Student's father comes to town as Secret Service agent

by Laura Casamento

"The most interesting thing about this job is editor in chief the interesting places we go to all over the world and all over the United States," he said.

Tony Zoccola is not allowed to tell you what he thinks of Monica Lewinsky.

He also can not comment about the impeachment process-or anything else involving President Bill Clinton-at all.

In fact, the only thing that he can tell you about Clinton is that he is very "presidential."

Zoccola, the father of Cabrini junior Gilda Zoccola, has served as a secret service agent for the past 8 l/2 years.

As a protective support technician, Zoccola is not only responsible for driving the President and his staff members to and from events, such as Clinton's recent speech at Norristown High School, but he also fixes and maintains the vehicles and serves as a bodyguard to t.he president aqd his staff members.

According to Zqtcola, ihe Jopks forward to some of the perks bf the job.

However, Zoccola maintains that the constant travel has its drawbacks.

"I don't like being away from my family," he said.

Zoccola, who lives in Maryland, was in the area on Wednesday, Jan. 20 to escort Clinton to his recent speech at Norristown High School.

Due to the strict rules that anyone involved with the president must adhere to, Zoccola is not able to discuss anything about Clinton except in the vaguest terms.

Though most of his time is spent working on the presidential vehicles, such as the limousines and sport utility vehicles, he does get to hang out with Clinton as his driver sometimes.

"He's very presidential," Zoccola said. "That's the only-w~y I can describe him."

Should Clinton stay in office? Students, faculty respond

A poll of the campus community revealed that the opinions of Cabrini students, faculty and staff on whether President Bi~IClinton should be convicted and removed from office are consistent with national polls. Of the 255 people surveyed, 34 percent want Clinton thrown out of office, while 66 percent say he should remain president.

Class running out of time as graduation debate continues

by Brian O'Connell assistant sports editor

Since the construction of the Dixon Center, the administration of Cabrini has decided to have the new recreation center as the site of graduation. However, due to overcrowding in the gymnasium, seniors are protesting and eager to have the graduation outside, which would accommodate more family and friends.

Over Christmas break, senior class president Colleen Mmpby discussed the possibility of having the graduation outside with Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice presint of student development.

"Over break. we discussed the possibility with Dean Bob Bonfiglio of having the graduation outside," Murphy said.

Since the meeting with Bon• figlio, no progress has been • .' made. However, a meeting was held on Wednesday.Jan. 27.with Bonfiglio and a group of seniors to discuss any future plans they may have to improve this situation.

They also hope to make some suggestions the school would accept in order to have the graduation exercises outside.

"Whether or not the graduation will be inside or outside is yet to be detennined,'' said Bonfiglio.

Right now, the seniors really want to have the graduation outside. according to Murphy.

"We want the exercises to be outside, and we are not giving up our fight,'' Murphy said. ''We think it's a honible idea to have it inside the Dixon Center."

With the second semester underway, and graduation fast approaching, time will only tell where the graduation ceremony will be held.
