Parking sparks a heated debate 'We need more parkingspaces'

by Kelly Adams staff writer

Parking spaces are in short supply these days, according to residents, commuters, faculty and staff. On Tuesday, Sept.10 at noon, only thiee parking spaces were available in the Grace Hall parking lot. Sacred Heart Hall parking lot was full and four cars were parked on the grass. There were, however, several spaces occupied in the Grace Hall lot by mulch and other Physical Plant material.

"It's a pain in the neck," Cheryl Croce, sophomore, said.

"You' re late for class by the time you find a parking space," Marybeth Gorbey, also a sophomore said.

"One of the 'benefits' is a nice long walk from the parking lot," Dr. Kathleen M. Daley-McKinley, professor of sociology, said. Daley's office is located is Grace Hall.

According to Michael H. Caranfa, chief physical plant officer, there are 669 parking

spaces available to the students and staff.

Four hundred forty-eight of these are available to the commuter students of Cabrini.

1,001 parking stickers have been issued this semester.

When asked if there were any plans to expand the parking facilities, Caranfa said, "There's nothing on the board." However, Grace Hall parking lot was last expanded in 1989, when 150 spaces were added.

This problem was compounded by the closing of the Mansion courtyard parking lot for both the office staff and residents of the Mansion. The courtyard was closed by orderof President Sr. Eileen Currie, M.S.C. According to the memo from Currie, parking in the Courtyard will be "restricted for visitors and service vehicles only."

According to Currie, the lot was closed "to provide adequate parking for visitors to the college and the security and service vehicles."

"It was becoming increasingly difficult to have enough space available," Currie said. "Frequently, in the past, I have had to have the courtyard cleared completely, especially when we have meetings," Currie said. see PARK, pg. 4

·Priceplaced on catalog

by Catherine DeHart staff writer

Instead of students receiving a catalog, it is presently being sold in the bookstore for $3.

"Ifs a big expense for the college. A lot of schools do it," Jennifer Stevens, book store manager, said. Stevens also made it clear that there was a charge for the catalog_in previous years, but the previous bookstore was too small for the catalog to be displayed.

The Public Relations office is responsible for the development and printing of the catalog. Karen Berlant, director of public relations, confirmed that the cost of the catalog covers the production of the book. Berlant said that this year approximately 8300 catalogs were printed at a total cost of 20 thousand dollars. When broken down, this comes to $2.40 a book.

Stevens noted that she has no input in the charge of the catalog. This responsibility is that of Chief Financial Officer JohnBarclay.

Barclay said that he does not know what the $3 charge represents. "We're not trying to make a profit here. I don't even mind selling at a Joss," Barclay said.

Barclay also noted that it is the students responsibility to hold on to the catalog. The idea of charging for the catalog was established last year because of the high numbers of catalogs distributed. "It is all a matter of keeping tuition down," Barclay said.

Barclay also explained that Stevens re-

ceives the price from accounts payable, so he has no idea where the charge came from and where the additional 60 cents is being spent Stevens said that the money the store makes for anything goes back into the school.

Barclay said that the 60 cents will be used for future production of later catalogs.

Berlant said that the catalog is sent to high school libraries and guidance counselors.

Prospective students, on request, receive a free catalog. Offices such as Continuing Education and the Registrar receive a quoted number of catalogs as well as the faculty, transfer and first-year students. There are 10 reference copies in our library and in the Counseling Center.

'We're not trying to make a profit here' -John Barclay, chief financial officer "There was talk about a two year catalog last year," Berlant said. Now thatthe curriculum has become more stable, the present catalog will be valid for the next school year.

A supplement will be available next year if there is a change in tuition and fees or finanical aid. The look will stay the same in order to save money to create a totally new catalog every year.

At the end of last year the faculty was tallied as to how many catalogstheywould need.When those are gone, that's it until 1993.

Students parked their cars in illegal spaces this past weekend and were ticketed as a result.

Open forumat Parking Committeemeeting

by Rita S. Cellucci News Editor

Mansion residents, people wanting to have parking tickets revoked and others gathered in the Dean of Students Conference Room to discuss the parking issue on campus, specifically the Mansion courtyard closing and tickets issued over the weekend, with Parking Committee members.

The students' right to know and the College's lack of notifying students was another point raised by students during the meeting.

Thirty students met Tuesday, Sept. 17, with committee members Rich Kralle, director of security and safety; Rich Scattergood, security guard; Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student affairs; Julie Luckraft, computer science instructor and faculty representative; Anna Hazelrigg, resident life and staff representative and junior Brandon Dougherty, student representative.

Sharlene Sephton, Mansion R.A., spoke first, reading a letter directed to the committee on behalf of the Mansion residents.

The letter stated that the courtyard should be open to student parking, asking that "the action be repealed on the basis that it is unsafe and unfair."

On August 27, President Sr. Eileen Currie, M.S.C., issued a memo stating that only visitors and service vehicles were allowed to park in the courtyard.

However, Currie did not go through the committee when making the decision.

Kralle said Currie made the decision because of liability and insurance covering the school. "Thank God this is the only problem," Kralle said.

This past weekend, security patrolled campus, ticketing vehicles that were parked illegally in Xavier, the Sacred Heart Hall lot and on Residential Boulevard. Tickets were issued for parking on the grass, in tow-away zones and handicapped spaces and for cars not having registration tags.

Students mentioned the fact that the deadline for registering cars was not until Wednesday, Sept. 18 and asked why tickets were being issued over the weekend.

Kralle said that it was intended as a see MEETING, pg.

perspectives

Tickets and the runaround Just a punk from the slag heap Some things at Cabrini never change: Dr. Girard and his suspenders and all the meetings that take place on this campus that fail to get something accomplish.

The only definite outcome of the first Parking Committee meeting held on campus this week was that there will be more meetings requir~d before anyone's complaining subsides.

We realize that the president of the College passed the Mansion parking decree banning student and staff parking in the courtyard. It was a militant move, calculated by one and unknown to others. The residents of the Mansion were given no forewarning preceeding the beginning of school.

Security has admitted that it is extremely unsafe and foolhardy to expect the young women of the Mansion to walk all the way from Grace Hall late at night on a heavily wooded campus. We hope that the proceeding meetings which take place will be able to convince our president that the mansion courtyard is the safest parking option for the residents of that building.

Also, under the cover of early morning darkness, cars were ticketed for not having parking tags, despite the fact that the published deadline for parking tags was Sept. 18. When the issue was brought up at the meeting all registration related tickets were voided. Our question is, why waste the manpower to issue useless tickets?

Faculty and staff were also ticketed. These actions are riding on the heels of a previous security director who was ineffective and invisible. Cabrini slept soundly, knowing they were in competent, friendly hands. Security is suddenly rising to campus-wide prominence in an endeavor to change the department's image from easygoing to hard-nosed.

However, if this ruling is not overturned, you can be assured that the response to this complaint is that people can call security to ask for an escort.

But what happens to them on their way to the phone and while they are waiting for security to arrive? Furthermore, do we really want security to become little more than a taxi service?

Finally, what do the different colored parking tags for residents and commuters mean? Does this mean a resident will be ticketed for being parked in the Sacred Heart Hall parking lot? (We are not in any way encouraging residents to drive from their house to the parking lot for breakfast.) At Tuesday's Parking Committee Meeting, no explanation was given for the new color-coded tags.

In addition, cars were also ticketed for being parked in the driveways of the houses, despite the fact that this rule has never been articulated to us, since we still do not have a student handbook. The justification for this rule is that in the event of an emergency, emergency vehicles would not be able to drive up to the house.

Another thing you may want to consider is this. Is it really right to make us pay $14,000+ per year to go here and then extort from us another $25 to park in peace? But the madness doesn't end here. Coming soon are visitor parking tags. We have no problem with the College's desire to regulate who parks on our campus, but why the $25 fee? Surely the cost of those tags is not $25. By the way, according to the related story in this issue, over 1,000 parking tags have been issued. Where does that $25,000+ go?

j. p. raynock perspectives editor This column is not intended as an apology or an explanation. It is sirnpl y about who I am and how I came to be.

Two years ago, I arrived at Cabrini with nothing but bus fare home, a union card in my back pocket and a warning from my Pop: "Screw upandl'llkillyou."

But actually, the story begins long before that.

Before Cabrini and before the slag heap, there was the fann. I grew up in a rambling, five-bedroom fannhouse between the towns of Weatherly and Rockport, on a road called the Weatherly RockportRoad Life on the fann was hard but always fun.

In the morning there were chores and then it was off to St. Nicholas School and the nuns.

After school, there were more chores and homework. On the weekends, I would walk down to my Uncle Mickey's fann and help him work on cars. In the summer, we pitched hay all day.

Even with all the work to do though, there was still time for fun: fishing down at Rockport on the Lehigh River, spotlighting deer and building tree stands for hunting season.

Sometimes we'd go up to the Rockport Tavern and hang out in the back and occasionally the owner, Jack Tyler, would let us have a beer or two. The tavern was a miserable little dirt-floored bar about a half mile up the road. To give you an idea of what kind of place this was, they had a sign up that read: "We don't have t.v., but we promise two fights every Friday night."

But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Things began to change, sometimes gradually, but usually suddenly. Enrollment dropped and St. Nicholas school closed. The government bought most of the town of Rockport, which never was much more than one dirt street, and turned it and the banks of the Lehigh into a state historical site. Two drunk guys plowed a '63 Cadillac into the bottom of our barn, destroying it and my father replaced it with a big two-story garage. And Jack Tyler sold the tavern to some New Yorker, who turned it into some fancy, high-priced restaurant.

But perhaps the unkindest cut of all was when Pop decided to sell the farm, along with the animals, the tractors; everything but the land. Berift of my livelihood, I had but one recourse - the slag heaps.

Perhaps you've driven by an industrial compound and seen huge mountains of a black dirt-like substance. This is slag and it's common around steel factories, iron foundries and the like. Well, slag has to come from somewhere and that somewhere is the heaps.

From IO at night until six in the morning, Sunday through Thursday, I worked at heaping slag for America's vast industrial complex.

Life at the slag heaps was hard. Every morning I came home blacker than a coal minerandmostofthe stuff I worked with was cancer causing, but the pay was good.

Then one fateful fall afternoon, shortly after the leaves began to change, Laurie Bentz somehow got off the Interstate on her way back from a college fair up near Scranton.

Somehow, someway, she ended up miles

from the nearestfour-lanehighway. Out of gas and out of patience, she ended up at Truever'scomer gas station.

That's whereI came in. Trueverhadgone into town to pick up a case of motor oil, so

Uncle Mickey and I were watching the pumps for him while trying to rebuild the cylinder head on a 1948 International Harvester tractor. As we filled up her car and gave her directions, we got around to why she was in the area. Laurie told me that she was an admissions assistant here at Cabrini and had gotten lost. Then she asked me where I was planning to go to college. Mickey and I just looked at one another. College to us was someplace where rich people sent their kids.

A few kids in town had gone away to school, but most of us fann kids were needed at home. We would grow up to farm the land or mine the coal, just as our fathers and grand-

fathershad done.

Call it bad judgment. Call it gratitude to us for helping her, but for some reason, Laurie started to try and recruit me. She

showed me view books. She gave me an application. She told me about the male/ female ratio. By the time she was finished, Truever had come back and it was getting dark, so Laurie offered Mickey and me a ride home ..

Well, my Pop's new business did well that year, so with the help of my Pop and some Laffey-McHugh grants, I was off to Cabrini.

I'm going on three years now here at Cabrini, and things are going pretty well.

I've gone from one of the most hated people on campus to ... well, I'm still not all that well liked. I've gone from part owner of Dean Bob's Bar and Grill to being on fairly good terms with the man. And I've gone from D~ Zurek's arch-nemesis in Mass Media to a responsible producer of this award-winning paper. But if my mannerisms sometimes become backward and uncultured, or you see me looking wistfully at a Physical Plant tractor, forgive me. At heart, I'm still just a punk from the slag heaps.

'Regarding Henry' Harrison Ford stars as an attorney who is shot and becomes mentally handicapped. This brings him closer to his wife, with whom he was barely speaking to before the accident. The accident also destroys his career because the firm does not like the kinder Henry. This is a good film about the best and worst of humanity.

'Pure Luck'· A clumsy heiress disappears prompting the U.S. government to send their best agent, as well as Martin Short, who is as clumsy as she is.

Their hope is that he will stumble onto where she stumbled off to.

Unfortunately, this movie relies too much on sight gags that just do not work.

'Freddv's .. Dead:'

Review

Around four years ago, Stephen King realized that it was time to close the book on the fictitious town of Castle Rock, featured in many of his stories.

He signed a three story "goodbye" to Castle Rock, which started with "The Dark Half," and is ending with this new novel. As a King novel, its horror will be potent, especially as the finale to a series. Expect King to be at his best.

'Uh-Oh' Robert Fulgham, author of "Everything I Ever Needed To Know I Learned In Kindergarten" gives more simple wisdom in this, his new novel. Filled with chapters of suggestions and insights, this book is a must read for anyone and everyone who wants a little creative insight to the human condition. Or, it is for anyone who wants a fun reading.~xperience.

'Homecoming' John Bradshaw, author of ''The Family," wrote this self-awareness book for anyone who wants to find their true self. This book shows how to nurture that self so that the reader can get some useful insight from it.

Freddy-vision 3-D creates a cut above the rest

by Joseph G. Buda

Dead: the Final Nightmare" still manages to be one of the better sequels in the long series.

Entertainment Editor Starting with a quote from Nietzsche on the terrors of dreaming, followed by heavy metal music and the plane ride from hell, Freddy Krueger lives and dies in "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare."

This, the sixth and promised final sequel to the highly popular "Nightmare on Elm Street" series is a cut about the last few, and even sometimes scratches the surface of the original's gothic macabre.

It's satirical, horrific, witty and terrorizing all rolled up into one movie It's satirical, horrific, witty, and terrorizing all roJJed up into one movie.

While having all of the best elements of the past "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies, these elements are forced together in a convoluted plot which features yet another theory of what powers that devilish dream devil This discredited the plot as well as complicating it enormo.usly. Too much new information about Freddy, played

by Robert Englund, was revealed which, if were originally true, would have been discoved many sequels ago.

Despite the plot faults, "Freddy's

It is as humorous, if not more, than any of the other sequels. In one of the opening scenes, Freddy makes his debut in the movie as the wicked witch from "The Wizard of Oz." It is as humorous, if not more, than any of the other sequels. In one of the opening scenes, Freddy makes his debut in the movie as the wicked witch from "The Wizard of Oz." A highly creative way was employed to kill Freddy and create a sense of finality in his death; this time he dies in Freddyvision 3-D. The script, by Rachel Talalay, who also directed the film as well as producing "The Dream Warriors" and "The Dream Master" sequels, features new twists to the series. These twists shift the image and fee~ of this movie from the past movies.

It comes off as a totally different movie, instead of just another sequel.

This movie takes place in a futuristic Springwood, the setting fortheseries. All but one of the children in the town are killed. That child manages to escape, but does not realize that he is allowed to do so

because Freddy lets him escape.

A horror is generated by the thought of this childless town and the near insanity of the images produced. One scene takes place at the town fair, which is almost deserted.

People at the fair start throwing rocks at teenagers when they arrive.

One couple, played by Roseanne Barr and husband Tom Arnold, see the teens. Roseanne immediately wants to take them home, proclaiming "We haven't had children in our house for a very long time. We'll hide you this time so he won't find you."

The husband, being the voice of doubt, replies, "You know they bring him." as he pulls his wife away from them.

Another image of horror in the movie is a scene where a teacher at the Springwood High School is teaching "Freddy 10 I" to an empty cJassroom with only two desks. He keeps repeating that there is a common denominator in Freddy's life, that it all has to do with "them" taking away his child.

The characters in this movie mostly come from a shelter in a town near Springwood.

After the last teen, played by Shon Greenblatt, escapes Springwood, he meets these people at the shelter.

Lisa Zane plays the teen's psychologist who happens to have a deep, dark past of her own.

Yaphet Kotto plays another therapist who believes heavily in dream therapy and controlling his dreams (of course). He is the idea man who figures out how to destroy Freddy ultimately.

Other celebrities, other than Roseanne Barr and her husband Tom Arnold, joined in for Freddy's last slash fest.

Johnny Depp, who was also in the original

"Nightmare on Elm Street," plays a reporter on a broken television set. Alice Cooper also made a brief cameo as Freddy Krueger's adopted father who abused Freddy while a kid.

Freddy has become such a popular idol in the past years, that it is almost impossible to fear him. Most people, in fact, cheer him on and .enjoy his mockery.

Freddy's killing scenes have certainly come of age. One person is killed by being sucked into a video game, of which, Freddy bas the "power glove."

The death scene, which is in Freddyvision 3-D, lasts around ten minutes. It is followed by a brief moment when one of the surviving characters declares "Freddy's dead!"

There is no final scene which shows Freddy laughing in the wind. Nor is there a final scene where someone is pondering Freddy's mere existence.

So, is it really the end?

Freddy does have a child, which opens up possibilities to resurrect the series.

Even if Freddy would not come back, the producers could open up the avenue for his child to go over the deep end and inherit Freddy's evil, as well as his horrid powers and thirst for blood.

Also, it is unlikely that they would kill the series if this movie pulls in a lot of money at the box office.

Remember: they said it was over after "The Dream Warriors," but Freddy's retirement only lasted a year that time.

Even though the 3-D finale seemed final there is always room for more Freddy, as w~ proven in the series past.

more PARK from 1 The closing coincided with the addition of a handicapped ramp to the Mansion which eliminated three parking spaces. According to Currie, when the calendar of activities was reviewed, the courtyard would have to be closed so often, that closing the courtyard permanently was the only option.

The residents of the Mansion now park in the Gr~ce Hall lot and behind Sacred Heart Hall. "Nobody is happy about having to walk from Grace Hall and behind Sacred Heart Hall with the

winter months coming up," Mansion Resident Assistant Sharlene Sephton said. The Mansion is the only dormitory without its own parking lot.

The employees of the Mansion offices must also find other parking. "I have been parking in the Mansion Courtyard for 14 years," Gretchen Dingee, secretary to the president, said.

According to Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs, "It was the only solution. It was causing friction between the students and staff. It wasn't worth it."

Disturbance 9/11-1:15 p.m.-Woodcrest third floor-Two females were Jocked in room 308 because of a jammed door. Director of security opened the door with the assistance of students in room.

Broken window 9/13-2:25a.m.-Lower level Xavier Hall-A student punched the window in the 130 quad as the result of a confrontation with his girlfriend. Student went to the hospital and was treated for lacerations.

Hit and run 9/14-10:35 p.m.-Sacred Heart Hall-A vehicle struck the rear doorof Sacred Heart Hall. Two anonymous phone calls to security gave a description of the car and an identification of person driving the vehicle. The suspect admitted to the incident and will pay restitution.

Driving wrong way on street 9/15-1 :55 a.m.-Residential Boulevard-A car travelling in the wrong direction on Residential Boulevard almost hit the security vehicle on patrol. Security stopped the driver who had a suspended license. Radnor police was called on the scene.

Broken plumbing connection 9/15-10:50 p.m.-Xavier Hall- A leaking hot water valve in Upper South laundry room set off the fire alarm. The fire alarm could not be reset. A fire watch was established from 12 a.m.-8 a.m. until physical plant was able to fol:the problem.

Fire alarm 9/16-House Six-l:46 a.m.-Fireworks ignited in House Six's mitlway and turned the fire alarm on. The fire alarm system was reset.

This prospect is especially daunting at night, according to Sephton. In response, Currie said, "We have encouraged students to take the time to call security."

According to Currie, "Security and Safety should address the girls' concerns regarding their questions about parking."

"My concerns are for the women here who have to park in the back lots, even with security," Sephton said. "It's not a matter of being lazy, it's a matter of being safe."

Many students fear for their safety while walking back and forth from the parking lots. "The Mansion is all girls. If it were guys it would be different," Renee Gambarcorta, senior and former resident of the Mansion, said.

Parking difficulty extends beyond the residents of the Mansion. "I have a first period class and I'm still parking at the back of the lot," Colleen Grossenbacher, senior commuter, said.

"Commuters have it hard enough as it is and then to get there and not find a

change this."

"I recommend that they attend the Parking Committee meeting and talk, not just complain," Catherine Caulfield, director of resident life, said. "Bring ideas and solutions," Caulfield said.

The Parking Committee meets the first and third Tuesday of every month at I 2:30p.m., in the Student Services Conference Room.

"I think that it would be apparent that the new director of security will be bringing many changes to the areas that he is responsible for, including the Parking Committee," Dr.Robert Bonfiglio, vicepresident of student affairs, said.

Director of Security and Safety, Rich Kralle, promises change. On Thursday, Sept. 5, Kralle accompanied Bonfiglio, Caulfield, R.A. 's Sephton and Lea Brundin, Physical Plant Assistant Director Michael Troupe and junior Juliann Dunn on a safety tour of campus. Areas in need of improvement, such as lightsand plant overgrowth, were pointed

According to Dale, "We did a survey last year for the Enrollment Committee.

One of the gripes was that the residents of the houses would drive to the cafeteria or to class and park in the lots." Dale said, "That's not fair."

Helene C. Hennigan, language department chairperson, also addressed this issue. "This makes fewer spaces for students and staff who have to come in," Hennigan said. "We need more parking facilities," Hennigan said.

"The students have to realize that they're not being fair to their fellow students," Dale said. "Only the students can

out, according to Sephton.

Any student who parks in a nondesignated spot, such as on the grass, will be issued a ticket upon the first offense and a tow warning upon the second. The vehicle will be towed at the owner's expense upon a third violation.

Also, a registration ticket must be on every vehicle by Sept. 18, or a ticket will be issued. Kralle is enforcing these regulations and the fines which accompany them.

Kralle, whoisthecommittee'schairman, says he will address all concerns to the Parking Committee, promising that the outcome "will be fair across the board for everyone."

Homecoming Nominees for 1991 "I would like to improve the spirit of Cabrini. I think of who founded this school, it was Mother Cabrini. There is so much to know about Mother Cabrini, she was a wonderful woman - she was incredible!

You think about Mother Cabrini Feast Day and the different activities that go on that day. I would love for that day to go over as a big success. I hope people who do get involved realize what exactly Cabrini is and who exactly founded this school.

We can work from there and let everything else filter in like athletics and other extracurricular adivities. "

Editor's note: The following photos are of the 1991 homecoming court. Each senior nominee was asked a question and their response is hs1edbeside their photo. The question was as follows: If you were to change Cabrini, how would you change it 10 improve tt?

Mary Shimkus

"I'm lucky to be a part of this thing called the Cabrini community. I've met so many different people. It's what makes Cabrini such a great college. Sometimes, though, I have a problem understanding why some students - and very few of them - will Judge others without good reason. Maybe because this person hangs out with a certain person, therefore he is an idiot? Why can't we all be friends or at least give it a shot without being so judgmental? This may be unrealistic in the real world, but we are on such a small campus and I see no reason why we can't all give it a try."

Charlie Waterfall

"I would hope that the community would give more acknowledgment and support to the athletic programs. I don't think they're appreciated as much by the whole campus as they should be.

This is shown by attendance and even support by the administration towards the athletic department in general.·

"I for one love Cabrini and love everything that was done for me, so I've given a lot back in return. I just wish more people had the same feeling because then I think the attitude on campus might be different.·

" The one thing I would like to change are the sterotypes. I'd like people to be ab(e to overcome the clicks and sterotypes of each other and get behind the barriers. Just get to know each other. "

"I would expand the sports program. If you play sports, your involved in it, if not, people cheer for sports. "

Don't be so tight, because these four years are suppose to be the best years of your life. If you get written up every night, that's not fun. There's a happy medium in there somewhere where Cabrini's on the lower side rather than the Matthew Hodlofski higher side."

An unforgettable day for senior Liz Miller was December 27, 1990. This was the day Miller received the phone call to participate in Operation Desert Storm. While Cabrini students were preparing to return for their second semester, Miller was preparing to spend most of her semester in Saudi Arabia.

Miller departed from the United States on Jan. 16 and after spending four months participating in active duty, she returned on May 6, having seen first-hand the side effects of the war.

Miller's mother, Peggy, was the one who told her about the phone call. Miller said that when she was informed by her mother, she thought it was a joke.

"I was very frightened, but I called my unit and went to do what I had to do," Miller said.

Miller and her unit arrived in Saudi Arabia approximately 12 hours before the war officially broke out.

Miller was placed in a hospital, where she was to remain for the next three months. It was here that she saw patients and aided them with the training she has received from the Army Reserves.

"I saw everything from malnourishment and dehydration to lacerations and missing limbs," Miller said.

The next two to three weeks proved to be very tiring for Miller. She was working 12 hour shifts everyday. "My day consisted of going to work for 12 hours, getting something to eat and then sleeping, because by the end of the day you were just so tired," Miller said.

After the three week period, the 12 hour shifts were reduced to six -hour shifts and each rotated around the hospital to the different wards.

Miller said that they dealt with a lot of Iraqi patients and this proved to be very frustrating at times even though they had a translator.

Senior Liz Miller served the United States in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm from Jan. 16 to May 6, 1991.

Miller said there were quite a few days when they all sat around in a MOPP suit.

This is a suit that is somewhat similar to a flame retardant suit but is lined with charcoal. The charcoal lining prevents any type of chemical from seeping into the blood stream.

Along with the suit, each soldier had to wear rubber boots, gloves and a mask. This was to be worn every time the alarm sounded.

One month before her return home, Miller was placed on detail. This consisted of taking down tents and answering any police

calls.

"There were days that seemed scarier than others because sometimes you thought you just might not ever be going home," Miller said.

"I also became much more appreciative of the United States and our way ofliving. Over there the environment is very primitive," Miller said.

Miller is now one semester behind and will be graduating in December 1992. She plans to go on active duty right after her graduation date.

New ideas, new items,new prices

by Megan Flanigan staff writer

You hear the sound of the cash register door opening and see students rushing to buy or return their books for the new semester.

This is nothing new for the bookstore, but if you take time to look around you would see much new merchandise.

Jennifer Stevens, bookstore manager, stocked the store with new fads and fashions to start the semester. Stevens, a fine arts major in college used her background to help design and create new ideas for the clothes and items available. Distributors also

Veronica McNamee, junior, said the bookstore has a variety of colors and styles.

McNamee said that she liked wearing the clothes because they are cute and comfortable. " I'm advertising for the school at the same time," McNamee said.

In regard to students actually wearing bookstore apparel, McNamee said she has noticed a big change recently in comparison with past years. " Every time you tum around, people are wearing the new clothes," McNamee said.

Junior Adrianne Bruce said," You can't get Cabrini clothes anywhere else. That's why I buy and I want to show it off."

- Tara Monte, senior came to give ideas and show samples of what other schools are doing.

Some things to look for on the racks and on the shelves are used books mixed in with the new, to cut down on some of the costs for students. There are a variety of new clothes, afghans, license plate frames and cards for every occasion.

Students can pick a fabric through a catalog and choose their own designs for their own personal sweatshirt. ''There will be some restrictions," Stevens said.

It is too early in the semester to say what the hottest selling items are. Stevens hoped that the students will buy something if they have some credit left on their accounts.

Stevens said she tries to bring in items that students will want. " I like the clothes ~o study in and bum around in. It's a conversation pi~ and makes peopleasfc 'what's that?"' senior Tara Monte said.

the bookstore, said that it is becoming environmentally conscience this semester. By December, the bookstore hopes to have canvas shoulder strap bags as replacements for the plastic bags.

The bags will be sold for $ 2.50. When students want to buy something, they should bring the bag with them to put purchased items in. There will also be a competition for what design should be put on the bags.

Recycling boxes are also available in the bookstore for paper and cans. Stevens hopes the students will use these boxes and encourages them to buy them for their house or dorm. The boxes are inexpensive and according to Stevens, are a good investment.

Stevens will be leaving her position as bookstore manager on Sept. 27 to get married.

First-yearwomen invadeXavier

by Tara Kegel

staff writer First- year women are now living among the upperclassmen in Xavier Hall. There are approximately 72 first-year resident women.

Of that 72, 11 reside in Xavier.

This integration of first-year students stems from issues raised in last year's Town Meetings. "The mixing of classes creates a smooth transition for the freshmen and provides them with role models," Resident Life Director, Catherine Caulfield said.

Resident Assistants in Xavier agree with the "role model" theory. "The girls are getting along wonderfully. Personally, I think the integration was a fantastic idea," junior Karen Bell said.

The first-year women in Xavier are happy with the living arrangements as well. However, they have reasons of their own.

First-year student Libby Bellwoar said,"I like living in Xavier because I find out where the parties are and I get to meet the men."

"The men lighten and set the mood," firstyear student Kristine Sweeny said.

The girls all said that they benefit through living in Xavier but, not because of the "role model" theory.

"The guys in Xavier go out of their way to

introduce themselves to us, the girls don't," first-year student Kathleen Foto said.

"I don't know any upperclassmen girls.

The only upperclassmen I know are guys," first-year student Tai Imburgia said.

Junior Krista Milito said that the integration is unfortunate for the sophomore residents still living in Woodcrest. "After a year living within Woodcrest walls, you look forward to living somewhere different," Milito said. Milito also said that the integration takes away from the "bonding" which takes place between first-year students.

"In Woodcrest, as freshmen, we all became very close. It was comfortable," junior Amy Tatum said.

Sophomore student Donna Cipolla said she was glad she lived in Woodcrest her first year. "In Woodcrest, we got to bond. We became extremely close and our class felt unified," Cipolla said.

The first-year women living in W oodcrest are also happy with the living arrangements.

They like the privacy which Woodcrest provides.

"It's nice to party in Xavier, but I like that I can return to my room where it's quiet," first-year student Kristin Kennedy said.

As far as ~eeting the men on campus, first-year student Sally Bomberger said, "The men can venture over here."

Full-time enrollment drops 10 percent

by Patricia Daley staff writer A JO percent drop in full-time undergraduate enrollment is having a negative effect on the college budget, despite strong enrollment in continuing education and graduate studies.

Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, said that there were fewer full time students, approximfitely 740 down from 826 last year, but also recognizes the increase in the other programs. With a smaller student body, Gardner said, ''There are benefits in housing. Students

and faculty seem to be more supportive of each other and those around them," Gardner said.

With the diminishing student body, how is the budget being affected? "It will be tight,"John Barclay, chief financial officer , said. Barclay hopes thatthere won't be as many cuts as there have been for the past several years. Any extra money is being put towards maintaining sports and extra-curricular activities and general maintenance (such as the new roof on Sacred Heart Hall), Barclay said.

Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice president for academic affairs, said that if the offices "reduce expenditures

IOpercent" things should be okay.

Many conferences attended in the past by faculty and staff will have to be abandoned and classes with few students will have to be cancelled from the schedule more easily.

Gardner does not see a problem when it comes to the budget either.

It hasn't really had much of an impact on the admissions office.

"We'll just have to plan carefully and use the budget most wisely."

Off-setting the drop in full-time undergraduate enrol1ment were strong enrollments in the graduate program, continuing education and the new Cabrini Organizational Management Program (COMP).

COMP is designed for the fulltime employee, parent and spouse who want to return to college and earn a degree. As of now, there are 48 students separated into three smaller groups to provide a more ideal learning environment. It is predicted by Biller to have up to 64 full-time students by October.

Continuing Education is designed for the part-time students who take under 12 credits. Last year, Cabrini served 440 continuing education students. This year the numbers remained close.

Graduate studies remain to be an important part of Cabrini College's community. An increase in gradu-

ate students make up the growing population, as compared to the 207 students last year. Since 1982, graduate studies has increased 600 percent, Bill er said.

The fact remains that there was a drop in enrollment this semester. A reason for this is the shortage of 18-year-olds, according to demographics and the 15 percent increase in tuition.

"Financial aid was increased 30 percent," Barclay said. In addition, advertising was increased in radio and publications towards profile or ideal, students.

Preparing graduate students for certification

by Joann Carbone staff writer The Graduate Studies department received in May the approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Education for a Reading Specialist Certification Program. It is expected to begin later this year.

Dr. Martha Waring-Chaffee, program director and assistant professor in the graduate studies department, said that "children have the right to feel successful and joyful through literature.

"Children need to be exposed to quality literature," Waring-Chaffee said.

The graduate program prepares the student to be a literary specialist in many areas. Such areas include teaching in a public or parochial school, private tutoring, working in daycare publishing and organizing an adult literacy course.

Dr. Jack McGovern, director of the graduate studies department, said that the program "looks at the problem of illiteracy and is de-

signed to prepare people to deal with it."

McGovern said that the program can help everyone. According to McGovern, a math student is more knowledgeable and more successful when reading and writing a math problem if his/her reading skills are at a higher level.

To be certified, the student must first successfully complete six core courses and one elective. If the student has never taught before they are required to take four pre-requisite courses.

The Reading Specialist Certification Program stresses the interrelation of reading and the communication arts, the ability to make literature the center of literacy instruction and how to make a teacher a researcher of their own craft.

The response to the new program has been well-received. The reason for this, according to Waring-Chaffee, is because it is "so unique from other programs in the area."

Even though the response is overwhelming, space is limited.

In last's week article on 'Seiler's Food Service Contract Renewed,' Director of Food Service Management Eric Dathe's name was misspelled. The correct spelling is how it appears above. ~oquitur also listed Dr. Robert Bonf1:,glio's position as vice president of academic affairs in the same article. It should have appeared as vice president of student affairs.

Dr. Martha Waring-Chaffee Only 25 students are admitted to the program each semester.

"We will be sure to keep quality in the program," McGovern said, "We want to be cautious. Cabrini has an excellent reputation as being a place for training teachers."

The program has also reached undergraduate education majors.

"The program would definitely make me stay here at Cabrini for getting my bachelor's and master's degree," Nina Charlier, sophomore, said.

Monitoring system implemented in the cafeteria; problems to be fixed

by Belinda Desher staff writer Just last year, Cabrini students flashed their I.D. cards to veteran cafeteria monitor, Frances Skinner. Now they have to wait in line to have a bar code on their card scanned before entering.

Seiler's Dining Service Management installed an electronic scanner to record the number of students dining in the cafeteria.

Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Robert Bonfiglio said, "The purpose of the scanner is to limit access to the cafe to only those [students] who paid for board."

According to Bonfiglio, Seiler's receives the vast majority of the profits generated fromthe cafeteria, not Cabrini.

Although the new scanners record the number of residents who eat each week, students cannot expect to receive a refund for the total amount of missed meals at the end of theyear. The scanner does not record an individual's presence. Rather, it records a singular, overall number of how many

students are present at each meal.

Meal tickets are available for commuters.

Ten lunches cost $25. Commuter meal tickets are not tallied on the scanner.

Eric Dathe, director of food service managemnt, was unavailable to comment on this matter as he is on vacation.

Assistant Director Donna Beck said that the scanner assists in shaping a budget as well as planning for the quantity needed for preparing meals.

Beck added that the scanner helps prevent people from sneaking into the cafeteria with false claims that their I.D. was accidentally left in their room.

"When students see that people coming in are not paying, they get mad. This keeps everything fair," Beck said. However, she admits there are still some "bugs" that need to be worked out.

John Barclay, chief financial officer, said that theWigwam, which has been suffering financial difficulty over the last few years, will also be controlled by Seiler's in the hopes that itwill break even.

A scanner will also be installed in the

'The purpose of ·the scanner is to limit access to the cafeteria only to those students who paid for board' -Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student affairs

Wigwam for the resident students to aid in convenienceand to "ensure security only to students who paid for a meal ticket." Barclay added, "If a sports team gets back at 7:15, they can have dinner in the Wigwam."

Once the scanner is installed, students

who have class and athletes returning from away games can make arrangements to eat in the Wigwam, instead of the cafeteria if there is a schedule conflict. Seiler's will also get the majority of these profits.

For Seiler's the benefit of the scanner is that it will give a more accurate report on the number of students eating each meal.

Seiler's knows from the tabulations of the scanner that if only 100 of 400 residents eat dinner on campus each night, they will only prepare meals for a few over that {oo.

Frances Skinner has been greeting hungry students and faculty for 10 years and is real! y pleased. "I think it's a big help," Skinner said.

"I had trouble in the beginning because Mary Shimkus' name kept appearing until we got it adjusted."

Danielle Harris, sophomore, monitors the cafeteria during dinner and finds the scanner less accurate. "It was much easier to click people," she said.

Harris would prefer to have a list to refer to when someone comes in without an I.D. because she' says, "This machine is very temperamental."

Presidential Search procedures detailea

by Dawn Timbario Managing Editor The second meeting of the Presidental Search Committee met on Wednesday, Sept.

11 in an on-going effort to work towards selecting the next president of the college.

Thirteen applications have been submitted to the committee since the position was advertised in The Chronicle of Higher Education in the first week of September.

The ad asked for qualified candidates ex emplifying a commitment to educational pursuits and a governing figure interested in planning for the College's future. It also called for someone possessing administrative and managerial talents and the ability to plan for the college's future.

Literature has been sent to approximately 510 colleges and universities belonging to the Middle States Association of Schools.

The Association of Governing Boards has sent the committee a list of all colleges in the area and these schools will be sent literature, also.

At the initial stage, when candidates submit their applications, they are sent the Peterson's review of the collegP- along with the Cabrini at a Glance flyer. If the individual wishes to pursue the candidacy, they are sent the college viewbook and catalog along with various brochures and publications that would give them a flavor for the college.

Only the finalists will receive periodic review reports of the institution and other important financial planning infonnation.

Committee member Dr. Margaret Reher, professor of religion, had to resign from her position as faculty representative due to an injury sustained at the end of last semester.

vacant postion and Andrew Litavec, assistant professor of education, was elected.· The committee will reconvene on Oct. 22 and 23 for the reading of resumes and the selection of semi-finalists.

Its long-range plans include conducting semi-finalist interviews at an undisclosed off-campus site in mid-November. Here, the committee will meet the approximately 20 candidates selected from the larger pool of applicants to become the next president.

Once the selection of candidates is narrowed down to a handful, they will be invited to visit the college community in January.

Final checks on the finalists will be made in late January and early February.

The committe will present its recommendations to the Board of Trustees in mid-February and the selection of the next president will be made by the board on March 1, 1992.

This is a listing of all the procedures and plans of the committee. The applications are considered confidential and only available to committee members.

Speaking of soccer, it's time to applaud the team's on-field exploits. The soccer team is strong from top to bottom. "Pickle" Conner is as good as they come.

There is no doubt about the skills of junior scoring-machine Glen Jaskelewicz, but what about the play of newcomer Chris Schreiner?

He has made it much easier for Jaskelewicz.

Please don't forget juniors Matt Capone, Matt Schlegelmilch, and Eric Burke. They don't put up big scoring numbers, but the team does not win without them. * * * * * * * * * * The field hockey and women's volleyball teams have new coaches this year. They are both well liked by the players, but time and

victories will be used as a barometer for their success.

Speaking of the field hockey team, they will be the featured attraction at Parent's Weekend this year. It will be an excellent chance for the Cabrini community to chart their progress from last season.

Away from home The soccer team will be spending that Saturday in Virginia. That's always a nice place to spend Parent's Weekend. I applaud the notion of equal oppurtunity, but we must give the people what they want to see and that is the boys with nicknames home on that weekend.

A summer to think It was a long summer for me as I spent most of it on a stationary bike. I did learn that you don't have to move to get somewhere.

During this time I did some thinking and I came up with some things I'll miss from last year and some things I want to see this year.

l'UMISS * John O'Hare with the left. * Barb Milligan for three. * My left knee. * Kathleen Rowan spiking. * Steve Buividas striking. * Hines from dowqtown * Barnes getting down low. *FINN * Beer in Xavier ... legally * Randall Cunningham * 27 l up until 5 a.m.

"Rates for athletic equipment run high, so we have to explore the possibilities and purchase what is most beneficial to the colJege community," Dzik said.

"We could spend the entire amount on a StairMaster or we can spread the money out a bit. We don't want to throw away good money on equipment that won't be beneficial ·to alJ. However, we do want to make quality purchases," Dzik said.

According to Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice-president of student affairs, Monaco received very little help from the student services office.

"In fact. we learned of Daniel's project when money started arriving," Bonfiglio said. "The College contacted Dan and explained the proper method of solicting for funding."

Although Bonfiglio was unaware of the project early on, he believes it's "a wonderful idea."

"Danny and Mr. Monaco deserve a lot of credit."

Dzik also praises Monaco's initiative. "I would support future fundraisers to purchase more equipment," he said.

Bonfiglio hopes that any future projects would be coordinated with the College offices. "The College

has offices to coordinate these fundraisers," Bonfiglio said.

Mary Ellen Herzog, director of the development office, has been orchestrating the financial end of the project since May, when Anthony Brocchi, former vice-president of institutional advancement, resigned.

Brocchi hopes the project continues to bring funds to the school, and stresses that "any initiative that students take is positive. Anyone willing to do something for the school should be encouraged," Brocchi said.

However, Brocchi echoes Bonfiglio's stance on moving through the proper channels of the College's resources. "The College

"Involvement of new groups of friends in the College on a large or small scale increases the chance of raising dollars," Brocchi said.

Morre, of Club LaMaison, is also interested in designing the layout of the new equipment in _theweight room. According to Morre, a school the size of Cabrini could benefit from a modern and well-keptweight room.

Morre suggests charging a small fee for membership and using the funds to better the conditions of the weight room. Morre said eventually the conditions would be improved enough to use the money in other ways beneficial to the school.

O'Hara leads Lady Cavs

by Amy Wechsler staff writer The field hockey team has been preparing for its season for quite some time now and even with the season underway it still has much work to do.

Witha new coach, Joan Quinn, and nine new players out of the 15 total on the team, they have their work cut out for themselves.

One player who bas stood out as a leader within this relatively young team is junior Veronica O'Hora.

There are only six returning players from last year. That, along with a new coach, makes getting used to being on the field with each other, one of hardest parts of the season right now.

According to O'Hora, the team is getting accustomed to working with each other with every game. 'The most important thing for us is to get used to playing with each other," O'Hora said.

The first-year students on the team look to O'Hora for guidance and support during practice and the games.

Tammy Pfeiffenberger, firstyear student, believes that 0 'Hora is there for every member of the team. "When a game is over, she is the first to speak up with suggestions," Pfeiffenberger said.

O'Hora is always helping members of the team with techniques during practice and encouragement on the field during the games, according to Pfeiff en berger.

Sue Lafferty, first year student, believes O'Hora is one of the best players on defense.

Junior Veronica O'Hara is looked to by the young Lady Cavs for leadership.

"She is always back there with the goalie," Lafferty said.

Co-captain Christine Costigan, junior, says it is hard for O 'Hora to play the position she does because so much of the blame is put on her wlien the opposing team scores on their goal. "She is a tough player," Costigan said. "I have no worries when she is on the field.''

Charlyne Adams, sophomore, feels that O'Hora is one of the key players on the team. O'Hora communicates what is happening on the field to the rest of the players, according to Adams.

"She has a better look of the

field," Adams said. "She tells you what needs to be done on the field."

O'Hora, an education major, not only plays field hockey but also runs cross country. She said however, that field hockey is her favorite sport. O'Hora is entering her ninth year of playing field hockey, beginning in grade school and through her years at Lower Merion High School.

The field hockey team still has a long season ahead of it but O'Hora is optimistic. O'Hora said that as long as the team continues to work together, the members will work their way to a winning season.

Lady Cavs. split 2-game series

by Brendan Noone staff writer Experience is the key element to any successful sport team, especialJy with this year's Lady Cavs tennis team. Captain Susie Detrick, along with returning players Mary Ann Walker and Celeste Eschbach, insure the needed advantage of experience to this young team.

Coach Reggie Day has a fine list of tennis weapons in his arsenal.

Day has had the leisure of shuffling the line-ups with effectiveness. "We have four players that can play number one," Day said. "For a coach that is a good thing to have."

In Wednesday's match against

ImrnaculataCollege, the rotation was tested by placing Mary Ann Walker in the number one hole

against Linda Goles.

Walker showed "placement, power and touch," Day said, as she stormed back from a 6- 7 tie-breaker loss, to an impressive 6-4, 6-2 victory.

After the match, Walker said she felt the key to this year's tennis season is, "I am more confident because of my experience with college tennis."

The Cavs posted a 5-0 shutout against Immaculata and faced the women of Cedar Crest College on Thursday. The match started off promising with two quick wins.

Walker defeated #3 Kristen Scmuelsen 6- l, 6-0 and Detrick also won in straight sets against #2 seed Jayne Gano 6-l, 6-2.

Lady Cavs finish second

by Bob Healey

Sports Editor What a difference six months make. In the Spring, because of budget problems, the women's volleyball team faced termination. This year, however, under the tutelage of first-year coach Jim Harrigan, the team is alive playing with confidence.

The Lady Cavs upped its season record to 4-2 following this weekend's second-place finish in the Rosemont College Volleyball Tournament.

The tournament consisted of eight teams split into two, fourteam pools. The Lady Cavs won

its pool by defeating Rosemont College 2-1 (15-13, 8-15, 16-14).

Chestnut Hill College was the next to fall victim to the Lady Cavs by the same score (15-7, 3-15, 1511).

Cabrini finished its sweep of the pool by defeating North Hampton CommunityCollege2-0(15-13, 151).

The semi-final match-up pitted Cabrini against Harcum Junior College. The Lady Cavs were victorious 2-0 (15-11, 15-8).

Because the Lady Cavs defeated Harcum in such a short amount of time, the team had to sit and wait to see whom they would meet in the championship match.

According to Harrigan, it (the

layoff) contributed to the Lady Cavs defeat. "The only thing I would have changed was the layoff between the semifinals and the finals."

The Lady Cavs fell in defeat to Northeast Christian College 2-0 (152, 15-11). Harrigan felt the team did not get back the cohesiveness it possessed until the second set of the match.

Harrigan expressed satisfaction with the play of all of the women.

"Everybody contributed whatever their role was for that day," he said.

Harrigan did express some concern because the team trailed in every set except two. However, he was pleased that the women were able to remain focused and keep its concentration.

The Bambino Reincarnated Brewers reserve infielder Jim Gantner homered on Sept.3 to end the longest, active homerless at bat streak (1,762). It was Gantner's initial homer since 1987. He then homered three days later for his 46th. With Gantner's sudden surge of power, he now lies only 668 <lingersshort of Babe Ruth.

The Beast Of The East The Big East finally has football conference with such powerhouses as Boston College, Rutgers and Temple. Also in the conference is Miami, West Virginia, Syracuse, Virginia and Pittsburgh. The full round-robin schedule will not take effect until 1993. Until ~hen, the champion of the conference will be determined by the polls.

Miami And Money Out of the top five highest paid quarterbacks in the National Football League, two of them attended Miami University (Jim Kelly and Bernie Kosar). One of them plays for the Miami Dolphins (Dan Marino) and the other two play for the 49ers (Joe Montana and Steve Young).

Steve Young alone owns a $13.19 million contract, which is peanuts compared to his $45 million contract with the Los Angeles Express of the now defunct USFL. The three Miami quarterbacks currently have a contract that cumulatively falls $3 million short of Young's contract with the Express.

Shula Goes For 300 Miami Dolphin head coach Don Shula will go for his 300th career victory this weekend versus Green Bay. Shula, 61, is in his 29th year of coaching. He also coached the Baltimore Colts before finding a home in Miami.

One interesting statistic is that 17 of the league's 28 teams have yet to achieve its 300th victory as a franchise. Shula trails only George Halas in career victories (325).

Bubble Gum Depreciation The Topps Company, Inc., has announced that it will no longer pack bubble gum with its baseball cards. The company said the gum sometimes stains the cards and can depreciate its value.

Ralph Kiner II On ESPN, college football commentator Lee Corso pulled a Kinerism while discussing the Unversity ofHawaii's poor record on the mainland.

"Hawaii doesn't win many games in the United States."

Weightroomreceives fl:lnds

staff writer Sophomore Dan Monaco and his father, Luigi Monaco have solicited for donations in hopes of rejuvenating Cabrini's weight room.

The College has received as much as $1,500 from doctors whom Mr. Monaco contacted in hopes of receiving donations.

Late last spring, Dan Monaco, while soliciting for funds, contacted a number of fitness companies. "The fitness companies were not interested in donating," Monaco said. "That's when my father wrote letters to about 10 or 12 doctors, asking for contributions," Monaco said.

Athletic Director John Dzik ,has been aware of the project since late spring, although he has not yet discussed it with Dan since classes have resumed this Fall.

According to Dzik, he and Monaco are in contact with the general manager of Club LaMaison, Howard Morre. "We are looking into getting some
