Clintonrecognizescollegeservice

by Steve May

assistant copy editor Cabrini College has been selected to be part of President Bill Clinton's program to change America's schools.

Cabrini, along with five other institutions, will serve as one of Clinton's National Centers for Community Service and School Change.

This, according to College President Antoinette Iadarola, will bring public attention to the campus and help to enrich Cabrini.

Iadarola said Cabrini received the honor for two major reasons.

The first was because of the scbool 's Seminar 300 level courses.

The courses require community service, and all full-time students must take it to graduate.

The other reason Cabrini was selected. Iadarola said, was that Cabrini has made real efforts to help wipe out adult illiteracy.

These inclltde Project Outreach and Cabrini's adult literacy program, in which students and faculty help teach people to read in prisons and in the community.

One of Clinton's !'Oals for education is to wipe out illiteracy by the year

2000.

Although Iadarola was unable to name the other institutions involved in the national center, she said that not all of them were colleges and that the other places selected would serve different purposes in the program.

The college's role in the new program will be to serve as a "think tank."

This will mean that Cabrini faculty and staff will be consulted on the topic of education on a national level.

Iadarola said this idea will allow Cabrini students, faculty and staff the opportunity to rub elbows with professionals who are interested in community service and school change.

According to Iadarola, she expects the college to become a place where

people of all walks of life could come together and talk about what they are doing on the cutting edge of education.

The center would bring speakers and interesting people to the campus, Iadarola said.

Mary Ellen Herzog, director of the Development Office, said that the college was selected about a month ago.

Iadarola announced the i;chool's being chosen for the national project at her press conference announcing her inauguration last week.

Herzog said the college is still negotiating terms of the contract for the college's role in the national center.

Neither Iadarola nor Herzog had details on the terms of that contract.

The college should officially announce the details of the contract by April I st, according to Herzog. Yet, she ~aid that the announcement's date \\a!> dependent on the finalization of the contract.

Iadarola said that programs related to the national center would be imple-

mented by the beginning of the next fiscal year.

These programs, according to Iadarola, have not yet been defined.

According to Iadarola, her desire is to start putting the whole project together soon.

The national centers are related to Clinton's campaign promise to allow college graduates to pay off their bills and loans by performing community service.

Cabrini would be involved in this somehow. but Iadarola said that she was not sure how.

Iadarola said that the Clinton administration still did not know how to put the idea of doing community service to pay college bills in place.

As to what has been planned for the center, Iadarola said she did not want to nail all of it down yet.

Iadarola did not want to put boundaries on the possible programs people could brainstorm. "And,'' Iadarola said, "we have to give people room to dream."

On March 31. Alumni Affairs and Careers Service<,will sponsor the Alumni Career Network Workshop between 6 and 8 p.m. in the cafeteria. The workshop is an infonnal meeting during dinnern hen current students have the opportunity to speak with Cabrini alumni about career choices.

Commuters are encouraged to take part in the discussions. Alumni Affairs will pay fortheirdinners, so commuters can benefit from the workshop.

Throughout the evening. alumni will reveal tricks of the trade in their professions. Helpful hints and suggestive tips will be passed from Cabrini alumni to present students.

The career fair also gives students the opportunity to network, which is an important aspect in getting contacts.

According to Kay Mosko, alumni assistant, the alumni are committed to Cabrini. "There is a wann feeling between the alumni and the college," Mosko said.

Alumni who are participating in

the event work on a volunteer ba\is. They will sit at the round tables during dinner to give recommendations and tips about entering the work force.

Last year. Mary Shimkus. 1992 Cabrini graduate attended the workshop and found the information to be beneficial. Shimkus said the two major themes she found to be the most helpful centered on types of interview question~ and the resume process.

The experience and infom1ation provided will fluxuate due to the ages of each of the alumni. The graduates may be as recent as last year, or extend as far back to the graduates of the I960s.

This year, there is a broad range of majors and professions that will be discussed during the workshop.

"There are a lot of alumni who are interested in participating and want to talk," Mosko said.

Stacey Norden, director of career services, helped with the selection of alumni for this year's workshop. It is Norden's second

RA criteria listed Scrappinglnman'slaw Resident assistants (RAs) play a large part in determining a student's level of satisfaction with living on campus. The selected RAs will be announced this week. There are 12 RA positions open for the 1993-1994 school year. _In order to ensure harmony among residents, it is pertinent that RAs meet certain criteria.

An RA needs to possess the capability to build a community atmosphere.

He/she must establish a sense of open communication between residents. It is pertinent that residents feel free to talk to their RAs and fellow residents.

RAs often build this sense of community through their programs. An RA must be motivated and creative. These skills will enable him/her to develop interesting programs that involve residents and give them the opportunity to get to know one another.

It is also important that RAs be supportive. Residents depend on their RAs to be their in time of personal crisis. RAs are looked upon as "someone to talk to" and must make sure that the lines of communication are always open between themselves and other residents.

Even though an RA has an obligation to carry out the rules set by resident life, he/she must be willing to be 'a voice for the residents. An RA must be the type of person who stands up for fellow students and reports dissatisfaction.

Most of all, RAs must respect their residents. Taking on an air of supremacy will only put RAs and their residents at odds with one another.

RAs can only hope to gain the respect of their residents by showing them the same courtesy.

Being an RA is one of the most demanding and stressful positions a student obtains. It is much more than just a title and free room and board.

An RA must wear many different hats, but the most important one they wear is for the students.

Iups and downs Dr. Feighan has returned! Welcome back. His students no longer have to worry about guessing who will be conducting class every time they walk into the classroom What happened to the Career Fair this time? The advertisements indicated over 40 companies would be present, but students were lucky if they had 20 employers to browse around!

Finally all that hard Sem 300 community service is paying off with more than that warm feeling inside. President Clinton recognizing Cabrini as a model college is great publicity for our college.

Take that Rolle Massimino!

I cartoon

maryjane inman perspectives & managing editor Make a ''list of things to do" every day. Never wear brown shoes with an all-black outfit. Eat fries no more than once a week. Only have sex within a committed relationship, with a man you are completely in love with. Always stick to the same driving route, even if you are told of a short cut.

These are just some of the rules my rules for life.

Got a few hours? I will run down the whole gamut with you. They range from standards of fashion to the "dos and don 'ts'' of having a good time.

While living out these rules, they make perfect sense. My standards are very practical and they facilitate my decision-making process.

Recently. however, I was forced to step back and recognize just how ridiculous living by the law really is.

It was around 3 a.m. on a Wednesday night in the newsroom not too long ago.

I was writing a major research paper and following my "work for an hour, take a IO-minute break,'' rule.

A~ I left the computer to sit down and relax for a few minutes. I noticed a friend leafing through my very-organized binder. I sat down and. naturally. asked what he was doing.

He looked up. smiling. with my daily "list of things to do" in his hand. He asked, "Do you do this every day?" I was kind of embarrassed and responded. '·of course," with that "doesn't everybody" look on my face.

We proceeded to talk about some of my other rules, and he laughed even harder. I honestly did not understand the humor in the situation. It all seemed quite logical to me.

Then he looked at me and told me in a very serious. concerned tone that I should consider loosening up a bit.

According to him, life was passing me by while I crossed off completed items on my "list."'

At first I was very offended.

How dare he question my ~ystem of dealing with life?

I carried his words around with me for a few days and continuously mulled them over. Taking his words to heart. l even tried to go through a day without a "Ii st."

I could not believe what happened to me. r was completely lost and terrified I wou Id forget to complete an important assignment or fulfi II a necessary responsibility.

It was only then that I realized how dependent I am on my rules and what they mean to my life, l use my rules to try to control my life. It all started freshman year. When most people go away to college, they let loose. In my case, I became anal.

This new sense of freedom terrified me. I was left on my own to decide right from wrong. I was afraid to lose control of myself and make the wrong choices.

So, l tried to safeguard myself against

the risks of life by devising a comprehensive set of rules that restrain any type offreespirit or illogical behavior.

It worked, until now. I am a junior in college and am finally realizing that I have no life. I do not allow myself to relax and simply experience what is going on around me. There is never enough room on the "list" to schedule in any fun.

I keep saying that next year I will let loose. Next year I will take time out for my friends. Next year I will hang out and have a good time. But, guess what, I said the same thing last year.

It is time I stop planning to enjoy life in the future. My life is going on right now, in the present, and I am missing out on a multitude of experiences, I do not think I should throw all my rules away. Some of them are actually relevant.

I just need to realize that I cannot control my life. No matter how structured of a pattern I desi,gn for myself, there will always be things happening that I have no control over.

I need to search for a happy medium.

Somewhere between my extreme anal tendencies and the free spirit of life lies a compromise where I can actually relax and also get things done. r am already getting better, though. I even abandoned my "daily list of things to do."

Now I only work from a weekly list!

Growingup,notapart lnnacurate ~eporting danielle dimarco assistant

perspectives editor As the lazy days of summer slowly passed by, two jubilant children enjoyed each afternoon to its fullest. The warm summer rays bounced off their rosy cheeks and the cool breezes blew through every hair.

They were young and innocent without a care in the world, or at least nothing of true substance.

As years progressed and time moved on, they grew apart in distance, but not in spirit.

Two months ago I got word from my mother that my younger sister Lianne wa\ accepted to James Madison University in Virginia. I wanted to throw my arms around her and congratulate her, but I couldn't.

I was too far away.

I called her to tell her how proud I was, but I wanted to tell her not to leave.

She couldn't leave. I needed her.

I may have left for college two years ago, but I always had comfort at home.

Comfort that there was always someone at home who cared and loved me so very much.

Lianne will no longer be home. I may seem selfish. but I do not want her to leave. I want to relive my childhood and experience youth all over again.

I hold my memories of our childhood

so dear to my heart. I remember summers passing and school beginning.

We pulled our hair back in pigtails and rushed off to the local elementary school. We shared a green vinyl seat on the school bus. We eagerly awaited to enter into the realm of school.

After the last bell sounded, we traipsed back home to talk about each experience that felt so new. Problems we had throughout the day seemed less important when we created excursions to our backyard.

Behind our property there is a clear brook where we could escape. Nothing could harm us through the blanket of ieaves the trees had created for shade. It kept us warm and shielded danger from affecting our daily lives.

As we grew older, we continued to tumble through fresh mowed grass.

Walks through our backyard eased our tensions.

Now, all that can be heard behind our house are the crickets chirping.

With this silence, I desperately grasp for the closeness Lianne and I shared.

While living in the same house, she could always see my dreams come true.

While attending Cabrini, I relate messages through phone conversations or letters.

Now I cannot see her grow as her dreams become realities.

All I can do is close my eyes and picture her next to me on the green vinyl seat trnveling back to grammar school.

Lianne and I grew up together, not only as sisters. but as friends. Friends that will last a lifetime.

One question posed asked us what the Core lacked, and what improvements could be made to make it better.

I wrote that the Core Curriculum lacks a solid education in the history and traditions of the Catholic religion.

As a Catholic college, this deficiency is a sin. There is not even a course about our own Mother Cabrini.

Cultural diversity is a strong feature of the Core Curriculum.

This feature I am not attacking.

It is sad, however. that Cabrini's strong Catholic traditions an_d institutions are not celebrated through course teachings.

The word "Catholic" means universal. It is a religi'>n rich in heritage and diversity. As college students we should get the best of its richness.

To the editor: One snow-covered March afternoon, I ventured from New Jersey to come to my old home, ·'the I00 rolling acres·•of Cabrini. I was nervous because this was my first visit since my graduation in May of 1992, and I did not know what to expect.

I experienced a major dilemma when visiting the bookstore. I went there to replace my 5-yearold tom and tattered Cabrini sweats.

Sure, there were remnants of yesteryear when Albert and Jen used to overstock the unpopular ·'Cabrini Mom/Dad" shirtsfor the holidays. They, however, were not even in our school colors.

The attire that did exist for the students was understocked and overpriced.

There was no familiar abundance of propaganda and souvenirs for prospective Cabrini student~ and alumni. No indication of the "Cabrini Spirit" that lingerson the rest of the campus could be found.

The store lost its collegiate atmosphere and now looks more Iike a textbook storagejungle.

To the editor: They cal led it ''The Storm of the Century." The entire Eastern seaboard was at a standstill. All the major roads were closed and side streets were impassable.

Thirty people in Pennsylvania alone, died during this blizzard. Most people around the area complained about snow and cabin fever.

What did Cabrini complain about the food service!

A few brave souls left the comfort of their homes and risked their lives to come to the campus so that the students there could get a meal. whether it be hot or cold. They left their children and families and slept on the cafeteria floor overnight.

Not one member of the college administration even dialed the phone to see if anyone was there.

Even more unsettling, the ·caf was first notified on Sunday in the late after-

noon, that the efforts of those who made sacrifices were not good enough.

Students said the "rationed," but hundreds of pounds of meats and cheeses, cases of juices, soda and snacks were distributed on Sunday.

The grocery stores were closed. The food companies had no employees. therefore, no deliveries were made.

The cafeteria staff did everything they could under the horrible circumstances and what did they get-a simple "Thank you?" No - criticism!

To the cafeteria staff and student employees who braved the ·'Storm of the Century." I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

And to those who criticized, I shame you.

I hope you never know what real hardship is.

Maybe you should go 10 Somalia for the next Spring Break.

Seniorslast SpringFormalaltered 'For Just a Moment'

by Bob Macartney assistant co-sports editor The Spring Formal will take place on Friday, April2 at the HolidayInn. This year's formalwill include the Senior Dinner at 7:30 p.m. and the dance . which will run from 9 p.m. until l am.

The choice of the Holiday Inn raised a few eyebrows aroundcampus, but SophomoreClass PresidentMelissaTobias backed up the choice.

Tobiassaid,"We wantedto have the fonnal at a differentplace thanthe past few years. It seems likeit is alwaysheldat the ValleyForge Hiltonor the Sheraton." Accordingto Tobias,the Holiday Inn is close, and there will be no problem with driving.It has a big dancefloor,whichwe felt was important,"Tobias said.

Not only is the sight of the formal changing. but there will be a new disc jockey as well. JAS Productions has been hired by the Sophomore Class to disc jockey the dance.

In explainingthis decision,Tobias said,"The last two companies which worked the formal have receivedcomplaintsfrom the students.JAS Productions have all the accreditationsneeded.

They have done events at Villanova, and once again, we felt that it was time for a change."

With all of this talkaboutchange,it seemsas if thatisthethemeofthedance. However,theSpring Formal will run under the theme of "For Just a Moment," which is from the soundtrackof "St Elmo's Fire."

As for thepriceof thedinner-dance,the Senior Dinner,as in past years,wiII be free for all seniors from Cabrini.

The price of the formal will be $17 if bought duringthe weekand $20dollarsif purchasedat the door.

Anotherchange from the Fall Fonnal is that everybodyfromCabriniwillbe abletoattend.'f!le mensbasketballteamwas unableto attendthe Fall Fonnal becauseof a schedulingconflict,and for a

The conflict had to do with the fact that the theatre had registered their date in the Student Seivices room-reseivationsbook, and since the formal is not held in a room on campus, the sophomoreclassofficersdid not check thiscalendar. However,the problemwas takencare of, and both parties are meeting to alleviate any future problems.

As forthedanceitself,the studentpopulationis split on their expectations. Junior Brian Wolk hopes that there will be more advertisingfor the SpringFonnal than there had been in the fall.

Wolk said,·'A DJ like the one they had at last year's SpringFormal wouldbe great However,

Both Wolk and Piekutowskicited broken glass on the floor and excessive drinking as problemsthat they hoped the students would deal better with this time around.

There will be two vans running back and forth to the Holiday Inn, with the second van starting around IO p.m., as the lacrosse team returnshome from a match in Virginia.

Junior lacrosseplayerBrian Siatowskisaid he was happy to hear the news that the team would be home in time for the dance.

Green's d·ream comes to life at Cabrini duct ion of "My Sister in this House," at the Strabismus Theatre in Chester several years ago. "We've kept in touch ever since," Green said.

"I chose Neal , ,. Green said, " because I think he's a genius as a director, and I was pleased he would agree to do the play."

After saying this, sorrow filled the skillful eyes of Green who has been going through a traumatic experience over the past two weeks. Accordingto Green she was anxiousfor her motherto seethe play.but a tmgedyoccurred.

A fire broke out in Green· s parent's home in Brooklyn where her father was burned to death. Her mother is currently hospitalized in an intensive care unit.

"This has had a tremendous impact on me at this time," Green said, "but I am happy with the play, the cast is encouraging. cooperative. and there is a welcoming attitude.

ln thedarkness a shadow lingersof an older woman whose solemn eyes lay fixed upon theperfonnerson stage.

Playwright Vivian Green's eyes have watched the actors for weeks, as they rehearsed for the world premier of "The Pact," a play written by Green and direc!ed by Theatre Director Neal Newman. ''The Pact" takes place in a Jewish girls' schoolin Krakow,Polandduringthe deplorable time of the Holocaust,from December 1939to January 1940.

"The Pact"is based on a letter published in the New York Times during I 943. The letter, according to Green, was most likely smuggled out of Poland and sent to New York during the Holocaust. "Although this story has not been 100 percent verified," Green said, '·the consensus is that it probably did happen.''

Green remembers the story being told to her by her mother in Brooklyn, N.Y. where she grew up.

The idea to put "The Pact" in play form first came to Green at a playwriting workshop at the University of Pennsylvania. Green said that she was always interested in the Holocaust. and is deeply concerned with the rising anti-semitism inEurope.

"I wantedtoexplorewhatitwasthatmade people participatein the Holocaust,"Green said. "I feel a greatdeal of angeraboutantisemitism.it has crept intoa lot of my works

as a general theme."

After the idea took form. Green received grants from the Theatre Association of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and the Dolfinger/McMahon Foundation for the play.

Four readings took place which helped to formulate the first production of"The Pact."

Post-reading discussions fired a debate as to whether the Holocaust should be forgiven or never forgotten.

Green chose to have the play here at Cabrini because of her relationship with Newman. According to Green, she was an assistant to the director in Newman's pro-

hopes for "The Pact". "I'd like it to go all over the world," she said. ·The play should be a spring board of the events in the Holocaust and the way people made moral choices at that time."

Green has had a full life. Writing plays, though has been Green's passion since the mid 1980s. She has been writing since the 1970s. Green said that due to her late husbands position as a physicist she has traveled to many places. During her travels she wrote articles which have appeared in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Saturday Review, among others.

Green has lived in Brooklyn; Chicago; Washington.D.C.; Holland; and Mexico. Green said she also spent two years in Israel and wrote an article on the "Yorn Kippur War" in Jerusalem during 1973, the time in which the war actually took place. Green labeled this experience as being very traumatic.

Several of Green's works have been awarded. One example of this called "Visiting Rites." received first place in The Play_ Works Company's one act play competition and also received the ·'Critics Choice" award in the Double Image Theater's 16th annual Short Play Festival in New York City.

Vivian Green's premier production of "The Pact," presented at the Cabrini College theatre is set during 1939 in a Jewish boarding durning the German annexation. The play runs March 26, 27, April 1 & 3 at 8 p.m. March 28 & April 4 at 2 p.m.

These are stories about people, whose simple, quiet deeds encountered by Cabrini students in Appalachia during spring break, may otherwise have gone unrecorded. Their acts of kindness are so small and so frequent that they may not be considered news. More important issues overshadow them. Accounts of robberies, changes in politics, fanatical cults or explosive wars make headlines, not small success stories about common folk making a difference.

But she is by no means frail or weak. Her friend. Jane Duffield, describes her as having a gentle exterior and a strong. street-smart interior. "She pretends to be such a lady but inside she is really a broad," Duffield said with a laugh.

For the last five and a half years she has been working with Director Jane Duffield and members of the Loaves and Fishes organization to provide food. toys and clothing to the people of Hinton and surrounding areas.

This is just one example of Nickelson 's selflessness.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Nickelson volunteers at the Loaves and Fishes office, a community center that helps the needy.

Simple, little things give the room character; like the plain plastic rocking horse with the blue saddle and the plant set by the window with an tiny American flag sticking out of the pot.

Instead of taking orders for food or clothes in the front room, Nickelson works in the back room. The shelves stocked with everything from green beans to grapefruit juice tower over her. On the other side of the room the shelves hold neatly stacked piles of unmatched sheets and clothes.

Nickelson tried to change the subject when asked about her age.

In Alderson, W.Va. the Newberrys, like the wild geese, stay by the Greenbrier River all year long. Not even the flood of 1985 could drive them away.

The Newberrys run the Senior Citizen Center from Monday through Friday.

Faye Newberry prepares hot meals for the 15 regulars she expects and a bit more just in case others come. For some, these are the only hot meals they eat.

Kermit Newberry·s job is to do what his wife, Faye, asks him to do.

The people come in for an hour or more each day to eat or talk or read and relax. The center offers a warm comfortable atmosphere.

Every six months they host a pie supper at the center. Each person brings a cake so they c~n go on a "cake walk" after dinner.

A "cake walk'' involves taking a partner for a walk in a circle with the other couple while music plays. When the music stops the closest person to a designated marker wins a cake.

"The cake walk originated in the preswing era, known as ragtime," Juliann Dunn, senior, said. "When the plantation owners hosted a party, they would literally walk and dance for cakes that had been baked by their slaves." Dunn had researched the ragtime era during her first year at Cabrini. She was sur-

Square dancing is another highlight at the center every third Friday of the month. The Newberrys try to find little ways to have a good old time. Their

vibrant, youthful spirit flows into their everyday life. It is particularly notice' able in their marriage.

"They still seem like newlyweds," Dunn said. The Newberrys still have a playful and loving relationship after 46 years of being together. Mr. Newberry

"We don't fight," he added, "fighting's foolish.''

Mr. Newberry, 77. is from Monroe County, W.Ya .. He met Faye Bowyer, 67. from nearby Riverview in May of 1946. Mr. Newberry·s cousin had married Mrs. ~ewberry·s sister. On day.

Mr. Newberry drove his cousin to Oakhill. W.Ya. and met Faye. They hit it off so well that summer that they were married on Sept. 12 of the same year. ··she fell head over heels for me,'' he said jokingly.

Differences in their religious faiths, is not a concern. ·•we don't let religion come between us," Mrs. Newberry said.

Since Mr. Newberry is a Baptist minister of the Masonic Lodge and Mrs. Newberry is a Baptist they go to church twice on Sunday. Their other interests are shared. They like shopping together or listening to gospel or country music.

Mrs. Newberry sited Billy Rae Cyrus' "Acky Breaky Heart" as a favorite.

The Newberry's immediate family includes their son and daughter and their two grandchildren but the friends at the Senior Citizen Center all interact like one big family.

Course selection limited: students stressing

by Ke1•i11 Ohla11dt

Some students have said they have had no problems with scheduling next fall.

For example, Howard Keller. junior political science major.does not mind the new schedule but he said that is not all the students have to worry about.

Keller said ,"Our library is not too good for history and political science majors.''

Senior Matt Macsisak agreed with Keller. 'The library is not good for any majors," Macsisak said.

The faculty such as Helene Hennigan, the chairperson for the foreign language department, said the lack of full-time faculty is preventing students from choosing foreign language as a major.

"The lack of a full-time Spanish teacher keeps students from trusting someone to advise them as a language major." Hennigan said.

James Hedtke, history and political science professor, said, "We don't have a larie enough staff in the history and political science department.

We have 80 to 90 majors. and only two full-time teachers. We need at least one more."

associate news editor

As students contemplate their major,. the question of scheduling and regi~t ration concerns them. For the faculty, a need for more full-time staff has been brought to attention.

This is the time of the year when first-year students, sophomores andjunior-s wrestle with times, classes and fulfil ling their major requirements and now new class times.

Students said they do not mind the new class times. but they have expressed concerns over course offerings and availability of classes. ··At the present moment all my classes will be at night," Brenda Augustino. sophomore marketing major said. ··This will be a problem because I will be commuting."

This type of problem for Augustino, and plenty of other students is trying to be rectified in the future by the registrar, according to Registrar Jennifer Hansbury. ··Registration this year is running very well," Hansbury said.

According to Hansbury, some problems have been that faculty have complained a lot of students did not make

'Students should definitely put down alternates to their classes, because not everyone can get into all their classes.'

-Registrar Jennifer Hansbury advising appointments.

Hansbury said the registrar cannot a_ccept registrations without an advisers signature.

According to Hansbury, some students have written down they are juniors when they are sophomores. These students' registrations will be pushed back until all juniors are through.

On the note of early morning classes, chairperson of the mathematics department. Dr. Robert McGee said. "We try to schedule our classes in conformance with the college guidelines, but many people complain they cannot do math well at 8:20 in the morning. It won't wake you up."

Toni Ann Bini, junior elementary and special education major said, ''It's hard for education majors to take classes because we teach on Wednesdays.·• Bini also said. "There should be more consideration for education majors.·· Hansbury said, "We went through the Wednesday course offerings very carefully.

According to Hansbury. the registrars office tried to make sure courses offered on Wednesdays had multiple offerings on other days of the week.

First-year student education courses were offered more. because they do not go off campus on Wedne~days.

Lisa Lipar, fine arts major, will no longer have to worry about scheduling classes needed for her major because she will be graduating in May.

Hansbury left advice for students on registration.

Hansbury said. scheduling is based on the needs of the college as well as the students. "Students should definitely put down alternates to their classes, because not everyone can get into all their classes." Hansbury said.

This makes it easier for everyone involved. according to Hansbury. "When you receive your confirmation of classes after Easter Break. check it over very careful I y." Hans bury said. "Computer error is possible, so make any changes on your drop and add form.··

Campuspartiesrequirefollowinghandbookprocedure

by CorinneEgan

staff writer So you want to have a party this weekend? Before you go ahead and start inviting 50 of your closest friends, you better dig out the student handbook that is collecting dust in the corner of your room and read

page 39.

It may surprise some of you that in order f!)r your party on-campus to be legal, your party must be approved.

The party policy, as stated in the 1992-93 student handbook, states, "An approved party is one that has been authorized by the Party Policy Planning Committee and the Vice President for Student Affairs. The group/association/individual is responsible for complying with the guidelines established by the Party Policy Planning Committee.

The sponsoring agent is held accountable for any violations of the set guide• lines. An unauthorized party is one for which permission has not been obtained."

This policy was put into effect in

September of 1992, but Cabrini has always had a "party policy". According to Vice President for Student' Affairs Robert Bonfiglio, "Parties were being held under conditions that put some students at risk and this worried us."

Bonfiglio and Frank Emmerich, former president of the Student Government Association (SGA), revised the party.policy.

"The new policy was designed with the idea of giving students more responsibj]jty for running a party," Bop.figlio said.

The Party Policy Planning Committee consists of the SGA, the junior class president, the sophomore class secretary and Director of Security Rich Kralle.

One faculty member is still needed. according to Junior Beth Mulvihill, social activities chairperson.

When an organization or an individual wants to host a party in a public area on campus, such as the Gathering Area. a student must first obtain a party request form from student services. · The form must be filled out with all the correct information and then submitted to SGA Executive Board President Mark Mellor. This request must be made at least

more ALUMNI from 1 year working with the workshop, and she encourages students to take advantage of the opportunities to gain referrals.

Norden said what helped her with the alumni selections was listening to the seniors convey their suggestions for the workshop. In September, senior class representatives met with Alumni Affairs and Career Services to relay student input.

Tara Kegel, president of the senior class. said the senior class suggested a variety of occupations rather than just business and education.

"Our biggest concern was including management alumni to help out with getting jobs," Kegel said. "That is what the workshop is for. To help students get jobs after graduation."

Some of the workshop.s in the past have not been successful. The reasoning was the intimidation factor. Many of the present students did not feel comfortable talking to the alumni.

Another factor was the date of the workshop. In years past, the workshops have been held over a weekend. Many students did not attend the workshops because they were not present on campus.

As of three years ago, 1983 graduate Carol Lynce began chairing the Alumni Career Network Workshop. She changed the format last year to boost attendance. She decided to have the workshop while the students were on campus. The best time frame was during dinner, according to Lynce.

As for the cafeteria atmosphere, the students are casually dressed. This creates an informal meeting between the-students and the alumni. The intimidation factor is reduced.

Martha Dale, director of Alumni Affairs

and Annual Funds, spoke about students not connecting enough in their departments.

Dale said the best resources are through networking.

Lynce said the seniors and the underclassmen benefit in two different ways.

First. the underclassmen can receive information about co-op programs or internships. Students may not be able to enter into their direct field. The alumni can then help them explore different areas in their majors. Lynce said.

Second. the seniors are able to set up contacts through networking. "The panic seniors feel is due to timing," Lynce said.

She also spoke of the pressure to find a job.

Lynce said the alumni are there for the seniors to receive job tips. "The resources are available," she said, "why not take advantage of them?"

Lori O'Fria, 1987 graduate, currently works for the DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company as a senior regulatory affairs assistant. O'Fria has participated in the workshop since it started.

When O ·Fri a attended Cabrini, the workshop was not offered. "You appreciate the hints that would be a help," O'Fria said. "! would have liked someone to help me."'

Last year, the Alumni Career Network Workshop was very successful. It had its highest attendance and an abundance of students appreciated the hints and tips they received at the program.

Mosko said quite a few students took advantage of the information presented by the alumni last year. "The alumni want to reach out to the current students." she said.

"More students should take advantage of the resources that are available ...

at:i-.

lO days before the scheduled date of the event. From there, the request goes through the Party Planning Committee for consideration, Bonfiglio said.

The guidelines for approval are: c:.:mtree people must be appointed for primary responsibility of the party.

OOne person must guard the entrance and properly card everyone who enters.

OOne pel'$on is appointed to the bar area to make sure only those of legal age are served. :J11ie third person must act as a general manager looking over the entire party and making sure the area is cleaned up properly when everything is over.

OThe people who have agreed to be in charge may not get intoxicated. A list of all names of people in attendance must be kept. □There is a limit to the number of people allowed at a party depending on the lpcation. For example, the holding capacity for the Gathering Area in the Widener Center is 130 people. □There always must be at least two security officers at a party and all parties must end by I :30 a.m.

"The purpose of the party policy is to promote individual responsibility," Bon-

figlio said. "It has been successful so far, although there are still some aspects that need to be ironed out."

Mulvihill agreed that overall it is a good procedure. "The biggest problem I have seen is getting everyone on the committee together atthe same time for meetings," Mulvihill said.

SGA said that so far they are the only ones who have gone through the Party Policy procedure with Mellor as their representative.

"It is not a difficult procedure to follow once you read the guidelines," Mulvihill said. "It can be tedious, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Mulvihill agreed that the policy definitely gives students more responsibility.

"Giving a security bond makes you responsible because you want that money back," Mulvihill said.

Jenny Igoe, WYBF station manager, said she went to the last committee meeting because WYBF wanted to be the host of one of the "Thursday's,' but that is the only as• sociation the station has had with the policy so far.

co-sports editor The Cabrini soccer team is beating this horrid winter weather with a bit of indoor action. Every Thursday night 12members of last years club gather together in the Great Northeast for indoor soccer. This is a chance to sharpen skills. get re-acquainted with each other and intensify team unity.

This i~ the transitionperiodwhich coach DuncanHubleyhasbeenpreparinghisteamfor.

Packedaway are the memoriesof the ESAC's champiooshipsof three years ago. Only three members of that team remain. This team is focusingon the future. They have three new captains,JuniorsJason Paolini,JasonGilesand SophomoreMikeTimms.anew goaltenderand a new look :;uppliedby the Wayne Tavern.

Accordingto captainJason Paolini,unityis one of the maingoalshe has set fortheteam this upcomingseasonanditisonemainreasonswhy theyare playingtogetherthisearly. "The more we play togetherthe better we become physically and mentallyas a team."

First-yearstudentJoseph Ricci,a native of thel\ortheastandindoorsoccer,believesthatan

It is a very positive sign."Junior Dan Bradley, a member of the Cavs for the past two years, organizedtheteamsthatplayat theWoodhaven sportsfacility.Accordingto Bradley,the league doesnotonlyrneanwinsandlosses,itisachance to get back into a competitiveatmospheretogether as a team.

So if you see a van-loadof Cabrinistudents, batteredand bruisedwith WayneTavern shirts on, do notget the wrongidea. It is a not a T AXl dropoffpoint.itisateamfocusedonchangeand a new beginningplayingsomewhereup north.

His room. at first glance. shows no hint of academic pursuit. The books do not jump out. They peek out from beneath a crumpled tee-shirt It cannot be missed that an athlete lives here.

Equipment lies on the floor. Practice clothes are strewn around the room.

Posters of various sports heroes and beer paraphernalia cover the walls. Just like his books, his academic habits are not easily visible Kevin, like most athletes at Cabrini, finds a balance between academics and athletics. Most athletes. however, find the balance is tipped toward athletics.

"I hate missing classes,'' junior Rosanne Carfagno said. "I would not miss a game. though. A game plays in your head. If you miss a game, you would sit in class and think that you should be playing."

Many students do not have a problem with missing class because they schedule classes around then seasons.

"It is my commitment to the sport. I schedule nothing bet~een 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. during tennis season.'' junior Jeff Patti said.

Some students will not place their sport over academics and have stopped participating. not because their grades are ·uffering_ but because the scheduling of their classes will not allow it.

"I got a 3.9 when J played tennis. It helped me to organize myself better, but I am here for an education. To miss as many classes as I would have had to would hurt me more than help.'' junior Eileen Doyle said.

Semesters. for some students. become increas~ngly more difficult in the progression from first to senior year. most need to discipline themselves early on.

Striving to keep grades intact at the average too continue to the next level as well as play a sport becomes a prominent goal.

"My priorities are a little screwed up right now but my professors are helping me. The hardest thing I have ever done is play a sport and do college level work," first-year student David Milli lo said. ·•It is tough because there needs to be a lot of dedication to both school and the sport you play. I want to succeed in both, and my grades will not suffer because I need them to keep playing Iac ro sse," first-year student Kevin

Besemer said.

Patti said his grades could drop off this year because his classes are more difficult but he does not think they will.

"I try to schedule around tennis but I can only take classes when they are offered, I am here for an education first." senior David Thompson said. Thompson said his grades are better during the off-season because he is playing almost every day of the week, spending an average of three hours on the courts during that time.

"If I had known I would be playing softball this year I would have tried to schedule all morning classes.

When classes only meet once a week it gets

'A game plays in your head.

If you miss a game, you would sit in class and think that you should be playing.'

-Junior Rosanne Carfagno tough.'' Carfagno said.

A common problem cited among the first-year students was adjusting to life away from home and the party atmosphere. One student who asked his name not be used said that "my sport has not affected my grades but beer has."

Students do not miss class without discussion with their coach and professors. Excused athletic absences are allowed in most cases according to athletes, however they can not miss the work given. Most said a game on an exam day means a make-up exam can be taken as long as arrangements are made ahead of time.

"You can al ways make up the work or the test," Carfagno said. Carfagno said if you miss a game you always think "I should be playing."

Besemer agrees that something can be worked out in missing an exam.

Midnight rolls around, people enter the Xavier Great Room to begin a night of ceaseless studying. Procrastination takes a backseat to thoughts that a four page paper is due at 8:20 that morning.

Kevin is in his room, books opened ready to labor over his paper. Like the separation of church and state it is time to trade athletic equipment for a word processor.

'"I have a sense of accomplishment when I play,'' Charlyne Adams, junior and two sport athlete said.

"I stay in shape, love the sport and love the competition. I also like to get my mind off my studies," Dyana "DJ." Glasgow. first-yearstudent softball player said.

There was a professionalwomens basketball team proposeda few yearsback and the organizers wantedthe womento wear spandexuniforms insteadof ·'regular" short/shirtsets. '·It is really tough to look femininewhen you are wearing a pair of sweats, running around sweatingwithyour hairpulled up and out of your face," Hoffman said.

"If anything, being an athlete has made me more of a woman by allowing me to work well at a team, to strive for perfection,willingto take on challenges, unafraid of the competition and handlingmyself with class and etiquette - not at all butchy," Maryanne Walker, junior tennis player said.

Dena DellaRocca, junior two sport athlete said she feels women athletes are more conscious about the/r appearance to break away from the typical female judgments. '·Just because you are a femaleand good at sportsdoesn·t mean that you are butch," DellaRoccasaid.

She also feels the worst stereotypes about femaleathletescomes from non-athleticwomen.

"I think girlswho havesomethingto say aboutus are jealous. I take great pride in my athletic ability," DellaRoccasaid.

"Why can't an athlete be a woman and an athlete," Hoffmansaid. "Why does it have to be one or the other?"

The Womens Softball team was 'defeated.in their season opener, a doubleheader, against Georgian Court College.

What the Cavaliers lost in runs they gained in spirit.

Coach Jim Hedtke said although the Cavs lost their first two games, they played intensely to the bitter end. ·'Throughout both games, we hustled and played with a high level of intensity. That to me is a good sign for future games," he said.

The Lady Cavs have only been able to practice outside a handful of times and their indoor practice has been limited to weekdays between 2:30-4:00. when the majority of the team is in cla,s. This in turn has affected the team negatively because the outfield has ·not been able to get adequate practice and the play is different outside then it is in the g) m.

According to Hedtke. the infield played well because they were able to p1actice everything indoors. He said

the outfield was a little shaky because the players were unable to get the feel for the depth of the ball outside.

First-year student D.J. Glasgow said the team needs help from the college as well as the student body in order to be successful. ·'No one can expect us to win if we are not even able to practice on our own field.'' said Glasgow. She said when the team arrived at their opponents field, the school had crews working on the field, sprinkling dirt and preparing it for the upcoming game.

Glasgow said Cabrini should be responsible for clearing the field so the team can practice and play home games.

Glasgow said this game was a step into reality for the team because they thought the would have done better. She said the team learned a lesson by going out for a game unprepared but she isn ·1 embarrassed by the loss ... lf we would have given up on Monday we would have given up the entire season."'

Glasgow said.

The Lady Cavs lost their first game I 0-0 and the second game 11-1. Both games were stopped after the fifth inning because of the ten run rule.

In the fifth inning of game two. Junior Ro~anne Carfagno hit a triple and

home with a !>acrifice fly.

Hedtke said, ··our one run was just as important to us as their 21 was to them."

Hedtke said all of the mis takes that were made are correctable. He said that the Cavs' hitting needs work because it is not up to scale. "l have good hitters but they didn't show what they could do," Hedtke said. He also said that a pitching machine is needed for when they have to practice inside.

According to Hedtke. the low points of the game were too many runs given away and the strike outs. Despite the scoreboard, the Lady Cavs did not give up. He said the players did not get down on one another and picked each other up when necessary. The high points of the game were Glasgow's catch and the run scored by Carfagno.

Aside from the lack of outdoor practice. the Cavs were missing key players. :Adams played pitcher because neither of the pitchers were able to make the game. Also. Georgian Court would have been a tough opponent to defeat because their team contained ten scholarship athletes. Cabrini on the other hand does not offer scholarships for athletics.

Sophomore Lisa Hedtke said that they had to get over the first game. She attributed the loss to the amount of practice they had outside. She said, "All things considering. we did some things well and other things not so well. We can't be disappointed because we only had four practices before cuts were made."

Sophomore Jen Bodick said she thinks the team learned where they need to improve and what they to work on. She said next game should be a better because they will be more together and work better as a team.

First-year student Jennifer French said the loss was expected because their practicing schedule. She said the team was also not used to the fast pitching they encountered against Georgian Court.

First-year student Niki Rose saict that although the Cavs lost they made a lot of nice plays. She said the best part of the gave was the high level of intensity that stayed throughout the players ... We picked each other up when something happened and stuck together through both games as a team," Rose said.

Hedtke said the loss hurt but the team learned what they need to do so it doesn't happen again. He said if Cabrini comes with all the players and proper preparation they can play well against any team in the conference.

According to Rose, in practice they are working on the things they did wrong. She said the team is going to the batting cages to improve their hitting skills and they ares trying to improve on fielding.

Glasgow said that they have the entire season ahead of them and they are lucky the losses are not going to hurt their record because they were not division games.

Hedtke said the season can not be judged by the first two games of the season. He said the \\Omen hung together as a team and he can·t single out specific key players. Hedtke said. "We li\.e as a team and die as a team:·
