FederalCommunications Commission shocksWYBF byBelinda Desher arts & entertainment editor The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) made an unannounced first visit to Cabrini's radio station. 89.1 WYBF FM, on Wednesday. Feb. 24. Although WYBF violated some FCC regulations, no fineswere issued.

Frank Hurst, Electronic Technician from the FCC Field Operations Bureau,did not burstinto the station's on-air studio in a flashy suit, with a shiny silver badge, as may be expected of the ever-dreaded radio demagogues. Instead, Hurst.dressed in bluejeans and a green downjacket, looked more like he was ready to go fishingthan investigating,and waited patiently in the hall until Junior Maryanne Walker, disc jockey and traffic director, approached him.

According to Hurst. he was sent to do a spot check. It is FCC policy not to notify any radio station of an upcoming inspections.

Hurst checked the Emergency Broadcast system (EBSI equipment, the radio transmitter and license book.

FCC law requires board operators to be licensed for commercial or noncommercial radio stations. These licenses, or copies of the Iicenses, must be kept by the radio station.

First-year student Stephanie Bieg, the on-air operator during Hurst's visit, is a licensed DJ but did not have her Iicense with her. A $200 fine could have been issued to WYBF for violation of this rule.

Fifteen copies of licenses were not in the license book.

According to Charles "Bud" Mellon, communications cen-

ter supervisor. after the FCC visit the WYBF senior staff issued a mandatory ruling to all DJs. The staff decided that no DJ would be permitted to be on the air until copies of his or her license went into the book.

The book is now complete, according to Mellon.

Having di~functional EBS equipment can result in fines as large as $2,500, according to Mellon. WYBF's EBS transmitter has not been properly receiving transmissions from 1060 KYW FM. A new $600 transmitter is on order.

Other violations were minor. According to Bieg, Hurst said he was pleased with the station. Hurst's only suggestion was that WYBF's license book be kept under lock and key.

Shatteringthe illusionof sexualbehavior

by Christine Labroli staff wrtter

Liberal sexual behavior among college students today is often a direct result of alcohol abuse. Alcohol is believed rn be the most widely used sexual stimulant in America. It loosens and controls inhibitions. acting as an aphrodisiac by increasing sexual desires.

In reality alcohol is a depressant and interferes with sexual response. Although alcohol decreases response and pleasure, it plays a large part in sexual relations.

Eileen McAlinney, registered nurse and health educator at Cabrini, said whatever the drug of choice is, it breaks down resistance and leaves a person vulnerable.

Alcohol puts a person in a position where he or she may put aside values for the pleasure of the moment, McAlinney said.

"Too often people equate love with intercourse," McAlinney said.

Amy Burk. sophomore, said when some students are intoxicated. they go with the

flow of the atmosphere and enjoy themselves.

"You are only concerned with the here and now," Burle said.

Brian Greenburg. senior at West Chester University, i.aid when he is under the influence of alcohol he becomes more open with his feelings.

Greenburg said he never regrets what he says and does because the alcohol allows him to speak his mind more freely. ''The alcohol does not speak:' Greenburg said. "It just brings out my true self more."

McAlinney said that all too often students jump from the introduction to each other to bed. They leave out the cultivation part of the relationship and do not get to know one another. ·'Friendship is a predecessor to any intimate relationship.''

McALinney said.

Gina Lucchesi.junior at Penn State University, said communication with men is sometimes awkward and alcohol eases the tension.

According to Lucchesi, "Alcohol is a way to deal with life in a less serious way and forget your responsibilities for a few hours.

A lot of people use alcohol as an excuse for a regrettedaction by

saying'I was drunkwhen I did whatever it may be."'

According to the book "Sexual Interactions," a tex.tbook written by various psychologists, alcohol is widely viewed as a sexual and social lubricant.

Engaging in sexual behavior is more likely to occur when under the influence of alcohol. Behavior can be attributed to the effects of alcohol, then the individuals.

Burk said alcohol has two kinds of effects on her. One is being "buzzed" when she is out having a good time and not thinking through what she says.

According to Burk, the other effect is when she crosses the fine line and becomes intoxicated. Whenthis happens. Burk said she becomes louder and does not care about anything.

However, Burk also said she does not do things she would regret or would cause her to dismiss her values.

"I would not consent to sex. when I am in this state of mind," Burk said. "I still have a sense of control."

Frank Chiappine, sophomore, said he thinks eight out of IO ''hook-ups" are due to alcohol intoxication.

Ch\appine said some people regret the decisions they made

when in this state of mind. but if they are mature enough to drink, they should be mature enough to make responsible decisions.

When he drinks. Chiappine said the alcohol let~ him talk more and become more frank.

"My values stay with me when I am drunk. and l don't do things I wouJd not do when sober." Chiappine said.

McAlinney said one cannot talk about alcohol without talking about sex because they are so closely linked.

Although it is not only students who are sexually active.

McAlinney said they belong to the group that is at the highest risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases. The biggest threat is AIDS. According to McAlinney, at a college the size of Cabrini, the statistic is for every thousand students. two to three may be already infected with the HIV virus.

At a larger university, the statistics show that for every 1,000 students 10 may be already infected with HIV, according to McAlinney.

McAlinney said education and abstinence are the best ways to decrease risks. She said al-

though hundreds and thou:sands of dollars are granted by the government each year for the education of students, liberal sexually active behavior has not changed.

"Students need to come to the realization they can empower themselves to bring about change," McAlinney said.

Accordingto McAJinney.one way to educate would be to create group leaders, in the houses and dorms, to discuss ways to develop healthy relationships. ''They could discuss boundaries and expectations within a relationship, and learn how to relate to one another without intercourse," McAlinney said.

McAlinney said that with education and the realization that emotionally healthy people do not need a crutch such as alcohol to show their feelings, sex and alcohol may cease to be so closely related.

"I think we will see more and more abstinence in the future and people will ask themselves is it worth it," McAlinney said.

asst. ans & entertainment editor One woman. One strong and determined woman took her passion and made a difference that has changed many people's lives.

The MBF (Megan Barbara Flanigan) Center was started

by Mary Ann Flanigan in 1986. Mrs. Flanigan 's daughter, Megan, a Cabrini senior with Cerebral Palsy, was 15 when she participated in a Variety Club-sponsored pro-

was only a night computer program. The total number of students the first year was 30.

In 1990, the center switched to a day program.

"We needed to get people jobs and needed more concentrated learning in computers, technique, skills, professional practices and job training," Mrs. Flanigan said.

Currently there are nine students enrolled in the program.

Nine more students will be entering March 17. The instruction now focuses on filing, how to dress pro-

The MBF Center is a nonprofit organization and finally gained federal funding in August 1990 with a Carl Perkins Act Grant from the Department ofEducation. InSeptember, 1991, the center received anothergrant, this one was from the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation.

Senior Megan Flanigan works at a computer as part of her training at the MBF Center. gram in Pottstown that taught computer skills.

In Mrs. Flanigan's opinion, this program did not do enough for Megan. This is why the MBF Center began.

Mrs. Flanigan tried to get the Variety Club program expanded, but they did not see the potential of expansion and rejected the idea.

A fund raiser was held in I 986 to start the center. All the moneys raised came from the Flanigan family and friends. The first school was started in 1987 at the Episcopa I Academy located in Merion Township. The center began as solely a night program teaching computers.

The center grew to include classes at Notre Dame Academy in Villanova and the Shriner's Hospital, still it

fessionally, act professionally and other business techniques in addition to the computer skills.

The center also has a job placement program. In the pilot program, four out of five students received placement.

From the class of 1992, four students were placed, three are still interviewing and one is looking for a supportive none competitive employment placement. This means this student will never have the opportunity to advance in the job. ;'They try to find something each student is capable of doing," Megan Flanigan, the center·s namesake, said.

"I never really thought the school would be as big as it is today," Megan said.

The school was named after Megan because Mrs. Flanigan felt it would be a nice tribute to her

Tish Mogan said. "It gained footing in the community and moved along and grew. The Center means a lot to many people," she said.

Mogan said the Center tries to change and adapt their services to where they are needed.

The MBF Center received the 1992 Agency of the Year Award given by The Delaware Valley Project With Industry.

MBF was chosen because of its role providing computer training and business education to adults with physical and learning disabilities.

The MBF Center will be receiving the profits raised by the Student Government Association from the Superthon events.

"I think it is terrific that they would think ofus," Mrs. Flanigan said.

Sophomore Bob Macartney, Senior Kiersten Rasch and Junior Brian Siatkowski hang-out at the legal party held in the Widener Center Gathering Area on Friday, March 12.

Thelost weekend:

The Superthonthat never was

by Steve May

assistant copy edttor In the dimly-lit Widener Center Gathering Area the scene was social, yet chaotic. High-spirited students were dancing, drinking and canying on. The energydid not ceasewhen the Cabrini comedy troupe,Cavalier Attitudes,triedto take thestage. Their cries for attentionwere drowned by theloud noises of the revelers, so that they cancelled their show.

There was almost a desperate need for the crowd to cramas much funas possible into one evening. Ironically, "Friday's" was Superthon's last event due to the storm of the century.

Superthon is an annual event sponsored by the Student GovemmentAssociation (SGA). The weekend aims to raise funds for a local organization that helps the community.

This year's organization was the MBF Center. named after senior Megan B. Flanigan.

Gary White, sophomore co-coordinator of Superthon, said that after Thursday he was unsure of how the weekend would go. On Thursday, WYBF and SGA sponsored a "battle of the bands." The concert featured two bands and grossed $28.

The bands, Ice Nine, an on-campus band, and Napalm Sunday, were on stage for approximately two hours.

Only 14 people attended the event.

White said the reason for the low turnout had to do with a lack of promotion and publicity about the event. WYBF program director Chris Monaghan, junior, said that one of the reasons for the limited promotion was the lack of time between spring break and the concert.

The second scheduled event was the "murder mystery dinner" on Friday. This was cancelled because, according to White, there was not enough interest. The other event on Friday was the legal party, dubbed "Friday's." SGA scheduled a performance of the comedy troupe to benefitSGA's TAXI program. But, due to the noise level in the room,

the group basically gave up.

Sophomore and Troupe member Maureen Klement said they could not perform because they could not quiet down the crowd. ''I'm not ragging on these guys," Klement said. "I understand ...they're drunk."

SGA had hoped that 'Friday's' large turnout would have attracted people fort he other Superthon events.

And then it happened.

The worst winter storm in years blasted the Delaware Valley.

Dubbed"theBlizzardof'93" by the media, the northeaster blew acro~s the region with 60 mph winds and left in its wake 12-18 inches of snow.

Roads were closed, people were stranded and events were cancelled.

Those events included Superthon.

Co-coordinator of Superthon Joann Carbone, junior, said the reason for the cancellations was the fact that no one could get on campus.

All the events for the weekend had to be either cancelled or postponed, White said. Yet he said he had not been able to talk to all the parties involved to set definite dates for rescheduling the events.

Carbone said that the mud wrestling would have to be moved or held on a different date. She said that about $1100 would be lost if the event was cancelled altogether.

Other events up in the air arethe Rock and Jock softball game, the History Club's Jeopardy game and the tournament Twister match.

White said all money raisedby any event that is rescheduled from Superthon will goto the MBF Center.

At present Superthon has raised approximately $600.

Time to rank up the big boys in the music biz

release from the album. Kate Bush provides back-up vocals from her song "Cloudbusting."

Utah Saints are a techno-oriented group at their finest in "Trance Atlantic Glide." The Saints use a sample from lhe Simple Minds song "New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)" in a song with the same name. Although the Saints may not be well-known at this point, give them a try anyway.

Sting - Ieu Summoner's Tales ***1/2 The ex-singer from The Police released his fourth solo album last week, nearly two years after "The Soul Cages."

Ten Summoner's Tales is a further evolution of Sling's capabilities. The first release, "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You," is a sure-fire hit. Top 40 enthusiasts will Jove it. This album also has the song, "It's Probably Me," from the "Lethal Weapon 3" soundtrack.

A catchy tune which provides a guitar solo from Eric Clapton. One of the most potentially controversial songs on the album, "St. Augustine In Hell," will not be a favorite of Catholics. Sting blasts the Catholic religion with lyrics like "Blessed St. Theresa, the whore of Babylon, Madonna and my mother all rolled into one."

Utah Saints - UtahSajpts **** Although their debut album was released last year, it is just now becoming prominent. The Utah Saints do not use instruments in their songs. They use samples for their songs from various areas in life, whether it be animal sounds, machines or lyrics from past songs. The result is astounding and the proof is evident in ··something Good," the first

Paul McCartney - Off TheGround *** The veteran rocker who has been around since the Beatles phenomenon exploded in 1963 is back and he still comes out with decent albums.

Inhis first studiorelease sincethe 1989release ofAowers In The Dirt,OffThe Ground shows a

Me," to the parody of Ronald Reagan's presidency in "Land of Confusion," Genesis comes through for their fans.

One may wonder why the band's older songs are not on here, but they can be found on Genesis' last live album from 1982 entitled Three Sides Live.

The second album, subtitled The Longs, contains all of Genesis' long songs. The first song, titled "Old Medley," has excerpts from the older Genesis material, like "Dance On A Volcano" and "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway."

The topper of the album is "Home By the Sea/Second Home By the Sea." Warning: both volumes are sold separately, so bring a little extra cash, but do not fret, for it is truly worth having.

more politically-awareMcCartney.

"C'mon People" was written by McCartney and produced by George Martin, the former producer of the Beatles. The superb writing of progressive pop song writer Elvis Costello is infused in two McCartney/ Costello collaborations entitled "Mistress and Maid" and "The Lovers That Never Were." "Looking For Changes" will probably be the next hit because it has that distinctive McCartney sound that brings listeners back to the 70s when McCartney was larger than life.

McCartney seems unable to have largely successful albums. His style has definitely shifted over the years. This can be seen from his last three albums: Give My Regards To Broadstreet, Press To Play and Flowers In The Dirt.

McCartneyshouldsticktothestylesthatbrought him his biggest successes. But this man has more money than Cabrini,so he canuse whatever style that works for him.

Duran Duran - Duran Duran * 1/2 The kings of 80s synth-rock is back, and their latest release once again shows that their earlier success cannot be repeated. With the exception of the first release, "Ordinary World," which spent two weeks at number one on the Billboard charts in February.

The rest of the album is a vain struggle to achieve that early 80s sound once again. The sound Duran Duran had for their 1983 album, Rio, worked for that time, but it is now the 90s, and Duran Duran does not go over well with music listeners. If they stuck with the formula of "Ordinary World," they would be immensely popular right now.

Duran Duran fans may not recover from this one. So if you liked "Ordinary World," just buy the single.

Yoik accentand attitude.

Jesus Jones - Perverse *** After the success of 1991 's Doubt, Jesus Jones is back with Perverse. The first single, "The Devil You Know," is a haunting song with an opening that sounds like something from Egypt. But it works.

Other good songs, "Magazine," "Your Crusade" and "Get A Good Thing" all exemplify what Jesus Jones is about. The band aims to encourage listeners to be more aware of what is going on in the world.

Genesis-Live:

Van Halen- Live;Ri&IJt Here, Ri&IJt Now ***** In their first live album ever, Van Halen, minus David Lee Roth, proves that they are one of the greatest bands ever. The double album starts off with "Poundcake" from their last album For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. The band's live renditions of "Dreams," "Love Walks In," "When It's Love" and "Top of the World" are incredible.· Sammy Hagar is at his best in terms of vocal range and Eddie Van Halen just blasts the listener with his famous guitar solos.

Hagar offers an acoustic version of his hit song, "Give To Live." Hagar's versions of "Jump,""Panama"and "Ain'tTalkin' 'Bout Love" are extremely good.

They may prove that Van Halen is better off without David Lee Roth. This is one of the best live albums ever produced, so do not let yourself miss it. graphic by Cheryl Croce

On Friday, April 23, the inaugural planning committee will host an inaugural dinner with entertainment by Sharon Richards and Stuart Neill, winners ·of the l 992 Luciano Pavarotti International Voice Competition.

Inauguration day is Saturday, April 24 and will begin with a liturgy in the Bruckmann Chapel at 11 a.m.

In a press meeting held Thursday, March 11, Stewart Stabley, vice-president for institutional advancement, spoke of the origins of this inauguration.

"The idea ... grew almost with the very first day of Toni's (Iadarola) arrival at Cabrini."

Iadarola then addressed representatives from the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Delco Daily Times, WEAZ, WIOQ, WDRE, WUSL, and the Main Line Times.

"We count on your words to bring Cabrini to the world," Iadarola said.

Iadarola spoke of her revelations the first few months of her term.

When asked to which of the scheduled activities she is most looking forward to, Iadarola chose the presentations of Giovanni and Ellis. She said "I feel strongly that we should celebrate our diversity."

"Brother Ellis speaks to the strong commitment that our faculty have to the students," Iadarola said.

She also said that the liturgy is important to her.

"A Eucharistic celebration before my inauguration is a statement about me and the institution," Iadarola said.

Iadarola went on to say that the inauguration will feature delegates from institutions throughout the country.

"It signals a new era and the hopes and dreams for the future," Iadarola said.

Administration's view of the Cabrinistudent-athlete

by Kelly McDonald assistant sports editor They teach, coach, recruit, and register them for classes. Coaches, faculty, and administration all have their own image of what a student athlete is and should be.

Tennis coach Reggie Day, a teacher as well as a coach, said that the education received in college provides a practical foundation for an athlete. He said if the individual was not a student then they would not be able to participate in collegiate sports.

Day said athletics are just one facet of the college experience, but athletes can easily get caught up with their athletic responsibilities and can lose sight of their academics. He stressed the importance of academics because few athletes make it past the collegiate sports level.

Day said athletics act in a positive manner by helping new stu-

dents to become part of student life, ip the classroom as well as socially.

According to Day, athletics give students the opportunity to give something back to the school with their time and talent. "Studentsaren 't just reaping the academic rewards the college has to offer," Day said.

Day said Cabrini is building a good balance of what a real student athlete is. He said students are coming here to participate in a specific sport but the NCAA requires them to keep their grades up in order to play. "We don't have any dumb jocks," Day said.

Field hockey coach Joanie Quinn's opinion of athletes is that they are individuals who believe in themselves and are able to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. Quinn said a true student athlete is a person who is innately motivated and tries to achieve success academically as well as athletically.

According to Quinn, Cabrini stu-

dent athletes need to have pride in their at~letics. '"I think athletes should have a sense that they are proud to be a Cabrini athlete on the field."

Senior Christine Rakowski. office manager of financial aid, said an athlete is someone who sets goals for themselves. She said they are competitive, detemiined and want to be a team player. Rakowski said athletes are generally serious about the sport they play and are seen on campus as a group that possesses leadership. She said they also have characteristics of unification and she sited the lacrosse team shaving their heads as an example of this.

According to Rakowski, team unity is positive when it is necessary to be seen as a team, but athletes should socially interact with other members of the campus community.

She said athletes absolutely live up to their stereotypes, although the dumb jock stereotype does not exist

on this campus.

Rakowski recommends a time management class for athletes to help prioritize their busy schedules.

She said athletes participation in the team exceeds their participation in work or academics and they should try and find a way to balance them evenly.

Midge Leahy, dean of continuing education, upholds a relatively good image of athletes. Leahy said she sees athletes as committed persistent individuals with a great deal of character. She said athletes have the ability to maintain a healthy balance between athletics and what is important in life.

Ruby Remley, assistant professor and business department marketing coordinator, said she doesn't have a single image of what an athlete is. "A student athlete is someone who is developed in mind as well as in body," Remley said.

According to Remley athletes have to be skilled in team efforts and

working with other people. She said she teaches many athletes and some are good students and others are not, it depends on the individual.

Remley also said athletes stick together as a group. but that is no different then members of another organization sticking together.

"They all share a common base and know each other," Remley said.

Robert McGee, assistant professor and chairman of the math department said he does not see athletes as being different. He said they are more conscientious because athletics require a certain amount of discipline that carries over into the classroom. McGee said if athletes can work for a goal on a sports team they will be more focused when it comes to

academics.

McGee said athletes are just like any other organization but are more visible. He said it is good to belong to a team because it gives athletes a peer group they are able to relate to.

Accordingto McGee athletesshould be hereas students first, then athletes.

He said sports are a part of the college experience and can enhance what a person gets out of college.

Kathie Benner, coordinator of graduate admissions, said athletes are given a physical gift and the desire to make use of their gifts.

She said athletes have personal desire and a spirit for competition.

Benner said a big positive for athletes is that they pay better physical attention to their bodies then most people.

Nancy Gardner, director of admissions, said she doesn't see visible stereotypes that exist because she does not interact with athletes on a daily basis. She said she does think athletes are well-rounded, motivated individuals with the willingness to work hard. Gardner said athletes must have a positive mental attitude to compete successfully.

Dr. Dawn Middleton. chairman of the education department. said she sees athletes as a third dimension. She said she sees students as people and then looks at academics, then sports. Middleton said athletics are positive because it is one more responsibility student have to undertake.

According to Middleton the image of an athlete is artificial and is just a

surface.

Wykenia Cowen. assistant director of admissions, said athletes tend not to be the best students. Generally, she said athletes think they don't have to do as much to get accepted to college because of their athletic talent. Cowen said it depends on the type of school because if athletics are not top priority then athletes can focus on being better students. She said Cabrini is a small, individualized school and this gives athletes an advantage.

Cowen said the majority of the males play sports and are recruited by coaches for sports. as well as academics.

Athletes are viewed differently by spectators, coaches, facu Ity. administration and each other. But they all share one common image: they are all individuals who are dedicated to participate in a sport they take pride in.

Cabrini has ever had," Patti said.

According to Patti, when analyzing the team's performance it is very difficult to go over the team's weaknesses. He said they have a few but not as many as people might think.

He said the team has many strengths and everyone returning has improved 100 percent. He said the team's greatest strength is camaraderie. "We are all good friends and help each other out."

Patti said. '·When one of us is having a bad game the other 10 of us are there to pick him up."

Gordon said he expects the team to do well this season due to the amount of talent and depth the team has. He said the championship is well within the team's reach.

According to Gordon, the team's two biggest weaknesses can be inconsistency and theirtempers. "If we let our tempers get the best of us we will lose our heads and start messing up," Gordon said.

McNamara said he thinks the team is going to do well this season because they have a lot of talent.

Team unity is also an important factor in the teams success. Because the team thinks, plays and reacts better, and because they are all friends, according to McNamara.

McNamara said experience combined with youth will be a positive aspect for the up-coming season. "The veterans have seen us lose and they can coach the younger players so they can be good for years to come," McNamara said. He said that some of the team is young and playing on the team will give them the opportunity to grow and get their feet wet in collegiate competition. McNamara said this adds spunk and vitality to the team.

Accordingto McNamarathe only weakness the team could have is their temperament. He said they need to maintain there cool and stay focused.

Day said he cannot speak highlyenough about this year's team. He said the players have genuinetennis skill and talent.
