Educationmajorsvote for competency·tests

by Robert B. Marchesani

Rockingwith emotion: John Eddie, lead singer and guitarist with John Eddie and the Front Street Runners, gives his all at the second annual Superthon in a rock concert which took place in the gymnasium of Sacred Heart Hall on Friday, March 15.

Eddie moved the audience with his upbeat music as they danced around to some of his most popular songs including "Jungle Boy" and "Pretty Little Rebel."

He entertained the spectators with a wide variety of music including old favorites such as "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies. Eddie concluded the concert with his rendition of David Bowie's "Suffragette City." (photo by · Cara Graham) '

The graduating education majors of the college voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday, March 13, in favor of taking the National Teachers Examinations (NTE).

The NTE are national competency tests for teachers. According to the Educational Testing Service, the tests are already used by some states for initial certification, by school districts for selection of personnel, and by institutions of higher education for . program evaluation. ' Additionally, the tests would be used to screen prospective students for entry into a teacher certification program, guidance and monitoring of basic skills in the training of prospective students, program and student evaluations to determine strengths and weaknesses, and final evaluation for students completing certification requirements.

With the recent trend sweeping across the nation to improve the quality and prestige of the teaching profession, more states are requiring their teachers to be evaluated through the NTE or some other testing program. Within some states which do not require the tests, there are school districts which do, such as Pittsburgh, Pa. As a result, Cabrini is preparing its majors for the probability of taking the NTE by offering it to the current graduating class.

According to Dr. Ruth Sower, chairperson, education department, "We have known for two years that testing was down the road for teachers. Because of the rapidly growing changes in education across the nation, we have been forced to move a lot faster than we had planned.

What we did not know was how rapielly some states were going ahead to develo::i some sort of testing."

Beginning April 29, all those education majors who are currently student teaching will be brought back to the college in order to begin a week-long study period. The week, according to Sower, will serve to prepare the students for taking the NTE on May 6 or 7, which are tentative dates.

The tests include sections on general knowledge, professional knowledge, and specialty areas. As a result, the college will focus its study sessions on the areas of specialization with emphasis on the processes in the classroom and professional knowledge.

Sower cited an array of advantages for the seniors taking the competency tests: •They will prepare them for having to take tests elsewhere in the country since it is believed that at least 18 states and individual school district£ require some sort of a competency-test, if not the NTE. •The student may send the test scores to prospective employers or graduate schools if they desire to do so.

•Even poor results are informational because they will give the student a base from which to work for improvement.

•The test for this one time is being paid for by the college administration.

•Because it seems that most of the schools have chosen to wait and see what the Pennsylvania State Department of Education (PDE) develops, it will put them ahead of a lot of scl}ools.

"The college is paying for the testing to make sure we are well-prepared teachers.

As a teacher college, it is facing a trend of teacher accountability on the state and national level and that accountability is being measured with tests," Barbara Bruhin, senior, English and communica• tions and secondary education major, said.

Gov. Thomas Kean's recent legislatior requiring a test for New Jersey's teachers has accelerated the concern for senior Patty Hinke, secondary, elementary edueation and French major. '½.lthough I feel pressured having to take the tests on such short notice, I think they are necessary to rid the teaching profession of incompetent teachers."

Although there are definite advantages to the tests, Sower revealed areas of concern and apprehension:

op1n1on Discoveringmore through less

by Mary Kate Grimley I can vividly recall the fear and anxiety inflicted upon me by the students who had participated- in campus ministy's Appalachia project last year.

Their stories of a world without toilets, running water, electricity for blowdryers, and thoughts of living in mud up to my knees caused me to question very seriously whether I could exist without these daily necessities.

I couldn't help wondering, at first, whether I should spend my vacation at the beaches of Fort Lauderdale instead of the poverty-stricken mountains of West Virginia. I am now certain that my ultimate choice of West Virginia was the right one for me.

Even though there did happen to be showers every day, a warm bed to sleep in, and even outlets for my blow-dryer, I came to realize that these elements were really futile in leading an individual toward happiness and contentment.

Living and being caught up in a very materialistic world, it was difficult, at first, for.me to remove myself, both mentally and physically, to a state where my dependencies upon the many frivolities oflife were understood as being oflittle or no value.

Though it was somewhat painful and heart-wrenching in my earliest Appalachian experiences to view the deprivation there, I found that once an individual is stripped down to the very basics of existence, there is a genuine realization that

happiness can and must be found in the smallest, seemingly meaningless, facets of life.

In one instance, I found myself standing in the middle of a sparsely furnished room covered in filth and debris, without even a piece of glass in the door to keep out the piercingly cold air. We were burning anything in sight for warmth. But in the midst of all of this poverty, Joanne, the woman who owned the house, smiled and laughed with her young guests from Pennsylvania. Upon meeting Joanne, I was absolutely baffled as to where this woman found hope and love.

Instead of witnessing the despair I had expected, expressions of warmth, love and happiness were all that I found. The genuine warm feelings I received from the West Virginians brought me to an awareness which I had never before experienced. In seeing how easily these individuals loved and expressed themselves, I was able to more critically examine my own level of emotion and the lack of expression of these feelings in my life.

How can I so frequently be down-hearted and keep to myself when there is so very much around me for which I cannot help but be thankful? I find myself searching now for the joys found in another's words in moments, instead of material things, and in the gift of life with all of its splendor. I doubt you could ever find that on the sunny shores of Fort Lauderdale.

letter Senior commends 'Zoo· article Letter to the Editor: I would like to commend John Doyle for his article and his portrayal of "life in Counsel Hall." Speaking for the other seniors members of our dorm, I totally agree that it was a great place to live while at Cabrini College.

"The Zoo" has changed its repu_tation due to the concern of its members. Yet we are still proud for Counsel to bear the name, "Counsel Zoo." It is not a group of animals but a fine selection of young men enjoying themselves while obtaining a Catholic education.

Counsel will be missed but not forgotten. It will be missed as a men's dorm, yet the character that the men possess will carry over to Xavier. The men of Xavier will be proud to have been, at one time, a part of Counsel, and hopefully continue to carry out some of its traditions.

Even though the men will be living in a different setting they will still be the same people.

I think that Xavier will be blessed with the former residents of Counsel.

"Xavier Zoo," yeah, that has ring to it. Counsel, thanks for the fun.

~ewpoint· The boardwalk a shore thing Few thin~s can bring back memories of I the good old days like a walk down the boardwalk. When I went down the shore Saturday night, it may have been cold walking along "the boards" with the wind blowing up from the ocean, but I couldn't help but walk the length of it and reminisce.

Wildwood and its boardwalk have been a part of everx one of my summers. I always loved walking along it barefooted, even though it's against boardwalk rules, or riding bikes across the wooden slats. My dad would rent one five-seated bike for me and my sisters and we'd attempt to synchronize our pedaling so that we didn't end up falling.

There are somethings so distinct about the boardwalk, its sights and sounds. Just as I always recognize the smell of salt water when I get near the ocean, a sign that we are "almost there," and the sounds of seagulls overhead, the boardwalk has smells and sounds of its own-roasted pe_a-

nuts and funnel cake; carousel music and vendors' cries, screams from whoever is stuck at the top of the ferris wheel.

And speaking of cries, what is more famous than that recorded echo, "Watch the tram car, please." We used to get such a kick out ofmy dad when we were little and he would say, "Watch the damn car, please." We never got to ride the tram, though. We always walked from Fun Pier to Morey's Pier to Hunt's Pier; one end to the other, effortlessly. · When I went down the shore for my

senior week, it took on a bit of a different light. I saw a much wilder side, not the town where I had spent previous summers. The excitement of being down the shore, completely on my own for the first time, soon took a back seat to an atmosphere much different than it had been a couple of years ago. Wildwood and the boardwalk were more than just childhood memories, they were also a part of my growing up.

The shore is just a great place to go and do what you want to do-calm and not so calm. When I went down the shore this past weekend, I wanted to buy salt water taffys, I wanted to take a chance and spin the wheel, I wanted to play skee-ball. But, the store fronts were all covered with metal doors and few lights were lit. It's not too long until summer; then I can go and have some fun walking on the boardwalk without cold ocean water spraying on me, wearing a pair of shorts and not a coat.

Although the new major has been developed, it is being held up for submission.

The department is waiting for the Middle States review on Cabrini. "We want to be sure we're not just adding degrees casually. We want to know it will fill the need in the market place," Buzzard said. No decision will be made until the fall of 1985.

In the near future students will have easy access to information about activities and events in Philadelphia and the surrounding area, thanks to the social activities board. .

A new information service, that may be called the Information Network, will provide students with brochures and listings about off-campus events and things to do on the weekends.

Colleen Di Raddo, director, student activities and overseer of the project stated that this idea came about during a brainstorming session at an executive board meeting. The meeting was held as a result of the Middle States report and a survey done before Thanksgiving.· "The survey showed us that kids are doing nothing on the weekends, maybe going to parties here or at home," Di Raddo explained. "The city is so close and they don't take advantage of it. Having all this information together, in one centralized place, will give them an alternative of things to do."

This information would include campus ·activities, events at other colleges, weekend· sections of newspapers, maps, brochures, pubHc _transportation schedules, museum, theater and music listings. This will be consolidated in the large activities room, across from the Wig Warn. . . · _ "We are planning to take this room an4 inundate it with information for students about what they can do on the weekends," Joe Giuffre, chairperson, social activities, said. "We can't offer a lot of things to do, so now we will be able to give them options."

Gia DiGim.iniani, SGA corresponding secretary, is working with Giuffre and has been busy gathering information.

"In the future we hope to have a hotline extension number where students can call in to hear a 60-120 second tape of events .that are happening," Giuffre said.

According to Guiffre, the information should be available by the second week in April so people can plan activities for the spring.

Studentslive amidstremnantsof the past ,:¡.

by Donna M. Horsley

-:..~

A young stable boy tends to his duties in the barn, two

primadonna sisters stroll about the Woodcrest estate while the master of the Dorrance family surveys his land from atop one of the mansion's balconies.

Many visions of the land once owned by the Dorrance family in the early 1900s remain. But there are many who know little about the functions or existence of the historical structures on campus. These remnants of the past that set Cabrini apart from other colleges.

According to Sr. Maria Pasqualini, M.S.C., the mansion, gatehouse, Emmaus House, Grace Hall, Counsel Hall, swimming pool, garage and gazebo are all parts of the original Woodcrest estate.

Counsel Hall, a male residency, was at one time part of the estate's stable. "I love it," Stephen Seville, sophomore said. "There is so much history and tradition here. Every room is unique and different unlike the new dorm that seems like a hotel; ours is like a home."

Nestled at the foot of the roadside leading from the entrance at Eagle Rd. is the quaint, little cottage appearing similar to the house in the famous fairy tale, "Hansel and Gretel." Just as very few ventured near the gingerbread house, not many have sought to knock on Emmaus House's door.

"Emmaus House was at one time a pump house, but in the early 70s the sisters received a grant from Mrs. (Annal Bruckmann," Pasqualini said. According to Pasqualini, it is used by the sisters for retreats and other religious functions.

----------------------

'I remember the first two weeks of school, my friends and I walked entrance to exit, exploring the campus.'

-Peggy Emmerick, freshman ---------------------"I don't think it is talked about enough to intrigue me.

It is part of the personality of the school, yet not many know what it is used for," Maureen Murray, sophomore, said.

Behind Emmaus house is a dirt path leading to the swimming pool and a bath house. An eerie sensation sends visions of the past through the mind as weeds and high grass swallow the probably once tranquil setting; vines innertwined, climbing skyward around the wires of the fence surrounding the pool and its bath house.

"The pool was renovated in the 60s for private use by the sisters," stated Pasqualini.

Cara Graham, sophomre, said, "I would love to use the pool. To instill a better care of the facilities on campus, I think students should be made aware of the history of the structures."

. --=:J ....

The Emmaus cottage, known by students as ressembling the quaint candy house of Hansel of Gretel, rests nestled just beyond the old worn bridge. (photo by Barbara Mongelli) Fr. Mark Falcone, 0 Pream, chaplain, campus minister, lives in the gatehouse which appropriately sits at the college's main entrance. Falcone stated that during the years when the Dorrance family lived at the Woodcrest estate, the gate keeper would stand at locked gates and permit only those Mr. Dorrance gave permission to, to enter the estate.

According to Falcone, who moved in there in 1983. he was not the first chaplain to live in the gatehouse. He stated that Fr. Rudy Rooyman was the first or second chaplain to live in the house. "He died in the gatehouse several days before one Christmas; it was a very sad moment, he was a beautiful person," said Falcone.

The garages located behind Grace Hall, were once used by the Dorrance's servants. Christy Mason, freshman, who did some research into the lives of the Dorrance family, was able to learn that the family took tremendous pride in the way their servants were treated.

As a result, many of the workers had cars, and the garages were built for the sole use of holding them.

Perhaps it is the Mansion, the main building and living quarters of the Dorrance estate, that best captures the spirit and history of the time period in which they lived. Anyone can see its uniqueness by closely examining the gargoyles carved in its stones, intricate art work on its indoor ceilings, glass panes stained through age on the doors in the vestibule or the cobblestone parking lot that holds 1985 model cars.

"I remember the first two weeks of school, my friends and I walked entrance to exit, exploring the campus," Peggy Emmerick, freshman said. She remembers her reason for choosing Cabrini; its atmosphere and history played an influential part.

Reherheld in high esteemamong students

by Kathi Wachenheim

The sense of humor and never ending smile doesn't seem to coincide with the woman who is an historian of the Catholic Church, has had articles published, and has been asked by the United States Catholic Association to write a volume on American Catholic intellectual leadership.

Dr. Margaret Reher, chairperson of the religion department, has many interesting and prestigious accomplishments.

She's considered an intelligent and excellent teacher.

Mary Beth Evich, a junior religion major, stated, "She's so sweet. She always has time for you and a kind word of encouragement."

Reher, whose specialty is theology, came

from a "strong, traditional, Catholic background," but her interest didn't come until college.

In college, Reher was studying chemistry, Latin and speculative theology. She stated, "I knew chemistry wasn't for me because it is a lot like the way I cook; I never care to measure anything."

Her real interest in theology came when she wanted to take a course in graduate school, but it was closed. Instead, she took a course in theology and this began her first serious writings in her field.

Reher's biggest accomplishment careerwise is the volume she is working on for the United States American Catholic Association. "I am very excited and at the

same time can be very upset. Writing is hard work." ¡ With all that Reher is involved in, she rarely has time for herself. When she does, she enjoys reading, the opera, playing bridge and doing the New York Times crossword puzzle. She refers to herself as a logo-lept, a person who loves words.

When one speaks of Reher, it is apparent that she is held with the utmost respect.

Everyone speaks of her as a person with a great deal of warmth and understanding.

Susan Tuton, a religion professor at Villanova stated, "She takes a personal interest in her students and is generously warm towards them. Cabrini is lucky to have her."

Reher also hopes by the end of the year to accomplish the goals of the curriculum committee of which she serves as chairperson. "I hope we move into actual implementing of the model the committee has been working on for several years."

What seems to make Reher so successful, whether it be as a writer, teacher, co-worker, committee chairperson or a friend is her ability to relate and truly care about people. Senior Barbara Bruhin, stated, "Her warmth extends into her teaching."

Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson of the English and communications department, stated, "There will be students that I can't relate to where she seems to be able to relate to them. She's a rigorous teacher, but has warmth for her students."

Going Greek at fraternit

5

arties

by Bernadette Demski

Like the Olympics Games, the spirit of the Greeks is being kept alive by students of American colleges and universities through their membership in various fraternities and sororities. Attending parties hosted by these groups is an exciting and interesting way to spend a Friday or Saturday evening.

Numerous colleges and universities in the area have fraternities and sororities, such as Villanova, LaSalle, St. Joseph's, Temple, Drexel, University of Pennsylvania, Widener, and West Chester.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights are popular nights for most fraternities to host parties. But since many area colleges have several fraternal societies, parties may be held every night of the week by a different host fraternity each night. At Drexel University, for example, you may be able to attend three to five parties in just one night.

Attending a fraternity party requires a certain state of mind. Mary Lynn Febbo, junior, said, "If you are in a bad mood, do not even think about going to a fraternity party. You should be free-spirited, or you will end up being miserable. You are squished together into a room that is usually too small; it is a very close party."

Being an active participant in a fraternity party is a fun experience which allows the hard-working students to release their anxieties through rowdy, unpredictable activities.

Dress is an important factor in your preparation for attending a fraternity party. Before you step out for your Grecian experience, make sure you are wearing the right outfit. Keep in mind that smatterings of beer are sure to decorate your clothing, or soak the rug upon which you may be standing.

Maureen Talty, junior, advises wearing jeans, a loose sweater and shoes that you do not mind getting stepped on.

These parties are often held in the old, creaky rooms or the basements ofthefraterity houses, and many times the fraternity hosting the party will have a special theme. There are beach parties, all-night-watch-thesunset-rise parties, parties for different holidays, and of course the infamous toga parties.

Talty said, "I once went to a New Year's party on St. Patrick's day. At midnight, the fraternity brothers gave out hats and horns; it was a blast. I also went to a party where all the guys were required to wear coats and ties. I loved it. They all looked so good."

Witnessing the activities of the pledge brothers, those who &QPervise the induction of new members into a fraternity, can be an experience in itself. The pledgees, ¡ the perspective members, are basically the brothers' slaves. While trying to gain acceptance into the fraternity, the pledgees do must obey the commands of their brothers.

Two fraternity brothers of Beta Theta Pi, a University of Pennsylvania fraternity, are preparing for the arrival of their party guests. (photo by Gia DiGiminani) Commands usually call for the pledgee to galavant about the party in some outrageous outfit, or run out to a nearby 7-Eleven to get the brother a hoagie in the middle of the night. Mostly, they end up refilling drinking cups all night. However, many of the rituals that go on between the closely-knit fraternal members are kept very secret.

If you are curious about what goes on at one of these parties, it should not be too hard to find one. Going to a fraternity party means almost instant buddies. But Talty said, "You have to be in a wild mood, and ~ake your own fun. Sometimes you have to be a little aggressive to meet people. Go right up to a guy, put your arm around him, and introduce yourself. The same goes for guys meeting girls. Remember to laugh a lot, too."

Geralyn Christ, senior, was surprised at how much fun she had when attending a fraternity party. "I went thinking that the guys would be much more forward than they were. They were very friendly and nice. But you must always keep your wits about you at a fraternity party."

Laura Firely, junior, explains her most memorable time at a fraternity party. "It was at Villanova, and the

Job Fairoffers chance for success

by Karen Bowers

The Job Fair will be sponsored by the Business Department and Training Center of Great Valley on Friday, March 29, from noon through 8 p.m. The Job Fair will be open to college seniors and college graduates who are interested in finding a job in the immediate Villanova-Radnor area. ¡ The immediate Cabrini area is known as the "202 Corridor," and is one of the most rapidly growing business districts in northeast Pennsylvania in terms of jobs.

Maxine Ballen, a representative from the Business Department and Training Center of Great Valley, said, "The uniqueness of this whole area should be taken advantage of by graduating students. The Job Fair will open doors to many people."

"There will be 20 to 30 companies participating that are offering job opportunities to a variety of majors. A few examples of the companies attending are USA Today, Rouse, Shared Medical, Authur Anderson; Wyeth Laboratories, Philadelphia Business Journal, a day care center, a fitness club and many more," continued Ballen.

Job fairs are an important source of employment for graduates. According to the recruiting trends of the 1983-84 College Placement Council, on-campus job interviews and fairs such as the Job Fair account for 49.3 percent of the successful hiring of college graduates.

Donna Seckar, director of career counseling, said, "This is the first time a job fair such as this one is being offered to seniors from immediate area colleges. It is different because instead of on campus recruiting, the college student must go to the

companies of their interest. The companies will save a lot of money, and at the same time they can interview more people."

Robert Stokes, director of the career counseling department at Villanova University, said, "The concept was initiated because of the amount of jobs available in the area. When I talked with a representative from the Business Department and Training Center of Great Valley, we both came up with the idea of a job hunting day with the companies at Great Valley and other companies along Route 202."

'Thisis the firsttimethata job fairsuchas thisone is beingofferedto seniors fromthe immediatearea colleges.'

-Donna Seckar, director, careercounseling "This fair will be similar to the Christmas Job Fair that was held in Philadelphia. But since the Job Fair is being held in the spring, more students will be more prepared to take advantage of the job opportunities by bringing resumes and having on-thespot interviews."

According to Seckar, the fair will be set up with each company having representatives at their company's display where they cam talk with the students in a personal manner.

Seckar said, "I would really like to see students go out and take advantage of this fair. It could mean a job for a lot of people."

song 'Bye Bye Miss American Pie' came on. Immediately everyone put their arms around each other and started swaying and singing. I was hugging people I did not even know. It was one of the happiest times I ever had at a fraternity party. I felt like I was part of one big family. It was certainly an example of the brotherly fraternal love felt at a fraternity party."

Dave Febbo, junior, a transfer from LaSalle University, is still an active member of his former fraternity. '½.fter a week of classes, I look forward to the relaxation I feel at the party. I dress very casually, usually in jeans and a nice shirt. A lot of brothers wear their fraternity colors to show their spirit. For me it is a very casual time where I can relax and just be with my friends."

It is also an opportune time to meet members of the opposite sex. Febbo said, "Most guys usually ask if someone knows the girl they are interested in, and ask to be introduced to her. If not, they will intrbduce themselves."

Kathy Toto,junior, is a bit more forward in her actions, "I just turn around and start talking to the guy next to me, or turn around and drink a guy's drink. I will make conversation, just say anything."

Lucky Charms:

Is thereany magicin that oldpair of socks?

by B.J. Petracci

There he is, the ever famous Wilt Chamberlain. How many records did basketball enthusiasts see him break?

How many other basketball players did he inspire? Wilt "the Stilt" Chamberlain did more for basketball than just about anyone who had played the game before him and very few after him. Who could have imagined that while he was accomplishing all this he wore a useless little rubberband around his wrist?

Why would an exceptional basketball player depend on something so insignificant as a rubber band? No one and probably not even Chamberlain himself would have the answer. There are a great number of athletes that use a little something special to give them what they consider to be that special edge.

For some it's something that they always wear, for others it's a special ritual they go through and for others it might even be a particular food that they eat. Phil Esposito, former NHL all-star, always ended a meal before a game with ice cream and chocolate sauce. His wife told a story about when once she put out his ice cream, but had forgotten the chocolate sauce. Esposito took one look at his ice cream and shouted, "Where is my sauce?!"

Chris Smith, sophomore, cross-country runner, always ate spaghetti before a meet when he was in high school. Smith said, "I am very superstitious. The things I do are all just a sense of security for me." Now of course for Smith, spaghetti is an energy food that most runners do eat, but there are other foods that could be substituted yet Smith would not. Why? The question could probably best be answered by his own statement, "It's just a sense of security for me."

For others it is an exact ritual that they must follow before they ever engage in their competition. Tony Taylor, the Philadelphia Phillies' retired second baseman, al ways holds the fat end of the bat and prays before batting. One might wonder what prayer has to do with superstition, but the superstition is evident in the fact that he must hold a special part of the bat.

Tom McGowan, senior, basketball player, also prays m a special way. He said, "Before a game I always say an 'Our Father' in a certain corner of the gym." McGowen can also always be seen making the sign of the cross, before each and every foul shot.

Yet for others it is that same thing that they must use or wear in order for them to feel comfortable while competing. Michael Jordan, star of the Chicago Bulls, broke into the professional league this year setting it on fire, just as he had done in the NCAA. However, Jordan has not forgotten his days with North Carolina, where he attended college, because under his new Chicago uniform, he still wears his shorts from North Carolina.

Like Jordan, Butch Goring of the New York Islanders still wears the helmet he wore as a child. It is obviously too small for his head as anyone can see, but he wouldn't trade it for even the best helmet in the NHL. Why do some athletes care so much about what they are wearing? As Dave Long, junior, cross-country runner, said, "An athlete has trained long and hard for their _competition. They don't want any little thing to distract them from their performance." Long has nothing special that he wears, but he warms up the same way every time.

He does the exact number of sit-ups, jogs with the team and must always spend time by himself before a race. , Michelle Tarbotton, junior, basketball captain, wore the same pair of socks with her high school's name on them, for her first two years playing with the college's team. She said, "Sometimes I would do a whole load of wash, just to make sure those socks were clean for the game."

At the end of last season, Tarbotton's socks were worn so much she couldn't wear them anymore. So before this · season started, her boyfriend bought her a new pair of socks. Tarbotton now wears that pair of socks for every game.

Just like Tarbotton with her socks, "Pistol Pete" Maravich, star of both the NCAA and NBA, was always seen wearing his big, baggy, gray socks that he had worn sin~e ~igh school. Was th ere any magic in th at pair of Michelle Tarbotton takes a shot while wearing her lucky soc s. socks. (photo, by John Doyle)

Sportsworld offers women options·

by Michelle M. Bamber

These days, women are venturing into all kinds of things. It's not easy for them to fit in some places, but many seem to be finding a home in the sports world.

Women compete in sports at all levels.

They get mentioned in statistical columns and the local paper, although I've yet to see anyone go out on a limb to finance a professional women's league, or even think about starting one. It's not that they aren't taken seriously, only that it's often "understood" that women end their careers as athletes after college.

If they don't opt for a career, there is the Olympics, where they can be amateur athletes and compete on an international level.

There have been lots of times that I've turned on ESPN (a cable sports channe_l) and been able to watch women ~ompeting in volleyball, softball or swimming. The women are just as intense as the men, but equality is not the issue here. The issue _is that women have found a place in sports.

The field of sports, speaking literally and figuratively, offers women options.

The tennis court and the field hockey field as well as the other end, like the one in which I am involved, sports journalism.

Female athletes often turn to other. areas of sports when they no longer feel the drive or the well-being to compete. Donna deVarona, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming, became the first woman on network television (ABC) in the sports broadcasting field.

She has covered three summer Olympics, the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, and was a sports reporter for NBC for five years-quite an impressive record for a person who spent most of her life in a swimming pool. By being a swimming commentator, de Varona can still be around the sport she loves so much.

In addition to deVarona, Kathleen Sullivan was a commentator for the summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Former figure-skating star Peggy Fleming is another woman who was able to use her athletic talent in a different way. Fleming has been under a contract with ABC for the past four years. She covered many of

the skating events of the 1984 Winter Olympics and has been referred to as a "believable expert."

Charlsie Cantey, a horse enthusiast, began her career at CBS as a specialist doing features about horses, horse people, and racing events. Last year, she branched out and ·covered the National Basketball Association playoffs, the America's Cup boat races, and features on football.

Even Phyllis George, a former beauty queen has broken into the field of sports reporting. She was on CBS's "NFL Today" and knowledgeably filled in the Sunday viewers on the the games and point spreads.

But, do you have to be a great athlete, contest winner, or famous to get into the field of "glamour sports?" How about ' coaching or turning the sports experience into something else?

Former Olympic gold-medalist Dorothy Hamill is now a star of the Ice Capades and Linda Fratianne is a member of the Ice Follies. Bqth of these women have opted'to give back some of the rewards they reaped. from Olympic competition.

Evonne Goolagong, tennis pro, advertises her own clothes and tennis shoes, while Chris Everet-Lloyd takes the Nestea plunge, proclaiming that its iced tea is the best. Of course, these stars advertise for the sole purpose of selling the product, but they too have found an untraditional sports area.

The wives of the Philadelphia Flyers have developed a way to become active and use their position in sports to the advantage of others. They organize the ''.Annual Fight for Lukemia," for which they work all year.

Many women become physical education instructors or coaches, for-example· Helen Goodwin, the women's athletic, director at Cabrini. A position such as hers, although not glamourous and nationally recognized, says a lot for the area of women in sports. She teaches others the importance of fitness and competition.

Hopefully someday I'll be a famous sports journalist. I know for a fact that my local paper has a woman sports reporter, and she told me that she's "not afraid to walk into any locker room."

It was a close game. To be exact, it went down to the last few seconds of the game and after they had clicked away, the Cavaliers had been defeated by seventh seeded Marycrest College by a score of 70-71.

Leading the team all the way was Karl Sartor, sophomore. Sartor, who was the team's leading scorer, finished the game with 15 points, giving him a career total of 580.

In the first half, the Cavs had fallen to a 20-6 deficit, but responded with a surge, outscoring Marycrest 24-15, cutting their lead to only five.

However, he was not only sinking buckets, he was also capturing rebounds and Sartor finished as the leading rebounder with 11, six defensive rebounds and five offensive rebounds. He finished this season as the team's leading rebounder with an average of 8.5 per game.

Middle States:Thereportbehind the scenes

by Robin Larkins, SGA President It was about two years ago when I first began my involvement in the Middle States self evaluation process of Cabrini College. I received a note in my mailbox from Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC, president, requesting my service on the steering committee of the self evaluation which would culminate with a Middle States Association team visit in March of 1985 to reaccredit and reexamine the status of Cabrini College.

I wasn't even SGA president then. I was a struggling sophomore class president trying to raise a buck to run the Sophomore Senior Farewell. Initially I had thought that Sr. Eileen had broken down and decided to but some pretzels off of us or wanted to yell at us for bothering the sisters too late on Wednesday nights. So much has transpired since the committee began meeting that looking back sort of gives it all a new perspective.

I learned a lot about Cabrini while serving on the committee. I learned about group dynamics, the administrative framework at Cabrini, and how everything ultimately comes together (sometimes seemingly miraculously). I confess that it's still weird to observe two administrative

members disagree on a point of interest, but a further realization was made in that they are human too and act and react in much the same way as we do when we're meeting and discussing things.

I remember how I felt intimidated at first when I wanted to say something, ask a question or interject a point (much as that may seem hard to believe).

In the end I realized how the operation and structure of Cabrini is that of a corporation and that the same stategy and structure theory is most applicable in analyzing its trends and projecting towards the future. The adherence to the constant self study team set to remain in place as a Master Planning Committee even after the evaluation and reaccreditation process is complete is a good strategic move in providing a more structured planning and overview body of the college.

It's weird to look back even over the time we were preparing for Middle States and see how much has happened and changed here. When we started meeting, there was no such thing as Cabrini East, and now that has come and gone. Xavier Hall still comprised the wooded part of our 110acres.

The roadway leading up from the gatehouse was two-way, there was no cross country team (which has formed and devel-

It'sover,we survived Superthon'85

oped into championship form), the basketball team had never visited Kansas City to play in a championship tournament, Gus Nicoletti was calling the shots in resident life, Colleen DiRaddo, director of student activities, was a resident manager in Woodcrest Hall, Loquitur was biweekly and had never even conceived of computerized typesetting and paste-up, and issue wi.se, no one was even thinking of coed dorms at Cabrini, because everyone was still remembering when alcohol was allowed at all dances and social functions.

Times sure do change fast. Here it is March, 1985 already. After countless meetings, thousands of pages of paper and data, a newly formulated misston and goals statement, a 224 page report with an emphasis on planning and the masters program, hours of evaluation, review and revisionCabrini College is ready to meet Middle States starting on Sunday, March 24 and lasting until Wednesday, March 27.

During this time period, most of the campus community will be involved in facilitating the evaluators in finding out all they can about Cabrini College. One of the learning experiences of preparing the self study document was that as a whole, . the college was not afraid to examine itself

in its entirety- strengths as well as weaknesses. All is not paradise in Cabriniland all of the time and the college is not afraid to admit that. This honesty makes the college's self study all the more credible, and all the more a tool in future planning and priority setting.

The key to the entire visit is that the visiting team see Cabrini College as it really is. And if you should happen upon one of the evaluators in passing conversation or in organized meetings, do not be afraid to be truthful and honest in your remarks to them. No one would gain anything from a false picture of the reality of ljfe h_ere.Show them what you see- that's the purpose of their visit here: to experier 'e Cabrini as we experience it, the students who derive the experience of the educational process here- the purpose of the college's very existence. Future issues of Loquitur and SGA will be addressing the results and feedback from the visiting evaluating team as well as addressing specific recommendations brought to light in the self study document itself. We encourage every student to generate within themselves an awareness of the report and the findings of the team and ask questions, make comments and thus facilitate the implementation process.
