Grants improve science technology

With the purchase of new equipment, the science department is one of the most technologically advanced programs in the Southeastern Pennsylvania Con.sortium for Higher Education.

RICHARD MAGDA EDITOR IN CHIEf

The science department was awarded four grants that are being used to purchase the latest science equipment. With the new tools, the department is among the most cutting-edge of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Consortium for Higher Education colleges and universities, according to Dr. Sherry Fuller-Espie, chair of the science department.

"Founder's Hall 301 and 302 are the best kept secrets at Cabrini College," Fuller-Espie said. "Most people don't know what we have behind these doors."

Each of the four grants will be used by the department to fund for a wide range of equipment, ranging from high-end microscopes to the most powerful ultracentrifuges.

The National Science Foundation grant, proposed by Fuller-Espie and effective from Jan. 15 to DeG.31, 2004, is being

used to aid in the development of the biotechnology major, the newest to the science department. The grant funded $84, 176, which will be matched by Cabrini with $84, 876. With the funds, the department will have a high performance liquid chromatograph, a gas chromatograph, two inverted microscopes with digital cameras, a refrigerated bench-top centrifuge, three laminar flow hoods and a freezer that maintains a minus 80-degree temperature, among other items.

"The new instruments will make a dramatic difference in the science majors by improving labs associated with general, analytical, organic and environmental chemistry as well as biochemistry and instrumental analysis," FullerEspie said. "As we grow, there is no doubt this will play a vital role in the growth and importance of the science majors."

'Enron Debacle' sparks debate on campus

JANA FAGOTII STAFF WRITER

Faculty and students gathered in Grace Hall on Tuesday, Sept.

• 24, to witness "the Enron Debacle," a faculty forum between professors Mary Harris, Harvey Lape and Ann Servey. While most students are focusing on their own studies rather than what is going on in the economy, this month's faculty forum gave both faculty and students a chance to t?ecome informed on Emon, the energy company which recently filed for the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. The one-

hour event was focused on the bankruptcy of Enron, why it happened, and answered the question: Is business ethics an oxymoron?

Enron filed for bankruptcy, and sent the economy into a complete downward spiral as stocks went from $87 to 99 cents. Arthur Andersen, Enron 's auditing firm, is on trial for charges of obstruction of justice for the shredding of important Enron documents while the business was going through a federal investigation. This historic plummet will affect the future of business in America.

Lape, a philosophy professor, began the discussion by stating his

point of view on Enron. "It's nqt a failure of ethics. It's a regulatory failure," Lape said. He hopes that this crisis will put an end to Albert Carr's poker analogy, which argues that deception is part of. business. "There were no ethics. They are needed," Lape said. Harris, an assistant professor of finance, used analogies to help the students who attended the forum better understand the scandal. Harris said that, "Analysts are finding that they were wrong in telling people to buy." She disagreed with Lape, "It was the fraudulent nature that caused bankruptcy. We have regulatory

issues in place," Harris said.

Ann Servey, business administrator and certified public accountant, agreed with Harris, saying that the downfall of Enron was, "not regulatory failure.'' Servey believes that enforcements were not met within the company. "There are •many gray areas. However, integrity can accomtnodate the invertent error."

Their insights were undoubtedly impacting the faculty and students. Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, pointed out that, as a result of Enron, "the burden is put on the consumer.''

Regardless of their differences

and concerns about what caused Enron 's bankruptcy, the three professors see it as being an example to all businesses worldwide. Servey said that the impact is "obvious, not just Enron." The lasting effects of the opinions of Servey, Lape itnd Harris will hopefully spark and inspire economic concern among both students and faculty who attended.

The Enron Corporation is holding an auction in which computers, telecommunications equipment, office furniture and even the "E" in the corporation sign are being auctioned off.

Dr. Sherry Fuller-Espieexamines slides under one of the new microscopes that the science department purchased with the grant money awareded to them. The science department continues to purchase science equipment with the funds from the grants.

Government grant aids SEPCHE schools

Eight local schools participate in the Southeastern Pennsylvania Consortium for Higher Education, which lobbies the government for federal grant money, which goes to advance technological programs. MELISSA

Cabrini students will soon see new courses on global issues as a result of a $750,000 government grant awarded to eight local colleges. The Development of Global Curriculum Grant is aimed at challenging students to develop their knowledge of foreign languages and culture, distinguish associations with history and current issues and team up with peers on oral and written presentations.

Currently, members of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Consortium for Higher Education are working on many projects that will use this money to reach these goals. New courses will be started in Spanish for education and business majors. This grant will also pay for new computers in the language laboratories.

In addition, an online course in Chinese culture is being developed in order to increase diversity. Professor Hong Zhao, who was a visiting scholar to Cabrini two years ago, will teach this course. It will be offered to Cabrini students and other members of the consortium.

Being a part of the consortium also means that Cabrini students are able to use the libraries of the other schools.

SEPCHE is a group of eight independent colleges and universities in the Greater Philadelphia area who get together in order to promote quality and efficiency of academic programming, student access, faculty development, institutional operations and community outreach by sharing an array of activities, services, information

and technology. Arcadia University, Chestnut Hill College, Holy Family College, Rosemont College, Immaculata College, Gwynedd-Mercy College, Neumann College and Cabrini form the eight members of SEPCHE.

SEPCHE was an initiative started by the presidents of these colleges. President Antoinette Iadorola was instrumental in getting SEPCHE off the ground. It was formed so that small schools could partner up for the benefit of students, faculty and administrators.

Cabrini and the other seven colleges have received money in the past for other projects. So far, more than $14 million was given to SEPCHE from the federal government, and $639,000 was given in the form of private and state grants. With this money, significant upgrades to classrooms have been made, especially in the science department. New technological and lab equipment have been added to science labs. Faculty development workshops have been offered to enhance teacher experience for the students' benefit.

The colleges are currently managing four grants, and two more are in the works. Dr. Jonnie Guerra, the vice president for academic affairs, said, "This is a lot of work. It's like having another job. It's time consuming, but it's well worth it."

Another activity of SEPCHE is an honors conference held each year at the different schools. This conference is a way to showcase students and give them the opportunity to polish their presentation

skills. These are most likely the types of presentations students will be making in graduate school and even later on in the work field. This year the fifth annual honors conference will be held at Cabrini in March. Dr. Joseph Romano, a philosophy professor, is the head of the conference.

Sophomore Jodi McHenry said, "Last year the conference was held at Arcadia University and I wrote and read a paper on mortality. It was interesting to see other people's presentations and it was a really good experience for me. Even though the people in my group wrote about similar topics, it was interesting to hear their different points of view. There were presentations about biology, history, other countries, power point presentations and even music. People sang duets and played instruments. Someone even played a didgeridoo. This year should be more fun because Cabrini's hosting it." Guerra said "We are looking forward to the best honors conference ever on our campus."

"The college is trying to give students every opportunity they can." Guerra said. Everything has either a direct or indirect benefit for students. SEPCHE aids in making advancements in technology, the faculty workshops help the teachers learn about new technologies, and the honors conference offers a high level of work to be demonstrated to an audience of peers. Guerra said "We are always looking for new ways to benefit students. If they have any ideas, they should notify the academic affairs office."

Science department expands technology with grants

fund a project developed by Dr. Kimberly Boyd called "DNA Technology in the New Millennium." The project will provide new equipment for DNA technology and funded summer workshops to train high school science teachers in the fundamentals of DNA technology and how to incorporate it in the classroom. As part of the workshop, which ran from July 22 - 25, the attending high school teachers can borrow equipment from Cabrini and use it in their labs.

A $1 million congressional grant to enhance learning in mathematics and the sciences through technology was awarded to SEPCHE. Cabrini received $102, 500. The money will be used to

"It was a hands-on workshop so the teachers were able to gain applicable experience with college-level equipment typically not found in high school classrooms," Boyd said. "We worked with reallife situations like forensics, bioethics, cloning and applications in medicine. We focused on some cool aspects that their students would get excited about so they will like science, too."

With the hands-on experience, the 17 high school teachers also went home with about $1,200

SEPCHE was awarded the Math and Science Institute grant worth $2.7 million. Cabrini received $250,000-$200,000 is being used for equipment and $50,000 for computers-~nd software. The project goal for the grant money is the "integration of up-to-date and emerging technologies with associated new curricula" and_"to insure that SEPCHE college faculty and K-12 teachers are teaching and their respective students are learning with state of the art equipment and methodologies," according to the science department's website. The grant must be spent in a year.

"So far purchases have included an ultracentrifuge, a centrifuge which can achieve one million g force and speeds up to ·100,000

rpm," Fuller-Espie said. "In addition, this grant has provided the department. with ultraviolet spectrophotometers, a molecular fluorescence spectrophotometer, micro centrifuges, a water purifier and standard recombinant DNA equipment, and we 're still spending."

While the equipment purchased with the other grants will be useful in the Center for Science, Education, and Technology,for which ground will be broken this spring, the Elementary Science Education Grant will provide a separate room for education majors taking science courses. The $200, 000 grant will equip _the science education room in the new center with modem college-level equipment and science tools found in elementary classrooms.

"Funds also include faculty stipends for the development of a standards based science curriculum for education majors," FuJlerEspie said.

Tutoring center offers peer education for students

KELLY FINLAN STAFF WRJTER

In the hurried rush to finish mounting homework, understanding pivotal information often gets pushed aside, and by test time, students are frustrated and confused. There is hope. The tutoring center is a shining light at the end of the academic tunnel. Cabrini students specially trained in the fine art of tutoring, time management and the subject of choice, are at the disposal of those seeking assistance, reinforcement, or guidance. The cost: nothing.

Peer. tutors are certified after taking EDU 190, a three-session peer-tutoring seminar worth one credit, which examines the delicate aspects of adult learning in such a setting. They are teacher recommended and skilled in their particular subject matter.

Peer tutors act in a variety of roles. Group sessions for selected classes are held periodically, especially in the days prior to testing. Students are encouraged to attend these "pre-test study groups" to

review or to reinforce, said Maritza DeJesus, director of the tutoring center. Peer tutors act as facilitators, acting in conjunction with professors to ensure students' preparation. Group sessions are usually announced or posted in class, and they meet at various places and times. Tutors also act as "study buddies," working one on one with students to clarify or support. They can offer time management suggestions and study techniques that point students in the right direction.

The Education Resource Information Center reports that peer tutoring in beneficial to the academic and social development of both tutor and tutee. Communicating in common terms and reasoning reinforces the tutor's understanding while he or she establishes an understanding for the tutee.

There are 12 tutors this semester, but, "the tutoring center can always use more tutors" DeJesus said. She is currently looking for· peer tutors to cover psychology, algebra and trigonometry, cliem-

istry, Italian 102, and education 171 and 172. To qualify, tutors must have taken the class (For example, 1ST 125, MAT 110, 111,

113, 114, etc.) at Cabrini College, and have received a B or better as their final grade.

Local companies give exclusive education d_eals

Amtrak, UPS and Quest Diagnostics supply employees with education opportunities at little or no cost.

HEATHER DILALLA STAFF WRITER

Amtrak, United Parcel Service and Quest Diagnostics have an exclusive deal with Cabrini that gives their employees the opportunity to attend college here for a very minimal cost and some times with no cost at all. The only requirements are that the person be 2J years of age and a full time worker. The person also needs to have at least 30 undergraduate credits.

According to Leslie Petty, the executive director of adult and continuing education, UPS and Quest Diagnostics pay I 00 percent of their workers tuition. Amtrak pays 50 percent and the rest is paid by the student/employee. A 20 percent discount is further given to the Amtrak student, which comes off what they are asked to pay back.

Classes take place Monday thru

Thursday evening, usually from 6 p.m. until IO p.m. They are required to take 14 modules, meaning classes, which are a total of 42 credits. Each module is five weeks long with a different instructor for each one. The curriculum is made up of instructional modules in management and supervision, accounting and finance, marketing and economics, business ethics, communication, organizational behavior, and ·research and data analysis.

"The nice thing about this program is the people you work with are also in most cases your classmates. The program begins and ends with the same people, which is good because they are able to study and get to know each other better," Petty said.

SGA announces freshmen class election results, Mundy·president

MARY ADAM STAFF WRITER

The class of 2006 has chosen their fellow classmates to represent their class in this year's SGA election. Roy Mundy has been named president, Frank Fonnotto is the vice president, Claudia Sciandra will be treasurer of the class and Marcy Fonseca and Kristen Catalanotto have been elected the senators.

As president, Mundy had a few ideas in mind. "As freshmen, what we need is money for our account," Mundy said. "We are going to work out a powder puff game, make freshman T-shirts and do Midnight Madness. But our main goal right now is to build our reservoir."

The freshman officers have

•ewestill have to put out flyers, but we want to get people involved as much as we can," Mundy said. Although undetermined there also have been thoughts of having a "King" and "Queen" for the night.

Raffle tickets will be sold and prizes will be given out.

The group discussed some fundraising ideas but has not gotten into anything definite yet.

Sciandra was credited with corning up with the idea of having a tug-of-war contest between each class, and there have been discussions of having a bachelor auction. They have thought about having a

Housing has become a big burden on people all over campus, especially the freshman class. In the New Residence Hall, the freshman singles have become doubles, the doubles have become triples and, in many cases, the triples have become quadruples.

Books vs. movies: A matter of personal preference

LAUREN MINEO STAFF WRITER

To read the book or to watch the movie- that is the question. Many novels have been turned into movies during this age of shared media. There are expectations of readers that are oftentimes not fulfilled when viewing the movie's version of a story. To be fair, though, movies tend to have the ability to draw popularity more successfully than the book. Movies often spark a new interest in a once-popular or unrecognized book, helping it to gain public attention.

When asked what the most prevalent characteristic of a book is that makes it movie-worthy, Dr. Marilyn Johnson, professor of English and communications, responded simply and concisely, "That it will make money."

The storylines have the ability to be changed as the director sees fit, sometimes making the movie completely different from the book.

"Take for example the most recent version of 'The Three Musketeers,"' said Johnson. "Dumas would turn in his grave if he saw how much the film changed his story."

After the author sells his story, there is little to nothing he can do about keeping it intact. "An interesting example of this is 'The Color Purple,"' Johnson said. "It is a nice film, but it emphasizes things that were. minimized in the book and minimizes things that

were emphasized in the book."

Jamie Matozzo, Cabrini College graduate and first-year social work graduate student at Rutgers University said, "Books are much better than the movie, because the movie loses sight of the importance of the book. They are just fixated on making it an elaborate Hollywood productionbig names, no plot. It loses the initial meaning of the book."

Matozzo read and enjoyed the film versions of "Great Expectations" and "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," but said, "The books are definitely better."

Junior social work major, Melissa Raucci saw the movie version of "Circle of Friends" before reading the book. The movie provoked her to read the book where she discovered that "the movie cut out a lot of characters." Raucci said, "I enjoyed knowing the characters that they only mentioned in passing, but since it was a movie, you can't have every detail."

The books-turned-movies trend is not sure to end any time soon, as the money is being raked in at the box office by such movies as the Harry Potter and the J.R.R. Tolkien series. As long as the money is there, more movies will be made.

If students are interested in analyzing and comparing books and their· movie versions, Dr. Marilyn Johnson and Dr. Arthur Young teach a class at Cabrini entitled Cinematic Interpretation of Literature.

Museum opens doors to new programsfor student awareness

KENDALLNEIL STAFFWRITER

The Philadelphia Musewn of Art held a press event to promote museum awareness to the surrounding college communities on Friday, Sept. 20. I for one, have never been to the Museum, I never had an interest in looking at artwork. However, once I pulled into the West entrance of the Museum, I did have a feeling of excitement.

Before the press tour officially began, 1 wandered through a few of the galleries and became mesmerized by some of the art work and photography. Once the tour began, I found myself listening intently to what curator was descnbing about the illusion of photography and the inspiration behind the paintings. After the tour, we were invited to wander around the museum to look at other exhibits that may be of interest. Upon leaving the Museum, I walked outside and walked down the famous "Rocky" steps and took in the view of Philadelphia and the Museum before returning to Cabrini.

Christine Sullivan, Press Relations Coordinator said, "We are hoping to increase student awareness of the Musewn's exhibitions and programs and consider it a place to visit in their free time. The de Chjrico exhibition is our next big exhibition opening in November, and in the spring we will have a big exhibition of the work of Edgar Degas."

The museum was opened at its present location in March 1928. One of the original architects of the famous art museum was Horace Trumbauer, who also built Cabrini College's Mansion. There are over 300,000 objects in the museum's collection.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is among the largest and most important museums in the United States. The collections range from Asian art consisting of a Japanese ceremonial teahouse

and a Chinese palace hall, to the European collections of stained glass and Renaissance paintings. The American collection includes Pennsylvania German art and refined furniture and silver by early Philadelphia craftsmen. The Modem and Contemporary art collection include works of abstract expressionism and contemporary work that stems through a variety of media. The museum also has events on Wednesday and Friday nights. On Wednesdays the museum sets up a certain theme and lets you

SHAJ\"NOSKING FEATURESEDITOR

On a campus where school spirit and student involvement have hit more than a few bumps in the road, a new staff has come in, bringing with it a new attitude and a new enthusiasm to breathe life back into the community, This weekend, the office of Student Activities, the Campus Activities and Programming Board and the Student Government Association would like to invite yo_ut~ spend a few days in the country, Cavalier Country.

Begmmng Thursday, Oct. 3 and continuing until Sunday, \'# Oct 6, family weekend is pa.ekedfull ofactiviti·es and events

that members of the campus corn,munity and their families

rt' can take part in and enjoy. According to Jason Bozzone,

_ I ~ire~tor of student. activities, ?his. weekend should. be a cul-

~mmattng event for st11dents,famtly, friends and faculty where \ everyone can take pride in Cabrini and what Cabrini stands for.. This should be a time to live the Cabrini ideals. We should

all be prnud of ou,-education in~de and out,;de of the cl,ss. room."

For a new addition to Cabrini, Bozzone said that he has campus m gettmg together an event that everyone can be

happy with. ''From the very first day that I stepped foot on

.this c~pus I have received support from facilities, the residence bfe staff, CAP Board, SGA, the Alumni Affairs office, the Marketing Communications department, housekeeping, Wood Dining Services, the athletic department and the office of Institutional Advancement," Bozzone said.

Bozzone aJso said, "Dt Neville, the acting vice president for student development, has been a huge support and a mentor to me. I couldn't have asked for anyone better."

With the help and assistance of so many people on campus, it seems as if this year could be a turning point for Cabrini students, beginning with Family Weekend.

"With Neville's lead, he's made this a real student oriented campus," Bozzone said.

The theme of this year's family weekend is "A League of Our Own" and the SGA office is trying to bring out the uniqueness of Cabrini with more involvement from the students. They have made it clear that the number one priority this year is increased school spirit and community. What makes this year so special is that now, unlike so many years before, there is the support of the administration to make it happen.

Bozzone was enthusiastic when he said. "President Iadarola wants to make •sure that student activities happen and that they happen with quality. We just hope that we can live up to her expectations as well as the expectations of the students."

You say you want a revolution

The college is on the brink of a revolution. Serious plans are in the works for new residence halls as each year's freshmen class grows larger. As more majors are offered, more ground will be broken for buildings to support the newest interests with modern technology and resources.

This weekend, it is Student Activities' turn to push the revolution with an entirely fresh Family Weekend.

Led by Jason Bozzone, a young director in the president's cabinet, Student Activities is planning a full weekend for our families to share in growing college pride. In past years, events have happened, and that's all there is to say - they happened.

. ..a thousand words

What's great about the plans for activities this year is the enthusiasm with which they are backed. President Iadarola is leading the charge and she wants pride, with a fun twist.

The ordinary dances that make you sweat and remove your thong, like in one recent case, are about to change, too. No longer will they simply open the doors, kill the lights, turn up the tunes and call it a party. Under Bozzone, Student Activities promises decorations, a safer environment and food.

With the innovative activities planned for the year, it is a completely remodeled Student Activities staff under a lively young director who is passionate about having a good time

It is essential to the revolution that students and faculty understand that Cabrini activities are only as good as you make them. The revamped Student Activities staff will do their part, so do yours.

Instead of sitting in a dorm room or apartment indulging in long nights of inebriation, be a part of the change.

Never again will a group of Cabrini students be able to say that they made it happen.

Never again will we be the leading force of a lasting revolution. If we do this the right way, Cabrini will remember us and we will have our memories of Cabrini foreve~.

Facilities works hard to make campus feel like home

I- RYAN NORRIS

STAFFWRITER

Besides Housekeeping in some areas, I think the facilities department here at Carbine has been doing a great job. Our facilities department here at Cabrini is divided into three groups: Maintenance, Landscaping, and Housekeeping. The maintenance department is the group of people who fix keys and locks, paint the walls, repair holes, secure ceilings, and much more. This year they have been doing an amazing job in my mind. I remember last year when a work order was put in, you were lucky if maintenance even got it a week later. This year they have been getting so many things done the day after that work order gets to them. My main example is Xavier. One of the glass walls before one of the quads was broken, and the next day they had it replaced. From dead lights in the ceiling to filling holes in the wall, they have just been on top of things. Of course

there are some things they may not have gotten to on time, but do you know how many work orders they can get sometimes. They have been putting the students first and trying to make it as comfortable and safe as possible. Two examples of concerns that students had in Xavier were the water having a foul odor to it and the ceiling leaking when it rains. Maintenance wanted to get right to the bottom of these things and fix them right away. I was told by one of the workers that they believe the water has that foul odor to it only when its hot because the water tank is getting old and the inside of the tank is corroding. So they got right on that and have ordered a new tank to hopefully fix that problem. As for the ceiling, they found the spots that were leaking and plan to patch them as soon as possible.

In another part of the facilities is landscaping. They have been keeping this campus beautiful with such a small amount of workers. Their main concern is not getting their paycheck, but that this campus looks as beautiful as it is. The grounds manager of

Letterto the editor: Night parking not fair or safe for commuterstudents

Landscaping here at Cabrini, Gus Feudale, has put so much time in, even when he is not clocked in, to make sure this campus doesn't loose its beauty. Unlike housekeeping, they don't just mop the floor to get the job done; they mop that floor to make it clean.

I love housekeeping and the time they put in to keep the buildings on our campus clean, but some students have felt that where their livingjust isn't clean enough. Some bathrooms have had things smeared on walls, and not cleaned up. The floors get mopped with dirty mops and then are sticky after they dry. Some of the houses have complained about their places not even being cleaned at all. I need to thank housekeeping greatly for the work they do on keeping the trash picked up, and vacuuming and such, but as for mopping and bathrooms, the students have had to think twice about using them because of how dirty they can be. Cabrini is technically a college, but can also be categorized as a home to some, and students should feel very comfortable at home.

Crash and burn Internet: inore than just inconvenient

I recently received a parking violation from Public Safety that I feel is very unfair. On Tuesday Sept. 24 l was in the New Residence Hall to participate in a game of Quizzo. [ parked on Residential Boulevard, like I have so many times before, but when I returned to my car I found a parking violation ticket for parking in a "residents only" section. Now as both a commuter and a woman I have a few problems with this.

First of all commuters already feel alienated from the rest of the students who live on campus, but to say that I can't park outside the donn of a friend I am visiting is not right. I mean what are my options? I can park in the Founders Hall or Dixon Center parking lots and walk across our poorly lit campus late at night. As a woman this not something I feel very comfortable doing.

It is my opinion that it is not smart for a woman to walk by herself late and night no matter where she is. Okay my second option is to just park on Residential Boulevard and get a ticket. This hardly seems worth it. I might as well just stay home and watch TV at night. This is part of what makes commuters feel left out and unwelcome.

just as much as a resident for parking, and as such, I should be able to park my car in any student parking spot, whether it be outside house two, outside the Dixon Center, or outside Founders Hall.

I personally do not remember seeing the "commuters only" parking section. If we are going to be fair, then both Founders Hall and Dixon Center parking lots should be for commuters only.

I understand that residents need places to park their cars, and maybe Residential Boulevard shouldn't be crowded with commuter cars, but the same should go for commuters. What about when I am running a few minutes late because I got stuck in traffic on the way to class and there is no place in Founders Hall to park my car because there are residents' cars parked there since they are to lazy to walk to class. I have to park in Dixon. and sometimes am a few minutes late for class because of this.

So it is my feeling that this rule about "residents parking'' is unfair. It isolates commuters to know that residents can park anywhere on campus, but we cannot. This is really unfair in my option, and I feel it should be changed.

As a student,. the website editor for the paper and as someone who pays a portion of tuition, I have to complain about the ongoing problems with the Internet on campus. Why in the hell does the Internet go down all of the time?

I thought that the partnership with Drexel would have made Cabrini's Internet connection and abilities top notch. I have found out that I am wrong, dead wrong. The Internet seems to be up everywhere else in the world, with the exception of Cabrini. If you walk

over to Eastern, you will find that their Internet is up when Cabrini's is down. Can the school get an answer to why that is? Can someone from Drexel tell us? How about our own ITR department at school? Was the new server that the school began using last year supposed to stop these problems from happening or just add to the problem?

When a student has research to do and because of their schedule they need to do it on campus, they are screwed. I don't know how any of the residents actually. get anything done when they need the Internet. The Internet being down is hindering our education as students at Cabrini.

Do we get an apology? Do we

get some kind of refund for Cabrini not providing an essential learning tool? I get graded on whether the paper goes up on the Internet on time. So far three out of four weeks that we have put the paper online, the Internet has gone down. I wish that when they gave tours of Cabrini that they would take you into one of the computer classes. Not so that you can see great technological advances that the school has made, instead you could see students sitting around imagining what they could be doing on the Internet.

This perspective was going to be a web exclusive; however I am not sure that anyone on campus would have been able to read it.

Another major problem I have with this is that we all pay the same amount each year to get a permit to park on campus. Yes, that's right. I, a commuter, pay

Freshinan car rules: as good as gone

RAY CROCE GUESTWRITER

"No freshmen parking" that is what we were told at orientation and when we were first accepted here, yet after a month of school there are freshmen with cars on campus.

Some are here with cars because they need it due to med- . ical reasons but others have their cars here for no real reason at all. Those freshmen take up the little parking that is on campus to begin with. That leaves many upperclassmen without parking in front of their buildings. They have to park by the new Residence Hall and behind Founders Hall.

The parking problem could be fixed in any number of ways. The first would be to make sure that no freshmen park on campus, they could also number the spots and -. assign them or they could clear land an make new parking lots by Xavier and the apartments. It's because there is a problem even with all the solutions and yet the school is not looking into them.

in one of the houses? Its because freshmen are parking in the lot by The New Residence Hall. I understand that the school has given the freshmen visitors passes which allows them to park down by The Dixon Center but they still park where they aren't supposed to. Public Safety tickets those people maybe once a month and the parent's pay for the ticket. They need to be given a ticket every day until they move their car and then they will not park there anymore, opening up a spot for the people who are allowed to park there.

the musicians recognize me over aJtd over and want to talk to me and say hi to me before and after the shows means so much.

"

If you say no freshmen parking then you have to be able to enforce that at all times including weekends. The one thing they can't do is say one freshmen can't park here and the let a quarter of the freshman class park on campus. Freshmen have their cars up here because they have a job, l can understand that every one has to be able to get to work. What T don't understand is that when I told them I have a job in the city thirty minutes away they told me to take the shuttle and then the train yet someone that works less then I do ten minutes down the road is able to have their car on _,. campus. Now why is it that a freshman that works thirty minutes away would have to use money to take the train yet another freshman that works at the mall is able to have a car on campus.

How many times have you gotten into the parking lot only to find that the closes parking spot was in Founders Hall and you live

The other parking problem we have is that there just aren't enough spots for every one that has a car. If they were to number the spots and give them out first come first serve then the people that live in the New Residence Hall through house two could park in the New Residence lot. Then the people that live in house three through the apartments could park along the street and in the apartment lot. They could then number the spots behind Founders and Dixon for freshmen. They could also clear out land behind the apartments and Xavier to make number lots so the freshmen who live on campus .can park there and the commuters could still park behind Founders.

There are many ways to make it so that every one can have a car on campus comfortably, but they first have to decide no cars for freshmen, and mean all freshmen, or they have to go about making room for freshmen parking. They can number spots and ticket people every day for parking in the wrong spot. That way every one can park near their rooms. They could clear out land and put in more spots by the apartment s so that the juniors and seniors that live there don't park by the houses and dorm buildings. If they are going to allow freshmen to park on campus they need to clear out land by the dorms to make parking for freshmen only. There are many ways that the parking problem on campus could be fixed and yet the school turns a blind eye to it and do nothing.

Anyone who knows me knows of my love for music. I'm pretty confident that my friends are sick and tired of hearing about the · same bands, or listening to the same CDs in my car every time I drive somewhere. This is a passion of mine that I wear on my sleeve, and I make every effort to tie it in to every moment of every day. If people think this is nuts, this is nothing. If you were to compare my daily routine to how I am at live concerts you would think I'd need help. Concerts are my favorite thing to do. Period. Nothing comes even remotely close to the excitement I feel when watching some of my favorite bands perform.

Because a lot of the bands l listen to aren't huge in the music industry, I'm very fortunate to meet a lot of them. This also adds to the live show because having

Knowing that they care to talk to me means a lot, and its something I appreciate more than most people know. I have to respect a band in order to love them, and when I see the band take time out of their busy 'rock star' schedule to talk to people it takes my appreciation to a new level.

This year alone I've been to about twenty concerts, eight of which were out of state. Of those eight, two were in New Jersey, one in D.C., two in North Carolina, and two in Chicago. It wasn't a coincidence that I just happened to be on vacation and catch my favorite bands perform, I drove out of state to specifically see these bands. Am I a little crazy to be doing this? Some believe so. For me it's an adventure worth taking. The reason I drove to Chicago was to see Local H my favorite band. Because they're from Chicago it meant a lot to me to see them play close to home. Their biggest following is the Chi-

town area, so I wanted to experience that ultimate show. Because I've been seeing the band since '97, I've made friends with them and kept in touch. Their old Road Manager, Gabe Rodriguez was nice enough to let me stay at his place for the week while my friend and I were out 'Rokken like Dokken.' Needless to say, my road trip was the best time of my life. I saw the suburban Chicago town of Zion, where the band went to high school. My favorite album of theirs was written about this town. As stupid as it may sound, this was probably the coolest part of the trip, getting to experience first hand what they really meant. So for me, my love for rock and roll goes way further in depth than just the CD I play in my stereo. It's on a more personal level. I can honestly say that I've met every musician that I've wanted to meet to this date, and I consider those to be very important moments in my life. I am a rock and roll professional.

SGA is looking foward for everyone to come out and have a great time.

Softball team realizes need for hard work

GINA h.RACCBIA STAFFWRITER

The women's softball team has been nationally ranked for the past three years and ready for another season this coming spring.

Karen Pelkey will is the head coach, for the second year in a row. The first two years here she was assistant coach. Pelkey, or Pelleas everyone on the team caUs her, is just as excited for this softbafi season as her team, Last season, they proved how strong and determined they were to succeed and are ready to do it all over again. Even though there is more pressure on the team to win this year, their strategy does not change.

"Play each game better than we did the last, winning the game one inning at a time," Pelkey said. "We have good experience and that will help carry us through the tight games,"

Last year the softbaJJ team had a winning streak for almost two months, which led them to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Tournament against Gwynedd-Mercy, and Misericordia. After oefeating both these teams. they moved on to win the NCAA First-Round Tournament against Western Maryland Coriege, 6-1. They were not able to make it to the end of the tournament, and will never forget the last game of their season. Melanie Klaus, a senior and catcher for the softball team, said, "We lost and it was really hard. We worked for so long, and we weren't expecting to be done with our season already, but we had some really good games last year."

Three players who are now the powerhouse of the team were freshmen when they joine-0, and boosted the softball team's status. "The team really took flight when this year's three seniors

Rita Homing, HeatherTu, Mel Klaus, and the class of 2002 werethedrivingforcebehindthe success of the program,"Pellcey said.

Thereare a few newplayers this yearwho are goingto prove to be as crucial to the teamas the returningplayers. Thisis a program that lives up to the word "team"and each player has a very important place on it. Everyone has a specific job and is importantto the program.

Besides havinggreat players who are serious about this sport, the softball team also knows how to have •fun. One thing they believe works at helping them win is the fact that they are so superstitious. Bags have to be placed in the same locations, cheers have to be said at the correct times before the start of a game, and the right people have to say the right things.

"We always do better in our toughest games when we're having a good time," Klaus said ''When we're all stressed out we don't play up to our potential."

The softball team agrees that being nationally ranked for the past three years is an ego booster, but they don't let it go to their heads. Even though they are ranked, some teams still don't take them seriously. They have played Division I teams like Villanova and St. Joseph's University, and have beaten both. These teams did not expect the softball team to be as good and as a result they were taken by surprise.

The softball team realizes how hard they will have to work tbi~ fall before the start of their season. They want to try and go above and beyond their wellknown status they achieved last year, and are focused and ready to achieve their goal, while having a good time.

The Lady Cavalier's soccer team lost to Eastern University on Tuesday, Sept. 24 with the score 4-0.

The defense had their hands full in the first half, making crucial tum-overs and taking possession of the ball. Freshman Mary Remoli had excellent foot work and kept Eastern 's goalkeeper, Junior Allison Lecesse very busy.

The first goal of the game was scored with 6:45 left in the first half. Lecesse was kept very busy and tallied four saves in the first half, keeping the score at 0- l. The next goal was scored with 19: 15 left in the second half when the ball was kicked across the net, perfectly planted for a corner shot that was almost untouchable. Eastern then scored the next two unanswered goals several minutes later while keeping Cabrini from penetrating the net at all.

"We played very well as a team in the first half, we just need to •work on the full game," said Liz Graham, junior. And that seemed to be what everyone who saw the game had said. Captain Kelli Romano said, "We played really well. We just couldn't score and we couldn't finish."

Even though it was a shut out, the players were not disappointed completely. Head Coach Ken Prothero said, "We're playing extremely well but we have a young team. Most of our games we control the tempo of the match and possessed the match, but we've had some unlucky goals scored. We're in the middle of a rebuilding year with a lot of young talent."

But playing the entire 90 minutes isn't the only thing the women need to work on. Most of the team commented on how well they have been playing, but many question the heart that goes into their performance. "We have the

talent, we have the skill, we just need the want to win," said Graham.

Jess Stork, now a Cabrini alum and former soccer captain said, "The talent on this team is the best that it's been since the start of the program. However, you can have all the talent in the world but without the heart that (talent) doesn't mean anything. You need to want to win."

There has been nothing but positive feedback from players about Head Coach Ken Prothero's coaching. "He's a really good coach, he's helped us a lot." Romano said.

"He has a very young team, and for a first year coach he's handing the pressure very well," Graham said. Through all of the good and the bad, Prothero is very positive for the program's future. "We're going to be a very tough team to beat in a few years. Anyone who has seen us play knows this."

Fall ball prepares lacrosse team for upcoming season

With hopes of winning the PAC Championship, the men's lacrosse team gets the ball rolling with the annual fall ball lacrosse tournament.

CHRISTJJ\A PlSELLl STAFF WRITER

The men's lacrosse team began the fall ball season on Sept. 16. Fall ball helps prepare the team for the start pf the upcoming spring season. Head coach Steve Colfer said, "It allows us to get the freshman out and acclimated to the team." Assistant coach Ryan Greer said, "The purpose of fall ball is to get the team in shape, critique the freshman and see how they adapt."

Practices are held four days a week and last about two hours. Each practice consists of a cardiovascular workout that includes a 2.2 mile run on campus, in which each member of the team has to run and touch each of the three exits on campus, stretching, fundamentals and basic lacrosse drills. Senior Tom Grosse, captain, said, " It helps set the foundation for the new season and develop team unity." Freshman Nick Terlizzo said, " Fall ball helps me learn the coaches' expectations."

Fall ball ends this Saturday, Oct. 5 when the Cavaliers travel to Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. The team is scheduled to scrimmage Muhlenberg at 11 a.m. and Widener at 1 p.m. This year returning captains are seniors Mike Pape, Brandon Lawler and Tom Grosse. The offense will be led by Mike Piccoli, Mike Pape, Rory Friel, Justin Gray and Nick Marks. Antonio Massone will be in goal. Leading the freshman class so far are Kevin Rayer, Matt Grosse, Nick Terlizzo and Dan Collins, but the team will need more freshman to contribute.

Practices for the spring season will begin in January and increase to five days a week. The ultimate goal for the upcoming season is to win the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference and go to the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. Colfer said, "It's going to take very hard work and dedication to have a successful season." The first game is scheduled for March 16 against Mary Washmgton College.

After the Lady Cavs won their first game of the season last Tuesday, Sept. 24 against Gwynedd-Mercy in a 3-0 shutout, the women's field hockey team suffered an upsetting defeat this week to the Lady Scarlet Knights of Arcadia University 4-1.

JERMAlNE O'NEIL STAFF WRITER

The Lady Cavs lost to the Scarlet Knights of Arcadia University on mud-slopped field Thursday, Sept. 26.

The loss crune after a shutout win against Gwynedd-Mercy on Tuesday, Sept. 24. The team won 3-0, giving them their first win of the season.

Mary Paster, mother of Christina and Michelle Paster, sisters who battled each other from opposite sides of the ball, said, "Cabrini is starting to play better as team and I want them to tie."

However, one team had to win and it was the Lady Cavs who answered the call.

Last season the Lady Cavs

went into a double shoot out with the Scarlet Knights. The game was intense and down to the wire. In the end it was Cabrini with more points on the board. This season's game would be different.

The first four points to be put on the board all belonged to the Scarlet Knights, with the first goal being scored by forward Stephanie Smolinsky. Three goals came in the first half and one in the second.

After the fourth and final Arcadia goal, "Shutout baby" was yelled in the background by an excited Arcadia fan. Arcadia was looking for a shutout, but would it happen?

Cabrini dido 't see it that way.In the second half junior Maureen McQuade, co-captain of the team,

scored Cabrini's first goal, now making it a three-goal game. This was the only goal the ladies were able to successfully receive, but·

we were down 4-0, Moe managed to score a goal," Holly Orlando, forward, said.

In an all and out effort the

halfback, said, "We played well against Arcadia, but it was just a matter of who wanted it more. They came out on top so l guess they did, but our team is finally clicking so the future of the season is looking a lot better."
