Bookstore 'gpe~ Students find more than a language barrier t'

by Judith A. Panasik

assistant perspectives editor Currently Cabrini's Spanish department has five part-time teachers. Helene C. Hennigan, chair of the language department and assistant professor in French, has become the adviser to the three Spanish majors.

Last year brought many changes with the departure oflrene Rachat, former full-time Spanish teacher, retiring in ~1ay. Dr. Cynthia Halpern, part-time Spanish teacher, departed later in the summer. This

left no advisor for the Spanish majors.

According to Rachat, she retired "99 percent sure" that the college would hire Halpern as their fulltime Spanish teacher. However, Halpern was not offered the position and instead moved on to another teaching job where she was hired full-time. Rachat also said that she would have never left the Spanish majors, or Hennigan, if she would have known no one was going to be hired full-time.

According to Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice president of academic affairs, the board of trustees was

concerned with the tenured faculty nearing 100 percent at Cabrini.

There are many factors that go into the decision of hiring a full-time person. There are decisions of providing tenure and financial situations to consider.

The board looked at all majors across the board, seeing which had the greatest need, whether it be need of faculty or money. The academic subcommittee and Biller updated academic plans looking at various plans, including language, and made

Inconvenience hinde_ring education and much more

fridav 1 feb. 14 1 1992

Returnto the discozone kim keck senior associate news editor

We all endure minor inconveniences in life. Some of us complain about them and others grin and bear it. The most annoying aspect of inconvenience is when it can be avioded. The closed bookstore, the inefficient language department, and lack of publicity for services that exist but are kept secret are annoyances to everyone at the college.

good company.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in community service. I know many people, including myself, who engage in community service without being forced by the college to do so.

I would be quite happy if the college would set up a system that would encourage community service. Many would say that the clubs and associations on campus that do good works already make up that type of system. Whatever means exist for community service, that service should always be voluntary.

I'm sure this policy was created with the best of intentions, but mandatory acts of altruism to pass a course are not really acts of altruism at all. We share more in common with the spirit of indentured servants past than with the spirit of Mother Cabrini when we are forced to serve. A curriculum promoting personal choice and responsibility would benefit the college and the world at large far more than mandatory community service.

Sincerely, Brian Marczyk Senior

Every Saturday afternoon was religiously dedicated to six hours of roller skating. I thought I was so cool-whizzing around the shiny wooden rink with my pink satin jacket, skates equipped with pink sparkle laces and matching stoppers. And my comb was always neatly arranged in the back pocket of my designer Jordache jeans.

For fashion's sake, I hope disco never comes back. Men decked in platform shoes and wide collars just doesn't do it for me.

Neither did the gym shorts which began where the knee-high striped socks ended.

I'm not looking forward to seeing the Gap restock corduroy jeans either.

Will fashion once again dictate that women should bounce around braless in tube tops and satin hotpants?

Only in this "me" decade could marljuana smoking devices, (aka roach clips) become a fashion statement. I was so naive, proudly dangling my multi-colored feathered roach clip from my beltloop. This fashion statement came to an immediate h.alt for me when my mother yanked off my roach clips for reaso~s she "couldn't explain at this time."

Even if the clothes weren't in the best taste, this was the deeade for movies. GradeC flicks like" Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," invaded movie theaters. And gave me nightmares about exploding tomatoes.

"Star Wars," brought the beginning of a galactic million-dollar legacy. Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker also successfully managed to jump start my heart into the next century.

This was the beginning to my endless list of superstar crushes.

Overall, disco wasn't that bad of an experience. There have been worse. Remember the aftermath of disco's short-lived reign, punk rock? History couldn't be so brutal as to repeat this tacky trend.

Recycling: economical or environmental

staff writer

Did you ever wonder what happens to your soda cans and crumpled office paper after you put them in the blue recycling cans? Recycling, an environmental issue, is slowly becoming an economic issue.

On Sept 26, 1990astaterecycling mandate was implementedat Cabrini.

Blue recycling cans were placed in . dormitories and throughout the college. Even before the blue cans appeared, there were small amounts of recycling going on. For years, physical plant recycled metal. Those were the days when money was given for the collection of recyclable material.

Now money is paid to recycle.

At present, Cabrini follows the Radnortownshiprecyclingordinances.

The mandate states: ■ Residents must recycle colored and clear glass, aluminum, steel, bimetal cans, plastic beverage containers, and paper.

■ Apartments are required to choose three items to recycle plus leaves.

■ Businesses must recycle four items.

Thestaterecyclinglaw,Act 101of 1988, requires municipalities with a population over 5,000 to recycles, under 5,000 does not Populations of 5,000 to 10,000 started recycling in 1991.Populationsover 10,000started recycling in 1990. Radnor township has a population of approximately 28,000, \\'.hichmeans it startedrecy cling in 1990. Each municipality had to choose a minimum of three items out of eight to recycle. Radnor recycles all eight.

Accordingto Dr.DawnMiddleton, chairof theeducationdepartment,they recommendedSpanish to education majors seeing it as a real benefit. According to Middleton, if the lack of a full-time Spanish professor is short term tile education division will be able to handle the loss. However if it is a long term problem they must look at it differently.

Junior Michelle Montgomery, Spanish and secondary education major,saidSpanishisbecoming more important. "Cabrini talks so much about cultural diversity, and how important it is for us to be aware of other peoples cultures. But how can we learn about other cultures when the department is lacking."

According to Hennigan, with no one full-time Spanish teacher the college will not draw anyone interested in the language. The education and Spanish departmentsalso need someone to help plan courses for education.

Hennigan said both departmentshope to install a new course for educators, dealing with the Spanish language.

'Joanna's Husband, David's Wife' gives insight into marriage

by Brendan Noone

assistant sports editor

Beginning with two and becoming one, love cannot be measured by time as it is timeless. Yet, at different intervals across the span of our lives, the endurance and strength of love is fiercely tested and often questioned.

The Walnut Street Studio Theatre opened its 1991-92 season with Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey's play' ,"Joanna's Husband, David's Wife." The modem day play examines the conflicts of today's marriages: money, success and the constant strive for happiness.

The drama begins at the end of happily ever after. David, a playwright whose talents are starting to pay off, wakes to find his wife, Joanna, gone. Joanna leaves her private journal for her beloved daughter, Juiia. The journal relives the past and controls the fate of the family's future. The words reveal the past 25 years of marriage and traveling in show business.

David, with the help of Joanna's words, goes back in time to days oflife in Dallas with their parents, in New York facing rejection, and in Hollywood, the beginning of the family's conflict.

The middle-aged David takes this journey through flashbacks ofremembrance. David lives the ups and downs of his life all over again through the eyes of his wife. He sees the way his wife played the role as "David's wife." David notices the transformation of the marriage and his wife, who is now independent and a writer herself.

Paul Linke (David) and Kendall Hailey (Joanna), are excellent as they lead the audience through time and the duration of the marriage. The two man/woman play runs smoothly and flawless, keeping the audience in tune to the actors and the plot. The studio's unique closed surroundings enhance the quality of the characters and the story.

Hailey's beauty and ability outshines the elder Linke, who at time seemed disoriented. Emotion is the key to Linke and it is what keeps him up to par and up to the standards of Hailey (who is the author's daughter).

A 15 minute intermission introduced the second half of the play, as David now has to cope with a successful wife, the

writer.

David also has to cope with being "Joanna's husband."

As success comes th(?way of Joanna, so does a family. The journal reveals to the audience and David about his children and a child which was never born.

Joanna kept this part of their life a secret to David. This was one of the most emotional aspects of the play. Linke handled this scene with compassion and credibility. He took the character to the highest level in his performance.

The comedy/drama continues as both characters Jives are gaining respect around the writing circle. Joanna's career is peaking in California, while David is making his name on Broadway. The long-distance marriage hits the rocky road hard when David's story of his daughter's life hits the big time on Broadway. At the same time, David and Joanna begin to question their life together.

Linke dominates the final scene as the journal's pages are running thin. During the night, cold and alone, he learns of Joanna's interpretation of their life as it is now stands. Even with the much desired goal of success finally reached, everything is "in shambles."

His wife is leaving and now he must learn to love again.

In its final pages, the journal reveals Joanna's plans to return to Dallas and regroup with her parents. The beck and call is love and the unexpected news of a son on the way. This is David's test oflife. The audience is left questioning what will happen to this couple? The answer is in the test of time.

"Joanna's Husband and David's Wife" is a wonderful reflection of life and love. It gives us a chance to let love live again and it teaches us at the same time, that love is constant and testing.

To have the chance to learn about love again, through experience and the eyes of someone else, should not be taken for granted. It is something that should be cherished as a gift.

People learn through the test of life that real love is the greatest gift of all.

"Joanna's Husband, David's Wife" will run through the weekend of February 14-16. Tickets are $13 and $15. Students with college I.D. pay $5 day of performance. For information, call (215) 574-3550.

more GRADS from 1 Senior Trish Lee will graduate with certificates in special and elementary education. Lee feels secure about her working future, "There's a good outlook for me because I have a double certification," Lee said.

According to 1991 Cabrini graduate Sharon Sheedy, she had no trouble getting a job in the field of early childhood education. "I was hired in late March or early April of my senior year for the upcoming school year."

"Last year I had typical senior worries, such as 'would I find a job,' 'where would I live,' etc. But I found a job early and I feel it's secure," Sheedy said.

Christine Cocchia, a Cabrini graduate of 1989, now works in the College's financial aid office as an aid counselor.

Cocchia graduated with a double major in English/communications and history but decided to abandon that field midway through her senior year.

"When I was interested in journalism, I knew there weren't many good paying job opportunities for beginners," Cocchia said.

"A publishing company I worked at before graduation offered me a job, but the salary was only $6.50 an hour. I can't work for that."

Salary and future opportunity are both important to Cocchia.

"What job would get me where I want to be in a few years and give me the opportunity to grow?" Cocchia asked herself.

When Cabrini offered her the job in financial aid and the opportunity to continue her education for free in the masters of education program, Cocchia accepted.

Cocchia wasn't forced into taking a low-paying position, she had other options.

'It doesn't matter what she earns, we'll kick in toward her keep.'

-Mrs. Boyle, senior Kare·n Boyle's mother Not all graduates are so lucky.

Professor of business administration Brian Metz feels bad for this year's graduates.

According to Metz "the job market is tougher than it's been," Metz said. "Finding jobs that will meet qualifications and expectations will bedifficult. The first job offered won't be what the job graduates want, but they've got to accept

what's there," Metz said.

Lee is ready for the job search and is adopting Metz's theory.

"I don't care about my salary, as long as I can get a job," Lee said.

According to Metz, when he graduated in 1970, graduates were expected on average to receive four job offers upon graduation.

"This year's graduates can't be promised that," Metz said. "Their dreams and aspirations will be achieved ip the long run."

However, like Iacono, not all seniors are worried. Even their parents aren't worried.

"I'm concerned, but not worried," Mrs. Boyle said, mother of senior Karen Boyle.

"College graduates will have to work as waitresses and cashiers till better things come along," Boyle said.

According to Boyle, her daughter can expect support from her. "It doesn't matter what she earns, we'll kick in toward her keep," Boyle said.

According to Rose Ann Iacono, she and her husband aren't concerned about job prospects. "Eventually things will work out," Iacono said. "Of course we will support Carlo. We know future aspects will be fine."

more VOLLEYBALL from 8 Joseph Orsatti, senior, said, "It's a shame we are not given the opportunity to make volleyball one of the men's sports on the campus. As far as a team goes, we have one of the most together squad, everyone on the team is very dedicated and into the game."

Orsatti joined volleyball last year. "This year everyone is working together, it is a team effort. We're all willing to learn an'd there are no pros on the team," Orsatti said.

"It's a Cinderella team in the making," John Latvenas, junior, said.

"This year the Net Heads, men volleyball players, are more of a team, everyone gets the chance to play."

"For practices, we arebasically last on the list f;r gym time. Dzik tries to fit us in about three times a week," Tucci said. We hav,e really late practices, 10 p.m. to midnight, sometimes even, 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Robert McCartney, first year student, has never really had the chance to play volleyball, except on the beach. "I think that we are very competitive. I would definitely like to

V

see this become a team. It would help the school spirit that is lacking here at Cabrini."

The Cavs' record stands at 4-~, 1-1 in the league. "We're do fairly well in the season, and hopefully we'll be able to make it to the playoffs," McCartney said.

Orsatti agrees, "We have already beaten teams that we lost to last year and I think we are going to do very well, because of the commitment we have from everyone who wants to play."

Latvenas sai<!,"I would love it if volleyball became a sport on campus. Next year we are going to try for it again."

"The athletic budget pays for our referee fees and league fees, but we all had to pay for our own uniforms," Tucci said.

"We are encouraged by the amount of people who show up to our games. It is great to know that there are people rooting out there for us," McCartney said.

"We have a great future ahead of us, because we 're a young team and we all work together," Latvenas said.

A weekend filled with Magic

by Matt Hodlofski

Ceballos, of the Phoenix Suns had a teammate put a blindfold around his head to cover his eyes. Whether he was able to see through his blindfold or not, it certainly was something different. And for that alone the unknown Ceballos deserved to win, not to mention that the closest competitor, Larry Johnson from the Charlotte Hornets, missed three straight dunks.

The caper of the weekend was the "Magic Johnson" game which featured a man who had already retired from the game because of contracting the HIV virus. Johnson was the 13th man on the Western squad, voted into a starting position from his fans around the nation.

If you were able to follow this story for the past weeks and months, many things have come out in the press about players not wanting him to play or players in support, all stemming from the virus. All Johnson wanted to do was play one last time with all his all-star friends and prove to himself and the world that having this virus does not have to stop anyone from leading full, productive lives.

Even a casual fan had to know the Wes tern players were going to give Johnson the ball as much as possible. It also had to be evident that no one on the Eastern squad was seriously going to stop him. But aside from all that, it still was a great story to see unfold. It was touching to see every player on the Eastern squad follow Isiah Thomas' lead and give Johnson a hug during the introductions. It was also great entertainment to see Thomas and then Michael Jordan clear the side and go one on one with Johnson to no avail. And to put the icing on the cake, dot the "i", and finish the story, Johnson hitting his usual extralong, off-balanced three pointer with Thomas in his face was great.

Whether or not Johnson continues his crusade to be a part of the Olympic team does not matter in the "big story of life."

What matters is that Johnson has helped the entire AIDS community with worldwide awareness and has proven that anything can be done as long as you believe in Magic.

guest columnist This past weekend the NBA had its annual All-Star events. Saturday featured the Legends game, the three-point shootout, and the slam-dunk contest. Sunday featured the most eventful component of all, the "Magic Johnson game."

The weekend went through fazes as the different events unfolded. The first event was the ever-boring Legends game, which is a euphemism for the "old-timers game." Whoever invented this game must not have realize these players retired from the game for a reason.

Former Denver Nuggets star David Thompson suffered a ruptured tendon in his right leg. Norm Nixon, the youngest Legend of all, from the early 1980s Los Angeles Laker fame, went down with a pulled quadricep. If you were lucky enough to see these athletes in their prime, wouldn't you like to remember them in their prime. I now have a tainted image of Jo Jo White and Calvin Murphy who were great players at one point but because of their participation in this game, I will remember them as old, out-ofshape men, trying to relive their younger years.

The next event was the three-point shoot-out contest. If you saw highlights from last year or even the year before, you have seen enough. Craig Hodges of the Chicago Bulls won the event for the third straight year. The highlights are the exact same, Craig Hodges hitting threes from the top of the key. The contest is entertaining for the pure basketball fan who appreciates a jumpshot Speaking of slams, the final event of the evening was the way-past-its-prime, slam dunk contest. Ever since Dominique "the human highlight film" Wilkins retired from the event and Michael Jordan decided he was bored with it, the event has been uneventful.

How many different ways can you thrust a ball through the twine? Well, I thought I had seen every different way to slam a basketball until the winner, Cedric

More Talk From Randall

sports editor

Randall Cunningham has been campaigning for the Eagles offense next year. He has already said he wants to "open up and scramble more."

He also has been making waves to get the Eagles to sign Eric Dickerson, the disgruntled Colts runningback. Cunningham claims that he and Dickerson are friends and that Dickerson would be an excellent addition to the team.

There is only one problem. If the Eagles sign Dickerson and have Cunningham they'll have to build a new arena. Why? Because the Vet is not big enough to bold both of their egos.

Seniors Boxing Larry Holmes, 42, defeated Ray Mercer last weekend in a 12round decision. Holmes is the third oldest ex-champion and he claims he will once again be champion. If Holmes and George Foreman (the second oldest ex-champion) were to fight it woulci be the fight of the century, 15 years too late.

Doesn't Matter Who Won The final score of the All-Star game was 153-113,howeverthe clock didn't wind all the way to 0:00. Who won? It doesn't matter when you bet the over/under. Hell, most people don't even care.

The over/under for the game was 270, the final cumulative score was 176. Raises a few eyebrows doesn't it.

A Magical Day In his farewell to the world game Magic Johmon was crowned the MVP of the AU-Star game. His career ended in Hollywood fashion as he scored 25 points, dished out nine assists and, as usual, had a perpetual smile smacked on his face.

Only in America could this happen and hopefully he'll be allowed to represent America in the Summer Olympics.

Aloha Baseball A new winter baseball league has been formed and will be located in Hawaii. The four-team league will play from late October through December. The teams will be located in Honolulu, Maui, Lahaina and Hilo.

The league will consist of young major league players and influx of Japanese players. Is this an omen for American/ Japanese baseball collaboration in the future?

Senior Jon Owens left his room in the Sullivan House, locked the door behind him and headed to the exit. The phone in his room rang a double ring, signifying an off-campus call. "I always ignore it figuring the person will leave a message," a subdued Owens said.

But something told him to turn back. He did. He unlocked the door and answered the phone. On the other end was his sister crying hysterically. "Something told me to pick it up," he said.

Jimmy Owens, 27, Jon's brother who has laid still in a coma for three years, had passed away.

Jon is second on the Cavs in dishing out assists, yet he has felt helpless the last three years, knowing his · brother's fate lay beyond his control.

The Cavs finish its pregame warm-ups and the players scramble off to the locker room.

Jon is always the last to leave the court.

"I was the last one to see him (before the coma)," Jon said, "we were working together."

Jimmy was found laying on the street and was brought to the hospital by the police. He had suffered a brain stem injury, which left him in a comatose state.

Because Jimmy had not been in recent contact with the family and was not carrying identification at the time, the police had no idea who he was. Mrs. Owens found out about the incident following repeated stories on the news. "My mom saw it and went crazy," Jon said.

Owens dribbles down the side of the court. Stops, looks for a passing outlet, all are cut off. He squares up,facing the basket and fires a three-point shot. The backspin on the ball glides it through the air, it slams through the net, touching not a bit of iron.

Jon played a lot of basketball with Jimmy, you know, pick up ball in Southwest Philly, the kind of ball that allows brothers to bond. But Jon played ball with Jimmy more than he did with any of his eight brothers.

He also has four sisters.

Jon Owens has never turned his back on his duties as captain t:Jf"thebasketball team, his duties as a Resident Assistant, or his duties as a brother.

"We had a bond," Jon said. "I always seemed to be with him."

Jon_stopped for a second, collected his thoughts as he reflected on the events that shook his family.

"We were close. We looked out for each other even though the family didn't always see it that way.

We talked a lot on the court, you know, just talked, about different things."

For the past three years Mrs. Owens has visited Jimmy in the nursing home. Every day. As regular as you and I brush our teeth and tie our shoes. Every day.

Jon feels the most pain because he saw how much the incident took out of his mother. "She took care of him and wasn't looking for anything out of it," Jon

It's a club! It's a team! No. It's men's volleyball.

Since 1985 men on the Cabrini campus have been trying to get volleyball approved as a team sport, but as of now they are playing their hardest and trying to bring more Cabrini spirit to the school.

Charles Tucci, senior captain, has been trying to get men's volleyball as a team for the past year. He explained how they did receive a grant for approximately $6,000, but they did not keep it because they had to keep the grant for three years.

John Dzik, athletic director, said he saw the gr.:.nt advertised in the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) News that would establish a mens varsity intercollegiate program, it was a grant for approxi:. mately $6,000. He took the information to Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student affairs, and they decided they would fill out the information and make the decision if the school is awarded the grant.

The athletic department was awarded the grant.

The grant was for one year as long as the team existed for two succeeding years. Sr. Eileen Currie, MSC rejected the grant because it was too much of a financial commitment for the following two years.
