Students share college life with family, friends

____ - At the women's tennis match, staff writer the feeling was just as positive. First-year student Becky Michener said that it gave her mom a chance to see Cabrini for the first time. They attended the breakfast and were planning on going to the dinner and dance later on that evening.

It was more than the warm sunshine that beckoned students and their families out this weekend. Family Weekend 1998 provided an opportunity for students to show off their campus, athleticism and dorm rooms to eager families.

The festivities began Friday night with a performance by the Cabrini College Comedy Troupe that was attended by over 40 people in The Red Cloud Coffee Houst).

The women's soccer team began Saturday with the women's field hockey team following soon after.

Peter Silvester, father of senior Jessica Silvester, was happy to cheer the field hockey team to victory, even though his daughter doesn't play.

'This is a great opportunity for me to spend time with my daughter and see a great game." Silvester said. "It's also nice to see the rest of the families and meet the people my daughter spends so much time with."

While the sports teams were playing for their fans, games at the peace pole gave siblings the opportunity to box with each other in an oversized ring. There were carnival activities, including an oversized boxing ring and a giant slide.

Nicole Dickinson, a sophomore, was among those enjoying the carnival. Her parents drove all the way from Pittsburgh for the activities. The Dickinsons had not taken any formal tours and were relying on their daughter to show them the real Cabrini.

"It's a nice day." Dickinson's mother said. "Nicole is selectively taking us around on her own tour."

Walking among the frolicking children was Emma Legge, direc- tor of student activities. Legge was pleased at the course of events. One of her favorite aspects of the weekend was Dr. Leonard Norman Prirniano's lecture. Pritniano is- an assistant professor of religious studies.

Legge said that the turnout was about the same as last year but added that there was more oncampus advertising than there had been in previous years.

As students walked by giving tours to their smiling parents, Legge said that this was what the weekend was all about.

"The point is for parents to see what student life is like here at Cabrini," Legge said.

Walking through Grace Hall were Ellen Casiero and her parents, who were deciding on what to do next.

"We enjoyed the mansion tour, but we didn't like the ghost stories," the Casieros said. "We also really enjoyed the cafeteria food."

The Casieros were simply enjoying the beautiful weather and soccer games and going to the homecoming dance later on that

This attraction was part of the events of family weekend. evening.

Dr. Joseph J. Romano, professor of philosophy, was also enjoying the beautiful weather before he had to go inside and give his lecture on controversy in education. His speech dealt with the value of education to help create good citizens. He was doubtful, though, about the amount of people he would attract with the weather being so beautiful.

At the men's soccer game, the members of the homecoming court were announced at half-time. Melissa Posse, homecoming queen, was happy about the weekend and excited for the dance.

"This is great," Posse said. "It's a beautiful day with tons of things to do for parents and kids."

The weekend was enjoyed by many, and smiles were seen all around. Legge just wanted everyone to enjoy themselves and to come back next year.
