Alumnishare Blackhistorymonth key to future beginswith peace by Christina Roach College students are like fortune tellers--they try to predict the future. They study a major for four years and think they know what they 'II be doing for the rest of their lives. Although foutune tellers may predict the future, they cannot make it happen. The same goes for college students and their majors. Working in a field not directly related to the major pursued in college is not unusual in today's world. At last Sunday's alumni network career fair, current undergraduate students met with Cabrini alumni. It was a chance for the students to speak informally with the alumni about thier jobs. The importance of a well-rounded, quality education was stressed. Many of the alumni admitted that their current career is not exactly what they had, as undergraduates, envisioned it would be. Teaching was something Mary Kate Grimley had always wanted to do. In. her senior year at Cabrini, along with being a resident assistant and the president of the student governmentassociation, Grimley began teaching at an all-girls Catholic high school in Philadelphia. A t987 graduate, Grimley was an English and communications major with a certification in secondary education. It wasn't long before Grim le)' realized that if she wanted to make it on her own. she would not make enough money teaching. In her job search she came upon a job at Gwynedd-Mercy College as the Assistant Director of Allied Health Grants. ·' It fit with everythmg I wanted." Grimley said. "I loved teaching, but J knew I wanted something more 'professional,' while <;till remaming m contact with students.'' As the assistant grants director, Grimley's work day is never the same. She must write reports for the government about how successfully the money is being used and she works on the reapplication of the grants. In addition she plans workshops to recruit possible allied health students or enhance current
professional's skills. Grimley is also involved in the counseling of minority allied health students. ''There isn't a single thing I did or learned in college that I haven't used," Grimley said. Ron Katkocin graduated from Cabrini in three years. In what would have been his senior year, he stayed at Cabrini as the head resident of CounselHall and he worlced at Chilton Publishing company as an editor of a magazine. Katkocin, an English and communications major, wasn't sure what type of career he wanted to pursue. "I was always very practical," he said. I want to make a decent living and I knew that as a magazine or newspaper editor, I probably wouldn't." As early as high school, he had considered attending law school. After working in the communications industry for a few years, the 1980 graduate decided to attend law school, where he studied business and commercial litigation. "If a student wants to be a lawyer they should go to law school and become one,'' Katkocin said. "Don't even ·worry about what the economy is for lawyers in the next few years. If you want to do it only because you think its going to be a good area to get into, I would say, maybe give a second thought to that. Because, at least in the immediately foreseeable future. that might not be the boon that it was a couple of years ago. You might want to check something else out. But if you really want to be a lawyer, just do it, because the economy of It doesn't really make a difference.·' Dr. David Pilla D.P.M. doesn't feel he was pushed into the field just because his father was a doctor. He said he just admired what his father did and felt he wanted to work in medicine too. A podiatrist, Pilla is a 1984 graduate with a B.A. in mathematics. Pilla studied math because he knew that background would allow him to get into science. For Pilla, the field of podiatry, was the best of both worlds. Podiatrists can both admit and treat patients in the hospital, whereas

No vacancy at Cabrini As we approach the time where the entire resident student body addresses the housing situation through the lottery process, the concerns of overcrowding bring forth many questions, as well as answers. But the larger problem that must be solved is the resident enrollment dilemma. According to admissions, based on the theory that demographic trends state that there will be a plummeting number of high school graduates during the next two to three years, the need for a new dormitory may be unnecessary, rendering a school unable to fill its resident capacity.
Solving these problems would require a cap on the yearly increase of freshman enrollment and an actual adherence to the number of freshman enrollment by the community as a whole, not separate numbers by all parties involved. But what if demographic trends prove us wrong? Cabrini has violated these trends in the past two years, in which college enrollment has decreased at other institutions, yet has increased here. Solving these problems would require a cap on the yearly increase of freshman enrollment and an actual adherence to the number of freshman enrollment by the community as a whole, not separate numbers by all parties involved. For example, Resident Life, Admissions and Enrollment Management each has their own opinion, based on ~elf-interest, about how many freshmen should enter residence halls in September of 1990. Other institutions have limited their housing by placing a rest-· ~tion on students who live close enough to the institution to commute. In other words, persons living within a certain mile radius of the institution would have to commute as a requirement, and allow housing for students who are not from the immediate area. The other alternative, guaranteeing freshmen housing, would send current residents in a free-for-all for housing. This means that off-campus housing for upperclassmen would be sought, basically forcing them to give up their rooms on campus. This solution would not be feasible based on its unfairness to returning resident students. · .. With open communication between all offices determining freshmen residency, the best possible solution will arise because each office's concerns and needs will be met.

Valentine's Dav:
Straightfrom Monaco'sheart lou
monaco sports editor As the female editors of Loquitur, especially Perspectives, pointed at me with love beaming from their fingertips and smiles stretching from ear to ear at our last editor's meeting, I knew what I was in for. Yes, Lou Monaco, your sports editor, would be suckered into the dangerous job of trying to define the guy's point of view, of this red day that liquidates all of our bank accounts, Valentine's Day. What the hell am I doing? Well...here it goes, but first, I would like to warn my readers that this is only one man's opinion. Some might agree with it, some might not. Use your discretion. Valentine's Day to me, is like the New York Mets winning the World Series. It's very special to me. Known as "The day for lovers," Valentine's Day is set aside for people to express their love to everybody. This could come in the form of a girlfriend/boyfriend, mom/dad, brother/sister, friend/foe, editor/editor, RA/ resident (well now, let's not get too carried away). I think you get the picture.
Well, why does love have to last 24 hours? I guess we're supposed to hate everybody on Thursday. Is this the point? Did the fairy with the bow and arrow suddenly turn into a criminal on February 15th? Does the red suddenly turn to gray afterward?
those important in my life throughout the year, I guess I will probably bring out some of that Monaco magic on Wednesday, the 14th, and visit some of those shops that I spoke of earlier. Let me make one point clear, though. I don't need this day to express my love for my special person. I will though because I want to. People will probably say, especially the male folk out there, that I am the biggest mush in the world. Well I say to them, get a heart! Who the heck cares what you think? I am displaying the power of the pen, the power of the heart and the power that was earned by me,inmygradeformy independent study. As Bart Simpson would say, "Hey I'm going for it." You are probably sitting there, reading this, mouth wide open, a puzzled look on your face, asking yourself, "Is this kid for real?" "Where the heck does he get these ideas?" "What a kook!". Well, when you sit down and you think about it, this i~.~t love does to you. Get it? I love you all! I love life! I love you mom and dad! I Jove you, guess who?! I love you, Flopsy! Well, fellas, I tried. I have lost all sanity and reason. My solution to you: You figure this holiday out yourself. I gave it my best shot. In Your Eyes, I probably failed, fell short of the goal line, failed to shoot that three-pointer and whatever else. Hey guys, in closing, I would like to say, take that arrow out of your derriere. But you know what? You can't.
HAPPY VALENTINE'SDAY EVERYBODY!!!

Some people hate Valentine's Day. They think its silly, stupid, a waste of time, a waste of money, too mushy, a ploy by those card and flower shops to rape and then reap, us suspecting, naive, love-stricken softees. WELL I NEVER! Guess what I am? Let me put it this way. Coming from a romantic who is still trying to dig his way out from under last year's love bills, you could call me Cupid with a heart the size of Buddy Ryan's belly. Get the picture? So... the government decided to take just one stupid day, in the middle of February, to break up the monotony between Groundhog's Day and April Fool's Day. Big deal! Well, why does love have to last 24 hours? I guess we're supposed to hate everybody on Thursday. Is this the point? Did the fairy with the bow and arrow suddenly turn into a criminal on February 15th? Does the red suddenly tum to gray afterward? Gimme a chocolate! This incurable romantic says that love should last throughout the year and people shouldn't need a 24-hour routine day, turned into a holiday, to show someone that he or she loves him or her.

On·Black History Month:
Just how far have we come? by Bill Firman As we are entering African-American history month, I'd like to share my thoughts on a subject we often give little thought to-America. First Jet me .say that I recently saw the film "Glory," about the 54th regiment of Massachusetts. one of the first black regiments to fight in the Civil War. I was expecting to see a very good movie and I did, except that I saw far more than a movie, what I saw was America. Not the America of MTV, Pat Sajak or Dan Quayle (despite popular opinion, these two men are not the same persop), nor did I see simply the Amenca of the Nineteenth Century. I saw America as a whole 200 year history in one single two hour movie. I~ 1861. this Union of states split into two warring factions. As I watched this film dealing with one regiment fighting in that war I was struck with many thoughts. Primarily among them were two glaring questions. How could Americans kill each other in such bloody ferocity for four long years? What could possibly drive a wedge so deep into the heart of people to make them kill their fellow countrymen? . These things crossed my mind as bodies exploded and blood spilled on the screen. The conviction of both the Confederate and Union troops was obviously strong enough to bring the country to the brink of annihilation. But why? Why would men turn on each other so violently? The Civil War was, above all else, a battle for freedom. It was to be the final answer to the· 'slavery questions., with the winner taking all. Either blacks would live free in a restored union or the slave states of the Confederacy would become a separate entity. And yet, 125 years after its conclusion, I am left wondering if the question was ever answered. .. The 54th Regiment of Massachusetts fought in 1863 and over half of them were killed while trying to capture Confederateheld Fort Wagner. They died trying to preserve a Union in which they had little or no civil rights. What kind of courage does a man possess when he dies for a country which has shown him nothing but grief? All I can discern is
that he dies because he has hope. He has a hope that. in preserving the Union, there will come a day when he will have full freedom in a country that is truly his. The year of that battle, 1863, rang in my head. As I watched those battle scenes my mind soared ahead one hundred years to Little Rock, Birmingham, Selma, Mississippi and countless other "battlegrounds." I saw. one hundred years after these men died, a Southern church blown up and four black children killed in the face of bigotry. It suddenly hit me then and there that the principle factors that led to that bloody Civil War were alive and well in 1990. One hundred years after the battle at Fort Wagner. Dr. Martm Luther King Jr. would once again express the same hope that drove over 33.000 black men to their death during that bloody war. Dr. King would express the hope that there· would come a day when all men could join in s·aying, " ... Free at last, free at last! Thank Gocf almighty we are free at last!" Yet, Dr. King would be another to lose his life still holding on to that dream. The ''Union" has been restored for 125 years and yet the answers to the problems that led to that horrible conflict still elude us. Racial tensions are high throughout this Union and it struck me after much thought that I don't have an answer to that. Since I have never held myself accountable for such thoughts. I've never had to produce any answers. The movie made me take a cold. hard look at both myself and my country. Are we to never find a way to soothe the hatred that t.hrives in this Union today and which, in fact. .has always existed in this country? How is it possible that we can send a man to the moon and elect an intellectual inferior to Mickey Mouse as vice-presidentand yet we cannot seem to bring this country together for all people? Perhaps because this country has never been truly a Union for all. But because it has never been, does that mean that it never will? Does it mean we shouldn't try? I see no evidence to suggest that we are any closer to solving this scourge than we were in 1863 or 1963. What does that say about us? How does that make you feel? For myself I know it certainly makes me feel no glory.

Rosemont or realitv: I,
Rooms will still be scarce by Sharlene Sephton Expect housing shortages for incoming freshmen, tripling of rooms, and guaranteed housing for upperclassmen next year. These are consequences of administration's refusal of alternative housing on other campuses, and no new dorm on the horizon. Upon learning of Cabrini's overcrowded conditions, Rosemont College contacted Robert Bonfiglio, Dean of Students, last year with an offer. Rosemont would help to alleviate the problem by opening a dormitory hall on their campus to students of Cabrini.
director of housing discussed the broad implications of such a proposal. The dorm would have a capacity to house as many as 44women. Rosemont would benefit by filling spaces and shrinking a surplus of housing. The advantage of flexibility is key to Cabrini. "Last semester, we had no maneuverability to deal with students who might need housing due to uncomfortable home situations or roommate problems. There was no safety valve,'' Bonfiglio said. Gardner foresees possible increases in enrollment as another
would have to make up the difference," Gardner said. "A lot of money would be spent to make this happen." Gardner also expressed President Sister Eileen Currie's concern that a conflict .would be created as a result ofRosemont's housing rules which are much more restrictive than what Cabrini students are used to. During the Fall semester of 1989, visitation hours were only a privilege on the weekends. Male visitors were permitted in the donaj_tories from 3 p.m. until midnight on Fridays, noon until 1 a.m. on Saturdays, and noon until 11
Many schools are afraid that a demographic trend based on a • plummeting number of high school graduates during the next two to three years may render a school incapable of filling their space.
"Reality is that we are not able to house all of the incoming students," Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, said. During the Fall semester of 1989, several freshmen men were denied housing and tripling of rooms that were previously used as doubles was put into long-term effect. "We can't repeat that problem next year,'' Bonfiglio said. '' John Doyle's goal for the year is to find alternatives to the current tripling situation.'' "We let them (prospective students) know up front," Gardner said. Although she does not foresee a housing panic, Gardner predicts tripling next year. It is difficult for her to project the exact number of male and female students that will enroll. Cabrini's single sex dorms limit gender enrollment. An initial meeting last September was held between representatives from both institutions.

Brocchi felt that the group, however, would become isolated and fall victim to the prey of two differing philosophies of how things are done. He stresses that the decision is a step towards a needed conceptual unity. ''Is the experience worthwhile? Is it a Cabrini experience? I don't think so,'' Brocchi said. "I think that when one doesn't live on campus, barriers exist," Bonfiglio said. "Yet, the people living at Rosemont would have a great opportunity to experience two colleges. The person that was open to new experiences, and adventuresome in some ways, would find this an exciting option."
"A new dorm is our next priority," Bonfiglio said. He is unable to project a ground-breaking date. ''We need creative ways to address our concerns beyond building a new dorm.'' According to Gardner, many schools are afraid that a demographic trend based on a plummeting number of high school graduates during the next two to three years may render a school incapable of filling their space. "We may end up not needing a new dorm,'' Gardner said. Suggestions· from Gardner include limiting the number of residential enrollments, a reconfiguration of the residence halls in order to create a balance, or for students to approach Rosemont on an individual basis and work out a private agreement.

Russians Rally For Reform The wave of democracy that swept through Eastern Europe last year reached the heartland of Communism last Sunday when hundreds of thousands of Russian citizens marched through the streets of Moscow demanding the Communist Party release its monopoly on power. The march came on the eve of a Central Committee meeting, and was intended to show popular support for Gorbachev and his policy ofreform. Gorbachev then echoed the people's wish for a multi-party system in his speech before the Central Committee on Monday. Boris Yeltsin, a populist Communist leader called this meeting of the Central Committee, ''the party's last chance." ANC Is Legalized, Mandella To Be Released The President of South Africa legalized the African National Congress and announced that Nelson Mandella would be released from prison ''soon.'' The ANC has been outlawed since 1961 and Mandella has been in prison for 27 years. The announcement surprised both sides of the Aparthied-split country.
Political Fight Breaks Out Over Troop Cuts President Bush and Democratic leaders of Congress dispute the amount of troops that should be cut in Europe. In his State of the Union speech, the President proposed to keep 195,000 US servicemen in Europe; Democratic leaders in Congress then proposed cutting the level to 100,000. The White House accused the Democrats of playing a political "call and raise" game with the issued of NATO security. Auto Insurance Reform The latest auto insurance reform package to make its way to the Pennsylvania legislature has political leaders and lobbyists tearing into it. The lobbyists say the proposals are unfair and unconstitutional. The Govenor, the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader combined forces to support the legistlation which is capable, they say, of cutting rates between 10 and 40 percent. Philadelphians now pay the highest rates in the country.

Lessons in love from days of long ago by Carol Wells Yarrow While on bended knee, as the munnur of his heart spills over his quivering lips, he pleads "be my valentine." And, then she croons 'Tm forever yours" to the be "object of your affection." Be aware that your words this Valentine's Day could be a proposal. You may be tying the knot of marriage and not that of your shoe. This : •bill and coo" of St. Valentine's Day has been occurring since the Middle Ages. Feb.14 has long been regarded as a day '' sacred to lovers,'' a day when lovers send tokens to one another. There are several theories about the origin of St. Valentine's Day. One Roman legend is that of a priest, who was executed on this date for promoting Christianity. He was perceived as the "guardian of lovers," and became the patron saint. His name was Valentine. This legend was enhanced during the reign of Claudius II of ancient Rome. Claudius, in need of young men for his anny, prohibited marriage. It is believed that while being jailed for performing secret marriages, St. Valentine cured the jailer's daughter of blindness. Before his execution he signed his farewell message "from your Valentine.'' On this date of Feb. I 4, throughout all of Europe it was believed that partridges and blackbirds nest and begin to mate. Chaucer sets forth a confirmation of this belief in this "Parliament of Foules." "For this was Saint Valentine's day. When every foul cometh there to choose his mate." Also, during this time of antiquity, the Norman French used the word '' galantin'' to signify the "lover of women." Their pronunciation of "g" as "v" added to the confusion of "valentine's" origin. The most plausible theory for St. Valentine's Day involves the customary feast of Lupercalia. It was on the eve of this Roman festival that St Valentine was executed. Late in the 5th century ''Lupercalia'' becamethe ''Feast of St. Valentine.'' The celebration of St. Valentine's Day spread to Gelmany, AustriaandHungary, but was frowned upon by the church, and the custom was quickly disbanded. During the 1600s,St. Valentine's Day was gaily celebratedin France and F.ngland. The wealthy hosted lavish parties. Gentlemen bestowed their lovers with pricey gifts of flowers, rings and lockets. A pair of gloves was a proposal for marriage. Around 1760 the exchange of tender sentiments was expressed with less expensive tokens. Lettersandbandrnadekecpsaka. suchas ik,vea,ladics' prtcrs,~ and scrimshaw, became objects of affection. Around this time women began to participate in the exchange. They embroidered small silks and satins with initials, dates and romantic verse. These mementos kept the dust from the gentlemen's watchcases. The first commercial valentine which was printed fromcopperplatearound 1800, began an evolution of ''expressive love.'' For those who lacked writing talent, selfhelp books called "valentine writers" were available to aid in one's inscription. Commercial valentines were single sheets with "real lace" borders and satin ritsbons,depicting the Victorian era. In 1815, postage for same-town delivery dropped to a permy. Lovers could now afford to mail their "affections." "Paper pockets" doubled the postage rate, so these envelopes were rarely used. Mechanical valentines first appeared about 1840. They had a pull tab, honeycomb pop-outs and three-dimensional features. The onset of the twentieth century marked a change in the style of American valentines. People stopped buying sentimental valentines and leaned toward novelties such as thosecards that featured children. The most prized valentines were brightlycolored postcards from Gennany. During World War I, German valentines were banned in the United States. Despite the war, wives and sweethearts managed tosend valentines totheirhusbandsandloved ones in the armed forces. St. Valentine's Day survived in America. as a result of the birth of the major card companies which we know today--HaUmark, Norcross, and , American Greetings. In the midst of the Great Depression ofthe 1930s money was scarce, but the Valentine tradition survived. St. Valentine's Day is a serious tryst of theheart.If your "object of affection" does now bow to your "bill andCf!lt:r,""' Cupid Sbllldsby with his bowandquiver of arrows to aid in the •'magic of love.''

Teachers from 6 and less than concepts in math on this Monday morning. She spent a good deal of her weekend preparing the necessary materials for this lesson.Although I understand these finer concepts of math, McSherry next attempted to remind me that when the alligator's mouth is open wide it means greater than, and she proceedes with enthusiasm. Kelly Lyons, senio,r student teacher, got to go on a field trip with her first graders during the first week of her placement. She remarked how this would be the first time that she would be on a bus in years. Even though the same first grade novelty had worn off over the years: she still seemed to be excited about riding a bus again and "getting the day off of school." Daywalt shared some of her portfolio with me. She has already completed five bulletin boards including topics such as: pond and forest life, Valentine's Day, the month of February and a socialization/friendship board. Since she teaches kindergarten she relies on her imagination to spark the imagination of her pupils. "Kindergarten requires you to be more abstract and less structured,'' Daywalt said. "I have to be more creative in order to get them to be more aware of their surroundings." Infiltrating that creativity and spice for life in young children is something that most would come to expect from teachers in our elementary education system. However, by junior high school, many students, do not want to be entertained by teachers, they are simply entertained by each other. Annette Simone, senior student teacher, has pupils in the eighth grade. "It is funny because their honnon'.es are jumping around and you can just see it in some of their faces that their thoughts are with 'what am I doing tonight,"' she said. She certainly is not forfeiting the most exciting time of life, instead she can relive it from an objective
point of view and capitalize on witnessing the maturation process. As Simone watches her students mature, she can see a change in herself and her life style. Saturday afternoon,this young woman finally recalled herself from the dead when she awoke at 3:45 p.m. Apparently the Friday before was her first evening out all semester. She and Schaller said, ''Our bodies know it is Friday and they just collaspe'' All of the student teachers interviewed said that spending time with their friends in the evenings becomes difficult. They know that they can not go out during the week, and they are exhausted during the beginning of the weekend. Corlett regrets that many of her friends go home on the weekends and that the majority of her socializing time occurs on the evenings when she works in the Wig W am, the campus snack bar. Another part of the socializing for student teachers revolves around their day. Schaller said that most of her conversations are geared around teaching. Thus, the quality as well as the topics of conversation are focused around school, children, problems and lesson plans. Daywalt said that she enjoyed her weekends with her friends. •'It is good to get out and remember what it is like to talk to and with adults. After a while I am afriad that my mind will only relate to my kindergarden pupils.'' Schaller also feels that it is difficult to put the job behind her when she leaves for the day. There are so many children who experience such diverse home lives, it is hard not to wonder, sometimes worry about what goes on for them in their young, impressionable lives. Student teaching is not just an event that these education majors looked forward to, nor is it the nine-to-five job that members of the workforce common Iy experience. It goes beyond -- beyond to something that has now emerged its way into their lives, minds and hearts.

Campus security procedures under the gun by Chris Pesotsk_i Three thefts from donnitory rooms over winter break have campus security procedures under fire. Hillary Hoch, senior, had approximately $1600 in clothing and jewlery stolen from her room in house five sometime before the campus was re-opened on Jan. 14. ' 'When the security officer got here, he said ·Well this loolcs like a lot of stuff was stolen. You should probably call the police,"' Hoch said. Daniel Neyer, director of security, confirms that the security department encoll:I'ages victims of major thefts to call the police. ''There's no dollar amount involved, and anyone can call the police if they want to, but if it's a
big theft, we recommend it," Neyer said. Radnor Township police were notified of two other cases of stolen goods occurring over break. In one incident, a refrigerator and cassette deck were removed from a . room in house one. Campus security officials did note a person in the area when a window was found broken in that house, but will not confirm whether that individual is a suspect in the thefts. In the other incident, a radio was stolen from a Xavier Hall room during the Cavalier Christmas Oassic. Neyer claims that securing campus is difficult over break. "It's never a completely closed campus,'' Neyer said. According to Neyer, it is not suspicious if a security officer sees an individual

they look for signs of forced entry, frozen pipes, or other problems. One such routine check over break located the broken window in house one which may have been connected to the theft in that building. Hoch's room showed no signs of forced entry. "Both the door and windows were locked,'' Hoch

"Small things, such as- fistfights, are not usually reported," said Neyer. '' If someone wants to call the police in that kind of incident, they are free to. But the security department doesn't do that. "We have a judicial process here on campus to deal with small issues,•• Neyer said. ''The school has a policy that it does not shield students from criminal prosecution. If the police want to come onto campus, they are welcome to." "We do not feel duty-bound to report matters of behavior dictated by personal choice which in no direct way threatens the health or well-being of the community,'' said Bonfiglio. He uses this measure to determine what should be reported to the police and what should be handled internally. "Theft clearly involves a person's private porperty, and should b.e reported," Bonfiglio said. Hoch wants more done than simply reporting crimes. "We need to do more on campus. The administration has to listen to our complaints," Hoch said.
Alumni from 1 some of the other medical fields he had considered didn't allow that option. ' 'The best thing, for a student who is interested in medicine, to do is visit doctors," Pilla said.

Jeff Moloney has been a chemistry and biology teacher at the same Catholic high school in New Jersey since he graduated from Cabrini in 1977-with a degree in biology and secondary education.

teachers get the urge to leave or to change schools. Moloney said many teachers get discouraged because they find out they don't like working with children.
"Teaching is the kind of job which is a stepping stone for many people,'' he said. '' Many people use teaching as a stepping stone for business or research.'' He added that there is really no adv.ise or caution he can offerto an education major on whether or not they would like teaching until they are into it. The networking fair was sponsored by Alumni Affairs and Career Services. The Director of Alumni Affairs Martha Dale ur_gesstudents not to wait for career fair nights to network with alumni. ''Contacting an alumni gives students and informal opportunity to meet with someone in their field," Dale said. ''When a student contacts an alumni there is not the pressure of an interview. It is moreof a friend to friend contact. Students share common ground with the alumni--the same school, professors and background. It is a better opportunity than .just calling up a stranger. And the alums are always eager to help out.•• Students interested in networking with Cabrini graduates should contact the Director of Career Counseling Donna Seckar. Career Services has a file of all Cabrini alumni who have volunteered to talk about their careers with current students.

Athletes and drugs: status qLio or different in the '90s? by Mark Gudas I sat and ate my lunch two days after _Christmasand listened to the Joe Pellegrino show o_n610 WIP, All-Sports Radio. The topic of the afternoon was "The Listeners Biggest Gripes About Sports in the '80s." As I chomped away I thought about my gripes. The people in the tri-state area talked about poor officiating in the National Basketball Association, why the Eagles did not do this .or that, that Mike Gminski is not as physical as Patrick Ewing, Buddy Ryan, Howard Eskin, Ron Hextall and the Flyers, multi-purpose stadiums and the parking fees at them, the snowball incident at the Eagles game, and finally Phillies management. The longer the show went on, the more
upset I became. How simple minded could these people be? It seemed obvious to me what my biggest gripe was and what theirs should b.e as well. DRUGS AND ALCO-
HOL. Len Bias, Pelle Lindberg and most recently Billy Martin. I can't understand how these athletes just throw their life away. They have the world at their feet and they let it slip from under them. All of these and many more are tragic incidents and still no one stops to see what they can do to prevent them. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Johnny Unitas, Gordi Howe, and Julius Erving. What do all these names have in common? They were all great athletes who played their respective sports without using drugs.
The Bambino did not have to use steroids to bulk up his ai:ms to hit monstrous homeruns. Johnny U. threw the ball with grace and ran like a deer when flushed out of the pocket. And Howe, he could skate with the best of them. Erving was a better man than a basketball player. Search his career with a fine tooth comb and you will never find a blemish.of drug use. Maybe if the modem athlete of the '90s looked back at these careers they could learn more than just how the sport should be played. They might even realize that using drugs and alcohol are not worth the money they cost. Watch a football game on Sunday afternoon and the majority of sponsors are beer companies. I realize that these companies
are paying big bucks and without them there would be notelevision, but why can't more car and oil companies become sponsors? Everyone sees these deaths but alcohol is still a major promoter of sporting events. It seems like a double standard to me. If cigarettes were banned from television because of their harmfulness, why can't the same be done for beer commercials? I will be the first to admit that this will not stop underage drinking or drinking by athletes, but maybe if this becomes everyone's gripe it will cut down on these tragic incidents and prevent more athletes from striking out and fumbling before their time.

sports Memorabilia from 12 Fraud has crept its way into the hobby in the forms of counterfeiting (cards and autographs), non-authentic jerseys, mailfraud, card restoration, price collaboration, and unwarranted hype of a player. Ciotti said, "There are too many guys on the market that are in it for the money and they in tum take unknowledgeable kids for a ride. Kids buy on impulse and for their heroes." But Ciotti emphasized that most of the dealers are fair. Out of 50 dealers, he estimates maybe three to five are bad, but even that number is hard to pin down in this unregulated market. Most memorabilia changes hands so fast that it is hard to find its origin. One anonymous dealer at a show stated a problem that illustrated how deep fraud can be. "A man was selling a ball that was supposedly signed by Hall of Famers after their induction at Cooperstown for $300. After I examined it there was only one problem. Roy Campinella's signature was on the ball. Problem was is that he couldn't have possibly signed it - he was paralyzed from the neck down at the ceremony," said the dealer. An obvious answer to the fraud problem would be regulation. But in a business where it is hard to regulate people, regulating memorabilia is impossible. But there are many in the hobby that say that the recent prosperity will not give way to a recession. They use the rationale that as long as children have baseball heroes, they will purchase baseball cards. "There is always a hero for these kids to believe in and that's all it takes (to sell cards)," Ciotti said. Janet Stipp, of Classic Collectibles in Devon, stated that not all ofherclientele are children. She said that a good portion of her
loquitur customers are men in their '30s or '40s who are big spenders on the older material either for investment or to relive their youth. "We have not peaked yet and it is still going up in popularity. But the boom has a lot to do with the economy. People have money to spend,•' Stipp said. · Ciotti extended that notion to involve even children. "Believe it or not I've seen 12-year-olds shell out a wad of $20 bills. And if they don't have the money, their parents will pay because they believe their kids know a good investment," Ciotti said "And most of them do." Kelly Tremoglie, who runs a baseball card club for six to 12 year olds, stated that kids are much smarter when it comes to the investment part of the hobby. "My kids in the card club are in it for investment as well as fun. They definitely know what they are talking about," Tremoglie said. Joe DiAntonio, 14, ofBoothwyn has been collecting cards for three years and basically for investment. By collecting complete sets and star players DiAntonio hopes it will pay off. ''Card collecting is kind of like stocks because there is lots of money involved," DiAntonio said. Ciotti feels that the market will continue to flourish. And that the doomsayers who feel that greed and fraud will ruin the hobby from within (a la the coin and stamp market of the early '80s) are wrong. "I've seen both sides of the fence (having been a coin dealer) and I feel there is a difference. A kid would have to wait a lifetime to see a return on a $20 dollar coin. With baseball cards, a kid can pay 50 cents for a pack of cards and get a $5 card,•' Ciotti said. "There is still nothing like a kid opening a pack of cards and seeing his face light up. That's where the hobby will live," Ciotti said.

Lady Cavs win big, 60-30 by Kelly Reed Though the lady Cavs are playing without two of their starters, and the less experienced players have had to change positions and learn totally new plays, they are playing great basketball. The women• s basketball team earned the compliment above and deserves many more with the kind of game they played at home against Lincoln on Tuesday, Jan. 30. The lady Cavaliers beat Lincoln convincingly with a 60-30 rout, despite their injured players, and the fact that Lincoln is always a tough team. Lincoln players were playing a physical type game, and racked up many fouls for intentionally elbowing and tripping Cabrini. The team itself got a technical from a referee for their behavior towards him and their unsportsmen-like conduct during the game. "Lincoln is always a bunch of cry babies, they played really rough and got upset because the refs were catching everyone of their fouls and calling them," Dan Welde, Cabrini's women• s team head coach said. "Lincoln was really obnoxious, they were coming after Christi Courseault, a senior center, and they just couldn't put their game together and we did,'' Shannon O'Donnell, a sophomore guard, said. After the game, Cabrini and Lincoln did not shake hands, as most teams usually do. However.coach Welde went to Lincoln's bench to shake their coach• s hand. "All hell broke loose at that point, as I walked back to our bench I saw two Lincoln girls start punching Christi, while she was at the water fountain," Welde said. ''Lincoln played a really rough game, words were exchanged between us and them and it seemed like they singled me out, the Lincoln girls were elbowing me and one tried to trip me," Courseault said. "I think I was singled out because I don't sit back and let them push me around, I won't let them intimidate me,''
Courseault said. "I took Christi out of the game with about five minutes left to play because we were winning, I thought things would settle down, but they didn't,'' Welde said. ••A lot of the credit for keeping the incident from getting even worse should go to the Lincoln's men's team, they grabbed the Lincoln girls and tried to break things up," Welde said. The lady Cavs have a difficult schedule ahead of them, especially with Barb Milligan being hurt. However, Julie Snow, a senior guard, who injured her shoulder has been practicing and should be able to play soon. "Right now we are in a state of desperation, every conference game is crucial at this point in our season,•' Welde said. •'Christi is playing the best basketball of her life right now and if the team buckles down and if Julie can come back strong we can do what it takes to win," Welde said. ''What we need to do is to just concentrate on each game and try our best, we have to beat Marywood to stay in the playoffs, that will be an important game for us as a team,'' Courseault said.

Baseball: It's a whole new ballgame (Editor's note: First of a two part series on sports memorabilia)
by Carlo Iacono It's the summer of '79 and you just had the game winning hit in your Little League game. In celebration, your coach takes you to the tee-cream shop where you also buy a pack of baseball cards. After forking over a quarter, you unwrap a piece of Americana. The sugary gum tastes sweet in your mouth as you flip through a pack of your baseball heroes. You catch your breath as your favorite player is there in living color. The sun is wann and life is grand because you just received a cardboard momento of your hero hat you'll keep forever. This scene of innocence, filled with wide-eyed children gazing at their heroes, 'las long been the staple of baseball-card collecting. After marriage, war, moving, or morn throwing them away, baseball cards disappeared from people· s Iives as a fond symbol of their childhood. But by riding the wave of nostalgia that baby boomers yearn for, baseball cards have become a lucrative business for those packrats that saved everything. These cardboard \ymbols of America's pastime are no longer kept for the mere fun of it. Cards, along with other sports mem<:>rabilia,are big moneymakers for many individuals. These individuals combine love of baseball with knowledge of a deal to earn a large amount of money in an unregulated, and mostly untaxable market. "The hobby will remain prosperous because interest will constantly be replenished," Neil Carey, who has worked in the business for nine years, said. In the beginning of card history there was the companies of Topps and Bowman. Starting with Bowman in 1948 (Topps answered in 1951), the two companies competed until Topps bought the fonner out in I955. Topps virtually monopolized the industry until 1980 when it lost a court battle to Leaf Inc. That court decision opened the gates for issues by Leaf (under the name of
Donruss) and Fleer (a Philadelphia based company) in 1981. As the market boomed in the late '80s, other card companies came out of the woodwork. Sportflics offered a three-dimensional baseball card in 1986, Score produced its set in 1988, Bowman (under the direction of Topps)came back in 1989, and Upper-Deck (the darling of the hobby because of its high quality photography) also debuted in 1989. The boom in collecting interest means a glut of cards in the '80s. A 15-card pack of your diamond heroes today can run anywhere from 50 cents (Topps) to a $1.25 (Upper-Deck). Rookie cards of star players are the darlings of the hobby. A 1973 Topps Mike Schmidt rookie costs in the neighborhood of $250. The 1984 Donruss Don Mattingly rookie, once ascending to the $100 range, has now settled in the $60 area. If older memorabilia is your cup of tea, then mint conditioned cards of stars from the '50s and '60s start in the hundreds and peak in the thousands. You can· t touch a Mickey Mantle from the 1950's for under a thousand dollars. with the gem of the collection bemg his rookie card valued at $5000.

The more unusual an item the more the value. A 1964 Phillies' World Series ticket is priced at $75. It is a collector's item because the Phillies never made it to the Series after their famous September collapse. The wrapper for a 1951 Topps pack, sans cards, holds a $20 value. · 'This is a business that was made up of nothing and turned into something similar to the stock market,'' dealer Steve Ciotti said, ''Cards sell themselves. All I have to do is move up and down to get change." Sports dealers estimate that there are 150,000 sports collectors in the Philadelphia area. This demand extends theneed for a large number of sports collectible shows - with baseball cards being the main attraction - virtually every weekend. There are over 30 baseball card shops in the immediate area - the maJonty of them poppmg up in the last five years. With the amount of interest and money that is in the business, the environment is ripe for unscrupulous people to riddle the hobby with fraud and othernpoffs. The innocence of card collecting disappeared in the '80s. ·
