresses less than $6. Pennywise Thrift Shop may not look like much, but the lost items of yesteryear can be found on the inside.

Since 1973, The Palm Tree has been operating in the Paoli Memorial Park Hospital. This is the largest of the area thrift shops selling everything from sofas to fur coats. Like most other thrift shops, volunteers run the store. The Palm Tree is stepping up into the '90s with new technologies, but is keeping the fashions of the old alive. The Palm Tree is the store with atmosphe!'(:,keeping the junk of some and selling it as the treasures of others.

Marigold's is an upscale resale shop located on Lancaster Avenue also. They are more expensive, most items being $5 or more.

Prices are only a fraction of what you would pay for retail. "You get so much for so little. With such a variety, it's a bargain," said junior Mia Fitzgerald, who can be seen modeling these clothes around campus. ''There is so much beautiful stuff."

People will either consign clothing or donate it. Vintage clothing and other styles can be found at thrift shops, unlike the department stores in the malls today.

Quality is fair for the price you pay, which in the long run is cheaper than any sale you will find at Macy's or Sears. And you won't have to wony about the clothes going out of style because thrift shops have been around for years! Styles may come and go but the thrift shops will be here forever.

""Cats," dubbed as the "longest running Broadway Musical," is appearing at the Forrest Theatre from Oct. 1 through Oct. 27.

From the minute I walked into the theatre, I felt like I bad walked into the world of these amazing cats. The atmosphere was lively, and I could tell that the audience was anxious for the show to start.

The cast of this extraordinary musical, (there is no spoken dialogue), execute their roles with grace and style. There are many complicated dance routines, but this does not seem to bother the performers. As the actors slink about the stage, their moves are smooth enough to resemble those of a cat.

When the lights went out, a spectacular light show began. The lights were almost like the opening act. They buzzed and

blinked in time with the music from the overture. Then the first cat appeared on stage.

The opt?ning song, "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats," sets the mood for the entire play. Songs like "The Old Gumbie Cat" and "Bustopher Jones" are fanciful. They are light and carefree.

"Memory" and "Gus: The Theater Cat" make you want to comfort the characters that sing the songs. I could actually feel the regret the characters were feeling. The strong emotions made the characters seem more real to me.

The costumes were interesting. I admire the performer who dares to wear full body spandex outfits in front of hundreds of people every night. Honestly, the costumes made it a lot easier to picture the actors as cats. Costumes were painted to look like fur and they wore headpieces with fur and ears attached.

The stage was amazing. The

THEATER REVIEW

ground plan was made to make the actors look the actual size of a cat. Oversized tires, ovens and shoes were just a few of the props that helped make the audience feel like they were in a giant world. The actors playfully romped on and around the stage, crawling in and out of tubes and boxes.

My favorite part of the play was during the song "Growltiger's Last Stand." It was a cat's memory of when he was a star on the stage. The act consisted of cats dressed up like pirates and oriental soldiers. They danced and sang of the romance between the pirate Growltiger and a Persian cat. The two cats proceeded to perform a quit.e humorous comedy routine, while trying to out do each other.

Songs such as "Memory," "The Marching Song of Pollicle Dogs" and "Grizabella, the Glamour Cat" were taken from the unpublished works of T.S.

Elliot. Additional lyrics were written by Trevor Nunn. • Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote that "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" made him remember his childhood. I can relate with those feelings. It is hard to watch this play and not recall silly childhood thoughts.

Over all, I think "Cats" was everything it was advertised to be. It was a wonderful play and an even more wonderful experience. I can't wait for the next Andrew Lloyd Webber show to come to Philadelphia. I won't hesitate to get tickets.

EDITORIAL And justice for all

The intention of this editorial is not to trigger any unnecessary alarms, but to state an observation made based on what has become an alarming trend

There is no doubt in anyone's mind that the SPARC will be completed. We know the money is there and we know that the project is being actively pursued. The addition of the sports science major to the college's curriculum further supports the notion that the complex will be built.

Even so, delays and setbacks -are sometimes inevitable, though not necessarily the fault of any one particular person or thing. One needs only to look so far as the installation of campus-wide internet access or even the groundbreaking of SPARC, both delayed. Often times, it is the logistics and paper work that will act as the monkey wrench in the plans.

It is not our intention to find bad in something that is obviously good for the college. We only hope that the college has not jumped ahead of itself again.

The school has actively recruited students for the major, assuming and perhaps rightfully so, that SPARC will be ready to open its doors when the time comes. But with recent projects having fallen victim to setback after setback, the question must be posed, what if the SPARC is 1,101completed by the fall semester of 1998?

It has been said that the complex is not necessary for the students to complete the major, it would simply complement the program. e thatthe completion of the SPARC was a major selling point to the people who chose Cabrini to study sports science and therefore could be referred to as bait?

Many of the classes in the sports science major are to be held in the SPARC. If completion is delayed, then many of the people who are here for that major will be forced to decide on whether or not they want to wait around for its completion.

If SPARC is not completed on time, the consequences would not necessarily be catastrophic, but rather unjust.

Loquituris establishedas a forumfor studentexpressionand as a voicein the uninhibited,robust,free and open discussionof issues.

A heartfelt look into the future

"Yesterday" is a state of mind that can restrain us.

Consider the words of my friend Mary, who is 28.

"I hate my life. It seems like everything is changing at once. I'd give anything for some boredom."

Her roommate bad just moved out and her job in a day-care center bas been reduced to part-time.

"I know all that stuff about doors opening and closing," she went on, "but all of a sudden, yesterday looks good. Tomorrow looks scary. Why couldn't I just have yesterday back?"

Most of us can relate to the wish to have yesterday back. I joked with Mary that I still miss how we used to play with Barbies and how we used to sleep over each other's houses. But still, things change. But if change is natural, why can it be so difficult?

From the moment we are born, our primary instinct is to find trust, safety and security. This is done with the people who primarily care for us, usually, our parents. The need is basic, in the same aspect as and a er.

At 18 months of age, we have another apparently conflicting need to explore the world and become indepen'dent. We need to grow and evolve. How do we resolve this conflict? PsychoanalystD.W. Winnicott described the term transitional object, referring to the things infants use to help them separate from their parents and grow, things like a favorite stuffed animal or a security blanket. We have seen how these transitional objects are more important to some babies than others.

We learn about ourselves and the world in whlch we live from our families. They teach children whether life is exciting and adventurous or dangerous and lived with extreme caution. Families teach us we are competent to navigate through this world and how much value we have.

Depending on the lessons we learned, change will be more or less difficult. If the world is a frightening place, we are more likely to hold on to yesterday than to grasp on to tomorrow. Even if yesterday held pain, conflict or emptiness, it is more secure than the unknown dangers of tomorrow.

Children clutch their transitional objects because they are frightened and insecure. As they grow, they continue to look for things that will help them feel secure. Grades, drugs and alcohol and perfect bodies are some examples. But the security they provide can not reduce the fear and insecurity that remain. Even adults have transitional objects, things that will make us feel more secure and more lovable. Things like money, power, youth and beauty.

All of these things give us the hope and the illusion of security and safety as we go through life.

But money gives you wealth, not security. Beauty makes you_ attractive, not necessarily lovable. All change, even for the better, is loss.

Loss must be mourned or it lies trapped inside us at the cost of our growth. Mourning is difficult and few of us are taught how to do it. Most can and do, avoid the mourning of losses for many years.

Recently, I talked with a friend of mine, who is 23 years old and physically unable to

function very well. Her parents had been divorced for more than 10 years and their relationship was friendly. Nevertheless, their psychological sessions kept returning to their divorce. Eventually, the psychologist asked her to bring her parents and brother together for a session so they could explore what the problem might be.

The session seemed somewhat unproductive, but before it ended, they realized that they might never be together again in the same room. The psychologist asked them if there was anything they wanted to do or say before they left. After several moments of silence, they all , stood and slowly moved toward the center of the room. They embraced one another and quietly wept. They said it was like being at a funeral. Here was mourning that had been postponed for a decade.

In mourning we can find hope.

Last week was the one-year anniversary of my grandmother's death. Her headstone was placed on the grave the other day.

My stepsister, Elizabeth and my nephew Jacob went to visit the grave with me. Jacob never met his great grandmother because she died a month before he was born.

While we were standing around the grave, Jacob crawled over toward the headstone. In the midst of my tears, I watched as he put his tiny hands on the headstone and looked up. In that instant, I saw my grandmother's face.

1 hope little Jacob can successfu11y mourn the losses he will surely face, so he can look forward to all of his his tomorrows with enthusiasm.

Loquitur are the views of the student editorial staff and the individual write.rs, not the entire student body or the faculty and adminis- , tration.

The art of our success in life

Have you ever wondered if the job you are training for will exist in ten years?

Ever wonder how many times you will be forced to a strange location?

Do you want to be remembered as an inventive member of your chosen profession (busi:iess, science, teaching, etc )?

Your success in all of these will depend on your ability to appreciate the arts.

That includes visiting the Art Museum, the theater and the Academy of Music. Don't believe me? Look.

Cabrini College is a liberal arts college. You can get moreintensive business training -at a trade school. You will get eight hours of science working in a lab.

Here we believe that the· appreciation and challenge of the arts, the discovery of beauty, the energy, pain and training it takes to understand a work are exactly the preparation a young person needs to face the changes and terrors of the 21st century.

Some examples: you are

asked to visit a modem dance recital.

The moves, costumes, space relationships and entire ambiance are alien to you. Do you turn off and say, "That stinks?"

Of course not. You'll say, "What the is going on here and why would anyone do that?"

What do the colors and choreography mean?

You'll discuss it with your friends and have .the dance teacher help out. Art is not easy. You might hate it, but you will grow. And the argum~nt might drift to something else like the elections or Bosnia.

Later, as your appreciation of the arts matures, you might read in the New York Times, that students' IQs actually rise eight points if they are tested to Mozart's music.

There is something about the combination of discipline, order and sweetness. You will run out and buy a Mozart CD and listen to it and then put it on to study by. The study night is easier.

PERSPECTIVES

Two Cents

by Neal Newman theatre director

Your girlfriend dumps you and you want to jump out a window, but instead you go to the Barnes Foundation where the beauty of Renoir puts life into perspective. You balk at seeing a play because it is about problems in California. Hey, you might end up living here.

The person who will succeed in the future is the one with a true liberal arts education.

I recently returned from a research visit at Castleton State College in Vermont, where they require first-year and transfer students to attend 12 events plus a $70 lab fee.

One senior there told me, "I started with 'Why do I have to go to this,' but then I was grateful for it. It had doubled the value of my college experience."

So... please. Support the arts on campus and in the city. Vote for the candidates who support the National Endowment for the Arts.

And most of all, use the arts to strengthen your training and to enjoy being human and alive.

Toes still tappin' at country music awards

by Kelly Ann Monahan staff writer

If you can't do it liv,e, you can't do it at all.

The Country Music Awards featured barrels of performers who proved that they could do it live. And then some.

Established artists such as Patty Loveless and Reba McEntire put on memorable performances on Wednesday, Oct. 2 on CBS. Loveless • brought cl~s to the stage, while McEntire brought charisma.

It does not matter whether you are a fan of Reba's songs or even her voice. When she takes the stage, you watch. You cannot help but watch. It is something in the eyes.

Ironically, though, it was the artists who are newest to the spotlight that really captured the audience. These young talented

artists were nominated for the Horizon Award.

This was by far the toughest category to judge. Terri Clark, LeeAnn Rimes, Wade Hayes, Shania Twain and Bryan White are all worthy and appealing talent.

But only one of these artists strikes a soft spot in the heart of every young, female country· fan.

Needless to say I leaped out of my comfortably-cushioned chair, sending my little neurotic pup beside me into a frenzy and bounced around the room exhaulting "yes!" Bryan White's name was announced as the winner.

If looking at him is not

enough (which it will be), his smooth, angelic voice will melt you-unlike anything else.

Or perhaps it is the inhibition and complete modesty that so marks his personality. Although he performed his fast tempo No. 1 hit tune "So Much for Pretending" with much success, country music fans everywhere know that White was meant to sing ballads. Three No. 1 hit ballads, if

Shania Twain performed "God Bless the Child," a song about forsaken children. Surprisingly, she failed to interact well with the choir of children brought on stage during her performance. She did, however, give a powerful vocal delivery with a new-found confidence.

And who could forget thirteen - ye a r - o 1d LeeAnn Rimes, whose debut single "Blue" went No. l faster than ice cream melts? The dynamic talent should have been given an award for the age factor alone.

Host Vince Gill did a wonderful job presenting performers

and winners. He won song of the year for "Go Rest lligh on that Mountain." Ultimately, the show demonstrated how greatly country music has grown in style and audience.

The country music that was once known to many as honky tonk or twang, today has evolved into everything from country rock to country pop to country blues.

It is only natural that a style with such a broad variation would attract the largest listening audience throughout the entire United States.

And what better way _tolead country music further into the future than with fresh young talent like Bryan White, who are the stars of tomorrow?

I'd be willing to settle for Bryan White period. But you'll have to twist my arm a little first.

Step it up, Eric

by Jim Martin sports editor

When Eric Lindros returns to the line-up from injury, he will do so with the large expectations that accompany him.

When Lindros was traded to the Flyers, be was hailed as the instant savior to a team that had missed the playoffs for two consecutive years.

Lindros came to a team that was bad and they subsequently missed the playoffs the next two years, despite his presence.

In his third year with the Flyers, they finally made the playoffs and surprised everyone by making it to the third round.

Lindros finaUy had silenced his critics by winning the Hart Trophy and leading his team to an unexpected win over the Mark Messier-led New York Rangers.

In some people's eyes, Llndros took a step back last year. His scoring decreasecl and the Flyers flopped in the second round of the playoffs.

Like many young superstars, Lindros will never be able to live up to the expectations of all the fans.

However, this is the year that Lindros must become the true leader of the team.

At times last year, it seemed as if Lindros did not assert himself on the ice constantly, especially in the Florida Panthers series.

He would play great one game and follow it up with a bad game.

Lindros is now in his fifth year in the league and entering his prime.

;\JI of the great ones step up and lead their team to victory and that is what the Flyers will be counting on him to do.

Lindros has the experience, strength and ability to become the best player in the game.

However, it is up to him to accomplish it.

Lindros must play with passion and aggressiveness that will inspiretheFlyers.

Lindroswas visibly upset after the Flyers lost in the playoffs and said he could not wait until this season started.

Well,Llndros,the season is here. It is timefor you to stepup and leadtheFlyersto the StanleyCup. I knowthis is askingfora lot, butthatis whatis expectedif you area truesuperstar.

Sister act paces victory over Eastern

Jamie and Kristi Paul provided the offense, while Chris and Mary Lear sparked the defense. The victory was another step toward qualifying for the PAC playoffs as the Lady Cavs improved their record to 4-2 in the conference. Better yet, they seem to be over their mid-season slump.

by Kirsten Yard staff writer

With tremendous force and a determination to win, the women's field hockey team rolled over Eastern College with a 3-0 victory on Monday, Oct. 7.

The Lady Cavs are now 4-2 in the conference and their overall record stands at 7-5.

The game was originally scheduled for Oct. 2, but it was postponed because of rain. No make-up date was immediately scheduled after the cancellation.

Although the game was not planned, it did nothing to deter the Lady Cavs froin getting the victory they desperately needed.

• Eastern's field was the Cavs' place for triumph.

When the opening whistle blew, the Lady Cavs and Eastern players battled back and forth until junior Jamie Paul broke the scoreless tie.

Paul scored the goal off.of a "corner hit" from a pass by senior Jennifer Wiederwax.

After the goal, the Lady Cavs did not let up as they continued to press forward to try to get another goal.

First-year student Kristi Paul responded by increasing the Lady Cavs' lead to 2-0 by scoring off of a rebound.

The two teams continued to go back and forth until the first half ended with the Lady Cavs holding onto their 2-0 lead.

The Lady Cavs came out in the second half and again put early pressure on Eastern.

The hard work paid off for the women's field hockey team as Jamie Paul scored her second goal of the game off of another rebound.

After a scramble in front of the net, Paul took the rebound and shot it into the corner.

The Paul sisters combined for all of the Lady Cavs goals.

Although they had more

opportunities to score, Jamie Paul's goal ended up being the final goal of the game.

Although the Lady Cavs' offense played excellent, their defense also played a great game.

Senior co-captain Melissa Hunsberger said senior Erin O'Neil played an excellent game on defense constantly thwarting Eastern's offensive attack.

Sophomore Mary Lear also played a great game in goal, earning a shutout.

Although the Lady Cavs controlled the game, Eastern was still able to get some good scoring opportunities.

However, Lear responded by stopping every shot that Eastern took.

Over all, the members of the team all thought they played a good game.

Coach Jackie Neary said the players were very disappointed when the game against Eastern was cancelled last week.

However, when the players found out the game was rescheduled for Monday, she said they were very excited and came out with a lot of energy against Eastern.

One of Eastern 's players said, "They were running all over us."

Junior Tara Pfeiffenberger said the Lady Cavs had good communication in the game and she felt it played a major role in their victory.

Pfeiffenberger also said the team "played strong defense and then we scored, which really means everything."

"It's important that we got the W, but I still think we could have played better. There's always room for improvement," Mandy Seeds, sophomore, said.

Sophomore Becky Garbie felt the team played a great game offensively as they constantly applied pressure on Eastern.

the Lady Cavs PAC record to 4-2.

Garbie also added that she felt the team was playing much better than they did last season.

Coach Neary summed it up by commenting on an outstanding win.

"They definitely looked like they were on a mission and they got the win," Neary said. "It's a PAC [Pennsylvania Athletic Conference] win, it's a big one."

The Lady Cavs are currently fourth in the PAC standings with three games to go. The win over Eastern was especially big because the Lady Cavs need to remain in fourth place if they are to make the PAC playoffs. Their three remaining games are against Misericordia College, Beaver College and Marywood College.

Men's and women's cross country run at Belmont Classic

The men's and women's teams put on respectable showings. The men placed second out of five teams while the women placed second out of seven

by Kelly Ann Monahan staff writer

Ju.st keep on running.

This is exactly what the men's and women's cross country teams did in their fourth meet of the season on Saturday, Oct. 5. The Belmont Classic meet consisted of Division III teams only, and took place at Belmont Plateau in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park.

Out of five men's and seven women's teams, Albright College placed first for both men and women. Cabrini's men's and women's teams both placed second, with 37 points for the women and 43 points for the men. In cross country, the lowest score wins.

The women were scheduled to run a 3.1 mile race at 12:15 p.m. By 12:10, the crowd was still moderately small and the atmosphere still very relaxed.

Tom O'Hora, the women's and men's track and cross country coach, anxiously circulated the field greeting runners, family members and other coaches.

Suddenly a line of runners formed on the field, Cabrini on the extreme left. O'Hora gave the starting cue and the runners blasted across the field, gradually transcending from clusters of images to a single-file line of figurines in the distance.

Even, if the first couple minutes of the meet itself was not exciting, the planes sm,ring over the wide open field or the honking of cars as they approached the expressway would have been entertaining enough.

At nine minutes, 24 seconds, the last runner entered the woods, and for a

mere second it seemed as is life had vanished from the field, never to return.

O'Hora led the spectators in spirit, the few that they were. As the crowd waited patiently for the first sign of a runner, Cabrini's men's team arrived for warm-ups, immediately showing nervous dispositions.

Suddenly a runner entered the field, but she was not from Cabrini. Albright had the lead.

"Well, they beat us in the woods again," O'Hora said to his companions. "I don't know what happened."

What happened was that runners were under the weather all week, compounded by the fact that first-year student Alicia McNevin had sprained her ankle two days before and was unable to run.

Junior Lyndi Paladino, who finished first for Cabrini and second overall, was exhausted after the race, her arms hurting most. Similar to senior captain Kristen Vento, Paladino had an aggravating cold but nevertheless improved her running.

"I ran very well at 21 minutes, 14 seconds," Paladino said breathlessly after the meet. "I improved since last week."

Vento, who finished fourth for Cabrini and ninth overall, was happy that she pushed her way in front of one of the Albright runners during the race.

She pointed out that the meet was a good judge of where Cabrini stands in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference because the competing teams basically all had the same ability level.

"All t~e teams wer~ close," Vento

said, "but Albright was definitely the challenge."

So the runners were stuck with colds, but the good news is that Cabrini sophomore Michelle McDevitt was fighting back from a sprained ankle in her first meet since the injury.

Joanne Hullings, team doctor for Cabrini's track and cross country teams, said that the weather made all the difference.

"Last week we had a lot of injuries among teams because of the warm weather," Hullings said. "Today is perfect."

The main plus was the familiar running course. According to junior Nicole Volikas, who ranked second for Cabrini and sixth overall, she knew the course by heart.

The only runner from Cabrini who was completely unfamiliar with the running course was Susan Friedmann, who finished third for Cabrini and seventh overall.

A transfer student from Shippensburg, this was Friedmann's first meet ever at Cabrini College. ActuaJly, it was her first meet since high school. Although she was pleased with her performance, a trace of disappointment surfaced.

"1 always feel that I could do better," Friedmann said. "I didn't know what to expect at all."

When the time came for the men's teams to line up on the field, the crowd had diminished from almost no one to mostly no one. The main support stemmed from the remaining female runners.

Sophomore captain Joe Uff finished first for Cabrini.

Sophomores Mike Kool and Maurice Blassingame both had injuries. Kool, also an avid hockey player, sprained his left ankle during the first lap and was unable to complete the five-mile race.

"It was a major let-down," Kool said. "I am very disappointed."

•But no one needed to ask, really. It was written all over his face, as he lay on the ground making good use of an ice pack.

A few minutes into the woods, Blassingame's nose began to bleed. He courageously finished the race, but was definitely prevented from running to the best of his ability.

Junior John Mack, who ranked fifth for Cabrini and 16th overall, was somewhat surprised about the minimal crowd, but was confidant in his abilities. Mack, who sprained his left ankle over a month ago, now has an ankle brace, and, needless to say, is fighting back.

So is his team.

"It was rough going up hills/' Mack said, "but I am getting stronger every week." '

Aside from the ideal weather of the day, Cabrini faced many obstacles, including colds ,md injuries.

But despite disappointment, they held their heads up high. And no matter what the dilemma, they ran.

Cold or no cold. Bloody nose or no bloody nose.

And, when they are faced with such, rain and snow and everything else, they keep on going.

Field Hockey Coach finds family on and off the field

by Kevin Scott staff writer

The differ~nce between success and failure often has to do with how team members sup• port and help one another.

A marriage works in the 'same fashion. This being the case, women's field hockey coach, Jackie Neary, is a part of a winning team on and off the field.

During the recent family weekend, many families celebrated the central theme of "The Wonder Years."

This symbolized the change and growth that college students go through during their four years here at Cabrini.

The theme for Neary's weekend, however, should have been "The Wonderful Years."

Recently, Jackie looked back on her life and saw how much her family supported her throughout her coaching career.

This unwavering support is what allows her to be a part of something that she loves so much.

Whenever the team faces off for a game, Jackie's biggest fans, as usual, are usually on hand to cheer Neary and her team on.

This group consists of four very special peeple. Joe, Jackie's-husband of nine years, along with their three children 6 year-old Jake, 3 year-old Sean, and 6 month-old Jackie.

Jackie also enjoys interacting with the players' paTents.

Whenever the parents are on hand for games, Jackie gets her players to introduce them to all of the other parents on hand.

This way, they will be able to develop a friendship that often lasts throughout the season, lt also gives Jackie and her family a- chance to meet some new people.

"I really like it because I can get to know the parents," Jackie said. "It is also nice because it shows how much the parents are interested in their child's Men's

college experience.

During her own college years at Temple University, Jackie was an All-American in lacrosse and co-captained both the lacrosse and field hockey teams.

After graduation, she did some refereeing.

However, this did not quench her thirst for the competition that she so desired.

Neary decided. to go back to Temple and become an assistant field hockey coach.

She then filled the same position at Ridley High School for six years.

Neary then made her return to the college ranks· last year when she was hired as Cabrini's first ever women's lacrosse coach.

During the summer, Neary was hired to also become the field hockey coach.

This year, she is still in the famifiar role of coach, but in a different sport.

Her husband feels that Jackie has truly found a home here at Cabrini.

''She seems more relaxed," Joe said. "She loves the group of girls and she really enjoys being around the team."

Jackie continua11y reminds the team to enjoy their college years.

She tells them to take advantage of their four years because they will have many experiences here that they will never have again.

"Being a student athlete is tough, but it can also be a lot of fun," Jackie said.

When Jackie is on the road with the team, Joe must find a way to entertain three young children.

With occasional help from Chuck E. Cheese, he gets by just fine.

"We can always find many fun things to do," Joe said.

When the team is playing at home, you will most likely find the Nearys on the sidelines cheering on their favorite team

and coach.

Joe added that the kids have a lot of fun while they are on campus because everyone is so nice to them.

They even enjoy eating in Cabrini's cafeteria.

"The students often come up to them and play games with them or just talk to them, which they really enjoy," Joe said.

Most of the team is familiar with Jackie's family.

Senior co.captain Chris Lear said that Joe and the children are always there to support the team.

The team itself has also benefited from Jackie's extensive knowledge of the sport.

"She has totally turned our team around," Lear said.

After a 3-0 victory over Eastern College on Monday, Oct 7, the Lady Cavs have improved their record to 4-2 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference.

They currently are in fourth place in the PAC and they will qualify for the playoffs if they continue to hold onto their spot.

It is no surprise that Jackie is a very positive force and that she also stresses teamwork.

In her own life she has seen what teamwork can accomplish. By bringing her life experiences onto the field, she has obviously changed the mindset of the

SCOREBOARD

team and their record reflects that.

"She is just a very inspiring and motivational person," Lear said.

Jackie is doing what she loves and the support that she receives is just icing on the cake.

Her family has allowed her to become a teacher as well as a role model.

"I definitely couldn't do it without them," Jackie said.

Throughout her marriage, Jackie has bad people there to support her.

For all coaches, it's important to win.

Jackie, however, already has.

Coach Jackie Neary's most impressive team is not the one that plays on the field, but the one she coaches at home.
