The number of crimes that have been reported on campus has more than doubled since 1997, according to statistics released by the Department of Public Safety. Vandalism and larceny have recorded the highest increase in all crimes reported in the two year span. Story on page 2.

' New statistics released by the Department of Public Safety show that the rate of crime on Cabrini's campus has more than doubled within the past two years, making it higher than area schools of similar size. College officials are looking for ways to stop the increasing numbers and keep students safe.

by Laura Casamento staff writer

The number of crimes reported on campus jumped almost 60 percent, from 212 incidents in 1997 to 357 in 1998, according to documents released by the Department of Public Safety.

The numbers also reflect an increase of more than double the total crimes reported in 1996.

Incidents of vandalism and larceny were among the crimes with the most marked increase. Vandalism, which according to Public Safety Sgt. Diana Pohl includes

small, isolated incidents, such as broken light fixtures or keyed cars, rose from 93 incidents in 1997 to 181 in 1998. Larceny, or theft, doubled over the year, increasing from 40 incidents in 1997 to 80 incidents in 1998.

Other incidents also rose from 1997 to 1998, such as simple assault (pushing, striking, or other unpremeditated assaults against another person), which rose from two incidents in 1997 to nine in 1998; non-forcible sexual offenses, including touching or other unwanted sexual actions, which increased from zero incidents in

1997 to three in 1998; and disorderly conduct and non-compliance with campus laws and regulations, which rose from 51 incidents in 1997 to 58 in 1998.

However, the numbers of several crimes reported on campus dropped from 1997 to 1998. For example, instances of aggravated assault, which includes premeditated assault or assault against a police officer, fell from seven in 1997 to just one in 1998. In addition, no motor vehicle thefts were reported in 1998, down from two in 1997, and no forcible sexual offenses, including rape, occurred in 1998, compared with one in 1997.

The overall rate of crime, however, rose dramatically, with seven of the 12 reported offense categories showing some sort of rise in number from 1997 to 1998.

Pohl attributes the rise in crimes to several factors. The most prominent of these, she said, is the increased number of students living on campus in residence halls, houses or the Cabrini Apartment Complex.

The termination of Cabrini's contract with Kingswood Apartments, a private complex that rented to students through a deal with the school's Department of Resident Life, resulted in an influx of students at the beginning of the 1997-98 school year.

"When the students returned from Kingswood and everyone lived on campus, it basically became a free-for-all," Pohl said.

'That's when the vandalism rose, especially in the [Cabrini] apart-

ment complex."

Pohl said that vandalism was widespread in the apartment complex, where in the first full year of residence, students threw fire extinguishers through window glass and ripped banisters from walls. She also said that the crimes continued to occur despite routine patrols by Public Safety officers. For example, the banister was pulled from the wall within a tenminute span, between the time an officer had left the building to patrol another area on campus and the time he returned to the building.

"That's how fast it happens," Pohl said.

Due to the increasing numbers of both residents and crimes, the Department of Public Safety hired another patrol officer, which may have also led to more reports of crime on campus. Previously, many crimes were not totaled in the statistics reports because no officer witnessed or investigated the offenses.

However, Pohl said, hiring more officers is not enough, because they simply cannot be everywhere at once.

"We need students' help reporting what they see," she said.

The opening of the Dixon Center may also be contributing to the higher number of offenses on campus. With the opening of the athletic facility, Cabrini also opened its campus to area residents and groups.

"We had more visitors over the year, and with the summer camps that were held here, we had 200 to

300 more people here every week," Pohl said. "That could also be a factor."

Finally, Pohl attributes a number of the crimes to the guests of campus residents. Relaxed rules in the houses and the Cabrini Apartment Complex allow students to have overnight guests, who sometimes become involved in criminal incidents because they have less fear of retribution from campus officials.

The college is planning measures to combat the rising crime rates on campus property. According to Paul Weaver, vice president of student development and dean of students, the Department of Resident Life will be holding educational programming to promote basic safety measures for campus residents.

Weaver said that residents can actually contribute to lowering the crime statistic numbers by taking certain precautions.

"A surprising number of students don't even lock their [dorm room] doors," he said.

"We want the students to look at their personal safety," Weaver said. "Do they take different precautions when they go out at night than when they go out during the day? That's what we want them to look at."

Weaver also said that the college will continue to strictly enforce penalties against students committing more serious crimes, such as seeking prosecution against people involved in felonies.

Public Safety's loss of officers raises questions of safety

The recent loss of officers over the course of the summer and past year have raised questions regarding the safety of students on campus. Although Public Safety is somewhat shorthanded, officers assure that there is no reason for any concern.

Benjamin Lunn editor in chief

Public safety is understaffed. Although the numbers have gone down over the summer, the fact still remains. With the departure of at least three officers over the course of the past year, there are fewer officers working in the department of Public Safety forcing officers to often work double shifts, abd leaving job openings.

According to Cabrini's website which was last updated on July 29, there were four positions open in the Department. According to the FYI Newsletter dated September 1, there were 3 positions open. Sergeant Diane Pohl, acting director of Public Safety, and Tom Kelly, say that the staff

is currently only two officers short, thanks greatly to Officer Sam Coleman, a Resident Assistant in Dixon House last year.

Coleman was unavailable for comment due to a family emergency, however Kelly chimed in on Sam's behalf, calling him "an asset to the department." Kelly adds with a laugh that "he already knows his way around here, so all we really had to do was show him what keys to use."

When asked about the overtime hours that officers are now working, Pohl maintains that it is a common occurrence for officers to work overtime, citing the recent flooding in Founder's Hall. The amount of overtime that an officer does varies from week to week.

According to Kelly, it is not uncommon for an officer to work a normal workload one week, and then pick up somewhere between 14-20 hours of overtime the next week. During the floods

the workload to a somewhat normal capacity for most officers, Kelly added.

These facts have raised questions about safety on campus. Is it still safe on campus? Are there enough officers to work all of the shifts? Is it safe for officers to work so much overtime?

in Founder's Hall, the total amount of hours overtime for the department was 74 - which averages to about 15 or 16 per person.

about their safety, because there will always be enough officers on duty. The shortage is not extreme to the point where safety is an issue.

Phase II construction continues on the parking-lot side of Founder's Hall. This part of the building, which for years housed the Founder's Hall gymnasium, will be the new home of the communications department.

According to Kelly, the answer is a resounding yes to all of these questions. He admits that naturally the overtime puts a certain amount of stress on the officers, but it is not a compromise to anyone's safety. "There are always going to be enough officers on duty," Kelly said. "If there's any question about adequate coverage, one officer will usually take on that shift." Kelly stressed that the students should not worry

Another variable thrown into the coverage issue has been the relative quietness of the campus this year. "This year has gotten off to a much less aggravating and difficult start," Kelly said. Due to the relative quietness of the campus this year, even if any shortage did exist, it would probably not be felt.

Kelly also wanted to remind the students that there would always be enough officers on duty to handle any situation, should one occur.

''There are always going to be enough officers on duty."

Water in Sullivan House ''wets'' tempers of some on campus

Recent storms in the area have caused problems in house 7. During the heavy rains, the basement has flooded on two separate occasions. Although students living there are assured that they are only isolated incidents, students are inconvenienced by the problems.

BenjaminLunn editorin chief

Anyone who has been in Founder's Hall in the past weeks has noticed the slight musty smell on the bottom floor from the flooding in Founder's. Slightly less wellknown is the flooding that occurred in the basement of house seven, Sullivan House.

The main difference between the flooding in Founder's and the flooding in Sullivan House is what sleeps in the basement. There are two triples in the basements of the house, each of which have been affected by the flooding.

one.

According to junior Maureen McDevitt, she and her roommates have to keep .a dehumidifier in the room until the musty smell that has been there since they moved in is gone. The smell is just now barely noticeable, so they have moved the dehumidifier into the hall.

Thursday was the second time that the House has flooded this school year. The first time that the basement flooded was at the Leadership Conference during a large rainstorm in late August.

No one was living in the basement at the time. Unfortunately for those that were moving in, the rooms were not ready for them. According to junior Nicole Dickinson, there were parts of the walls in the boiler room that were

covered with mud when she moved in. Those residents were not allowed to move in for a few days after the fact. According to Paul Weaver, interim VP of Student Development, the school was "taken completely by surprise."

There were no available beds for the students to stay in for the days that were needed to clean up the mess, and so Weaver resorted to what he considered a standard practice. 'They needed somewhere safe and close to the campus to stay," Weaver said. Weaver opted to put the students up in a local hotel, but only after he checked to make sure that the hotel fit their needs for safety. Even though the hotel was an inconvenience, McDevitt thanks Weaver for his help and assistance.

Aside from the aid of Weaver, McDevitt felt that the school should have at least notified her before she moved in. "'They should have at least called at home;' McDevitt said. All of her belongings that she could not bring with her to the hotel had to go to storage until she was allowed to move in.

Dickinson feels that this should be fixed for the future, to prevent any more inconveniences. According to Public Safety and Weaver, however, these incidents are isolated and occurred solely due to the drought, the slope of the hill that house seven sits on and the sheer volume of the rain.

'The ground was so dry from the drought, and the rain was so hard that the ground just couldn't handle all of it;' said Weaver.

is one of the reasons for the flooding.

The stonn this past Thursday caused a minor amount of flooding, which did little more than inconvenience the students living there. Throughout the night, Public safety continually checked in on the basement of the house, to make sure that the situation was well in hand. Those living in the basement were warned, however, that they should avoid any contact with water that seeped in. They were told that the water may have run through some electrical wires, and that the chance of electric shock from contact with the water was a good

Fall flings into action

Shanna Lynn Fanelli

a & e editor

It was a day of fun, games, free food and good music for the Cabrini community last Sunday, Sept 12 at the annual Fall Fling event.

'rhis years festive celebration not only featured a variety of activities, as well as the popular band 11:11, but also welcomed the 76ers, whose basketball shooting contest was enjoyed by many. The contest, hosted by former player World B. Free, was composed of an assortment of circular mats, each boasting a different number. Players would make their shots from a mat and if the shot from the spot made a hit, then whatever number their tootsies were gracing became a score. The object of the game was to rack up the most points. The winner would recieve free tickets to a 76ers game.

"I participated in the basketball contest with the 76ers," Brian O'Connell, a junior, said. "It was cool!"

Other amusements included the liberating Moonbounce, volleyball games as

well as, according to junior Ben Lunn, "the coolest thing there, the bungee run." This attraction allowed oppenents to stretch themselves and tug their limbs in an attempt to out-distance each other while being attatched to a bungee cord.

The Y-100 radio station also made an appearance while the free t-shirts made a fast

disspaearence, as attendants eagerly snatched them up and carried em' off.

"Of all the Fall Flings I've attended," Shannen Downs, a senior, said, "I think this is one of the best tum-outs where most of the people were involved in the games."

"We gave away all 400 t-shirts," Josh Hage, a senior, said.

Mid-afternoon sported a performance by the band 11:11, while the scent of a barbecue feast, grilled up by Wood Dinning Service, permeated the air.

"11:11 was excellent," Hage said. "I loved them!"

Some, however, would have liked to have seen the band perform earlier. "The band didn't start playing till 12:30," Frank Plumb, a sophomore, said.

Still, the afternoon offered not only a good time, but a chance to hang out with friends and have fun.

"I know Colin McGinley, Trish Arnold and Coleen did a great job pulling everything together," Downs said. "The whoe staff worked really well together and did a great job."

"Y-100was the best thing there," Plumb said.

The activities and entertainment wasn't the only thing that made the day. Mother Nature cooperated with beautifuol weather that added to the good spirits.

ROCKING SENSATION LIVES ON

By Chris Vesci Staff Writer

Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, a warm and crowd pleasing musical revue, has found its way to Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theatre. Judging by the five minute standing ovation at the show's end, Philly is crazy about Buddy Holly.

Lighting the marquis until October 24, the show obviously tells the true tale of rocl< and roller Buddy Holly, who rose to fame in an era of juke box hits only to be killed tragically with the Big Bopper and Richie Valens, fellow rocking sensations. With a score that includes Holly's unsinkable hits such as "Peggy Sue" and "Oh Boy," the music is a sure bet for all ages. In fact, Buddy has been playing in London for nearly ten years.

As Buddy Holly, Christopher Sutton is extremely convincing and has a wonderful voice. His energy and spirit are truly remarkable, and he guides the audience on a rumbling and rolling voyage into the history of American music. The soul screeching sisters played by Tiffany Michelle Cooper, Grace Garland, and Joilet F. Harris, are a

PLAYBILC

wonderful compliment to the cast during Buddy's stint at the Apollo Theatre. The rest of the ensemble are talented showmen also, especially since most of them play instruments as well as sing. A much enjoyed highlight comes near the show's end, when Richie Valens, played effectively by Nick Anselmo, breaks into "La Bamba."

The musical does have some flaws, primarily found in the sluggish and awkward drama between Buddy's songs. The acting is not what it could be, but this is often the case in a musical revue, where the players are performers rather than actors. The show's finest moments are in its concertlike settings, with Buddy tearing out hit after hit after hit. And, it is a relief to report that Buddy does not dwell upon the plane crash that so shockingly ended Holly's life. While it is mentioned a few times and somewhat incorporated into a scene, Buddy is truly a celebration of Buddy Holly and not a sob story.

For the ultimate rocking experience, forget those phony songs in Grease-Buddy boasts the real thing. For ticket information on Buddy, visit the Walnut Street Theatre's website at www.wstonline.org or call 1-215574-3550.

/That' s my munchkin!'

Shanna Lynn Fanelli features

editor

The computer screen flashes obediently with the double-click of the mouse. Seconds later the monitor whirs and Joe Santorine, director of Recreation and Activities in the Dixon Center, breaks out into a grin so big his eyes crinkJe at the corners. Beaming up from the screen is a beautiful baby girl whose huge smile gives testament to the laughter she's creating.

"That's my munchkin!" Santorine exclaims, zooming in on the picture of his two-and-a-half-year old daughter, Elizabeth.

Back in April, Cabrini had participated in a bone marrow drive in the hopes of finding a match for Elizabeth, who has a form of leukemia that can only be cured with the exact match of bone marrow. Two were found, one being her mother, Margarite Santorine, who became Elizabeth's donor.

On June 18, Elizabeth endured her last round of chemotherapy and underwent total body radiation. At 5:30 on June 25, Margarite's bone marrow was put into Elizabeth. From there on it was a "wait-and-see game" as the family held its breath, waiting to see if Elizabeth's small body would reject the marrow.

The transplant was a success.

But the trials had just begun. For almost five weeks, Elizabeth spent half her summer in a 12 x 16 hospital room of isolation. In order for a bone marrow transplant to be effective, the immune system must be completely wiped out, so it was crucial that Elizabeth be kept in a per-

pened one day. Elizabeth had been allowed to walk around her room when the broviac catheter, which is a tube that enters her chest wall into her heart for the administration of medical drugs, suddenly broke. Thankfully the situation was rectified quickly.

"Elizabeth is quite remarkable," Santorine says. "She's had her spleen removed and a broviac catheter put in her chest that required five months of daily cleanings."

There was also a scare when Elizabeth's white blood

dangers of infections. When her body broke out in the form of a rash that resembled prickly heat and poison ivy, due to a little Graph vs. Host disease, the body's natural reaction against foreign substance that showed her new, healthy cells were becoming a part of her system, Elizabeth became, in her fathers words, a "toddler on steroids."

"I have her on a weight routine," Santorine jokes, "to bulk her up."

All joking aside, the Santorine family knows just how lucky they are. "I want to thank everybody from Cabrini for the support, prayers and contributions to the bone marrow drives," Santorine said. "Because of those drives we are saving other lives."

Santorine is referring to the two people from Limerick who have found bone marrow matches.

"Here's a funny thing," he said. "It turns out that one of the donors is a friend of a friend and the other is a friend."

Santorine is adamant on the subject of bone marrow drives. "Due to the drives," he states, "there is now 11,176 people on the national register for bone marrow donations. I am convinced in a year from now we will be able to say we have saved the lives of ten people."

The family has constructed a web site that they started before Elizabeth's transplant. Here there are pictures of Elizabeth, updates and records of her events with leukemia as well as inspirational and heartfelt messages from people who log on to show their support.

"We were very lucky," Santorine says.

The family had more than luck when something hap-

To add to the joy of being able to give his daughter such a precious gift, Santorine was also able to donate his platelets to the other children in need of platelet donations at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

EDITORIAL

How safe are we?

It is true that our college has seen a dramatic increase in the number of crimes reported over the last few years. And yes, the increased number of students on campus has no doubt played a significant role in the unfortunate rise.

What is disturbing about the college's response is that while the number of students to protect has increased, the number of Public Safety officers to protect them has decreased.

We have no reason to think that more officers won't be hired; we would just like to see the process speeded up.

This year has been a relatively quiet and peaceful one for the college, which we all hope will continue. Should it not, however, do we really want to have solely on public safety officers who are working from 14-20 of overtime?

The only acceptable response to this concern lies in the college's hiring of a few more welltrained officers to relieve the currently overworked crew.

The issue of safety for Cabrini students and their property is not one that can be overlooked. We sincerely hope that answers to the questions of lighting on campus, call boxes not working, and understaffed Public Safety are soon answered.

individual writer or any member of the faculty, staff or administration.

If there are any problems here on campus, as far as partying is concerned, they are problems created by Cabrini. The way I see it, there is nothing different about Cabrini from any other school of the same size in the region. So can someone please explain to me why our visitation hours, building rules, and alcohol restrictions seem so much stricter?

they need and want in their own dorms in regard to visitation hours, they wouldn't need to go to the apartments every night. But then again, if first-year students do continue to hang out at the apartments, so what? What does Cabrini expect? And what about the apartment residents who were supposed to have the right to have visitors whenever they wanted?

I'm sure that I'm going to catch a lot of flack from the administration for asking that question. And I wouldn't be surprised if they can actually back up their criticism with statistics and rules of other schools.

But let's face it; has any resident here had a friend come to visit Cabrini who thought that our rules and regulations weren't over the top?

Recently, I've been hearing rumors about the school instituting visitation hours in the apartment complex. These hours were supposedly aimed at keeping firstyear students out of the apartments. I asked Paul Weaver about these rumors, who told me that they were just that-rumors. However, he did tell me that there has been concern over the number and size of the parties in the apartments, and that the quiet hours are going to be more strictly enforced.

My solution? Give the kids in Xavier and Woodcrest a break. If first-year students were given the freedom

The administration needs to keep in mind that the apartments were originally touted as independent living within the campus community. No one should really be surprised that they turned into a popular party spot. I cannot and will not try to justify the damage that the apartments have suffered because of the partying that goes on there, but again, my view is supported that Cabrini essentially created a monster when they built the apartments.

Cabrini has yet to find their "happy place" in regard to housing; the same can be said for many students. So many students are unhappy with either their living space or their living conditions that campus has to be unbearable for a lot of people, both students and administration alike. In last week's issue of Loquitur, we talked about the opportunities presented to students for opening up lines of communication with new key members of the administration. Maybe it's time we tested those lines.

Janice Funk is the managing editor of Loquitur. If anyone wants to help her find her happy place, just let us know.

LETTERS

Over the course of the past spring and summer, a great tragedy slowly but gradually took place on this lovely campus of ours. The changes are obvious, but the reasons and implications are not quite so easily seen at first glance. Having worked in the Student Development Office continuously over the past year, I have seen in depth the first results of the many new decisions that recently took place.

There is now only one administrator left in the offices of Widener Center who had been the~e previous to this fall. Dr. Bob Bonfiglio, Dean of Students, Emma Legge, Director of Student Activities, Cathy Caulfield, Director of Resident Life, Dawn Rocci, Assistant Director of Resident Life, all of the Resident Directors, and Arlene Smith, one of the campus ministers have all left campus for other positions within the past year. John DiMucci, campus minister, is the only dedicated school official to remain in Widener! What could cause such a mass exodus of staff? Though many students voiced problems about many of these individuals over heated lunch debates in the cafe or through editorials in the Loquitur, one must begin to wonder under what conditions so many people would leave at once. In the farewell addresses of several of these individuals, I got the distinct impression that though they were sorry to leave Cabrini, they were also ready to let go the puppet strings of administration that had so long tied them down.

The past and present treatment of students at Cabrini has been under constant question for years. The most recent examples that students seem to be outraged about include the housing or lack thereof and interactions with the Business Office. A significant number of students were not cleared by the business office by mid-August and were not notified until the week before classes were to begin. When this list was delivered to the Student Development Office by a woman from the Business Office, I was asked to give the list to Mr. Weaver, the present acting Dean of Students. As she handed the sheets of names across the desk, she said with a grin, "This is the list of business holdspeople who can not move on campus. Paul [Weaver] will be really happy to have this." I was absolutely infuriated because she was implying both by words and tone of voice that the offices are happy when people can not move on campus due to financial difficulty. If this school truly has the goal of building a caring community of learners, how can they be happy about losing even one member? Likewise, the campus community can not possibly be the same with the tragic loss of so many caring administrative staff members. Again I ask, what drove so many of them away all at once? Could it possibly have been the attitude of the school at large?

The contradictions abound - a Catholic-affiliated liberal arts college that is

TO THE EDITOR

not often supportive of campus ministry activities, rarely liberal, and barely supportive of the arts. A school that uses our money to build a fountain at the edge of our already beautiful campus instead of just giving pay to well-qualified faculty and staff, or offering additional financial aid to dedicated and deserving but financially struggling students. Or a school where the oft considered most dedicated and respected professor both on campus and in his field (who brings much needed positive publicity to our tiny campus) can not get tenure. A school that professes respect for the environment as a core value, but has been in defiance of Radnor Township ordinances on recycling that have been in place for over nine years. This school has had its most heated debate over the important, but easily decided, issue of where graduation should be held while other schools debate policy and worldwide issues. The same school where the theatre department puts on amazing shows with no budget and "an embarrassing overabundance of talent" in a mere a closet of a theatre; and a school that advertises itself to prospective students as a family, yet it describes itself to current students as a "business" that "is not a democracy".

I was very concerned that the replacements for much of the staff were found too quickly and without regard to quality decisionmakers and creative individuals who will help build the community. Thus far I have been impressed by many and disappointed by a few of the new people now "running" this school. I personally challenge all administrators old and new to face the responsibility of answering to the people who pay your salaries even if it means breaking the puppeteer's strings for the good of the students. Many "clients" of the "business" at Cabrini College have been dissatisfied. You can change this.

I would like to end this letter by asking Cabrini College to offer its utmost gratitude and deepest thanks to Ms. Jennifer Reither - a senior student and administrative assistant in the Student Development Office for the past summer. Working by her side daily this summer, I watched as this young woman singlehandedly hold together not only the turnover of Student Development, but also the Resident Life Office. This was an overwhelmingly large task that she handled with extreme professionalism and a generosity of spirit that has rarely been seen on this campus. I will expect that and more from the new faces on campus.

Sincerely, Teresa Ann Martin

\Ok, I have heard some pretty crazy things since I have arrived at Cabrini last fall. First it was tuition being raised to build a new pond for the Fall '99. Then I heard that Cabrini solves the parking problems by building a new dorm over two of their lots. Once I even heard that the peace pole was being sent out for repairs. If that seems outrageous, wait until you hear what happened at Woodcrest one night to my friend Adam and I.

We arrived on the steps of Woodcrest around 10 p.m. on the Sunday before Labor Day to see our girlfriends. We have gone through the same routine since we were freshman. Call the room, sign our names in and wait until our girl- c friends come to the door to escort us back to the room. You get the idea. Anyway, Adam and I agreed that we would meet in the lobby at midnight after public safety kicked us out for the night. By the way, why do we have to leave early on a night before a holiday? Don't you think we should have weekend hours on nights like that?

Back to the story, our girlfriends came down, and we were off to their rooms. Who would have thought what would happen next?

Sometime within those next two hours we both needed to use the bathroom. At separate times. Remember that Woodcrest only has one men's room, which is located in the lobby.

I went into the lobby, heading towards the men's room to do something that I have done many times since I was born, when I felt a little tug on my shirt. "What are you doing?" one of the new Resident Assistants asked me. I said that I was just going to the bathroom. I thought maybe I had made the mistake of almost walking into the women's bathroom. I've done it before on nights of outrageous parties. She then asked me where my escort was, and I replied, "I don't know, probably in her room." She told me that I was not allowed to enter the bathroom without my escort walking me there. I told her that this was absurd and a violation of student's rights. She said, "it has been a rule since last year, and they are enforcing it this year." I told her that I never heard that rule and I begged like a little kid "May I please use the bathroom?" She replied, "Go ahead, but tell your girlfriend that I will write her up the next time this happens." Later on, I found out that the same thing happened to my friend Adam. Come on everybody, sometimes we can all deal with all the sh-- that Cabrini dishes out, but what happens when you are denied to take one?

up to what I want to talk about. The problem is that I'm really not too sure what I want to talk about. I guess I can just shoot from the hip, again.

So, I moved into the apartments here on campus, and I would like to say that they are pretty darn nice. Central air, a nice kitchen, free phone calls, laundry, and all for the low cost of $7,000 plus dollars. What more can I ask for? Well actually, probably one of the highest

As I walked around the apartments, I noticed how nice things were, and how they were nicer than the Sullivan house of junior year and the Lanshe house from sophomore year. If you ask me, I have always managed to live in the worst housing for the past three years. The best part of this is that my class is asked to pay more and more every year, and it seems that the money is not being properly placed back to the students. I guess that is beside the point, since the administration can't honestly answer the question, I will not ask you to.

Anyway, I decided that it was really stuffy on the third floor, and it would be smart if I were to open the window in the room were the washing machines are. Wrong, they are nailed shut. So

COl\11\IENT.\RY

CHRIS NIELSEN

I don't know about you, but I am pretty bloody tired already. And I know that I'm not the only one. It seems like every time I ask how someone is doing, they respond with either "Man, I'm tired" or "Yo, I'm f---ed up!"

The reason I bring this up is because the school year has only been going for three weeks, and already many people are beat. I have a theory about this. I think that some of the people who get involved on campus tend to take things a little bit too far.

I got to thinking about this at about 1:00 on a Monday night, while I wanted to sleep but couldn't because there was too much on my mind. A few

After I initially psyched myself up into running again, reality set in. I know that I would not make many morning runs after staying up late hours in the newsroom. I also wouldn't make many Sunday runs, because I work off campus every Sunday to help pay my tuition. And I haven't even started my Work Study hours yet.

Now don't feel bad, I've still found time to get cleared out of the apartments a couple of times. But that's for another commentary.

My best friend has a creed that I strive to follow. "Give it all, or give it nothing," are his words of wisdom. So I recently decided that it is better to do a few things well then to do many things and be half-assed about them.

Cabrini seems to be split evenly between those who do a lot and those who do nothing. You can

I went to turn the air on, Wrong, it did not work. So I went to open the window in the hallway, wrong, it was nailed shut. So in a moment of furry, I threw the fire extinguisher threw the other window and shattered it.. just kidding.

Can you imagine that, almost all of the windows are nailed shut, only a couple of them can be opened. It is a good thing for that, because I finally opened a window, looked out and saw the back parking lot of the apartments. It sure was a sight for sore eyes, about 500 cans and glass bottles, empty box's and, under a pile of black garbage bags, the smallest garbage dumpster I have ever seen in my life, well almost. There was garbage everywhere, and pilled way over the safety limit that was placed on

the dumpster. Without even second-guessing the situation, I figured that we were probably going to get fined for this mess. Although one of my Resident Assistants was very understanding to the situation, and said not to worry about it, it still made me wonder. Why can't we have two garbage dumpsters? That is because it would be way too easy for the school to do. Which would lead me to my conclusion to this commentary. It is like the cheese I was talking about earlier, you have to get off you butt, and do it yourself. Nothing here will get done by just complaining to your drunken friends. Get involved and speak up, there are people that will listen, just go and talk to them, they are here for you, Joe Elliott is the design editor of Loquitur. His favorite cheese is Swiss.

Loquitur is established as a forum for student expression and as a voice in the uninhibited, robust, free and open discussion of issues.

probably figure out which group you fit into. Just subtract the number of hours you play video games in your room from the number of hours in a day.

I don't want this article to give people the wrong idea. It is important to get involved with your college. But you also have to know your limits. And if your sports or activities are in conflict with one another, you should try and see which ones you really care about.

The bottom line is, no matter what you're involved in, it will be something that means a lot to someone. If it is third of fourth most important to you, that can lead to a lot of stress and exhaustion. And there is no club on campus that is worth that price. Chris Nielsen is perspectives editor of Loquitur. If you see him near any open windows, make no sudden moves.

Reid might be the man as Eagles look to rebuild ,

BRIAN O'CONNELL

Now that the football season has started, so many people are so quick to badmouth the Eagles and the season. Yes, they went 3-13 last year. That was horrible. But that was when Ray Rhodes was head coach of the team. Since then.the organization has focused on re-building itself to hopefully compete somday for a Super Bowl championship. Everyone was expecting that when Ray Rhodes was hired. It never happened.

Since then, the Eagles hired Andy Reid as head coach. It seems to me that he is trying to instill a tremendous confidence in his players. The defense has been the story thus far this season. Look at the pre-season game against the Minnesota Vikings. They lost by four which was to me was very impressive and held a highscoring football team to seventen points. Reid,so far seems to be the man. I know it is way too early to tell where the future of this team is going. Someday, they will wake up and start pointing the team in the direction of a Super Bowl. They hawe yet

to do that since Jeff Lurie bought the team. Fans are really down on the team this year. The first game of the season was not even televised due to the number of fans needed to broadcast the game on television. However, the Eagles suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Cardinals. The fans were even more upset when the team selected Donovan McNabb in the NFL draft. There are the negatives and positives for this team. The negatives are the front office and their decisions. The positives do not amount to much at all with the mess they are digging themselves out of now.

With all of this going on, it is time for the fans to sit back and be patient. But, that is not Philadelphia to anyone. The fans are very hard on their teams. They always want to see their teams win. When they are not winning, which has been the case for the last several years, it really irritates the fans. The Eagles have a good nucleus to work around and it all start with the quarterback running the offense. Sit back and watch this team. I really do believe Andy Reid is the man for this team. He has them going through tougher practices than Rhodes' did and has the defense and special teams improving. The offense is really the hole they have to develop to reach the level of the defense and special tams right now.

It will no doubt take time for this team to develop, but the front office does have to wake up and start making smarter decisions. I think they made one when they hired Andy

Reid as head coach. He seems much more determined than Ray Rhodes. Ray Rhodes just babbled about making plays and they would look at this and that to improve the team. He never came close to accomplishing what he wanted to and that was win a Super Bowl. Now the Eagles have gambled selecting Reid as the head coach. This guy really seems like he wants to get this team motivated and focused on what they have to do to win as many games as possible and play their best. The team may only win four or five games at the most, but I think the development is something worth seeing.

The defense has improved already over last year and the special teams is not the joke it once was. Do not get me wrong, this team has a long ways to go before they threaten to do anything. But, they have shown that want to play their best. A good example would be the game against the Cardinals. They had the lead, but due to inexperience the team lost the game at the end and could not stop the Arizona drive which gave them the winning field goal.

Are the Eagles really as bad as people say they are? Sports Illustrated has them ranked last in the NFL which may be pushing it a little bit. I do believe this team will develop and will someday have more wins than losses. Only time will tell. So, sit back and be patient. I think it is bound to happen soon enough.

Field hockey team falls to Rowan 5-0

by Cynthia Taura copy editor

The field hockey game of Cabrini versus Rowan starts off with a sudden change in weather. The sky turns cloudy, the humidity starts dying down and claps of thunder can be heard in the distance. This, however, did not appear to have an affect on the team to achieve the win they wished for. Unfortunately, their wish did not come true.

The size difference between

Rowan's and Cabrini's team was obvious. When each team gathered in a circle to discuss their newest strategy, the difference could be seen.

About 10 minutes into the game, Cabrini was trailing 2-0.

Little did Cabrini know that they were to remain scoreless for the whole game. The end result was Rowan beating Cabrini, 5-0.

A disappointed coach Jackie Neary said "I want to put this all

behind me. The PAC games start on Saturday with Alvernia. We need to learn, but don't have time to dwell, we need to move on. The girls were exhausted." They played against Textiles the night before, suffering another loss. "We will see what happens on Saturday. Saturday is a big game" Neary said. Naturally, the girls shared Neary's disappointment. Junior Lisa Reynolds said "Everyone wants to be good. We're tired of losing."

Senior and captain Christine Aldorasi said, "We're working hard, having good chances. It'll come. It all comes down to luck."

The PAC games represents the beginning of the season. They have one win against Rosemont.

Tennis team swings away to a 9-0

romping

over Cheyney to even record

by Chris Vesci staff writer

The women's tennis team defeated Cheyney University Sunday to celebrate their first win of the season and even their overall record to 1-1. The Cavs beat their rivals by a score of 9-0 and in the .opinion of head coach Reggie Day, triumphed over the difficult conditions that the match presented.

One major challenge the women faced was playing without their number one player, Gina Verelli, who could not attend the match. Therefore, every player was bumped up a notch on the roster. Coach Day stated, "Because everyone moves up that puts us at a disadvantage-right away people are playing above the position

<1:1 they'd normally play." However, Day was quite pleased with the team's efforts. Lori Gibbons, who

was bumped up to number one that day, played especially well, and Day declared that his young and somewhat inexperienced team was looking ''better and better."

"As long as you do your best,I'm happy."

Reggie Day Tennis coach

Cheyney's team, who postponed the match from Saturday to Sunday, did not have enough eligible players and had to forfeit a double and two singles. This added an additional two points onto Cabrini's score.

Nicole Klimas, captain along with Lori Gibbons, summed up the match by saying, "I think we

Though Day agrees he has reason for optimism, he is quick to point out that the season is just getting started, and he won't be able to accurately judge it until the end of October. He simply tells his players, "As long as you do your best, I'm happy."

Slumping Phillies lose ailing Schillingng

by Brian O'Connell sports editor

Phillies ace Curt Schilling is on the bench again after experiencing some pain in his elbow and shoulder.

Manager Terry Francona stated, that Schilling is fine, it is just that he is hurt. However, it was said that he was not hurt enough to be taken out of the lineup in a game against the Houston Astrods a few nights ago.

The Phillies staff has arranged that Schilling pitch at least one game this coming weekend against the New York Mets at Shea stadium. However, all of

that will depend upon how well his arm feels.

Schilling attended to family matters this past weekend as he was attending to his son, Gehrig, who just had his tonsils taken out. Upon returning with the team, he threw for practice in the outfield, but decided that it was in the team's amd his best interests that he not pitch.

It is reported that therre is no injury to his arm. There is some mysterious problem with the muscle in his biceps.

Schilling is hopeful tha the winter will help resolve this problem.

Phillies Phacts

ReMDing to the Phillies roster are short-

stop Desi Relaford, catcher Bobby Estalella, and outfielder Wendell Magee Jr.

Relaford was activated from the disabled list wjere he spent sixty days. Estalella and Magee were brought up from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Because of the reMD of these players, Estalella, Mike Liberthal, Toro Prince and Gary Bennett, who are all catchers met with Phillies' manager Terry Francona to discuss their playing time for the remainder of the season.

Francona stated that one of them is going to see reduced playing time because of the reMD of the three players. He wanted to be sure they were aware of that.
