Search committee decides on semi-finalists

by Kimberly Marshall editor-in chief

Over the next few months, the 14 member search committee will be choosing a new president.

The committee, consisting of trustees, administrators, faculty, alumni and students was led by two consultants and met for two full days on Tuesday, Oct. 22, and Wednesday, Oct. 23, to review resumes of presidential applicants.

The general consensus of the committee was pleased with the number and quality of the applicants. Sister Regina Casey, MSC, chair of the board of trustees, said that they expected well over I 00

responses and that is what they received.

Sister Mary of Lourdes, IHM, trustee and chairperson of the search committee, said that the committee will not be able to satisfy everyone.

"As you know, God could come down to the campus and not satisfy everyone,"Sister Maryof Lourdes said.

Edith Robb Dixon, trustee, said that Dr. Charles Neff, consultant, thinks there is a president in the group remaining from the original applicants. "There was a response of strong candidates, which speaks highly of Cabrini," science instructor and alumna, Angela Zager said.

"It would be a shame if a president did not surface from all of this

work," Dixon said while pointing out the fact that choosing finalists does not guarantee that they will accept the position. _ ·'Jthinkthecommittee ispleased with the process and realizes we couldn't have done it without an outside consultant. It is a more objective way of doing it," Sister Mary of Lourdes said.

The committee split into three groups to review the resumes. Dr. Anthony Tomasco, chairof the psychology department, said that in the end, everyone did get to look at all of the resumes.

According to Charles Jeffers, an alumnus, everyone got to see twothirds of the applications with the remainder on file, if the members

wished to view them.

Junior Eric Klansek, a student _ representative said, "I understand the mission after reading 129 resumes. You can't read them all.

We have to trusteach other to make professional decisions."

Tomasco said he does know that there was some concern expressed by the staff that they were not represented. "I also realize we.can't use a convention hall to have an interview," Tomasco said. Jeffers said that it has not come down to members arguing that the faculty wants this and the students want something else. "We are all trying to find the best person we can,'' (

Taylor said, "Security completely overreacted." He refused to expand on this comment. "We're not playing games. If they commit the crime, they do the time," Kralle said.

The result of the citation is a 50- 300 fine Kralle said.

The students can either have their case y a judge or plead guilty according to Kralle. They have 10 days to ap~al the citation.

Security apprehended the trio driving toward Sacred Heart Hall in Young's red Buick at around midnight. Young, the driver, was found with the fire extinguisher on his lap Kralle said.

Eggs werealso scattered on the backseat according to Kralle. "We were looking for them since 10:45 becausethey were spraying peoplewiththe fire extinguisher," Kralle said.

Young's car was towed "for failure to

Keeping the spirit alive Students andfaculty gathered in the Mansion dining room last year for a Town Meeting out of concern for the college's direction.

This. meeting was called to reunite a campus toni apart. Vandalism, a diminishing relationship betweeen the administration and students and lack of interest was bringing down the college's morale. The Town Meeting took a "grassroots" approach to bring back the Cabrini spirit.

A feeling of unity and accomplishment flourished on that rainy night when about 200 students and their respected professors brainstormed to fmd the solutions to the problems confronting the college.

The gathering went beyond a gripe session. The campus community searched for answers while students freely voiced concerns about lack of communication, self-governance and commuter involvement.

The Town Meeting evolved into the Town Council with subcommittees to work on various problems. Unfortunately, the original spirit of the Town Meeting got lost in bureaucracy. It fell victim to a problem it tried to fix--red tape and lack of leadership.

Even though the spirit was stifled, positive results from the meeting are visible on campus today. The self-governance committee successfully pushed for sanctions to be publi~hed in the handbook and appointments to college committees are now better publicized. The over-21 crowd also has "Thursdays,"a place to socialize on campus.

But the meeting had the potential to deliver more. Along with the college's new wave of problems, there remain requests which originated from the Town Meeting and still need to be addressed. Students are still asking for improvements and extended hours in the Wigwam. Have the Town Council subcommittees considered getting together this year to resolve the old as well as the new problems?

The con:,.munication barrier still stands. Decisions affecting students' lives are being made without student input. First we w.ere kepi in the dark about the 15 percent tuition hike until the end of spring semester. When we returned we were told there would be no more parking in the Mansion courtyard. Students were not consulted for alternative solutions.

The college is in the process of selecting its leader for the next decade. The students who will be under the direct guidance of this leader have only two representatives involved in the process.

Itis up to the students to take action about these issues confronting the college.

The faculty is giving the student body another chance to rekindle enthusiasm on Cabrini Spirit Day, Tuesday, Nov. 12. This day presents an opportunity for all of us to learn what the mission of the college is really about. It is not just a day without classes.

Through this mission statement, the college calls the students to go beyond themselves and to serve the community at large. There is a generation of AIDS victims, homeless people and crack babies crying for help.

But while implementing the mission statement to the outside community, let's make it also work within our own. Bring back the Town Meeting.

To the editor:

any attempt made to get suggestions from the senior class at large? If there was, it's news to me. The names on that list seem to fall into one of two categories: l) People the college could never get becausewe lack prestige and money, and 2) People we hope we can never get because we couldn't bear to listen to them.

Worse than that, is the fact that SisterCurrie and the board of trustees will make the final choice. Why can't the entire senior class vote on it? Are they afraid that we'll pick Saddam Husseinor Jeffrey Dahmer or something?

This year the Rudy Rooymans Counseling Center is fil1edwith "any numberofpossibilities," according to Dr. Lili GoodmanWaechtler, a counselor at the center. Programs this year will be student initiated.. However, Dr. Daniel Schwarz, director of the Counseling Center, has a few ideas in planning According to Goodman-Waechtler, the Counseling Center's outreach programs will be dependant upon students' requests and suggestions. "We are befog reactive rather than proactive," Goodman-Waechtler said.

This is a result of poor reception of programs initiated by the Counseling Center in the past.

The rationale is that when a program comes from the students, "the interest, attention and fo1low-upis there," Goodman-Waechtler said.

Programs of the past, such as Power Napping and Dream Interpretation, are still available at request of students. GoodmanWaechtler suggests that if a student or a group of students have interest in a particular program, they should contact her or another counselor at center. Students are strongly encouraged to do so. Also, all resident assistants are aware of what programs. are available.

Individual counseling sessions are available to all students and staff. Sessions are free,

Lighting up: tfie nicotine fit vs. fresh air

by Steve Murray staff writer

If you're a smoker and you want your right to smoke respected, Cabrini College is the place for you. The majority of the people on this campus respect a smoker's right to light up.

Many of the people interviewed said they did not think it was fair to take away someone's right to smoke.

"1 don't mind if people smoke around me," Jamie Santora, sophomore, said. ''It does bother me when I'm trying to eat. Otherwise, I don't care," Santora said.

The College has designated certain areas on campus facilities where smoking is allowed. Some of the people interviewed said they thought smokers should at least be allowed to smoke in these areas.

Joe Ewing, a junior non-smoker, said, "When it comes to smoking, l think everyone has the right to to smoke, but I wish they would respect the non-smoker too."

Some of the ~mokers on campus shared their thoughts on smoking and their attempts to stop.

"I'm ready to give up," Sam Vasiliades, mailroom director, said. "I thought to myself; you must be stupid," Vasiliades said referring to time when he paid $3.08 for a pack of cigarettes at the airport.

Vasiliades, who has been smoking for 35 years, said he thinks people will pay too much money for their "smokes." "I think if the price was up to $10 dollars a pack, there ~ould still be people buying them,"Vasiliades ,aid. When asked if he would pay that much for for a pack of cigarettes, Vasiliades said, ''By that time, I would have quit."

Sophomore Brian Killen, who has been

smoking for four years, said be tried to quit twice but each attempt was unsuccessful.

"It doesn't make a difference if I try to quit," Killen said. The reasons he has not stopped are because he enjoys it and also feels it has a lot to do with dependency. "I started smoking because of major stress in my junior year of high school," Killen said.

Bud Mellon, communication center supervisor, an off andon smoker for 22 years, shared his first experience with smoking.

"I started smoking when I was 13 years old," Mellon said. "All the cool kids were doing it back at St. Jude's grade school. All of us cool guys secretly stole our fathers cigarettes and smoked them down in the boiler

room."

Mellon, who considers himself a courteous smoker, said the reason he does not give up smoking is because he is afraid he will gain weight.

Joe Delaney, sophomore, joked about his 10 years since giving up smoking.

"As a former smoker, I now realize I was duked by the ad agency of Phillip Morris and the like, into the rationalizing of the ill effects of smoking on my health," Delaney said.

According to the New York Times, the National Cancer Institute estimates that cigarette smoking will cause more than 157,000 cancer deaths this year. The Institute's new research indicates smoking can also cause cancerof the mouth, esophagus, pancreas, bladder and kidney.

The minority of the school who wanted smoking banned completely, said they could not understand why a person would damage their bodies this way.

Junior Eric Klansek,an ex-smoker, said "1 am strongly against smoking cigarettes."

Klansek started smoking in high school, but quit when he was diagnosed with pneumonia.

35 people said that it does not matter them if smoking · allowed or if it is nned on campus.

As they walked into the Xavier Great Room, the words echoed, "It's

Halloween, Happy Halloween."

The vistiors were laughing and eagerly dressed in their costumes.

Both scary and humorous were their costumes. yet they were each as special and individua] as the eople who wore them.

They were small and tall. They were men and women. The ·e were not traditional Halloween trick-or-treaters parading around the halls of Xavier on Tuesday, Oct. 29. They were from Melmark, a residential facility in Berwyn for the mentally and physically handicapped. "] feel good inside," Colleen Reemmer, junior and president of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), said. "It puts me in a good mood.'

Every Tuesday the workshop participants gather in Xavierto perform arts and crafts that help to develop their motor skills. The group is facilitated by elementary education and special education majors.

These nights also provide the adults with a time to be around others outside of their own environment.

"Melmark is a closed environment for them, and to get out for this social event and to see the real world is important for them," Kathy Frost, a representative from Melmark said. "They can now be accepted in the real world."

Melmark has been working with Cabrini for the past seven years.

The Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) and CEC together facilitate the program.

The spirit of Halloween crept throughout Xavier Hall as the mas-

'I feel good inside.

It puts me in a good mood.'

- Colleen Reemmer, president of the Council for Exceptional Children queraders began their parade in search of goodies and treats. Sophomores Melissa Thompson and Eh a Daylor dre ed as pumpkin and greeted their visitors with applesauce and candy.

"It's fun for them, and it' more fun for us," Daylor said in response to why she participated on this special trick-or-treat night.

Junior Karen Bell, resident assistant in Xavier. thought it would be a great ideaforCEC todo this program. ''The whole floor is into it, rm o proud of the girls involved:• Just before the evening ended everyone sat in a circle on the floor of the Great Room. Junior Christine Cambria, president of PSEA. read the story of 'The Sp.ider that Saved Halloween,''to the attentive crowd.

Two of the men, J0t:y and Brian. danced in front of the group as they sang "Ghost and Witches," "Halloween is Here" and "Jack-o-lantern."

A scavenger hunt ended the evening as they gathered treats and prepared for their ride home.

by Megan Flanigan staff writer

P1ayers got ready to give it their all and have a good time as they awaited the volleyball nets to be set in place and begin the intramural games.

This year. intramurals have received many positive reactions from members of the campus community.

John Dzik, athletic director, said intramurals have gotten off to a good start this year. "More people are involved," Dziksaid.

According to Dzik, intramurals succeed if s!_,µdents participate in them. "This year l've heard· no complaints. On the contrary, I've heard good reports about students enjoying themselves," Dzik said.

Dzik.said he has seen some of the games and said, "The Student Services team looks tough."

Mark Mellor, vice president of SGA, said intramurals have turned out really well. "Week one was the deciding factor.

If there was a problem, this was the time to work it out," Mellor said. He also said people are having a lot of fun. SGA provided intrarnurals a budget of $500 for equipment. Eachplayerpaid$3 which goestoward prizes for the winning team in the end. The teams paid a $25 bond to keepthe teams playing. The money will be returned if the teams do not forfeit.

Mellor said so far there has not been any

forfeits. "Last year, intramurals died out.

This year we are readyto go until March," Mellor said.

Scott Dorsey, resident life director of the hou es and the Mansion, said he was very pleased with intramurals. Dor ey said he worked with SGA in putting them rtogether. Only six teams were expected, but eight were fonned.. Dorsey is also a mem her of the Student Services team and said he thinks the team has a chance of winning. "Our goal is to win. There's no question about that." Dorsey said.

In the future, Dorsey said the teams should have a better mix of male and females, having at least t:v.-ofemales on the floor at all times to make the teams more competitive.

Senior Ellen Battersby is a player for the House Five team and said she has a lot of fun. Battersby said, "I wish you could play every week rather than every two weeks."

First-year student Casey Ahlas said he Jikes playing intramurals. Ahlas said he would like to see a bigger selection in the sports being offer-ed in the intramurals like a ping pong or a pool team. Ahlas also said that intramurals are good for people who do not get a chance to particjpate in an actual school sport can have fun.

Junior class president, Tara Kegel, said she is very pleased with the outcome of intramural . Kegel mahe was "the PR person"' in getting the teams together.

According to Kegel, some people who wanted to participate in them were not aware of the meetings and wanted to play but cannot For this reason, Kegel said, "Softball will go over really weU in the spring.''

Kim Haban, assistant social activities director for SGA, said she is pleased with the results of intramurals. Haban said she tries hard to please everyone. For all those who are not able to play, Haban said, "Go out and support your peers."

Cabrini wins Invitational.

DetrickdefeatsDoyleforsingleschampionship

CBS: The Real Winner .

Last year, CBS signed a four-year $1.6 bil1ion contract to have exclusive coverage of the Major League Baseball Playoffs, World Series and the All-Star game. Last year, .CBS cried the blues because they lost millions of dollars. This year they expect to make $40 million on the Playoffs and World Series. This is because the Toronto-Minnesota series went five games, the Atlanta-Pittsburgh series went the distance as did the World Series. This means that out of a possible 21 post-season games, 19 were played. Last year, only 14 of the games were played.

The extra five games bring in multi-million dollars in advertisement and allows them the opportunity to preview their fall schedule. This is what CBS was banking on when they practically signed away their top executives pensions last year.

And The Clock Strikes 12 It's midnight for Cinderella's twin sister and there is no joy in Atlanta. Meanwhile, the twin cities are praising their prince in shining armor, Gene Larkin. Larkin, holding Cinderella's slipper, singled home Dan Gladden and as his foot stomped on homeplate, the slipper fit perfectly and at the midnight hour the wicked stepmother of fate smiled at Minnesota and grinned towards Atlanta.

Money Changes Everything Less than 12 hours after the World Series ended, 21 players filed for free-agency. The most noticeable being Jack Morris, the MVP of the World Series. Others who filed are Bobby Bonilla, the.Pirate outfielder who turned down a four-year $16.5 million contract.

Morris is looking for a contract worth around $5 million.

Morton! It's Gotta Be 'Da Shoe Morton Anderson of the New Orleans Saints booted a 60-yard field goal on Sunday, the second longest in league history. It was Anderson's 17th field goal of 50-yards or more. He trails only Nick Lowery who has 18 for his career.

Tom Dempsey owns the record for the longest field goal of 63 yards. Dempsey, of course, had only half of his right foot that was squared-off. Anderson, maybe taking advice from Dempsey, invested in a $5,000 shoe that acts like a loaded cannon.

Anderson's cannon has been booming for years and the-left. footed kicker may be the most consistent of all time.

Quido Mercens, Where Are You Jim McMahon made his triumphant (sort of) return to the Eagles starting line-up last Sunday. He promptly threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Keith Byars, the Birds first touchdown in 44 possessions dating back to Sept. 22.

Jeff Kemp made his Eagle debut as the revolving door of signal callers continues to turn. Kemp became the fifth quarterback to play this year and it is getting so bad that Eagle center David Alexander usually has no clue as to whose hands are between his legs.

Before you know it, the Eagles will be calling Quido Mercens, the reincarnation of Bart Starr, who led the team during the strike and became affectionate known as the Scab QB.

Lonely At The Top The Washington Redskins (no offense to Native Americans everywhere) remain the only undefeated team in the National Football League. Last Sunday, the 'Skins defeated the New York Giants for the first time in three years. Washington ·possesses the second-best defense in the league and this week, will take on the 7-1 Houston Oilers, owners of the third most prolific offense in the league.

The alumni soccer game will be held on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. on the new soccer field. '

Last weekend, Oct. 26-27, 1991, Cabrini College won the Cabrini College Invitational Tournament.

The other schools participating in the tournament were Immaculata College and Philadelphia Community College.

"The girls felt good going into the championship.

They were ready to play and they were at the peak of their performance level," Reggie Day, coach of the women's tennis team, said.

"Many people were ready to write us off in midseason but the girls have heart. Individually they care about the team and were willing to go the extra mile to get the job done," Day said.

With the departure of Maryanne Walker earlier in the season, the team had to make a few critical adjustments. Christina Jester, normally a reseTNeon the team, was moved up into the number six position on the team.

Jester qualified for the consolation match after a tough loss to Danielle R.lckards oflmmaculata. Jester went on to advance to the finals in the consolation match against Melissa Flannery, also from Immaculata. Jester lost to Flannery 2-0 (6-4,6-1).

"Christina played a great match, she had some tough opponents and should be proud of her performance," Day said.

After a trying Saturday, the Lady Cavs came out on top defeating all of the top-seeded players. The final match was played on Sunday, Oct.27. Teammates Susie Detrick, #1, played Eileen Doyle, #4, for the championship.

Detrick defeated Doyle 2-0 (6-2, 6-3), in a tough match. Even though the women are teammates, it was evident that they both wanted the win.

"I'm so proud of all of my girls. They have worked very hard," Day said. "As the senior-captain, Susie Detrickhas been a tremendous leader on and off of the court."

Detrick graduates this year and will be leaving behind a young team, mostly sophomores and juniors. Day is looking forward to developing the team into one with a yompetitive experience.

"I worked very hard this year, I set high goals for myself and went out and achieved them," Detrick said. "I feel sad about leaving Cabrini, but I think the team will be great next year."

Eileen Doyle, who finished the season with a record of 16-3, last to teammate Susie Detrick for the championship of the Invitational Tournament on Sunday, Oct. 27.

"This year we have had a team that had its strength in experience, but many of the players lack the competitive edge that can only come with experience on the court," Day said.

Day said that the women are "willing to work hard" and that is what wi.llpay off in the long run.

The Lady Cavs won the tournament with an overall score of 17 points. Immaculata scored 11 points and Philadelphia Community finished wi h nine points.

"The team has turned the season around," Day said.

Each of the individual statistics of the players have improved greatly.

"One-hundred· percent dedication from the team as a whole has made the season," Day said. "The team had a rough start early in the season but chose to fight the odds,'' Day said. •'The win was a team effort and the girls can be proud."

Detrick finished the season with a record of 18-2, and· Doyle finished with a record of I 6-3.

The 1991 field hockey season is over for the Lady Cavs and although it was not a winning season, it was a learning season for all.

When Coach Joan Quinn took on her position this year, she was presented with last year's young team.

Only five players from last year retuJ:ned and a lot of changes had to be made. "It was back to the basics this year," Quinn said.

Quinn made the team work on conditioning, basic stick skills and positioning. Ninety-five percent of practice time was spent on basic skills, not development. Members of the team say they learned a lot from Quinn this year.

"Joanie was a real change from the last coach," cocaptain junior Christine Costigan said, who has been playing hockey for 10 years.

Charlyne Adams, sophomore, said she has learned more this year than in the three years she has played hockey.

"Joanie was wonderful," junior Michelle Montgt>mery said. "She was positive through the entire season."

The team had trouble working together this season. Since there were a lot of new players and they haven't played much together, some had a tendency to keep the ball to themselves rather than passing it, Adams said·.

"There were a lot of times when there was a lot of frustration between the players,'' Costigan said.

The highest point of the season was the win over Beaver College on Parent's Weekend. "We put it together that game," Montgomery said. "We worked together as a team and we did great."

Costigan said it was a great feeling to beat Beaver.

Last year, Costigan suffered a knee injury in a Beaver game and was wiable to play for the rest of the season.

"The team was looking to prove themselves to everybody that weekend," Quinn said. "They knew they would have a lot of support at that game."

Team members said there were many low points in the season this year. Adams thinks the game against Cedar Crest was the lowest. "We should have beat that team," Adams said. "We weren't out there to win and we lost because of it."

Montgomery said the game against Alvemia was the lowest point. "They were a good team and a quick team," Montgomery said. "We felt we were no match for them no matter what we did."

Unlike this past year, the team is only losing one player next year and next-year the players can work on development.
