Inside the mind of the 'Beltway Sniper'

JACKIE FREESE STAFF WRJTER

The "Beltway Sniper" is an unusual case of a criminal mind, according to local authorities and faculty.

The sniper, who as of Tuesday, Oct. 22, has shot 13 people, killing l O of them. All of the shootings have occurred in Washington D.C. and suburbs of Maryland and Virginia.

The sniper appears to be picking his victims at random, which is unusual for a serial killer.

"Usually, serial murderers have a certain victim in mind," Kevin Steele, deputy district attorney of the trials division of Montgomery County, Pa., said. "These shootings appear to be completely at random." Steele will be teaching criminal law next semester.

Police districts have special departments to profile criminals. Behavioral units, as they are called, attempt to piece together the mind and background of the perpetrator.

"Tl)e FBI certainly has their hands full with this person," Steele said. "Serial killers are a lot easiei; to profile if they have a motive and the sniper seems to have no clear motive. It is evident, however, that the sniper knows the area very well because the shootings have been confined to a particular region."

The sniper has taunted area residents by leaving behind evidence at the scenes of the shootings. In the shooting on Saturday, Oct. 19, the sniper left behind a lengthy message at the Ponderosa steakhouse, where a man was·critically wounded. The message warned area residents, "Your children are not safe anywhere, at any time."

Other evidence that has been left behind is a tarot death card and a message saying, "Dear Policeman, I am God" at the shooting at a Bowie, Md. school on Monday, Oct. 7, which wound-

"The sniper has "left evidence, so he or she probably wants notoriety for his or her crimes," Dr. Kathleen McKinley, sociology department chair, said. "These killers have socio-path aspects in them and expect impunity."

Residents of the region remain fearful and alert. Many are scared to walk down the street, go to the grocery store and even pump gas in their cars because many of the shootings have occurred in public places.

"Montgomery County is 20

minutes away from where I live," Michelle Murray, sophomore, said. "I figure if the sniper was willing to drive 50 miles away from D.C. to shoot, he or she could drive 20 minutes to Baltimore. Honestly, I am not all that worried, but I talk to my mom everyday and she is very worried."

"While everyday life has not changed dramatically,. police are everywhere," sophomore Morgan · Manago, who went home to Washington, D.C. over the Columbus weekend break, said.

Danielle Dorsey, a freshman,

learned of something particularly eerie when she went to her father's house in Washington D.C. over the weekend ):,reak.

"My sister was at the Home Depot two hours prior to when that woman was shot there on Monday night," Dorsey said. "At first, I was not scared when I went home, but after I found out about my sister, .I was very scared."

Dorsey's fear may be put to an end in the near future. The FBI has put together a composite sketch of a truck that was seen at many of the shootings as well as a descrip-

tion and partial license plate number of a white van with ladders on the top of it that was around the killings. They ·have also profiled the killer as a white male, aged 1530, who probably lives in the D.C. area with a military background. The sniper has apparently left police with a phone number to call and a ransom of "several million dollars" to comply with, according to an anonymous law enforcement source.

"Hopefully this person is caught soon," Dorsey said. "It is a very scary time."

Students, administration take light -walk on campus

CATHARINE BERNSON PERSPECTIVES EDITOR

Each year the administration walks around campus with members of the student body to evalu• ate the safety of the campus.

The Student Government Association worked with the Student Life office and other members of the administration to set up the "safety walk" for Tuesday, Oct. 22.

The walkers included Stephen Lightcap, vice president of finance and administration, Dr. Richard Neville, vice president of student development, Harold Holden, director of facilities, Charlie Schaffner, director of public safety, Angie. Hodgeman, coordinator of residents life, Joe Johnson, resident director, Kevin Quaglia, president of the residence hall associatioh, Bern Hazel, president of the SGA exec• utive board and Jesse Gluckman, resident assistant.

During the walk, the student representatives explained to the administrative representatives how they felt the lighting on cam• pus was inadequate. Also discussed was the idea of campus safety and how students should be more careful. Schaffner added that students can always call public safety for an escort if they feel unsafe walking alone at night or use the 'the buddy system."

Call boxes are now in the plans for the parking areas on Residential Boulevard as well as some new light poles around the drive. One of the reasons for the lack of lighting around campus is that the lights are no longer working. Any student can call facilities to inform them of the problem. Each light is equipped with a number on •the side of pole for easy reference.

The administration has plans to go on another walk in the spring semester in order to see if changes are being made in a tim;ely manner. "A campus changes more quickly than we realize," Holden said.

This light walk. did have some problems keeping students and administrators from seeing the true darkness of the campus. There was a tennis match that night and the lights flooded the surrounding area. The light made much of the walk futile, as the areas behind the houses and apartment complex were of great concern to the residents.

The suggestions of this light walk will be handled as funds are made available for the new equipment. Last year's walk brought the addition of the new blue emergency call boxes in the Dixon Center parking lot.

In order to make changes students can contact facilities or the SGA. Both organizations will work together to make the campus safer for residents and commuters.

Margaret Haas, a senior from Long Island, N.Y., said, "Let people do what they want to do on the weekends." She added that people might be more likely to stay on campus if rules were not so restrictive. The three-hour ride did not stop Haas from going home on the weekends her freshman year; she took the train home.

Now, with her car on campus, Haas leaves Cabrini every weekend.

The possibilities are limitless; students can study anywhere in the world. Study abroad is the gateway to that possibility. Without spending additional funds for both tuition and room and board, Cabrini students have the opportunity to study almost anywhere in the world.

"The opp_ortunities available for Study Abroad are expanding," Dr. Nicholas Uliano, coordinator of study abroad, said. "We already have an excellent selection of programs available for our students, exciting new .programs are also under consideration and development."

According to Uliano, the current freshmen will be able to take advantage of several new programs, including a program with the Manchester Metropolitan University in England and a program called "Cabrini in Australia," at the University of Nortre Dame in Australia.

end," Devon Spratling, a sophomore from San Antonio, Texas, said. Spratling, as well as Giacomantonio, are currently considering transferring from Cabrini, looking into schools closer to home that are not considered "suitcase schools." They said they are taking social aspects into consideration.

Ramiro Ramirez, a junior from Valencia, Venezuela, recommended that campus-wide parties. like Cabrini dances, be on a more regular basis. Planned weekend act1v1ttes, he suggested, could stem the tide of cars leaving Cabrini every Friday. Giacomantonio and others look forward to staying on campus for Midnight Madness and other activities that occupy weekend hours.

The Australia program, which will take about a year to get started, is for the spring semester, from Jan. to June. For the first four weeks, participating students will take a three-credit environmental studies class and spend one week in a classroom, two weeks on a boat off the Australian waters and the last week back in the classroom. The semester then begins in February, with only 12 credits, for a total of 15 credits. With a 12credit semester "students have

Junior Renee Kain is taking advantage of the current Australian study abroad program available through our liaison with Arcadia University. She will be traveling there during the spring semester of 2003. She chose Australia because she did not want any language barriers while she was away. She has also been doing some research on the country and "realized how beautiful it is. There are rainforests, mountains and beaches all in one place," Kain said.

Besides the Australia program that is being developed, there is already a program in place, through Cabrini, at the American University of Rome. "A smdent can go to "Rome and register for the program as though he or she is a Cabrini student," Uliano said. "You pay all of the fees here; everything is handled through Cabrini. And, if you ask a smdent 'would you enjoy studying in Rome for a semester, or would you prefer to remain in the United States?' the choice is not that difficult."

The study abroad program offered to students is not majorspecific, nor do the students have to know the language of the country to which they are traveling. However, if the student does not know the language of the country to which he or she is traveling, it is

Although a student can study abroad during any year, except freshmen year, the ideal time, according to Uliano, is during junior year. The best time to start making plans is during sophomore year. "A student should plan an entire year before the semester he or she wants to study abroad," Uliano said. Students should know the courses they are going to be taking before they leave, the ones they will be taking while abroad and what they will be taking the semester after they return.

Although students should start preparing for a year prior to the year they want to study abroad, the paper work does not require a lot of time and effort. "Students can do most of the paper work right here in my office," Uliano said.

According to Uliano, the little bit of extra time spent preparing for studying abroad is well worth it. Besides experiencing an amazing opportunity, "When you apply for a job and you present a transcript from Cabrini, which includes a Study Abroad program, it is going to be even more impressive, because it shows that you are a special kind of person who has a vision of the entire world, a vision, which expands beyond the intimate Cabrini campus," Uliano said.

Student conversations vary about personal issues

MELISSA DIPIETRANTOl'ilO STAFF WRITER

Students at Cabrini are found to have widely varying opinions about discussing intellectual and mind-stretching topics. The degree directly depends on friendship, classes and personalities.

Sophomore Jayme Thompson enjoys speaking to older people. She said, "There are older people l know who I talk to about my life. They are insightful, so I learn from them. There is an older woman in my education class who I had to work with and she, to my surprise, was on my 19-year-old level. She switched her adult way of thinking to mine and the whole groups to relate to us. So it was really nice and I could tell her intelligence, being older, and her wisdom and everything. So yes, l do talk to older people. It's actually kind of nice."

Hispanic, heterosexual sophomore Terisita Cruz has a homosexual friend and she said he keeps his conversation about being gay between the two of them. "He has told me about what it is like being gay, but only because he felt he could trust me. He does not go around telling everyone about his lifestyle and I do not think too many people do because they are not comfortable."

Some people would like to engage in serious conversations, but do not find many people who are willing to do the same.

African American senior Geronna Lewis said, "I do talk about religion, but there is only one person I talk to about it. The only reason I talk to this one person is because they believe in the same things I believe in. It is not something a lot of people talk about. I have another friend who does not like anything religious. I know she believes, she is Catholic, but when it comes to discussing different divisions of religion, she does not feel comfortable about it. It;is such an uncomfortable issue to talk about. It is like a taboo to talk about religion for some people."

Lewis' conversations do not go beyond her group of friends, who are primarily African American. "I personally have never had a deep conversation with another

student of different ethnic background. I have spoken to maybe a couple different people that brought about certain issues regarding being a minority. That is about as far as it goes though. It's nothing deeper than that," Lewis said. "I think students do talk to other ethnicities and races, but it is all a matter of who you hang out with. The majority of my friends are African American, like me, but I do talk to other people. It just so happens that my closest friends are African American. People do talk to people outside their ethnic background, but it does not last very long _because it starts to get touchy. Sometimes there is also a cultural difference, so people have a different perspective because they grew up differently. Their view on one issue can be totally different and they start butting heads. It does not happen too often. There might be a slight conversation and after that it's not heard of again. I do it all the time. Maybe the other person will not relate to you the same because you think they are too different from you."

.

Lewis thinks many times people have these types of conversations when they are in class, such as an ethics class. "When an issue is really of interest or touchy, people have their own opinions. That is the only time that you will real-

ly find students talking amongst each other about the sort of 'taboo topics."'

Lewis likes to speak to the faculty and staff of the college to be better informed. "I talk to older people all the time like older adults on campus about the politics of the college because I do not really know how it is run, but there are certain things I try to look into. Being a student here I should be concerned with how everything is run on campus. I talk to older people to learn and it helps me figure out where my mindset is and what am I thinking."

Lewis feels as if students do not have enough to say about important issues such as the college. "A lot of people say 'Cabrini sucks!' I mean, why does it suck? Is it because everything isn't going your way? Or is there something that they are doing that is not right. UsualJy the college has a reason for the things they do. I might not understand or agree with it, but there is a reason. It is good to understand this knowledge. It is hard to talk to some students your age because they have different mind levels. I am not saying that I am intelligent, but when you really want to have a deep conversation with them, they are just like, 'it sucks.' Give me some more than that! People this age are like, 'hi, how are you?' It is a very

small conversation, not very intellectual. It is like 'oh she dumped her boyfriend,' and I am like 'oh, .that's so sad."'

African American junior Aking Beverly has intellectual conversations very frequently, especially about religion. "I do tend to talk to teachers. I tend to talk to my peers, philosophy majors and teachers about religion as a whole. As far as deep conversation goes, for me, pure enlightenment comes from it. I have a lot of spiritual mentors that know a lot about different religions and have actually been to different countries."

Beverly said he takes past their comfortable limits. "I talk about homosexuality, their insecurities and especially religious beliefs. I like to talk to a lot of philosophy majors about their beliefs because they try to challenge spiritual beliefs with logical beliefs."

"I was a die hard homophobe and I was put in a situation where I ended up working in a store full of homosexuals, and basically the money was too good for me to run away because of my fear, so I had the chance to sit down and actually understand why. I understood their sins and flaws are no different from my sins and my flaws."

Most of Beverly's conversations are had with Caucasians. "All my deep conversations have come from white students craving

receive a vaccine. People with allergies, those on medication for HIV, heart transplant recipients and others receiving certain medicines are warned not to take the vaccine for fear of severe and immediate complications.Not only that, there is a slight chance the vaccine will not prevent one from the disease.

"No vaccine is I 00 percent, so even if you get the shot, it is not a guarantee that you are safe from smallpox or any other disease for that matter," Doctor of Osteopathy at Cabrini College, Madeline Danny said.

There is no cure for the disease. Once a person has it, the disease overcomes the body in boil or lesion forms that itch and cause extreme irritation. Often times the pus that comes out of the lesions cause one to go blind. It is from the secretion of the lesions that spread to the hands, which then end up near the eyes. There are three forms of the virus: malignant, typical and hemorrhagic.

The malignant and hemorrhagic forms are very lethal. In fact, 90 percent of the time people are infected with these forms, the result is fatality. Whereas typical smallpox has a 30 percent chance of casualties.

"I think doctors need to be aware that there are three forms of the virus and they present themselves in different ways clinically. Doctors need that type of training because it is a possibility that the virus will be released," Dr. Sherry Fuller-Espie, chair of the science department, said.

The virus was discontinued in 1972 because children were no longer threatened by smallpox. The abundant amount of people still getting shots each year were suffering horrible reactions and many were dying of complication. No one on earth has contracted smallpox since 1977.

The Variola virus, which causes smallpox, is still alive today even though no one on earth has been infected with the disease in nearly

25 years. The Soviet government had secret labs containing a biological program for the use of weapons. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is possible the stocks fell into the possession of other countries because the contents were never fully accounted for. The old question has recently been brought to our attention once again, could terrorists hit us with smallpox?

"If you would have asked me this a couple of months ago, I would have said no, but I am thinking more and more now that something like this could happen, maybe not in the United States but somewhere around us," Danny said.

"People should not get really nervous about this. The likelihood of this coming to Cabrini is so slim, so remote. A lot ofit is about education, knowing what to look for ahead of time, and acting promptly," Fuller-Espie said. There are some ways to feel safe from the constant thought of

an attack. One way is to go about a normal routine, but remain alert to the•surroundings. Also, if a person feels the need to get vaccinated, there are doctors who are willing and able to give them. Most people believe the most effective way is to remain calm and well informed.

"I have been reading up on the latest information provided about smallpox and other diseases that could be used at biological warfare and I feel better I know something. I think the best precaution a person can take would be to stay educated, and to know what you can do if something terrible does happen," junior Alissa Smith said.

"I think we need to be cautious about everything we do, whether it is sharing a water bottle or eating from someone else's fork, because you never know. It is not only good to do for small pox and terrorists but for ourselves because you can spread the flu, meningitis and any other diseases through secretion," Danny said.

Professor presents play to faculty

RYANMULLOY A&EEDITOR

Over sabbatical, a campus professor started writing a play that ended up being produced by a local theater company. Now, the play on tape, is coming to Founder's Hall for a faculty audience and the possibility of a campus release.

In April, Dr. Sharon Schwarze, the department chair of the philosophy department, on sabbatical, decided to begin writing monologues and dialogue in an attempt to learn how to write a play. After starting to get things down, Schwarze decided to take an eight-week class to better her writing.

"I signed up for class at the People's Light and Theater Company in playwriting," Schwarze said, ''but it was more of a writing workshop." In the class, Schwarze was read and critiqued and given suggestions about her work. "I learned, and I know I have a lot more to learn."

The play Schwarze worked on is called "The Tin Years;' and focuses on the elderly, dealing with themes of death and dying, but also touches on the caregiver relationships between a mother and a daughter. "The idea came to me because I have had elderly parents, and they live in one of these communities for elderly people. I watch them and the

people around them, and I see how difficult it is to get old and how much courage a lot of them show." The play overall took three months to work on, but the finished product came out in 45 pages, with 10 scenes taking up the one-act show.

She continued to progress, learning from other people, and soon, her play was ready for production. "It turns out that one of the people in the course was a man who runs an amateur theatrical company called the 'Kennett Amateur Theatrical Society."'

The company picked up several of the plays worked on in the class with a program called "Plays in Plain Clothes." The show was cut down by the group, removing a few scenes, but Schwarze is still toying with her writing, making rewrites, listening to critics and working with the directors.

"It was real exciting to see people really act out your work. I think the play was well received. It is not really an upper as a play because it deals with issues like death.'' Schwarze's reasoning for writing the play this way was a sense of reminding people about the humanity of people."

Schwarze is presenting the play on tape in a faculty forum and hopes that if it is well received, it will come to students.

From Eminem and The Dave Matthews Band to Britney Spears and N*Sync, concerts are a part of entertainment. Going to school so close to Philadelphia gives students the chance to go to a variety of different concerts in a variety of different venues. However, which venue is the best?

Sophomore Marisa Castellana has gone to concerts at the First Union Center, the Electric Factory and the Tweeter Center. Her favorite venue would have to be The Tweeter Center. "I like how you can sit outside. It is really cool during the summer."

Senior Mike Pape agrees. "The best thing about concerts at the Tweeter Center is that you can sit outside." The attraction of the Tweeter Center appears to be that there is outdoor seating. The only downfall is when it happens to

rain, and you have lawn seats. Sophomore Chris Spratt agrees. "Sometimes it stinks when you have lawn seats and it rains, but it still can be fun."

The Tweeter "' Center offers music year- The Tweeter Center is a favorite of Cabrini students. giving round, opening them the experience of enjoying the outside while listening to the outdoor seat- th e music. ing during the spring and summer seasons. Even in the rain, the music continues. The Tweeter Center has been the host of many groups including N*Sync, ·The Dave Matthews Band, Bon Jovi and the Q 102 Concerts. For event information at the Tweeter Center, call 215-222-LOVE.

and TowerTheater, located at 69th and Ludlow Street in Upper Darby, The Electric Factory is currently hosting Ben Folds Five and Reel Big Fish. The Tower Theater is preparing for performances by David Bowie and Elvis Costello.

The First Union Center is the home to some of Philadelphia's sports teams, but will soon be visited by Cher and Rush.

The First Union Center is also another prominent concert venue. It is currently hosting the band No Doubt. The First Union Center had been a art of Philadelphia entertainment since the summer of 1996 hosting the Philadelphia '76er's and. the Philadelphia Flyers' home games, along with an array of concerts. Upcoming concerts include Cher and Rush. For further information, call the First Union Center at (215)3363600.

Other possible venues sometimes frequented by Cabrini students include the Electric Factory, located at 421 North 7th Street

Being so close to the city, the door is wide open for a variety of concerts in a variety of different venues. However, it seems as though the Tweeter Center is the venue of choice for most students.

Senior Scott Giblin seems to sum it all up, "One of the best things about going to the Tweeter Center is that being on the lawn, you can just wander around and meet up with people during the concert."

So, if you are looking for a night of music, there are many different venues for you to explore. Just bring an extra umbrella incase you have lawn seats at the Tweeter Center.

The Eastern State Penitentiary is hosting Terror Behind the Walls, a haunted tour of the national~ •

Eastern State Peniten~ary is one of the most visited landmarks in Philadelphia. From the out side it has a very medieval castle like fa,;ade that intimidates even the most fearless passerby.

For the Halloween season the penitentiary opens it's doors for a different type of tour than it gives throughout the rest of the year. Terror Behind the Walls takes advantage of the stigma that surrounds the building to draw in curious people who want to be scared for the night.

Once the ticket holder enters the penitentiary they are immediately intimidated by the size of the inside of the structure·.They then have to wait in line for about twenty minutes. During that time there are several televisions that are playing tapes of shows that were made about the penitentiary. This gives the customer a chance to see what the building actually looks like and they also get to hear about all of the stories surrounding the penitentiary.

Once one enters the bowels of the penitentiary they are told the rules for the haunted house and are moved along into the haunted penitentiary display.

The first of three cellblocks of terror is the maximum security section. In this section of the journey there are electric fences, chain-link walls and prisoners trying to scare the customer.

After the maximum security portion everyone enters the 3D medical ward where they are given 3D glasses. This section shows how the prisoners have taken over the penitentiary and it feels as though you are having a psychotic nightmare.

The third and final portion of the event is the tunnel escape. This is the scariest portion of the journey. In this portion everyone is separated into small groups and sent into a dark tunnel like area were one is not warned of what is coming up by the people in front of them, unlike everything before this portion.

Terror Behind the Walls wiU be running through Nov. 2. Tickets cost from $15 to $20, and should be bought in advance either through Ticket Master or the penitentiary's box office from 11 a.m. to 6p.m.

The Eastem State Penitentiary in Philadelphia,once home to Al Capone, has opened its doors for thrill seekers to enter at their own risk. The prisoners who once died there are back and waiting just for you. Watch out as you turn the corner and

Explore Cabrini culture with open mind

At the dance this past Saturday, it was easy to notice segregation between different ethnicities in the crowd. The lines drawn between races could be from the fear of the way white people dance, but we think rt's more than that.

Cabrini is known as a suitcase school. Students finish classes for the week and hightail it home, not returning until Sunday, when it is time to go to work again. By leaving, deep social interaction with different cultures is more difficult to achieve. While the level of Cabrini's academic integrity is rising as the college flourishes, the community's understanding of itself seems to be at a standstill. It is logical that we associate with whom we share the same views, but what fun is that?

Challenging each other to step beyond the comfort zones will open the lives of students to worlds and places and ideas that before may have been unfathomable.

The college is known for promoting the education of the heart, community service and the understanding of different cul• tures. The administration, faculty and staff do a fine job of carrying this out, but the students seem to let it stop there. Although small, Cabrini brings together a dynamic variety of students from different cultures and areas. The amount of knowledge and ideas brou9ht to this campus by the students and their life experiences is overwhelming. To gain this widespread knowledge, all we, as students at Cabrini and eternal students of life, have to do is talk.

Of course we are in college to get a book education, but we are also here to get a social and cultural education. If you don't engage in the exploration of ideas that are not your own, ideas that would broaden your worldview, then you will be missing the cultural education that will prepare you for life once you step off this pretty hill in Radnor. You can read about different cultures in books, but without experiencing it you will never fully understand.

At Cabrini, there is more to learn than what is taught between the walls of Founder's Hall. Go beyond what you know, and bring a friend with you.

Reader responds to Christian mission

As the professor who wrote the letter to the editor that left Joshua Dzielak, "saddened and disheartened," I feel a need to respond to his concerns.

Let me start by thanking him for stating publicly what I could not say for a variety of reasons: "If she had received that love and respect previously, maybe she wouldn't have been pushed to act as she did. If we're wondering what our community could have done for her, maybe this is where we should have started." I could not agree more with Dzielak. One of my goals in writing the letter was to have someone from within the student body call on the Cabrini family to search their own hearts for the love we should have shared with her.

If my freshmen are any indication, there is a real need for such a public statement: in each of my classes, students brought up her attempt and struggled in the absence of any meaningful facts to try and understand what could have driven her to jump, what elements within the Cabrini family may have encouraged that choice, what we as a family could have done to help prevent this, and what we should do in the future. Unfortunately, nobody officially wanted to talk about these problems, either in a Christian or merely moral way. So I thank Dzielak for being the one person willing to do that. While 1 disagree with most of what he said, the campus needed to be reminded that the fundamental need we all share as a family is for love and respect.

Having said that, the religious issues he raises leave me deeply concerned. The logic of his position hinges on the following: that Cabrini is a family (a belief I share), that as a family, we are : char'gecl,"Utb,a .specific•njissi9q

based in Christian traditions (a belief I also share), that chief among these traditions is the command to love one another (a point with which I could not agree more), and that this Christian love means we should keep silent about the personal problems we see our family members experiencing to spare them embarrassment (an idea that I find antithetical to my understanding of Christ's love). My question is this: why is silence tantamount to "love and respect" in his vision of a truly Christian response?

As a non-Catholic raised in the Christian tradition, I chose to become a member of the Cabrini family because it roots itself in Christian activism. The "education of the heart" encapsulates this idea quite nicely: to show Christ's love, we must learn to take action. To take action, we must identify where action is needed. To identify where action is needed, we must talk about difficult issues. These issues cannot exclude the problems faced within the Cabrini family. If we willfully ignore them out of a misguided sense of propriety, I would suggest that we are letting the appearance of respect smother the very love Christ calls us to show one another. By writing my letter, I feel I was showing my love for her and for the entire Cabrini campus because we desperately need to talk about the difficult problems many members of our community endure daily because of their own personal failings or the pressure exerted by others.

Dzielak's concept of how we show love towards troubled family members disturbs me deeply. It reminds me of families that willfully allow alcoholic uncles to continue their destructive behavior without so much as a comment ' ip7o~,r to 'spa'ie'hliu.(and.tlJeni)

embarrassment. We see this kind of "love" when a family pretends that the bruises on the face of a child or a spouse are from an accident rather than abuse because we don't wish to embarrass the victim or the perpetrator. We even see this in the Church itself when, to spare both the institution and the individual clergymen embarrassment (and legal liability), it quietly denies that sexual molestation occurs, often citing the need to protect the privacy of the child as a reason to deny anything ever happened. These kinds of collective denial are not Christ's love. I would go so far as to suggest that this kind of silence breeds only further pain.

As a child, I admired the way Jesus rejected the calls from his own followers to ignore the unpleasant problems within their society, such as leprosy, prostitution, poverty, and difficult political questions. My Jesus asked his followers to acknowledge and embrace these difficulties in order to help relieve suffering and to make the community stronger. That, to me, is the nature of Christ's Jove. According to John, Christ said, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). We cannot find the truth in silence, ancf'without acknowledging the truth, we cannot take the action that Christ's love compels us to take.

I urge the Cabrini family to ask themselves why at a school that prides itself on its outreach towards others we are afraid to talk openly about painful issues at home. Silence does not equal love, nor does it lead to action. Why do we so desperately cling to this view?

Plagiarism: laziness or not?

RyanMulloy arguesthat plagiarismtakestime and effort and is not for the lazy student,while LeannePantonearguesthat plagiarismisfor the lazy mind.

RYAN MULLOY A&EEDITOR

To simply say that plagiarism is for the lazy is by far the laziest excuse of them all. Plagiarism may be the crime of the lazy student, but trust me it is not exclusive to a lazy individual. It is not that cut and dry. Everyone would love an answer for plagiarism, but to simply say,_"Ohwell it's got to be laziness" is just sad.

I am not every person on campus. I follow my own schedule and it's hard enough. But imagine someone who has a lot on his or her plate. This person is a fictional female student taking 18 credits, working an internship and commuting because of family situations. School and life in general can get hectic for anyone and before she knows it, she has papers due and not enough time to do them. We've all been there.

With no time to hit the library, she takes information from the Internet, puts it in her paper and runs off to do a million other things. Is that lazy? No. She's a student tryi.'lg to get one thing done so she has time to deal with the rest of her workload.

Take for example a guy who has to do a paper and cite his work. He needs two Internet, two resource and two journal pieces, ~t he's run his limit. The paper is complete but not good enough, so the guy steal something to carry the paper, and he ends up plagiarizing one line. When he gets busted, is it because he is lazy? Of course not. He wants to be the best at what he does.

There are other cases to worry about. When students arrive at Cabrini, they take English IOI and basically learn that they '•ave no idea how to cite a paper. In some cases, an incorrect cite is considered • plagiarism. What doesn't help is that students need to get things like cites and footnotes down

in about three papers in English IO1, then they better know it for the rest of their Jives. Sometimes people actually need to be taught these things, because reading something is just not the same. My counterpart is well aware of my argument here, and I stand by it. To some students, college is a game. Hell, life is a game. What did Jesse Ventura used to say? "Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat." College is essentially a last chance for a lot of people. They have something to prove because, like I said, the real world is about four steps away from our door. If you still don't have it down, you're going to get frustrated.

Students want to win the game with all they have, and unfortunately, some think that cheating it the only way they can do it. They're not lazy, they just don't know any better. If this is your last chance to shine and make an impression so you can land a job that gets you somewhere, aren't you going to do whatever is necessary to be the best?

People who cheat like this aren't always lazy. Lazy people plagiarize all of the time. But it is just plain ignorant or stubborn to say that plagiarism is exclusive to lazy students.

LEANNE PANTONE NEWS EDITOR

One word says it all: LAZY. People who plagiarize or cheat are just plain lazy.

Sure, finding someone else's words to replace yours from the Internet does take time and effort, and I have heard that sometimes plagiarizing takes more time than actual1y doing the work for oneself. However, if one does actually take all that extra, wasted time into cheating, then he or she neglects to use his or her brain. This person is LAZY.

Using your brain does take perhaps some extra time and effort; it is much like exercising, using your muscles to work harder than they normally would. The payoff, however, is greater in the end. Using your muscles to exercise makes one feel good, refreshed and energized. Using your brain to come up with original, creative and/or innovative ideas makes one feel satisfied, intelligent and productive.

There are other ways of cheating or plagiarizing than just passing off someone else's idea for y o u r own.

Some s tu-

dents do not know how to cite sources, thus causing them to appear to be a cheater/plagiarizer.

I believe plagiarism as a result of something like this is lazy as well. We are all adults and know how to read. There are books for citing sources in almost every type of style: MLA, APA, AP, etc. These styles are also available for FREE on the Internet.

Failure to look up these styles and turn in a paper with the correct citations on it is LAZY. It does not take a lot of time to put a little extra effort into doing this, which leaves no excuse if this is not done properly.

My counter point will argue that, for some, college is like a game. In a game, some will do anything that they can to win. Whether that means cheating to win, it is all up to the player. That would then mean that cheating or plagiarism is not a result of being lazy, it is simply a survival mechanism.

To this I would say that cheating to win a game could possibly be a result of being lazy; taking the easy way out and not having to work, really work, for that win. The easier and less painful or LAZY way to win is simply to cheat.

Cheating in a game situation also has its repercussions. Take Pete Rose for example; he cheated by throwing games to win some bets. The result: he is not allowed to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. All because he was lazy and did not want to work for the extra money that he was winmng.

Cheating in school should also be punished appropriately and uniformly. Since we • complain about wanting to be taken seriously and be a part of the real world, it is about time that we start stepping up and acting the way we want to be treated. That is by working for what we get. honestly and fairly.

Volleyball plays as one despite loss

RICHARD MAGDA EDITORIN CHlEF

After losing the first two matches against Neumann last Thursday, the Lady Cavs won a close third match but lost the crucial fourth match, leading to a 3-1 defeat. The conference loss brings the Lady Cavs' record to 7-12 overall and 2-6 in the PennsylvaniaAthletic Conference.

The Lady Cavs entered the game confident, ready to win.

"We were all so psyched," freshman outside hitter, Katie Kapovic said. "At dinner we were anxious and ready to play. We came out strong and confident in the first game." Although the first match was heated by the fiery competitiveness of both teams, Neumann won 30-26.

"Even though we lost the first match, we were playing well together and our spirits were still up," Kapovic said.

Momentum shifted back and forth in the second match with the teams trading points and rallies.

Tied 9-9, with junior outside hitter Kristin Johnson serving for the Lady Cavs, Neumann won the point putting them ahead 10-9.

second and winning goal of the game.

Cabrini battled back to take the lead 15-13 at mid match. From there, the Lady Cavs continued to win points, eventually building a 22-20 lead. But from that point, it was all Neumann as they rallied to a 30-24 second match victory.

After the two early losses in the best-of-five contest, the Lady Cavs faced the do-or-die third match. With the pressure on, Cabrini led Neumann 18-14 as sophomore outside hitter, Kerry Coleman, came to serve. The team stepped up behind Coleman's serves, winning five unanswered points for Cabrini.

That lead would prove to be enough for Cabrini to win the third match, forcing the 2-1 game into the fourth match.

"We were backing up our server to get back in the game and we did. We ended up winning that one," Johnson said. "We went into the fourth game confident, pumped and ready to play. We went out there strong, but we knew it would be tough to come back from a 2-1 deficit."

The Lady Cavs came out hot in the fourth match, building an early 7-2 lead. However, Neumann came back to take the lead 11-8,

forcing Cabrini to take a time out. Coming out of the break, Neumann maintained the lead, but the Lady Cavs never let them get more than three points ahead, cutting the lead to one at one point. But after a second time out the score was 14-20 in Neumann's favor. Although Cabrini battled to within five points late in the match, 21-26, Neumann held on for the match win, giving them the game as well.

"We came out hard in the fourth match after winning the third, but by mid game they had the lead and we had to play catch up," Johnson said. "I really thought we were going to do it. We kept it close, but it was too late in the match for us to make up the points when they already had the lead."

Kapovic led the Lady Cavs with 17 kills in the game. "My hitting was on. We got good sets to the outside and good sets make it easy to pound the ball," she said.

Brooke McGinn, junior outside hitter, said, "It's hard when the team plays as one the entire game and then you come out with a loss. It's disappointing."

Field hockey beats RosemOnt

AMANDA L. SNOW STAFFWRITER

The field hockey team charged into a tight game against Rosemont on Tuesday, Oct. 15. '{hey had a muddy field underfoot and gray skies overhead but that did not stop them from winning.

The first half started out with a grizzly battle to score the first goal. With a strong Lady Cavs defense, Rosemont was able to get one shot on goal throughout the entire game. Backed by the solid defense, Cabrini won 2-0.

According to junior Steph Heinz, the reason why Cabrini had such a hard time scoring the first half was because Rosemont was forced to play strong defense because of a lack of players.

"They only had 10 players on their team, which allowed them little room for substitution to a lost player," Heinz said. "That is why they played such a strong defense. At the same time there was no one

from that team trying to score a goal on our side, which gave us the advantage to score."

Head coach Jackie Neary said she believes this year's team is doing an excellent job. "They have

"Rosemont fought long and hard for what they had, and I think our team did the best they could to come down to their level and work with them," she said.

In the second half, Cabrini finally scored the two goals and defeated Rosemont.

Megan Chipman, senior and captain, took a shot on goal and junior Annmarie Smith, left wing, and junior Kerri Devaney, forward, both had a stick on the ball, giving it that last shove into the goal.

Stephanie Heinz Junior turned the season around 100 percent," she said.

Neary said she would not call that one of the best games to base the skills of the Lady Cavs on because of the unbalanced teams, but they did what had to be done.

Junior Maureen McQuade scored the second and final goal to give Cabrini a comfortable lead.

"Everyone on the team got to play so our girls won this game as a whole," Hienz said. "That is what I like about our coach. She tries to give everyone the chance to play. No one gets left sitting on the bench."

The squad has had a very strong season, headed by their coach Reggie Day, and hope to continue with their success. It has been a team effort and the players plan on keeping it this way. The team's wins have been coming from both singles competition and doubles. These women are being noticed by more than just those at Cabrini and whom they compete against Dan Cook, an ex-high school tennis' player, said, "These girls are all pretty good.

Everyone will just have to wait patiently and see what the outcome is.

Lineup c;itange proves positive for Cavalier win Take the Fast Track to Physical Therapy

RYAN NORRIS STAFF WRITER

The Cabrini men's soccer team defeated Holy Family in a non-conference game, bringing its record to 3-8 overall and 1-4 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference.

In the first half, Sean Dugan, a sophomore, led the team by scoring the first three goals, all in the first half.

"We controlled the game in the first minute of the first half and we switched the lineup around, which was one of the most significant parts of the game," Dugan said. "Ball control was a lot better and everyone did their job."

Although the win will not affect PAC standings, "Holy Family is one of our city rivals," Dugan said. "It turned on the juices."

With the juices flowing, the Cavs were ready for battle from the start. "We put a lot of pressure on the team in the first l 0 to 15 minutes of the game and we gained confidence," sophomore Anthony Pepe said. "We had high confidence, and we built on that from the beginning of the game."

Ten seconds into the second half, Pepe scored the fourth and final goal of the game to make it 4-0. "We got inside 18 and put it in real quick and real slick," Pepe said.

The Cavs' defense was like a wall, and they held Holy Family back for the rest of the game.

Vincent Sofia, a freshman, said the most significant part of the game was getting the lead. ''Most of the games this year we have not had the lead. We had the lead against Widener but ended up losing. This is the first time we put away a team by a significant margin." Sofia said that they have improved in condition and they have "more endurance." The main reason they won is because "they had to," Sofia said. "We were 2-8, and we want to go undefeated for the rest of the seasQA."

Dan McMonagle, a freshman, agreed with Dugan that the lineup change was a significant change for the team. "They made the change of Pepe from sweeper to midfield. We came right out and took the lead. The main reason we won is because we came together as a team and everyone worked hard."
