Because of the recent anti-drug campaigns, and the influx of drugs into campus communities, Loquitur has set aside this issue to focus on the problem of drugs in all areas of college life.

teachers from Cabrini and surrounding colleges in the Widener Center Lecture Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 14. Hayes described what she thought were the most important traits involved with her career and suggested pointers for students interested in the field. "My job is to tell the news as concisely as possible and as simply as possible," Hayes said. "The lifestyle that people live today requires news in capsule form." According to Hayes, a strong journalistic writing background is a crucial factor for her job. "I'm still learning to write," she said.

'My job is to tell the news as · conciselyas possibleand as simplyas possible.The lifestylethat peoplelive today requiresnews as capsuleform.' -Jackie Hayes,TV news broadcaster "Homework doesn't end with college. Research is so important in TV today," Hayes said. According to Hayes she reads the newspaper every day before going to work to make sure she knows what is news. "There are a lot of people in the news business and we (broadcasters) couldn't do it without them," she said. "It's a team effort." Hayes believes determination and hard work are ground rules in working toward a career in broadcasting. '"l'he competition is fierce, but for those who want it, they can get it," she said. "You've got to be prepared to make sacrifices." "Most of my (work) days are 10-hours long," Hayes said. "I go to work, I do homework and I sleep." Hayes concluded with what she feels are the three most important things to rememberin the broadcasting career. They are: determination to do a good job, physical and mental fitness and always remebering to say "thanks."

Based on what she hears, Lilly believes that drug use (pot and cocaine) on campus, in relative terms, is about the same as other colleges in the nation. For heavier drugs, she sees it as much less. Lilly has never ran into a problem with LSD or hallucinogens. ''It (student drug use) was more in high "Rebaot'ttnm ~,•one'fteshman said. "'Mte risks are just too high if you get caught. At Cabrini it's really just alcohol at parties." Campus opinions vary in response to the campus drug policy and how drug users should be dealt with. "I think the penalties are too drastic and too harsh," one freshman said. "I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you are keeping it to yourself, and it's cool and not hurting anyone by dealing it."

Other students had a harsher view on drugs. "People who use hard drugs (such as heroin and LSD) should be kicked out because of the seriousness of the drugs," John Gianelli, senior, said. ''It should not he a school problem," Mike Ciaccarello, freshman, said. '"l'he person should be handed over to the police like in the larger universities." Ciaccerello also said that counselling users won't help. "A lot ofmy friends are in· counselling, but as soon as they get out, they go out and buy more drugs. Counselling doesn't work." Also seeing the effects drugs had on his friends, another freshman commented that counselling for an individual won't help. "Once they were put back into the environment they'll pick up the same habit," he said. "There should be group counselling classes that students should have to take." Lilly disagreed with this statement. "We found that the best education occurs in a one-to-one mode, where resident assistants have one-to-one contact. We don't tend to have a very good response to group programs." Lilly did say, however, that Cabrini had a good response to "Tuesdays," Cabrini's non-alcohol night club. Lilly considers the event a general education program because it shows that students can have a really good time without being drunk or high. Cabrini's health services also has infomation available on alcohol and drug abuse. Fitzsimmons concluded that the college's policy is one more area in which the college hopes to reinforce its priority to teach students to make responsible decisions in all their life tasks.

'High'aspirationsfor future generation Drugs are commonplace anymore. Not only are we hanging out at parties drinking alcohol with our friends, but more than enough ofus are getting high on drugs. Marijuana, free base cocaine, crack, heroin - the list goes on. According to reports in professional medical journals, the first experience with cacaine could cause a heart attack or stroke if the user has a pre-existing heart condition or weakening of a blood vessel in the brain. Isn't this something to think about?

Valuablelessonlearned the hardwa~=-------------"I never thought it could happen to me." Such an over-used and lame excuse and yet that is exactly what I am thinking right now.The other night, while at a party down at Temple University, main campus, my car was broken into and my pocketbook, and the pocketbooks of my two friends, were stolen. Gone was not only money ($100. of mine) but also keys, pictures, credit cards and other personal items. The money could be reaccumulated, the keys replaced, and the credit cards cancelled, but what could not be replaced were the pictures and other personal items taken. Small, seemingly unimportant things, - a key chain from a special place, a new wallet from a special person, not two weeks used, pictures of family and friends, a gift from a boyfriend, all precious to us, all useless to the robbers, all gone.

party, and with four big guys with us, we didn't think we had anything to worry about. We were wrong . As our loss set in, we became outraged. How dare anyone take our things? We had worked long and hard for our money, only to have it stolen by someone in a matter of minutes. In one night, two short hours, we had lost everything, for as they say, a girl's life is in her pocketbook.

We are not assuming that all of those who party, party this hard, but too many do. Drugs are openly being offered all around us. For a long while now we have Our first reaction to the theft was shock been aware of drugs. We know that they aren't good for you except maybe those and sadness. They had broken a window, purchased over- the-counter, but now even over-the-counter drugs are being reached in, unlocked the door, and the rest, as they say, is history. They had taken not misused. Where does it end? Or doesn't it end anywhere?

"Who in the hell gave them the right to steal our things?," we asked ourselves. "No one" was our answer. These people don't cai:e about right and wrong, they only care about themselves.

What is our world coming to? Many people are aware of how damaging drugs can be, yet they still use and abuse them. And the problem is only getting worse. We aren't helping either because we are accepting it. Ir'drugs seem to be becoming, or already are a dominant part of your life today, think of your future; think of your children, think of your potential careers, and think of all of the things that you want to become. We are too young to let an ageold problem, that is becoming much too familiar to us, ruin our generation.

The only things I have left from that night are my license (which, for some reason still unclear to me, I had taken with me), $20. (also with me), a paycheck stub (obviously a momentum from the thieves to let me know how much they had stolen from me), a lipstick and vaseline tube, my anger, and experience.

only our money, but all of our purses, one of which was brand new.

Our next reaction was anger, not only at those who had done this, but at ourselves. How could we have been so stupid? Being the naive suburbanites that we were, we followed the old "out of sight, out of mind" philosophy and had hidden our pocketbooks under towels and seats. Of course, it never occurred to us that the shadows we saw while locking the doors were watching us to see if the girls were carrying their pocketbooks.The only thing we were leery about was walking to the

However, as my friend reminded us, at least no one was hurt. This we must me be thankful for. Yes, we are thankful, but we are still mad. I don't think any of us will lose that. And next time, we won't be those naive suburbanites.

Resident takestime outforcommuters by Denise Civa Some of us here at Cabrini take our residency, and the advantages that come with it, for granted. Ifwe have a class at 3:30 and leave at 3:27, we know we will still make it with no problem, but what if we lived a half-hour away and there was traffic and it was raining, then what would we do? What if it was time to vote for class officers. Fine, no problem, at lunch or dinner we, as residents, would vote, but what about the commuters who don't eat in the cafeteria where voting takes place? What do they do? These are just two examples of the differences and problems commuters find themselves in many times. Personally, as a resident, I really haven't thought too much

about how some things affect commuters. It seems that many other people haven't given too much thought to their situation either. Residents seem to take many things for granted. Recently, while I was talking to some commuters, I was enlightened to hear just how different their worlds can be and how they feel about being commuters. To begin with, many commuters I talked to believed that they would never want to become residents. Some felt they would become too restricted and lose many of the freedoms that they now enjoy. Others believe that it would be interesting to try out being a resident for a while, but believed the problems such as roommate difficulties, cafeteria food, and limited space would soon overshadow the advan-

Whafsthe score? Dear Editor: What's the score? Why is it that you can't even find out how the Cabrini teams are doing in your own school paper? As a Cabrini supporter who doesn't always have time to attend all the sporting events, but bas a real interest, I'd really like to know what's going on with our sports program. It's bad enough when you can't find scores in the Philadelphia papers. They are more interested in selling papers by covering the pros or major college events - but what is your reason? As the coach of the Cabrini men's cross country team, I'm called upon every week to select an '½thlete of the Week"- yet there isn't even a mention of the team hav-

ing won or lost. While most coaches are more than pleased to single out individual effort, it's the team's performance that is of real importance. Most true athletes do not train hard and give their maximum effort to get their name in the paper. They do it for self- satisfaction and cherish the thrill of testing their abilities; still it would be nice if their schoolmates could read about them. I shouldn't have to ask around to find out if the volleyball team is having a winning season.

Sincerely, CoachTomO'Hora

tages they would hope to gain. Many people on campus, including teachers, don't always take into consideration such things as distance,jobs, and time itself when planning lectures or meetings. This makes it difficult for those who don't live here. People usually assume that all students are residents and are free at any time, either day or night, to meet. This seems to be a big problem for commuters because their schedules and traveling time tend to conflict with these assignments, lectures, and meetings. Another problem experienced by commuters is notification of activities, club meetings and events. Many times, signs and posters are hung in the dormitories and near the cafeteria, but unfortunately, nowhere conveniently visable for commut-

ers. Usually commuters find out about these things too late for them to do anything about them. And what do commuters do between classes when residents go back to their rooms? I discovered that there are two main places to spend free time - the Wigwam and the commuter lounge. Others try •and schedule all their classes in a row, usually starting early in the morning leaving the afternoon free for projects and clubs. Overall it seems that commuters don't have it too bad. The advantages and disadvantages tend to balance out, making the relationship between the students and the college a happy one.

EvenCabriniexposedto drugs by Christy Mason Some contend that college is not "real life" but rather a four-year fantasy land where students can temporarily hide before entering the "real world." At Cabrini, many have this same view. Cabrini is a small, liberal' arts school, tucked neatly away in the suburbs, where a strong looking iron fence separates it from the rest of the world and its influences. While Cabrini may be tucked away in the suburbs and is mostly surrounded by the iron fence, part of that fence has been taken down and the gates allow easy passage to the outside world. The outside world can easily influence students on this campus. Often that influence includes substance use and abuse. "It's foolish to think that there aren't drugs on campus," Mary Ellen Lilly, director of resident life, said. "I know that Cabrini is the real world. I don't expect it to be any different." ''Whoever wants to do it does it," Donna McBride, senior, said. According to many students, drugs are frequently seen at off-campus parties where Cabrini students are in attendance. "I don't see it (drugs) on my floor (third floor Woodcrest)," Molly Fenerty, junior, resident assistant (RA), said. "I was at an off-campus party where Cabrini people were using drugs." ''At off-campus parties, drugs are available," sophomore, male, resident, said. "Most people go off campus to do drugs. They're more readily available off campus." "I haven't seen many drugs on campus," Jo Long, sophomore, said. "I haven't seen any drugs in Woodcrest," Christine Quinn, freshman, said. "I've heard people saying 'I just got high.' I hear

about it now and then, but l've never been exposed to it or seen it." While drugs are known to be used on campus, most contend that drug use is never blatantly used. What is done is usually done outside of the dorms. "People don't smoke (pot) in the buildings," Anne Marie DeCurtis, freshmen, said. "It's usually done outside." Marijuana or "pot" is one substance other than alcohol, that seems to be most used by students. Cocaine and its derivative "crack" does not seem to be used by many students, although cases involving cocaine have been brought to the attention of resident life. "Some guy (Cabrini student) came up to me in the Sacred Heart parking lot and asked me if I wanted to snort a line," sophomore, transfer student, said. "I've never seen coke in this dorm," junior, male , resident said. "There's more girls involved with coke than guys," he said. Many students said that they would rather smoke pot than drink. "It's easier and quicker to get a buzz off pot," sophomore, male, said. "You sit down and drink your face off and it could take two to three hours to get drunk, whereas you can smoke a joint and get a buzz in ten minutes." According to a junior male, he does not consider whether or not the marijuana he purchases is laced with any other substance. "You usually buy it from someone you know," he said. There has been concern among students as to the consistency of the drug policy at Cabrini. Some think that the· policy has weakened, making it appear as though substance use is more accepted today than in years past.

"The campus continues tobe anti-drug," Lilly said. "Maybein meeting the challenges the drug situation offers, we've become more sophisticated in our response to it.'' "We want to show concern for the individual using drugs," Lilly said, "whereas initially, perhaps the policy was more punishment-oriented." Lilly said that each situation is different, and that according to the situation, those involved, the degree and frequency of abuse and whether or not drugs are being used or sold are all weighed in determining the ultimate consequence for the individual involved.

'Whoeverwants to do it, does it.' -Donna McBride,senior Although many students claim to never have seen or been involved with drugs on campus, they are here. According to Lilly, approximately 25 students from Cabrini sought help from the Fairmont Institute in Philadelphia last year. "It indicates a problem is here," she said. In 1984, one student was arrested for dealing drugs. In this particular case, a room search was conducted. This was only one of three room searches Lilly has had to conduct since assuming her position as director of resident life in 1984. The student involved was asked if a room search would yield any drugs or drug paraphernalia. Had he admitted that it would, the situation could have been handled internally. However, he denied any charges against him and was thus arrested by the Radnor police.

.

- "It (room search) is the most distasteful thing I have to do," Lilly said. "You can't imagine it. I did it three times and hated every single time. It gives me a weird feeling just thinking about it." According to Lilly the college has a good rapport with the Radnor police and in one particular case she did turn to the police when strong suspicion of drug use on a student's part was determined. "You can't hide the fact that drugs exist in the houses," Betty Hogan, senior, said. ''There's one certain group that has experimented with drugs since freshmen year." "Girls have spoken to me about drug use within the dorm," Linda Panetta, RA, first floor Woodcrest, said. "I know people who get high two times a day," a sophomore, male, said. While drugs do exist in this small suburban college, usage does not seem to be wide-spread and students said that they feel no pressure to use drugs.

"I don't feel pressure to do drugs," Lisa Catini, senior, said. "I don't feel that therel! pressure to do drugs on campus. People who do drugs respect those who don't. If people say no, it's respected.'' "I don't feel pressure to do drugs," DeCurtis said, "because I do what I want to do.'' ''There's no pressure at all to do anything here," Quinn said, . "If alcohol is considered a drug," Annmarie Baeurle, sophomore, said, "then there well may be a problem here. Very seldom have I been at a party where there's drugs. There's no pressure involved," she said.

CampusSound:

Successachievedthroughhardwork by LeahCascarina

There is a certain group on campus, with the administration's approval, that just seems to want to party all the time. They are at dances, socials and reunions, tirelessly playing the tunes and whirling a variety of small, black discs, while hordes of dancers pound their feet to the beat of the music. If you haven't guessed it already, these bunch of music-happy individuals are none other than Campus Sound. Although it is easy to see the group's s\lccess today, Campus Sound, from the start, had to struggle to get off the ground. Because of financial difficulities, the club had a hard time getting organized. Apparently, a member of a previous disc jockey club stole a lot of the equipment and records supplied by the school before Campus Sound formed. During the first semester of1983, Mark Magner started the disc jockey group with Frank Cheeseman. Other members were Larry Aquino, Alan Reyes and Tony Bowden, then juniors. They originally called themselves the "Jockey Club." Spring semester of 1983, the name "Campus Sound," was settled on. They formed the group because they found that there was a need for DJ's on campus. ''There was definitely a need with all the dances on campus," Murray said. We also felt that the campus needed DJ's who knew what the campus wanted to hear â&#x20AC;˘ and was less expensive than the competition (the Pros)." The first semester of 1984, the group started to rebuild. Through budget allotments and SGA loans, Campus Sound was able to acquire the equipment they needed. After doing a number of gigs, the group was able to pay SGA back in a very short period of time. With the extra money they made from these gigs they were able to buy even more equipment. During their unstable period in 1983, the group was still infrequently used, playing only two major dances.

Murray said that it wasn't until his sophomore year (1984) that the group really pulled together as a "business." ''We took people and made them specialize in certain areas, such as equipment maintenance, music selections and DJing voices," Murray said. "Pulling ourselves together showed SGA that we were serious." ''We were in full force my junior year (1985)," Murray said. "By reinvesting the money back into the club, we were able to buy more modern equipment one piece at a time." Concerning their equipment, Bowden said that it is all pretty much up-to-date. Turntables are pratically new and the speakers, although old, will last awhile and serve their purpose, which is to play the music loud. Last year, the group's "gigs" included: ''Tuesday's'' (Cabrini's non-alcoholic pub), dances, bowling nights, coffee houses, offcampus parties, homecoming, lunches, dinners and the Mansion's reunions. In 1985, they won the Club-of-the-Year award and, according to Murray, had the best financial tum-a-round than any club in Cabrini history.

It is this kind of success that gives Campus Sound confidence to not feel threatened by their new competition, the "Delta DJ's." ''It's goodcompetition, much like the real world," MurrJlY said, "although I still think we ha.vea strong foothold on campus because we know what the campus wants." "The competition doesn't bother me," Tony Bowden, music director, said. "In fact, it might be good because the activities would be split up, whereas last year we did everything and it got a little tiring." "I wish them luck with dealing with the hassles we have with trying to please all of the people all of the time," Mike Fallon, treasurer, said. "If they want to be their own enterprise, that's fine with us, but we're more established. We'll let the campus decide."

What do you do if you're concerned about excessive speeding and accidents that may occur? If you're Dan Neyer, director of security, you first let others know of your concerns and how you might solve them. In a memo to Michael Caranfa, director of physical plant, dated Sept. 23, 1986, Neyer made a two-fold request: that speed bumps be installed along Cabrini's main road between Xavier Hall and the Mansion to cut down on speeding and that both the front entrance at King of Prussia Road and the entrance/exit at Eagle Road be closed off for a certain amount of time each night. Neyer said that students and faculty alike have complained about people driving too fast along the main road. "If one was to observe that road for a halfhour, at least a dozen cars might be going at speeds far above the 15 miles-per- hour limit," he said. "I'm really pushing for the speed bumps," Neyer said. "I feel somebody's going to be hit soon." It is his opinion that the danger justifies the cost of putting them in. He does realize though that the bumps would make snow harder to remove. "The big disadvantage is that people have to go slower," Neyer said. It is his hope that the second measure would also help cut down on accidents, as there was 11 during the 1985-86 school year, particularly at the Eagle Road entrance/exit. "It's still at the discussion stage, but Dan is thinking about doing it," James Fitzsimmons, dean of students, said. "He tells me that it's slippery when wet and a danger because it's a winding road."

According to Fitzsimmons, the second half of the request made by Neyer would also control any entrance and security could catch any trespassers since they would only have one exit, the one behind Counsel Hall leading out to Upper Gulph Road. Neyer added that it would also pre-vent non-students from using the main road as a shortcut.

'I'm reallypushingfor the speed bumps. I feel sombodysgoing to be hit soon.' -Dan Neyer,directorof security Both Keyer and Fitzsimmons agreed that closing off both the front entrance and the entrance/exit at Eagle Road would be inconvenient. Nevertheless, Fitzsimmons said that security decided at some point that the main road can't handle the twoway traffic.

Therefore, if the above plan is adopted, it would be in effect seven nights a week, according to Neyer. He also said that though the hours have not yet been set, they would be in effect sometime after the evening classes had ended. In addition, Neyer said that he would notify both students and Loquitur ahead of time if he decides to go ahead with the plan. Students generally reacted well to the idea of putting in speed bumps. However, the majority of those polled disfavored the idea of closing off the two main entrances, as they felt it would be an inconvenience.

As Campus Sound has discovered, many times success can also create problems, with SGA being one of their biggest ones this year. At present, there is a lot of confusion surrounding their original decision to leave SGA and then their sudden change of heart. Murray said the primai;r reason they terminated their membership was because they were able to generate the revenue without the assitance of a budget from SGA. There were, however, other reasons for their decision to leave the association. "We had a lot of problems with our accounts and having accurate balances with SGA," Murray said. "We also had problems with student services, because we were not getting paid for various gigs that we did for them." Just last week, however, the group reversed its decision and opted to rejoin the Student Government Association. "We had a meeting with Rita Calicat (social activities director) and Katie Grimley (president ofSGA) to get back into SGA to make sure that when we (the senior members) leave, we will know that the equipment will be in good hands," Donna Capone, pr~sident, Campus Sound, said.

In 1985they won the club of the year awardand had the best financialtum-around of any club in Cabrinis history. Campus Sound plays mostly top 40 tunes but boasts a big oldies collection as well. They are also trying to build up their big band selections to possibly get parents interested in hiring them. The group also likes to play a lot of Cabrini favorites, such as Billy Idol, the Romantics and the Hooters.

The group tries as much as they can to please their audience, but sometimes it just isn't possible. "We try do what the majonty wants, not the minority," Bowden said. "When you play something that 80% of the people don't like, then what's the use in playing it. We always get hassled by the minority who don't understand that there's no use in playing something if the people don't like it." Despite the success of the group, Campus Sound still plans to expand. Murray said that their record collection has greatly expanded since most of their money goes toward the purchasing of music. He also said that they were going to try to do just as many or even more gigs as last year. By spring semester, they are hoping to have have two complete sound systems so it will be possible to do two different gigs at the same time. Despite all the plans for the group for this year, the future of Campus Sound is quite uncertain, due to lack of student participation. "People join and then quit," Murray said, "because they won't take the responsibility when it begins to cut into their social . e." . tim To combat this problem, the group is having a campaign to get students to join, and later, training those who are serious about being new members. "We are hoping, to train new people to work and have the same attitude as we do," Fallon said. "We want to leave it in good hands and hope the Delta DJ's will be gone by then. We don't want the newcomers to have to fight and if that happens, hopefully, our name will keep us going." ''There's not enough interest," Bowden said. "We have three new members but it will be very hard for them. If we don't come up with new people, I think it will go back to being totally disorganized, the way it was my freshman year." "We are optimistic," Murray said. "We already have prospective people in mind."

Collegerecruitment:

Students'selling'Cabrini by Rachel Athelia Anderson

College recruitment is the most important detail faced by any admissions department. According to Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, the major factor in recruiting students to Cabrini's campus is current Cabrini students. Their praise or criticism can attract or discourage a potential student. "Recruiting," Gardner said, "is a function of the whole college." ¡ Because students are essential elements in recruiting other students, Gardner is currently working with the idea of present Cabrini students accompanying recruiters to local high schools from which they graduated. This experiment will allow high school students to relate to Cabrini students whom they previously attended school with. Gardner explained that in order for the high school visitation endeavor to be successful, the representative must have the "right attitude." Gardner's approach is not passive. It is a straight-forward, yet friendly attempt. She directs questions to those students who stroll aimlessly by the Cabrini recruiting table, sometimes unaware of its presence. "You can't be laid back and wait for students to come to your table," she said. Gardner invites those students to take a closer look at Cabrini and what it has to offer.Her sales pitch for the school involves the recounting of its "beautiful, spacious campus." Gardner explained that the size of the campus is an important aspect. "There are advantages to staying not much bigger then we are right now," Gardner said. Although Gardner's goal is to recruit students, she does not want to mislead them by false advertising. "\Ve really need to be honest about what we are and what we offer," Gardner said. According to Gardner, she is "still learning how we do things here at Cabrini."

In addition to high school recruitment, there is the mailing procedure of recruitment. Cabrini carries a poster that is mailed to approximately 6,000 potential students. The poster is also available with detachable cards attached to the bottom of it. This form was sent t.o2,522 schools all over the world. The new Cabrini poster was evaluated by both Diane Kolodzinski, director, public relations and Gardner. They tried to determine what the poster says about Cabrini. A flood of literature is sent to interested students, besides the new Cabrini poster. To locate college-bound students individually, Cabrini purchases names from college boards. Ten thousand names were bought in this fashion. Gardner explained that this is the initial step in recruiting students. The recruiting process does not end there. Gardner stressed that follow-up literature is essential in keeping a student interested. Cabrini sends out additional information on an individual basis and even invites personal interviews. This aids in demonstrating Cabrini's "personal, friendly atmosphere," Gardner said. A follow-up letter is sent to those students who were mailed Cabrini recruitment material and never replied. The letter simply asks, "Why haven't we heard from you and do you need more information or are you simply not interested?" Those students who express interest m any way, are sent more departmental literature, for instance, financial aid and academic brochures. Gardner does not work alone. She frequently works closely with the Alumni Office.Together, they are trying to develop a program where alumni communicate with prospective students. Because the alumni rnust be trained for this, the experi â&#x20AC;˘ ment will take some time to get off the ground.

loquitur .;frida½october24, 1986

Outstanding senior by Christine Cocchia You may have seen him, you may have heard about him, but what makes this energetic, motivated, personable guy tick? To those of you who may not know him, go into the cafe~ia and look for the tall, redhaired guy with the mustache, who's stuffing his face. Yes, one of his favorite things to do is eat - a lot, but there is so much more to outstanding senior Brian Feeley than his eating habits. He majors in English/communications, is a reporter for the Loquitur, is chairperson of Social Activities, and is on the executive board of the Student Government Association. Serving the school is very im1>2rta2t to F'eeley.

Brian Feeley, a man with many accomplishments. (photo by Debbie Ferrar) How does he find the time to fit all of these activities into his schedule? "I don't really budget my time well," Feeley said. "I tend to be a procrastinator. Things just get done, but if I planned, I probably could get more done. I do what I have to c;lowithout looking at the clock." Feeley tries to keep his priorities in order when it comes to school. Aside from making sure he eats three square meals a day, his top priorities include grades, having fun with friends, his family and future job security. What about the future and Brian Feeley? "Someday, I want to have my own televi: sion show and maybe work with kids," he said. "I want a job where I can be paid to be myself."

"Brian is such a motivated, positive person," Michelle Iatesta, senior, said. "I think he's very gifted. He's going to be ve.ry successful one day." Feeley is witty, spontaneou.s and always looking for a good time. In fact, no matter what he is doing, he seems to be enjoying himself. "Brian is the type of person you really want to be with," Iatesta said . .iHe's fun. He's sensitive and he cares. He tries to portray this funny guy image but there is a deep, more vulnerable side to him also that he only shows to a few very close friends." "The friendship I have with Brian is one that I know, no matter what happens, we'll always be friends," Jean Cotignola, senior, said. Feeley's friends are a big part of his life. No matter how busy his schedule may be, he finds time to spend with them. "I wouldn't be giving this interview ifit wasn't for my friends," Feeley said. "They've all helped me grow in one way or another. They are my support system. I couldn't do anything if I didn't have them beside me." "He keeps me amused," Maria O'Brien, senior, said. "I feel very comfortable with him. Even if we have problems in school we always manage to have a good time together." What has he gotten out of his four years at Cabrini? "Silverware from the cafeteria," he said. "Seriously though, the best thing I got out of school is the friends I've grown so close to. Making friends was always easier than making grades. I came to Cabrini because it's small, close to home, offers individual attention and for the good English/communications department, not to mention the fact that it's a lot easier to meet girls here." To relax, he sleeps - a lot. He likes to play golf too. You can usually see him teeoff on the soccer field. Most of his free time is spent catching up with friends and partying. Family life is also ver~ important to Feeley. He's especially close to his younger brother Michael, who is a freshman at Cabrini. "Brian is someone I can look up to and I can talk to him about anything," Michael Feeley, said. "We communicate. We compete too. He's my best enemy. But I always go to him with a problem before I go to my parents because he puts me on his level." Despite his many successes, there were times when Feeley had his doubts. "We all have our doubts about what we want out of life," he said. "I am fortunate because I always knew what I liked, but I often thought maybe I wouldn't be right for the English/communications field. One thing I've learned is that you have to be your own person and try to live life to the fullest. I know it sounds trite, but it really is true." On Oct 4. Feeley was named overall Homecoming King for Cabrini College; a crowning victory which, for Feeley, has topped off three very productive and successful years.

One-actplay provides entertainment. by Maria O'Brien "A giraffe is called a giraffe because it looks like a giraffe," rationalized Eve as she went about naming things in the Garden of Eden. The Little Theater's latest one-act play, Mark Twain's "The Diary of Adam and Eve," was directed by Jeanne Russell Fisher. The main characters, Adam and Eve, did most of their speaking in monologues which were directed to the audience while the animals took a back seat and crawled or walked on and off the simple, yet effective set. Animal costumes, which were designed by Jennifer Wimmer, junior, were elaborate. Although the animals (Ruth Santoni, panther, Jennifer Wimmer, tiger, Rachel Abboud, lamb, Karen Clark, peacock, and Nick Hines, elephant) did not speak, their costumes brought attention to them. Adam and Eve were clad in flesh-colored body suits as if to appear "au natural." r alistic.

Drugsavailable on and around campus by Kate Welsh

"Want some butter man?" Four students, three females, one male, dressed casually in jeans and sweaters, shake their heads and continue walking. "I said, want some butter?" Whispers and laughs can be heard from the row houses which line the streets, as shadows move back and forth across old, brokendown porches. "How 'bout some speed? I got good crack." The man, black cap pulled low over his eyes, follows the students, his soft, raspy voice still pushing his goods. "You guys don't look like you're havin' a good time. How 'bout some coke man, that'll help ya." The students again refuse. The man gives up and moves on, toward another group of students up the street.

"This is in Philadelphia though, these kinds of things don't happen on the Main Line." This is a common myth held by many parents and adults. This is also wrong.

No, this is not a scene from "Miami Vice", nor is the street even in Miami. The scene is from Philadelphia, the street, Rising Sun Ave., North Philadelphia, two blocks from Temple University, one-half hour from Cabrini. Drugs, whether it be marijuana, cocaine, speed, or the newest and cheapest craze, crack, are a popular issue in today's society, as the United States begins its anti-drug campaign. In Philadelphia, North and South though, drug buys are common and cocaine and crack are easy to get. Whether it be Washington Avenue, Dauphin Street, or Butler Street, any one of any age can buy any drug they want.

'How 'boutsome speed? I got good crack.' "Down there, they (drugs) are very, very available," one 20- year-old female, resident of North Philadelphia, said. "Almost everyone is selling, and therefore using, them. It just goes on."

"It's more available here, on the Main Line, because people have money," a 19year-old, female student at Cabrini, said. "It's spread by word of mouth. All you have to do is ask." "If you want it, you can get it," another student at Cabrini said.

Although just recently becoming a popular topic of discussion in todays society, drugs have always been a problem. Students ranging in age from grade school to college have had to deal with drugs and drug pushers for years. "In junior high, my friend's brother was a dealer," a 19-year-old, male resident of Bala Cynwyd said. "If we couldn't get anything from him, we just went down to North Philadelphia. It was easy to get any drug we wanted down there. They come right up to your car."

One student summed up the issue of availability of drugs in today's society. "I have no desire to acquire any type of drug. but I know if I ever wanted anything. I would have no problem getting it."

Alumnireturnto almamaterto share~ by Liz Files

One day a year, former inhabitants of this campus join for an afternoon of reminiscing, fun events, and socializing. What is this special day? It is the annual alumni reunion held every year at this time. Alumni day, held Saturday October 18, began at 11:30a.m. with the annual alumni blue and white basketball game. The game, which was held in the school's gymnasium, featured the men and women who played on the Cabrini teams as undergr8:duates. There was an open house held from noon until 4:30 p.m. in the mansion featuring ethnic foods, drink and entertainment. This has only been the second year that the open house has been held at the mansion. Dale said that the reunions were usually held as lucheons at hotels. "The reason why we did it that way, is because there were more women then, and the women liked that kind of atmosphere. Now there are a lot more men so the events work out better being held on campus," she said. Back by popular demand, a palm reader was on hand to forecast the futures of alumni. Martha Dale, director, alumni affairs, acknowledged the outstanding achieve-

men ts of selected alumni during the award ceremony. The distinguished achievement award went to Patricia Reid- Bookhart, class of '73. Michael Walczak, class of'77, was honored with the distinguished service award, and Mary Mulligan,RN., was recognized as the honorary alumnus. Also honored were retiring alumni association president Cassie Bradley Woestman '67, and retiring executive board members Wanda Armacast Connolly '62, Greg Pasqualrello '77, Harriet Thalf Sistrunk '67, and Lydia Audino Tomasello '85.

Electricguitar;

Gettingbackto rock 'n roll The electric guitar, which seemed to have faded a couple of years ago, has been revitalized and is now regaining its popular status. The keyboard synthesizer, which looked destined to replace the guitar, evidently has not done so. "Awhole lot of people have said that technology is fine, but just get me back to rock and roll," Jim Crockett, publisher, Guitar Player Magazine, said. "Many people don't want digital keyboards or digital anything. They just want to get back to the basics," he added. In today's ever-changing rock world, there is now a greater variety of guitar strings. Old, heavier guitar heroes, such as Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, as well as reknowned high priest of guitar, Eddie Van Halen, are all blending with younger guitarists such as the Edge (U2's lead guitarist) and the Ray Vaughan brother's of the suddenly hot Fabulous Thunderbirds. Each guitarist displays their own unique sound. The Edge, for instance employs a psychedelic style while the Ray Vaughan's favor a bluesy style. It all depends upon the individual artist and their taste.

"The electric guitar has made a comeback basically because now, with all the equipment, it can make almost any sound the synthesizer can," Craig Elkins, guitarist, said.

Long or short, curly or straight, bangs or bob-what is the newest look in hair this fall? Fashion magazines forecast the styles as much softer, more feminine and flattering. Tina Bonanni, stylist, Creations in Hair, agrees. "Wispy, softer, wash and wear cuts are popular," she said. Pamela Zeleski, stylist, Heidi's Salon, said, "There isn't one particular style that's in right now."

by John Dunleavy

When the tabulations from 1985 are accumulated, estimates predict that guitar sales will once again clear a million as they did in the early 80's. One of the major reasons for the rising guitar sales can be attributed to the fact that the guitar has caught up to the keyboard in technological ability. In order to get an idea about how the guitar is making a comeback, the American Music Conference's annual statistics show that guitar sales have increased from 875,000 in 1983 to nearly one million in 1984.This is an increase of over $100,000 in sales. This has been made possible largely due to the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) connections which allow guitarists to project sounds on computer synthesizers if they so desire. More specifically, MIDI refers to a cable hook-up which is plugged from a guitar into one or more synthesizers and produces a wide variety of tonal sounds.

According to Zeleski, several styles are popular. "There is the long in the back, piecey around the face, permed style," she said. "Very long hair is always in style. Short bangs are popular; so is the cropped in the nape, short in the crown style," she added. Zelenski went on to reinforce her view that no one style is the "in" style, "Everybody is different," she said. "Recently, hair's been quite flat and straight but perms and waves are coming back quite strongly," Trevor Sorbie, British Stylist of the Year, in the July issue of American Salon magazine, said. "Short and long styles with full texture and color emphasis are all happening simultaneously. And I believe hair will progress along these di verse lines."

Another reason for the guitar's swift reemergence stems from it's sex appeal with the young generation. "On stage, you're limited with a keyboard," Crockett said.¡ "No matter what you do, you're still anchored. But with a guitar, you can whirl .around, drop to your knees or lift the instrument over your head, playing it the

whole time. You're hot, and that's tough for a keyboard player to match." Elkins agreed. "Heavy metal groups such as Ratt and Twisted Sister can show offa lot more than with a synthesizer. They want to sound more rugged and look more macho."

Jensen still keeps in touch with old friends. "I like to keep in touch with my friends to know what's going on with their lives," she said. "The reunions always seem to be a big success, everyone al ways seems to enjoy themselves," she said.

When asked what he thought of changes in his alma mater, Crew said, "When I went to Cabrini, there were very few males on campus. It was more like a convent," he said. "The campus is a lot bigger now. There are a lot of new buildings; the campus has expanded a lot," he said.

.fothe head Genderinfluencesteacher When planning for the fall and winter styles, look to the past. The 1940's will be returning. According to Mademoiselle magazine, some of the looks that are gaining popularity around the country this year are layering around the face (this look updates long hair and works well with strait hair), razor - cutting (helps in growing out layered hair), beveling (takes the edge off blunt cuts and adds softness to bobbed hair), and laid back waves (adds curves to hair).

"The Italian and French look is softer, subtle, long and dramatic. The English and German are more into bold, straighter lines. It's a harder more punk look, with basic cuts. The softer look is what is.new here," she said.

According to Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson, English/communication, research says that women speak more tentatively and less forcefully. However, according to the education journal Phi Delta Kappan (March 1986), women teachers are more instrumental in instruction than men, and they exhibit greater knowledge of teaching methods and techniques. They are more orderly, safer and quieter, and they are better motivators. Women communicate more, spend more time with their students and care more about individual differences, according to "Phi Delta Kappan". So why would students prefer male teachers? "It's a paradox. Why would it go the other way?" Anthony Tomasco, psychology department chairman, said. "Phi Delta Kappan" (February 1986) says more male teachers are able to transform the usual drudgery into an enjoyable experience. They communicate a sense of excitement more so than women, and present material in an original way.

This doesn't mean, of course, that men make better teachers just because students prefer them. "Stereotypes might account for a preference," Tomasco said. "Female teachers wind up with a heavier load because students perceive them as being more nurturing," he said. According to Dr. M.L. Corbin Sicoli, associate professor, psychology, students expect more nurturing and more reliability from women teachers.

Mary Helen Mapes, lecturer, psychology, having talked with many students at Cabrini, can't recall any sexual patterns in the likes and dislikes of the students. There are some male Cabrini teachers who are favorites of some students. But they are popular because they are good teachers, not because they are males. "Students take my classes because they're interested in the subject matter and they know I'm interested in the subject," Dr. Carter Craigie, professor, English/communications,said. "That makes for a better learning experience," Craigie said. Most Cabrini students feel that the sex of their teachers doesn't affect their opinions of them. It depends on the quality of the teacher.

'Peopleexpectmalesto be authorities.They think males havemoreexpertise.Its a trend.Its hardto breakout of moldsof thinking.'

'The girls in my class probablysee me as a sex symbol.'

-Dr. M.L. CorbinSicoli, associateprofessor, psychology

-Dr. Carter Craigle, Professor,English/ communications

"The standard in our schools, after decades of co-education, is still male," Janice Law Trecker, teacher, said. According to Sicoli, males have more access to higher education. Society only lets males be educators. "People expect males to be authorities. They think males have more expertise," Sicoli said. She also said that historically, the profession has been male. "It's a trend. It's hard to break out of molds of thinking." If it is true that students prefer male teachers, Cabrini must deviate from the norm. ''It's difficult. to say that there have been preferences," Tomasco said.

Mapes said it depends on what the person is like. The students prefer teachers who are understanding and fair, according to Mapes.

..

It is normal at Cabrini to have more female teachers than male (24 female to 17 male full-time). It is the same way at most of the Catholic high schools that some of the Cabrini students attended. The past background of students influence their attitudes towards male and female teachers, according to Sicoli. Students here are used to females. ''Maybe ifwe had more better looking male faculty we would fit into the norm," Craigie said. Craigie isn't sure if females prefer male teachers, but he enjoys having them in his class. "They're much prettier than males," he said. Craigie also gave a reason why women might prefer him. ''The girls in my class probably see me as a sex symbol," he said.

· "When I took my first drink and my first drug and when I smothered myself with them, I stopped growing emotionally, physically, spiritually, socially, Tummy Hargrove,junior, recovering drug addict and alcoholic, emphatically stated. "Alcohol is a drug and_sois the. cocaine. Everything-it's all drugs. Alcohol and drugs stunt your growth. You Just stop growing," she said. "Cocaine is addictive. It's addictive. If you do it enough, you're going to get addicted to it. Thats all there is to it," Hargrove testified. Hargrove recalled her progression from drug to drug and noted the difficulty in avoiding contact with the drug scene emphasizing the virtual ease in finding sources for a "fix." "I think it all started because of the transaction for me- moving away from home, going to college, and living off campus. For me personally, _Ineeded~ be accep~d: and I wanted to be liked by everybody so I would go over to the Villanova side (of Cabr1m East) and do drugs," she said. "First it started with drinking and then it started with pot and then it started with cocaine," Hargrove explained. "I usually got it from there (Cabrini East) or from Cabrini right here on campus." "It's (cocaine) everywhere. If you want it and you look for it, you're going to find it. Its all over," Hargrove said. "I can remember staying up all night long doing drugs and, the worst thing was the feeling in the morning. When you wake up in the morning and sometimes you .wouldn't know where you were. You couldn't remember. You blacked out. That's when I cr.osiieaover from socially partying to being an addict, and I just couldn't stop. I didn't care about myself. All I cared about was getting the drug. I couldn't Jive without it," Hargrove admitted. Considering the physical damages incurred, the drug abuser is denying himself any trace of self-respect. Hargrove testified to this. "If you only knew what cocaine is made of. It's hydrochloric acid ...cocaine is a leaf, ~nd the things they do to it are terrible. I was aware of all that, and I knew I was hurtmg myself," Hargrove said. . . "I just had the lowest self-image of myself, no self- esteem-obviouslyI was domg drugs, and I didn't care about my body.

Studies show that 1t takes two years before your body can get back on a normal system again, and I still find it hard,'' she said. "I can remember when I reached the point where I couldn't get up in the morning without using the drug." There is no great distance involved in the crossing over from the social side to the addictive side of the drug scene. "There's a fine line between socially doing drugs and being an addict. For a long time I didn't think I was an addict,'' Hargrove said.

"It didn't work at first because I didn't work, and I would lie to the counselor. I would tell her truthfully that I wasn't doing cocaine because I wasn't. But I was still drinking, and alcohol is a drug just like the cocaine." Eventually quitting all drugs, "cold turkey," Hargrove talked of the physical and emotional withdrawal she experienced and is, essentially, still experiencing. "I just quit. I went through physical withdrawal. I remember not being able to sleep or eat, and I would get the shakes and feel nauseous. This all ties in mentally with spiritual

Hargrove emphasized that many of these people can be found right here on campus. "Beverly Reilley, (campus minister) was my biggest help. Her door was always opened for me," she said. "Cabrini will help you if you think you have a problem, and they won't tell anybody, and they won't tell your parents. You can get the help you need here because the campus is small and it is special. It may sound corny, but it's true. I am forever grateful to Cabrini," Hargrove said. ·. · . "If someone's having trouble with an addiction, I've been there, and I can help them Just like people who've been there helped me and showed me the way or you can always pick up the phone and call a local AA or NA (narcotics anonymous) group." Cabrini's own AA meeting is held every Saturday morning at 10 a.m. in the conference room next to the Wig Warn. "Not many go to it. I go when I can. It's open to everyone including people who don't have a drinking problem. There's open discussion," Hargrove said. "It's hard to stop unless you have people behind you kicking your ass, encouraging you, and believing in you which is number one.

Stuclents: quiet, butaware by Brian Feeley

There is a qltiet storm that is flooding our streets. Like hurricanes, it to has a name. The name of this storm is drugs. Drugs are no stranger to Cabrini College, yet the campus community does not recognize their existence as readily as many would think.

drugs

& college

When asking many students on campus questions concerning drugs, they closed their doors and requested anonymity if they offered information. Most students interviewed declined to even comment, suggesting that drugs have maintained a certain negative atmosphere about them. Regardless of peoples opinions, drugs do exist here at the college. Since the campus is small, it is easier to detect where the drugs are being used and by whom. Although this is common knowledge to many, it remains quiet, but the storm continues. Whether or not drugs have become a problem here on this campus remains to be seen. "Half of the problem is that no one will admit to a problem." Tim Fitzgerald, junior, said. "In my four years here at Cabrini, I've seen everything from marijuana to cocaine. But in those same years, I have seen over 100 kegs. If you're addressing a problem on campus, the main area of concern would have to ~ the drug alcohol," a senior, male, said. "From what I have noticed, drugs have decreased considerably since my freshman year. I believe that alcohol has taken its place." Mark Murray, senior, said.

Drugs have shown up in many areas of campus life here. "Last year at a House 3 party, I walked up to my room and found a girl inside my bathroom doing lines of cocaine," Christy Mason, junior, said. Like many colleges and universities across the United States, Cabrini has encountered situations involving drugs. The small atmosphere here allows for greater community awareness. Just as students know who is dating who, so do they kno.w who is involved with drugs. It is not that people look for those who are involved, but there is not much that can be hidden from such a small student body.

Pee-marital sex:

_Societyacceptschangingviews by Stephanie Giardini

Sexin the 80's: Is this widely publicized topic a problem in our society? Has the acceptance of pre-marital sex, overridden the Catholic Church's teachings? Today's society has split thoughts on this controversial topic. Factors oflove, church, and morality play major roles in the beliefs of the public. Society's traditional views of pre-marital sex are based on the Catholic Church's stance that sex before marriage is a sin. The new morality of the 80's, however, is based on the feelings of the two individuals. · Today'ssociety, heavily influenced by the mass media, has adopted an acceptance of pre-marital sex. Because of this, the morality of this act is now governed by an individual's decision rather than traditional society rules. "Love is important," Dr. Kathleen Daley, professor, sociology,said. "Weneed love and affection. Sexis a form of attention seeking which stems from the fear of not being loved," she said. "If you really care about somebody it's

worth it because what if we are not here tomorrow," a junior said. Though there are those wla believe that pre-marital sex is acceptable under the circumstances oflove, others believe that it is not acceptable under any circumstances. "I feel that pre-marital sex is a problem in today's society because of many factors like teen-age pregnancy, disease, and sex with no meaning. The sexual revolution changed everything. Everyone is out for their own pleasure," a sophomore said. Many people agree that some have taken the sexual revolution beyond reasonable limits. The respect for the act and what it stands for, in some peoples' beliefs, has been tarnished. "Alot of people don't take it seriously now," a junior said. As in any controversy, a neutral opinion is always interjected. "It is the person's own business," a sophomore said. "This is not backed by facts, but I bet the rate of pre- marital sex is the same now as in the past," Dr. Marilyn Johnson, professor, English/communications, said.

''The difference is now it's discussed openly. This is just a guess," she said.

Just as most animals have developed a routine for attracting mates of the opposite sex, the human animal surrounds the complicated chemical process of falling in love with an even more complicated ritual approach. For most, falling in love is not the problem. The hard part is getting the other person's chemical clock in the same time zone as your own. 'lb do that, our species has developed an elaborate behavior pattern we call "flirting." Yes, we call it flirting. It's the sight of nervous smiles and hopeful eyes, the sound of dangling conversations and missed connections. It's the tactic single, and sometimes not-so-single, people take when they are lost in the same room looking for each other. · Dr. Cheryl Eibsfert, professor, psychology, the University of Pennsylvania, spent two years travelling to different countries recording on film the flirting behavior of different cultures. She found that the human animal flirts pretty much the same all over the world. According to Eibsfert, if the flirting pattern is indeed universal and if flirting in 'Tokyolooks about the same as flirting in Radnor, then it probably has to do more with our species' evolution than with our personal identities. The flirting technique is taken seriously by students on campus. According to the women of House 2, flirting proves to work well if done properly. Eager to share their insights, the women of Dixon House offered the following unisex guidelines for singles: •Give the person a slight smile and a bashful look. Lower your eyes and then turn away. Repeat the pattern several times. (Or if at The Wayne Tavern, just yell "Yo dude, over here!") •Hold your gaze for a fraction of a second longer than usual when you look lingeringly into his or her eyes. (Always remove beer goggles to ensure protection.) •Stand closer to him or her than you usually would. (Remember to take a mint five minutes beforehand, this could be a Certs encounter.) •Nod your head in a.;reement no matter what the person says. (That is unless he plays soccer for Eastern College.)

Whittemore claimed that she was not empowered to make sure athletes were reaching their full potential as students, so coaches would steer players to easy courses to keep them eligible instead of allowing them to assume tough courses.

I think maybe Chancellor Slaughter is on the right track. Maybe he should talk to some of his peers. I always thought the job of academic advising fell under the realm of the academic department. We don't tum to coaches when we are having difficulties maintaining our cum. Then again, maybe if we were all big-time college athletes, that would be the place we'd turn to seek "special" help.

seems to me that avoiding quality courses

I am not trying to remove all of the blame from Bias. He was old enough to be accountable for his actions. However, he was young, and like anyone, he needed a little guidance. Guidance which had as its purpose Bias' best interest. Bias was being exploited. This exploitation, though not physically damaging, like cocaine, can also ruin an athlete's life.

for fear of being ineligible is the greater risk. Which would you rather be, ineligible or ignorant? In the Washington Post, University of Mary land's Chancellor John Slaughter was quoted as saying, "I've had a feeling for a long time that one of the problems with academic advising in the athletic department is that it is managed by the athletic departments."

We hear a lot of talk about the drug clean-up of big-time college athletics, and I think drug testing is a good start. However, let's not just clean 'the surface. Anyone seriously interested in cleaning up sports must not only concentrate on those using drugs, but dig deeper and closely examine the academic procedures at these schools.

talent creates patternfor progress

by Pa~tyM_oore This year's field hockey team has found a pattern for progress with the combination of an experienced team and talented freshmen. "Last year we went through a reconstruction period," Ruthie Brown, senior, captain, said. "This year's success has been a combination of talented and experienced freshmen and the return of last year's team." "We,are playing very competitively and have been very close in scores," Mimi Greenwood, coach, said. Many of the games have been lost in the last few minutes, but the team is happy with its progress from last year. "Last year we were happy about scoring, this year we're happy about winning," Brown said. The freshman players this year have been an asset. Most have joined with prior experience, which has been a big help for the team. ''The freshmen contribute so much and we work well as a team," Barbara Picciotti, senior, said. The team has lost two promising freshman due to injuries. Pam Lewis shattered a bone in her finger and Joyce Mundy suffered injuries to her mouth. "We've lost two key players, we can't afford to lose any more," Greenwood said. John Dzik, director of athletics, is pleased with the team's improvement over last year. ''They've been in the games, even if they lost," Dzik said. "The team needs additional players to strengthen their game."

On Saturday, October 25, the team will participate in the Swarthmore Philadelphia Association oflntercollegiate Athletics for Women (PAIAW) Championship Tournament. They compete in this tournament annually for the experience as well as the chance to show how well they can play. "We are winding down the season in the next two weeks and have a heavy schedule against tough opponents," Greenwood said.

Pro soccerteam signs alulllnus ........

by Kathleen McCabe Larry Tukis, alumnus, has just recently been signed to a professional soccer team, . the Kansas City Comets. · Because Rick Benben, coach of the Kansas City Comets and Niki Nickolich, assistant coach, wanted to sign more American college players to their team, Tukis was able to arrange a tryout with the team through former teammate, Charlie Dodds. Dodds has worked with these men in past summers at soccer camps. Dodds said, "It's very hard for an American player to break into the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) because there are so many foreign players who have better skills. The competition is fierce." Because of the competition, Tukis has • been signed to the seven man "taxi squad", the players who are reserved in case of injury. The league allows 18 players on a team as professionals and seven on reserve. For this reason, Tukis is still considered an

amateur. This will allow him, however, to try out for the Pan Am games ifhe chooses. The drawback of this situation, however, is that he has not signed a "no cut/no trade" contract, which means that he can be dropped or traded at any time. The contract depends greatly on his performance. Benben said, ··•Larry has the potential to be one of the best goaltenders in the league by the time he's 26. "Tukis, now 22 has four years until he reaches his peak performance in soccer terms." _ "For someone who has never played mdoor soccer, he's very good," Nickolich said. "He just has to work on using his feet more and not just his hands to block the shots." As the situation stands now Tukis is third in line for the position of goalie. If one of the starting goalies gets hurt he will have his opportunity to display his talents to the people of Kansas City. The coaching staff hopes to elevate him to pro status next year if he works hard enough and everything goes according to plan.

One type of test that is now concerning students, particularly athletes, is the recent issue of athletic drug testing. In the wake of the recent Len Bias cocaine-related death, colleges are now becoming aware of the drug problem on campuses and trying to confront it. Athletes is the principal focus. At present, Cabrini must adhere to the rules of the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletes (NAIA) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), but the college may not be a competitive member of the NCAA until next year.

By Jan. 1, 1987 all NAIA member schools must institute a wdtten policy concerning random testing in athletics at those schools. John Dzik, director of athletics, said, "Coaches now in the NAIA are at a disadvantage because they have no clear cut policy." "As athletic director and coach, I have never removed a person from a team," Dzik said. "I've suspected people - yes, but I've never had an opportunity to prove anything." According to Dzik, the "policy" which he uses is based on this philosophy; if someone is caught red-handed with drugs, he or she is removed from the team. However, there has been no direct evidence of drug abuse with athletes at Cabrini in six vears. "i'm not naive enough to believe no drugs are present in our athletes,'' Dzik said. "Athletes are the same as everyone else." Some colleges have taken the initiative to provide drug education and prevention programs.

At Boston University last year, a drug and alcohol education program was begun in which every student athlete is obliged to take part. Every athlete must provide a urine specimen when asked. If a prescribed substance is found in the sample, the athlete is required to undergo retesting and counseling. If steroids are found, the athlete automatically becomes ineligible to compete for the rest of the year. If a student is retested and a prescribed substance still appears, he is dismissed from his team, loses all athletic scholarships and cannot represent the university for the remainder of his enrollment. According to an article in The New York Times on June 26, 1986, Maryland University has a mandatory drug testing program for their athletes which is only in effect during the athletic season. Players are tested at the beginning of a season and then randomly throughout the remainder of the year. "A person found to be a regular user is kicked off the team," Dr.John B. Slaughter, chancellor of Maryland University, said. On a recent segment of ABC News' late night news program "Nightline" on Sept. 17, 1986, Dr. Robert Murphy, an associate clinical professor of preventive medicine and Ohio State University team physician, explained that the university drug testing program tests every athlete at least four times a year. Some teams are tested 12 to 15 times during a year unannounced. Focusing closer to Cabrini, Philadelphia's Temple University has also concentrated its anti-drug efforts on the athletes. This fall Temple's administration is planning many drug talks and providing literature for the entire student body. "Villanova University is now in the process of developing drug information and testing for the university for all students, staff and faculty, but especially for the athletes," Mary Anne Steenrod, women¡s athletic director, said. According to Steenrod, the university has always dealt with the teams, talking about drug and alcohol abuse. So far, Steenrod is not ;iware of any major problems with athletes using drugs.

Steenrod states that the NCAA is now starting drug testing programs at NCAA championships which are post-season play. "On the individual campuses, the college administration must have students sign statements which require them to submit to drug testing for post-season play," Steenrod said. "If they don't submit to the tests, they are not eligible to play postseason ball." According to Steenrod, the NCAA is also recommending that the individual campuses set standards themselves. In the Jan. 16, 1986 edition of The New York Daily News, it was noted that the NCAA will begin testing athletes this school year, starting with men's and women's cross country championships held in November. The program will cost an estimated #300,000 a year and testing will be allowe<:J at all NCAAchampionships and football bowl games. At these championships, first-time offenders will be suspended for 90 days from the post-season play and repeat offenders will be banned for another year of post-season play. "I think it (drug testing) makes people aware there is a problem,'' Steenrod said. "A drug program is for prevention and is a means to help people with drug problems." Steenrod said that the drug testing will benefit both the athlete with drug problems and the potential athlete because he will know he can get caught. The question of whether or not drug testing is a good idea is not foreign to Cabrini College. There is talk on the campus about the recently revealed problems with drugs in athletics and there are many diversified opinions. "I think they should institute drug testing," Jerome Chenault, senior, said. "I've got nothing to hide." "I think the;rshould do it (drug testing) seeing as in the future I want to be a drug enforcement officer," Joe Klimek, senior, said. Athletic drug testing also brings into \ question the right to privacy of the athlete. . Should one have to submit to the testing

if one feels it invades one's private life? "I don't think it's an invasion of privacy,'' Sean Meenan, senior, said. "To be an athlete, you have to have talent and drugs will ruin that talent. Drugs make things worse in your life than helping you." "I don't think it's an invasion of an athlete's privacy because drug use is illegal," Klimek said. "With the apparent rampant drug use now," John Donahue, junior, said, ''it has gotten to a point where if you play a sport, it will be another thing that must be done." There are some who believe that the problem of drugs is not prominent on college campuses. "I think drug testing is a good idea in professional sports," Kevin O'Donnell, senior, said. "I don't think it's a good idea at the collegiate level. I think it's more of a problem in the pros." What about a drug problem here at Cabrini? Is there one? "For the majority, there's no problem at Cabrini," Chuck Mongiello, senior, said, "but I'm sure there is a small percentage. I wouldn't quote it as a problem here." As a concept to some, drug testing would not seem like a problem; however, there are underlying complications that should be considered. What happens to the drug-free athlete who is tested and i~found to have a drug in his urine sample? Will that mean that his athletic career is automatically jeopardized? It has been found that legal drugs can be traced in urine samples. However, Jack Davis, NCAA president. who appeared on the September 17 segment of ABC's "Nightline,'' stated that trainers of the ~CAA will be given a list of trade name drugs that will test positive on a drug test. One of the biggest problems that the athletic drug testing has brought about is its cost. According to the Jan. 15, 1986 edition of The Baltimore Sun, the cost to test one athlete is $200. This is an estimated cost from Jim Brock, Cotton Bowl director, who received that figure from Walter Byers, NCAA executive director.

With the 2-1 win over Eastern College, the men's soccer team clinched the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (EPAC) title. This qualifies the team to move on and play the southern division winner in the Eastern States Athletic Conference (ESAC) championship. Earlier in the season the team received a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics honorable mention. Charlie Dodds, senior, said, ''At the beginning of the season, you choose which to shoot for, NCAA or NAIA. In August, we were awarded an honorable mention in the NAIA division." "In my opinion, in soccer, it is a greater accomplishment to win EPAC and ESAC. It is a more prestigious award than the district title," John Dzik, director of athletics, said. According to Dzik, the success of the team thus far is due to a combination of factors. "It's a mixture of senior leadership, upperclassmen, and new players that mainstream well." Because the team had lost key players, many"people were skeptical before the season. However,their success has evoked confidence.

The beginning of the soccer season required some adjustment for the new players who were helped and encouraged by their upperclassmen teammates. Monica Palko, junior, statistician, said, "Realistically, the team's got a lot of promise. The freshmen adjusted right away and want to go all the way." "The seniors hung in through good and bad. Their self- sacrificing helped to get us where we are today," Dzik said.

"The team is generally much better than people expected. They had been written-off. People figured that they would not do very well," Dzik said. Dave Kodluk, junior, said, ''The team's got a lot of heart and desire to win and won't quit." "I think this year we are a harder working team and we've come together. The first year, I didn't think we had much talent," Sean Meenan, senior, captain, said.

Leadership is included as a primary factor to the team's success. Tom Salmon, coach, believes he ,1as two responsible leaders for the team. "Sean, the captain, is a very good person to have as a leader. He's very good on the field. He contributes a lot and holds meetings at night to see where they're coming from, and that's what really counts." He continued, talking about his assistant coach. "My assistant, Larry Tukis, has a lot to do with the players and he knows the older ones. He helps in smaller ways tactically, and wants to be involved in finer points."

Palko said, "I think that the leadership you see now is the direction of Sean. The seniors have a lot of heart, they stick together." This year is Palko's third season with the team and she has seen the players grow and improve. "They've come a step each year, so they would like to go one step farther to nationals." She continued, "I think their winning is due to a unity on the team this year. It might even be frustration because of the loss at regionals last year." In three years, Palko has grown to know the team. "They want the next best thing. They are a hell of a great bunch of guys who are real supportive of each other."
