Studentgovernment,adviserdebate movienight by Kimberly Keck Because of a dispute over copyright laws, movie night, sponsored by the Student Government Association has come into conflict with the student services office. The social activities committee sponsors movie night. SGA's adviser Jennifer Marks-Gold advised SGA to give movie night an educational theme. The copyright laws state that films used for educational purposes do not infringe copy right laws. The legality of SGA showing films solely for entertainment in a
public place is questioned by the student services office. "Breaking these laws could lead to Cabrini being sued," Marks-Gold said. In orderto continue movie night, a temporary compromise has been put into effect. Thought provoking questions known as movie menus will be distributed at each movie showing. After the movie, a voluntary discussion will be led by an SGA member. "The college hopes to have official guidelines for the entire campus (not just SGA) by the end of this semester,"
according to Marks Gold. '' And these guidelines will be printed in next year' student handbook.'• Marks-Gold was enthusiastic about the movie menus. According to Marks-Gold, these menus will not conflict with leisure. She said, ''The movie menus will enhance the movie by questioning the movie's themes and help determine what to look for in a movie.'' SGA prefers to keep movie night in its original form. According to Jennifer Morrison, social activities chairperson, the student activities committee investigated before
registering complaints. "We are willing to cooperate," said Barbara Wilson, social activities assistant. ''People don't have to learn 24 hours a day," said Joe Hvisdos social activities assistant, ''Movie night is a stress reliever. We shouldn't have to educate students.'' According to Felicia Falcone, social activities assistant, this new format will drive people away. Falcone said,' 'I fail to see the more MOVIE on 4
Conductcode revised by Matt Hodlofski If you haven't noticed, the student code of conduct has undergone a few changes to last year's inaugural policy. The changes include new or revised clauses on arson, littering, and smoking and non-smoking areas. The rest of the changes from 1989-1990 to 1990-1991 concern ordeal in directrelation to prejudices with social, cultural, ethnic, racial, religious or sexual slants. "I believe the recommended sanctions serveasa preventiveand educational service, Dean of Students, Dr. Robert Bonfiglio said. It is only the second year that the code of conduct is in effect. We wanted to make sure everything was clear." According to the student handbook minimum sanctions range from·· first offense written warnings and community service to probation and finally after the fourth offense, expulsion. Although the code of conduct has added some needed bylaws and extra phrases and sentences, the code does not say what is right or what is wrong. The 1990-1991 student handbook has listed different policies which Cabrini administration must follow. The most controversial policy resident assistants deal with is the alcohol policy. "I think the sanctions should be more clearly defined," junior Michael Tino said. "Cabrini College considers the abuse of alcohol... as a health care problem and treats it as such. The term abuse as used in this policy shall refer to the consumption of alcohol... during one's tenure at Cabrini College,'' according to the student handbook. ''This includes on-campus consumption, consumption at
Cabrini- sponsored events, and one's return to campus while under the influence of alcohol...·' In other words, if a student comes back from the local tavern intoxicated, an RA has the right to put that person on report whether they cause a commotion or not. "Nobody hangs out together here at Cabrini because resident life does not allow the campus to be united the way it is supposed to be," Tino said. ''The code is more specific but sanctions are more vague. The administration allowed themselves a lot more leeway in dealing with individuals," second year resident assistant Pam Stempleski said. The biggest change from last year to this year in resident assistant's jobs is the confiscating of alcohol from an illegal party. Last year if a party was broken up by a resident assistant he or she would have to take the alcohol away from the offender(s). This year they don't have to. "I like this change because I am in a less dangerous situation now. I'm trusting them (the offenders) to get the alcohol out themselves,'' Stempleski said. For some resident assistants, their job is as clear as their job description. "My job is if somebody breaks a rule I write them up," first year resident assistant Mary Shimkus said. Although I know what my job is,Idonotthink these new rules differ people from breaking them." ''We need to maintain a sense of order and enhance the way people relate to each other," Bonfiglio said. The only violationsthat are listed officially with fines are disobeying the alcohol policy, visitation policy, illegal room changes and the trash policy.

Drugs: finding answers by Karen Dumorney Enforcing and implementing drug policy on college campuses is one way colleges and universities are curbing the drug and alcohol abuse on campus. According to the Cabrini College Handbook, Cabrini is concerned with illegal drug use and views it as detrimental to the achievement of institutional and individual goals and inconsistant with the proper functioning of an academic community. Therefore, the possession, sale or use of illegal drugs as prescribed by Commonwealth law, and the unauthorized sale of prescription and over-the-counter drugs are in violation of College policy. Similiarly, the manufacture of drugs and the possession or use of drug paraphernalia are also violations of College policy. Persons involved in this type ofactivity, eitheron or off the Cabrini campus, will be subject to disciplinary action. In every case, drugs and paraphernalia found will be turned over to the proper authorities as well.
In no case will the college shield students from the possible legal consequences of drug possession and use, according to the Student Handbook. The following, is an example of illegal activity and the applicable sanction: Drugs: -There are both federal and state laws that proscribe the possession, use and distribution of illegal drugs. The sanctions for offending these laws consist in many cases of mandatory imprisonment, coupled with substantial fines. The sanctions for any given offense vary widely, depending on the nature of the offense, the type of drug involved and the quantity of the drug involved. Also, under federal law, anyone who is at least 18 years old and distributes drugs to anyone under 21 will be imprisoned and/or fined up to twice what is more DRUGS on 8

: ~ ::: ] Free zone for drugs? Searchingforsatisfaction
~-
Students are not simply average citizens. The institution.al values and behavior we are committed to exemplify are beyond societal standards. When each student signs the code of conduct, they pledge themselves as individuals in respecting these standards and the rights of others. We are expected to regulate ourselves and our own lifestyles. This commitment, however, should be an active process. It means that students and administration must take the initiative in establishing a respectful, safe, learning environment. _More often tl\an not, however, the campus tends to react to problematic situations rather than preventing them. The Delaware Attorney General's new proposal on drug policies warrants expulsion for a first-time drug offense. It works on the same deterrant premise as the death penalty. The policy takes a step to head off drug use, before it starts. While the solution may not work here at Cabrini, the idea of intervention before a problem begins is the important lesson. While education and enforcement are necessary steps in solving the drug problem, they only address the results of drug abuse. To be effective, they must be done with consistency, energy and commitment in conjunction with initiatives designed to keep drugs off our campus in the first place. Each individual must be willing to stand behind the signature he/she placed on the code of conduct. When we don't live up to those objectives, we must be willing to take responsibility for our actions. We must convert our campus from a free zone for crime and substance abuse, to a safe, educational environment for all.
An illusionOfpeace The kite is an ancient craft, a symbol of the launching of dreams and reaching new heights and challenges. It is freedom, but grounded on the earth by a thin string, always ready to pull it back to reality. Last Sunday's "One sky, one world'' project created a lofty and inspirational atmosphere. There as an a emoon sky full of flying kites in celebration of peace. A beautiful day, smiling children, community support, good fun, and a cause to justify it all--a public relations coup. In these terms·, "One sky, one world" was a success. It didn't do any harm for the clubs that used the day to further their financial situations, either. Certainly sending a powerful message does not always have to be dramatic or catastrophic. It's perfectly fine to have a good time while trying to get s~mething accomplished or create an awareness. The "I have a dream,·, march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is not only remembered for its speeches and ideas, but for the singing, laughing, and friendships shared. A day set aside for peace is one to be enjoyed, but we must be careful not to exploit it. Especially while we live in a country on the brink of war, we must recognize that peace is something we must be living testaments of daily.

kelly reed features editor We spend our entire lives wishing we were older, never appreciating where we are, but where we hope to be in the future. As I was growing up there were milestones that marked my growing up and becoming an adult. When I was five, I went off to kindergarten with my Dressy Betsy doll in tow, ready for all the challenges of ABC's and fingerpainting. While five, I counted the days until I would be six and a first grader where I would be able to carry a school bag and my very own Barbie lunch box. In grade school, where I had the same teacher for all five subjects, I wanted to get to middle school where the kids were in a different room for each class, and I would at long last be able to play double-dutch at recess. Not once did it occur to me in those years to enjoy just the simple everyday routine of being a child. I never appreciated all the hours I spent watching Ernie, Bert, Grover and the rest of the "Sesame Street" gang, or the Saturday mornings with "Scoobie Doo" where Thelma, Shaggy, Daphne, and Fred always wore the same clothes in every episode. Looking back, now I can smile and marvel at how easily Icouldentertainmyselffor hours at a time with even the simplest things. Today I don't have the time or the patience to entertain myself. I am a child of the '80s. I need to be entertained, and if I'm not, then I simply change the channel or tune it out. When I turned thirteen I thought I had finally made it. I was at long last a teenager. Bring on puberty and adolescence; I was ready for any of the challenges that they had to offer me. My teenage years centered around experimentaion with make-up, so that I could look older and more mature. What it really did was make me look like I was impersonating Bozo the Clown. The next major influence was the boys. That first real kiss when I was sixteen, made me feel mature and seductive. What it really was, though, was awkward, embarassing and really very nice. Sixteen also brought with it freedom. I had my permit to drive in my hot little hand and I was too cool. I would drive to the comer mailbox just so I could get in the car and turn the radio up and cruise around. High school was a time of preparation for college. The four years were spent in college-prep courses, getting the "right" number of activities, and taking pre-tests for the PSAT, thePSAT's and finally the SAT's twice. Why? Because I wasn't thinking how quickly those four years were going to go by. I was too busy trying to be the "ideal" college type, too busy fighting off all the other students in the college rat race who might steal my spot at Cabrini. In truth those years are a blur to me. I really don't have any long term sentimental feelings about high school because I was too busy trying to get out, to notice it when I was there.
At eighteen I was a legal adult in the eyes of the law. I could vote, drive a car, get married and yet I still was waiting. Waiting for something that felt like I had arrived into adulthood. I am going tobetwenty-oneandlam still waiting and looking into the future to satisfy my ideas of success and happiness. I am going to graduate next year and I know I still will not be able to appreciate the four years I have had at Cabrini. I will be looking off into the future thinking of the job, marriage, and family that I want to have one day.
I am a child of the '80s. I need to be entertained, and if I'm not, then I simply change the channel or tune it out. I amconvinced that no matter what age I am at I will never be totally happy or satisfied with where I am and what I have accomplished. As people we never seem to be able to appreciate what we have had until we no longer have it. We spend our entire lives in search of some elusive and intangible idea of acute and never ending happiness and success, instead of enjoying what we have accomplished in the present: Ralph Waldo Emerson has a quote which I think best sums up the way in which we should try and live our lives, "Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses which paint the world their own hue, and each shows only what is in focus.'' That quote says a lot about why we should try and Iive today as if it were our last, and fill it with as much joy, tears and laughter as we can, instead of always looking out into what tomorrow will bring.

John Lennon legendary, but no hero A short while ago, a date passed on the calendar which probably went unnoticed. On Oct. 9, John Lennon would have celebrated his 50th birthday and, ten years after his life was violently taken, perhaps it is time to take a look at the Beatle's founder in an honest light- with no halo or devil's tale. John ·Lennon was neither saint nor devil. Before his death, the argument went that he had gone insane after his marriage to Yoko Ono, who was largely considered reponsible for disbanding the Fab Four. Try as he might, Lennon was never quite able to shake the stigma he had acquired of having his best years behind him. He was constantly telling anyone who would listen that he didn't miss theBeatles and that his current work, whatever it was, gave him more satisfaction and pride. By 1980,Lennonhad been semiretired from music for five years, a combination of bum-out and soul searching, during which he raised his only child with Yoko, Sean Lennon. Whispers abounded in the music industry: What happened to John Lennon? Then in the summer of 1980, Lennon announced he was returning to the music charts with an album in the fall.
bill firman As we all know now, Lennou released "Double Fantasy" in November and two weeks later, on Dec. 8, Lennon was murdered. In the last ten years there have been two schools on the former Beatie: one school has sought beatification while the other has sought to portray him as Lucifer. Both schools have become millionaires writing about John Lennon, but I thinkboth of them missedthe point. Lennon was, indeed, a unique individual and I highly doubt we will ever see another like him in our lifetime. He was a rock star, and a prophet; a pacifist with a vile temper;a humanist, but also a multimillionaire who hardly decried materialism. But one thing that John Lennon was not was a phony. He told us as much of the truth as he saw and often ended up getting crucified for telling us. When Lennon was involved in a scandalous affair with Yoko Ono, and finally married her, he knew that their honeymoon would
Respect due resident life To the editor: We, the members of the staff human resources council would like to take this opportunity to articulate our support of Cathy Caulfield and the work the resident life staff is doing this year. Like resident life, a large portion of the task of the staff of human resources council (SHRC) is to work towards developing programs in an atmosphere that is positive and affinning to members of
the CabriniCollege community. While many people might believe this should be a relatively easy task to achieve in a "Christian community," it is much easier said than done. Resistance often comes from people who are limited in their scope; who cannot see beyond their own immediate circumstance; who have difficulty seeing the "whole" picture and are fearful of change that they cannot have control over. It also comes when people fail to understand that we can give support to something that is new without being disloyal to that which was before. The resident life staff is virtually all new this year. They came in with an agenda much the same as SHRC's; to improve the quality of life experiences for their constituency and to build an environment that fosters accountability, consideration and mutual respect... one that is in keeping with the mission of Cabrini. It is a slow learning process for everyone involved.

Making "cents" of campaign S's To the editor: I am writing to express my dismay with the inaccuracies found in the comprehensive campaign article in the previous issue. Let me please set the record straight with regard to campaign financials, objectives and timeline. The college's campaign is comprehensive in nature, meaning that all forms of support to the college, i.e. annual fund, government and foundation grants, not contributed specifically because the college is in a fundraising campaign, will be credited towards the seven million dollar goal. It is true thattodatewehaveraised$3.3 million dollars. Of that $3.3, $1.6 million has been raised in new pledges and gifts. While it is true that the current priority is to raise unrestricted dollars to fund the Grace Hall project, the reader is led to believe that this component alone will end in l 995. December 1995 will mark the close of the pledge period for all objectives of the campaign. These goals include faculty /staff
Lennon rock star. The latter distinction makes him unique among superstars. Perhaps that is why so many people can associate with John Lennon, he was human. Looking back on the last ten years, I often wonder what Lennon would have to say on such issues as AIDS, the Reagan Years, and even on Paul McCartney's renaissance. Thanks to the NRA, however, I'll never know. I think it is important to celebrate John Lennon's life, because in his 40 years, he did more living
development, library enhancements, instructional equipment, scholarships and endowment. It is important that your readers be properly informed.

Seilers left out of the limelight To the editor: The kitchen staff of Cabrini College agrees that the success of Parents Weekend was not a singular effort. It was a team effort from all facets of the college community. We feel we added some special touches to the environment to take away the "everyday" feel from the campus. Many worked incredibly long hours and days to make Parents and Alumni Weekend one to remember. We often hear the bad, but rarely hear the good. When we hear the good, it makes it all seem worthwhile. In reading the letter to the editors in the last issue of the Loquitur, it was a disappointment that our contributions were overlooked. We just wantto feel more a part of the Cabrini community.
Sincerely, The Seilers Staff
than most. What he contributed to his world was his talent, his stories, and himself. In an age of Michael Jackson facelifts and George Michael ego trips, one increasingly appreciates the raw honesty that John Lennon gave to us. John Lennon is not a hero.There are no more heroes, they are all dead. Lennon, however, may be someone to admire. With all of his faults, alcohol, misogynist, drugs, etc... he also gave us a guideline of peace, love and appreciation of life. It is in his death that we can see how precious life is and how, not all you need is love, but rather, all you have is love in the end. Why do such pacifists like Ghandi, Martin Luther King and John Lennon meet such violent ends? Perhaps it's because we are not ready for their message, as we fear the unknown. Perhaps it is because they put themselves in vulnerable positions. Or, just perhaps, it's because there are no more heroes and when we try to make one, we destroy it. I have no answer. I have no desire to cannonize John Lennon. The only message I want to leave with you is that the 50th anniversary of the birth of one remarkable man has passed. And I think the world is a far better place for having ~own him.
Speaking out from silence To the editor: I was sitting in the cafeteria the other day, and as usual, people were complaining left and right. •'The portions are too small,'' they sai :, or they just complained about the quality of food in general. I sat there and just listened, and then I heard somone say, "Well, why don't you ten someone about it.'' And, as usual, the complainers said no, because "nothing will be done about it anyway.'' Communications; as defined by Webster's Dicitionary, is the "act of conveying.'' To act, means not only to lalk, but to exert energy. It's not only a field of study, it's a way of life! People must learn to take action for their thoughts; no one is a mind reader. If you want something done, stand up and speak your mind. If that doesn't work, can a meeting, circulate a petition, or even write an article to the newspaper. If there is something that has to be said, say it. Don't let communication die. Whether it be in. a relationship, at work, in a family, or here at Cabrini, what you have to say counts. After all, isn't silence one of the loneliest feelings in the world?

more MOVIE from 1 danger in it." Many students prefer the original context as well. Junior Chrisy Roach was a regular at last year's movie nights. Roach said, "If discussions are held, I won't go. This negates the purpose of movie night as a study break.'' Sophomores Juliann Dunn and Karen Kerchusky and junior Julie McKee were the attendants of the first movie night on Sept. 27. They did not agree with the educational format. Dunn said, "This is silly. In the content of every movie, there i§ something educational. There is no reason to rehash it." Kerchusky said, "Because of lecturing, voluntary discussions may lead to no one going." McKee said, "We are intelligent enough to find facts on our own. We don't need them pointed out." ''This is a hassle for students in SGA,'' said Eflen Battersby, junior. Dean of Students, Robert Bonfiglio, has intended to address the copyright issue since he began working at Cabrini. "The timing was right with a new director,·' Bonfiglio said. "I want to make SGA aware of laws, follow them and still have a good time at movie night,'' Bonfiglio said. According to Bonfiglio, adding the movie
menu and discussion is consistent to the intention of attending Cabrini, to learn. Marks-Gold wants to do the right thing and at the same time provide relaxation. "Cocurricular activities should be educational and fun." ''This is also a morality issue,'' said Marks-Gold, "By going outside of the educational confines, Cabrini is breaking the law." Another option offered to institutions is purchasing a license from the Motion Picture Association of America. ''This license costs over a thousand dollars." said Marks-Gold. After the license is purchased, movie companies send out catalogs with movies the institution can show. This can be quite costly. Films ranged in price from $75-$250, depending on the release date. A practicing attorney, Dr. 1'.JennisBlack, vice provost and Dean of Students at State University of New York at Buffalo said, ''The MPAA could pick a college and make an example out of them.'' According to Black the MPAA has issued rwo cease and desist (written warnings) to two colleges. Legal action has been taken against a prison and a nursing home. The SGA board will make final decision on this issue.

don't want to eat a huge meal before you go to sleep, but you also don't want to be starved,'' Fitzgerald said. Fitzgerald said that reading is helpful to fall asleep, but watching television is not good because one may become interested in what they are watching. People should not exercise right before going to sleep because your body needs a period to cool down. Smoking is also bad before going to sleep because it is a stimulant. Depending on how much people smoke, it could keep a person awake. Everyone must sleep. However, there are people who have problems sleeping. These problems are called sleep disorders. Jeff Foley, a senior, suffers from a disorder called hypersomnia sleep apnea syndrome. ''During sleep these patients will stop breathing for periods of IO to 180 sec (average approximately 35 sec). These episodes of apnea are followed by brief arousals during which time the patients will breathe with a loud snoring pattern. This cycle may continue for hundreds of times during sleep without the patient being aware of it,'' said a book on sleep disorders received from Joan Parker, a registered EEG technician at Bryn Mawr Hospital's Sleep Disorders Center. ''Ever since I was a child I would have a problem that when I went to sleep I wouldn't breathe. When I would wake up gasping for air, I'd fall back to sleep withou1 even realizing I was doing it. It caused snoring and a basic general nuisance," Foley said. Foley went to the University of Pennsylvania's HospitalSleep Disorders Center where he under went an electroencephalogram (EEG) to find out when these periods of breathe retention occured.

Giv.ingthe giftof life:organrecipients by Joe Martini The gift of life is only given to most of us once. Being an organ donor may allow you to give this gift to someone in need of an organ transplant. If one of your organs is not functioning properly and you need a new one, they're not all that easy to come by. This is one of the reasons why people donate their organs. Tony Anello, brother of Sr. Bernadette Anello, M.S.C., had a kidney transplantthree and one-half years ago. He was suffering from N-stage renal failure, was put on kidney dialysis, and put on a waiting list to receive a kidney transplant. Tony was very excited when he got the call that doctors had a donor who matched his blood type. "His family was ecstatic," Anello said. Tony received the transplant at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minnesota. Even though there was a risk of contracting the CMV virus, he felt good for the first month. ''It was like a new lease on life for him," Anello said. Unfortunately, the new kidney only lasted one month. Tony Anello was then forced to go back to dialysis. "There's no guarantee," Anello said. Her brother will not receive another transplant anytime soon. By his own decision, he will spend time with his children. Dialysis can work for him and she said he is making the best of it. "Tony's biggest support is a very loving wife who is also his best friend, and his two teen-age children," Anello said.
Russell Hurst, brother of Andrena Leahey, has had two liver transplants. The first was in March 1990 and the second in September 1990. Both transplants were performed at Presbyterian University Hospital of Pittsburgh, which does only organ transplants, and does 12 to 16 liver transplants per week. Russell developed liver cancer four years ago and had 80% of his liver removed, along with a malignant tumor. Doctors would only do a transplant if it was totally necessary, and he was put on a waiting list.
'It will be difficult, emotionally and mentally for him to recover, but having people who love him and who will support him will pull him through. Russell, to our family, is a miracle. We are truly blessed.' - Andrena Leahey In March 1990, Russell received a liver from a donor who was killed in a car accident. The transplant took 24 hours to perform. His body accepted the liver, but complications with collapsing bile ducts, caused his body to reject the Iiver after seven weeks. He then needed to find another donor, and was placed back on the waiting list. In May 1990, Russell was placed in the intensive care unit because the bile in his body was causing near fatal infections. Doctors said he would not live much longer. He survived, however, and was removed from life support in August, 1990. Russell returned home, but his condition

worsened. He was in desperate need of another liver. Last month, another donor was found. A 19-year-old male from Florida, who died as a result of a brain hemorrhage, had a matching blood type. The second transplant took 15 an one-half hours to perform, less than the first. Russell's doctors were confident that this transplant would be successful. Two weeks after the transplant, Russell is doing well, and he and his family are hoping that he will come home soon. "It will be difficult. emotionally and

mentally for him to recover," Leahey said, ''but having people who love him and who will support him will pull him through. Russell, to our family, is a miracle. We are truly blessed." Being an organ donor does not necessarily mean that the donor has to give up one oftheirorgans while they're still alive. In fact, most donors do not give up the organ or organs until they die. Bud Mellon, communications center supervisor and organ donor said, "If I go, why not let them take what usable body parts they can to save someone else." Organs are donated, "most frequently because people want to be able to have a part of them live on,'• Director of Health Services Susan Fitzgerald said. Potential organ donors are those individuals who die as a result of severe brain injury. Uniform Determination of Death laws clearly define brain death as "the irreversible cessation of the functioning of the entire brain, including the brain stem." Because the brain and the brain stem are ultimately responsible for all body functions, the death of this tissue equals the death of the individual. If an individual has demonstrated any evidence of brain function, then they are not considered a candidate for organ and tissue donation. Therefore, there can never be a conflict between saving a donor's life and recovering their organs. Organ recovery takes place only after every measure has been taken to save the life of the patient. Contrary to popular belief, there are very few qualifications needed to become a potential organ donor. The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, which is law in all 50 states, makes it possible for anyone who is 18 years of age or more and of sound mind to legally donate their organs upon death by filling out a Uniform Donor Card. The c~rd must be signed in the presence of two witnesses and carried with you at all times. Usually, age is not a factor for potential donors. However, organ transplants are most successful when the donor is no more than 45 years of age. The final determination as to whether or not specific organs can be recovered for the purposes of transplantation is based primarily on the overall physiological condition of the individual at the time of death. To ensure that the potential donor organs remain viable, despite the fact that death is certain and legally de~lared, it is essential that a heartbeat be maintained. All organ donors, therefore, must be placed on a respirator or ventilator to provide an
artificial means of oxygenation. Without oxygen, tissue damage will occur within a few minutes, eliminating the possibility of organ donation. Human kidneys are the most desperately needed organs for transplantation today. The function of the kidneys is to eliminate many of the body's waste products. If a person• s kidney or kidneys fail, dialysis can provide an acceptable alternative to death. However, kidney transplantation offers a greater degree of physiological stability, and a marked increase in the patient• s life expectancy. Kidney transplants have the highest rate of success. There is approximately a 90 percent success rate one year after a kidney transplant. There are 14,000 patients who actively await kidney transplantation in this country. A kidney donated for transplant can be maintained outside the body for as long as 48 hours before transplantation takes place. A transplanted kidney can last for many years, and in some instances, for the rest of th~ recipient's life, if successful. The human heart is also widely needed for transplantation. When a person suffers from heart problems, medications can be given or corrective surgery can be performed to correct the problem. When these methods fail, a transplant can save the patient's life. There is approximately an 85 percent success rate after one year of having a transplanted heart. There are about 1200 patients awaiting a heart transplant nationally. A transplanted heart will often last for many years, if successful. The biggest problem with heart donors and recipients is that a donated heart can only be kept alive outside the body for four hours. Although not as common as kidney or heart transplants, lung and liver transplants can also be performed. These transplants can be performed with a fairly sufficient rate of success. As with all transplants, the biggest problem is finding donors. An acute shortage of organ donors is preventing the transplantations that could benefit many people. This shortage can be eliminated by simply making arrangements to donate vital organs after death. "I don't think organ donation is as widespread as it should be," Leahey said. Anyone can become a donor by filling out a donor card, or by writing your intention of donation into your will. However, a donor card should be carried with you at all times because of the limited time involved in recovery of vital organs. People who are still alive can also donate organs or tissue for transplantation, if they wish to do so. There are mothers who will donate organs or parts of organs for their children. Brothers or sisters are also likely candidates for organ or tissue donations because the transplant is more likely to be successful if the tissue type matches. Most of the students around campus did not even know about the organ donor program. They also said that they would be willing to fill out a donor card if they were given the chance. A donor card can be obtained at the Health Services office. "I think that it is important for everyone to know how important (organ) transplants are,•• Anello said.

Spirit of world peace soars high at Cabrini by Alexa Napoleon Sunday afternoon, the 14th of October, the air over the athletic field was filled with kites. These kites represented those flown all over the world to show support for world peace. The theme ofthedaywas "One sky, one world." Cabrini students and people from the community came together in the athletic field to share their love of peace for the world and as a family. The purpose of this day was to unite people around the world who strive to bring an awareness of peace to the world. It also brought a sense offamily to the individuals participating. Benefits were gained not only by those who took part in the day from the campus and community, but also to those who made kite day possible. At Cabrini, kite day came about after Karen Berlant saw a promotion for ''One sky, one world" in "Kitelines" magazine. Berlant contacted the headquarters in Denver, Colo. That was the beginning of the kite day project which led to Sunday's event. Jennifer Morrison was involved in organizing the peace day project because of her work-study job in the public relations office and her involvement in various activities on campus. In addition to the setup of the athletic field, Morrison helped people fly their kites and enjoyed the day. Felicia Faclcone also assisted in the planning and the execution of" One sky, one world." On Sunday, Falcone collected signatures at the public relations table, gave flying lessons, and interacted with the participants. Kite day at Cabrini College was successl)l due to the support of Klassy Kites in ing of Prissia and Ed Mirzoeff. Mirzoeff, ,wner of Klassy Kites, had learned about kite day from Jane Ambrose, owner of Skyskraper Kites in Colorado. Mirzoeff was enthusiastic when Berlant asked if Klassy Kites would be interested in sponsoring Cabrini's kite day. Mirzoeff's financial contribution was the main funding for the peace day kites. Other support was donated by Klassy Kites on the day of the event. Support from the clubs on campus included Kappa Sigma Omega sale of Cabrini squeeze bottles, the Student Government Association's (SGA) candy and beverages sale, the Billiards Club's raffle and the Social Work Club sale of daisies and
chrysanthemums. In addition to flying kites, '60s and New Age music was played, and the Social Work Club painted faces. A letter for the troops in Saudi Arabia was also brought out to be signed. Kath Allen flew a kite, and she also en-
one had a good time and thought that it was great that people could have a good time and were spreading peace at Cabrini. Michele Adelman said that it was important for her to show her concern for world peace. Those who participated in the event were bonding and having an enjoyable after-
noon. ''No matter how many strangers were there they all there as one family, for one world." On Sunday the enthusiasm for "One sky, one world" was matched by the concern of the participants for world peace. "peace is in your heart" Morrison said.

Although she felt that the campus was not as involved as it could have been, she pointed out that this event brought the community to Cabrini. Julie McKee said that she felt like a kid when she flew her kite, and agreed with most of the other participants that flying a kite is an excellent stressbreaker. At the same time, McKee realized the significance of the event. "Weneedto take thetime tounitewitheach other and strive for a better world and for peace." Mary Shimkus had a good feeling listening to the music. She thought that "We Are The World'' and similar songs expressed the mood of the day. Morrison said that every-

The handbook also states that Pennsylvania has la,_ws prohibiting the use, possession and distribution of drugs that are similarly strict. In addition to imposing fines and/ or terms of imprisonment for violations of its drug laws, Pennsylvania recently enacted a forfeiture stature. Under this statue, when the state arrests someone for violating its laws concerning the use, possession or distribution of drugs, the state wilJ seize, and that person will forfeit any of his property that was used to accomplish the violation of PA' s anti-drug laws--including the automobil~. At Cabrini, the College Health Educator provides intake assessment, short-tenn counseling, in-patient referrals and after care treatments. This treatment is available to all members of the Cabrini community. In-patient referrals are typically made to the Bry.n Mawr Hospital Abuse Unit. A local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous also meets on campus on a weekly basis. Meetings are open to the general public as well as members of the college community. The health educator and other members of the counseling staff coordinate a wide range of programs in the area of drug and alcohol addiction. Disciplinary proceedings for students involved in alledged violation of the College alcohol and drug policies will be iniated upon a receipt of the violation. Possible sanctions for drugs include: .,,Sale or manufacture of'drugs: minimumsuspension maximum-expulsion Possession or use of drugs: mimimumprobation maximum-expulsion Possession of drug paraphernalia: mini-

mum-probation mimimum-suspension With all of this in mind, a planning group charged with creating a national higher education network for exchanging information about drug and alcohol abuse program issued a list of 22 standards that institutional members will be expected to accept. The standards for the Network of Colleges and Universities Committed to the Elimination of Drug and Alcohol Abuse stated that each member should: -Articulate an institutional commitment to provide for the education and development of students, faculty members, and staff members regarding alcohol and drug abuse. -Detennine the extent of drug an.dalcohol abuse on its campus. -Encourage faculty members to include drug and alcohol education in the curriculum, where appropriate. -Promote and support alcohol-free activities. -Provide a system of intervention and referral services for students, faculty members, and staff members. -Consistently enforce alcohol and other drug policies. "Membership in the network, which is a Department of Education project, will be voluntary," VonnieL. Veltri, senior associate in the department• s office of educational research, said. Universities that do not join wiU not be penalized, she said. While courts have held that institutions are not liable for the actions of adult students, colleges and universities do have "a duty to care'' about alcohol and drug use on their campuses, Hammond said The membership standards, Edward D. Hammond, president of Fort Hays University, said, show institutions how they can
carry out that duty. In· addition, he said "The standards were created because there is a moral motivation in higher education to stand for what is right." Among the members is Cabrini College. Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students, said that "We have a good educational program injunction with health services and we take it very seriously. The network gives us

Cooperativeeducationdivisionfindsjobs, showsresults Editor'snote: This is a re-printof a story which was begun in the previousissueof Loquitur,but due to an editing error, was not completed. We apologize for any inconveniencethis may have caused. by John Gay The office of Cooperative Education began its fourth year of operation this fall, placing 47 students in paid career-related experiences. Cooperative education (co-op) is available to alJ students who have completed 45 credits and have earned at least 15 of them at Cabrini. The students must also be in good academic standing with a grade point average of at least 2.0. James Loftus, director of cooperative education, sees the program as a "win-win situation for the college. We're making contacts with employers. We're giving students work experience. They're acquiring credits and making money on the job, so it's a good avenue for selling the college to prospective students,'' Loftus said. The program is open to all majors, with students from 15 out of 16 departments being placed in jobs last year, the lone exception being foreign language majors. Loftus cited the small number of l!lajors in this field as the reason. ''The two major fields of study are business and English/ communications," Loftus said. Linda Channing and Nancy Hutchison are the employment coordinators for the program. "We try to actively recruit positions for majors we're dealing with, as well as recruiting students for the program," Channing said. Channing and Hutchison do this by talking in classrooms, mailing letters to ·students, and having open houses on campus. The jobs are found in a variety of ways,
according to Channing. "For the most part whatwedoisoverthephone, but we also use business journals," Channing said. "A lot of our jobs also come to us as referrals from other companies that have had our co-op students and have spoken hig~ly of them. We've also had help from alumni," Channing said, noting that four fall job listings were from alumni. Jennifer Morrison, a junior English/ communications major, worked a co-op over the summer in the promotion department at Resorts International in Atlantic City. The position included working on the company newsletter as well as a major promotion. Morrison found the job herself and adapted it into a co-op, earning three credits and also getting paid.Morrison believes the experience will defmitely help her future. "It was a great experience. I met a lot of influential people,'' Morrison said. Felicia Falcone, a senior English/communications major, is now onhersecondcoop, working in Cabrini's public relations department. Falcone is currently working on a project called "One Sky, One World," an international kite festival for peace.Over

the summer, Falcone worked a co-op as a client development assistant at a Philadelphia ad agency, writing slogans and doing design work. "I felt like I was not an intern. I actually felt like I was a real part of it," Falcone said. Falcone saw the option of having a co-op as an attraction of Cabrini. "I knew that taking a co-op would give me an edge over the student who graduates and has never had a co-op experience," Falcone said. "They may have worked harder, but I know people, have made contacts. You learn a lot about the business. You learn how to be professional and that's the competitive edge." Falcone worked 12 weeks and earned six credits as well as $1,000. One hundred ninety-seven students worked co-op jobs last year and the program has been growing every year, according to Loftus. Student earnings were over $300,000, with 465 credit hours earned. "I think one reason we don't see more students is maybe because they are a little scared or intimidated to make the first step into the corporate world,'' Channing said. "You have to go out on interviews and might
not get hired." Loftus cited that 95 percent of the students do get hired and that there are three to four jobs for every student. Channing also points out the office is willing to inquire about jobs that are not listed. The coordinators will even call other areas of the country to find jobs for students. Co-op's can also be taken for non-credit though the bulk of the students do take coops for credit, according to Loftus. Tuition is the same as for any other course. The office of cooperative education received a five-year grant in 1987 from the United States Department of Education. It is a title eight grant falling under the Higher Education Act of 1965. Under the grant, the government matches funds in an ascending manner. "The college takes over after the five years, meaning every year the college takes more of the grant over," Loftus said. Cabrini received $92,030 from the grant this year, while putting out $61,000 themselves to finance the program. "Next year the college will give 70 percent and the government will pay 30 percent," Loftus said.

Reflections on baseball as more·than a game opinion by Bob Healey
...
"The people will find they have reserve seats somewhere on one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game. And it will be as if they dipped themselves in in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they will have to brush them away from their face. The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball is the mark of time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us that all was once good, and can be again." (Terrance Mann [James Earl Jones) "Field of Dreams")
It happens every year around this time. The evening air turns briskly cool, leaves on the trees turn a golden brown and we awaken to cars with dew on their windshields. And tl)e baseball season that matured slowly will culminate with the most pulchritudinous annual event: The World Series. There is a certain kind of innate magic about the World Series. It is the kind of game that breaks your heart one day and can raise your spirits the next. It is a game that allows you to dream. It is every boy's dream to brush the dirt in the batter's box with his cleats, to adjust his helmet, strictly out of habit and to rhythmicly
REAL PIZZA
bend his knees as he stares down the pitcher. Then to step out of the box to break the pitcher's concentration. To step back in and repeat the process. It is every boy's dream to focus in on the ball as it leaves the pitcher's hand and travels towards the plate. To tighten his grip on the bat as he waits anxiously yet patiently for its arrival. And then to swing, swing an all-mighty swing, and feel the tingle in his arms as the bat connects with the leather sphere. It is every boy's dream to watch the ball travel so far it should have a stewardess and an in-flight movie. To see the crowd of 60,000 rise simultaneously in glee and exultation as the balldisappearintoaskysoblue. To listentothecrowd cheer,in perfect unison, respondinglikePavloviandogs,yet sounding like a symphony orchestra. To circle the bases slowly, basking in the glory of his accomplishment. To round third and receive a congratulatory smack from the coach. To land on home plate with both feet and be swarmed by exuberant teammates. It is every boy's dream to experience a little bit of this magic. As we watch this year's World Series we realize it is more than a game. It is an omnipotent, miraculous, religious excursion from everyday life .. It is where time stands still and heroes loom large. Baseball is a game that allows kids to dream of being grown, a game that allows adults to rediscover their youth. It is a game where keys to the past open doors to the future. Baseball base been the one constant through the years. When everything else was a variable, baseball was a constant. It was ground in stone, built from bedrock up. It was reinforced with steel and permanently fixed in American life. It was built to survive earthquakes. It was built to be eternal. I live for the smell of popcorn and beer when I arrive at the park early. The sound of gloves popping perpetually
when the players warm up. As I have grown I have come to realize what baseball does for us. It allows us to dream. To leave our little corner of the world and enter one vast and boundless. A boy must do three things during his peregrination to manhood. Along with receiving stitches and breaking an arm he must dream about baseball. Lay awake on sleepless nights and just dream. He must cheer on a diving catch, and boo on a strikeout. He must cry cheerfully when Mike Schmidt retires and he must cry tearfully when Dave Dravecky falls from the mound with a broken arm that has a malignant cancer tumor. He must love the game more than anything else. He must flip cards at lunch in the school yard. And he must dream that one day he too may be on that field. He must let the magic in his blood permeate through his skin and bond in perfect unision with the aura of the game. He must feel the cool air during a pennant drive. He must smell the fresh cut grass as he makes a diving catch. He must smell the pulp of a now former tree that gave of itself for the game. He must dream. Even the word baseball has a vibrent echo about it. Mike Schmidt best summed it up when he said, '' For those of you who understand no explanation is necessary, for those of you who don't no explanation will suffice." "We rely on itto buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of the sunshine and high skies alive." (A. Bartlett Giamatti). Although time goes by like it always does baseball remains. From Joe Jackson to Pete Rose. From John McGraw to Tony LaRussa. The names have changed yet baseball remains. As we watch this year's world series, let us allow it to buffer the passage of time. Let us remember the power of dreams and let us remember that all was once good; and can be again.

"I do not have PRISMbecause it's not accessible to me in Woodcrest, so I have to watch all the away games on channel 57,'' she said. Senior Jeff Hines watches a variety of sports on television, such as college and professional football and basketball, in addition to baseball and sometimes wrestling. Some of his favorite professional teams to watch are the Eagles, New York Giants, Sixers, and the Oakland A's; Notre Dame is his favorite college team.
He watches sports four or five times a week for entertainment and "I like to watch competitioQ among fellow athletes,'' he said. Junior roommates Karen Boyle and Angela DiJosephboth enjoy watching sports, and many times watch them together. Boyle watches football, ice hockey, and tennis because, "I like the action. These sports are aren't boring because they are physical and exciting~ you can really get into them," she said. DiJoseph watches football and ice hockey, too, in addition to horse racing. But tennis

is her favorite sport to watch. "I get into it because I play myself," DiJoseph said. "My ultimate fantasy is to play in the U.S. Open. I watch every bit of the U.S. Open now." Boyle and DiJoseph also watch Monday Night Football every week, getting together with friends and having a good time. "When you're a die-hard sports fan, you'll watch whatever is on because you can always learn something, no matter who the teams are," junior Mark Gudas said. He watches everything from baseball, football and basketball to billiards and anything else that comes on television, having his set tuned to ESPN or the Sports Channel every night during the summer. What does Gudas do while soaking in ~l the plays? "I eat, yell atthe TV, and try to analyze what will happen before the announcer says it," Gudas said. "It helps me practice what I'll hopefully be doing when I graduate and this allows me to compare my knowledge with that of the announcers.''

Sophomore, Michael "Pickle" Connor contributed to Cabrini's first-ever soccer victory over Shenandoah College 2-1 on Saturday, Oct. 13.
by Dawn Timbario Pride shone in the eyes of Cabrini's soccer coach, Duncan Hubley, as the Cavaliers soared to a 3-0 victory over Eastern College on Oct.
9. Hubley thought the team had played a good game, aided by Mike Connor, Hubley's choice for athlete of the week. Mike "Pickle" Connor, sophomore, is the sweeper for the team. In this position, it is important to possess agility and high jumping skills that puts him heads above the other athletes. Connor hasbeen playingsoccer since he was six years old. He has always been interested in the sport and considers himself very lucky to have had the complete support from his parents. Jackie "Happie" Connor, sophomore, is Mike's twin sister and said both she and her parents have never missed a single game. Connor also considered attending Muhlenberg University and Moravian College before talking with coach John Dzik, and making Cabrini his final choice. Connor played soccer for his high school, St. Augustine Prep, in Richland, NJ. • "I feel that nobody can beat me when I have the ball," Connor said. A loss to the team, Connor said, is like a personal blow to himself. "Speed, quickness, and tenacity," Hubley said, are just a few of Connor's strengths. He is also a good team player and contributes to the combined effort of the team. Connor said the team's main strengths lie both in the defense as well as the offensive line. "Our weakness is our midfield," Connor said, and believes there is more work to be done in this area. Connor considers his own personal strengths to be his. speed and
ability to jump for the ball. •Tm really proud of him," Happie said. "It has always been my brother's dream to play a college sport.'' Connor is a good team player and he has a good rapport with the other members on the field, according to Hubley. He finds support from his fellow teammates and feels comfortable turning to them for help. Academically and socially, Connor said there is nothing threatening to come between himself and the sport. He is confident that he can handle stress both on and off the field. Happie said Connor has always looked to her for support because they are extremely close. ''He is my best friend,'' Happie said. Co-captain Bill DiRita, junior, said Connor adds ability to the backfield. "He is an all-around player who can cover any position.'' Connor said his future plans are up in the air right now. Although he is majoring in business administration, he is unsure of his career goals at this stage of his life. One aspect of the future that Connor is certain about is his desire to include soccer in his life after graduation. Hubley said Connor's only weakness is his lack of experience on the team. Yet, as a sophomore, Connor has the time to improve. '' As a sophomore he shows plenty of leadership to the team,'' DiRita said. The campus can also look forward to seeing Connor on the courts, instead of the soccer field, when basketball season gets under way.

After a stressful day of classes, meetings and other college activities, many Cabrini students look for something enjoyable todo for relaxation. Some read or listen to music. Others, however, take their frustrations out on the television, screaming at the Eagles, Sixers and Phillies. These people are avid TV sports viewers. They watch a wide range of sports. They love the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. They scream, rant and rave as if they were coaches. They are committed fans of the sports they watch. For many reasons, ranging from entertainment to team loyalty to being athletes themselves, watching sports on television seems to be a popular Cabrini pastime. It can also be very social. Juniors Charlie Tucci and Joe Orsati watch many professional and college football games together, in addition to professional golf tournaments such as the U.S. Open. "The coverage on TV is better," Tucci said. "If you miss something, there is
always a replay, but if you're at the game, you just miss it completely." He also enjoys having more facts included in the course of a television game. Tucci and Orsati agreed that when they watch sports on television, they generally scream and shout and annoy their neighbors. They are not alone. Freshmen roommates Tara Rodman,

She watches every game she can during its season. •'I like to watch guys who are a little older than I am participating in a sport I can comprehend and see them excel at it,'' Beck said.
"When you're a die-hard sports fan, you'll watch whatever is on because you can always learn something, no matter who the teams are." - junior Mark Gudas Trish Daley and Danielle Castiliga scream advice at the New York Mets during every game they watch, which, according to Rodman, is quite often. "Living with Danielle we must watch at least once a day," Rodman said. "Seriously, I watch whenever I get time to watch." Daley is also an avid fan of the Mets. "I got
