Cabrini Spirit Day, Tuesday Nov. 12., is a day for the campus community to come together and remember all that Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini did.

The day will be highlighted by

The Rev. Arthur Simon

Speaker to be recognized speakers and presentations from people who live as Cabrini did, helping others less fortunate.

The keynote speaker highlighting the day will be the Rev. Arthur Simon, founder and President Emeritus of Bread for the World.

Simon will be given an award on Cabrini Spirit Day and will talk in the Atrium at 10:45.

Before working with this organization Simon, a Lutheran clergyman, served in an inner city parish on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

Bread for the World, a Christian citizen's movement on world hunger, is based in Washington, D.C ..

people throughout the world.

According to Sister Bernadette AneJ!o, MSC., director of campus ministry, Bread for the World is utilized as a resource for statistics and information to help them with Hunger Awareness Week.

The organization raises money to help the hungry, but is also involved in legislative efforts.

Bread for the World also works on hunger relief efforts in the United States.

As a result of a letter-writing campaign, funding for food and nutrition programs were maintained after two years of budgets cuts.

Simon's book, "Bread for the World," won the National Religious Book Award in 1976. In his book Simon not only told of the plight of the hungry, but gave solutions that everyday people can work towards.

His most recent book is "Harvesting Peace: The Arms Race and Human Need."

Social work program seeking new director and accreditation

Possibility of a non-tenured track professor under question

staff writer

Head of the social work program, Sister Regina Peterson, MSC, has resigned. Peterson has been on a leave of absence this semester due to the fact that lier religious community is asking her to do other work in her c01:nmunity.

Peterson was bead of the social work department and was pursuing an accreditation for the social work

program. An accreditation from the Council for Social Work Education (CSWE) would recognize Cabrini's social work program professionally. There are two advantages for acquiring an accreditationfrom CSWE: it is helpful to graduates in their job search and speeds up their graduate work.

Dr. Anthony Tomasco, department chair of social sciences, said, "lt will help you get a job if the employer sees you've been tr~ned in an accredited program." Accord-

lviewPotnt Choosing death versus our right to live The state of Washington votes this week on Initiative 119. Initiative 119 would make Washington the first place in the world to pass a law authorizing doctors to assist in suicides or give lethal injections to patients who have asked to die, according to the New York Times.

Euthanasia has become a national ethical controversy. Two medically 1UTangedsuicides occurred in Michigan. Author Derek Humphry went so far as to write the suicide manual, "Final Exit."

The possibility of an individual having the legal choice to terminate their life opens a realm of questions-- questions that need to be answered. Without answers to potential abuses and outside party's influence on the issue, how can legislation forbidding or permitting euthanasia be enforced?

Is legislation for euthanasia expanding or limiting human rights? Is it an individual's decision to abort themselves? Could this lead to the elimination of socially unwanted individuals such as retarded or severely disabled people?

The Christian perspective tells society to believe suffering endured now leads to good in the afterlife. Catholism teaches that suffering happens for a reason. Are we intervening with God's will by cutting off the suffering of an individual?

Does religion even offer valid points concerning this issue?

Individuals should consider writing a living will, a document enabling a person to pre-determine their fate in the event that a poor health condition would impair their decision making. A living will has the potential to better insure an individual's right which otherwise might be lost to outside parties, doctors or the government.

Justa thought ...

Cabrini celebrates Cultural Awareness Week from Saturday, Nov. 2 through Friday, Nov. 8. Seven days that are dedicated to expanding and appreciating cultures beyond our 110 rolling acres.

However, seven days isn't enough time to devote to learning about the vast range of customs which are the backbone of individuals and their cultures.

Cultural diversity should be practiced every day. The core curriculum requires class in a cultural diversity. However, what about outside the classroom? Maybe the admissions office should attempt to recruit more potential students from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Even Loquitur's editorial board lacks a minority opinion.

People with diverse backgrounds have something to give the campus community beyond text book knowledge.

Classofficer respondsto questioning To the editor: My name is Matt Hodlofski and I am senior class president. I am writing in response to the letter to the editor in last week's edition, Nov. I, concerning the lack of work done by the senior class officers with commencement speakers.

The entire seniorclass had a general meet-

In last week's front page story, "Mischief night fun and games turn sour," the photo caption stating that senior Brett Taylor was given a citation by Radnor police after security caught Taylor with a confiscated fire exting~isher was incorrect. Sophomore Jon Young was found by secu~ty with the fire extinguisher on his lap, not Taylor.

ing in the gym on Tuesday, Sept. 10 from 12:45-1:30 dealing with a number of different iss1,1es.

This meeting was weU publicized with notes in every senior mailbox and posted on billboards and on tables in the cafeteria and the Wigwam. One of the issues we talked about was who the senior class wanted for a speaker. Every officer received a number of suggestions which were all brought in front of our board and then voted upon to narrow the list down.

We feel that Cabrini would be able to cajole any of the ten people into coming here and the senior class would appreciate them. As soon as we hear from the Nominating Committee with a final decision we will let everyone know.

If anyone has any problems or questions with how the senior events and issues are dealt with let me know.

Sincerely Matt Hodlofski Senior Class President more letters pg. 3

It'sall in the name missy von siegel copy editor/ writing coach When I was young, I hated my last name. Seriously, I did. On the first day of school each year I couldn't wait for roll call to be finished because I knew that my name would be the very last on the list, coming after the All-American, easily pronounced Bradley, Murray or Phillips that seemed to flow from my teacher's lips. Even the occasional Resendez or Romanoff was called out with clarity and confidence.

But then the teacher would come to my name and just after saying "Melissa," would suddenly begin to stammer, making repeated attempts to pronounce my surname in a myriad of combinations. Bewildered as to how or why there could possibly be two parts to a last name, she would nervously glance down at the seemingly innocent little "von" that loomed from the page, daring her to make a mistake.

Just as she was·about to drive herself into a state of apoplexy, I mumbled the correct pronunciation, feeling 40 eyes upon me and wishing all the while that I had a name like everyone else.

Growing up, I've seen just about any variation on my name that you can think of and believe me, there have been plenty.

Take the number of people who have actually thought that "von" is my middle name or those who like to close the space between the first and last words.

Each day brings a different piece of mail with a different spelling and sometimes a different name, spurred by someone's ingenuity. Giving my name by phone has also been interesting. My nickname Missy, paired with my last name, is sometimes taken to be "Miss Yvonne Siegel," no matter how slowly or distinctly I speak.

Though it is European tradition- to leave the letter v in "von" lowercase, Americans have been ingrained with the practice of capitalizing the beginning

letter in one's surname. Many are confused as to how to place the name in alphabetical order if the ''von" isn 'tcapitalized. "Well, do you go by Siegel," they ask. I tell them no, it's alphabetized by the letter v for von and they can't seem to fathom the idea.

It wasn't until I grew somewhat older that I actually liked my last name, appreciating it for its uniqueness and representation of Austrian heritage. Yes, Austrian, as in the country of Austria, nestled in the heart of Europe; not Australian as some people have thought. I'll never forget one girl in school who argued with me, trying to tell me that I was Australian. Many are quick to guess that I am German, which is a fair assumption, considering the shared customs between the two countries. Their usual response is "Austrian, Germansame thing." Yet despite these similarities, Germany and Austria are two separate, distinct nations with their own characteristics. Austria is widely known for classical cornposers Mozart. Haydn, Schubert, Strauss and Ludwig von Beethoven (notice most people drop the "von"), the von Trapp family singers and "The Sound of Music" which I have faithfully watched every single time it is aired on television.

The word "von" traditionally means •·of the house of." Stemming from the feudal systems of the 13th and 14th centuries, the prefix usually implied that the family came from aristocracy. No, we're not aristocrats but it is something that I find very intriguing.

I've had the opportunity to visit Ireland which comprises the other half of my background and it was wonderful.

Someday, I want to travel to Austria and look up the records of my ancestors, to learn about them and what their lives were like. Perhaps I'll discover relatives I never knew I had. As this week is Cultural Awareness Week, it is a great opportunity for all of us to learn more about another's ethnic background and also our own.

Sometimes, I still am called Yvonne or I'll receive a piece of mai I that reads Melissa BonSeigar, but I love my name and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Oh, and roll call-well, now it's just a piece of cake.

Or should I say sachertorte?

'LittleMan Tate': the qualityof relationships

by Kelly Adams

staff writer

Which is more important: A parent who can meet a child's imtellectual needs or his emotional ones?

This is the subject of "Little Man Tate," the story of an exceptionallygifted 7-year-oldboy named Fred Tate, played by Adam Hann-Byrd,and his attempt to find a place for himself in the world.

While Fred is a prodigy in every sense of the word-he composes his mother an opera for Mother's Day-he is also a child with a sense of melancholy to rival that of Sir Lawrence Olivierl<sHamlet, complete with a grown-up ulcer and nightmares.

Jodie Foster, who also directs for the first time, plays Fred's devoted if at times dimwitted mother, Dede, who just wants Fred to be a normal kid.

Dianne Wiest is Jane, the brilliant child psychologist and director of a school for gifted children who thanks God he is not normal.

WhenJane finds Fred, he is bored to tears in a classroom full of children still daunted by division. Fred is anything but popular here in grade school and the person he admires the most is a perfectly horrible little thug named MikeMartinibecause, as Fred puts it, "He always has someone to eat lunch with."

Dede is completely unaware of her son's isolation.

Jane offers Fred the opportunity to attend "Odyssey of the Mind," a sort of intellectual Olympic Games. Dede is dead set against this, relenting only after seeing first hand just how lonely her little boy really is.

From this point on, Jane is an active part of Fred's life, ultimately caring for him while he talces a college quantum physics class over the summer.

This makes for all kinds of problems. Obviously, Jane and Dede have opposing views on how Fred should be raised.

While Jane can satisfy Fred's thirst for knowledge, her solution to his nightmares is a glass of water and leaving the lights on for him.

Jane is clueless in all aspectsof child care. She tells Fred that as a rewardfor doing all of his chores, "We'll rent a nice documentary or go to the Symphony."

Although Dede can't begin to comprehend Fred's intellectual potential, she can cradle her frightened son in her arms at night and play "the shadow game" with him, making all of the nightmares go away.

Dede is a natural at being a mother, because in many ways she is still a child herself. Fred is very much the "little man'' implied in the title-balancing Dede's checkbook and writing

her resume for fun. One of the few times he is able to act like a real child is spent dancing around the Jiving room with his mother.

Even though the cynic in me says that the ending is a little bit pat, the audience more than earns it.

Foster is completely compelling as Dede, a mother who is about to lose her child to a a world she doesn't know or belong in, a la Joan Crawford's "Stella Dallas," or more recentlyBette Midler's "Stella." Foster's portrayal of Dede's fear, both for herself and her son, was sincere as well as realistic.

After all, there comes a point in every parent-childrelationship when the child becomes independent of the parent, when the child becomes the parent's intellectual equal. The adjustment is difficult enough to make after, say, 20 years. Imagine what it must be like after only seven.

Wiest was only slightly less annoying here then she was in "Edward Scissorhands." I lost all hope for this character when she sent a frightened Fred off to his first day of college with a handshake, with nary a hug or a kiss in sight, all the while smiling that Stepford-wife-from-hellsmile of hers. However,

here that go beyond the Loquitur' s coverage.

There is the issue of punishment. If Cabrini security couldn't handle the situation them_selves,and turned it over to Radnor Police, Questioning journalism then those involved will deal with the law.

Senior But, there are larger, underlying issues

the character was very well develei,ed and had the role been placed in the hands of a lesser actress, the entire movie would have suffered.

Hann-Byrd was incredible as Fred. This is no 'Macauley Culkin-this little boy can really act. Hann-Byrdbrought depth to the character of Fred, making him much more than the Poindexterthat the Big Kids would invariablypick on at lunchtime. I never felt pity for Fred becauseHann-Bryd's Fred wasn't looking for pity. Despite everything, the kid had spunk and I knew that it would work out for him.

The only shortcoming of the film was the lack of a real male role model for Fred. This issue was touched on superficiallyby the character of Eddie, a man who befriendsFred at college. The character of Eddie, played by Harry Connickjr., was a tremendous let down for Fred as well as the audience and I think that more should have been done with the character.

The message of"Little Man Tate" is that there's a little bit of Fred in all of us, genius I.Q. or no. People are what really count here in the movies as well as in real life.

Making all the difference To the editor: On Tuesday,Oct.15 Iwasinjuredinacar accident and I am writing this letter because for some reason people on this campus always seem to be complaining about what is wrong with Cabrini.

It is very seldom that we hear about all of the good experiences and the positive programs and people who love Cabrini and are happy that they chose to go to school here, work here or teach here.

The night of the accident I was found by two Cabrini students Dave Wissler and Lori Mac Avoy. They put me in their car and took me to Bryn Mawr Hospital's Emergency Room and waited u,1til my family arrived.

To be honest I don't remeber much of the ride to the hospital, but I do remember how frightened and upset I was and that Lori and Dave tried to comfort me and told me I was going to be okay. You cannot understand how much better that made me feel, when you are hurt and your worse thoughts creep into your mind someon~ holding your hand and telling you that you're not going to die makes all the difference.

Lori and Dave , I cannot express how much what you two did means to me and my family, a thank you barely seems enough.

To all of my friends, especially Melissa who came to the hospital that night, and to everyone who called and sent get-well cards and had me in their prayers I just want to

thank you.

I don't think that you would ever see this kind of caring and support from any other college. This feeling of family and love is something that I think is woven into the fabric of the college's mission, the students, the teaching and the people who work at the college.

I needed that support while I was recovering from the accident. I have never before felt such an outpouring of good will from so many people. Many of whom I know only from saying "hi" to between classes, yet these people have come up to me and asked me how I was and if there was anything that they could do for me. These people are not my close friends, just people who care enough about a fellow classmate to find out how I was.

This is one of the things that made me come to Cabrini, the teachers, the staff, students and adminstration really do care about Cabrini and the people whose lives it touches.

Despite the efforts of a few to-constantly point out all that is wrong with Cabrini, I still love this school and all of the people who have touched my life here and made me a better person for it. Instead of always asking what Cabrini can do for us or give to us. maybe we should all think about what we can do for Cabrini.

Thank you again to everyone who has helped me with a smile or a hug the last two weeks, l needed them and 1appreciate everything that you have done for me.

Sincerely, Kelly Reed Senior

Collegefinalizes 1991-92 $11.6 million budget~~==

by Carin Pesotski

staff writer The college's Board of Trustees met on Oct. 21 to finalize the college's budget for the year 1991-92. There has been $11.6 million budgeted for the college's expenses.

Although no one is getting the budget they requested, Chief Financial Officer John Barclay said, "The budgets given can run departments and are workable."

"We do not have the ideal budget here at Cabrini. Every year we have more expenses but not more money," Barclay said.

Many departments received their finalized budgets on Thursday, Oct. 31. Tentative budget printouts were received by depart-

'There are tough decisions to be made about who gets what piece of the pie.'

-John Dzik, athletic director ments in May and in July.

These printouts were generated by balancing the departmental requests and recommendations made by the Budget Committee.

According to Barclay, the Budget Committee consists of 11 members who meet and process the budget requests of the college departments.

The committee includes Sister Eileen Currie, M.S.C., president; John Barclay, chief financial officer; Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vicepresident of student affairs; Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice president of academic affairs; Dr. Antoinette Schiesler, academic dean; Meredyth Leahy, dean of continuing education; Michael Caranf a, chief physical plant officer; John Heiberger, assistant professor

of business administration; Ruby Remley, assistant professor of business administration; Carol Serotta, assistant professor of mathematics, and James Hedtke, assistant professor of history and political science.

The 15 percent tuition increase approved last March has helped offset the drop in undergraduate enrollment for the I991-92 school year. "The two haven't balanced out 1 to 1, bi.Itthe tuition increase has helped," Barclay said.

Bonfiglio has been working from a predicted budget that had not been finalized until the Board of Trustees Oct. 21 meeting.

"Our total budget this yea, is less than last year's. Now we are working with 100 percent of our budget," Bonfiglio said.

Last year, departments were requested to work with only 70 percent of their operating budgets. "This year we have no limitations on budget expenditures, but we ask that departments spend carefully with discretions," Barclay said.

Dr. Anthony Tomasco, psychology department chairperson, said "Our department's budget is considerably lower than last year's."

The psychology department was asked to cut 10 percent of its budget for the 1991-92 year, including faculty salaries. "It's a barebones budget,'" Tomasco said.

In Tomasco's estimation, the psychology department's expenditure budget ranks somewhere in the middle compared to other department's budgets.

"We have to pay for basic supplies for labs, maintain and update our computers and software and pay for travel expenditures to conferences. This becomes difficult with a limited budget," Tomasco said.

Athletic Director John Dzik also received his department's finalized budget on the morning of Oct. 31. The athletic department's budget was also cut by 10 percent. .The operating budget of the athletic department includes officials fees, travel expenses, equipment, uniforms, supplies and

more WORK from 1 choose.

When the CSWE reviews an institution for accreditation they look for commitment and dedication from the faculty~ well as the resources available from the institution. This is a concern that Cabrini's board is facing.

'Toe social work program wants to be recognized by CSWE. Hiring a non-tenured faculty member could be a problem," Tomasco said.

According to Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice president for academic affairs, the average educational institution has 60-80 percent of tenured faculty members. Cabrini has 80 percent of tenured faculty members. "Hiring someone under the tenure plan can have some disadvantages," Biller said, "It is these

ideas that the Board of Trustees is taking into consideration for hiring Sr. Peterson's replacement."

According to Biller, when the entire faculty consists of tenured employees it doesn't leave a lot of room for change in the program.

'The flexibility in any department is limited if the staff is all tenured," Bill er said. There is little room for incoming staff with other ideas, theories, and perspectives regarding specific programs, Biller said.

A staff person has been hired to teach next semester. However, in the spring, the Board of Trustees will begin a search for a permanent staff member. "There is still a possibility of hiring a tenure-track person, but not likely," Biller said.

Dzik said that the IO percent budget cut will not force him to cut any sports teams, but some assistant coaching jobs will remain unfunded .

WYBF fanatics attend College Music Journal Music Marathon 1991

Volunteerwork acco.mpaniesSem. 300

by PatriciaDaley

By Catherine DeHart staff writer

It was an early Saturday morning filled with volunteers flitting around preparing for the day, students meandering around trying to find some breakfast and two excited Cabrini students arriving at their destination.

The 1991 College Music Journal Music Marathon at the Vista Hotel in New York City was the event John Gay, assistant music director of WYBF and myself, music director, attended. The three day adventure was cut to one day for the naive Cabrini WYBF fanatics. There were tapes, compact discs, buttons and stickers for the taking along with record company representatives to meet, bands to be found and opinions to be heard.

AH of this required investigation before the 5:00 p.m. train.

Exhibitors were more than generous just giving tapes, buttons, stickers and posters for the asking, while students from college radio stations across the nation added their names to any mailing list that was available. The adventure began.

At 11 :00 a.m. everyone dispersed from the exhibits and headed for separate conference rooms to hear such panel discussions as "Unity in Music and Independent Labels: Bloodied but Unbowed." In another hour or so there would be more exhibits to see and even more crowds to weave through.

The panels were comprised of interesting and intriguing students, reps, promoters and musicians. The panel on independent labels discussed the issue of big labels versus smaller labels. Another point included the possibility of alternative music dying if independent labels do not come together as a whole.

Fifteen more minutes until the next panel.

This allowed five more minutes to sign as many mailing lists as possible. The exhibits were jammed at this point and to journey through the sea of black denim and flannel without getting pounded on by numerous pairs of combat boots was an adventure in itself.

It was 12:30 p.m. and time to move to the

next panel. Many of the student radio fanatics, such as those two WYBFfanatics, flooded into the Nieuw Amsterdam Center Ballroom to listen to a panel address the question: "Does college radio suck?" Five college radio students, two record company reps, one band member, one college radio alumni, and one trade journal representative from the West Coast made up the panel.

Many students battled with this question for awhile causing further inquisition: Should college radio be used strictly for education?

Should it contain what the audience wants to hear? Should it be used for what the record companies want you to play? Or should it be used as the simple medium to break new musical artists? Do not think about this question to quickly because it is a trick.

Many students voiced their opinions and reaJly opposed those college radio stations that play whatever will get them a listener, and also those that report to "College Music Journal" what the record companies want them to report.

Many students in this lecture and even on the panel, expressed no interest in any kind of communications career after college. One student said, "We are in college which means we can do what ever we want, I am in radio because I enjoy it and no one will tell me what to play." . It was getting later in the day, the WYBF fanatics were losing momentum but they trudged on to find a snack and get back to the ballroom to visit the last and most awaited panel of the whole three days: "The Artist Encounter." The panelists were mostly going to be a surprise but many knew about the arrival of Chuck D. of Public Enemy, and rap artist Ice-T. This lecture was just not on the same level as the WYBF fanatics and people needed seats anyway. It was getting late and New York was not a fun place in the dark for these two Cabrini travelers. Belongings and station gifts were gathered and the bellman hailed them a cab. What a ride. They just made the train by two minutes and were on their way back to their home to confront questions, share experiences and shed some light on the intricacies of college radio.

Alice and Robert are students at Cabrini. They were both 13-years-old the first time each of them got high. The first time they smoked a nonnal joint. They did it because they wanted to. They kept doing it because they liked it.

"Drugs are sometimes so unexplainable. The things they do to you - it manipulates your brain," Alice said as she began to explain the way drugs affect her.

"The way you look at things and the way you see things on drugs is sometimes enlightening, where everything in your life comes into perspective. It's like you're given a different set of eyes at one period. Everything becomes so beautiful.

Sometimes. Or you could freak out," Alice said.

The first time Alice and Robert got high the marijuana did not have an effect on them.

Robert said, "By the third time you smoke it (marijuana) you definitely notice a big difference. You start laughing and feeling like everything is a dream."

Alice said that sometimes she gets high by herself, but before she never did. She said that the trauma of an emotional experience has caused her to want to get high by herself much more often.

Robert was 14-years-old when he tried LSD for the first time. "When you keep doing it (LSD) and you get older and you've used it many times, it tends to be more anxiety producing than anything and that's no fun. But that doesn't happen to everyone. That's my own personal opinion," Robert said.

Alice said, "I would never say that getting high hasn't hurt me mentally. r It's made me less motivated at times. I have started using harder drugs from getting high, but I like where

I am now. It makes you more open minded. I think, because if you can accept yourself for who you are, then you can accept anybody else."

Alice said that she has found that people who do not get high are uptight. "They just think of everybody as weird or strange. I am more accepting to the artistic side of a person.

I'll accept anybody for who they are that's just the kind of person I am'. And I know all my friends are like that too," she said.

Robert said, "If you don't want to do it you don't have to, I'm not going to force you to do it." Robert said that he can see from the perspective of a person who does not do drugs

trip. You can trip 1,000 times and be fine and trip 1,001 times and have a bad trip."

Robert said that alcohol is bad. "It is one of the worst drugs there is because it is very addictive and people ignore other people's alcohol problem because it's legal. People don't look at alcohol the same way they look at drugs. But it's the most dangerous drug in tenns of health and not addiction."

From Robert's experiences with drugs he said that by smoking a joint one can relax. LSD causes one to expand their mind in ways that would not happen nonnally and cocaine makes a person feel euphoric.

Robert said, "Reality sucks so it gets kind of boring.

Drugs make life a little more interesting sometimes."

Both Alice and Robert have taken cocaine. However, 'Realitysucksso it gets kindof Robert stopped doing cocaine in 1989.

"I got out of control with it. I was just doing it too much. boring. Drugsmake life a littlemore Cocaine is like a dose of euphoria. You become confident interestingsometimes.' and socially energetic. I don't like it anymore because it's too addictive and too expensive," Robert said.

Narcotics: a side effectof society

by Kelly Reed guest writer She was young and smart and could have done anything with her life that she wanted to. She chose to hang out with a bunch of friends that she thought were a lot of fun.

They liked to party, sometimes they got high, but they didn't "do" drugs, they just smoked a little pot now and again.

This girl really grabbed the golden ring when she hooked up with a guy who not only smoked pot, but he also took pills to perk him up, bring him down and to make things more clear.

The good news is she could now get high more often because this great guy was a dealer and could get her more drugs at a discounted rate. Life was great until the girl found out she was pregnant.

I found out that this girl took drugs the entire length of her pregnancy and I can't help wondering why? What would make someone start taking drugs when we are inundated daily with all of the terrible effects that drugs have on the drug user, the families, and on society.

Dido 't she know what those drugs were going to do to her, to her child? What kind of

power makes you forget about your family, your friends and your flesh and blood?

PresidentBushhas proclaimed his administration is fighting the war on drugs. Everyday the newspapers are full of yet another drive-by shooting over drug territories in our inner-cities. When do we say that enough people have died over who gets to sell crack on this street comer or enough babies have been born with multiple birth defects or mental retardation to finally take a stand.

Some people are trying to take back their neighborhoods a block at at time with community watch groups and by marching in anti-drug parades. But, are we really solving the problem by chasing a drug dealer from one comer to have him simply set up business on another. Inner-cities are facing huge budget deficits, high unemployment and poor educational standards in their schools, they do not have the time or the resources to fight the drug lords by themselves.

President Bush took a stand and now is the time for him to back what he says with money. We cannot expect to win a war that is supplied by few funds, overworked and understaffed police forces and a federal government that gives itself a raise but cannot find the money to support drug education programs in schools, drug rehabilitation pro-

The effects of Bush's anti-drug campaign have merely been a band-aid on a wound that goes far deeper than the circumstances of the girl I spoke about. An entire generation of young people live in a world of dealers, crack houses and their next high. If we really want

to stop the war on drugs then we need to commit ourselves todoing what ,is human and decent not what is politically correct. It is too late for the girl I spoke of and for her child, but there are so many more out there who could be helped if we had the resources and the commitment.

Spirit DayWorkshops

Awakeningthe call withinCabrinito the needs of others

by Katherine Ross staff writer

Cabrini Spirit Day presents a time for students, faculty, staff and administration to come together and be reminded of their purpose at the college. Tuesday, Nov. 12 is the day set aside to reflect upon the spiritual and material needs of the college community.

Cabrini Spirit Day honors the values on which the college was established in 1957. It is also a time to remember the commitment that Mother Cabrini had in helping those less fortunate. According to the college catalog, Cabrini college is working for peace and justice and for increased compassionate concern for all human beings.

On Spirit Day there will be 17 workshops on a variety of topics from business careers that help society to why is there world hunger. These workshops will be presented by

students and faculty from our campus and other guest speakers. .

"Films with a social consciousness" is a workshop that was put together by the history and political science club.

"Every Tuesday for the past three weeks the history and political science club has been showing films that are socially relevant," Dr. Jolyon Girard, chairperson of the history department, said.

"With help from the communications department we have edited clips from all the films and created a video collage to show to the campus community who are in attendance that day," Girard said.

"What we are going to discuss is the role of popular films in transmitting social messages," Girard said.

"Good Deeds and Good Business" will be presented by John Heiberger, assistant professor of business administration and guest speakers. This workshop will discuss busi-

ness careers with agencies that assist people.

"We wiJI have the director of marketing for the American Cancer Society, the financial director of the Philadelphia chapter of the Red Cross and also the director of Montgomery County family services," Heiberger said.

"What we want students to see is that they can have business careers without working for money-making corporations, that they can be in the careers they want and still help people," Heiberger said.

Dr. Martha Waring-Chaffee, assistant professor in the graduate program, will be holding a workshop on literacy.

"We will be looking at literacy as reading and writing and how it helps us grow through life. We will show how from the time you are a child, to the time you are an adult, and how you can grow through reading. Finally we will see how students themselves use literacy to help themselves now," Chaffee said.

"We will encourage students to participate in understanding this new perspective on literacy. I am looking forward in presenting this workshop," Chaffee said.

There will also be some off-campus speakers and presenters involved in Cabrini Spirit Day. Nelle Hotchkiss, niece of Dr. Carter Craigie, will be speaking on caring for AIDS patients.

Dr. Susan Toton, professor of religion at Villanova University, will be addressing the issue of why there is world hunger.

There are many other workshops being presented on Cabrini Spirit Day, such as Cabrini's Outreach-Who Are We and What Are We Doing. There is also going to be a presentation on Cabrini College Alumni Who Have Made a Difference.

Scienceand fun:a combustiblemixture

by Judith A. Panasik staff writer

Getting caught with their dirty hands are junior Andrea Scarito and Mr. David Katz, a teacher at the Community College of Philadelphia, who assists in teaching the class. The new science course, developed to make science more interesting, was made possible through a grant by Rohm and Haas Co.

Pop! The cork flies off the soda bottle and the class jumps in amazement, bursting into laughter. Imagine the reaction you get from a room full of grade school children.

But this is not a room full of grade school children. It is the Curriculum Methods in Science/ Health for Education majors here at Cabrini.

According to Mary Ellen Herzog, director of development, the class is scaled to deliver normal classroom for undergraduate students to make them comfortable with children when they teach.

Two classes offered meet on Mondays and Fridays and are taught by Mr. Andrew Litavec and Mr. David Katz. Litavec is an education teacher here at Cabrini. Katz is a teacher at the Community College of Philadelphia in its chemistry department.

The class is made possible due . toagrantfromRohmandHaasCo., a Philadelphia-based specialty chemical company. Rohm and Haas gave Cabrini a $5,500 grant for the project, plus 50 boxes filled with "goodies and different experiments," according to Herzog. The grant also enabled the college to bring in Katz to help teach the class.

According to Herzog, one reason for Rohm and Haas gave the

grant to the college is for their investment in the future. Companie.s are looking to get children interested in science before college. By showing them at a younger age a more interesting part of science, Rohm and Haas hopes to make science more appealing to children.

Litavec said he brings the physic~! aspect of the experiments into perspective to the class while Katz brings the chemical aspect into perspective.

In the beginning, Katz was demonstrating different experiments to the class. Now the future teachers must demonstrate an experiment in front of their class.

Litavec said they are trying to put them in an environment close to what they will be teaching in. They are showing them how to make homemade projects in their demonstrations.

According to Katz, by using common materials it shows how science is a part of everyday life and that science can be understood.

"If my teachers taught me science the way I'm learning to teach science, I would have learned and remembered a lot more science," junior Lisa Naab said, who is an early childhood/elementary education major. "These demonstrations bring science to a level that children can understand and relate to, and make science fun."

Naab said the demonstrations encourage students to observe and arouse their curiosity, while pro-

viding excitement or surprise. Naab also said the demonstrations provide the opportunity of presenting an abstract concept on a concrete level.

According to Katz, experiments the students are being taught can be used from kindergarten to the eighth grade.

Not only are the individuals taught how to do the experiments, but how to present them in front of a group and explain their scientific purposes. The students also explain to their classmates how they would explain these things to children.

The students are not graded on whetherornot the experiment works but the fact that they get in front of the group and present it.

According to Litavec they hope to continue to the class, it just depends on how much grant money they receive in the future. Since the grant from Rohm and Haas the course has become more interesting and beneficial.

Katz received his bachelor degree from Drexel University in chemistry. and his masters from Villanova University. He has been teaching the science demonstration class for eight years in eight states and four countries outside of the U.S.. "If I can get a student or a teacher excited about science then I've accomplished what I'm trying to do," Katz said who just wants them to appreciate science and not be afraid of it.

Computer lab growing and more accesible to students

by Joann Carbone staff writer

The computer lab is growing, according to Barbara DeWilde, academic systems coordinator.

There is now a new meaning to being a lab monitor, according to DeWilde.

DeWilde has brought many changes to the computer lab. The lab monitors employed by De Wilde are made up of work grant and

work study students. She wants to improve the quality of the Jab and improve on what the monitors already know.

DeWilde is working towards the organization of shifts and logs kept.

The lab is now open longer, giving monitors a chance to get more hours. There are also extended hours on Sunday. In addition they will try to have extended hours during finals week.

Each monitor is given a folder which contains a lab monitor

schedule and the phone numbers of people to reach if they cannot make their shift. DeWilde hopes that by providing phone numbers no shift will be left unoccupied.

Also in the folder there is a manual on how to use Word Perfect. The lab monitors will now be able to assist students if they are having difficulties with the computer system. They are learning the basics of Word Perfect and have several training sessions organized. They will also be able to

handle network failures and those computers which are not working correctly.

Some of the lab monitors will also be available as tutors to students who are having difficulty in word processing and Quatro Pro, a spreadsheet program. Lab monitors are being trained to assist those business students who need to use the computer for classes.

Tuesday,Nov.12,1991 Cabrini College carries on the work of the woman it is named for, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the founder of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, the college's sponsor.

Mother Cabrini's work with immigrants in the United States and around the world led her to establish schools, hospitals, and social work agencies to care for the spiritual and material needs of people. In 1946 she was the first American citizen to be named a saint by the Catholic Church, and hers is the only woman's name on the base of the Statue of Liberty. It is a day in which we members of the Cabrini community, in various ways, seek to deepen a commitment to the values of our Cabrini tradition.

Lady Cavs lookto rebound fromdisappointingseason

athlete of the week

by Bob Healey sports editor

Coach Dl!n Welde stared blankly across the gym as he reflected upon the Lady Cavaliers season last year.

The 1990-91 campaign was a disappointment for both Welde and the women.

Injuries proved to be the team's biggest obstacle, it was a hurdle the team just could not leap.

The Lady Cavs finished 12-13 last season, the first losing season in Welde' s five year coaching tenure at Cabrini.

"We want to show it (last year) was a fluke," he said.

The team lost only captain Barb Milligan to graduation, and as Milligan walked down the aisle at graduation so did over 1,000 career points. "(It's a) photo by Judi Panasik great loss," Welde said of Milligan. "She has done a lot for us."

Senior John Osborn.

Oz: borntorun

by Tara Kegel

---------------....J

staff writer

"Oz can rock 'n' roll when he wants to," senior Tom O'Donnell said when asked about this week's athlete of the week, senior John Osborn.

Maybe you have seen him, he is tall and thin. He can usually be found roaming around in House six, strutting into the cafeteria or running on campus.

"He has a unique sense of humor which some people don't understand," Coach Tom O'Hara said. "I don't think even John understands it completely."

Osborn attended North Catholic High School located in Northeast Philadelphi a, where he ran track for three years and cross country for four years.

He was recruited for Cabrini• s cross country team by O 'Hora in 1988. He chose Cabrini because he said it was his best option. "It's close to home and I like hanging out on Cabrini's 110 rolling acres," Osborn said.

The cross country team consists of five runners: seniors John Osborn, Tom O'Donnell, Chris Callinan and sophomores Joel McGovern and H.J. Kelly.

"John is a flat out gutsy runner," 0 'Hora said. "If the race is important, John comes to surface. He has an inner determination which allows him to do remarkable things."

Osborn placed 12th out of 200 runners at the Dickenson Invitational on Oct. 19. He was the first to finish for Cabrini. He ran a personal best of 26:35 for five miles.

"John does very well when he puts his mind to it," Callinan said. The only person who seemed surprised by the nomination was Osborn. "I'm astonished," Osborn said. "I don't think I deserve it. I think Tom O'Donnell deserves it more than I do. He is toughing it out and working really hard," he said.

John is an English/communications major. After graduation he plans to enter the field of television production.

"John has a great imagination. I know he'll go far," O'Hora said.

"We need someone to pop up and show me they can help this team," Welde said. He is looking for senior Shannon O'Donnell, sophomore Adrianne Bruce and junior Amy Crossley to combine to pick-up the remainder of the scoring slack.

Welde is also hopeful that transfer sophomore Cyndi Keane can contribute positive and productive minutes in light of Bruce's nagging back injury. Bruce has been experiencing back spasms but, according to Welde, she has been doing a good job of running the floor and rebounding.

Murray has recovered from her knee surgery of last year and appears to have picked up right where she left off. "Kathy is almost 100 percent and it's a credit to her," Welde said. "She hasn't missed a beat."

Looking at · '' • the season from · a macro point of view Welde has •<o•w expressed controlled enthusiasm. "I'm cau- " tiously optimis- t tic," he said.

"It's too early to tell."

Welde said he is comfortable Coach Dan Welde with the six afore mentioned players. "It's a solid six, but we need a freshman to step up," he said. Welde said part of his concern is that the young players do not know what it takes to play at the collegiate level.

"They need to watch," he said.

Part of the maturation process of the first-year students is leadership flowing down the hierarchy of class rank. Welde is looking for Murray and O'Donnell to provide that leadership.

The rest of the maturation will come from the younger players enduring through the early difficult Lady Cav

schedule. Six of its first seven games will be played away from Sacred Heart Gym. "We will be better than .500," Welde said, "but it will be a rough start."

The Lady Cavs have a ton of home games in Janurary. "We will be rolling by then," Welde said.

It is conceivable that this year's squad could start the season 2-5. "That's where last year will help us," Welde said. "We can handle it and get better. We've been there.'· "The young kids may need this rough start to realize what this (college basketball) is all about," Welde also said.

One major key to this season will be the Lady Cavs' ability to stay clear of its perennial nemesis, the injury. The team is not deep enough to sustain injuries.

"We're due for luck," Welde said, "injuries have hurt our chances (in the past)."

Welde plans to implement the same system this year that he has in the past.

The keys will be multiple zone defenses, key rebounds and limiting turnovers.

The offense is stronger this year but the Lady Cav defense will be the key.

On offense the team will look to run and use more screens and motion in the halfcourt set-up.

Murray and Fannon will use those screens to open up their outside game, all the while, looking for Crossley and Bruce down low. This year the Lady Cavs will not rely as much on the outside game, which is a contrast to last year's scheme.

Veronica Hoffman, Ann Shemeley, Kelly Schiller and Kendra Martin round out this year's roster.

Welde, a 1983 graduate of Cabrini, played for two Keystone Athletic Conference championships and was Cabrini's first All-American basketball player. He said he still has one coaching goal remaining here at Cabrini.

"I want to hang a banner," he said.

Welde also said he would not leave unless a full-time position came along.

Philly's Fab4

by Matt Hodlofski guest columnist

The Philadelphia Phillies finished their regular season with a 74-88 record. The Eagles are currently 4-5. The Ayers and Sixers have just begun their season, but it does not look very prosperous. Do you follow and cheer for Philadelphia sports teams like I do? If so, you must be as depressed about the whole thing as I am.

I understand the Phillies and Eagles franchise players (Lenny Dykstra and Randall Cunningham) succumbed to season ending injuries, but injuries are an everyday occurrence in athletics. Good teams rebound and are able to adjust no matter what type of adversity they face. A couple of clear examples are the 1991J\tlanta Braves and the 1990-1991 New York Giants. The Giants number one quarterback (Phil Simms) went down and were still able to win the Super Bowl with their then backup quarterback Jeff Hostetler. Otis Nixon of the Atlanta Braves was suspended a few weeks before the playoffs began. He was leading the league in stolen bases. The Braves persevered without him, winnning the National League and finally playing in the most exciting World Series in recent history before losing in seven games.

What is the problem with our teams? I wish I knew all the answers, but I do not. My humble opinions on the subject is as follows.

The Phillies need to build their farm system back to the way it used to be in the early '70s.

With their latest draft signees (Tyler Green, Kevin Stocker, James Allan, Gene Schall and Steve Veduzco) it looks as though they are making a serious effort. In the immediate future they need to obtain a shortstop because Dickie Thon is getting too old and maybe some experienced pitchers for Von Hayes.

The Eagles problem is obvious. Whether or not Randall Cunningham comes back the same productive way he left, they need an offensive line. Antone Davis has been a serious disappointment.

The Ayers have not been successful sine; 1986, which was Ron Hextall's rookie season. Hextall has never Jived up to his rookie season ability. Again, injuries have plagued Hextall's career, but the Flyers should have compensated. Besides the position of goalie, the Ayers need a big scorer. They haven't had someone with that on his resume since Reggie Leach in the '70s. Rick Tocchet has assumed the "go to" role but he needs help.

The Sixers have displayed their new uniforms this season. One of the only things Sixers fans will find new. Every year Charles Barkley has played with the Sixe,rsthe<front office has tried to surround him with the right chemistry to be successful. Barkley has been one of the'most exciting players in the NBA but the Sixers have not and will not reach their goal of champions· this season.

I believe this season will be ugly. Barkley is still Barkley and. hi: will be on top of the league in most offensive categories but they will not go anywhere. The Sixers cannot win without a legitimate center. Charles Shackerford is just not good enough. Look for a major trade to go down if not this season, the next.

Cavs set for season New additions will be the key

-compiled by Bob Healey

Skins Scalp Competition

Cavalier Preview

The Washington (politically incorrect) Redskins remain the only undefeated, untied team in the National Football League. On Sunday they defeated the Houston Oilers 16-13 in overtime, in wh!lt many considered a Super Bowl preview, on a 41-yard Chip Lohmiller field goal. The Skins own the second stingiest defense in the league and have yielded only 108 points thus far.

Back On Happy Trails Jimmy Johnson has his Dallas Cowboys off to an impressive start with a 6-3 record. This Sunday the Cowboys will do battle with Lone-Star State mate Houston in the AstroDome. The · Cowboys have been mired in mediocracy bordering on anemia the last few seasons. However, through shrewd draft choices and excellent trades, the Cowboys have risen from the dust of obscurity and are riding high once again.

Bear Of A Game Sunday was a blustery frigid Chicago afternoon and the Bears defeated the out-of-their-element Detroit Lions 20-10. It was stereotypical "Bear" weather and following the game Mike Ditka said, "It was the dome factor in reverse. It was nice to see dirty uniforms again.' '

The Lone Iron Man When Randall Cunningham went down early this year it ended his consecutive games started streak at 62. Last week Dan Marino broke the all-time record for consecutive games started by a quaterback when he started his 117th game in a row in Indianapolis.

The quarterback closest to Marino is Jim Everett (55) then the ageless Steve DeBerg (30).

Marino broke the record that was once held by ex-Eagle Ron Jaworski. Maybe that is why he wants to rejoin the Eagles.

Up In Smoke 'bnce again, for the third time, Reggie Jackson's possessions have been ravaged by flames. Jackson's main residence, in the Hiller Highlands section of Oakland, was destroyed by flames last week. Jackson's house, on the same site, burned to the ground in 1976. More recently Jackson lost several vintage automobiles in a warehouse fire.

A Day Late And A Dollar Short Last week Larry Johnson, the former U.N .L. V. star and the top N .B.A. draft pick, signed a six-year $19,999,999 contract with the Charlotte Hornets. The contract was written this way to prevent Johnson's agent from bragging about receiving a $20 million contract.

With clauses and options the contract basically is 4 years, $11.3 million which is similiar to Derrick Coleman's (last year's top pick) $3-million a year contract.

What's InA Name The Vancouver Canucks are leading the Smythe Division and it probably will not be long until ticked-off Frenchmen congregate outside the Vancouver Arena begging for a name change. Canuck is a negative term for Frenchman.

Sophomores Jamie Shaak and David Glover battle with senior Mike Massari for a rebound.

Glover is a transfer student and Massari is returning after missing the second-half of last season.

by Carlo Iacono and Chris Pesotski guest writers Cavalier basketball coach John Dzik is ready for the 26-game regular season with a team that bears little outward resemblance to the squad of veterans and over-achievers he took to the Eastern States Athletic Conference Championship game last spring.

Gone are All-ESAC seniors John O'Hare and Jason Yurchak and their 3,500 combined points. Gone is the experienced backcourt team of Jeff Hines and Jeff Barnes. Gone also are two perennial wins over Wesley College, which has left the conference.

What is present in the gym at Sacred Heart Hall is a new feeling, which, according to Dzik, is built on the experience of nearly winning the ESAC title last

year and a deep, young core of players all scrapping to get onto the court. "We ended the season on a positive note last year," Dzik said. "We're going to work from that point."

Dzik discounts the loss of the four seniors from the 1990-91 Cavalier team. "We lost four good players," Dzik said, "but I think that this year's team is better than last year's." Much of Dzik' s confidence can be traced to the fact that there is no question that the blue and white bench is a talented group. Another positive sight is the fact that many players came into camp in far better condition than in years past.

Among the Cavaliers who appeared to drop a few pounds and pick up a move or two over the off-season is 6'8" junior center David Kerchner. Kerchner is the tallest center in the ESA C and lrtrn'taused major damage to opposing teams when he is on his game. Question marks on Kerchner in the past have been his inability to stay out of foul trouble and a sometimes short temper.

"If Kerchner matures," Dzik said, "he can average double figures."

Senior forward Mike Massari, who sat out half of last season with academic difficulties returns to fill a rebounding void. "He has the ability to come back," Dzik said, "but it's up to him now." According to Dzik, Massari will fill a weak spot on the team if he is able to play the entire season.

The major question that remains, however, is the riddle of who will score in this mix of players which does not include a proven, consistent scoring presence.

"I don't know the answer to that question," Dzik said.

Two keys to solving this enigma are senior guards Mike Carrafa and Jon Owens, the team captains. Carrafa, coming off an idle season due to an ankle injury, was to be counted on both as a steadying force and a sometimes spectacular outside shooter. "If Carrafa stays healthy, he'll be a double-figure scorer," Dzik said ominously.

Just days later, Carrafa injured his ankle in a scrimmage against Philadelphia Community College. Preliminary reports showed a sprain, which would put Carrafa out for at least three weeks.

With Carrafa out for the early going, a heavy responsibility falls to Owens, who seemed to come into his own toward the end of last season. Owens, who will be called on to play both guard positions, can both slash to the basket and pull up to take the outside jumper. "We

Cavaliersfinishseason 12-7

by Kimberly Haban

staff writer Despite a sluggish start on Saturday morning following the fall formal the soccer team defeated Delaware Valley College 3-2. Junior Glen Jaskelewicz scored all three goals.

The game against Del. Val. ended the 1991 soccer season for the Cavaliers. Although the team did not win the ESAC championship this year they did produce a winning record of 12-7.

After winning the ESAC championship last year the Cavs themselves and the campus community expected another title this year. "Everyone thought we were champs before we even started," junior Kevin Gaherty said.

Coach Duncan Hubley's expectations were high, he said, but not as high the players. 'Tm a better judge of soccer players than they are," Hubley said.

"You go to college to learn."

Defense was one of the strong points of the 1991 soccer team. Junior co-captain Mike Conner said, "Our defense was solid." Senior co-captain Billy DiRita said the defense set the tone for how well the team would do.

"If the defense held the other team scoreless for a while the offense could warm up and score," DiRita said.

DiRita himself was another strong aspect of the team. "He worked really hard as a leader," Steve D' Angelo, sophomore, said. "He kept everyone together. Watching him got you worked up to play."

Hubley said, "DiRita was the best person to go to Cabrini. I've never had a person/player combo like him."

Having two new first-year students as starting goalies was a weakness for this year's team. "They need
