Faculty unrest hits boiling point
'If there is a problem, I am not aware of it.' -President Antoinette Iadarola
by Kimberly M. Haba11 editor-in-chief
Issues like scheduling and governance diminished the trust between administration and faculty and are slowly destroying the morale of the college community. ·•1tis my feeling that the faculty perceives they do not have a role in the decision-making process," Assistant Professor of History and Political Science and Faculty Senate President James Hedtke said. In an attempt to resolve conflict, Hedtke sent a memo to all faculty and President Antoinette Iadarola calling for an open forum.
The memo stated ·'The purpose of this 'no hold5barred· meeting is to clear the air on several important is.\ueswhich have diminished trust between administration and faculty." The memo went on to state that the February 11 meeting would be a chance to "end rumors which were undermining the morale of the college community." However, one month after Iadarola attended the February I I no holds barred' meeting, she claimed she was not aware of faculty discontent. "If there is a problem, I am not aware of it, .. Iadarola said. Faculty members such as Dr. Kathleen Daley-McKinley, sociology department chairperson, said, "Yes, Iadarola knew about our concerns. We shared these concerns with her at a meeting." Since Iadarola took office in July, concerns have grown from faculty feeling edged out of their long-term role in issues such as scheduling. Hedtke said the faculty has had a longterm role in decisions related to academics. including scheduling. "Faculty woke up and they (administration) said here it is,'' Hedtke said, in regards to the new academic schedule. In response to the demands of the college community for an extended activity period. Jennifer Hansbury, registrar, said Iadarola decided to change the 12:30 p.m. - I :30 p.m.
activity period to 3 p.m. However, Iadarola said. "I had nothing to do with scheduling." According to Hansbury, a committee of faculty members and herself met in response to Iadarola·., decision and decided a 3 p.m. activity period would not be conducive to the needs of students. After examining ladarola's reasons for wanting a 3 p.m. activity period, the committee rejected the idea and drew up a nev. schedule. The new schedule placed the activity period in the middle of the day. thu, causing an 8:20 a.m. class to start at 8: 15 and end at 9:30 a.m., and a 7 p.m. class to start at 7: 15 and end at 9:40 p.m. Iadarola agreed. Another clash came soon after. when Iadarola decided faculty could not teach backto-back classes. For example, a professor could not teach an 8: 15 a.m. class, followed by a 9:40 a.m. class, and then hold office hours at 11 a.m. Dr. Joiyon Girard, history professor. said after he submitted his roster for next semester, Hansbury told him the policy was that he could not teach back-to-back classes. Girard questioned the policy. According to Girard, Hansbury told him the policy came from the "powers th'at be."' Iadarola was concerned about the quality of teaching in these classes and told Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice-president of academic

According to Hansbury, after <,hespoke with Girard, Biller told her the scheduling of back-to-back classes was a policy in development. Biller told Hansbury not to worry about it. Iadarola was unavailablefor comment on this. Governance is another issue that is causing conflict and confusion among faculty

It is 1:42 a.m. and students are still sleepless. Junior Kayce Pottichen joins sophomore Dominic "Sudz" Scioli in his room as he serenades her with original melodies. When Xavier turns co-ed next year, this could be a popular scene in lower level rooms, since males and females will be separated only by quads.

The nation is changing at a dramatic rate. A new president took offi<.:ethis year. Television allowed nudity during prime time. Cabrini College is making co-ed housing an option for residents. As the fall semester of 1993 rolls around. Cabrini will experience something completely new during this time of change. The lower level of the Xavier dormitory. both north and south, will be co-ed by quad. The upper level will remain female on the north side and male on the south side. There will be no co-ed residential houses and Woodcrest will remain single sex. This semester. residents filled out surveys at hall meetings. Resident assistants distributed forms asking students to respond to their likes and dislikes of the Ii vi ng conditions at Cabrini. The surveys also allowed student'> to write their personal opinions. Resident life received 210 forms with students· ideas and issues they wou Id
like to change on campus. One of the top answers they placed on the survey related to co-ed housing. According to Cathy Caulfield, director of resident life. she wanted to address students' ideas relating to the survey. She tallied up the results of the survey and gave the co-educational housing information to Dr. Robert Bonfiglio. vice president of student affairs. He then presented the material to Dr. Antoinette Iadarola. college president. From there a housing committee formed. The committee consists of \even resident students, two faculty members. members of resident life and Fr. Ambrose Cashman.campus chaplain. Cashman said he is happy the option is there for the students. "The greatest growth between men and women is to interact amongst themselves." he said. Dr. \ilarilyn Johnson.

I ups and downs --
The flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, the sun is shining and the temperatures are rising. No this is not the local weather report, it is a thumbs up to Mother Nature for letting us know Spring arrived. Since when does Cabrini have a fieldhouse? It is a gym smaller than most of our high school gyms. Next time you hold a sporting event, let people know that gym is synonymous with fieldhouse around here!
CQ
Great job E.S.A. (Ethnic Student Alliance) working the runway at the annual fashion show. For one hour Cabrini's Atrium was transformed into to a Parisian exhibition. Where did all the food go at the Spring Formal? There is bound to be trouble anytime the drink outlasts the munchies. All you are asking for is a bunch of drunk, hungry, cranky people.

I could fill a book the size of Webster's unabridged dictionary with all of the experiences, be they good, bad, or ugly, that I have had this year. Way back at the end of August, I left the wide open ocean for a cramped dorm room. I was bright eyed and ready for yet another year of the "Beenie-land grind," as my friend at University of Virginia puts it. With the sun shining on my face and a Rawson surfboard under my arm, I headed for the water ... then I woke up. That was back in the day. Before Loquitur, meetings, work, and, let me not forget, classes and homework. I have always been drawn to the beach. The ocean and I are a combination not to be broken. The ocean is the only place I feel free from everything. It is the only place I feel at peace. Even at the height of summer. with a m ii I ion people scattered everywhere, one spot is always vacant for me and
one wave is always waiting for me to catch it. I believe this is for a reason. I am a strong advocate in the belief that everything happens for one reason or another, and I learn from those experiences. Life is a canvas to scribble on. It is an abstract picture rather than an unblemished portrait. It took me three years of college to realize that the reason everything happens is not because of me. I have always set high expectations for myself and have always expected to succeed. This, however, has not always been the case, Sometimes it does not matter how hard you study, you may not pass the test. Yet there is nothing wrong with failure. It is just something you learn from. It makes me appreciate the successes more. When you fail. life does not end, time does not stop ticking. Even when you find success at something your ideas of it may change. You just pick yourself up, get back on the board, and get ready to conquer the next wave. You cannot go into the Atlantic without getting a little wet. Besides, who wants to stay in a boat all the time.

To the editor: I am a local resident who visited Cabrini for the first time on Friday, March 26. I had an interest in "The Pact," which I could only see at Cabrini. 1 was astounded at what I saw. The production was completely professional. The students have tremendous talent to portray such an array of emotions in such a demanding new play! Everything about the evening was amazing. Congratulations to all. I have one suggestion, though. If Cabrini is going to present the best theater in the area, it needs a better facility. The audience was uncomfortably crammed into a small room with plastic chairs. Many people were even turned away for lack of seats. Wake up Cabrini! Thanks again for an unforgettable experience.

more FACULTY from 1 members and administration. Both are questioning what faculty should decide and what administration should decide. "The decision-making process is very confusing," Iadarola said. "The question is what is the appropriate role of administration, faculty, the board of trustees." Daley-McKinley is chairperson of the governance committee. The committee is working on models for communication and decision making: According to DaleyMcKinley, a model should be in place by December. "The debate is between what is governance and what is administration," Daley-McKinley said. "Faculty sees so many issues as governance." Daley-McKinley cited the decision to move Biller from her position as vice-president of academic affairs to vice-president for enrollment management and special assistant to the president, without consulting the faculty, as an example. A memo was sent to the faculty from Iadarola announcing this change. This memo was the first word about this change faculty received. The memo also stated that the college is conducting a national search for a provost/academicdean. Accordingto the memo 'This restrucruring will position the college more favorablyin the marlcetplaceand enhancefundraisingopportunities.'' Iadarola concluded the memo
asking for prayers and cooperation with the restructuring. Hedtke said faculty is expected to support policies they were not involved in generating. "Ask me to be part of the process, not to support the policy afterward," Hedtke said. Assistant ProfessorofComputer Information Science Gerald Satlow said he thinks more discussion should have occurred with Biller's move. "I think she(ladarola) missed the boat," Satlow said. "She would have scored more points if she told faculty members as a group." AlthoughSatlowsaid Iadarolamay havemissedopportunitiesto bridgethe gap between faculty and administration,he said, "It is usefulandconstructive to be optimistic,let it be disproven and then changeone·s mind." Sallow also said when institutions have a change in leadership it creates anxiety. Sallow said anxiety was raised to a higher level because the previous president for 10 years, Sr. Eileen Currie M.S.C., was in many ways a benign leader. Dr. Jack McGovern,a<;sistantprofessor and director of the ma<;terof educationprogram,said the leadership styles of Currie and Iadarola are so different that faculty needs time to adjust. AlthoughMcGovernsaid Iadarola has had people come to her house for open discussions and she listens to people's ideas, he said the decisionmakingprocessis "very bizarre." McGovern said, "You find out a

more HOUSING from 1 faculty members who were present during the committee meetings. The students chosen to participate were obtained from a wide variety throughout the campus, Caulfield said. Juniors Patricia Daley and Mark Mellor, are members of Student Government Association. Daley said many ideas and suggestions were thrown out during the meetings. '"There was a lot of discussing and compromising," Daley said. She said she is in favor of co-ed housing in Xavier. Heather Laraway, senior, is involved in the housing committee. She helped devise the new lottery system when resident life changed hands under the direction of Caulfield three years ago. Laraway said she is kRowledgeable of the lottery system. According to Laraway, the survey gave the opportunity of change to the students. Sophomores Margaret Prout
and Cheryl Farley and first-year students Christine Calvert and Joe Koroly were also involved in the housing committee. They are residents on campus who are active in the community. David King, junior, said the idea of co-ed housing is a step in the right direction. King also said Cabrini has an institutionalized form of segregation between men and women. King said, ·'I feel this co-ed facility may break some of these barriers." As mentioned in the proposal sent to Iadarola, Bonfiglio stated, "Co-ed living has a positive effect on students intellectual and cultural development." In the resident life field, research was conducted on coeducational living, as stated in the proposal. The literature of the resident life field, as summarized by Gary Roberts, researcher of coeducational living, included information pertaining to the benefits of co-ed housing. Some points of Roberts'
study included the improvement of male social behavior, a reduction in vandalism, and secure living situations. Other findings showed male students tend to drink less alcohol, and sexual activity in coed facilities does not differ from sexual activity in single sex halls. According to Bonfiglio, a lack of co-educational housing would seem to place Cabrini at a competitive disadvantage. Research proves co-educational living is the norm at Catholic colleges in Pennsylvania, according to Bonfiglio. Of 14 Catholic colleges surveyed, nine offer co-educational resident life. Caroline Smith, sophomore, said it is important to try new things at Cabrini. "Students are mature enough to handle co-ed housing," Smith said. Caulfield said she knew the implementation would be very good for the s·tudents at Cabrini. "Hopefully things will work well and expand.'' Caulfield said. Bonfiglio also said he wanted to see co-ed housing in the houses. He said he would take things in increments. "We can go back to this issue next year." Bonfiglio said.

you have to immerse yourself into. The student might have a quizzical look and then will ask a question. Their whole demeanor changes. It turns them into critical thinkers, and l think they're never quite the same." One contribution of Romano that may not be known is the work he did to achieve co-education at the college. In the early I 970s Romano was the chairperson of the Council of College Affairs, a campus-wide advising group that handled various issues, Romano said. After a campus survey was completed that supported making the college co-ed. Romano's council recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the change. Thanks to the council 'sefforts, the board accepted the proposal. "If we'd had a long tradition for years and years, such as Bryn Mawr. then the change to co-ed would have been muchmoredifficult."Romano said." As it was, we were shaping our personality as an institution. I felt it was advanced thinking for us to have a realistic environment at the college." Romano said he is honored to receive the Lindback Award for the first time. His only regret will be not having the opportunity to voice his thanks for the award at graduation due to time constraints of the ceremony.

The 'evolution'of the Americandream by Katherine Ross
fearures editor Back in the day, after the second World War. there was a golden era. A decade that was simpler for most. A decade with fewer complications. In the poodle-skirt wearing days of the 1950s there was an optimi~m in the air. Many people thought they could have more, that the American dream wa~ in their gra~p.
The American dream of the past is gone. The idea of dad out working and mom home with the children has been demolished. In this day and age mom works, too. The children are sent off to kindercare. Even families with dual-incomes cannot make ends meet. The American dream has 'evolved· from the 1950s to the present. Gone is the high work ethic and the high moral standings
of a less complicated time. In 1993 our societ-y is faced with problems. Poor economic growth, a weakening family structure and morals with less boundaries then those of our parents are just a few. Today's Americans have to be more careful of everything. Whether they are worrying about being victims of crime or if they are going to have a job or not next week. Americans
have obvious barriers that prevent them from looking that far in the future. let alone plan for a bright one. The 1990s are not going to be a time in history soon forgotten. The evolution of the American dream from the innocent 50s to the turbulent 90s and what it means to the twentysomething generation is going to be the focus of this four part series in Loquitur.

the movies instead. • Balki Bartokomous 'PerfectStrangers'

Tradingin the hotelstay for adventurein a hostel "Indecent Proposal" flops
by Gary White asst. arts & entertainment editor
For those interested in traveling, hostds could be the way to go. They are located all over the world, and best of all, they are very inexpensive. Using a h_ostel, it is possible to stay in London for only $32 a night or California for$ 14 a night. Hostel accommodations around the world can range from a castle or an old hotel to a lighthouse, boat or tepee. A hostel usually consists of a room of beds for each sex, a cafeteria, single sex bathrooms and a common area. However, some hostels have more than just these basics. The easiest way to get involved in hosteling is to contact American Youth Hostels (A YH), a non-profit hostel organization located in Philadelphia. A YH is located on Third Street between South and Brainbridge Streets. Their number is 925-6004, and they can be reached between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. on MondayFriday or 11-3 on Saturday. After calling to make an appointment, you will attend a hosteling seminar that will explain what a hostel is and some things you will need to know on your travels. Some of these things are train schedules. ways to save money, currency exchange and what kind of back pack to use. Hostels were first begun primarily for youths
in Germany.
A Boy Scout
leader brought
the idea from Germany
to the United States. Now there are 200 in the United States alone. They are slowly moving into Eastern Europe. with one in Russia. The goal of hosteling is to bring different people and cultures together. In order to make sure the guests see the country's sights, hostels have a lock-out procedure. Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., the doors of the hostels are closed. Dur-
ing this time the hostel workers cleanup and count how many beds are available for the next night. Hosteling International, a world wide hostel organization, follows the lock out procedure. To use one of the organization's hostels you must first be a member. Membership fees are $IO a year for those 17 and under, $25 a year for people 18-54, and $15 a year for those 55 and older. There are also family memberships of $35 a year available. Some prices of Hostel International hostels are $32 a night in London, England; $14 in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; $20 in New York City and S9.50 in Philadelphia. The bigger the city, the more expensive the hostel. Some cities, such as London and Paris, have six hostels in them. It is possible to stay in a hostel in a small town outside of a major city for less money. The hostels organizations also help reduce air fare costs. Every few months they negotiate prices with the major air-

lines. Some time the reduction can be 60 percent off the normal ticket price. The decrease applies to students and youths. In hosteling, a youth is anyone 26 and under. School teachers also are eligible for these discounts. Spouses and dependents of students and teachers may be eligible as well. Senior Jenny Igoe went hosteling through England in 1984. "I enjoyed hosteling very much," she said. "I expected it to be similar to being in a hotel, but it was very different."

is
Igoe said the rooms were sparse. She had to bring her own food and prepare it in the communal kitchen. Everyone in the hostel was expected to pitch-in and clean the next day. The hostel Igoe stayed in was a converted old house. About_ 20-30 people were there, with the only adults being the ones running the groups and running the hostel, Igoe said. Upon arrival at the hostel, lgoe's group looked for the head of the hostel. This person assigns the rooms and the clean-up assignments the next day. Igoe and her group choose to use a hostel because it was cheap. In fact, Igoe believes the accommodations may have been free. Hosteling has spread to many countries since it began in Germany. But Noelle Dames, a former A YH employee, has a warning for those interested in the e~perience. "If you want privacy. hostels are not for you," she said.
Student directors take the limelight On Thursd!Y, April 22, Cabrini College Theater will present three studentdirected scenes. The first one is directed by senior Courtney O'Connor. It is from the play "Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare. In this particular scene Katherine, who is a cruel and mean young lady, is being wooed by Petruchio, a man from a neighboring town. He only wants to marry her for her dowry, which is very large because her father wi II do anything to marry her off. Petruchio is also attempting to tame the shrew in Kate. The second scene, directed by junior Dan Trotter. is from "Inherit the Wind," which is based on the Scopes-Monkey Trail. This scene deah with the two lawyers, Brady and Drummond, selected the Jury. The third scene is directed by sophomore Doug Eppler from the play "Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams. The play's main characters are Stella. her husband Stanley, and her sister Blanche. In thi~ particular scene, Stanley, who returns from visiting his pregnant wife confronts Blanche. who is living off the generosity of her sister and brother~in-law. Admission is free and showtime is 8 p.m. in the Cabrini College Theater located in the Grace Hall Atrium.
If someone offered you a million dollars to sleep with your significant other, what would you do? This is the basic premise of the new movie, "Indecent Proposal,"' starring Woody Harrelson , Demi Moore and Robert Redford . Harrelson and Moore star as a happily married couple who have suffered from the economic recession of recent years. Harrel.son an architect out of worlc:. Despite the hardships, they are the perfect couple- they have sex. they fight, and they make up. Harrelsonand Moore,fromCalifornia.,go to Las Vegas to try to win, money to pay their debts, otherwise, theywilllose the deed to their house. WliileHarrelson is winning money, Moore is looking at dresses in a very expensive store. Enter Redford as eccentric millionaire playboy, John Gage. He offers to buy Moore the dress, but she refuses. After the couple has lost all of their earnings, Redford asks Moore to role the dice for him ina game of craps, with a million doUars at stake, Moorerolls the magical seven, and Redford _offers a free night in the hotel for Harrelson and Moore. While playing pool with Redford, Harrelson and Moore are given "the offer" • a million dollars from Redford if he can have one night of sex with Moore. Without giving away the answer, the result has a profound effect on thelivesofeveryoneinvolved. The movie was fast-paced for the first 45 minutes, but after that it lost a great deal of steam. What could have been really good scenes were lost to endless, pointless dialogue that was not needed. After that. the movie just kind of ends. The plot is resolved quickly. after along, slow climb. This reviewer could not find one source that truly enjoyed the movie. Some just opted not to see it at all. Senior Tom Berretoae said, 'Tm not going to see that, it's just a dramatic 'Honeymoon in Vegas.' Also I heard Demi Moore used a body double." Others had a hard time with the believability of the characters. "Seeing Woody Harrelson in that role was different," first-year student Caroline Croley said, "I kept c-0mparing him to his role as Woody on 'Cheers."' Even though it lacked in plot, "Indecent Proposal" did make · people think. "It soundseasytohavesex with someone for one night for a mi!Hon dollars. But the movie shows the complications it can cause in a relationship,·• first-year student Jessica Funck said "It's not as easily forgotten as people think it may be," first-year student Gabi Nichols said.

Very much like his favorite major league ballplayer, Rod Carew, did; by downplaying his abilities and making it look academic. King believes that his age is a help on the field, not a hindrance. This aspiring little league coach and law school student believes his best coaching traits are consoling first on the field and acting later. "Listening more on a friend level really helps," King said. "It helps my rapport with the team, which is really important." The first base coaching box is already set for coach King next year. He is optimistic for the future of this club, sighting the youth of the strong point. "Most likely, I'll be around for the future."

Lacrosse hopesto win at home by Ambreen A. Alladin staff writer While most of Cabrini was busy primping for the spring formal at the Holiday Inn in King of Prussia, the men's lacrosse team was struggling in their match-up with Virginia-Wesleyan College on Friday. April 2. After a rough game, the score stood at I7-6. The team's record stands at 1-3 in games and 2-0 in scrimmages. The results have been slow. The missing elements essential for any team are , good weather, a team that works together well, and keeping minds in the game from the start. According to Alan Fitzgerald, sophomore and one of the team captains, "Everything we learn at practices seems to go out the window when it comes to game time. What we are taught and what we do on the field are two different things." Fitzgerald added, "We got beat by a half-decent team with a couple of really good players. If we go out there and play a full four quarter~. we can win. The problem is that we are not playing for one quarter and that is losing the game for us." Dave Millilo, first-year student. added, "If everybody does what they are told to we will win." Larry Foster, first-year student, agreed, "We are not playing as a team yet. It was our chance to get recognition and we messed u:p." According to Nate Carter, first-year student, "We really have not been able to get the practice time we have needed, with a full, dry field° because of the weather. If we show up to play the game and play with a 100 percent, we will win." However, the future for the lacrosse team still looks bright. Carter also added that Friday's game was "a lapse we hope we never have again." Fitzgerald added that there wilt be a Jot of changes. "It will be a surprise if we lose after all the changes are in place." The lacrosse team hopes to use the homefield advantage in its next two home games on Saturday, April 17 against St. Vincent's College at 3:30 p.m. and on the 18th against Wesley at 2 p.m.

by Brendan Noone co-sports edaor Leader of the Pack? Reggie White. the prophet of NFL free agency, picked a trump card over Easter break. Ttwas a $17 million jackpot in a city. Green Bay, which has a long tradition of family and unity. The key pieces which Reggie thought were missing were here in Philly. The Packers are the perfect team for this minister of profit. Itis ateanuaised by the people of this small Wisconsin town. The major shareholders are townspeople who back unions and support the dying blue collar cla~s. The definite flip side of a car salesmen from Miami. The winner in this battle for Reggie is most definitely the Green Bay area. Reggie is a hero for an people. He is the ultimate role model for the youth and a natural leader for the community. The loser is Philly. Reggie's impact as a citizen was so strong that even the mayor got involved. The community will greatly miss this role model for many of the cities underprivileged, but, as Steve Miller once said. ''Go on, take the money, and run.''

One may wonder what could attract people to walk for four to five hours. chasing a little white ball around manicured lawns, while dodging lakes and sand traps. Senior Chris McMahon offered this explanation. "I like it because it's outside. Some golf courses are just beautifully laid out." However.junior Eric Barbuscia said. "It's relaxing and I like hitting a little ball 200 yards." For those who do not understand the game of golf. the idea is to hit the ball, depending on the course, a few hundred yards into a little cup in the center of a green. In between the tee off and the cup lie little obstacles that range from lakes to sand traps to trees. Each of these obstacles makes life challenging and exciting on the fairways (the manicured strips of land between the tee off and the cup). The~ hurdles dare golfers to discover new and exciting ways around and over them. From choosingthe right golf club to angling the shot in the correct direction. the golfer must always be one step ahead of the shot. •·Jt"s competition with yourself. You always make mistakes but there ·s always those two or three shots that keep you coming back." McMahon said. A regulation golf course consists of 18 holes. The object is to try and get as close to par as possible. par being the allotted strokes for that particular hole. Par is usually 70-74 strokes. This is where the frustration comes in. "Normally. 95 percent of people who golf never break 100," McMahon said. Golfers must observe etiquette when it comes to being on the course. Some basic rules of the game include never walking in front of someone's "lie" on the green. hold-
ing your temper and your tongue, making sure your shadow is not covering the hole and the most important one, never distracting anyone. Golf Coach John Dzik likes the fact that
nothing distracts him while he is golfing. "II gives me a chance to get away from the ringing phones:· Dzik said. For those who love the game. there are also those who have different opinions of the game. Junior Chris Monaghan said. "I can 'tstand it. Wearing plaid pants and walking upon the green isn't for me. I'd rather just drive the ball as far as I can and go home. I'm not into the precise stuff."
Senior Kim Christy added. ·'My boyfriend golfs, so I tried it but I didn ·1 really like it because it's very frustrating to try and get a tiny. tiny. tiny ball somewhere yonder in a field of green."' Of course. there are some who try to adapt the game to their own personal tastes. Senior Lisa Lipar said, ··1 like golf. It's the only sport you can drink during. You walk and you drink." Golfers in this region feel they are in the "golf course heaven" area of the world. with the number of courses immediately available to them. The public greens these enthusiasts frequent range from Walnut Lane in Manayunk to Cobbs Creek in Upper Darby to the Valley Forge Golf Club in Valley Forge. Mc\fahon, Barbuscia and friends are also able to recite verbatim their best shot. the yardage of the course. who they were with. the "eather of the day. and what clubs they used., Along with their ideal day, they remember the first set of clubs they ever bought, the first place they golfed. and the time they almost sunk that hole-in-one. \1cMahon compared golf to life. He explained that you have to weigh all your options before you continue and once you do someihing. you have to put it behind you and move on. So what does "fore·· mean anyway? McMahon said. "When you hear "fore·, look out - there·s a wild shot coming." Aside from the relaxation and enjoyment these enthusiasts get from the game. they also see it as a chance to clear their heads and step back away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
