Collegeevaluatesladarola'sactionsin office

pho1oby Eric Barbusc,a

President Antoinette Iadarola meets with junior Danielle Harris in the president's office. Harris, Kappa Sigma Omega president, discusses ways to improve the next Parents Weekend with Iadarola. Iadarola has posted office hours for students, faculty and staff to share any problems or concerns they may have.

Students have commented on the new president's accessibility to them.

What's Happening

Dr. Antoinette Iadarola began as Cabrini's president on April 15 amid clamorings for change. Six months later students, faculty and staff, along with Iadarola herself, have begun to analyze the progress of an administration taking its first steps into a new era.

The vibrant and outspoken Iadarola feels she has met her first goal of getting to know the college.

"I've quoted Atticus from 'To Kill A Mockingbird' before because I believe that to really know someone you have to 'get under their skin and crawl around,"' she said.

In farnil iarizing herself with new surroundings, Iadarola did not limit herself to the 110 rolling acres of Cabrini's campus.

"Since the school doesn 'texist in a vacuum I've learned about the broader community outside of Cabrini also," she said.

Iadarola said she is impressed by the involved student body, dedicated and loyal faculty, hard-working and committed staff and a board of trustees that truly loves the institution.

"My own personal leadership style makes me want to know both the people of Cabrini

and the issues that are facing higher education today," she said. "I am confident that our institution is very strong and will deal with issues forcefully because of our internal resources- human, physical and fiscal."

Many students feel Iadarola has connected well with them. "She is always on campus talking to students," Tricia Foley, first-year student, said. "She has made a great effort to know everyone."

Foley, a Woodcrest resident, attended Iadarola's open forum in Xavier Hall last semester. Iadarola will continue visiting the residence halls in the future. Meeting with commuters is a priority because she feels she did not do much of that last semester.

When the campus lost power on Dec. 11, many students said they were impressed by the president's ability to handle the unexpected.

"She sat down with all of us at W oodcrest and made sure we had everything we needed," sophomore Jennifer Sgro said. "That really meant a lot because it showed Dr. Iadarola

Problemscontinue despitenewpresident To the editor: I am a studentleader at CabriniCollege,and feel that it is my obligation to air the concerns and problemsof severalstudents.

RecentlyI tried to make an appointmentwith Dr. Iadarolato expressmy concernsand was told to speak to another administrator. However, as most peopleknow on thiscampus,going through administrationat Cabrini is like going through a maze with no end.

I wantedto speak with Dr. Iadarola aboutthe problemsstudentsface in the businessofficeand registrar. I have recently shared in the same dilemma.BeforeI returnedto school my mother calledthe businessofficeandaskedhow much she owed forbothmy sisterand myself.They gaveher the amounts and she sent them the checks. I assumed I was cleared. However, the Saturday before classes started I received a letterfrom the businessoffice saying that I hadnot fulfilledmy financial obligation and all of my classes were cancelled.

When I arrivedat schooltwo days later,noone in the businessoffice could explain why I hadan extra charge that I was not previouslytold about As I made my way overto the registrarI began to seethatmy troubleshadjust begun.I wasclosed out of one of my classes. In the registrar'soffice severalother studentsand myselfwere nottreated with respect.Instead, we were treatedas thoughit was our fault that all this confusionoccUITed. My billsare alwayspaid on time. I wouldlike to know just once,before I graduate,that I won't have a problemcoming back to school.

I would like to think that if I'm paying the estimated$16,400 peryear, I would be gettinga littlemorerespectin return. I wouldliketo remind thosewho seemto make all this hasslein our lives that we are paying them. Without us, there is no Cabrini.

Sincerely, JudithA.Panagk

I also understand that people are being slaughtered unnecessarily. They're butchered by their fellow men, who kill because they are allegedly under orders to do so, fearing for their own safety.

The Balkan Problem has been going on for more than a year and what have we all done? Not that much. We wished it away, is what we did. We ignored the savagery because the public eye was far too busy to deter their attention from sensational or tabloidlike stories, having little concern for what was happening in the world. It infuriates me that for weeks Amy Fisher's saga exploded in the media arena, while children in the Bosnian town of Mosta lived underground, hungry and miserable.

I hate knowing a conversation about what Hillary Clinton will be wearing is more prominent than the fact that Nazi war tactics of torture, mass rape and starvation are being repeated in my lifetime and that little is being done about it. Ironically, it was Germany, an economically-strained nation, that first gave assistance to set up refugee shelters in this region, I'U admit thatmy interestin what is occurring internationallyhas only been sparkedover the last yearor so. Beforethatmy liferevolvedwithin 110 rolling acres and little else mattered. I barely watchedthe news or readthe paper becauseit was depressing. Yet depressionis not an excuse for ignorance.

I am actuallyan optimistandarealist.Ibelieve wishes do come true. I will make the same wish againwhenltum21 nextweek. I willmakeitevery year until it comes true. It will be tied with a promisethatI willpay more attentionto whatgoes on in the world Problems cannot be changed if they are ignored. They will not simply go away.

Discussionfocuses Leaders reveal on leadership issues best and worst ■

experiences

by Kimberly M. Haban

ed1tor-in-ch1ef Despite the pressures and high expectations put upon student leaders, there are reasons why they chose tQ be in their certain positions, whether it be editor of the yearbook, a resident assistant or president of the junior class.

Senior Dawn Timbario said she was prompted to become a leader by the people who were here when she was a first-year student.

Timbario said she saw how much energy those people had and it made her want to become involved.

The closeness of the various leadership groups is what made a leadership position attractive to sophomore Sherry Cannon.

Mark Mellor, junior, pointed out that the experience he will get as a leader at Cabrini will carry on into the future.

"I just want to leave my mark," said Junior John Quirus receiving a chuckle from the group of fellow leaders surrounding him.

Quirus explained that he would like to come back a couple of years after he graduates and hear people say, "Hey this is a really cool policy." Quirus said he could respond and say "That's because I worked on it."

Sophomore Doug Eppler said he thinks being a student leader is a great way to give something back to the school.

The group agreed that most student leaders are strongwilled, opinionated people. As Eppler put it, "We're big mouths."

Charlyne Adams,junior, said "I have to put my two cents in.

I cannot sit back and keep my mouth shut, ever."

Aside from looking good on a resume the group said being a student leader reaps rewards.

Timbario said sometimes the rewards are not rewards she can see right now. "Like starting a new television show," Timbario said, "I hope it's here in five more years. That can be rewarding in the future."

Senior Jenny Igoe agreed.

She said she listens to WYBF now and thinks about how much better it is, not only from the AM days but even from last yearwhen WYBF first went FM. However, leaders do not have to wait five years to benefit from their work."Some of the rewardsareinstantaneous,"Eppler said, "If you can pull offagoodactivity,thatissomethingthat happened directlybecause of yourin-

more IADAROLA from 1 cares about students. She likes to be around us and isn't afraid to hear what we think."

Junior Dawn Weston commended Iadarola for getting housekeeping in the houses.

"Dr. Iadarola is different because she is very down-to-earth and interested in the students," Weston said. "She's getting used to her new position and the campus is getting used to change."

But change takestime. Dr. Valerie Hollis, associate directorof the CabriniOrganizational Management Program (COMP), agreed with Iadarola that any change in a college is gradual. · "The idea of change shakes up a lot of people," Hollis said "I think Dr. Iadarola is tremendously energetic and has beentackling lots of problems that need to be changed."

Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, has been working closely with the president. She saidladarolahasinstructedtheadmissionsstaff to recruit 235 first-year students for the fall.

According to Gardner this is an increase of 74 students from last year.

"Dr. Iadarola has raised the profile of enrollment management," Gardner said "She truly believes everyone on campus is part of the recruiting and retaining process."

Gardner said Iadarola has concentrated on financial aid and the CARe center.

"Dr. Iadarola has beenvery sensitive to the financial needs of our current and prospective students," ArleneDittbrenner,associatedirector of financialaid, said "I am fully confident that she'llcontinuetosupportoureffortstohelpthose families who need some assistance to attend college."

Dr. Arthur Young, director of the CARe center, said Dr. Iadarola has been very generous with college resources for CARe. "She also wants to know where I see the center in five years, Young said "She definitely has long term and short term goals for helping students. I've been quite pleased with her suir port."

"Dr. Iadarola has a strong sense of commitment to the college and is on the right track,"

Young said. "She has provided the school with a strong female leader role model. With some tempering she will be an excellent president."

Theater Director Neal Newman said he has enjoyed working with Iadarola because she has takenan active interest in the theater.

"With regard to 'Sexual Perversity in Chicago' Dr. Iadarola played exactly the role of a good president," Newman said. "She considered cancelling the show and then didn't That was just what she should have done."

According to Newman, if Iadarola encountered negative feedback on the show she has not let it affect the work in the theater.

"If she received flack for letting the show go on, like others told me she would,Ihaven 'theard a word about it," Newman said "Her availability and interest in all departments on campus should be highly commended," Newman said.

Iadarola said she is focused on identifying the core values of Cabrini within the next few months and will begin work on a

strategic-plan process.

"Like all colleges we' re learning how to do more with less," Iadarola said.

Iadarola said she is working for legislation that would grant more federal money for financial aid. This week, Iadarola was in Washington lobbying Congress for more college aid, she said.

"I want Cabrini to welcome change with open arms," Iadarola said. "To quote President Clinton, 'we need change not for change' s sake' but to preserve the values that Cabrini holds dear. Through change we can continue the richness that this institution offers."

Iadarola said she is anticipating her inauguration day on April 24.

"Any change is difficult because of the uncertainty," Iadarola said. "Such a period is a real leap into faith. If we stand still today we will fall behind."

While walking through one of the many hidden natural treasures of Valley Forge National Park, I began to revert back to my childhood years.

Those weekend trips to Valley Forge with the parental units, and an older brother who found his joy in beating me senseless, left me with an appreciation for one of this country's most prominent landmarks. I remember being so impressed, or as impressed as any five-year-old could be, at the sight of the Memorial Arch and the many cabins that remain from the Colonial Army's winter encampment.

However, now that I have reached the age of 21, I find myself wandering through a particular part of the park. A pine forest that most people aren't even aware exists. I realize that it isn't the familiar aspects of Valley Forge that enhances its grand allure for me. Rather, it's the hidden gems of nature, like this forest, that makes Valley Forge a worthwhile place to visit.

For tree-huggers, weekend couch potatoes and general admirers of nature, this park offers much more than the standard driving tour for tourists who pass through it.

On one particular day, I witnessed something that seemed indescribable.

Walking among the pines, I was frozen in my tracks. Thirty yards to my left, two doe and their fawn were feeding off the sparse floor of the forest. The mo-

One of two deteriorating stone cabins set deep in the woods of Valley Forge park. ment was almost too pristine to put into words. A sense of acceptance between the doe and myself was established as they allowed me to share their home.

As the deer ran off, I began thinking about all the people who rarely get to experience such an occasion as this. In a way, standing in that forest, reflecting on what had just occurred, I felt a sense

of oneness with Mother Earth. It was as though, at that particular moment in time, the stars and moon were in alignment and everything was right in the world.

On occasion, while hiking through the woods, you may happen upon some strange things. It's almost safe to say that if you go for a hike at Valley Forge,

the best trai Is are the ones that don't exist. Save the cement paths for your grandmother.

If you're going to the park to escape life for a while, trek through the woods. Your experience will definitely be enhanced.

Walking through a certain spot on a particular day, I came across an amazing find.

Deep within the woods there sits the remains of two homes that date back to the Colonial period. Both were made of stone, with wood supports for the floors and roofs. However, time and the natural elements have taken their toll. Though only the skeletons of the homes remain, I wonder what their inhabitants would have thought of our world today. With all things considered, it may be a blessing that it is' the homes, not the people, that remain.

The intertwining-/1.atural paths lead to the most mind-boggling places and things. Because most people don't take the time to meander through the woods. there is a good chance that you· II discover the undiscovered.

Whether it be animals or landmarks, the experience is inspiring.

For those of you asking, "Hey. all these places sound great, but where are they?," l' m not gonna' tell ya'. The best part of the whole experience is experiencing it on your own. What's the point of telling you where things are? I'm trying to coax you into finding things by yourself. Your existence is your own and so are the experiences you have in life. So the next time you find yourself bored with life in general, motivate your mind and soul and get in touch with Mother Earth at Valley Forge Park. What you find may not dramatically alter the equilibrium of your being, but it could very well help you find inner harmony.

Hell, it might even put a smile on your face.

Individual relationships; a look at female bonding

by Maryjane Inman managing and perspectives editor

Women are constantly perfecting the art of communication from the time they are young girls huddling togetherin the schoolyardto late night chats betweencollegeroommates.

Strong, personal communication builds friendships between women, who derive most of theirfeelingsabout themselvesfrom the way their friends talk to them and what secretsthey are trusted with.

"Secrets, sex, relationshipsand private thoughts'' are main topics of "girl talk" accordingto first-year-student JenniferPeacock.

Peacock said that she talks about the same subjectswith her close and not-so-dose friends. The difference, Peacocksaid, is that good friendsget all the details,while acquaintancesare only presentedwith a "rough outline" of what is going on.

SophomoreKathleenFoto saidthat she usuallydiscussesguys, sex,grades, school and family with her friends.

Juniors Beverly Griffiths and Monica Creamer have been roommates and close friendsfor two years.

Their late night conversations range from sex and guys to future plans, anxieties and fears.· Griffithssaid it is easy to talk about personal situations with her close friends because they know all about her past and she doesn't have to explainherself. "They know whereI am corning from,"Griffithssaid.

Junior Beth Mulvihill

by Rosanne Carfagno staff writer

She moves around the cafeteria stopping at every table to say hello and share a laugh. She catches up on the latestgossip, is willing to lend an ear and is a walking list of upcoming events. Beth Mulvihill is Cabrini's answer to the Love Boat's Julie McCoy. Mulvihill is a junior politicalscience major who serves as the Student Government Association's social activities chairperson.

Mulvihill enjoys her position as chairperson because she likes to see people having fun at somethingthat she put together.

She began in SGA last year as recording secretary but she said she did not find that position very rewarding because she missed the personalinteractionwith people.

Everywhere Mulvihill walks on campus people seem to know her.

"You can't have Beth's attention for more than five minutes because someoneis bound to walk up to talk to her," said Jennifer Yates, junior.

Mulvihill can be seen hangingout

in the SGA office brainstonning for future activity ideas.or in her favorite hangout the cafeteria.

As for future presidentialplans for SGA, Mulvihillsaysshe is very happy in her present positionand would not want to be presidentof SGA because it would involve more business than people oriented work.

Carter Craigie, professor of English/Communications said, "I have seen her over the years and have seen how she listens to people and cares about people and I think she has more spirit than any IO people on this campus.''

Gary White, sophomoreandcorresponding secretary of SGA said, "Beth is very open to other people but is reluctant to give herself any credit. She does not like to talk about herself and seems oblivious to the fact that people really like her and want to be around her."

In an hour time span in the cafeteria at lunch, Mulvihill was approached by numerous teachers, a multitude of students and those well wishers who just yelled to her on their way by the table.

Mulvihill answers to a multitude of names from "Loser" to "Puff' and, ofcourse, "Beth" (which is hardly ever heard). Everyone you talk to about Mulvihill answers with a smile and a laugh.

Melissa Massaro, junior and Mulvihill'sroommatesaid, ''There's never a dull moment with Beth.

She's always hyper and lively.

She's hardly ever in a bad mood and when she is she doesn't take it out on anybody. I wouldn't trade her for anything."

No one seems to have a bad thing to say about Mulvihill. Whether they say she is enthusiastic or eccentric the consensus is that she is a very special person.

Mulvihill admits that the only thing that seems to get under her skin is when people complain that thereisnothingtodooncampus. To those people she asks, "Give me ideas and I will try to follow through with them to the best of my ability."

One can only speculate the fireworks in eleven days when Mulvihill turns 21 on Feb. 8.

Flying south for the winter

by Dana Caterson staff writer It's that time of year again! Now that we have gotten back into the regular routine of school we cannot help but think of what to do or where to go over spring break.

Last year Christine Costigan, senior, and Danny Barracliff, junior, along with other Cabrini friends, decided to take respite in Panama City, Florida.

When asked how the vacation started, Costigan laughed and said she was supposed to take a bus tour down to Florida but the bus left without them. "We were then frantically trying to find a way to get there at last minute," Costigan said. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, "where there's a will there's a way." Costigan and friends were reimbursed and they spent the money on gas and hotel lodging.

Costigan had a great time. The hotel was right on the beach, a~well as all the nightclubs. Some of the hot spots along the strip included "Hooters" and "Spinnakers." What made last years break even better was the fact that Costigan turned 21 while on vacation.

For Barracliff going to Panama City was a vacation that will not be forgotten. He played in volleyball tournaments on the beach everyday, rented waverunners, and got up close with Marky Mark after his concert.

Neither Costigan or Barracliff brought any homework with them, so the entire week could be dedicated to the sun and fun Florida had to offer.

The only down side to spring break according to Barracliff was that it was a little early in the season. "It wasn't dead but it wasn't crowded," said Barracliff. "I think that if break was on the second week in March you'd meet a lot more people."

As for this year's spring vacation Costigan, along with many other Cabrini students, is planning to go back to Panama City. Barracliff, on the other hand, ready for a new adventure will spend his break in Myrtle Beach.

For senior Dan Barracliff and friends Panama City, Florida had the perfect combination of beer bongs, bikini's and beach volleyball.

Increasedpressureforcesstudentleaders to resign .

by Maryanne Walker,

assistantnews editor

From President Nixon, to Baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent, to Attorney General-to-be Zoe Baird, leaders resign and their reasons vary.

Several Cabrini leaders recently exercised the right to resign from office, among these Kim Marshall. past president of SGA. ''I was experiencing burnout. I tried to do too much. I should have realized my own limits after last year," Marshall said.

Marshall said she bad a bard time dealing with the pressures ofbeingpresident.

"My biggest problem is that I always have been in over my head, ever since 7th and 8th grades,"' Marshall said. "I've never had time for myself."

Now Marshall is taking time for herself. She is carrying 13.5 credits and baby-sitting four days a week and plans to have a lot of free time. Marshall said she still makes time for Kappa but is not active.

Marshall said that during her presidency she had no trouble with the administration. Marshall said there is red tape, and you have to follow procedure. But time is needed in order to get things accomplished, and things will get accomplished.

Mar!;hall said she enjoyed the time she had as president but felt the emotional and physical strains that this responsibility had on her.

"I wasn't focused enough. Often, I found myself imposing on others and wishing a specific person would become involved," Marshall said. "I was depressed and unhappy."

She said that there is a need for more student participation.

"Those who are in office can not do the job alone. Students must become more involved."

"When I did come to the breaking point of my decision, everyone was very support· ive," Marshall said. "People are great, and they still are.''

Junior Dana Caterson, past co-executive producer of FYI, also resigned her position because of orher opportunities extended to her. "[ dido 't want to resign, but because of certain opportunities I couldn 'thandle both," Caterson said.

According to Caterson, she was offered a job working for Bill Cosby's, •You Bet Your Life' and knew before Christmas that she would not bereturningto FYI. Caterson said Cosby's show was cancelled and another opportunity came up.

Caterson said Harron Cable offered her a part-time job as news director, anchor and reporter of a new news show that ls still in the works but will air Feb. 4 on Channel 23. ·-rm glad 1had the opportunity to do FYI here at school, but I do wish that the show would have been recognized more by the college," Caterson said. "TV is going to be the wave of the future.''

Another one of Cabrini's SGA leaders resigned due to being offered another posi-

tion, Junior Amy Wechsler. previous vice president of SGA resigned her position, to be a resident assistant (RA) in housefour.

"I resigned because of this opportunity.

Last year if I was offered this position I warned other members ofSGA that I would take it," Wechsler said.

According to Wechsler, beinginvolved with SGA was very time consuming.

Wechsler said once she left her room for c1assin the morning, she would not return until late at night due to meetings.

"Sometimes Ifelt I couldn't take everything. I just couldn't say no," Wechsler said. "I can't compare SG A to RA because I'm just getting started as an RA, so I don't know what I'm going to be dealing with."

According to Wechsler, people who complain to SGA members or to RAs are not willing to do anything. Wechsler said

"When I did come to the breaking point of my decision, everyone was very supportive,"

because of a communication gap between fellow board members_ "We were not on the same level," Monaco said. "I got no support for what I wanted to get done:· According to Monaco during elections in 1991 the executive board would not allow his name on the ballot because he did not hand in the letter of proposal.

Because of th.is Monaco said that he had his classmates abstain so that he would be elected.

Monaco did take office as president of the sophomore class, but due to the lack of communication felt he was wasting his time. Time, Monaco said, he could be using to concentrate on his studies.

"People in leadership positions have to know ~hat the majority of a class wants," Monaco said. 'Tm very happy that Chico (John Quirus) is president because he represents more of the general student at Cabrini. He does a good job and people respect him:• T .J. Roland, senior • would not comment on her decision to resign as RA of the McManus House.

· Kim Marshall, former SGA president if those people who complain are unhappy with a leader, they should go out for a leadership position.

Dan Monaco, junior, said he resigned

New visitation policy granted; students not satisfied

by Kevin Ohlandt associate news editor

Many students say they are outraged by the new parietal policy which allows houses 24-hour visitation but not the residence halls.

The policy, passed by the Board of Trustees on Dec. 18th, 1992, allows students in the houses to vote whether to have 24-hour visitation.

For students in Xavier and Woodcrest, visitors must leave by 12 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and I a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The only change is visitors can stay in the gathering areas for those buildings until 4:30 a.m.

The students who proposed changing the policy wanted 24-hour visitation in the dormitories and the houses.

"It's a weak attempt to try to please the students. The rule is ridiculous to begin with because this is not what we wanted," said first-year student and Xavier resident Matt Gallaro.

Resident Life Director Cathy Caulfield, who was in favor of a change, stated many people involved in the decision had concerns about students' respect of each other and peoples' need for privacy, as well as security.

"The people in the houses are able to establish the norms of what's okay and they are more assertive," Caulfield said.

Bonfiglio said "Students come to us at different levels of development and some studentsrequirea greater degree of support, or parameters of their behavior based on individual needs."

Bonfiglio also noted that no Catholic

colleges in the state, with the exception of St. Joseph's University in Philadel• phia have a 24-hour visitation policy and Cabrini's is better than some of the others.

The new policy is un a trial basis and will be evaluated at the end of the semester, according to Bonfiglio and Caulfield.

The idea for a new policy was first proposed by former SGA president Frank Emmerich in 1991. When former SGA president Kim Marshall took over this academic year, she continued to investigate the policy.

Last summer, resident assistants Eric Klansek, senior and Mollie Chesna, junior finished gathering the information and worked out a proposal.

Klansek said many factors were considered.

If 24-hour visitation was allowed in the residence halls, security would have to be increased, which the budget could not accommodate.

The proposal was further enforced

by Director of Security Richard Kralle.

An idea was proposed to have students leave their identification at the security office, but it was rejected by the Board of Trustees.

Caulfield he) ped out with the proposal by taking a poll of students in Xavier and Woodcrest. The poll indicated roughly 80 percent of the students in both halls were in favor of 24-hour visitation.

The proposal was then worked on in its' final stages with Marshall and Bonfigli~. Bonfiglio wrote what he called "a thoughtful response" and wrote a variation of the changes the students

wanted. The SGA and Bonfiglio drafted the final proposal and submitted it to the Student Affairs Committee. The proposal was then voted on by the Board of Trustees.

"This is a realistic experience for students.

Sophomore Kristyn Rudnick said "Any change is a welcome change but 24 hours would have been much better."

"They're great in the houses," junior Dean Marino said, "but they are horrendous in Xavier and Woodcrest."

Bonfiglio said "I hope students will recognize the role SGA had in this and will continue to support the SGA."

U.S. strugglewith Iraq sparksthoughtsat Cabrini

by Steve May assistant copy editor

Every president of the United States inherits problems from the previous office holder. This was no different for President Bill Clinton when he had to pick up the reins of George Bush's foreign policy decisions toward Iraq.

Clinton supported Bush's policy in the Middle East last week and promised to continue upholding the United Nations resolutions against Iraq while he was still president-elect.

Now that he is running the show, his decisions and choices on possible foreign conflict will effect the whole nation and may even have an impact at Cabrini.

The latest conflict between the U.S. and Iraq began when Iraqi mobile missile sites were detected in the southern "no-fly zone" around the week of Jan. 23. The "no-fly zones" were set up in Iraq to protect minorities and prohibit Iraq to fly in these areas. Iraq had also been violating other U .N. resolutions and had been invading Kuwaiti territory.

According to James Hedtke, professor of the history/political science department, Iraqi president Saddam Hussein had been violating U.N. resolutions and treaty agreements made after the Gulf War about two years ago.

Hedtke said that Hussein's "posturing" stance is typical of leaders in the Arab world.

"Those violations were probably meant to embarrass Bush during his last few days of office," Hedtke said. "It was slap in Bush's face."

After a week of Hussein's ignoring allied ultimatums and with rising tension, Bush ordered an air-strike to be held on the illegal surface-to-air missile sites and weapons plants on Jan. 13.

Although only one of the targets on the first strike was hit, Bush called the raid a success. Then, five days later, another strike was launched on weapons sites in Baghdad.

When asked about the way Bush handled the whole situation, Dr. Jolyon Girard, head of the history/political science department, said that the decision was reasonable and studied. Girard said that he was not quite sure if the military was successful.

"It seems clear that Iraq was violating the cease-fire agreements," Girard said, "and I might have felt more inclined to use more force than he did."

Many civilians were injured and a luxury hotel was accidentally bombed on the last two strikes on Jan. I 9. But Bush and the military claimed success.

Girard said he thinks that Hussein is to blame for the injuries. "Hussein is responsible for provoking American response," Girard said.

Finally, on Jan. 20, Iraqi officials announced that there would be no further breeches of the U .N. resolutions and the U.S. responded by calling off the strikes.

Hedtke explained that the drama played out was for real. In the Arab world the leader carries more personal power, Hedtke said. Each new leader makes personal policy and Hussein had to violate the agreements to save face in his region.

•

Through it all, Clinton supported Bush's actions, asserting that he would not change foreign policy toward the Middle East or re-open diplomatic relations with Hussein. In the Jan. 18 New York Times, Clinton said that Bush used an "appropriate and forceful response" to Hussein's aggression. "I fully support President Bush's action," Clinton said.

Both Girard and Hedtke agreed that Clinton could not just change his policy toward Iraq. "American foreign policy, unlike Hussein's, is institutionalized, not personal," Hedtke said. "Whether Bush was president or Clinton wouldn't matter."

Girard explained that American foreign policy is made up mostly by a consensus of public opinion. "Individuals don't form foreign policy," Girard said, "and Clinton is just falling in line with the long-term policy." Girard feels that Clinton will stay with the policy in Iraq, at least for now.

Clinton's actions in the Gulf could have an effect on students here. Senior Juliann Dunn feels that it is not good idea for Clinton to continue Bush's policies toward Iraq.

"New president, new tactics. The old ones obviously didn't work," Dunn said.

"I had hoped that things would change when Clinton became president." Dunn also said that Clinton promised change and would be violating his campaign promises by continuing Bush's policies.

Bryn Leon, a new transfer student to Cabrini, said he feels that what Bush did was right. "I think that Bush did it to make himself look good," Leon said.

Leon also felt that the media did a poor job in covering it and that most people are more apathetic to this situation than before.

Girard feels that the media may have over-covered the situation.

He feels that the media may have hoped more would have come out of the situation than did and therefore put to much emphasis on the strikes.

Girard also said that some stories are being neglected in the shadow of this story. "When's the last time the media did a story on the nuclear disarmament in Russia? Or Somalia? Or Serbia?," Girard said.

"There was no substantial threat to the U.S. and troop commitment," Hedtke said about the lack of media spotlighting of the bombing. He also said that because the attacks occurred at such a low-level that other stories could take more importance in the media.

"He went out with a bang!," senior M.A. Patty Zeller said about Bush's authorizations of the strikes. Zeller said she feels that it was a coincidence in the Persian Gulf that Bush could not pass up. "He capitalized on the opportunity.

But I, think that it could have been avoided."

Zeller also said that it was a good idea for Clinton to continue Bush's policies until he gets settled into his office. "I don't think that Clinton should keep them, but he should get rid of Bush's policies once he's settled in," Zeller said.

"It would be inhuman to think that Bush didn't want to take a few last shots at Saddam Hussein," Hedtke said.

In their game against Alvernia a minor injury may have seriously hurt the team's morale and performance. Dana Mills, first-year student, was responsible for getting the ball to all the players, but she had to sit out of Thursday's game due to a sprained ankle.

During the absence of Mills, another first-year student, Patty Carr, stepped in Mill's sneakers and became point guard for a night.

"It's not my position, and to be honest, I was nervous," Carr said, point guard.

Although point guard is not Carr's position, Keane felt she was strong against Alvernia.

MaryKate Fannon, senior, agreed with Keane.

Fannon, the "Cabrini Sharpshooter," leads the team in producing points.

Welde said Fannon is a consistent scorer.

lntramurals set for Spring comeback

· Lack of interest and unpaid fees wrecked the intramural flag foot~ ball program during the fall 1992 season. The Student Government Association did not want this to happen again. Forthatreason, only one intramural sport will be offered in the spring of 1993 and that meant deciding betw~n softball and volleyball. Intramural volleyball has beeneliminated.

According to intramural coordinator Beth Mulvihill, more interest was expressed for softball than volleyball. Most of the support for softball has come from people who played last year and had a really good time, according to Mulvihill. Mulvihill also cited that potential conflicts arise from scheduling time in the gym, which was yet anQtber strike against volley bat!.

Mulvihill. junior. and Scott Dorsey,resident director, decided that a meetingwill take place after spring break (after March 8) but a specific date has not been arranged. Teams must make a refundable $25 deposit and each player is required to pay $4 individually. After the money is paid, the teaa wt'll ~ inoluded on the roster.

The Cabrinidance ensemblelookingfor a few good members

staff writer

There is a club here at Cabrini that not many people know about. It is called the dance ensemble. The club gets together once a week to exercise, release stress and most of ~II have fun.

There are two students on campus who have taken it upon themselves to make a future for this group. Juniors Alicia Casole and Jennifer Yates are the ensembles organizers, along with members Ann Sexton, Patricia Reilly and Sherry Cannon.

Casole and Yates are in the process of trying to make the ensemble different by getting more people involved. The ensembles only performance so far this year was at Cultural Awareness Week, and the next scheduled one is coming up on Wellness Day. On Wellness Day, Feb. 4, the ensemble will perform as well as teach

the correct way to exercise. They will also demonstrate the dance steps of the popular club song "The Electric Slide."

The event wil.l take place in the Grace Hall Atrium from 7-8 p.m.

Although the ensemble is not yet an

official club at Cabrini, Casole and Yates are workiug on it. "Our top priority right now is getting a budget." Casole said.

"The number one thing we want to get across is that you do not have to be

an experienced dancer to be a member, " Casole said. "We all learn together and the entire group choreographs the numbers."

"Best of all, there are no tryouts and no embarrassments. Anybody with ideas is welcome and the main idea is to have fun," Yates said.

Liturgical dance is something that Fr. AmbroseCashman, campus chaplin, and Campus Ministry has expressed an interest in for religious events that take place on campus. Any one who has an interest in this area of dance may also enjoy being a dance ensemble member. " Dance is a great way to get rid of your stress and headaches and, most importantly, a way to have fun and meet new people. The ensemble looks forward to seeing some new faces this spring," Yates said.

Ann Sexton has been a member of the dance ensemble for three years. " I just like to dance, that is why I joined.

Other than a couple of ballet lessons years ago, I had no dance experience," Sexton said.

Cavs gain nationalacclaimover holidaybreak

Coach Dzik for the second time in three years was named National Catholic All American Coach .

by Kelly McDonald assistant sports editor

As the men's basketball season winds down to the final two home games, they remain undefeated in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (P.A.C.) with a 5-0 record. Their last three victories against Miseracordia,

Alvernia and Eastern were important wins that managed to keep them in first place of the P.A.C. Over the Christmas break Cabrini participated in the National Catholic Basketball Tournament in Dubuque, Iowa.

This consisted of four games, three of which the Cavs were victorious.

The Cavs made it all the way to the finals were they were defeated by Xavier. This

winning record exceeded Coach Dzik's goal of finishing the tournament with two victories.

In the first game against Rosary College the Cavs started off on the wrong foot but came back from being down 22 points to win the game.

In round two, against Sienna Heights, the Cavs were down by 10 points with three minutes to go. Brad Dever tied the game with 15 seconds left. According to first-year-student Mike Dever, the final seconds of the game were incredible.

"With one second left in the game Brad Dever stole the ball and the player on the other team was fouled. Brad went to the I ine and made the first shot.

He missed the second shot purposely so the clock would run out and we would win the game." Dever said.

Brad Dever received the Most Valuable Player (M.V.P.) award of the tournament. Dzik said that this is quite an accomplishment because there were I 6 teams in the tournament and Dever was selected as the best player above al I other players. According to Dzik, the M.V.P. is usually awarded to a player on the winning team.

First-year-student Nate Bowles said he felt the team played well in the tournament except for the last game. Bowles said, "The last team (Xavier) slowed us down but we still continued to play competitively."

First-year student Reggie Marant said he thought the tournament was fun because the general consensus of the fans was excited for Cabrini. He also said he liked the competitive nature of the games.

Eric Tidwell said, "I think the tournament offered good experience to us as players. I learned a lot about basketball. For instance, it was played different out there, it was rougher and more physical."

Dzik said he thought the tournament was a great experience for the team because they were away from home as a group and this gave them a chance to depend on each other. According to Dzik, the team put forth an excellent dfort despite the fact that they were playing teams that were ranked higher then them. "Each victory was an upset situation." said Dzik.

Coming off a second place finish in the tournament the Cavs returned to face Miseracordia.

Dever said the team started off sluggish but pulled together

as a team to win the game. At half time the Cavs were leading by four points and came back to win 76-59.

First-year student Billy Carr said that the key factor to this victory was the 34 rebound shots Cabrini took compared to the 28 shots of Miseracordia.

Against Alvernia the Cavs entered into halftime with a tied score. Carr, who led the team with 30 points, and a great team effort helped the Cavs pulled off a 90-83 victory. Bowles said, "We came out strong and lost the lead. Carr was very intense and this was definitely a team victory in which everyone contributed."

According to Bowles, this was an important victory for the Cavs because Al vernia is the second best team in the conference.

Dzik and Dever both agreed that the team is right on track with the goals that were set in the beginning of the year. Dzik said that every game consists of team work. He said that the entire team plays hard with winning a~ their goal, not individual accomplishments.

As the Cavs go through and play the division again, Dzi.k said he hopes that the support of the fans continues.

"We appreciate the support and it makes it easier when you know your fans are out there cheering the team on."

Marant attributes much of the team's success is because of Dzik.

"Coach is helping the team a great deal and he prepares us well for every game. He tells us what to do and we just go ou.t there and do it."

Dever expressed his optimism about the remainder of the season. "I think we will win the P.A.C," Dever said. "We have a lot of talented players which include the new freshmen as well as the players that were already here." Dever said it took the team a while to get used to playing together. He is surprised how good they have done against tough teams such as the Division II schools who have scholarship athletes.

Carr said, "I knew we had a lot of skilled players but the key to our victories is that we play as a team. There are no selfish players on our team."

"I would rather have brought home the first place trophy in the National Catholic Basketball Tournament then the Most Valuable Player Award."

moreweek frompg.12 This is a future that seems to be bright.

However, Fannon is not rushing into it.

She still has this season to enjoy.

Fannon said, "I am sad, because I realize that my playing days are numbered. I really do not want it to end."

Her senior season has been a real winner so far. In the newly formed Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, Fannon has continued her torrid pace.

She is second in the nation this season in three pointers made per game, and is averaging 17 points a game. The Lady Cavs are 10-3, following their victory over Eastern last Saturday night. Fannon led the way with eight three pointers and 29 points.

Dzik said, "The women are leading the PAC and barring an upset, they should wi'n the conference. Right now, they are in the driver's seat."

Despite a recent loss to Alvernia, the

Lady Cavs are hoping to continue their winning ways into the post-season.

Fannon is the main cog in the team's engine, but unlike last year, there are other players that can step up.

Fannon said, "I feel some pressure because I am a leader on the team, but a lot of pressure has been taken off of me because of the other players.

Sometimes, I am the go-to girl at the end of the game, but if I am having a bad game, I want to see someone else step up and take the shots. Our main goal is winning, and we have so far this season."

If number one is what Fannon is striving for, recent results seem to point to a winning season for the Lady Cavs, and the top seat in Division III for their long-range bomber, Mary Kate Fannon.

First-Year-Student Mike Dever gains control of the ball as two Eastern players follow behind.

byDoug Eepler assistant features editor Likethievesinthenight,theCavsof Cabrini swooped onto the floor of the Sacred Heart gym and stole the ball, the hopes and the game from the Eastern Eagles on Saturday, Jan. 23.

As early as the 8 p.m. tip-off, the Cavs had stolen the ball, passed it to

first-year student Eric Tidwell and watched their leading rebounder dunk for the first points of Cabrini• s 105-85 victory over the rival Eagles.

The Cavs never looked back.

Before a rowdy crowd, many of which were standing or engulfing the stage behind the basket, the conference leaders raided the Eagles defense and doubled their score in the first six minutes of the game.

After IO minutes, the Cavs' score still doubled Eastern' sand the halftime buzzer sounded on a 54-40 game.

The second half witnessed a miniature rally for the Eagles as they reduced the Cavs' lead to seven points in their first three possessions. Head Coach John Dzik quickly called for a time-out to consult with his squad. Within a few minutes, Cabrini again led by 15.

Much of the home-team's success originated in repeated turnovers and a lack of organization on the part of the visiting squad. Like an open window in a wealthy home, the Cavs exploited the error and averaged nearly nine points per playerafter40 minutes of fast breaks and three-pointers galore. Even Tidwell, who had yet to rack up a three-pointer, brought a smile to his coach's face as he, too, connected from the line.

"I didn't know if coach wanted me to, but I knew I could make it. I wondered before 'Should I take it, should I take it?' but I won't think about it any more," TidweU said.

Tidwell' s confidence mimicked that of the team and their coach.

Dzik said, "I expected to blow them out. I saw in scouting them what I saw Saturday. They play hard but they have some weaknesses."

Senior point guard Brad Dever agreed and added that he thought the team could have beaten Eastern by more. "We played IO guys.

They played seven. Every time we looked at their bench, they were out of breath while we were doing hifives. Playing like that keeps the pressure on and tires teams out.

"We knew at half-time that we were alright. I was nervous when they cut the lead to seven but we were confident the whole game.

Everybody played well," said Dever.

Among the more notable performances was that of Junior Dan Barracliff. The 6-foot-3 guard from Ridley High School wa~eight for 14 in the field and three for seven from three-point range. He led the team with 20 point~.

Dever said he looked to pass to Barracliff more m Saturday's game and added that Barracliff has been practicing well. "He was on fire," Dever said.

Eastern· s top gun of the night was senior Kenny CouU, who led the Eagles with 31 points for the night. Even more impressive was the fact that Coull played all 40 minutes of the game.

Dzik noted that the his pack of bandits concentrated on shutting out Coull. Dever noted that though he scored 31 points, he was only 12 for 26 in the field. Tidwell suggested "It was a quiet 31."

First-year Eastern student Antoine Harden followed Coull with 26 points. According to senior Frank ~ciolla, guard, many of Harden's points were the result of breaks and offensive rebounds. Sciolla added that Harden played harder than he expected and that he would like to guard the 6-foot-6 forward in their next encounter. Sci oil a, by the way. shot for 12 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

Dzik summed the game up when he said 'Tm glad it's over. It was a hard week forus. We've played all the teams in the PAC once. It will be harder next time. I'm happy with the team ·s performance. Even when we've lost, we've played hard."

Saturday's game threw one more item into Cabrini's bag ofloot: firstplace in the PAC. It is a prize the Cavaliers have pledged to guard and guard well.

According to Fannon, she continued to play basketball when she transferred to Wissahickon High School. In her sophomore year, she found herself playing fora top team.

By her senior season,she was starting and began to attract someattention.

When Fannon came to Cabrini from her home in PennUyn, Pa., she missed much of her freshman season due to injury. According to Athletic Director John Dzik, Fannon was injured before she came to Cabrini, and did not start the season with the team.

Fannon played in a few games, but was re-injured, and was forced to sit out the rest of the season.

However, because of her love for the game, she became the team manager and was able to travel with the team for the remainder of the year.

The few games that Fannon played in that season cost her a year of eligibility, and a chance at becoming Cabrini's all-time leading

female scorer.

She came back in her sophomore year and played for the Lady Cavs, but there was no indication of the break-through season that was on the horizon.

Last year, as a junior, Fannon found herself as the leading scorer on the Cavalier team, and by the end of the season, she was leading the country in three pointers made per game.

Fannon said, "I had no idea where I stood until Danny [Coach Dan Welde] told me that I was in the top 10. Thenhetoldmethatlwas number one. It was a great feeling."

Dzik added, "Any time that an athlete leads the entire country in any category, it certainly deserves praise."

Not only does Fannon excel on the basketball court, but she also exemplifies the term student-athlete. She will be graduating on time with a degree in fine arts, hopes to minor in education, and would like to go into the advertising field upon graduation.
