Tuesday, Nov. A, was quite an event.. College President Dr. Antoinette_ Iadarola served up sausages, Mother Teresa received an award posthumously and workshops were given throughout the day on topics such as volunteerlsm, diversity and ecology. And if that wasn't enough, there was even a costumed nun. Confused? Read about it here.

Fire in their hearts spread joy around world

by Dina Tartaglia managing editor

Two small women with one enormous task to spread the fire within their hearts.

They were both called at a young age to carry out this task, but needed to patiently wait to spread that fire within themselves to others.

One was sent to India, while the other to New York. But even thovgh they way not have known each other and they were oceans apart. the love of their mission carried them through years of service.

That service was recognized by the Cabrini community at the Cabrini Award ceremony on Cabrini Day, Nov. 4.

With a heartfelt production of Mother Cabrini, Midge Miles, a self.-employed actress, brought to life the true spirit of Cabrini Day. Miles, dressed in a black and white order, spoke with an Italian accent. She called for the zeal within the community. This is the same zeal that drove Mother Cabrini to· become a missionary. The same zeal found in Mother Teresa that drove

her to India to help raise up the poor from poverty.

'The mission never changed. It continues to be," Miles said.

Sister M. Roberta, a Missionary Sister of Charity in Norristown, accepted the Cabrini Award for Mother Teresa. She accepted it in the name of the poor as Mother Teresa always did.

"We need to follow the same path in our lives. We need to realize where it is coming from-the same place as Mother Cabrini," Sister Roberta said.

Sister Roberta was accompanied by Sister M. Sabita, M.C. who are both from the Missionary Sisters of Charity convent in Norristown, Pa. They perform many tasks in Nonistown including bible classes, CCD classes and also operating two houses, one of which is for people with AIDS.However, their order is not as small as one may think.

Today, the Missionary Sisters of Charity hiwe over 3,000 sisters in 87 different countries.

"Mother was called by God to give a special message," Sister RQberta said.

In addition to the sisters there are

In the spirit of Cabrini's mission statement, five members of Dr. Jerome Zurek's, communications department chair, Introduction to Mass Media class developed and presented a workshop on the environment for Cabrini Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4.

In an effort to heighten awareness in this area, Alison Briant, Karen Erb, Erika Jungreis, Heather King, and Samara O'Shea, anticipated the growth of the previously established Ecology Club on campus.

There was expert assistance from motivational speakers, Randy Pomponio. the director of chemical and waste management, and Diana Escher, deputy director of environmental sciences, of the Environmental Protection Agency.

In addition, there was an interactive trivia game with a grand

many volunteers from the neighborhoods and parishes who donate their service and work 'toward the message of Mother Teresa.

Cabrini Day was set aside to reveal a message about openness to others. Midge Miles, portraying Mother Cabrini, called for that openness to accept others.

"Be open. Be aware. Be a champion and you can make a difference," Miles said.

Mother Teresa's mission of service can be exemplified at Cabrini.

"The mission of this college is one that keeps the mission of the institute alive on this earth-service," Miles said.

In addition to the Cabrini Award presented in the honor of Mother Teresa, the Charles A Mastronardi Service and Leadership Award was presented to students who donated their service and leadership to Cabrini and their communities. Those students, including seniors Andrew Burke, Teresa McFadden, Felicia Miccoli, Lisa Mininno and junior Yolanda Lazier, received a medal of honor and a $1,000 award.

"My heart opens and sings a song of joy," Miles said as she

paced the stage impersonating Mother Cabrini. She said she looks down from heaven and smiles at \.\'hat the members of the Cabrini community are doing.

Whether working with the immigrants in the United States or the poorest of the poor in Calcutta, India, both Mother Teresa and

Mother Cabrini represent the message of Cabrini Day, one of openness and community spirit.

Mother Teresa and Mother Cabrini were teachers. They taught the message that enflamed their hearts for others to learn and accept. "Learning is about doing," Miles said.

prize of $20 donated in the winners name to Greenpeace. This workshop proved a great success.

Pomponio and Escner both work for the EPA

They delivered a comical and informative speech V{hich insp_iredthe 35 students and teachers in attendance.

Students entered room 203 in Founder's Hall to find the answers to the questions surrounding the topic of conflict resolution.

Forty-three students appeared on Tuesday, Nov. 4 to listen to Dr. Andy King, director of counseling, discuss the issues on conflict resolution as a Cabrini Day workshop.

King proceeded to hit on different topics such as conflict and mediation. He also went in depth on dif-

ferent issues to focus on when trying to resolve a conflict.

King also gave several handouts to the students containing tactics on conflict resolution and different, helpful hints for mediators.

"One of the purposes of the counseling center is to be a pro-,active resource for the campus community," King said.

"Going through college is a huge transition for students, which creates a lot of conflict and this workshop hopefully provided them with helpful solutions to their problems."

Require volunteerism, needed or not?

by Ron D'Orazio staff writer

Seminar 300: Does it fulfill its purpose? The answer to tlus question was sought in an activity block as part of the activities that comprised Cabrini Day.

The discussion, which took place on Nov. 4. was moderated by Dr. Leonard Primiano. associate professor of religious studies. The question was pondered by a panel of faculty members all well as students who have taken, or plan to take the course.

Part of the requirements to pass the seminar 300 course is that students have to perform 10 hours of community service during the semester. The question posed by the activity encouraged students to think about the seminar's purpose and effectiveness as applied to Cabrini values.

Dr. Margaret McGuinness, chairperson of the religion department, said, the course and the community service should be part of a liberal arts education.

Two students, seniors Joe Zesski and Kevin Eppler, who

had completed the course and the required service shared their experiences. Zesski volunteered with people who took their General Educational Development Test by helping them acquire jobs. Eppler worked in West Virginia on Project Ap· palachia. an effort to assist the people in poverty. Both students had positive reactions to the course.

The students who have not yet taken the seminar 300, were asked what they expected out of the course. Most stulients said they are looking forward to the chance to do their service projects. One student said they wanted to do more than the required hours of service.

Some complaints about the course were that some professors of the course do not discuss the students' progression with concerns to their service work. Other students and faculty members said the course offered in the summer was not focused enough on the service and was too laid back.

Dr. Joseph Romano, associate professor of philosophy, said the primary function of the Seminar 300 is not the commu-

nity service. The service acts as a translation of the class material into the real world. Romano said that the service is our laboratory of learning for the course.

Primiano said that the activity block included a very positive discussion on the topic of

CMCcontinueslegacy

by Ben Lunn staff writer

For Cabrini Day, the Cabrini Mission Core held workshops during activity blocks one and two in Founder's Hall, room 210. Through the workshops, the CMC hoped for students to gain a better understanding of the CMCs mission and purpose.

Eileen Zebrowski, the associate director of the CMC, Jenny Moulis, a missionary of the CMC and Julie Traub were on hand hosting the workshop and answering questions.

The workshops were centered around the CMC and its miss.ion. Its mission is for men and women responding to the church's universal call to holiness with a special desire to serve others.

In the spirit of St. Frances

Xavier Cabrini, missionaries are daring and courageous enough to strive to be in solidarity with our brothers and sisters throughout the world, especially those who are poor and marginalized.

The mission was founded in 1990 by Mother Cabrini's Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in order to help those who are downtrodden, poor and ill.

"We encourage anyone who is interested in helping others and volunteering to come find out more about the Cabrini Mission Core." Jenny Moulis, a missionary who has recently returned from Mother Cabrini High School in New Orleans, said.

For those who are interested in more information, the CMC offices are located on the third floor of the Mansion.

the seminar.

Romano said the discussion was good because everyone who participated was honest about their concerns of how the course is presented.

By the end of the debate, Primiano changed the title of the activity block question from

Seminar 300: Does it fulfill its purpose to seminar 300: How it fulfills its purpose since the discus~ion concluded with the idea that while the course is a positive learning experience and has a purpose. there are still kinks in the presentation of the course that need to be worked out.

Injustice between schools

Mike Zampini staff writer

The issue of equal education opportunities between suburban and city schools was tackled on Cabrini Day in the workshop, "Savage Inequalities held by Dr. Middleton.

Several factors were discussed, explaining the reason for suburban schools receiving twice as much funding as city schools.

Suburban schools receive $12,000 for funding, while city schools only receive $6,000.

For this reason, suburban schools possess more magnitude than city schools.

Students living in city areas are also considered less wealthy than those in suburban schools, and although they should receive more, they receive less compen-

sation.

Students who live in poor city areas are often overlooked. Dr. Middleton suggested that although more compensation is needed for suburban schools, the government should recognize this lack of attention towards city schools.

For students who are education majors, they will be directly affected by this issue.

In the future, they will be teaching in city and suburban schools.

Financially, teachers in suburban schools will receive a higher salary because of the greater funding.

Many teachers in suburban schools look bitterly upon the government for its injustice.

Dr. Middleton implied that the most effective way to solve this problem is to bring it to the l •,

government's attention.

A civi] event, such as a proposal or memo would be appropriate, at least initially.

Unequal government funding does not allow city students the same opportunity as suburban students.

Greater government funding allows suburban schools to afford more effective learning materials, such as books, educational videos, and the necessary computer equipment. City schools have to splurge for equal access to these materials.

Students were left with a lasting impression when leaving the seminar.

They were informed of the significance of government funding and realized just how much the funding of schools will affect their future, as well as their childrens" future.

Music, dancing and beer gave way to fall gala

Alison Briant staff writer

An evening of fun and entertainment was in store for the Second annual Fall Gala held on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Beginning at 9 p.m. and ending at 1 a.m., this dance, sponsored by the Campus Activities and Programming board, exceeded expectations in terms of participation and success as compared to last year's turnout.

Co-chaired by senior CAP Board members, Wendy Hendrickson and Tanisha Rufus, the Fall _Gala of 1997 produced an excellent opportunity for students to involve themselves in college happenings and enjoy themselves on the weekend.

The gala provided a great setting for students to get to know each other. Firstyear students especially reaped the benefits of this occasion.

First-year student, Samara O'Shea, summed up her impression of the festivities, "I had a really great time. Every-

one looked very nice all dressed up and the music was pretty good. It reminded me a lot of my high school dances, but with beer."

Yes, alcohol was present at this event and made available to all students of legal drinking age. How was consumption regulated?

Each person over 21 was given a wrist band to wear and permitted five drinks for the night.

Any underage drinker was reminded of the rules by campus security and CAP b9ard supervisors.

•.According to Emma Legge, director of student activities, unlike similar events of the past, no problems occurred as a result of this dance.

The administration appears satisfied with the outcome of this year's Fall Gala.

The disc jockey did experience some technical difficulties approximately half way through the dance and an uncomfortable lull in the music occurred.

The DJ recovered the song quickly, thoug!i.

Students hang out and relax with friends

He continued the dance with a third repetition of Chumbawumba's hit song, "Tubthumping." Overall, the crowd seemed pleased with his musical selections.

Those involved in preparing the Grace

Hall atrium for Saturday night accomplished the task of making the evening wonderful.

The seasonal decorations added atmosphere to the already festive environment.

Diversityis morethanskindeepVolunteering takes time, but the rewards are plentiful

Anne C. Miller staff writer

"Reaching out past your fears and anger" and "fighting alienation" were key topics discussed at Cabrini Day's "Appreciating Diversity" workshop.

The seminar, held in the Widener Center lecture hall from 12-2:15 p.m., was directed by Cabrini's director of diversity, Shirley Dixon.

"Skin Deep," a film addressing college campus diversity, was presented • to the group of students that attended the workshop.

Following the film, students engaged in a discussion of the program and similar issues existing on Cabrini campus.

"We cannot continue to carry out the mission of Cabrini if problems of diversity are not faced," Dixon said.

Other students suggested that the curriculum be changed in ethnic and relation classes to enhance interaction between different ethnic groups on campus.

"I feel that it is my duty as a human being to look beyond the boundaries that society places on groups of minorities but my efforts always seem to be limited," orie student said.

At the closing of the session Dixon encouraged her audience to attend the "Voices of Students" second open forum. The

forum is to be held on Monday, Nov. 10 in Founder's Hall, room 207, at 12:30 p.m

In order to solve the problem of diversity we must "listen to each other" and "discuss diversity issues" in an open and direct manner.

The students of Cabrini College were asked how they can make a difference on Tuesday, Nov. 3 for Cabrini Day.

The mass media class of Dr. Jerome Zurek, chair of communication department, put together a workshop entitled Volunteer Groups that offered an opportunity for the students to volunteer at three different organizations.

The organizations involved are Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, Philadelphia AIDS Walk and Pembrooke Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Michael Colameco from Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic started the workshop off by saying that volunteer work is not for everyone.

He ex.plaine-dthat his organization requires a Jot of time, but the rewards are many.

He also explained there are many different positions available for volunteers and you would not have to read the books aloud if you did not want to.

This is a good organization for communication majors to volunteer for because it will help with public speaking.

Jennifer Leary from Philadelphia AIDS

Walk talked about various events that they host that raise money for research.

Leary handed out volunteer packets with information about how to get involved with them. She gave a speech that hit home with the students. She said people between the ages 18 to 24 are at the highest risk for AIDS.

Leary explained how seeing people of their own age infected with AIDS causes people to want to learn more and get involved.

The last speaker was Joy Dilenno from Pembrooke Health and Rehabilitatio.n Center.

Dilenno began by saying that she realizes that many people feel unoomfortab]e volunteering at nursing home. At Pembrooke there is something for everyone because there are many people there. She also said this is a good opportunity for students interested in health care of any kind.

After the speakers were finished, the students were given time to ask questions. The students also had an opportunity to talk to the speakers one-on-one.

The workshop gave the students who attended an opportunity to help others and possibly make a difference.

Hunger and homelessness is a worldwide issue.

Through the upcoming Hunger and Homelessness Campaign, Cabrini will attempt to walk in the shoes of the poor and the starving.

The Hunger and Homelessness Campaign is sponsored by campus ministry. Sophomore Chad May and first-year student Mike Porta are the chairs of this campaign.

The mission will begin on Nov. 7.

"Some type of party or fun event will take place," May said.

The event is a mystery at this time because they are still debating what to do, but a fun time is promised.

The opening liturgy of the campaign will take place on Nov. 9. The time is to be announced. It will be held in the Brucianarru Chapel.

If you wish to experience a meal like those living in underdeveloped nations, then come to the mansion dining room on Wednesday, Nov. 12 from 5:30 p.m. until 6:45 p.m.

This is when the hunger banquet will be acted out.

According to May and Porta, the Hunger Banquet is a dramatization of hunger in the world.

Participants will be divided into three groups. Each group's meal will reflect that of a typical mea1 from a different nation. Therefore, some will eat better photo by Diane Grimaldi than others.

Bosstones, friends celebrate ska

by Heather King staff writer

A number of Cabrini students bad a night of Bostonian fun at the Electric Factory on Thursday, Oct. 30.

Four bands, all from the city of Boston, came out to play the night before Halloween to a huge crowd of anxious followers.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones headlined the show after Bim Skala Birn, The Royal Crowns and The Drop Kick Murphys.

With their first CD due out in January, The Drop Kick Murphys are fresh to the ska scene. Their sound though was definitely rooted in old-school ska tunes. They pounded out one song after another with the lead singer getting the audience involved every chance he could.

Their last song was certainly a surprise, "The Irish Jig Song," as it caused the crowd to go dancing like crazy.

With a more rodeo-sounding atmosphere, tile ~yal Crowns literally jumped onto the stage ana ...._citedout their first song.

Their energy was phenomenal. The crowd had not expected such a unique sound and almost just stood there at first, letting the iw.q,eat.co.w~Qy/s){a,musicsink in before letting loose. Since 1983, this

ska band has been around mixing' up the jams with the best of them.

So who is the longest-running ska band that opened for tbe Bosstones? Bim Skala Biro, of course, with a help from their sixth album "Universal" that got them noticed. With their rock-ready beats and a new, rougher sound, Biro Skala Biro punched the notes just right on Thursday creating a few huge skanking circles for the hardcore fans that were finally able to see these rudeboys live and sounding better than ever. They hit it off with "Three Legged Dog" and "Not Natural."

After a long break, a disco ball lit up the factory and music filled the room. It was the entrance for the very popular, yet very old, Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Dicky Barret, the lead singer, came out in one of his usual snazzy suits with white shades. He sang and then threw the shades into the crowd signaling the start of their set. This particular crowd were huge Bosstones fans, staring in bright admiration as Barret sang "Someday I Suppose," from their older album, "Ska-core, the Devil and More."

The greatest crowd reaction came with Wcir _songs from their latest release, "Let's Face It," "Rascfil King" and the most popular mainstream ska song in history, ''The-Impression That I Get."

Blockbusterhitremindsaudiencesof'Scream'

by Paul Moser sports editor

In the tradition of its popular teen, horror flick predecessor, "Scream," "I Know What You Did Last Summer" continues to scare audiences using a blend of horror gags and talented actors and actresses to capture the interest of audiences.

What has become a mainstream horror of the '90s, these movies rake in a lot of money. Already No. 1 at the box office three weeks running, crowds have been packing theaters to see screenwriter Kevin Williamson's newest movie venture.

The screenplay itself is adequate for the movie and does not bring down the action that one expects from a horror movie. However, itis obvious to the audience that the same screenwriter who wrote "Scream," also wrote "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

As in "Scream," the actors and actresses are very entertaining to watch.

Jennifer Love Hewitt ("Party of Five") and Sarah Michelle Gellar ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") are just riveting to watch on the big screen together as their characters, Julie James and Helen Shivers.

Hewitt plays the intelligent heroine Julie James on her way to becoming a lawyer, while Gellar plays Helen Shivers, a beauty queen trying to make it as an actress. '

Newcomer Ryan

Phillippe also puts on a good performance as B::µ-ryCox as does Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ray Bronson.

The chemistry of the attr1tctive and talented actors and actresses make "I Know What You Did Last Summer" a very appealing film much like the cast of Drew Barrymore, Courtney Cox and Neve 'Cambell did for "Scream."

The twists and turns in this movie also makes one remember "Scream."

This horror-mystery

movie keeps your attention throughout its entirety and surprises you at the end.

A good horror movie should make someone jump more than five times during the movie and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" caused the audience to jump even more than that.

"I Know What You Did Last Summer" is an interesting movie to see if you are _ looking to see the classic slasher movie genre with tbe presence of a talented cast.

However, if you are looking for deep character building and reJationship development then this is not your movie.

1. "I Know What You Did ," $9.5 million

2. "Red Corner" $7.6 million

3. "Devil's Advocate" $7.6 million

4. "Boogie Nights" $4.7 million

5. "Kiss the Girls" $3.6 million

6. "Seven Years in Tibet" $3.4 million

Although this movie keeps you entertained, it ends way to soon and comes together way to quickly.

As opposed to its counterpart "Scream," "I Know What You Did Last Sumtner" does not dig as deep as "Scream" did into its characters

Because of this, "I Know What You Did Last Summer'' receives only three out of five stars.

This is the type of movie that can easily be ruined by someone with a big mouth. So run out and see it before you run into someone such as this.

De/tones return with 'Around the Fur'

by JamesKuhn staff writer

In Sacramento, Calif. the Deftones triumphed in their sophomore album, "Around the Fur," with mind v.Tenching riffs, mature musical structure and rabid lyrics.

"Around the Fur" is rather different than-their first release "Adrenaline.'' The album's first track, "My Own Summer (Shove it)," is a perfect example that portrays the mature use of melody mixed with riffs that will make your brain pulsate.

Though most songs of "Adrenaline" will create the same effect, they neglect to show the intimacy that the band offers with "Around the Fur."

According to lead vocalist Chino Moreno in an internet interview,the album is "ruthless, stunning and female influence."

Moreno has always been known for speaking in tongues and screeching lyrics, but in this album he focuses on the feeling set behind the lyrics. He said this is why female vocalist Polly Jean Harvey is his vocal influence for "Around the Fur."

However, the album could not be considered soft. Lead guitarist Steven Carpenter describes the album "as just as destructiveon your radio" as "Adrenaline."

This album receives an A+, plus five extra credit points for blessing fans with the lyrics on the inside cover of the album, which they neglected to include on their first release.

No matter which taste in music you have, the Deftones will energize your body, intrigue your mind and touch your soul.

Other notable tracks that will put some holes in your wall are "Mascara," "Around the Fur," "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)," ''Dai the Flu" and ''MX."

Be sure to experience Deftones 1ive at the Trocadero, located on Arch Street in Philadelphia on Sunday,'Nov. 30 witbhafdcore's hottest Limp Biikit.

First-year mass media students formed workshops about volunteer groups. First-year students, Michael Colameco and a volunteer from the AIDS walk spoke on the importance of volunteerism.

Arlene Smith and John Dimucci, campus ministers, lead the mass with song and praise with the Cabrini choir in celebrating liturgy on Cabrini Day.

Junior Yolanda Lazier was one of the five Cabrini students who were awarded the Charles A. Mastronardi Award. They were presented with a medal and a gift of $1,000

Students gathered in the cafeteria to begin Cabrini Day with a brunch setVed by faculty, staff and administration.

Dr. Antoinette ladorola chatted with Sister M. Roberta, M.C. and Sister M. Sabita M.C. of the Missionary Sisters of Charity in Norristown, Pa. after presenting them with the Cabrini Award in honor of Mother Teresa.

Andrew King, director of counseling services,spoke at an activity block about conflict resolution.

EDITORIAL Getupoutof bed

Cabrini Day has two main objectives. One, to remember the mission of Cabrinj's founder St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, who has touched both the lives of the college community and beyond. Two, for students to join together as a community to carry out the spirit through celebration, education and friendship.

Unfortunately, Cabrini Day has been viewed as nothing less then a day off to many students.

The only way students will perhaps venture out of their beds and participate in the activity blocks is if they are coerced with extra credit from their professors. Food can also prove as another motivational factor for Cabrini students, as displayed in the chaotic scene in the cafe on Tuesday. Participation this year has noticeably been lower than previous years.

Some reasons for the lack of student involvement may be attributed to a possible lack of planning, lack of publicity and lack of interesting activities.

The official confirmation of the Cabrini award winner, Sister Roberta (on behalf of Mother Teresa) was not until Monday, Oct. 27. Thus, publicity was put on hold for the - event.

As far as activities are concerned, maybe if there was a more diverse group of students involved with the Cabrini Day planning committee accompanied with greater amounts of funding, this would create more enthusiasm for the annual event.

If the Cabrini Day planning committee is satisfied with the active student participation on Tuesday, don't change a thing. However, if there is a feeling of disappointment, a change is order for future organization.

seahorses are my new favorite animal. It used to be penguins. You should see my dorm r()om. Penguin stuffed animals, penguin posters, penguin stickers. My roommate goes into penguin-induced convulsions when she enters the room.

I used to flip out when a Bud Ice commercial came on television (Dooby, dooby doo ).

I went to the zoo this summer and went from the penguin cage, to the elephant cage, to the penguin cage, to the lion cage, to the penguin cage and so on. I even had to stop back at the cage to say goodbye to them. (Those hard-working attendants were watching me like a hawk. I guess they thought I was going to try to sneak one out in one of those cool dolphin-shaped baby strollers).

But I bad a change of heart.

I'm sitting in ,journalism the other day, minding my own business, when my adviser, Dr. Jerry Zurek, hands out an article that we were supposed to view as an example of good writing.

I see something else entirely.

Seahorse have this funky way of living. Basically, the male seahorse, when he so decides to start a family, is the one in the relationship that "becomes pregnant, carries the young in his belly and gives birth."

This may be the greatest discovery on the face of the earth.

Now, I know that I have written a lot about women ath-

lete's rights and all that other stuff. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I think I've actually seen John Dzik cringe when I walk into his office. I guess he's afraid I'm going to start screaming about gender equity and matching funds.

But I'm not into bashing guys all the time, I like guys. I have no problem with them.

But think about how awesome it would be if the roles were reversed, like with the seahorse. Even just for a day.

I could roll out of bed and go to class in a pair of ripped wind pants and a muscle shirt, even' if it was 20 degrees out, because guys don't feel temperature changes.

As a girl, I have to wear at least three layers of clothing whenever the temperature drops below 60 degrees, including a winter coat, gloves, and long underwear.

I could have spent a total of 10 minutes getting ready for the Fall Gala last week (including shower time, dressing time and doing-my-hair time).

Total time it actually took me:

three hours.

I could have a beer gut and actually be proud of it. Currently, if I gain as much as one pound, I freak out and s.wear not to eat or drink another thing but carrots and water until I lose the weight. .

As a girl, I refuse to leave the room without thoroughly covering my face in makeup. If I was a guy, I would just say, "Makeup? What's makeup?" and be content to go out the way I was.

Guys simply do not understand how easy they have it. I haven't even gotten into babies and all that other reproductive, female stuff. For the sake of everyone's lunches, I won't get into it. Just know that you guys have it really, really easy.

So the moral of the story is, next time I complain about any of my assorted problems or mention what time I get up in the morning to get ready for class, or anything else related to my gender, please, guys, put up with me. Don't give me dirty looks or ask me if it's, you know, that time of the month. Just listen to me, nod politely, and change the subject.

Oh, and the next time you think you have it bad. remember, it could be worse.

You could be a seahorse. The most perfect animal in all creation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Drivers need to exercise more caution

We, as humans, have choices and our decisions reflect our character and beliefs. We have some control in our Ii ves and others.

It is so sad to see how the respect for life has deteriorated. Just because we have the power to hurt or end another life doesn't give us the right.

I don't understand how anyone c_ouldshoot another person or animal. The only justifica-

tion for using a gun is if your life is in danger.

When we get behind the wheel of a car we also have choices. All year our wildlife struggle to find food and shelter in their diminishing habitat, as well as to strive the harsh winters, only to have their lives ended by someone behind the wheel of a car.

If a deer darts out in front our car on a major highway we have

no control. However, we do have more control on our back roads. We could drive the speed limit, use our peripheral vision, be prepared to slow down or stop or even better, blow our horn to chase them back to safety.

Sadly, I feel that the attitude of some peop~le is, "Who cares?"

A sour tasting, sugarcoated lesson

·1•mreally having a bard time understanding this whole Craig Rabinowitz thing. For those of you who don't know, Rabinowitz is the Main Line latex glove salesman who. in a stroke of geniu ·, murdered his wife and left a trail wide enough for even me to follow.

And I'm no Columbo.

Rabinowitz, who e job was as much a figment of bis imagination as his defense. had no steady income and managed to juggle about $400,000 in debt using several credit cards.

Kudos to him for that.

, As a person with no steady income myself, I haven't been able to juggle more than $800 on my credit cards. If you factored my student loans into the equation, however, I could probably give Craig a run for his money. But since neither one of us has any, why bother?

Rather than finding a job and giving up his affinity for a Delilah's Den stripper named Summer, Rabinowitz took out a large life insurance policy on his wife and killed her.

He finally fessed up last week, pleading guilty and claiming he had "a moral disconnect."

That's where he loses me. That phrase, "a moral disconnect."

The term implies that at some point, Rabinowitz lost the ability to tell right from wrong, but it's

actually just a nice lawyerly term for ··messing up real bad.''

I alway· get a little bit agitated whenever omebody does something stupid, because a person rarely accepts responsibiJity for whatever it is they've done. Instead, they try to sugarcoat it, maldng it eem as if what they've done really isn't that bad.

sponsibility.

If there's one thing I never want to do in this column. it' preach. And I promise you, I won ·t.

In fact, r II do the opposite. just so I don't feel as is I'm losing my edge.

Don't accept responsibility. Lie, cheat. steal. Then blame someone else for it, or come up with some phrase that makes your actions seem less tupid.

ff, for example. public afety happen to find you leaving Cabrini·s bookstore in the middle of the night with an armful of books, don't tell them you're stealing. Tell them you are "actively protesting the incarceration of Jiterature.''

Take Mike Tyson for example. After biting off a hunk of Evander Holyfield's ear, he justified it by calling it self-defense, saying Holyfield was head-butting him, jeopardizing his career and preventing Tyson from being able to feed his family.

Now first of all, if you have to worry about providing for your family after a $30 million payday, you're probably feeding them the wrong kind of carrots.

Secondly by attempting to shift the blame toward Holyfield, Tyson succeeded only in proving he is a whiner who refuses to accept re-

Would you be opposed to a $100 increase to your general fee that would go directly to campus programming?

Lauren Marcucci, a first-year student: No, becau e there i, not a lot to do now. Only if it is going to bring in bands.

Even if it doesn't hold up in the court of law, it will probably confuse the officer long enough for you to drop the books and make a run for it.

Personally. I try to take responsibility for my actions. I've found it usually means less hassle in the long run.

If I screw up at borne, I level with my parents. I don't say. "Dad, I altered the structural makeup of the hou e."

I say "Dad. I backed the car through the garage door."

Angela Palazzone, senior: No, I think that we need more money for programming activities. It would give us more money for programs like concerts.

will participate in.

Right now we are trying to accomplish that goal. However, there are a few things that stand in our way. One is the lack of attendance that we have at our activities.

ticipated.

In the'past couple of issues there have been letters to the editor and a viewpoint that has criticized the work of the campus activities programming board. These opinions are pretty much felt throughout the campus. The general feeling peopie are having is that there is nothing to do on campus.

Well, I became an assistant chair of the CAP board this semester and I do not mind the criticism. In fact, I think that it is necessary for us to complete our tasks, which is to serve the student body. Our primary goal is to program activities that students, programs that the students

This is due to two reasons: students tend to go home on the weekends and the programs we have planned for the student are not activities that they"would like to attend.

We work with 'avery tight budget and if we program on the weekend and there is no one here, than we wasted the tiny budget that we have now. I can see why students do not come to activities. We need to give you, the students, a reason for you to stay on campus.

This has been a problem for both the CAP board and the students for the last few years. The only way to resolve this is for us to program bigger activities, which the students want, and have the student stay up at school on the weekend and live out the college experience you have an-

CAP and I would like to know the types of activities you, a Cabrini student, would like to see us do on campus. Our organization is here to serve you and we would like to do this, but it is hard to know want kind of activities that you have in mind. Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to The East Coast Regional Conference in Syracuse, N.Y. The conference that Angela Palazzone, CAP chair, Gina Bongiovanni, assistant chair, Emma Legge, director of student activities, and I went to was opened to college programming boards on the East Coast.

It was designed for college programming boards to meet with different agents for professional bands, comedians, magicians, physics and other campus activities.This was an opportunity for us to view the performers acts and see which acts would best suit the students at Cabrini. It also gave us some insight to what programs worked for

other schools and how we can bring these programs to Cabrini.

It was great. I had never had so much fun in my life before. I wish we could have some of the activities that we had the opportunity to see here at Cabrini. But there is only one problem, it is the same problem that has faced Cabrini programming boards for years. In fact, it is the same problem that all college students face: money.

This conference gave us the opportunity to plan for the spring semester. We do not have enough money in our budget to have a program that we really want to bring to Cabrini.

If we did not do any programming at allfor a year, we might have enough money to bring in bands you would like to see, like Dave Matthews Band, Phish and, Rusted Root. Un fortunately we are not able to do this. It would cut out too many activities that we have right now and we would only have one activity the entire year.

Answer this question for me: what do Alcatraz, Sing-Sing and Fort Knox all have in common with Cabrini? They pretty much explain the social life for Cabrini. Resident life at Cabrini is in the same condititm as present day Alcatraz and neither seem like anyone inhabits them.

The students who do not have any problems with it are the· ones that go home every weekend. I think that would be a good idea, too, but I live two-and-a-half hours away and don't have the luxury of having my own car on campus, so I can't go home.

Maybe I would not want to go home so much if the campus activities and programming board de-

I think this was the first time in a long time that there.was sometlring -to do on a Satu;rday night. I was surprised to see the parking lots filled. Everybody had fun and I wish we could have more legal parties.

But don't get to excited, CAP. I only said you bad one good activity. Too bad you cannot take credit for the parties the students have on Thursday nights. It must be hard for you to plan something that is enjoyable for the students. Would it be so hard to ask students what they like?

Why does it seem like last year was more enjoyable than this year?

Tell me how a school can justify the need to tum into a regional college, when it cannot even keep its students on campus. What are you going to do when you start to get these giant classes that crams us in this school like sardines? Renting a movie from Blockbuster and having a movie night is not going

to cut it.

What are you doing with all of the tuition money? We spend $20,000 plus a year to go to this school and have no activities. I'll never see that money used for something l can enjoy. Instead of saying you are buildings these new buildings for the students, tell the truth and say it's so the school can get more students.

It's pretty depressing telling all of the new students stories from Jast year and trying to explain why it sucks so much this year. That's not my job and maybe if you did your jobs well I would not have to write an article blasting the way CAP plans its events.

I challenge the administration and CAP to make this school exciting and make students want to stay on campus on weekends. I guarantee my challenge will either go unsung or I'll get a whole lot of trash mail from somebody. Just remember my name is spelled with two T's, Elliott. Let's see if you can get one thing right this year.

We have a list of bands we would like to have here at Cabrini, but we could not afford them in our budget.

At the conference, there were schools that had larger budgets to bring in bands for their schools, which are smaller than Cabrini. The reason why these schools have so much money to work with is because their schools charge an activities fee at the beginning of the year. I know what you are thinking, great, Cabrini wants more money out ofme.

However, if we charged $100 onto each students' tuition, we would have enough money for the bands and activities you would like to see. The kind of activities that you hear about at larger campuses. We are here to work for you and the best way for us to plan for you is to have your input. What do you want to see from us?

Not-so-special teams beat Eagles

and nearly break a touchdown after receiving an Eagles kickoff.

Head coach Ray Rhodes is at bis wits end, following the Eagles 31-21 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

PAUL MOSER

I never knew it could be this bad.

Never had I imagined that I couldoe this disgusted.

Never again will I be able to enjoy the kickoff of a game, a spectacle which I had taken great pleasure in watching.

There's the Kickoff Classic in College ball, the opening kickoff of the season in the NFL and lateIy the most watched kickoff classic of them all, a Philadelphia Eagles kickoff.

Why is it noticed, you ask? Because the return man will usually advance the ball up the sidelines

That marks the third time this year that the special team. have blown a game. Against the Dallas Cowboys, punter Tommy Hutton bobbled the game winning kick by mi handling the snap and against the Minnesota Vilings, Mark Seay let up the winning touchdown by fumbling the pu,nt.

Yet again the special teams cause the Eagles a game and even more importantly, another division game.

Unless the Eagles come up with ta way to get the team to play decent special teams, the Eagles will not make the playoffs.

Let's dissect the problems with the Eagles special teams.

Punt & Kick coverage

Numerous times have I seen the Eagles kick the ball down the field

and the coverage teams just blow by their assignment and miss the return man, whoever that may be. Ir doesn't seem to matter who is returning the ball. Everyone can get an above-average return on the Eagles special teams.

Ray Rhodes has to find a solution to this problem. The Eagles defense cannot keep holding the opposition to field goals when they start on the Eagles' 35-yard line.

Field Goals

Chris Bonoil has missed seven of 18 field goals, including three misses out of his la t five attempts.

Bonoil has not had the impact on special teams that he was supposed to.

The coaches should not have to hold their breath on anything over 30 yards for the amount of money that Bonoil is receiving.

The Eagles have already lost two games to the kicking game. The first game against the Dallas Cowboys and this past week

against the Cardinals.

Granted. Bonoil had to re-kick the in field goal in the Cardinals game, but he should still be able to hit from 37 yards out.

The second part of the kicking game that ruin the Eagles are the kickoffs. Bonoil is not expected to kick the ball into the end zone, but he has to at least pin the other team down ifhe can only kick to the 20yard line. The lea t he could do is kick it higher and angle it better.

Return Grune

The major issue in the return game that has led to the Eagles turnovers is the play of Seay. Seay, for the second time this season, has fumble-0a punt inside the 20-yard line.

As a return man, you cannot do that. Seay has one job and one job alone: to catch the ball. He has proven he can't do that.

The kickoff return game has been bad, but not nearly as bad as the punt return game.

Duce Staley has, at times,

showed promise in the return game. but he bas also showed ·ome downsides.

Solution

The Eagles have many problems to address on the special teams and may not be able to solve them this year.

The first order of bu.~iness is for Bonoil to regain his old form.

The second order of business 1s for the Eagles to find someone who can catch the ball when it is punted.

The third and final order of busines is for the Eagles to learn how to cover kicks.

As the Eagles continue to get worse and worse at special teams, they will lose more and more games.

Ultimately, the blame has to fall on the coaches. A team cannot be this bad at his position.

Thre_eCabrini teams falter in PAC championships

The women's field hockey, tennis and soccer teams all made it to the PAC championship rounds, only to lose the games.

by Laura Casamento sporls editor

Despite making it to the final rounds of the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference championships se-

ries, three Cabrini teams fell in the championship game

The women's field hockey team madeit to the PAC championship game with a win over College Misericordia in the semi-final round by

a score of 3-0.

In the em.i-fi.nalmatchup on Wednesday, Oct 22, first-year student Katie Valerio,junior Jessi Valerio and senior Tara pfeiffenberger netted goals.

Junior Mary Lear contributed a strong defensive force, making 13 saves in goal.

The game marks the first ti.mein Cabrini history that the field hockey team has made it to the semifinal round, and the first time that the team has advanced to the championship round

1nthe PAC championship game, the team clidnot fare as well. Katie Valerio scored first with her 13th and final goaJ of the season, but it was not enough to pace the scoring.

Eastern responded with two goals of their own to give them the 2-1 victory and the PAC championship.

Lear again turned in an impressive performance in goal, thi time with 10 aves.

With the loss, the Lady Cavs finished the year with an overall 11-9 record and a conference record of 8-2, the be-strecord ever

in the team·s history.

The women's soccer team also made it to the final round of the playoffs, but again dropped the final decision.

Sophomore Meghan Myers earned her first career shutout and made 18 aves in goal as she took over for the Lady Cav's regular goalie, fir t-year student Katie Hecht. who was out with an injury.

1n the team's previous game against Widener University, Myers stopped 26 shots, putting her in first place on the team's all-time single-game save li t However, the Lady Cav's lost, 7-1, with their lone goal coming from senior Kelli Wllliams.

The team was unable to keep their unblemished championship

record alive in the conference final. They lost 3-0.

The Lady Cavs finished up the season with a conference record of 2-2-1 and an overall record of 4- 1l.

The women's tennis team finished.the season with a 9-7 overall record and a 4-4 PAC record.

ln their final PAC game, the Lady Cavs defeated Alvernia College. 8-1, on Tuesday, Oct. 21. Juniors tvlichele McDevitt and Karin Letcher and first-year students Karenn Love. Lori Gibbons. and Colleen Martin all swept both their singles and doubles mntches.

Steroidabuseremainsprevalentamongathletes

From professional sports to collegiate programs, athletes have continued to use steroids to enhance their performance abilities. Among their newest tricks: Internet sites devoted to steroid use and tricks to avoid detection in drug tests.

by Karin Letcher staff writer

The images of steroid abuse abound: the stripping of Canadian runner Ben Johnson's 1988 Olympic gold medal after testing positive for steroids; the AfterSch.ool Special episode when the popular high-school quarterback has a "roid" rage; the manly Chinese women's swimming team. The list can go on and on.

Yet is tlie issue of steroid abuse still as prevalent today as it has been in the past?

The answer is a resounding yes, according to a telephone interview with Dr. Anthony Petry, a physician at the Allegheny University Hospital, Ea.st Falls campus.

"Steroids are more common and main-. stream now than they ever were before," Perry said.

Perry elaborated further with an exam-

ple of intense steroid abuse.

One of Perry's cousins is a member of a Division I college baseball team and a majority of the players use steroids to enhance their performances.

'The large.st faction of steroid abusers are male teenagers and young adults, from the middle school to the college level, who ignore the commonly-known harmful effects of the drugs," Perry said.

Those who take steroids risk receiving effects as severe as liver cancer, heart or kidney dis'ease and the minor consequences of_ acne, baldness and' mood swings.

There are also different effects for male and female abusers.

Because of the impact of steroids on the testosterone leve~s of the users, women may experience male characteristics and men may acquire female traits.

Women may grow facial and body

hair, have voice changes and encounter breast shrinkage.

On the other hand, men may experience lower sperm counts, impotence and an increase in breast tissue.

One of the most dangerous results of steroid use is the contraction of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, through contaminated needles.

Some types of steroids must be injected into the body with needles.

One such drug is formebolone. Formebolone is often used by athletes to inflame their muscles priqr to competition. The drug is injected directly into the muscle.

Just recently, there have been stories in the news concerning athletes being suspected of or punished for steroid abuse.

French soccer player Cyrille Pouget tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone earlier this month.

Spanish race-walker Daniel Plaza, who won a gold medal in the 1992 Olympics, has been suspended from competitions for two years after bis drug test showed traces of nandrolone.

According to Perry, there are ways to prevent being caught for steroid use.

Stale Mountain Dew has the same weight and pH level of human urine and can be used as a substitute during drug tests.

There are also assorted masking drugs available that cover up the taking of steroids.

The popularity of steroid use is evident from the amount of Internet sites devoted to how to use and where to get steroids.

Currently, the immense demand for steroids has promoted the sales in the black market to an estimated $400 million a year.

They came. They saw. They played. They won. And now that they have put down their rackets for the first time this year, they can reflect on their first season at Cabrini.

But don't expect them to be thrilled with their progress. Despite their success, they see room for impIOvement.They see the short-comings as well as the strengths.

Lori Gibbons, Carrie Smith and Karenn Love are first-year students and they wasted no time in getting involved in tennis, which they had played in high school. It was the perfect time for them to come aboard.

Reggie Day, coach of the women's tennis team, spoke of the year as being a rebuilding one. With no seniors on the team, Gibbons, Smith and Love were able to play in positions that would not have been available to them if the team had been predominately upperclassmen.

"1 felt like I was put on the spot," Smith said. "I wasn't expecting to play so soon."

"It was a great opportunity," Gibbons said. "It gave me a lot of experience that I otherwise wouldn't have gotten."

"The coach didn't expect too much, but we gave him more than he expected," Gibbons said.

Smith admits that in the beginning it was a stressful experience, especially with living away from home, getting adjusted to college life, going to class and having practice everyday.

Smith was 8-12 in singles and 7-12 in doubles. "It

was a really good year,'' she said. "I think I could have done better, but I played well."

That seemed to be the resounding theme among the girls. While all were pleased with their performance during the season, they still believed that it was not perfect.

Coming off of a high school team was at times difficult for them. They were used to playing a lot and winning in high school. To come to college and play on a higher competitive level, when the team was not always winning, was an adjustment.

"I was used to winning,'' Gibbons said.

Gibbons was hurt during the season and she did not get to play in all of the matches. She did her best to overcome tbe injury. Her high tolerance for pain came from years of being a dancer. She was 6-9 overall in singles and 4-9 in doubles.

The hardesl thing for Love was being a commuter. Despite that, she had fun.

"I miss it already,"Love said.

Love was 16-4 overall in singles and 13-6 overall in doubles.

Everyone was pleased with team effort as a whole. "As a team, we played really well,'' Gibbons said.

"We had a lot of teamwork," Smith said.

Love, Gibbons and Smith brought the term rer building to a whole new level. They also grew as part of the team. "It felt like a family," Smith said.

All look forward to next year when they will no longer be first-year students adjusting to college life. They can pick up their rackets in confidence .knowing they are·a strong part of the tennis family.

Rain, mud, wind.

These were the elements

Cabrini's cross country team had to compete against, besides their rivals, to pull off a sweep of the men's and women's cross country championships in a rout of the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference finals',on Saturday, Nov.

1.

The victory marked the first time that the men's team has won the title since 1992 and the first championship for the women since 1993.

The races were won by firstyear runners Chuck Hartzell of the men's team and Sabrina Smith of the women '.s team.

Now, the the men's and women's teams move on to race in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Regional Tournament. followed by the NCAA National Tournament.

The keys to success for the Cavs all season have been the strength of their first-year runners, in particularly Hartzell and Smith.

Hartzell won the race, which was bis second overall victory in a row.

Hartzell was followed by first-year students Jason Bull in 5th place, Colin Broderick in 7th, David MacKay in 8th and Ryan Jones in 11th place.

Giving Cabrini 3 runners in the top ten finishers.

From this group, Hartzell, Bull, and Broderick were all named to the All-PAC team.

The women also finished with three runners in the top 10 for the female championship race.

For the girls, Smith came in 1st place overall for the second consecutive week, followed by senior Lyndi Paladino in 2nd and first-year student Becky Jurich in 7th place.

Also contributing to the victory were senior Nicole Volikas, who finished in I 0th place, and first-year student Kelly Dorrian, who finished 14th.

In an interesting sidebar, Michelle McDevitt, a junior who has not ran in any previous races this year due to the fact that she is a member of the women's tennis team, ran in her first race of the season at the PAC championships and finished respectably.

Elected to the All-PAC women's team were Smith, Paladino and Jurich.

Although the team has accomplished perhaps its primary goal already, winning the PAC championships, the season is not over yet.

They will have their work cut out for them next week with the biggest tournament of the year for the Cavs, the NCAA Regional Championships which take place at Dickinson College on Saturday, Nov. 15.

The men's and women's teams will again be looking toward their first-year sensations to lead them to a win.

Winning the PAC was the first step. The regionals are the final step in the cross country teams' lap.

What are the odds that Cabrini will ever field a football team?
