InterestrevivesHaunted ----House .

by Angie Corbo
Haunted rooms with "floating objects" have been seen in Woodcrest, Strange unexplainable incident reports have been cited by residents in the Mansion and the mysterious appearance of an unidentified woman in the Rudy Rooyman Counseling Center, as described in Cabrini legend, all lead to the question - IS CABRINI HAUNTED? The myths of haunted residencies may be untrue, however, a synthetic spirit did haunt the campus on the weekend of October 23. The Student Governmnent Association was responsible for reviving the once traditional Haunted House. Student committees headed by Jeanne Reineberg, senior, and Patricia Fitzgerald, soph~more, worked for weeks in advance in preparation of the event. "I especially wanted to revive the Haunted House this year because it's my last year and the senior class is the class that carries the memory of the event," Reineberg said. At first, there was apprehension on the part of the student services office to approve such an activity. According to Rita Calicat, director of student activities, both S.G A. and student services were unsure if there was enough support to make the event a success. Thus, the planning for the event was delayed. After an approval was granted, another concern still troubled the student services staff. In past years, the public had always been invited to attend the event. This year, the staff felt that if the public attended they might be let down. "The public seemed excited about this event, I just wanted to make sure that we had enough people to staff such an event," Calicat said. Reineberg was able to convince Calicat that the man power and enthusiasm were strong enough to make the project work and to open it to the community at large. Calicat finally agreed. Though the project had its delays, Calicat said, "In the end, it was executed with the same caliber of past years." "It was awesome," she said. The general concensus of the entire staff who participated in the event is that it exceeded all pre-conceived e>.-pectations.The Haunted House has been an annual Cabrini tradition every year with the exception of last year when it was cancelled due to a lack of interest from S.GA. members and the campus community. Calicat and .others involved in the project feel that this year was a success for several reasons. "People from the community called the school weeks ahead of time to inquire about the Haunted House," Calicat said. Reineberg was optimistic about the project from the very beginning because of the large number of people who responded favorably to the activity. 路 "A lot of the people who were involved in promoting the project were not even involved with S.GA. or social activities," she said. Calicat added, "There was a diversified group of people working on the activity, and the energy and enthusiasm they projected helped to make the event the success that it was." "You need a certain kind of weird energy to get into the spirit of Halloween," she said. "We definitely had people with that kind of energy this year." The biggest difference between this year's Haunted House and those held in the past, was the location of the event. In previous years, the Haunted House was held

According to Reineberg, thls was also a safer environment for the Haunted House to take place. "There were numerous fire and safety hazards to consider when the event was held inside," she said; Fitzgerald described the p~ysical nature of the Haunted House as consisting of a "circle of events.'' The tours opened in the courtyard where Cabrini's legend was told to each group as they faced the bell tower of Grace Hall.

Goode vs. Rizzo: A clash of the titans LeeMirenda
The "lesser of two evils" is the deciding factor for some Cabrini students registered to vote in the Philadelphia mayoral election between Wilson Goode and Frank Rizzo. The main issues concern Goode and his administration, the MOVE incident and its aftermath, and the actual race itself. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer in an Oct. 20 article, Rizzo has criticized Goode's administration as being the "revolving door administration.'t Steve Pascali,junior, said a common complaint against Goode is his poor management and handling of his administration. In an Oct. 18 article, tJ\e Philadelphia Inquirer stated that Rizzo's administration was less professional because in some instances it would use the delivery of city services as a reward to "friends" and punishment to "enemies".
Karen Clark, senior, said "Rizzo focuses too much attention on Goode's mistakes (during hi~ administration), but does not give any solutions (to the problems)."

chance, he might be'--able,tosolve it." The MOVE incident and its after~;th is another major issue being debated by some Cabrini students. "Goode hasn't improved Philadelphia and incidents like MOVE ruined Philadelphia's image," Genovese said. The fact that theMOVEincident happened and the Goode administration is responsible for it cannot be disputed. However, Rachel Anderson, junior, said, "MOVEwasapotboilingfor years before Goode's administration and it was left unattended - naturally, it would eventually blow up, it just so happened it was while Goode was mayor.'' Besides the issues, the actual running of the race is also a determining factor in who the next mayor of Philadelphia is going to be.

While she gets breakfast together, he walks a mile to the "comer store" and back, a routine that he began 10 years ago when he first went into retirement and still hasn't abandoned, though lately he says it has become more and more difficult. Breakfast is a quiet affair. He reads the paper paying careful attention to the obituaries, "I like to check everyday to make sure I'm still alive and to see which of my old friends are not." She sits across from him facing the front window and watches the happenings of the neighborhood. For an old person, she is quick - they both are, and she probably knows more about her neighbors without talking to them than they know about themselves. On three mornings each week, he hurries through breakfast. He has somewhere he must be - a rarity these days. Monday is "bowling day"; on Tuesdays, he golfs with some of his buddies; and on Fridays he chauffeurs a %-year-old retired executive through heavy Philadelphia traffic to a "member's only'' club for lunch and then back again - not an easy feat at 75. The days between are punctuated with the sort of outings and trivialities many might consider boring: doctor's appointments, shppping trips and car tuneups,but for them, these things have become a small and definitive reminder of the busy lives they used to lead.

"Students realize that they are the future, therefore, politics is a common topic. They tnow more about American politics than Americans do," she said. While abroad McKernan also visted Switzerland, Finland and the Soviet Union. This past summer, Andree Jost, junior, studied Spanish American poetry and theater and Spanish civilization in Spain. It was Jost's first time out of the country. She said -,he was excited and eager 1o learn. "They were great courses and I had fantastic profesrnrs," Jost said. She said that with a lighter course load, a student could experience culture to a fur,her extent. Jost said that she lea!'ned a lot about the Spanish language and about herself. "I learned to exist independently with a measure of success," she said. "I didn't have anyone to run to." When asked if there was any danger, she said, "Nothing more than an overly aggressive male." Jost stressed that culture shock happens when you come home. "When I arrived back in the United States," she said, "I had to think about speaking English."

She pointed out that men were very aggressive in Spain. "In the recent past, a woman's place was basically in the home. Now women can go out socially and men are not used to it." Zebrowski highly recommended studying abroad. "It can be a pain in the neck, a hassle and full of complications, but it's worth it in the long run," she said. "When you look back on it, you think, Wow-- I went througli all this and look how much I learned." Zebrowski said studying abroad was affordable because of the value of the dollar.

The procession next traveled into realm of the "blue room" of Grace Hall for a funeral where Dracula made a surprise appearance, then the group quickly exited the area and continued the tm.i· through the "unknown" behind Grace Hall. A sea monster emerging froin the pend adjacent to thc\'sunken gardens", selfpropelling vacuum cleaners in the "Amityville Horror house", and wicked witches on wooden broomsticks were just some of the terrifying attractions they met on the way back to reality. Susan Johnson and Roe Francesconi were two sophomores who went through the Haunted House, and they felt the event was very well done. "It was excellent!" Francesconi said.
ELECTION from 1 Some Cabr:ni supporters of Goode and Rizzo were disappointed with the October'6debate. Genovese felt their debate was horrible due to all the mud slinging and name calling that took place. Pascali was also disappointed with the debate. "Instead of name calling, (Goode and Rizzo) should have told the voters what they would do (if elected mayor)," he said. A very controversial aspect which C1oode/Rizzomavoral race is the concern if it is a "racist race". Joel Zazyczny, junior, believes that there is a racist factor in the race because before Goode was in office the majority of the members in the cabinet were white. After Goode's election, (and :i.ppointments) most were black. Zazyczny also said, "Rizzo can be detrimental to some black people. His thoughts and actions are to take care of the white and , middle class first." On the other hand, Clark believes that the race is not "black vs. white", but "culture vs. culture". Clark said, "Goode and Rizzo are total opposites. They are two nl::1ITT1P.c: thP.
very _strong minded men with very strong ethnic backgrounds and this election will be the clash of the titans." Some supporters of Goode and Rizzo believe that this issue of black vs. white is due to the ignorance of the voter, especially if they base their decision on media hype. Pascali said, ''T.V. will win the election, citizens should educate , themselves and become part of the political process." Many Cabrini College students who support either Goode or Rizzo believe that the election will be very close. Clark said, "It will be a close race, because the voters will cast their vote, not with the candidate they are for, but with the candidate they are not against." A common belief among some Cabrini students is they will cast their vote for "the lesser of the two evils". Zazyczny said, "Philadelphia has a lot of potential, and we need a strong individual to keep us up with the rest of the U .S," The question remains: will the lesser of the two evils be strong enough to fulfill Philadelphia's potential? The answer will be revealed on November 3.

Philadelphia Gear Corp.claims lock out by Kerry Gallagher
And so they walk hour after hour, day after day with their signs that read "MACHINIST - DISTRICT #1 - AFLCIO - LOCKED OUT - LOCAL 864." Most of the workers are out front daily picketing. They take four hour shifts and are out there 24 hours a day. Many students have driven by it over the past six weeks noticing people walking around with sigds but few may have even taken a moment to wonder what is going on at Philadelphia Gear Corporation on South Gulph Road in King of Prussia. The reason why there are people walking in front of Philadelphia Gear Corporation with signs is because they are calling attention to the fact that they are
locked out of their jobs. The plant workers are in the midst of a contract. dispute with management and the company will not allow them in to work until the dispute is settled. The State Office of Employment Security has recognized the situation at Philadelphia Gear Corporation as a lockout and has awarded the 237 workers unemployment. This was ruled because the workers have offered to return to their jobs since-their contract expired on Sept. 14, but the management has refused their offer. Employees have been locked out of their jobs since Sept 14. It was on that date that their contract with th(? Philadelphia Gear Corporation ran out. The ::eason why it has not been renewed is bec.Âľi:;e of disagreements over ~he terms of the con-
tract. The management has indicated to the workers that they are not willing to make any positive changes for them. There will be no pay increases at all. In fact, they were even discussing making some negative changes by taking out some existing terms. For instance, they would like to cut back on the worker's paid vacation true in addition to taking away paid holidays. Note that the term usect1S "locked out" and not "on strike." The difference is that in a lock out, the cm ployees are willbg to work but the company will not let them. In a strike, the employees refuse to work. The workers 'are members of the International Association . of 'Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 864. The union president is William ~eeler.
When asked whether they see any end in sight, the workers answered that they a.it not sure. They definitely see the problem coming from the management. The corporation is demanding a lot of concessions and they are the ones keeping the employees from their jobs. "It all boils down to one thing," Al Mingle, ex-service represenative on the picket line said. "We've got the time and they've got the money." Philadelphia Gear Corporation is owned by Russell C. Ball Jr. and to date the officials have refused to discuss the labor dispute wi_ththe press. Carl Rumble, a quality control worker on the picket line, is quick to point out that there has been no trouble or incidents at the site.

Deal may bring cable edttor"a note-This lsthean.-rtolast week'a "Whal"sthe Scoop7" In which Loqultur questioned the possiblllty of cable television on campus.
by Rebecca Rebalsky
Cable television may soon be made available to every campus residence and in the commuter lounge of the Widener Center, pending an agreement between the Adelphia Cable Company of Radnor, and John Doyle, assistant director, resident life. Doyle said that he has been in contact with representatives from Adelphia, and is now waiting for them to finalize arrangements to visit Cabrini and conduct an evaluation of the campus. "They will do an estimate of the college to check the viability of a cable hook-up here," Doyle said. If Adelphia refuses to install cable at Cabrini, then Doyle said he plans to contact the Harron Cable TV Company, which services neighboring Tredyffrin Township. According to Doyle, Harron has already expressed a willingness to investigate the possibility of hooking-up cable at Cabrini because a small portion of the campus falls in their jurisdiction. "However, the majoritiy of the campus is in Adelphia's coverage area," Doyle said. Therefore, under cable law, Adelphia ~ts the first opportunity to acquire Cabrini as a customer. "I have to give them (Adelphia) as long as they want to decide if they will do it," Doyle said. "But if they say no, then I will go to the other company." "I'm sure I can get cable on campus, it's really just a matter of the time frame we're dealing with," Doyle said, who would like to see cable installed by the end of the semester. "I've gotten an okay from every administrative office I've talked to," Doyle said. "Now it hinges on what Adelphia says." Doyle said that the office of resident life plans to ask residents to pay for access to basic cable channels, and estimates a fee of about $3.50 per resident. He explained that dividing the cost among residents is more financially feasible than having the office of resident life fund the project. "If we (resident life) didn't collect from the students, it would cost us a total of about $1500" Do le said.
He added that individual residents may also get cable reception for their own televisions under separate arrangements. According to Rita Calicat, director of student activities, the cost of cable reception in the Widener Center commuter lounge would have to be covered by the commuter affairs club through fundraising. "If there is an interest, I'd be more than happy to work with them (the commuter affairs club) on fundraising to do it," Calicat said. An agreement with Adelphia would successfully complete a year-long campaign by Doyle to get cable television.on campus. It all began last fall, when Doyle decided that cable reception would enhance his hobby of videotaping movies from the television in his room in Xavier Hall. As resident manager, Doyle was also responsive to the men's requests to get ESPN, the cable sports channel, so that they could watch more football on the big screen in Xavier's Great Room. But plans for cable installation fell through last year, Doyle said, as a result of"administrative foul-ups," and the departure from Radnor of the Storer Cable Company, with whom he had hoped to do business. Doyle did not bring up the idea again until this summer, when he and Sandy Prucha, director of resident life, agreed that cable television would be an excellent way to unify each residence on campus. . "The lounge area would be an appetizing place to go," Doyle said. "Instead of just watching channels 3, 6, or 10, you could watch cable." Doyle hopes that the addition of cable channels such as HBO and Prism as well as better overall television reception wiUcause more residents to congregate in the lobby areas, rather than staying in their own rooms. In addition, Doyle said, "RA.'s could program around shows on cable.'' If a special documentary on AIDS was scheduled for a Thursday night, for example, the RA. could plan for residents to watch the show together and then have a group discussion afterwards. "In this way, cable could provide an edu,cational environment," Doyle said. The residents in each dorm will collectively decide whether or not they want cable television in their lobby areas.
correction In the Oct. 23 issue of the WQUITUR it was reported that Joel Zazyczny, president of the Student Government Association, said that due to lack of attendance there would be no more student dances other than the formals. According to Rita Caliat, director of student activities, this information is misleading. S.GA. will continue to hold the traditional dances such as the Snowball Dance and the Masquerade Ball. We regret this error.
What's the Scoop? As the time rolls around each year for registration students scurry through Grace Hall looking for their respective advisors. The advising system at Cabrini is being questioned by students. Are the advisors readily available? Are they interested in your academics or do they just sign the sheet? Do they know enough about courses other than those in their major or what avenues to follow? How many students do not graduate-op time because they were not ad-,ised of course offerings?

Halloween tradition has Students reach!h~~~dio~oa~~~d new meanirlg in the 80's
by Jenni Obrecht
What do a father of three, the managing editor for WCAU News Radio, and a mother of four have in common? Each decided to resume his or her education and each chose Cabrini College to fulfill that goal. These students have various reasons for continuing their academic careers and according to Meredytb Leahy, director of continuing education, "Every student who comes to our department has their own story as to why they are returning to college." Arthur Anderson, a business administration major, is set to graduate in the spring of 1988. He is married and has three children, ages 10, 12, and 20. His eldest daughter is a music major at The Philadelphia College of Art. Anderson, an accountant, attended Temple University several years ago, but left the program before receiving his degree. After handling miscellaneous accounting jobs for Philadelphia Electric Company he decided to return to school in 1980.

often requires relocating in order to find the first job. Born into a military family, Highsmith moved several times as a child. Before enrolling at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, he had lived in Korea and Germany and attended four different high schools. Highsmith attended the University of Notre Dame for two years where he followed a liberal arts curriculum with a concentration in English, philosophy, and literature. He left after his sophomore year and went to work full-time in the news department at WJV A/WRBR radio in South Bend, Indiana. From there he travelled to Minneapolis-St. Paul where he worked as the news director of a large AM station. At present he is the managing editor and special assignment reporter for WCAU News Radio in Philadelphia. His duties there include assigning stories and deciding how they will be covered. Highsmith realized the competitiveness of the radio industry and that played a role in his decision to return to school. "Personally, I wanted to come back and get my degree, but I would also like to attend graduate school, so this is a stepping stone to obtaining my masters degree," he said. He encourages anyone who is serious about broadcasting to take advantage of what the college offers, such as the T.V. or radio station. "It's a chance to make mistakes. You have to experiment, within reason, while you have the opportunity," he stated. The spring semester should prove eventful for Highsmith, who said, "I'm getting married and then I graduate the next day." Evelyn Wagenhoffer, sophomore, English/communications major, entered Cabrini in January of 1987 as a freshman.A graduate of Roxborough High School in Northwest Philadelphia, she married soon after high school and has held various clerical jobs over the years.
Evelyn Wagenhoffer, sophomore (photo by Debbie Ferrar) Anderson's first decision was to return to Temple, butbecausehenowhad a family and a full-time job he realized that he needed to attend a local college. He looked into a number of area schools, including Villanova University, St. Joseph's University, Eastern College, and Cabrini College, that were conveniently located near his King of Prussia residence. After considering his choices, Anderson decided on Cabrini College for two reasons. The school was close to his home, but more importantly it was a small school. "I liked the informality and smallness of the school," he said. Anderson has enjoyed academic success at Cabrini and in 1985 he was named a charter member of Alpha Sigma Lambda, the national honor society for continuing education students. He believes that the continuing education department has helped him greatly in his pursuit of a. degree. "Cabrini is doing a great job with Steve Highsmith, senior (photo by Debbie Ferrar) its older students," he said. Karen Karlsen, head secretary of "At the time I graduated the big continuing education, described the ways thing was to get married and raise a in which the college is sensitive to an older family," she said. student's needs.

Boo! It's that time of year again folks. A time when ghosts and goblins come out of the woodwork, the dead rise from their graves, witches fly on their brooms, vampires become bats and werewolves howl at the moon. A time when Linus waits for the Great Pumpkin while others prefer to carve it, and a time when faces get plunged into cold tubs of water to bob for apples. But, most of all, it is a time for dressing up in costumes and collecting "infinity bags of candy," according to 5-year-old Matthew Briscoe, a student a Cabrini's Children's School. "My favorite thing about Halloween is eating all the candy I get," Briscoe said. Although eating candy did not play a major part, Halloween or Samhain ("Summer's End"), as it was first known, was celebrated as far back as the Celts, according to Elizabeth Hough Sechrist, author of "Heigh-Ho for Halloween." . Later in history, the tradition was introduced in Britain as Halligan or All Hallows. The night before was known as All Hallow Even and eventually the name was changed to Halloween as we know it today. The name is not the only thing that has changed throughout the years. While college students remember trick-or-treating with an older brother or sister until late at night and not being limited to the houses in their neighborhood, most kids today are faced with just the opposite. Children who go out for Halloween are more than likely accompanied by a parent, visit only houses of the neighbors that they know and in some towns, are only allowed to trick-or-treat during the daylight hours. This is true in Toms River, N.J., hometown of Anne Lyons, senior. "Where I live the kids have to be in by 6 p.m. I think the whole idea of Halloween is fading away," Lyons said. When asked if she thought the tradition of Halloween has changed any, Joanne McKenna, senior, said "It's not fun anymore. Kids have to be too cautious when they go out." · Caution and safety seem to be the key factors these days. With all the mishaps that have been associated with Halloween over the years, parents-are-becoming more apprehensive with allowing their children to go trick-or-treating. "I think the tradition of Halloween has changed in that there has to be more health and safety awareness," Dr. Dawn Middleton, director of the Children's School, said. With all the cautiousness felt among parents, parties in school and at home are being given for children rather than allowing them to go trick-or-treating. What about college students? The majority don't go galavanting around neighborhoods any longer, and those who do say it isn't the same. "It's not as fun anymore because people don't take you seriously," Alice Mahoney, sophomore, said. Those who have outgrown the tradition of trick-or-treating, can celebrate by going to different clubs that may have Halloween parties, but at times are faced with high cover charges. So while the tradition has changed in some ways, it will always remain exciting for those who enjoy bobbing for apples, waiting for the Great Pumpkin and most of all collectin "infinity ba of caod ."

A friendlyface in the Mansion by Donna Dougherty
Late at night you can usually catch her in her blue robe watching television in the Mansion lobby. Or in the afternoon wandering the winding hallways of the Mansion and going into rooms chatting with the women who live there. Or walking her constant companion "Sparky'', the convent's seven-year-old dog. To some she is known by her "formal" name of Sr. Maria Pasqualini, M.S.C. but to a chosen few, she is simply referred to by the name of "Shadow." Shadow serves as the resident manager of the Mansion. She has served in this capacity twice. The first time was from 1969-73 and later again from 1978 to the present. This is a total of 13 years. Her room, located on the second floor of the Mansion, is filled with pictures of family and friends. She has a collection of graduation pictures of the resident assistants who have served under her as well as anm1al Christ1;:1aspictures taken of the wom'en who have lived there. Shadow entered the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart order in February, 1952 in West Park, N.Y. Since then she has worked in a variety of different roles for the Order. She has been a first grade teacher in Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Brooklyn,N.Y.andinScranton,PA. at St. Frances Cabrini School. At Mother Cabrini School in New York City she taught fourth grade. She has worked in the admitting office at the Columbus-Cabrini-Cuneo Medical Center, Chicago, IL.; as a resident care prefect and teacher for children at Si..Anthony's School,Kearney, N.J.;aslhe Sister Superior at the Sacred Heart Villa Convent, Seattle, WA.; and a a pastoral
care worker at Columbus~Cabrini-Cuneo Medical Center, Chicago, IL. Talking about her experiences in the Losp:tals, she laughs and begins to tell of her fumiiest memories. l-Ier duties at the office were twofold: she and the other two sisters who worked with her in the office were in charge of admitting and discharging the patients. In between she said they admitted pregnant women to the obstetrics section of the hospital. O!le day in 1958, a husband came to the office and was very nervous and sai<l his wife was ready to deliver. Shadow told tht man to put his wife on the stretcher for her and Ihen took the woman on the elevator. Before they got to their floor, the elevator broke down and stopped!

of moderate comfort to experience this new world. Instead of relying on material goods, the people of Swaziland are spiritually dependent on their religicus convictions, according to Nolan. Without the obstacles of secular goods, Nolan had to have faith in both herself and God. She knew that she had to be strong for herself. The strength that Nolan experienced was different than any feeling she previously felt. Nolan, like the natives, grew dependent on God's love, as she grew independent of the material goods that she left in the United States. Nolan confesses that she became more aware of her relationship with God. This experience has given Nolan a new perception on the world. She now feels and sees life in a different perspective. Her appreciation of natural surroundings, human nature, physical limitations and education has increased immensely. "I see what we have here and realize that we take so many things for Clean water, clothing, good· granted." housing, and education are perfect examples, she said. "Education is a natural process here. In Swaziland, education is an option for those who desire it," Nolan said.
Volunteering is givmg of one's total self. It is a job of selflessness, bravery and a strong will to take on a commitment of missionary work. Lisa Nolan, a 1987 graduate of Cabrini College, spent three months in Swaziland giving missionary services to their community. Swaziland is a small independent kingdom in Southern Africa. Nolan spent her three months in Africa living in a convent. She describes the natives as "very spir-itual,beautiful, yet simple people." She claims that they taught her how to live and cope with the environment. Despite the extreme poverty and scarcity throughout the land Nolan found it rather easy to adapt to the culture. "By respecting other cultures and remaining open minded, one can experience a 'foreign' culture, without a great deal of difficulty," she said. Nolan said the most difficult demension of her mission was to accept her own limits. "I think the hardest thing for any missionary is to realize that they cannot feed and care for every starving person, or lessen the poverty and take away the injustices." "I learned that I could only be As an educator, Nolan found that there and that I could give them a sense of watching the children of Swaziland learn hope," Nolan said. Expressed gratitude for any"little was a joyous exper:ience. Lisa could see thing that you did" frequently gave Nolan the minds of the children develop. She a sense of fulfillment. It was an knew that what she gave of herself was inspiration for Nolan to know that her work being "absorbed" by people who had a strong desire to learn. was appreciated. She says that not a day goes by Due to the extreme poverty, the without when she doesn't think of the natives are very limited in their resources. People in Swaziland do not have the luxu- people that she had encountered and ries that many people would consider every educated in Swaziland. "They will be in my da necessities.

omedian on stage in Philly Rachel Athelia Anderson His language · is peppered with curse words. Yes, he is vulgar, but the swarms of people that gathered in the Spectrum on Oct. 21, at 8 p.m., laughed at almost every individual syllable that rolled off of his tongue. Donned in heavy black leather, complete with green snake skin, Eddie Murphy thoroughly excited the female portion of the crowd. Murphy spoke the truth through a few jokes. The crowd laughed hysterically, as they applauded the truth. Murphy disclosed some of women's most common sexual secrets. Later, revealing man's 'darkest side, he illustrated how men keep women. His theory is once a man causes a woman's first real orgasm, she's his forever and will listen to any excuse he ever produces. Loud shouts oflaughter rumbled the seats as he preached the nature of man. In essence, his message was no matter who your man is, or how good you are to him, he is fooling around. It has nothin~ to do with how much he loves you
or how perfect the marriage is. ''It's just the way men are," Murphy said. Murphy had a few comme,nts about Michael Jackson. He wondered why a couple of years ago there was "Michael Mania" everywhere and this year has brought a complete turn around. "You people are quick to turn on people," he said. The audience snickered. He said he admits Jackson is a bit strange. He thinks that Jackson probably looks in the mirror every once in a while and realizes, "he did a little too much lo hi.sface," he said. Regardless, Murphy still admires Jackson. Why is Murphy so blunt? Wei~ because he just doesn't "give a damn", he said during his two hour concert. He explained that his humor is met with some criticism. Bill Cosby is one that is unappreciative of his approach to laughter. Murphy explained why he flavors his comedy with such rude expressions, crude gestures and sexual innuendos. Bill Cosby has a family and a wife that he can talk about, but Murphy only does one thing: have sex. He admits that his material is not suitable for youngsters.

Fitness strengthens mental and physical being by Mari Bugie Physical fitness. It is not just important for dieting and firming up your body, but it is also important for your mental health and well-being. Physical fitness ranges from areas such as maintaining or reducing your weight to acquiring energy for your mind and body. Many people have different ways they practice individual physical fitness. There are also a variety of reasons why they do it. Sandy Prucha, director, resident life director, said, "Physical fitness is extremely important. It attributes to one's mental fitness." The type of exercise you get can alsohelpor hinder you. Running to classes all day will not be as relaxing as t~ing a bike ride or a nice walk, accordmg to Prucha. "We all know the benefits of physical fitness - to maintain weight, decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and also to help manage stress in our lives," Susan Fitzgerald, nurse, health services, said. A student cannot function unless they are physically healthy. They must get physical exercise a minimum of three times a week for 20 minutes, according to Fitzgerald.
Team trains for nationals by Patrick Zipfel The men's cross country team took on Eastern States Athletic Conference (ESAC} rival Lincoln University and raced right by them on Sat. Oct. 24. In doing this they improved their record and have begun their preparations for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Regionals to be held in the beginning of November. The Cavaliers were led by sophomore, Mike Dolan who captured last year's Freshman of the Year honors in the rugged Eastern States Athletic Conference. Close behind was junior, Paul Magalon and seniors, Joho Donahue and Pete Casazza who were named to last year's ALL-ESAC team. "We :an really well against Lincoln all of i:s finished within ab,)ut a min~te of each other," Dolan said. " 1{ight now we are gelling ready for a co:iple more n:.eets but I think we all are getting ourS{ Ives prepared for the NCAA Division IIJ Regionals to be held in the second week of November." Donahue, senior, said, "In the beginning ofthis year we were a little .,low getting it together as a team but I think that we are finally putting it all together and we should finish the end of the season very strong." This weekend the Cavaliers are traveling to Frostburg State for the ESAC championships where last year they upset Frostburg to win the conference. This year's team is looking to continue the tradition and defend their title. "We are really an underdog against Frostburg this weekend and are looking to kno~k them off and defend our title," Donahue said. Following this weekend's race for the ESAC Championships the Cavaliers will get ready for Nationals on Nov. 14. "We have been running real well, especially in the Lincoln run, and I think that we should be ready for the stiff competition ahead of us during the next few weeks. As a team I think we will work much harder during the next few weeks so we will be ready," Donahue said. During the next· few weeks the cross country team will be training very hard getting ready for the toughest r:art of their season and will be trying to put it all together as a team to defend their ESAC crown.
Exercise helps a person manage stress. If you are physically fit, your pody is more able to handle your body's response to.stress, according to Fitigera!d. What about the people who do not enjoy strenuous exercising? Fitzgerald said, "If people do not, for example, like to run there is always walking. Experts are fmding out walking is just as good as running. There also are not as many risks involved like joint damage. The campus is a beautiful place to walkaround. But this. involves brisk walking, not windowshopping wallcing."
'Physical fitness is an extremely important. It attributes to one's mental fitness.' -Sandy Prucha, director of resident life Carolyn Siperavege, of United Fitness located in Cinnaminson, NJ., said, "Physical fitness is very important. It is great for your cardiovascular system and it also helps to relieve tension and especially stress."
Siperavege, a certified aerobics instructor, said, "Physical fitness relaxes you. It gives you more energy throughout the day. People who take.mymorningclass leave ,vith good self-esteem. They have more energy which helps them throughout the day." There is also a relaxing side of physical fitness for everyone. Sister Bernadette Anello, director, campus ministry, said, "I don't ~ncourage anyone to become a fanatic so they lose site of anything else." Anello tries to take a walk everyday and also dances. So. if there is bad weather she can always exercise to music. Everyone needs to find their own method. W alkingis fun to do with a partner and it can also be a time to talk about things, according to Anello. ''Walking is good reflective time. I can thin!, of ruy life, the day and God - be mindfol of what is going on." Anello said. Good eating habits are important. N oi.overeating or having an excess of things like starches, high calorie or high salt food.:;. "!'m glad Charlie {F.!rardi, director, dining services) has such an extensive salad bar in the cafeteria," Anello said.
A balance of nutrition and exercise ,vill help to release nervous energy. You will not be tired and it will make you a whole person, Anello said. "By playing sports, I feel healthier and f am more optimistic about what lam doing. It is a step in the right direction in one area of my life. One area is going well and it gives me encouragementto do other things," P•~ggie Federico, senior, said. Nancy Porter, career counseling staff, said, "I play a lot of competitive golf. Physical fitness is a tension reducer. Running, swimming and biking lets out exertion. and gets rid of surface anxiety. It allows •w.1rmind to wander and think of things k a focused or even unfocused way. It alrn hdps your mind and body open up." If your body is strong and feels good your mind works better. It is also more effective socially and academically, according to Porter. Porter said, "Find an exercise you like to do, not because someone else is doing it. You s~ould work out three or four times a week. You should not come to college to forget 1:.boutyour body and work only from your neck up." "By having some sort of physical fitness it shows fOU like yourself. The bettu you loc,l~and feel the more easie!' it is to like yourself," Porter said.
