In previous years, the academic honesty board would only meet if a student contested a charge, or violation to the academic policy. The newly re-written academic honesty policy makes the academic board more accessible to students and gives it a more active role in Cabrini's intellectual happenings.

Put on your bathing suits, upperclassmen, because drinking allowances are flooding the houses and apartments; all students over the age of 21 are invited to an adult-swim. In other words, if you are a senior and think you have been violating any rules by drinking on campus

since turning the legal drinking age, chances are, you have not. •

"'We treat drinking laws here at Cabrini the same as the laws instituted by the state of Pennsylvania," George Stroud, director of residence life, said. "Minors are not permitted in any bars in Pennsyvania and we don't allow them in the presence of alcohol here on campus."

According to Stroud, students over the age of 21 are permitted

to hold alcohol in their rooms 1f they li,e in any of die houses, or in the apartments. Conswnption of the alcoholic beverages ma)take place behind closed doors, not in the hallways, and only ifno one in the room is underage. If a minor should enter, all drinking must cease, and the minor must be asked to leave.

Pat Ciarrocchi, a broadcast journalist, was given a standing ovation by over 500 people, when she received the second CabriniNeuman Sons of Italy Award for Distinguished Contributions to Higher Education and the Academic Community on Friday, Oct. 10. President Toni Iadarola and Neuman President Dr. Rosalie Mirenda presented Ciarocchi with the award during the 2003 Columbus Day Banquet held at Loews Hotel at 7 p.m.

Lina Barbieri, director of marketing and communications,

attended the event and said that Ciarrocchi "gave a lovely presentation." Approximately 500 members of the Sons of Italy attended the event which gave recognition to Ciarrocchi, the second recipient of the award.

Last year's recipient was Philadelphia's Cardinal Beveloqua.

The citation read by both Iadarola and Mirenda, was presented to Ciarrocchi "for personifying the values of education and the truth that comes from leading a life guided by lasting principles and values."

As an on-air television personality, Ciarrocchi has gained respect as a co-anchor for

Eyewitness News, KYW-TV, Channel 3. Ciarrocchi was applauded for her integrity and passion for lifelong education.

"We are moved by your example. All of us, especially our students, who by watching your passion and desire to make the world a better place, learn what it means to be truly human and what it takes to keep life humane," the citation sai4. Upon receiving the award, Ciarrocchi spoke about the pride of being an Italian-American and American. She thanked her family for all of their support, as well as both college presidents.

Barbieri said, "She was just so moved to have been chosen."

"The board is going to be a permanent standing body comprised of both faculty and students that are meeting to promote the value of academic honesty. They are not just there to respond to cases of academic dishonesty," Dr. Catharine O'Connell. dean for academic affairs. said.

The board, comprised of four full-time students, four full-time faculty members and one ADP student, plans to motivate others to stick to Cabrini's core values of honesty, trust, fairn~ respe~nd responsibility.

"T~ board has the ability to apply additional punishment if it feels the faculty is being too lenient," junior Amanda Brown, a secondary education and math major, said. Brown is the academic board chair and the primary student representative on the academic board.

To be fair and have a vast variety of knowledge, the students on the board are trying to get representation from different years and different majors. The board

that everyone can attend meetings.

"We want there to be a sense of consistency and common purpose among the people on the board," O'Connell said.

The board meets biweekly to discuss the honesty policy and explain it to new members. Members discuss potential offenses so hearings are uniform, Brown said.

Although there have been no instances of plagiarism thus far, this year, Academic Affairs has requested that faculty members put the new policy on all syllabi. If they haven't yet done so, they are encouraged to do it for next term.

Editorial Internships and ·co-opshelpful to graduating senior·s looking for jobs

This year, Cabrini will graduate over 350 bright, young minds into the working world. Some of those students, no matter how skilled or creative they are, will not have jobs when they graduate, solely because they did not have an internship while in college.

With graduating seniors finding it hard to land jobs when they enter into the working world, having an internship or co-op before they graduate will put them well ahead of their competitors.

Due to the strength of the Career Services office with Nancy Hutchison and Kristi Beucler, Cabrini students are well known for having the beefiest portfolios and job skills because many take advantage of the internship program Cabrini offers. Job recruiters and interviewers look for that prior experience when they hire people for the job--without that experience, interviewers may overlook you,

October is the month the Career Services and Cooperative education office recommends that students start applying for spring co-ops. Co-ops and internships are an invaluable part of a college student's search for a job. With job market being the worst in decades for new graduates, it would only be wise for Cabrini students to get on the ball, take the initiative, and apply for a co-op.

Lower blood alcohollevel may pose a challenge for those of age

Thropony bottles of beer may not seem like a lot of alcohol, but if you consume them in one hour and then get behind the wheel of a car, you could land in hot water.

Pennsylvania's legal blood alcohol level is going to be lowered from .10 to .08 this month. Not only will the level be lowered, but also there will be stiffer penalties for offenders based on their blood-alcohol content.

If the bill was not passed, Pennsylvania would have lost close to $12 million in federal highway funding or two percent of its $600 million budget. Many see this as federal coercion, others see it as an incentive for safer highways-you be the judge.

While Loquitur is in favor of this lower bloodalcohol limit, we pose one question-what will happen to those of-age people who will no longer be able to celebrate a good test grade or a business meeting with one drink? Are they going to be scared to have that one drink that would have been OK before or will they tip their glass?

Cat employee is all about 'the kids'

ALAINA ROBINSON STAFF WRITER ACR723@CABRINI.EDU

Ever wonder about that lively little lady who swipes your card in the cafe? Well her name is Annie. Annie Carrey. Sort of rolls off the tongue. The feisty three year veteran of the cafeteria is dedicated to her job. But more so, her motivation stems from the students themselves. She seems to live for their well-being and she's also quite sociable, often leading to a firstname basis with some of the students. She playfully jokes with an impatient, hungry group of boys as she sets up the cash register at the front door. She refills the drawer with expertise and speed, all the while chatting merrily with the starving line of students that is piling up along the counter.

Carrey is a hard worker, hailing from Scotland. She has a daughter, who she's putting through college. And yes, she's severely committed to her work, her students. The student body is akin to an extended family to her and she devotes love and care to them just like they were her own flesh and blood. She takes them under her wing, so to speak, looking out for their comfort and satisfaction. She can be a handful when things don't go smoothly in the every day production in the cafe, but one of her mantras is: "the days are what you make them." Succinct, wise words. But her main creed: "It's all about the kids" is what one can really base their observations on. Annie

Carrey's bosses agree wholeheartedly with her student-oriented agenda. The staff tries its best to give the student body a healthy assortment of choices, even when the audience prefers junk food.

"She's too dedicated," coworker Michelle Watters said. Many of her other coworkers and associates would agree. Carrey goes to great lengths to make sure the students are well-taken care of in the caf, down to the littlest details such as set up.

She's no push-over either. When things aren't situated the right way, Carrey is the first one on the ball to fix things. She brings problems to the forefront, presenting them to her superiors in her feisty and straightforward way. Let her tell the story and she has run of the place.

Carrey has really carved a place into the hearts of several of the students, who like her mildmannered greetings and endearing nicknames. In fact, she seems to be a favorite among the wbrkers. The only people who don't know and appreciate this delightful lady are the freshmen. And she forgives them for that.

Foreigners face many obstacles by· coming to study abroad in the US

International student 'chooses the right path'

SHAWN RICE STAFF WRITER

SMR723@CABR[NI.EDU

The beginning of the year brought many challenges to Cabrini students. Coming from a foreign country has its disadvantages for international students because of the tighter security measures.

Maria Olivia has the difficulty right off the bat of trying to make relationships with roommates who have already established a friendship and students who have been in class for some time now.

Olivia came late in the school year was because of the dragging on of her visa application. Olivia needed to meet with the council at the Milan embassy to acquire her visa. Olivia said, "The waiting period to meet with the council was 15 days."

International stuclents must attencl class and maintain an up-to-date visa status

SHAWN RICE STAFF WRITER

SMR723@CABRJNI.EDU

The watch on international students has become increasingly tighter in recent years. Complications concerning visa applications have been a threat for international students because of Congress's resolve for stronger national security.

Jennifer Marks-Gold, international student support adviser, said, "A tracking system is in place that is a web-based program that makes us keep up on the (foreign) students." An area where there was little concern

for example an international student who missed a class has become information that is important to the government.

As reported on National Association of Foreign Student Advisers website, the Institute of International Education surveyed members of the American Association of Intensive English Programs and found a 19 percent decline in total enrollments between 2002 and 2003.

Marks-Gold said, "The new laws are stricter and horrible for (international) students. There is a decline over the entire country. Students are studying in Europe."

The main issue has been the visa applications and the continuing renewal of them on time. The screening process has been an increasing problem due to the "efficiency" the government desires.

Zdravko Markov, senior Internet computing major from Bulgaria, said, "Every international student has to stay on top of his or her visa status to make sure it is not expired and if it will expire soon you have to apply for renewal months before it expires or you won't get the new one in time and you will be in the country illegally."

Markov continued, "Also,

after graduation international students who want to stay in the US and work have to look for jobs that can provide them with working visas which could be very difficult and stressful."

NAFSA reports on their website that during the academic year of 2001-2002, foreign students and their dependents contributed more than $11.95 billion to the U.S. economy based on tuition figures, enrollment figures and living expenses.

Olivia had to give evidence that she will only be in the country to study and that she can afford the education. Her visa was stamped as an Fl indicating her status in the country as a student and only as a student.

Olivia is limited to working on campus until after a year of residency in the country. After the year she needs a signature from her international student support adviser Olivia hopes to make a return to Italy for a small visit with her family who she misses. In order to be able to come back into the United States, she needs a signature from her international student support adviser on a form before she leaves.

Was her decision to come to the states in pursuit of an education worth the aggravation and frustration? Olivia said, "Yeah, I chose the right path."

Drinkingonly allowedin house and CAC roomsfor studentsof age

If a crowd is caught with minors in the presence of alcohol, everyone in the room can be held accountable. Immediate actions will be taken on the host of whatever room it is in.

"Walk on any college campus, and you're going to find drinking, lots of it;' Trevor Daniels, a senior, said. "If it is allowed and properly monitored, there is less likely to be a problem."

"Be sure to know; just because we say you can drink does not mean that we condone irresponsible drinking," Stroud remarked

wanting to get that point across strongly. He went on to say that the drinking games are forbidden because their only purpose is to get drunk. Kegs and party-balls are also restricted from campus.

Junior Leslie Connus agrees with the allowances, but wishes they were more apparent when she lived in the houses. Connus, who is now 22, always hid her drinking when she finished her homework because no one knew what was permitted. "I was 21 and it felt like High School, so I just moved off campus," Connus said.

The entire college experience

involves learning to become independent through academic goals as well as diving into the social pipeline. A simple compromise between the two such as the drinking allowance creates a tolerable atmosphere.

People are going to drink whether they are allowed to or n9t. Connus feels that being told one can't drink is more of an incentive to drink.

"This policy's purpose is to educate young adults how to drink with rational thought," Stroud said.

Ed majors prepare for.changing environments

JESSICA GoLDBERG STAFF WRITER JG723@CABRINLEDU

Education has become an extremely popular major because a lot of older teachers are retiring, leaving the new teachers to deal with higher qualifications as well as the theory of no child stays behind and technology.

Dr. Thomas Stretton, Jr., an education professor, said that the no child staying behind theory is a very complex federal program initiated by the Bush administration, which will guarantee students literacy at a higher level. There are three components which are assessment, teacher training, and student testing.

"Hopefully all students will have attained a certain level of mastery in math and English," Stretton said.

The reading and math testing is from grades three to eight. There is also an Adequate Yearly Process. The AYP will show that enough students are making progress.

"By the year 2006, core academic teachers be quired to be highly qualified ( college degrees to graduate work). This varies from level to level and the schools can then tell the parents

whether or not the teacher is highly qualified. This is not an issue in Eastern Pennsylvania, but it is a national issue," Stretton said. The goal is to have a certified teacher in every classroom because last year Philadelphia was short more than 1500 teachers.

Kelly Stronski, a pre-kindergarten teacher at Mulberry Childcare and Pre-School has noticed an extreme use of computers in the classroom. When she was a freshman in college, the Internet was new and hard to use, but she notices that now children as old as three are able to get onto the Internet.

"It is not too early to learn how to use a computer. The children start learning how to count on a computer around the age of three at this school, and this can put them a step ahead," Stronski said.

This is part of our culture now and to not know how to use a computer early on in life can become a huge disadvantage later.

Stronski also said that this is very beneficial because each child will know certain information before they leave a grade.

Sewage stink festers . Academic honesty policy in library basement.=7"fl=targeted at increasing

SHAWN RICE STAFF WRITER SMR723@CABRIN1.EDU

The aura that surrounded the sociology class that met in room six of the downstairs section of the library reeked horribly with a disgusting odor that led to the early dismissal of the students by its professor.

The smell brought an overwhelming nausea to the entire building of the library. Dr. Bobbi Jacquet, director of the Holy Spirit Library, closed the library down for a couple of hours due to the building being "an unhealthy environment."

Howard Holden, director of facilities, said, "We have been experiencing a problem with the sanitary waste system in the library. We hired a water jet machine to clear the pipe. In the process, some waste, and accompanying odors, came up through a basement floor drain."

Rosemarie De Maio, a reference librarian, said, "Professors made other plans. One professor took their class to the Jazzman's Cafe."

Holden said, "The area has been cleaned, sanitized, and fresh air circulated throughout the building. We did find a significant root in the sewer line, and that has been removed. Hopefully, this event will not occur again."

The library reopened a couple of hours after closing and the door remained opened for proper circulation. Students ignored what was left of the horrendous smell and continued to work in the library.

awareness of offenses

NEW, page l

"It's a new policy so it takes a little while to have full implementation," O'Connell said.

If a professor suspects a student of dishonesty, he or she fills out a form. The student must sign the form. Many students, according to Brown, think that by not signing the form that they are not acknowledging the charge; this is not the case. Meeting and discussion is all that is needed for formal acknowledgement.

There are varying degrees of charge and penalty, based on the student's year and offense.

"A freshman accused of glancing at someone else's test is not going to receive the same penalty as a senior," Brown said. "A senior's supposed to know better."

Through the introduction of the new academic honesty policy, O'Connell hopes to increase awareness of the importance of academic honesty, educate students about what constitutes academic dishonesty - particularly plagiarism, and to achieve greater consistency in enforcement.

"I want everyone to know about the policy because there seems to be some ignorance about what the rules are,"

Studellt debt mounts as tuition cOsts rise

KRISTEN CATALANOTTO STAFF WRfTER KMC723@CABRINI.EDU

Soaring up like a fighter pilot's jet, tuition costs continue to sky rocket yearly.

Each year when students return "to Cabrini, their fee for attending the college is never the same. The costs go up a few thousand dollars a year. Students and their parents continue to ask themselves, where all the money is going.

The college administration insists that the money is going to further the educational process of the students.

It's not just Cabrini's tuition that keeps rising. Colleges and universities all over the country are also increasing the amount of

money it costs to attend their institutions.

State schools are typically not as expensive to attend, but recent studies have shown that their costs are going up each year as well.

Because of the increase in tuition, students are then prompted to take out more federal loans, "Those students who commit to higher education are more likely than ever to end up taking out loans-which have to be repaid-instead of grants, which do not," according to Education Week.

Students, because they have taken out loans, are more likely to work a full-time job in order to pay back the debt that continues to pile up each year.

The popular Pell Grant is what

many students turn to in order to afford their higher education. This academic year, "an estimated 4.4 million-are expected to receive Pell Grants," Education Week said.

According to Chad May, the coordinator of institutional research and outcomes assessment, 92 percent of full-time Cabrini students receive some sort of financial aid.

Many states including Ohio, are looking at enforcing tuition caps in order to make sure costs don't dramatically increase every year. Those who appose tuition caps say that putting a limit on the amount of money schools can charge can inhibit their ability to purchase essential items to further their educational environment.

CHRISTOPHER JONES STAFF WRITER CBJ722@CABRINI.EDU

It's no secret that college students across the country, whether legal or not, consume alcohol. The buzz around Cabrini's campus is that there is such a day where a lot of the residents on campus drink. That day is "Thirsty Thursday."

While it seems the campus rules of alcohol consumption are incognito, Charlie Schaffner, director of Public Safety, said differently. "Young people here, if they don't know the rules, then they aren't paying attention. There are a number of places where the rules are specified. George Stroud and I talk to all incoming freshmen at orientation and rules are specifically

explained to them at that point. Every student is given and can receive the public safety handbook, which specifies the alcohol regulations."

It's evident that some students are cautious about their safety and alcohol intake. "I have to know my boundaries, and not push my limits too far," Mark Martino, business administration major, said. "If I'm at a party, I have to know them, and I know not to lay my drink down."

Well is it safe to say that college students here at Cabrini know the rules and regulations when it comes to alcohol? "I'm sure that the RA staff explains the rules as well. So as far as I'm concerned, there's no excuse. The state law says you cannot drink until you're 21, they all know that," said Schaffner.

"Additionally, they have the opportunity to look online for the student handbook."

Though most of the rules do not pertain to residents on campus who are 21 and over, they still have to worry about going off campus and having a good time drinking. The legal blood alcohol level in Pennsylvania is on its way to being lowered from .10 to .08 in October. According to the Associated Press, the Senate approved the bill and is headed to the House of Representatives for deliberation.

"Though I'm 21 in a dry dorm, it doesn't effect me as much because I go to bars. I always make sure I have a designated driver with me or someway of contacting one," Tyson Ehinger, freshman business major, said.

There are artists today who have controversial CDs instead of controversial appearances. For example, there have been several groups that have been taken off store shelves because of suggestive artwork and song titles. Taylor and Friel agreed with the fact that none of the CDs should be taken off the shelf and instead have a section for controversial music. Junior Steph Mossa, social work major said, "It's ok to take the music off the helf because little kids shouldn't e exposed to those types of CD nd music." Mindrich says, "It •sn 't really fair but it is the stores hoice, however, it is a form of disrimination."

If record stores did decide to create a section for suggestive material wouldn't that just boost sales for these artists? Mindrich and Taylor believe that the separation would help artist with their sales. Taylor said, ':""fhosethat rebel are going to buy the music and those that aren't rebellious just want to know what the artist is saying that is so bad."

On the flipside of the coin Mossa says, "Logically people would think because the artist is a rebel they may not be liked by many therefore, no CDs would be purchased. However, teenagers are buying the artists' music for enjoyment and not necessarily the controversy."

Local singer-songwriter comes to Cabrini

CECELIA FRANCISCO STAFF WRITER CAF722@CABRINI .EDU

Philadelphia local singersongwriter McGowan is relocating to the west coast to further his music career but not before giving his favorite college hot spot, Cabrini one last Hoorah. He drew a moderate crowd during Tuesday night's heavy storm.

McGowan just recently finished a year long tour with Australian performer Ben Lee. The tour spanned the United States and carried over into Australia. McGowan is not resting on his laurels though.

"The next tour kicks off the middle of next week," McGowan said about the next leg of the tour in which California rock band Phantom Planet has been added to the tour bill

Fans in the Cabrini College theatre on Tuesday night were privy to McGowan's last small

local show in the area until the tour returns to the Theatre of the Living Arts on November 9th.

"Since high school I've been performing." McGowan said, "I've been writing songs since basically I could bang on pillows."

Though recording industry personnel have approached him, McGowan's been taking it in stride.

"I'm kind of just biding my time and enjoying it as I go. I haven't really been pushing anything," McGowan said. "But every now and then I do get a record exec. who will give me 'you're doing a good job kid, keep it up,' type of thing."

CDs and stickers reading 'who the hell is McGowan' were available along with a sign-up sheet for his mailing list.

Once the package seal is broken, the disc begins to deteriorate by changing slowly from red to black. Because it is exposed to air, an oxidation process begins, which eventually makes it unreadable to the laser on a DVD player. If the disc is kept in the package, it is guaranteed to last for at least one year.

When the disc does become unreadable there are a few options that one could do with the EZ-D. The EZ-D is made of a polycarbonate material, which is recyclable according to Environmental Protection Agency standards. Buena Vista Entertainment and Flexplay have worked on different options in order to recycle these discs. Consumers are able to print a postage prepaid electronic label, request a postage prepaid mailer to be sent, participate in an incentive program, or get callee-

The new discs are only available right now in Texas, South Carolina, Illinois and Missouri. One will be able to find these EZ-Ds in a variety oflocations in a selection of titles. Even though some have compared this to DIVX, which were special discs to be played in special players, these EZ-Ds are different. EZD's are different because they play in standard DVD players unlike DIVX.

The price range for the EZ-Ds will be between $5 to $8. They are intended to be sold at drugstores, retail outlets and convenience stores. The new disposable DVDs will not be making it harder for pirated movies, but by making DVDs cheaper it may

help cut back on illegal copying. The environmental concerns are making some consumers wonder whether or not this would be such a beneficial idea. The new discs may be convenient for everyone but is really worth it in the long run? Fox said, "I don't think anyone would spend that much money in a couple of days when you could join a DVD club where it would last much longer."

Whether this is a way to regain consumers that rental companies have lost or never had, there is some criticism about whether EZ-Ds are all that they are cracked up to be. Even with the fear that eventually VHS will become obsolete, it still leaves the market open to those who want to venture beyond their rental late fees.

"Bouncing of the Walls" by Sugarcult blares through the corridor of the second floor of Founder's Hall. People are running in and out of the radio studio preparing to go live. The energy is high and spirits are soaring.

Cabrini College's radio station, 89.l WYBF The Bum, is on-air three days a week with a variety of shows for everyone's tastes. With Villanova being in such close proximity, 89.1 is shared between the two colleges. But, according to Krista Mazzeo, the general manager and a 1998 graduate of Cabrini, there is rarely interference between the two schools.

Some college's radio stations are meant for just fun. Cabrini, however, is meant for both work and play. Being apart of the radio station earns college credits. One receives; one credit for the training, one credit for participation and working, and two credits if one is involved with the executive staff. To be a part of the radio station and have your own show there is a one week training program. This is open to all students who are interested. As far as internships, Mazzeo said that she helps students get internships with her connections with commercial stations.

"Everyone is really upbeat. Especially the night shows. They are super energetic. Their friends' call in and are instant messaging. It's a morale booster," Mazzeo said. Wayne MacDowell, who has his show "Local Show with Wayne," said, "I love it. I never leave it. It gives me a reason to live. Never have I been so proud to be apart of something as I am with WYBF." Not only do the show hosts have a good time but the guests do as well. Katy Kidell, a consistent guest on "The Random Show" with Dave Erlich and MacDowell, said, "It's fun. I talk a lot so it works for me and I'm with my friends. I do it because it's fun." Bobby Maro, a DJ at the radio station, said, " It's great, there's no format except for breaks. I get to play whatever I want." The radio station also contributes to choosing a career. Maro said that he would like to be a disc jockey as a second job and maybe own a record label. All the radio shows are unique in their own way.

"Late Night Testosterone," is a show about guys saying guy things. They are all about fun. Everyone is happy and laughing.

With a giant wall of CDs, the hosts of the various shows prepare the nights' play lists and start their journey into the rooms all around campus. Mazzeo said, ''WYBF has something for everybody, a lot of diverse music. It's definitely a fun part of going to Cabrini."

MARISA GALU:LLI GUEST WRITER MLG723 @CAB.RINI .EDU

All of us know what it is like to lose someone we love, or at least can understand and imagine how it would feel to lose someone so close to you. Three weeks ago I lost one very key person in my life to death. This person was a great pillar of strength. She was the one that told me that I could do whatever I wanted as long as I wanted it bad enough.

This person is my grandmother, or Nana, as my family fondly called her. She was always there whenever I needed her to just talk about anything. She would sit there and just listen to me babble about anything I felt the need to talk to her about.

My grandmother died on Wednesday,Sept. 24. This was a crushing blow to my entire family. But to me it meant that a huge amount of my self-confidence, my confidence in others and in my beliefs would plummet. When I was little, I would go over to my Nana's house after school. She would just sit there and help me with my homework, at the same time boosting my self-confidence.

When I was in grade school I was constantly teased by everyone, and I basically had the idea

that nobody liked me but a select few people. It always seemed that someone was saying something negative about me. Nana's solution to this was a grilled cheese and a hug. She said that I was one of the five grandchildren that she was blessed with. It seemed to me that she treated each of us as her equal. The reason for this, I was told by my Aunt Eunice, Nana's sister, right after the funeral mass, was that she had this way about her. The way that she treated each of us made us feel so special and loved.

I regret not telling her that I loved her especially when I became preoccupied with work. Even though I knew that she knew that I loved her, I would have liked to tell her one more time.

The days preceding her death I can say I wished I had called her when I was going to, but instead I. was busy with work. Now I very much regret that decision because I never truly got to tell her how much I loved her. The days after her death were the hardest in my life so far. It didn't truly hit me until the next morning; I just woke up and realized that I never got to tell her how much I loved her. It seems to me that after this ordeal I have come to realize that time is a precious thing and that we should spend each day as if it were our last. I know it's probably one of the

most over used lines in anything you've read or seen but it is the honest truth. You never know how much time you have. You honestly have to take each day and live it to the fullest because you truly don't know the amount of time you have left on this earth. It seems to me that sometimes it feels as though she is right beside me, guiding me through the difficult situations in my life.

I have always had a problem with trusting people too easily and then ending up being hurt in the end. In my heart I believe that everyone is inherently good, but I know in my head that is not true, because in my life I have come across many people who are simply out for their own personal gain and they do not care who they hurt in the process, and my Nana helped me to understand this point. My Nana always encouraged me to be able to stand on my own two feet and to know when to ask for help.

I know that it will be hard to go ahead in life but as long as I have my family and my friends, maybe I will find a new pillar, not to take over the place of the old, but just to use sparingly until I have found the strength within myself to truly let me carry on and be my own pillar.

I definitelywouldtake advantage of the co-op or internship opportunity.

No. because us education majors have field experience "thrown" at us unlike other majors.

y stupidity

JACLYN FREESE EDITOR IN CHrEF JMF722 @cABRJNI.EDU

It was Thursday, Oct. 9, and I was enjoying a nice evening with my roommate and next door neighbor. We did our thing, had our fun, and went to bed. A nice time was had by all.

As I was falling asleep to "Fellowship of the Ring," I heard laughter outside. This is not unusual for a Thursday night at House 5; there's usually good fun going on outside after the parties die down. 1 peeked out my window to see what the hoopla was all about and I was shocked at what I saw-some idiot spraying a fire extinguisher all over the lawn and then throwing it down the hill into the trees.

Now, I know people do stupid things when they imbibe alcohol and I have to admit, the things are usually pretty funny, but spraying and tossing a fire extinguisher is stupid. For one thing, it is dangerous; a lot of people are allergic to or get asthma attacks from the powder in the extinguisher. The second thing is what if our

house actually had a frre? We would have no fire extinguisher to put out the fire.

I live on the second floor and our extinguisher is missing. I have no idea if they took the one on my floor, but it was there at the beginning of Thursday night and now an empty hook sticks out of the wall. I am hoping we do not get fined for something this drunken moron did.

The worst part is I did not recognize the person. I'm pretty sure he didn't live in the house-the House 5 guys are smarter than that. I am hoping it wasn't one of their guests or some upperclassmen from another house-they should know better than to do something that stupid.

However, when Public Safety arrived, a bunch of people walked away from the house towards the freshmen dorms. I would not doubt, (nor am I saying) that it was a freshman who thought he was being funny and got out of control.

I know that people saw this kid and know who he was. I would hope that if the house gets fined for this, they would have the anatomy they supposedly have and step up to say who this inebriated fool was.

Letter to the Editor How to deal for real

Music Downloads

In response to Mike Kazanjian 's letter last week, I would like to t,ouch on the subject of downloading music. As someone who has been working in the music industry for around three years, and following it for even longer, I feel that I should provide some corrections to his statements.

According to Kazanjian, the artists Jose money when their songs are downloaded. Granted that may be true, it is not as harmful to the artist as you may think. Most artists receive no more than three cents per album sold, and even the biggest artists, such as Madonna and The Rolling Stones, only get around 15-16 percent of the album's sale, which in the end isn't as much as you'd think. The record labels receive the majority of the money from album sales. Most artists, in fact, make all of their money from merchandising and tours. They do get money from selling their albums at the shows, but the artists need to BUY those albums from the record label before they can sell them.

In my opinion, the music industry has been going about

selling their records the wrong way. People don't want just the music anymore; they want extras, which can almost never be downloaded. These include live concert footage, bios, flashy and attractive packaging, and occasionally some interactive materials. Universal Music Group has taken a giant leap towards helping their record sales by dropping the suggested retail price back down to $12.98 on a lot of their big titles. This is a step that needs to be taken by the industry as a whole.

The pay-to-download music sites are also something that the record labels have not taken enough advantage of. These sites allow people to download just the single they like while also contributing money to the artist or label. The industry also needs to realize that people don't want to buy an album that sounds like crap. They want to spend their hard earned $20 on good music, and downloading allows them to check out the album before buying it.

My record collection, of actual CDs, not MP3s, is almost breaking the 800 mark, and half of them would never have been bought if I hadn't downloaded the album first to see if I liked it, In fact, at this moment I am listening· to my newly purchased

copy of Hybrid's Morning Sci-Fi which I've had downloaded for almost three months. I bought the album because I like the artist, l like the packaging, it came with a DVD, and I like the idea of having the actual album.

As a musician who has been writing for over five years, I can say that I Jove it when people download my music. I love to write; it brings a warmth to my soul that is unmatchable and if other people like what I write, that makes me feel even better. Sure, it'd be wonderful if people wanted to purchase my music, but in the mindset of an artist, that's not the driving force to releasing the records. Yes, some bands are together purely forprofit, and those bands don't write real music, they write what people want, whatever's popular, and they deserve to have their music downloaded instead of bought.

Overall, I feel that the downloading of music is essential to an artists' survival. It allows for exposure to the masses in a way that radio would never allow; radio only plays the top hits most of the time. If you want to hear new music, you have no choice but to download it.

As seniors in high school, we look to the future with great happiness and anticipation of only good things happening to us. We fully believe that when we go away to school things will be the best that can ever be. Most of us girls believe that we will fall in love and live happily ever after. We also believe that we will find the perfect major and get the perfect job. Well things don't always turn out the way we think they will. There are hardships and hurtles to overcome. Lets face it - life is not a walk in the park.

We are not going to get the perfect major or the perfect job, we won't fall in love and get married. Things take time and work. Things go wrong. Things don't turn out as you would want them to. The perfect major turns out to be something that you can simply not live with and you end up taking all these different courses to try to find out what you can live with. And that perfect guy turns out not-so-perfect and marriage seems a lot more scary than you thought.

When you leave home to take

on this perfect future, you don't realize that it's not going to be so perfect. It might actually take work and time. Things will be hard to cope with the changes that you face when you realize all these things. Change comes as automatic as a pimple on the night before prom. And we need to deal with that. It's harder when you are away from home because you don't have your comfort zone around you. You are in a strange place with nothing that reminds you of home.

The first year of college is very hard to get through but remember, you will not die if something doesn't go your way, you will live. Things will go on. You will find that class will lead to the perfect major that leads to the perfect job. Who knows?

Maybe you will find that guy that will eventually lead to the pictureperfect marriage.

Sometimes things around you can get complicated and you can get wrapped up in them and their "complicatedness," but you just have to take a step back and realize where you are and where you want to be. Sort out the things that are most important to you and work on them. Changes are all around you and the best way to deal with them is to take them on one at a time, and know that you will survive and life will go on.

In a given weekend I probably spend $30 to $50. What do I spend it on? I usually have no idea where my money goes.

When I heard about student activities selling tickets to the Flyers hockey game my first thought was how much.

A ticket that regularly sells at $5 l to the general public was only $20 to Cabrini students.

Twenty bucks to see the Philadelphia Flyers take on the Buffalo Sabres in opening night at the newly-named Wachovia Center; does it get any better than that? Did I mention that twenty bucks gets you transportation to and from the game, a Flyers basebalJ cap, and of course admission to the game. Jason Bozzone, director of student activities, even arranged for Cabrini College to be recognized on the scoreboard hanging over center ice.

We boarded the big yellow bus, which was our transportation • for the evening, and after a quick roll call we were on our way to Philly. 19,130 fans filled the Wachovia Center last Thursday, Oct. 9. The lights were dimmed

Bozzone works extremely hard to coordinate activities for students. I have been to three sporting events that Bozzone has arranged for students; two Philadelphia Sixers basketbalJ games and now a Flyers hockey game, and each event I went to I was not disappointed.

Student activities are a wonderful thing to take advantage of. I noticed that when I went to pur9hase tickets even weeks after they had been available to Cabrini students that there were still plenty left to buy. Maybe there aren't many sports fans at Cabrini, but I encourage everyone to see what activities Bozzone is planning throughout this year because they are a great way to change your routine weekend and they are relatively inexpensive.

Bozzone mentioned to those of us attending the Flyers game that he has some great events he is trying to coordinate. l don't want to get anyone's hopes up but we are on the waiting list for tickets to watch the Live with David Letterman show in NYC.

so much time into a relationship, that to just give up would be a waste of time. But when do you say enough is enough? What draws the line? What makes you say that it's over?

ANTONIO MASONE SPORTS EDITOR MASONF.A1'T @CABRJNJ.EDU

Upon entering my house, heading towards my room, 1 notic.:d that all of my housemates' as well as my own belongings had been cleared from the hallway.

At first I was thinking, "Who in the world would want a bunch of dirty sneakers and cleats, a few smel!y lacrosse bags, and a roll of artificial turf?,, A few minutes passed and I , recalled seeing a public safety jeep with a roll of turf on its roof only an hour or two before while running with the lacrosse team during practice,

As I was standing outside of my room gazing at the empty space in the hallway, my neighbor came over to explain to me what

had occurred. While he explained what had happened, others that lived in the area that had belongings taken as well gathered to hear how they could go about obtainingtheirbelongings.

Being that this "confiscation,, occurred without warning, we were all very surprised. Understandably, some of out equipment that had been taken was in fact in the small hallway where one of the fire exit doors is, but would it have been too much as to get a warning letter prior to confiscating all of our belongings?

The officer that took the belongings told a resident that was present in the house that our RA had been infonned and that all residence were given a dead1ine to have their things taken out of the hallway. If that were the case none of us would have left our things to be taken by public safety.

Later that night I spoke with

I guess all-in-all the reason why I am complaining about this situation is because of the way it was handled. In my mind, Public Safety does not have the right to confiscate my or anyone else's belongings, nor do they have the right to look through those belongings that they have just unrightfully obtained.

That could be dangerous if the one you love can't be trusted. Some people get stepped all over on and treated like dirt. You get angry, annoyed, and you may even cry because the pain can at times be unbearable. How do you deal with this? Some people feel that once something like this happens that's it.

There are things that occur in a relationship that just shouldn't happen. To me, cheating is the one thing that I could NEVER forgive. If you love someone to tha d areundying love for them and promise them a life together that's something that just shouldn't happen. Yes, there are ways of hiding your cheating ways but I feel you 're better off being honest when you are confronted, rather than lying and having them find out down the line that you cheated. A scare like that can ruin a person's future relationships.

You have control! Don't let the phrase "I love you" make you want to take that faulty person back. Some people use that phrase to get the things they want and that's it.

Friends can make things better but they can also make things worse depending on how biased your friends can be. I have been lucky to have the kind of friends that listen, offer judgment when they know I can take it, and comfort me when they know I need it.

"I think they're snobby," says Jim Ross a junior Graphic Design major. This is just one of the many opinions about athletes here on Cabrini's campus. There are often assumptions that the athletes are treated differently than their non-athletic counterparts. Being that Cabrini is a small school, it is evident that athletes stand out more so than at big universities. Do they receive preferential treatment or are they at a disadvantage?

The student handbook speci- • fies that if an athlete is subject to academic probation they may not participate in sports activi_tiesand that, just as any other student, they will be dismissed after that semester if unable to increase their GPA.

(KRT) Yanks in an AL division series. Garcia was not added to

Back in spring training, people in the New York Yankees' organization wanted to strangle David Wells.

Seven months later, they all want to hug him.

The 40-year-old lefthander, whose wacky irreverence often overshadows his pitching prowess, won his second game of this postseason on Tuesday to lead the New York Yankees to within one win of their 39th American League pennant.

Wells held the Boston Red Sox to a run over seven innings as the Yankees won Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, 4-2, leaving a stunned Fenway Park crowd of 34,619 quietly heading for the exits, wondering whether they had seen the last of their beloved team, in the flesh at least, for 2003.

The Yankees lead the best-ofseven series, three games to two. They can eliminate the Red Sox and advance to the World Series for the sixth time in eight years with a win on their home soil in Game 6 on Wednesday.

In addition to having their home fans behind them, the Yanks will have postseason workhorse Andy Pettitte on the mound. The lefty is 2-0 with a 1.98 earned run average in this postseason. His career record in the AL Championship Series is 61.

The Red Sox altered their rotation to get Derek Lowe on the mound on Tuesday. That leaves the season on the shoulders of John Burkett in Game 6.

Burkett has never beaten the Yankees in 11 career regular-season starts against them. However, s a e be o the Texas

"We can't take anything lightly,"~ankees manager Joe Torre said. "Burkett has been down this road before. He has experience. Yeah, he gets whacked around now and then. He may not have knockout stuff like a lot of pitchers. But he has calmness and know-how."

Two controversial figures _ Wells and Karim Garcia came up huge for the Yankees on Tuesday.

Wells gave up just four hits and pitched out of difficult jams in the third and fifth innings.

Wells began the season by angering teammates and Yankees officials with a tell-all book in which he claimed to have been half-drunk while he pitched his perfect game in 1998. Wells also scuffed several of his teammates in the book.

Torre and most others in the Yankees organization have forgiven Wells for his transgressions. Fifteen regular-season wins and two in the postseason have a way of smoothing things over.

"We're all in this for one reason--to win," Torre said. "Tonight was--l can't tell you how huge it was. David was terrific."

Reggie Jackson, a front-office adviser with the Yankees, and a man who knows a little about controversy, agreed with Torre.

"We all love him today, don't we?" Jackson said of Wells.

Garcia met his infamy in Game 3 on Saturday when he hopped into the Yankees' bullpen to join a fight that reliever Jeff Nelson was having with a Red Sox groundskeeper. Garcia cut his left hand in the fracas and, like Nelson, will likely face crim-

Tuesday's lineup until after batting practice, when Torre saw that the cut on his hand was not affecting his swing.

After Garcia's two-out, tworun single in the second, the Yanks got another run-scoring single from Alfonso Soriano as they opened up a 3-0 lead against • Lowe.

Wells was brilliant in pitching out of a jam in the third inning. The Red Sox had runners on second and third with no outs, and • Wells retired Johnny Damon, Todd Walker and Nomar Garciaparra to end the threat.

Two innings later, with his team up, 3-1, Wells got dangerous Manny Ramirez to bounce out to third base on a curveball.

An inning earlier, Ramirez had hit a Wells change-up over the Green Monster.

Wells is one of those primetime athletes who love the glow of a big game. He is 10-2 in the postseason.

"I live for this stuff," he said. "l love being the guy on the mound, trying to shut the other team down."

Wells had help from his defense and his closer. Leftfielder Hideki Matsui and the middle-infield tandem of Soriano and Derek Jeter made important plays behind the Yankees pitcher.

Wells may also have had some help from another source. He worships Babe Ruth anµ buys into the curse said to have been placed on the Red Sox after Ruth's sale to the Yankees in 1919.

"I believe in it," Wells said. "l just try to follow suit and try to keep the theory alive."

Although some may disagree, Dr. Girard, a history Professor, believes in the equality among students despite the small population. "Division Ill athletes do not get special treatment," Girard said "Their commitment is profound and they are expected to do the same work as the rest of the students."

Athletic Director Leslie Danehy agrees. "On the campus at large there's a perception that they are treated • differently," Danehy said. "They are not given preferential treatment."

Some athletes believe that it not so fair, especially when

So is there own side to participating in athletics? For the most part it is stereotypes that the athletes face. Since Cabrini is a relatively small school, sports players make up much of the student population. "These large groups become visible and tend to develop either positive or negative connotations," Danehy said. "I kind of think that we're seen as trouble makers," said Templin who feels that much of it is guilt by association. "I think we 're labeled as thinking that we are better than everyone else," Pierre Archambault, a junior lacrosse player, said. He explained that there probably is advantages and disadvantages, but believes that • altogether·the issue is blown out of proportion.

Trading places with a superstar

Detective tells in detail rape accusations against Bryant

DALE HOFMANN MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL (KRT)

Try to make yourself 25 years old. Now become fabulously rich, globally popular and supremely gifted with a beautiful wife and a healthy new daughter.

You're already experiencing an imagination overload, but try.

Next, admit publicly to cheating on your beautiful wife, and stand accused of a crime that could get you locked up for life. Remember, most people think you're innocent of the crime, and you can afford the best lawyers in the world to defend you at a time when fame can get a man elected governor of California.

You're black, bilingual, intelligent and articulate. You've been raised in an upper middle class family and the only previous problffl't" you've ever had with the law was an unpaid speeding ticket

Do you want to be that person? Would you trade lives with Kobe Bryant?

Not today, obviously, because you just had the worst day of your life. But after the trial and for as long as you live? Think about it. Your answer might tell you how you really feel about pro athletes.

Some of you will say that Kobe Bryant was in a courtroom Thursday because he was rich and famous, and some of y~u ~ill say he was there in spite of that. Most of you probably expect him to walk.

None of you wants to be in Bryant's shoes for the next six months or so, but if he's acquitted, he'll still be fabulously rich and supremely gifted with a beautiful wife and a healthy daughter. Maybe a little less popular than before, but with hundreds of thousands of people he doesn't know still praising him. See if Bryant doesn't get a standing ovation the first time he steps on to the Los Angeles Lakers' home floor.

"To be honest with you, I'd much rather play basketball and not be famous," Bryant told reporters this week. "I'd rather do something else that I love doing, getting paid well and do it and being married to my wife and raise our children without anybody bothering us when we go out in public or everybody scrutinizing every, little detail, and everybody making up rumors about our lives."

Bryant wants it both ways. He'd take the money without the fame, as if one didn't flow directly from the other. The pros discovered a long time ago that privacy is the tradeoff for privilege, and Bryant seems to think he should have both.

Of course, that's how you'd feel, too, if you were Kobe Bryant, but you're not. You're used to living your life without attracting much notice from strangers. Would you be willing to have your mistakes magnified along with your accomplishments? Would that depend on how much it paid?

You might answer that you wouldn't have been in that hotel room with a 19-year-old in the first place, and there would be no arguing with that. But athletes make bad decisions every day on topics that hardly ever come up for the rest of us. How would you do with that if you were Kobe Bryant?

So here you are in a courtroom facing the biggest competition of your life, with your reputation, freedom and livelihood at risk if y~u Jose, and a fairy tale existence of wealth, fame and power to resume m the more likely event that you'll win.

Would you take a chance and trade places with Kobe Bryant? And would he trade with you after losing 15 pounds to stress, becoming the target of thousands of racist morons, and knowing his life will never be quite as golden as it was six months ago?

But his can still be awfully good, much better anyway than the one his accuser can look forward to.

I'm guessing you wouldn't trade, but I'm wondering if you have children who might. Maybe you should ask them.

The Colorado woman who said she was raped by Kobe Bryant told police the basketball star bent her over a chair and assaulted her while she sobbed and told him to stop, a detective testified on Thursday.

"You're not going to tell anyone about this, right?" Bryant said as his hands gripped her throat, the teenager told police.

The 19-year-old woman's account of what happened on June 30 at the posh hotel where she worked was laid out in graphic detail by Eagle County Sheriff's Detective Doug Winters. She was not in the courtroom.

But the much-anticipated hearing came to an abrupt halt when Bryant's lead attorney Pamela Mackey, dropped a bombshell by asking whether the victim's injuries were "consistent with a person who had sex with three different men in three days."

Before Winters could answer, Judge Frederick Gannett ordered the lawyers behind closed doors. The hearing resumes next Wednesday.

Through it all, Bryant, 25, sat expressionless. He contends the sex was consensual. If convicted, he could be sent to prison for life.

"The testimony given by the detective was very damning to Kobe," said former Denver District Attorney Norm Early. "Most first-time lovers don't have sex over the top of a chair for five minutes."

In another potentially damning revelation, Winters said

investigators found blood on the nem of Bryant's sfor tbat matched the alleged victim's DNA.

Most legal experts expected that the L.A. Lakers' star guard would skip the hearing and head straight to trial rather than allow prosecutors to lay out their case publicly for the first time.

Instead, Bryant's legal team launched an early attack on the evidence after Gannett rejected a request to compel the woman to testify.

Excited at first

Under questioning from prosecutor Gregg Crittenden, Winters recounted the woman's tale before a packed courtroom.

Nervously consulting his notebook, the small-town cop said the woman admitted that she was excited when she learned Bryant using the name Javier Rodriguez was coming to the posh Lodge & Spa at Cordillera in nearby Edwards. She said she escorted Bryant and his two bodyguards to room 35 at IO p.m.

Bryant, who is married, flirted with her, and she agreed to come back to his room, Winters said.

About 15 minutes later, the woman returned _ using a back stairwell to sneak past the bodyguards and took Bryant on a brief tour of the resort during which they passed bellhop Bobby Pietrack, Winters said.

"He (Bryant) asked her if she had a boyfriend," the detective said. "She said she didn't."

The woman said she and Bryant began making out when they got back to his room - but she declined his offer to join him in the hot tub. When she tried to leave, Bryant allegedly barred her wav.

"He began kissing her, kissing ner moulh, kissmg her nee , which she agreed to," Winters said.

But when Bryant began groping her, the woman said, she tried to flee. "She stated, 'He grabbed me with both hands around the neck,' " Winters said. "She was afraid that he was going to choke her."

Winters said the woman told him Bryant turned her around, pushed her against a chair, pulled down her panties and sexually assaulted her. He said the woman said no twice but he ignored her pleas.

The incident lasted just five minutes, and when it was over, the woman said, Bryant made her kiss his genitals, the detective said.

Defense on attack

Winters said the woman told Pietrack what happened before leaving work and reported the rape to cops the next day. A nurse who examined the woman that day found evidence of vaginal tearing, he said. •

Later, Winters retracted his earlier statement that the woman had shown Bryant a tattoo on her back.

Mackey also scoffed at the evidence of a struggle that prosecutors introduced, specifically a photo of the woman's jaw with a dime-size bruise.

There was a loud gasp in the courtroom when Mackey blurted out the alleged victim's name, three times in quick succession. She apologized, saying she would write a "big note" to remind herself not to use the name.

"Or I can just go get the muzzle," a miffed Gannett said.

The big transition

Fall PAC players of the week

JEFFREY 0UTIERBRIDGE STAFF WRITER Jh0722@CABRINJ .EDU

The women's tennis- team is headed in a totally new direction. This year the team has seven freshmen on the team.

One of those freshmen is Caitlon Scott. Currently she is in the number two position on the team and has been as high as number one. Scott has participated in a number of different sports like soccer, softball, figure skating, and even horseback riding. Out of all of the activities, Scott chose to focus on tennis.

" Tennis was just something that I wanted to try and I found out I was good at it," Scott said. She has been playing tennis for six years. "When I play, I feel good. Playing_ motivates me. There is no place 1 would rather be than the court."

Scott is from Medford, NJ., and attended Bishop Eustace prep school. For her, the transition from high school to Cabrini was not hard. Her high school was small, so moving from there to Cabrini was easy.

Like all perspective college students, Scott had a good selection of schools to choose from. Her final decision came down to two schools, Cabrini and the College of Jersey. One thing about Cabrini won her over.

"When I got on campus, I felt like I belonged. It's a small setting just like my town," Scott said.

During the off-season she does not take a break. Caitlin has a coach that helps her perfect her game

Currently the team is 11-2 and is 6-1 in the conference. All-inall, Scott is happy with the decision she has made. She loves being on the team and working with the girls she's with. "The team is a great group of women. Everyone works hard and they know their role. I love doubles because I love playing with my partner Jenn." And of course she could not forget about her coach.

"Reggie is a great coach! He pushes us all to be better players and I am very thankful for it."

Her main goal is to finish out the season strong and have a winning record. She also has a personal goal." I know it might sound strange, but my own personal goal is to hit the ball between my legs in mid-air like they do on TY.''

In 2002, 17,4 l9 people were killed in crashes involving alcohol, representing 41 percent of the 42,815 people killed in all traffic crashes, according to NHTSA data.

crashes were intoxicated

The average person metabolizes alcohol at the rate of about one drink per hour. Only time will sober a person up. Drinking strong coffee, exercising or taking a cold shower will not help. (Michigan State University, 2002)

Sept. 29 - Sean Dugan (Jr, M, Philadelphia, PA/Roman Catholic) - Dugan scored one goal and added two assists as the Cavaliers notched a pair of victories.

In 2002, an estimated .17,419 people died in alcohol-related traffic crashes-an average of one every 30 minutes.

About three in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives.

In 2001, more than half a million people were injured in crashes where police reported· that alcohol was present - an average of one person injured approximately every two minutes.

The speed of alcohol absorption affects the rate at which one becomes drunk. Unlike foods, alcohol does not have to be slowly digested. As a person drinks faster than the alcohol can be eliminated, the drug accumulates in the body, resulting in higher and higher levels of alcohol in the blood. (Narcotic Education Foundation of America, 2002)

Oct. 6 - Mary Remoli (So, M, Bedminster, NJ/Bernards) Scored three goals and added two assists in a 2-0 PAC week.

The highest prevalence of both binge and heavy drinking in 2000 was for young adults aged 18 to 25, with the _peak rate occurring at age 21. • Those drivers 21 to 24 years old were most likely t~ be intoxicated (BAC of 0.08 g/dl or greater) in fatal crashes in 2002.

Binge drinking has been defined as at least five drinks in a row for men and four drinks in a row for women. (Wechsler et al, 2002)

ln 2002, Pennsylvania alone experienced 656 alcohol-related traffic deaths in 2002.

In New Jersey, 299 alcoholrelated traffic deaths in 2002.

In 2001, 2,053 alcohol-related traffic deaths occurred between the Thanksgiving and New Year's Holidays.

"Let's go white" was one of the many cheers filling the air on Tuesday, Oct. 14, when the women's field hockey team faced off against Wesley College. According to the majority of the team, strong communication skills are essential for positive play.

Head coach Jackie Neary leads her team in the communication role. Neary is spotted walk-

sidelines clapping constantly and giving her utmost support. The girls on the sidelines seemed to move with the ball. Everyone was completely absorbed in the game; it must have been in the air. Her voice can be heard on the field no matter what the circumstance.

"Jackie always emphasizes communication and playing as a team because without it there is no way we can win," junior Missy Modesti said. With 16 minutes left and the score tied at one, the Lady Cavs picked its intensity up even more.

Joanne Musiolowski,Cabrini 's goalie, the ball was picked up and hurled out to the 16--yardmarker by junior sweeperiulie Smith. This action caused the team an eight minute penalty and Smith received a yellow card. Wesley did not score during the penality stroke.

"The ball was on the line and it was ready to go in the goal cage. I just reacted and did what I needed to do in order to keep the ball out of the net," Smith said. "I just didn't want Jackie to be mad at me, or for the other team to

luckily everything was fine."

Although the communication was intense throughout the entire game against Wesley College, the Lady Cavaliers lost a tough battle by the score of 3-2. But that did not silence the team.

The Lady Cavs did not give up until the whistle ended the game. They kept on cheering and encouraging each other. Megan Farrell, a freshman. said, "When I am in the game and J hear the entire bench cheering, I feel as though they are ,all behind me, it makes me play that much harder.
