Newpresident costscollege moremoney by Christopher McMahon staff writer
As the college hires its first lay president, the college will take on new or increased expenses that it did not have to pay with its first four presidents, who were members of the missionary sisters. Among these are a competitive wage scale, and the costs of the search committee itself. Although Sister Regina Casey, MSC, chair of the board of trustees; John Barclay, chief financial officer; Karen Berlant, director of public relations and Sister Eileen Currie, MSC,presidentofthe college, would not comment on the cost of the new president. While the search committee was comprised main 1y of trustees, alumni, administrators, faculty and students, the group was led by two outside consultants. Sources have said that the cost of the entire process was approximately $25,000, and that the tab was picked up by a board member. Another and more important aspect of the cost is the area of salary.

It is commonly accepted that a lay president will make considerably more than a president from a religious order. According to the College and University Personnel Association (CUPA) the average salary for an Institutional president of a Baccalaureate college with a full time enrollment of 500 to 999 students makes an average of $77,000. Of the 874 campuses surveyed, 68 fit into this category. The CUP A' ssurvey, taken from the July 3,1991 issue of The Chronicle Of Higher Education, also revealed that the presidents of private institutions have an earned higher average than those of public institutions. Housing for institutional presidents has been an issue in the past. Of the institutions surveyed near! y half still offered housing. Of those who had discontinued or never offered the benefit 60 percent offered a housing allowance. According Casey, Cabrini will not be providing subsidized housing for Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, Cabrini'snewpresident,nextyear.

The SEPTA Route 205 service ends Friday, March 13. Reasons include low passenger numbers leading to a loss of revenue. The Route 205 service ran between the Wayne train station and King of Prussia.
On Friday, March 13 junior Elizabeth MacGuire will have her last opportunity to travel on the SEPT A Route 205 bus that picks her up at Wayne Station and brings her to school. SEPT A is eliminating the Route 205 bus service that runs between the Wayne Station and King of Prussia Mall because of the low ridership, said Ronald DeGraw, acting assistant general manager for planning and development. DeGraw said the route was started because of requests for service from Cabrini College, Eastern College and Valley Forge Military Academy and Junior College. DeGraw said not only would it transport students back and forth to school, the service would provide students with transport-

Positiontemporarilyfilled by Melissa von Siegel
senior copy editor/writing coach Citing job-related stress and employer conflicts as two key points, Rosemary Hagen resigned as bookstore manager to John Barclay on Feb. 14. Albert Vassallo, bookstore manager for over 30 years, came in briefly to cover after Hagen's resignation. Currently, Colin Coakley, a 1991 Cabrini graduate, is employed as a temporary manager. Barclay said there are some applicants interested in filling the position. "We are looking at some possibilities," Barclay said. Feeling chest pains the afternoon of Feb. 5, Hagen went to her doctor for tests. The
bookstore was closed during the day on Thursday, Feb. 6 and also closed on Friday, Feb. 7. Hagen said her physician concluded that these pains were not the result of a heart malfunction, but most likely due to stress. According to Hagen, the work itself was not difficult; it was the fact that she was mostly doing it alone. "It was difficult. The demands of paperwork that had to be turned in every single day and then work the counter," Hagen said. Hagen said she asked her supervisor, John Barclay, for a daytime assistant, either full or part-time, in order to split the responsibilities of handling the paperwork and customer service. According to Hagen, Barclay de-

Service creating smiles It's always easier to pick up on the problems in front of you than the improvements that are being made. We believe that we have seen improvements being made to better the quality of service here at Cabrini. Within the last week, a group of 31 Cabrini students and staff returned from the towns of Union and Fayetteville in West Virginia as participants of Project Appalachia. These men and women sacrificed their Spring Break to serve th-?se in need. This opportunity also allowed Cabrini students to go off campus and see one another in a different light as well as help the people of Appalachia. TAXI has extended its service to include Thursday nights in addition to Friday and Saturday. TAXI is composed of students sacrificing their weekend nights to be available to provide safe rides home for fellow students. As a result of dialogue between students and Seilers, the Wig Warn is now delivering hot food to the residence halls and houses on Mondays and staying open later on those evenings. These changes create a more harmonious atmosphere. Registration is becoming less of a chore and more of what it is intended to be, becoming one more step in the fulfillment of the goals of the students. This is due to the updated computer records, as well as the hard work of Registrar Jennifer Hansbury and her staff. People sometimes tend to see just the negatives, but these are the positives that exemplify the Mission of this ~ervice-oriented college. The Mission Statement itself states that "the college hopes to instill in each student a strong sense of responsibility to the community at large." These actions serve as living examples of the Mission put into practice.
I Muchas • grac1as To the editor:
"Muchas gracias" to the Loquitur for its unsolicited and timely article on the lack of a full-time Spanish teacher. I truly appreciate the support of both majors and non-majors and applaud your recognitions of the two excellent teachers who have left us. Alumnae in language have written us since 1975 of their satisfaction in mastering a second language. They've effectively taught the Chicanos, the Cubans and the Puerto Ricanos in many states (sounds like Mother Cabrini's mission to me!) Indeed, students in many fields have found their language skills a great tool. Today the need for a second language is greater than ever. Happily, our current nonSpanish majors are recognizing this need. Dr. Middleton and I are hoping to initiate a Spanish for Educators course in 1992-93. The 200 level course is designed to help our students deal with their students. For those of you not in Education, I remind you that anyone who has fulfilled their requirement (101-102or 201-203) may take ForeignLanguageonaPass-Fail basis. You need not be an upperclassmen. You may take Spanish or French 203 every semester if you opt to do so. Students all over the country are seeing the need to continue language study. I would like to clarify one statement in the article of 2/14/92. Dr. Biller spoke about the Board's concern about tenured faculty. Dr. Halpern was not offered any full-time position - (tenured or non-tenured). Dr. Halpern was willing to accept a non-tenured position temporarily. Mrs. Rachat tendered her resignation in January, I 991, I was told, to my dismay, that no full-tim] teacher would be hired in her place. I hact)of course, already written many letters to the administration. This summer, fall and winter I have been 'asked why I "let Dr. Halpern go." I did not. I would be delighted to have her here teach-

Two fingers suddenly appear in front of my eyes. SNAP! Startled, I blink and my head jerks back from the interruption. "Earth to Karen. Earth to Karen. Are you there?" "What?" "Where were you, La La Land?" 'Tm sorry, what were you saying?" A shake of my friend's head and a look of exasperation crosses her face. This is definitely not the firsttirne. She can't understand me, but she continues her story, recounting the part I missed. Some people call it daydreaming. I guess that is a good word for it. However, for me, it is one of my most prized possessions. It is my imagination. Many people think an imagination only leads to trouble.

One of my favorite characters is Anne Shirley. Anyone familiar with PBS' Wonderworks may have seen Megan Follows as this characteJ-in "Anne of Green Gables." I love Anne's sense of adventure and trouble in her imagination. In one scene, Anne plays Elaine, the lily maid of Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott." As Anne floats away repeating the lines of this poem, the boat fastly starts to fill with water. Anne barely has enough time to grab onto the underside of a bridge before the boat sinks. Of course Anne gets rescued 5y her "foe" Gilbert. An orphan child, Anne has her window friend, Katie, whom she finds in the window of the bookcase in the house she lives in. "I wish I knew the spell that I could step into Katie's world," Anne said. She constantly looks for "kindred spirits" in the different people she meets. Luckily, she meets many. But you don't have to watch public television to find interesting programs. Any pro~ will do. I have written myself into "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as the female version of Q, the entity that loves to set the crew up in tiis t'tOl'tl playworld to see how humans react. "The Young Riders," a show about the Pony Express Riders which includes figures like the Kid, Wild Bill Hicock and Buffalo Bill Cody. Each show allows me to help or "rescue" one or more of the riders. An imagination is a wonderful thing to have. I never worry when I have to wait anywhere because I can use my imagination. I get my inspiration from television, movies, books and stories. As Anne Shirley said to one who professed that she never used her imagination, "You must live a very boring life!"

WigWam delivers by Kimberly Keck senior associate news editor
Junior Chris Conrad hastily loaded his car with a hot cheese steak and two chicken patty sandwiches. In his quick dash to Xavier Hall, he ensured that a large Coke wouldn't spill and ruin these late night snacks. ConradisthepilotdriverforSeilers' newly-implemented campus delivery service. The delivery service, which began on Monday, March 9 will run every Monday and Thursday from 9 p.m. to midnight. Sophomore Danielle Doyle, who ordered the cheese steak, greeted Conrad outside the Xavier cage. After tipping Conrad, she said, "I'm sick of the old food from Domino's and Campus Comer." By 10:45 p.m., Conrad was visiting House Six for the third time with an order. Seniors Frank Bressi, Jim Keller and junior Matt Macsisak: were sitting in the living room waiting for their chicken patty sandwiches and french fries. "We ate like hogs and spent at least $45," Macsisak: said.
''This is the best thing since Thursday night TAXI," Keller said. 'They're polite and they won't cheat you," Bressi said about the new delivery service. After the run,Conrad went back to the WigWam, the delivery service's center of operation. He counted his change while waiting for the next call. "It should be offered seven days a week because it is inexpensive and gives students jobs," Macsisak said Junior Tom Foran is the man behind the oven preparing the orders. He said he expected to get maybe one call but the delivery service received about 15 calls. Foran said he had a good time making the two large pizzas, chicken patties, steaks and burgers. "You're working but people can stop by and hang out," Foran said. "Tom is a good sandwich maker," sophomore Deanna D'Alfonso said after eating her turkey sandwich. Besides the delivery service, Seilers also extended the WigW~ hours from 9 p.m. to midnight on Monday and Thursday nights.

From 69th Street Station MacGuire sometimes hops on the PMW high speed line that takes her to Radnor Station and from there she either walks to school or takes advantage of the Cabrini van. If MacGuire is not in a hurry she takes the route I 05 bus to Wayne Station because it is an hour ride and MacGuire said she can get her reading completed.

President of the Commuter Club Lisa Naab said letters are being sent to commuters asking them if they will be needing a ride to school or if they would be willing to drive someone who does need a ride.

Library updates classifying system by Amy Nestler staff writer
A change is taking place within theHolySpiritLibrary. TheDewey Decimal System that has been used for 25 years in the Holy Spirit Library is being replaced by the Library of Congress System. Upon a visit to the library, students can view the display that is set up to give an idea of this change. Under the Dewey system, all titles on the same subject are assigned the same classification number. This causes books to be shelved together by subjects, therefore individual titles and copies cannot be maintained in order. As the collection grows, locating books becomes difficult. Most public libraries in the area use this system.
The Library of Congress (LOC) is a detailed academic system that uses cooperative cataloging through a cooperative network. This makes it easier as well as faster to find and organize like subjects. Students will find this system much easier to use. According to Kristine Mudrick, library director, many colleges are familiar with the LOC system. "These colleges are directly involved with the Tri-State College Library Cooperative (TCLC) Program." Colleges include Widener, Eastern and Delaware County Community College. TCLC provides over five million volumes for colleges, and promotes quality education through cooperative library services. Mudrick said, "the changes will be done in phases. We're targeting
areas and bringing collections together. The staff will be doing a lot of physical work, with moving the books around on the shelves." The library staff will have their jobs affected in subtle ways. They will be able to assort and classify faster and more accurately. There will also be less verification. Mudrick said, they will have more time for other projects, such as educating people about the LOC. "We're also moving towards preparing an automated catalog. We'll have to do a lot of cleaning and classifying records." Mudrick says if an attempt is made for this process. it will be easier to grant funding for this project. "We're getting a lot of _cleaning up done. To me, that's gratifying."

By the light of single candles placed appropriately on each table, through the dark and smokey 23 East Cabaret, past one rickety, old, wooden door, only to find another ...What lies behind this backstage, barnyard, stall door? The Winebottles. Four ambitious, highly talented and equally attractive young men fonn this up and coming alternative band. Doug, the outspoken lead singer, possesses a voice as powerful as it is seductive. He also plays the acoustic guitar, hannonica and is re• sponsible for all animal sounds and monologue. Darren, the laid back lead guitarist whose attire reveals his personality clad in levis, a sweater, and bucks. Steve, the bass guitarist, the most timid and obscure of the four. And finally, Kurt, the blonde, rebel type on drums. The Winebottles have been playing together for approximately three years. They have recently returned from Colorado where they cut their first album with Red Garage Booking and Management. The album, appropriately entitled The Winebottles, emulates the originality and creativity of the band. For starters, the album is dedicated to "Greta ...who has left us for doggie heaven." This quote introduces the attitude and approach that The Winebottles take regarding their music. The songs themselves also display a humorous, and at times, mysterious air, as in the songs "Fish Story", and "Mark's Nightmare". Other cuts on the album deal with more serious subjects, namely "Ohio", "Government", and the haunting "Ifl Die".
Tracks such as, "I Won't", "Concrete Halo" and "Useless Answers" possess the type of lyrics that hit close to home. Each in their own style and verse, these songs capture and jar the emotions and imagination. Presented by the Committee for Progressive Radio, a group concerned with the promotion of unsigned, local bands, The Winebottles will continue to perfonn Tuesday nights, throughout March, at the 23 East Cabaret.
The Winebottles have been playing together for approximately three years. They have recently returned from Colorado where they cut their first album with Red Garage Booking and Management.

Since then, The Winebottles as well as the WYBF staff have acquired a growing audience. The Winebottles will also perfonn March 20 at the Chestnut Cabaret, opening for NRBQ, and March 26 at the Berwyn Tavern. The Winebottles possess a unique and interesting sound.

The price of beauty could be costly to your face by Belinda Desher
assistant copy editor
"Let the buyer beware." The cosmetics industry is not regulated by the Federal Drug Administration, therefore it is the responsibility of the consumer to purchase wisely. "Cosmetic sales generate nearly 18 billion dollars and the industry is permitted by the FDA to be selfre gulated," according to Herb Denenberg, consumer and investigative reporter for WCA U Channel
10. "The industry is not required to test ingredients or to recall products. Regulation of cosmetics is a joke. The fact is there is no control. You don't know what you are buying," Denenberg said. This is not to say that the cosmetic companies will not withdraw products that arecontaminated, however they are not obligated to do so. According to an article written by Jody Sheilds for Vogue in March of 1989, an adve1tisement for Amor Skin in 1929 stated "Dying cells live-living cells multiply ...tissues grow firmer-younger ...they push wrinkles out of the skin." The FDA finally issued an ultimatum to cosmetic companies in 1987.lfaproduct claimed to physically alter the body it is a drug not a cosmetic. Companies were forced to either drop the false claims or have their product seized and classified as a drug, according to Shields. If the fountain of youth is ever discovered the cosmetics industry is going to loose a bundle. There are numerous products on the market today that claim to make you look (and feel) younger. There is an abundance of anti-aging formulas which allegedly prevent wrinkles. "Retinae is used for wrinkles but there is no real proof of doing what it claims," Dr. Michael Damiano, dermatologist, said. "It leads you to believe that it will make eyes look younger but I am skeptical about it. I think it can be misleading especially for older customers. It may refine subtle wrinkling around the eyes and lips but it will do nothing for a deep coarse
face," Damiano said. Some products claim that hypoallergenic is necessary for sensitive skin. "Hypo-allergenic means next to nothing, it means they won't put in things ingredients that cause allergic reactions," Denenberg said. "You can always develop an allergy even when you have used a product for extended periods of time," Damiano said. Allergic reac-
junior Lisa Naab said. Heather Moyer, freshman, says it ke\!p skin healthy. "I think makeup protects us from UV rays and wind damage." Although ingredient testing is not required, testing is done as a safety precaution. Untested products could blind, burn, maybe even kill the consumer. However, the means by which to do so create heated debates.
'Cosmetic sales generate nearly 18 billion dollars and the industry is permitted by the FDA to be self-regulated. The industry is not required to test ingredients or to recall products. Regulation of cosmetics is a joke. The fact is there is no control. You don't know what you are buying.' - Herb Denenberg, consumer and investigative reporter for WCAU Channel 10 lions to cosmetics such as acne or dermatidis are common but not serious according to Damiano. Cosmetics are at the bottom of the FDA's list of concerns according to Denenberg. "The FDA is not permitted to review the safety data of a product nor does it have the authority to review injury reports or demand a recall," Denenberg said. "There are I 00 carcinogens that cannot be checked but are used. Formaldehyde is a suspected carcinogen," Denenberg said. Some of these cancerous agents may cause neurotoxicity, meaning these substances may be toxic to nervous tissue. Denenberg's investigation revealed that a woman who used a contaminated product suffered extensive damage to her face. "It literally chewed up her face," Denenbeg said. "She had thousands of dollars worth of cosmetic surgery and must take collagen injections in order to keep her face normal." "I don't think make-up really has an effect, I think its all a matter of how you take care of your skin,"
you. Different groups of animals are given different doses until 50 percent of one group dies. The dose fed to that particular group is the precise median lethal dose, or the LDS0." Alternative" solutions include using synthetic proteins, fertilized chicken eggs, and eyes from human and animal cadavers. "The FDA will not validate the alternative tests unless it is convinced that the tests have been accepted by the scientific community and industry," according to Urquhart. Which means that most companies will not expose themselves to alternative solutions if the FDA does not accept the testing. Businesses would be not protected if a consumer sued the company. Suggestions to consumers are : Consumers should buy from reputable cosmetic companies because they are responsible for reparations. Large corporations have to protect their reputation. Consumers should read the labels of the products and become familiar with dangerous additives.
For instance, the use of Aloe and Lanolin is sometimes emphasized on a product along with perhaps an outline of a plant to perceive it as using natural ingredients. Although Aloe is a plant, lanolin is not. Lanolin is sheep's wool grease and may contain pesticides and other pollutants. Red dye 19 is the dye that was used to make red M&M's until it was removed because it was linked with causing cancer. It has never been approved by the FDA to be utilized in cosmetics although it is a component of some eye make-up products. Pharmaceutical products and creams have expirations dates on them because they may loose potentcy. Cosmetics do not have expiration dates on them but that does not mean that a product has an immortal shelf life. If a product is satisfactory to your needs and does not cause irritation, stick with it. If you decide to look for a new brand try sampling it at home first before of buying it·in mrge quantity after having a make-over.

When purchasing various kinds of make-up, consumers must be aware of the types of chemicals which the make-up contains because the cosmetic industry is not regulated by the Federal Drug Administration. Dramatic side effects could occur if a woman uses the wrong type of make-up on her face. Caution should be used when selecting a specific brand of cosmetics.

Barclay said he informed Hagen of this. "That's the way things are done," Barclay said. "I do it all the time and you either get a yea or a nay. That's how you do it." "Had I been given a chance and another parttime or full-time person, we could have gotten everything straightened out," Hagen said. Barclay said Hagen was highly recommended for the position by Jennifer Stevens, former bookstore manager, who knew Hagen from purchasing art materials at Moore College of Art. Hagen also worked at the University of Pennsylvania as a textbook manager for eight-and-a-half years. Students in the work study program are employed in the bookstore and Hagen said she had seven students. However, Hagen said most could only work at night and being students, at times had prior academic commitments. "My philosophy is that academics come first and if they can't show up because they have a project due, then I can't fault that," Hagen said. "Their first commitment is to their academics."

Knee injuries hinder students by Karen M. Bell
staff writer
Are you someone who enjoys sports or just like to keep in shape? Well, if you are, think about this: what if all of a sudden your life was changed and the exercising or sport that you loved to do had to be put on hold because you damaged·your knee? Bill Lukasiewicz, athletic trainer, said that there are quite a few people at this school who have suffered from knee injuries from a knee injury as minor as tendentious to something more major as tearing your anterior cruciate ligament. "It happened last year while playing basketball against Beaver College," junior Frank Scio Ila said. "A 240 pound kid fell on my knee and I tore my anterior cruciate ligament." Senior Kathy Murray also tore her anterior cruciate ligament playing basketball. "Three weeks after I had surgery they started me on physical therapy. It began with stretching the knee to make sure that the wounds would heal," Murray said. Murray's surgery on her knee was in January, I 99 l. She was not able to start jogging, a daily activity of hers, until August of that year. According to Sports Illustrated, "Until about 20 years ago a knee injury often ended an athlete's career. Even ifhe or she did come back, the player was rarely the same. The cliche is that the knee was not designed for sports."

There are many steps to conquer when recovering from a knee injury.
An injury in the knee does not just happen from basketball. Junior Christine Cambria hurt her knee her sophomore year of high school while playing volleyball. "I had orthoscopic surgery done, because I tore cartilage and broke part of my knee cap." Cambria said the recuperation period was very frustrating for her. "The pain was awful then and still sometimes now," Cambria said. For sophomore Jeff Patti, he was not
even playing a sport, but it sometimes affects his tennis. "I was leaning against a rail and it was not attached. I fell back and hit my head with my knee following," Patti said. "The surgery option is not there for me, because the pain and swelling in the knee is not consistent," Patti said. "Everyday I am affected by it. I 'know that my knee could easily give out." "I started to take a shot at the goal and the goalie came out of the cage to block me, I stepped forward with my left leg and the goalies pad hit the inner side of my knee," Costigan said. Costigan plays for th~ field hockey team. "I feel very lucky that the incident wasn't more serious. I am one of the lucky ones that does not have to worry about knee braces and I won't need surgery," Costigan said. Murray has to still wear a brace most of the time during practices and throughout a game. "It was tough to try and get back in and play the way I use to," Murray said. Being able to run again and do the other things she enjoys has made her appreciate the fact that she can run and play basketball again, unlike some people who will never be able to have a chance to do these things. "The first time I ran hard without the pain was awesome," Sciolla said .. When comparing the pain of his knee to other pains, Sciolla said that nothing hurts him anymore--nothing can compare to the massive pain he was in during the whole incident. Those who have suffered from the pain
of knee injuries say that it is true. During cold and damp days the arthritis sets in and their knees do begin to hurt and swell. "When it rains, my knee gets swollen and I will have arthritis when I get older," Cambria said. "It took me a very long time to try and play sports again. I have to wear a brace when I play anything. It gets annoying sometimes, but with the brace I am happy that I'm able to play sports." Lukasiewicz explained that after surgery there is a "reconstruction time that takes nine months to a year to completely recover and get your full strength back." Being mobilized for a certain amount of time can emotionally set in with an injured person. "All together I know I lost my lateral movements," Murray said. She feels sometimes she is more tentative, but also finds herself saying forget about it and pushing herself to the limit. "I felt like I let the team down. I was never injured before, where I could not move for a period of time," Costigan said. Cambria said, "During the recuperation period I had to have a lot of patience, because the knees are the hardest to get back into shape." "Rest is the best medicine, but the hardest for people to take. It is most important for full recovery from knee injuries," Lukasiewicz said. "A lot of people helped me out during the recuperation period,'' Murray said.

Cavsfalterintournament Shenandoah victorious indouble overtime by Bob Healey sports editor
-compiled by Bob Healey
Seven-Million Dollar Man No it's not Lee Majors, it's Chicago Cubs' second baseman and once Phillie farmhand Ryne Sandberg. Ryne recently signed a contract that will pay him an average of $7.1 million a year for the next,four years. To put this in perspective, let's look at some figures. If Sandberg has a carbon copy of last season, he will receive: $41,764foreachofhis 170hits, $71,000foreachofhis 100 runs batted in and $273,076 for each of his 26 homeruns. So much for the recession. Also if Sandberg were to donate one year's salary to Cabrini, 443 resident students could attend Cabrini for free. Looks like we have a pretty good candidate for vice-president of institutional advancement.

Watching him run in spring training at Sarasota, Fla. it is painfully obvious that he is far from 100 percent. However Jackson has acted with class throughout the ordeal.

The UnionStrikes Back As the playoffs draw near the N.H.L. players association has threatened to strike if its demands are not met.

The Flyers players union representative Terry Carkner said the Flyers players, in an act of solidarity, wo_uldbe willing to strike. The players feel they can hurt the owners pocketbooks the most by striking immediately before the playoffs.
Rebels Wanna Run Members of the UNL V basketball team have filed suit in state court to allow them to be eligible for post season play this year. The school is on probation an is banned from post season play. There are also rumors that the players may sue coach Jerry Tarkanian. The probation stems back to violations committed by Tarkanian in 1977. Most of the players were in second grade at the time. UNL V president Robert Maxson said the school would turn down an invitation to the tournament if they were to receive one.

Helloooooo sports fans. Tune in to Sports Source, Cabrini College's own sports talk show with hosts Matt Hodlofski and Matt McGeehan every Wednesday from 8-10 p.m. on 89. l FM WYBF.
Coach John Dzik reflected on his first losing season at Cabrini and his team's 88-85 loss to Shenandoah in the first round of the ESAC championships and summed both up i_ntwo words. "Poor defense," he said. "In retrospect that was our season." The Cavs forced overtime on a shot by Jon Owens that tied the game at 66. The first overtime ended deadlocked at 79. Shenandoah hit a three pointer with 0: 10 remaining in the second overtime giving them a 88-85 lead that held up the rest of the way. Senior Mike Carrafa, in his last game as a Cavalier, lead all scorers in the game with 26 points on 9-16 shooting. Senior Jon Owens added 14 points. "I was sorry to see the end of [Jon] Owens and [Mike] Carrafa's career. However they went out playing very well, '' Dzik said. Junior Joe McGowan, once again, was the leading rebounder for the Cavs pulling in 12 and adding nine points of his own. The Cavs finished the season 11-15 as it broke ties with ESAC. The Cavs will participate in the PAC [Pennsylvania Athletic conference] next year.

sports editor
Basking in the Florida sunshine proved to be therapeutic to the Cavaliers ailing season as they picked up four victories in seven games over spring break, raising its record to 4-10. The trip, however, proved to be occupational suicide for manager Bud Mellon. Upon return to the (215) area code, Mellon was informed by Athletic Director John Dzik that he was being replaced as skipper of the team. "The team has been a disappointment both on the field and off," Dzik said. "The incident in Florida is just the straw that broke the camel's back." The incident Dzik was referring to happened in Winter Haven. Ten membersoftheteam along with Mellon were arrested for disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and indecent exposure following a night on the town. At 2 a.m., a Florida state trooper· pulled behind the chauffeured vehicle the team was in and found 11 people, en masse, urinating on the highway and chanting obnoxiously. "We were wrong," Mellon said, "I take full responsibility for the incident. But I shouldn't lose my job over this." Dzik said he believes the team needs more discipline and they need to break the bonds of immaturity that has held them back all year. Dzik also announced that Jolyon Girard will manage the team for the remainder of the season. "He is an excellent ~aseball mind and will serve the school and team well," Dzik said. "I'm elated," Girard said, "I have the job [Jim] Hedtke's always wanted but couldn't get." Dzik also hit the media with a bombshell on Tuesday at a press conference. Dzik said he has been taking a night class at Cabrini and after meeting with his

lawyers and NCAA officials he has decided to make himself eligible for the remainder of the year through a loophole in the guidelines. "The best way to tum a team around is to roll up your sleeves and get dirty with them," Dzik said. "I will be the catalyst that turns this season around." Dzik plans to be in uniform on Saturday, March 14, when the Cavs open its league play at home versus Shenandoah. According to Girard, Dzik will be the designated hitter and bat fifth. "I would love to have him play the field but he can't run or catch," Girard said. Girard also wondered ifhe could insert senior Chris Callinan as a designated runner whenever Dzik reaches base. "Assuming he will reach base," Girard said. Once again Cabrini and the courts seemed to be a popular topic around the ballpark in Florida. Cabrini was found not guilty in the sexual dis0 " 0 O 00 crimination case filed 0 00 0" by Melissa Landsmann. "We were happy with the verdict," John Rosenrosen, Cabrini's lawyer, said. "Landsmann was just not good enough to usurp Iacono, it's as simple as that." Carlo Iacono was elated by the decision and was found in front of the National Organization for Women building in Winter Haven chanting "Nanny nanny boo boo." Landsmann would not comment but her lawyer did say they planned to appeal the case. Graduate Lou Monaco lost his appeal to be reinstated for another year of eligibility. "What a joke," Monaco belched upon hearing the verdict. "Oh come on, I was robbed, can't you people see that," Monaco said. Monaco was escorted by courtroom bailiffs and has not been heard from since.
