Mansion closing initiates lottery revisions

by Dawn Timbario managing editor

The carved wood banisters. The vibrant, sprawling oriental carpet.

The picturesque window seat with the warm sunlight pouring through.

The atmosphere of the Mansion is both humbling as well as empowering at the same time. "Living here I can fantasize leading the life of a princess," junior Karen Kerchusky and Mansion resident said. "I might be poor in the future but now I'm living in a Mansion."

According to Kerchusky, the Mansion fits her personality and she couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

But Princess Karen will be forced to live among the commoners with the closing of her castle. After 35 years as a home to resident women, the Mansion is not an option for residency next semester. In addition, there are other changes in the resident life housing proposal this

year. Though the actual lottery process will remain the same, a shuffle in the male and female housing configuration will occur.

Effectiveforthe 1992-93 school term, men will be permitted to live in Xavier South, House 2 and House 7. The women will be allotted space in Xavier North, Woodcrest, House 1 and Houses 3 through 6.

The displaced residents are guaranteed a vote in the lottery according to their class rank and following those residents who squat their rooms.

In a meeting with Mansion residents on Monday, Feb. 24, the women were told the reasons behind the closing was due to a projected lull in enrollment figures and declining safety standards of the building. Director of Resident Life Catherine Caulfield said her staff was faced with the decision of whether to close one of the houses or close the Mansion. The houses

The Mansion will be closed next semester for the first time in 35 years as a residence hall.

Various changes have occured in the housing situation for both the men and Wl111'1en.

There will be five houses for women on Residential Boulevard and two for men, along with co-ed residency in Xavier Hall.

Study shows bias and inequalities that challenge women.~~

Holocaust survivors relive horrors of war

Holocaust survivors Kurt Kupferberg and his wife, Hardy Kupferberg, endured medical experimentation and other atrocities experienced by Jews during World War II. Both were placed in Ravensbrook and Dachau concentration camps. With them was Dr. Philip Rosen, director of the Holocaust Awareness Museum at Gratz College in Philadelphia. All three came to speak to the campus community on Tuesday, Feb. 25 in the Widener Center Lecture Hall. The two met after their release from the camps. Hardy lost all 87 members of her extended family who perished in the camps. She remained the lone survivor.

Women's suffrage. Civil rights.

Roe vs. Wade. Sexual harassment.

Through the twentieth century these issues have attracted nationwide attention that focuses on equality for women. A new study indicates that the heart of female inequality may be rooted in the classroom.

Recently the American Association of University Women (A.A.U.W.)reportedthatmalesand females receive an unequal education which greatly inhibits the academic achievements of the female population.

The study entitled "How Schools Shortchange Women," reports that teachers pay more attention to males, call on them more often and reprimand them less for speaking out in class.

According to their findings, the A.A.U.W. argues that girls, on the other hand, are severely disadvantaged in the educational system because they are not encouraged to pursue studies in math and science

and that many school textbooks present stereotypical images of female roles.

Faculty and student members of Cabrini's education department admit that they have witnessed this type of bias through their studies and field experience.

Dr. DawnE. Middleton, chairof the education department, said that the department realizes the possibility of this type of bias and has developed courses to address the problem.

The Social Studies and Minorities class, said Middleton, studies the relationships between males and

l'---e_d_ito_r_ia_J ____

In less than five minutes what they have worked towards fof _years could go without reward. The six hours a day of practice seven days a week will give them nothing more than the satisfaction of making it to the Olympic games. All it takes is less than one hundredth of a second or just one fall to bring their dreams to an end. But is all their work a waste?

They have gained something others can only dream of, focus and devotion.

But with this also comes the heartbreak and the agony of defeat.

At Cabrini we are having·our own type of Olympics, it's called leadership positions. We work all year to get to the point where we have proven ourselves worthy of attaining the positions of medical assistant, orientation counselor and resident assistant.

However unlike the athletes in the Olympics, the students at Cabrini are becoming more well-rounded through their experiences of attending a liberal arts college. It's our chance to prove ourselves.

We sit back and complain about all that we don't have time to do. We take naps, watch TV and on the weekends, party. But these athletes put all they have into training, not going to parties or complaining about there lack of time. Of course they may get the satisfaction of winning a medal or even the material gifts given to them for representing a product. However, all they do is their choice. But then again who would represent our country if they didn't?

During this time we should also treasure the peace that is evident in our country. Especially after the breakdown of the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They no longer have to prove their worth as a nation.

There were athletes in these games that did not have a country, anthem or even a flag. Yet, they still came to the Olympics to perform.

Some of the athletes have made out well and have turned their respective sports into careers. But others who devote just as much time are unable to go as far. Millions watch the Olympics for two weeks, it's in all the papers and magazines. We look forward to it but never think about the trials and tribulations these athletes go through. Such as Dan Jansen, who four years ago lost a sister and any chance of a medal. This year he had another disappointing year after being expected to win at least a gold or silver medal.

In the case of these athletes they risk everything for a once in a life time chance. Their dreams and goals are their focus for years. They put their lives on hold hoping that their dreams will be recognized in the few moments of glory.

Justa thought...

With spring break drawing near, drinking also enters the picture. During our week off some of us wil1 be at home, some in Cancun and other places.

Wherever you are just remember that drinking and driving isn't worth the danger. When we get back remember TAXI is here, so use it.

Iletters Response to SEM300 To the editor: I agree with Brian Marczyk's comment in his letter to Loquitur that" ...mandatory acts of altruism ... are not acts of altruism at all." That the Community Involvement component of SEM 300 would be perceived on our campus or by our peers on other campuses as required volunteerism (an oxymoron) has, in fact, been a continual concern to me so I am grateful for the opportunity to respond to Brian's remarks.

It is easy to describe this new SEM 300 requirement as required volunteerism or required altruism because many other colleges have or are beginning to have such requirements. The Cabrini Community Involvement Program is intended as neither. It is intended as a learning experience, one part of the course work on the theme of the Common Good. Its analogue is student teaching or an internship, not a social service requirement for graduation.

At Cabrini the CORE course the Common Good is logically (and was chronologically) prior to the Community Involvement Project.

The theme of the Common Good was adopted by the faculty in 1988. The theoretical understanding of the Common Good gained in the Sem experience needed actual hands-on experience in the community. Community Involvement Projects which are suitable forone

SEM 300 may not be suitable for another on a different theme.

To put the matter differently, most programs in history of art require some studio art experience. You cannot understand the (technical) problems the artist faces unless you have tried your hand in the medium. And the same could be said about the natural sciences: the laboratory experience is vital to understanding how science works. Indeed college science students do not make discoveries in their lab experiences but they learn about the recalcitrance of the material world and of the ingenuity of the scientist. You have to get your feet wet or your hands dirty - choose your metaphor!

The faculty at Cabrini decided to require the Community Involvement Project as part of Sem 300 for many of the same reasons it requires at least one semester of laboratory science. To study the Common Good one must engage in activities that seek to promote that good. There is much to be learned from thatexperience,muchthatcannotbeleamed in the classroom but which can make the classroom experience more meaningful. Quite frankly, m adding this requirement to the curriculum the Cabrini faculty is acknowledging its own limitations in teaching SEM 300.

The college is using the community as a laboratory. There is a possible benefit to the

sports editor The Bull's Pizzle. That's what I am. The Bull's Pizzle. If you don't know what it is I'll tell you. It is a Shakespearean term meaning a phallic symbol. The Bull's Pizzle.

I'm the lone soldier fighting a war with soldierettes. I am the single thorn on a seven petal rose. I am the only guy on an eightperson editorial board.

How do I deal with it? I don't know but somehow I manage. It is difficult however when the dreaded simultaneous P.P.P.(pre, present, post) M.S. kicks in. It seems that all seven of them have their period at the same time. But they don't because I put up with it all month long so it's more like perpetual menstrual syndrome.

I became the lone representation of the male population by default. In September there were four males. A motley crew we were, but still there were four. But one quit before the year started, another was fired, then a third quit. How does the line in Ten Little Indians go? And then there was one.

I was a modem-day Prince Charming who thought he found Snow White, but much to my chagrin I exhumed the seven dwarfs. The major problem was I exhumed the female dwarfs. Thereissneezy, that'sKimmie,Dawn of course is sleepy, Missy is Doc, Kim Keck is Dopey (but cute), Lorraine is Grumpy, Rita is Happyand Karenis Bashful. Maybe it is Freud penis syndrome in reverse.

Late nights are tough. Usually I am surrounded by women to the point of overkill that I have to make a late-night dash to the local tavern for a Long Island Ice Tea and a little male bonding.

At certain stressful points during the year I thought I was going to menstruate. But I wasn't. It was just the rest of them permeating the air.

I can't lie being the only guy does have its benefits. I didn't have to go far to find somebody to wrap my mother's Christmas gift and I am up on all the latest soaps by proxy.

But back to the hell. These women just don't understand how guys operate sometimes. They think that just because I have a bat I can't change sports.

They think I am eccentric. But they fail to realize that I am so unbelievably non-strange I just appear to be

eccentric.

Maybe it is because I compare everything in life to baseball. But that is legit because life does indeed revolve around baseball.

The last few weeks have been extremely difficult. Try defending your sex during the Clarence Thomas hearings, the Kennedy Smith rape trial and the Mike Tyson rape trial. It is not easy when you 're outnumbered. But somehow I prevailed and lived to tell about it.

The newsroom is different this year. Last year there was a definite testosterone aura in the building because I had partners in crime.

Now lam the lone pirate, a trailblazeranointed to rescue seven damsels in distress.

Did somebody say stress? Stress is bad enough but couple it with the old monthly bill, seven times over, and see how easy it is to lose your sanity. But then again you can't lose something you never had.

Maybe that's why my relationship with these women has been so good, because I have no sanity. You know that any sane person wouldn't wish my position on their worse enemy, let alone a close friend.

S~ am I crazy for continuing my position as the Bull's Pizzle? I don't know. But a wise Caribbean sage once said, "If we weren't all crazy, we wouf(tgtrlnsane." Don't fret Jimmy because I am crazy and the hoard of femalian influence has driven me insane.

But fear not ladies. For I write this viewpoint in jest, off the cuff and from the hip, as I do all of my opinions. And with the Dawn of every new born day I realize just how much I have learned this year. I wouldn't trade my seven wenches for anything.

Except two tickets to a Cubs game, a swim in the Rio, a white sandy beach and blue coral ocean behind House Seven, a bank account of more than two digits, ... you get the picture.

The Bull's Pizzle, it's that simple.

TAXIservice offers new night and no cab fare

by Kimberly Haban assistant news editor

It is Thursday 2 a.m. The lights go on in the Tavern. Do you know how you are getting home?

There are many options. You could walk back to campus from this nearby bar. You could get a ride with your designated driver.

Or you could drive yourself back, drunk, and hope you do not get pulled over or worse yet get into an accident.

Now the Student Government Association is providing students with another option: TAXI on Thursday nights.

TAXI, the safe-ride program, which is at present available on Friday and Saturday nights to bring Cabrini students back to campus after they've had a few spirits, will begin running on Thursday nights starting Feb. 27.

Junior class president Tara Kegel said she first suggested TAXI be run on Thursday nights shortly after the program was implemented last year.

Kegel said she thought TAXI

was in much greater demand on Thursday nights because Thursday is the night that most bars in the area have their specials. The Wayne Tavern sponsors $1 mug night and Popcorns draws people in with their $5 all you can eat and drink from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. special.

"It's also a plain fact that a lot of people on this campus go home on the weekends anyhow," Kegel said.

Kegel met with co-directors of TAXI junior Lisa Naab and junior Eric Klansek and together they researched how many people go out on Thursday nights, consume alcohol and would take TAXI back to campus. They also checked to see how many people have classes on Fridays.

Surveys were sent to every student 21-years-old or older. Ninety percent of the people who responded said yes they go out on Thursday nights, consume alcohol and would take TAXI home. Ten percent would not. Kegel, Naab and Klansek also found that a large majority of people did not have classes on Friday.

After researching, the three drew up a proposal which was an exten-

more MANSION from 1 are safer, according to Caulfield.

"I know the women weren't happy but I think they anticipated it," Caulfield said.

Christine Costigan,junior Mansion resident, has been considering drawing up a petition to have the Mansion remain open as a residence hall. Though she has not definitely changed her mind, she does understand the safety factors that must be taken into consideration.

"I basically knew (the Mansion closing) was coming, but I'm disappointed because we have a good time," Costigan said. "If the Mansion is such a safety hazard then why are we living here in the first place?"

Caulfield explained the reason behind the limited male housing availability is because male occupancy is low. Nancy Gardner, di-

rector of admissions, said it'is still too early to make predictions on enrollment because potential students have until May 1 to apply.

According to Gardner, as of Friday, Feb. 21, there were 3 first-year male resident students and 16 first-year female resident students applying for housing.

"Applications are up over last year," Gardner said. She is hoping the financial aid office will be able to offer aid packages that will attract more students to the college.

In this year's lottery, males will now be offered singles. With changes and displacements, the lottery will be more competitive for both male and female.

The lottery for residence halls willbeheldonApril6, 7 and 8. The Special Interest Housing process will be completed by March 25.

sion of the original proposal and submitted itto SGA. Kegel said the proposal had to go through six different channels, from SGA to the board of trustees.

Klansek said there were no real problems with the proposal but it took a long time to be approved. "It sat on Bob's desk for two months," Klansek said referring to Dr. RobertBonfiglio, vicepresidentforstudent affairs. , Kegel, Naab and Klansek were concerned that Thursday night was considered an academic night and theythoughttheywouldhaveproblems with Dr. M. Antoinette Schiesler, academic dean.

"Everyone was very receptive to it," Kegel said.

Klansek said TAXI costs $5 a weekend to run. The money is donated from the SGA budget.

From Sept. 6 to Feb. 15 TAXI has received 19 calls. "I used to view TAXI as I wanted to get a call," Klansek said "but now it doesn't matter. It's just important that it is available."

TAXI is a volunteer program.

Four students volunteer to work on Friday or Saturday nights. One

person answers the phone, another drives the van, another person of the opposite sex rides in the van for insurance purposes and the other is on standby if there are any major problems.

Doug Eppler, first-year student has volunteered to work TAXI between 25 and 30 times. Eppler said he volunteers because he likes to see people have a good time but he gets worried if they have a few too many and drive home. " It's rewarding to know people are trusting us to be there." Eppler said.

The most popular pick-up spot is the Wayne Tavern. The most popular drop-off spots are the Mansion, Dixon, Lanshe and Xavier.

SeniorSueRouxhastakenTAXI three times and said she plans on taking it on Thursdays. "Unfortunatelyitdoesn'ttakeusthere,"Roux said "But if you get dropped off that's cool."

Roux said she thinks Thursday nights will be the most beneficial becausethatisthenightmostpeople go out. "Everyone can have a good time but have a safe ride home," Roux said.

When a person gets a ride with

TAXI it is confidential. The volunteers sign a contract that states that the peoples names whodouseT AXI will not be documented or passed on to,any other individual. The contract also states that no volunteer can consume alcohol before or during their hours with TAXI. Drivers must be trained to drive the van There were information nights in the beginning of each semester for people who wanted to be volun,teers.

TAXI has volunteers for every Thursday night from Feb. 27 to April 29-. '4lttlnteers are needed for May 7 and May 14.

WYBF exceeds the call of duty in public affairs programming

by Megan Flanigan staff writer With programs like "Cabrini Watch" and "Phone-In Forum," 89.1, WYBF FM is going beyond the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements concerning public affairs programming.

The FCC, which monitors all U.S. broadcasting facilities, requires noncommercial radio stations like WYBF, to have one hour per week of public affairs programming.

Cabrini totals three hours of public affairs programming per week.

Public service announcements, "Thinking about Drinking," "Cabrini Watch," and "Phone-In Forum,"raise WYBFabovetheFCC limit. According to Bud Mellon, WYBF adviser, Cabrini has three hours of programs.

The programs are meant to benefit the listeners with information concerning certain topic of interests and provide public service, Mellon said.

"Cabrini Watch," a studentoriginated program, on various public topics, such as abortion rights, is provided by the radio class and students are required to create the topics and conduct the interviews. Each student in the class is required to produce three 15-minute programs, airing on Mondays and Fridays at 3 p.m.

Joe Harnett, advanced radio broadcasting professor, said he never asks for anything specific in programs. "The arena is wide open," Harnett said. According to Harnett, students are learning, but the real test will be when the students produce topics that require more research, to attract more of the general

public.

"Cabrini Watch" teaches students good responsibility because it one program provided to keep WYBF'slicense, Harnett said. 'The radio station has definitely improved, but if we want to compete we have to learn our skills."

Junior Missy von Siegel said the public service announcements (PSA) are a practical way to learn and also fulfills the FCC requirements. "It makes sense," von Siegel said. "Plus, it's hands-on experience."

Chris Monaghan, sophomore said, "Ithink it's a good idea. It gets the students to go out and met people and learn their jobs, Monaghan said. " "Phone-In Forum" is a student produced program, in which students discuss topics of a local or national interest. The program is open to phone calls from listeners.

The program runs from 8 until l 0 p.m. on Mondays evenings.

In the past the national topics have included discussions on the men's movement and media influence on presidential politics and the local programs included topics security, safety and CORE curricu-

!um. ''There have been some top-notch guests," Mellon said. According to Mellon, topics have tried to be up to date. "The station is ready to switch gears at a moments notice," Mellon said.

Stephanie Ranieri, host of "Phone-In Forum," said she thinks the program is a good asset and good to get grants, which helps profits. Ranieri said she'd like to see more responses from listeners. "Listeners are out there but they don't call in," Ranieri said.

Two other programs provided by WYBFare"ThinkingAboutDrinking" and public service announcements. According to Mellon, there will be a whole series of PSA's during AIDS Awareness week. ''Thinking About Drinking" is a nationally produced program that airs on Wednesday at 3 p.m. The cassettes to the program are sent to WYBF and are exclusively available in the area.

WYBF public affairs director Jennifer Igoe said, "The programs are starting to take off." According to Igoe, being public affairs director is a lot of work, but worth it. "It's a labor of love."

Jane, a 23-year-old senior transfer, and her boyfriend Thomas went out with a couple friends to a local dance club. It was a Thursday night and Jane saw some Cabrini students at the club. Though she didn't speak to them, she knew who they were from seeing them on campus.

The next day Jane was walking by a group of students in Cabrini's corridors. As she walked past them she heard them say "Oh, there's the nigger-lover."

Jane proceeded to the bathroom. A couple of girls confronted her in the bathroom, asking her why she was dating an African-American man. Doesn't she know it's wrong?

"I was scared," Jane said. "No one has ever said that to me." Jane has been seriously dating her boyfriend for two years as of this May.Though she says it took awhile to accept his offers for dates and that they are total opposites, Jane can honestly say, "I love him more than life itself."

What attracted Jane to Thomas was his smile, his personality, his walk. "He's so cool when he walks he makes me sick. I ask him to trip once in a while to make me happy," Jane said.

"I told my mother two weeks ago and she went crazy," Jane said. "My mother begged me not to tell my father." The scene in Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever'' has the Italian-American father beating his daughter when he finds out about her dating an African-American man. "I had to leave the theater because my face turned pure white," Jane said. "It hit so close to home."

"Often times there is a pressure of sustaining a relationship based on family and friends not accepting the relationship," Dr. Daniel Schwarz, director of the Counseling Center, said. "Acceptance is a real concern," Schwarz said. According to Schwarz, the people who understand and accept the interracial couple• s

Tatoos:

why get one?

Interracial dating, while no longer a societal taboo, still causes problems for those involved. relationship is often a validating experience for the couple.

Schwarz said the flip side is that people feel the need to hide the relationship. "It's a common occurrence and it• s a struggle between how much the relationship is worth to go public or is it safer to keep it hidden," Schwarz said.

Kiley, a junior student, has a sister who has been dating anAfrican-American man for six years. When Kiley found out, she hated her sister. "I was mad because no one was doing it. It was a shock," Kiley said. "I would throw it in her face when we fought."

Kiley said her family experienced problems when her sister wanted to go to the prom with her boyfriend. Their father told her sister to pack her bags and not to botht:r coming home that night. "It was the whol; idea that was hard to deal with," Kiley said.

It was in her freshman year in college when Kiley discovered her sister was pregnant. A baby girl was born. "She is such a beautiful little girl." Although Kiley adores her, she is uncertain about her niece's future. "I don't

want to see other little kids abuse her," Kiley said. The whole family has come to accept the relationship, but now her father wants her to marry the man. Kiley said that her sister will never marry him.

"People have to accept what they're willing to take on," Schwarz said.

Emily, a junior, has been dating a SpanishAmerican for two years. "He's the averageJoe American guy," Emily said. "I never thought about the fact that he was Puerto Rican, it never fazed me."

She met him through a friend in her freshman year and said she has never had any visible problems socially or family-wise. "I think it's neat because I accept interracial dating," Emily said. "If you find a relationship with someone, it shouldn't matter who they are."

Greg, a junior, dated an African- and Italian- American woman. "She was extremely pretty and she had something about her," Greg said. "She was also very smart." Greg said some girls, who were white, told him they had no respect for him anymore. Or some

people told him that they would be afraid of repercussions. "It is a prejudice that starts as a child," Greg said. "There's always that inner-conscious thing." ''I'd do it again and it's terrible that people don't have that attitude," Greg said.

Senior Karen Dumomey, who decided to use her real name, said that there is still too much overt bigotry in society. "Things have to change drastically before I would deal with it," Durnomey said.

"It's bad enough that relationships are already hard," Dumomey said, "but to add that other problem makes it such a burden."

Dumomey also added that she would worry about her future children. "It can cause confusion, resentment and people can be mean. I wouldn't want to have my child make a choice betwe~n the races," Dumomey said.

Amy dated an African-American man. "We were completely public with our relationship," Amy said. She said that people just knew they were seeing each other because of all the times they saw them together. People said that it was a white girl's entertainment or that they would never tell their parents if they became involved in an interracial relationship.

"But now I don't advocate it," Amy said.

"People believe it will truly work, but they don't see the big~e."

"They don't think that it just might fail and they don't prepare for that fact," Amy said.

"People involved in interracial relationships are confronted with their own personal stereotypes," Schwarz said. He said they need to deal with their own issues and get a sense of what it is like to be of another race.

"I had preconceived notions when I got into the relationship," Susan said, speaking of her relationship with a man from Africa. "It was a challenge because I had to learn how to deal with him as a culture, not really a race."

Susan, however, said that she is trying to understand herself and her culture.

Susan said what really matters is what people can give back as a person. "If you can get through that, you can get through anything."

"But it's more than just an issue of curiosity," Susan said.

Crime and Miss Demeanor

Confessions of-life in the fast la·ne

by Kimberly Haban

I have always wondered what happened to people who did not have money to pay their toll, and after scrounging around for some spare change and coming up with two pennies and a gum wrapper I was about to find out.

catalogue.

I owed $89 for blowing a $1.05 toll.

I chanced the odds and pleaded not guilty. Two things could happen in my favor. Hie! could not show up at the trial or the toll attendant could not show up.

My trial was scheduled for Feb. 10 at 11 :30 a.m .. I dressed in my most prim and proper clothes, grabbed my stepfather for moral support and listened to my mom's helpful hints."Tell them you were upset about your step dad getting laid off." she said.

"Just don't argue with the judge."

"Yes mom." I said shutting the door on her last words of advice.

We arrived at the courthouse 10 minutes early and were escorted into the courtroom right away.

Hie! showed up. My only saving grace was if the toll attendant did not show.

I took my seat as instructed. Before Morgan even asked me about what had happened she announced that I was not guilty because the toll attendant could not make the trial.

After she announced the verdict we had a friendly discussion, off the record, as to what measures I could take if I did not have money to pay my toll.

I learned two things: never blow a toll it could cost

"Do you believe in fairy godmothers?"

"Sometimes."

"Well yours sure came through for you today."

I walked out of the courtroom with a smile on my face as Horsham District Justice Gloria Morgan announced that I was not guilty.

It all"started on a rainy Friday afternoon in November. I just finished having lunch in Center City with my parents.

A lunch that was not just for family bonding as I had end.

"Were you on the Pa. turnpike Friday night?" Hie! thought, but to tell me that my stepfather had gotten asked. laid off. "Please pass the salt."

Oh yes I ran that toll didn't I ? "Yes I was."

After that lovely news and dessert of course, I Although Hie! was a nice man and very understandbegan my drive home in silence. ing of my situation the conversation, and my begging My drive was not silent because of the sad realizaand pleading ended with Hie! telling me he was so tion that the recession had my family in its grips but sorry but I would be receiving a citation in the mail because the stereo in my car was out of commission.

I am not the best person with directions and I hate shortly.

"Thank you Trooper Hie!." driving in the city so I asked my mom to help me find A few days later that yellow slip of paper blessed my way out. Obviously she is not the best person with my mailbox, along with the latest Victoria Secret directions either.

Instead of telling me how to get on Interstate 95 she directed me to the Sure-Kill Distress way.

Once I hit cruising speed, which was about 30 mph in rush hour traffic and rain on the expressway, I realized I was going to have to take the Pa. turnpike home.

This was pre-Blue Route.

Taking the turnpike would not have been such a problem if I had not spent my last $6.75 on parking in the city. But, because parallel parking is not my forte I spent the money to "Park 'N Lock" close to the restaurant.

I have always wondered what happened to people who did not have money to pay their toll, and after scrounging around for some spare change and coming up with two pennies and a gum wrapper I was about to find out.

I pulled up to the toll booth, rolled down the window and flashed my cutest smile to the most gorgeous toll attendant I have ever seen.

"Hi." I said.

"Hi." "I ltave a problem." I said. I proceeded to explain to him my confusion with directions and lack of money.

I asked if he could please take my name, phone number and liscense plate number and send me a bill for the $1.05 that I owed.

Unfortunately my cutest smile did not work (maybe I should have shown a little leg or took the innocent approach and cried).

He said no.

He told me that I would have to go to the office and fill out a few forms. Who at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon wants to stop and fill out paperwork because of a lack of $1.05? Not me.

Instead of stopping, turning around and going to the office I pm my foot on the gas and blew off the toll.

The rest of the way home, only 15 minutes but it felt like an hour, I kept looking in my rear view mirror for those red and blue falshing lights.

I breathed a sigh of relief as pulled in my ORIGINAL! PARTY PLEASER! driveway without a ticket thinking I was home free.

more STUDY from 1 fem ales and also looks at both sexes as minority groups. One of the class requirements includes students reading studies dealing with bias in the educational system, especially at the elementary level.

Middleton said that from personal experience she does believe that these problems exist, but it's not necessarily male teachers favoring male students and vice versa.

She added that one student told her of a different report that said teachers are more inclined to calling on male students because they possess a more soothing voice.

Dr. Jack McGovern, director of graduate studies, said that two things may occur when this situation happens. Either the teacher, who is a product of the system, will perpetuate it or the woman who feels cheated makes a point to initiate a change in the classroom for her students.

Senior Sharlene Sephton is now studentteaching on a full-time basis and says that she does not think that the gender prejudice

'The boys are expected to act up.'

-Cindy Keane, sophomore student teacher is a conscious matter, but that it definitely does occur.

She said that, in her opinion, teachers need to be more aware of this possibility and work towards eliminating it in their classrooms.

She presented the theory that she is sometimes inclined to call on males more because their names are so common and easier to remember.

Full-time student-teacher Mary Shimkus, senior, said that children notice these differential treatments and that it affects them tremendously.

Part-time student-teachers said that they too witness bias in the classroom.

Sophomore Alicia Casole said that she noticed that her cooperative teacher had definite favorites but that it had to do with individual personalities, not gender.

Lisa Gambacorta, sophomore, said that a teacher in her school tended to gravitate toward the physically attractive female students, while shunning those who were unattractive or possessed physical handicaps.

"The boys are just expected to act up," sophomore Cindy Keane, said. In her school, she said, the males are granted greater leniency in terms of reprimanding because they've been labeled as trouble makers, but the girls must abide by the school policies at all ~imes.

Both Keane and Gambacorta said that they, unfortunately, tend to favor the male students sometimes because in their personal experience, the males have been nicer and more receptive to them.

McGovern said that the concept of bias in the classroom is tragic for women because it limits potential and keeps females from performing what they are actually capable of.

He said that the education system, on the whole, is very poor and that while girls may need extra attention, in sight of this study, both sexes must be encouraged more in terms of developing skills in science and math.

Middleton said that the results of the A.A.U.W. may be slightly biased because of the group• s interests and that she would like to see the same study replicated by a different organization.

This marks one of the few times that the U.S. tried change Israeli policies with monetary persuasions.

The men's volleyball team is made up of 100 percent personality and willingness. Sophomore John Fasolka is a big part of that percentage.

"He's very dedicated to the sport," Charlie Tucci, coach and captain of the team, said.

Fasolka's parents both play volley- \ ball and the 19-year-old Fasolka fell into the groove and has been playing since he was 10. He has played orga- ~• nized volleyball for three years. Though his parents never pushed him to play, "everything I learned was from my fa- , ther."

Today, Fasolka excels at the sport.

And because he excels, the rest of the team works harder. "He's court smart," Tucci said.

Fasolka stands on the court with his game face, ready to go. It is this game face that has earned him the nickname of "Fapsycho." He is extremely serious, and hates to lose. After a loss to Eastern, Fasolka ran back to school, to cool off. "I just hope they don't lose to a team like the University of Delaware, because he would have a hell of a run/ back," Steve Murray, Fasolka's roommate, said.

Fasolka loves to win, and has fun winning. This not only includes actual sports, but also video games on Nintendo

=!.•-~:

morelbana"greattao,"isadllallyWestevea~wn

and Sega.

Besides playing volleyball, Fasolka balances classes _ and an on-campus job in the mailroom, as well as an off-campus job at Small's 'Formal wear in the Lehigh Valley Mall.

Though he is still undecided about his major, Fasolka is leaning towards criminal justice. "Eventually, I want to work with the FBI." Fasolka's hobbies include any type of exercise. "I like to stay in shape," Fasolka said. This includes working out and running. During the fall season, Fasolka also ran for Cabrini's cross country team.

Fasolka resides in Sullivan House (House 7), and that's what he likes most about Cabrini. The guys in the house are "almost like brothers to me," Fasolka said. Since Fasolka is the oldest of six children, the older men in his house give Fasolka someone to look up to. "We've gotcloseknitrelationships,"Fasolkasaid.

"John is an awesome roommate," Murray said. Fasolka and Murray have been roommates for two years. Thougll on the court, Fasolka is competitive, off the court he is an easy going guy who "likes to have - fun." When things get on your nerves, like they sometimes do, "living with someone like John makes it easier," photo by Judi Panasik, Murray said.

•The day after his basketball team lost its last game of the season to Allentown College, coach John Dzik sat behind his desk in the athletic office thinking of the past, present and future basketball situation at Cabrini.

He tries to forgetthe problems of the past season, looks wishful towards the play-offs, trying to figure out a way to put air back into his deflated basketball team.

The Cavs ended the season with a 11-14 record.

This was Dzik's first losing· season ever as a head coach.

The blame for the losing season was due to lack of enthusiasm by the players, assistant coaches and himself, Dzik said. The team as a whole did not work up to its potential.

This season had its share of highlights but those shining moments were left in the shade of lowlights.

"The half court shot that Mike Carafa made to put us in the finals of King'!: Tournament Championship," Dzik said, "was one of our highlights."

The lowlights centered around the problems the team encountered off the court as well as on the court.

Dzik said the off-court antics definitely inhibited the player's performance on the court.

On the court the team appeared to have lost their ability to win. The team ended the season with a sixgame losing streak.

Off the court was the suspension of players for drinking early in the season. Then there was the incident of the players being disorderly in a hotel on the way back from Shenandoah University. Finally, there was the dismissal of senior Mike Massari.

Soon it will be time for Dzik to say good-bye to his senior guards Jon Owens and Carrafa. Dzik said that, like all his former players, these two will definitely be missed.

Owens has grown up a lot since he came to Cabrini two years ago, Dzik said. Dzik said Owens growth has been evident both on and off the court.

Carrafa's hard work will be noticeably absent on the court next year. "Even through his injuries, Mike is the only one who knows what it takes to get the job done," Dzik said.

Dzik is preparing the Cavs for the ESAC Championship on Feb. 27-29. He said he hopes for the best.

The team will face Shenandoah in the first round. The Cavs have beaten Shenandoah twice this year and

Fait Accompli The Larks were victorious over WYBF to win the intramural championship. Following the season intramural coordinator Mark Mellor submitted his All Mellor team. So with much respect · to John Madden, here goes: Larks: Bob Macartney-- the field general behind the champs.

Frank Petrane-- that cross shot in game four reminded me of a guy name Fasycho.

WYBF: Bob Healey-- Shredding the ZUBAZ for rally bandanas.

Jim Rodriguez-- true experience from a boy from New York.

Mansion: Tina Giunta-- solid serves showed the underachiever how to play.

Jamie Shaak-- with that wingspan the ball didn't have a chance to get over the net.

Student Services:Debbie Dorsey-- the former All-American showed the "young whipper snappers" who owns the court.

Scott Dorsey-- the Hawkof volleyball, NOT. House 2: Tara Kegel-- the woman was everywhere except on 21st birthdays.

Carol Bristow-- for gracing us with the presence.

House 5: Sue Roux-- the rooster took control and rallied her team when defeat was near.

Becky Tressel--if she hit the ball any harder the posts would have come out of the ground.

J.D. Buds: Veronica Hoffman-- the Bo Jackson of Cabrini's women athletics.

Amy Crossley-- president of Cabrini's Sweedish Bikini team.

WoodcrestWomen: Kathleen Foto-- I didn't know they play volleyball down dere 'n Loosiana.

Heather McAllister-- I know you're tired of losing, but everyone has to play in the playoffs.

AUMellor Award: Casey Ahlas--the brains behind the brawn.

Yo Cas. it takes a lot of heart to do all you have done, big guy!

The Numbers Game Upon his trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins, former Ayer Rick Tocchet found that his patented number 22 was already taken by Paul Stanton. Who? Paul Stanton, a little known defenseman.

Tocchet decided to wear number 92 as in 1992 representing a new chapter in his career.

It will be interesting to see ifTocchet lets his hair grow for the remainder of the season. His downfall coincided with his last haircut. Does the name Samson ring a bell?

Editor's note: The following story and the events contained within are satirical fiction written solely for the enjoyment of the reader. The story is based on exaggerated fact and incidents at Cabrini College.

The full 40-man rosters report to Spring Training today and for the next month or so every team is tied for first place. Once the real season starts it will be different story. Keep an eye on the Phillies Tyler Green and how well the Mets will bond as a team with more millionaires than most college's board of trustees.

Mo Money, Mo Money In 1987 there were 57 $I-million players in Major League Baseball. Going into this year's spring training there were a whopping 273 or 42 percent of the players.

The New York Yankees lead the league by employing 16 · millionaires on its roster. The Cleveland Indians employ none.

The New York Mets have only 11 millionaires, however, of those 11, seven earn more than $3 million.

Based on the play of sophomore Gus Nazaridis and his fellow underclassmen, coach John Dzik gave his "iron clad" guarantee that the Cavs will rebound from its disappointing 11-14 season. three times in a row. Dzik said he believes the Cavs are capable of beating Shenandoah a fourth time.

"Will we try? I think so. Are we capable of winning? Absolutely. Will we win? Idon'tknow,"Dzik said.

Can this basketball team be inflated? One wonders.

Dzik insures it. He is optimistic when it comes to talking about next season.

"The team will rebound. You have my iron clad, 100 percent guarantee that we will rebound," Dzik said.
