Family weekend is right around the comer giving the Cabrini College students, faculty, and administration the chance to share a small sampling of some of the delicacies that many have the chance to live amongst. This is achieved by having a wide variety of family-oriented activities, athletic events, interaction with faculty, staff, and administration, and a collaborative effort by all offices to represent who Cabrini College is and what Cabrini College has to offer.

Family Weekend, running October 3-5, 2003, begins late Friday afternoon with the Women's tennis match vs. Rosemont College and doesn't end until 5 p.m. on Sunday evening with a Blessing of the Animals. In between, it is a jam-packed weekend that will give people the feeling that Cabrini College is "Where the Magic Happens," the underlying theme masquerading behind the weekend. Director of Student Activities Jason Bozzone feels that this year's family weekend will exceed many of the expectations of family members and students. "I would say the following events will be a big hit and highly attended: 'Pirates of theCaribbean will be shown in the Dixon Centel' swimming pool, Fairmount Park Mansion Tours, carriage rides in a real horse and buggy, and the Pre~ident's Royal Reception followed by the Enchantment Evening of Diiiner and Dance," said Bozzone.

The dinner requires the purchase of a $35 ticket for adults and a $20 ticket for children under the age of 12.

The Nerney Field-house will be transformed into the "mystical realm of fairies, •magic, and happily ever

• after," including Cinderella's last year's Gav Fest.

• 3-dimensional Pumpkin Carriage along with three trotting horses, embellished in full-head dress and saddle will also will be present.

The evening includes dinner and dancing with a DJ making a soundtrack of the event with music to caterer the musical • interests of all ages.

"' "I think it is already a success because of the collaboration we have gained with the campus-wide committee that was established," said Bozzone. "The weekend of activities and events provides all ages to enjoy the magic Cabrini College has to offer."

This parents-only event is an opportunity to meet President Iadarola and learn more about the College. Cocktails and appetizers will be served.

My best friend always has 'two things' to say about everything. There are alwaystwo options, the way she sees it. Those of us with no patience at all, are simply looking for a quick-fix or the easy way out. Thenagain,there are those who prefer the long drawnout method of over-analyzingand anxiety. So. what is the best way to handle shocking situations? Act or react?

The truth is there is no book that says, the analytical approach is wrong or the quick-fix will ultimately lead to doom. Every situation brings its own high points and low points.

Emotions are common ways of dealing with situations. Tears are not always planned. A smile is not always that easy. When there is something bothering you, sometimes sucking-it-up IS the right thing to do. Other times, you have to think before you act. But most times, the right answer is staring you in the face.

So do not asswne you are ever alone. A real friend will be right there for you. Maybe he or she cannot make the decision for you, but they can give you the option of being true to yourself, and only YOUcan make that decision.
