Welcome to the Cabrini Book Store,cour-

tesy of the store's new owner, Follett Inc. Follett,a nationwidecorporation,selected by the College to run the bookstore in April of 1992. According to John Barclay, chief financial officer, "We could not find a professional bookstore manager with experience necessary to operate the bookstore in a way to benefit the students and the college."

Barclay said, "We did not go to Follett to make a profit." According to Barclay, in the past the bookstore has been at best a breakeven operation. Accordingto Barclay,Follett, which has more than 400 stores nationwide, rents the space from Cabrini. Barclay declined to comment on the amount of the rent.

"I'm a veteran," said Peggy Magliano, manager of the store. Magliano came to Cabrini with four years' experience working in college bookstores. "Our goal is to provide the students with a one-stop, get-everything-they-need store at prices they can afford."

According to Magliano, it was rumored the bookstore had lost money in the past through shoplifting. "Shoplifting of any kind will not be tolerated," Magliano said. "The company will prosecute."

When asked about past shoplifting in the bookstore, Barclay said that he had no proof.

Magliano will have astaffoftwo: Chenise Turner will be assistant manager and Senior Matt Capone will be a shipper and receiver.

begin to take responsibility for themselves. For many of us who live on campus. it is our first time away from the rules, regulations and supervision of our parental figures. In a sense, we are free.

The door is open for a great deal of personal growth and development. The current visitation policy, however, hinders our growth in the area of male/ female relations. By denying us the freedom to make our own choices regarding our guests, we are slighted the opportunity to establish our own standards and morals regarding the opposite sex. The new visitation policy would allow us to develop our judgment in these matters.

The new policy would also increase the level of security on campus. With 24-hour security, we will know exactly who is in the dorm and where. Visitors will no longer have to sneak in denying everyone knowledge of their whereabouts.

In terms of sexuality, the new policy will not necessarily increase promiscuity, since anything that can happen after I a.m. could definitely take place before parietals.

The new policy will increase positive relations between students and administration since the students will no longer feel as if they are being "treated like children."

The largest obstacle of the new policy consists of roommate relations.

Roommates wil I need to be open, honest and respectful of the "guest policy" in their individual rooms.

SGA's proposal should be adopted because it promises many positive outcomes for the students who pay to live here.

We are pleasantly surprised at the amount of school spirit that the student body showed by attending both Opening Convocations and the Raggae Bash in such large numbers. We hope to witness this support for campus activities throughout the year.

Students are constantly the brunt of the miscommunication between the business office and financial aid. This lack of interoffice cooperation all-too-often results in unnect;ssary complications for students. Let's try to work this out because we pay too much money to be worrying about these misunderstandings.

Pleading for help

Student leader speaks out against behavior

Editor-in-chief: Klmbet'lyM. Haban Managing Edtor: MaryJ-

To the editor: I was very disappointed on Saturday evening when the Radnorpolice came to shut down our annual Reggae Bash because of a noise violation. I was even more disappointed to find numerous empty beer bottles strewn across the mansion lawn after the crowd dispersed.

It is upsetting because I thought my peers on this campus had a little more decency than to blantantly drink at a public event and then not even dispose properly of their trash.

I will be the first one to say that drinking does happen on this campus but I have no respect for people who can't follow rules. It is common knowledge not to bring beer cans or bottles out in the open on this campus.

Violations of the alcohol policy are not negotiable.

I ask that you stop this now and take responsibility for yourselves and your actions. It's not fair to those of us taking time out to plan these events.

Next time take your trash with you so that your irresponsibility doesn't prevent SGA from being able to sponsor campus activities altogether.

Sincerely, Kimberly Marshall Fellow student and SGA President

Yeakel touts education, diversity service in commonwealth speech Yeakel said she is a supporter of this concept because it makes college more accessible to anyone who has the grades and motivation to go. It also make money available to the government to keep making loans, knowing it will be repaid one way or another.

According to Yeakel,the fed-· eral government has cut its funding to education in general, the states have also been forced to cut back their commitments, and Pennsylvania ranks last among the fifty states in its funding for higher education. The Clinton concept will help increase Pell grants, which have been cut back, and low interest tuition loans, Yeakel said.

Yeakel said supports this plan because it will supply society with an army of college educated people who can fill any kind of service job that is needed. "If we don't make college education a priority then we are going to be without the work force we need,.,

At a fund raiser for U.S. Senate candidate Lynn Yeakel, held by the Democratic Women of Philadelphia on Saturday, September 12, Yeakel discussed her stand on higher education. abortion, and also how important Yeakel feels it is to make college more attainable to all people. Yeakel, who experienced a victory in the Democratic primary elections is now running against incumbent Senator Arlen Specter on November 3.

Yeakel said higher education is an extremely important economic issue as well as a quality of life issue forth is nation to make a priority. She is a supporterofthe Clinton concept of the National Trust Fund.

According to Yeakel this fund would put federal money into a loan fund which could make tuition loans to students for colJege. These loans ~ould be repaid through a procedure of wages after school is completed or though community service, Yeakel said.

Council of Southern Pennsylvania and Leadership, Inc .. is pro-choice. She said she believes the government should not interfere with personal and private issues, such as abortion.

"I represent new leadership for the future, an opportunity to bring new perspective, new problem solving skills and new experience to a process that is not represented. It is clear that with 98 men and two women in the U.S. Senate women are not properly represented. There is a great perspective that is missing," Yeakel said when asked why she should be elected.

Yeakel said. the country needs all the skills and talents possible.

M.A.'s question salary slash

by Megan Flanigan

co-news editor Beginning this semester, the medical assistants' (M.A.) budget was cut to $5,000. This means that their salaries no longer include the benefit of receiving free room and board.

Dr. Robert Bonfigilio, vicepresident for student affairs said. "I made a decision that the M.A.'s would have a salary of a flat rate, rather than a variable rate salary tied to room and board." Bonfiglio said, the decision was made in the spring of 1992, prior !o the end of the academic year.

Director of Health Services Sue Fitzgerald said the budget cut was an administrative decision based on the M.A.s duties and responsibilities and it was felt that their duties were not as great as the R.A. position.

According to Fitzgerald, she was informed of the M.A. 's budget cut.

Fitzgerald said she thinks $5,000 is a nice reward. Fitzgerald also said she understands the M.A.s' concerns, especially the returning M.A.s because their award was less than they expected.

Judith Panasik. junior and M.A. said she thought the decision was unfair because she said she does just as much work as the resident assistants (R.A.) do on campus.

According to Bonfiglio. the R.A. and the M.A. responsibilities are not the same and can not be compared. "It's like comparing apples and oranges as far as I'm concerned," Bonfiglio said.

Panasik said, "If we are not the same, why do we have to attend the same functions as the R.A.s at Jeadersh ip camp?"

According to Panasik, no one consulted the M.A.'s about the decision. "They change the rules on us all the time without consulting the students," Panasik said.

Senior Tom Foran said that he, like Panasik was upset that the M.A.s were not consulted on the decision like they were in past years.

"I think it stinks that they keep changing from year to year," said Foran. "I wish they would just settle it." Foran said the R.A. and the M.A. responsibilities are not the same. "I don't write people up, I just give band-aids," Foran said.

According to Fitzgerald, a committee was formed of R.A.'s and M.A's. to evaluate the R.A. and M.A. compensation and to compare the responsibilities of the two.

Bonfiglio said he had taken the information into account from the previous committee when he made the decision to cut the M.A.s' budget. "It's true that I did not consult them this year," Bonfiglio said.

Resident director Catherine Caulfield said both the R.A.s and the M.A.s have different responsibilities, but equally important.

According to Caulfield, the R.A. responsibility is more of a life-style.

"Ifs not a position you can turn on and off,'?.~~ld said.

Jeanie Dougherty, senior and R.A. said, that she agrees with the decision. Dougherty also said that if she were to see the M.A.' s do as much work as the R.A. 's, then she said she would be upset with the budget cut.

Senior and R.A. Steve Bobo said that the two positions can not be compared. ''F.achjob is done differently," Bobosaid.

KarenBell,R.A. andseniorsaid, ''lt'sareasonablecutthat'snottoolow."

Trish Loughran,M.A. said, 'There is nothing I can do about it now, but I wish we were told about it sooner."

Doug Eppler, sophomore, said, "The students here are responsibleenough to handle parietal-free housing. We know that other institutions can survive without parietals.

A senior who wished to remain anonymous. said that a change would make things more difficult for less assenive residents when dealing with roommates who have male visitors. According to this student, the policy makes the decision for the student, because it is the college ·s rule, not the student's responsibility.

The unwanted-visitor problem was one concern voiced

and commended SGA for their efforts. Bonfiglio still had reservations concerning security and roommate relations. "I think our current policy is reasonable without being overly confining, based on these concerns,•· Bonfiglio said.

Bonfiglio. Caulfield and Kralle all voiced concern about security. Rich Kralle, director of security, said that the 24-hour visitation would require 24-hour security in the dormitories, which is not in place now.

Kralle said he had not studied the proposal and would not comment on the specifics.

continuing education student. "Maybe it's because I've been out of school for three years."

"Some of the books 1 bought last year are priced higher this year," said Molly Chesna, junior.

One example of a price increase is "Design Concepts and Illustrations,'' a textbook used with Introduction to Graphic Design. The book, priced last year at $45.95, is $51.50 this year.

In regard to the pricing concerns, Magliano said, "There is uniform pricing in this store. We will not inflate prices."

Gary Krupinski, regional manager of Follett, said that the price increases were due to a publishers increase of up to 30

percent. Krupinski said that Follett's prices are competitive. "We're not the least expensive but we're not the highest."

Krupinski spoke of plans to expand the store next summer. Barclay was more cautious. "If you can find me a room, I'll expand it," Barclay said.

Krupinski said, "It's a pleasure to be here on campus.

We look forward to a very successful year."

If only dte ~ lastedall yearforthenI would.,evertear.

Butso it pa die wbdlrbWa. andcomesIlle frost, mylo¥ewillbe lost.

Here I am just beginning my junior year at Cabrini and I must tell you that my schedule has already been overflowing with classes, meetings, deadlines, and tennis matches. Let me escape for a few minutes though, and think back to the summer of '92.

It is 5 a.m. and my alarm is blaring but I do not hear it. At least until my roommate pounces on me, screaming obscenities to get me to tum the annoying device off.

"OK! OK! I am up!" After 10 minutes of trying to stand up and balance myself, I begin to prepare for the work day. Two and a half hours is just not enough sleep for a waitress extrodinaire like myself.

Before I know it, I am in the sunshine breathing the fresh ocean air. My eyes are a little bloodshot and my head is still spinning from the night before but I cannot think of how deathly ill I feel, not now, not today.

There is work to be done, fun to be had, and sun to absorb.

I quickly jump in my car and speed off to my destination which is the Golden Inn where I am an employee, a dedicated one at that. Especially at 6 a.m. ! I arrive and am reminded of how late I am. What do they expect? It is the summer and it is my time to relax. Relax? Yeah right!

There are customers asking for more of this and a little of that. There are people complaining and adults insisting that their child is six-years-old and can eat for free off of our morning buffet. In reality the child

they are referring to looks 14 and is feeding his/her face like there is no tomorrow.

Finally, it is 1:30 p.m. and the work day is done.

I am beach bound. I tear off my waitressing uniform and expose the bathing suit I stuck on underneath and plop down on the hot sand.

What a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky and the water is 74 degrees. Too bad I do not have the energy to swim.

After 4 hours of sleeping soundly on the beach it is time to get ready for the evening.

My five roommates and I have plans to do some serious cocktailing with about 20 outside guests and then hit the hot spots. Shall we do the karaoke or go to ladies night?

Shall we hit the gig on 49th Street or 83rd?

Decisions, decisions.

Whatever the decision was that night I can assure you this: it is going to be difficult getting back into the tedious hours of studying. It is going to be hard not to think back to the days of water skiing, sailing, and jet skiing. Or the nights of quiet dinner dates or partying until the wee hours of the morning.

I-still ask myself how I got up at 5 a.m. in the morning. Even ifl had not slept the night before, I still had the energy to be the faithful employee that I was even when I was making very little money.

Well, maybe I made a lot of money but all the money I made I spent. Who knows?

What I do know is that I had a blast this summeron 76th Street in Sea Isle and now it is time to get back into the real world of Cabrini Life .

What a change of pace.

Camden Aquarium: sea life through the glass

by Brendan Noone co-sports editor

The Thomas H. Kean New Jersey State Aquarium at Camden is a major step by the state to rebuild the Delaware River waierfront and profit from its Philadelphia connection. The aquarium opened its doors to its cross-river nieghbors on Feb. 29, 1992.

Since that time the two cities have opened the Camden/Philadelphia ferry for the first time since 1952. The ferry links the two cities in a scenic eight minute trip across one of the most historical rivers in America. The ferry is a must see part of the trip. Tickets can be purchased on the Camden side at the ferry dock adjacent to the aquarium.

From Philadelphia, tickets are available at the Penn's Landing dock located directly across from the aquarium.

Fair Maid of the West, a swashbuckling romance about star-crossed lovers, written

by Thomas Heywood will premiere at the Walnut Street Theatre in Studio Three on Thursday, Sept. 17. 1992.

According to Actor, Tom Dragoni, Fair Maid of the West is about a barmaid who thinks that her lover is dead. Yet she must find proof in order to believe that he is truly gone forever. The barmaid rounds up a band of adventurers to sail the high seas in search of his body.

The play is a collaboration of their travels from Foy, England to Sayal, off the coast of Portugal, to Moraco where the travelers end up in the court of the King of Sez. Fair Maid of the West is an adventure trapped in a comedy then wrapped in a romance according to Dragoni. Although the play makes a few reference to Queen Elizabeth, which is customary for an Elizabethan play, the plot is easy to understand.

Men, women, and children of all ages gathered to get an up close look and feel of one of the world's most dangerous creatures. The "To Touch a Shark Tank" makes interaction between humans and sea life possible.

The tank contains rays , skates, and a three foot shark. Surprisingly, the shark was a gentle fish. It appears that the animal has been tamed as a result of living in captivity for over the past year.

The Open Ocean tank holds 760,000 gallons of sea water and a variety of fish from the New Jersey coast. This is one of the largest tanks in the United States, second only to Disney's Epcot Center.

Munozshares LatinAmerican"Voicesand Visions"

, Braulio Munoz' talk is entitled "Voices and Visions ff

by Kimberly M. Haban editor - in - chief

To kick off the Latin American studies program this semester, Peruvian activist and scholar Braulio Munoz will-address the campus community on the different voices from Latin American culture and how they can be compared and contrasted to those in America.

Munoz will be on campus Sept. 24, at 4 p.m. to share his experiences as a former Peruvian who organized Indians and labor workers in to unions.

Munoz said he was a left-wing activist and encouraged the people of Peru to speak up for their rights. For example, Munoz said he worked to change the Jaws regarding the rights of illiterate people to vote. According to Munoz, 65% of the population in Peru is illiterate and by not allowing them to vote the majority of the population is out of politics.

Munoz said he was also a journalist while in Peru. After a period of time he said he had to move his newspaper underground because he was too critical of certain poJicies. "I have been shot at and my office was smashed."

ln Peru there are two major political parties that try to control the country, the Shining Path and the military of Peru. The Shining Path is a group of guerrillas whose territory is the jungle of Peru. Both groups force people to join their groups, if they do not or do not offer information about the opposite group they are abused or killed.

Munoz said the Indians who live in the jungle migrate down to the coast. Munoz said "These people can't take it anymore.

Women are raped and children are abused."

Munoz said the Indians who migrate to Lima, the capital city in Peru, have no jobs, no education and no way of knowing how to assimilate into the culture of the city. Therefore the people are poor.

Although the situation in Peru may seem horrible, according to Munoz, America is going through the same struggle with cultural diversity.

Munoz traveled to Peru this summer. He said in the two weeks before he left 22 people

were killed in Philadelphia. The number of people killed in Peru was less than that in the month that Munoz was there this summer.

Munoz said. "There is a greater chance of being killed in Philadelphia than waJking in Lima."

Munoz said when he visits Peru his fam: ily asks if his children are full of drugs.

"Peruvians think Americans are all drug addicts,"' Munoz said.

In comparison to Peru, although America does not have the military violence the drugs and interraciaJ violence is just as bad.

Munoz has two children who are both trilingual. He said he took them around the country for three months in a car. "We drive and go to the ghettos," Munoz said.

Munoz said they have aJso lived with the peasants in Peru. "My children are extremely humble and much more tolerant than other people."

Women's Volleyball spikeSearlY season opponents

by Deanna D'Alfonso co-sports editor

This season women's volleyball coach Jim Harrigan has confidence that his team ca.'1win the PAC conference.

"We have a good nucleus and with a ne.wdivision we have a real good shot at making the playoffs.

Winning the division is within our reach," Harrigan said.

The team has five returning players and nine new recruits. Harrigan is looking for them to take an active role in leading.

"Knowing what we have in returning players, I'm looking for then to take an active role in leading the team," Harrigan said.

"With the PAC we're competing against schools which are not obsolete, they are more in our league an equal to our size, that makes us more competitive," said Harrigan.

He also feels that the team is P1ore used to the coaches this year as opposed to last. He feels last year was a transition for the team to become familiar with the way he and assistant coach Joe Malizia direct the team.

"We won our scrimmage against Eastern 3-0 and the team looked good. We made a lot of good plays defensively and offensively. We still have players returning from last season that haven't even been in a game yet," Harrigan said.

This allows Harrigan room to breathe because he knows that there is always someone on the bench waiting to get in the game aggressively. This gives the team an even better outlook for the season and they know they are able to beat teams in the PAC such as Cedar Crest and Del Val. "There are some teams we have never seen play, like Cedar Crest.

The division is definitely in our reach," Harrigan said.

The team met this weekend with apponents Cedar Crest College and won both of their games.Coach Harrigan felt the team had a strong serving game number two.

"Laurie MacAvoy had consistant setting in both games, " Caoch Harrigan said.

Jill Saam and Jen Paliaro each had one ace.

In the match againsi Delaware Valley , Cabrini won two of the three games played.

MacA voy had two aces in that match and Pam Weeks , three blocks.

Against Mulle'nberg College Cabrini did not meet with as much success. They dropped both matches to the opponent. ln its match against archrival Eastern the Cavs took all three games.

"The team looked very impressive," Harrigan said. Winning 156, 15-3, and 15-10 respectively.

This means that the team is now 1-0 against PAC opponents and 31 overall.

Harrigan was impressed with the control they took in the first and third games.

"Eastern got close and then we pulled away. In the third game they came close again and we pulled away," remarked Harrigan.

Impressive seemed to be the descriptive word of the day. Even the crowd impressed Harrigan.

"Itwasanicecrowdandithelped that everyone was out to support the team. It really boosted us," Harrigan said.

He also remarked that Weekes and Stephanie Eberhart played exceptionally well at the net and were very consistant with their serving game.

The team will participate in the Rosemont tournament on Saturday. They will not return to PAC division play until Tuesday September 29 when they meet Gwynedd- Mercy College at home.

"No,youcan goahead,I'll wait."

"No, really you can go. I'm patient, I'll wait."

Then I heard - "You in the Cabrini t-shirt you're next."

I always said that I was going to do it. I knew at the time though, I had to do it.

As I was riding up in the crane I felt as if there was no turning back.

The "Jump Miester" was explaining what I should do and how I should jump on the crane ride up, but as I rose above Rehoboth Beach and could see the ocean from 160 ft., I really was not listening to anything he was saying.

With 20 of my friends below chanting my name I knew that if I did not jump I would be the laughing stock of Rehoboth. The humiliation of not jumping almost seemed worse then the idea of the rope snapping and plummeting to my death.

The final instructions of the "Jump Miester were," After I count down 3-2-1 bungee, I want you to do a perfect swan dive off the platfonn."

I asked if I could thinkabout it for a second and he flat out said no.

Then he told me to step out on to the platfonn that projected about a foot off the cage.

The next thing I knew I heard the word "bungee" and then I jumped right off the platfonn.

As the blue tarp was rapidly approaching my face I squeezed my eyes shut and prayed that the rope would soon catch.

When it did recoil I opened my eyes and felt exceptionally relieved.

I still cannot decide which was more exciting, free falling with no resistance or the feeling of security when the rope finally caught.

After bouncing around for what seemed like forever I could feel the cage begin to lower me to the

ground.

Fieldhouse distant on horizon New president lays groundwork for future athletic complex

Scoreboard Week's Results Soccer cabrinl cabrlni cabrinl

Dict you ever want to shoot a basket in the gym, but had to wait until after midnight or later to do so? Or how about go for a swim But wait, where is thr. pool?

A new recreation facility at Cabrini would allow students to fulfill those desires plus many more. The facility would benefit the entire Cabrini community.

Allowing for such a campaign to begin would add to Cabrini in many ways according to the thoughts of athletic director John Dzik and President Antoinette Iadorola.

Iadorola said she feels that a new athletic complex would offer a competitive edge with other area schools who have these facilities. Beaver College has begun construction of a new state of the art field house.

Iadorola also believes in the theory, a sound mind means a sound body.

"I would rather see people, not just jocks, shooting baskets then sitting in their rooms drinking."

Coach John Dzik is hopeful that the field house will be a priority in the college's next capital campaign. Tentatively the field house will be constructed in back of and next to the chapel.

"It would be nice if after work if a faculty member wanted to take a swim that there was a pool to do it in," Dzik said.

Dzik also feels that with an upgraded

facility the physical education department could offer more programs.

Other area colleges offer swimming classes for gym credits. This could appeal to students looking to come to Cabrini.

"I think it's sad that we have people in college who don't know how to swim. It is something that could be taught here as a class, "Dzik said.

According to both Iadorola and Dzik the key in getting the plan off the ground is funding.

Gannon University just completed the kind of facility Dr. Iadorola said she would like to see at Cabrini. The cost of the 63 ,000square- foot facility was 5.5 million dollars.

She would like to see a two floor facility that would also house classrooms.

It would open up the world of opportunity for students to study sports medicine, a growing major in only a few colleges and universities as of now. It would also increase a major in physical education.

"The board is open to the idea but we need to raise the money," Iadorola said, "it is in a phase of development now and we are most desirous of a new sports complex.

Right now Dr. Iadorola is in the process along with the newly appointed Vice President of Institutional Advancement, Stuart Stabley, of getting together a board and attracting alumni and the board of trustees to donate to the cause.

The time frame in which the project could be completed is unknown as of yet.
