Planning for retirement can be closer than you think

by JenniferNespoli assistant features editor

You do not need to have four kids, a mortgage and a receding hairline to start planning for your retirement Good things come to those who wait, and higher returns come to those who invest their money early.

B,µtyou just graduated from college, you are struggling to pay off your student loans, you are not sure if your job is going to pay the rent and retirement seems light years away. Investing is the last thing on your mind, right?

Michael Busler, instructor of business administration, urges students to start investing as soon as they get out of college. The temptation is to safeguard money in a place where the graduate knows it will be safe. But Busler recommends doing otheIWise.

"I encourage young people not to be afraid of taking risks," he said 'The key is to get started investing early."

Before you do anything, you must set up your own personal investment strategy. Evaluate what your money means to you. How

much money do you make every month after the taxes and bills are paid? How much money do you absolutely need? And how much do want for your personal fulfillment?

Once you establish how much you lose through taxes and bills every month, how much you need and how much you want, you can decide how much to invest.

"A good rule of thumb is to invest five to 10 percent of your gross income," Busler said.

College graduates should base their financial plan on two important investments, according to Busler. The first is their retirement plan.

'The last thing college graduates think of is retirement," Busler said, ''but there are three reasons why they should.''

• Deferred raxes. The money in retirement accounts is not raxed. Only when it is taken out of investments years later is it taxed.

• Your company of employment will most likely have a pJan that will match dollar for dollar your own investment, if you invest $50 a month, your company will match that or surpass that amount.

• Compounding. The longer you

keep your money invested, the larg• er return you will get.

Your company may have a retirement plan where it automatically take out five percent of your pay each month and put in an investment fund. According to Busler, a retirement plan is easy to start, but

-Busler, instructor of business administration

the key is to start it as early as possible.

Five to seven years after you establish your retirement plan, you should own a piece of real estate. Whether it is a house or a condo, owning real estate will provide several advantages. The mortgage is deductible on your taxes and real estate appreciates in value.

A person usually stays in his or her first house for five to seven years, according to Busler. 'This will not be your dream house," Busler- said, "but it's important for you to get into something." When you sell the house, you can take the gross income and use it on the down payment for your next house.

Once you have established a retirement fund and bought yourself a piece of real estate, you can begin to make an investment portfolio. Once again, Busler advises that young people take risks.

Stocks are the best thing to invest in becausethey offer the highest return. They have a higher risk because they deal with actual companies. There is the possibility that the company will fail, and your money will be lost. With a good stockbroker in charge of your money, however, it will stay in profitable situations.

Stocks traditionally offer a 12 percent to 13 percent return on your money. Bonds offer half that amount and therefore have less risk.

When Busler first began investing, he put half of his money in stocks and the other half in bonds. After a few years, the profit from the

stocks was over one and one half times what the profit in the bonds was. It was then that he realized the profitability of stocks, and shifted all of his money into stocks.

Bonds have a lower return because they have a fixed interest rate. That makes them safer investments. The interest rate never fluctuates, which means it never goes down, but there is also no chance for it to increase, either.

With stocks, you own a piece of a corporation, so interest rates are not involved The company can either fail or do a booming business, so you can triple your money or you can lose it. If you leave your money invested for a long period of time, however, you will most likely make a profit.

''Young people should invest heavily in stocks," Busler said. They should stay away from less risky investments like bonds, money market funds and cash reserves. Later on in life when retirement is only 10 or 15 years away, keeping that money safe is a bigger concern. That is the time to use money market funds and bonds. Right now is the time to take the risk and make money, he said.

Students pay the price for too much alcohol

by NicoleKlimas assistantmanagingeditor

In four separate instances during the early morning hours of Saturday, Feb. 14, four Cabrini students were taken to the hospital due to an overdose of alcohol.

According to a comment made by one of the students, he, as well as another male lacrosse player and a female student, were suspended from campus for a week. According to the student he is unable to attend classes or go to his room for personal possessions. If he is found on campus "extreme measures will be taken."

Neither Dr. Bob Bonfiglio, vice president for student development, nor Cathy Caulfield, director of resident life, was able to comment on the incidents because further judiciary proceedings are underway.

1bree of the four students were

first-year male lacrosse players and the fourth was a sophomore female.

According to Rich McErlean, director of public safety, three underage students were taken to the hospital in separate ambulances at different times during the night.

McErlean also said a fourth student was taken to the hospital by friends, but neither Radnor police nor an ambulance was called.

Two of the four students who were taken to the hospital confirmed that they drank together but were found separately and were taken to the hospital separately.

At approximately 2 a.m., the first of the four students was taken to Bryn Mawr Hospital. He had apparently been found alone in a room in house six by public safety. Public safety notified Radnor police, a report was filed, and the student was taken to the hospital.

The second student, who shared

a bottle of Southern Comfort with the first student, was found by Dawn Lexie, resident director, wandering through tlie woods behind house one. Lexie helped to get the student to house one, where public safety was notified, an ambulance was called and he too was taken to Bryn Mawr Hospital. Lexie refused to comment on the situation.

A third male student who neither confirmed nor denied the information was also taken to the hospital and suspended from school for the week.

Pat Scarpello, the men's lacrosse coach, has been notified of all three incidents, and only one of the three students has been notified of suspension from lacrosse for three weeks. This includes missing spring break training in North Carolina.

The other two lacrosse players have not yet discussed the.irsuspen-

sion from the team but assume that they too will suffer the same fate.

The. female student who also went to the hospital was taken by her friends; neither public safety nor Radnor police were involved. She too has been placed on a one week suspension from campus.

''I found it ridiculous that she

was punished by the school. Neither public safety nor police were involved She was taken by us, her friends. The school should have nothing to do with her situation," sophomore Lisa Kalisperis, a friend of the female student, said.

A good rule of thumb is to invest five to 10 percent of your gross . income.

Professor Smith sparksinterest in chemistry department

by Karin Letcher assisf8nt a&e editor

Nestled in a make-shift office on the first floor of Grace Hall is Cabrini's new chemistry professor, Dr. Joseph Smith. Smith began teaching various science courses this past fall semester.

This semester, Smith is teaching general inorganic chemistry II, organic chemistry II and current issues in science.

Smith describes his teaching style as traditional-based, using assorted models and tools to communicate ideas to the students. He stresses the importance of making sure his students are comfortable so they can ask any type of question.

''The more relaxed the students are, the more they will learn," Smith said.

Born and raised in Oswego, N.Y., Smith always had an interest

in the sciences and in teaching. His attraction to the sciences was further influenced and heightened by his father, who was a high school physics teacher. Although he was originally seeking an undergraduate degree in physics at State University of New York in Oswego, chemistry won out.

Smith chose chemistry as his emphasis thanks to good undergraduate teachers and experiences and because he said chemistry is a center point of all of the sciences. According to Smith, aspects of chemistry are evident in each and every science.

"Chemistry seems to serve as a common denominator to enjoy all the sciences," Smith said.

After receiving his doctorate from the University of Washington in Seattle, Smith participated in a research program at the University

of California in Irvine for two years. For his next position, just prior to coming to Cabrini, Smith returned to his undergraduate alma ·mater and served as a chemistry professor.

Smith chose to apply for a teaching position at Cabrini because he was attracted to the school's small size and reputation of quality.

·"Because of Cabrini's size, it is easier to reach out to the students and teach more proficiently," Smith said.

In the spare time be has when he is n?t teaching, grading or creating lesson ·plans, Smith cites a large amount and variety of activities and amusements he enjoys.

Smith is a huge fan of music, especially rock and jazz. Some of his favorite performers include Led Zeppelin, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Chick Corea.

Hope Manley remembered

by Erica McGee assistant features editor

Diagnosed with Cystic fibrosis when she was 18 months old, senior Hope Manley never gave into the many odds stacked against her.

Born on Oct. 19, 1976. Manley was only expected to live for a short time. She defied those odds and proved that nothing was impossible.

Manley died on Feb. 13, 1998 from the disease that she has been battling all her life.

Senior Pete McCarthy. a long time friend of .Manley, said, ''This was veiy unexpected; she was always in and out of the hospital but was able to pull through OK."

Manley was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital in January for a cold. Because Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, a common cold affected her more severely than the average person.

Cystic fibrosis is an uncommon hereditary disease. The glands in the lining of the bronchial tubes in the lungs malfunction. Instead of producing the normal thin mucus that traps germs and is then coughed up, they produce a thick sticky mucus that tends to stagnate in the tubes. Germs multiply in the mucus and cause respiratory infections.

Manley has been on a waiting list for a lung transplant for some time. She was No.l on the list when she died. The doctors at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital did not want to perform the transplant until the infection had cleared.

However, Manley's condition had grown progressively worse and she was put on life support. On Friday her parents had to make the de-

Manley was from the Allentown area and was an education major here at Cabrini. She was set to graduate in the spring and only had her student teaching to complete before graduating.

According to Bluin she was an excellent student. In grade school Manley had the pleasure of meeting Princess Diana and consequently her favorite singer was Elton John.

According McCarthy, she tried to keep up with everyone and she did not let her illness keep her down.

Friends and family gathered on Tuesday, Feb. 16, to mourn their loss. A mass was held at 9:30 a.m. at Saint Thomas More church in Allentown.

Aside from listening to music, Smith plays it as well. Smith has been playing the drums for over 20 years and the guitar for more than 15 years. He spends many weekends jamming with his brother, a guitarist who has played with Chubby Checker on a few occasions.

Also included on Smith's long list of hobbies is reading, specifically about chemistry, fishing and tai kwondo.

Someday, he would greatly enjoy trying to both skydive and hang-glide. His ultimate dream is to one day own a plane.

Some of Smith's favorite television shows are ''Seinfeld", "60 Minutes" and "Politically Incorrect'' ..

In the brief time he has been teaching at Cabrini, Smith has nothing but good feelings and thoughts

the faculty and students. He loves his position and enthusiastically looks forward to contributing to the growth and expansion of Cabrini.

''I get my kicks off of interacting with the students and talking to them about chemistry," Smith said.

cision to take her off the support.

Ironically, earlier that same day, Manley's boyfriend, John Bolton, gained pennission from her parents to ask for her hand in marriage. However, her illness was far too severe for her to live any longer.

According to Manley's friend, senior Michelle Bluin, Manley was vety optimistic and she just wanted people to understand her disease.

According to Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president for student development, a memorial mass will be planned with campus ministry for Manley some time after spring break. There will also be some type of tribute to her at the commencement ceremony since she was due to graduate in May.

Senior Trish Goldberg was close to Manley and said "Hope was a great person and I am going to miss her dearly

More information on the memorial mass at Cabrini will be addressed after break.

Tobacco companies being smoked

by MelissaLessig assistant news editor

Tobacco companies have provided smokers and non-smokers alike with the revelation, more like an admi ion, that tobacco is addictive. The question remains as to where to go from here.

The CEOs from Philip Morris Cos., RJR Nabisco, Loews Corp. and UST Inc. have admitted that nicotine is addictive, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. They have appeared before Congress to propose a settlement that would produce monwnental effects upon the advertising community and the health world. particularly the Food and Drug Administration.

This admission by the CEOs denotes an unprecedented move on the part of the tobacco companies. However, the content of the announcement i of no shattering news to smokers or the health arena.

Most smokers acknowledge smoking is an addictive habit and knew this upon starting, but also admit they have the power to stop also.

Junior Jen McGraw ha-, been smoking for six years. "J don't real-

ly know why I smoke. l' m trying to quit and it's not too hard if you really want to,,. McGraw said.

Senior Christie Gondek finds enjoyment in smoking. She said, "When I'm under stress, it relaxes me and I enjoy it I see myself quitting probably after graduation.'"

Most Cabrini students who smoke find no astonishment in the fact that tobacco i addictive, but realize that the CEOs' communication and proposals with Congress may have permanent effects and change the image t>fthe tobacco industry.

According to the Inquirer, executives asked Congress to approve a settlement that would make it mandatory for the tobacco companie to pay $368.5 billion over 25 years for health-related programs. This proposal would prove beneficial for addicted smokers to assist them in their pursuit of improving their health conditions.

Also, this would help to keep children aware of the health problems associated with ·rooking.

The executives also lobbied Congress to place tigid and severe restrictions on advertising. Tobacco advertising has been targeted as the

cause of the many young children who are drawn into smoking and with this is as a focus, the companies want to execute stronger standards on advertising.

Yet another aspect of the settlement includes the appointment of new broader authority to the FDA, which can better regulate the ingredients of tobacco products.

The tobacco companies want to end the years of conflict and create. a basic change in the industry. According to the Inquirer, Steven Goldstone of RJR Nabisco said, "It is time to end the fighting and move in a new direction. We stand at an important crossroad.

One path keeps us on the 40year road of conflict and confrontation, which benefits no one. The other path provides for extraordinary gains in public-health policy and fundamental change for the industry."

In addition to the cash payments and other compromi es. the tobacco companies are demanding immunity from lawsuits. Their admission to the addictiveness of tobacco and their efforts at settlements may appearsnothing but worthy and righteous. However, with the desire of

Smile, you're on campus camera

by Nick Levandusky assistant layout and design editor

Some colleges feel the need to make videos of what goes on at their campuses. These video help increase awareness of the school. Recently some people at Cabrini have been caught on film as a part of the school's own attempt to make the choice of college an easy one.

Tricom Pictures, a national production. company based in Florida, came to Cabrini to shoot some footage. The footage taken will be used to produce a nationally aired series called "Better Parents." The film is an attempt to increase the awareness of the college.

The root of all this commotion can be placed in the hand of Nancy Santos Gainer. director of public relations.

''This is all a part of an aggresive media campaign that has been taking place over the past two years," Gainer said.

Cabrini has been written about in various publications throughout the area The Philadelphia Inquirer heads the list of appearances. There have been 31 appearances by Cabrini in local publications including 14 in the features section of the Inquirer aJone.

The video was made in an attempt to help parents and their children select a college that will be suitable to their needs. Some of the questions posed in the video include what prospective students should look for in living situations and who prospective students should talk to for guidance. The film also attempts to boost the awareness of community service that takes place off campus.

When students reach their junior year, a Seminar 300 course is mandatory· of aJl students. The course involves performing offcampus community service.

"Community service here at Cabrini is a focal point of what the

school is about. By filming a Sem 300 course in action, there is no better way to prove it," Gainer said.

Junior KateWalker, a member of the Sem 300 class that was filmed, said, "I did not mind being on film. I was only tutoring.'

The class was at the St. Gabriel's Church and at the Morrison Elementary School.

In the film President Antoinette Iadarola makes an appearance. She is an expert in the movie for answering question

Despite attempts by Gainer, no dates or times of the video being aired have been released.

"There have not been any dates et for the movie as of yet. Students should expect to see it some time in the Spring of this year."

The movie will be aired on a national station in the near future. Gainer encourages tudents to listen to their voice mail for an exact day and ti.me for the movie's national telecast.

Executives have asked Congress to approve a settlement that would make it mandatory for the tobacco companies to pay $368.5 bilfion over 25 years

the tobacco companies to possess full protection from legal problems, another conflict lies ahead. according to the Inquirer.

There are those individuals in Congress that remain wary of the intentions of the tobacco companies and will not be quick to reach a decision concerning the·demands of the companies.

Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D., Calif.) remains uncertain. According to the Inquirer. he said, ''Can we just put the public interest ahead of

the special intere ts of the tobacco industry? Our goal- our only goal- must be to pas legislation that protects our children. We don't need the tobacco's industry blessing to do this; we don't even need their agreement."

The tobac.cocompanies have adnutted that nicotine is addictive. They have presented their desires and compromises to Congre . The stage i et for a decision to be reached in the near future.

The arbitration panel claimed that the rules concerning marijuana use found in the rulebooks of the IOC and the International Ski Federation were not specific enough to merit the earlier decision. •

Christy Mason Cox, Cabrini graduate of the class of '88, will speak to students on Thursday, Feb. 26, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Widener Center lecture hall.

Cox is a part of Cabrini's career development lecture series.

She plans to tell today's students how Cabrini helped her to establish a successful career in comm.unications. Cabrini College has been an important part of ''the road [she's] traveled." Cox said, ''My days at Cabrini and my career led me to places I didn't expect."

Over 10 years ago, Cox was news editor of the Loquitur and an English/communication major. Cox was an active participant in Cabrini's co-op program. • ~,,,,

She had two internships, one with investigative reporter Herb Dennenberg on CBS's Philadelphia affiliate channel. Her other internship was with Philadelphia's independent channel 29 (now FOX).

Cox describes her early days in television as "bold." She said, "I worked for free until they hired me." Tiris persistence strategy will be part of Cnx.'s message to students who want to work in communications business. "You have to be tenacious to have a media job. You can't think, Tm going to be a star. I'm going to make money.' It's hard work and long hours. You-must stay grounded, but it is very rewarding."' Cox attn1mtes staying grounded to the incredible friendships and values she gained from parochial schools and a Catholic college. Cox said, "I see how God is working in

my life. My lessons and mistakes build on each other as the hand of God. fu my speech [to Cabrini students] I will touch on the spirituality of the past 10 years.'' Cox sees her life as being continually intertwined with Cabrini. One of her classmates is still a close friend who moved to her area. Other friends have been in and out of touch, but Cox is very excited to see everyone at her ten year reunion this June.

"I'm so happy everything is happening at once. rm excited to see the changes on campus," Cox said.

Taking risks and working hard led Cox to an on-air TV reporting position in Sioux City, Iowa following her 1988 graduation.

Cox said,"It was a bold move to go down there; they started me at only $10,000. a year." Her career soon took her to South Carolina,

where she became a crime reporter for ABC in Columbia and then a spokesperson for the state highway patrol. Cox said part of her career was very valuable because she got to "study the court system."

Currently. Cox is the deputy speech writer for the governor of South Carolina. She lives in Im10 with her husband and one-year old son.

Cox said in retrospect she had interesting jobs, but now she is "really happy to be working out of media." Cox.also plans to discuss in her speech how media has changed in the past 10 years.

Cox attributes a deterioration of news quality to a 24 hour news cycle instead of the twice a day report which was prevalent ten years ago.

If you were not there, you were one of the few. A little over 300 students and local area residents attended the Triskaidekaphobia Fest to support Cabrini's 89.1 WYBF-FM The Edge and the campus activities and programming board. They jammed to love Revolution, Lunch Box Heroes and Colorblind, popular local bands heard on stations like Y-100 and 94-WYSP.

As people poured into Founder's Hall gym, they started off the night with a beer in one hand and their feet stomping to the first band, Love Revolution.

They played pure rock songs with good beats and occasional hard country edges. The sound was fresh and the band members were definitely lively.

The member with the pink guitar prepared a snazzy solo, and the lead singer with the crazy hat pointed to his audience as he sang and drew them in with the rockin' sounds.

Screaming fans indicated an impressive following.

The next band Lunch Box Heroes changed the pace with a groovy, jazzy-ska sound that brought people dancing from everywhere. , :,,

From the female vocalist's srn,oot.h.and lofty vocals and

tambourine-playing to the guitarists with the new-age shades whipping out some sly tunes, to the sleek saxophonist and the drummer who gave a rip-roar-

crowd. They had a great sound that obviously made students jam, considering people set their beers and sodas aside tQ groove.

Even though many students left by this point, Colorblind seemed to please enough people and certainly ended the night on a good note.

With the amazing turnout at this Triskaidekaphobia Fest, it looks like this has been· one of the biggest events on campus highlighting live music. The

Villanova's play sparks controversy

by Michelle Saboja staff writer

Enter a world of sadness and confusion. This is a sense of what Chrissy's world is ~e in David Rabe's phiy, "In The Boom Boom Room."

The Villanova Theater is currently running the 25th anniversary production of "In The Boom Boom Room." It runs until Feb. 22.

On opening night, Feb. 12, in front of an almost-filled theater, the audience was taken on a journey through the emotional world of Chrissy (Laurie Norton).

The play is transcended to Center City, Philadelphia circa 1967.

The set consisted of Chrissy's bedroom, which turned into the go-go bar where. she worked. A simple, but colorful set. Music of the '60s accompanied most of the scenes.

This play is very controversial in nature. It explores mature topics such as abortion, child molestation, homosexuality, racism and domestic violence.

It is geared toward a mature and open-minded audience. There are warnings before entering the the-

ater about adult situations and offensive language.

The play opens in Chrissy's bedroom where she is practicing her ballet moves. Chrissy had moved from Manayunk to Center City. She is working in a go-go bar in town and aspires to become a ballet dancer in New York City.

The characters that surround her impact her life. Chrissy is naive in the play a11dthese characters give her a strong dose.of reality. Her father, Seth. Pendleton, is just one of these characters that makes her open her eyes to the world around her. He has deep secrets to hide and they have a direct impact on how Chrissy turns out at the end.

The entire play revolves around Chrissy finding out who she is and where she belongs. She runs into many obstacles in finding out the dark secrets in her life.

There is not much to the plot, but the play moves along quickly. The play deals with the emotions of Chrissy. In her search for where she belongs she experiences many moods along the way.

One minute she is happy at the fact that go-go dancing is a form of dance and she is following her

dream. The next minute she is crying out to be loved by a man who will treat her right. Chrissy wants and needs to be loved throughout the play.

Norton not only was the lead actress, but gave an outstanding performance. She accomplished the task of making the audience feel for her and anticipate bow her life will tum out.

Norton is in the master's program for acting at Villanova, as well as many others who starred in the play.

Another stellar performance was given by Pendleton who played Hatold, Chrissy's father and Al, her deadbeat boyfriend. He played a dual role and was convincing portraying both men.

Pendleton had received his masters from Villanova. He is a member of the Actor's Equity Association and is also a teacher of acting at Villanova.

Though, "In The Boom Boom Room" makes you laugh at times, it really is a sad play. The emotions involved are intense and the language used is foul and at times offensive. This production may not be one of the best plays to see, but it is entertaining.

'The Wedding Singer' carries a flat tune

by Paul Moser sports editor

Rubik's cubes, big hair, diamond studded glovesthese are tlie images·that are left in your memory from the '80s and also from watching "The Wedding Singer." It is a movie that will give you a nostalgic feel and will also send you laughing out the door.

"The Wedding Singer" pricks the funny bone and al-_ lows the audience to laugh at that almost forgotten time. But sadly, though, the film lacks that extra bite which makes the audience drift off into the scenery.

The movie begins with Ro,pby Hart, played by Adam Sandler, an ex-high school heart throb who gives up his dream of becoming a rock star in favor of being the local town wedding singer. Robby meets Julia, played by Drew Barrymore, the waitress at the local wedding hall the weekend before he is to be wed. Julia is the girl- nextdoor type that Sandler goes crazy for.

Robby meets Julia and the two share their first of many special moments together. Ah, but there is a conflict. Both are engaged to two different people and we spend the rest of the movie trying to erase those two far-off characters.

stone, leaves Sandler at the altar and this sends Sandler tailspinning into the abyss of depression, with only one person holding the rope, that being, you guessed it, Barrymore.

The weird and pleasant difference between the character Julia and Sandler's other leading ladies in previous mavies such as "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore" is

that she is more than a pr!!tty face that Sandler ogles. Barrymore does a great job playing that flirtatious and unattainable woman even though the plot is unbelievable. Barrymore is tom between the two men. Sandler and her slimeball finance Glen, played by Matthew Glave, who complicates things by decidihg to marry Barrymore in only a few weeks.

She is left with the duties of planning her wedding and thus calls upon Sandler to be her assistant in finding the best buys for the wedding.

The two fall in love and the wedding singer finally after many opportunities marries her and they all live happily ever after.

Now for those of you who think I ruined the movie, I didn't. We all knew the conclusion halfway through the movie. This is the classic story of boy meets girl. Now let's find a conflict.

I can just see the writer of this movie watching television while writing this movie. There was not much thought in it. Although there are many funny moments in "The Wedding Singer," the plot leaves something to be desired.

Barrymore and Sandler act really great in a really bad movie but not good enough to make "The Wedding Singer" a success.

Local fitness centers off er student discount

EDITORIAL Phobia fest

Flyers covered the campus announcing this fest with a strange name. It was free admission. It provided free beer. Arid it bad three well-known local bands. The Triskaideka' phobia Fest, which occurred on Friday, Feb. 13, proved to be nothing but good luck for the campus radio station, 89 .1 WYBF and the Campus Activities and Programming Board, who co-sponsored it.

Unlike many of the efforts to have events by the CAP board, the Triskaidekaphobia Fest was a collaborative effort with another organization, the radio station. Money was provided by the CAP board, while the promotion and planning was done by the radio station. Over 300 people showed up for this event. Perhaps it was because of the free beer, but one would like to think attendance was also due to the saturation of advertising by certain members of the radio station.

Everywhere you tum, fliers promoting the event were hung. The announcement of the event was published in the City Paper, Delaware County Daily Times and the Haverford Press. With determination from Kelly Ann Monahan, operations manager of WYBF, and her promotions staff, which includes first-year students Heather King, Nick Luchko, junior Lisa Maiorano and senior Melissa Mancini, ,:;, Friday the 13 became the day of one of the most successful events of the school year. Every area of the event was covered, due to a detailed proposal presented to administration by Monahan. Each argument that could have been presented by the administration was handled, which included a need for increased security at the event that was handled through chaperones.

Money was not a concern for WYBF. Having students, faculty and members of the local community come to an event on campus was well worth the absence of an entrance fee. It is a wonder why previous attempts to hold events by the CAP board did not succeed. Perhaps lack of planning, advertising and enthusiasm were to blame. Or maybe having a cooperative effort with another prominent organization on campus was the reason why the Triskaidekaphobia Fest was such a great success. It was strategically planned, advertised and promoted in such a way that everyone on campus knew about it. Maybe the CAP board can use this event as a touchstone for future affairs on campus. It has now been proven that increased enthusiasm and strong promotion not only provides the campus with knowledge of an event, but also with an affair to remember.

Televisionor reality?

There have been many people who have attended school that can ~ay they had feelings for a former teacher. They can also say it was innocent and that nothing would ever evolve, from it. A fantasy or a dream, one might call it fiction and write about it.

That is exactly what Kevin Williamson did when he created "Dawson's Creek," a new teenage sitcom on television. A boy, 15, has a steamy affair with his 30-something high school English teacher.

OK, so it is fiction and it is only television some might say, but what scares me the most is that it is happening in real life as well as on television.

Mary Letourneau, 36, a former grade school teacher was convicted of child rape for her affair with a 13-year-old student. She not only had an affair with the 13-year-old student but also gave birth to his child, now eight-months old.

Letourneau was recently sen-

tenced again to spend more than seven years in prison after she was caught with the boy in violation of a court order.

I find it very uneasy that a situation like this ever occurred. But what I find more pathetic is that we use such a situation as an entertaining television show.

away from each other, but who will take action about the viewers of such a show?

Now I know it is only fiction and it is not meant in any way to persuade teenagers to sleep with their teachers, but it is a sick and twisted situation.

I remember when parents were in an uproar when Doogie Howser was about to sleep with Wanda. I feel many television shows reflect the world we live in.

I my opinion this school teacher has a serious problem and definitely needs some help. But also who wants to have a father only 13 years older than you? I feel sorry for the baby as well. I truly believe that action has been taken to keep these two

Now I do not mean ones such as "The Simpsons," but some shows do bring up key issues that happen in our daily lives. I find it almost humorous that at one point we see the real life situation between Letourneau and her student appalling and bizarre, yet laugh and root for the 15-year-old character on "Dawson's Creek."

Can our society be called hypocrites? Maybe.

Just another one on death row

Our society believes it is immoral to kill, l agree. But what I could not understand why it is not only acceptable but practiced.

It is practiced and legalized in the United States. We live in one of the only counnies who still uses the death penalty a a means of discipline. A disciplinary system that has been proven ineffective for all of these years and yet still practiced. The death penalty is not a deterrent to crime but yet we still enforce it.

If it is not a deterrent why do we still have it?

Well, the only reason why we still use the death penalty as a means of discipline is the fact that people are ignorant. They are ignorant about what the death penalty is and the effect it has on our society.

It does not only affect those who are on death row, but all of those who have to witness the horrifying event. People feel jf they have the person who kills their family members killed, it willbring cotnfort and closure to their Iives. The fact of the matter is that it will make things worse. They find out the comfort that they were looking for is not there. The only thing it does have is another person dead. How could this possibly comfort anyone?

There are a lot of misconceptions about the issues surrounding the death penalty. The first is that the tax payers are paying for these people to live in prison better than they have ever lived before. If this is the case, we have to work on bringing the rest of our society up to a common standard of living. Let's face it, jail is not Palm Springs and if anyone thinks these people will

In the case of Karla Faye Tucker, she was addicted to drugs at a young age because of her childhood. She grew into behaving in the only fashion that he knew. I am not saying she should not be held responsible for her actions, but we need to have some empathy for her, as well as fot the families and victims. If this is the case, then there are more than one victim, we as a society hould nor allow these children grow up into a de truction to society.

It co ts more to put someone to death than it does to keep someone incarcerated in prison for the rest of their life. So to use the argument that these people are costing taxpayers more money to keep them alive is wrong.

Dear Ben.

Q:I live in Xavier Hall, and as you may know, there has been a lot of vandalism lately. Becau e of the vandalism, we are aJI being charged, not a lot of money, but that's not the point. We shouldn ·t have to be charged because of these vandals. Also, overnight guests have been taken away. For ome this is no big deal, but I can't go home every weekend.

A:Dear Anonymous, I live in Xavier, and I know about the vandals. It is a shame that a few immature people have caused problems for so many others. You're right. It is unfair. I've talked to John Osborne (of Xavier) and we both feel the best course of action would be to ask questions. Surely somebody in Xavier knows who did it. It is just a question of finding out who.

I would just like to ask anyone living in Xavier that knows about the vandalism to l)'j)eakup. It i ·n't fair for all of Xavier to pay for the acts of a few. No one likes having their window smashed, and knowing who did it would help to put a stop to it.

A look from up ,in the crow's nest

Editor of the Loquitur,

I am writing in regards of several various matters that have grabbed my attention. First, I would like to address the last couple weeks of events and the upcoming weekend, Feb. 20 and 21.

Whoever has been in charge bas "done an unbelievable job. The New Year's Eve party went rather well. Then to have the Men's and Women's basketball teams play at home with a beef and beer - a sheer stroke of genius. This past weekend, the Triskaidekaphobia was a smash and again to watch both Cavalier teams play was magnificent. How about this, two legal parties in the same semester, WOW!

If the '70s legal party is as good as it was last year, I cannot wait. So to all the clubs and organization who planned out this semester, hats off to you. You have done an exemplary job and I hope all of the organizations and clubs continue to follow this pattern of excellence. Finally, students are staying on campus for weekends. Plus, I'm sure the opening of the Campus Apartment Complex has not hurt either.

Continuing with some other observations around our lovely campus. Hey, do public safety's hands ache?

They should with the many tickets they write. Are they security or are they secr~taries? Another question regarding Cabrini's finest, exactly who pays for all the gas they use driving around four or five vehicles a night?

For example, last night Saturday, Feb. 14, I witnessed the Explorer, the red Nissan and two

Cabrini vans, all being driven by a security, oops, sorry I mean a public safety officer. I'll take a wild guess and say the students. Am I right? And what exactly is the age requirement to be a public safety officer anyway? 16?

Even_today I saw one of the public safety officers parking their personal vehicles illegally. I guess they are supposed to enforce the rules but not adhere to them. But hey, there are a couple on the job that do well to relate to the students and that is Diana and Coop. Hats off to you.

Moving on, I must say I love the new washer and dryer that CAC has. I can almost put two pairs of pants and a tee shirt into a washer. What do you know? Finally, the back door was fixed, Amen! It only took a month or was it two?

Before you ask, no I am not on the Tenants Association Board.

Continuing on with the CAC, I must say, I love waking up in the morning, walking into the halls and seejng bags and bags of garbage, presumably set there by residents. Yes, mature and independent living at its best Hey, rumor has it that Cabrini has worked out a deal so the shuttle will now go to Bryn Mawr Hospital. Might as well, all the business we have sent them lately.

Go~ha? Just who came up with this? This is something bigger colleges do, not little old Cabrini. I liked it. Unfortunately, I was unable to play but I will play the next time. Will there be a next time?

How about campus ministry, Gotcha and a '70s legal party? What the heck is going on? Well it

is fine by me, as long as somebody is doing something rather inventive to keep me on campus.

When is the library going to get books and journals that have been released within the past four years?

I am getting tired of going to other college libraries because Cabrini does not have it.

By the way, just because we have access to the Internet, that does not by a long shot make up for the lack of materials in the library. Speaking of the computer lab, where exactly are the computers going? Everyday there seems to be another one missing.

Why does it still take minutes, hours, days when using the Internet or e-mail? Temple, Villanova and various other colleges do not have this problem. I know because I have friends who attend these instituti~ns of higher learning.

Just why is the business office and financial aid office in two different buildings? Why don't we have financial aid, the registrar, and business office in Grace Hall? Then put admissions in the Mansion?

In closing I want to say, congratulations and excelsior to all the clubs and organizations that have made Cabrini a place to hang out once again, or maybe for the first time, who knows. Thanks for letting a person vent. I feel better already.

BringingtheSixersto Cabrinicouldbe a goodthing

ulterior motives for my interest in having the Sixers use our center. But all and all, weighing the pluses and the minuses, I believe the pluses are far greater.

PAUL MOSER

What's this I hear about the Philadelphia 76ers coming in to supposedly 'ruin our new sports complex, the Dixon Center? Just the other day I heard someone criticizing Cabrini for even thinking about renting out the c_enterto the Sixers.

If anything, the Sixers coming to Cabrini to practice would be a good thing and not a bad thing. I think Cabrini should pursue this and try to make it happen.

Now myself being interested in sports journalism and being a fan of the Sixers. there are a few

Men's Basketball

With the approach of the PennsylvaniaAthletic Conference playoffs imminent, the Cavs continued to pick up the momentum, gaining two wins in the division as well as moving into a first-place tie with Gwynedd-MercyCollege.

On Wednesday, Feb. 11, the men picked up another win against Misericordia, closing out the season series with an 82-58 victory. Junior center Randall Sims, sophomore forward Tim Anderlonis and junior guard Sean Tait scored in double figures to contribute to the final game of the season sweep. The victory gave Cabrini their 22nd straight win over Misericordia. The Cavaliers have not lost to Misericordia since 1981.

As the Cavaliers prepare for their sixth consecutive title defense, senior forward John Drummond continues to lead the way. Drummond averaged 13 ppg and 12.5 rpg and shot 83.3 percent (1012) from the free-throw line last week. For the month of February, Drummond is averaging 18.5 ppg and 12.8 rpg. Drummond needs

Imagine walking down toward Grace Hall and waving to Allen Iverson as he drives by. Imagine news crews parked down by the Dixon Center and doing remotes from there. Imagine walking into the food court and ordering -a sandwich while standing •next to Tim Thomas. Now this may seem a little facetious, but for fun let's just analyze what the Sixers would do for Cabrini 'and what they would take away.

I think that there would have to be some rules, of course, for the Sixers to follow before they would be able to use the center.

Cabrini should limit their training time to certain hours during the week so the time is. not totally monopo_lized by the Sixers, something 1 doubt would happen

if they were to make us their training facility anyway.

That seems to be the biggest argument heard from critics to the proposed deal. People are afraid of not being able to train in their own gym.

If the Sixers were to use the center, there would be two daily workouts, I'm assuming, one in the morning, probably around 10:30, and one in the afternoon.

I really don't see anyone using our basketball courts in Founder's Hall all that often during the day anyway, so I don't foresee there being a major problem in allowing the Sixers to have one or two time slots every day. The facility also probably would not be totally cut off during those times anyway.

Also, this will probably be one of the strong factors in Cabrini allowing the Sixers to rent the facility. Believe me, the people in charge are aware of

this and that is one of their main concerns in a possible deal.

Let's imagine that the Cavaliers would be allowed to observe a practice with Larry Brown. Imagine the type of internships or on-site learning that could be done in the sports science department learning from the Sixers' professional trainers. This on-site learning could be invaluable to both.

Let's also imagine the money that would be generated by lending out the facility. This money might actually help to lighten the load on the cost for the new building so that we, the students, might not be billed as much.

Let us also imagine the press that Cabrini would get for having them practice here. Every time the Sixers would be on the news they would say, "here is so-and-so reporting live from the Dixon Center on Cabrini's campus." Every time there

LAST WEEK'S RESULTS

First-year student Tyquine Wilson, a point guard, dished out a career-high 10 assists in the Cavs' victory over Misericordia and leads the team in that category,averaging 3.2 per game.

Women's Basketball

After a disappointing loss to King's, 100-56, on Monday, Feb. 9, the Lady Cavs rebounded with wins against Rosemont College on

Wednesday and Neumann CoUege on Saturday.

With their two PAC wins, the women locked up a quarterfinal home playoff game on Feb. 24, and still have a shot at receiving a first-round bye.

Junior center Melissa Posse continues to fuel the Lady Cavs' offense, averaging 24 ppg and 17.3 rpg last week.

would be a story written about the Sixers they would say, "Larry Brown said such-andsuch this morning at the Cabrini College Dixon Center."

That would be pretty cool, in my opinion, and all I'm saying is for people to give the Sixers and Cabrini a chance at coexisting if there was to be a new deal.

I think that people should give the new idea a chance instead of assuming they are going to be hurt when they may actually benefit from the entrance of the Sixers to Cabrini.

Also, any of the ideas I have suggested may or may not happen and the deal may never happen at all but wouldn't it be interesting if it would. I think that this could be a great thing for Cabrini.

LadyCavsstifleNeumann,hangonfor 70-62victory

by Paul Moser sports editor

The Lady Cavaliers proved their dominance over Neumann College this past Saturday, Feb. 14, in an unexpected barn burner.

In what may be a clash of future powers in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, the Lady Cavaliers came out on top by a score of _7062.

The game started out as an upand-down battle for the Lady Cavs with neither team taking control. Toe Lady Cavs started the game looking very disoriented and out of sync. They shot only 27 percent from the floor in the first half, going 10-for-27 from the floor, while making numerous turnovers that brought Neumann back into the game. The first half ended with the Lady Cavs holding just a threepoint advantage.

The Cavaliers could not get much scoring generated. Junior captain Melissa Posse was held to just six points at the half.

A big reason for the close score in the first half was the shooting·of the Lady Cavs. There were a number of missed three pointers and the team continually was punished down low, not to mention committing numerous turnovers that continued to plague both teams for the entire game.

When the second half began, the offense •started clicking and the Cavaliers,lit things up.

First-year student Lisa Reynolds and Posse combined to provide the scoring punch the Cavaliers needed with Reynolds shooting the deep ball and Posse scoring the inside points. The Cavaliers Jed the game by as many as 15 points at one point but the Lady Knights of Neumann came crawling back.

First-year student Michelle Gregg scored many of her 25 points in a late run that almost brought Neumann back into the game. Neumann came as close as seven points in the second half.

It was not until Posse made two outstanding plays on both sides of the ball with about two minutes remaining that the Lady Cavaliers put away the Lady Knights for good. Posse blocked Gregg's shot at one end of the floor and snapped a 8-0 run by scoring a basket off of the low post. The Lady Cavs had tried unsuccessfully the entire game to get it down low to Posse, but on this particular play she stepped up and made the crucial bucket when the Lady Cavs needed it the most. Both teams committed many turnovers, with Neumann having 28 and the Cavzjiers ending up with 23. This was a result of the sloppy play on both sides of the ball.

Reynolds led the Cavaliers with tempts. Posse was held to just 15 her career high total of 24 points points, shooting seven-for-nine and six three-point baskets on 12 of from the floor. the Cavaliers 37 three-point at-

Rowe leads Cabrini's junior varsity to respectability

by ShannonDowns assistant perspectives editor

In Sharon Hill, Penn., Rob Rowe stood on the sidelines of the town's courts to watch people play basketball.

It was a game which he loved right away and he knew that he wanted every part of it.

"Sharon Hill was a hot place for basketball. A lot of big time basketball players and coaches went on ·lo play with great careers,'' Rowe, now the head coach of Cabrini's men's junior varsity basketball team, said.

Rowe's love for the game has continued to grow over the years. When he was in sixth grade, he made his school's Catholic Youth Organization team. He continued to play throughout eighth grade.

He went on to Sharon Hill High, where he made varsity his sophomore year and continued playing the game he loved until he graduated.

Rowe thought about coaching basketball at a young age. "Actually, it, wasduring high school," be said. "I began coaching young teams while I was there and loved it. I coached intramurals as well as teams which traveled when I was a senior. My head coach when I was pla-ying, Bud Baumert, became the inspiration which helped me realize that I wanted to coach."

One of Rowe's favorite memories came when he was coaching a team of 13 and 14year-olds who had not been playing too well.

For two years straight, he was able to lead them to victory. Hi.s coach then came to him

and told Rowe that he couldn't have done a better job himself. "To hear him say that was one of the best days of my life," Rowe said. ''Especially since he was the rea,;on that I wanted to coach in the first place."

coaching work, he is a very valuable asset to our department. I hope ·he stays with us for years to come."

"He is more than just a good coach. He's a great coach," Mack said. ''And he is also a friend and mentor to everyone on the team. He is one of the people that I am going to miss when I am done this semester. He doesn't only teach about basketball. He teaches about life. He deserves more than just a shot at coaching a big team of his own. He does a great job in his work."

"I 1ilrehaving a nice, friendly relationship with the players on my team," Rowe said. "I am disappointed that people don't see these boys are doing a better job than what their record says."

1Rowe] helps us have fun on the court," Mack said.

"I always tell the boys. 'Basketball is all about fun,"' Rowe said. '"It is also all about learning. If you are playing and not having fun, or if you are not playing to have fun, you should not be out on the floor."'

There are many fond memories for him here at Cabrini, as well. "That's all that they are," Rowe said. As the coach of the Cabrini Cavaliers' junior varsity team, Rowe has been able to bring the best out of the players he has come to kn.ow over the years.

"[Senior] John Mack, now there's an incredible story .in itself," Rowe said. "I am really going to miss him when be graduates thisyear. Also, Uunior] Sean Tait came to play with us recently. He just lights up the court when he steps in. It was really nice to see," _Rowesaid.

John DziK,head coach of the varsity team, said, "[Rowe] does a fine job for us in athletics. He teaches the fundamentals and he teaches them well. With his scouting, recruiting'lUld

'The standard procedure for a college basketball team is to lose their players after four years," Rieb Schepis, sports information coordinator, said. "Rowe works with new faces every year and is able to shape them up into great players. Some of them. move up to varsity, some quit, and some don't even practice together with the rest of the team. Somehow, Rowe is able to take all of that and make a team that plays together and plays well. It just shows what kind of a person he is."

'The best [PAC] victory, in my book, was the one we had last year," Rowe said. "Most of those players were new and playing their freshman year. It was a great feeling to see them accomplish that goal. This year, we just sit and talk because they really are a great, hard-working team."

"All of us on the team like playing and

If you do not think that your coach ·ees everytltjng, then just ask the men's lacrosse team.

Coach Pat Scarpello sits perched on top of a scaffold overlooking the team's practice.

With his bird's eye view, Scarpello can see everything, and this year it looks very good.

Scarpello, the second-year coach of the men's lacrosse team, hopes this year will bring many new results.

"We have many new [fustyear] students and a lot of them are looking very good for this season," Scarpello aid.

This year's team bas just 14 returning players from last season. To make up for the loss, Scarpello has recruited 15 first-year students, all with a lot of talent.

"This could be one of the most talented classes [of first-year students] to come into this school. They bring a lot of skill and determination to the team," Scaipello said.

Probably two of the biggest impacts from the class are attacker Joe Costack and midfielder Jeff Morgan. "Both of these two are outstanding for their ages and will definitely play an important role this season," Scarpello said.

Co tack is from New Marple High School, were he was a twotime AH-Americanand adds much to the team. "It is great that we have Costack on the team this year. He adds so much more to such a good team," Scarpello said.

"Morgan still has a lot to learn, but I know with time he will be a great team player and definitely play a big role in the years to come," Scarpello said.

Scarpello hopes that this year brings a lot of uccess. Last year the team made the Eastern College Athletic Conference tournament. This year they hope to win the ECAC tournament. This is just one of the many goals that the team hopes to accomplish this season.

"I hope that the team really learns a lot this year.We have a lot of obstacles to pass this year,"

Scarpello said.

Scarpello is referring to the schedule of the team. Since the lacrosse team is not in a conference, they take on the role of an independent. This means they will take on whoever will play ball. Of course, this brings on a lot of challenges.

''We are facing six nationally ranked teams this year and that is a lot for us to work for," Scarpello said.

Some of these teams are Western Maryland University, Franklin and Marshall University, and West Chester University.

' Some might think that this is a big challenge, and it is, but I feel that this team that we have will be able to compete well against them," Scarpello said.

Sophomore Ben Farrell feels good about this year. ··we really have a lot of good people this year and the freshmen really have a lot to do with that. I think that we will be able to compete with a lot of teams and definitely surprise some of the big schools," Farrell said.

Junior and co-captain Mike

Friel definitely feels good about this season compared to the years before. "Coach Scarpello has brought so much to the team in the past year. He has brought leadership, pride and lots of discipline. He has definitely turned this program into a well recognized organization," Friel said.

"We have a lot of good players this year. There are a lot of veterans that have taken it upon themselves to teach the [first-year students] the ways of playing at the college level They definitely have a lot to learn and adjust to, but many have matured quickly and have been playing great in practice," Frjel said. "With the amount of effort that is being put in by the [frrst-year students], they will definitely be making an impact as well as seeing time during games," Friel aid.

Senior and co-captain Phil Gagliardi thinks the team has been showing a lot of improvement over the past couple of weeks.

"The guys on the team have really been working hard and putting a lot of effort into their

games," Gagliardi said.

Coach Scarpello has really done a good job at rebuilding the team from the time I was a [firstyear student]. We have been working from the goalies up, trying to build up the team s confidence and pride in the team," Gagliardi said.

"A lot of the [first-year students] have been responding well to the pressures of college lacrosse. I'm definitely happy with all the work of the veterans on the team and the leadership that they have been taking on with guiding the freshmen and helping them with any problems on and off of the pJaying field," Gagliardi said.

This is the men's lacrosse team's fifth season at the NCAA level.

Over those past five years, they have been looking and working hard for the best players and best combinations to win.

With this year's squad, they hope to be looking at a lot of wins, but most of all they hope to be looking to always improve.

Cavs find Cecil County too strong, lose close one

Despite strong performances by Ron Realer and Roman Gabriel, the men's JV team dropped a four-point decision to Cecil County Community College. The loss ended a two-game winning streak.

by Maria Izzo staff writer

The men·s junior varsity basketball team ended last week's winning streak with a loss to Cecil County Comm.unity College despite the trong efforts of sophomore Ron Realer and junior Roman Gabriel.

Coach Rob Rowe tried to inspire the players to do their best against a team they knew would give them a run for their money.

With two wins behind them after last Monday's victory over Eastern College and Wednesday's victory over Williamson Trade School, the Cavaliers were on a wll.

"We were doing fantastic this week, but I don't want the glare of success to make us sloppy,'' Rowe said.

The Cavaliers didn't display any lack of interest in the game becau e of their two recent win that week. However, they did not have that extra stamina to bring them to the victory over Cecil County Community College on Sat-

urday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Cecil County gymnasium.

Was it an unlucky night or was it just a long week for the Cavs?

Team player say it was a little of both with one more opposing obstacle against them: a strong opponent.

"We were a little sluggish because of the past week' events,'' first-year student Allen Brydges said. •·we played really hard but Cecil County is a really great team."

"We were all hoping to continue with our little winning streak. It was what we really hoped for,'' Brydges said.

Brydges and his teammates knew that the opposing team was a tough one before they even stepped onto the court.

"The coach talked to us beforehand, so we knew that this was going to be a tough team to beat," Brydges said. "Coach Rowe pumped us up for it though."

Despite the Cavalier ' continuous hustling throughout the game to gain control and dominance of the game. they could not surpass their rivals.

The first half saw disappointment for

the team with just two three-point shots made out of five attempts and two free throw shots made out of four attempt by the Cavalier .

This was a sharp contrast with Cecil County's lead in the first half.

"We began the second half knowing it was going to be tough,'' Gabriel said. "We were down by over 20 points when the second half ended.

"I think we were all tired after the whole long week and a little high on our winning streak from the past few games," Gabriel said.

Most of the team members agreed that they had experienced a long week full of success and felt that achieving this win over Cecil County would be the "icing on the cake."

'The other team was too much of a match for us," Gabriel said. "J won't deny that they were all good players. But I also won't deny that we really tried our best on Saturday."

The team will participate in its own tournament this weekend at 1 p.m. in the Founder's Hall gymnasium.

by MellssaLessig assistant news editor

After dropping a loss to Neumann College earlier in the year, the men's basketball team rose to the occasion and defeated the Knights in a rematch, 86-78, on Saturday, Feb. 14.

The last match-up between the Cavs and, Neumann did not prove so easy for the team.

Neumann took that game 78-62 in a win that ended a 10-game losing streak against the Cavs.

However, the Cavs took home the big win in the most recent game.

From the tip-off, both the Cavs and Neumann played quick and smart basketball, but the Cavs ' played a better first half, shooting 48.7 percent to Neumann's 36.1 percent.

By the end of the half, the Cavs were leading by a score of 43-30. Neumann was by no means about to give up and the second half of the game proved that as the Knights diminished the Cabrini lead a number of times, but to no avail.

With 10:40 remaining in the game, Cabrini took a time-out as Neumann had lessened the lead to eight points by a score of 58-50. Ten minutes be.came five minutes and Cabrini took a commanding lead of 14 points, leading 74-60.

Neumann again decreased the lead to 10 points, but fouled junior forward Cory Miller. Miller made both of his foul shots to place the Cavs ahead with a 76-fJ6lead.

Neumann forward Curtis Hightower made a basket with 3:16 to go, making it a 76-68 game. Again Neumann scored, this time by Bernie DeLacy, to make it an eightpoint game.

Neumann then fouled junior John Drummond.

Drummond made both shots, but Neumann came right back with a basket by Curtis Hightower.

Sophomore Tim Anderlonis made a three~pointplay with a basket and a foul shot with 2:02 left in the game. With the score now at 8170, Neumann of course did not let that go unanswered.

Neumann guard Al Ooud made

a three-point goal and was fouled to turn it into a four-point play. With that, the score went to 81-74 and Neumann again scored on a basket by Nathaniel Williams. With a minute on the clock. the score was 81-76.

Neumann then committed another foul on Drummond. Drummond sank both of the crucial foul shots to increase Cabrini's lead to 83-76.

Neumann fouled two more times, both on sophomore Jim McTamney. He made three of his four foul shots to elevate the Cavs to an 86-78 win.

Drummond led Cabrini with 19 points and was high rebounder of the game with 20 rebounds. Neumann's Jamal Green was high scorer of the game and led Neumann with 22 points.

"We played a good first half," Anderlonis, who finished with 13 points, said. "We have to get ready for Gwynedd-Mercy. We have to come together more as a team and play together more as at team."

Junior Sean Tait played a key role in the win as well with 16 points. "We proved something because last time we played them they beat us," Tajt said. ''We got revenge from last time. We're confident going into our next games, especially Gwynedd-Mercy. Now we just have to play good," Tait said.

''We played a good first half," coach John Dzik said. "We were more aggressive. We shot almost 50 percent from the field and got the good lead that we needed."

L. James Streat, Neumann's assistant coach, said the game was a learning experience for his team.

''We know that it's tough to win at Cabrini," Streatsaid. ''We'll use the game as a stepping stone. We did some things to help us grow as a team. Hopefully going into the

Cavs'

over Neumann College. playoffs we'll be able to play better team basketball and keep progressing. Maybe we'll see Cabrini in the playoffs."

Dzik feels good going into the next game. "We have to win the last regular season home game that will be in the gym. It's a special evening. Our only two seniors on the team will start and that's [John] Drummond and [senior John] Mack.

''We still have a chance for first place. If we win the next game, we clinch second place and then if win the game after that (GwyneddMercy), we clinch first. We are five-time defending PAC champions, and we need to be six-time defending PAC champions," Dzik said.
