Athletic conflict '"~triggers policy

Released hostage 'free at last'

Joseph Cicippio, 61, was released on Dec. 2 to American officials after spending more than five years in captivity in Lebanon. Cicippio worked at the American University of Beirut as an acting comptroller when he was seized on Sept. 12, 1986. Cicippio was taken to Germany where American hostages are taken for questioning and medical examinations. The sign outside Cicippio's brother's home in Norristown has been posted since his capture and has counted the days since his capture. Four remainmg Western hostages are still being held but, according to what the kidnappers told Cicippio, will be released by the end of the year.

Low attendance and budget constraints may cut 'Thursdays' -·

by Katherine Ross

staff writer

"Thursdays" is encountering a few problems. For the past few weeks the attendance at "Thursdays" has been low. Low attendance, along with constraints the Student Government Association (SGA) is facing with the budget, may lead to the cancellation of "Thursday's."

To have an on-campus pub was one of the suggestions brought up at the town meetings last year.

"Thursdays" was SGA's solution to this request.

"Thursdays" is held in the Widener Center Gathering Area for the over-21 crowd on campus. The Social Activities board runs the event each week and funding for it comes from SGA. Jennifer Morrison, social activities chairperson of the SGA execu-

tive board, along with other members of the social activities committee are the people who put "Thursdays" together each week.

"The first 'Thursdays' was great.

We actually made a profit," Morrison said.

'We just have enough money to cover the traditional events without having 'Thursday's'absorbing what is left.'

-Jennifer Morrison social activities chairperson

Morrison said.

The cover charge per person of $3 covers the cost of security and any entertainment provided at the event. "The cover charge does not cover the cost of the alcohol; SGA basically donates it to the event," Morrison said.

SGA has an allotted budget for social activities each year. The budget covers the cost of all the trad~tional events such as Superthon, the Block Bash, and any other event that SGA annually holds.

"Next semester's budget for SGA is very tight. We just have enough money to cover the traditional events without having 'Thursdays' absorbing what is left," Morrison said.

Morrison said that the over-21 crowd on campus is not enthusias

"There is a cover charge for 'Thursdays' that covers most of the cost required to run it each week,"

This year the men's basketball team has scheduled two games during finals against Div. I opponents, Radford University and The Citadel. Although these games will guarantee the athletic program $3,500, they conflict with the final exam schedule.

This conflict was discussed at the Nov. 26 Academic Council meeting of department heads. Dr. M. Antoinette Schiesler, academic dean, is the chairperson.

At the meeting a resolution was passed that all extracurricular activities, including intercollegiate athletic events and practices, club meetings and other school sponsored events, not be scheduled during exams. The motion passed unanimously Prior to this, there has not been a written, formal policy regarding intercollegiate athletics events during finals. There has been, however, a "philosophical agreement," Athlethic Director John Dzik said.

In the four years that Dzik has been athletic director for both men and women there have not been any games scheduled during finals.

Dzik said he realized that scheduling the games during finals would go against the agreement but he

said it was only an exception to the policy because it would generate money.

"I agree with, concur with and support the agreement," Dzik said.

"Hell, I initiated it."

Dzik said the sole reason the games were scheduled was because $3,500 would be raised, which amounts to 10 percent of the athletic department's operating budget. "We don't have enough money in athletics," he said. "If I had enough money, I wouldn't have to do this." :rhe games were scheduled during finals because Cabrini was at the mercy of its opponents since they were Div:·ne1iools. "This is a fundraiser that goes fa'r beyond fun and games," Dzik said.

The problem was brought to Schiesler's attention by Dr. Jolyon Girard, history and political science department chairperson, after one of his students, a member.of the basketball team, inquired about having his final moved. This is when Girard recalled the situation in the past and went in search of a policy but did not find a written one.

"There is now," Schiesler said in reference to the fact that there has not been a written policy.

Colleges exposed to problem ofshoplifting

by Amy Wechsler staff writer

Shoplifting is a serious problem for many retail stores especially around during the holiday season.

College bookstores are not immune to this problem.

Villanova University bookstore manager Frank Henninger feels that although shoplifting is not a serious problem in their store, it is there.

"We are taking prtcautions," Henninger said.

Tom McFadden, bookstore manager at West Chester University, considers shoplifting to be a problem in any college bookstore. "Ev-

eryone has it. _Iwon't deny it, but it's not a major problem," McFadden said.

At Cabrini, shoplifting does not seem to be a problem according to Rosemary Hagen, bookstore manager. "I can't say I've seen anyone," Hagen said.

Hagen said she spends much of her time in the bookstore placing orders and doing paperwork in her office in the back of the store. This leaves the student employees unsupervised up front to work the store.

According to bookstore em-

The real Christmas Black Friday's ringing cash registers signified the beginning of the Christmas season. The constant or slow volume of the registers will act as an economic indicator for President Bush in January.

The true meaning of this Christian holiday may be completely overlooked.

Shop owners will be worrying about staying open after the season. Fortyseven percent of Americans said they are spending less this holiday season, according to a poll conducted by ABC's Nightline.

The recession is taking the country away from the extravagent 1980's.

Many families will be more concerned about having food on the table for Christmas instead of gifts under the tree.

The country is now forced to appreciate the little things since the big things have been lost.

This movement returning to the simple life offers a time of reflection.

Maybe Christmas' true meaning can be rediscovered somewhere within the wish lists and holiday sales.

For Cabrini the interim allows enough time to regroup our energies. We have time to breath and refocus before we return to the final stages of the Presidential Search next semester and much more.

Let's not loose sight of our original values before we forge ahead into our future's and that of the college. .

Within the hustle and bustle make the time for the true meaning of Christmas. It is something we could all use in our hearts for the rest of the year.

I Ivie w point

A child's nightmare lastsforever lorraine Iill features editor Five girls, ages 13, 12, eight, five and three, along with two boys ages l Oyears and eight months old were in foster care of a certain couple in my hometown. Up until a few weeks ago no one knew what happened behind the closed doors of the apartment building these children lived in. Now the foster father of these children is in jail awaiting a preliminary hearing.

The charges according to the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat, are "rape, torture, stretchings and bloodlettings of the children." The disgusting fact about this morbid act of child molestation is that this man was not the only one involved. His wife, three other men and three minors contributed in some way to violate these innocent children.

The Tribune-Democrat said that for probably the past five and a half years this couple has "molested and sodomized two of the girls, ages 12 and 13, often lashing them to a couch and taping ~heir mouths to muffle their screams."

Other acts of kicking the children, throwing knives at their feet, and beating them with a 6-foot-long 2-by-4 were only half of the violence bestowed upon these children so graciously placed in the care of this couple.

The most shocking type of desecration was the way a double-edged sword was used "to slash the children's hands so their blood could be used in satanic rituals, and forced the children to suck the blood from wounds he (the foster father) would inflict upon himself," according to the Tribune-Democrat.

Considering that it is the Christmas season, the arrest of this man and the end of the

torture tyrate these children withstood everyday is a blessing.

But what kind of a Christmas will it be for these kids and how stable with their Christmas's be in the future?

I can only imagine the horrors that will attack the dreams these children will have as they lie upon their pillows each night.

I can only hope that these children can sleep safely now. The worst thing that could happen is that they have to refight this man each night before they can go to sleep. And then will they sleep silently?

I realize that reading this viewpoint possibly makes you nauseated. I personally had to hold back my tears when I read the original story. Unfortunately, Christmas is not always bright and shiny for every child in this world.

When we were eight and nine years old we waited anxiously to rip open the colorfully wrapped presents that Santa left under the tree. We ate all the Christmas candy and food until we felt like our insictes would explode. · What did these kids do on Christmas all these years that they've been living in this house? I can 9Jll)t imagine, yet imagining is · a terrible thought.

Everyday of my high school career I drove past this apartment building never thinking twice about what was going on inside. How naive we are as citizens.

Even though we think we know the person who is standing next to us or we think we know the type of people who live in our hometowns; we really know nothing, even at Christmas time.

Once that door is shut, we are closed off to what happens inside.just like those kids were closed off to the help they needed from the people outside.

Even at Christmas time the children need our help. We tend to block these problems out sometimes and only focus on the good, but behind what appears to be good, perhaps may be bad.

The point I'm trying to make by sharing this nauseating fact of life with you is that there are bigger problems in the world besides the fact that the cafeteria may not always prepare dinner the way you like it.

lcorrectionsj l~tters In the Nov. 22 issue, the article "Retirement policy to be reviewed by the college," listed some of the stipulations of the proposal incorrectly. According to Anne Kruse, head of the retirement policy committee, a faculty member does not have to be 60-years-old before becoming eligible. Full time faculty could be 55 years of age with 20 years minimum of service to the college. Kruse said that the proposal does not include anything about a pension plan and once the proposal is approved it will be easy to extend to everyone. Kruse is attributed in the article as saying that the proposed policy is not definite and it is hoped that changes will be suggested.

Kruse said the committee is not looking for suggestions until after it is approved to "add" to benefits.

In "Resources that promise to help students find money" in the Nov. 22 issue, Christine Cocchia, financial aid counselor, is quoted as saying that services like the College Money Tree and Educational Funding Sources are much in need. Cocchia said she was asked about unused college aid money. Cocchia is strongly against such services as stated in her letter to the editor (p.3) Lisa Bogia, public relations associate/writer was referred to incorrectly as the publications manager in the "Expert Resources: faculty, staff speak" article in the Nov. 22 issue.

rials provide us with the insights into trends and activities at Cabrini College which are so important to concerned parents.

Specifically, through loquitur we can closely follow: the degree and type of student participation at social and athletic activities; the effectiveness of security operations, and the related effect it has on the quality of life on the campus; the progress of the college's academic and curriculum development; and the opportunities offered to students to become involved in their school.

As important as the Loquitur is to us in the following school activities even more important is how the Loquitur helps us share experiences with our daughter. As a family we have worked together to develop common experiences, which we feel helps form a strong sense of family. Through Loquitur we continue to develop these shared experiences by "remote control.

We feel that you and the staff are doing a particularly outstanding job for the 1991-92 Loquitur, and deserve recognition for that accomplishment. Your efforts have resulted in a paper that is thoroughly professional in its presentation, and thoughtful in its con-

Credit card agencies

The exploitation The piercing ring of the phone rudely summoned my attention at the ungodly hour of 11 a.m. on my day off. Naturally, I answered the phone with all intentions of ripping the other person a new personal orafice, but my upbringing did not allow for this urge, so instead I said, "Hello."

The cheery individual on the other end of the line began her sermon with the congratulatory speech of how I was just awarded a Visa card due to "your stellar financial status, Mr. Ardingo Iacono."

"Huh," I replied ever so politely, 'That would be my father and he is not here right now, could you call back at five."

"Oh, I'm sorry, then with whom am I speaking," she continued. "'Ibis is his son, Carlo."

"Are you 21 years of age?" she beckoned.

"Why yes," I answered because, you know, I was proud of the fact that I could legally get ugly in a public watering hole.

"Well, then congratulations, you have just been awarded a Visa card," she exclaimed.

"Now just give me your full address and savings status , you will have the card in the mail within the week."

"Hey, wait a minute, I don't want a card," I explained after a brief vision of the credit card life filled with riches but my brain gave me a quick jolt of reality-the current vision of me scrounging up change at 7-Eleven ala Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

"I feel I can't meet the proper financial responsibilities of a credit card," I said. "But when I do, you'll be the first to know."

"Oh," the lady said in a dejected way. "Do you have any pets?"

"What?"

"Forms of plankton?"

"Your're crazy!"

"Any shrubs?"

carlo iacono guest columnist

I hung·up and, since I was stirred from my sleep an hour earlier than normal, I decided to start the day off with a little culture- I watched some vintage "Love Boat."

The moral of this story is not how to politely answer the phone in the early morning hours. Instead it involves something greater, great enough for me to waste this space and your time. The moral of this story cuts to the very fabric of how we, Americans, now live our lives.

In a society that now glorifies recreational activity and status symbols, we have come up with a system that lets us taste the fruits of victory before we even fight the battle.

We pay later.

Want something now? Charge it. Need a new toy? Charge it. Why, we have started a recreational sport that mi1lions (and this is going to get me in trouble) of females participate in with skil1 and zeal - the professional shopper. Mom and daughter can spend endless hours bonding together under the neon lights and sales signs. Fathers and sons still bond rather cheaply-we get in a boat, yell at each other on how to properly tie a lure, and fall asleep during the age old ritual of fishing.

But in the old days, people wouldn't fish until they could afford a fishing pole. A bamboo shoot with dental floss attached to the end would have done just fine until pop

Financial services called misleading To the editor: In reference to last week's article, "Resources that promise to help students find money," I do not feel that the financial aid "services" mentioned are in need, in fact they are a waste of money. Students and parents need to take initiative and research available scholarships and grants that are out there.

Federal and state financial aid programs were created as a service to students and do not charge $250-$500 or whatever those socalled "services" charge. No student needs to pay a company like The College Money Tree to help him or her apply for available resources. The College Money Tree and other companies like it cannot guarantee eligibility or amounts of aid, nor can they look into a crystal ball and foresee your financial aid future. These financial aid "services" can only tell you what aid you might qualify for, but you still have to apply to those programs directly. Organizations like the Knights of Columbus, local Rotary clubs, IBM, etc., offer scholarships and publish the information in books that can be found in your local library.

Although financial aid applications

maybe a "hassle," they are designed to be as fair as possible in determining financial aid eligibility. Financial aid is not a lottery, it is based on a formula created by Congress.

Sincerely, Christine Cocchia Financial Aid Counselor To the editor: I am writing regarding the article titled "Resources that promise to help students find money."

1 want to make sure that students understand that scholarship search companies are Jllllin business as a service to students but rather are FOR PROFIT franchises. In my 14+ years in financial aid, I have never seen a student profit from such a service but I have seen them waste as much as $500 for vague, misleading or just wrong information. Financial aid information is available for no charge from any college aid office and from any number of free or low cost publications.

Sincerely, Arlene Ditbrenner Director of Financial Aid

of a generation could afford the real thing, which cost in the neighborhood of five dollars, or a "year's pay" as the old timers would say.

Today if a kid wants to fish, the father will go along with this notion even though he has his own horrors about the angler experience from childhood. He does this for the fact that he doesn't want to be a guest on Oprah about neglective fathers.

To fish the father must buy all the necessary equipment now - pole, tackle box, fishing fashion and boat rental - but not necessarily pay now. He will pay later. Later is weeks after the fact when his son hates fishing and the garage if filled with the "best" fishing equipment. It rests right next to the top-of-the-line golf clubs, stae of the art Atari 2600 video game system and the halayia stick.

Now the father is getting a little ticked that he is getting outragous bills (to the tune of a "small shore house" for the old days) for equipment that is collecting dust. All of this because of a credit card enabling him not to say no. What a country!

Now, I have taken economics courses, so I understand the necessity and virtues of establishing credit. Credit "primes the pump" of our economic system enabling consumers to purchase large ticket items more than once a decade. If this occurance were not to happen, everybody would be out of a job and the question of establishing credit would be moot.

But that is where the problem now lies.

Even if you were unemployed, the friendly lady from Visa would give you a card right there on the phone. I got to thinking that calling a household during mid-morning and accepting whomever or whatever as a card recepient is a Littledangerous. What is to say that being a card recipient is a little danger-

ous. What is to say that I'm not a loafer who will take the card and buy a keg of Old Style beer, a small refrigerator (to keep the beer cold) and a frisbee banking on the concept of paying later. There is more honor in the concept of working hard some 40 hours a week for the right to blow your money on stupid things - not blow somebody else's money.

Because in the end it is not somebody else• s money or even Visa's money, it is our money. The nation resides in the worst debtsituation since its infancy because of this credit-card mentality. It is not entirely our fault, because for the first time since the inception of man (aside from baseball team owners), people with money are stupid about who and what they lend it too.

The credit card companies are willing to give everybody cards. The banks gave every real estate developer a suitcase fu)] of money everytime he wanted to build something (it must have been nice being Donald Trump circa 1986 and having the Citibank president throw cash at you when all you wanted to know was where you could take a wee). And the gove~ment, the trend setter that it is, has been wasting it (our) meney for years.

So, as naive as it sounds, I blame everything from the recession to shrinking sex drive on that lady from Visa. She has no business giving a punk like me a credit line until I'm rich, stinking rich, or have a real job.

But I know that philadendren in kitchen is pretty ticked that I hung up on her. He wanted to impress the potted pant of a babe in the comer with a new car.

Carlo Iacono is former editor-in-chief of the Loquitur. He now spends his time '' hanging out'' and doing thesis work. He is able to squeeze out a column or two in his spare time.

Accountingfor dollars To the editor: We have one question to address to our ever loving business office (or whomever deals with finances at Cabrini for that matter). WHERE DOES OUR MONEY GO?!

Flu shots cost $10, yet we are charged for health services.

Why is that? At state funded schools, students get shots for free. Sure you might say they get funding from the state, but then they do not receive $8,000 a semester from each student either.

If a course catalog is lost, we must pay $3 to get a new one. Is paper that expensive or is our school just that cheap? There is also a charge of $10 to withdraw from a course - come on, profs are not really that hearbroken if there is one less student in class. This is another service that is free at most schools.

Where is our money going? It certainly not spent on the dog food we are fed daily. Why aren't we fed and treated like parents and prospective student?

Parents pay an arm and a leg for their beloved children to "stand out from the crowd," so one would figure that some of the $16,000 we pay a year could cover some of the costs mentioned earlier.

It seems like every time we turn around, there is something else that the school is charging us for. What's next?

A dollar for each piece of fruit taken from the caf, a $.25 toll to get on and off campus? We're waiting.

Sincerely, Heather Moyer, Sallie Bomberger, Nicole Picciano, Heather McAllister, and Jenna Flenard P.S. Has anyone ever thought declining enrollment and the "quality" of our services might be related? Think about it.

Statistics from last year are compared to this year to show a decrease in damage incurred during the fall semester. The figures show an obvious decrease in damage for both residence and overall campus damage. According to Chief Physical Plant Officer, Michael Caranfa, damage is seen through two different aspects. Physical Plant looks at the number of incidents that happened and the total cost in monetary terms. Caranfa gave two reasons for the lower ·'damage costs for the fall-semester. "Increased security presence in the dormitories and the effective resident life program has made a difference," Caranfa said.

The figures were compiled by Marianne DeFruscio, assistant director of resident life.

"Of the people that do come to 'Thursdays'. and there is always a particular group that shows up each week, they always have a good time and I do not mind holding the event for them," Morrison said.

"If people have ideas of what they would like to see at 'Thursdays· they should come and see me. The only way we can have fun events on campus is if people show up," Morrison said.

"Most students think that 'Thursdays' is a great idea and everyone is for it, but no one shows up for the actual event it does not make any sense," Amy Wechsler, a social activities assistant, said.

Wechsler said that SGA does not want to make a profit off "Thursdays," it wants to break even so as not to keep losing money.

According to both Dzik and Schiesler, Dzik called Schiesler in the spring of 1991 to let her know that he was negotiating two contracts for games during finals.

Dzik said Schiesler told him it was okay to schedule the games and they would work it (finals) out. "I wouldn't have done it without her (Schiesler) consent," Dzik said.

He subsequently followed the phone call up with a written letter on August 19,reminding Schiesler that the games were scheduled during finals.

Schiesler did not responded to Dzik following the letter. "He (Dzik) contacted me and I completely forgot," Schlesier said.

According to Schiesler, because of her error the players will not have to pay a fee to have their exams moved.

According to Girard, the policy will not be implemented until next year because the games were already scheduled and Dzik went through the proper channels.

According to Dzik, Schlesier told him that a cancellation of the games was a possibility.

However, Dzik said that a cancellation could prompt a lawsuit by the opponents. Schlesier

withdrew the idea of cancelling.

According to Girard, students are not here to play basketball except as a secondary experience. "Nobody understands that better than Dzik," Girard said. '"You can't let the carraige drive the horse," Girard said. "Money can't be the driving ptipc;iRl.l.,.Anything that detracts from the focus of students during finals is inconsistent with the concept of college."

Girard, a former athletic director at Cabrini, said the athletic program is underfunded and Dzik should not have to go out and make money the department should have anyway. "The college isn't properly funding the program," he said.

Salisbury State University Athletic Director Dr. William Lide is the president of the Eastern States Athletic Conference. Lide said there is an unwritten policy not to schedule conference games during finals.

This year a majority ofESAC games have been scheduled for weekends to minimize the amount of class time missed by students.

Saint Joseph's University has a written policy that no games be played during finals.

'JesusChristSuperstar'

A Christmas attraction at the Walnut

by Belinda Desher staff writer Christmas is a time for remembering the birth of Christ. Meanwhile the Walnut Street Theater is bringing back to Philadelphia Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of the seven day passion of Jesus Christ in •·Jesus Chnst Superstar" for the first time in 16 years.'

This pop-rock musical is considered a show biz phenomenon, having sold more than two and a half million copies of the record before the show first hit the stage.

The combination of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music and Tim Rice's lyrics provide a unique presentaion of the final days of the man knownas Jesus Christ.

The play was written from no particular religious standpoint. Webber and Rice wrote the play simply to raise questions, not answer them.

Jesus' last seven days are seen through the eyes of his apostle and betrayer, Judas Iscariot.

It is clearly evident that Judas is tom between betrayirtg his friend, Jesus, and trying to save himself and the others from the dismal future that he sees lying ahead of them. He questions who Jesus is and why he is here. "Jesus Christ, Superstar: Who are you, what do you say you are?"

From the first time the characters appear on stage, they are all portrayed as humans, especially Jesus. Even from his first words, we see Judas pleading with Jesus, "All I ask is that you listen to me. And remember I've been your right hand man all along."

He is afraid for all of their lives and what is going to happen to them.

This humanistic theme is repeated time after time. For example, after Christ's arrest, Mary Magdeline, Peter and others gather to plead with Christ for a new beginning by asking, "Could we start again, please? I think you've made you 're point now. You've even gone a bit to far to get the message through.:~could we start again, please?"

We do not just see all of this through the dramatic aspect. The characters can all be wonderfully funny. It is hard to believe that anyone could fail to find the sight of King Herod doing a soft-shoe in a swimming pool brilliantly hysterical.

Closer to the end, Judas' up-tempo song, "Jesus Christ Superstar" is filled with comedy the whole way through, and his back-up singers look eerily like the back-up singers from "Beauty School Drop-Out" from the musical "Grease."

The portrayal of Christ requires not only emotional but physical strength as well.

Reed Armstrong was capable of both. . He gave a commanding performance as he sang in the Garden of Gethsemine. The audience could hear the pain in his voice as he stumbled and pleaded with His Father to be released from the destiny promised to him. "Take this cup away from me, for I don't want to taste its poison."

La Chanze 's role of Mary Magdeline, the prostitute befriended by Jesus, gives her one of the most well-known songs from the musical, "I Don't Know How to Love Him." Her performance lived up to the audience's expectations. La Chanze captured the viewer's attention, both with her voice and her actions.

Herman Sebeck 's portrayal of Judas was a thrill to watch. He effectively gained the sympathy of the audience especially during his feeble attempts to resist the "temptations."

Sebeck displays the torment of having an

Sebeck's performance provides the visual evidence that Judas was not a malevolent, greedy back-stabber, but rather a victim of circumstance with a conscience.

All of the supporting cast played their roles wonderfully, although Simon Zealotus and Herod deserve special recognition for their brilliant portrayals.

The play was written from no particular religious stand point. Webber and Rice wrote the play simply to raise questions, not answer them.

As the play drew to a conclusion, we hoped for the inevitable - that the end would change, and Christ would live. The huge, white backdrop fell to the ground, revealing a familiar symbol-a human form nailed to a cross. This time it was different. This was not a carved replica of the human figure set

According to Reed the scholarship is based on financial need, activity involvement related to the communications major and a student's grade point average.

"I have financial need for the scholarship, especially after my accident. It couldn't have come at a better time."

In October, Reed was involved in a car accident. As she was rounding a corner on Eagle Road, which runs along side Cabrini, a deer ran out in front of her car. Trying to avoid injury to the deer, Reed ran off the road and into a pole.

Reed said that during her interview for the scholarship one gentleman said that it seems as though she has a Jot of strength and the board wanted to know where it came from.

Reed responded, "It comes from inside. If I didn't think I deserved the scholarship, then why should you."

"You have to pull yourself up from your own booth straps. That goes with everything in life."

Santa Claus and children's wishes for Christmas

by Catherine DeHart

staff writer

For centuries children and adults alike have rejoiced Christmas and all of the spirit and magic that it brings.

Christmas is a season of joy and happiness and who better to be a part of the festivites than Santa Claus.

The tradition of gift giving has been around as long as Christmas. Santa Claus is known throughout the world as the jolly old man who lives at the North Pole with his wife and elves. On Dec. 24, he boards his sleigh, pulled by his reindeer, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixon, Commet, Cupid, Donner, B litzen and of course Rudolph, to bring toys to all the good boys and girls. Santa Claus alias St. Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, and Papa Noel, watches little children all year long and keeps a list of the naughty and the nice.

On Christmas Eve he makes his decision to place toys under the tree or lumps of coal in stockings.

Santa Claus usually makes his first appearance of the holiday season on Thanksgiving Day in the numerous Thanksgiving Day parades.

From Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, Santa makes special appearances at various department stores, shopping malls and schools to make sure he hears what all of the girls and boys are asking for. While Santa is co11structing his list the elves in the toy shop at the North Pole are busy making toys.

This year, because of the late Thanksgiving holiday, Santa appeared a little earlier. While Santa was visiting The Court at the King of Prussia Mall, he said that coming out earlier this year was personally not a problem, but it is for the parents.

The heat is on

■

■

Santa said that his early visit causes children to wait too long until Christmas, the children become impatient anticipating the magic night when Santa and his sleigh will land on their roof tops and deliver the toys. Santa's main priority is the children. Without them there would be no Santa.

Santa said,''Some children have sensitive happy needs, such as asking Santa to bring a gift to their parents." Santa

Some children have sensitive happy needs, such as asking Santa·to bring a gift to their parents."

- Santa Claus stressed that this Christmas children are no more materialistic than they were other years.

Santa said that many different kinds of toys were being asked for this year. "For the little girls," he said,"live dolls and Barbies are popular. For the older girls, they are asking for doll houses and kitchen sets.'' Santa also said that among his many requests for Nintendo and other eletronic games, boys are asking for more traditional toys. ''Robust toys, like Tonka trucks and cars are what small boys are asking for," Santa said. He also said, "the traditional train set is also popular this year."

Santa said he gets very interesting requests for gifts from children but his most interesting this year was a horse. He stressed that whenever children come to him asking for live animals such as puppies and kittens he tells the children,"ask

if it is alright with mommy and daddy first."

While the children sit on Santa's lap and tell him their wishes, some cry, others laugh and some cannot even talk because they are so filled with amazement. Santa said that throughout the day many children of all ages come to visit him. "Some as young as six weeks old, some in their teens, and even adults," Santa said,"All want a picture with Santa, your never too old for Santa."

Some of the Children visiting Santa this day had to be coaxed by their parents to talk to Santa. "Look at him and tell him what you want." "Speak louder so he can hear you," were some of the directions given by parents to theirchildren while sitting on Santa's lap.

Most of the children were shy at first and when asked what they wanted to see under their tree on Christmas morning they would say,"I don't know."

Parents are a big help to Santa. They explain to him which toy the child is asking for. One little boy asked for a candy cane. Another child said that the "real Santa Claus is at Strawbridges."

Finally, Santa gave his weather prediction for this Christmas Eve. Santa said that the skys should be clear and he will have no trouble for his 24 hour journey. But Santa did reveal,"For the first time in many, many years there will be snow on the ground on Christmas morning, it will be a white Christmas."

On Dec. 24 make sure you leave out plenty of Christmas goodies, milk, hot chocotate and don't forget some carrots for the reindeer. Just because you do not see Santa go down your chimney does not mean he is not re!L,Believe in the magic of the season. Santa is real.

VP position still vacant·

by Carin Pesotski staff writer

President Sister Eileen Currie, MSC, in a Loquitur article said, "In the next two weeks I would like to think we'll have a decision made as to who will be the next vice-president." That was over a month ago.

The vice presidency has been empty since early summer when Anthony Brocchi vacated the office.

"We had hoped to have a vice president by Oct. 1," Mary Ellen Herzog, director of development said.

According to Herzog, the search firm retained by the college found three very well-qualified candidates. The first candidate backed 0

out and after several delays the second and third candidates did also.

Herzog is unsure of who the present candidates are.

"Candidates are reluctant to commit to the office because of the new presidency," Herzog explained.

"When interviewing candidates, it is necessary to explain that the position would be open on a oneyear basis," Herzog said.

Herzog now believes a vice president won't be named until the new president is named. It is important that the vice-president be able to work closely with the president.

At the moment, Currie and the Board of Trustees are doing a large amount of work that the vice president should do. This work includes going out and asking for funds. Not

many new contacts are being made without a vice president.

Herzog said that she could not perform a large majority of the vice president's duties because the hierarchy of the college is important to donors.

It is hard to tell if the capita! campaign has been affected by the vacancy of the vice president position because of the recession and its effect. According to Nancy Costello, director of capital campaign, the vice president is a partner with her in raising funds.

Right now, the consulting firm of Marts and Lundy is working hard to made up for the absence of a vice-president. Gwinn Scott, of Marts and Lundy, has done a lot of hands-on work and has been very accessible to the College.

partment, said guidelines for using special quest artists were just formulated. According to Zurek. he feels that using professionals elevates the student's desire to learn and work up to the level of the outside artist.

"The theater courses focus on the development of an individual person but the plays themselves serve the purpose of raising cultural and theatrical awareness on campus.

When the role 1sbeyond what any student could manage, a special guest artist is needed to put on a professional quality play, Zurek said.

Villanova University's theater department has a policy of casting at least 50 percent students in all their productions. According to public relations member, Mimi Smith, "We don't do much precasting. If we have a roll we have no students to fill, we call a number of professional actors in the area."

Bryn Mawr College has a policy never to use special guest artists, only students in their productions because it is part of a student's grade.

Kelly Jennings, financial aid loan officer, has a bachelor in fine arts from Syracuse University. Jennings said that at Syracuse they had a

large theater department and because of high competition. students were w,ually not ca~t until junior or semoryear. According to Jennings. the productions were closed tononmajors unless the role called the actor to play someone s parent. In that case, the faculty panicipated in the productions.

Jennings also spent three consecutive summers at the Villanova University theater as stage manager for the equity summer stock actors. Jennings said that most of these thespians came from the Philadelplua center city area.

"I leaned a lot watching the actors:' Jennings said about observing them work with the directors and breaking down scenes. According to Jennings, 1f Cabrini had more acting majors, bringing in outside actors would cause more problems.

"As a college, we are required to challenge and educate," Newman said. yet, he also has to satisfy the community's needs. Ifl offer something that fails, the community wouldn't be happy. I've got to deliver a product. The audience wants a rewarding theatrical experience."

Party policyrevisedand ready for use

by Anna Rodriguez staff writer Frank Emmerich, student government association president (SGA), said that many significant changes came about from the revision of the fonner party policy.

Though changes are still being made, the revised policy will be in full effect next semester.

Due to concerns voiced by students over the old policy about a month ago, the Student Affairs subcommitt~ of the Board of Trustees entrusted a group of students with rewriting the party policy. In its updated form the policy provides students flexibility in running legal parties.

According to Emmerich, the

students who revised it were asked to participate or voluntarily participated in the process.

Emmerich said that what led to the revision was the ambiguity involving the old policy. "This one is clearer on who makes the decisions and who is responsible for the party," Emmerich said.

Up to this point, the only people who viewed the revised policy were students who received the copy in their mailboxes and were asked for input they had regarding the changes made.

Emmerich said the purpose for the lack of involvement of the administration was partly the Board of Trustees' idea. In this way the students would be held responsible for their decisions.

Emmerich said that many

significant changes came about from the revision. "Before, the perception seemed to be that it was one person's decision, now it can belefttoacommittee,"Emmerich said.

"Self discipline seemed to , be another factor that the revised policy brought about," Emmerich said. Since each hosting group imposes a security bond the students have a moral obligation to ensureThat the party is executed successfully. · In a non-resident hall the bond is$ 100, whereas in a resident hall a bond equal to $5 per resident is required.

"Everyone involved with the process was very happy with the outcome," Emmerich said.

Proposed process for registration

Honorary education society installs chapter

by Judith A. Panasik staff writer

Something happened for the first time in the Mansion dining room on Nov. 17,1991, involving future teachers. It was the installation of the International Honor Society in Education, Kappa Delta Pi, at Cabrini.

According to Dr. Nancy Rush, professor of education, the idea of starting an honor society for education majors has been around for a couple of years. It was Suzanne O'Conner, a ·recent graduate of Cabrini, that started the Honors in Education Club. She then researched and located the international organization of Kappa Delta Pi. Rush said that it's important today to market excellence in not only academic but also personal growth. Kappa Delta Pi offered knowledge, duty and power.

After O 'Conner's graduation the students continued and elected new officers for the Honor Club and those members carried over to the international organization, according to senior Laura Colamosca, secretary of the Honor's Club.

Administration and faculty

members were also inducted into the chapter. Academic Dean Dr. M. Antoinette Schlesier, and Dr. Beverly Bryde, professor of education, members of the same organization, assisted in the installation of the chapter.

According to senior Eileen Turner, president of the Honor's Club, to be able to be a member one must have a 3.3 cumulative G .P.A., and a 3.5 cumulative G .P.A. in their major. They then must write a short essay on why they want to be a member and have two teachers signatures to support them. Once accepted there is a fee of $40 that includes a one time initiation fee in addition to national and local dues.

According to Turner, the organization has plans for several projects. They plan on providing tutors for education majors, sponsoring workshops and having discussion groups with first- year teachers sharing common problems.

They would also like to make a yearly contribution to the education research room.

According to Colamosca, they plan on accomplishing part of this through fund raisers and in conjuction to the activities. They also plan on honoring the top senior, junior and sophomore in the

There have been several ideas expressed about implementing a new registration system. The present system lasts about three weeks. The new system called faceto-face registration would last two days. "Approximately six computers would be set up in the atrium.

This would allow the student to get a print out right away," Hansbury said.

The student would walk up to the programmer and give them the course selection. It would be put into the computer and the student would receive a printout copy. This way changes and conflicts can be resolved right away. "Because registration would only last two days advisers could also be on hand for signatures and questions," Hansbury said.

According · to Sue Barnett.the associate counselor for the organization, becoming members of the society enables the education students to have access not only to the national organization but also one that is local. Barnett said that the leadership of the group so far is very high in quality, and that says a

lot for the education students involved in the society.

Turner said that the group hopes to promote and encourage success in education majors.

Right now the situation Kralle is dealing with is not one of having an understaffed security program, but getting full and part time guards instead of temporary help. "We're trying to upgrade and get decent people for the job," Kralle said.

"We 're not understaffed for coverage but would like to enforce that coverage," Kralle is in the process of hiring five to six new guards and would like each of them to rotate jobs so they know what to do in each situation.

Kralle said he is looking to find

a female guard specifically for that · Woodcrest and in the Mansion to reason. He had already hired two park in their own lots. They want to women, but they couldn't take the feel safe about getting back to the position. Kralle said he placed ads dorm.

"It would provide the women rash of calls that have living here with a better sense of been reported lately.

While feelings are security," sophomore Michelle still mixed, it is the McKenna said.

An issue yet to be resolved is general consensus of allowing students living in the campus that secu-

rity is doing an adequate job. Senior Charlie Tucci agrees, "Security only has to patrol four blocks.

They are doing an adequate job as it is with the staff they have."

Prank callers caught A recent investigation by campus security caught two people tying up security phone lines. It has not been decided what will happen to the prank callers. The calls were a direct violation of Federal Communications Commission rules and regulations, of the criminal codes, and of Bell telephone security, all of which are cause for arrest. The issue is still under investigation.

Students leave class early to go register at their appropriate time.

The face-to-face registration would stop this disruption. "It is disturbing for faculty and students when people are getting up and leaving to go register," Hansbury said. "The one-two day registration would eliminate this."

Only 59 people didn't register this semester. Approximately 40 were because of business office holds. The other 19 were miscellaneous reasons. "This was the best year so far," Hansbury said. "If anyone has suggestions as to how registration can be improved please come in and we can discuss them."

Skin protection for winter sports staff writer The onset of winter brings harsh, drying winds and temperatures that would make most of us want to stay indoors where it is warm. For some, the love of sports and outdoor activities outweigh the cold weather, but athletes exposed to this weather can cause damage to their skin.

Dr. Jim Fox, a plastic surgeon at Thomas Jefferson Hospital, said people have to be aware and careful of their skin in the winter.

Fox said that sun block should be used since the sun in winter can be as severe as the summer sun.

"People who ski have to be especially careful because snow reflects the sun which could cause skiers to get bad bums," Fox said.

Kristen Lane, sophomore, skies in the winter and said she wears many layers of clothes to keep warm along with a lot of Vaseline for her lips and face because her skin gets very dry.

Fox said human skin has a gland that secretes sebem, a liquid substance which keeps our skin moist. During the winter, this process is slowed down because our blood vessels contract in efforts to keep our body warm. This causes small amounts of blood to pass through our bodies and as a result creates dry skin.

According to Fox, it is important to use a moisturizer to keep skin from becoming dry. ''The price of the moisturizer doesn't matter, just as long as it has an oily base," Fox said.

Bill Luskawiecz, athletic trainer, said that it is important to stay warm during outdoor sporting activities in the winter.

"Layers are the key. Air gets trapped

between the layers so you stay warm," Luskawiecz said, adding that you could. remove some layers if you get hot.

Senior Chris Callinan runs during the winter and said he keeps himself warm by wearing a hat, gloves and layers of clothes. "It• s , not worth getting out of shape, so I run in the winter," Callinan said.

When coming in from the cold, Callinan said he stretches a little while taking long, hot showers. Callinan also said he puts a . moisturizer on his face. "My lips are always chapped during the winter," Callinan said.

Tara Williamson, junior, goes horseback riding in the winter and, like Callinan, uses a facial moisturizer at night. Williamson said she likes to take lukewarm baths instead of showers. "It's not good for the blood circulation to take real hot showers," Williamson said.

"Some days it is so cold that I put Vaseline on my face to keep in the warmth," Williamson said.

If your skin is already dry and you need some helpful hintstomakeithealthy, Garret Gallagher, former proprietor of Gallagher Pharmacy in Drexel Hill, said that the most helpful remedies to the skin are the old "Glycerin and ro~ewater have great nutrients and replenish the skin," Gallagher said.

According to Gallagher, the old fashioned remedies are natural with no chemicals and revitalize the skin.

"Eucerian cream is excellent to use today to help keep the skin healthy," Gallagher said. Some other good over-the-counter creams available are Vaseline Intensive Care and Lubriderm, along with many others, Gallagher said.

The Christmas season brings cheers and jeers to all Izel Jenkins- eight pounds of KeUers

bob healey sports editor Cheers and jeers Christmas is a time of giving; a time when we find Santa Claus in individual people. So in keeping with the Christmas spirit, I have decided to don the old reliable red suit and white beard in an effort to assist others in having a cool Yule. This year for Christmas I hope to give the following people a little something to make their lives happier.

PaulHolmgren-someone who can score and a healthy Ron Hextall.

Bobby Clarke- two front teeth.

Ed Snider- a stocking full of money for his new arena.

Bill Giles-someone who can pitch, hit or catch, preferably two out of three.

Veteram Stadium- a bath, a face lift, grass surface and one helluva disinfection.

Bobby Bonilla- a Phillies unifonn!

Von Hayes- a Montreal Expos uniform, just for spite.

Ricky Henderson- a head big enough to hold his ego.

Jim Fregosi- the '77 Phillies.

Larry Bowa- two more Hall of Fame votes.

Dave Dravecky- a red badge of courage.

Bo Jackson- a hobby to replace football.

TommyLasorda-thepatienceof a saint.

He now has to deal with both Strawberry and Davis.

CharlesBarkley- the basketball respect Magic and Larry earned.

Mark Jackson- a pacifier.

Fred Carter- a head coaching job, he deserves the shot.

CharlesShackleford- an attitude and a bit of courage.

Armon Gilliam- a complete part in his hair.

Mike Tyson- a woman who will not take advantage of him.

DonKing-- hair relaxer and a conscience.

Fran Dunphy-a 7'2" inner-city prop48 center.

Joe Paterno- a monument or a city named after him. How 'bout Joe, Pa.?

Miami University- a local police blotter in which no players names appear. It would be a first.

Bobby Knight- two valiums.

Bobby Hurley- a box of Pampers.

Tom O'Hora- five people willing to simultaneously run cross-country.

MikeCarafa- at least one healthy ankle.

Frank Sciolla- his old knee.

Dave Kerchner- see Hurley and Jackson above.

John Dzik- a multipurpose facility, but he'll settle for a pauper's budget.

Bill DiRita- four more years of eligibility.

Howard Eskin- Lou Holtz's pink slip.

Jody Mac---'one helluva bachelor party.

Bill Conlin- a little compassion.

Bill Lyon- a Pulitzer Prize.

Jim McMahon- a hair cut.

Mike Utley- a safe recovery and the prayers of a nation.

butter, he's toast.

Buddy Ryan- a job as the Eagles beat writer. Wouldn't that be something?

TrMa Ozzie Smith was just awarded his 12th Gold Glove which places him second on the all-time career list. Two players have collected 16 Gold Gloves, name them and their position.

Answer later.

Heaky's comment It's kind of like Hailey's Comet, however they come around more than once every 84 years.

Hero- ('he, ro) -- a) a man who is admired for hi~ acheivements and noble qualities. b) one that shows great courage.

Now can we honestly call Magic Johnson a hero? On the A'fsenio Hall show he discussed putting on our "caps." Now if that's not putting a bandaid on a person that needs open heart surgery, I don't know what is. If Johnson wants to be a hero, especially at Christmas time, maybe he should preach morality because, Lord knows, this country needs some.

Inside view The Cavalier basketball team is 2-3 this year. The sub .500 record is largely due to the lack of production from the front court players. Senior MikeMassari seems to be the only glimmer of light on a dark day.

Junior Frank ScioUa is still hampered by his knee operation and his 8-kabillion pound brace doesn't help matters. Junior Dave Kerchner still can't set a pick when running the "motion" offense and has to learn how to use his size and control his temper.

Sophomore Jamie Shaak has seen limited playing time, as has junior Dave Wissler.

Sophomore Dave Glover has all the athletic ability in the world but he seems lost on the floor.

On the bright side, junior Joe McGowan makes the most of his ability by getting in proper position for rebounds and setting the blue-collar pick that Kerchner needs to master. Sophomore Gus Naziridis is probably the biggest surprise of the young season.

In the backcourt, redshirt senior Mike Carrafa is still bothered by we~ ankles and when he has played he seems to be a step behind. Senior Jon Owens has yet to be able to display his open-court abilities and sophomore Brad Dever has been an excellent ball handler and he is quick as a cat on defense.

However, Bradley, brother, you gotta make the three-pointer when you're wide open.

Sophomore Dan Barracliff has played well when he has been able to find Sacred Heart on time and sophomore Kevin Marrazzo, with his shit-kickers and side bums, looking like something right out of "Hoosiers," has gotta be the most improved Cavalier.

On the G. Q. side of hoops assistant coach Robbie Rowe still wears the best duds this side of the Mississippi.

Trivia Answer Pitcher Jim Kaat and third baseman Brooks Robinson both have accumulated 16 Gold Glove awards during their illustrious careers.

Junior Amy Crossley, senior Kathy Murray, junior Cyndi Keane and the rest of the Lady Cays have struggled in the early going this year due to a wealth of early road games.

Lady Cavs off to slow start

by Tara Kegel staff writer At 6 a.m. on Cabrini's campus, the sun rises, the birds sing and the squirrels collect acorns. What you won't find is too many students awake. What you will find is the Lady Cavs sweating it out in the Sacred Heart Gym. Have you seen them? I doubt it. They practice from 6 -8 a.m. every Monday and Tuesday.

"Our schedules all conflicted. We set the time and everyone showed up," senior Shannon O'Donnell said.

What drives the Lady Cavs out of bed at dawn?

"Detennination," junior Cindy Keane replied.

The Lady Cavs started out their season on Nov. 23 and 24. Away at the Mansfield Tournament, the Lady Cavs were defeated 64-46 by Mansijeld University and 47-38 against Hoiy Family College.

After losing two non-conference games, the Lady Cavs bounced back against Marywood College. They won its first Eastern States Athletic Conference (ESAC) game on Nov. 25, defeating Marywood 64-63. Mary Kate.Fannon played exceptionally wen sinking eight three-pointers.

On Dec. 2, the Lady Cavs lost_its third

non-conference game to Delaware Valley College, 42-37. This brings its overall record to 1-3, 1-0 in the ESAC conference.

On Dec. 4, the Lady Cavs play its first home game against Notre Dame College at 7 p.m.

"We are a balanced team with a lot of ability," junior Amy Crossley said.

"We need to work on executing plays and rebounding, but we've got good outside shooting and a lot of dedication," Crossley said.

"We are a good looking team," Keane said.

"But we need more support," junior Adrianne Bruce added.

Just Around The Corner An old Vinny Scully adage is, like the one frog said to the other frog, "Time sure is fun when you're having flies." Even though the World Series just ended and winter has yet to officially arrive, spring training is just around the comer. Pitchers and catchers report in just, count 'em, 77 days.

Change Of Holiday This year, the Cabrini College basketball tournament was held over Thanksgiving break as opposed to Christmas. Athletic Director John Dzik said this was done because the Cavs will not be participating in the annual National Catholic Basketball Tournament in Dubuque, Iowa.

Next year however, Dzik plans to return the tournament to the Yuletide season and he has already signed a contract to have the Cavs return to the NCBT.

Gimmie Five Over the weekend, Coach John Dzik used nine different starters over the two games. Only sophomore Gus Naziridis started both games. Dzik said he started Naziridis in the second game and played him for over 22 minutes because he produced when given the opportunity against Beaver College.

Naziridis netted 21 points for the tournament and hauled in five rebounds. This is pretty good for a player who saw sparse playing time on the varsity level last year.

Dzik said he does not think he will have a steady starting five at all this year. He plans to use different combinations until people decide to rise to the occasion.

Bon Mot This week's good word comes from former Heismann trophy winner and current coach of the Florida Gators, Steve Spurrier.

Spurrier was caught telling Gator fans about a fire in an Auburn University football dorm in which 20 books were destroyed.

"But the real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet," Spurrier said.

Football Afterall Five years ago, the talk of Delaware County was where Ridley High School quarterback, Matt Blundin would attend college.

Just when it appeared certain that Blundin would sign a letter of intent to play for Joe Paterno at Penn State, Blundin shocked the community and accepted a basketball scholarship to Virginia University.

During his sophomore year, he started as forward on the Cavalier team that went to the Final Eight but now that his basketball eligibility has expired, he is concentrating on football.

Blundin currently owns the record for longest streak without an interception, 231, 224 of them this year. If Blundin gets drafted, teams have expressed interest, he could become to Delaware County what Steve Bono is to Montgomery County.

Rocket Explodes In Canada The Toronto Argonauts defeated the Calagary Stampeders 3621 for the C.F .L. Grey Cup trophy. The Argos were lead by its star all-purpose player Raghib Ismail. Ismail was awarded the MVP trophy following his 260-yard effort.

The Argos practically came back from the dead this year following the sale of the team to Bruce McNall, Wayne Gretzky and John Candy. "I like to call it the Lazarus syndrome," Candy said.
