EDITOR IN CHIEF

Sept. 11 has changed our nation. With Tuesday's announcement of a hightened terror alert from moderate risk to high risk, America continues to adapt to a post Sept. 11 world. But has it changed Cabrini?

Senior Kat Pirrone, of Brooklyn, remembers the change immediately after the attacks. "Last year, people - complete strangers - offered to drive me home after it happened. Everyone was sympathetic and wondering how I was,"Pironne said.

Pironne nearly lost her father, who worked in Tower Two. "He was at breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts four blocks away when it happened, " she said.

Students not directly involved with the attacks noticed the change as well.

"When Sept. 11 bappened, everyone was nicer and reached out more," Annmarie Smith, junior, said.

"Whether or not you knew the person, if you needed help they would help."

A year later, Cabrini has returned to normalcy, according to Joye Shrager, counselor at the Rooyman's Center. "The nature of the age is to live in the moment. Sept. 11 is a past moment now," Shrager said.

"Students didn't forget about it, but it's not the first thing on their minds anymore."

The 16 acre debate

"It would be nice to see the same towers but with new buildings it will keep memories. It would be a good idea to see different plags displayed."

In the wake of 9/11, architects are d_ebating proposals to restore the spirit of New York City and its unique skyline.

"I'm happy that they're using the space and not leaving it bare. It's showing that • what happened was not so devastating that we can't rebuild."

Joanna Gardner junior English/comm.

"Leave it how things are. Maybe put a park, maybe a cemetary within the park. Leave it as a place of remembrance."

SGA seeks more school spirit

SHANNO!\ KING FEATURESEDITOR

If there is one thing that the Student Government Association would like to change this year, it would be the amount of school and community spirit exhibited on campus by the students, faculty and staff. The new president of SGA, Bernadette Hazel, is working on ways to build community relationships and form a sense of togetherness on campus.

"The focus of this year is to get as many clubs, associations, organizations and class boards involved in what SGA does as possible," Hazel said. SGA cares about what is going on and would like to become more involved with everything on campus. New ideas and new programs are always welcome from anyone who has anything to contribute.

One of the things SGA has in the works right now is a Midnight

Madness/ Homecoming weekend.

Midnight Madness is always a big thing on campus and this year community spirit is key. "This year we are going to invite alumni and get as many clubs and organizations involve~ as possible. There are always a lot of home games on that particular weekend and alumni are always interested in coming out and supporting the teams so we figured this would be a great way to boost community spirit," Hazel said. If all goes as planned, Midnight Madness will be held on Oct. 25 and Homecoming will be Oct. 26.

Hazel said, "The main goal that everyone is striving for right now is Cavalier Spirit. We need to work better with the class boards and all the clubs to give them as much support as possible. Everyone should know that they always have a voice in the SGA office."

A bill that was signed in 1998 by Bill Clinton is affecting radio stations that now try to stream their broadcasts on the Internet. Cabrini's own 89.1 WYBF-FM "The Burn," and stations like Philadelphia's 93.3 WMMR-FM, AOL and Yahoo radio all fall under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in 1998. The act was approved on Feb. 21, 2002; despite protest, the bill is still active.

Web streaming is or was the new way that radio stations across the country could ~ain new listener-ship or continue to have an old listener listening to the same station, even if they are out of the station's range. No matter the size or financial status of the station, any station could reach any listener with an Internet connection.

The act was presented after the Recording Industry Association of America discovered that the streaming of radio broadcasts could lead to further file sharing, reducing profit.

1998, would have to not only pay fees this year, but the fees would be retroactive dating back to when th'e bill was passed in 1998. The only Internet stations that could afford these types of fees are stations like Yahoo and AOL who are partnered with business firms.

Another wild-andcrazy college night jam packed with reality television and bad pizza. Get a Life! (we can help.)

According to www.rice.edu/ cb/sos, the Copy-right Arbitration Royalty Panel filed a report based on the findings of the RIAA. The DMCA demands that radio stations streaming take responsibility. The act, according to Will Robedee, general manager of KTRU-FM at Rice University and webmaster of a website, www.rice.edu/cb/sos, which tracks the legal issues regarding the act, said, "There are three areas that are problematic for web casters. The three are: royalty fees, record keeping requirements and determining the amount of listeners per hour."

Krista Mazzeo, general manager of WYBF-FM, and the communications center supervisor, said, " The cost of the station to broadcast regularly costs around $300, if it web streams under the DMCA regulations, it would be $2000 just to stream." The stations that had been streaming since

Mazzeo further explained the complications of keeping records according to the 1998 act. " Every time we play one song we have to keep a record of the artist, the title of the album, the UPC symbol, the CD code and instead of writing this down, it all must be typed. Furthermore, if you only use a song for l O seconds, like in the background of a public service announcement, the exact timing of where the song was played must be recorded also."

There would also be limits in playing the same artist in the same hour. "You can not play two songs off of the same album by the same artist in a row." According to the RIAA, this is to make sure that no one records an entire album and puts it on a file sharing website.

Mazzeo had just worked with the Information Technology Resources department over the summer and had everything ready to stream. She then found out that

to stream it would cost more to stream than broadcast. Mazzeo said, "The station is under what could be called a union for college radio stations called the Intercollegiate Broadcast System. The IBS is fighting for small and college radio stations so they will hopefully have to pay a small flat fee."

While the RlAA contends that it is doing the right thing by protecting the copyrights of artists and the music, Mazzeo thinks differently. "I think that the RlAA is trying to put an end to web streaming entirely because it means they would lose some profit. Something has to give for college radio stations."

Robedee agrees with Mazzeo. He said, "Web streaming allows for stations that have bad receptions around their own community to have better reception, and the stations also have no geographical limitation."

As for right now, WYBF's website located at www.wybf.com, is streaming while legal questions about streaming continue.

Woman hit by car on c~mpus

VINCE DEFRUSCIO NEWS EDITOR

A Brazilian global outreach intern was struck by a car on the main entrance driveway off of King of Prussia Road, on Monday, Sept. 2, the 'apparent victim of a hit and run accident.

Rogeria Costa de Paula, 38, came to America from Brazil for the first time in August, to be the very first outreach intern at the Wo1fington Center for Service and Leadership. De Paula specializes in Afro-Brazilian identity and teaches on the university level in her native country.

Charles Schaffner, director of public safety, was contacted for comment, but he declined to provide an incident report. However. according to a police report obtained from the Radnor Township Police Department, de Paula ~s w!lking up the main driveway on campus, her back toward the King of Prussia Road entrance.

Suddenly, and out of nowhere, a car appeared, headed westbound down the driveway. De Paula describes seeing the car, and trying to avoid impact by running. The vehicle struck de Paula in the shin, breaking her left foot.

The driver of the vehicle, which is being described as a large, da.rlc,possibly green vehicle, with an uncovered spare tire mounted on the rear," never stopped to assist de Paula. While de Paula could not identify the

Hedtke writes book on presidency, 22nd amendment

Dr. James Hedtke, department chair for the history and political science department, has written and released his first scholarly work entitled "Lame Duck Presidents: Myth or Reality." Combing the whole process for writing the book, it took Hedtke 10 years to gather his information • for its release.

driver, she was able to provide a description of the passenger. According to the police report, the passenger is described ~s "white, probably male, with medium to dark wavy hair." Radnor police checked the local area around the school, but were unsuccessful in finding the suspects.

De Paula was treated and released from Bryn l'viawr Hospital. She walked up the driveway on her broken foot, limping to the New Residence Hall, where Tricia Arnold, residence director of the New Residence Hall, assisted de Paula in getting help.

Meanwhile, de Paula says, "I am very happy to be here; the people are very friendly." When speaking about her injury, she states, "This wiU get better."

What de Paula cannot understand, is how anotner person could just leave her lying on the ground, I O feet away from the main entrance into school.

"Accidents happen,'' de Paula said, "But it is important for young people to think about responsibility." De Paula is afraid that the person who struck her will strike someone else on campus.

De Paula feels that her semester here will be a "good opportunity,'' to educate people about Afro-Brazilian relations. Racism is very subtle in Brazil, and de Paula is one of the only women to be teaching at the university level.

The book, Hedtke's first, looks into the history aflame duck presidents in the United States. Hedtke also explores the concept of lame duck presidents and whether their power is impinged by the 22nd amendment, the amendment that restricts the president from running over two terms in office.

"I use eight empirical measurements to attempt to look at whether or not in the seventh and eighth year, whether or not the president loses power," Hedtke explains. "The basic findings are that they don't."

The book includes a chapter on President Clinton; the last person considered a lame duck president. "It is interesting because in spite of the impeachment, he actually gains power." Hedtke waited for Clinton to finish his second term before he finished his book, as he only had two modern presidents to with on, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. "I decided to hang on a little longer and let Clinton to finish up so I could see • if he kind of went along with the trend and he did, so that was good news."

Hedtke started the seven-chapter book in 1991, basing five of the chapters on his dissertation work, updating his work to look at new studies in his field and to include Clinton. The American presidency is on of Hedtke's passions, therefore, his found work on lame duck presidents intriguing.

"I am always interested in people who say 'this is the way it is,' and then they don't have any empirical proof. Since I was a little kid, every teacher I have ever

After doing research with a committee, Hedtke was shocked to find that there was no lame duck presidency. His committee had him check and re-check his information, but he would soon find that the lame duck president was siply a myth.

The topic of lame duck presidents has never really been covered before and Hedtke said he simply wanted to create a new niche of knowledge. "I always thought that's what a dissertation was about. You actually did original research about an original sub-

Others were hard to come by, like information from the state department or the executive branch.

Hedtke called Penns)'lvania Representative Curt Weldon to cut through the "red tape·."

Public safety busy with freshman class; drug busts rising

CHERYL WAGSTAFF SPORTS EDITOR

Every year the beginning of the fall semester is a busy time for public safety. 'There are numerous drinking violations, fights, harassing phone calls and drug violatio11s.

So far this semester there have been three drug violations on campus, and up to this point there have been 29 total drug violations in 2002. In 2001 there were a total of 31 drug violations. The 2002-year is only two shy of the previous year and there is over three months to go for this year.

Director of Public Safety, Charles Schaffner said, "It is

always busier in the beginning of the year." He feels that the large amounts of violations are due to mainly the freshmen, some being away from home for the first time in their lives, experimenting with his or her newfound freedom.

Statistics show that the drug use on Cabrini's campus usually coincides with the consumption of alcohol. The alcohol violations this year are on pace to be about the same as they were in 200 l. In 2001 there were 306 drinking violations and as of the start of the fall semester there were 147. There have been many more violations since school started.

Public Safley does everything in their power to keep the Rador

Police from coming to the school to aid in an incident. Only if a student is in a danger that needs off campus assistance is someone called. The most common reason for a student to be taken off of the campus is when a student is found passed out, due to alcohol consumption, tpe ambulance is immediately called, and the person is transported to the hospital.

According to Schaffner, the problems that exist on Cabrini's campus are no different than any other colleges. "When young students leave home for the first time they try new things," Schaffner said.

Schaffner does not condone underage drinking but believes

that there is now problem with drinking in moderation. He will not seek out certain people who might be drinking if they are doing it in a responsible manner and are not disturbing anyone in the process.

There is no tolerance for drugs on campus, if they are found, they will be confiscated and Residence

Life will issue the sanctions necessary for the offence.

"The students are more mature than they have been in the past," Schaffner said. Last semester's Spring Fling comes to his mind often when he thinks of the current behavior of the students. On one of Public Safety's busiest days of the year there was only one

sanction issued. Schaffner would like to warn all students of identity theft. This is a problem that is prevalent on all college campuses. There have been several identity thefts in the past few years at Cabrini. In order to prevent identity theft students should keep a close watch on all purses and wallets. They should also shred any documents that have their name and Social Security Number. Students should also be wary of identity theft when filling out credit card applications, using phone cards, buying cell phones and signing up for Internet services.

Alternate options present the·mselves for thrifty students to buy textbooks, including Internet

The rising cost of tuition is not the only thing that has college students talking these days. The price of textbooks on campuses are sky-rocketing. Many students are turning to some non-traditional methods of buying their books.

SHARVON URBA~AVAGE MANAGlt\G EDITOR

The price of higher education is an inevitable obligation for those who choose attend college after graduating from high school. With tuition fees, room and board fees, computer lab fees, parking permit fees and student activity fees, the list just seems to continue on and on. Textbook costs are no stranger to this list of college fees either.

Within recent years, alternatives to shopping in the campus bookstore have been provided via the Internet. Many book retailers as well as new, innovative websites are selling college textbooks through the Internet to make the process more convenient and affordable to weary college students.

However, the advantage of online textbook shopping seems to be more appealing at first glance, but a comparison of price shows that avoiding the campus bookstore may not always be advantageous.

ping and handling charges and delivery time. Since many students aren't aware of the required texts for their classes before arriving at school, they may not be able order textbooks through the Internet in order for them to be delivered in a timely fashion.

"I just buy my books here. It's easier," senior, early childhood and elementary education major, Amanda Cappelli said.

Some college and university bookstores are run independently, whereas companies like Follett run others, such as Cabrini's bookstore. Since Cabrini's store is run by a book retailer, students can access the eFollett.com website to lookup what texts they will need for the upcoming semester, provided the professor has submitted the information. This system allows students the time necessary to place orders via the Internet and have their books before classesbegin.

Noble Qr Borders, textbooks are not sold in large quantities, therefore causing an increase in the price.

"Freshman year was awful," Capp0elli said referring to the cost of her textbooks during her first semester at Cabrini. "I think I spent about $500. It was my highest amount ever. This [semester] I spent about $220. I'm proud of myself."

These high costs prompt campus stores to buy books back from students and then resell at a cheaper "used" priced. However, the buy-back price is rarely anywhere near being the same amount as the original selling price. Some websites, such as Half.com, not only sell textbooks, but also buy-back textbooks or allow students to sell their books to others at a more reasonable price.

However, the viewing voters disagreed with Kaier's sentiment and Kelly Clarkson, 20, of Burleson, Texas, walked away with a $1 million recording contract. Justin Guarini, 23, of Doylestown, Pa., was out-voted by Clarkson to become America's new pop idol. Her first single, "A Moment Like This," is set to release on Sept. l 7. Clarkson performed the song during the closing of the show's finale on Wednesday, Sept. 4.

"She doesn't seem fake," Hannah Welker, first-year student, said. "I like her."

The "American Idol" mania began in April when thousands of hopefuls from cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, New York and Miami, auditioned for three

judges who would decided if they were "going to Hollywood."These judges included British record executive Simon Cowell, 80's popstar Paula Abdul and record producer Randy Jackson. The idea for the series was derived from the British version, "Pop Idol," where Will Young, 23, won the contest and is now climbing the British pop charts with his single from the show.

"It's a great opportunity," firstyear student, Lauren Budweg said. "But how long are we gonna see them after the show? Two months?" After an entire summer of weekly performances from 30 aspiring stars who were talented ~nough to make it through to the finals, the overwhelming exposure may be too much for fans to bear.

"There is just too much hype," Budweg continued. "They're all good singers, b.ut the only reason they are gonna be big is because they were on the show."

Much of the hype surrounding "American Idol" was due to the esteem-devouring comments of British judge Simon Cowell. His snide remarks not only crushed the dreams of those who stood before during auditions, but also incited conflicts between he and his fellows judges.

"I think he just does it for the criticism," Welker said.

Several of the finalists who had been voted off before the final round have been rumored to be in talks with record companies, modeling agencies and acting scouts. Even fan websites have begun to appear in support of the careers of these new faces brought to the public through "American Idol."

"It's out of control. It's all over the place," first-year student Jackie Yoder said.

Although the show's first season has ended, America has not seen the last of the contestants just yet. The 10 finalists are set to tour beginning on Oct. 8 at the Cox Arena in San Diego, Ca. The tour will stop through 28 cities ending in Seattle, Wa., on Nov. 20.

Walking into the room is like stepping into something out of a war zone.

Dacanay, a former Cabrini student, insists they associate themselves with polka. Behind the microphone, Eden has dual vocalists. Dacanay, who has been in the band since its inception, provides vocals but also plays guitar. Evan Wall has recently joined the band to supply additional vocals, but has only attended three or four practices.

"At first when they brought [Evan] to me, I was kind of iffy about it," Dacanay said. "My brother thought they were going to kick me out. But when I first saw Evan, I thought, 'I want to be like that.' I'm very happy he's in the band now."

Resolution. The name came from just an average conversation when Dacanay and Mutz were driving down the Main Line and talking. The topic for the evening was band names.

"We just drive down the main line and talk," Dacanay said. "We came up with some stupid stuff like Heavier Than Slayer and Metallica Combined, Gatortooth and I'm Better Than You. Then I said, 'How about Fall of Oden?' Mutz said 'Fall of Eden,' so we wrote it down. I guess everyone liked it, but they never told us their opinions."

Dacanay jokes though that they cannot get rid of him because they all know the songs by number, and he is the only one who knows the names without having to look at a list. DiGregorio and Glenn Mutz play the guitars with Steve Dever providing the bass. On the drums is Jim Carter, praised by other band members claiming, "No one else can really do the things he does."

The band has no real story of their coming together. Each had played in bands before or at least dabbled in the musical arts trying to perfect their talent. "Bands kind of came around and merged," Mutz said.

Before Eden was born, the band went under names like Five Inches of Skull and No

The band plays at the Speakeasy on 69th Street, but does not play it as often as they used to, but Mutz said, "They don't like us or metal anymore." Most of the time, they just invite their friends and fans to their practice area and jam for them. "We're kind of looking for a place where we're accepted," Mutz said.

Witli Wall joining the band, they are all slowing down for a bit. "We are trying to redo the songs with him in it," Dacanay said. They practice every day they can, but insist they need Carter for a complete practice. Dacanay and DiGregorio mainly have their hands in the songs, with DiGregorio writing the music and Dacanay providing lyrics, once he bas heard the music. "After that though, everyone puts in their own stuff," Mutz said.

None of them really do much of anything else and insist that this is not just a hobby. "I work at Frank's, and I quit school so this is my only hope," Dacanay said. They all hone their skills by working on side projects. Dacanay used to play his guitar at The Point. Mutz, Dever and DiGregorio work on some things on the side as well.

As far as signing with a label goes, they are not sure when they are going to get things out. The original plan was to get something out in September, but after Wall joined the group, they pushed back their release date until sometime in December or January.

Once completed, the band plans on sending copies to record companies and seeing what comes back.

The band currently has no web site, but they plan to get one started. They can be found for now at www.pahardcore.com. Once they have their work together, the site will have a link to a web site solely featuring the band.

The band bas come a long way since they began. With Wall joining as another vocalist, the band is in for a change and perhaps a break coming in 2003. "I have only been here for a couple of weeks, but these guys have progressed and have come a long way. I am happy to be here," Wall said.

Inside the walls of terror

SJJA'.'-INO'l KING FEATCRESEDITOR

We are untouchable; the words of a nai've and vulnerable country. In just a few hours, one year ago, the faith of a nation, the innocence of a people and the very foundation of which everything we knew stood upon, was shattered, shaking our very being to the core, never to return to normal. For those of us who sat stunned in front of the television for days, the images were real enough, but for those men and women who were actually there to witness the roar of the aircraft and the massive destruction of not just a building, but a nation's very understanding of what it means to be free, the events of that horrific day are forever etched in every fiber of their being.

As the anniversary of Sept. 11 is upon us, a firefighter and emergency medical technician with Radnor Fire Co. on South Wayne Avenue, reflects on what it was like to be present at the events that rocked our confidence in everything we thought we knew. Joe Monestere, a man in his rnid-20s and just a few years removed. from his college days at Villanova, sat at his desk eating breakfast with co-workers in Tower Two of the World Trade Center as he felt the first plane blast into the opposite tower. "In several minutes that day we lost many people. Fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters; some we knew, most we will never know. Everyone knows someone who has been directly affected by Sept. 11," he said. "This is one story of one pe,;son."

Every night before going to bed Joe wo~ lay out his keys, wallet, cell phone, train p., and ID to get into the trade center. Earlylfl the morning as his alarm buzzed at 5:31 a .• he took a shower and was on his W'-"°"in what was shaping up to be a b in Manhattan. Hitting every gre,_ the way to work, Joe was enjoying • far.

In the midst of casual morning routines,

the lights began to flicker and the whole building shook as a massive explosion is heard from outside the tower. "What the hell was that?" It was not obvious right away what the commotion was all about because the windows faced east, away from Tower One. It didn't take long for people from the other side of the building to erupt in cries of terror and to explain what had happened. At the other window, a burning hole was visible in the other tower. Paper fluttered to the ground as steel and metal plummeted to the plaza below. Joe, being a volunteer firefighter for the last few years, described the smell the best he knew how, as a car fire. The smell of burning fuel, rubber and metal filled the air and invaded your lungs.

As everyone hurried to leave the building, Joe stopped on the stairwell about six flights down to help an older lady who was having chest pains. He slowly walked her down the steps and tried to calm her down. An announcement soon came over the PA system at around the 24th floor. "There has been an accident with Tower One. An aircraft has struck the building. Building Two has not been compromised, you may return to your offices." Most people kept moving in the direction they were going, a few heeded the advice and turned and went back to work. Joe kept moving down.

Joe left the woman with friends that she met up with and went on to the lobby. He saw his friend Brian walk down from the upper lobby, ghost white and with tears welling up in hi.seye "Joe, I just saw people jlllripin~ I never..- see that again."

Thousands of people were crowded into the streets.They made their way to Battery Park with a feeling of helplessness and loss.

Confidential documents, sitting on desks under stacks of folders just moments ago, were smoldering in the streets, some still burning.

The Towers still burned behind them as they made their way towards anywhere. Joe wondered if his chief at FDNY Rescue 4, Terry Farrell, was on the scene. "What a hell of a story this would make in years to come. Good luck guys," he thought.

As they walked, the sound of rumbling, metal slamming against metal, they turned around and the building, where Joe sat chatting, eating his breakfast only moments before, was gone. The building had collapsed leaving a black night in its wake. A wall of smoke turned the corner as people ran for their lives. They hurried inside a store and soon heard pounding on the glass, the sounds of people trying desperately to find any shelter, the picture of a fist against glass with each pound for help. No body attached to it due to the smoke, just a fist.

Joe helped as many injured people as he could before trying to make a phone call to his parents. After failing to reach his parents, but succeeding in getting a message out that he was alive and ok, he wet his undersrnrt.; held it over his mouth to breathe through and went back outside. Round two was soon to follow. They managed to make it up another block before the North Tower fell, following the first.

ls it over? Sirens surrounded the area as police, firefighters and ambulances made their way in to what is now known as Ground Zero, as a mass of tired, poor, huddJed victims tried to make their way as far away as possible. There· was no marathon over the Brooklyn Bridge that day, but it sure felt like it. Everyone walked in silence across the bridge away from a city and a skyline that would never be the same. Military jets flew overhead stopping everyone dead in their tracks until they realized what they were.-

Home seemed so far away. The skyline that had always been dominated by towers wu uddenly empty, as if it wae a draw-

"Big Dude" Farrell was found over a month later. He had been trapped in the collapse of Tower Two, Joe's building.

"When I first got back to my car, my dad asked me if I wanted him to drive my car. I couldn't let him do it. As panicked as I was I needed to feel in control of something that day," Joe said. "Even if it was steering my car to make it go the way I wanted it to, I needed that."

"There is nothing in my life that will ever be the same after that day," Joe reflected. "I still feel the effects of Sept. 11. It has changed my life forever." It may sound like something we have all heard in the past, but the tragic events of that horrible day have reinforced the fact that there are some things that should never be taken for granted. "I have learned several important things in several hours in just one day. The biggest lessons are these. Never leave people angry. You will never know if this will be the last time you see them. Life is too short to worry about the small things. Live life everyday, you never know when it won't be there. Make sure that the people you love know how you feel."

The effects of Sept. I I are and will always be a part of our history and a pivotal point in all of our minds in which grown men cried and children grew up in a matter of hours. Nothing can change the events of that day, but we can remember the day for what it did for America; it united the country in a way that most people had never seen, it shaped the very core of who we have become as individuals and a nation. We will never forget the heroes who laid down their lives to save others, or the countless hours spent searching for lost treasures in a mountain of evil. In the words of a local hero, "To all of our fallen brothers and sisters. Thank you for a job well done, we will never lose your spirit." ~Joe Monestere, Septemeber 16, 200 l.

Future of America needs to take responsibility

It has been one year since the day that changed the world we had known up to then. In that time, our nation has • reunited with a more evident sense of patriotism under a proud government that is trying to make the right moves. But what happens from here and what do we have to say about it?

Currently, President Bush is searching for a reason to engage in war ag~inst Iraq. At this point, it seems like he has little to base the attack on, other than the possibility that Iraq could produce weapons of mass destruction with aid from outside nations. Despite being told by experts and leaders of allied nations that now is not the time, Bush continues his

one thousand words

attempt to persuade allies to join our force to eliminate what may or may not be a timely threat. Bush still sees the green light while the world is flashing red.

We are not far from a long-lasting war against a vicious enemy, if President Bush has his way. For some reason,this has yet to alert the minds of the future - our minds. As college students, too many of us fail to pay attention to what could be the most important decision of our life because of the lame excuse that we are college students.

Get too drunk and say bad thingswe are college students, it is okay. Sleep through class and fabricate

some excuse - hey, simple mistake, after all we are 20 years old.

Neglect our responsibility to vote and end up being drafted into a debatable war that could last into our midlife - too late, we had our chance.

As we reflect on the past year in all its terror, unity and glory, we need to take responsibility for our actions. We need to keep up with the news. We need to debate what we want our country to do. Vote. And if you happen to clip someone while driving on campus, stop and take responsibility. Learn from Sept. 11. We never know what can happen tomorrow. We need to take part today and act responsibly. editor

Don't let identity theft ruin your life

JANA FAGOTIJ STAFFWRITER

I had just gotten home to New Jersey from my first year at Cabrini. My parents handed me an envelope from my local post office confirming a change of address to Philadelphia. I was very puzzled as to where the idea of me changing my address had come from. I contacted the post office and was informed that they had written proof that I wanted all of my mail forwarded and that some of my mail had already been forwarded. I asked for· a copy and needless to say, I received the copy. in the mail a day later. There it was, a form with printed writing, not even remotely like my own; that included my full name, home phone number, address and the forwarded address as well as what was supposed to be my signature.

My blood ran cold for a second as I stared at the paper m disbelief. Who could possibly be trying to _ take my identity? In the next few days the New Jersey State Police and Philadelphia Police had been contacted and were concerned. They informed me that it was possible that I was involved in a "fraud ring" and encouraged me put alerts on all of my financial accounts.

What scared me most was that there could be someone out there pretending to be ME.

In mid-July, I received a Capital One envelope in the mail and, upon opening it, found that I had a Capital One account that I had never applied for. I contacted them and explained the situation and cancelled the account. Two weeks later I received another bill from Capitol One. I called again and explained that I had tried to close the account earlier. I was informed that

the card had been applied for online and had included my full name, correct home address, phone number and the last four digits of my social security number. I \yas livid at this point and attempted to cancel the

Schaffner said that the cards have always stated the student's home address but having it removed is "something to look into."

I asked wha_twould happen if someone picked up her ID card and called the college, claiming to be a parent, looking for her financial information, for example. "There 1s a TRUST policy when a person calls on the phone claiming to be a parent," he said. "Most times we ask the person to come in if possible. Otherwise we trust that the person is a valid parent or guardian and give them the information."

Trash in kitchens is nothing but a waste

CATHARINE HERNSO:N PERSPECTIVESEDfTOR

The houses are in a shambles. This time it is not due to drunken fools throwing their bodies through walls.

Housekeepfog is now in charge of taking out the resident's, of any given house, personal trash. In order to do this students have to take their room trash to the kitchen of the house that they live in. Let's think about this for a second. A kitchen is the place where people

supposedly prepare food, and we are supposed to put our trash there.

So it may not seem like a big deal, my parents have a trash can in the kitchen of our house. But that is a trash can for what goes on in the kitchen for a home of four people. This is the personal refuse of every resident of a house of at least 22 people or if you live in House 2 nearly 70 people. That is a lot of trash- In a kitchen, nonetheless.

By the time a student is 20 years old and living on campus for two or three years, they should know the deal about taking out their own trash. Or, maybe they could put a

couple of big trash cans outside the house if there is a problem having dumpsters for every house. But inside, in the kitchen is no place to have a trash drop-off.

The kitchens are not that big to begin with, and with a couple of extra trash cans hanging out it makes moving around while cooking or doing dishes very difficult. Not to mention, the smell of trash has always made food more appetizing to me.

Trash is strewn about the kitchens as it overflows the provided trash cans. Housekeeping supposedly comes to empty the trash

cans three times a day. I'm not really sure where this idea makes sense as most of the residents are in class during the day. When I take my trash out of my room it is normally after the cleaning crew is gone for the day, or on the weekends when I tend to have more trash because I have more time to clean for myself.

When it was decided that students could not be held responsible for getting their own trash out of the house, someone should have come up with a better place to put it. There is no need for waste to be in the kitchens. It is just not sanitary.

Com~on courtesy dead and forgotten

The people on this campus must have the absolute best shoes ever.

Honestly, walk around campus sometime and just take a gander at anyone you want. They are all staring at their feet. What gets me the most is that they can stare at their own feet as they walk. Some-one should give out an award.

If you think I mean that, try reading it in a sarcastic tone. The percentage of people on this campus that have no common courtesy is staggering. I know not everyone is the "in your

face" courteous that I am. I spend more time saying "Hi, how you doing?" to complete strangers than I do to my closet friends. I am sure it is scary or just plain creepy, but if you have seen me on campus in my Bon Jovi t-shirt and my bandana, you might see that I just do not care.

Too many walks to the other side of the sun, known as the Dixon Center parking lot, are met with shoe stares that drive me nuts.

I am not asking people to stop everyone they see, hug them and get to know them. Some people are actually in a rush, but how many of you can say that? How much effort does it take to say, "What's up?" or to even nod your head? If even a nod is too much to ask, next time

you make the trek to the Dixon Center lot, head inside for someone to check your neck.

What about opening a door? It is not exactly brain surgery. For the love of God, they have a button on almost every door on campus. Press them out of habit, for maybe one of these days, someone will be behind you. Ever see someone carrying books? We do not all have school bags to lug around. Or what about people with their lunch on one of those "sturdy" plates from the Wigwam? These people are not wearing signs that say, "Help Me," but I am sure help is appreciated. If it is not, then these people are just jerks. Parking on campus is a hassle, that is not the

world's best-kept secret, but there's always that one hidden spot that someone cannot see. Point to it. Otherwise, you drive around and there's someone at the door of their car, doing something and they look up. Then they continue. Five minutes pass and they leave their parking space, books in hand, and walk inside the building.

Meanwhile, cars are coming and going, spots are appearing and disappearing and by the time you move on, you might as well have parked at Eastern. All I am saying is how difficult is it to raise your head to scream to someone that you are just adjusting your books or for some whacked out reason, admiring the interior of your car before your next

class. This alone would save someone five or ten minutes of waiting and cars would not be backed up to the entrance, having to drive all over the parking lot just to get past someone.

Hopefully, this rant did not fall on deaf ears. Maybe there are one or two people who are thinking, "Yeah, I guess 'hello' is not that hard to get past my lips." If not, then it is no big deal. I will not lose sleep. One thing is for sure though, I will be the guy on campus walking around with an odd look about him, creeping people out with my greetings and maybe humming a little 1980s hair metal. See you around campus.

Internships: never too early, never too late

GUESTWRITER College is college. No matter which one you are at, you are not doing something unique with your life. I hope you didn't believe anything otherwise.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but going to college is not a unique decision. Millions of other young adults are doing the same as you, getting an education, spending money, breaking the rules, making new

friends and taking in the best and/or worse of every situation. Whether it is starting a brand new club or being robbed at the book;store, getting involved in two thousand activities or being a hermit all semester, someone is feeling and doing all the same somewhere else.

Sounds pretty generic right? Everyone is falling into one of the categories or another of playing sports, acting in plays, being an individual, finding his or her own grove and etcetera. But there is a University that really stands out in my

mind as being different.

It is Drexel University in Philadelphia. Drexel students can attend a five-year program that includes three six-month, nicely paid, coops and one fine looking resume. The trimesters and extra year of school turn some people away from applying to Drexel, but the many students who do choose to attend really havethe advantage over so many ofus.

Philadelphia Freedoms star returns to court

CATHARINE HERNSON PERSPECTIVESEDITOR

Philadelphia Freedoms tennis star, Corina Morariu, came back to the game after a battle with cancer.

Playing in her first Grand Slam event since being diagnosed with cancer, Morariu was granted a wild card into the singles competition. The rare form of Leukemia forced Morariu to take a year off from tennis. The doubles star, formerly ranked number one in the world, was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia in May of 2001. With doubles partner Lindsay Davenport, Morariu won the 1999 Wimbledon championship in doubles.

Morariu had been playing well in 2001 before the set back. She won the Australian Open, in mixed doubles, with Ellis Ferreira. Then she withdrew from the German Open because of a sprain in her right foot. She then had to withdraw from the next tournament in Rome. As she tried to recover she just became sicker and sicker. She had frequent nosebleeds and spontaneous bruises, so finally she went to a

doctor.

After three rounds of chemotherapy Morariu thought about getting back into tennis. At this point, however, she was barely able to walk up a flight of stairs. Morariu fought through her illness and kept going out and working everyday, just so she could get back into the game she loved.

During her battle, Morariu knew the friends she had in the sport would support her. "I had such incredible support through my entire sickness. I had wonderful people pulling for me family, friends, players. When you go through such a life-threatening situation, it's frightening and I was comforted by those who reached out to me. I had so many people come visit me in the hospital and send me flowers and get-well cards," Morariu said.

"Jennifer Capriati even dedicated her French Open title to me and held up a pink "GET WELL SOON CORINA" poster which meant a lot to me."

Morariu has been coming back to tennis slowly, starting with small appearances and making her way to the US Open this past month. Morariu started back

on the pro circuit with World Team Tennis on the Philadelphia Freedoms. The Freedoms played seven home matches at Cabrini College as Morariu came back to championship form. "Team tennis will be such a great transition and comeback for me. I've always loved playing on a team and it will be so comforting to have that support from my teammates as I get back the court," Morariu said in a press conference.

The wild card draw had Morariu pitted against Serena Williams on center court. "I probably would have liked a better draw in my first Grand Slam back, I'm not going to lie to you about that. If that meant playing on an outside court, meant that I could win a couple of matches, then it would have been great." Still this US Open was a personal triumph for Morariu, even though she lost in the first round of singles. Not only did she make it to the semi-finals in mixed doubles, but just before her center court bout with Williams her father called.

She was informed that her cancer remained in remission.

Men's soccer takes it • one step at a time

RYAN MULLOY A&E EDITOR

The soccer season is underway and the men's team spent the weekend at Haverford College for two games. The team came together for a victory over Caldwell College with a 2-0 victory. The team fell short, however, on Sunday with a 1-0 loss to Haverford on their home field, making their record 1-3.

Senior Lincoln Strehl<; was impressed with the team's performance. "We played hard and I think we played really well, especially with three or four of our starters out of action," Strehle said.

Against Caldwell, sophomore Nick Fenton and senior Mike O'Reilly, the team captain, scored to dominate their opposition. Mike Rennie agrees that the team played well this weekend and thinks they are showing progress. Even though they defeated Caldwell on Saturday, Rennie still thinks that the team has time to grow and to work as a

team. "We were good," Rennie said, "but we can be better."

Rennie saw the team working hard on Sunday against Haverford.

"I was hurt on Sunday so I couldn't play," Rennie said. "I sat on the bench and watched the whole game. The team played very well and made some really good passes. I think the team is gelling .well together."

Strehle agreed with Rennie on the team spirit everyone is showing. "We played really well," Strehle said. "Our passing was excellent in both games but we fell short of our goal. We really worked well together as a team in these games and I noticed some of the freshman stepping up in part of the team. That is what we need to see more of. We have I 0 seniors, so they're stepping up and setting an example for the rest of the team. Right now though we really need to get healthy."

The team will be playing against Widener University on Sept. 14 .lt Cabrini. Rennie

Let it fly

thinks that the team will meet their goal this season. "The goal," Rennie said, "is to win the PAC and advance the team into the NCAA tournament."

Strehle agrees, but thinks that there is a goal they need to focus on. On Sept. 28, the soccer team will face the no. 10 team in the nation, Arcadia University,. "That's our big test," Stehle said. "Their ranking is importa~t and if we work hard this season, we can beat them."

While the goal of the team is some time away, they are not looking too far and are concentrating on keeping the team going in the present. "We need to take these games one at a time," Re~e said. "One game at a time and we'll get there."

Strehle shares this optimistic attitude about the team and said, "Ifwe play as hard as we can, I think we can beat just about anybody."

Huda enjoys working with the team. "They're a great bunch of girls to work with. They work hard and put in so much time and energy to be the best they can be," she said. "Having played here and then being able to coach is awesome!" The main thing Ruda wants is to see the program succeed, and she is going to try her hardest to help in that success.
