Students in awe after hit and run incident

Tires squealed on Residential Boulevard at 2:53 a.m. Saturday Sept. 6 as a black Jeep Cherokee sped from the scene of an apparent hit and run. The speeding vehicle hit seniors Michael Rennie, a liberal arts major, and Sean Gracey, a history major, after a verbal altercation caused the drivers to flee.

"Everything was fine, everything was okay, and then somebody said something in the crowd," Rennie said.

He went on to say that he and a few of his friends attempted to talk to the three people in the car.

"Apparently there were a few words exchanged, and he [the driver) tried to run somebody down," Charlie Schaffner, the director of public safety, said.

According to the Radnor incident report, Rennie heard the occupants of the three vehicles involved say, "Let's fight."

"Then I proceeded to go out into the street and

I was talking to my friend," Rennie said. "Someone had said something to that kid [in the car) about the police coming. Then that kid sped off towards us in the street. He kind of slowed down but then he accelerated again."

Bystanders watched as Rennie was hit by the S.U.V.,injuring his left knee and running over his left foot. Gracey incurred an injury to his right arm. Neither victim accepted medical treatment, according to the police incident report.

Eddie Johns, a Villanova University student, recalls a group of 15 to 20 Cabrini students surrounding the car, throwing beer bottles and being generally belligerent.

The black Jeep pulled away,hitting Rennie and Gracey in the process. The driver then turned around in the apartment parking lot, then sped off down Residential Boulevard toward New Residence Hall.

Beer bottles and debris was hurled at the car as it drove away. Johns' car, a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse, incurred a fist-sized dent to the passenger side rear wheel well.

"I saw the S.U.V.speed off at about 60 miles per hour down Residential Boulevard," Matt

Junior Ryan Norris touches the sling on his right arm gingerly with his mangled left hand. He slips the sling off and reveals the scrapes and bruises that cover his skin.

"The hospital told me that my muscles are very bruised," Norris, an English/communications major, said.

"I was using my arm to get away while

he was standing on it. He just kept stomping on it."

Norris, a resident assistant in Xavier Hall and the president of the junior class, was on a leisurely stroll at dusk on Sunday evening, Sept. 7, when he was mugged minutes from Cabrini's Eagle

McCrea, sophomore computer science major. said. "It caught air going over the speed bumps."

Public Safety and Radnor Police arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.

"One of my people just happened to be going by, and he saw the whole thing," Schaffner said.

"Cabrini's public safety was there the whole time," Johns said, "and they did nothing."

The Public Safety officer "stopped because there were so many people in the road," Schaffuer said.

Schaffner went on to speculate that the jeep began to back up when the driver saw the Public Safety Jeep. "He may have panicked because he thought we were there to stop in and then the jeep took off. My guy couldn't get out of there because there were so many people there."

"I thought Public Safety and Radnor police did everything they could while they were here. I don't know how much further they're going to go in it. As far as I'm concerned with how they handled it, l think they handled it very well," Rennie said.

SGA to hold elections; freshmen and execs

Most colleges, on any given Thursday night, have seen itS share of drunken fools. But the past two Thursdays have been ridiculous at Cabrini, and that can be attributed to a handful of people who do not know how to control their alcohol.

On Thursday, Aug. 29, students were cited for drugs, fights and alcohol poisoning on campus. A public safety officer was sent to the hospital after trying to get in the middle of the fight and he now wears a sling on his arm.

On Thursday, Sept. 4, the CAC was cleared out because of outof-control students on the third floor. Public Safety repeatedly asked students not to carry their drinks in the hallway, yet students continued to do so in, right in front of Public Safety and the RAs on duty.

This outright disrespectfulness is unacceptable. Those few reckless and irresponsible students are ruining it for the other students who want to have a good time and who do it responsibly.

While the majority of blame should be put on the careless student, the resident's of the houses and the CAC should also share a small part of the blame. These resident's are the ones who signed their guest in and let underage, uncontrolled freshmen in. The resident's should keep an eye on who enters into their room or apartment-if it's someone you don't know, don't let them in, it's as simple as that.

While many students say that the R,.Asand Public Safety are too harsh, the Loguitur staff takes a different standpoint. We feel that RAs and Public Safety go on rounds to keep everything under control, but when students fight and stumble around drunk in the hallways, RAs and Public Safety cannot and should not look the other way. This is not them being control freaks, it is them doing their jobs, and students should respect that.

We are all adults now. Just because we have entered college and have more freedom, does not mean we can abuse that freedom. Grow up and start having fun in responsible ways, like adults are supposed to do.

As the night grew darker the student ideas grew greater as they discussed many new prevalent ideas with the President Antoinette Iadarola.

On Friday, Sept. 5th student leaders attended a barbeque at ladarola's house where they discussed ideas that could change Cabrini College. The president was very eager to chat about the upcoming year and what changes have been made and noticed in the few weeks that students have been back.

Students that were invited to this occasion included the executive members of the Campus Activities Programming Board, executive board members and class presidents of the

Student Government Association, members of the Residents Hall Association, and captains of the fall athletic teams. Together, members of these organizations came up with ideas that would improve the school.

These ideas incorporated more school spirit by introducing the concept of a fan bus for athletic away games and pep rallies. Other things that were discussed were the freshmen matriculation ceremony, by having the seniors welcome the freshmen in years to come. And also about the SOLD program that would be new to the campus.

Many students were eager to participate in the conversation with the president and believe by having many different organizations working together they can achieve great things.

"It was great to get together with

all the unique student leaders. We were all able to collaborate together as a team to solve problems that each of us individually had and come up with new ideas to make the school better," Sarah Madden, SGA vice president of administration, said.

Not only could the organizations come up with ways to solve the current problems on campus, but they also gave their input about new and creative ways to make Cabrini a more likeable place for the current and prospective students.

Cap Board Vice President, Craig Vagell, said "it is a great idea for all organizations to work together, it builds communication on campus and creates a closer relationship with different people on campus."

Junior roughed-upon walk'

STUDENT, page 1

The thug left him with his right arm dangling in a sling and his left hand distorted where the rocks on the macadam were jutting into his skin as the mugger twisted his boots onto Norris' hand. The robber also took Norris' debit card.

The mugging happened at about 9: 15 p.m. between the bridge on Walnut Street and the stop sign on Paul Street, a few feet away from the park that is located right next to Eastern.

"I left Cabrini's campus at 8:00 p.m. to take a walk;' Norris said. "I left alone, but it wasn't the first time I walked alone. It was the first nice night in a long time, so I wanted to take a walk."

Norris stopped at the WaWa on Lancaster Avenue to get a drink and headed back to Cabrini. He was walking with his head do,vn when he heard footsteps coming towards him. He looked up and saw a man on the same side of the road as him, heading his way.

"I said 'how's it going' and he didn't say anything," Norris said. "He then used his leg and tripped me so I would fall forward."

Norris caught himself on the palms of his hands as he fell face-first to the pavement. The mugger pushed him so he was flat on his stomach and put all his weight on Norris' right arm, stomping on it with his boots. Norris tried to wiggle his arm from under the mugger's boot. but the mugger kept stomping on his arm.

"I can remember very vividly the Timberland emblem on his boot," Norris said. "His boots were very clean and Timberland still sticks out in my mind."

The mugger said to Norris "give

me your money" to which Norris replied that he had none. The mugger then asked Norris again to "give me all your money" to which Norris replied 'I swear I have no money on me.'

After the mugger asked him for money a second time, Norris tried to use his left hand to somehow free himself, but the mugger used his other foot to step on Norris' hand, grinding it into the ground.

"My hand looked like it was on a grill," Norris said. "I told him to take my wallet. He let my hand go so I could reach for my wallet and I threw it in his direction."

While still pinning Norris' right arm down with his boots, the mugger thumbed through Norris' wallet, emerging with only a debit card in hand. He threw the wallet onto Norris' back and fled towards Valley Forge Military Academy.

"I felt like a year went by," Norris said. "It was only like five minutes."

Norris walked back to Cabrini and decided to stop at Public Safety because it was closer than his room in Xavier Hall. Norris encountered a few problems as he tried to call for help.

"I used the emergency phone and no one answered the first time I called," Norris said. "Again. it felt like so much time had gone by, but I pushed again and finally someone answered. I said 'it's Ryan Norris at Public Safety and I need someone immediately.•,,

Norris hung up and saw a swarm of public safety officers coming to his aid. One public safety officer immediately called the Radnor Police and another one gave him an antiseptic hand wipe for the wounds on his hand.

"It burned so bad," Norris said. "It was so painful, but the pain in my right arm balanced the burning in my hand. I had to just sit there and wait

for the pain to settle. There was nothing I could do."

The Radnor cops showed up and had Norris write down a statement of what had happened to him. Norris, who writes with his right hand, said it hurt very much trying to write the statement. After writing the statement, he called to have his card cancelled. For some reason, Norris was not able to cancel his card at that ti me, so he had to wait until the next morning to close his account.

On Monday morning, Sept. 8, Norris had his arm checked out at

Bryn Mawr Hospital and returned to his room at 3:00 p.m. He checked his messages on his voice mail and had a message from a local detective saying that he wanted to come by to talk to Norris. Norris agreed and met the officer outside within minutes.

He was asked to look through a pile of headshots to see if he could identify the thug. One in particular stood out to him and he told the officer which one it was. Norris has not heard anything since Monday afternoon.

"I will never walk alone at night

outside of campus." Norris said. "I thought the area, being Radnor and all, was safe. But, I will never walk alone at night, which is the best advice I can give."

To cancel a Visa/debit card, call 1-800-VISA-911

Nonverbal communication, crucial to interview success

ANTONIO MASONE Sports Editor Masoneant@cabrini.edu

Finding a decent job after college requires not only a good resume, but proper interview etiquette as well. Throughout an interview, an employer will ask the potential employee questions regarding the position being applied for, but things such as posture and attire can be equally important.

"It is important to have the number of the hiring manager, because if by chance you are running late, call the office and give an exact time of when you will arrive." Francis said.

It is important to wear a clean suit with a pressed shirt to the interview. According to Francis, even if the job is one where jeans and flip-flops are regular attire. "A suit will prove that you respect the job that needs to be done."

"Mannerism is very important. Sit up strait and lean a little forward, this will show that you are being attentive," Francis said.

''Nonverbally, you are the message, before you say a word the employer will sized you up in less than 30 seconds;' Francis said. Making it to the interview early is also important. According to English and communications professor Dawn Francis, it is important to plan the trip to the interview ahead of time. Take the number of the hiring manager and a road map to the interview.

"I would definitely do it again. At first I was nervous, but after being there a little while, I warmed up and enjoyed it," Caitrin Watson, junior, said.

Also, Laver wants to make it clear that anyone is welcome to participate in the program and says that students that do community outreach wind up taking a one credit course called Leadership of the Heart.

"It is a part of the education that students cannot receive while taking courses at Cabrini. It enriches the soul and serves as an emotional and spiritual enlightening," Laver said.

This past Saturday, Laver and a few Cabrini students went to the St. Francis Inn soup kitchen in Kensington, PA. They volunteered their services from I I a.m. until about 1:30 pm.

With Outreach Saturdays, Laver hopes to focus on reaching out to kids, hunger, literacy rates, and immigrants. She thinks that they are a big influence on what Cabrini stands for.

The California election recall of Governor Gray Davis has put the citizens of the Golden state in an uproar. Davis' ordered a recount of those running for office as governor after his Thursday, Aug. 14 realization that there are 135 candidates on the ballot. This would create a 39-day delay in finding the victor of the race. The last time so many candidates were listed

Davis' credibility and ground for re-election is shaky with the varied backgrounds of his more appealing republican and democratic counterparts. Supporters of Davis' expulsion pinpoint his shortcomings on his inability to administer and report honestly what the correct amount of the state's budget was.

The estimated cost of the special election will cost between $42 million and $55 million.

France and Germany refused a draft proposed by the U.S. Thursday, Sept. 4. The plan set forth in the U.S. draft included the use of mufti-national troops in post-war Iraq with the united States in charge. Gerhard Schroeder, the German chancellor, and Jacques Chirac, the French president, suggested that the United Nations have more input in the conduct of post-war Iraq. They went on to say that they are not averse to a compromise.

The recall election will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Report says a third of children born out of wedlock

JANA FAGOTTI Managing Editor Jaf722@cabrini.edu

The National Marriage Project at Rutgers University released an annual report outlining the fact th.at couples no longer need to be married to start a family. Some couples have no inten-

tions of marrying at all and, in turn, one in three children in the United States are born out of wedlock.

According to the project "marriage is undergoing legal, social, and cultural changes, and many of these changes are shifting its meaning and purpose away from children and toward adults."

''About a third of all children and more than two-thirds of AfricanAmerican children are born out of wedlock."

Since 1960, a 850 percent increase has taken place in number of cohabitating couples th.at live with children according to the Project.

It's like an epidemic. Ever since the late '90s, cell phone users have been popping up everywhere. When getting out of class, students can be seen walking around campus either talking to someone they're with or talking on their cell phone. It's something that is seen as so normal and natural now. These people have one thing they don't need to worry about: a cell phone bill.

Cingular, has many plans for users. One plan says that they'll give a user 600 anytime minutes plus HEATHER011..Au..A/PHOTOEDrTOR

Various cell phone plans come with the choice of cell phones. Be sure you get the most minutes for your money.

rollover (minutes unused that go into the next month) for $50 a month. This includes long distance and 5000 weekend minutes. In small print they let the user know that other charges may apply. Not includ-

ed in the advertisement is that the user who chooses this plan is required to use a specific phone, either a Nokia 6340i or a Sony Ericsson T62u. Night minutes start at 9 p.m. and end at 7 a.m. the next day. If the user plans on using text messaging than they are given the option of an unlimited three month plan, but will start being charge $. l 0 per text message after those three months. Also, the user is locked into a two-year agreement, even if they are not satisfied.

T-Mobile targets mostly teenagers and college students The 600 anytime minute plan for TMobile is somewhat different, and arguably a better deal than Cingular's. T-Mobile's 600 minute plan was advertised constantly on television and is one of the most popular plans used. For $50 a month you get 600 anytime minutes, free nights and weekends and free long distance. Instead of paying $.10 per text message, the user can choose a fairly affordable alternative: 500 text messages per month for only $2.99. Also, the user can choose whichever phone they desire.

Mostly every cell phone plan is the same when it comes to their rates. There are subtle differences in their plans so as not to copy off their competition. After researching different cell phone plans, compare them and decide which is the most affordable. Then it's time to talk and text message for as much as they will allow!

Anyone who was on campus on Saturday, Sept.6, heard the music of bands 33 West and Marlon Spike coming from the commons. Don't worry. We didn't just have random bands coming and playing on the campus. It was the noise of this year's Fall Fest. CAP board member sophomore Becca Simeone chaired the event in part with assistant director of student activities, Amy Hecht.

The day started for the students at 2 p.m. but the planning for the event started the first week of school for CAP board members. Students were able to enjoy the beautiful weather outside with a variety of activities to unleash some of that back to school stress.

Sponsors included Cabrini College's radio station, WYBF The Burn and Rita's Water lee. Simeone believes that this fall fest was better then it has been in previous years, but still feels the challenge of trying to get students to come out to more events on the weekend. "It was hard because a lot of people go home for a weekend. We are still trying to get out of the suitcase college idea here at Cabrini," Simeone said.

All in all, the event was another CAP board success and from the looks of the pudding covered wrestlers, even though their clothes went from their original shades to that of a deep brown, smiles were shared all around the commons.

There is no need to look far, because you will be able to find the owner "Big Dave" of the Boardy Barn wearing worn out overalls, snapping shots of his party crazed customers and then transferring them onto the web. The entire Barn consists of a bar inside, outside, and under a tent.

3-D Movie comes to Cabrini

ROSIE GONZALEZ NEWS EDITOR GONZALEZROS@CABRINI.EDU

Cinemation, a 3-D movie with virtual effects, hit campus on Friday with shows running from 3-9 p.m. It is the only mobile 3-D theatre powered by generators in the country that travels and tours the entire nation.

"They are only five minute shows that the students can catch inbetween classes, and it's free, so they don't have to worry about a thing," Katrina Cottrell, entertainment technician, said.

Produced by Kramer Entertainment, the company is based in Grand Rapids, MI. The screen, purchased from Disney, is intended to give off a more realistic experience.

If it rains in the movie, mist will be sprayed. When something whizzes by a person, there is air blown on the neck and there are lit-

tie whippers that whip your legs as a form of a scare tactic.

"I thought it was pretty neat how the water sprayed all over me. It felt real; as ifl were there," Jess Watson, freshman, said.

Cottrell, who travels with another technician, is used to putting on shows almost once a day and is used to traveling all across the country due to her old truck driving days.

"I am used to this kind of work, except that now I have to take a month's worth of clothes to any place I go. And you know a girl needs everything. But it's fun for someone who really has no responsibility," Cottrell said.

To put on the shows, it costs anywhere from $4000 - $7000 to rent Cinemation for the day.

"I thought it was worth it and I'd definitely go see it again," Tony Yuschak, sophomore, said.

After just one-visit, customers know not to wear their Sunday best.

No one leaves the Boardy Barn as neatly as they entered. Worn teeshirts and old jeans you would only think about wearing while painting your house might be the most appropriate attire, because no one escapes the Boardy Barn with out someone else's happy hour drink down their back. If you miss the Boady Barn on Sunday, then any regular customer knows not to miss the famous 5:30 p.m. sing along to "American Pie." If you cannot sing along with the rest of the beer infested customers, then join them on the internet as they broadcast live the entire bar's contribution to "American Pie."

Electoral carnival of celebrities

ANTONIO MASONE SPORTS EDITOR MASONEANT@CABRINI.EDU

Many onlookers have compared the California recall race to an electoral carnival, with celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Larry Flint, and Gary Coleman running in the Tuesday, Oct. 7 election.

Although Schwarzenegger is receiving a good deal of support, women's groups have protested against the republican candidate. Americans, especially Californians, are worried what is in store for the states future. "Coming from the East Coast, we're looking at California saying 'What's going on?"' Dina Haskal said to The Daily Southtown on Friday, Aug 8. "We are scratching our heads."

Schwarzenegger has been under fire recently for an entertainment video filmed by Playboy in 1983.

According to Frank Marchesini,

spokesman for Playboy Entertainment Group, the "video is a cheesy version of the 'Girls Gone Wild' videos.

One week after the video surfaced, Schwarzenegger was questioned about 1977 interview for a magazine where he talked about his involvement in group sex and drug use.

Senior elementary education major Jessica Gentile said, "I don't think his past matters, he is married and has children now. He seems very dedicated and determined to do the job and be successful at it."

Although women's rights activists have Schwarzenegger in the hot seat, some groups are happy with the candidate and his campaign.

Schwarzenegger impressed environmentalists recently when he chose to redesign his signature Hummer into a hydrogen-burning vehicle.

Senior history major Sean Gracey said, "I believe that he stands for the people and not about big money. He does not care about winning over big business in order to win his campaign."

TEXT MESSAGES

Text messages. Instant messages. Also known as masks and easy outleL<; for the admirer. Whether you talk to him or her everyday or you have never talked at all in person, just know that technology has invented an easy way for people to communicate indirectly. IT IS NOT A GOOD THING. Text messages are only a good idea when the person sending the sweetness can also deliver the message in person. Otherwise, its all a facade. Instant messages are not much better. It is easy access to a break-up or to tell that distant admirer youre lusting for them. But, these messages only aid in the false impressions people are given each day. This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "If the person cant say it to your face, they should not say it at all."

YOU COME FIRST

You're on the dance floor in this one exquisite moment. Your eyes are closed. Your fingertips rest gently on your partner. You can hear the music but even more, you can feel it pulsating through every vein in your body. You have no consciousness of where you are except in that one moment, and then you take one swift, easy breath in and you've fallen.

Life is part amazing and part unpredictably funny. Why is it that when you least expect it something wonderful comes along and once youve fallen. A moment may seem so perfect and flawless, yet its only what you make it. Reality is rugged. Reason is questionable. Remembering is a given. Redeeming is possible. Refinery is temporary. Reluctance is reasonable but rising above everything is the only way to really

Pain equals PA reality---Freeze time for Mac user extended past

SHAWNRICE STAFFWRITER SMR.723@ CABRINI.EDU

The stomach pain I had throughout the night was so excruciating that I was wiable to sleep. Going through the expected routine of taking antacids and seeing the food l ate earlier being regurgitated in the toilet I began to wonder if this pain was something more serious. At 3 a.m. I awoke my father and we proceeded to drive over to the emergency room.

After explaining over and over to many healthcare people what and where the pain was, I was seen by the doctor. The doctor took a sample of my blood so they could get it analyzed. The doctor advised me that I would need a MRI of my abdominal area. After further evaluation the doctors concluded that my appendix was about to burst.

Three months after the appendectomy I still havf great pain. Fortunately,it is not from the surgery, which was a complete success. Rather the medical bills continue to arrive from all sources. Our insurance carrier should pay for most of these bills but initially this was in doubt. The reason we pay insurance companies money is so in times of need they will reimburse the cost of our medical fees. The insurance companies are dropping the ball concerning the medical bills and these problems need to be addressed.

Through my own experience it seems they regularly fail to pay the neces-

sary amount and instead cause my parents wasted time in calling and fighting about the bill.

In the long run the insurance company will pay for most of the medical bill. Unfortwiately. looking at the amount of time my parents have taken calling and explaining the insurance company's role in the bill is quite annoying. As a person who has gone through several other operations and have seen this done to my parents over and over again, I can say the insurance companies continually fail to initially pay their necessary part. The service of the insurance company can be deemed irresponsible and at times wifair.

It becomes a frustrating time when the insurance company dictates how Jong a person receives medical coverage in a hospital. In past surgeries, I have been quickly shuffled out of the hospital rotation. These surgeries were for a bronchial cleft cyst and instead of allowing me to stay another day, the doctors suggested I go home with a tube connected to a drain. This would collect blood and any other substance that were to come from the area. Now for the appendectomy, I did everything in my power to demonstrate the necessary requirements to get discharged, but I ¥11more concerned about the people who don't have adequate coverage and receive quick treatment.

The hospital should not be an "assembly line" but rather each individual should receive personal care.

If there is a problem with people who receive coverage from an insurance company then we should all be worried about those people who do not

receive any help because they could become us.

The state needs to become more involved with these insurance companies. Malpractice suits are happening so often that almost all hospitals are charging for everything and at times it is the reason good doctors are leaving Pennsylvania. Insurance companies are affecting the practice of medicine and that is not right. I have heard doctors complain about the malpractice suits and widerstand their frustrations with lawyers and frivolous lawsuits while hearing lawyers blaming doctors who should be trying to oust the irresponsible practitioners.

The problem is too huge and needs to be expanded upon but from a former patient's view it is very upsetting that insurance companies do not put the interests of the patient first. The insurance companies who carry the liability costs of the doctors raise their premiums resulting in sometimes the inevitable. The inevitable being that the doctor will leave that state which Pennsylvania has seen time and time again. Why then aren't the insurance companies paying their fair share of our fees when they increase the cost of their coverage? There needs to be a solution and more awareness concerning this issue because when all the best doctors are gone we will be left with inferior medical help. If this distressing issue continues we as a whole should be fearful that the only "qualified" people left to operate on us are those who can claim they have seen all the episodes of ER.

The ITR department on campus is a valuable source to everyone. Sometimes they can be non resourceful at times, but everyone has their bad days. I understand about the new Worm virus that has been plaguing Windows based computers for the past week. So far the virus has not affected Macintosh computers. I know that since it's the beginning of the semester, everyone is trying to frantically connect to the Internet. We need something to keep us occupied arowid here. There's always some sort of Internet connection problem. Macintosh users are being left out in the cold though. Instructions were given to students at check in on how to use the Secure Network Setup to get their Internet to work. The instructions that were given out were only for Microsoft Windows. Usually there is another set of instructions for Mac users, but there was none. Not everyone on campus has a PC. The majority of English and communications majors and graphic designers thrive on Macintosh computers to get their work done. After I left messages with the ITR help desk, I decided to stop by their office. They told me that the steps given on the yellow sheet at check in should work. It didn't work so I had to have my roommate go online and look for Mac instructions. Low and behold there were instructions on there on how to connect to the Internet. We tested

J.L.ller.

It's not that I just want the Internet to check my e-mail and all, but most of my classes require emailing things back and forth. I can't do this without an Internet connection. The campus network is for both PC and Mac, but why are the PCs getting all the attention? I have been patient, but I just wish that they could find a more effective way for Mac users. It would make me a happier person and a lot of others as well. ITR is usually on top of things, but they seemed to have blanked on the instructions for Mac users this time around.

After trying all sorts of things, I decided that I needed to call them again. I left a few messages but nobody ever got back to me. At one point they scheduled with me a time where they would come to the room to fix my Mac. They never showed up. I understand that there are a lot of other students who had Internet problems too but I waited around for a no show.Then one day when I went to my morning class a fellow Mac user told me what I was supposed to do. I needed to use 1.2.3.4 in order to get on to the network so I could register my computer. What do you know? It actually worked. I'm just wondering why ITR couldn't just tell me that in the first place when I called on the phone. I understand that ITR is a great resource but they need to organize their ways better. I'm wondering how good it does look when I have to get my roommate to fix my computer because they couldn't. Mac computers need some tender loving care too! When I finally got on the Internet the phone rang. ·'Hi, this is ITR, do you still need us to them out, but that hasn't worked come fix your Internet?"

Bringing back PSAs, friends don't let friends drive drunk

KENDALL NEIL A&E EDITOR KMN722@ CABRINI.EDU

What happened to the saying, "friends don't let friends drive drunk?" Doesn't anyone care about that kind of stuff anymore? I know that it's something my friends and I take very seriously, maybe sometimes a little too seriously. However, it's always better to be safe than sorry. It's OK to have your fun, but not at the expense of other people.

As I'm sure many of you are aware, a student (who, rumor has it, does not attend Cabrini) took his car, slammed on the gas, aiming at students who happened to be standing on Residential Boulevard in between houses 6 and 7. I awoke to a phone call Saturday morning from a friend of mine to tell me he was hit by a car the night before. Not the kind of thing you expect to hear on a

Saturday morning. Thankfully, he wasn't hurt too badly, but I'm sorry; someone could have been killed. How ridiculous can one person be? Did this person expect to get a good laugh at the situation? We can all hope that this incident wasn't with the intent to hurt anyone, but truth remains that people were hurt. I reside in house 7 and walked outside Saturday morning to find dirt and rocks in the road and skid marks in the street. Come on now people. Grow up. Aiming at people with your car is sick, joking or not.

Please keep in mind that this is all my own personal opinion and account of what I heard the incident entailed. My only point in writing this is just to ask the readers to use their heads when drinking alcohol. We are all in college and are all expected to act like adults. Sure, it's fine to have fun every now and then. But let's hope that there's at least one person in a group who can stand up and take someone's keys away from them before something even more serious that took place on our presumably safe campus happens again.

Caf food bites

HEATHER DILALLA PHOTO EDITOR HCD722@ CABRINI.EDU

Let's face it, the cafeteria food is 'horrendous. I thought this year would be different, that somehow I would have adapted to the half cooked noodles and the dark brown chicken, but that has not been the case. I can honestly say that I am afraid of the caf food.

So far this year I have been to the caf one time. My experience was one that many have gone through since school began; long lines, not enough seats and food that is enough to make you sick. I am learning to accept the food offered here is never going to be

delicious. What I can't understand is why Cabrini will not allow students to cut back on meal plans or eliminate them all together. I currently live in house three where there is a kitchen with an oven and a microwave. For the past 3 weeks I have been using the kitchen so much that it is beginning to feel like my own. So here is my question, why should I pay Cabrini for food I am not eating and pay extra money for groceries? It feels like I am paying to go on an all expense paid trip and then ending up having to pay for food and drinks.

I know Cabrini thinks of most students as immature and irresponsible, but I think the students here would surprise them. I know that I personally have lived on my own for months at a time. Believe it or not, I was able to feed myself.

Staying sinall to -stay real at Cabrini

Not only is the food here barely editable, the times the caf are actually opened are not always good for students with scheduled classes. Very little students get up at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast. Based on my own personal experience, I would say more students would attend breakfast if it ended at 10:30 a.m. As for dinner, I do not know one person who eats dinner at 4:30 p.m. I don't want to take anything away from Wood Dining. I know they work very hard. I really just want to know why students do not have the choice as to whether or not they want to eat the caf food. Until I get an answer I will continue to pay a lot of money for food I will never eat. Speaking of food, I bear the microwave beeping; my lean cuisine dinner must be ready.

Cabrini College has been going through several changes lately. The S.E.T building in processes has altered the landscape as well as the attitude of Cabrini. Everyone is forced to be extremely patient; whether its waiting on line for lunch even longer than you're waiting it for, or driving around the one road in Cabrini to find a parking spot. Instead of the changes being advantages, we are all sacrificing a little. The construction on campus is taking away from some of the things that we used to take for granted. Maybe we should rethink if Cabrini is ready to trade what we

already felt at home with. We should not be ashamed of our school, and complain a lot about it. Granted there are always things that need improvement, and deserve to be complained about, but constant bashing needs to stop. Cabrini is a small school with a lot of potential, but not keeping it a small school will not be keeping it Cabrini at all. Imagine if on your drive back to campus you pulled into the King of Prussia driveway and you saw no trees in sight. Instead of the canopy of leafy green trees in a forest, there was nothing but cement buildings. That would change the whole meaning of that driveway to 'Cabriniland,,. At a small school if you make too many changes and keep growing, you will out of space, and money and ideas. So rethinking the plans for the future would be a benefit to everyone.

DSU downs Cab • • r1n1 3-1

The men's soccer team lost 3-1 to DeSales University on Saturday, Sept. 6. DeSales three goals were

scored by junior John Rennie during the non-league game which was played at Cabrini. Senior captain Jim Beck says he doesn't feel as though the Cavaliers have played like a team just yet.

"We don't communicate well with each other on the field and we haven't jelled as a team yet," Beck said. The Cavaliers out shot the Bulldogs 13-12, however it wasn't enough to capture the teams' first

victory of the season. According to Beck, the team lost a lot of seniors from last season and the team is young and somewhat inexperienced, however he doesn't blame the loss on the fact that it was the first home game of the season.

"We knew we could win and beat DeSales and I'm sure we were nervous. But five minutes into that game, that should go away. We need to grow as a team and learn to trust each other when we are out on the field during a game," Beck said.

Eastern University is in first

place overall in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference with a record of 2-0, however none of the games that have been played have been PAC games. The Cavaliers are in 8th place, also having not played any PAC games. "We need to hold on to our lead. We have scored first in every game and have lost," Beck said. The men's first Pennsylvania Athletic Conference game will be played on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 4 p.m. against Wesley at Cabrini.

Women'sTennis ready to take PAC by storm w HEALTH T C

HEATHER DILALLA PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR HCD722@CABRINl.EDU

Junior Patti Aylmer is a new addition to the women's tennis team for the 2003 seas.on. She is not the only new person joining the team as eight freshmen join her. She is an experienced tennis player because she played for the team her freshman year. Sophomore year she decided to give softball a shot, but shortly found out that her heart was with tennis.

"I really missed the girls and the game a lot. I feel as though tennis is apart of me. Going back out for the team was one of the best things I could have done," Aylmer said.

While away from the team Aylmer kept busy with the women's softball team. She and her team earned a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference title and third place in regionals. This education major also worked extremely hard in school and maintained a part time job at her family owned bakery.

It certainly felt good for her to get her tennis shoes on and the racket out for her first PAC tennis match of the season. The Lady Cav's shut out Alvernia College on Monday, Sept. 8 by a score of 9-0.

Aylmer is not one to brag about herself, instead she gives praise to her team. She explained how hard the team has worked so far this season and that a PAC title is certainly within reach.

Freshman Amy Leonard quickly agreed with Aylmer about the team's ability.

"So far this season, I think everyone has done really good. I am still new but I have really noticed the amount of talent on this team. I am looking forward to an awesome season," Leonard said.

The women's tennis team is currently 3-0 overall. Junior Jen Geller is leading the Lady Cavs at number one singles and playing her role as the team captain by always having a positive attitude, whether it be on or off the court. This young Lady Cav team is looking forward to a great season and so is coach Day.
