Capitalcampaignaccrues$1.8 million by Karen M. Bell
staff writer
Sinc;e 1988, Cabrini College has been working on a campaign to enable the College to pay for extraordinary projects on campus. Referred to as the Capital Campaign or Comprehensive Campaign, direct results of these garnered funds include the Grace Hall complex, the new soccer field and the tennis courts. This project began almost three years ago and raises funds that are above and beyond the College's annual givings. Monies are acquired from outside sources rather than drawing from student tuitions and the annual givings. Costello said the Board of Trustees and the 1988 campaign staff decided that the goal of this campaign was to raise $7 million. This was a five-
year working goal. "There are necessary steps to take in a campaign. The Capital Campaign has done very well and it has brought the College $1.8 million. This is money that would not have been raised if the college did not have the campaign," Costello said. When looking at the amount of money that they hoped the campaign would bring to the College at this time, Costello said, "The influx of dollars has been slower, but as a whole we are pleased." Gifts to the campaign are not acquired in one lump sum, but rather through pledges or in installments over a certain pledge period. "We have a high pledge rate from the faculty and staff. This makes it easier for us when we search for new pledges, because of the internal support. The administrators are proud and believe in the campaign," Costello said. Mary Ellen Herzog, director of
development, said, ''The campaign raises money for things like the new athletic field, tennis courts, the parking lot and especially the new ~~~~~~~~~~~~,

Sister Eileen Currie, M.S.C., president
by Steve Murray staff writer
After two months of searching the college is getting close to hiring a person for the position of vice president oflnstitutional Advancement, President Sister Eileen Currie, M.S.C., said. The position of vice president was formerly held by Anthony Brocchi, who resigned early this past summer. Currie, with the help of Martha Dale, directorof alumni affairs. and Mary Ellen Herzog, director of development. has narrowed the selection down to two candidates, Currie said. "We are in our finalist stage,"
According to HerzOf, the college is looking for a vice president with the qualities to take the fundraising campaign to new heights. "We want a vice president who is aggressive," Herzog said. "To take us to whole new level we need someone who is skilled and experienced." "We want someone with a lot of experience in the various facets of Institutional Advancement," Currie said. Currie said that the position should be filled by a stronger leader than in the past. "We need someone with more hands on experience than we have had," Currie said. The candidate should be familiar with fund raising since this is what Institutional Advancement is concerned with, Currie said. Herzog said she would like the vice president to have some contacts in the area. Currie said she felt contacts were important, but they do not have to be from this immediate area. According to Dale. while the search for the new vice president

Tampering with children's playtime

The Children's School, located behind physical plant, was the site of vandalism last week on Tuesday, Oct. 16, as unknown persons entered the schoolyard and destroyed the fence in order to remove a toy car used by the children. The car was brought to the new soccer field where it remained until security found it. The incidet disrupted the normal playtime of the children because the vandalism was a distraction and more supervision was required, according to aides at the school.

Senate writes one more bad check The news didn't stop for the Loquitur's hiatus last week. The Thomas confirmation was without a doubt one of the darkest moments in !he history of the American judicial system. A hearing for a justice of the highest court in the land, something that should be undertaken with the utmost seriousness, rapidly declined into a pornographic sideshow, appealing to the basest of intellects. The whole process smacked of a farce from the beginning. It was a slap in the face to educated Americans. How George Bush could nominate Thomas, a man with less than a year's experience as a judge, is beyond our comprehension. Bush showed neglect for the American people by overlooking more qualified judicial candidates in favor of one who would further his political career. On top of these controversial problems, is the racial issue. Bush claims to be against racial quotas. Yet he nominates a black American to succeed a black American. Rather than use this gesture to benefit black Americans, Bush chose a candidate with views that are 'diametrically opposed to the majority of black Americans.' With one swoop, Bush bastardized the concept of affirmative action. As is if this wasn't enough, the American public was subjected to the Thomas confirmation hearings fiasco. The American media showed its true colors on this one, opting to broadcast the hearings only after it became apparent that gratuitous descriptions of sex would be part of the bargain. Had the allegations dealt with tax evasion, the public would have been lucky if the allegations made the B section of the newspaper. While Anita Hill painted a shady picture of Thomas, the fellows on the other side of the table were no gang of choir boys. By now everybody probably knows about the famous "congressional rubber checks," and the House Sergeant at Arms fixing parking tickets. This is the United States Senate. They do bigger and better things. Sen. Joseph Biden,D-De., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was accused of and admitted to plagarism in 1988. His punishment was to drop out of the race. At any college or university, plagarism is the academic equivalent of f!lUrderand warrants the strictest punishment. No overview of the Judiciary Committee would be complete without mentioning Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Ma,.In addition to the Chappaquidick incident, Kennedy is embroiled in a sexual controversy of his own, dealing with an alleged rape by his nephew at his Florida home. All in all,the United States elevated tonew levelsof tastelessness, hypocrisy and dishonesty. One can only hope some type of reform might lend validity to the whole . If not, what will be the next political scandal Americans can look for?
Fall Classic of Life bob healey
sports editor
To every thing a season and to every season a reason. Forget what your calendar reads, Fall commenced on Sat., Oct. 19 at 8:35 p.m. Forget the appearance of golden brown leaves on the ground, forget about the cool brisk evening air. Fall begins simultaneously with the first pitch of the World Series. The World Series imitates life and through watching the Series we can learn about life and living. The Series is about dreams and the hopeful realization thereof. It is about Worholian heroes basking in their 15 minutes of fame. It is Brian Harper, Scott Leius and others like them, rising from obscurity and displaying his skills for a week and a half to the world. It is about renewing old relationships and putting aside differences, coming together as a team and sealing with blood the bond of humanity. But most importantly it is the chasing of a dream, as illusive as it may be, with all your heart, body and soul. Dreams start from the heart an.d sometimes the biggest obstacle is your mind holding your heart like indentured slave, trying to convince it that the dream is not worth chasing. But don't tell that to any of the 48 participants in this year's Series. They have followed their heart, down a path of darkness, often unconditionally, and it led them to a place like heaven. A field where dreams do indeed come true. Sure sometimes following your heart, with partial ignorance to your mind can lead to mistakes and regrets; but that only makes us internally stronger. Besides Columbus thought Cuba was China, so nobody's -perfect. The mere thought of following
your dreams can force some people to become engrossed with fear. That is when a person's courage is put to the almighty test. For courage is not the absence of fear; rather it is the mastery of it. It is realizing that if your dreams are not fulfilled, you can handle the disappointment and proceed in life a better person. It is also the realization that sometimes it is better when we don't get to touch our dreams, as frustrating as it may be, sometimes it is better. • Because for every failure there is a purpose and a reason, even if it is not readily apparent. The World Series, like life, is based in courage and fortified with the mastery of fear.
Sure sometimes following your heart, with partial ignorance to your mind can , lead to mistakes and regrets; but that only makes us intenmlly stronger. Besides Columbus thought Cuba was China, so nobody's perfect. Part of accomplishing the fulfillment of our dreams is seizing the moments of paramount importance. Gr.aot i this is_giffii;_ult. because often we just don't recognize the most significant events in our life while they are happening. We only realize how significant they are years later~ often too late. We have to be careful that while in hot pursuit of our dreams we do not crush the dreams of others. Sometimes our dreams have to remain dreams so others may experience theirs. This is a great sacrifice, a sacrifice many of us can not make, but one we will all be faced with. The most ignorant way to putz through life is not doing anything about your dreams as far-fetched or inane as they may seem. They are still dreams and sometimes they are the only things we can truly call our own.

Commencement speaker: Students want a say in the decision by Renee Corrado staff writer
The senior class has presented its list of possible graduation speakers. Senior class president, Matt Hodlofski, along with the other senior class officers, put the list together. The list includes; ■Barbara Bush, first lady; ■Joseph Biden, US.Sen. for Delaware; ■ Arlen Specter, US.Sen. for Pa.; ■Robert Casey, Governor of Pa; ■Dick Thornberg candidate for US. Senator; ■Secretary of Education of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or of the US.; ■Tom Brokaw, NBC nightly news; ■Bill Moyers, PBS reporter; ■Diane Allen, channel IO news anchor and ■oliver Sachs, neuropsychologist from movie "Awakenings." The list was given to Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student affairs, who forwarded the list to Sr. Eileen Currie, president. She along with the nominating board of trustees will make the ultimate decision. Hodlofski said, "The officers feel strongly about having a say in who the commencement speaker is." April DuHadaway, senior class vice president, added that she was not sure if the officers will have much of a say in who the final choice will be. According to Bonfiglio, Cabrini allots
a budget of about $14,000 for the commencement. After the cost of the chairs, diplomas and music are deducted, there is only about $1,000 left for the guest speaker. Although each of the people on the list is a qualified guest speaker, Bonfiglio said that of all of the people he thought Oliver

'Les Miserables': an emotional journey byKeUJAdams staff writer

There'ssomethinghereforeverybody in "Les Miserables," piesently at The For:,est Theater until November 2. "Les Miserables,••called "the epic of the downtrodden," is the story of Jean Valjean, a good man who is forced to commitacrimeinordertosavehis sister's slar\ling child. Valjean breaks his parole and is relentlessly pursued over the next 17 years by the intrepid Inspector Javert, whose sense of duty is just a tad overdeveloped. During this time, Valjean becomes both a factory worker as well as mayor. He befriends Fantine, a former factory workertumed prostitute, and fulfills her dying wish by raising her daughter, Cosette, as his own. Valjean rescued her from a life of domestic slavery at the hands of the savagely satirical innkeepers, the Thenardiers. The story continues at a frenetic pace to the doomed Parisian uprising of 1832 where a grown-up Cosette falls in love with the idealistic student, Marius. The Thenardiers also find their way to the slums of Paris, where their daughter, Eponine, is secretly in love with Marius.

This film also features the acting talents of Donald Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis, who is currently starring in" Anything But Love" on ABC.
'Nightmare on Elm Street' Another movie which proves the old saying that the first is always the best. This film which stars Robert Englund as the fiendish, razor-handed, son-of-a-hundred-maniacs, child killer broke new ground for a horror movie with the killing taking place in the dreams of teenagers. The horror is potent and original as it takes place in the surrealistic landscape of the mind. This movie is also chock full of stars other than Englund. Johnny Depp, of "Edward Scissorhands" and "21 Jump Street" gets killed as he is sucked into his bed after falling asleep. Definitely one of the better horror films in recent years.
A fun little film about a piece of pudding with a temper. Just kidding! Actually, this 1950's film has some of the best special effects of its time. A meteor that crashes to earth has a life form inside of it which just consumes everything in its path. This foJ'!llis one nobody will forget nor has it been forgotten by anyone who have seen it. This film is more fun than fright and proves that there is always room for J-E-L-L-O.
'The Fly' Perhaps the best classic horror film from the 1950's boasts an original twist to the enlarged animal horror fonnula. While other movies of the time featured wierd experiments which created enlarged animals like the 50-foot spider from "The Spider" , this movie featured a weird experiment which gave a fly the body of a man and a man the body of a housefly. The special effects are goofy at best, but the movie happens to be fun. While it is hard to be frightened watching the giant fly, it is a good movie to watch if you are not in a serious mood.

Comic books are not just Batman and Robin anymore by Kimberly Haban staff writer
the good, the bad and the ugly. One edition of the Rock -n- Roll Comics was based on the rock group Guns -n- Roses. The book depicts the lifestyles of Ax!, Slash and the other band members. The language is graphic but anyone who saw the music awards last year would know that graphic language is common in the band. Drugs and sex are freely written about in Revolutionary Comics. One part of the Guns -n- Roses edition has a drawing and a caption
one obscenity and a reference to drugs. Revolutionary Comics were first published in 1989 and are targeted toward a 14-year-old market. "We are trying to use stories of people with whom kids are familiar," Todd Loren, publisher and president of Revolutionary Comics, said. "We just wantto show them to believe in their dreams and show them what not to do to get there." Revolutionary Comics have
Do you remember when you were younger, paging through the colorful pages of a Spidennan or Wonder Woman comic book? Do you remember silently cheering on your favorite superhero as he fought battles against vicious villains? Maybe you remember and maybe you, as many adults do, still read those comic books now. Most of us are familiar with superhero comic books. Now there is a new line of comic books out that 'We are trying to use stories of people who tell real life stories about real live people. Gone are the fantasy stokids are familiar with. We just want to show ries. These comic books tell it like them to believe in their dreams and show it is. them what not to do to get there.' The line of comic books is called Revolutionary Comics and has the motto "Unauthorized and proud of - Todd Loren, publisher and president of it." They range from Rock -n- Roll Revolutionary Comics Comics to Conspiracy Comics to Baseball Superstars Comics. Although these comic books are which shows singer/songwriter been fighting to establish comic about different subjects, they do Lenny Kravitz offering to share a books as a communications mehave a common thread. They tell joint with Slash. Other parts of the dium. They want to change the the story of famous people, people book have quotes from the band status quo of the industry.

In 1955, the Comics Code uncensored. These comics include page of the comic book has at least was established. The code has some
strict guidelines. in Loren's opinion. Nothing controversial can be written about, no obscene words can be in the text and comic books should be written about one subject, the superhero. Revolutionary Comics do not stick to the Comics Code. Another comic book they wrote in their line of Conspiracy Comics was about thedeathofMarilynMonroe. Was it murder or suicide? Monroe's death was quite a controversy and Revolutionary Comics picked up on it. They wrote about Monroe's involvements with men like Robert Kennedy and Frank Sinatra. Her involvement with drugs and alcohol is also depicted in this comic book. The information used to create thes comic books is compiled from various media sources. They do tons and tons of research, said Loren. They accumulate articles on political people, entertainment figures and sports stars. Loren said they have libraries of information. Loren also said that when trying to get an interview with someone, they sometimes use fake names so the people will give them information. When there are no quotes to use, the writers of Revolutionary Com-
ics use poetic license. An example given by Herb Shapiro, vice president of Revolutionary Comics, is when two people are having a fight behind closed doors and they come out agreeing, you basically know what was said. Comic books are sold worldwide. If a person in this area wanted to purchase a comic book, they would probably go to the store Comics and More in the King of Prussia Mall. Comics and More does sell Revolutionary Comics. They are not a big seller at the store according to Jess Feliciane, full time employee at the store. She said if people are interested in the group the book is about they will buy it. "It's average artwork, nothing spectacular," Feliciane said. Most other comic books such as Marvel and D.C. have detailed artwork, a storyline and some sort of hero. Revolutionary Comics is more of an infonnational type comic book. Sophomore Deanna D' Alfonso does not think Revolutionary Comics is the typical comic book. She thinks of comics with heroes like Spiderman and Batman. "Anyone can make the story of Marilyn Monroe into a comic." Laura Walker, senior, said.

'Achoo': the common cold

Students recognized
by Christopher McMahon by Tara Kegel
staff writer
staff writer
Are you feeling tired, run-down, a little under the weather? Do not fear, you 're among the many people on campus who are currently plagued with a cold. This time of year brings many people to their knees. The pressure of school work coupled with the change of seasons can render even the most careful student powerless over sickness. The close-knit community of Cabrini also helps to spread a cold rather efficiently. Sue Fitzgerald, co~lege nurse, said that most of the kids that have been in for help are complaining of cold symptoms. "Most of the kids are really suffering from allergies," Fitzgerald said. "The symptoms may look the same but there is a difference." Fitzgerald said that when students get into a close environment, they pick up anything that goes around. "One good way to avoid picking up a bug is to wash your hands thoroughly whenever neccessary." In a recent issue of "Health Report" by Sue Berkman.David Fairbanks,M.D.,a clinical professor at George Washington University, Washington ,D.C. said,"Millions of people sniffle and sneeze everyday, but the cause of a stuffy nose isn't always obvious. Nasal congestion-a stuffy nose- is a symptom that can accompany many different disorders." Anita Marland, health services nurse at Eastern College said,"If the student is suffering from cold symptoms the best thing to do is take a decongestant with an allergy-fighting ingredient. If the student suffers a sore throat for more than three days, they should see a doctor for a throat culture," Marland said. Unfortunately, the allergy season continues until the first frost. Until then, many will suffer. According to Marland, bed rest and fluids still seems to be the best way to rid your body of a cold.

staff writer "I believe that anyone can write if they have the strength to look within themselves." So said Cary Holladay, a new faculty member teaching creative writing on Saturday mornings at Cabrini. Holladay has five years experience teaching.at the university level in poetry, composition and literature. Holladay has taught at LaSalle University, Pennsylvania State University, Ogontz branch campus, University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Salisbury University. Among the long list ofHolladay's published works is "The People Down South", a collection of short stories set in the South, Holladay's home when she was younger. The work received the 1986 Fiction Network Short Fiction Contest. One of Holladay's latest works has appeared in the South African edition of Cosmopolitan magazine. A fellow writer of fiction, Sara Vogan, author of "Loss of Flight."said, "If you want a window into the lives of ordinary people who have extraordinary experiences, you should read Cary Holladay. She writes about people with the deadly accuracy of a speeding bullet. Straight and true and right on target," Vogan said. "My theory about fiction is that it starts with people in trouble of some sort. Life is not always pleasant and that is a great source of material," Holladay said. "A writer of fiction has to be able to incorporate a certain amount of their own experience into the effort. Much of the material for a story comes from a personal experience," Holladay said. On Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 12:30, p.m. Holladay read one of her short stories entitled "Doll"in the Widener Center Lecture Hall. The story was both sad and funny.

It was a miserable, rainy afternoon on Thursday, Oct. 17, but the sun was shining bright in Grace Hall's Atrium. Proud parents, anxious students, supportive faculty and friends all gathered for the Fall Convocation ceremony. But the weather took on a different meaning for President Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC. "Rain is a sign of blessing," Currie said when welcoming those present. "We are fortunate to have so many raindrops falling today." Dr. Joseph J. Romano, professor of philosophy, gave the Convocation Address. "We are not here to get ready for the real world," Romano said. "Those who say that a college community is preparing you for the real world are in a way insulting you because they make light of what you are doing now. They imply that it is not as important as what comes later. As if you were to fall off the edge of college life and land in the real world ...We are a community dedicated to the goal of learning," Romano said. Following the Convocation Address, eight students received The Charles A. Mastronardi Service and Leader~Ne Award and eighteen scholarships were presented. Among the award winners, seriiors Jennifer Morrison and Jacqueline Ricci both agreed it was nice to be recognized. One hundred fifty-one students earned dean's list certificates as a result of attaining a 3 .5 grade point average in the spring semester of 1991. However, only 60 students were present to receive them. "It's a shame they had it at 12:20 in the afternoon. It was unfortunate for the parents who were unable to attend," junior Sheri Bangle said.

Semester legalpartyendsin nearbrawl by Patricia Daley staff writer
Four fights brought the music and dancing to a halt at Cabrini's first legal party of the year. The toga party, hosted by Houses 5 and 6 in the Widener Center Gathering Area, was supposed to end at 1 a.m. "I was hoping there would be no fights," Catherine Caulfield, director of resident life, said. - "Giving them (the fighters) booze was like adding fuel to the fire," Richard Kralle, director of security and safety, said. ■
Organizing the party Many people involved in the party had to attend a workshop headed by registered nurse Eileen McAlinney, counseling center health educator. During the workshop, the houses learned how to host a party with alcohol, responsibly. Situations that might occur were acted out in role playing to help each person deal with possible situations. Cabrini's party policy helps to take the pressure off one person and lessen some of those responsibilities. It combines the state's and college's alcohol regulations. One rule of the policy is a party request form must be handed to the director of
resident life if the party is in a residential hall or the director of student activities if the party is held outside of residence halls. The final decision comes from Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student affairs. "They have to do a lot, but any party is a responsibility," Caufield said. For each party, after the primary decision is made, sponsors of legal age must be found, active participants must attend a party seminar, the amount of people allowed to attend has to be calculated, and arrangements for food must be made, followed by paperwork. Each party must also have a theme.
The idea of a legal party is 'cool but a hassle.' -John Osborn, senior John Osborn, senior, resident of Lanshe house (House 6), agreed with Caufield, "There is so much responsibility involved." According to Osborn, the idea of a legal party is "cool but a hassle." "In general, people understand the constraints of the school and the legal policies," Bonfiglio said. People with proper ID were given black wrist bands to enable them to drink. Names
and birth dates were also given to the identification checkers to prevent false identification and underage drinking. "It needs to be updated and changed for obvious reasons," Jennifer Marks-Gold, director of student services, said. The policy is geared towards legal house parties, not parties scheduled to be held in the Widener Center Gathering Area, according to MarksGold. "We brought it to Bob Bonfiglio's attention to change the policy, or have two," Frank Emmerich, president of the student government association, said. According to Emmerich, the Board of trustees decided the policy would be rewritten by a panel of students and SGA. By the end of November the policy will be presented to Cabrini's attorney to be checked and finalized. "They are giving us this huge responsibility for the students to create a workable document that we can live by," Emmerich said. Members of the board of trustees felt there would be "better abidance" if the policy was written and enforced by fellow students. "It is a huge commitment on the part of the house," Christina Roach, resident assistant of Casey house, said. "It was a lot of work."

Partypolicy underrevision by students by Belinda!Hsher

The student affairs sub-committee of the College Board of Trustees has agreed to allow students the chance to revise the party policy in accordance with state laws. Students have expressed opposition to the of prohibition of kegs for legal parties in the on-campus houses since most residents are 21 years of age. A fonnal letter was submitted by the Student Government Association (SGA) addressing the issue. "The board has the guts to tackle anything," senior Frank Emmerich, president of SGA, said. If a proposal is submitted and approved within three · to four weeks the policy may become effective by spring of 1992. Suggestions c~ussed with Emmerich or brought to the SGA office. Emmerich said that the organization is not facing many problems at this time but he added. "As always we'll get some opposition to some of our proposals . Mostly the opposition challenges you to prove that it is in the best intrests of the college. Student input helps prove there is a need." "This year, we're trying to enhance

Teaching students and children the value of education By Catherine DeHart staff writer
With the increasing number of working parent families and single working parents, child daycare has become a priority. Cabrini's own Children's School plays a part in the world of efficient daycare for children of Cabrini staff and surrounding communities. The Children's School, located behind physical plant, was established in 1974 by Cabrini for Cabrini. "It's fantastic," Leslie Sutton-Skinner, office manager for the admissions office. Sutton-Skinner's daughter, Kelly, has been with the Children's school for three years. · "The teachers are supportive and 1 feel like Kelly is taken care of in my own home,"
Sutton-Skinner said. Ellen Jackson, director of the Children's School and on the staff for 15 years, stated the message behind the school is to provide a service to Cabrini and the surrounding community. Jackson also said that the school is based on the British Infant School theory, which emphasizes hands-on learning and family grouping. Jackson describes the atmosphere of the school as "a nice, family feeling." Even though the Children's school does not do much advertising, Jackson says they have a sincere following. "We have good feedback from parents," Jackson said. There are 45 children in the full and halfday programs that the school offers. Jackson explained this is a steady figure compared to past enrollment figures. The school is staffed
with two full-time early childhood education certified teachers, one part-time certified teacher and one aide. There are also 12 work study and work grant students at the school. The school is independent from the College, in that they establish their own budget and cover their costs. Jackson said Cabrini gave the building to the Children's School and pays utilities and covers the insurance for the school. Other expenses are those of the school. The budget of the Children's School is tuition paid. Jackson said the program is split into either a half day or a whole day schedule. The tuition cost is based on the program selected . There is a registration fee of $50. The Children·s School works closely with the education department. Education majors go to the Children's School to com-
plete observations, fullfill their placements and work with the children on special activities. Jackson said social activity is real life for a child and if they develop social skills in pre-school they will be ahead when they enter elementary school. Jackson tries to teach the children understanding and compassion, by helping the children start a program of making and distributing holiday baskets. "It is important for children to participate in these things," Jackson said. Sutton-Skinner feels that her child is ahead of the game, because of using time to get adjusted to a classroom situation, she is learning and experiencing more. Jackson feels that the Children's School is a service to the faculty, staff and students at Cabrini.

Implementingnew ideas alongwiththe old by Belinda Desher
staff writer
The Student Government Association (SGA) is bringing in new activities and members, while still keeping the old. New social events and fundraisers have been introducd by SGA but they are still planning the all-time favorite haunted house and Superthon Students took center stage during the Lip Sync contest sponsored by SGA on Oct. l 0. The contest was the scheduled entertainment for the under 21 night at "Thursdays", the Cabrini club scene. Audra Paoleschi, Trish Grieb, Suzanne Marotta, and Lisa Lipar took first place im~rsonating female "hippies" with mustaches mouthing the words to the Doobie Brothers tune "What a fool believes." Second place was won by Frank Sciolla, Chris Monaco and Lenora Veterano will their performance of Marky Mark's current top 40 hit "Good Vibrrations."
"We've had a terrific tum out for 'Thursdays"' Jennifer Morrison, social activities chairperson said. There will be three under21 "Thursdays" events and five over-21 nights at "Thursdays," according to Morrison. Oct. 24 is the next over 21 "Thursdays" event. SGA intends to make "Thursdays" for the under-21 crowd. Scheduled in November, will be the Cabrini equivalent of the television show, "Studs." The show will involve two men and three women who give detailed accounts of their horrific dates. Speaking of horror, Mark Mellor, vicepresident, and Kim Haban, social activities assistant, are coordinating the haunted house"screams, suspense and visits from the supernatural" which will run from Oct. 24, 25 and 26 in Xavier Hall. Due to the parking crunch, cars will be checked by security for l)arking tags. Visitors and students who lack tags will have to park behind Sacred Heart Hall in order to prevent traffic congestion. SGA activities staff is evaluating the
pros and cons of last year's Superthon to make changes for the coming year. Planning for the spring formal is underway. The tenative dates are April 3 or April
Osborn and John Quirus. The newly elected first year officers are Don Scioli as president, Ambreen Alladin as vice-president, Julie Wooton as treasurer, Steve May as secretary, Deana Fletcher as commuter representative and Megan McKeough, Caroline Smith and Melissa Tobias are the social activities representatives. Kelly Reed is the executive board treasurer and handles all the money for 12 clubs on campus with the exception of Kappa Sigma Omega and the student classes. Each must present a constitution, a proposal of expenditures and a list of the officers to Chesna to determine the budget for each club. Reed handles all the accounts. She said, "no blank checks are ever written out. We help the clubs get on their feet with a budget but any money made and left over at the end of the year goes to SGA." An audit is conducted once a month. Reed and the four class treasurers audit how SGA is spending its money. Reed said that the only problem she is experiencing is that the budget is very tight.

continues the college has hired Gwinn Scott, a consultant form Martsand Lundy, to handle some duties of vice president. "Gwinn Scott is really standing in for the vice president," Dale said. Herzog agreed with Dale that Scottis handling the majority of duties of vice president. Scott is guiding alumni and development office throughthe current campaign, since the role of vice president is to act as guide during campaigns, Currie said. The college is currently involved in a five year campaign that started in May of 1990. "A lot of duties of the vice president, frankly are not being done," Dale said. According to Dale, there is no representative from Institutional Advancement out in the community making contacts and pursuing possible donors. 'The reason some of the duties of the vice president are not being carriedout is because the consultant's time is too expensive," Herzog said.
She knows what to do and is helping us to make this campaign even better," Herzog said. Costello said, "There are approximately 72 campaigns going on in the Philadelphia area. This kind of campaign is not just for colleges. The arts and other programs have begun campaigns similar to the one we have." "The board is constantly re-evaluating the campaign, but as of now, the goal will stand at $7 million no matter how long the process will take," Costello said.

To many. the approaching cold weather means a termination of their outdoor activities or exercising habits. Well. fear no more because there are solutions for those willing to take on the challenge of the outdoors and substitu1es forthose planning to take the "body beautiful"' inside. According to John Kagen, an instructor from the Club La Maison, keeping in shape is a year-round event and for those who seem unaffected by the brisk weather, a few extra layers of clothing to be removed at one's leisure throughout the exercise can be an asset. Yet, the stretching and cooling down . exercises before and after the routine are of greater significance. During the colder seasons if the muscles are not properly stretched one is more prone to straining and injuries. To those individuals who prefer to take their athletic souls indoors, Kagen suggested climbing up the bleachers and walking up thestairs more briskly and forcefully, thereby working the quadriceps and hamstrings. Also calisthenics, isometrics, push-ups, dips and squats can be done free of equipment. For those who have access to the nautilus machines they are also extremely healthful, Kagen said. Both Cabrini trainers Bill Lukasiewicz and Joan Quinn of the women's hockey team agreed on the importance of stretching and cooling down exercises. Quinn said that oftentimes people do not stretch enough or, worse yet, disregard this aspect altogether. She said she could not stress the importance of it enough, especially during the winter season.

The Lady Cavs placed second to Northeast Christian in the Rosemont tournament. Game one went to Northeast Christian and Cabrini took the last two games 15-7 and 15-8. The match was one of the most satifying victories for the LadyCavs thus far in the season. "It was satisfying to finally beat them after losi~g to them twice during the season," junior Pam Weekes said. "It feels great to beat them after they took away first place from us in the Rosemont Tournament," senior Kathy McLane said. The Northeast Christian victory was attributed to the team's ability to work together. "It was our best match all season. We came together as a team," junior Laurie MacA voy said. In the final game, Cabrini was defeated by Shenandoah. The team didn't play with the same intensity
as they had in the otherthree games. "In the last match against Shenandoah, the girls didn't talk to each other as much as they had all day and that really hurt us," Harrigan said.

The Lady Cavs placed third overall in their bracket. The team did well under the circumstances. "We were shorthanded due to injuires and other commitments. It was a good showing to prepare us for the ESAC championships," assistant coach Joe Malizia said. The Lady Cavs played tough all day,andmanypositivethingscame out of the tournament. "The girls played hard today and I saw a lot of positive things. Laurie Mac A voy and Debbie Malveaux served well. Amy Crossley had some nice blocks, Cathy McLane and Jill Saam played great defensive all day. However, the highlight of the day was defeating Northeast Christian," Harrigan said. Having all of these teams come together is great competition and a lot of fun for the players. "The tournament was fun. It's nice to see all of the teams together," MacAvoy said. "There was some good competition here today and it was enjoyable too," Malizia said.
Girls, beer and other things that crossed my mind as Shane Ferguson inched towards Glenn Jaskelewicz 's career goals scored record. I wrote in my first opinion column that the soccer team is the best sports team on campus. At the time I really thought they were. All the components neccesary for success were present on the team. However, the team has by no means performed up to mine or their lofty expectations. Two rookie goalies make it difficult for even the best of teams, but the play of first-year -students Brad Vodges and Steve Spence has been solid. The team lacks a second big scorer. Junior Glenn Jaskelew_icz is an outstanding player, but he has been stymied in some games by double and triple teams. There was an obvious need for someone else to pick up the slack that he sometimes leaves. The men have had some excellent wins and some emotionally crushing losses. Above all, the goal of consistency is something the men must strive to attain. An NCAA bid was attainable and it will be again nexl year. The team loses seniors Joe Cavaliere and Billy Di Rita and they do provide the lion's share of the team's heart. However, there are young players eager to fill their shoes. Next year will be the Cavs best oppurtunity to capture the ESAC title for the next few years. Then again, I could be wrong ... NAH! It was a great feeling watching the field hockey team earn it's first victory against Beaver. There is nothing like the first win and hopefully the ladies remember how it felt. It wasnice to see junior Celeste Eschbach back on the court fulltime this year. She certainly didn't forget the feeling or how to win. It's a shame that sophomore Mary Ann Walker left the tennis team. She was an integral part of the team, but no one should have to perform where they are not happy. Come on Reggie, say your sorry. The team needs Walker next year. Now that the fall sports season is almost over, I'll mention a few things that were fun to watch.
* The heart of the field hockey team. * Billy DiRita- What more can you ask than 100% * Tennis-Celeste, Suzie and Eileen, but April Scott was red hot. * Chris Schreiner-The John Stockton of soccer. *John Quirus getting a shot and making the most ofit. * Pam, Lori and Kathy diving for the volleyballs. FUTl;RE STARS * Michael Tims-Good skills and some deliciously dirty tricks. *Suzie Lafferty-Not just the best scorer but the only scorer . *Eileen Doyle- She pumped new life into the tennis team. NATIONALLY * Quadry Ismail-Rocket who? ··~ome Bettis- Somewhere.]ohnRiggins is smiling. * Steve Avery-So young and so good. * Ricky Ervins- Another great Redskins running back. * Brad Goebel- NOT.I * Emmill Smith- move over Tony D. * Tharon Mays-The Johnny Johnson of the NBA Pugilistic Notes It was so much fun watching the Great White Hoax Tommy Morrison get clobbered by Ray Mercer last Friday night. Morrison got the fight because of his skin color. He has fought so many ham and eggers he could have opened up a breakfast bar. Our society is so hungry for a white heavyweight champion. Keep dreaming! With pseudopugilists like Morrison, Gerry Cooney and Duane Bobick it's no wonder we have boxing movies. That is the only place where our countries mostly white population can live out their backward fantasies. What a total joke. Well it has been an interesting fall and I have three good reasons to be happy.

Athlete of the week
Mclane's serve is· ace by Anna Rodriguez
staff writer
Oct. 14-19 was a most challenging week for the Lady Cavs volleyball team. They spent their week playing against Widener, Lincoln, Gwynedd Mercy and to top it off, the tournament. The Lady Cavs were defeated 3-0 at both Widener (6-15,9-15,3-15) and Lincoln (7-15,10-15,14-15). but managed to win a game at Gwynedd Mercy (6-l5,7-15,15l0,7-15).· According to coach Jim Harrigan, the women's performance this past week may have been attributed to the fact it was mid-tenn week and not necessarily because the end of the season is approaching. "There were a lot of unforced mistakes and the missed serves were more hurtful than anything else. Their match against Lincoln was the best they played all week," Harrigan said. Nevertheless, this week's athlete of the week stems right from this hardworking team. As Harrigan stated, her positive attitude, hustle and hard work really showed during last week's grueling games. She says that in five- IOyears from now she hopes to be a certified public acountant with a big family (preferably six kids), living in the Radnor area and cruising in no less than a black saab convertible. Kathy McLane, comes from a big high school in a small
town called Pittston. Her intentions were to go to Rutgers, but upon discovering that it was going to take her 20 minutes to get to class while on campus, she deferred. McLane came to take a look at Cabrini upon the suggestion of one of her teachers, an alumni of Cabrini, and fell in love with the area. Joining the volleyball team in her sophomore year was not quite her idea, but that of her roomate Jen McKee. If it was not for her roomate she would have not have played, McLane said. Now in her senior year McLane said that she plays volleyball for many reasons, to exercise, because its fun, to represent the school, to be part of a team and most importantly to get together with people sharing the same interests. McLane says that now when she goes home during the summertime she plays at beach. So its truly become a part of her. When she plays she is not concerned with the pain or the struggle. "It's an opportunity to influence others through what they may see in her, especially the benchers," McLane said. McLane said she sees herself as someone who fights for what she believes in and has no qualms about her opinion, as well as a hardworking and honest person. Oh, and to what she thought about being chosen athlete of the week. "I'm surprised, but I have been working my butt off," McLane said.

This still is, without a doubt, the best team Cabrini soccer has seen. "We showed the way we could play against Stocton State U." Di Rita said. "We played as a great team." ''The next four games and next year we will be a very, very good team." Tims said. "After the team playing with two new starters, we should be different after playing together."

The cavs will next be in action on Sat., Oct. 26 at home against Salisbury.

Cross-countrystill can't place a team By JudiJh A. Panasik
staff writer Despite a small amout of runners, the womens cross country team had an impressive outing on Sat. Oct. 19, at the Allentown Invitational. Unfortunately, only four of the five runners were able to compete so they were not able to run as a team. There were over 200 runners from over25 different schools. Senior Denise Tucker had the best score on the team finishing 67th with, 22:26, which was her best time resently, according to coach Tom O'Hora. First-year student Melanie Bruno finished 106th with a score of 23:42. The third highest score on the team was Jacqueline Albrecht finishing I 12th with 23:56. Veronica O'Hora also ran in the meet. First-year student Tammy Pfeiffenberger was unable to run due to a knee injury. The womens cross country team is made up of three full-time players and two part time players. O'Hora and Pfeiffenberger also play for the field hockey team as well as run for cross country. In order for them to compete as a team there must be five runners at a scheduled meet, according to coach O'Hora. Both Pfeiffenberger and O'Hora just go to the meets and are unable to practice with the rest of the team, however this was understood according to coach O'Hora. Bruno said that although there aren't a lot of people on the team those who are on it are great and that they help each other. Bruno also said how much she and her fellow teammates appreciate
Pfeiffen berger and O 'Hora running on the team. On the men's cross country team, senior Chris Callinan finished 53rd with 28:26. Sophomore Joel McGovern came in right after Callinan finishing 54th with 28:27. Senior Tom O'Donnell finished 126th with 30:38. Senior John Osborn also ran in the Saturday meet. Sophomore Howard Kelly was unable to run due to an injury that occurred the previous week at the Dickerson Invitational. According to coach O'Hora, Callinan had been doing really well at practice but has recently hurt his back and was having a little bit of a problem. Tucker on the other hand has had an injury free season and con-·· tinues to do better and better, O'Hora said. According to O'Hora. Bruno wasn't that strong a runner in high school but is doing an outstanding job as a freshman. Bruno, who ran for three years at St. Hubert's High School in Philadelphia, compared her high school program with Cabrini's program. "Coming from a high school where the coach didn ·1 care to <:;abriniwhere .they get extra care and attention is great." Bruno said. On Sat. Oct. 26. the cross country team is competing at the Bard Invitational in the Catskills. The mens team is coming back as the defending champion.

Bon Mot er Faux Pas Ir~ this year's Street and Smith's baseball preview, writer Maury Allen picked the Atlanta Braves to finish dead last in the National League West. "The Braves won't win anything in 1990, but they may start causing some other clubs to use their best players to beat them. That will be the surest sign of progress," Allen said. Also. Joe Goddard who previewed the American League, predicted the Minnesota Twins to finish last in the West. "The Minnesota Twins appearto be a team in disarray, having deteriorated from their World Series championship in 1987 to last place a year ago," Goddard said.
The Manager Is Toast Last Friday, the Chicago Cubs fired manager Jim Essian making him the second managing casuality the club has suffered this year. Essian replaced Don Zimmer 38 games into the campaign but the team finished the season on a disappointing note. Maybe Cub management fired Essian because its two free agent pitchers Danny Jackson and Dave Smith, who earned $4.5 million this year, were a combined 1-12 and each were on the disabled list twice. Essian was the 13th manager fired this year and the sixth in the National League East to be released. Jim Fregosi, who replaced Nick Leyva early in the year, is already third in seniority in the N.L. East.
Coach Meat Is No Loaf Marvin Lee Aday is moonlighting with a second job this year. By day, he is rock 'n' roll artist Meat Loaf while by night, he coaches the girls' softball team at Joel Barlow High in Redding, Conn. Meat Loaf is a baseball nut and his hit song "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" featured the voice of the Scooter, Phil Rizzuto and makes a baseball analogy to the trials and tribulations of primitive teenage backseat passion, the lust for carnal knowledge and the eternal, finite consequences thereof. Before the birth of his eldest daughter Pearl, 16, Meat Loaf told a New York reporter , "I don't care if it is a boy or a girl as long as it is a shortstop."

The team arrived in Virginia on Thursday, Oct. 17, to play Shenandoah University, but the match was nainedout. 1bis gave the team theopportunityto make the drive to Maryland a little sooner. Once the team arrived to play in the championships, they played the best they had all season. According to coach Reggie Day, "they peaked at the right time." Day said that the team went through some rough times in the first half of the season with a record of 2-5. Towards the end of the second half of the season their record improved to 10-6. "A lot of people were ready to write us off," Day
said. But as the team proved in the championships, they work hard and pulled off a successful season. Susie Detrick, senior, has played on the team for three years. This past weekend she won the #2 seed singles, for the second consecutive year, with a bye in the first round, a win in the second round against Allentown College 6-2, 6-0, and a final win against Frostburg State University 6-3, 6-4. Sophomore Eileen Doyle won her match against Salisbury State 6-1, 7-6. According to Day this was a tough match for Doyle. Doyle lost to Frostburg on in the third set of the semi-finals 3-6, 6-4, 3-6. Joelle Spagnola, sophomore, had a bye in the first round and won against Salisbury State in a semi-final match 7 -6, 6-7, 6-1. In the first round against Shenandoah, Apri I Scott, junior, won 6-1, 6-2. Scott lost in the semi-finals to Frostburg 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Christina Jester, sophomore, won by default in the first round against Shenandoah, and lost in the semi-finals against Salisbury 6-1, 7-6.

Jester and Scott finished third in their bracket by defeating Shenandoah in thee0!¥.!8lation match. This is·Scott's · first year starting and she has "really improved," Day said. Spagnola and Detrick also shined in their doubles match by defeating Allentown 6-4, 6-1. They lost to Marywood, the eventual overall winners, in the semifinals 5-7, 6-0, 6-4. Cabrini ended up placing fourth overall in the championships. The team is now looking forward to an invitational at home this weekend, Oct. 26 and 27. Tearm-participatingin the invitational include lmmaculata College, Rosemont College, Philadelphia Community College, Allentown and Gwynedd Mercy College. Looking ahead to the spring season, the team is planning to travel to Hilton Head, N.C. and participating in a tournament in Easton, where they have played the past two years. "We are a team to be reckoned with. We overcame some obstacles and I am very proud," Day said.
4th Time 'Round Lonnie Smith of the Atlanta Braves is playing in his fourth World Series with his fourth different team. The previous three were all winners: the '80 Phillies, '82 Cardinals and '85 Royals. No player has four World Series rings with four different teams. This is a pretty amazing record for a guy who just four years ago was a recovering, down-on-his luck, unemployed drug addict who early in his career was dubbed "Skates" because he had a hard time keeping his feet.

Delaware Tech. wins Fall Classic ■
by Lisa M. Rose staff writer "Set it up," "Kill it," "Mine," "Let's go Cabrini," were all phrases which echoed through the Sacred Heart gymnasium during the Cabrini College Fall Classic held on Saturday, Sept. 19th. The fall classic is a volleyball tournament hosted by Cabrini College. The following ten teams participated in the tournament: Bryn Mawr, Cedar Crest, Allentown, Stockton State, Delaware Tech., Northeast Christian, Rosemont, Cabrini, Mary wood, and Shenandoah. The Lady Cavs played four games throughout the day. In the first round of play, Cabrini lost to Marywood, but came back to defeat Rosemont. Junior Tracy Loftus said that the loss hurt the team but their comeback helped them in the next match. "The loss against Marywood brought us down but we came back to win the second match against Rosemont. We started talking and helping each other a lot more.
