Drivers encounter

Never too old to play in the snow

challenges on

_treacherousroads

Junior Cathy DeHart and senior Jacqui Ricci enjoy the campus' first snowfall on Saturday, Jan. 25. Replacing sleds with trash bags, the women slid down the hills along Residential Boulevard. Other students joined in and the early morning hour festivities continued until 3 a.m. Approximately 1-2 inches of snowfall hit the area by Sunday morning. Physical Plant had pathways and roadways salted and clearec{ by Sunday morning.

Auto mechanic Ray Santucci says the major driving problem in this area is rain. If it has not rained in a while the oil from the asphalt covers the road and vehicles hydroplane. When it snows "no one goes anywhere," Santucci said.

Robert Crawford, an employee for Radnor Police's traffic and safety department, said most roads around here are blacktop and the oil comes up from the blacktop makes them slippery. According to Crawford, people drive too fast for conditions and for the curves.

Crawford said speed should be reduced for the conditions in the weather and drivers should allow space in between cars, in order to allow cars room to stop. Crawford said it's also a good idea to tum on headlights in bad weather.

Eagle Road is a state maintained road, according to Crawford. They had asked the state for guard rails on the curve where senior Kelly Reed got into her accident, but instead the state gave them reflectors. The Eagle Road exit is a bad place for accidents according to Crawford, and most of the accidents happen in Cabrini's area.

Reed had an accident last semester on Eagle Road. Reed had left Cabrini at 10:30 p.m. at the

Pa.department passes Cabrini's education program for5 years

assistant perspectives editor In 1991, the Pennsylvania Department of Education passed Cabrini's education department for five more years. According to Dr. Dawn Middleton, chair of the education department, Cabrini did well in the audit because of the strong

field experience program.

Middleton said Cabrini has drawn many of its students because of the education department's rigorous field experience program.

Everyone on campus jokes about "cut and paste" majors, but credit wise, the education major's course load is one of the hardest at Cabrini.

In almost all divisions of Cabrini's education department the total cred-

its for major is 60 or above.

According to Cabrini College's undergraduate catalog, the school's teacher preparation programs are approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the PA State Board of Education and the National Association of School Direc

Eagle Road exit and was headed toward King of Prussia Road. Reed said there was a light drizzle and it was extremely foggy. She was unable to tum on her high beams because a car in the opposite lane was approaching. As she approached the bend in the road, a deer stepped out in front of her. Swerving to avoid it, she went off of the road.

According to Reed, her car lights did not pick up anything beyond the outer white line on the road. Reed said that if there were lights on the side of the road she might have seen the deer before it walked out.

Crawford also states that if a deer steps out in front of you it is better to hit the deeJ;.Jhan swerve if the roadway around is not clear.

Another problem Crawford sees that people have driving is that they are "creatures of habit." Sometimes people think they come to a full stop at stop signs, but in actuality they hit their brakes and keep going. Drivers also stop paying attention to what is going on around them which is another problem.

Lt. Robert Lanyon, of the Tredyffrin police force, said that most accidents on Upper Gulph Road happen at the intersection at King of Prussia Road. During bad weather conditions,most accidents happen at Fletcher and UpperGulph

Leadership: interest or persuasion

The Greatest Gift

I

Will it be the same old faces that pick up leadership position applications from student services? Everyone at Cabrini from the most experienced senior to the naive first-year student, even the administration knows who is interested in being a Medical Assistant, a Kappa pledge, an Orientation Counselor, a Resident Assistant, or a member of Student Government. Why are the same people always interested and the majority don't care?

What motivates people to be involved at Cabrini? Sure, a recommendation from Resident Life will look good on a resume, but the hassles which accompany the job often challenge the rewards that can be gained. Have the financial bonuses and guarantees of pretty resumes turned the leadership positions on campus into a business rather than a learning experience?

Cabrini College's mission is service. Do these leadership positions adequately serve the meaning of this campus? Granted the people that hold the positions are chosen because they display great interest in the positions.

But by reimbursing them for their services, are we exemplifying the college's mission?

The members of Cabrini's campus who choose not to be designated "student leaders" often have many other commitments. Perhaps some people don't have the time to spend on extra-curricular activities. Should athletes be expected to spend hours practicing and playing their sport and then retire to another eight hours working in the Student Government office? Or perhaps they feel they won't fit in.

On this campus you seem to see the same people that hold leadership positions hanging out together. Not that this is wrong, but if they are truly good leaders they should attempt to integrate themselves more with other members of the student body.

People who are members of organizations on campus deserve much of the credit that the leaders usually lap up. How many times will people put out an effort for which they receive no recognition? Often members of the campus cry favoritism when selections for leadership roles are made. Are we guilty of favoritism? Maybe not, but why do the same names always tum up on applications?

What students gain from these positions is not always tangible. It's hard for a 20-year-old to work for something he or she might not ever see the rewards from, but that's part of life. By being so involved now will they be burnt out when it comes to life after Cabrini. Will they still continue to be as involved with their local community, or is it just a part of their college life? · Does being a leader at Cabrini really prepare the leaders for life in the outside world? Cabrini is known for its family like atmosphere, that is more laid back than at a larger college or university. Is Cabrini really helping it's students to become leaders in society, or misguiding their expectations?

She seemed to be in a moist dark hole.

It was a place that was warm. She could get all the nourishment she needed and she felt safe being there.

She could do whatever she wanted to and occasionally she would give a kick or a punch to the walls around her because there wasn 'tmuch room to stretch.

One day something began to give her a push. She tried to fight it, but she was being squeezed through this hole. The hole was awful small. But every time she felt herself being pushed, the hole became bigger.

She was getting tired. Just as she was about to let out a scream, the hole opened widely and a gust of cold air swarmed over her body. A bright light was shinning down at her. Her tiny body began to shiver. As she looked up she saw big ugly creatures wearing masks and hats that were a pale shade _of green.

Immediately she was taken by one of these creatures and the slime that she lived in for what seemed to be an eternity was being wiped off of her. Where is she? Why is she in this place? Who brought her here?

It started around nine months ago.

Elsie and Marty were going for a drive after the high school football game. It was only 9 p.m., and Elsie didn't have to be home until 11 p.m.

They drove up Mountain Road and parked behind that abandoned farm house that the Taylor family moved out of about six years ago. Marty shut the engine off, but he turned the key so that the radio would still play.

He put his arm around her shoulders and began to kiss her. She responded, but her body felt very stiff to him. He asked her if she was sure she wanted to do this and she responded that she did.

Elsie and Marty began to take the biggest step of their lives. This was the "first time" for the both of them. They were in love.

Just before they were going to have intercourse Elsie asked Marty if he had something to wear. He told her that he forgot to buy the condoms.

But he promised that everything would be alright. He told her he knew what he was doing.

She trusted him and let him proceed.

Two months later Elsie still had not gotten her period. She was scared so she went to Planned Parenthood to be tested

for pregnancy. The result was positive.

Elsie told Marty the news. He immediately told her to get an abortion. She came from a strict Catholic family and did not believe in abortion. She told him no.

The next day Marty would not speak to her. He would not let anything interfere with him going to college. He would be the first one in his family to go.

Elsie grieved over the fact that now she would not be able to go to college; but she would not get an abortion.

She told her family. They told her she could not keep the baby. They could not afford another child.

Elsie was alone and pregnant.

After the nurse was finished cleaning up the healthy newborn baby girl she immediately took her out of her birth mother's sight. Elsie never saw what her daughter looked like. She never touched her or heard her cry.

Four days after the birth of the baby she was placed in the arms of a woman she did not know. A woman that would love her and ~are of her for the rest of her life.

The woman called her Elizabeth. And someday, Elizabeth would call this woman Mother.

The shift of power sits uneasily with Bren. "Who is Yeltsin?" Bren says he wasn't a big political figure yet the summercoupwasdefeatedbyhim. Because he won, Yeltsin got all the power.

Bren is concerned about the socio-political struggles that will now occur. The KGB is still a force to be recognized.

Insight to Loquitur's Perspectives pdge viewpoint editorial The editorial should be the conscience of the school. It's purpose is not to tell the reader what to think rather it is meant to tell the reader what to think about.

The journalism jargon for this is called agenda setting.

We at Loquitur, in our editorials, are not trying to. force our opinion on anyone but we are trying to make everyone aware of pertinent issues.

Some times the editorial board may appear high and mighty about the topic at hand. Sometimes we ask too many questions or offer unpopular solutions.

The board consists of approximately 20 editors and assistant editors who banter back and forth at weekly meetings.

The editorial writers weave everything said at the meetings into complete sentences with the approval of the entire board.

Just a thought

...

Is exactly what it's called.

We try to address something last minute or we want to bring an issue to everyone's attention but we don't have that much to say about it.

cartoon Most collegiate newspapers employ an outside company to supply them with cartoons. This year we have been fortunate enough to have cartoonists who are students: Alicia Crego, a transfer from the Tyler school of art, and Joe Opeila, a sophomore communications major.

Both Crego and Opeilla have and will do cartoons for Loquitur.

This allows the paper to have cartoons personalized for Cabrini.

The political cartoon has existed for many years and is meant as harmless satire. In the future we need to give more of an explanation to some of the cartoons because we've been told that some of the readers aren't getting them.

.'

Loquitur viewpoints are reserved exclusively for the editors of the paper. A viewpoint is ideally the personalization of an experience.

Viewpoints are intended to allow the reader an inside track into the minds of the editors.

Some may just see this as a few column inches for us to blow off some steam. Believe it or not, some people read the viewpoints faithfully gaining a personal insight about the editors.

guest columnist and opinions..., The beautiful thing about America is the freedom of expression and opinion. Therefore if you feel strongly about anything you are welcome to express those feelings on Loquitur's pages.

Opinions can correlate with topics Loquitur is addressing or something we could be completely missing. We only care that you have an intelligent opinion that you wish to express to the reading public.

There are no criteria for being a guest columnist, all you have to do is be willing to express those passions through the printed word. We will even help you formulate everything on paper.

If you desire to be a guest columnist for Loquitur please submit you work to the editor and it will be gladly be printed as long as space is available.

It is always easy to complain about issue in the world but it takes a brave person to take a definitive stance on a topic. Guest writers do just that.

letters A letter to the editor can be a reaction to something Loquitur prints or maybe something we are not printing. It offers an open forum to the entire campus.

Letters can be considered the readers' revenge but we dish it out so we can take it! And for those of you who were wondering - Loquitur did not pay Mr. and Mrs. Rudden of Long Island, N. Y. for the letter full of compliments printed last semester.

communities.

Bren said that in the Soviet Union people have an obligation to go to work but it becomes secondary when they have to wait in line for hours to buy food. "You have a tendency to think about yourstarving children and your stomach before going to work."

A friend of Bren's from Israel is going back to the former Soviet Socialist Republic fora visit. Bren is undecided about wanting to go back especially until he hears how his friend's visit goes.

InaLoquiturarticlelastyearBrensaid that Russia is like a black part of his life and that he spent the first 18 years of his life for nothing in Russia. Today he says, "It was a good experience for how you don't have to live."

Cabrini theater proves more beneficial than summer stock To the editor:

Thank you all again for the marvelous experience I had working on "Who Am I This Time."

When I first took the role, I saw it as merely something to do to fill the void left in my schedule by not making the Philadelphia area theater auditions this summer. I now consider myself extremely fortunate that I did not make those auditions. Had I, I would more than likely have been cast in some not very challenging supporting role and would have had to endure the sometimes nervewracking pressures imposed by the "professional" theater. Accepting the role of Harry allowed me to test my acting ability on a leading character truly alien from myself and to work on it in a more nurturing environment. Also, it gave me the chance to work with a thoroughly charming and tremendously talented group of people. I have not worked with actors and actresses whose company I have enjoyed more.

And thank you again Missy for your courage, selfless devotion, sweetness and humor. An actor could never be more fortunate than to have a leading lady of your ability.

Good Iuck to all of you on future prod uctions. I do hope I see you again sometime.

And please call me if you need anything smashed or broken. I've gotten good at it.

We use paper plates at home now.

Sincerely, Larry Bartkus Guest Artist

Male bonding: the myth dispelled

by Belinda Desher

assistant copy editor "Men don't cry." "Men do not show true emotions in the company of others." "Men must be strong and aggresive."These may seem like typical stereotypes for men but how often do men supress emotions to live up to the stereotype?

In answer to the growing problems and uncertainties of this question, the men's ~ovement was born.

The men's movement is a social movement based on the changing attitudes of men trying to understand themselves and their emotions while interacting with other men and women.

"Men are sick of the stereotype-

by no means the spokesman but added, "Some of it's goofy and some of it's helpful and funny, but it's not harmful to anyone."

It's not women bashing and it's not designed to alienate women," Poli er said.

RobertBlywasoneofthepoineers of the men's movement. Bly, poet and storyteller, created "Iron John" based on stories and legends in order to illustrate a man's rite of passage.

His book explains that "an ancient 'hairy man'-Iron John-becomes a mentor to a young boy, and each event or adventure is regarded as a

- John Polier,addictiontherapistfrom Elverson, Pa. 'men don't have any feelings,' while open expression of vulnerable feelings is constructed as homosexuality," John Polier, addiction therapist from Elverson, Pa. said.

Polier has participated in a "wild man weekend" in Austin. Texas which he defines as a bunch of guys getting together in the woods and openning up.

The cost of these weekends is fairly expensive. However, the financial burden is the only obstacle to overcome.

There is no method of screening individuals before they attend the outdoor experience. Polier admitted that this had its pros and cons because you never can tell what types of people you may encounter.

"Some men wouldn't know a feeling if they tripped over it. They prefer to beat the shit out of one another instead of expressing an emotion," Polier said.

Po lier has a healthy outlook on the men's movement, which he says he is

stage in male growth."

A book entitled "Fire In the John"

by Alfred Gingold was published in 1991 as a parody to "Iron John."

According to Dr. Arthur Young.

English professor, Robert Bly' s ideas help men to understand what it means to be a man rather than what they are told a man should be. '"Men can enjoy being male without falling into the stereotypes. They can sing the song of manhood," Young said.

Contemporary men do not always undergo ceremonial or traditional transitions into manhood. "The PostIndustrial society has destroyed the quality time between a father and a son, " Potier said. Polier explained that the relationship between a father and a son is the core of the men's movement.

"The men's movement bridges the emotional distance between a father and a son," Potier said. "Now that we have latch-key kids, fathers don't have time to teach their sons

values and pass on their knowledge."

"I think the men's movement is trying to give men the ritual experiences they miss by not having some sort of initiation," Dan Schwartz, Director of the counseling center said.

"History, myths and legends can be utilized to focus on man's role in today's society."

Schwartz is currently organizing a men's support group at Cabrini.

Rich Talone, certified muscle therapist, has participated in co-ed outdoor activities and workshops that focus on challanging oneself.

"I believe it is the Mongols who have a tradition that when a son reaches a certain age he fights his father (not to thedeath)to see who will win,"Talone said. "There's a time when a man has to become a man and come out from under his father's domination."

Men's center's sponsor activities that help men interact with other men and women.

The Men's Resource Center in Wayne is a non-profit group that advertises psychotheraputic and supportive services available for men. It conducts seminars and workshops on men's issues including "intimacy training, sexuality, separation and divorce, leadership training and outdoor adventures." Their purpose is to help men express there goals and desires, fantasies and fears.

The center offers them assistance to handle problems with relationships among family, friends and lovers.

"What is it?" was the most general response received when many of the males on campus were asked their opinion of the men's movement.

When they were asked if they would participate in an activity similar to a male support group the response was generally negative. Many replies were similar to the ideas expressed by Dan Trotter, sophomore; "I don't have to prove anything to myself or anyone else. I know what my true feelings are."

The men's movement has been confronted with similar criticism that fellow movements faced in the past including the woman's movement and the development of alcoholics anonymous.

Junk food maniacs

by Patricia Daley assistant n ews editor Did you know that potato chips have approximately 140 calories per each one ounce serving? Or that oreo cookies contain 50 calories in each cookie? Almost everywhere, at the movies, sporting event, or watching television, people are eating junk food without worrying about its nutritional value.

The term "junk food" could be defined as something different for everyone. If you were to ask a small child what it meant, the response you receive could be anything from "vegetables" to "the stuff Mommy throws away after supper." From a parent's point of view, junk food might refer to the sweets and snacks that children seem to love so much.

"Cookies, cake, soda and candy. My kids love to eat all that kind of food," one mother said.

Because of the cholesterol or caloric intake, some parents choose to regulate the amount of junk food their children consume during the day. "My mom lets us have one snack after dinner. Mostly it's fruit," 9-year-old Stephanie Hanover said.

The Hannon family does not regulate the amount of

snacks they eat. This family consists of three little boys, all r.,, under the age of 10. lllll "Mom has to buy new stuff every week," Daniel Hannon, 9, said. What does his mother think of this?

"I've got three energetic little boys. They eat all those snacks, but they bum it off when they play," Lesley Hannon said.

Eating sweets gives you quick energy. With large amounts of sugar, the burst of energy is just that, quick and hard. This sudden burst usually leaves you very tired after it has worn off. People eat for reasons rather than just hunger. They may just enjoy eating.

According to the "Bland Diet" brochure, which is published by Seiler's food service, junk food should not be cut from your diet, but you should reduce certain foods. You should feel free to eat the types of food you enjoy, but you should be able to control the quantities. In a bland diet typical desserts include cake, cookies, ice cream, pudding, etc. The biggest fear with eating junk foods is the amount of fat and cholesterol which is contained in your favorite munchies. photo by Sue Roux If you remain young at heart, then you may agree withone Seniors Colleen Brennan and Jennifer Banner are little boys' answer to what junk food is: "It's the good stuff feasting on the typical diet of junkfood junkies. that mommy doesn't like me to eat."

Sentor teaches patience and tolerance

by Steve Mu"ay assistant features editor Every Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m. he tries to give something back to the educational system. For two and one-half hours, Julian Senter tries to teach his African-American history class "patience and tolerance."

Part of the problem in the world today is people taking and not replenishing what they have taken. Senter said he is a man who uses teaching as a way to give something back to society. His goal is to teach a thousand students in hopes that at least one will follow in his footsteps.

The history teacher, whose dress style could make any of the most vogue fashion magazines, has an impressive history him-

'An understanding of roots of discrimination and prejudice, of the politics and economics of slavery, of the civil rights movement are necessary for all liberally educated persons.'

- Dr. M. Antoinette Schiesler self. Senter said he is a man who enjoys learning. This tall man, who is just starting to gray, has spent twenty years of his life as a student.

This southern gentleman is currently a consultant in computer and information systems. This profession follows Senter's previous experiences as an attorney, a computer system analyst, and a computer programmer.

That's only to name a slice of Senter' s background.

Being adjunct faculty is nothing new for this seemingly soft-spoken individual. He has lectured on his various specialities at

Villanova and Temple.

Senter graduated from Kentucky State University, in 1971, with a degree in History and Political Science. In 1976, Senter went on to get his masters degree in United States History, with an emphasis on constitutional history.

Senter grew up in Nashville, Tennessee during the civil rights movement. He, like many of the African Americans in the South at this time, went to segregated schools. "I didn't have the experience of a white teacher until I got to college," Senter said.

In a time when the country is still fighting the problem of racism , Senter said, "I hope the students who leave this class will learn patience and tolerance." He said he feels that patience and tolerance are the keys to creating harmony between people of different ethnic background. Senter uses education to instill the precious keys patience and tolerance.

Senter said that by learning the past of the African American people, his students will be better able to understand where the African Americans of today came from and where they are heading.

According Dr M. Antoinette Schiesler, academic dean, the African-American history course was offered three years ago.

Schiesler said the course had numerous benefits to all students, regardless of racial backgrounQ. "An understanding of roots of discrimination and prejudice, of the politics and economics of slavery, of the civil rights move- "' . ment are necessary for all liberally educateo ¾ ! persons," Schlesier wrote.

Dr. Jolyon Girard, history/political science department chair, agreed with Schiesler pho1oby Judi Panasik.printed by Sue Roux on the benefits of the course to all students.

"The interweaving of the African-AmeriJulian Senter, who is currently teaching African-American history, was a guest of can history with the United States history is WYBF's Phone-in Forum on Martin Luther King, Jr. 's birthday. so significant," Girard said, "that it demands its own individual study." Girard said by taking the course the student would be able to understand our society better.

Student takes a stand on pizza delivery service · an opinion by Lindo Sabatini guest writer Here at Cabrini College when students get hungry at n1ght most of us might order some delivered food hoping for quick, cheap and good service.

California Pizza is probably called the most by students even though their service is not really all that good.

In Xavier Hall several people have been having problems with California's delivery men and management.

For example, at 11 :30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 27, I ordered a pizza with extra cheese and they told me it would be there in 30 minutes or less. When I received the pizza all of the cheese had run off the pie and was all over the box.

I then called the manager and told him what happened and automatically he took me as a prank and as a little kid goofing around.

Well after arguing with him for 10 minutes they sent me another pie just like the first, mangled.

I called him back to tell him we still did not get our pizza in an edible form and he again started criticizing me and other Cabrini students.

This all ended with him driving over to Cabrini at 2 a.m. with one of his employees, not to apologize but to continue to verbally assault me.

When I am hungry and I want to

order a pie I know I will never have the desire to deal with California Pizza again.

Think about it, is it really worth it?

There are other delivery services out there that would value our business.

Student's love could turn into possible ski club

by Patricia Daley

assistant news editor

On Friday, Jan. 3, 1992, a charter bus loaded with 49 skiiers checked into the Friar Tuck Inn. They arrived in Hunter Mountain, NY, "the snow making capital of the world," after five and a half hours of driving. The skiers were ready to start their weekend.

The purpose of the trip was to see who, from Cabrini, would be interested in joining a ski club. Of the group in attendance, 25 were Cabrini students.

One of those students was sophomore Ed Moore. Moore has tried for two years to organize a ski club, and this trip, which he planned, will hopefully spark interest.

"Ed is a leader," Jennifer Marks-Gold, director of student activities, said.

Moore began proving this on Sept.

26, 1991 at the annual activities fair.

Moore was able to collect between 20-25 signatures of people who were interested in going on a ski trip.

As the president of his high school ski dub, Moore hoped to continue the club in col-

lege.

"This year, I wrote up a constitution and gave it to Jennifer (Marks-Gold)," Moore said of his second try to begin the club.

The plans began to be made.

Through Worldwide Travel, located in Malvern, Moore chose a weekend in which a ski trip could occur, and a tour guide would be available.

The fee for this three day trip was $135.

For three months, Moore juggled 16.5 credits, two jobs, and any available time planning one weekend.

The project was all Moore's. MarksGoldaskedonly to be kept up on

present plans, so she could refer interested students to Moore.

The search for skiers began. Flyers approved by student services were posted around-school.

Forty-five people were needed to receive the discount price, but each time the number was approached, people would cancel. "[t was a lot of stress," Moore said.

Money had to be collected, skiiers had to be found, and plans had to be arranged.

All the hard work payed off, though. The weekend was a success.

Nobody was injured, and for the most part, weather was good.

It rained only one day, but when ice did not fonn, it was time to hit the slopes once again.

"The lines for the lifts were shorter because of it. But skiing was still good,"

Moore said of the rain.

The purpose of the trip was to help Moore find interested skiers.

Though it seems unlikely that Moore will start the club this year, he will continue to work to start one next year.

Moore hopes to plan some day trips in the future, with the help of Jim Foti, junior transfer-student.

Moore was also asked to help plan a senior class trip.

The hopes and plans for a successful club continue to stay in the mind of Moore, but he needs help to make it enjoyable for everyone involved.

If you would like more information on the ski club or the day trips, you can contact Ed Moore at home, 353-1897, or through campus mail, Box 627.

Journalisttalksto studentsabout media bias

by Patricia Daley assistant news editor

"I have a bias: I have an opinion," Aaron Friewald freely admitted in his talk to students in the Widener Center Lecture Hall.

Friewald was a reporter for the "Legal Times" during the BushQuayle campaign in 1988. On Monday, Dec. 19, 1988, the most controversial article written by Friewald was printed on the front page. The article centered around inmate Brett Kimberlin and his claim that he sold Dan Quayle marijuane in colleg in the 1970s.

After his claom was released, Kimberlin was put in solitary confinement.

Today, Friewald does not regret doing that article. Friewald broke the story a day before many other newspapers. On Dec. 20, 1988, other articles, which did not contain as many details, were in print.

Friewald also appeared on many radio talk shows to tell his part in the story,

AaronFriewaldattendedColumbia College, the undergraduate sector of Columbia University, in NY. There he was editor in chief for his college paper. He even admits to smoking marijuana. "It was the 70s, everybody did it," he told his listeners during a questio-answer time at the end of his speech for communications majors on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 1992. After graduation, Friewald began writing for the "Legal Times," a paper based in Washington, DC. Friewald doesn't write for the "Legal Times" anymore, except as a freelance reporter. A follow-up to his story concerning Vice President Quayle will be printed.

Friewald now spends most of his time working on a book, which is due out in Spring, 1993. His book is about a man on trial in Germany for alleged crimes he committed as a Nazi leader in Poland. It is not yet titled. Friewald warns that the book may be biased because of the fact that he is Jewish, but it will be a learning tool for others, as well as himself. Friewald, who is married,

has had to travel to Germany, Argentina, and Poland to do research on the novel.

One of the main words out of Friewald's speech was "biased."

As journalism one students, a writer learns that you can not be biased, there are two sides to every story.

"We have an obligation to be fair," Friewald said. He then proceeded to comment that in every story, a reporter is biased. It is not done on purpose, but everybody has their own opinion and it will come out in their writing. "It's one thing to have bias and it's another thing to be unfair."

Friewald's final words were directed towards journalism students of today, as well as future ones.

They were words of encouragement to keep eyes open and to let fairness play a part in each story.

Each reporter must maintain a committment to fairness, which always overrides bias. "Writers art: not robots," Friewald said, each one is different. Friewald also encouraged consumers of the media to be aware of their own biases as well.

Aaron Friewald, free lance journalist and guest lecturer, spoke to the English/communications department on Tuesday, Jan. 28.

After his book is completed, Friewald is unsure of what he will be doing. Writing will always play a play in his life. "I've always wanted to write, maybe television,"

Friewald said. He quickly dismissed this idea, though, when he realized you can see your hard work in print, but not on television, "unless you tape it."

Female security guards now on campus

By Brendan Noone assistant sports editor

Richard KraUe, director of security and safety, fulfilled his first semester promise by installing two female offic-

Kralle said that this move will better the communication between students and

security. This statement rang true in the halls of Woodcrest and the Mansion, as McDonald and Fester add a female perspective on security for the women dormitories.

"I feel more comfortable with a female security guard," Meredith Hinkle, first-year student and Woodcrest resident, said. "I can better relate to her."

"It's what the Woodcrest girls wanted," Phil Murphy, a security guard employed by the college for two and a half years, said.

"It's a good deal to have women in the dorms."

On Jan. 8, 1992, McDonald secured the doors of Woodcrest for the first time. The Rosemont College graduate was scheduled to work here at the college in the fall but she received a job as a case manager for a federal half-way house.

"I'm very happy with my decision of working here in the spring," McDonald said. "It's (Cabrini) the best job I've had so far."

According to McDonald she feels very comfortable with the women she associates with at Woodcrest. "The girls are great.

They can relate to me, considering I'm young.

Everyone is really helpful and

On Friday, Jan. 31, the Security and Safety Department will start monthly mandatory meetings. During this time McDonald and Fester will find out more about the upcoming months and their duties at the college.

The students opinion about the new security guards has not changed. The general view of students is the bottom line of protection and security.

Amy Wechsler, sophomore and W oodcrest resident, said, "It really does not matter to me who is securing the campus, as long as someone is there."

Kristi Pastino, sophomore and W oodcrest resident, said it did not make a difference to her as long as she was protected.

The female guards are working part-time as of now. McDonald and Fester decided to split their 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. shifts between

According to Lanyon, drivers should use brakes sparingly in bad weather conditions.

By slamming the brakes they lock up along with the steering, enabling you to lose control of your car. Lanyon also said that Tredyffrin does an accident analysis but Gulph Road in the Cabrini area does not make the top five of accident roads.

Drivers should use brakes sparingly in bad weather conditions. Slamming the brakes locks them, along with the steering, enabling you to lose control of your car.

-Lt. Robert Lanyon, Tredyfferin police force Santucci said the roads around Cabrini are winding, as well as being all hills and not well lit. The major problem he sees is drinking and driving. Santucci said that one drink is all it takes to slow down reaction time which could causes accidents. Santucci' s advice is to drive defensively and not trust that the other person is driving cautiously.

Sharlene Sephton, also a senior, had an accident on the way back from Thanksgiving break on Weadley Road. According to -Sephton,it had been raining all day and it was very foggy. As she was driving on Weadley, Sephton felt her car swerve so she slowed down. Going around the next curve her car fish-tailed. As it swung around, it hit a telephone pole and the damage to her car put it out of commission.

According to Sephton, the police told her that happens on that same curve with those conditions, and that last year someone died on that same curve.

G-G-Goodie'sgot it HelenGoodwin doesnotteach gymclass, shelivesit

by Megan Flanigan

staff writer Kim Clegg, Helen Goodwin's daughter, said, "She is a wonderful mother who's fun but can be crazy." Clegg said," Often times my children, say she is not a normal grandmother."

Goodwin, assistant professor of physical education, has developed quite a respectable reputation for herself at Cabrini and has touched the lives of many, including those who have been part of the campus community for 30 years.

Goodwin said, "I have stayed here for many years because of the wonderful kids." Goodwin also said she likes it here especially for the size of the college. Attending Penn State University, Goodwin said she found it hard to get to know a lot of people because the university was too big. Cabrini is a smaller college allowing her to get to know the students and staff personally, Goodwin said.

"I will know everyone's name this year within five weeks."

Senior Karen Boyle said, "Goodie is excellent." According to Boyle, Goodwin motivates the students and keeps them going. In high school Boyle said the gym teachers gave them a soccerball and told them to go kick it. Goodwin is not like that. She is more personal and gets involved, often playing in the volleyball games with them. Boyle said she had heard her sophomore year that Goodwin was retiring and hoped it would not hap-

'Goodie is a buddy of mine and I wish she'd stay until I leave and tell her when it's time to go.'

-Jolyon Girard pen until after she graduated.

Junior Matt Forman said Goodwin tries to make the gym classes fun and she is the kind of person who is fun to be around and joke with.

Sports, fun and games have been a big part of Goodwin's life aside from her job, family and friends for a long time. She said she played field hockey for one year inter-collegiately at Lock Haven University. "They didn't have sports back in the olden days for women at Penn, so I played intercollegiately," Goodwin said.

Goodwin said she was the athletic director for the women's sports until 1987 and coached the basketball team for 19 years and the volleyball team for seven years at Cabrini.

Clegg said she can remember her mother bringing home the basketball team and having them sleep over. She still keeps in touch with the graduated students. Some are her best friends, especially the students that graduated in the years 1968 and 1969. "My mother accepts the kids no matter what they look like as.long as they are nice," Clegg said.

Goodwin said she liked being the athletic director, but she likes the job she has teaching gym classes because it allows for more recreation. According to Goodwin she likes to play sports and games for fun

Peace. Helen Goodwin has more spunk than students half her age and exudes her personality daily in gym class. and not competitively.

"I like to watch competitive sports on television though," Goodwin said.

Clegg said her mother's new thing is to watch the sports on her new television set with remote control, along with two other televisions on at the same time. "The shows she watches are always all sports."

In many of the gym classes you will see Goodwin participating and strutting her stuff with enthusiasm and a smile.

Goodwin said she plays in the classes because it is fun. You will see her playing just about any sport but softball. Goodwin said she is not crazy about softball.

Goodwin said she loves to play tennis and said she plays on a team in West Chester on Fridays. Goodwin said she also loves to play bridge.

Dr. Jolyon Girard, history professor, said, "1 played cards with Goodie for a decade and a half." Girard said Goodie is very competitive. "She has played some hot and heavy card games in her day."

Girard and Goodie would play cards for many hours after classes and students knew where we were if they needed us for anything, Girard said.

"Goodie's office looked like the inside of a goat's stomach," Girard said. According to Girard, you could have found anything from pizza to anything new or old in Goodie's office.

Girard said Goodie is the kind of teacher students come back to visit and visit fondly.

"Goodie is a buddy of mine and I wish she'd stay until I leave and tell her when it's time to go."

Working at one place for so many years, one might wonder if Goodwin has any plans of retiring. "Oh surely."

Goodwin said. She said she plans on retiring atthe end of 1993. "It's not written in stone, but it's what I think," Goodwin said. When the decision is finally made I want to sleep until I want to get up and never set an alarm clock again."

Traveling is another love of Goodwin's and is something she would also like to do when she retires. "I'd like to go to Australia, but I would have to win the lottery first," she said.

A Cabrini mascot?

by Christopher McMahon

staff writer Team mascots are an important aspect of college athletic experience. Rosemont College has the "Rosemonster," St. Joseph's University has "The Hawk" and Eastern College has "The Eagle."

All of these teams, regardless of how successful they are, have that added spirit only a mascot can provide. Those that do not have a mascot make up for that in the area of mystique.

The Shenandoah Hornets is an example of such a team. The mascot is not visible but the pomp and circumstance surrounding the athletic program is staggering.

The issue has been probed in the past with no real solution to the problem. Why doesn't Cabrini College have a team mascot? There have been attempts in the past to secure a costume and a student to represent Cabrini but it has always come apart at the seams somewhere along the line.

One problem that has arisen is the concept of the Cavalier. For Parents Weekend the parents committee gathered enough money to rent a costume but many closely involved to the issue are reluctant to go with the idea of a person dressed in a "musketeer" costume.

Director of Development Mary Ellen Herzog said, "I think the idea of a mascot is important to everyone. The problem is finding the most acceptable representative."

Herzog felt that it was important for the students to decide on the type of mascot desired. "We do not want to make that decision with the possibility of having the students dislike our choice. That is why I think it is important for the students to become involved and make the decisions," she said.

At one point last year there were funds available to purchase a costume but they were retracted. "It was unfortunate but these things happen," Athletic Director John Dzik said.

"I think that it's the atheletic department responsibility. I would like to pay for it but the department has other financial priorities," Dzik said.

According to Dzik, Cabrini used to have a mascot back in the early '80s. That was then this is now. A few students have worked very hard to bring back the mascot.

Christina Rudden, vice president of Kappa Sigma Omega met with both the parents committee and the alumni committee to find a solution and met with the same problems.

The money would be available in the future but a plan must be improvised.

Figures have been discussed and the estimated cost for a costume Dzik had designed would be approximately $600. The design is similar to that of the Duke Blue Devil, an over-sized head-piece with a nonnally proportioned body.

Influential people on campus seem to be

First-year student Lindo Sabatini is the unofficial Cabrini mascot. ready to help, yet the problem is with the lack of student interest. Many feel that it can be done but organization "en masse" is the downfall.

Rudden said that she will tum her focus more directly to the issue of a school mascot after Cabrini ~pirit Day. Until then the Cabrini mascot will have to remain in limbo.

Or in Lindo?

First-year student Lindo Sabatini has unofficially become the ad hoc Cabrini mascot, not sanctioned by the athletic department.

Sabatini made his grand appearance during the Wilmington College game last week, however he left at half-time. "I was discouraged," Sabatini said about some verbal abuse he sustained, "but I should have stayed."

Sabatini was missing in action for the Salisbury State University game last Saturday because he had to go out of town.

Sabatini does plan to be present at the remainder of the Cavs games and said he will approach the cheerleaders about coordinating their acts.

"This school has no spirit," Sabatini said to justify his reasons for wearing a blue and white basketball over his head and walking around Sacred Heart Gym bare-chested with a blue and white "C" plastered on it.

She first played squash as a sport in college and did not like it. When she completed her doctorate Schwarze said she decided to play a little more. Now, Schwarze plays squash every day and sometimes more than once a day.

Schwarze and one of her partners Joyce Davenport, a professional squash player and manager of the squash club in Berwyn, recently won the National Senior Ladies Doubles tournament in Philadelphia for the seventh time in a row.

Squash is a fast moving game that involves a lot ofagility.

"It's a very good workout," Schwarze said. "It burns 600 calories an hour."

A squash game usually lasts from 40 minutes to an hour.

To win an entire game a player must win three out of five 15 point games. A point is scored on every rally.

Schwarze said there is also a lot of strategy to squash.

When she began to take lessons she said she realized squash is a game that a person must think about. "Until then," she said "I was losing to fat old ladies."

Schwarze enjoys playing squash for a combination of reasons. She said there is a physical high and excitement about a tournament that she can not get all the time.

"Squash is affordable," Schwarze said.

Schwarze said she also likes squash because it is harder than racquetball and easier than tennis. "I don't have to chase the ball," Schwarze said, "and I can practice by myself."

Because of the trial, the latest fight of the the century: between Tyson and heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield has been postponed once and possibly indefinitely. Even if Tyson were to fight Holyfield the match would not have the luster it would have had before Buster Douglas pulled a Rocky-for-a-day fight of his life.

It will be interesting to follow public reaction, especially on the heels of the Clarence Thomas/ Anita Hill hearings and the William Kennedy-Smith trial.

Some of the odds that were given were astonishing. How about 7 :5 odds that kickoff would be at exact! y 6: 18 p.m. EST, or the over/ under on the length of the game would be 3 hours, 35 minutes. The best is probably 1: 1,000 odds that the football would hit the indoor blimp camera.

Asvolleyball endssoftball begins

by MaryJane Inman assistant news editor With volleyball season heading for the championships and the softball league just forming, members of the Intramural Committee feel both satisfied and hopeful.

Volleyball play-offs will run from Feb. 17 to 20 with the championship game on the last day at l 0 p.m.

The league consists of two divisions, each comprised of four teams. Division A teams include Student Services, House Five, J.D. Buds and Mansion. The Larks, WYBF, Woodcrest Women and House Two make up Division B. Mark Mellor, executive vice president for SGA and member of the Intramural Committee, said that he has devised a cross-divisional play-off schedule which may result in two teams in the same division vying for the championship.

Mellor said that this plan is not an indication that one division is weaker than the other.

He said that he believes both divisions are equal and this schedule will actually give everyone a fair shot at the title.

According to Mellor, a crossdivisional play-off will give the No. 3 and 4 teams "a fighting chance at the big guys."

None of the teams are ranked at this point for the championships and Mellor said that at the end of the regular playing season, ranks will be established from each team's win-loss record.

Chris Conrad, junior, said that he is excited about the championships because he thinks that his team, WYBF, has a realistic shot at the title.

Conrad said that his philosophy on intramurals is, "if we 're playing just for fun, then why are we keeping score?"

Softball, the second leg of this year's intramural program, will

'If we're playingjust for fun, then why are we keepingscore?'

-juniorChrisConrad kick off around mid-March and last for seven to eight weeks.

There will be a minimum of six teams in the league and each team must have a minimum of nine players with a maximum of 13.

The co-ed rules for softball require that each team have at least three women on the roster, with

two on the field at all times, or if a team is predominantly female, the same regulations must be upheld for the amount of male members.

Mellor said that he modeled this co-ed formula after contacting other colleges and finding out about their intramural regulations.

According to Mellor, one of the major dilemmas expected for this upcoming season consists of the scheduling of the field.

Mellor said that intramurals must compete with the women's softball team as well as outside rentals for field time.

At present, the committee is sending out "feelers" to find out exactly what days and times will accommodate intramural players.

Only then, Mellor said, will he be able to work out some type of agreement with Athletic Director John Dzik.

The Intramural Committee consists of Mark Mellor, Tara Kegel, Scott Dorsey and the Executive SGA Social Activities Assistant (to be announced on Sunday Jan. 26).

This year marks the first time that Cabrini ever officially ran an intramural program, although students made attempts in the past, Mellor said. more INTRAMURELS,pg.11
