Construction of dormitory awaitsdecision

CabriniEast lightensload

by Robin Larkins The final decision a&to whether or not Cabrini College will proceed with the construction of a new dormitory on campus is scheduled to be made at the October meeting of the college's board of trustees.

If the board authorizes the project, John Heiberger, vice president for development, expressed the intent for a construction schedule that would provide the college with a completed dormitory by mid-August with students able to move into it by September, 1984.

The idea of the new dormitory was first proposed at the May meeting of the board of trustees. An executive committee and a finance committee were formed to meet and review plans, cost and funding. Their last meetings before a board decision are scheduled to take place before the end of September. The final meeting of the Radnor Township Commissioners concerning the new building is also slated to take place before the October board meeting.

According to Sister Eileen Currie, MSC, president of Cabrini College and ex-officio member of the board of trustees, "If all looks good, and provided there are no hitches, acceptance and approval will be recommended to the board. " Heiberger commented that the key issues before the board concerning the passing of the dormitory project are financing and future enrollment projections .

by Susan Baj and Lisa Di Santis Cabrini East, an off-campus dormitory, is this year's answer to the problem of dormitory over-crowding due to the increase of enrollment at Cabrini.

The dorm is called Cabrini East. It is located 4.5 miles from the college's main campus, on Roberts Road in Bryn

'The project was carefully done. I know we're doing things quickly, but six months is not too, too fast.'

According to Heiberger, many different types of financial arrangements were reviewed . The financial committee decided that the best type of funding would be a mortgage arrangement with funding up to a certain level by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. He also added that reassurances of enrollment also seem strong.

The intefl.t was expressed that the building be paid for with the money received from room and board fees students pay . Heiberger assured , "We would not increase fees specifically to pay for the building."

The ajte of the proposed dormitory, which was designed by Joseph Hennessey, architect of the Wide. ner Center, is located east of the lower parking lot of Woodcrest directly off the residential boulevard. The structure itself consists of two buildings with a connecting enclosed breezeway. The wings are two stories tall each , with the total capacity of the entire structure being 124 students, including three resident assistants and a resident manager.

According to Gus Nicoletti, director ofresident life, the gender of the dormitory has not yet been decided.

The structure was designed to fit the needs of both men and women. Heiberger said that the gender of any residence on campus can vary from year to year depending on space needs. Whether or not the building will be air conditioned also has not been decided.

The configuration of rooms are divided into suites of four double rooms grouped together . Each suite is equipped with bathroom facilities and a small study alcove. At the end of each wing are laundry room facilities. There is one large designated study area where many outlets are availabe allowing for the possible future inclusion of computer terminals in the room . There is also one large, glass enclosed lounge / TV area with a high cathedral ceiling for socializing and function purposes . more NEW DORM on 4

the residency staff at Cabrini realized there were going to be "space" problems for men as well as women this year. For example, it was discovered that 15-20 men would still be without housing facilities after placements were completed.

Mary Ellen Lilly, assistant director of resident life, is also the resident manager of Cabrini East. According to Lilly, there will be intellectual, social, and cultural programs throughout the semester . Resident assistant Lou Klock and medical assistant Maureen McKenna are also residing at Cabrini East to help carry out programs and policies.

The name Cabrini East was decided on simply as a result oflocation, according to Nicoletti . The dormitory has a well equipped lounge with a television and ping-pong table . It also has a study lounge and sports facilities including a swimming pool, tennis courts, and basketball courts. A laundry is also available .

Cabrini East does not feature cafeteria or kitchen facilities. Students eat meals in the Cabrini College cafeteria .

Students are enabled to arrive for classes , meals, etc. by shuttle vans. Some students are concerned, however, that transportation may become difficult during bad weather, such as snow. According to Nicoletti, this transportation inconvenience was cited as being perhaps the only real problem associated with Cabrini East .

However, the van schedule has been given much attention and has undergone several revisions to meet the students ' needs. The shuttle vans run from 7 a.m . to midnight on weekdays . On weekends, the schedule varies slightly to meet different meal times and other activities on the main campus.

"I thought it was going to be terrible at first going back and forth on the van ," freshmen Donna Capone said, ''but things are working out so far ." The residency tuition at Cabrini East is approximately $800 less than standard residency tuition .

"I like living here, because we're a big family, and we get along really well," transfer Lori Anderson said . The plans for another new dorm at Cabrini College are now in the process of being finalized . When asked of the possibility of this dorm being co-ed, Nicoletti said that it has been considered , but nothing is definite at this point . Cabrini East could possibly be a good model for future dorm facilities .

Nicoletti said, "Cabrini East seems to be solidifying well , because it features a very congenial group of people." '

Full time students had neither the time nor the ability to successfully run a business. Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, admits her own inexperience in business and lack of time to oversee the student run WigWam. It was impractical of the administation to expect her to. Student managers were left with no viable support system to be accountable to. Therefore, the business failed.

One of the many reasons for the shutdown of the student run WigWam given by members of the adminsitration was that hours were not suited to the needs of the campus community. This still remains the case.

The excuse is that work study hour are not yet set and that the full time manager that Seiler's employed could not train student workers in time to be opened for the 16 hours of service each day that Seile?s promised.

It is the college's responsibility acting through Sr. Christine Baltas , dean of students and Jim Keches, business manager, to make sure that the Wig Warn is opened immediately during all the hours that it is needed, not "possibly " two weeks later.

Last year Loquitur blamed student managers for the poor hours in the WigWam. This year we blame Seiler's and the college officials.

Cabriniexpandsitstremendouspotential i

As we begin the 1983-84 school year at Cabrini, we should realize the tremendous potential we have at hand. Maybe you are tired of reading about "potential" and "growth," but these are some of the positive notes about Cabrini and what better way to start off a new semester?

The key word here is potential. For the past years, Cabrini has proved its potential. Student enrollment is up, plans for a new dorm are in the works, the campus is becoming computerized, new majors and programs are being added.

Let us look at specifics. The English and communications department was revamped to provide graduates in the major with a better chance for success and employment. A new political science major was added this semester, and the masters program and the continuing education department allow for further study of chosen fields.

The key·word is potential What about growth? Just look around! When Cabrini first opened, the only buildings here were the Mansion and Grace Hall. Twenty-five years later, there are eight dorms, a new campus center, a library, Sacred Heart Hall and Rudy Rooyman's Counseling Center, a chemistry lab , and a chapel To top that off, a new dormitory is to be built.

The fact that Cabrini even needs a new dorm say something about growth .

Enrollment is up. That in itself is a real coup because enrollment for most small colleges is down. Cabrini East is nice alternative to off-campus housing.

Opportunity for job can be found through career counseling Dear Editor, .

I am writing in response to Fran Congileo's "Letter to the Editor" (published in the May 6th issue of Loquitur) which asked a valid question about the services offered by the Career Counseling Office.

The lack of opportunity for on-campus interviews has not gone unnoticed by the Career Counseling Office. However, seniors at Cabrini represent a wide variety of career interests. Few recruiters offer opportunities which appeal to a wide range of students. To explain further, during the 1981-82 school year, three employers were scheduled to visit campus - the number of students registering for each were 3, 3, and 1. All but one recruiter cancelled because of lack of student interest.

One student was hired by the third.

The question of recruiters coming on campus to interview students is addressed in the Summer, 1983, issue of the "Journal of College Placement" as follows: "Colleges and universities across the country are asking, 'Where have all the recruiters gone?' Explanations abound the ecomony, the glut of graduates on the market, hiring · freezes, reduced hiring

So far, we have only really looked at academic and physical growth. When you are done studying and ready to relax, what do you do? There is the game room, althletic events, the tennis court, dances, clubs, committees. They are all there if you want to take advantage of them.

The college offered an alternative to the usual lunch time madness by sponsoring a barbecue on the Mansion lawn followed by a performance by the rock group "The Heat ." Students spent their break lounging in the sun and shade listening to some good music. Such an event as th is just goes to prove that Cabrini ha s the true potential to provide some pleasant activities for its students.

Sports should not be overlooked . Look at the men 's basket ball team-the Cavaliers. For the past therr years, the team has won the Keystone Conference Championship prompting their move up into the new "Little Five." That's a lot to say about a school that went co-ed only a few short years ago. All of our athletic teams , both men's and women's, are showing increased strength , partly due to the recruiting efforts of the coaches.

The cafeteria is also showing improvement. They genuinel y try to help better serve the students. An example is the napkin notes the management encourages students to write so they will know what we students want and need.

The above are only a few examples of Cabrini's growth and imporvement .

Sound good? It can only get better in the future.

The staff of the Loquitur hopes everyone will continue to help Cabrini take advantage of its tremendous potential. Good luck and have a good year!

viewpoint barbara bruhin Education in the spot1ight At this moment in history, American education is in the spotlight. After over a decade of declining test scores and a growing illiteracy rate, American citizens are looking to educators and asking why? Educators on all levels are not letting the chance slip by.

Since the National Commission on Excellence in Education released a report last April, pointing at the "rising tide of mediocrity" in American education, a national evaluation process has come alive. Ernest L. Boyer, a former United States Commissioner of education stated to the New York Times, "What we have is a rising tide of school reports."

Subsequent research shows that the National Commission on Excellence in Education probably overstated its case. One report showed that significant gains in education have been made in the past few years, but primarily in the lower grades. It is the American high school that is in need of the most reform.

Stemming from multitudes of school reports is a consensus in several major areas. Most agree that the place to start reform is in the curriculum. Researchers call for more emphasis on reading and writing, more mathematics and science, and for reviving the foriegn language requirement. High salaries and improved working conditions are suggested as a means for bringing better qualified people to the profession.

Teachers allready in the classroom have been bombarded with criticism since the release of the April report. Recent reports are stating that the teacher is not always the one to blame.

The endless teacher stikes across the country stand as evidence that something is wrong. A study dale on why teachers become teachers revealed three major reasons: a desire to work with young people, an interest in a certain subject, and a value for the significance of education in society. In the school situation, however, teachers are overloaded with endless bureaucracy, lunchroon duty and interuptions from the intercome system.

Teachers must be given time to grow in their profession. Student needs are constantly changing. A teacher who receives certification and never picks up another periodical or attends a convention that is not required by the district is failing in his or her profession. Teaching is a forever learning experience.

Instead of pointing at the incompetency of the teachers we have, the present spotlight on education should point at improving the _situation in which these teachers work. They should be given more time during the school day to prepare lessons. Babysitting jobs such as lunchroom duty should be removed from their list of duties. They should have a larger say in what school curriculum should be.

Above all they need room to grow in their profession. School districts have a right to ask their teachers to become more in voled in making way for.a constant flow of change in education.

The curricula in many schools are stagnant; some have not been revised in years. Teachers may find themselves looking long and hard to even find a copy.

Too often curricula are written in terms of what looks good on paper rather than what are the needs of the students at the moment. Books such as Silas Marner are kept in the classroom simply because long ago someone labled them classics.

Even a rewriting of the curriculum every few years ends up in a reshuffling of the same material. The curriculum is then placed back on the shelf in its static position.

Leaders in education call for a living curriculum, one that helps the students to live. Students needs are constantly changing. They have been for centuries. The curriculum must change with them. It must hold constant flexibility.

A curriculum for high schools proposed in a recent and wellrespected report done by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching offers to help students get on with their lives. The greatest emphasis is placed on the mastery of English language, including writing, as the "central curriculum objective" for all students.

op1n1on tom schultz Meal linesconsistof four-way traffic To start off the new school year ori a negative note is usually not my style. I spent a good part of my summer thinking about my upcoming semester. I looked forward to the reunion with my schoolmates and the excitement of campus activities. I actually enjoy the thought of coming back to Cabrini.

The reason for the new meal lines seems to be that you can now get your hot food last and it will stay warmer for a longer period of time. This is probably a good idea. However, in their efforts to accommodate the students they may have made meal time slightly chaotic.

The tables are packed tightly together. Students have to turn sideways to squeeze through chairs. The design of table placement is very similiar to a rat's maze. The secret is finding the way out and manuevering without bodily harm or drop ping the tray.

Seiler'stakes.over Wigwam

by Barbara Bruhin Operation of the WigWam, a previously student run food sei.vice on campus has been taken over by Seiler's of Massachusetts, the college's present dining service.

The turnover occurred late in the summer after a total shutdown of the WigWam by the Office of Student Services on July 13. ''They were running on a deficit," according to Jim Keches, college business manager who aided the administration in the switch to Seiler's. "The school felt it shouldn't have to keep subsidizing them." Keches further cited poor service and bad hours as reasons for the shutdown.

Seiler's put in a bid for control of the Wig Warn according to Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities. In accepting the bid, the college asked for good service, cohsistent hours and a consistent menu at an affordable price. Seiler's is working under the school's direction Keches said.

Donna Gerhard is employed by Seiler's to manage the WigWam. Gerhard has had 19 years experience in food service and management. Gerhard is in charge of hiring and overseeing work~s, ordering supplies and keeping the books.

Gerhard began work on Sept 7 and opened for business on September 8. Hours are to be weekdays from 8 a.m. until midnight and weekends from 8 p.m. to midnight. The first week of school, Gerhard was unable to remain opened during evening hours because of an inability to hire and train enough workers.

Work study students had been removed from the WigWam after the summer of1982 because of an excess of work study hours put in and because of cutbacks in goverment allocations for the following year Keches said.

A slight increase in government allocations to the college for this year enabled the college to use the WigWam as an employment opportunity offered only to work study and work grant students according to Keches. "The college will save money ifwe use work study and work grant students," Keches said:·"We pay work study wages and get reimbursed 80 percent of that from the government. We should be able to make a small profit."

According to DiRaddo, who worked directly with Gimpel until the time of the shutdown, the WigWam has had a history of financial problems. photo by Karen Labenz "We need business expertise to run a business, "DiRaddo Seiler's Wigwam Manager Donna Gerhard said.

New Admissionsstaffsets a goal of 200 +

by D.B. Field Many of the departments on campus have gone through changes in personnel, but none as extreme as the admissions department.

There is an almost entirely new admission staff at Cabrini College. The new

director of admissions is John Dzik. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in elementary education from West Chester State College in 1972. After which he taught at Upper Darby Elementary School. "I was the first male kindergarten teacher in Delaware County." , Dzik is definitely I!_Ota "new face" on

campus. He has been here four years and is perhaps better know the director of men's athletics and head coach of Cabrini's men's basketball team. (Positions which he still holds along with admissions director.)

The most recent addition to the department is Assistant Admissions Director Athony Ferraraccio.

Two of his main responsibilities are to oversee recruitment and college days. · Ferraraccio was a business administration major at St. Francis of Loretto. He received.his bachelor's in 1978. Most of his experience has taken place at St. Francis, where he has worked in their admissions department since 1980. His first day as assident admissions director will be Saturday.

Under Ferraraccio are the three admission counselors. First there is Kevin Brennan, who comes from St. Joseph's University. His bachelor's degree is in Industrial relations which deals with personnel management. During his sophomore, junior, and senior years he worked as a photographer for St. Joseph's public relations department before graduating in 1983.

Next is Admissions Counselor Suzanne Hauss. Before coming to Cabrini Hauss work in the admission department of a business school. She graduated from Villanova in 1981 where she gave tours for admissions. Her bachelor's is in English and communications.

Laura Niewig is the third admissions counselor. She attended Wooster College in Ohio. For the past three years she h~s also worked, as a student, for the admissions department. Like Brennan, Niewig

graduated in 1983. Her degree is in psychology.

According to Dzik, the new admissions staff has set the goal of bringing in a 200 or more fre.shmen class. ''We want to attract a good, large, productive class. I feel the new residency hall will relieve the present crowding problem."

When asked how he would be able to handle three demanding positions at once Dzik responded, 1'It's a matter of priorities.

Obviously, admissions will come first then athletics then basketball."

As for a conflict of interest, Dzik said, "When I went before the 'search committee' [a group of faculty and administrators who picked the new admissions staff] , I said that if they had any reservations about me being athletic's director to express them. No one did, so I continued with the committee's interviews."

Dzik went on to explain that even if he wanted to admit a student who was atheletically talented but academically weak, he could not. When an applicant lacks academically, he or she is automatically refered to the admissions committee. They make the final decision as to whether or not the person is accepted.

According to Brennan, former Recruitment Director Carol Scarcelle is now working for the Heath Publishing Co. As for the two former admissions counselors, Judy Brogden is in Spring Garden College's admissions department, and Maryann Ribick works for the Burroughs Co. in Wayne.

Former Director of Admissions Frank Willard is presently still looking for a job,

Willard left Cabrini at the end of June.

Scarcelle left two weeks later, and the rest of the staff two weeks after that.

Regarding the whole course of activities which has been taking place since the May meeting of the board of trustees, Sister Christine Marie Baltas, dean of students, commented, "We did our homework in investigating the trend of new dorms in the area. We gained some valuable ideas from new dorms at places like LaSalle and St. Joe's. We feel the design will add a new dimension to the variety of residency we already have and at the same time will blend in with the natural features of the location."

Currie said, " The project was carefully done. I know we're doing things quickly but six months is not too, too fast." She continued about the planning process, "Not only does everybody get excited, but people are also willing to compromise for the best of the whole project."

There will be a field hockey game and a soccer game. During half-time of the field hockey game, the annual Homecoming festivities, including the homecoming court and the decorated cars of the dorms and commuters will take place.

There will also be a campus barbecue on the athletic field, which is another new feature of Parents Weekend.

In the afternoon, there will be displays by different departments and there will also be a lecture given by Dr. Jolyon P. Girard, professor of history and chairperson of the history departittent.

The President's Reception will precede the annual dinner, which has been extended to three hours allowing students with and without their parents to eat. There will also be student talent during these hours for entertainment.

The last major change is that the dance will be held in the gymnasium to allow for the larger amount of parents and students who will be attending. Entertainment will be provided by a disc jockey who will cater to the musical likes of both the parents and the students. There will also be three cash bars .

On Sunday, October 16, Mass will be held, followed by brunch .

Weekend last year, many new changes and activities will be seen during Parents Weekend 1983.

The major difference in Parents Weekend, an annual function organized by Kappa Sigma Omega, Cabrini's service organization, will be that the entire campus community will be involved, instead of just the students whose parents are attending .

In past years, students whose parents could not attend were left out of most of the activities such as the dinner and the dance.

There were also prob.lems in scheduling sporting events. During the 1982 weekend, only last minute efforts provided a field hockey home game .

This year ifthere is alchol at the party, everyone on the quest list has to be 21 or older.

The student services staff decided to make this change at their weekly meeting on Sept.14, because they had questions concerning the legal liability of last year's policy. ''This is how the rule stands now," Nicoletti said, "but we intend to continue to look into the matter."

A buddingRoseblossomsat Cabrini

by Gia DiGiminiani In her room at Maguire House, one can find the desk of Rose Battiato piled high with stacks of books ranging in subject matter from microbiology to computers , and a sign hanging overhead which appropriately embodies her philosophy, "STUDYING: COME BACK LATER!"

Profile

Rosa

Battiato

Rose Battiato is a senior biology major , who has attained a number of achie vements while attending Cabrini College, the most recent of which is an aprentice ship at the Alfred L DuPont Institute in: Wilmington, Delaware this past summer .

At the DuPont Institute , Battiato worked -â&#x20AC;˘ in the field of pediatric orthopedic medicine where she gained clinical and research experience.

She first learned of the job through a Cabrini graduate who is currently employed at the institute, and last spring, she received word of her acceptance into the program.

As part of her orientation process, she

started out in the medical library and radiology, but soon worked up into the areas of physical and occupational therapy, the child life and outpatient departments, and the operating room.

Battiato commented on the program, "It got me interested in orthopedic work, and I saw the other less glamorous aspects of the medical field."

As an apprentice, Battiato was assigned two doctors with which to work, one of whom, Dr. Pizzutillo , had a great influence upon her work . The experience culminated in the presentation of a research project for a panel of forty-five doctors. Battiato's project was entitled , "Diastematomy: A Retrospective Study and Prelim inary Report ."

In laymen 's terms, thi s refer s to a bony structure which separate s the spinal cord into two parts.

During the school year , Battiato keeps active at Cabrini as a medical assistant to Mary Mulligan, R.N., campus nurse. She also serves as vice-president of campus ministry, orientation and peer counselor, dorm counselor, and as a member of Kappa Sigma Omega. Battiato is a member of the Biology Honor Society, and has also been a recipient of the Dean 's List Award and the Rinaldi Science Award.

Tanya Bolcar , senior , Batti at o's roommate of three years, stated , "Rose is a perfectionist when it comes to school work .

She 's a dedicated worker , she 's open minded, not afraid to speak her mind , and a great roommate ."

Aft er graduati on , Battiato is looking foward to a year of working in research with a possibility of medical school the following year. Says Battiato , "I enjoy science . Sometimes it kind of stunts your creativity because everything is so calculating, but I like it . It's interesting ."

Feature:Englishand communications , Departmentinitiatescareerdevelopmentprogram

by Sandy Barone The English and communications department has introduced a new career goal program for all of its department majors.

Members of the English and communications department, including Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairman of the department; Dr. Marice Bezdek, Arthur Young, Dr . Marilyn Johnson, and Dr. Valerie Hollis, were all present.

Zurek opened the meeting by stating that the members of the department were instituting several new features in the department this year. He went on to say that several departmental awards were being introduced .

The (Jepartment will now be acknowledging several seniors graduating with distinction rather than one which was the policy in the past. This award would be based on students academic work and the students professional growth and development within the major. The second type of award that wi11be given to seniors is a departmental leadership award. This award will be based on contribution to departmental activities.

Beginning last semester, the department worked steadily on developing what they have now called a Career Development Program. Zurek went on to explain why there was a need for such a program. "We often saw, not just at Cabrini, but in general, seniors graduating from college entering a job market with ten percent unemployment in

which we know the competition for jobs in Communications in very keen." ''These students had very little real preparation for an active job search. Sure, they majored in English and Communications here, but we didn't feel they had enough to translate their course related work and their activities

What the department came up with was a four year career development program with goals for freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors . Departmental requirements beyond the required courses were also initiated. , One of the most significant changes the department has introduced is the year-end report . Each year, the students will individually provide a written report which will explain how they have met the specific goals outlined to that year.

Themes were chosen for each year, the freshman theme being self-evaluation and exploration. Johnson reviewed 'Thedepartmentrealizedthata revised the goals for this class stating , ''You will not just drift programwouldmakethe fouryearsat through this year.

Roomiesstay togetherfor better,for worse

by Bonnie Zischang Part of the college experience is learning to live with a roommate. Most freshmen on the Cabrini Campus are challenged to adjust to living with two roommates.

During the Orientation program, Freshmen were given some helpful "Triple Tips" which explains how to cope with two roommates instead of one. "Triple Tips" suggests that a threesome should sit down the first day or two and discuss each other's likes .and dislikes, habits and mood tendencies. Communication is important in any roommate situation because it alleviates some pressure that can build up and cause more complicated problems.

Tori Ryan, Woodcrest resident manager explains, "There are already adjustment problems such as living away from home for the first time, sharing living space with one or two new roommates, and trying to establish a sense of independence for themselves. They shouldn't allow roommate tension to develop because of lack of communication."

Ryan believes that although living with two roommates takes some getting used to, the triple situation is very liveable. "There is a lot of maturation involved in learning how to live with two other people," Ryan said. The most common fear that Ryan finds among new roommates is that they are not the best of friends immediately. "It takes time to develop a close, trusting _ friendship," added Ryan, "and meanwhile it is a good idea for them to seek out other

friends and different interests ." Although first and second floor Woodcrest is all triples with few excep tions, Ryan believes that "there have been few problems so far and none that could not be solved."

How long will assigned roommates stay together? Statistics show that about one

half of the roommates that are put high school but never expected to room together in the first year stay together . together.

One good example of that is Lorrie Palcik "We knew each other but weren't close and Beth Ann DiMondo, seniors, Lanshe friends before we became roommates.

House. â&#x20AC;˘ That's what made it really work out," said Palcik and DiMondo have been together Palcik. She said that they always had for four years. They attended the same great communication. Palcik added, "She's someone I can really trust, we can confide in each other."

DiMondo agrees strongly that the most important thing between two roommates is communication . "Sure," she said, "we have our disagreements but we always talk it out ." DiMondo believes that "respect is very important, especially of the other's needs."

The two roommates have separate lives and different interests but are still close confidantes. DiMondo adds, "In four years, I've adopted alot of her habits ¡ and she's adopted a lot of mine." They even have matching bedspreads and sheets. This is not to say that they never have disagreements. "Even the best of friends have moments when they clash," said Palcik.

The reason Mike Fenza and Tom Schultz, Sullivan House have been roommates for three years is because they are involved in different activities. Fenza comments, "I am a business/accounting major and Tom is an English/communications major. So our paths don't cross during the course of the day." They each have a different scope of friends and are not constantly Lorrie Palcik and Beth Ann DiMondo, seniors, survive the test of time as they seeing each other all of the time, Fenza enter into their fourth year of rooming together.

FreshmenOrientation 'OrientationOrdeal' helpsnew students

by Virginia Smith The morning of Sept. 6, we potential freshmen at Cabrini College rose with nervous anticipation (or dread) in preparation for the "Orientation Ordeal."

We each knew our lives would become radically altered during the next two days-and there was no escaping it.

By 9 a.m., the campus was swarming with us confused "frosh" and our parents, who were cheerfully assisted by people in white shirts, blue shorts and visors. These upperclassmen, who answered every question before we could ask it, were dubbed "team leaders ."

That night, we attended a Welcome Back Dinner seated with our teams . This affair came complete with tablecloths, a delectable buffet and service by the administration.

Dinner was a freshmen favorite for another reason-the after-dinner show.

Upperclassmen performed hilarious skits depicting freshmen life with memorable moments by Bert ("I pity the fool!")

Siwak and the Woodcrest Women's Choir .

Reveille Wednesday morning seemed too early no matter how late you got to eat breakfast , but who could sleep in that sweltering heat anyway?

The day was a busy one packed with rotations-mini lectures introducing us to the campus' many facets.

Students particularly enjoyed Jolyon Girard's lecture on History for the Study Skills and the Getting to know you Library Search/Contest. Those who filled out a questionnaire the fastest won balloons , records, and gift certificates.

At the Community Barbecue that evening, we freshmen had the chance to mingle ¡ with upperclassmen while enjoying backyardgrilled cooking.

Following that was what many freshmen deemed the "main highlight" -the Scavenger Hunt. Teams had to run to various locations asking upperclassmen specific quiestions about the college . The whole scene resembled a Keystone Cops movie with people bumping into each other , running in one door, out another and forgetting to write down answers .

The non-stop roster of activities kept new student s from feeling homesick and also from getting too rowdy. The family feeling made the campus homey , especially when we heard team leaders and big brothers and sisters say , "Now remember , if you ever need some help , or a friend to talk to , I'll be there ." The ''Together we can make it " theme was very apparent .

DiRaddobreaksice in new position as activitiesdirector

by Robin Larkins "A whole new dimension of freshness and vitality has been added to the office of student activities," according to Sister Christine Marie Baltas, MSC, dean of students.

Baltas is speaking of Colleen Bolte DiRaddo, the newly appointed director of student activities , who assumed office in mid July after serving in the position on an interim period since mid April when former director Marcy Nadel left Cabrini in order to have a baby .

From the time she assumed office only temporarily, to the time she was hired and up until the present, "Colleen has built on what we had and added the interest and motivation needed to search out new and innovative forms of activities," according to Baltas.

A prime example of this is the masterminding of the 1983 orientation program, which experienced a major reorganization and overhaul this summer. The plan for the program, which DiRaddo feels is such a "key event in the life of any freshman," encompassed the theme of "Together we can make it."

DiRaddo said the theme was chosen "to try to build a sense of community among the freshmen with the rest of the college and to bring out the point that you do need other people to make it at Cabrini or anywhere."

In order to bring this ideal out fully and openly to the freshmen, DiRaddo first had to instill it in the minds of the team leaders who were responsible for the freshmen during their first few days at Cabrini .

The training of these orientation counselors included extensive application processes, group dynamics instruction, and overall sharpening ofleadership skills, all based on psychological and sociological principles .

"It's a great learning ¡experience for everyone involved," said DiRaddo . "It teaches how to accomplish a specific agenda in a short period of time in a way

that affects the rest of the year and how that freshman class interacts. " Regarding specifics, the introductory newsletter, the parents program, ice breakers, rotations and the scavenger hunt are all some unique and successful features from this year's orientation which DiRaddo would like to see carried over in orientation tradition through the years.

In summing up the effect of the whole program in general , DiRaddo said, "If the students were tired when it was all over, that was good. The idea was to saturate them with as much as we could during the short period of orientation time we had with them."

DiRaddo admits, however, that there was one aspect of orientation which she didn't plan ahead for. Regarding the evaluation process , she honestly admits in a low voice, "I didn't plan ahead . I forgot the pencils." As a result of the mistake, only about one fourth of the evaluations were returned by the freshmen team members.

Aside from planning orientation, DiRaddo has experienced an extremely eventful year for herself. When she temporarily assumed duties as director of student activities, she was already serving as resident manager of Woodcrest Hall. If handling two jobs weren't enough, she was also in the process of completing her masters of science degree studies at Villanova Uniyersity in counseling and human relations. On top ofall these duties and responsibilities, she was also preparing for her June 4 wedding to Jim DiRaddo , a doctor in counseling with a specialty in relations and family dynamics, who also aided in the parents program aspects of Cabrini's orientation.

With orientation over and the school year in full swing, DiRaddo looks ahead to her office as director of student activities, which includes being responsible for all of the time which students spend outside the classroom .

SGA

19B3

Presidentaddressesstudent bocly I would like to address the entire Cabrini community, particularly the students, from my position as president of your student government association for the 1983-84 school year.

Before I begin to fully explicate my dreams, hopes and goals for SGA, I'd like to instill in you a philosophy which we hope to follow for the upcoming year, which is aimed at you, the students of Cabrini College- the reason behind any forum of student representation which exists at all. For without you, "Alone we dream," but with your support, input and ideas, "Together we can create ." In a nutshell , that is my goal for SGA- to create.

To create a viable and effe~ve medium of communication between students, administration, faculty and SGA. This we hope to achieve by opening the lines and channels of communication on campus . I would like to see SGA become a central point for the reception and dissemination of all forms of campus information affecting the students in any way.

In order to achieve this more smoothly and effectively, SGA is requiring minutes from every committee, club, and organization meeting on campus to be on file with SGA. Classes will be responsible for providing SGA with monthly updates of class activity and financial updates .

SGA at large will also aid in the process through better dissemination of agendas and minutes from all SGA meeting and decisions. Once we get an efficient filing system developed among ourselves, we hope to stem out into all of the departments of the college and request that SGA be provided with updates of activities and administrative decisions within the particular sectors of the college .

These actions will aid in the centralizing of the communications process.

To create an open door, helping hand and loud voice on campus by addressing relevant campus issues in any aspect of the college, along with community issues we feel are important to the student body in general. · We will attempt to create this image by arranging the formats of SGA meetings to take the form of student body forums where students can come not only to address activities for the upcoming week , but also to ask questions, air grievances, develop agreed upon decisions of the entire group as a whole, regarding campus issues and extending beyond into issues of the community and the world at large which would affect any or al! of our students.

SGA will look to take the initiative and develop awarenesses to campus goings on which should concern us , and compel us to

action as a student representative sector of campus. But we cannot do it alone. We all must work together towards such awarenesses. as a....... whole. ..

The creation of a new beginning for the student government association, through organization adaptable to the growing Cabrini College of the 1980's while not losing the traditional personal contact and concern of the past .

We aim to achieve this objective through the installation of a new filing system containing readily accessible information about any club, organil ;ation, committee, class, or outside sector of the college .

Personal interviews and tours of residences will be conducted by the executive board in order to get acquainted more with the people on campus and discuss with them in an informal manner any concerns or problems they may have. Within the first few weeks of school, we were over at Cabrini East, making sure the students there were readily accessible to the main flow of things on campus . We hope to do the same with all campus residences and also with the commuters to tie all types of living conditions that exist here together and unite them under one supporting force.

To create activities which will offer a diverse range of interest and entertainment within our capabilities to deliver.

Throughout the year , social activities will sprcifically address this objective along with their plans.

To create and establish the SGA pages of the Loquitur to serve and cover all aspects of student government through commentary, advertisement , and general · reporting services.

Finally, to create a rapport and relationship of mutual respect and trust between SGA and the campus at large .

I promise that SGA will do everything within its power to faithfully fulfill its duties to promote the highest standards of honor in all matters of personal conduct, to increase a sense of individual responsibility, and to encourage an active part in college affairs and cooperation in the work of self government.

Alone , the executive board can only dream and write about how we want students to be perceived and recognized here .... Together we can work as one towards creating an active, opinionated organization which dares and cares to get involved, plan activities, and shares support in the realization of all our dreams regarding students and their way oflife at Cabrini College .

Sincerely yours, Robin Larkins, SGA President

Cabrini East: a concern to SGA [/\BRIN\ E~ST~-·

(Above) Robin Larkins, SGA president, and Marie Hunsberger, SGA vicepresident, discuss the aspects of living at Cabrini East, the new off campus housing complex, with several residents.

SGA has expressed particular concern about integrating Cabrini East students with activity on the main the campus. Said Larkins, "We want these students, particularly the freshman, to know that they are as a significant a part of Cabrini College as those who live here or commute ." (Left)Larkins and Hunsberger look over the van schedule and discuss their concerns with Mary Ellen Ully, assistant director of resident life and resident director of Cabrini East. "Other than some problems with the van schedule the residents seemed very positive about their living situation ," Larkins reports . "Considering their special living conditions SGA wants to insure that they get all the attention they deserve." (photos by Jean Findlay)

Socialactivitiesoutlinesplans We on the social activities board of SGA would like to welcome everyone in the entire Cabrini Community into an exciting and productive 1983-84 academic year.

A very important part of the student experience at Cabrini in this and every year are the school's activities .

We feel that activities outside the classroom are an essential part of college life, and we hope to promote campus activity that will be both exciting and enjoyable.

Firstly , we would like to introduce ourselves to the college community. The social activities board is a committee of 0'1icers on the executive board of SGA. We~ork closely with our moderator Colleen DiRaddo , director of student activities.

Colleen has worked vigorously throughout the past summer to prepare the Orientati on program and has planned a number of diversified activities to accomodate all members '.> f the college community .

Lou Klock, chairperson, Bert Siwak, ~ssistant and newly appointed Cathy O'Brien , assistant, are the student liasons to Colleen. Our job is to come up with decent activities that all of us at Cabrini Advertisement

'SG~ Fair'spurs interestin activities On Saturday, Sept. 10, every club and organization sent a representative to the Woodcrest front lawn where tables and signs announced each club's specific interests and purpose.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., freshmen, trans- • fers, and other interested students were encouraged to sign-up for different clubs.

The club secretary could then get in touch with the students to inform them of meetings.

According to Robin Larkins, SGA president, the purpose of the Fair was to "acquaint new students, as well as old, with the various clubs and organizations on campus and to spark their interest in them and provide the necessary information and repre sentation needed to effectively recruit newmembers."

The most successful club, in relation to the number of possible new members, was S.A.M. (Society for the Advancement of Management). Bert Siwak, president of :0 S.A.M., remarked, "It was a tremendous success."

Anyone wishing to join or support a club should contact the appropriate representatives.

Gus Nicoletti, director ofresident life, recommended Calafati to the committee which was to hire the new resident manager. Nicoletti felt that since Calafati had previously been a resident assistant at LaSalle College in a male dorm she was possibly what Cabrini was looking for.

Two years prior to this, Nicoletti and Sr. Eileen Currie , president of Cabrini College, had discussed the possibility of a female resident manager in Counsel. They felt it might prove to be a positive situation in Counsel.

It seems this is exactly the case. All of the men I have spoken with are very pleased that Calafati is the resident manager . Tl)ey have very positive attitudes about working with Calafati this year and don't forsee any problems. The fact that she is a woman is irrelevant to them.

She's just one of the guys ... Francine Calafati is the recently appointed resident manager at Counsel Hall. (Photo by John Doyle)

Calafati is confident that she will be a great help to the male residents . She said , "I understand the way men feel J effFronzi, senior, said, "She wants everyone to be happy and think. As a result, I can help them with any problems they might have." She does not see being a woman as a and she wants everything to run smoothly ." disadvantage but rather as an advantage .

Calafati feels the men are more willing to cooperate with There is a mutual respect between Calafati and the men.

They know what to expect from each other. Resident her because they do not want to be obnoxious or a problem assistant, Brian Rottcamp said , "She has a lot of good ideas to a woman . At the same time they have the luxury of and seems very enthusiastic . However it's very clear that having what Calafati calls a "big sister " to talk to.

School's started, vacation's over; so where is the sign? Rumor has it that a band of rebel-rousing students have kidnapped the sign and are holding it for an undisclosed ransom agreement.

Well, we know that whoever has it is treating it well. We wonder where it's going to pop up next. Until then, the campus is left directionless and the questions remain. Keep an eye out. We will too. Stay tuned.

There is a spectrum of events, people and ideas which span the world of Cabrini and beyond for us. This spectrum of color continuously enriches, infiltrates and influences our lives by permeating the atmosphere in which we exis~.

The combining of the many different facets of our experiences enables us to create for ourselves an individual and unique value system which is reflected in our thoughts , opinions, attitudes , and ultimately , our actions .

Hopefully the institution of this regular features column will invite the reader to personally relate to the going s on in their immediate environment and the world beyond . It will go a step further and attempt to humanize and refocus frequently reported on subjects in a relatable way for the student of Cabrini who happens to also be a youn g adult citizen of the world beyond .

Just over the summer , attitudes , events and experienc es have touched our lives and have influen ced our tr ends of thought , action and opinion ...

The news of an apparent attack by the Russians on a Korean civilian jet carry ing scores of Ameri can citi zens, has had an impact which could affect our overa ll na tio nal attitude towards military and defen se spending , our policy to Russian relations , diploma t s, an d imports , and our loyalty to Amer ica as a who le t hr oughou t such a crisi s situation.

The decision of a lawsuit in favor of an anchor woman who was fired from her job because the station where she worked no longer liked the way she looked , has raised the eyes of anyone who follows the women 's movement , the equal rights movement , or any other cause which fights for equal opportqnities and against discrimination .

The success of "Flashdance" , a movie which critics around the country had rated only mediocre , has spurred fashion and music trends which have become permanently entrenched into our view of the summer of'83.

Subjects concerning our immediate environment also affect our personal look at things . For example , a story going into the causes and effects of the proposed dormitory and its impact on campus touches each one of us in a different way. Another example would be to examine the resulting effects of a decision made within a given department or major , and how it could touch our lives as Cabrini students.

Thus , this column hopes in the future to enter into the dimension of going beyond the mere reporting of facts by focusing in on the way those facts can be interpreted and stored in our own individual data banks to be drawn upon for future reference , ideas and consistent ways of thinking and doing things in a uniquely personal way.

Studentscan obtaincredit

by Judy Buck Establishing credit at a college age or without a steady job is not as impossible as it may seem. Most students feel they cannot establish credit because they have no referen ces. However, many corporations seek out college students in the credit market because many of them have excess disposable income. ¡

Irvin Penner, president of the College Credit Card Corporation, stated in an article in the June 19, edition of the New York Times on establishing credit that "the country's five million fulltime college students have $600 million in disposable income-and they are more likely to dispose of it (rather than save it) than other age groups."

To establish a relatively good credit history, you must have some kind of good credit rating that goes back at least one to two years .

According to Howard Buzzard, chairperson of the business department, employment and past credit history are of extreme importance when establishing credit. Buzzard, as well as John Ziegler, junior , feels that local department stores and service station credit cards are the easiest to obtain.

Ziegler has a good credit rating due to making loans from banks and paying off monthly installments for his many charge cards.

Although Ziegler is a biology major, he feels establishing credit at a young age is pertinent to higher and better credit rat ings in the future.

Senior David Pilla says, "Charge it!" Pilla displays his wares after a recent shopping expedition. (photo by John Doyle)

The most important thing for students to remember when trying to establish credit is that they must start at the bottom and work their way up. Instead of applying for a Visa or Mastercard , first apply for a Sears or Penny 's charge .

Establish some sort of credit by paying off your total balance as soon as it is due , then apply for a Bamberger '!, or service station charge and gradually work up to the so-called "bigger " cards.

If you are still unable to receive a charge card find out if any department stores in the area are promoting their charges.

Sometimes the store will actually approach you about applying for a card and give free gifts for the application .

When applying for your first credit card, remember your job history is very important. State all previous, as well as pre sent , employment .

Ziegler feels that the more jobs held and the more income earned increases the chances of receiving a credit card. A cosigner will also be an aid, especially if they have already established a good credit rating.

As for residency, according to Ziegler, it is better to state living with parents, therefore having zero morgage and zero rent, than dorm residence .

After having established a credit rating , try taking a loan from the local bank. A small loan will do fine . Although an interest fee will be placed on the loan, it will be well worth it to get a higher credit rating .

First, make sure there is money to pay back the loan.

Don't pay the loan off all at once, but stagger payments (as with the credit cards ) in monthly installments when due .

The most important element to remember when trying to establish credit is to always pay the bills on time !

by Dr. Joseph J. Romano Special to the Loquitur Have you ever seen a documentary on television in which some historical event is pieced together on film and eyewitness narrators frequently break in to offer insightful comments? Are you old enough to remember the pre-TV newsreels (Hearst Movietone or Pathe News) which preceded the feature movie on Saturday nights at your favorite theater? Do you enjoy the humor on Saturday Night Live?

Do you like Woody Allen's range of comedy from subtle satire to slap-stick routine?

If your answer is "yes" to all of the above (actually three out of four will do), you might want to catch Woody Allen's latest film, "Zelig."

'Zelig'vacillatesbetween cleverwit and boring buffoonery.

Runningfor only one hourand fifteen minutes,'Zelig'willprompt yearsof debateover whetherit is a shortmovie or a longskit.

Allen has forged a fake documentary that combines the real and the imaginary.

The documentary reports the phenomenon of Leonard Zelig (Woody Allen)-the "chameleon man" -who assumes the physical characteristics of the people who surround him.

Zelig talks to stout people and balk,ons to an amazing size; Zelig talks to a group of rabbits and a beard miraculously sprouts on his face. Given the proper setting of people, Zelig turns Greek, Catholic and Negro with amazing alacrity:

The Zelig phenomenon becomes an instant hit in that wild wack-a-do world of the roaring twenties . Zelig dolls (little lizards ) and the new lizard dance are right up there with bathtub gin and the Charleston.

Zelig is institutionalized in order to be studied by medical science and the more he is prodded and probed by doctors, the more famous he becomes . In an age of instant heroes, Zelig acquires the notoriety of Babe Ruth and Lucky Lindy. However , Zelig's fame is more that of a side show freak .

Only one person perceives the depth of Zelig's unhappy search for his own true personality. Eudora Fletcher (Mia Farrow), a psychiatrist on the medical team examining Zelig, cures him of his chameleon tendencies by extracting the root cause from his subconsciousness .

More fame follows as Zelig is hailed as the man who found his true identity-and then in a classic reversal, Zelig falls out of favor with the fickle public. He now becomes a hunted man.

As a motion picture, "Zelig" is basically a plotless series of vignettes in documentary form. Allen has supervised a technical masterpiece in which film appears to be fifty years old.

Shots of Zelig are also superimposed on old newsreels. There is Zelig is walking and talking on the same baseball field with Babe Ruth!

In an age that restricts film techniques to laser beams and deafening sounds, Allen's contribution is refreshingly different. New, modern color film appears only when the "historical narrators" contribute to the social story of Zelig.

Overall, "Zelig" vacillates between clever wit and boring buffoonery. Running for only one hour and fifteen minutes, "Zelig" will prompt years of debate over whether it is a short movie or a long skit .

PopeJohn Paul II seeksworld recognition

by Mark Magner Pope John Paul II has brought more worldwide attention to himself than any other pope in history. He has brought this attention to himself because of his extensive travel.,,. As one New York Times article stated in its headline, the Pope is "Using the world as his pulpit."

"Why should the Pope stay in the Vatican?" said Cabrini College Chaplain Father Mark Falcone . "He would only be a prisoner there." .Many times John Paul II has stated that he has long term goals to unite the East and West worlds through religion, but the previous popes dared not interfere with the religious oppression of communist countries.

Falcone said now because of the Pope's visits, people are beginning to realize that the Catholic church h.as a stronger foothold in the Eastern world than ever before.

.-------Heat

John Paul II is not trying to convert people. He only wishes them to seek their religious roots and have the courage to openly express their faith. His major goal is -to create a turning point to steer the church back on course.

According to the New York Times, the · driving force behind John Paul II is the realization that the Catholic church has lost much of its influence during the reign of Vatican I. The Pope has taken the religion of the Catholic church directly to the people and not only speaks it in seven languages, but has adapted his teachings to timely topics.

Unlike previous popes he tries to give as much personal attention to the people as possible .

John Paul II appeals to the common people because he fights for the oppressed, becomes a mediator between the people and the government and encourages the rich to share their wealth with those that are not as fortunate.

The Pope was acused of meddling in politics when he became involved in Poland 's affairs, but according to a recent article in Plain Truth Magazine, the Pope justified his involvement in Poland by explaining that Poland's Catholic religion and cultural heritage were one.

By supporting Solidarity in Poland, the Pope has achieved much progress, he

hopes that Poland will be "a first step in the moral reanimation of the other churches of the East , and then the West ," according to Plain Truth .

It will be difficult to see the effects of John Paul II within our lifetime. His plans are scaled for long term effects because he believes the results will be more last ing , and more positive for mankind.

In my first sports column of the year I would like to point out one of the attributes of Cabrini's sports program. I had always thought that a very positive asset to Cabrini's sports was the enthusiasm exemplified by the Men's Athletic Director, John Dzik.

Dzik has spent the last four years as both the organizer of the men's sports program and as the men's basketball coach. If you look at the record, Dzik has been successful at both jobs. Under Dzik as coach, the men's basketball team has dominated the Keystone Athletic Conference.

As athletic director he has recruited fine team coaches along with quality players and continues his quest to upgrade the program.

This year Dzik can be found wearing another hat, that of admissions director for Cabrini College. I have heard criticism on campus as to whether or not one man could wear three such hats. I have little doubt that he can't. His attitude displayed in my inteview with him confirmed my conviction that he is indeed the man for all three jobs.

"While my first priority is with the admissions office this is not to say I will put any less into the other two jobs, Dzik told me. Dzik explained that, Time management is my greatest strength. I am out to prove people wrong who feel I cannot handle my multiple responsibilities."

While Dzik's inexperience in admissions has several people worried around campus, there are those of us who doubt he will have any problem bringing students into Cabrini. In his four years as athletic director he has recruited only the athletes who have the ability to be involved in other aspects of the college and want to be "truly educated." He explained to me that as admissions director he is looking for, "good people who express a willingness to become involved and who will contribute to the growth of this school."

John Dzik seems to be a man who sets high goals for himself and works diligently for their completion. His success in the athletic program certainly exemplifies this. IfDzik improves admissions as he has athletics then Cabrini is sure to benefit. I, for one, am optimistic.

by John McQueen The field hockey team has just started another season, but not without the plague of bad equipment and controversy. The members of the field hockey team have a great deal of discontentment among them.

Some players do not feel the hockey team is totally united. Sophomore Patty Hinke feels that about only half of the team is committed. "Only seven players usually show up for practices and I feel that some of the players don't take the team serious."

Teammates Lori DiMeglio, junior, and sophomore Margaret Angelucci, agreed with Hinke when asked about team unity.

"Ifwe were totally united, everyone would make it to practices, with the exception of those who have classes and placement," said DiMeglio. "If we were united, everyone would be at practice everyday helping each other. If we did this it would show improvement," said Angelucci.

Michelle Tarbotton, sophomore, feels

the team sticks together and has a good attitude. "We stick together and encourage each other to do well," she said.

'Duringthe seasonwe are united'-Debbie Kirk.

There are many improvements the team would like to see made to strengthen the field hockey program. According to many of the players the equipment is bad and there is no money to buy any. Head coach Mimi Greenwood had to spend her own money to buy some of the equipment.

Many of the players also feel that the field is in poor con~ition to play on and sharing it with the soccer team makes it even worse. "It's horrible to share the hockey field with the soccer team and the situation is the same for the soccer team."

Even though there is much controversy among the field hockey team there is no doubt that each player interviewed loved the sport. Many of the players feel with this love and dedication the field hockey team could improve in the years to come.

"If the interest increases the field hockey team will continue to improve," said DiMeglio.

For many of the players, the program would increase much faster and be better if the program recruited. "If we want to be a strong program, we are definitely going to have to recruit," said senior Regina Law. But it's hard to recruit without money to fund scholarships. So, with little funding, a bad field and other controversies, the field hockey team has a tough hill to climb through the course of the season. ·

New leaguefor Lady Cav's

by Shelagh McGinn Cabrini College athletes are now competing in a different league. Formerly, Cabrini belonged to the PAIAW, which is the local chapter for intercollegiate sports.

The women's teams also belonged to the Eastern Association Intercollegiate Athletics for Woman. The EAIA Wis no longer in operation. Now, Cabrini belongs to the NAIA, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.

The difference in the leagues concerns Cabrini's regional status as well as postseason play. The teams Cabrini will play will also be from upper-division schools.

According to women's volleyball coach, Gerry Szabo, the effect this new division is having on the team concerns the eligibility rules. "If the eligibility rules were the same as the PAIAW, we would have no problems," said Szabo.

Apparently, the problem with eligibility has to do with sophomore transfer, Vicky Rodriguez. Rodriguez, of Puerto Rico, is not eligible to play for sixteen weeks under the NAIA rules. According to these rules, Rodriguez must be in college, attending classes, before being allowed to play.

A few of the members of the volleyball team were undecided about the significance of this new division. Sophomore Joanne Goebel said that she likes the new league because "it puts us into a more competitive league with tougher competition."

Goebel's main concern was that it will be

all the time," said co-captain Cathy Kalbach, "but we will not improve by playing dog teams.' In order to ach_ieve our potential we need to play teams that will challenge us more."

'Peoplehaveto lookat the improvement of the team as a wholeand notjustour record.The positivesideis thatwe can onlyimproveby playingharder.'

Th-e volleyball team expressing their determination to win. harder for the volleyball team to make the finals. "We are basically a division three team but we are being pushed into playing division two schools due to the new league," Goebel said.

Denise Carr, junior, states that "one problem we are going to have is that of our reputation. We ended the season with an

eighteen and four record last year and with this new league, it is going to be harder to maintain that winning status."

The team as a whole agrees that the only way to improve the team is by playing a better grade of volleyball, which will happen due to the new league. "We want to keep improving and we are getting better

The NAIA will provide these teams.

Junior Joan Johnson is happy that the schedule has been upgraded. "It is good to improve the quality of the athletic program. We have been beating the same teams for too long," said Johnson, "but we are going to need the support of the school, from the administration as well as the students."

Ann Belsky feels that the new division has a mixture of good and bad to it. ''The negative side," Belsky states, "is that the school won't be happy if we don't do as well as last year because of the upgraded schedule. People have to look at the improvement of the team as a whole and not just our record. The positive side is that we can only improve by playing harder teams."

CoachesCrowleyand O'Horalead.teams

by John McQueen Two new coaches will lead Cabrini's soccer and crosscountry teams this season. Paul Crowley (soccer) and Tom O'Hora (crosscountry). Both previous high school coaches are pleased with their new troops.

Crowley was a head soccer coach at Landsdowne Alden High School, where he coached for seven years before coming to Cabrini. He feels that he is coaching a more mature athlete at Cabrini. "The athletes here are far more mature and take on a great deal of responsibility than those I coached at the high school level," said Crowley. Crowley admitted to having a very young team (only one upper-classman) and he felt that this was one of the team's weakest points along with his lack of knowledge of opponents that the team will face.

When asked about what he hoped to achieve for the up-coming season, Crowley said, "To improve over last year's team, and to win all the games we have within our conference."

Crowley considers himself a demanding coach with a high intensity level, and he says he will insist on the teams improvememt of technical ball-handling skills.

O'Hora, who also coached on the high school level for seven years, was the troops leader for Holy Cross High School in Delran, N.J. He considers himself to be a motivating coach. "I just like to try and motivate my runners by encouraging them, because you don't need someone kicking you when you are already down," said O'Hora.

'Theathleteshere are far morematureand take on a greatdeal of responsibility thanthoseI coachedat the highschoollevel'-Paul Crowley When asked about what he hopes to achieve as cross-country coach at Cabrini, O'Hora replied, "I want to establish a strong foundation of cross-country running at this college. I also hope to improve the general interest of running for everyone on the entire campus." O'Hora claims he would never ask a runner to do something he couldn't do himself, so he trains with the team. "I have a very strong training program for my runners, and I even run with them," said O'Hora.

Soccer coach Paul Crowley Overall, O'Hora says he wants to work his team hard, so they will be competitive with conference teams at the end of the season.
