Studentsofferedopportunity to appealviolations

by Kelly Reed Did you ever stop and think how you would pay the bills if you were hospitalized for a long period of time?

What if you were the parentof a little kid who .needed a liver transplant, oould you afford it? · 1be answer is that. unless you were Donald Trump, you probably could not afford that kind of a financial strain. That is, if an organization such as Cabrini's Student Government Association did not help.

This weekend, Fri., March 17toSun.,March 19, SGA is sponsoring their annual Superthon, with all of the proceeds going to Children's Hospital in Philadelphia.

With rising medical costs, it is becoming more and more difficult for patients to afford the medical care they desperately need.

At Children's Hospital, there are 284 beds and 39 percent of those are in the Intensive Care Unit. The costs for the electronic monitoring and various medical procedures are astronomical.

Most of these patients require round-the-clock care and, because the majority of the hospital's patients are under two and a half years old, extra nurses, laundry workers and other staff are needed to meet their constant needs. ''Wesimplycannotrefusetohelpachildwhoisinneed for criticl, life-saving care,'' replied Shirley Bonnem, Vice President of the Public Relations Department at

Children'sHospital.

The funds from this weekend will make it possible for some families to afford operations and-medical procedures that they would otherwise not be able to. The proceeds from the Superthoilwill be use~ to make up the difference between what the families and'the insurance companies cannot pay.

by Lou Monaco Hear ye! Hear ye! The Cabrini College Resider:t Conduct Committee (RCC) is now in session.

Cabrini students and faculty offer students the chance to appeal any alleged conduct violation to a "court."

Conduct violations include: violation of quiet hours, underage drinking in dorms, illegal kegs at parties.drinking in hallways and the breaking of parietals in the residence halls.

The court is composed of five resident students appointed annual Iy by Cabrini President Sr. Eileen Currie.

These appointments are made by recommendations by faculty and student leaders. A faculty member, also appointed by the President, serves as an ex-officio, nonvoting member of the committee.

The 1988-89 members include: Senior Donna Dougherty and Juniors Colin Coakley, Carlos Chamorro, Meghan Kane and Laura Lombard. Sophomore Katie Mullen is the committee's recording secretary.

Dr. Jolyon Girard serves as ex-

officio member. Director of Resident Life John Doyle and Assistant Director Tyrone Carr serve as the prosecution.

Doyle said, "The com-

Also, the defendents at each trial session have to have representation, either by RSA (Resident Student Associa-

Mullen said, "The people that were chosen have been doing a good job. They are good listeners and they take time to care about both testimonies. · Each of them must react in a fair way and take their responsibilities very seriously."

However, as with any judicial system, there are

areas that need improvement.

Chamorro said, "We need to make students aware that this committee is there for them because a lot of people don't know we exist."

CoakJey said, ''There should be more decisionmaking power to the members of the committee. Aiso, more efficiency should take place with scheduling and continuances of court dates.''

Basil Ingemi, senior, who has been before the committee, said, ''The committee is a good idea but there are improvements that should be done. It takes a lot of the power away from the Office of Resident Life.''

Girard said, "For five years, I have been faculty advisor for the committee and, in my judgment, the committee has never made an incorrect decision regarding guilt or innocence. The students have done an excellent job. The purpose of the committeee is for students to judge students, peers to judge peers. They have never made a frivolous decision and I have nothing but respect for the members . of the committee.''

Cabrini'sapplicationsrisefor fan

by Barbara Wilson Although there is a decline in applications at many other colleges and universities in the Philadelphia area, the number of applications that Cabrini has received is on the rise.

Director of Admissions Nancy Gardner said that the number of applications that Cabrini has received is up 37 percent from last year.

Last year was the best year Cabrini has ever had with its total of 427 applications received, and, as of now, the admissions office has received 586 applications for this year.

There are two basic reasons why other colleges have had decreasing applications.

The first reason is that

there is a large drop in the number of high school graduates. This drop is a result of the falling birth rates, which affects the number of students enrolled in high schools.

The second reason for the decline in applications in the Philadelphia area is attributed to people moving to other parts of the country.

This decline has been predicted for years. However according to Gardner, the reason why Cabrini has not been affected by the drop off of applicants, is the fact the admissions office has taken the approach that Cabrini could have a problem at any time.

Gardner explained that Cabrini had marketing research done, and the results

help them better target the population of applying students.

"Cabrini has also prepared itself by making it a practice to telephone applicants. This is to give the applicants more personalized attention,'' Gardner said These steps have helped Cabrini fight off the possibility of the number of appli-' cations decreasing.

Cabrini does not have early admissions, because Gardner feels that students have a tendency to change their mind more than once, on where they would like to go to school.

However, Cabrini has rolling admissions. The process Cabrini uses in accepting students on rolling admission is that they set specific criteria that they

chose the students from.

Based on past information collected, Cabrini's admissions office knows generally how many people to accept. Cabrini's usual number of acceptances is around 500 which out of that number around 210 actually attend Cabrini.

According to officials the decline is expected to continue into the mid-1990's when it is expected to bottom out. Gardner feels th'at 1992 and 93 will be two rough years for college applications.

The major field of study most affected by this decrease is the science field. Possible reasons for this would be either the AIDS scare or bad hours and bad pay.

One of Cabrini's annual traditions will be held this weekend and everyone ishopingthatitwillbeasuccess.

Superthon, which is in its fifth year, is being run by the Student Government Association and all proceeds go to a non-profit organization.

This year the proceeds will be going to the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia.

Many students are not aware of what Superthon really is and could care less. Some even have the nerve to say it is boring and there is nothing to do.

On the contrary, there will be so much to do that the average student will fall in bed with exhaustion at the end of the day if they participated in everything that is being offered.

Superthon weekend is the perfect opportunity for all those students who walk around complaining, "There's nothing to do at Cabrini," to get involved and make a difference.

Granted, there are times that this campus is as dead as a doornail, but this weekend surely isn't one of them.

As a matter of fact, Superthon weekend is the time when most students come out to socialize, interact with their peers and support a good cause.

Most of all, they come out to have fun.

Just to give you an idea of how fun-filled and exciting this weekend will be, here are a few of the festivities that will be offered: The ever dangerous egg drop. Just who will they be dropped on and can teachers please participate?

The intricate and wild obstacle course. Does it dare to travel into some dorm rooms where no man has ever gone before?

The cute and cuddly feed the baby will be perfect for most Cabrini students and most specifically the men.

And who can forget the Battle of the Bands where one can't even talk to the person next to them without screaming. The Rocky Horror Show will be another blast filled with laughter, rice, toilet paper, water and toast (BYOR-Bring your own raincoat)!

Seriously, though, Superthon weekend will certainly be a hoot and is definitely the time to stay on campus. The whole weekend will be benefiting a good cause while also giving Cabrini students the opportunity to get together and have a ball.

Neighbor's exciting·life leavesmarkon student

by Barbara Wilson Recently, I have come to realize what it is to cherish and take advantage of the time I have with the people I have come to know.

A close neighbor of mine passed away.

He was the kind of neighbor that I saw frequently around the neighborhood and talked to as often as possible. At times I found myself looking forward to coming in contact, once again, with him just so we could talk. It was sometimes hard to find the time to talk with him because he was either away on a business trip, or when he was home, I was here at school. He was the kind of person I looked up to. He was a person I considered to be my perfect role model.

Mr. Bruce Bahrenburg was a man that l admired for a number of years for a number ofreasons. When I was growing up I would hear about the people he met, such as Andrew McCarthy, Bette Midler and Robert Redford. I would also hear about the wonderful places he had traveled to. like California, London and Italy. The way he lived, and the things he did, struck me as something that I could someday see myself doing. He was the kind of person who was filled with knowledge and stories that always seemed to intrigue me.

I found myself wondering what it was he actually did, what his job title was, and how was he so lucky to be able to go to all the places he traveled to? I, being the polite person that I am, did not want to play twenty questions with him, so I never really knew to what extent his talents reached. I finally found the perfect opportunity (being a communications major has it's advantages) to satisfy my curiosity. I figured I would ask him if I could interview him for my Career Development report, and that's exact! y·what I did.

Early in October of last year, I asked Mr. Bahrenburg if I could interview him. He said sure "come over whenever you have time.'' You see that was the kind of person he was, giving, friendly and always ready to help.

So finally here it was--the perfect opportunity. I would be able to ask every question I always wanted to and I did. After talking to him about the things I most wanted to know about, I admired him, even more. He wasn'tjustaperson who went to wonderful places and met wonderful people, he was a person who had held jobs and done things I have always wanted to do. He even inspired me to consider doing things that I would have never imagined myself doing before talking with him. His talents and experiences reached far beyond the things I had ever imagined.

Mr. Bahrenburg's many jobs ranged from being a newspaper reporter for 16 years to working as a unit publicist for over 45 movies which included "The Great Gatsby," "The Candidate" and the remake of" King Kong." What really impressed me was the fact that he had had six books published. Up until the time I had interviewed him writing a book was an idea of something that I wanted to do, but the idea was hidden somewhere in my subconscious. After talking to him I really began to think seriously about it and I am convinced, even if I have gray hair and am 90 years old, I will write at least one book in my lifetime.

What I am having a hard time dealing with is the fact that he is gone and that I will not be able to talk or even come to know him as I would have liked to. There are ·still so many questions I would like to ask this man, so many things I would have liked to have learned from him.

Mr. Bahrenburg died of a heart attack, not in his home but in Venice. Italy. At first, I was very upset that he had died someplace other then his hometown. But then people reminded me that he died doing what he loved. Hehadbeenin Venice doing research for a screenplay that he was working on.

I can still remember thinking at the beginning of spring break that when I went home for Easter break Mr. Bahrenburg would be home from his vacation in London, and I would make it a point to go over, knock on his door and actually visit once again this man who had a hold on my deepest respect.

I wanted to knowmffle about him, to maybe try and understand what kind of person he really was and maybe even get his advice on how I could reach some of the goals that I too wanted to accomplish.

I now wish that I still had an opportunity to talk to him, to ask him all the questions that I have thought of since our little chat.

As I try to make sense of his death and try to find the lesson that should be learned from it, I see that life is a very precious thing, a thing that should not be taken for granted. Ifl ever have another opportunity to ask a question or find out something new from a man as wonderful as Mr. Bahrenburg, I will take that opportunity and treasure it always.

Does it really matter if the color of our skins are different? Does it matter if our ethnic backgrounds are different?

St. Patrick's Day is approaching fast.

Although I don't look it, I am half-Irish. If you know me you know the other half is Italian. So, I ended up with the best of both worlds and I'm equally proud of both sides of my ethnic background.

Everybody should be proud of their heritage, and I'm glad I get a chance to celebrate mine on St. Patrick's Day. When I first thought about writing this article, I said to myself," Great!

what does it matter what we are, whether we are Irish or ltalian or Polish or Black. We all go through practically the same things. We grow up. We go to school. We work. We all try to do the best we can. We just look different and sometimes do things differently.

We should look at a person not for how much he makes or where he Jives or his ethnic background but look at how special that person is. He has a special place in this life just like each ofusdoes. That person has feelings. That person feels pain.

How can someone dare take a life of another or injure it? No matter who that person is, no matter what that person· s name is, no matter what that person does, that person is important. That person is a human being. That person has the gift of life.

We all have prejudices hidden inside us. I do. But what we all have to realize is, the person beside you is just as important as you are to other people. If we do hold grudges we should keep them to ourselves and not hurt others.

We have to think before we open our mouths. Sure everybody likes to make jokes, but sometimes that joke might hurt someone if it's directed at them.

We have to think before we act. Just by excluding someone we can hurt someone.

Did that man ever think of what Michael meant to others--his parents and his friends?

Does that man even feel a bit guilty for killing a young boy? What if that boy was his brother or his son? How would he feel?

What if that person who is being made fun of was yQuor your friend? I'm not trying to give a lecture to any-one.

I just want evezybody who reads this to think about what I'm saying and to understand what I felt when Michael got killed. Maybe if that man respected life and thought a little, Michael wouldn't be dead. He would still have his life to look forward to. His family and friends wouldn't be devastated. Nobody would have had to ·suffer, especially not Michael.

Nobody will have to suffer if people just think a little before they act.

When and if you do celebrate St. Patrick's Day, surely celebrate being Irish.

I surely will, but also celebrate life and everything around you. Respect life and celebrate it anytime you can. Capture it whenever you can because sometimes life is too short and maybe the next person who gets hurt might be someone you know.

So, an Irish Blessing for all of you:

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face.

And the rains fall soft upon yourfields, And, until we meet again.

May God hold you in the hollow of His Hand.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!

Iletters Response on homosexual article by gay Cabrini student To the Editor: In the Feb. IO issue of the Loquitur. a student wrote a lengthy artfcle on finding out her friend was gay. This experience could happen to anyone here at Cabrini.

I am a student here and I believe I may be homosexual. You may know me, or anyone like me. I may be male or female, resident or commuter, freshman or senior. I may be in one of your classes, but you will never know for sure. I look like you. I walk like you and talk like you. I am just like you--almost.

The difference is, I must hide. I may even have a boyfriend or girlfriend to keep up appearances. And you will never know who I am.

Being a homosexual is not always a choice. It is not easy to accept. Being unsure of your sexuality on a small campus such as this is especially difficult. The Cabrini grapevine would crucify you should you be found out, and it is hard to find out yourself with such pressures.

However, I do know that I am notalone.Somemay find ithard to believe, but I know of some 15 or 20 students here who are not heterosexual. While I applaud the efforts of the Feb. IO article, I would like to say it is not enough.

I want you to know it is not easy and the jokes make it worse. I hear them, and yes, I laugh. I must. If I express any bitterness or become up_~t. you will all find me out.

There are homosexuals on this campus and I know you are friends with them. If you have problems with the idea or suspicion that a friend or roommate may be homosexual, there are people you can talk to. There are professors on campus, as well as those at the Counseling Center who can help.

If you are someone struggling with your own identity, these people are there for you, too. You are not alone.

If someone confides in you, please be kind. And if you find out on your own, even just suspect, please do not start rumors. Even I have feelings, and I can be hurt--1 am human. And I could be your best friend. You never know.

Being gay is not always a choice.

I would not choose to be so different from what general society accepts. Homosexuals are a minority, and like most minorities, life can become very difficult for those within it. As a society, we must learn to become tolerant of all minorities.

For many of you, homosexuals are not real. You don't know anyone who is gay. Your life is not effected--or so you think. If you think it is too incredible for I in IO to have a homosexual experiences, wake up. This is the real world, and I am part of it.

An Anonymous Student

Eating concerns to be discussed during ·six-week support group To the Editor: Have you ever come home after a long day of work and stood at the kitchen counter eating one mouthful after another? Maybe you 're hungry to begin with, or just plain exhausted, and so you eat because you think it will make you feel better. As you stand there in a trance, thinking about the day, or the evening to come or even nothing in particular, your hand brings another mouthful to your face. One mouthful after another, after another, after another. And your stomach isn't even involved in the process anymore (until maybe it starts to hurt).

Or maybe you 're about to start a homework project, a paper, or an article or long-postponed studying for a test the next day. Once again the mouth starts to look for something to fill it, and the hand dutifully does its job. Or maybe you 're waiting for someone special to call; or you've just had an unpleasant talk with your mother; and the anger is rising within you, and the tension, and maybe feelings of depression. So once again you look for comfort in the cupboard, or freezer; a bag of chocolate chip cookies,a pint of ice cream or maybe a half-gallon. And then you pay

the consequences: guilt, self-judgment, and a new set of promises to "be good" tomorrow.

If any of these situations SOJ!nd familiar, you are not alone. Almost everyone, at some time in his or her life, has used food to satisfy emotional rather than physical needs.

We live in a society that is obsessed with food and the consequences of overeating: dieting and weight. For women, in particular, the message from the media is clear: a Skor candy bar ad states it baldly, "You can never be too rich or too thin!"

In a I 986 study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, four-fifths of girls in the fourth grade are dieting.

According to a Gallup poll of 1985, 3 I percent of American women ages 19 to 39 diets at least once a month, and 16 percent consider themselves perpetual dieters. Nearly 90 percent of Americans think they weigh too much, according to a 1985 survey

by Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

The saddest outcome of our preoccupation with food and dieting is the intensity of negative feelings associated with weight andbody image.Do youloathethe idea of buying a bathing suit

because you may see your body from the rear in one of those fitting room mirrors? For many women, their self-concept and feelings of self-confid~nce are based entirely on how they look. As their weight goes up and down, so does their self-esteem.

Americans spend $ IO mi II ion a yeartryingto lose weight. We buy diets, diet pills, dieting aids of all types, special foods and drinks, health club memberships, etc. Nine million Americans are exercising to lose weight. The unfortunate fact is that 98 percent of those who lose will regain and 90 percent will regain more weight than they lost.

The good news is that you are not doomed to a vicious cycle of overeating and unsuccessful dieting. With persistence and support, you ~an learn to build new, selfsupportive attitudes towards both food and your body. The Counseling Center staff will be offering a six-week Food Preoccupation Support Group starting Wednesday, March 29, from 4:30 to 6:00.

Janitor gripes To the Editor: Janitor,n.- one employed to clean and service a building or establishment, as an apartment house, school or office.

What? Nothing about watching, "Days of Our Lives" or "Loving."

And I don't understand, they have to keep the place clean, too. We , Xavier residents, do not have a janitor then.

It could be that man who I thought was the cleaning supplies vender. You know, that guy who gets paid by the hour to slowly walk his cart up and down the hall and occasionally lends out the vacuum.

If you still don't recognize the man I'm speaking of, it's the person that sits in the Great Room all day and gives everyone the latest dirt on the soap operas (I'm not certain if he charges for that).

Also, on a good day, you can catch one sleeping in his car, like I have on two separate occasions.

And a janitor shouldn't refuse to clean up something that's too messy. Don't they have some kind of Hippocratic oath between them?

I'm sure real janitor's must.

I propose that each quad is given the cleaning supplies for themselves, since we eventually clean up for ourselves anyway, and we take the money used for paying the "janitors" and use it as a scholorship for someone who can really serve the public!

Sincerely, John Jaczko, Xavier Resident

Upset over computer lab Reflecting on unpleasant childhood experience

To the Editor: This letter concerns the Computer Lab in Sacred Heart Hall. I am writing because I am very dissatisfied with the service provided by the Lab. Specifically, I am unhappy with the (un)reliability of the hours of the Lab. There is a schedule posted on the door of the Lab, detailing who is monitoring the Lab and when.

Many times, especially on weekends, I go to the Lab when it is scheduled to be open only to find the student monitor has not shown up. (Not every monitor is unreliable, of course, but how do you know when someone won't show up?)

Security can't help out: Security is allowed to open the Lab only if there is a registered monitor on duty. In fact, the officer I talked to said about five people had already called over a period of less than two hours, and he asked me to complain to the proper people so that something is done about this problem.

Right now am in the Newsroom in Widener Center, using WordStar instead of WordPerfect. Sure, I can survive using this software instead of the other, but why should I or any other student have to?

I took a class to learn WordPerfect so I could fulfill part of my Computer Competency requirementto graduate, so why aren 'tthe computer resources available to the students if computers are so important to the college?

Using two different word processors means I have files for each kind of software--how am I supposed to keep my papers organized and well-written if my diskette is disorganized from working here one time and there the next?

And what about all the students who use the spreadsheet programs and other resources found only in the Computer Lab? Another question I have is: Do the student monitors get credit for the hours they don't work, or does the Lab know they haven't worked?

Consequently, either the college is being "defrauded" by these potentially dishonest employees, or the Lab is ignoring a serious problem.

I would be happy to talk to anyone--be they student or faculty member-who has an interest in this issue, because it is self-evident that action must be taken. Perhaps the Lab should modify its policies regarding opening the Lab on weekends. Clearly the Computer Lab is not serving the college satisfactorily.

The Children'sSchool

Imaginationprovokes"magicstairs"and "purplewhales"

by Marian Armstrong Behind Grace Hall and beyond the new parking lot lies the land of the little people.

The land is known as The Children's School.

The Children's School consists of four bright-pastel-colored rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms (with miniature size sinks and toilets) and a playground. It is home to two rabbits, two hamsters, two newts, a hermit crab and a tank of guppies.

Amongst it all roam the children, 42 in all and all between the ages of 3 and 5 years old.

They are under the guidance offourteachers certified in early childhood education.

What makes this children's school different from other pre-schools?

One of the differences is the fact that The Children's School is located on a college campus. Ellen Jackson, director of The Children's School, said, "It gives the children the opportunity to know a lot of people they otherwise wouldn't know."

Jackson said that the children visit the college for gym and musical activities. They also attend puppet shows at the college and on St. Valentine's Day the campus mailroom

Pre-schoolers from Children's School at play. (photo by Karen Sieg/) more creative. That type of education is good for their imagination. This is their time to grow socially," Donna Amoroso, sophomore work study student, said.

Anne Greenwald, mother of Debbie, 5, said, "I think the family grouping style of programming is what we like most about it.

When you blend the ages, the older children

are role models,•• Greenwald said. Debbie is in her third year at The Children's School.

Lois Stauffer, mother of Mattie, 4, likes the subtle learning approach the school offers as well as the interaction with teachers and all age groups. She also liked the fact that the children have the opportunity to make their own choices. ''There was nothing that even

compared. That's what he (Mattie) thrives on, being able to do his own thing,'' she said.

"The atmosphere is very family oriented. The kids treat each other as family.

They treat the adults as family.

We communicate.

It's not like talking to or talking at," Sheryl Gerrow, teacher, said. ''It's a loving, caring place,'' Gerrow

stamped the children's letters to their ents.

"I guess they justthink it's kind of nea being on a college campus. I think the have fun looking at the classrooms," Kathy Smith, student teacher. senior, said.

Smith said the children call the college th big school ·and refer to the ramps tha connect Widener Center and Sacred Hea Hall as the magic stairs.

Carmela Cantone, student teacher, sen ior, said, "It (the college) doesn't seem t be a scary place to them." She said th children attend the college for activities sue as computers. "We don't make thechildre do things they don't feel comfortable doing," she said. Not only do the children go to th college, but the college goes to the children.

For example, Jackson said that Dr. Carte Craigie, professor of English and comm uni cations, visits every Halloween to read th children stories.

The Children's School is also freq uente by worlc study students. ''The work stud students have got enthusiasm and fresh ideas.

They're full of fun and they're very respon sible. I don't know of any other way smal children would have that exposure,'' Jackso said.

The Children's School is also differen from most pre-schools in its methods o teaching.

It is family-grouped, which means th children aren't divided by ages. Also, th children are encouraged to make their ow decisions and to produce their own crea tions. It is not an uncommon sight to see a 3 year-old pouring his or her own juice. "W want the kids to learn through hands-o experience. If it's notreally theirs, it's no as meaningful to them," Jackson said.

According to Jackson, the children's da isfullofvariety. From 9 a.m. to lOa.m. th children have free choice. Free choice c consist of music, puppet shows, bloc building, reading and telling stories and play ing dress-up. Snack time is at 10a.m. Snac time may consist of crackers and cheese cookies or fruit.

After snacktimeisbiggrouptime.

Atbi group time all the children spend time to gether. Small group time is later on. Smal group time is the only time of the day i which the children are grouped according t their ages. They are divided into thre different age groups.

After small group, weather permitting there is about 30 to 60 minutes of outdoo play. Lunch time is around noon and afte lunch is nap time for the young~r ones. Th older ones play for a while and then nap.

Irregular class attendance proves to affect grades

by Linda Smisko .. Are you going to class today?" ··Nah." "Why not?"

"It's too boring."

"Well, what are you going to do then?"

"I think I'll go shopping instead."

Does this sound familiar? It should if you· re a cutter. Cabrini students cut classes for various reasons such as boredom, lack of sleep and inattentiveness.

"When I've cut, it hasn't affected my grades in any way. I've missed notes and had to borrow someone else's. It's hard using another person's notes because they don't take them like you do,'' Colin Coakley, junior, said.

An anonymous freshman said that she cut a religion class one day because of boredom.

She went shopping in place of class that day.

Jeff Foley.sophomore, said that students may cut if they are hung over from drinking the J1ight before.

"You have to prioritize. If I have a meeting or other class work, I skip class to catch up on other homework. ''I've honestly skipped class because I didn't feel like going. Sometimes I get days or times mixed up and I forget the class. I don't just blow classes off and not do anything about them,'' Foley Said.

Other students take a more responsible attitude towards cutting classes.

"I've only cut one class, gym, because of sickness," said Andree Jost, senior.

Robyn McAnulty, sophomore, said, "I think the more responsible people are the ones who pay for college themselves. They usually don't cut.

"I don't usually cut unless a class allows a certain amount of cuts, and I don't miss anything by cutting."

Frank Iacono, senior, said, "Last semester I cut because of the BI ue Route construction and congested roads. I lost valuable notes by missing class, but I did get them from fellow classmates."

"I try to go to all my classes. Ifl do cut it's usually for a good reason like sickness. As a result, I miss class notes, but nothing drastic happens,•' Karen Dumorney, sophomore, said.

Concerned parents were asked for their reaction towards students cutting classes.

Jim Holfelder, father of Susan, sophomore, said, "I don't look too highly on students cutting classes."

Angie Falcone, mother of Felicia, also a sophomore, said, "I don't think students should cut classes. If you are paying the money, then you should go to every class."

Some members of Cabrini's faculty were

asked how t hey viewed the cutting of classes on campus .

Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, said that he does not know of any course at Cabrini that necessitates nonattendance. Courses that rely heavily on inclass discussion and explanation would be tough to miss.

"I assume that students are taking my courses because they really want to, not because they are fulfilling a requirement. I like it very much when students show courtesy when they miss class,'' Romano said.

Romano said that last semester he taught two classes, A and B, with 32 people in each class. Class A had 49 absences with a 1.5 average absence per student. Class B had 102 absences with a 3.8 average absence per student. Class A did 45 percent better than class B regarding grades.

Romano said, "I don't have data to prove this, but I've found that I have better attendance from commuters for early classes and in bad weather."

Romano said that in his nine years of administration as vice president of academic affairs, he saw a direct correlation between low attendance and low grades.

"Earlier in my administration, the tendency of students to cut class was a symptom

of a cause. The students didn't want to miss, but maybe they weren't ready for school.

In recent years, the pattern is more of, it's a thing to do. There was remorse by students in earlier years. Lately it's been, it doesn't matter if I miss five classes. I don't know what has caused the switch,'' Romano said.

Dr. Arthur Young, professor of English, said that all of his syllabi clearly state that students are expected to inform him if they miss class and that it will affect their grade.

"I think it's important to attend all the classes because you can learn a lot from questions raised at a lecture or discussion that you might miss from copying someone else's notes.

"Class is like a contract. Instructors and students should do their best to get there and learn.

"I'm really concerned with the perpetual cutter. How will they pass?", Young said.

Barbara Rubin, assistant director of the CARe center, said, "Learning is a collaborative endeavor.

Every time someone doesn't show up for class, they are letting the rest down in some way.

One of the characteristics of a successful person is that they play an active role in the things that they do," said Rubin.

For some, college is the chance to expand your knowledge, gain a degree in a desired field and a time to learn responsibility. For others, it is an all-expense-paid playground and week.Jong resort.

Despite some of the Hollywood stereotypes of college which depict the institutions of higher learning as a booze-swilling, girl- and boy-chasing den of iniquity, some people do accomplish their goals of fine grades and manage to gain a sense of responsibility.

Senior Steve Pascali said, "I'm not going to cheat myself out of having fun, but I still maintain a sense of loyalty to my studies".

But college is more than just books and learning. It's getting involved and learning how to deal with real-life situations presented and experienced every day in the "real world."

It's hard to really say how many students consider college a learning experience or the playground away from Mom and Dad, because everybody seems to have experienced both at one time or another during their college careers.

Dean of Students Bob Bonfiglio said, "I think they consider it a learning institution, but they also recognize it as a last chance to be free."

Senior and Student Government President Joel Zazyczny, thinks that one evolves into the other. "It starts off freshman year as a playground,and then you take life more seriously because you 're about to enter the real world.''

- Senior Resident Assistant Pete Bisconte said, "I think the majority of students consider it both.

Everything you do is a learning experience,whether it's participating in activities or going to classes.

I've learned the most dealing with

people out of class and in joyous situations thrust upon me by my R.A. position."

Cabrini does offer students the chances to gain prior knowledge of the working world before being ceremoniously released into it. Some examples of this are athletics, work study programs, resident life, student government, and co-op, just to name a few.

How did S.G.A. help Zazycznyz ''It gave me responsibilities to take on, the ability to make decisions, and the chance to deal with

"I'm not going to cheat myself out of having fun, but I still maintain a sense of loyalty to my studies."

-Steve Pascali, senior people on an everyday basis."

Bisconte said, ·'It taught me what it meant to be a peon.

I learned how to work in a chain of command.''

Do not fear, future graduates. If you have no idea how to find a job or where to find one, the school offers workshops and a senior newsletter which lists job fairs and opportunities.

Donna Seckar of the career counseling center said, "There's a career fair here at Cabrini in October of '89. Also, a number of the alumni contact us when they have job openings.

"As far as offered courses go, there are resume writing workshops and interviewing skills.

We're going to have a workshop on April 12 about budgeting and preparing for life after Cabrini and learning to live on your own."

But whether or not graduates are prepared for the working world

depends upon that person. Seckar said, "I think most are, if they made the best use of their time here, and they're responsible individuals.''

Bonfiglio said, "I think experiences as an R.A. or M.A. (medical assistant) help more than any course."

Bonfiglio also made a strong emphasis on the subject of internships. "I think that academically, the emphasis on internships give a good idea of what the working world is like.

'• I get the sense that most of the students working now have a hand on what's expected from employers."

Those students who are presently working in a cooperative education job are getting a solid start in their field. But what exactly is a co-op job?

It is a class-related job which earns a student credits while he or she learns about a specific field and gains hands-on experience.

Bisconte voiced some gripes along with good points about his student teaching job. •'As a student teacher, I feel like I'm being shafted out of a second semester of my senior year.

"While student teaching is a great experience and I'm learning a lot, it is a most unnatural situation because when I'm in the working world, I won't be coming back to a dorm of 23 guys."

Pascali, who also has a co-op job, said, "I find the work I'm performing now more intellectually stimulating than any stuffy old book.''

Bisconte's view of student teaching wasn't totally biased.

"There are some good points to student teaching. I get two spring breaks and I'm done on May 5 with o fin ls."

Jost is sports-oriented as well, and plays softball, basketball and volleyball, although she prefers softball.

Maintaining a 4.0 average can be time-consuming, but in her free time, she likes to play softball or '• curl up with a good book while listening to Mozart. I also love to write," she said.

When asked what qualities she felt helped her get picked for this award, she said,'' I feel I have !eadership capabilities and discipline. Discipline is a universally accepted trait that you can apply to everything you do."

Jost said that she's really happy to receive this honor because it's an affinnation of all that she• s worked for.

Jost is conversant in Spanishand loves to read and write Spanish, although she has no one to talk to in Spanish. In her non-Spanish classes she takes her notes more than half in Spanish to make it fun for herself.

In the summer of 1987, she studied for a month in Salamanca, _a major province in Spain, and then took three and a half weeks to vacation around Spain.

Rebecca Rebalsky, senior, was recognized by Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges for her all around academic excellence during her college career. ''The award is an incredible honor that makes me feel that mycollege career was worthwhile,"Rebalsky said. •·rm really thrilled and honored to be in such good company.

Outstanding students are recognized, and it's hard to think of yourself in that manner."

Rebalsky has been a staple of many activities during her college career. Her extensive resume includes vice-president of the history club, student representative on the Curriculum Committee, English and communications representative on the Student Academic Counsel, and the student member of the Comprehensive Campaign Case Statement Committee.

The many ~wards showered upon her are the Presidential Scholarship, Bruckman Scholarship, Deans List (every semester), Cabrini Honor Society. and Delta Epsilon Sigma--National Honor Society.

Rebalsky stated that she doesn't see herself in the true "student leader" mode. "Student leaders at Cabrini are very visible. But there is another faction of us who become involved in one or two groups and do more behind the scenes--that's me,' Rebalsky said.

Rebalsky's "other world" isherjobatthe Suburban and Wayne Times newspaper. Her work for them has run the gamut from staff reporter to editor of the fall education guide to the large responsibility of being editor of their Chesterbrook edition. ''Aside from writing for the Loq u i tur last year, I do the bulk ofmy writing for the Suburban.

I love it there," Rebalsky said.

Upon graduation, Rebalsky sees the poss.ibility of staying with the Suburban, and going to graduate .schoolto get anMBA in m~eting.

"When you get an award like this, you say to yourself, Wow! I guess in my own way I've done some good things.'

And it is nice that other people recognize that,'' Rebalsky said.

RosanneRosse/lo

by Melissa Middleman Upon receiving Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, Rosanne Rossello, of King of Prussia, Pa., felt surprised and honored.

"I thought I didn't have enough activities, or civic service achievements," she explained.

In her seven semesters at Cabrini (she graduated this past December), Rossello has acted in four theater productions, received two academic scholarships, was -elected to three honor societies, tutored in four academic subjects, contributed to both Cryptic and Loquitur, and sung in the Chorus.

Rossello, a graduate with a degree in English/ communications, attained Dean's List status each semester. She is a Brockmann Scholar, and is a member of both Delta Epsilon Sigma, and Lambda Iota Tau, the literary honor society.

The recipient of an Alumni Scholarship, Rossello has tutored students in biology, English, computers, writing and photography.

Theater was one of Rossello's main activities while at Cabrini. She held lead roles in several Cabrini productions, such as "The Miracle Worker," "Our Town," "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "Charlotte's Web." Rossello was active in special productions for Parents Weekend events, as well as the annual Irish Minstrel Show.

For two years, Rossello was Art and Graphic Editor of Cryptic, in addition to being staff photographer for Loquitur. She was also a member of Kappa Sigma Omega, and participated in Cabrini's Chorus, of which she is still involved, even though she has graduated.

During the past few months, Rossello has been busy pursuing her interest in the theater.

''I just finished directing and choreographing a show at a parish in Conshohocken,'' she explained. The production, which featured 45 people, was a musical, the first such show at St. Philip Neri, the parish. Prior to the musical, most of the shows were follies.

"We had to incorporate kids into the show," said Rossello. "some as young as three or four."

Rossello is planning an audition for a show at Drexel University, in which she would act. This would continue through the summer months.

In the meantime, Rossello is job-hunting, preferably forwork'involvingdesk-top publishing or graphic design. She would also like to freelance or consult.

by Sharlene Sephton One ofthemostvisibleandinvolvedseniors on Cabrini's campus, Joel Zazyczny, has been recognized by Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

All seniors received ballots in the fall and nominated those peers they felt have best represented the ideals of the college.

Students with the most nominations were requested to send in their resumes to be evaluated by members of the administration, staff, faculty and student leaders. Twelve students were ulti/ mately chosen and will be awarded cer~'ii ,,1//' I• I tificates at the Spring Convocation. , Due to his four years of dedication and leadership service given to Cabrini and the surrounding community, Zazyczny can now add this nomination to his list of academic honors.

Zazyczny's wide range of interests certainly has provided him with this opportunity. His activities on campus include a two year presidency of Student Government, membership in Kappa Sigma Omega, and influential positions on several committees including the Academic Advisory Board, College Judicial Board, Master Planning Committee, and a co-chair on the Code of Conduct Committee.

Traditionand hon.ormarkSaint Patrick'sday The legendof St. Patrick

The IrishMinstrelShowtradition

by Lou Monaco

'

-;.

When you ask people what makes the month of March so special, you may encounter the following responses: the beginning of spring, the opening of baseball's spring training, the infamous NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament, the greenery of ole St. Patrick's Day and here at Cabrini, the annual Irish Minstrel Show.

1989 marks the 24th anniversary of the show. Since 1964,Cabrini students, despite the varied amounts of acting experiences, have displayed their individual talents through Irish song and dance.

The two mainstays of the show are Dr. Joseph Feighan and Joann Rondini.

They have been with the show since the early . stages of the show's inauguration.

Rondini said, ''The show was put together for the students to have a good time. It's a break in the semester where students can wind down and just have fun."

Cabrini students, parents, faculty, friends and outsiders all come to watch this annual tradition unfold. During the past few years, crowds of over 400 people have flocked to the Cabrini Cavalier Gymnasium to be entertained. When they leave the gym, they leave with a sense of

laughter and goodness in their hearts.

Peter Bisconte, senior and veteran of the show for threeyears, said, "The show is a lot of fun. You go up on stage and just act goofy and stupid. The show basically is good clean fun, gives a look at the lighter side of Cabrini, and it kicks up the festive spirit of St. Patrick's Day." Colin Coakley, junior and showstopper for two years, said, '.'It gives the students the night off and showcases some of the hidden talent in the school. The show is a legend in its own time."

Through the years, the show has had some funny moments. Everything from scenery falling during the show, a singer--who, when it was time to sing-couldn't, and a major injury to one's head when he banged it too hard in a coffin during a

scene.

Yes, indeed, the

show has hadits moments.

One ofthis year's highlights will include a duet, sung by freshmen Mark Gudas and Frank Emmerich to seniors Lisa Kantor and Mary McGill.

Emmerich said, ''It gives me the opportunity, I hope, to make a fool out of myself in the right way in front of friends and family.'• Angie Corbo, junior and first-year performer, said, "I Jove being on stage! I love acting! The fear factor does not bother me."

The Irish Minstrel Show is rich in tradition, great entertainment and a bunch of laughs all rolled into one unforgettable rfonnance.

by Jim Bligh Every March 17 the Irish stop and reflect on their heritage and honor the patron saint

of Ireland, Saint Patrick. Some people are surprised to learn that St. Patrick was a real man with an important past, and that he doesn't fall into the same category as the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

Patrick was born Patricius Magonus Sucatus in 389 A.D. to Roman and British parents. At age 14, he was kidnapped by raiders and forced into slavery in Ireland, which at the time was a hotbed of paganism, magicians and violence.

During his six years as a slave, Patrick becrune more faithful to God and prayed frequently. He received a message in a dream telling him to escape and return to his native country, which he did, and it was then that he began .preparing for a much larger mission: the conversion of Ireland The most commonly held view of Patrick's commission, according to Butler's Lives of the Saints, says that he received his holy ordersduring a 15-year-stay at Auxerre, while Pope Celestine sent Palladius to Ireland. Palladius died almost a year later, and St. Gerrnanus commissioned Patrick to take his place and evangelize in Ireland.

There are many stories and legends that go a long waytowardselevatingPatrickinto heroic status, including banishing snakes from Ireland with his staff. But there are a few which are given more credence than others and help us understand the man and his life better.

At one point, Patrick had a confrontation with the Druids, or magic users, and with God's help, he managed to impress the people enough with the power of Christianity that they allowed him to stay and preach.

This, by no means, implies that he had it easy. He was trying to convert a nation of lawless, violent pagans who bad little desire to give up their heathen ways. Shortly before his death, he wrote, ''Daily I expect either a violent death or to be robbed and reduced to slavery or the occurence of some such calamity.''

But his faith didn't waiver and he added, "I have cast myself into the hands of Almighty God, for He rules everything; as the Prophet saith, 'Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he Himself will sustain thee."'

Probably the most famous story about St. Patrick tells us he was trying to explain the concept of the Blessed Trinity to the multitudes in the fields where he was preaching. They did not understand how there could be three divine persons in one God. Patrick bent over and picked up a clover and showed them the threeleaves but only one stalk. That is one reason why the Shamrock is the most common of St. Patrick's Day symbols.

By the end of his mission, Patrick, at first just a substitute evangelical, and, with the help of his disciples, managed to convert the entire.country. He died in or about 461, and was buried where he erected his first church.

Beyond all the hype and greenness surrounding the day, there lies a man of great faith and determination who had a great influence on early Christianity. So just before you strap on your party hat, and right before you hit that first pitcher of green beer, stop and think about St. Patrick. Then toast to him. He would have been 1600 years old today.

Pros and cons of resident, commuter life

by Linda Smisko Why do commuters and residents change roles?

Is college life any easier for a commuter, or a resident?

These questions were posed to seven students who have changed their roles or are in the process of doing so. The students explained_ their reasons for the switch and discussed the pros and cons of being either a commuter or a resident at Cabrini College.

Residents become commuters for financial reasons, a sense of independence and to prepare themselves for life after graduation.

Kathleen McCabe and Jacquelyn McClernan, seniors, were both residents during their freshman and sophomore years. Half way through junior year they moved home.

In July of 1988 they got an apartment off campus.

McCleman said that she decided to commute because she was not utilizing the benefits she purchased. "I didn't eat in the cafeteria and I went home almost every weekend in junior year," said McCleman.McCabe said that commuting and living off campus can give one a better financial sense and independence. "But it's hard to get an apartment when you're a student. Also, it is hard to keep organized," said McCabe.

There are, however, disadvantages.

McCleman said, '' I feel out of touch with everything being a commuter.

Now I wouldn't know where to sit in the cafeteria.

You lose something when you move away from campus.'' ''I think senior year is the best time to live

off campus. It helps get you ready for the real world," McCleman said.

Commuters, on the other hand, become residents for convenience and involvement in college life.

Karen Siegl, senior, was a commuter

"It's loud in the dorms and tough to get to sleep at night. The food is the worst I've had in my life. I want to drop the meal plan, I barely use it. You're trapped into the meal plan."

-Bob Bonner, sophomore freshman year. Sieg! did not like the inconvenience that traffic posed during rush hours. "Time was a big problem. I like to be at places on time," said Sieg!. ''Commuting was good in the sense that I had use of a car to come and go as I pleased.

I had the freedom to leave campus when I wanted. I could keep in touch with my family," Siegl said.

Regarding residency, Siegl said, "I love being here. As a senior, I have a lot more independence. I am happy with my choice because I like having an identity on campus.

I feel like I belong."

Johanna Church, sophomore, plans to become a resident next semester. •'The only reason I was a commuter was because of the money, and I didn't want to leave home.

"It's loud in the dorms and tough to get to sleep at night. The food is the worst I've had in my life. I wanted to drop the meal plan, I barely use it.

THISYEARS REQUIREDREADING FOR 1,000,000 COLLEGEGRADS Welcome to Real World 101. You'd be surprised how many college students go from highlighting their textbooks to highlighting the classifieds.

The fact is, a staggering number of graduates are unable to secure a career in their field of study.

That's why there's a nationwide program for college students called Cooperative Education. It allows students to alternate studies at the college of their choice with paid, practical work experience in the career of their choice. So Co-op Education students graduate with more than a degree.

They have practical knowledge. And a competive advantage in a crowded job market If you're a student, you should seriously consider the Co-op Education Program.

Because after years of studying in college, the last thing you need is another reading assignment.

Grace Leuzzi, senior, sometimes uses power naps to help her fall asleep. "I feel more relaxed after I take one,'' she said.

Samantha Hidlebird, senior, takes power naps by herself and with the help of Katherine Preston, Ph.D., director of the

counseling center. She said, "I feel the stress leave my body, which is really important to me. That makes mt> feel revived. It really feels good too."

Goodman will be offering a meditation power nap on Mar. 30, a progressive relaxation power nap on Apr. 13 and a self-hypnosis power nap on Apr. 27. The power naps will be held in Xavier Hall's Great Room from 12:45 to l :45.

sports Dzik from 16 we were only good on a regional or local level, but we've been very competitive on a national level.

Who cares? After awhile, why should we care if the school doesn't care?

Loquitur: What do you think the problem is ...apathy?

Dzik: Ignorance. Ignorance and a lack of understanding ·at a collegiate level. Ignorance.

Loqui!ur: Do you think you do enough to ...

Dzik: Complain about it? No, I don't. And I probably should be more political, and I should probably blow my horn more often but I'm not that kind of person. My modus operandi is, ''Here's what I do, evaluate it... good or bad." I'm not going to tell you how good I am. You figure out whether I'm good or bad. We've been doing a good thing for almost 10 years now.

The only thing I haven't seen yet that I suspect will come out soon is as soon as we don't win 20 games for the first time, everyone will want to know what's wrong.

Everyone will want to know, "Well, what's wrong? You didn't win twenty games this year. Have you lost your touch as a coach, or are the players not as good?''

Everyone wants to know what it is... We coach, we play for ourselves a lot of times. I talk about Cabrini tradition, I try to push Cabrini tradition down people's throats. It's easy to win a championship, that's easy. Try defending it. Try defending it year after year after year. Thar s what's hard.

Loquitur: So would you say that right now that's your biggest

loquitur problem?

Dzik: I would say that our program is more admired by other schools in the area than it is by our own school. There are other schools that envy what we have, and really admire what we have, much more so than our won people do. What's the difference between Villanova basketball and Cabrini basketball? They have a bigger facility, they have bigger players.

Their players don't play any harder than our players do. They haven't been more successful that we have. And everbody's a Villanova fan. They're on T.V., we're not. There· s no difference. And yet everybody's ga-gaat Villanova about Villanova. Not everbody's ga-ga at Cabrini about Cabrini.

And you know, that's on our students, that's not on us. If people can't support a quality product, then what's the problem?

Loquitur: What do you say to the person who says, "Well, Villanova is Division I and we are only Division III." Dzik: So what? You go to Cabrini, you don't go to Villanova.

Take pride in your own school, take pride in what you know, the people you sit in class with every day. Kids that come here, I don't know what their problem is. I wonder what some of these kids did in high school.

Loquitur: Don't you think that this problem is prevalent in other programs as well.

Dzik: Where's the problem?

The problem isn't with the program! The problem is with the students. But when are the students going to get off their lazy butts and do something about it?

Because, guess what? Eventually

friday, mar. 17, 1989 people are going to start saying, "Hey, we're tired of putting together quality programs for the students, if the students aren't going to support them." We're beating our heads against the wall and they don't care!

PLAYERS Loquitur: Have players attitudes changed over the years?

Dzik: It's hard for me to generalize, but. ..I think the players we had in the early going were not as talented, but maybe more dedicated, and that our players today are maybe more talented but not as dedicated. But today, students in general have a lot of things pulling at them too ...they have to work and this and that.

Loquitur: Who was the best athlete you have seen over the past decade?

Dzik: That'seasy. Thetwobest here at Cabrini, one male, one female--Allen Jones (87' graduate who now plays with the Harlem Globetrotters) and Freida Gibbs (Kodak All American and leading scorer in the country).

jock theory." The student-athletes at this school work harder than a lot of the regular students who do nothing because the student athletes have to, as well as manage their classes, support themselves financially and practice their particular sport. And in some instances, especially on the women's side, multi-sport athletes who go yearround ...people like Chrissie Federico and Christy Courseault ...those people deserve a lot of credit. They don't deserve to be maligned as "dumb jocks."

I wonder if anyone has pointed out that the graduation rate for the athletes is higher than the student body in general. And has been so for every year since 1980...that I know of. Every year. Kind of defuses the '' dumb jock theory.''

13 effectively closed. I was home sick this week, so there was no one who could answer questions. And there are questions and calls coming in all the time.

Loquitur: What do they say to your proposal to hire a full-time secretary?

Dzik: '· Sounds like a good idea to me. We think you need one."

Loquitur: And nothing happens?

Dzik: Well, I've been here nine years ...

Loquitur: How would you rate the athletic facilities here at Cabrini? Good, fair, poor ...

Dzik: Barely adequate! Barely adequate for a school our size. But we are going to have four tennis courts in the spring so maybe that will eliminate barely. Then we'll just be adequate.

FRUSTRATIONS

Loquitur: What are some of your frustrations?

Dzik: Well, it'sverydifficultto deal with a staff that is composed entirely of part-timers. There are a lot of good people here that have been here over the years that coach and have given very willingly of THEDUMBJOCKTHEORY their time and, you know, I don't think the school appreciates the Loquitur:What do you think of fact. ..certainly (lite staff memthe stereotypes that people place bers) aren't compensated for the upon athletes? amount of time they put in. And Dzik: Some of our own athletes having to try and coordinate all self-perpetuate that with inane part-timers ...it would be nice if I asinine comments when they are could bring my athletic staff in here interviewed by the Loquitur. In- once a week and sit down with stead of taking it as an opportunity them and discuss the problems to make a position statement for of Cabrini athletics ...but that's.not athletics, by making a sensible, the way it works. Another frustraintelligent comment they use it to tion is that I don't have a full time help support the "dumb jock clerical person or secretary. When theory." Well, Iresentthe "dumb I'm not in this office, this office is

GOALS Loquitur: What are your longrange goals for the men's basketball team and the athletic department in general?

Dzik: Our goal next year for the team is to go undefeated. You know, a lot of coaches would be happy with having a shot at winning their conference championship, but we're not. One of my personal goals is to see a new recreational complex go up ...with a swimming pool and a real gym and a real weight room and real athletic facilities, so that we could really say that we have an athletic department. We, a lot of times, masquerade as an athletic department, and I think that's something the school has to recognize as a necessity if the school wants to capitalize on the success of some of its teams.

Tips for unraveling the mystery of golf

by Stephanie Hornyak

Golf. Not only a sport, but a word which is foreign to many people.

When you think of golfers, you picture the men and women in white shoes with very tanned faces somewhere on a sunny golf course in Florida, or California.

For those of you who are puzzled by golf and the various golf terms, here is a short guide of golf terms to aid you.

(Since the rules of golf took up 50 pages in one book, and there were what seemed like hundreds of books in the library, this is a very condensed version.)

AWAY: This isaterrngivento the player when his ball, being on or near the putting surface, is fur-

ther away from the hole than the ball of his opponent. Golfers can be seen pulling out their hair when this occurs.

BIRDIE: A score one under par for the hole.

PAR: How many strokes it should take a first rate player to get the ball 'in a specific hole.

Different holes, being different yard lengths away, have different pars. Therefore, you will see the golfer smile when he gets a birdie.

DIVOT: Piece of the turf ripped up by the club.

FLUFF: Any really bad shot.

GOLF BALL SALES: In the United States, approximately 120,000,000 new golf balls are sold each year.

GREEN: The area which is pre-

pared for the actual putting.

PUTTING: A delicate stroke used to put the ball in the hole.

LIE: The situation of the ball after a stroke has been played.

LIP or RIM: Extreme edge of the hole. Balls which do not go in are said to "lip the hole."

JACK NICKLAUS: Along with Arnold Palmer and Gary Player, one of the "Big Three" of golf.

Nicklaus also has a video, •'Golf My Way'' to aid beginner golf students.

RUT IRON: Club with a small rounded head; used for getting out of difficult places.

SWING: Sweep of the golf club. Golfers are said to have either a good or bad swing. (Naturally) TEE: Plastic or wooden peg

used to raise the ball off the ground.

Bringing golf closer to home, John Dzik, athletic director feels that with the returning individuals from last year's men's golf team, being lead by their captain, Brian Kilroy,senior, they have a legitimate chance to challenge for the championship.

Although their schedule is not definite, the golf team will be playing a total of 12 to 14 matches, against other schools in Eastern States Athletic Conference(ESAC), hopefully at the General Washington Golf Club, in Audubon, where they played last year.

Cabrini's men's golf team finished third last year in ESAC. Pat Zipfel, senior and a member

of the golf team, said, ' 'I think we're going to have a really good year. Believe it or not. We have five returnees from last year and a strong captain, Brian Kilroy."

Zipfel also said that Cabrini has had an organized team for two years and added, •'A large percentage of the students don't know that we do have a golf team. It's important for Cabrini to understand that we do have a team and to receive their support.''

As for the mystery behind golf and to why people don't understand the game, Zipfel said, •'Golf is an expensive sport. I compare it to skiing, You either golf or you don't.''

Cavaliers take revenge On E;aglesin three games

by Felicia Falcone

The Cabrini men's volleyball (earn defeated Eastern College on Sun., March 12th, at home. The match was played with a bestout-of-five format, with Cabrini winning three games: 15-5, 15-12 and 15-7.

Junior Jan Torres and Sophomore Tim Janusz played exceptionally well in each of the games.

Torres brought excellent serving to each game and brought the team back from a three-point deficit to win game two. Janusz, the "left-handed powerhouse," had excellent strategies of play to win points throughout the match.

The team worked well together and made virtually no mistakes. The team was

positive about their win against Eastern and looks toward a challenging and winning season.

The key to the win against Eastern was the team chemistry and work.

Senior Greg Beck said that there was a certain revenge factor throughout the game. ''Eastern had beaten us earlier in the year during a scrimmage. We came out and went right at them from the start.''

Beck also felt that the team played well together, as a whole. "The team chemistry was there. We are starting to blend more and more together as a team."

Senior captain Mike Charvala, said, "We finally cametogethertonight. We had solid, all-around play from everybody. We passed effectively and our plays were exe-

cuted well.''

Tuesday, Cabrini played Villanova.

Most of the players were hopeful about their match with Villanova, and after Sundaynight'sgame,shared some opinions about their upcoming challenge.

Freshman Marty Howley, said, "It's going to be a tough match. After tonight's game, it should be great. If the intensity is there, we'll win."

Charvala agreed with Howley. "Villa-

even better than we did tonight against Eastern. 'Nova is a solid ball club as far as execution goes, but tonight we played our best so far."

Junior Colin Coakley, said, "It should be tough, but we have nothing to worry about if we play like we played tonight against Eastern.

Beck was the most positive about the match against Eastern. "I feel sorry for

nova is one of the toughest teams in the AMIV (Atlantic Men's Intercollegiate Volleyball) league. Villanova, as a team, has played a lot longer than we have. In order to beatthem, we have to play as well or

Villanova! Ifweplayourgameanddon't get psyched out early on, we'll have an excellent shot. The more the young guys learn, the better we will play. This will be a great asset for the team in the long run."

Although March Madness is just beginning with the start of the Big East tournaments, Cabrini's basketball season has come to a close.

The women's team had a very good season with plenty of shining stars.

The season was filled with intense games, surprise wins and some, but very few, losses.

The Lady Cavs finished up the season with an impressive 20 - 8 record. It was the first time in Cabrini's history that the women's team had won 20 games in a season. The wins included a crushing game against Eastern and an emotional contest against Allentown.

Cabrini's Lady Cavs finished in second plru;;,_e in the North Division to Allentown College and third place in the Eastern State Athletic Conference(ESAC) championship tournament to Allentown and Frostburg while defeating Salisbury State.

Heading the Lady Cavs to their outstanding finish was first and foremost sophomore BarbaraMilligan. Milligan finished the season with some incredible accomplishments of her own.

In 28 games, she alone had collected 398 points and finished first in scoring among her teammates. Of those 398 points, Milligan made 62 three-point shots out of l 40 attempts gathering almost one-third of her overall total.

Christy Courseault.junior, finished second with_ 196 points and Jodi Snow junior, finished a very close third with l 90 points.

Milligan also finished first in rebounding with 185 again with Courseault right behind her with 143 and Nicole Helverson,sophomore, bringing up the back with 106.

The men's team was just as successful, even though it did not win 20 games. The Cavs ended their season with an overall record of 16-11. The Cavaliers grasped the first place title in the ESAC North Division with a record of7 - 4. They took fourth place in the ESAC Championship tournament to Shenandoah, Frostburg and Allentown Colleges, respectively.

The men's team was also speckled with great wins and disappointing losses. Some of their wins included one against Lincoln and a tight game against Spring Garden to clinch the ESAC North first place title.

In 25 games, Brian "Breeze" Butler.senior, was the high scorer for the men's team. He had a total of 444 points and second place scorer for the Cabrini Cavaliers was Marko Gittens with 407 points.

Rebounding wasjust the same. Butler also led the team in rebounds with a total of 234 rebounds. Gittens follwed closely with a rebouding total of 209.

Each team had an excellent season.

They have done Cabrini proud and are looking forward to an even more exciting season next year. That's a wrap!

Dzik complains:

'A lot of people here take us for granted'

by Bob Bonner <Body text> The Loquitur talked with Athletic Director and men's basketball coach John Dzik during the last week in February. In a candid interview, Dzik reflected about his team, athletes, Cabrini students and the tremendous successes as well as the bitter disappointments he has faced over the past nine years here at Cabrini.

Loquitur: How did you get interested in basketball? Did your dad play? , Dzik: No, my dad worked two jobs for 20 years so I could go to · college. I just used to play when I was little with the guys in the neighborhood.

Loquitur:Where did you go to college?

Dzik: WestChester.

Loquitur:Why dido 't you play basketball in college?

Dzik: l tried out my freshman year. I was one of about I 20 freshman trying out. They said, "Anybody under six feet stand over here." Then the coach came over and said, "Are any of you guys lightening quick?" I didn't consider myself lightening quick.

He said, "Well, if you're not, you won't make this team.'· So that was that.

Loquitur: At that time. who did you admire or look up to in the N.B.A.?

Dzik: Wilt Chamberlin. Yeah, he's7-foot-2soyoucandoa lotof looking up to him. No, I always liked Wilt. He was kind of my idol . because he was from Philadelphia, and I always thought he was the greatest player that ever lived. I still do.

Loquitur:So, after college; did -you start coaching?

Dzik.: After college, I went to teach school. I graduated from West Chester with a degree in elementary education, with a concentration in health and physi• cal education. I taught at Hillcrest elementary school in Upper Darby for seven years. While I was teaching there I coached at Upper Darby for two years. I was an assistant high school coach.

Strong defensive skills leave team optimistic

by Susan Holefelder A sure sign of spring being right around the comer is the start of the softball season.

The new season begins with the first game on March 28, at home against Neumann College.

For the players, however, the season began about a month ago with the beginning of practice. They practice every day from 4 to 6 p.m.

Unfortunately, as a result of the weather, the team has had to practice indoors which has inhibited their hitting potential.

"You can't hit in a gym," Sam Vasiliades, coach, said. This is the first year Vasiliades has coached the women's softball team here at Cabrini. However, it is not the first time he has coached.

VasiJiades played in the Philadelphia

major leagues and has also coached the men's fast pitch team of the Suburban softball league of Delaware County. lb addition, he was an umpire for over IO years for the men's fast pitch team.

"Women are a lot easier to coach than men,'' Vasiliades said. He feels a good plus for the team is that they are a good group, and they get along well together.

Last Sunday the team played together for the first time in a "Round Robin" tournament at the University of Pennsylvania.

They lost all three games, but according to Vasiliades, ''-overall, the team had outstanding pitching, but a little spotty.''

This year the team consists of mostly freshmen and sophomores with only two seniors and one junior. This will allow the team to become better and better through

the years. Vasiliades said, "I don't care if they are freshmen or seniors as long as they have the talent.''

"This will help in the long run because Sam.will have them for four years and they will getto know and experience each player on the team," Terri Pancio, senior, said.

Michele Ballinghoff, sophomore, said, ''There are a lot of quality freshmen who have experience."

According to Vasiliades, the team's strengths are that they have a really good defensive team and by the time the season starts, hitting will be a strength. If their pitching comes through.they should have a very good season.

Overall, Vasiliades said he is very optimistic about the team.

Pancio agrees that the team is a strong

team with a lot of good players. "We have a good chance to make it to the playoffs," she said.

Ballinghoff said, "The team has a lot of talent _and this year the t,eam is more dedicated and the ·coach cares a Jot.'' Christi Vilotti, sophomore, said, ·"We should have a pretty good season. It is hard to say, but we have a good team and should go somewhere this year."

What should the fans look for this season? ·'An excellent fielding team, if the pitching comes through we will shake a lot of people up," Vasiliades said.

•'A very good and competitive season, we need all the support we can get,'' Ballinghoff said.

Vilotti added, .. Some good defensive playing.''
