Radiation could possibly harm future generation by Chris Pesotski You ate oat bran for breakfast. Your only hobby is exercising at the health club. Alcohol and cigarettes are taboo. You live as stressfree a life as is possible for a college student. Fields emanating from that electric blanket you 're lying under may be rendering you unable to have children. What children you do have may be condemned to congenital birth defects by waves from those hundreds of thousands of radio towers and satellite dishes surrounding your home. Your computer monitor may be blinding you. Each of these terrifying possibilities has been supported by the findings of researchers. Yet the public remains virtually unaware of the hazards lurking in American households. Vernon, N .J. residents are surrounded by the largest collection of communications technology on earth. Dishes communicating with military, industrial, and foreign satellites litter the valley where thousands live. A wave of
concern swelled when an unusual numberofDown's syndrome cases was reported over the last several years. Although no American researcher has linked Down's syndrome in humans to wave energy, several studies have shown a correlation between birth defects in developing animals and the waves. Nevertheless, localized worry has caused the Environmental Protection Agency to publish a list of 231 areas where people could become exposed to levels of wave energy recognized as unsafe. But what level is unsafe is an issue still under debate. The EPA, American National Standards Institute, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health all differ on what level of exposure should be considered "safe." The most recent concern has centered on the effects of 60-Hz fields. These fields are among the most common encountered by the public. Use of household electrical appliances generates these fields, as do high voltage electrical transmission lines. Most of the expo-
sures are short term, lasting as long as the appliance is in use. Field energies lower as one moves away from power lines. Electric blankets offer neither such safeguard, as they operate for long periods of time in close proximity to the body. Scientists and researchers have developed theories on the effects of 60-Hz fields ranging from their purported mood-altering properties to effects on cell structure and possible cancer-causing side effects. Other scientists look at the same evidence and assert that variables other than the waves could be to blame for the apparent correlations. Carnegie-Mellon University's Department of Engineering and Public Policy published a finding somewhere between the two extremes. "The emerging evidence (on 60-Hz fields) no longer allows one to categorically assertthat there are no risks. But it does not provide a basis for asserting that there is a significant risk." Studies conducted on the effects of microwave energy over the last 40 years have resulted in varying degrees of concern. Vir-
Proposals made to, , help campus life by Deborah Ryder The Campus Life Commission, formed last semester to examine problems effecting the quality of life at the college, have begun to organize their findings into recommendations. The -commission members, selected by Sister Eileen Currie, MSC, president, equally represent the student body, the faculty, and the staff. Initially, they determined that the problems that most needed addressing were, "apathy, destructive behavior both personal and communal, denial and lack of awareness of racism, ethno-violence and poor interpersonal relations." Dr.Jerome Zurek, English department head, described , in a letter to the commission, his concerns for the college. "I believe that part of Cabrini's problem is that Mother Cabrini's special vision is not spoken of or sufficiently alive in its members. He continues by saying that "most students are untouched by her message and can easily pass four years at the college without engaging in any activity that would link them with this unique vision." Zurek submitted several suggestions to the commission, including the following: that "the college commission a pamphlet to explain to students the tradition of Mother Cabrini" and to "emphasize how students could get involved in social services.'', that Co-op positions be funded by the college for junior and seniors so that they could accept positions that wouldn't ordinarily be high paying and that a College Convocation be held annually to "celebrate the Cabrini vision and its implications to us." Zurek also suggested ''that the college as an institution commit itself to working for social justice.'' As an example , he suggested that the college, as a whole, could assist a social service agency with a particular project.

tually all scientists agree that exposure to moderately high levels of microwave energy results in a wide range of physical effects, including tissue damage, heat stress, and an increased risk of cancer in the exposed areas of the body. Effects of exposure to lower levels of microwave radiation is less well understood. Some studies have indicated that this kind of wave energy may harm some portions of the human immune system. A study of laboratory rats exposed to constant low-level microwave energy showed few health differences between healthy rats and the exposed group. With one startling exception. Rats in the exposed group developed threeand-a-half times as many cancer tumors as did rats in the control group. Concern over the effects of video display terminals (VDTs}, began when they were introduced to the workplace in the 1970's. Newspaper workers and telephone operators were among the occupations which reported wide-spread problems associated withe the use of the
terminals for long periods of time. Eye strain and headaches commonly affect VDT users, and are associated with the intensity of the images on the screen. However other more serious side effects are reported. These include cataracts, miscarriages and birth defects. Some scientists relate the more serious side effects to the emission of powerful electro-magnetic fields from the monitors. Workers are exposed to these fields during the entire workday for years, putting them at high risk for many problems, studies report. While no study has unequivocally related disastrous health problems with the use of VDTs, there are clearly signs for worry. Doctors have gone so far as to recommend that pregnant women avoid prolonged exposure to the VDTs. Many problems exist because of the world of technology we live in. Studies are continuing to determine with more certainty the dangers which exist in our homes and neighborhoods.
Crime statistics for 1989 by SharleneSephton The number of criminal offenses occurring on campus during the spring and fall semesters of 1989 is 58. according to a total compiled by the department of security in compliance with theCollege and University SecurityInfonnation Act (Act 73) of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A 6.5 percent crimerate was recorded as of Dec. 12, 1989. This figure was calculated by dividing the number of students in the student body by the number of crimes. A breakdown of the offenses recorded is as follows: four assaults, four burglaries, 15 larceny-thefts, one motor vehicle theft, one arson, 16incidentsof vandalism, one drug abuse violation, 14 incidents of disorderly conduct, and two miscellaneous offenses (except traffic). Only the auto theft and drug violation for the possession of marijuana have been cleared by
arrest or exceptional means. Daniel Neyer, director of security, suggested the statistics are directly related to the college's si-ze and location. Cabrini is a smaller college in a subwban area, therefore its rates are comparable to the surrounding communities' low crime rates. Neyer cites that more thefts occur on campus than in relation to the area. No rapes have been reported on campus. The crime rate for 1988 was 6.7 percent. 'There were more assaults, larceny-thefts, and miscellaneous offenses during 1988. The remainder of offenses were either equal in number or zero when compared to 1989. The month of April contnl>uted twice as many offenses as the nearest months during 1989. According to Neyer there is an ongoing debate on how to compute the crime rate to show a more realistic percentage of crime. "We can only put down what is reported to us,'' Neyer said. • 'The rate is a fluid number."
Another area college, Ursinus College, doesn't compute a crime rate for its 1,200 students. According to their
HeadofSecurity,BrianMcCol~ tough, for the last three years Ursinus has been in accordance with the police•s national aver-
age. Mostnoticeable differences to Cabrini's incidences include
39 thefts, 54 vandalism, 54 liquor and 52 disorderly conduct. Although most offenses have increased in number at Ursinus, the number of incidences that have been cleared have also increased. Also known as the Clery Bill, Act 73 requires crime statistics and security measures of colleges and universities be made available to all prospective students and their parents. A yearly report totals the num• ber and type of offenses and is sent to the Pennsylvania State Police. Pennsylvania is the first state to enact such a bill. It has been in effect since November of 1988.

When I was in second grade, my grandmother had a heart attack. I didn't even realize how dangerous it was or that I could have lost her. Later on in grade school, she had openheart surgery, which led to many complications. She almost died. Although I cried when all the doctors came running.

Sometimes I wonder, if they had known it would be a lifetime job, would they do it again? After all, they certainly weren't planning on me.

Battle of the Budget Begins The annual warofhow to spend the nation's money began this week when President Bush delivered his budget proposal to Congress. With the apparent decrease in a Soviet mili.tary threat, the defense budget for 1991 will be two percent lower than 1990 (after being adjusted for inflation). That is not good enough say many in Congress who are looking for money to decrease the national debt or fund social programs. The Bush administration and the Pentagon have been cautious in their position on dramatic defense spending cuts - citing responsibilities to NATO and maintaining a "global balance." While many Congressmen may believe this would be a good time to trim the defense budget, others will be _fighting to keep the favorable economic influence of defense spending in their districts. The Philadelphia Navy yard is on a preliminary budget "hit list" of navy bases to be closed. A Head Start For 'Head Start' The government's most effective education program. Head Start. should get a 36 percent increase in funding for next year. President Bush's proposed budget calls for S500 million increase in the program. enough for 180.000 4-year-olds to enroll. The popular program has few political enemies, but critics of Bush say more is still needed. If Congress passes the proposed increases, 30 percent of eligible preschool children will still be left out. A Reagan Policy Reversal In a deviation from the policy of the Reagan administration, the Energy Department will put more money into energy conservation research and into making federal government buildings more efficient. Under orders from President Bush, the department will spend $35 million this year to install energy efficient light fixtures in government buildings. The new policy will also promote hydro-electric power,' 'trash-to-steam'' power plants and methanol production. Communism Continues Its Decline In East Germany and Poland, communists that have survived the recent upheavals are gradually severing their ideological and political ties with their political party. Premier Hans Mudrow has asked the East German opposition parties to join histemporary government in an effort to keep the country stable until free elections can take place on March 18, a date which has moved up two months due to continued unrest. The remnants of the Polish Communistparty are burning their membership cards and beginning a new political party to be a left-wing Social Democratic one.

Movie review:
Audience probes for 'Internal Affairs' by Frank Emmerich "What's your sign?" ''Sagittarius.'' "What's your husband's?" ''Cancer.'' The movie theater fills slowly in pairs. A 25-year-old yuppie cautiously makes his move. He succeeds in getting his arm around his date before the movie even begins. Another man uses the "what's your sign" line to pick up a married woman. As the curtain rips open, giggles and coughs arise from the audience, and the screen reads, "Internal Affairs.'' The only internal affair I found interesting this night was the one occurring ·a few of rows in front of me. Richard Gere, Andy Garcia, and Laurie Metcalf star in this so-called cop thriller, "Internal Affair." I found the plot to be loaded with "cancerous" holes, the characters
unbelievable, the acting poor, the directing poorer, and the scenes TV "wanna be's." The movie's suspenseful plot collapses about three minutes into the production, ruining any hope of a suspenseful mystery. In the opening scene the audience is made aware that Dennis Peck, Richard Gere, is a bad cop with selfish motives who "protects and serves" by his own rules. The plot revolves around Peck, a corrupt police officer with four wives and nine children. He sells out his friends, including fellow officers, in order to accumulate a large sum of illegal money. Andy Garcia, Raymond, is the good cop who has become obsessed in nailing an old comrade, Peck. His obsession with the case causes Raymond to have marital problems and become an alcoholic. If you think that you have seen this movie before, you probably
have. Perhaps the plotline even follows a rerun of "Hunter," because the quality of this movie ranks within the realm of TV cop shows. The acting is not top quality. Richard Gere failed to prove himself to the audience as a crazed cop gone bad. Gere gets beat up and then shot up and looks like he just jumped out of the shower. Bruce Willis in "Diehard" played a more believable superman than Gere. Andy Garcia looks too much like Maxwell Smart to have him appear to be a cop who has become obsessed with his case. Garcia never establishes himself as a cop who is slowly losing the control, which he as an internal affairs cop must regulate. Therefore, Garcia never creates a needed intimacy with the audience. The directing in the movie does not help the weak plot structure
and poor acting. There is onJy one scene which builds some kind of dramatic impact. In this scene Raymond watches with bloodshot eyes through door blinds as Peck points a revolver at Raymond's wife Kathleen. What should have been a suspenseful climax to the
Andy Garcia looks too much like Maxwell Smart to have him appear to be a cop who has become obsessed with his case. story, quickly dissolved into a mediocre and foreseen conclusion. The last scene of "Internal Affair'' not only displays poor camera work, but it leaves the audience unsatisfied with the
ending. I won't ruin the suspense of the movie by telling you how it ends, but I will tell you that you have seen it many times before. Like all thrillers there is the traditional abandon warehouse shoot-out with an apparently nearsighted bad guy wielding a semiautomatic against the good cop carrying his departmentissued revolver. As a follow-up to this below average shot-out, there an even poorer car chase involving a yellow Camaro and twenty S.W.A.T. team members with guns blazing. Of course the car crashes into a large glass window after the driver's head is blown away. In this amateur film critic's opinion your time is better spent, and your money better invested if you stay home on Saturday night and watch a rerun of Hunter. The only thing you will be missing are a few obscenities and one sex scene.
Cars: mechanics of the "express" way by Carrie Corr Sophistication, sportiness and success seem to be the most sought after attributes of car owners and future drivers. Cars, without a doubt are a necessity in today's fast paced society. However, driving has become much more than just transportation. The car you dri v.erepresents you. While some people are relieved just to have four wheels that rotate when the accelerator is pushed, others are not content until they have it all. A fully loaded BMW or Porsche may seem like a dream to most of us, to some it is just another material possession. _. "A really rich person drives a BMW," I 0-year-old Kim Castorana said. '' A person who drives a Porsche is up-to-date and in fashion.'' Without a question, having money goes along with having a car like a Mercedes or BMW. Even so, people have different ideas about certain cars. "I think a Porsche represents a very young, newly successful executive who wants the world to know he has made it," Marie Karney, junior said. "It's a totally incredible sportscar."
While Porshe 's represent "young money," a Mercedes Benz has a more sophisticated aura about it. "A Mercedes is a stylish. classic." Karney said. "I picture an older successful person who has decided to make an investment in his dreamcar.'' Although a lot of people have big ideas aboutalotofthemore expensive cars on the road, the review is not always positive. ''I think people who drive Jaguars are show offs," Castorana said. "Jaguars are junky cars,'' Karney said. ''They may look nice, but they are always in need of repair. All of this talk about expensive cars and how they token a person as successful or not, makes you wonder how your Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Hyundai could ever keep you satisfied. "I drive a Toyota Camry," Karney said. "I think it fits my personality. It's practical, sophisticated and a smart buy. I feel as though I got the most for my money, and that makes me happy." "I drive a 1983 Dodge Colt," sophomore, Bill Schellinger said. "It suits me fine. It's simple, not too flashy and it- gets me where I need to go.'' ''When I grow up I want to drive a

convertible, maybe a Volkswagan," 10year-old Castorana said. "I probably won't be able to afford it though until I'm at least 20. ''Right now I drive a Honda Accord hatchback and I think it fits my personality for now," senior, Tracey Keys said. ''I'm a family oriented person and I like a car that lasts. For some, the phrase dream car is just that, a phrase. Forothers it is just a few years down the road. "I would love a MercedesBenz," Karney said. "They are beautiful, but I doubt I'll ever get one, I would be apprehensive about spending that much money on a car." "I want a black or silver BMW," Keys said. "My boyfriend owns one and it's terrific. I know I'll get one some day. "I am an education major, so I can't see owning anything too extravagant," Schellinger said. "I would like to own a Pontiac Grand Prix. It's sporty, not too flashy, more roomy than my Colt, a reasonable price, dependable and it will get me where I need to go just as good as a luxury car would.'' Heads tum when a the car is hot. But when the car is hot pink, they will really take a
second look. "I saw a girl driving a hot pink Volkswagen," Castorana said. "She was not only driving, she was singing, dancing, putting on make-up and fixing her hair all at a red light." Not all first experiences driving a car are pleasant ones. '' In high school my father let me take his car," Karney said. • 'I thought I was cool until I accidentally put the car in reverse and slammed into a parking light. That's not all, it fell on the car. I was so embarrassed.'' "I was heading downtown to see the fireworks," Keys said. When all of the sudden traffic stopped to a screeching halt, and I didn't. It was like a domino effect, it was a disaster." Disaster seems to go along with driving for a lot of people. Some people are just not meant to be on the road, but who are they? "Truck drivers are the worst drivers on the road," Schellinger said. "All they care about is themselves. If they are in a rush, they'll veer wherever they want to go.'' "The people who can't see over the dashboard are the ones who should not be on the road," Karney said. "They can barely see where they're going let alone people in back of them.'' Women tend to get the criticism more than the men sometimes when it comes to driving ability. In this case it sounds a little different. "High school seniors, especially males run close to the truckdrivers," Schellinger said. ''They cruise a lot more than girls, drink and party on the weekends. Th~y think they are invincible.'' It.is easy to criticize others for their driving. It is not, however, as easy to take what others think about our driving. 'Tm a great driver,"' Keys said "I've never had a ticket and I drive so slow sometimes my nickname is Grandma Moses.'' ''On a ·scale of one to I0, I place myself as a seven," Karney said. I have been in a few accidents so I am very cautious on the road.'' "I think I am· a very safe driver," Schellinger said. ''I drive within the speed limit, wear my seatbelt and I always signal others when I am turning or switching lanes.'' Bill Schellinger, sophomore, shows-off his car. (photo by Mark Gudas)

Winter thaw encourages melting of pounds, inches By Mark Gudas
"I am trying to cut down on late night snacks," Patty Ceraso, sophomore, said. •'I am still eating normal food Slightly tanned bodies, toned-up calves, bulging biceps during the day, just less.'' and titillating triceps.

Facing fearful facts about phobi8S Viewbook wins silver award for· marketing
Kristen Mainero
Are you afraid of the dark? Do bugs give you the cr~eps? Do you break out in a cold sweat at the thought of going on a roller coaster? It is possible that you have a phobia. Phobias are as diverse as the people who have them. The most common phobia that people seek professional help for is agoraphobia. The fear of being alone, or the fear of being in public places where escape or help is inaccessible. This phobia is most commonly diagnosed among women. Other common phobias are claustraphobia, fear of closed spaces; acrophobia, fear of being in high places; and entomophobia, the fear of insects. According to Dr. Katherine Sutton-Smith Preston, director of the counsling cneter. These phobias can be cured. Some people believe in hypnotists, others believe in professionals while still others are convinced that you just have to force yourself to overcome the fear alone. Donna Kindig, an artist, used this type of therapy when she overcame her childhood fear of heights this summer by forcing herself to paint on a sloping third story roof. Her advice to people who wanttoovercome phobias was, "It's like the Nike commercial, 'Just do it."' That advice is not easily taken by Heather Corlett, junior. Her entomophobia, specifically of centipedes, has actually resulted in hyperventilation and a nightly routine of shaking out her covers and clothes for the nasty little fiends. Corlett believed her fear began back in elementary school when the boy who sat next to her kept centipedes in an old milk container in his desk. Most phobias are traced back to childhood. Some are even traced back further.
Preston said that some parapsychologists believe that irrational fears without evidence of cause in a person's life may be the result of past life mishap. Tara Tarutis, sophomore, believes that her fear of bridges comes from a former life. Tarutis' conviction of this belief is strengthened by a reoccuring dream where the bridge collapses as she is going over it. She doesn't think, however, that her problem is serious enough to seek "professional" help. Preston gives some advice to combat Tarutis' problem. She suggests that Tarutis goes to a bridge with a trusted friend and
"Your hands may sweat, you may get heart palpitations, feel faint. All these are very real physical reactions, and you just cannot write them off as being 'all in the mind."' - Dr. Katherine Preston stands at the edge to acceptthat she's on the edge of the bridge. While her friend comforts her. Every day advance a little fartheron the bridge until she ·s finally crossed it. Preston does not believe that phobias are "all in the mind." "It may start in the mind but since the mind is such a powerful instrument, the thought of confronting the fear easily starts up internal conflict," she said. "Your hands may sweat, you may get heart palpitations, feel faint. All these are very real physical reactions, and you just
cannot write them off as being -all in the mind.''' Phobias are often acquired in childhood but can be gained at any point in life. "Basically," Preston explained, "phobias are the accidental pairing of a given circumstance with a negative emotional state, which in turn cause an emotional association with that circumstance." There is no certain type or group of people that have phobias, nor do most people have a phobia. In a small town, however, five percent of the population have agoraohobia. Phobias are quite amenable to psychothearputic intervention and are easy to combat through a process caiJed behavioral desensition, or systematic desensitation. The person really must want to rid himself of the phobia for any types of therapy to work. The key to having a phobia is a compelling desire to avoid the situation. The person with the phobia often realizes that the fear is irrational but can't overcome the feeling. This is the case with Elyse Lipenta, sophomore, and her fear of thunderstorms. Lipenta recently had an axienty attack here school when Hurricane Hugo threatened. Lipenta said ·'At home I would have just jumped in bed with my parents but I guess I '11just to hide out here underneath my covers. I know it's a stupid fear to have, but I can't help it." Phobias are triggered by the sudden memory of a badexperience that may have been forgotten. When found in this position some people have been know to curl up in the fetal position and try to ignore the situation. A simple relaxation process can often be helpful in these cases.
Cabrini's 1989 viewbook, a 32-page brochure designed to recruit 16- and 17year-old students, won a silver award in the consumer catalog category ofTarget Marketing magazine's "1990 Best of Direct Marketing'' contest. Target Marketing is a trade magazine published in Philadelphiafordirectmarketing professionals. "Cabrini's viewbook was among thousands of entries across the United States including direct marketing packages from large corporations like Nikon, Sheraton and New England Telephone,'' said the college's publications manager Dana Earley, who worked with Wolfinger Cerminaro Communications to create the piece. The viewbook was produced on a Carat machine at Apollo Graphics in Southhampton, Pa. This electronic retouching system produces artwork not otherwise achievable through conventional means. According to Roy Innella from Apollo Graphics, "It allows the artistto be more creative and still maintain a high level of quality."

Hype ...hype ... hype._.. : just play the football game By Chris Pesotski Did any of you watch Superhype XXIV?? You know, that thing that kept interrupting Bud Bowl II. The perennial festival of male bonding that all of America celebrates every January. Some women watch too. I imagine a few of them even know what's going on. That's a great deal more than you can say for most of the men watching, who are usually feeling pretty mellow long before some hasbeen sings the national anthem. Anyway, back to this year's game. The media seemed much more caught up with being in the Big Easy than with the Big Game. I can understand that. The only thing big about this game was the margin of victory. The NFL takes a week off between the conference championships and the Superbowl. The reason, they say, is so that all of the injured players get a chance to heal and play in the big game. That way these guys will have a chance to injure some other guys. They'll also have better stories to tell at the comer bar when they're 55. The real reason they take this week off is a little more complicated. A long time ago, a whole bunch of sports writer types got together with the NFL and asked for the extra week off so they could spend some extra time on expense account in a city very far away from home, where there is no sports news in January except the NBA and NHL pre-playoff seasons. In exchange, the writers would make the Superbowl into the biggest thing since Mount Everest or Mike Tyson.
The NFL, seeing a great chance to further addict more people to football, bought the plan hook, line and sinker. Now we' re stuck with guys like Ukee Washington reporting what the '49ers backup quarterback eats for breakfast. The reporters look like kids in a candy store when they do their reports. That's if they don't look haggard and hung-over from a night of hard partying on Bourbon St. Wasn't it a bit boring having these guys analyze every part of the game and everything to do with the the teams, and the players and even the players' dogs to death?
things which really didn't have anything to do with the game. You can't make a blowout a good game, but you can make anyone seem interesting for a couple of minute~. Don't get me wrong. I like the Superbowl. But someone should have done something this year. Not call it off or anything like that. But at least spot Denver a few touchdowns and maybe Matt Millen or Tom Rathman. It wasn't a football game, it was more like throwing the Christians to the lions. Denver
The NFL takes a week off between the conference championships and the Superbowl. The reason, they say, is so that all of the injured players get a chance to heal and play in the big game. That way these guys will have a chance to injure some other guys. They'll also have better stories to tell at the corner bar when they're 55. Just play the game for pete's sake!! People were telling us about John Madden's style of color commentary. I watched the guy all season and I can barely put up with him for one game, let alone have someone carry on about how great he is. I'd had enough of Madden when he started circling players' wives on the telestrator. But face it, the game was pretty boring. And everyone knew it was going to be. So there really wasn't much to report on except
wasn't going to beat San Francisco unless God himself took over for Elway and Montana broke his leg. Even then I'm not so sure. Let me talk about the ...uh ... I guess I'll call it a game. Just for a minute. I'll admit it had some high points. It was close for about four minutes. You want to talk about records? There were a record number of them set last Sunday. One thing that kept it a bit interesting was watching who was sponsoring the kickoff or
1
the two-minute warning or whose blimp was flying over the Superdome. The array of corporate sponsors was dizzying. And it¡ s getting a little out of control. Pretty soon the officials are going to be wearing billboards and throwing yellow flags sponsored by McDonald's. The Joe Montana - Jerry Rice Aerial Circus was in fine form, with enough thrills and chills to keep you watching long after the game was decided. According to Madden, the 11 kisses Jim Burt got from his son on the sideline was yet another Superbowl record. I'll get sentimental here for a moment. I liked seeing the kids on the sideline. Some say it was rubbing it in Denver's face. I think it was giving the kids a chance to be a part of something they'll remember forever. I imagine they'll even get a chance to be there again, since it doesn't look like anyone's going to be able to prevent the '49ers from bringing home a third straight title next year. What can be done to stop the lop-sided games? I guess there really isn't much that can be done. Some teams are just destined to win big. There have always been dynasties in the NFL. It's just hard to remember one as completely dominating as the SanFrancisco '49ers of the 1980s. The Yankees of the '60s, the Steelers of the '70s, and the Lakers of the '80s will all go down in history as dynasties of sport. But none will ever be so All-American, and downhome as the champions of the Big Game, the Joe Montana-led Sanfrancisco '49ers.

Straightfrom Monaco'sMouth Lou Monaco Sports Editor Before Super Bowl XXIV was over before it started, I was talking with a few fri~nds about who they thought was the greatest quarterback of all time? WIP, AllSportsradio, 610 on your AM stereo, had a segment on Tom Brookshier's morning show on that same question a few weeks ago. I figured let me throw it out and see what a few friends of mine had to say. The answers were the usual: Staubach, Montana, Bradshaw, Namath, Tittle, Starr, Dawson, etc. I felt you couldn't actually pick one great quarterback. It was way too tough. The 50's had Unitas and Tittle. The 60's had Starr and Dawson. The ?O's had Bradshaw and Staubach. The 80's had Theismann and Montana. Of course, there were a lot more ''great'' quarterbacks, but this group was just a pass above the rest. Guess what? I've changed my opinion. It's easy to pick the greatest. It's ... Vince Ferragamo. Guess what? I'm kidding. After watching the greatest one-sided Super Bowl victory ever, there is no doubt in my mind now, that Joe Montana IS the greatest quarterback ever to step on grass, turf, sand, gravel, mud, asphalt, whatever. He is the BEST. Period. Here's a guy who threw his first pigskin pass on the grass plots of his family's farm in the backwoods of Western Pennsylvania, to the historic Golden Dome at Notre Dame (footnote: now I know why they have that painting of Touchdown Jesus), and finally to a remarkable performance in his best game, on his best team to date. . His greatest asset is his class. He goes out oii that field and does the job that he is paid to do. Montana's ability to come back, time after time again, and to lead his team, to win after win and to do it consistently is unheard of in today's age of over-paid, selfish, and over-rated athletes. When you watched this game on Sunday, you saw an unbelivable talent lead a bunch of incredible talents to their second Super Bowl championship in as many years. You not only saw greatness, you saw history.
The 49ers are so talented, so organized, so professional, so precise, so strong, so whatever, that it would not surprise me, if they were to 3-PEA T, or yes, 4PEA T. This team is that good. When you watch this man pass and this team play, you enjoy the game. You don't have to put up with the bull of Buddy, the cancelled flights of the Jets, the Giants who cry, the money hungry manners of America's worst team that would make John Wayne turn over in his grave, the growling cries of the Bears, and the list goes on and on. This team is a joy to watch and they leave you with this numb feeling of greatness that is so very rare in today's sportsworld. Many people are comparing this team to the SuperSteelersofthe ?O's. That is wrong! I will tell you this, if that game were to be played tomorrow, it would be the greatest game ever and the outcome will still be the same. In my opinion, the Niners would win by, at least, ten points or higher. They're people who would argue but, after what I saw Sunday, it wouldn't matter. It was just total domination, 55-10. Hats off tothe49ers. They deserve it and in the cruel exploitation of sports as a whole today, we should thank them for performing one of the greatest shows on earth.

Lady Cavs loseto Marywood,50-38 by Clyde LaForest Suffering from the absence of Barb Milligan and Julie Snow, the Lady Cavs lost to Marywood College 50-38 Saturday night. The Lady Cavs were not able to rally as a team, and it showed in its playing on both offense and defense. Lady Cavs Head Coach Dan Welde described his team's performance as "struggling basketball," but he is optimistic about the rest of the season. "Our guards are young but they 're trying hard," he said. "It doesn't look really good now, but it will be better 'in the long run." "ft was a hard-fought game," said Marywood Head Coach Jerry Dempsey. "Whenever we play Cabrini it is extremely emotional and physical--it's never easy. We have a good rivalry." "We're still not playing well--we're
...
still trying to adjust to being without Julie and Barb," said starting guard Kathy Murray. "We have a few new plays to compensate for them being out." Snow and Milligan are on the Lady Cavs' injured list. Milligan tore cartilage inherkneeduring an early January practice and will not play again this season. Snow injured her shoulder in a game in the Manhattenville Tournament almost two weeks ago. She may return to play before the end of the season, according to Murray. With the bleachers occupied by more Marywood fans than Cabrini fans, the Lady Cavs took the tip-off and scored within 12 seconds. They stayed ahead for only a few minutes, though, as Marywood quickly took the lead·and stayed there until the end of the first half. The teams left the court with a half-time score of 15-13. The second half was all Mary-
wood. The team exploded in scoring, with smoother and faster teamworlc than Cabrini. Marywood denied the Lady Cavs from scoring time and time again, and hit a few threepointers of its own. The Lady Cavs trailed the whole second half. Marywood scored at roughly twice the rate Cabrini did. On the offense, Marywood was aggressive and seemed spiteful. Marywood found a quite effective way to harass the Lady Cavs: double- and triple-teaming. The Lady Cavs often found themselves trapped as they brought the ball up, and Marywood occasionally stole it for an easy score. Cabrini had to keep the ball under careful control under its own board as well, since Marywood was pressing tight there, too. "Our competition," Welde said, "is Marywood. I think we can be second
place in the league, but we are not going to get there without playing better." "Even when we're up 12 or 14 points I'm not comfortable, Dempsey said, ''because Cabrini could still make a run. We've got to play 40 minutes of basketball.'' "We've got a chance to do really well," Murray said. "We've got lots of talent." The Lady Cavs' next game is at Spring Garden College on Feb. I. Game time is6 p.m.
CAVS!
