From chaos to calm:

The power of a smile

A very long journey

Major breakthroughs seem few and far between on campus. The establishment of CARET was one last year. Little else is really memorable. Even before classes began this semester, though, every student actively participated in cooperation with the business office (Yes, you did read students-cooperate-and business office in the same sentence) to make this. semester's registration process an efficient and painless one. A true Cabrini first. More efficient planning and tougher standards implemented by the business office, and more responsibility on the students' part eased the campus into the new school year. Wielding their menacing power, (that of the dollar), the business office forced students to pay their bills by an Aug. 20, deadline. This is the earliest cut-off date that has been set in recent years. And cut-off they did. 51 students were not allowed to return to classes because they did not meet their financial requirements. The business office was out to be taken seriously, and for once they deserve the respect. There was no chaos, no three-hour long lines, and not as many confusing bills. They accomplished what once seemed an impossibility, and all in one day. .,.---This event has proven what administration, staff, and students can accomplish when all are working towards a common goal for the common good. Creative leadership and a willingness to work together is the key to a community's survival. These are the same realizations CARET exemplified last spring. Now that we have it, let's use the key to open even more doors. We could unlock many of the other serious problems we face, both practical and philosophical, involving prejudice, apathy, and selfishness. We could have many more breakthroughs.

Refuseto forget Words are easy to say, harder to write, and even harder to follow. The faculty's recently released statement regarding intoleranceshould be viewed as more than just words. The id~as and values it expresses should be embraced as a living testament. The faculty is making a commitment. A commitment all of us should consider making. For the c;impus, it may seem as if the racial crisis has passed. But it continues in the minds and hearts of some, in others' daily lives, and throughout nations acorss the world. We mustn't forget last spring. We mustn't forget our brothers and sisters in South Africa and beyond. Each of us has the power to either destroy or support each other. By refusing to forget and unanimously accepting the statement, the faculty have put together a blueprint for a way to live and think toler~tly and without prejudice. -·,

jennifer morrison managing editor "If the last thing you do in your life is smile, then you've accomplished everything." Sometimes personal philosophies follow you through the rest of your life. As a young child my father would always remind me to smile. At that time I never fully understood why. When I was a senior in high school, sitting in Mrs. Collins' English class on a Friday afternoon, with Saturday on my mind, I would always write the word "smile." This one simple word always knew how to brighten my day. Although at times this word would have to be written five times, it still had a way of cheering me up. By the end of my senior year, my friend LeeAnne and I would write quotes or poems that had to do with smiling. Our notebooks would be filled with sayings which expressed a happiness we found when we could smile either together or with others. One such quote is listed at the beginning of this viewpoint. I keep the passage, which LeeAnne did in calligraphy for me, in a place where I will always see it as a constant reminder for my daily life. In one aspect you can see this passage as a reminder to fulfill each stepping stone to life with a smile. In the other aspect you can see that without this fulfillment in your stepping stones you won't feel as if your goal in life is accomplished. If you are working on a project, event or something that is very important to you and you feel complete when you are finished, then you will naturally smile. On Sept. 8, 1990, the first official social event was held at Cabrini. Throughout the summer and the first week back to school, the social activities planning board and I worked on the event from start to finish. I was just waiting for a little ''night magic,'' if you will, for a beautiful reggae evening. Thanks to a terrific planning board, perfect weather, a great band and an enormous turnout, I felt I had accomplished my goals.

This accomplishment )eft a smile in my heart, a feeling I wouldn't change for the world. Ifl were to never do another activity or project I would be fulfilled. I know this seems harsh, but think of the quote, "if the l~st thing you do in your life." Actually. I don't want to think - about that, I feel it's along way off. Butthis part still hits my heart the hardest. People all over the world finish' their existence on earth, the only one that they will ever have, •and they are unhappy with themselves. Maybe they didn't finish a goal they set for themselves or maybe they just didn't lead a very happy life. No matter what the reason they just missed the chance of a lifetime to literally live life to its fullest. When I first came to Cabrini, I found something to be quite interesting, the people always found time to smile and say hello. After two years, I have found that most people associated with Cabrini smile. Coincidence? I don't think so. Of course we go through some rough times when we have to write the word "smile" more than five times. But we always find-our way back to the state of smiling. Smiling takes on many different phases. A grin is usually flashed when you first meet someone you don't know. A flirt is a way of saying I want to know you real well. A smirk, given either before or after a sly or funny remark. And last but not least, a full smile usually accompanied by a hug, laugh, hello, or a kiss on the cheek. These full smiles are given when people are generally happy to meet to see you. If you ever need a full smile see Dr. Craigie. As I've grown through different stages of life I've found that smiling is a gift not to be taken lightly. I've learned it's not hard to smile. Like the old saying, "It takes more muscles to frown than to smile." And most of all I've learned that maybe father does know best.

To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joyce McKeough from the business office for her efficiency and professionalism. As I entered the business offices last week to settle accounts, I was greeted by a pleasant-tempered professional who was efficient and confident in her dealings with me. I have never had such a positive experienc~ in that offi<;e. Her attitude made what is usually a frustration, a pleasure. Once again, three cheers should go to Joyce McKeough. I can only hope that her level of professionalism and courtesy is indicative of what can be expected in the future.

CARET reorganizes for coming year <

•

by Chris Pesotski Several different racial problems rocked campus last winter, prompting irate students to fonn the Coalition Against Racial and Ethnic Intimidation (CARET). At the time, Pam Stempleski, a CARET member, said that the coalition existed to prompt action on the part of the administration to put an end to the problems. Last spring, it seemed that CAIIBT had been highly effective in completing its goal. This fall, CARET's presence has been little noted following the departure of Tyrone Carr, fonner assistant director of resident life and Rita Calicat, fonner activities director, who were both prime motivators according to CARET member Monifa Williams. Fonner director of resident life John Doyle agrees that the departures of Carr and Calicat necessitates a change in leadership. "CARET is well-supported by the faculty," Doylesaid. "Iwouldnot be surprised to see one of them step up and help the group out.'' 'Tm hoping we can get something together," Williams said. '' Some of the momentum has died down, and everyone knows Tyrone and Rita were our big motivators, but we're going to get moving soon.'' Williams said she and Anna Rodriguez, a fellow CARET member, have had discussions with the admissions office about the possibility of visiting inner-city schools to recruit minority students. "We've worked with them before," Williams said. "Right now we're trying to get things together for a meeting with the rest of

At last spring's rally, Randi Schwerner, Tyrone Carr, John Doyle and Rita Calicat united against racist attacks. Upon their resignations, CARET is left with little direct supervision. file photo CARET." ,Other members of CARET are waiting for that meeting. "Nobody's said anything about CARET to me in any way," Juliann Dunn, a CARET member, said. ''I guess right now everything' s really up in the air." Doyle feels that toward the end of last year CARET had begun to function with a degree of independence from staff and faculty advice. "I think that right now there needs to be a period where they decide what the leadership of the organization is going to be,'' Doyle said. Last spring, the administration met with the CARET members and gave assurances that racial problems would not be ignored. Among the assurances the organization's members felt they had from administration were that a minority affairs officer would be hired, that a scholarship for minorities would

be established, and that the more would be done to increase a minority presence in both faculty and the student body. To date a minority affairs officer has not been hired. No additional full-time minority faculty members have been added. Dunn feels several other areas where CARET believed agreements had been reached have been ignored. "I feel hurt that it (CARET) wasn't taken more seriously," Dunn said. "I feel kind of brushed aside.'' Williams says that despite CARET's current low level of activity, the members are not done fighting for what they believe in. "I won't be satisfied until the majority of our demands have been met.'' Williams said that CARET prioritized its demands for this year. "We realize that some things are

more important than others and must come first," Williams said. She felt that minority recruitment and the vice-presidential scholarship were among the first issues which needed to be addressed. Dunn feels that additional motivation must be found to make CARET an important part of campus life again. "IhopethatCARET remains a big part of what happens here at Cabrini,'' Dunn said. ''To see it fail would be a big loss." Doyle believes that this is a crucial time for CARET. "In the current lack of crisis, there is a high potential for a vacuum of activity and leadership to fonn." Williams feels that CARET must reach beyond its awarenessraising role and grow into a support network as well. "I want minorities to know that there is a support system for every one," Williams said. ''Our doors are always open.''

Faculty condemns intolerance by Chris Pesotski In a series of meetings over the summer, the faculty senate formulated and unanimously approved a statement of position about intolerance. ~ statement was released to the campus on Sept. 6. When releasing the statement, faculty senate President Adeline Bethany said, ··we believe that it is important for the college community to know what opinion the

Such acts injure the spirit of community that we.at cabrini share and seek to foster. 2.

in believing that, because individuals can and do change, especially in the college years, such changes are possible. 3. We declare that in our classes, in our conversations, and by our examples we will act to promote understanding of and tolerance for individuals who differ from the majority. 4. Moreover, we declare that we will work individually and collectively to inculcate an appreciation of the enrichment members of minority groups bring to our community and to our lives. We urge our community to join us in recognizing that diversity among our members is a source of vitality and strength to be fostered whenever possible.

3 more SECURITY from 1 totally uncalled for," Gallagher said. Students who speed on campus are also a security hazard. ''We would have to pursue the speeding vehicle and that could be dangerous to students on campus," McGreal said. For fire safety reasons,this year security plans to enforce the three cars only at the top parking lots of the seven houses. "That's ridiculous," Barb Wilson, senior, said. ''People will begin parking in the street and blocking the road or parking in Sacred Heart and walking back in the darlc,both could cause problems." "You want to see your car at night,'' Charlie Tucci, junior, said. "If parking is becoming too overcrowded maybe they should not allow freshmen to have cars on campus." Another change and addition to campus security is the bars on the first floor windows of the seven houses. Lorraine Lill, a sophomore,lives in the McManus house on the first floor. "The bars are pretty flimsy," Lill said. "I could pull them out if I needed to, I think their just there for looks. They won't keep anyone out who really wants to get in." "They don't bother me," Tucci said. "I use mine as a drying rack." ''I'm really happy about the bars," Wilson said. "They make me feel safer." The bars were placed on the windows this summer to make the houses more theft proof. According to security guard McGreal disciplinary problems are not to be dealt by security. "Alcohol and druken students are a disciplinary problem, not a security problem,'' McGreal said. "Resident life should handle those situations." On the other hand, security guard Gallagher has dealt with alcohol related problems and has called upon Resident Life to assist him. "I like to be assisted by an R.A. when I have to confront anyone, so there's no misunderstanding about what is done with the confiscated stuff," Gallagher said. Overall the main concerns of students about campus security is the lack of lighting in some areas and the lack of enough security personnel at night. "The sidewalks down to the houses are very dark and grown over with trees. They should cut back the trees and add a light or two," Wilson said. "There should be more than one guard on at night," Lill said. "More things could and do happen a:t night and that's a lot to ask one man to .handle."

3 new information specialists put Cabrini in the know by Sharlene Sephton Information comes in many ways and forms, and as three new staff members prove, it is something the college could not function without. The first provides information about others to the campus. The second provides information about the campus to others. The third facilitates information throughout the entire campus community. According to Kristine Mudrick, the new library director, "A lot goes onbehindthescenesofthelibrary. It's not just opening doors." With two weeks left of the July summer session, Mudrick assumed her new position. "It was too quiet," Mudrick said. "I'm very happy to see students returning, although strangely enough, not many have been here yet.'' Mudrick is originally from New England, where she also went to school. She received an undergraduate degree in psychology from Bates college, and a masters from the University of Rhode Island. She is now a Swarthmore resident. Maybeny became involved with library services as a stuKristine-Mudrick dent assistant one summer and has worked her way up the ranks. "I know what it's like pasting book pockets for two hours,'' Mudrick said. Her previous job experiences include working in a technical library for the Navy, and spending the last four years at Neumann College as head of library and media services. ''To keep from getting stale,'' Mudrick also sits on the Academic Council and is serving an executive two year term on the Tri-state College Library Cooperative. The consortium consists ofover 30 area libraries. "I can plug for what Cabrini needs, and it also gives us visibility," Mudrick said. "I like to keep my door open and ears open to any concerns," Mudrick said.

As admissions counselor, Joanne Maybeny, will be involved in helping prospective students learn more about college life, and select a school. "I feel very strongly about the benefits of highereducation, and I want to do my part to encourage the idea of small, personalized attention,'' Mayberry said. Mayberry is a 1990 graduate from Gettysburg College where she received a B.A. in psychology and business management. A year spent in Gettys?urg's admissions office as a camp:us host, planning overnight visits and social activities, increased Mayberry's interest in her chosen field. "I could see first-hand what high school students are going through,'' Mayberry said. Maybeny commutes from Wayne to carry out her daily responsibilities such as evaluating applications, setJoanne Mayberry ting up interviews, and recruiting on the road. "Every person you meet has something you can learn from, whether it's a janitor or the president,'' Mayberry said. Mayberry will also be concentrating on her extended roles as an admissions alumni counselor and sports liaison. She will be encouraging alumni to become a part of the admissions process by hosting parties for currently accepted students. As sports liaison, her goals is to improve communication regarding sports recruitment. While Mayberry plans to stay in admissions for a while, she also plans to further her education by studying for a masters in either student personnel or administration. Joseph Anselrnin, new administrative computer

systems coordinator, also began pursuing his career early in his education. He has been interested in computers and writing program since high school. "I'm at the stage of my life where I have blinders on to anything outside of my technical work. I have my goal in sight and am really close to achieving it," Anselman said. A bachelor from North Hampton, Pa., Anselmin recieved a B.A. in math from Lehigh University. He is looking forward to returning to an area college for his masters. He was attracted to Cabrini by a combination factor of its small size and its initiative to buy top shelf equipment. ''The IBM AS400 we work with here is the most advanced business machine in the world," Anselmin said. Primarily, Anselmin oversees the physical health of the machine, including the six-foot tall air-conditioner that helps maintain it. "If you really think of it, what I'm protecting is all the work that went into setting up all the data bases,'' Anselmin said. "That's worth two to three times the cost of the machine itself.''

"I touch on everyone's work," Anse~in said. This includes inteacting with the business office to make sure all bills are correct, and helping admissions with requests for information. Anselmin's professional goals are to develop a quality mangement system, and keep pushing it into the future.

Cashing in on the high cost of textbooks by Christina Roach

In response to the rising costs of college textbooks and the hassle of a one-hour wait to purchase them, the Student Academic Council (SAC) sponsored a used book sale this year. "I am the oldest child in my family," freshman Steve Czech said, '' I didn't expect book prices like this. All of my books will cost me about $210.

''Then the professor will decide he wants a new textbook, and it will have only a few minor changes from the old one.'' The teachers, however, say they have the students best interests in mind. The teachers want to give the students the most up to date education possible. English and communications professor Carter Craigie commented that the price of books is rising everywhere. He blames inflation and competition among the publishing companies. Craigie said he thinks it is important to assign the most modem books to his students. Craigie does not agree, however, with the practice of not using assigned texts. "If you are going to make students buy a book, then use it. A teacher ought to be able to plan better." Dr. Larry Thompson, a journalism professor at Northeast Texas Community College, blamed ,the publishers and bookstores in the Gannett article. "Ninety-five percent of au professors make no money from textoooks, ·' he said. "Most fields are advancing incredibly fast and it is vital to give students the best and most current education we can. I would much rather give the student up-to-date information than an outdated, less-expensive education.'' ''There is a myth in America,'' Thompson added. "I call it 'the myth of the poor student.' Most students complain about the cost of tuition and books, but many of these students will go out on a date spending $50 or more in one night. They blow money left and right and then come to school and cry about the high cost of an education.•• SAC treasurer Lea Brundin said the used book sale was very successful. She said about 90 books were sold. That figure was about half of the books offered for sale. '' About 95 percent of the books that did not sell were books that were not being used this semester,•' Brundin said. According to Brundin, $1042.50 was grossed from the book sale. About $112 from the proceeds will go towards SAC's budget. Salladino said the SAC intends to run a used book sale again in the spring. He hopes that due to the publicity and popularity of the first one, the next one will be more organized and have more books for sale.

Erin Mccarte, a 5 feet 1 inch, 110 pound package of energy, may not have been the number one player on last year's tennis team. This year her improved playing, support, enthusiasm, and drive to become better with every match has earned her the honor of this week's athlete of the week. McCarte, a junior and co-captain of the team, has been playing tennis for the Lady Cavs since her freshman year. It was hard for McCarte her freshman year because of the age difference between her teammates and herself, and being the only freshman on the team. She was seeded sixth that first fall and has been improving every since. Since that time she has been seeded second in doubles with 1990 graduate Pam Croke and also competed very well during the 1989 season until she sustained an ankle injury. "I have weak ankles and I pulled my achilles tendon," McCarte said. "It was hard having to sit on the bench and watch because I really wanted to be out their on the court." "She's a plugger," Coach Reggie Day said. "She's moved from six to five to four to three, and every year she gets better.'' To the other 11 women on the team she is an excellent leader. "She makes everyone feel like a family," Karen Bell, sophomore, said. ''She gives the team support, she's

Taiwan was the farthest thing from Dan Welde' s mind as he prepared to celebrate St. Patrick's Day 1990. That evening fonner St. Joseph's University men's basketball coach Jim Boyle contacted an old friend, John Dzik. Dzik, Cabrini's athletic director and fonner assistant at St. Joe's with Boyle, was asked ifhe knew of any good candidates to coach theTaiwan women's national team.

Dzik mentioned Welde, Cabrini's women's coach, as a possible choice. And according to Welde, less than one week later he filled that coaching void. Welde met with Boyle, who would head the Taiwan men's program, and Asian Youth Games Representative Manny Lopez to work out the details. An April 21 flight later, and Welde was off for a four month Far East excursion. "The trip was a sacrifice to my family, but not financially," Welde, who owns his own business, said. "With the flexibility provided by me owning a business, I felt that the trip would bring me one step closer to life-long goal." The goal Welde spoke of was to become a Division I women's head basketball coach. "When I first came out of college, (becoming a Division I coach) was not my goal. But now that my business has done well, it was time to backtrack to get ahead in my goal," Welde said. "This trip could only

help."

The Asian jaunt ended on Sept. 4 and was split into four phases. The first quarter consisted of watching miles of game film, and dozens of tryout camps to produce the best 24 women out of over a hundred 17-19 year-old candidates. The second part enabled Welde to train the team in individual skills to allow them to gain confidence in their ability. "The toughest part was to make them believe that they could win. Once we accomplished that, anything was possible,'' Welde said. "Anything" consisted of setting up defenses and team play. The Taiwanese fonned trap, man-to-man and zone defenses. And in the end, the self-confidence Welde helped foster almost gave it an upset victory over China. "We lost 70-66 to China and that is when the players knew they could win," Welde said. "The last thing I said to them was that now they know they can beat China and for them to tell future teams." Welde's Taiwan team finished fourth, behind Korea, Japan, and China in the week long Nagoya, Japan tournament. That attempt fared better than Boyle's men players as they ended in the seventh spot. Part of Welde's goal was to lend his basketball knowledge to Taiwanese coaches so that they can carry on the new found skills. But that final phase proved to be the most troublesome of the trip. ''I think we would have won the whole tournament but there were too many assistants (four Taiwanese) and they got in the way," Welde said. "Towards the end around tournament time it got worse as we (him and Boyle) were regulated to 'technical advisors.' If they stayed out of the way we could have won." Welde's overall impression of the Taiwanese team was of hard working individuals who listen. Welde said, "They can do anything that Americans can do. In fact they are better than my Cabrini team." The team Welde presented consisted of a 6'3" 20 point scorer. Contrary to the

--e:::=:::;;;;.....,:;: photo by Frank Emmerich

Dan Welde typical stereotype of Asian people being small, Welde said that his team consisted ofive six-footers. "There are 20 million Taiwanese to choose from so you are bound to get tall people,'' Welde said. ''But in order for them to improve they have to listen to Americans." The prospects of Welde returning to the project in the same capacity when the next games are held two years from now are good. "I think that the position will be offered to me again, but I haven't made up my mind if I'll go," Welde said. Welde took home with him a further love for the stateside living, and a new way to do warm up drills. ''They look good in warm-up drills with a bunch of weaves, so I think I'll implement thematCabrinithisyear,"Welde said. "I'm looking forward to getting back with my team at Cabrini." '' Another custom is that they bow to their coach in Taiwan. I sortofliked that," Welde said. "Now I wonder if I could get my Cabrini team to do that.''

Varsitystatuscloserfor men'svolleyball by Charles Waterfall As the result of an application submitted for.a grant from the United States Volleyball Association (U.S.V.B.A.) last year, the men's volleyball club will receive S6,000 over a period of three years. That is not to say that the team will become a varsity sport, as intended. From the start, the club has wanted to be an intercollegiate team. But, according to John Dzik, athletic director, the team must first prove ability. interest, and organization as a club. Former student, Mike '•Spike'' Charvella, first made a proposal to Dzik, two years ago when he was captain of the club. His urge for a varsity team failed. Last year, junior Charlie Tucci, one of three captains made a second proposal, and addressed it to Dean of Students Robert Bonfiglio. "(Bonfiglio) was very supportive and even attended the games,'' Tucci said. Tucci expressed that the proposal was more in-depth, covering how the team originated, the stats, the players, and an estimated budget. From there, Bonfiglio met with Dzik to discuss the matter. '' From what I understood, both wanted to give it a try," Tucci said. The proposal is presently being evaluated by President Sr. Eileen Currie and the senior staff. "The issue is presently in the negotiation and factfinding stages,'' Dzik said. He added that the concern is the cost to sponsor the team, as well as the availability of sufficient funds. Dzik will function as a middleman, providing Sr. Eileen and the senior staff with the facts and recommendations,

while answering to the team members. Along with the proposal, Tucci applied for the grant from the U.S. V.B.A. In June of this year, the grant was approved; both Bonfiglio and Dzik agreed to accept. "I think we wouldn't have been considered (for varsity) without the support of school and students,'' Tucci said. He added that last year, a petition signed more than 200 names in support of the men's volleyball club to become intercollegiate. Since the club was organized four years ago, the team has been entirely funded by themselves, costing over $150 a year. · At this time, Dzik expressed that he is "cautiously optimistic," in regard to the club's possible change in status. "If there is the interest, enthusiasm and ability to support the intercollegiate sport, and we have the resources, then I think itwillhappen,"Dziksaid. "Andlkindoffeel it will happen.'' "I think that it will all work out,'' Tucci said. "I'm excited." In prospect of the proposal's acceptance, the men's volleyball team will become a spring, intercollegiate sport. Also, the club will begin a search for a coach for the team in November. Tucci expressed a need for a new setter. As a club, the men's volleyball team has competed with Villanova University. Delaware University, Eastern College, Penn State Delco., SwarthmoreCollcge, University of Penn, Lehigh, and Northeastern J.C. If the club becomes varsity, they will compete with other division III teams such as Penn State (main campus), Lebanon Valley, and a few New York teams.
