Bushwins presidentialelection by Kerry M. Gallagher
Herbert (George) Walker Bush has been elected the 41st president of the United States. On Nov. 8, Bush defeated Michael S. Dukakis in the presidential race. Dukakis conceded to Bush shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday. Bush said during the call Dukakis was ''most gracious. His call was personal, it was genuinely friendly and it was in the great tradition of American politics.'' After congratulating Bush, Dukakis told a Boston audience that "He'll be our president and we'll work with him." The audience chanted in response '' '92, '92, '92,'' urging Dukakis to run again in four years. Bush's victory caused Dukakis to become the third consecutive Democratic presidential candidate to face defeat. Dukakis, however, came in much closer than the last three Democratic presidential candidates. Bush's win was not a landslide, as was Reagan's 49-state sweep in 1984. Dukakis did manage to make a great come-frombehind drive in the final days of his campaign. Dukakis had finished his campaign with a very exhausting 48-hour race from state to state without even stopping to sleep. Dukakis, who at the start of his campaign compared it to a marathon, told supporters that •'W r. reached Heartbreak Hill and overcame it, and then we found that strength to make the final kick.' ' Bush as President will be placed in command of a divided government. The
George Bush, president-elect
Democratic Party remained in control of both houses of Congress and increased their margin in the Senate. Bush has been criticized for not campaigning more for Republican Senate candidates.
•'We could have used a linle help from the vice president in some_ of those states,'' Republican Senate leader Bob Dole of Kansas, said. George Bush Jr., the president-elect's son, responded on NBC's "Today" show:
"My reaction is George Bush needed to sprint across the finish line as hard as he possibly could. He was worried about his own hide." Bush received 54 percent of the popular vote, while Dukakis was only able to get 46 percent. In the critical addition of electoral votes, Bush won 40 states, giving him a grand total of 426 electoral votes. Dukakis, on the other hand, won only ten states and the District of Columbia, giving him a mere 112 electoral votes. 270 of the 538 electoral votes in the 50 states and the District of Columbia are needed to win the presidential nomination. In a surprising turn of events here in Pennsylvania, the expected 25 electoral votes for Dukakis were instead handed to Bush. Pennsylvania has traditionally been a strong Democratic state. In Philadelphia 67 percent of the popular vote went for Dukakis, while 33 percent of the popular vote was in Bush's favor. Dukakis returns to the Massachusetts statehouse, where he has two years remaining on his term as Governor. His running mate, Lloyd Bentsen of Texas, easily won re-election to his Senate seat from the Lone Star State. As for Bush, the Republican presidentelect looks ahead to January when he will succeed Reagan: "God knows, there's lots of work to do,'' Bush said. Bush is the first vice president in 1.50 years to be elected president.

Apathyon campus A messagefromSpain The empty parking lots on Friday and the poor attendance at Cabrini sponsored events are only two examples of the apathetic atmosphere found on campus. Apathy can simply be described as the lack of emotion or in other words, indifference. It is also a word that easily applies to many students at Cabrini. The lack of participation alone is a perfect example of this word. Dances, special lectures and even sports events are poorly attended. Students yell, scream, and complain for more things to do, yet when they get their wish, it completely falls through. Case in point is the failed intramural program. Students wanted this program and pushed all last year for it yet within the first two months it has been shelved due to the lack of participation. The students who wanted itso badly. got it, butdidn'tkeeptheirpart of the bargain -- they didn't even show up. Many students claim that there is nothing to do on campus during the week and most especially the weekends. Cabrini can easily be described as a suitcase college since most residents pack up and leave come Friday afternoon. What can be done to spark studen't's interest and get them involved with their school? Maybe if the administration, student services, and student body worked more closely and really communicated with each other changes could be implemented to improve the diminishing school spirit. There is a spirit day planned for November 14th, but just how spirit filled will it be? The day consists of a liturgy and then an Italian lunch in the cafeteria. The only exciting thing for most students will be the shortened class periods. Is this really supposed to get the students enthusiastic over Cabrini? Apathetic feelings are bad, but they are even worse when found on a college campus. Come on Cabrini, get with the program and make the campus come alive!

Letters to the editor, as well as opinion articles, are always welcome. Jus rop them off in the newsroom on Monday by 12:00 p.m. Name and wher
Eileen Zebrowski , who graduated from Cabrini in 1988, is now working in Spain on Project Outreach. Hello everyone, Que tal? I hope everyone is doing fine. I've been_-here about three weeks now and just love this place. I ask you to forgive me for my English grammar mistakes as it is a little difficult in making transitions from one language to the next. Where should I begin? Well, the town of El Grove, located in the region of Galicia. is an old town with a beautiful environment. The Sister's mission is located just five blocks from the sea. The people here are very warm and welcoming. The dialect here is Gallego which most!) is spoken by the older people in the town. Some of the children also speak it, but the; also know the Castillian spanish. When I talk with the older people. it is difficult for me to understand them so I have to ask them to speak slowly. In this town, the main income for families is fishing. The men work all day and they say the job is difficult. They do not get paid a lot of money for their work which forces the females to work in factories. which is not uncommon. Thus. the children are left alone at home with no real discipline figure and you can certainly see this in their behavior in the classroom. I've been spending the past two weeks in the schools of this town teaching religion to the children of various years, which range from five-to 13 year-old students. I never thought I'd be teaching but I enjoy it the most. The children get so excited when I come to the school with one of the Sisters. They all run over to me asking if I am going to teach their class. I've had to disappoint some as I was assigned to teach another level.
The material I teach. of course, is supervised by one of the Sisters, usually the one whose class I'm teaching. The children know I'm from a different country so they seem to want to listen more and ask more questions than usual. I have had the opportunity to teach English to 8th-year students. It was a thrill. The teacher wants me to return again. on a regular basis, but I don't know if I can since I don't have my schedule yet. My other work here in El Grove is supposed to be research/study of the town and the people. However, because the study was too broad, the Pastor had to narrow it down. I don't know when I'll begin 1h1s study. In the meantime, I hope to continue to teach the children and visit with them. Many of the children come up to me everyda} as I'm walking along the sea and a~k.ho"" 1 am. etc. It is great sharing time with 1hem because they are so interested in the U.S.A. The classrooms are much different than in the U.S. The children are not welldisciplined so it is difficult at times to teach. The two schools. here are public and it is optional if the children want to learn religion. So far I have adjusted well to the language, people. and change in lifestyle. The food here is good and there is plenty of it, especially seafood. Surprisingly, it is expensive to buy. The weather here is mostly cool and sunny. Since we are situated so close to the sea, it is humid, but not like in Philadelphia. At least we can breathe. A couple days have been cool, rainy, and damp, but we have been fortunate enough to have mostly sunny days. Well, I can't think of much more to say. I've only been here three weeks. I will be writing again soon . Take care. Love and prayers. Eileen Zebrowski
Not "just"ar:1RA
I
To the Editor: I'm sorry, Paula, I guess I just didn't reali:ze. I know you said you weren't looking for sympathy, and I'm not going to offer any. But I will apologize for myself and all those like myself who saw you as •'just" an RA. It's just that it's easier to criticize an RA, to see them as a bad guy, rather than a good guy. It's easier (and more fashionable) to remember the midnight parietals and party break-ups. It's easier to criticize the authority figure, the enforcer. It may be easier, but it's still wrong. If it's wrong. why do I do it? I don't get to see the middle of lhe night wake-ups for lock-outs or just to talk. I don't get to see the runs to the emergency room the night before an 8:30 a.m. class. I miss seeing the pure compasi;ion that makes up the important part of an RA' s job. Because I miss seeing that, I know only one side of you and what you do. It's not because you don't try that I miss seeing these things. I guess I'm just not looking. I know now that you do these things, and that you hurt because it looks like I ignore them. I'm glad you let me know. I'll be sure to call you Paula, and to realize you're a person, not a policeman. I'll be careful not to label you, or improperly associate you with a clique. I'll look for those other things you do, both to help individuals and the Cabrini community. I apologize, Paula. I'm sorry it took so long for me 10 realize you were something more than an RA. Chris Pesotski, freshman

Problemshinderprogressof construction
by Chr1stma Roach
Cabrini is getting ready to enterthe l 990's with a new look. With all the construction on campus. particularly in the Grace Hall courtyard, there 1s much speculation and many mixed emotions from the Cabrini community. The new addition and reconstruction of Grace Hall is part ofa l,smg term master plan. Everyone realizes that Cabrini is growing. What most students aren't aware of is the critical ~ need for classroom and office space. That is why there are -;" classes being held in alternative locations, such as Xavier . . .. Hall.

When the weekend arrives,residentsflee by Nick Ostrowski The weekend comes and the people go. The campus residences empty every Friday afternoon. Why don't people want to stay? What can they do at home that they can't do here? What would it take to make these ''weekend warriors'' stay? For all of those who spend every weekend here on , campus, it is easy to see how few people are left. The parking lots are only half full and the attendance at meals is considerably less than during the week. Cabrini has offered plenty of activities for weekend e11.tertainment. The weekdays do offer a couple of sporting events to attend, but many take place on weekends. Sure, there's always a party going on somewhere. But campus parties are all pretty much on the same wavelength. Everybody crams into a little dorm room where music is blared so loudly, it is near impossible to carry on a coversation with the person standing six inches away. Cigarette smoke fills the air and everyone drinks their face off, just so they can wake up the next morning with a splitting headache and say. "Dude, that was a great party." Cabrini does offer a change of pace. Some people might say there's nothing to do here on weekends except go to parties or go home.'' One could never be so wrong. Rita Calicat. director of student activities. said, "We have been providing weekend activities. We had the Haunted House, the Reggae Party, and the trip to Baltimore Harbor where only a few people showed up.'' The junior class sponsored the Masquerade Ball on Saturday, Oct. 29, the senior class sponsored Octoberfest, and the Fall Formal is coming up on November 11. Cabrini does offer weekend events. Calicat attributes weekend exodus to the fact that "most of the kids live in a relatively close radius to the college." Steve Pascali said, "It's boring for them because they're not using their imagination to make the most of their resources.·' Sometimes, it seems that people who stay on campus and people who go home get categorized in the same way
residents and commuters do. Trish Fitzgerald, junior, said, '' I don't see why it is a big deal whether you go home on the weekend or not. If you choose to ~tay or go home, it is fine. You 're allowed to have more than one group of associations. A few people always

Expressionsart show featuresWyeth family by Frank Emmerich Paintings by three generations of Wyeth family artists and the work of 52 of the best artist in the Delaware Valley will be on exhibition at Cabrini's Expressions Art Show on November 11-13. The Wyeth family are considered· by Philadelphia's most prominent artists as the "sons of Delaware Valley art.'' The Wyeth grandfather (N.C.), father (Jamie), and son (Andrew) paint with different techniques, emotions, and attitudes. However all three Wyeths capture their audiences with their distinct Wyeth style in oil painting. N.C. Wyeth's "Victory Garden" will be on display in Cabrini's Mansion. AccordingtoMr. Armstrong, N.C. Wyeth's style is realistic and photographic in capturing the original interpretation of nature in both landscapes and people. Particularly around Chads Ford and Curry Peninsula in Maine. N.C. Wyeth's notoriety stems from his illustrations in such popular books as Treasure Island, Robin Hood, and Kidnap-
~-
"Cornflakes" will represent Jamie Wyeth's unique style. Jamie is known for capturing natural surroundings in a perceptional manner. Andrew Wyeth has received acclaim as a contemporary artist and has risen to popularity because of his intense desire for realism. Maggie Harper contributes Andrew's success with thefact that he spends hours studying and interacting with his subjects, before attempting to paint. The Expression of Art Show will also feature local artists from Delaware; Berks,
Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties. The topic of these paintings will include a variety of landscapes of local scenery, portraits, seascapes, and florals. All of the paintings, except the Wyeths', will be for sale- the prices ranging from $100 to $1,600. The proceeds from the sale of the paintings will benefit the Business Department Student Scholarships and Library acquisitions. Local artists' paintings were selected by a group of three artists and art professors. The artist were asked to submit four paintings to the judges. The judges then selected the highest quality paintings which contained Wyeth influence. William F. Bell from Drexel Hill has participated in five of Cabrini's seven art exhibits. Bell said, "I enjoy presenting my paintings in such a unique atmosphere, the Mansion. I get to meet people who are educated and interested in the arts and meet other artists, while enjoying a champagne reception." Beverly Moore Hoffsis is displaying her art in the Expressions Art Show because she recognizes the opportunity to exhibit her paintings in a nongallery environment. The public is invited to the reception with the fifty-two artists on Friday, November 11. The exhibition will be free and open to the public on November 12 and 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you enjoy brilliant colorful paintings that are traditional, clean, and impressionate, then take time out and experience a truly cultural experience.
say there is nothing to do. There's always something to do. Some activities fall through because nobody goes to them.'' This seems to be the case with the intramural sports programs. Only a few people showed up forthe first softball games because oflack of communication, and a schedule has yet to be made for flag football. The success of the on-campus activities lies in the hands of the students. Without an adequate interest, planned activities are doomed to fail. Calicat said,"Before you say there's nothing to do, see how much you've been involved in.'' So why do students leave campus for the weekends? Ed Leo, sophomore, said, "Because I want to see my parents and have home-cooked meals.'' K.J. Di Muzio, sophomore, was very blunt when he said, "I hate this place." On the other end of the spectrum are the students who spend every weekend on campus. Freshman Tom Long said he stays' 'because there's a lot of parties and I pay a lot for room and board.·' Pascali 's reasons border on spiritual. "I have accumulated strong relationships," Pascali said," and college to me is an attitude, not just something you can get out of a book.'' What is there to do at home that you can't do on campus? Jeff Foley, sophomore. said he goes home so "I can sleep, eat real food, have my own room, and take long baths.·· What is there to do on campus? Long said,'· I sleep late, do homework during the day, and go to parties at night.·· Those who al ways make the weekend trek don· t e\'en feel they are missing_anything whe.]!.!!)eyleave. Dan Sheldon, sophomore, said he doesn't feel this way because 'Tm here all week." Calicat, who is a former student of Cabrini. said that when she took over as director of student activites. · 'I had a real good sense of how many people leave. People have diverse interests and some people definitely stay for something that interests them. I'm sure there's a number of reasons they leave but I can't pick one." Finally, what would weekend, campus dwellers like to see done to keep people on campus for the weekend? Pascali said, "I think it's the person's own responsibility to find something to do.''

Cabrini's A.A. chapter supports ·members by Bob Bonner
Uncertain of what to expect, Colleen McGlinchey, sophomore from Villanova, enters Cabrini's Widener Center and proceeds to the Conference room. Outside the door she hears talking and laughing. She hesitates about whether or not to go in, but she decides that it is too late to tum back now. Looking around the room, McGlinchey wonders if maybe she has made a mistake -is this the right day? The right time? The room is filled with about 15 people of various ages. They are husbands, wives, mothers, and fathers. They are bosses, coworkers and next-door neighbors. They are everday people, not the kind of people McGlinchey expected to encounter at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
After introducing herself to the director, McGlinchey seats herself at the table. As it nears 10 a.m., people slowly begin to drift into the room. They greet one another with smiles and warm embraces. Coffee and tea are set up at the front of the room. It is almost like any other social gathering -- people making small talk, and catching up with old friends. The one difference is that these people have shared the deep feelings of pain, isolation, and frustration associated with being an alcoholic. The meeting begins with the reading of Alcoholics Anonymous' "Twelve Traditions," the basic tenets of the organization. The Traditions state the purpose of the organization - -to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers; and the only requirement for A.A. membership - -a desire

to stop drinking. In addition, the Traditions reflect the general philosophy of the organization. The document is passed around the room, everyone reading a portion aloud. The chairman leading the meeting then asks if anyone is a "first timer." Meekly, McGlinchey raises her hand. "Why don't you introduce yourself to everyone," the chairman says. To McGlinchey's surprise, after introducing herself, the group greets her with a rousing hello (similar to the greeting one receives from dorm-mates or old friends). One woman who had been away for a few meetings described her first meeting back as a sort of• 'homecoming'' because of the warm welcome she received upon returning to
A.A. A topic raised by the group leader is then opened to the group for discussion. As members share problems, feelings, ideas, thoughts -- anything, the group listens attentively. As McGlinchey looks around the room, she see smiles, heads nodding in approval. These people empathize with one another, unlike anyone who hasn't experienced the power of their crippling disease ever could. Once the group member who is speaking finishes, he is thanked and the chairperson re-opens the floor. As this process continues many members actively participate in the discussion. However, no one is ever obligated to speak. In fact, new members often go for weeks or even months without ever contributing to the discussion. No one here is afraid to say anything. Yet, what they share is so personal. It is something called unconditional acceptance, which means that no matter what a person says or does they are met with only love and
understanding. This system of support gives members the freedom to express themselves openly and honestly. One man summed up this feeling of acceptance by saying, •'This is the one place in the world where you can go and know that no matter what you say, no one will ever jump down your throat for saying it." But just as A.A. members leave their judgments and criticisms outside the meeting room door, the opposite is true for their personal identities. Anonymity is not only part of their name, it is the "spiritual foundation" of all their traditions. So essential is anonymity to acheiving the closeness which exists between group members, that it is stressed at the beginning of each meeting. And as the meeting ends, these average everyday people leave Cabrini to go about their normal activities, knowing that they must fight day by day to overcome their sickness. But with the support and help of A.A., they aren't fighting this sickness alone. And through A.A., many have found a new life, a life free from alcohol. Open is how AA. describes Cabrini's chapter meetings. The group is open to anyone. whether they consider themselves someone with an a/co7io7problem, a friend of someone with a problem, or just someone interested in learning about A.A.· s services. Infact the group welcomes new-comers and is eager to spread their message. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in attending an AA. meeting, contact the A.A. Information and Intergroup Office at 545-4023 or come to Cabrini's Widener Center Conference room any Saturday morning at JOa.m.

As the Cabrini women's basketball team gets ready for the upcoming season. hopes are high, yet questions still remain. How will the veteran players work with the new players? Will the injuries to Meg Hagan and Christi Courseault hurt the team as a whole? Will the overall team speed negate the player's lack of size? These are questions that will be answered or unanswered as the 1988-89 season progresses. Jodi Snow, captain and junior forward. said,· 'We are working hard as a team.

Last year, Allentown defeated Cabrini four times, all by close margins. The toughest loss was in the Districts where Cabrini lost, 70-69. The Cabrini women remember. Donna Aeillo, junior guard, said, "We have a great chance for the ESAC conference championship. Our toughest competition will be from Allentown. We are out for them. Our team will give 150 percent effort when we play them. We want them." Barbra Milligan, sophomore point guard, said, "Our goal is to beat Allentown. Not only to beat them but to crush them.''

"I couldn't see the school paying me for the rest of the term ·when only four or five students were showing up," Vasiliades said. Vasiliades said it would have been easy for him to continue getting paid for running the program, without really having to do any work, but that's not the way he thought things should be done. Vasiliades Jooked at intramurals as a way for commuters lo get involved with the campus community. "Evidently, it didn't work out," Vasiliades said. Somecommuters would drive 45 minutes to play a match, and the opponents, often residents who were only five minutes away, would be absent. "I never saw such apathy," Vasiliades said. Vasiliades cancelled the floor hockey intramural after scuff marks were left on the gym floor. To avoid these marks, students were
instructed 10 put socks on their sticks. Vasiliades let the participants know that if this request was ignored, he would cancel hockey. Though some students say they did put the socks, scuffs were still left. '' I don't treat the kids here any different than I do my own,'' Vasiliades said. "I tried to treat them like adults.'' The decision to cancel floor hockey was his own, he said. Smith and freshman Mike Reidy both participated on floor hockey, and both insist that socks were used as instructed. "We did wear the socks, but it just didn't work I 00 percent,'' Reidy said. "You have to come up with a better way than the socks. They come off and wear through.'' "Students are really stupid for things like that," MarkGudas, freshman, said. Gudas himself participated on
the intramural softball team, but due to a lack in attendance, that program never got to do much more than practice. "People shouldn't sign up unless they're serious about playing," Gudas said. "It takes away from kids who do really want to play." Though opinions conflict over some details concerning the intramurals program, all agree that Vasiliades is not the one to blame for its unsuccessfulness. Mike Charvala, senior intramurals participant, said, "Sam is not the one to blame. He put his heart into it and he tried.'' "He put all that effort into it and it went down the drain,'' Smith said. "All the other years, no one else came forward to organize it. He did a great job.'' As far as continuing the program, Dzik says he will just wait and see what develops.
Cross country takes third place at ESAC championship by Barbara Wilson "We are a very young team that is building for the future," said Tom O'Hora, cross country coach. The mens cross country team is already finished with their meets and are now working toward the championships. Overall, the team has won eleven and lost 5 meets. They have so far wor:ithird place in the Philadelphia Metropolitan small college race,
second in the Trenton Invitational and third at the EasternStates Athletic Conference. The team is now looking on to the MidAtlantic Regionals, where O'Hora is wondering where the team will be placed. According to Chris Callinan the cross country team's goal is to get use to running a race of this type. As O'Hora explained, the Regionals is a race where over 60 teams race all at once to see which three
teams will go on to the Nationals. There have been a few problems that the cross country team has had to face. Such problems include illness and a team that is not experienced in college running. On November 6 the team went to Salsbury State College in Maryland to compete in the Eastern States Athletic Conference. The team placed third overall. The people that ran were Mike Dolan who placed seventh, Chris

Callinan who placed 14th, John Osborne who placed 15th, Bob Fuhrman who placed 16th and Dan Francis who placed 20th. While the team first had 11 runners, they have been left with only eight runners. Three have been lost to either sickness or other commitments. There will be seven members of the team going on to Regionals. One particular member of the team will hopefully qualify and he is junior, Mike Dolan.
Dolan is the first athlete from Cabrini that has evercompeted in a National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. According to O'Hora,nextyear is proving to be hopeful. · 'Next years team could be one of the best Cabrini has ever had, with a little work," said O' Hora. "Being on the team is a lot of fun and it is better to work with a group of freshmen because they are buliding up for the future,'' Dolan
