Computer competency: a mandatory benefit by Linda Smisko What thinks like a person, but is not human? What has a memory like an elephant, but is not an animal? What stores a warehouse of goods, but is not a building? Give up? It's a computer. In the fall semester of 1987, Cabrini College instituted a computer competency general education requirement. The Curriculum committee proposed the idea and brought it to the Academic Council. It was then opened to and approved by the entire faculty in the spring of 1987. Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice president for academic affairs, said that computer competency became a requirement because there are very few areas of employment that a student would go into for which they would not need computer knowledge. Biller said, "Students ought to know the basics, and not think that the computer world has passed them by." Biller said that anyone who has computer competency on entering college can take a challenge exam on the computer to be exempted from the class. No credits are given for this. There are also learning modules in the computer lab, independent study aids, where students can teach themselves. When they feel they have mastered the skill, they can then take the challenge exam. Biller said that in the academic year 1986- l 987, about $26,000 of the school's budget was used for computers, hardware, and anotherprinter. About$5,000morewas used for part-time faculty costs.

"The equipment was purchased before the computer competency had become a requirement. With the purchasing of the equipment, it made the concept of having a computer competency more possible," said Biller. Biller said, "The computer competency remains in our new curriculum for next year along with the other requirements of foreign language, mathematics, and English writing." Should students be computer literate? Gerald Sallow, math and computer science instructor, said, "Anyone who graduates today with a Bachelor's degree and a claim to a liberal arts background should know something about computers, more than just how to spell the word." Satlow said, "Our sense of computer competency is a stronger idea than just knowing about computers. Our requirement is that you are actually capable of working with the computer in at least two very specialized areas. It's not sufficient to be able to name parts or have some sense of what they're about. It's a much stronger comprehension than that." Satlow and Julie Luckcraft, head of the computer science department, have felt that students were intimidated by computers in class. Satlow said that he felt that people were afraid of modem technology. Luckcraft said, "They think this is a high technology thing and I can't do those things, therefore, I don't want to. If they tried, they'd find out that it is not that bad." Satlow and Luckcraft teach all of the

computer courses. This semester courses in word processing, spread sheets, and data base management are being taught. Luckcraft said that the course which is most immediately usable by the students is word processing because students can apply that knowledge right away when doing papers. In the work place, all of the courses are valuable. Perhaps the most valuable course, and the one that is least taken, would be data base. Industry is moving towards data base use, according to Luckcraft. The computer lab is open from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. every weekday. There are two separate labs set up for the students. The labs contain IBM PC's and XT's. When classes are in session, there are IO computers available the entire day. When no classes are being conducted, there are 25 machines available. Luckcraft said, "We upgrade the computers as often as possible, once or twice a year, to give the students the best possible equipment and software. We update the software each semester, and last year we increased the capacity of the network to make it faster for the students. Also there are now two printers, so the students don't have to wait as long." Satlow said, "It will take several years before we know if we are successful or not in the competency of the students. If the student can use this knowledge to be competent throughout their career and professional life, then the course will have been successful." Students were asked whetheror not they were computer competent, and if computers

intimidated them. Kathy Hagan.junior, business major, had taken a course in spread sheeting/word processing in her sophomore year as a requirement for her major. Hagan said that she benefited from the course and used the knowledge to type papers and reports on the computer systems at school. Bill Schellinger, freshman, secondary education major, had taken computer courses in high school in addition to a course this semester in word processing. Schellinger ·said, "The class enabled me to obtain more hands-on experience and become familiar with a different program." Bob Fuhrman, freshman, communications major, has not yet taken the required competency course. Fuhrman said that he has been exposed to computers since childhood because of the nature of his father's work. Fuhrman said that he took logo and basic computer courses in high school. He has a Commodore at school which he uses for his papers. Maria Trabocco, jun_ior, biology major, is not computer competent and is intimidated by computers. Trabocco said, "When you don't know anything about equipment like this, it seems more complex to you and you're afraid to said that she should probably take a computer course, but doesn • t want to. "It doesn't bother me at all to type up my papers on the typewriter. I get by ,'....said Trabocco.

New cheatingpolicy

Cafch the spirit of Cabrini

The taking of one's property is wrong but the taking of someone else's ideas is even worse. Cheating, done for any reason, is unfair to all parties involved and should not be tolerated. Cabrini has always been against cheating only now it gives specific guidelines and penalties on what must be done if the situation arises. The question is: Will these guidelines be followed and the penalties carried out by instructors? The handbook details disciplinary procedures that should be carried out by instructors pertaining to the violation of the cheating policy. How realistic are they? Will a teacher take the time out to confront the student, fill out the necessary papers and report to the Office of Academic Affairs with the possibility that the student will appeal and the situation will be drawn out? Is it fair for that one-time cheater to have a file in the Academic Dean's Office for the next six years? Some instructors feel it would just be easier to confront the student and work it out without involving anyone else. So, what purpose does this academic policy serve? Those students who do cheat know it is wrong yet continue to do it. Will this little policy really make them think twice about cheating, if they even know about the policy and its penalties? All students should take responsibility for themselves as well as their education and stop the stealing of answers from others who do the given work and truly deserve the grade. You are not learning a thing when you ste.al answers from the person sitting next to you. In fact, you are just depriving yourself of the main reason why you are at college. It is about time Cabrini did something with the hopes of putting an end to something that is academically unacceptable. It's also nice to know that they are standing up for the right of all those people who honestly study for tests yet have their answers and ideas stolen. In the end, it is up to the student to make the descision to cheat or not to cheat because they are only hurting themselves!

Lack of organizationsighted To the Editor:

In response to the intramural program, the enthusiasm still exists among the students, but the organization is still not there. lntramurals provide a form of athletic competition but not on the same level as Division Ill athletics. In team sports it is a total commitment, but in intramurals it is a recreational commitment. Therefore, academics take priority over leisure activities. It was suggested that there be a sport night where anyone who is interested and has the time can participate in that night's sport. For instance: Thursdays 8-10 would be

hockey night. Anyone interested could come and teams would be selected. Therefore there would be no dependency on an entire team showing up. A night of fun andfriendly competition could be enjoyed with a limited amount of people. Cabrini is expanding to try to compete with bigger institutions, and yet they are unable to organize an intramural program. We do not blame Sam Valisiades totally for the failure of the program, we blame the whole Athletic Department. They've denied us volleyball, baseball. lacrosse, and now intramurals. What will be next? Frank Emmerich and Mark Gudas

Modelcall turnsintoa disaster To the Editor: Wouldn't you be flattered if you were asked to model for a hair care show. Of course! You would think the stylist would have to do a good job on your hair for his company. Right? WRONG! Don't be fooled or trust too easily! I was asked to model at the Valley Forge Convention Center for a hair show spon·sored by Raylon. Although I was anxious, I was also excited because the stylist "Don" and I had previously decided on a hairstyle that would enhance my features and fit my needs."Don" was to cut my hair in this style on stage, in front of about 100 people. You would think a smart and experianced stylist wouldn't pull any tricks especially in front of JOOpeople. Wrong again! "Don" decided to try something new and different with my hair while on stage,

without consulting me! The look he gave me was definitely not what we had decided on. "Don"· had cut my hair and had severely damaged it. For example, my bangs were now zig-zagged and I had a tail in the back of my head starting at the top! Thanks to "Don's" new style I had to go to a second hair dresser to salvage what was left of my hair that very same day! This time, I had to pay. By the time this escapade was over, my hair was very short and I was $25 in the hole. I know I wasn't the only person taken advantage of on Sunday, Nov .6, 1988. When talking to other girls who participated, they were equally as upset as I was. I will never forget what I went through at the hair show and I will cringe every year when it is held. Learn from my mistake and don't experiance it for yourself! Katie Mullen, sophomore

Cabrini spmt. Many of us are familiar with the term. Some may not have actually heard the words "Cabrini spirit" until this week, but rather have seen it in action. In my four years at Cabrini, I have not only heard of "Cabrini spirit," but I have seen it practiced on countless occasions. Cabrini spirit is linked to tradition. I think we are a fortunate few who attend a college where our founder is still alive, and more importantly visible, on campus. I literally get goose bumps every time I see Mother Ursula walking around campus. Our school is very young and we are having the most fabulous opportunity to wa~chit grow. In just four years, the changes that have taken place on this campus have been a constant amazement to me. I don't believe we would observe so much growth if we were at an older and more established· institution. It's interesting to see our school grow along with our own personal growth. I believe our school is kind of in an ideal time period right now. It is old enough so that there are traditions that have been passeddown over the years, yet young enough that we areestablishing traditions for future generations of Cabrini students. There are a lot of events at Cabrini that circulate a great outpouring of Cabrini spirit. Many are linked to tradition, as I already said. For instance, the Yule Log ceremony, Irish Minstrel. Show and Parents Weekend events are just a few which date back 30 yea~me ofthemorerecenteventsalsohave instilled a great amount of Cabrini spirit. One of the best examples takes me back in time to my sophomoreyear(two years ago) to Superthon weekend. It seemed like the whole school walked down to the lake across from the Gatehouse for two gigantic tug-ofwar contests between the classes. It was great! And that was just one of the many Superthon events that year. There is always a great amount of Cabrini spirit evident at Superthon. Last year's most memotable event, in my opinion, was the packed house at the all-night pub. Cabrini spirit is not only displayed in campus events, but also, and maybe more so, in the people. I was introduced to Cabrini spirit my very first week here. My big sister at Cabrini, Chrissy Jeffers, took me under her wing and showed me the ropes, so to speak of Cabrini spririt. As a member of the class of '87, one of the most spirited classes to come out of Cabrini, Chrissy was very spirited. She encouraged me to attend almost every Cabrini event, and invited me along with her friends from House 7. One of the most obvious causes behind Cabrini spirit is the close family-like atmosphere we share. You can walk down the halls and always receive a bright smile and "Hello" from people you don't even necessarily know. There is always someone there to help you when you need it. One of my most recent encounters with Cabrini spirit came just last week when I got a flat tire. I was in a hurry for a very important meeting with someone, and I had to get my tire changed so that I could be on my way. It was late on a Monday night and there was about five of us girls in the newsroom,

none of whom were really competent enough to change a tire. (I know - we should bave been.) Anyway, we were looking around the building thinking who we could ask and then someone suggested I askoneofthe guys in the radio station. Sure enough, there were two guys in the studio, and they immediately offered their assistance. So while the other guy continued their show, Joe Cavalier, a freshman who I hardly knew, took a half hour out of his night and changed my tire. I offered him money and he refused. I thought what he did was pretty impressive and was yet another shining example of Cabrini spirit! Cabrini spirit does not end when one graduates. I was in the Wayne Tavern Alumni Weekend and it was packed to the brim. The Cabrini spirit in that small bar was electrifying! Seeing so many old college buddies getting together and sharing old stories made graduation almost something to look forward to. When we were in high school, many ofus were able to get out of classes to attend pep rallies. Everyone gathered in the gym and cheered for their class, or for the school team before a big game: We don't have suclt things at Cabrini., yet it's obvious we do have spirit. We don't really I need such things as pep rally to show it, though I guess they'd be something different. There are lots of ways to show your Cabrini spirit. You can show it by just your caring attitude toward others. You can continue this caring attitude by caring about the people who go to a great deal of trouble to plan event s for the campus. Attend a dance. Support a class fundraiser. Support a team.

Basketball season is

coming up. Why don't you go out to a game or two and support the teams? All the home games are free this year for students and administration. I hate to sound like an old Coke commercial,

but "Catch the spirit!"

Cabrini College is the · first and only college in the United States to be named after Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini. St. Frances Cabrini was the first American to be canonized a saint. Cabrini College has direct ties to St. Frances Cabrini, but many members of the campus community are not familiar with the relationship. Our founder, Mother Ursula Infante, was just 14-years-old when she first met St. Frances Cabrini, then called Mother Cabrini. She went to Mother Cabrini at Columbia Hospital in New York City to request admission into Cabrini's order, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Heart. Mother Cabrini asked Infante if her parents would allow her to enter the convent. Infante answered "No, never!" So Mother Cabrini replied that Infante should wait until her 18th birthday when she could enter the convent without her parents' permission. So that is exactly wliat Infante did. She joined the order at Sacred Heart Villa in New York City, which is now Cabrini High School. She received her habit from Mother Cabrini herself. Shortly thereafter, in 1917, Mother Cabrini died. After she died, the order found a note she left appointing Mother Antoinette the new Superior General of the order.

Under Mother Antoinette's supervision, Sister Ursula was directed to found a college. The order had already estab1ished orphanages, hospitals, grade schools and high schools. It was time to form a college. The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart had-and still do have-a convent at St. Donato' s parish in Philadelphia. The Sisters were thus familiar with the area, and heard that the Dorrance Estate on the Main Line was up for sale. Sister Ursula came out and looked at the • . property and began ~akmg plans to purchase it. In 1957 Cabrini College opened Its doors. Forty-three students- emt>lled in four majors offered at Cabrini that year. Unfortunately, Mother Antoinette died before seeing her dream come true. Today Cabrini College preserves the memory of St. Frances Cabrini. In the Cabriniana Room, located on the second floor of the Holy Spirit Library, is a chamber dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of St. Frances Cabrini, as well as that of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. . The memorabilia in this room includes a vast array of letters, diary entries, news clippings and official reports dating as far back as 1889.

Committeesprovidepersonal, academicsatisfaction •'

by Marian Armstrong How are students elected to committees and why do students want to be on them? "The primary purpose of student committees is to get a student perspective," said Sr. Eileen Currie, president. Currie said that formoststudentcommittees, she makes it known to the student affairs office that she needs it to recommend names for a committee. Currie then makes the final appointment. However, for advisory boards, students are recommended by the group's director. According to Currie, one committee students don't serve on is the nominating committee, because the committee's purpose is to recommend new board members. This committee is only made up of trustees. Samantha Hidlebird, senior, is vice president of Kappa Sigma Omega, the service organization of the college. Hidlebird said that she was elected to be in Kappa by her fellow students and she was interviewed by the officers of Kappa. Now, however, students seeking Kappa membership must go through a pledge period. The pledge period consists of 15 hours of service, such as helping out with phonathons, tours, and open houses. Lisa Kantor, senior, is on the orientation committee and the feast day committee, as well as being a member of Kappa and vice president of her class. Kantor said that students are usually asked to be on committees. She was asked by the dean of students to be on the orientation committee and Sr.

Bernadette Anello, director of campus ministry, asked her to be on the feast day committee. Lisa Majka, sophomore, is one of the secretaries for the psychology club and is on the art works committee for the social works club. Majka said she was asked to represent the psychology club by one of the club officers, but volunteered to be on the social works club. She said, "You have to be willing to put time into it. You have to be devoted." Why are students willing to put time and devotion into being on a school committee? Angela Corbo,junior, serves on the athletic advisory board and the capital campaign committee. Corbo said, "You get to see how an administration is run behind the scenes." Kantor said, "You get to work with a very diverse group of people. I like to see people pull together and it all work out." Hidlebird said, "Kappa was responsible for promoting the college to prospective students and I thought it was a good opportunity. I wanted to give something back to the college." Majka said, "You feel more a part of the school when you 're taking part in something. I like being involved in social work because it's my major. It's like putting time and effort into what I'm going to be doing for the rest ofmy life." Corbo said, "It's important for students on committees to bring back information to the Student Government Association. I almost see myself as a liaison."

Studentsdo somethingfor peoplewho normallygo h~ngry by Karen Shank Over the last few weeks, many students have noticed the boxes present in hallways labeled "Thanks-4-Giving." These are the trademark of the approach of Hunger Awareness Week, which is now finishing. Kelly Evans, co-chairperson for the Thanks-4-Giving program, said, "It's satisfying knowing other people are going to be able to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner who might otherwise not be able to." Evans, Laura Walker, and Terrie Pancio will be bringing the food they have been .collecting from the boxes around campus to the Holy Child parish on Tuesday, Nov. 22. There the food will be sorted out and prepared for distribution to 50 families. Along with the food, they will also be collecting money in order to purchase turkey, cider, bread, and roasting pans. Though there is much personal satisfaction to be gained through this activity, Walker said, "I haven't really thought about personal satisfaction. I just do it because it's got to be done." Walker, Evans, and Pancio are hoping others realize it's got to be done too, since they are in need of volunteers to help them complete their task. As described by Francesca Bansbach, campus minister, "Hunger Awareness Week is a week of planned activities that involves the whole Cabrini community. It provides the chance for all of us to learn about hunger, and the opportunity to help alleviate it." The "kickoff' event for the week was the "Walk For The World's Children" on Sunday, Nov. 13. Participants walked from the Cabrini Medical Center in New York City to St. Patrick's Cathedral, then on to the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza near the U.N.

The purpose of .the walk was to gather funds through sponsors in order to construct a vaccine production facility in East Africa. At this facility, children would be saved from preventable diseases such as polio, measles, rabies and tuberculosis. Cabrini Spirit Day was Monday. There was a Feast Day Celebration Mass held in the Bruckman Memorial Chapel at 11 a.m. The mass was held in honor of Mother Cabrini, and in observance of Hunger Awareness. Bansbach said, "Mother Cabrini worked with the poor, so it fits well wit the theme." An Italian luncheon followed the mass, with a special appearance by Mother Ursula. On Tuesday, a Hunger Banquet was held in the Widener Center Gathering Are.a. Entertainment was provided at the Coffee House in the Gathering Area on Wednesday from 7:30 to 10 p.m. During this event, attendants were urged to write letters io legislarors expressing their desires to stop world hunger. Barbara Wilson, co-chairperson in charge of the Coffee House, explained this was a chance for everyone to enjoy themselves, while writing letters to show they feel the defeat of hunger is important. ~arlos Chamorro is the other chairperson. Wilson said, "To know that I am doing something to make people aware of hunger in the world is imponant to me." World Fast Day, which is observed internationally, was uniquely approached by the Cabrini community. A few days before Fast Day, which is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 17, sign-up sheets were available in the cafeteria. By· signing their name, students were giving up their lunch for the day. The money saved on each of these meals will be donated to a

charity for hunger. Additional donations were also accepted. Nov. 18 is the final day of Hunger Awareness Week. Planned for this day is a Third World Craft Fair. The fair will be held outside the Gathering Area from IOa.m. to 2 p.m. The crafts are all brought by the Crafts For Freedom Shop in association with the Central Baptist Church of Wayne. Volunteers sell the crafts, which are made by people in Third World countries. All the money raised at the fair will go directly to these craftsmen. A variety of goods, ranging in price from 50 cents to $50 will be sold. Jewelry, baskets, Christmas ornaments, toys and other items will be available to help everyone get an early stan on their holiday shopping. Bansbach said the two major goals of the week were to raise people· s consciousness

about world hunger and, through community panicipation in fun events, try to raise money to help alleviate hunger. In past years, these goals have been met. Last year over $1,200 was raised. Personal satisfaction is also a benefit for those who help run the events of the week, though it is not an intended or required goal. "I enjoy it very much," Bansbach said. "Not only do I get to see that we raise some money, but I get to see the work of the students on the Hunger Awareness Committee. They really knock themselves out!" said Bansbach. Karie Papay, councilperson of the Hunger Awareness Committee, was in charge of putting together the whole week. But for her, it was worth it. "Someone that is normally hungry is going to be eating, because I did something about it," Papay said.

Honestx

Studentsexpectedto recognizeresponsibilities by Marian Armstrong On May 23, the board of trustees approved Cabrini's new acad~mic policy. "A spirit of honesty is what we would really like to foster," said Dr. Marice Bezdek, professor of English and communications. "We expect students to be honest as part of their own personal development." Bezdek said the honesty policy inspired the creation of the academic honesty board, which will judge serious cases of dishonesty as part of its policy. It will also promote honesty in a positive way. Bezdek said that she didn't want students to see the new policy as a way of zapping them. "We want to celebrate people who do it the hard way." Bezdek said, "the most concrete result is that there is now a written procedure. Last year a professor could do whatever he or she thought was right. The faculty wanted to get a .uniformity of standards." As the student handbook states, students are expected to recognize their responsibilty for their own intellectual and moral development by maintaining honesty and integrity in all aspects of their education. In tum, the faculty is expected to foster academic honesty and personal integrity as part of its mission. This year there are certain guidelines. When a student is suspected of violating the policy, the instructor is expected to notify the student verbally with written documentation following the incident. The next step would be a student/teacher conference in which the instructor presents any evidence he or she might have. At this point, the instructor, may ask to see the student's prior work. Then the instructor will determine whether of not the student violated the policy. The penalties range from a lower assignment or test grade to possible expulsion, depending on the severity of the violation. If the student can prove that the instructor's decision was unsubstantiated or that the proper· procedures were not carried out, the student has the option of appealing the instructor's decision by filling out the appropriate form in the dean of student's office.

Languages· now required (CPS) - It's easierthan it used to be to get into college without having any foreign language credits, but most colleges now make it harder to graduate withou\_rliking some. In a survey of campus language requirements, the American Council on Education (ACE) has found that one in 12 colleges has increased foreign language requirements during the last five years. But less than 5 percent of the nation's community colleges, which emphasize preparing their students to get jobs, require entering students to know a foreign language. One in eight requires that students take a foreign language -before graduating. The authors of the ACE's study, called "International Studies for Undergraduates, I 987," were encouraged to find that 75 percent of the U.S. 's fouryear campuses make foreign language courses graduation requirements. "Enrollments in foreign language classes are increasing, at a time when enrollments in general are only holding steady," said Richard Brod of the Modem Language Association (MLA), apparently unaware that scores of campuses have had to cope with surprise enrollment increase this fall. Interest in its foreign language study has had its ups and downs. Brod explained that language requirements were more common before Worid War II. "There was a loosening in the 1950s and 60s. Then there was a revival." A 1987 MLA study found more than million students were enrolled in language courses other than English for the first time in 14 years. Brod attributes the increase to world trade pressures. Chinese and Japanese language courses - which have obvious economic benefits to budding business people - have enjoyed the biggest leaps in popularity. MLA figures showed 23,454 college students studying Japanese in l986,up45.4percentfrom 16,127 students m 1983. The number of students taking Chinese went up 28.2 percent in the same time period, from 13,178 students in 1986 to 16,891, the MLA found.

Dr. Antoinette Schiesler, academic dean, said, "I will follow the policy as closely as possible, but nothing is black and white. There may be some things that have to be weighed." "I hate to think that the pressure is so great that students have to cheat. There is never a reason to cheat. I'm big on telling students they have to take responsibility for their learning," said Schiesler.

"I think it's good to encourage academic honesty in the college. If you're not here to learn, or to learn fairly, then get out." -- Andrea Thompson, senior Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, said, "I would like to see the college go way beyond the guidelines. We need an honor system that applies not only to academics, but to academic life. Honor is when everybody stands up and says no more. When does it become honorable to report dishonor?" Andrea Thompson, senior, said, "I think it's good to encourage academic honesty in the college. If you're not here to learn, or to learn fairly, then get out." Mary Shimkus, freshman, said she likes the fact that students have the opportunity to prove whether they are right or wrong. She said, "Suppose a teacher suspected a student of cheating and the student really wasn't cheating. Little Johnny Blue may have just been daydreaming." "I think the policy is fair. I hate cheating. I find it a violation of someone's privacy. If students decide to cheat, they should take full responsibility for what they did," Shimkus added.

Memoriesrelivedas alumnireturn by Paula Phillips

On Nov. 11, 1988 at 7 p.m., they were back in action. The men's basketball alumni ranging from the class of 1977 to 1988 were back on the court to show they still had their talent. Twenty four men who played varsity basketball while they attended Cabrini came back for the annual alumni game. The oldest player was Tom Nerney who graduated in 1977 and who was also the first man to score 1,000 points. While the youngest player was Jimmy Welde who graduated in 1988. Other alumni who came back to play were alumni who had set records in their own time. Mike Bennett '82 was the first most

Everybody was just out for a good time and nobody appeared to have lost a step. "Some guys haven't lost anything despite their age," Dzik said. Keating, who graduated in 1982and whose number is retired, said, "I expected to get little excerise and a good time." "I was glad to come back to Cabrini's gym to play. It was good to play against and with people I use to play with. It takes me back to a lot of good times," Bennett said, The final score was the white team winning with 124 pointsandtheblueteam losing with 109 points. Davis was the leading scorer for the white team with 27 points. Other top scorers for the white team were Walden with 23 points and McQueen with 20 points. The leading scorer for the blue team was Jones with 24 points while Gilbert scored 20 points. Did this game make the alumni want to be students again? Keating and Nolen thought so. "Even before the game started I wanted to be a student again," Keating said. Nolen said, "It definitely makes me want to be a student again especially because it makes me want to play again."

Nerney "givesinspiration"to studentathletes by Kelly McGillan

He was the first man to score l ,000 points for Cabrini men's basketball. He's an alumnus of the class of 1977, and since 1985 he has been the chairman of the Athletic Advisory Board. His name is Tom Nerney, and

he is still involved in the Cabrini community. Nerney proposed the idea of a group especially formed to advise the college's senior staff as to the needs of the athletic program. After sending a general overview of reasons for such a group to the Board of Trustees and getting approval for the concept, he worked with Sister Eileen Currie, president, and John Dzik, athletic director, to formalize and assemble a board. As a former student and athlete, Nerney felt that the establishment of the board for the support of athletics would help Cabrini grow. "The athletic program helps round out the school," Nerney said, "In the school's effort to grow, I felt that more support could help the school become stronger for the student athlete." Dzik thinks highly of Nerney. "I classify him as a doer. A lot of people are planners and followers, but few are doers, and doers get things done." l'ierney described the night he scored his l ,OOOthpoint with a foul shot in the last game of his senior year. "The gym was full and in 1977 with about 370 students 1977. total in the school, it was a nice

When asked why he decided to attend Cabrini College, Nerney said, "I don't know." After a moment of hesitation he added, "I was planning on attending school in Minnesota.

FrustrationsconfrontJ..V. basketballteam by Bob Bonner Well, the presidential election is over and the choice has been made. But here at Cabrini there is a new choice to make. Cabrini now has two basketball teams. In 1987 the idea of having a junior varsity team fell through due to a lack of interested participants. However, this season is different. With a large turnout for tryouts for the varsity team, Cabrini has formed a J.V. squad. Under the direction of coach Ed Rowe, a former Cabrini basketball player and basketball scholarship winner the team faces a tough 18 game schedule. The new J.V. team is not officially playing in a league,

however, the squad will face many of the teams the varsity team played in '87 · when it was a member of the national association of intercollegiate athJetics(NAIA). The team consists of six players who play varsity as well as J. V. and seven players who play strictly on the junior varsity squad. Of the seven player!I who play strictly for the J.V. team, five are walkons (which means that they didn't have to try out for the team). This was necessary because •
