It was 1897 when Sister Ursula Infante, MSC, of Cabrini College entered the world. Now, one century later, the founding president of Cabrini College is celebrating her 100th birthday.
The celebration kicks off on Sunday, Feb. 9, at 11 a.m. in Cabrini's Bruckmann Chapel.
College president Dr. Antoinette Iadarola will welcome all visitors in the chapel.
Following will be a mass celebrated by Rev. Theodore E. McCarrick. The liturgy will consist of two readings, a homily. petitions, closing remarks and choir selections directed by Dr. Adeline Bethany, professor of fine arts and music.

The change, which will take place during the fall semester, will be more advanced than the current requirement and can be taken for tlrree credits.
by Danielle Murray staff writerThe computer science department has initiated a new core requirement that will take place in the fall of 1997 for new students.
This requirement replaces, for new students, the present computer information science re-quirements: word processing and spreadsheet or database.
The new course, Information Management and Technology, is a more advanced course that will have a prerequisite of the current skills courses.
This course will be worth three credits.
However, if a student does not have the prerequisite knowledge of word processing, spreadsheets and database or is not familiar with the internet, the student will have to take a course titled "Introduction to
Computing" be-fore taking the course to fulfill the requirement.
Thus, new students with little computer background will have to take six credits in CIS.
On Tuesday, Jan. 21, the fulltime faculty voted unanimously for the new computer requirement.
·'Cabrini College, as previewed through the internet, is one of the few colleges making the step toward computer advancement," Rocco Paolucci, chairperson of the computer science department, said. "We are the leading edge."
The new computer requirement will consist oflocating sources and analyzing and presenting information from the internet.
By the end of the course, students must be able to demonstrate competence in these skills to succeed in an information age society.
Students may preview the course in detail on Paolucci's web
page, located at this online address: http://www.netaxs.com/-paolucci/.
Also, upon completion of the course, students may also create their own web page.
Transfer students who have already taken a computer science course would need to demonstrate their skills.
There will be an assessment of the student's prior learning and whether or not it is suitable to the courses' requirement. The credits will then be given to the student, enabling them to bypass the course.
The core requirement is for new students who are starting in the fall of 1997. It does not affect current students.
"We are thinking beyond the technological shift. We are teaching students to use the digital information to exceed their boundaries." Paolucci said.
toast on Sister Ursula's behalf and then the presentation of Sr. Ursula's birthday cake will follow.
Robert D' Anjolell, chairperson for, the board of trustees, will then speak. Following this, Sister Ursula will make some comments.
After all remarks and comments, a video created by alumna Adrienne O'Brien will be shown depicting Sister Ursula's works at Cabrini. There will also be an invitation-only testimonial dinner for Sister Ursula on Friday, Feb. 28. Any faculty or staff wishing to go may call Gretchen Dingee in the development office at 902-8212.

Students who are not aware of Cabrini's recycling policy are not alone.
Campus offices that are supposed to recycle do not know what they are supposed to do.
Cabrjni is supposed to recycle office paper, cardboard and • aluminum.
Judy Fozo, manager of the food court, is not aware of any recycling policy on campus.
"I do not know of any office on campus that recycles office paper or aluminum. I am not aware of recycling in the past, either," Fozo said.
Pennsylvania state law requires each college to recycle at least three items.
The procedure for recycling at Cabrini involves three main steps.
The first is housekeeping picking up paper and cardboard from an outside location near
buildings such as the Widener Center and Grace Hall.
The next step involves a vendor taking recyclable materials to a dumpsite located in the Grace Hall parking lot.
The hauler, Browning Ferris Industries, then picks up the materials and relocate, them to a Conshohocken recycling center.
According to Mike Caranfa, chief facilities officer for physical plant, aluminum from the campus is only recycled two to three times a year at the recycling center due to the lack of storage space on campus.
Offices on campus can store recyclable paper in various forms of boxes or cans.
And the cardboard?
"They do not have to be conscious of cardboard because housekeeping knows where it goes," Caranfa said.
Offices on campus requiring exceptions to the three-step recycling agenda include the
library, which recycles paper by feeding it back into the printer, and the registrar, where most paper is shredded because its content is confidential.
But a small amount of recyclable material is left over in the library each day. What happens to this?
"I was under the impression that we were not recycling on campus at all. If Cabrini is, I'd be happy to do it," Karen Karlsen, assistant registrar, said.
According to Steve Murphy, facilities operations manager for physical plant, the dorms and housing on campus are not recycling as a result of lack of space.
Murphy would like to implement a more successful program on campus.
"The program can be expanded considerably. It can be better than it is and more organized," Murphy said.
Murphy attributes the lack of knowledge of Cabrini's recycling policy to the turnover of employees on campus.

Public Safety received a call from a House three resident stating that his car was sliding down the hill.
An officer found a green Ford Taurus on the hill to the right of the driveway.
The driver stated he was trying to tum around when the car slipped off the side of the driveway.
With the help of another officer, Public Safety managed to get the car off the hill without the use of
wooden planks.
While the car suffered no damage, there were tire tracks to the right of the driveway.

An unknown person ripped off an exit sign from the ceiling by the front door of House two.
Because the sign was not hanging low by wires, Public Safety taped the sign up.
Wires were left hanging from the ceiling.
Public Safety also found a half-can of beer thrown on the floor.

Star Wars comes back.
"Star Wars" led the box office this past weekend with a record January opening of $36.2 million over the weekend. The re-release is what fans of the trilogy have been waiting a long time for and it showed at the ticket office. Tickets were hard to come by on the 2,104 screens around the nation.
With the re-release of the movie that grossed over $300 million in its first release, "Star Wars" stands in a good position to gross nearly $450 million in total sales by the end of the month.
0 2/3 Clinton compromises tax cuts.
Time is running out for internet users who meander for hours without worrying about the bill.
In an associated press article, it was reported that flat-price plans allow on line lingering that leaves others with long waits for connections.
For some, particularly businesses that rely on e-mail, the tie-ups are intolerable.
Flat rates have already come and gone. Instead, internet access companies are charging more, even by the hour, but promising reliable connections.
Netcom Online Communications Service Inc. of San Jose, Calif., a pioneer of the flat-rate price, plans to announce a return to hourly rates next month.
Others, while still allowing unlimited usage, are charging double the going rate to keep lines open.
Consultants at the Gartner Group predict that in three years
the meter wilf be running for three-fourths of all internet service.
America Online (AOL), with 6.5 million members, just a month ago started offering a flat-rate, a step some blame for the current log jam.
The company says the pricing has been popular with its customers and that the company is upgrading its systems to handle the crush.
Still, a top executive at the Microsoft Network (MSN), which has about two million members, isn't making any long term promises.
MSN currently sees flatrates to continue to exist now and into the future, meaning about one year.

A spokesman for Netcom says that the company wants to service the small to mid-sized business user who cannot afford to not get their e-mail, who cannot afford not to get on the net and those who are willing to pay a premium price to ensure access to their accounts.
Zilker Internet Park, an Austin, Texas based internet service provider, offers its customers a flat-rate monthly fee, but at $39.95 instead of $19.95.
Expensive, but at that price the company can ensure customers that they will get more than a busy signal.
Flat rates can easily be a money loser for on line companies. At a cost of between 90 cents and $1.80 an hour to connect a user, internet providers who charge no more than $19 .95 a month start losing money after as little as 11 hours, according to an analyst at the Gartner Group.
The analyst said the average user is on line about 16 to 18 hours a month.

The feud over the admission of women to the Citadel, a formerly all-male military college in South Carolina, most recently resulted in the punishment of 11 upper-class male cadets on charges of hazing.
Student and staff reaction at neighboring Valley Forge Military Academy to the Citadel's decision to admit women was mixed. Student Jeff Sabatini, a sergeant major at Valley Forge Military Academy, thought that admitting women was controversial.
"If you put a female in an allmale environment, it changes the standards," Sabatini said.
On the other hand, Col. Rowe, dean of college students at Valley Forge Military Academy, reacted differently.
"It is the right decision. Public institutions have the right to educate all citizens," Rowe said.
The Citadel stands firmly behind its decision to integrate. General Clifton Poole, the acting president of the Citadel, sternly
addressed the corps on the determination of the college to integrate female students.
"I have told members of the corps in the simplest terms possible that the quickest way out of this college for anyone is to in a way behave in an inappropriate manner toward one of the female cadets," Poole said at a news conference.
This fall, four women, Kim Messer, Jeanie Mentavlos, Nancy Mace, and Petra Loventiska, became the first to be admitted into the corps, receive the Citadel haircut, wear their uniform, and recite the Citadel oath.
On Jan. 12, 1997, Mentavlos and Messer announced they would not return to the Citadel for the spring semester due to the embarrassing and humiliating hazing that took place.
Senior cadets washed out the women's mouths with cleanser and set their clothing on fire: Messer said she was ordered to drink a pitcher of tea each day for a week, which caused her to get sick. She also said she was made to assume a "degrading position" on a trash
can in another cadet's room. As she stood in formation, a male cadet rubbed his body against her, she said.
Rowe commented bow this is a demeaning process that serves no purpose.
Messer said, "When I became one of the first four female members of the corps of cadets at the Citadel, I was assured that I would be welcomed and given equal treatment.
"Unfortunately, this promise was broken by not only certain members of the corps, but by the Citadel's administration as well," Messer said.
A cadet captain at Valley Forge Military Academy, Luke Hightower, said, "They didn't get treated any differently than a male cadet would have."
Rowe refuses to believe that hazing has any place in the training of recruits.
"I am opposed to hazing in all forms. It doesn't build people," Rowe said.
"They think they have the license to act and not get pun-
ished," Rowe said.
Poole said that 26 women have mailed in applications for enrollment at the Citadel, and they are encouraged and supported to take further steps and continue their plans for enrollment.
Messer said the system is "humane and fair" in theory, but neither humane nor fair in reality.
"I think people are saying the whole Citadel's wrong, there's something wrong with the whole school, and it's not the case," said Bryant Butler, regimental commander of the corps, the top student leadership position. "But in any organization, in the Army, in government, there are going to be individuals who are going to do things wrong, and we're going to take steps to correct those things."
Major Mrs. Hood, associate professor of English and transfer adviser at Valley Forge Military Academy, summed up the accounts of the Citadel hazing.
"I am horrified, just as any woman who is following this whole case," Hood said. "I am appropriately disgusted."

The faculty art exhibit, which features the artwork of several faculty members from the fine arts department, will be displayed until Sunday, Feb. 23, in the fine arts gallery in the Holy Spirit Library.
by Michelle Burns assistant features editorThe faculty art exhibit, featuring the work of four Cabrini profes, sors, went unnoticed by the students, faculty and staff this past Thursday, Jan. 30.
Neil Patterson, adjunct, Cassandre Maxwell, lecturer of fine arts, Don Dempsey, assistant professor of graphic design, and Lisa Learner, adjunct, displayed some of their artwork, ranging from ceramics and web pages to pastels and oil paintings.
With such a variety, one would find it hard to say which piece was the best piece of art.
Some pieces reflected the forever growing information highway.
Dempsey created web pages using computer graphics and T-shirts for a Boilermaker Road Race. His web pages included photographs, which he took and developed himself. Other copyrighted photos needed to be cleared for usage. One photo taken by NASA cost approximately $ 100 to be used on a web page.
Learner submitted oil paintings that she created. The paintings are of places she has been and look more like actual photographs than paintings. Junior Mia Fitzgerald said these pictures were of places she had been before.
Except for Fitzgerald, who is an English and communication major, only studio art majors showed up for the exhibit. The students said the presentation was rushed and not appealing. There was no one there to greet people as they arrived. Refreshments were served, but they were hidden in the small study lounge adjacent to the gallery.
Aside from those few minor problems, the artwork could have made these errors go unnoticed. Other works done by Maxwell were pieces that may go into a children's book. Her work reflects the thoughts in a child's mind, combining reality and a fantasy world. Maxwell's work was done in pastels, which is a type of drawing instrument that creates a soft look. Maxwell's works looked real, almost as if they could move. One drawing was of her cat looking at a ladybug on a leaf. The cat was done in pastels. The rest of the
image was a collage.
Patterson's works of ceramics were original because he used no moldings. These works looked different from other ceramics in that there was no mold used. Unlike conventional ceramics, which are made with a mold, his ceramics had a more free style and looked handmade. He chose tones that created a sandy color in some pieces.
The poor publicity and small turnout for the faculty art exhibit was an example of people failing to witness greatness

Conf.usion filled my head when I watched "Star Wars" the first few times, particularly during the memorable dogfight between the Rebels and Imperials inside the Death Star. But now it is crystal clear, thanks to technology and the silver screen.
A long time ago, George Lucas imagined a world full of Jedis, Wookies and droids. He wrote "Star Wars" with particular scenes and images in his mind. He went even further by revolutionizing the motion picture industry, but still he never had the budget to produce his dream, to expose people to his world. Twenty years later, finally, it is the way George Lucas wanted it to be.
On Friday, Jan. 31, 1997, Lucas' "Star Wars: The Special Edition" was released in movie theaters across the country. I was there, opening night, experiencing the greatest space opera of all time. With a large Pepsi in my left hand and a bucket of popcorn in my right, I occupied one seat of the sold-out theater. A theater that cheered when the room went dark, but was suddenly silenced once the words, "A Long Time Ago ..." rode up the screen.
I was only a newborn when the original was released, and have been exposed to the video throughout my life. But I was experiencing the movie like it should be: big screen, with per-
fected sound and picture quality along with never before seen footage.
A $15 million dollar facelift remastered the movie which featured more creatures in the desert of Tattoine, digitally implanted, and a memorial scene between Jabba the Hutt and Han Solo. The crimelord was not the slimy, wormlike creature we
over four minutes of material along with visual and audio restoration of the master, worth the six bucks? Absolutely.
The movie was a masterpiece on video. On the big screen and restored, it is better. It is the way it should have been 20 years ago.
The film grossed $36.2 million, making it the top January opener in movie history. It was also the ninth highest threeday opener in box office history.
The re-issued '77 classic is the first restored of the trilogy. "Empire Strikes Back," the second film will be in theaters, restored, on Feb. 21 and ·•Jedi" will follow on March 7.

were introduced to in Lucas' third installment of "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi." The original shot was of Harrison Ford (Han Solo) and a human incarnation or' Jabba. The scene was cut 20 years ago, but has been redone. What we see is the '70s version of Ford with a computer-generated Jabba.
The Luke Skywalker-led battle climax was much more clear, as was the rest of the movie. It looked less like a science fiction film and more like real life, the life Lucas wanted us to see.
So the question arises, is the expensive facelift, including
Lucas originally wrote "Star Wars" as a nine-act play. He only had the money to produce one act, so he started in the middle with Episode IV. "Star Wars: (Episode IV) A New Hope" was followed by "Empire" and "Jedi" (Episodes V and VI). In 1999 Lucas will release the prequel, Episodes I, II and Ill.
These movies will feature the relationship between Ben "ObiWan" Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, the rise of Darth Vader and the Imperial army, and the fall of the Old Republic.
The restoration of the originals will amuse us for awhile, but lack of patience will fill us as we anxiously await the prequels.
But in the words of Obi-Wan, " ...we will learn patience."

SU: "I met Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini during my grammar school days at St. Charles School in Brooklyn. I was fourteen. Later on, she invited the officers of the Parish Sodalities to see her at Columbus Hospital in New York City and it was then that she asked me what were my plans for the future. I told her I wanted to join her order. Mother Cabrini asked me if I had my parents' permission. I told her that I was an only child and my parents would never let me go. She told me that I had to wait until I turned eighteen and then I could join without my parents' permission. I guess she .knew American laws. I loved Mother Cabrini. She was very approachable and I was ready to receive her answers."
DG: Why did you decide to join her order?
SU: "I decided to enter her order because I liked the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I enjoyed their friendship and admired their work, both spiritually and materially. And since I wanted to work for God and His people, I chose the Missionary 1977Elvis dies and
Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus."
DG: What made you decide to open a college in honor of Mother Cabrini?
SU: "I didn't decide to open a college. That decision was made by the Superior General, Mother Antonietta Della Casa, Mother Cabrini's successor. She asked me to look into the matter of starting a college, and when I saw the Dorrance Estate, which belonged to the Campbell Soup Company owners, up for sale, I knew that would be a suitable location. Mr. Leo Mc Manu;, negotiated for its purchase, and I took over from that point."
DG: What is your secret to a long life?
SU: "I don't think there's a secret to a long life. If we live properly, physically and spiritually, we will be ready when God calls us.''
DG: What are some things you like to do?
SU: "I wish I had a job. I miss being busy. I like reading. I like to play 500 Rummy with Sister Eleanor. I mostly watch the news and I like detective stories."
1996 -
The issue at hand is one of equality_of sexes.
Last fall, four females were admitted to the Citadel, which is a United States military institute. Come springtime, two of the ladies decided not to return, citing various types of harassment as their reasons.
Being a federal institution of course, this means it is funded by federal tax dollars. At last check, the government of the United States of America did not support sexual discrimination. It is strongly suspected that the intolerance of the females by male cadets and the administration of the Citadel, is what led to the early departure of the aspiring cadets.
As an officer at Valley Forge Military Academy so eloquently put it, " public institutions have the right to educate all citizens." As things currently stand there are no allfemale military institutions, so the existence of an a11-male military school is simply not right.
As was decided in Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, separate but equal is not tolerable. So, the answer is not to open an all-female institution.
Integration, on the other hand, is the answer. We are all human beings, and if grown men cannot modify their behavior for the sake of fellow humans, then they do not have the right to be called men or serve in the U.S. Army.
It has been said that the women who left were weak because they could not take the same kind of treatment, also known as hazing, that other first-year cadets were subjected to. Guess what, fellows? They are not men and they do not deserve to be treated as such.
It seems very likely that if a bunch of guys would wash out a woman's mouth with cleanser, that sexual assault would not be too far down the road, or at the very least, a strong concern of a woman considering attending the Citadel.
We can consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to know a woman as wonderful as Sister Ursula Infante, MSC. The most felicitous aspect of my tenure here at Cabrini College has been my singular opportunity to meet and know such a devout, caring, saintly and down-to-earth woman.
Sister Ursula embodies the characteristics of a great leader, a great thinker and a great humanitarian. Her life and her work serve as a paradigm of strength and virtue.
As we celebrate her centennial birthday, I know that I am grateful to be witness to such a special event.
Cabrini College is celebrating the 100th birthday of its founding president and a 40th anniversary in the same year. When one considers that two such important events will most likely never coincide again, planning for these events takes on another dimension. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let us all come together to enjoy this blessing.
Of course, the highlight and focal point for all of our celewO~
bration is the beautiful and very special Sister Ursula. She was born Anna Lawrence Infante in New York City in February 1897. As a young girl, Anna had the chance to meet Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, our namesake saint.
In 1915, when Anna decided to follow a religious vocation, she chose the name Sister Ursula Infante and Saint Frances Cabrini was by her side, encouraging her, offering guidance. It seems that this set Sister Ursula on a path that was destined to be great.
Sister Urrnla's education is quite impressive in itself. She has degrees in science and pharmacy, and worked in education for 33 years before coming to Radnor and founding Cabrini College in 1957.
For IO years Sister Ursula led the college with her strength and wisdom, and indeed set Cabrini College on a path to its current successes.
Sister Ursula has assured the legacy of Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini by translating her numerous correspondences from Italian to English, and if you
by Dr.
Antoinette Iadarolacollege president
visit the Cabriniana room on the second floor of Holy Spirit Library, you can see the result of Sister Ursula's efforts.
The intellectual and spiritual contributions Sister Ursula has made to Cabrini College will live on as her special legacy for the next 40 years and far beyond.
Sister Ursula has touched many lives over the past 100 years, and it is so wonderful to know that she still maintains the relationships she forged with students, staff and faculty 40 years ago. She even hired some of the faculty still at Cabrini. Anyone will tell you that Sister Ursula literally lights up any room she enters. We are fortunate to have such a source of energy among us now.
Over the next few months, whenever we see Sister Ursula here on campus, let us of course offer her a resounding "Happy Birthday," but let us also take time to thank her for all she has given us. Without Sister Ursula, there would be no 40th Anniversary celebration and there certainly would be a lot less light in the world.
In the past few weeks e-mail has become available to the entire campus community. In such a short time, students have been cliecking and sending messages as if they have been doing it for years.
Before e-mail's arrival, however, students were already invading the computer lab and other personal computers to gain entry into one of the internet's most populated and interesting sites: the chat room.
Depending on how you look at them, they can be a source for bringing the world together, giving attention .to those who are lonely, saying things we would never say in public, or just killing time.
While some see chat rooms as a place for fake personas and empty, playful jargon, for others, its pitfalls are all too real in the sense that chat rooms can, and do, destroy lives.
"Mary" makes her living out of her home as a typist. Eventually one of Mary's employers found a way for her to transmit her transcripts into a database by way of a modem rather than having her physically deliver the documents.
Mary, along with her husband, "Joe," who was anxious to get on the information superhighway, now had an excuse to get on line.
As time progressed, Mary noticed that she was seeing less and less of Joe. His desire to get on line must have been genuine, for he was, all night, every night, on the net.
On one of these occasions Mary checked in on Joe, only to find him on an adults only chat line. While Joe felt anger and embarrassment with Mary's discovery, she felt only anger.
Mary would also eventualJy learn that Joe had been talking to one particular woman in the room for several months.
In an effort to calm Mary and
the situation, Joe persuaded Mary to try the chat room with him, claiming that it would be a turnon. Mary did. Weeks later she herself had found a "cyberlover" on the same chat room. Her relationship. with her on line partner became so personal and deep that she did not want Joe being there with her.
Around this time Joe began to change. He began to listen to country music and bad his ear pierced.
I am not saying these are bad things, it is just that he was not being himself.
At night, and in particular on the weekends, Mary would continue to enhance her relationship with the man through the computer.
Joe would now leave the information superhighway and get on another highway, literal. ly, telling Mary that he was going to country dances, conventions and shows for the weekend. Mary now feels that this was an attempt by Joe to meet his "cyber-lover."
As the months progressed, Mary and Joe decided to purchase a second computer complete with a separate account and phone line.
After their two daughters were tucked into bed every night, they would settle into their respective terminals and relationships. They positioned the terminais back to back, facing each other, but they could not see the other's screen.
It has now reached the point where every week the couple finds themselves in marriage counseling. They both claim that the person on the computer knows them better than each other. The last I heard, the possibility of separation is becoming all the more real.
While most may think this true and sensational story is only fit for a talk show, the fact is that this type of scenario is
by Paul Monte news editorbecoming more common and real.
This situation shows that those married with children, along with those who are lonely, can get into a jam on the net. Sure, most of us look to chat rooms for simple conversation or to see what others think. Small talk is now a worldwide practice.
Sometimes we may even feel for someone in a room. However, good intentions may have drastic consequences, such as the Howard Eskin case where the Philadelphia sports radio personality sent roses and email to a woman he met in a chat room.
The woman, Marlene Stumpf of Pottstown, was allegedly murdered by her husband, Ray, who went into a jealous rage upon learning of the roses and his wife's on line conversations .
Sixty-two percent of respondents to a survey done in chat rooms by newsgroups said they had an "intimate" relationship with someone they met on line. The word "intimate," however, is open to interpretation.
My point is that while most cyber conversations and relationships are harmless, the chat room has shown us how a cold, impersonal mediator of a computer has become a substitute for the human touch.
People can engage in anything from mild banter to cybersex. With an estimated 40-50 million people on line, surely one will find someone who w·ill be listening.
The chat room is a chance for us to put on masks and place a facade that allows us to communicate in a way that makes us immune to heartbreak and fear.
If we could be as understanding, truthful, honest, romantic and personal with those who are already in our Jives, how different would this world be?
The college has proposed a schedule change that will have some introductory level courses meet three days a week instead of two. How would this change affect you?
Liz Brister, a senior: I think the schedule change would be good for classes like language or math, which require repetition. I think that breaking up the time for classes such as philosophy or English would do a great disservice to students' process of learning.
Joe Devlin, a sophomore: Since the time is the same in a week, I think it would keep me on track more. I had Spanish three times a week last year and I liked it
Marni DiGiorgio, a sophomore: Since I am just about finished with my core, it won't really affect me. But I know there are other education majors who will be affected by the new schedule.
Ray Matzelle, registrar and assistant dean for student academic services: It will affect the registrar's office very little. It is a standard class format and probably the majority of schools in the United States do it. It is better to have classes for five days and break for two days.
Kevin Lally, a junior: It's going to deny me the ability to sleep the few hours I am still able to.
Jennifer Delaney, a junior: With a four day week, it is more convenient for me to work the weekends and still have an extra day off to study.
As the committee responsible for planning the 100th birthday of Cabrini College's founding president was deliberating the format of the celebrations in her honor, we shared many stories about Sister Ursula Infante, MSC. It's hard to imagine all that this revered and beloved Missionary Sister has witnessed, experienced and affected during the course of her lifetime. In attempting to compose the wording for her birthday invitations the committee struggled how to adequately capture the vitality of this woman and the significance of this particular moment in time.
Finally, it was Kevin Thompson, of the College Relations office, who expressed it _J,o well: "She has walked with a SAINT, founded a COLLEGE and witnessed the breath of an entire CENTURY." Indeed. And much, much in addition. As with St. Frances X. Cabrini, everything Sister Ursula has undertaken in her life has been for the service of others. All she has accomplished she has done well, humbly and for the love and honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
One need only spend a small amount of time in the company of this remarkable centenarian to gain a sense of the spunk and determination that define her character. Though her gait may have slowed a bit at 100, her clear blue eyes and easy smile reveal a woman of great wisdom, faith and inner strength.
Anna Lawrence Infante was received into the order of the Missionary Sisters by Mother Frances Cabrini herself and was given the religious name, Ursula. Th.e-j'car--was1915. World War I was raging. In a time when few women were able to continue their studies beyond eighth grade or high school, Sister Ursula studied chemistry and went on to become a registered pharmacist. She spent many years teaching at Mother Cabrini High School in New York City, eventually
becoming the principal. Women who attended Mother Cabrini High School speak fondly of their teacher recalling her demanding, yet kind approach to education. She sought only the very best from and for "her girls."
Respect and affection ran so deeply for Sister Ursula that when in the 1950s she was asked by her superior to "go found a college" many of her students from Mother Cabrini High School followed her to Radnor, Pennsylvania, to form the core of the first graduating class of Cabrini College.
The road to founding that college was not without its difficulties. The hierarchy in the Philadelphia archdiocese was not sure that there was a need for another Catholic college in the area - there being seven already in existence - and did not encourage the Missionary Sisters' plans for the former Dorrance estate, Woodcrest.
Undaunted, Sister Ursula made the rounds of the area Catholic college presidents and enlisted their support. In the end, the diocese acquiesced and Cabrini College opened its doors in September 1957. At the age of 60, when many others are contemplating their retirement, Sister Ursula had rallied other colleges and universities to her cause, hired a faculty and staff, recruited incoming classes and transformed a former estate into a residential college of liberal arts and sciences for women.
Sister Ursula, like St. Cabrini, felt that education was the means for women to lead and take their rightful place in the world.
In the 1950s and 60s, for those women fortunate enough to undertake college study, options were far more limited than they are today. Teaching and nursing were the primary career paths. Yet, Sister Ursula always told "her girls" they could be anything they wanted to be if they worked hard to achieve their goals.
Today, these women speak
by Nancy Costello mission integrationwith affection of the mentor and guide they found in Sister Ursula. They describe her as a veritable whirlwind of energy who could be found everywhere on campus. Many recall skipping classes and having Sister Ursula track them down in their rooms suggesting they quickly change their minds and attend. Truly, she believed opportunities for learning were not to be wasted.
Sister Ursula Infante guided Cabrini College as inaugural president until the early fall of 1967. It happened to be the year I entered Cabrini as a freshman. I shall never forget my first encounter with her. My class (all 94 of us) bad been asked to gather in the Sacred Heart Hall gym. There, we found neat rows of packets containing requisite student items such as copybooks, pens, course catalogs, chapel veils and rosaries.
We, assuming they were for us, helped ourselves to the packets and continued milling about. All of a sudden a crisp, no-nonsense voice rang out, "Young ladies, I will thank you to put those items back! You will learn that at Cabrini College, ladies wait until they are instructed what to do." We had just met the formidable Sister Ursula.
In seeing her at that moment, one would never have suspected her age, which by then was 70. Her energy undiminished, her term of office as president, nonetheless, had drawn to a close and she was returning to Rome where she was to continue her service as a missionary sister.
The send off from the college was a grand farewell with balloons, bouquets and music. It had only been a few weeks since our first encounter and as freshmen, and we could scarcely comprehend the magnitude of her leaving campus, yet, somehow we knew Cabrini College would always retain the spirit and vision of this risk-taking and faith-filled woman.
In regards to the article on the tricaptains printed last week, we are appalled by the lack of respect shown by the Loquitur's editors and staff towards the N basketball program. The quote "meaningless N games" was written by James Kuhn, who obviously has little understanding of sports and the pride that comes with being on a team. It is also clear that the Loquitur staff has no respect for N athletes because the coverage of the team has been non-existent, including no listings of N games. We conclude that the Loquitur would rather give their amateur opinion on professionalsports teams then cover all of Cabrini's sports. The last time
we checked, neither the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers nor Sixers ever represented Cabrini College. As members of the N team, we workjust as hard as the varsity team and we take our team seriously. We demonstrate our dedicationdaily when we attend practices beginning as early as 8 a.m. and some that finish as late as 1 a.m. We think that the comment should be retracted and an apology given to the 15 dedicated players and Coach Rowe. We also suggest that anyone who thinks that N basketball is "meaningless" should strap on a set of sneakers and come sweat with us, and see how "meaningless" it really is. We guarantee they would change their mind.

The gym inside Sacred Heart Hall has served as the home court for the Cavs and Lady Cavs, but now there is a new team calling Cabrini's basketba11court home.
The Philadelphia Warriors, a new minor league team, announced a 12 game schedule on Thursday, Jan. 16, 1997 and plans to use Cabrini as their home court.
Joe Kravitz, managing general partner of the Warriors and a Cabrini ·graduate feels that Cabrini's court will be good because of the suburban area and with a smaller court it is more likely to have every seat filled.
Three former Cabrini graduates are part of the new minor league team. Cabrini's all-time leading scorer in men's basketball, Billy Carr, will be playing forward for the team while bis sister, Patti Carr, will be an assistant coach. Also, Cabrini graduate Tom Newnam will be playing center for the Warriors.
Kravitz hopes the Cabrini community will come out to see and support both Carrs and Newnam.
James Parham is the head
coach for the Warriors and Robert DeShields is the general manager.
Kravitz said, as managing general, you wear all the hats from group sales to players issues."
Kravitz said he is responsible for most of the off-court activity.
In the first year of the league, many areas are hoping to be developed. This is a chance for the players to get a feel of a professional team and allow them to , advance to the next level.
Kravitz emphasized the size of the court and that a full small court is better than an empty large court.
"This is a highly competitive market and we will be happy to see the stands filled at Cabrini." Kravitz said.
The Warriors are thankful that Coach John Dzik, athletic director, and the men's and women's team have welcomed them into the Cabrini community. The Warriors next home game will be on Friday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.
The Warriors opened their season on Saturday, Feb. l, with a 118-113 victory over the Lancaster Storm.
The craving for the perfect body affects countless Americans each year, as men desire to play sports like the professional athletes they see on television and women strive to look like supermodels. People want to look like the perfect male or female_depicted by the society in which they live.
Genetics may not allow this to occur, so they turn to a helping hand. For many, this helping hand is the use of anabolic steroids. Steroids are manufactured hormones of testosterone, which the body produces naturally itself. But while the average testosterone level created in the body is about 2.5 to 11 milligrams per day,. steroids cause the count to soar to over l 00 milligrams created within a 24-hour period.
Many students and athletes.
both at Cabrini and at other colleges, have found themselves quickly addicted to steroids, even after only a few uses.
"Last year, I had been working out and taking the quick builder shakes from GNC [General Nutrition Center]; but I was looking for something that would increase mass and power even faster," said a student named "John."
"I truly did not know what I was getting into. My lifting partner had informed me about this 'new vitamin' that would increase power and strength without any side effects. I started taking those 'vitamins' in April of '96 and was using for about three months," John said. "In August of that same year I went to the doctor. I had gained 25 pounds in that time and had a lot of the symptoms of a typical steroid user. Two weeks later, I got a call from my doctor telling me that they had done some tests
on what I had been taking and they had a growth hormone in them."
The symptoms the doctor cited included serious mood swings and a severe acne breakout which covered his back. His appetite, as well as his metabolism, increased and he experienced increasingly frequent headaches.
"It got the job done, though. I had doubled what I had been benching in only a couple of weeks," John said.
Many athletes who have gone on to the professional level have also experienced the pressures of using steroids in college. Lyle Alzado, who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, played professionally after using steroids throughout college. In those years, his only goal was to get bigger and to win football games. He finally made it into the pros-in fact, not only did he make it, but he has been named by several coaches as one of the best defensive players
of all time. He used steroids throughout his professional career and retired without his secret being discovered.
Upon retirement, he began to feel the depressions that most athletes feel after leaving a sport they have strived to succeed in all of their lives. In the early '90s, he tried to return the sport, but knew that he could not do it by himself. He needed the support of the steroids that had helped him through those rough, physical days.
However, his return was abruptly ended by injuries. Alzado again disappeared into the shadows with those who had ended their careers before him.
Alzado reappeared in 1991, when the world found out that he had brain cancer due to the heavy use of steroids throughout his life. An emotional Alzado broke down in front of cameras, pleading to the youth of America not to follow
in his footsteps. "Do not make the mistakes that I have. The overall consequences are not worth the short term benefits," Alzado said.
But it was too late for Alzado. He died the next year, but before his death, he became one of the biggest advocates for changing the popular views of steroids and the misconception many young athletes held of them.
During Alzado's career, no one worried about his steroid use. No one knew that he was breaking down his body as he was building it up. However, for John, the dangers of steroids were caught in enough time to make a difference in his life. For many others, it is too late. This hypocritical drug has claimed the Iives of many athletes and those of many others who seek the perfect body. But with continued support for antisteroid laws and drug testing in professional and amateur sports, the destruction can be ended.
Can you believe that our Stanley Cup champions-to-be, the Philadelphia Flyers, lost to the New York Rangers on Saturday?
Well, you and I might believe it, but some so-called fans cannot.
Although the Flyers thoroughly outplayed the Rangers, they were beaten, thanks to the spectacular goaltending of Mike Richter and some great individual plays by players such as center Mark
Messier.
However, judging from the reaction of some of the fans I heard on the radio that night. you would have thought the Flyers were in last place instead of first place.
During the Flyers 17-game unbeaten streak, all you heard was that the Flyers were one of the best teams ever and how they were going to win the Stanley Cup.
Suddenly, the Flyers began to play good hockey instead of great hockey after their streak ended.
After the Flyers took a 2-1 lead over the Rangers, it looked like they would skate to victory. However, the Rangers fought back to take a 4-2 victory over the Flyers.
I, like many other Flyer fans, was disappointed that the Flyers lost.
However, I also realized the Flyers and every other team in the Nlil., have games where they ·outshot a team 41-17 and still lose. While listening to the radio, I heard fans calling for goalie Ron Hextall's head and complaining about the Flyers lack of leadership, among many other things.Ron Hextall had a bad game. He knows that as much as everyone else. However, I wonder if these fans remember that Hextall is among the league leaders in wins and goals against average.
The fan who complained about the Flyers lack of leadership placed
the blame solely on the shoulders of center Eric Lindros.
Do you think Lindros would have scored a second goal if only he had showed more leadership? I doubt it.
The Flyers bandwagon, which was full a few weeks ago, has probably lost a couple of people because of their loss to the Rangers.
Some fans have to lighten up and look at the big picture.
The Flyers are currently in first place in their division and the only team with a better record are the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Colorado Avalanche.
Although the score did not indicate it, the Flyers are bigger,
stronger, younger, and most importantly, better than the Rangers.
The Flyers were able to outplay the Rangers despite the fact they were missing key players such as Dale Hawerchuck, Petr Svoboda, and Karl Dykhius.
The Flyers are one of the top four teams in the Nlil., and they will be major Stanley Cup contenders come playoff time.
However, some fans have to realize the Flyers will lose games like they did against the Rangers and they might even hit a skid where they lose four or five games in a row.
If that happens, you can be sure the Flyers bandwagon will lose a few more members.

The recruiting process is never a guarantee. Despite the fact that coaches evaluate all of the avail-
able talent, they do not know exactly what they will get from a particular player come regular season.
In TimAnderlonis, a first-year forward, Coach John Dzik got
everything he wanted and a whole lot more.
Anderlonis has already been recognized twice for his skills by being named Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week. ·'It is nice to be recognized but it isn't fair to just give it to me. The team has a lot to do with it and they should get the recognition, too. We play together. That's what counts," Anderlonis said.
The basketball team is happy for him and they joke around about it. Overall, they just want Anderlonis to keep helping them out.
Anderlonis chose Cabrini because of tradition. '·Cabrini has always been good in basketball in the past. This was a good choice and it is close to home too," Anderlonis said.
"The most difficult thing to adjust to this year is trying to fit in on the team and have the players accept me. since I am the only freshman on the team," Anderlonis said.
Anderlonis was flattered to be chosen for varsity this year as a first-year student. "It gets awkward at times because it is hard to know your position as a player," he said. However, the team has accepted him as one of their own and have no problem with the age difference.
"The basketball program at Cabrini is fun to be in and Dzik is a great coach. It is fun to play
under him," Anderlonis said.
Anderlonis is a criminal justice major and hopes to have a government job when he gets out of school. "I either want to be a United States marshall or customs officer," Anderlonis said.
Besides practicing every night and having games three times a week, Anderlonis maintained a 3.7 GPA last semester. He says this semester is harder because his time has to be divided between school, basketball and a social life.
"It is rewarding when you keep up," Anderlonis said.
His main goal is winning the PAC and currently the goal is attainable. Right now, the Cavaliers are 7-2, which places them in first place in the PAC.
"Next month is going to be hard because of the PAC games," Anderlonis said. "We want to keep winning because the more wins you get, the more times you get to host games at home during the PAC playoffs."
Until last year, Anderlonis attended Monsignor Bonner High School. ''The transition from high school to college was difficult because you don't know what to expect. After a while you gel used to it," Anderlonis said.
Anderlonis has partly filled the shoes of Billy Carr, a graduate of the class of 1996. Not only do they share the same number, 32, but both attended Bonner, play the same position and are good out-
side shooters.
When Dzik recruited Anderlonis, he knew he was a good player. However, Anderlonis has exceeded expectations in terms of quality of play. "He has made the transition from high school to college much easier then I expected," Dzik said. As far as Anderlonis being as great a player as Billy Carr was, Dzik is not sure.
"It is hard to say. It is a good goal to be as great a player as Carr, but Billy and Tim are different players," Dzik said. "I think he will measure up to Billy, but it is a lot to expect from a freshman who has only played 15 games. I knew Tim was a good player, but I wasn't looking for another Billy Carr. Instead, I hope Tim Anderlonis lives up to everything Tim Anderlonis can be."
Anderlonis has started in every game, quite an accomplishment for a first-year student.
As far as Anderlonis having the same number as Carr, "It is a coincidence. Tim knew of Billy's success. If Tim wants to mirror Billy's success. that's fine. or if he wants to surpass bis skills, that is great too. But as far as the number goes, 32 has always been good in our line-up," Dzik said.
Anderlonis said there is a significance to him that they both have the same number. "He was such a great player. It's a standard to try to live up to," Anderlonis said.

editorIt was a destructive week for the Lady Cavs, as two members of the women's basketball team broke records, one long-standing and the other personal, on Tuesday, Jan. 28.
Senior Megan Dillon made history Tuesday night by becoming the all-time women's basketball rebound leader.
Teammate sophomore Melissa Posse made personal
history by scoring a career high of 43 points.
Just one week after joining the 1,000-point club, Dillon is now on top of the rebound chart in Cavalier basketball history.
Dillon broke the previous record of 810 career rebounds set by Karl Sartor in 1987.
Dillon's record, however, was just one of the records set this season.
It was a momentous Tuesday night for Posse, as well, as she collected 43 points, 17 rebounds, five blocked shots and eight steals. In fact, Posse almost single-handedly outscored the entire Eastern squad.
Posse scored an all-time high
43-point record in the Cavs' 90-47 rout of Eastern College.
The team is blessed with the dual combination of Dillon and Posse, two of the best players in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC). Posse is second in scoring in the conference and Dillon is the leader in assists.
Posse provides a dominant force in the middle, and Dillon is a strong leader and rebounder on whom the Cavs depend for victory after victory.
While Posse is the leading scorer, she says Dillon is the one who does all the dirty work for the team. "She's definitely the team leader. To me, it does-
n't matter how many points I score as long as we win," Posse said.
It seems as if the team's two losses in the PAC and the prospects of advancing far into the NCAA Division III tournament have really given motivation to the Lady Cavs.
Their hard work and determination are both paying off with astonishing record-breaking numbers that continue to increase.
Without a doubt, Posse will be setting more records before she leaves Cabrini.
The team outplays almost every opponent they face and will be hard to conquer come
NCAA tournament time.
However, the team has fallen short the previous two years and will have to perform in this year's tournament to get the proverbial "postseason monkey" off of their backs.
The success of the team rests squarely on the shoulders of their two superstars. It seems this team lives and dies with the play of the two forces for the Lady Cavs.
With Posse's and Dillon's continued record-shattering play and the support of other PAC-leading players, the team seems destined for victory in the playoffs.
After suffering many blowout losses to Cabrini over the past <;.! three years, the Eastem men ·s basictbaJI team sat on the brink of their first victory over the Cavs in several years with just under seven minutes to play in the game.
Cabrini called a timeout with just minutes to go and the Eastern

play~rs ran towards their bench jumping up and down as their fans cheered wildly.
However. from that point on. the rest of the night belonged to Cabnni.
After the timeout, the Cavs regained their fonn and took a one-point lead after back-to-back three-pointers by first-year student and forward Tim Anderlonis and sophomore guard Sean Tait.
With Just under one minute left
in the game, the Cavs continued to lead by one point. However. senior forward Ken Skitek converted a rebound to increase the Cavs' lead to three points. They went on to win, 76-69.
Expect the unexpected when the ball is in Anderlonis' hands. With the score tight throughout the game. the only thing that could keep Eastern at bay was l 0 rebounds, five of seven from three-point land. and 23 point<; from Anderlonis.
The game started with an array of three-pointers made from both teams. The Cavs netted five from Anderlonis. three from Tait and two by senior point guard John Watson. while Eastern 's three shots were made by starting guards Craig Van Demark and Marcus Saunders.
With Eastern appearing hesitant to take the ball inside. the Cavs· defense focused on the outside game. They still, however. had problems because of the amount of three-pointers and long jumpers that were falling for Eastern. Cabrini answered by overpowering the Eagles on the boards, 36 to 23.
'They played us hard and fast, but we were able to get the power we needed on the inside to win," sophomore forward Cory Miller said.
The "young guns," Tait and Anderlonis, accounted for 42 of the team's 76 points. Both shot over 50 percent from the field.
Coach John Dzik finally has the team playing like they have been together for years. when in reality it has only taken them a little over three months to assume first place in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, holding a record of9-2 and an overall record of 11-6.
"It feels good to win on a consistent basis again,'' sophomore guard Derrick Grayson said. Grayson sparked the Cavs with six straight fast break points after coming off the bench. Backup center Randall Sims, a sophomore, also had a notable game, grabbing seven boards and five points off the bench.
