Largest-ever tuition hikeexpected

by Dawn Timbario

Assistant News Editor Tuition for next year will increase 10 to 15 percent, according to several administration sources.

The Board of Trustees' approval on exactly how high the increase will be will not be made known until after their upcoming meeting on April 15.

Until then, students are being kept in a financial state of limbo.

Af least part of the reason for the stiff tuition increase is due to the recommendation of a marketing consultant hired by Cabrini. He advised the college administration

Start talking to us...now

For all those mathematically inclined out there, and the college business office too, here's a mind-bender to try for homework: The college is in a budget crunch. Each department has been mandated to cut their operating costs by 10 percent. The Board of Trustees is projected to vote on a 15 percent tuition increase in April. Plus, the nation is in a recession.

If tuition increase A meets budget cuts B at the same rate of the recession, what will the cost be to the average student?

A) The student will be paying over $8,200 for tuition ... no-frills.

B) The college will have to drop volleyball for women, women's field hockey, co-ed golf, cheeleading, junior varsity basketball, and spring track and field.

C) Students are not provided with enough information to complete the problem.

D) All of the above.

If your answer is "D," you're right on the money.

During these constrictive and restrictive years, we as students need to make sure we aren't being ripped off. We need not know the intricacies of the financial world of Cabrini, but we do need to show a general concern for the dollars and issues that directly affect us. . Administration will forget us, if we forget ourselves. Part of their job, however, is to tell students honest answers both in the classroom and outside.

There is a tendency for us to get really fired up about controversy such as this, and then let the follow-through slide. Both administration and students need to open-up and wise-up if we're going to make it through this one.

An example of this togetherness would be a budget forum where faculty, administration and students could collectively make the tough financial choices we face. Then we can stop centering on our own self-interests, and work towards sharing the collgege's burden.

We are in fact paying more for less, so we better make sure that what we are left with is worth it.

To the editor:

Assistant News Editors: Rita Cellucci. K1mberty Keck, Dawn limbano and M,ssy von S.egel Perspectives Editor

I was pleased to see the section on date rape in the March 15thedition of the Loquitur, and I was doubly pleased to see that much of the infonnation was quoted from Rape: What You Should Know. Both men and women need to know that rape is a serious and growing problem, and this is what I had in mind when I developed the pamphlet over the summer. It is essential that the community be educated in order to prevent future occurances of sexual misconduct.

A special thanks to Dr. Daniel Schwarz, and Karen Magargle from Women Against Rape for their encouragement, and for their assistance in the development of the pamphlet.

Sincerely, Rachel S. Sakowitz

TUITION INCREASE, from 1 to charge a higher tuition payment in order to increase its prestige.

Dean of students Robert Bonfiglio called this the Cadillac theory. The old adage that you get what you pay for.

Tentative figures are being disclosed to incoming first-year students inquiring about the cost of education at Cabrini. Director of admissions, Nancy Gardner said, "We are giving them the figures for this year. I recommend they consider a 10 to I 5 percent increase to that and to figure more on the upslant towards 15."

Gardner said emollment is down for every college due to the low birth rate two decades ago. A February Associated Press story, however, stated that Pennsylvania's state-affiliated schools are enjoying their best enrollments in recent years. Gardner said that there have not been many incoming students who have declined enrollment to the college. Instead, they are aware that they are very much in demand and are waiting to hear what their financial aid will be as well as how much the tuition will increase.

The financial aid office is basically in the same boat with admissions. Elizabeth Cairns, assistant director of fina.11cialaid, said that actual figures for this year are not yet being given out to prospective students. "Estimates, estimates, estimates," Cairns said, are being given for next year.

John Barclay, chief financial officer, said that the Board of Trustees must consider many factors before designing a new budget.

They analyze everything from utilities to salaries. "If we can trim expenses and become more productive and institute costsaving measures," Barclay said, then he does not foresee as large a jump in tuition in subsequent years.

Last year, Cabrini's tuition increased by 10 percent which, according to Barclay, was at that point the largest increase on record.

"We are still one of the lowest-priced colleges in this area," Barclay said.

This low price tag is exactly what the board's marketing consultant studied in a financial review of the college. Gardner said the consultant believes the college has kept its tuition costs too low in the past and now must raise it. He also believed, according to Gardner, that any college carrying a large price tag will be looked upon favorably as

offering a better education. The consultant said tuition will also have to be raised in order for Cabrini to gain a higher level of prestige.

Barclay said, "(Prestige) is not a reason to raise the price, but it may be a by-product."

He believes students will choose Cabrini not because of the price tag but because it provides a quality education and wi IIcontinue to remain financially stable.

Despite the proposed increase in tuition, the budgets for all activities next year are being cut. The money from the tuition increase and the cuts will be fed into the financial aid office in order to generate more money for the students, Barclay said.

Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students, is not delighted by the cuts. It does mean less money for what the student activities office wants to organize for next year, but he believes a cut in the budget would lend structure. "Having less money will help us focus on what we should be doing," Bonfiglio said.

In regards to whether an increase in tuition will affect the prestige of the college, Bonfiglio agrees with Barclay. He doesn't believe in the direct correlation between higher price and better reputation. "In terms of the effectiveness of Cabrini's mission and programs, I think Cabrini can be as effective or is just as effective as a lot of higher-priced institutions," Bonfiglio said.

All colleges competing with Cabrini for enrollment charge a higher tuition. According to statistics published in the "Chronicle of Higher Education" on Oct. 10, 1990, a student attending St. Joseph's University is paying $9,650 this year. LaSalle University's tuition is slightly lower at $9,150 and Rosemont College charges $8,675. Currently, Cabrini's tuition for this year equals $7,740. For this price students are receiving the same caliber education, Bonfiglio said, than if they enrolled in a higher priced institution.

In formulating the budget, the board is said to be considering those students already enrolled. Gardner said she hopes the board approves a plan for the retention of upperclassmen because for every currently-enrolled student who leaves, the office of admissions must work to recruit another new student.

It'sabout8:30a.m.in Union, W. Va. Fem Hill is leaving her apart~ent located across the street from the town's lone gas station.

Hill, a woman of about 60 years of age, walks two blocks up Main St. to the Monroe County Community House where she has been a volunteer for the past three years. Hill has lived in Union since 1945, and though the town boasts only about 800 residents, she "wouldn't have it any other way."

YOIJlive on Main St."

Due to the nature of its name, one would think life on Main St. would be full of activity.

"Oh, I like it alright, but there's nothin' goin' on," Hill said. "It's real quiet, even on Saturday night."

According to Hill, Union is mostly a retirement community and not a place for the younger generation. Some reasons Hill included were not enough opportunities for employment and cultural activities.

"If you're lookin' for entertainment,

"It's a real good little town," said Hill in a friendly West Virginian accent, "even if

whom some Cabrini students came to know in Union as participants of Project Appalachia during spring break. Twelve individuals travelled to Union, W. Va., while 13 stayed in Fayetteville, located approximately an hour away.

The students received their work assignments upon their arrival which included painting and cleaning houses, repairing an outdoor wheelchair ramp and a porch roof.

In addition to physical labor, the students also provided companionship by talking with the people, getting to know them on an individual basis, and for a week, actually becoming a part of their lives.

Krista Milito, sophomore, was a member of the Fayetteville crew and a newcomer to this year's project. One person whom Milito talked with is Sam, a 21 year old divorced man who lives with his grandmother in Fayetteville.

According to Milito, Sam has a 23-monthold daughter whom he visits every Wednesday and Saturday. As Sam has no transportation, Milito said that he usually walks there beginning at 7 a.m. and arriving at 10 a.m.

Milito and other Cabrini students were able to help Sam by giving him a ride to and from his former wife's house in order that he could spend time with his daughter. Milito said that Sam "really opened up to me."

Over a two-day period, Milito and other members of the Fayetteville crew worked together in cleaning Sam's house, which according to Milito, was greatly needed.

Milito described the house as consisting of four rooms and that everything was covered in black, due to a large coal-burning

learning experience. ''I actually took a look at what was around me," Dunn said. "I could see the connection between how they are living and how the government is running things.''

Karie Papay, senior, travelled to Union this year marking trip number four. This year, Papay rekindled old friendships that she has made over the years.

Something that stands out in her mind from this trip is a warm comment she received frorn one of these close friends, saying that the people there will always remember her. '' I started crying when he said that because it was something that made me feel special," Papay said. "Someone, somewhere, appreciated me.''

Papay is making plans for next year in attempting to involve a crew consisting of high school students or if possible, (since she will be graduating this May) to return with Cabrini.

Junior Sean Mc Donough, a newly involved member with the project this year, also travelled to Union. ·'I think I got more out of it than I thought I would," McDonough said. "By going down there, seeing the people and just helping them, you help ),IW(self."

McDonough, like Papay, hopes to make a return trip to Union and hopefully encourage more members from a male perspective.

"I think it would be important if a few more guys went," McDonough said. "From an overall picture, it would be good."

Francesca Bansbach, campus minister and a coordinator of the project, travelled to Union. Bansbach was pleased at how well

A childand an alcoholic an opinion by Lo"aine Marie Lill Assistant Features Editor

"What is wrong with daddy? Why is mommy crying? Mommy told me he is going away for a few weeks. Why? Doesn't daddy love me anymore?"

His father loves him, that is why he is going away. He is his baby. His youngest child. He is going away to take control of his life. His father is an alcoholic.

Someone tries to explain to the baby that his father has a disease. How can his father have a disease from drinking beer?

The baby does not realize what is going on, because he feels that everything is all right. He thinks he is playing a game of hide-n-seek when his sisters drag him into a closet in the middle of the night.

When his father finally came home everything seemed different. ''Why is daddy home before 10 o'clock every night? Why doesn't daddy want any beer? Mommy, why aren't you crying?"

The baby has two older sisters. All three siblings acquired defense mechanisms from what they saw and heard when they were children. Each of these small kids grew into an adult child of an alcoholic.

Sixteen years earlier the baby's father stopped drinking. Now the baby is a twenty-year-old college student. He realizes that the way he is today is partially because his father is a recovering alcoholic.

Being an adult, he can now look back

at his life. He notices that everytime he is quiet it is because someone is yelling.

He is very good at looking people in the eye, but he does not like to say anything that might hurt someone.

He now understands that he is a protector. He is not a loud protector, but a silent protector. If someone does not like him he becomes extremely uncomfortable. He thinks he did something wrong.

He is now beginning to understand why he tries to defend the people close to him. He cannot bare to see a loved one cry.

He was never hit as a child. He has never heard about his sisters or his mother ever being hit. However, the yelling was very strong. The yelling is what has scarred him.

Now he is able to talk to others. They have helped him to find out what kind of person he really is.

He needs to attend an "Adult Children of Alcoholics'' meeting.

He needs to talk to others who have experienced something similar to what he encountered. By talking to someone who understands him, he will be able to understand himself.

He knows that being the child of an alcoholic makes him more likely to become an alcoholic.

He has always been aware of that fact. But now he realizes that he has been drinking too much.

"Mom, could I become like the way dad was when I was a child? Could I be an alcoholic? I don't want to be. I think I may need help!"

Milito also added that as a result of no running water, there was a large number of dishes sitting in the kitchen sink. ''They had to have had dishes stacked for a year,'' Milito said.

One aspect of the week that leaves an impression in the mind of sophomore Juliann Dunn is working on the house of Mr. Green. Dunn and her co-workers cleaned Green's house also, but what surprised Dunn was the personal possessions and bare essentials that weren't present. ''The dirty windows, grease in the kitchen, and dirt on the walls didn't nearly as phase me as the lack of belongings that the man just didn't have," Dunn said, adding that "yet, he seemed happy."

For Dunn, who also went to Fayetteville last year, this trip was more of a deeper

each person worked together as a team.

"Every year I'm impressed in how people come out of themselves and show such maturity and sensitivity," Bansbach said.

Nancy Long, a senior and a co-coordinator of the project, made her third trip to Fayetteville this year. Long is glad she went as she made many new friends, not only from Fayetteville, but also some people from Cabrini whom she did not know very well.

Milito holds this same view as well. "By the end of the week, we were best friends,'' Milito said. "You find out how good some people really can be."

Upon her return, Milito discovered that trying to explain her experiences was difficult.

"It was a kind of week where you have to experience it to understand," Milito said.

Every willing victim had their personality captured by caricaturist Joseph Aronson at the picnic dinner Friday evening.

Then finally it was time for the main event!

Carter "KD3AO"' Craigie captured the essence of the wrestlers as he commentated on the matches. Craigie was able to escape the evening without being tossed into the ring.

Faculty members and parents from the community brought their children out on Saturday morning for the children's games in the gymnasium. Kids of all sizes became Ninja Turtles or clowns and had free run of the gym.

section.

And so the story goes the Student Government Association of Cabrini College successfully held their eighth annual Superthon.

This year all proceeds went to benefit the Caring Program for Children. This foundation provides primary and preventive health care to children of working poor families at no cost to the parents.

The college's corporate sponsor, Independence Blue Cross and Pennsylvania Blue Shield, matched the college's donation dollar for dollar.

Because of donations from local businesses and money raised at the events, SGA exceeded their goal and the money will sponsor 25 children from Delaware County beginning April I. The Student Government Association would like to thank everyone for coming out ;md supporting these events for a worthwhile cause.

A special thanks goes to all who helped with set-up, clean-up and offered moral support!

Handicapped accessibility increase proposed

by J.P. Raynock

Caranfa said that there is a bid in with Jim

staffwn'ter Craven, a concrete contractor, to make the Last semester, the Sacred Heart Hall elevator opened. Now instead of zig-zagging from floor to floor on the ramps, disabled students can move directly from floor to floor. But just how accessible is Cabrini to the handicapped?

Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students, feels that Cabrini is moderately accessible.

"We just made a dramatic improvement this . semester with the opening of the elevator."

Bonfiglio said. However, he went on to say that the mansion and the upper floorof Grace Hall, which houses the faculty offices, are areas that also need attention.

"I asked Mike Caranfa to look at the mansion because of the business office."

Tony Brocchi, vice president of institutional advancement, said. Brocchi also said that he feels the elevator is a major improvement with regards to access for disabled students.

"I think it's a concern of the college to look into these things," Brocchi said.

According to Mik~ Caranfa, chief physical plant officer, the mansion is being discussed with regards to it's accessibility:

mansion accessible. "If we can fund it, we'd' like to do it this sum111er."Caranfa said.

Xavier Hall is currently the only handicapped accessible dormitory on campus. In addition, it has one bathroom that is equipped with handicapped aids such as handrails, hand-held shower heads.and fold out seats in the shower. However, the actual rooms in this quad are no different than the other rooms.

According to Cathy Caulfield, director of resident life, the admissions office informs resident life of any disabled students who are enrolling. Resident life then talks to the student and their family .to detennine what special needs, if any, the student has. Then resident life works with physical plant, if necessary, to accommodate the student.

In addition to Xavier, Caulfield said that some of the houses could be made handicapped accessible. The showers in some houses have lower splash ledges that could accommodate wheelchairs, and ramps could be put at the side entrances.

However, handicapped accessibility isn't always achieved with just ramps and elevators. According to Susan Fitzgerald R.N.,

director of health services, there is no specific counseling or support group for handicapped students. "However, "Fitzgerald said, "they are made more aware of the counseling services and encouraged to use them."

Megan Flanigan, sophomore, was born with cerebral palsy arid is affected from the waist down. She feels that Cabrini is fairly accessible, with the exception of the mansion, and the faculty offices in Grace Hall. When she needs something from the business office, she gets a friend to go for her, and her adviser's office is in the Widener Center, which is accessible. In addition, Flanigan says her choice of residence halls is limited to Xavier.

"The school is trying hardernow that I'm here and since they know there is a possibility of other (disabled) people coming here," Flanigan said.

However, there are some features about Cabrini that can't be changed - such as its hills. Flanigan used a manual wheelchair and crutches before she carne to Cabrini, and didn't want an electric chair for fear she would get lazy. Then she came to Cabrini.

"I said 'Mom get me one. Those hills are way too much.,..

"I have to give them credit though," Flanigan said. "Because they do realize I am here and they are trying to make it easier."

DEPARTMENTAL CUTS, from 1 get the report cards to (students) quicker." According to Hansbury, issuing report cards earlier is something the registrar's office has really been wanting to do.

Theater director Neal Newman said that what we do here is the Rumpelstiltskin school of theater.

"We give you little or nothing and put you and a bunch of people away in a room and come back in a few months to see if the straw has been spun into gold," Newman said.

According to Newman the difference in the amount of money spent this year and next year will not change as far as the theater is concerned.

According to Dzik the athletic - department will still offer basketball, cross country and tennis for men and women along with softball and soccer. "By cutting the other programs it would leave us with four sports for men and four for women. In order to remain a Division III, NCAA school we must sponsor eight sports, four for men and four for women, during the fall, winter and spring seasons.

Dzik said another reason for the specific programs being cut had a lot to do with the fact that no current members of those programs, except for JV basketball, have been recruited.

Dzik said he could not believe that the students will feel that this is a positive thing. "As an administrator I have been told to cut my budget. Even so this is only cutting the operating defecit. This is not because of poor management but because of insufficient funding," Dzik said.

The NCAA "Report on Revenues and Expenses of Intercollegiate Athletic Program: Analysis of Financial Trends and Relationships 1985- l 989," suggests average total expenses for Cabrini's type of athletic program in 1989 should be $278,000. "Our total expenses including salaries, benefits, social security, work study and van lease is $140,000. I proposed to the senior staff in Novem-

ber 1989 for an operating budget of $43,500.

I received roughly $30,000.

I am not saying we should be at $278,000 but we probably bring that average down," Dzik said.

"I am afraid that someone will point the finger at me and say poor fiscal management but here are the figures to back it up," Dzik said.

According to Dzik, the men's

'We give you little or nothing and put you and a bunch of people away in a room and come back in a few months to see if the straw has been spun into gold.'

- Neal Newman, theater director, on Cabrini administration's 'Rumpelstiltskin' attitude toward theater basketball programs at our level have a reported an operating deficit at $24,000 which is almost equal to Cabrini's athletic operating budget. "Men's basketball is the most expensive program we run," Dzik said. ."I have no idea if they (the senior staff and budget committee) will want to drop basketball," Dzik said. Dzik made these recommendations based upon what he thought was the best way to go.

Dzik said that the athletic program has created a great deal of visibility and student activity. "This isnotDzik'sdecision. ThisisDzik's recommendation based upon facts," Dzik said.

Bonfiglio said that he feels strongly that deep cuts in the athletic program is not a positive step.

"I hope I have other options," have between 60 and 70 majors in this department.

"Sorpe things that have been happening will reduce our expenditures such as one less resident assistant in CounseJ Hall. We will be operating on a shoestring budget," Bonfiglio said.

"We are creative when we find ways to get things done without spending much money. I will see the minor adjustments and what I perceive to be the needs of the college.

John Barclay, chief financial officer, hopes that the budget freeze this school year has helped departments become more cost conscious.

"The final numbers are still. being gathered and we are looking for ways to conserve," Barclay said .

With tuition rising; scholarships cut costs

by Elizabeth MacGuire

staff writer

Money. Most college students need more.

One of the best ways to get money for colleg~ is scholarships. Scholarships ¥e made up of m~meythat you don't have to pay back. There are two different categories of scholarships according to Elizabeth Cairns, assistant director of financial aid.

The internal scholarships are those scholarships that the college or institution provides for those who demonstrate financial need arid/or meet certain qualifications. There are a lot of need based scholarships awarded to those who show their need for money in order to stay in college. Other internal scholarships have restrictions that can be based on either how well the person who is applying is doing in school or has done if applying for the first time or service to the community and leadership abilities.

Cabrini offers three such scholarships according to Cairns. These are the Sedler philosophy, Lindback and the Patience Cavanaugh McFadden Memorial awards. The Cavanaugh and the Lindback require some kind of service whether to the college itself or the community as a whole. The Sedler though requires that the person applying is either a philosophy major or has had some philosophy courses.

The external scholarships are those scholarships that can come from anywhere. Career organizations, companies, unions and communities offer thousands of dollars to college students who apply for their scholarships according to "The Scholarship Book."

"The Scholarship Book" found in the Cabrini library is one good source for information on scholarships. Other good sources are the search companies. These companies for $40 to $70 dollars search out the scholar-

"I tried this method early last semester to find some more money for college," Colleen Murphy, junior, said.

"The first thing someone who is applying for a scholarship needs to do is to go to the financial aid office and get the forms necessary to determine if that person is eligible for any of the need based scholarships," Cairns said. "This college mainly offers need-based scholarships. There are ·other scholarships that the college offers that are not need based," Cairns said: Presidential, Vice-presidential and Dean scholarships are a few of the scholarships offered. Sue DiMoia, sophomore, is one of the Cabrini students offered a Dean scholarship.

"I have to keep a 3.3 G.P.A. to renew the scholarship each year," DiMoia said.

Problem found in sewer

by J.P. Raynock staff writer

It's pouring rain outside. Suddenly, from out of the sewer emerge men in yellow suits, bearing t.v. cameras. They jump into a white van and speed off into the mist. No, this isn't a scene from anew spy thriller. It's Cabrini's own I IO rolling acres.

According to Mike Caranfa, chief physical plant officer, there is no cause for alarm.

It's simply Radnor Township doing aroutine inspection of Cabrini's sanitary sewer pipes.

Sanitary sewers carry water from toilets and stnks, as opposed to storm sewers which carry rain water.

"They run t. v. cameras down the sewer line to look for cracks in the pipes." Caranfa

said.

Dan Malloy, engineer for Radnor Township, said the township was checking to see if groundwater was seeping into the sanitary sewer line. "We noticed a high concentration of clear water downstream in the sanitary sewer line." Malloy said.

The problem is a hole in the pipe near Residential Blvd. "That's a real good question." Malloy said when asked how the hole got there. The township is currently trying to determine who is financially responsible for the hole. Malloy said it could have happened as early as the installation of the pipe.

"It's only a few feet underground." said Malloy. "It could probably be dug up by hand." The cost should only be a few hundred dollars, according to Malloy.

. TAXI, from 1 issue 16) Bonfiglio said he questioned TAXI' s consistency with the college's mission. "(TAXI) is responding to reality and a responsible alternative," Dr. Jolyon Girard, professor of history said.

"The mission encourages responsiblity and smart choices," Lisa Bogia, public relations associate said. "The program (TA.XI) is moving towards getting people to think and be more responsible for themselves."

"Having a service like this will lessen the risk of drinking and driving."

Eileen McAlinney, drug and alcohol counselor said. "TAXIprovides a safety net."

"It is great that students are taking the initiative to help other students," Bonfiglio said.

"This is a big step for Cabrini," Karen Bell, sophomore, said.

Bell said when she is 21, she would feel comfortable calling TAXI. First-year-student Jim Kunf said it is a good idea if you want to drink off campus.

According to Mullen, SGA has considered the idea of TAXI for the past couple of years. "The time is right,"Mullen said. "This is something the college needs."

SGA will be giving each student a business card with the days, times and number for TAXI. The days will be Friday and Saturday from IOp.m.- 2 a.m .. The number to call is 971-8415. .TAXI is entirely funded by SGA. According to Mullen, the only expense to date has been business cards.

Others wait for applications to arrive in the mail. This is another good way to get information about scholarships. Writing for information can only improve your chances of getting a good scholarship. When you write to the organizations sponsoring the scholarships, be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope and a standard form letter stating your purpose.

"It's up to the students to take the extra steps required to apply for any scholarships," Cairns said. "Remember the financial aid deadline for applications is April 1. If you don't have your PHEAA application in ...File it immediatelyl" Most scholarships have deadlines starting in January but there are still a few that are still open.

"The best time to start looking into scholarships though is November to December of the previous year," Cairns said. "Keep your eyes, ears and mouth open to any and all possible scholarships."

Lastly, scholarships are there for your benefit. Take advantage of them.

"Don't be afraid to ask for money for college," Cairns said.

Sneakers: contoured andhightechto improve performance

by Rita S. Cellucci Assistant News Editor There is Air Jordan V, Adidas Forum, Etonic, Asics GT, Nike Air Tech, Reebok, Avia 775, New Balance Pl 500, Converse, Brooks GFS 105, and L.A Gear.

What is the point of listing the names of sneakers?

These are sneakers designed for athletes intent on enhancing their performance. For every sport there is a specific shoe with certain criteria.

Both Foot Locker and Gold Medal Sporting Goods stores have hundreds and hundreds of styles to choose from. Prices range from $25 to$ 160. All in different styles, colors and soles. Then there is high .tops, low tops, quarter tops.

All for the consumer to decide on.

Testing different models and styles will give you a shoe specific to your sport.

A recent article in The New York Times, written by Dr. John McNerney, a podiatrist in New York, answers some questions athletes amd consumers have in looking for a good shoe. McNemey listed the qualities needed for a good shoe: orthopedic construction, fit and comfort, style, and cost.

The article also mentioned the criteria common to most performance shoes. Stability, cushioning, flexibility, durability and comfort are the five important ones.

Stability is what McNemey referred to as the ability of the shoe to withstand side to side motion.

Reinforcement on the upperpartof the shoe, such as straps and lacing,

are what make a shoe stable. Also, a flared sole gives stability. Basketball players are the ones who would profit from shoes providing lateral support with the flared sole.

Cushioning dampens shock and pressure caused by running and jumping. According to Dr. Benson Weinstock, a private practice podiatrist from the Foot and Ankle Institute in Philadelphia, said cushioning is important to a point.

Weinstock said, "the s·hoe must have an insole that is semi-flexible in order to feel a resistance in the arch.'' That, he said, creates support.

Shoe flexibility is neccessary in the forefoot, which would make the shoe able to bend across the toes. Compare models and place them on a flat surface. Lifting the heel, while pressing down on the forefoot will show if the shoe will be flexible.

For comfort and fit, as well as the overall choice in selecting a proper shoe, basically relies on the individual preference. Testing different models and styles will give you a shoe specific to your sport.

The most popular shoe at the Foot Locker store in the plaza at King of Prussia Mall is the Air Jordan. ''The reason is because of style and how Nike markets the shoe," an employee at Foot Locker, said.

Nike markets the shoe in saturation volume, in which the store needs to sell a certain number of shoes a week. The Foot Locker store at the Gallery in Philadelphia alone sells 55 to 60 pairs a week.

One-third of the Gold Medal Sporting Goods in Springfield is footwear. Their biggest sellers are Nike and Reebok, in all their styles, for cross training and basketball. Adidas is liked for soccer and New Balance for running. Most of the younger kids come in look-

McNemey wrote that all-court players need both back and side to side stability, good flexibility, and cushioning.

Chris Renzulli, senior, plays tennis and he wears Nike Air because he said they "feel great." ''They are cushioned real well so I won't injure myself in my game," Renzulli said. He also said that that will improve his game. Fellow teammate, Michael Reidy, junior, wears Ektalon. Reidy bought them "because they are for tennis and are good quality shoes."

All in all, no matter what you choose, the shoe should fit the sport.

Cabrini's women's tennis team earned a second place standing last weekend at the Betty Prince Memorial Tournament in Easton, Pa. '' It was a real good finish for this year.''

Reggie Day, coach of the women's tennis team, said.' 'We went as an all freshman and sophomore team because the two co-captains couldn't play."

The team beat Albright and Moravian, while losing to Muhlenberg.

Moravian had one more point than Cabrini, but Cabrini came in a higher standing because the emphasis was on individual play and wins and not the overall score of a team.

Against Albright, Cabrini won 3-2.

Celeste Eschbach, sophomore, won 8-3 for singles, sophomore Lisa Rose and first-year Joelle Spagnola won 8-4 for doubles and Sophomores April Scott and Karen Bell won 8-4 for doubles against Albright.

Against Moravian, Cabrini won 3-2. Mary Ann Walker, first-year student, won 8-5, Eschbach won 8-6, and Neal McGill, firstyear student, won 8-5 for singles.

Muhlenberg won all matches against Cabrini.

Earlier this year, the team won Cabrini's invitational, the Philadelphia Area Catholic College tournament.

"This poses a nice finish," Day said, "especially with our overall season record ofl 1-5."

"It looks well for next year."

MarchMadness: Thebestof ti mes M-A-R-C-H- M-A-D-N-E-S-S! It has interrupted your favorite daytime and nightime soap operas and sitcoms. It has taken considerable time out of all the sports talk radio shows and has taken valuable ink away from the end of the NHL hockey season and baseball's spring training. Why? To me this is the best time of the year. Whether you like the NCAA's selection process on the top 64 teams in the nation or not, you have to believe that the teams in this tournament are the best. It doesn't matter if you are rooting for the University of Nevada Las Vegas or the Red Flash from St. Francis.

In theory, anyoneofthe teams are eligible and have a chance to become national champions.

Last weekend began for me at noon on Thursday. That was the time the tournament began. It didn't matter to me who was playing or not, it was the tournament.

One channel, CBS, is covering every game exclusively for the first time. My heart dropped when CBS showed a quad screen showing four different games at the same time.

I am proud of the reputation I have built-: Thursday through Saturday my dorm room was filled with off-campus students, oncampus students, and alumni watching NCAA basketball.

People calling me that I haven't talked to in months knowing exactly what I was doing this weekend.

It's March Madness. Throughout the basketball season there are many different sports-related stories that float around the different

campuses but this time of the year the stories are the best. Does UNLV really deserve to be in the tournament after all of allegations against their basketball program? Does Indiana really have the talentto go to the Final Four in their home state?

The one big surprise to me, and probably to every one else is Eastern Michigan. Michigan wasn't good enough to even be invited this year after winning it just a couple years ago. Michigan State lost in double overtime to Utah on Sunday. It won the national championship way back when Earvin "Magic" Johnson played there.

Now due to all the hype and publicity of- the Sweet 16 everyone will know who the Hurons best player is, Marcus Kennedy and who their skinny 37-year-old coach is, Beil Braun. Will they beat North Carolina in the next round?

No. But this past week Eastern Michigan has had more focus on their institution than ever before.

I do not think there will be any upsets in this next round. All the higher placed seeds will win and advance to the "Final Eight". No question about it, sorry Temple fans.

How is my tournament pool going? Well I am glad you asked.

Thirteen out of the Sweet 16 is not bad. The Eastern part of the bracket is the only section that is screwing me up. Eastern Michigan, Oklahoma State, and Temple are the only teams I do not have.

I hope you got all your work done in the beginning of the week because the whole thing starts all over again.

Isn't March Madness great?

It will be a strong season for the men's tennis team, according to some members of the team and-coach Reggie Day. ''We have a greatgroupofreturning players," Day said. "And a strong group of freshman and transfers."

Returning are tri-captains, senior Leo Eschbach, seniorChris Renzulli and senior Robert Bonner, who had been a co-captain during. his sophomore year then took a year off from tennis.

Also returning are junior Mike Reidy, sophomore Dave Thompson and sophomore Sean McNamara.

New to the tennis team this year are firstyear students Bill Wells, Jeff Patti, Matt Cahill, and sophomore transfer-student Jim Lahlan.

According to Day, the team ''didn't do so well" last year because of a few injuries, close matches and a tough schedule. However, this year's team "Is the strongest men's team ever at Cabrini, and the strong-

the Cavs will meet Allentown College, Wesley College, Salisbury State and Frostburg State, all good and strong competitors.

Over Easter Break, the Cavs will travel to Hilton Head Island, where they will meet more stiff competition. They will play Youngstown State, a Division IAA team, Johnstown State, a known tennis power, West Chester University, a good Division II squad, and State University if New York (SUNY)- Oneonta, a powerful Division III COQlpetitor,according to Day. According to first-year student Matt Cahill; that trip will be very big for the Cavs because, even though the teams are tough there; the Cavs "have a good amount of talent.''

Also in the plans for the Cavs is a Cabrini Invitational for the men's team to.ward the end of the season.

According to Day, the women's team had one for the !<)Sttwo years, and now it is time "for the men's team to branch out and to start to go places."

As for the future of the tennis team, it. is looking bright, accordjng to Day. "Everyone in the conference realizes that we are a team to watch.''

This year's team, according to Day, has all of the makings of a great tennis team depth, skill, a lot of talent and experience.

"The' team realJy looks good this year."

Eschbach said, ''there are a lot of good new players."

The depth comes from the overall talent of the whole team, not just the top players, according to Day. An example of this depth occurred at 'the opener with Widener University. Eschbach, who is the number one Cavalier player, ~as unable play because of a battle with bronchitis. First-year Bill WelJs took on the number one spot and came out victorious.

"Bill WelJs is a strong player," Day said, '' And will figure very prominently with the team.''

"The other new players are also strong," Day said, '' And will be important factors in the years to come."

"We have a pretty tough schedule this season." Eschbach said.

According to Day, The strongest competition is supposed to come from the ESAC (Eastern States Athletic Conference). There

According to Chris Thompson, sophomore, the team seemed to have no idea '¥hat was happening and everything seemed to shut down. "It was like we weren't on the court," he said.

After Eastern tied the score at two sets a piece the Cavs could not regain the momentum that drove them early and succumbed to the Eagles 15-7. The defeat dropped the Cavs season record to l- 7.
