The two ideas do not always coincide.

Institutional printing centralizes the budgets for the departments of Admissions, Continuing Education, Graduate Studies and COMP (Cabrini Organizational Management Program). The publicity investment for August cost nearly $25,000 to keep the name of Cabrini College fresh in prospective students' memories. When compared to the spending capacities of other colleges and universities having hundreds of thousands of dollars at their disposal, Cabrini is striving to compete, according to Nancy Gardner, director of admissions.

Villanova has had to make a 7 percent increase in their advertising expenditures due to an increase in print and radio costs.

The budget jumped from $94,000 last year to the present $100,000 - $104,000. Several of the different divisions of the university which handle their own publicity, have cut back with minor budget slashings, according to Clem Lachowicz, Villanova's advertising representative.

St. Joseph's University is currently managing $200,000 in advertising expenditures.

The bulk of the expense is incorporated into the print and radio publicity. Other costs include the annual report and alumni newsletters.

Why the all the red tape?

Weekend nights. You know the routine. If you're over 21, you hit the Tavern or Popcorns. If your under 21, you hunker down in some room with a few cases and two dozen of your closest friends and pray an R.A. doesn't hear you.

Although you may not know it, there is an alternative to these two monotonous choices. Ifs called a legal party, but they're few and far between. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest one is probably all the bureaucratic red tape that involves throwing a legal party. Anyone who attended Sunday's party seminar or has thrown a party would think the administration is actually trying to prevent legal parties with all their regulations.

Alot of the regulations the administration imposes are valid. However, there are quite a few rules that seem to be useless, and in some cases downright dangerous.

First and foremost is the "all parties end by 1 a.m." rule. If the purpose of a legal party is to keep drunk drivers on campus and off the road, why end parties at one, thereby giving students the chance to make one last run to the Tavern. Why not just let the parties run until 2 a.m.?

Another question we have is why must anyone who wants to drink with friends on campus go through all the hassles of hosting a legal party. If a group of 21-year-olds want to get together and have a few drinks on campus, why must they sneak around like they 're doing something wrong? They can drink legally in other places, including their dorms but they still get hassled by resident life.

However, the hassles don't end once a party is approved. The rules governing running a party are almost just as confounding. For example, bartenders and I.D. checkers need only be 18 in Pennsylvania. Why must they be 21 on campus? Wouldn't it be more logical to have sober people working the door than those of age to drink? Another problem we have is the one beer, per person, per hour rule. Medically speaking, any one over 120 lbs., can probably drink more than one beer an hour and remain sober. Besides, every party is different. One night you could have a group of people who would get drunk on 3 or 4 beers, and the next you could have people who could drink a six pack or more before they began to show any sign of inebriation There are always going to be people who have little or no tolerence for alcohol. Why use their standards to set the standards for the whole school? There is a difference between a person being legally drunk, or how the alcohol affects them?

All we 're asking is why must the administration make it so difficult to host a legal party on campus? Don't they realize that if there were more legal parties, they'd have less problems with illegal ones? And with legal parties providing the alcohol, maybe students would be more inclined to attend the non-alcoholic events. show; Napalm Sunday for the same, although only about 20 or so people stayed for their performance.

Escapefromthe everyday kimberly keck assistant - news editor

In July's sticky weather, 2-yearold MaryWhite clenched tightly to her stroller as her 14-year-old brother, John, whirled her around outside the family's rundown Camden apartment for the fourth consecutive time. A trail of screaming children yelling "My tum next," closely followed behind.

On their journey around the court of the five-building complex, the brother and sister passed a broken swing set and a sandbox, not filled with sand but trash and shattered glass.

When I questioned John why he was doing this he replied, "There's nothing else to do." He said he wants to play baseball, but pointing to a street filled with cars, two supported by crates because the wheels were stolen, said "there's no where to go."

I met John and Mary while accompanying a photographer on an assignment for the newspaper I worked for this summer.

An assignment my editors did not want me to pursue because it was on Mickle Street which they agreed was "the worst part of Camden."

I'm sure my superior's oppositions were backed by concern for my general welfare or fear of a lawsuit. Either reason reminds me ofthe protection people seek from being exposed to

such severely poor living conditions.

What are we protecting ourselves from?

A few weeks later, the answer smacked me in the face.

While on a story assignment, two large males charged toward my car as I stopped at a red light on Cooper Street in Camden.

One of them wrapped their hands around my window, dangling a clearbag with white powder and shouted, "You 're getting high with me. Get out now."

With complete disregard for opposing traffic, I thrusted my foot on the gas pedal and sailed through the red light. Safe.

Mixed emotions of fear, shock and annoyance rushed through my mind while trying to drive and calm myself.

The thought of these hoodlums attempting to violate my privacy couldn't escape my mind.

It was so easy for these two men aimlessly walking down the street to invade and destroy my life.

I was lucky. I was only a visitor and don't have to ever go back. I'm protected.

But what about John and Mary?

Who is going to protect them from the blatant violence?

Seeking protection and attempting to isolate isn't the solution. Did the hoodlums start out like John and Mary, tangled within a drug infested community attempting to stay out of trouble and trying to find better things to do than racing strollers?

Gorbachev and the fall of Communism USSR's new openness: Glasnost

by Dr. Joseph J. Romano If it is true that the rise and spread of communism has been like a sudden summer storm rumbling across history's sky, then the disintegration of this political ideology, in less than two years, a single bolt of lightning.

The central figure in this sudden demise of the USSR is Mikhail Gorbachev, named by his communist cohorts in 1985 as president of the Soviet Union and chairman of the communist patty. Gorbachev was almost an instant hit with the western world . He stood in marked contrast to his stodgy and threatening predecessors.

Gorbachev admits USSR problems Almost immediately, Gorbachev announced a two-fold plan aimed at revitalizing the USSR. First of all, there was going to be PERESTROIKA, a restructuring of the moribund soviet economy. In his 1987 book ("Perestroika," Harper Row), Gorbachev first sings the well-worn praises of the great intellectual and material resources of the Soviet Union.

Unlike his predecessors, however, he publicly admits that this great Union has major problems. He presents the absurdity of a great industrial and agricultural power having to import millions of tons of grain to feed the cows. He ponders out loud and in front of the world, how is it that Soviet rockets can fly to Venus, but not produce quality appliances for Soviet households. Perestroika was going to eliminate the waste and inefficiency in the economy.

Gorbachev was presenting himself as a new Soviet leader more interested in reforming the Union's economy rather than appearing as a military threat. The peaceful coexistence of the two superpowers is the clear message to the "people of the United States."

On the home front, there was a more implicit warning to content and complacent bureaucrats that it was time to start earning your privileges. By tightening the screws on the 'privileged elite, he would looseu the wheels of an immobilized economy- or so he thought.

more letters from 2 were approved for four halves and no more.

We tried desperately to rectify this situation but to no avail. The third minor disappointment was the wholesale evaporation once the kegs were kicked. That was a sad commentary about student life on the 110 rolling acres. You'll attend functions that have alcohol but once that's gone, so are you.

That's OK though. You are all adults and you paid your $5 so you can do what you want.

Just don't complain about not having enough on-cainpus events. Your credibility has been stretched by this type of behavior. You 're going to have to work harder to convince the administration that you want entertainment and not just kegs.

I was also sad to see the maturity level of the person who pulled the fire alarm and got security all uptight. I'm sure we needed an excuse for more crackdowns.

The students who snuck in and the people with the fake "W" stamps were another disappointment. Not only did you insult my intelligence using a different color marker but you also showed me an "M" instead of a "W".

The biggest personal disappointment was the lack of support by certain members of the station• s senior staff. By not showing up at 8 p.m., when I could have used your help or sticking around after 1 a.m., when there was clean-up to be done, you not only let me

The companion term to perestroika was the soon-to-be-buzz-word, GLASNOST, an openness that would encourage the spread of frank and truthful information about the way things really are. He seems to hold the honest conviction that an unhindered flow of information will inevitably lead to a constructive criticism and a 'postive swing back to a prosperous economy.

A careful reading of Gorbachev's 1987 book will reveal that this energetic leader never intended anything more than a "kinder and gentler" brand of the same old communist control of the past. Citing Lenin as his source, Gorbachev calls Perestroika a "revolution from above," in which the state authorities will initiate the necessary economic changes needed. Ordinary citizens will surely be inspired to work with greater zeal when they see the changes in their leaders.

By opening the flow of information, party leaders -especially recalcitrant ones- will

'By opening the flow of information, party leaders especially recalcitrant oneswi II hear the critical voices of the people and be quick to implement changes from above.'

-Dr. Joseph Romano, chair, philosophy department

not only within the soviet itself but almost globaly; and, the precarious day-to-day situation in which the future of millions of people hang in the balance. Gorbachev's new-look communism became a runaway train that was beyond his control: Reckless abandon was ultimately reached with the failed Crimean coup attempt:

Communism becomes run-away train Given a final chanceto gauge the people• s bitter resentment toward the party, Gorbachev caught the caboose and swung aboard. Clearly, Gorbachev had not reckoned with the strong and passionate national feelings of the ethnic republics. Nor did he appreciate the immense hostility felt by most towards the party that had ruled so callously for so many years. Not until old-guard party bureaucrats tried to remove him from power and were stared down by the people who rallied around Boris Yeltsin, did Gorbachev renounce his efforts to effect change from within the communist party.

With unintended irony, he wrote in 1987, "There is a term in historical science and also in political vocabulary: 'revolution from above'. There have been quite a few such revolutions in history. But they should not be confused with coups d'etat and palace revolutions. What is meant is this: revolutionary changes implemented on the initiative of the authorities themselves ... started on the Communist Party's initiative. The Party is strong and bold enough to work out a new policy. It has proved capable of heading and launching the process of renewal of society."

Gorbachev quits Communist party hear the critical voices of the people and be quick to implement the changes from above.

Hadn't Lenin said "more light! let the party know everything!" Positive changes will inevitably flow from the top, once the voice of the people is heard.

Unwittingly, Gorbachev set in motion the conditions that prompted the disintegration of the union of the 15 republics (USSR); the total collapse of the communist party,

down but you let down the station and your peers as well. It seems the ones that bellyache the loudest are the biggest shirkers. My days of yelling, screaming and throwing chairs to motivate you are behind me. You 'II have to deal with gaining the respect of your peers once again. As for my respect, I hate to say it but it's almost spent.

Enough with the lecture. If it spurs just one person to action that it was well worth it.

If not, than at least it was a cathartic experience for me. By the way, if you did have a good time at the party, don't thank me. Instead lavish your kudos on the people who broke their humps to show you a good time.

I am very proud of them and they deserve all the praise you can give them. As for complaints, give them to me. I've got a special file for them. It's called a trash can.

Mansion vandalism decried To the students of Cabrini College, Okay ladies and gentlemen, this wanton destruction masquerading as harmless college tomfoolery has got to stop! Despite what some of you may think, paying tuition does not give you the license to deface,

Four years after publishing those lines and being rescued from a failed palace coup, Gorbachev resigned from the party and, with Yeltsin and millions of citizens glaring in the background, declared the party inoperable.

The future is very uncertain, to say the least. What will fill the power vacuum is not clear. Perhaps there will be a loose federation of republics held together by a central government responsible for general secu-

destroy and steal College property.

This campus and its structures, many of them of historical significance, hold meaning for everyone connected to Cabrini: faculty, staff, alumni and responsible students.

As long time members of the College community, we 're sick and tired of having senseless vandalism foisted upon us.

The most recent episode of desecration took place on the evening of Sept. 30. Four windows on the side of the Mansion where the business office and institution advancement are located were broken. They were shattered with such force that the lead mullions were simply left hanging. A rock and a beer bottle were found on the floor of the offices along with thousands of glass shards.

Windows such as these cannot be replaced.

This is done in the name of fun?

Five years ago, the two of us, along with the help of many interested others, initiated and orchestrated the Mansion Gala, an annual party held in June by the Alumni Association, to raise funds to restore and refurbish our Mansion building. The Mansion was designed by Horace Trumbauer, a worldrenounded architect who was responsible for the Philadelphia Museum of Art among other buildings and we, as a community, feel the Mansion is an historical trust for all of us to enjoy and preserve.

To that end, through this gala, the Alumni Association has raised over $15,000. This money has enabled us to re-carpet the stairs and balcony of the Mansion; replace 50 chairs

rity concerns. Perhaps contractual trade agreements will bind the different and independent republics together in an economical accord - somewhat like the 12 nation European Community. Perhaps reactionary leaders will emerge and, with strong appeals to a people accustomed to be led, will reinstitute an authoritative regime. What will become of the military forces and the awesome store of nuclear warheads? · What is most troubling is the uncertainty that violence and ethnic warfare will be avoided. Some republics seem as dry tinder waiting for an incendiary spark. Georgia, Moldavia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are the most likely candidates.

What will be Gorbachev's future Also uncertain is the man-in-the-middle: Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. The author of the conditions that set in motion earth shattering changes may have little or no voice in future directions. Those who would applaud his reversals might do well to read his 1987 book. On the other hand, perhaps his overall views can be extracted from his original ties to the party he desparately tries to overhall.

His book contained a closing message to the world: "And if the--lmssian word perestroika has easily entered the international lexican, this is due to more than just interest in what is going on in the Soviet Union. Now the whole world needs restructuring, i.e. progressive development, a fundamental change .... We are all students, and our teacher is life and time. I believe that more and more people will come to realize that through restructuring in the broad sense of the word, the integrity of the world will be enhanced. Having earnedgood marksfrom our teacher - life - we shall enter the 21 century well prepared and sure that there will be further progress." You got that right, Gorby.

This article was written by Dr. Joseph Romano, chair of the philosophy department. Romano spent 15 days in the Soviet Union in the fall of 1989 as part of an educational conference.

in the dining room; place inviting furniture groupings in the foyer and in short, enhance the overall ambience and comfort of the building for students and campus visitors alike. The money was given by people who .love this College and wish to see it look its best. They contributed so that you would have a beautiful setting in which to pursue your education.

Do you know then that since we began this effort we have had three lamps, a coffee table and four sofa pillows ripped off? Do you also realize that this kind of behavior has become so blatant that students were recently caught red-handed walking off with one of the couches we had purchased?

These are not yours! Do not feel free to just help yourselves. When you take these items or destroy property you are stealing from us all.

The vast majority of Cabrini students are outstanding young men and women of whom we are exceedingly proud. Our anger is directed to the few who persist in this abhorrent behavior. Be aware you are, in the long run, hurting yourselves and your colleagues since the only way for the College to recoup these losses is to raise tuition, room and board.

Wish to be treated like adults? Then start acting like adults.

Sincerely, Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs and Nancy Gorevin Costello, campaign director

'The Final Exit:'

entertainment editor

Self-deliverance, also known as euthanasia, is the topic of "The Final Exit," the newest book from Derek Humphry, author of euthanasia books "Jean's Way" and "Let Me Die Before I Wake."

Humphry, who is a member of the controversial euthanasia group called "the Hemlock Society," wrote this book to help prevent needless suffering, according to the books foreward.

Euthanasia, according to Humphry, should never be entered lightly and should only be performed upon the consent of the terminally ill.

Due to the controversial nature of the book, many people have gotten the impression that the book is a how-to guide to suicide and they feel that it promotes suicide.

Those people are incorrect to the substance of the book and obviously never read it.

The book first serves to give a little background of the euthanasia movement and its legality in some nations. He also gives some useful cases of euthanasia, which shows the difference between euthanasia and suicide.

He explains the duties and responsibilities, involved with euthanasia, such as hiring an attorney to get your affairs in order. The lawyer is also involved to give a selected loved one the power to "pull-the-plug" if the

Exploring the myth of euthanasia

terminally ill one is in a total vegetative state.

Another responsibility reflected in his writing is the responsibility in choice. He explains that euthanasia is not meant for everyone and that those who have some doubt about it must not pursue it.

He says that those who are religiously opposed to euthanasia, should not use it as an alternative in their lives.

He explains that the terminally ill must find a physician willing to help in the selfdeliverence. Tips are given to find the appropriate physician.

The book also talks about how the common types of suicide cannot be used in euthanasia. He goes through each common type and explains the drawbacks and personal pain involved with each. He explains and dispels the myths involved with each of these types as well.

For example, he says that the cyanide only kills painfully and that its painless image is false.

He does so with such intelligent realism by interviewing various doctors on each method.

Reading this book may actually frighten some people out of attempting suicide.

The book does give some methods of painless euthanasia, but these require the services of the chosen physician.

This book is written only in large print so those who are terminally ill might be able to read it better.

'Harlot's Ghost'

by Norman Mailer

'My Own Private Idaho' starring Keanu Reeves

This long awaited novel from Norman Mailer is well over 1,300 pages long and tends to be tiring to read in places. The story is one of a history of a fictitious CIA. The book is written from the perspective of an ex-operative who writes two manuscripts about the agency, which is the body of the story. Unlike Stephen King's "The Stand," this book does not get away with being so long.

· 'Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy'

by Harry Shapiro and Caesar Glebeek Yet another biography written about that legend of rock n' roll. This one was written on the angle of being the most detailed account of his life. This is a must read for any and all Hendrix followers but only those who are truly devoted enogh to sit through all of the pages in order to get a little more detail.

'Me.'

by Katherine Hepburn An autobiography of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, however, this is best enjoyed as a tale of struggling and success than one of fame.

The tale of two male bisexual prostitutes, one of whom is also narcoleptic, comes off more as an episode from "Donahue" than the crime and sex thriller it was meant to be. The crime boss tends to recite Shakespeare, which discredits the seriousness of the plot further. This would have been a better endeavor as a comedy with all of the plot quirks and setups. Just a thought: maybe the Shakespeare caused the narcolepsy.

'Late For Dinner' starring Marcia Gay Harden and Brian Wimmer Two brothers-in-law are put in a cryonic freeze by a mad scientist for over 20 years. They are then rejuventated and the one ex-popsicle has to return to his wife and children, who are all older now even though he has not aged a day himself. His reactions to the new world around him as well ~- the changes in himself make some of the most classic scenes from movies this year. There are many tender scenes between him and his wife which are fueled by her surprise that he's still alive and the problem of their new-found age difference.

It is a pleasure

to welcome all our Cabrini parents to campus.

Enjoy the weekend!

Ski trip plannedfor January

by Maryjane Inman staff writer

Ski enthusiast Ed Moore, sophomore, considers himself a veteran skier and is presently talcing measures to spread his interest around campus by utilizing his talents to conduct a weekend venture and start a long term club.

In his second attempt to arouse participatiop in skiing activities among students, Moore is formulating a weekend venture to Hunter Mountain and Cortina Valley in New York.

The trip runs from Jan. 3-5, and involves students attending Penn State University and Delaware County Community College as well as Cabrini.

Moore and two of his friends made arrangements for this get-away ski weekend through the Worldwide Travel Agency because they wanted to assure students a guar-

'This sounds like a pretty good deal.'

- Jason Chaya, first-year student anteed package.

Students may embark on this trip, complete with transportation, hotel accommodations, two full-course meals, access to both mountains and vast amount of activities, such as horseback riding and ice skating for a fee of $135.

Moore, who has been skiing for approximately 13 years, said that this trip is a great package deal and relatively inexpensive in comparison with most ski trips. Several students agree with this notion.

"This sounds like a pretty good deal," said first-year student Jason Chaya.

John Quiros, sophomore, said that he enjoys skiing and that the trip is "a great opportunity to get away and try something new."

Moore said that his main purpose in sponsoring this trip focuses on student interaction. He said that in his mind this trip is a terrific opportunity for students to get better acquainted with one another and also an ideal chance to meet people from neighboring colleges.

Jennifer Marks-Gold, director of student activities, said that she hopes students will

talce advantage of this opportunity.

The trip will provide memories to last a lifetime and definitely possesses the potential to deliver a worthwhile experience,said Marks-Gold who already put her deposit down for the trip.

Junior Karen Bell started skiing approximately 13 years ago. She said that she skies frequently and that students would be getting a great deal for their money in this package.

From what Bell hears, Hunter Mountain is a top rated ski area.

Moore describes the resort as the "snow malcing capital of the world."

He said that he knows from experience that this time of year provides an excellent terrain and weather conditions for extraordinary skiing.

Moore said that this trip caters to amateur skif:rs as well as advanced. On this excursion, participants will have access to beginner slopes (Cortina Valley) and courses designed for experts (Hunter Mountain).

A deposit of $35 is due in the middle of October, but Moore said that he plans to be flexible and do bis best to accommodate students who are unable to meet this deadline.

Eventually, Mooreplans to develop a ski club within the college. He stood as president for such an organization in high school and said that this.foundation will enable him to function as a leader on the college scene.

Moore attempted to implement a similar program last year but he said that lack of advertising and appeal to diversified ski levels defeated his mission.

This year's club will encourage beginners and more advanced skiers to talce an extended interest in their sport, Moore said Marks-Gold views Moore as a determined and an extremely organized person with the necessary characteristics to become a successful leader.

Recently, at the college's activities fair held on Sept. 26, Moore obtained approximate}y IOmembers for his organization. He said that he was happy with the tum-out and that every sign-up counts.

Moore said that he's enthusiastic about the upcoming year and the opportunities ahead. The recent participation gave him an optimistic perspective on the future.

'Thursdays': a night to 'hang' _atCabrini

by Michelle Friel

staff writer

If anyone was looking for something to do on Thursday night, the majority of the 21-and-over crowd were at "Thursdays."

This was the first 21-and-over club held on Cabrini's campus.

"Thursdays" was held on Thursday, Sept.26 in the Widener Center gathering area. The deal was, with proper I.D., you payed $2 and drank all you wanted. There was a big screen television for entertainment.

The students who were in attendance seemed to like the idea. "This is definitely a good experiment for something we can expand on in the future and it's a good idea to keep us on campus," senior Jen McKee said.

Another positive aspect of the club on campus was the idea that the students who are drinking will stay on campus. Also

people would not complain so much that there is never anything to do.

"It's a good idea because it gives an alternative, rather than going off campus.

This leads to people having to drive after they have been drinking," senior Bill DiRita said.

"If they provided things like this for us on campus, we wouldn't have to leave to find something to do," senior Kathy McLane commented.

One of the suggestions that came from student Tina Giunta was, "We should have extended hours until 12:30 or 1 a.m."

Giunta thought that this would definitely be an incentive for students to stay on campus after they have been drinking.

"We should have one every week. If we have it every week. people can plan on it," senior Michael Massari said.

The same input came from senior Tara Tarutius when she said "If we have Thursdays every week, then people will know

and malce plans for it in advance."

The whole idea of "Thursdays" was run by the Student Government Association (SGA).

It was put together by Jen Morrison, social activities chairperson.

She said they came up with this idea through many suggestions of the students.

"Everyone wanted a pub on campus, but the notion of that didn't go over well because they felt as though it would condone drinking," Morrison said.

Because of the fact that the SGA felt it would condone drinking, they came up with the idea of "Thursdays."

"The name "Thursdays" was used because it's the beginning of the weekend and it's definitely a big night to go out," Morrison said.

Morrison said that they plan to have an event every month, but not necessarily on Thursday.

They were thinking of possibly holding events for Monday night football, but the

name "Thursdays" will stand.

"I was very pleased that everything went very well and maybe we could extend the hours if some people volnteered to stay after and clean up," Morrison said.

Morrison also thought that the entertainment aspect of Billy Joel on the big screen television went well because it allowed the students to watch and interact at the same time, because it wasn't too loud.

"We did this for the students, but in order to keep holding events we need them (the students) to come to us with suggestions," Morrison said.

Morrison said that on Oct. 8 a meeting for social activities will be held and anyone who has any ideas for what they would like on campus can present them at this time.

The board members consist of Jennifer Morrison, chairperson, Kim Haban, Jamie Santora and Amy Wechsler.

Bookstore

by Tara Kegel

staff writer

To publicize the importance of the freedom to read and to focus attention on the dangers of censorship, Sept. 29 through Oct. 5 was designated Banned Books Week.

The bookstore is currently featuring an exhibit of banned books.

Throughout history, books have been banned due to complaints concerned with sex, obscenity and "objectionable" language.

These complaints are not limited to any one political perspective or special interest group.

Parents have objected to books dealing with rebellion, sexual references, drug use or crime, feminists to unfair gender stereotypes and atheists to biblical references.

In the 19th century, for example, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was challenged for poking fun at conventional morality and for bad grammar.

More recently, the novel has been attacked by civil rights groups for its alleged demeaning portrayal of blacks.

Other works such as "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey, "The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer, "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dick~ns, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret"

by Judy Blume, "Cujo" by Steven King and "Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger have all been similiarly misunderstood and attacked.

These books can all be found in either the Cabrini bookstore or library.

displays

Jennifer Stevens, former bookstore manager, sent away for the banned books because she wanted the students to be aware of them. "It is only coincidence thin members of the faculty are teaching them," Stevens said.

James Hedtke, assistant professor of political science, is currently teaching "All Quiet on the Wes tern Front" in his War and Peace seminar.

In 1929, "All Quiet on the Western Front" was banned in Boston, Mass., on grounds of obscenity and seized by the United States customs in Chicago.

That same year, Austrian soldiers were forbidden to read the book and it was barred from Czechoslovakian military libraries by the war department.

'Banning should be against the law as far as I'm concerned.'

- Beth Green, senior In 1930, the book was banned in Thuringia, Germany. In 1933, it was banned in Italy because of its antiwar propaganda and consigned to the Nazi bonfire, according to the Banned Books Resource Book.

Hedtke said he teaches the book because, in his estimation, "it is the best book which conveys what it is like to be in combat and what runs through a soldier's head. It's written by an ex-German soldier and his conclusions are very powerful and very antiwar."

Steven Bobo, junior, who is currently

banned

books

reading "All Quiet on the Western Front," said that he is enjoying the book thoroughly. "Censorship is a violation of our rights as · Americans," Bobo said.

All of the books Dr. Arthur Young, professor of English, is teaching this semester are either banned themselves, or are written by an author-who-has had other books banned.

"The Shining" by Steven King, and James Baldwin's "Go Tell it on the Mountain," are among the many banned books that Young is teaching in his Modem American Literature class.

Young said that the reason for teaching these books is because "they are really good books."

Beth Green, senior, said that she does not agree with censorship.

"Banning should be against the law as far as I'm concerned," Green said.

Kristine Mudrick,library director, said, "Banned Books Week is especially appropriate in photo by Judi Panasik.printed by Lorraine MarieLill a college library. Students need to see all different viewpoints in order to form Bookstore displays banned books. The week of Sept. their own opinions."

29 to Oct. 5 is recognized as Banned Book Week throughout the United States.

Commuterschallengethe b8ttle of the roadways

by Kimberly Haban staff writer

They come from everywhere. Springfield. Berwyn. Ridley Park. Drexel Hill.

They are commuters. They are students, faculty, staff and adminstration and they make up 76 percent of the college community.

Unlike residents who can roll out of bed at 8: 15 a.m., and make it on time to an 8:20 class, commuters have to hop in their cars at 7:00a.m. and fight with trafficforanhourto be on time for a class at 8:20.

Commuters battle obstacles such as traffic lights, road construction, accidents, rain and snow. The biggest obstacle residents are faced with is the climb up the hill to get to Sacred Heart Hall. Commuters plan the quickest route to school.

Jennifer Hansbury, registrar, has 10 dif-

'I hate parking in the lot from hell.'

- Kelly Reed, senior ferent routes to get here. Some commuters have ventured to explore back roads. Eric Barbuscia, junior,. took backroads from Havertown and it still took him the normal hour to get here. Residents, on the other hand, are planning the quickest route to getting over their Tuesday morning hangover.

Route 32v cm:. z::x,sr= -_ ~c:ce roads most commonly used by commuters.

For commuters driving from Delaware County, 320 is one of the only links to T

Radnor.

Students are not the only people who commute. Catherine Y ungmann, communications instructor, battles traffic every morning.

Not only does she have to be here for a 9:40 class, but she must drop off three children at an elementary school in the totally opposite direction. She then fights traffic on Haverford Avenue and on the back roads behind Villanova and Rosemont.

When she finally arrives, she drops another child off at the Children's School, then runs to her office dragging her briefcase and bags along with her. For the entire hour she is in the car, she listens to children's cassettes to keep the kids quiet.

"Sometimes we listen to Winnie the Pooh or Mother Goose," Yungmann said. "But when the kids are sick that's another story."

Other commuters like sophomore Jamie Santora listen to Howard Stern or the Morning Zoo. Still others pop in the cassettes.

Sophomore Courtney O'Connor said, "When things get rough I just pop in Abbey Road."

Some commuters even play games to make their drive more bearable. John Sawyer, junior, tries to run people over for points around the Villanova area.

There are three words that will make the drive for commuters a lot easier in the future. The Blue Route.

Commuters are looking forward to usin\ the Blue Route which will connect the Schuykill Expressway, the turnpike, 1-95, and many major highways.

Lisa Naab, junior, said "The Blue Route 9,,'llJcut my driving time in half." ";\~ commuters finally do arrive here they are not finished with the fight. They have to find a place to pan.

If they get here before 8:20 a.m., they will get a close parking spot in the Sacred Heart lot. If they arrive any later, they park in the rear of the Sacred Heart lot or in the Grace Hall lot. Some people even park on the grass by the hockey field.

The consensus among the commuters is

'Sometimes we listen to Winnie the Pooh or Mother Goose. But when the kids are sick that's another story.'

- Catherine Yungmann

that Tuesdays and Thursdaysare the worst days for parking.

On Thursday morning at 10:00, there were no parkingspaces in the SacredHeart parkinglot. There were 50 spots left in the GraceHall lot. Five cars were parkedon the grass. There are 669 parkingspots on campus. There are 1,000 commuters and 169 residents with registeredcars.

"I hate parking in the lot from hell," senior Kelly Reed said, referringto the Grace Hall parkinglot.

Reed said the parking lot is not well lit and she does not like to walk out therein the dark. By the time she leaves at night her car is the only one out there. She sometimes will move her car from the Grace Hall lot to the Sacred Heart lot when there is a spot available.

Science department lacking students and funds

by Catherine DeHart staff writer

A vicious cycle in the chemistry and biology departments is causing a lack of funds and students, according to faculty in each department.

The biology and chemistry departments service not only their majors but also elective classes that all students need to fulfill their core requirements. Both departments said that they have enough equipment and space for majors but not enough when it comes to the ·non-majors.

"Our equipment is basically up to date," Dr. Joseph Feighan, chairperson of the chemistry department, said, "but we are short on space." Without the facilities, high school students looking at Cabrini for science wm not apply.

"We're really not on top of what they need," Mary Ellen Herzog, director of development, said.

Thedevelopmentdepartmentraisesmoney

for the school by soliciting grants and donations. Development has not recently applied or received any grants for the science departments.

"We don't really feel we have a chance," Anna Kruse, chairperson of the biology department, said.

The Vice President of Institutional Advancement decides which area of the school needs money first, but without someone in that position presently, Herzog is doing it herself. When asked if the chemistry and biology departments were on the top part of her list, Herzog said, "The library is more critical but science is not far down on the list."

Both Feighan and Kruse said that their budgets are small but Feighan said, "You can't really criticizethe school." The $70 lab fee charged to every student enrolled in a lab course basically makes up the budget of each departments' needs, except for the purchasing of new equipment.

"We do have needs," Kruse said, "it's just a matter of finance." According to Kruse, the

biology department has what it needs, but is weak in technology. "We have to economize our needs," Kruse said. When asked if the department would ever expand, Kruse answered, "We can't expand with new equipment because there is no room." Kruse also said that over the past five years the biology department's budget has been cut at least 50 percent.

As for the small number of majors the big downfalls for both departments are facilities and recruitment. "There needs to be a stronger push in recruiting majors," Feighan said.

Presently, there is one chemistry major graduating in May, eight biology majors and one medical technician. Kruse said, "Maybe someone in biology could help recruit."

"There is nothing to attract new students but our reputation," Kruse said, referring to a special program for prospective students interested in biology.

Herzog said that it is difficult for Cabrini to receive grants because smaller schools do not fit what big companies are looking for.

"Getting outside funding is difficult," Herzog

Bookstore under new management

by Renee M. Co"ado staff writer

The Cabrini bookstore underwent yet another change. Rosemary Hagen is the new bookstore manager that was placed into effect two weeks ago.

The new bookstore manager comes to Cabrini with experience. Hagen was the University of Penn's textbook manager and also worked at The Moore ColJege of Art. Jennifer Stevens resigned her postion as bookstore manager and left Thursday, Sept.

19. Stevens, who started her bookstore position in November 1990, resigned because of plans to marry and relocate.

"Jennifer was great to work with and an asset to the bookstore," senior Jayda Zazyczny said.

Rosemary Hagen, new bookstore manager, plans to make the bookstore convenient and pleasant

"Jennifer was on target with what students wanted and was open to suggestions.

She made this a college bookstore, "Zazyczny said.

Chief Financial Officer John Barclay hired Hagen, Friday, Sept. 20.

Zazyczny, a bookstore employee since her freshman year, recalled last year when Albert Vassallo left the position as bookstore manager.

The responsibility of running the bookstore fell onto the hands of the work-study students along with Sr. Toni Avitabile and Judy Barnes of the business office, Zazyczny said.

There are currently nine work-study students working in the bookstore. The employees said that they want the restoring of the bookstore to continue under Hagen's direction.

Cabrinistudentwins nationalvideocontest

Junior Dawn Timbario

by Karen Bell staff writer

JuniorDawnTimbariowon$500whenher video on Mother Ursula, the founderofCabrini College won honorable mention in a national video contest sponsored by The Christophers, a non-profit organization. Timbario's video will be broadcast on 65 stations nationwide, and locally on the catholic program, Real to Reel.

It began as a television practicum project

(an independent study program). Timbario wanted to create a video on Mother Ursula so that the college could keep the finished product, "Mother Ursula; A Legacy of Inspiration," in the archives, located in Sacred Heart Library on the second floor.

WhileTimbario was working on preparing the background information on Mother Ursula, her practicum teacher, Cathy Yungmann, assistant professor of communicatons, came across a video contest that fit the project.

"The video contest theme was 'One Person Can MakeA Difference' and without such an inspiring subject to work with I do not think I would have won," Timbario said.

The contest rules specified that the video

'It was something completely new to work on and I would do it again' was to be five minutes long. "Following the rules was the hardest part," Timbario said, "It was hard to cut the six-minute piece I had two weeks before the contest due date into five minutes." Timbario did her own editing of the video.

According to Timbario, The Christophers called Tuesday, Sept. 10, to notify Timbario that she had won. "It was neat to work on this

project because it was my first video project and the first to be mailed out to be judged," Timbario said.

The contest gave out eight cash awards, ranging from $3,000 for first prize, $2,000 for second and $1,000 for third, along with five honorable mention winners each receiving $500.

Timbario said she worked closely with Y ungmann. "I utilized Cathy's experience in camera techniques. She helped me fix the script by changing it from reading form to writing for the ear," Timbario said.

"I felt she had an excellent shot at winning one of the prizes because Dawn's subject fit so exactly with the theme of the contest," Yungmann said.

"The department and the college are extremely proud. She is a junior and has accomplished a video that is a national winner," Yungmann said.

Timbario was the producer, director and editor, although she did have a crew that helped her with the interview ofMother Ursula Senior Dan Francis, one of the crew members, said, "I helped with the taping session in the archives so that the shots would look appealing."

"Money was not even a thought when I started this project, I was doing it for a grade," Timbario said. "I guess I'll put the money in the bank."

"It was something completely new to work on and I would do it again," Timbario said.

said.

Herzog also siad that since Cabrini does not offer graduate programs for the sciences, it accentuates the competition for grants. "If companies don't get anything out of their money they will not invest," Herzog said. A lot of effort in the past was organized to try to enlarge the chemistry Jab but companies would not give money for building. ''There has been talk about a science building," Kruse said. "We can't even begin to seriously entertain that thought," Herzog said.

Both Feighan and Kruse said that it is a national problem recruiting science majors.

Feighan said that five years ago Cabrini graduated 10 chemistry majors, while vmanovaonly graduated nine. Feighan went on to explain that the problem stems from early childhood where interest in the sciences is not developed in early grades.

Both Feighan and Kruse are happy with the students that graduate and the placements they receive.

As you walk into the lab room you say to your friend, "Pew, what is that smell?"

Since the beginningof the year many people have been complainingof a ''raunchy" smell on the bottom floor of Sacred Heart Hall. No one knowsexactlywhatthe smellis but manypeople know how to explain the smell.

Sophomore Melissa Thompson said, "It smells like a wet dog that just came in from the

David Hirsch, also a sophomore, said it smelled as though people have been running around the hallway with stinky feet Thehousekeepingfor the buildinghas recogniz.edthe sm~ll. Diane Stuempfle, director of housekeeping, said, "Everything is clean, the carpetshave been shampooed,but every once in awhile you can smell some kind of a 'musty' odor." Stuempfle added, 'The musty smell is

There is not much mqre that we can do to get rid of it" RobertDavis,thehousekeeperforthebottom floor, said, "Sometimes I smell something unusual,but beforepeople enter the building in the morningI usea spray that will make it tolerable for the studentsand teachers."

Mike Caranfa, chief physical plant officer, said, "I cannot say what the smell is, because I have not been told about it. No one has come to me to complain." He then added, "Ifl begin to get complaintsI will tty to determinewhere the smell is coming from and tty to solve the problem."

Chris Callinan, senior, agrees with Caranfa. ''What smell in Sacred Heart Hall?"

Detrick defends title S.A.C. rekindles intramural athletics

by Judith A. Panasik

staff writer

Senior tennis captain Susie Detrick said out loud "What are you doing?" as she swung at the tennisball and missed. "I have a strong verbal game, I always yell at myself," Detrick said. Detrick is this week's athlete of the week. Before her comment, she had already won the first set in the match 61 and went on to win the second set 6-2.

Her_ record so far this season is 5-1 in single sets and 2-1 in doubles sets.

Detrick, a math major who plans to teach secondary education after she graduates, started her tennis career at the age of eight.

She played on Conestoga High School's J. V. team and also on Susquehanna University's tennis team. Detrick has played on Cabrini's tennis team since she was a

sophomore.

As a sophomore her record was 21-11.

She also placed number three at the Betty Prince Memorial Tournament that year, making her the only person in the history of the tournament that did not come from one of the two schools that always hold top positions.

Last year her combined singles and doubles record was 24-10 and she is currently the defending ESAC (Eastern States Athletic Conference) champion.

In addition to tennis Detrick swam in high school and as a child played several different sports.

Detrick said that the difference in her playing from high school as compared to college is that she is a lot better and holds a higher position.

Detrick' s strategy is to frustrate her opponent as much as she can. "I just adapt to whatever game they're playing and try to beat them at their own game," Detrick said.

Coach Reggie Day relies on her to make sure things get taken care of and are organized. He considers her level-headed and in control of things during the matches.

Detrick's doubles partner Maryanne Walker said that in a tough situation she can depend on her and that she is always positive.

"She's not only a good athlete but a great friend," Walker said.

Teammate Joelle Spagnola sees Detrick as a positive influence to the team by keeping them in line when they are emotionally down.

Detrick's driving force is a tough mental game and her desire to win. She sees the team as one big family and has a great time with them.

According to assistant coach Gina Strobel, if Detrick wants it, she gets it. She is flexible and determined.

Day considers her consistency a definite asset to her game. He also said that her game has a nice touch, finesse and good power when she needs it.

If Detrick were a tennis racquet, she said she would want to be a Prince racquet because that's what everybody else uses and it's the racquet of champions.

Detrick's idol in the tennis world is Chris Everett because Detrick said she was not a super strong player but that she hung in there and did very well.

"There's nothing to do around here."

This is an all-too- familiar complaint heard repeatedly on Cabrini's campus. Well Cabrini students, complain no more. Due to the efforts of Kim Haban, sophomore, and Mark Mellor, sophomore, Cabrini's new intramural program is about to be launched.

Last spring the social activities club sent out flyers asking students what other activities they would like to have offered here on campus. "An intramural program was one of the most requested activities," Haban said. The next step was to take this idea and make it a reality.

Before leaving for summer vacation, Haban spoke with John Dzik, athletic director, and Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student affairs, for some guide· lines and suggestions as to how to begin implementing an intramural program.

"Their suggestions were very helpful," Haban said. "They explained that the lack of motivation and dedication on the student's part could become a problem.

They gave me ideas as to ways of prevent• ing this from happening," Haban said.

The next step was to decide what sports should be offered. Mellor and Haban sent out 1, l 00 questionnaires asking students what sports they would like to have offered. The options were basketball, football, volleyball and softball. Of the 1, l 00 questionnaires sent out 70 were returned to Mellor and Haban. "I was impressed with the number of responses we receh:ed," Haban said. "Volleyball was the most requested sport to begin the program," Haban said.

A meeting was held Wednesday, Sept.

18 in Xavier Great Room for those interested in participating in the intramural program. "Approximately 20 people, myself and Kim included, showed up for the meeting." Mellor said. " We had hoped for a larger turnout, but we weren't really expecting one," Mellor said.

The purpose for the meeting was to hand out guidelines for the program. The money for this program is corning from the Social Activities Club (S.A.C.).

"To ensure the S.A.C. wiJI not be in the red after funding this program, each team must post a $25 bond, which is refundable at the end of the season if the team doesn't drop out. Also, every member of each team will pay $3 at the start of each season to be used for trophies, mugs or tee shirts for the winning team," Haban said.

Anyone is eligible to participate in the program. Each team must submit a roster no later than Sunday, Sept. 29 at 9 p.m.

"Already Scott Dorsey, resident director of the houses, who is acting as staff liaison, has subrnitted.ar-0ster. His team consists of resident life staff and physical plant," Mellor said.

"If we have five teams we'll go with the program, if not, forget it," Haban said. "People say they want things done.

I can do the technical work, but I can't make people go out and play," Haban said.

"Our time and energy is limited but we need the students' participation to make it a success," Mellor said.

He credited Ha ban for the effort she's put into the program. "Kim is doing an exceptional job and she deserves a majority of the credit. She sacrificed a lot of her own time," Mellor said.

Woeful season continues

by Brendan Noone staff writer Tuesday's contest against Eastern College was a test for the winless Lady Cavs. It was a test of a team sprit, heart and devotion.

The Lady Cavs lost 3-0, but gave it all they could. They were simply overmatched.

Wednesday, the time was 9:30 p.m., and the bright spot for the Lady Cavs was on the local sports radio show. Veronica O'Hore was taking question from the shows host and the public. She was answering them as a leader, and she was also being grilled at the same time.

"Veronica, do you think everyone on the team is freinds?"

The words rang over the airwaves with an intent of finding a serious answer. Chris Costigan, a junior and team member, was waiting on the line to find an answer.

"Well, everyone lives togeter and some are roommates," O'Hora said. "I don't think anything is wrong."

All that was shown on the field Tuesday wa:. highly challenged in that thirty-second question and answer period.

Thursday, 9: 30 a.m. The grilling contiues.

"Is this team ever going to win a game this year?" A teacher said to Costigan. Quickly she answered, "this Saturday!"

Saturday, 3p.m. The Lady Cavs played Marywood College and played out a carbon copy of the Eastern game. The final.score was 3-0. The faces looked the same, loaded with questions, and disappointment.

"We really tried hard," Costigan said.

"We always do."

The life of a Division III team, without offense, reads like a minor league farm club that loses its star player to the pros. They can't trade players, like the Flyers, and all of the sudden look like a contender again. They have to make the best of the talent at hand.

Melt the pot and switch up the players.

Coach Joan Quinn, who did not want to comment after Saturdays loss, has a tough road ahead. She inherited an inexperienced team without a scoring weapon. There is also the difficult task of trying to keep a winless team together as a team. A win will mean more to Quinn then just her first career victory, it will mean that the pieces will stay jntact for the time being. It will also give the most important thing this team is missing ... confidence.

DiRita maybe M.I.A.

by Bob Healey

sports editor

Not only will the soccer team be at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va., but one of the Homecoming King nominees will be there as well.

Senior co-captain Bill DiRita, one of the five males on the Homecoming Court, will be a late arrival to the dinner/dance if he is able to attend at all. "(Homecoming) is the least of my worries," DiRita said.

According to Mark Mellor, sophomore, the homecoming committee chairperson, the announcement of Homecoming King is sup_pose to be at 9 p.m. Mellor said he will hold-off a while to allow DiRita to be part of the Court.

However, Mellor said he cannot wait all night, "I have a deadline," he said.

DiRita is annoyed that the soccer team is not included in an week~ end that should involve the entire campus.

Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs/annual fund, was surprised to learn that DiRita was both a member of the Court and of the soccer team.

"Sometimes we get myopic in these things," Dale said. "I didn't realize it at all."

DiRita said the annoyance was aggravated by the fact that he is a senior. "We don't have an appreciation day," he said.

Cavs splits2-game series

"This (Parents/Alumni Weekend ) is our farewell."

Bill DiRita Sr., expressed disappointment in the fact that his son is a senior and will miss the events.

"It's not fair for the kids or the parents," Mr. DiRita said.

Mr. DiRita, like most of the parents of soccer players, said he is not going to attend or participate in any events this weekend.

Another concern of DiRita's is the fact that Shenandoah is one of the Cavs biggest rivals. "It will be tough to keep the guys focused," he said.

DiRita was unsure how the mixup occured. "At Cabrini everybody likes to pass the buck," he said.

'Themen's soccerteam has a 54 record after a win and a loss this

past week. The Cavs beat Misericordiaby a 5-1 score on Sept 25, and lost to Division I West Chester 3-0 on Saturday.

Within the first 20 minutes of Thursday's game, Cabrini had scored two goals. With 11:51 left in the first half, sophomore John Quiros scored his first goal of the seasonto raise the scoreto 3-0 in favor of the Cavs.

Afterthe Cavs scoretwo more goals in the second half, Misericordia finally scoreswith two minutesleft in the game. AlthoughtheCavsheldMisericordia off for almost the entiregame, team co-captainBill DiRita said, "towards the end of the game, we startedto play sloppily."

JuinorGlenJaskelewiczscored two of the teams goals, although accordingto head coach Duncan Hubley, Jaskelewiczdid not play his bestgame. "Glen just hasn't been scoring the critical goals.

This year, teams know who he is andlooktoroughhimup," Hubley said.

Saturday's game againstWest Chester was a much harder game for the team than Misericordia.

Co-captainMike Connor,junior, returned to play after missi.11g Thursday's game because of bruised kidneys.

According to Hubley, "We were unlucky. West Chester as a team isn'tthatmuch betterthanus, Div1 or not. Within the first minute,wehadalreadymissedour first opportunity. Jaskelewicz missed a shot and so did Schlegelmilch. West Chester picked up the rebound, carried it and scored," Hubley said.

WestChester'ssecondgoalwas scored after goalkeeper Steve Spence moved out of the net to cover a shot and missed. Midway through the second half, West Chester scored its final goal.

DiRita remarked on how well the team carried the ball in both games. "Wecontrolledalotofthe play,but wejust haven't been able

to put the ball in the net," he said With l7:59remaininginthegame, Jaskelewicz sent a penalty shot over the goal. Hubley said of the missed opportunity, " our offense was unlucky. That was the first time we haven't scored on a penalty shot in four years. Last year we scored on a reboundfrom a shot,but with thisshot that wasn't possible."

According to Hubley, the last missed penalty shot was in 1987 againstAllentown. The streakended at 17,when the shot was missedin the West Chester game. ''The team needs to be scoring critical goals," Hubley said. ''Heart will only take a team so far, then skill will be necessary."

Quirussaidoftheteam,"We aren't talkingto each otherenough. On the field, we're yelling at each other insteadof supporting.We need to work on communication."

DiRita echoed Quiros by saying, 'Things justaren'tclicking. We aren't playingas a team.We're a betterteam than you see in our play. We need to communicatebetter," DiRita said Hubleydisagreedwith his players.

'There is no lack of communication.

The only difference between last

year and now is that we haven't beatenteams that arebetterthan us.

It's all the same players," Hubley said.

TheCavsarecarryingtwofreshman goalkeepers this year, Steve Spenceand Brad Vodges. Hubley still is unsure of who is the team's startinggoalie. ''In one game Steve's better, in the next game Brad is playingbetter. They're learning its a much more physical game here than in high school," Hubley said.

Quirossaid the team is feeling comfortable when either goalie is playing.''Theyarebothgood. Now they're feeling better about their play as the seasongoes on," Quiros said DiRitaisimpressedwithSpence and Vodge's abilities. "It's hard withtwo freshmangoalies.ButI do think they are feeling comfortable with the team," DiRita said.

DiRitaalsoaddedthat''the team may be expecting more than it shouldfromthem. Bothgoaliesare doing well consideringthe lack of experiencethey have."

Cavs strugglethroughinjuries

by Amy Wechsler

staff writer

According to cross country coach Tom O'Hora, the men's and women's teams have been dealing with the fact that many of the runners have been sick or injured. Because of this the team has been unable to compete as a whole in the meets so far this year.

Senoir Chris Callinanhas been out for the entire season so far due to a back injury. According to Callinan, he hopes to be back this coming weekend at the Philadelphia College of the Bible Invitational. John Osborn, senior, has been sick the last few weeks, but he should be returning this week-

end as well.

The men's team also has some new faces this season. Senior HJ. Kelly has joined the team this year, but according to O'Hora has not been running in.the last few years.

Tom O'Donnell, senior, has also joined the team after taking a year off from running.

The women's cross country has a sufficent number of runners at this point and was able to run as a team for the first time this past Saturday at Belmount Plateau. This was especially made possible with some help from the field hockey team.

Friday night at around 9:30, O'Hora recieved a phone call from his daughter Veronica saying that she and other members of the field hockey team were going to run in

the meet. Veronica worked to recruit members from the field hockey team to run in the meet even though they had a game of their own to contend with.

This was the "first bright light of the season," O'Hora said. The team ended up placing overall last Saturday.

Denise Tucker.junior, ran for an excellent team in high school, but was frequentlygettinginjured.

O'Hora said that he is taking it easy with her right now and "bringing her on slowly."

When O'Hora was asked about the rumors circulating about the possibility that certain runners were suspended from the meet last Saturday at Belmont Plateau, he said "That is behind us now."

As a well known local sports broadcaster would say, "What a joke!" The 1992Surnmer0lympic Basketball Team was named a couple of weeks ago. Not one ameatur was found among the ten names chosen to play.

Yes, the United States of America will no longer finish below first place. Every olympic basketball player will come back from Spain with a gold medal, but so what? Do you find dominance exciting? Do you sit on the edge of your seat during blowout sporting events? No! No I say.

Remember the days when high school and college players would dream of representing their country in their respective sport? Whether it be gymnastics, water polo or figure skating ameatur were allowed to give it their all in efforts to represent the best country in the world.

Now basketball fans in this country will have to watch Michael Jor'dan take a pass from Magic Johnson on the wing and soar over some Southem Mediterranean player and act like it took some effort.

This is not what the Olympics are about. In this country at least, the olympics represent working all your life to obtain one thing, a gold medal. It represents all those supportive, sponsored commercials from Budweiser, Coke-A-Cola and Subaru.

During the next year not only will Americans have to watch Michael Jordan become, if possible, more saturated in the media, but the nine other players will benefit greatly from their "love for their country move" in playing for the USA. (By the way Michael, stick to commercials and hoops. You stink as an actor. I.E. Saturday Night Live).

Excuse my regression, you understand my point. I do not agree with how the Olympic Basketball Team will turn into a big NBA commercial. Lets talk about the team. It is not missing anything.

They are with out a doubt the best team ever assembled. Point guards, 1-ebounders,pure shooters, Michael Jordan, they have it all.

The only problems they might have is Chuck Daly figuring out what players play best together and who the go-to man will be if they need one. The only other problem might be figuring out who the final two players on the team are.

Actually the problem is figuring out the twelth man. The team has to have at least one college player on the team.

If Daly and the rest of the brain trust do not choose Shaquille O'Neill from LSU there is a major problem. He dominated college basketball all last season and the only reason he did not leave early and enter and NBA draft and be selected as a lottery pick was that he wants to dominate college basketball again.

The twelth man could be anyone. So much talent in this county to choose from I do not think it really matters. But hear this Chuck Daly and your ten stud ball players, if you lose, defect from the country.

Soccerteam absentfrom Parents/AlumniWeekend

Blame The Manager · The New York Mets fired manager Buddy Harrelson with only a week left in the season. Harrelson became the eigth managing casuality of the season. The other six statistics are: Nick Leyva (remember him), Don Zimmer, Frank Robinson, Doug Radar, John .McNamara and John Wathan. Buck Rogers was fired by the Expos earlier this season but he replaced Radar in California.

A recent survey was conducted and the amount of money it costs for a family of four to attend a ballgame is astronomical.

The Philadelphia Flyers will open its season tonight (Thursday) versus the Washington Capitals in Landover, Maryland. The team is coming off its second consecutive playoffless season.

Turn Back The Clock Remember the days when men were men and nobody in the NHL wore helmets, not even the goalies. Well, in this, the 75th year of the NHL, the league is trying to rediscover its youth. The original six teams: the Red Wings,Blackhawks, Maple Leafs, Canadians and the Rangers will wear its original uniforms and the Maple Leafs will even travel by train.

Outdoor Hockey The Los Angeles Kings defeated the New York rangers 5-2 last week in the first-ever outdoor game in NHL history. The game was played outside of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and featured a Roman Gladiator driving the zamboni machine. Could you imagine if this becomes common practice: January games placed outdoors on the frozen tundra of Alberta. It would give new meaning to the term Ice Bowl.

The Cavalier soccer team will be in Winchester, Va., for Parents/Alumni Weekend

teams at home for the weekend.

However, this weekend is Shenandoah's Homecoming and an arrangement could not be worked out to switch the game.

The F..SAC(Eastern States Athletic Conference)schedule was formulated in August of 1990 for the 1991-92 academic year. Last year Parents/AlumniWeekend was Sept 29-30, in 1989it was Sept. 30-0ct. l.

However, before Parents Weekend and AlumniWeekendmerged,from 1986-88, Parents Weekend was the firstweekendinOctober.Relyingon this informationDzik asswned this year's events would also be the last weekend in September.

"No one told me the date," Dzik said "It had traditionally been the last weekend in September."

Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs/annualfund, said thedate was changed to avoid it fallingon a Jewish holiday. The original weekend would have been Sept.28-29. This year the Jewish holidays fall earlier then normal. "Often it(Jewishholidays) falls on the last weekend in September,"Dale said. However, all the teams, excluding volleyball whichhad nogamescheduled,played athomethispastweekend. According to JenniferMarks-Gold,director of student activities and moderator for Kappa Sigma Omega,the confusionover the schedulingwas due to a lack of communication.

Dzik was wrong inassumingthe date and the committeewas wrongfornot informing him of the date, she said "I think it's a shame he (Dzilc) didn't check. I'm not blaming him though," Marks-Goldsaid.

Accordingto Marks-Goldpart of the problem is that this is the first Parents/Alumni Weekend she has been involved with. Last year's events were already planned when she tookoffice in August of 1990.

'To take the assumption that it(Parents/Alumni Weekend) is that weekend is wrong on both parts' Jennifer Marks-Gold "I had no idea it (athletics) was such an integral part of the weekend,"Marks-Goldsaid Marks-Gold saidthere wasan oversightand it was partly due to no experience."I didn't realizeathleticswas that important," she said.

Hubleyalsowonderedif the alumni willshowupfollowingthis weekend's confusion. Herzog said the athletic alumni only come back for their field of interest,they do not come back "as partoftheCollegeasa whole,"Henog said.

Hubley expressed grave dissappointment regarding the hole situation."I can't put my feelingsinto words," he said Hubley put himself in the parents position because his son Andrew is a freshman soccer player at Bucknell University. "I'd be upset if they were away on homecoming,"he said.

"I thinkit was piss-poorplanning," Gayle Conner, mother of junior Mike Conner, said. "If it wasn't for our daughter we wouldn't even come up (fromOceanCity),"Mrs. Connersaid SueAnn Garrity, mother of junior Kevin Garrity, said she was disappointedbecauseshehadsomuchfun at the events the last two years. "It is somethingwe always looked forward to," she said.

Disappointment is the sentiment echoedby most if not all of the players, especially those who do not live g~ graphicallyclose to Cabrini. ''ltwasarnistake,''Marks-goldsaid, "but I'm happy there are teams here."

"It's a shame (that the soccer team will not be here) but isn't it nice that the women will be in the spotlightfor once," Dale said.

Mrs. Conner said she was vicariously told that an administrator at Cabrinisaid, "isn't it timethe girls had equality."

The dateforParents/AlumniWeekend in 1992 hasbeen set for Oct.4-5, with the soccerteam playing at home. ''The further into October it is the better it is for us (for planning)," Dale said.

Dale.saidthat as far as she can see the weekendwillbe the firstin October in the future. ''Things will work smoother in the future," Dale said.

Both Dale and Henog agreed that it wouldbe a good idea to work on two Parents/AlumniWeekendsatonetime.

This would allowthe date to be known well in advance and allow for proper planning.
