Tuition increase raises questions by Brendan Noone co-sports editor
In the· past three years, Cabrini College has witnessed a 30 percent increase in tuition. For the next fiscal school year tuition will increase an additional eight percent, according to a letter circulated by President Antoinette Iadarola this Easter break. Students will experience an increase in tuition from $9,020 to $9,742, raising the tuition for residents to $16,532. Cited in the Easter break letter were four major reasons for the substantial increase. General inflation was the leading factor that contributed to the college's major increase for next year. The raising cost of energy was also cited as a notable parameter for the swell. Technology, for the development of the computer lab and most importantly the Holy

Spirit library, also weighed in the decision process. A decline in federal and state financial aid was the final agent administrated. Elizabeth Cairns, the director of financial aid, contradicted the letter, stating that Cabrini College is expecting a nice increase in the financial aid budget. "Each student's situation is looked at by financial aid individually," Cairns said. "A package will be sent to upperclassmen May I to explain the situation." Sections not feeling the effects of the increase, according to the letter sent out over Easter break, will be the annual room deposit, the general fund and, most importantly to residents, room and board.

Dozens die in Ranch Apocalypse: investigation pending by Doug Eppler assistant features editor
It took 51 days for federal agents to decide to move in force against the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. It took less than an hour to watch the wooden complex burn to the ground. Last week. cult leader David Koresh warned that federal agents would be "devoured by fire" if they attempted to harm him. One week later, it was his own followers who had fallen to the blaze consuming his so-called Ranch Apocalypse. The compound ignited on Monday following repeated attempts by federal agents to force cult members out of the building using diluted, non-harmful. non-flammable tear gas. The blaze, apparently set by two members of the cult, destroyed the building in less than an hour, leaving nine survivors, of which eight were hospitalized for

burns. None of the 17 children in the compound were among the survivors. Koresh and his second-in-command Steve Schneider were likewise presumed killed in the fire. Their fate, as of Tuesday, however. was unknown. The blaze began at approximately I :06 p.m. EST after federal armored vehicles delivered a final burst of the gas. Within three minutes, flames were visible on the south wing of the cityblock size fortress as winds up to 30 mph nursed the newborn fire. Firefighters alerted to the infant blaze were unable to move in for nearly an hour due to the I 00 to 200 rounds of ammunition fired at federal agents by cult members. As the trucks began to roll in, however, R. G. Wilson of the Waco Fire Department said. "There's no way you can do anything with that building right now." All water to the compound had been previously shut off by the FBI. Meanwhile, in Washington, President Clinton expressed his regret for the loss

of life in Waco and said he instructed Attorney General Janet Reno to do what she thought necessary to end the standoff. Appearing on CNN's "Larry King Live," Reno declared, "We considered every possible option. We realized that we would be in the best possible position with everything set as it was to possibly control a mass suicide." ·'Yes, we knew it was a possibility, but we didn't think he would do it,'' Reno added. "We made the best decision we could based on everything we knew. Based on what we know now, it was obviously wrong." Reno went on to say, "I talked to everyone who had a rQle... but it's my decision. The buck stops with me. I'm the one responsible." FBI agent Bob Ricks, speaking before a hungry pack of reporters, said he and his fellow agents. along with agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (A TF), were shocked by the outcome of the standoff.
"I can· t tell you the shock and the horror that all of us felt when we saw those flames coming out there,'' Ricks said. "It was 'Oh. my God, they're killing themselves.' We did not want that to occur." Twenty-four hours after the blaze. fingers started pointing. Clinton was quick to cite Koresh as the one to blame. "He killed those he controlled, and he bears ultimate responsibility for the carnage that ensued," Clinton said before the press on Tuesday. A survivor in federal custody, on his way to a preliminary court hearing, told reporters that it was not a suicide that caused the fire. He said rather that a tank piercing holes in the building knocked over a kerosene lamp. causing the fatal fire. According to federal agents. two survivors admitted to setting the blaze.

Our school gym does not even span half the size of the athletic facilities in most of our high schools. The library keeps us trotting back and forth to Villanova and other surrounding colleges because of a severe lack of journals and periodicals. The amount of equipment in that weight room could not even fill up a regular-sized classroom. And all this for $16,532 a year at Cabrini College. An eight percent tuition increase? Cost of living nothing, where on earth is this money going? It certainly is not being used to build up the facilities and services for the students and families who fork out the money. with every increase, to attend this college. Even more importantly, why is the cost of living fee coming from the students? This year President Antoinette Iadarola hired Stewart Stabley to head institutional advancement, an office whose chief goal consists of raising money for the college. Also, students are often denied meetings with Iadarola because she apparently spends a great deal of time off campus raising money. Raising money should be the primary objective of her job. If these people dedicate so much time to their fundraising efforts, why is it that students fail to see the results of this hard work in their tuition costs? Some argue the money being raised goes towards special projects that will eventually improve the facilities and services this college offers. Now that is all fine and dandy for the future Cabrini students, but what about the poor souls who attend this school in the present? The simple truth is that regardless of the terrific faculty who teach here and the admirable legacy of Mother Cabrini, this school simply is not worth $16,532. The college fails to provide students with services and facilities that would offset the high tuition increase. We are not compensated for our costs.

Thanks to physical plant, the campus has never looked cleaner. What a major coincidence that this massive clean-up occurred right before the big inauguration! We all know parking on campus is a difficult and tedious task, and if you are a commuter, it can be a nightmare. What is the deal, however, with commuters getting tickets for parking in the residential lots? Some of them are our guests. Thanks.

Well, it is about time Cabrini students did more than simply sit around and complain about what this school lacks. The luxurious pool outside Xavier Hall demonstrates ingenuity and compensation. And with a blessing from Father Ambrose, the swim club is more than complete. With all of this nice weather, it was a shame the intramural softball program struck-out. What ever happened to things getting done around here?

As I get older. I begin to realize how simple and exciting life was when I was a child. There were no hard decisions to make. One of the biggest ones I can remember was deciding what to ask Santa Claus for Christmas. Every day brought something new, which at times created a fear of the unknown. but never a feeling of boredom from a daily routine. Unfortunately with age and my personal experiences, this childlike wonder got lost in the monotony of routine. I find myself settling for a life of repetition because it is easier than facing my fears of the unknown. For this reason, there have been occasions when I wished I could regress to my childhood. I thought the days of childhood were lost forever until I did something for the first time over Easter break. I went to my first concert ever and saw Elton John. Feelings of fear and excitement took over as I anticipated the long awaited event. I felt as if I were going through life as a child again, not knowing what to expect. As I heard stories about the many
wild and craLy things that can go on during concerts, visions of me being trampled by a crazy uncontrollable crowd raced through my mind. Questioning whether J really wanted to put myself through this, I decided I did - for a memory that would last a lifetime. So without further hesitation, I went. The concert transformed me into the child I often searched for deep within myself, but fear was lost. The feeling was similar to being a kid in a candy shop given free reign of the store. My sister's fiancee said the excitement he saw in me made the concert more fun for him because he likes to see and make others happy. Watching all the lights and the stage performances, I found myself repeating the famous words of a toddler, "What's that?" and "Look at that!" The memories are great. Every time r hear Elton John's songs play on the radio now, the concert comes to mind, and I've learned to appreciate his songs even more. Nobody told me life was going to be as fun or simple as it was when I was a chi Id, but being caught up with the boredom of routine can be forgotten. I just need to confront my fears and let the child in me come out once in a while. I hope I can remember this when I graduate next month and approach my fears of the future with childlike wonder.

Administrationcrushesstudent initiative To the editor: You hear it in the classroom, in the cafeteria, walking down the hall and in the dorms. It is called dissatisfaction. If you are familiar with the article in last week's Loquitur about the problems between fa"culty and administration. you can understand what I am talking about. Maybe it is just my opinion, but there is a definite change in the "Cabrini Spirit," among the faculty, staff and students. When I was a freshman. it seemed like everyone was involved in the school. Events like Superthon and Sibling Weekend were a big deal. We even had the town council meetings, where faculty came together with students to discuss
campus problems. However, things have changed. Is it because there is no one to turn to, or because no one knows who to turn to? Even when we try to make positive changes. there is so much red tape, we could decorate the entire campus with it! Students have no one in the staff or administration they feel they can turn to. Everyone is always in "meetings" or simply brushes our problems under the rug after they finally schedule time in to talk to us. Being a student leader on campus, I feel compelled to make a change. We as students and the $16,000 we pay to go here makes the effort worth it. For all

we pay to attend this school, we should have a say in what happens to us. I was under the impression that college was the time for growing up and learning to make a difference. Does this school have a different meaning for the term "liberal arts college?" I would like to applaud the faculty for their unending devotion to the students and the knowledge they impart to us. We are taught in the seminar 300 classes that it is up to us to start up and make a difference. The way things are on this campus, that logic taught in these classes is worthless .. The "powers that be" make it virtually impossible to make any type of change or impact.
I hate to think after May 22. 1994. when I receive my diploma, Cabrini College will leave a bad taste in my mouth -and that r will not even wear my class ring with pride. I do not want all my time spent trying to make a difference wasted. I came to this school a much tamer and quieter person. but was touched by the energy of those who touched me. Now I no longer even see a spark. Maybe we should rethink the mission of the college and what we are here for. The double standard is wearing thin. Sincerely, Judith A. Panasik Senior
Student backs faculty To the editor: I would like to comment on the article from last week titled, "Faculty unrest hits boiling point." r am a very involved student on this campus and also a tour guide for the Admissions office. Many times while on a tour the prospective student will ask the tour guide, "Why did you come to Cabrini? Why did you stay?" When answering the latter of the two questions. we as tour guides most often answer, "the faculty." The reason is the faculty at Cabrini are a very caring group. They take the time and energy to help a student pass courses, answer students' questions and help them with problems. They usually go beyond their regular class times and office hours to sit and chat with students so they can feel involved and a part of the college. For the president and administration of this college to blatantly hold information and fail to support the faculty is an outright slap in the face
for all those who pay $16,000 to come to this institution. This college would not have the strong reputation that it does if it were not for the men and women who teach our courses. r would ask that the senior staff of this college WAKE UP! The faculty is one of the central focuses that keeps the students at this college. All members of this institution need to keep a good working relationship with the faculty members. I agree with Dr. Girard I00 percent when he said. "The ultimate glue of this college is the faculty/student relationship.'· How right he is and how thankful all of us should be to have all of these great men and women at this college. Please let's face our problems head on, before we face an even bigger dilemma. Sincerely, Danielle Harris Junior
Reher responds to letter To the editor: An aspect of Brandon Dougherty's letter (Loquitur, 3/26/93) which disturbs me, other than his dubious complaint about Catholicism and the CORE, is his reckless imputation of "sin." Brandon should know better. As a student in my American Catholicism class. he was taught about the serious harm done to
the Catholic church when informed prudential judgments were branded as "sin." That important lesson seems to have eluded him. Brandon does know where my office is, and I assure him that he is always welcome there. Respectfully yours, Margaret Mary Reher, Ph. D. Chair, Department of Religion
Staffmemberwarnsagainstculttacticsbased on experience To the editor: After reading two articles on cults by Kevin Ohland! in recent issues of the Loquitur. I was reminded just how sensitive an issue this can be for young adults. I say "reminded" because as a young adult (20 years ago) I was, for a brief time, exposed to the cult-like attitudes of fundamentalist Protestantism. Fundamentalism (Catholic and Islamic forms included) has become much more acceptable, thanks to the political savvy and business acumen of its leaders over the past 20 years. That expertise enables fundamentalists like Amy Grant, Randall Terry and Pat Robertson to conveniently enjoy the benefits and
luxuries of the modern age, but scratch any one of them and just beneath the surface are the "cultic" attitudes. sentiments and mores of Billy Sunday and D.L. Moody. Cultists, aberrant individuals and groups described by Ohlandt. and fundamentalists, like the worldlywise sectarians mentioned above, all have one thing in mind: to convert as many lost souls as possible before the "imminent" end of the age. Fundamentalists, like cultists, achieve their missionary goals through the imposition of a strict, yet supposedly "scientific" presentation of faith, the denigration of human reason and spiritual aspirations, belittlement of personal
worth and self-esteem, and a reliance on the charismatic whims of anointed ("messianic'') preachers. Lest r be accused of presenting an imbalanced opinion. I do admit that fundamentalists like Grant and Robertson do not, as far as r know, engage in the bizarre kinds of behavior attributed to the cultists. Rut, in their ardor to '·save souls'· on college campuses, fundamentalists know that they must obliterate with narrow sectarian attitudes every natural endowment (reason, hope, faith, spiritual traditions, social need, etc.) that God has bestowed on those same college students and all human beings. In some sense, it has taken me these
20 years to learn a truth that the church has "witnessed to" for a thousand years - that "grace bu i Ids on nature." Fundamentalists, in common with the cultists, know that to make converts they must destroy the budding critical faculties of the young adult (nature) and replace these with "born-again'' mentality of fear, mistrust and obscurantism. This kind of "grace" is amazing to the point of incredulity. Thanks to Kevin Ohland! for the wake-up cal I. Sincerely, Bob Rose Staff

Seiters employee Ben Dunn takes the hassels of the busy Wigwam in strides. Daily Dunn can be found working hard to keep Cabrini's community fed. by Gary White asst. arts
& entertainment editor
Not many people are known by their first name alone. There is Cher, Elvis, Lucy ... and Cabrini's own Ben, Wigwam cook and a Seiler's supervisor. Most people have no idea Ben's last name is Dunn. Most people do not feel it is important. They know he is Ben, and that is all that matters. Ben came to Cabrini two and a half years ago. Before that he was in the service for 10 years. From 1978 to 1980, Ben was in Army active service at Fort Dix, New Jersey. For the next eight years, he worked in the National Guard. "I entered as a truck mechanic and came out a cook," Ben said. "I'm glad I had the experience, because I came out with two trades." Many at Cabrini are also glad Ben had the cooking experience. "Ben is a very good cook," Jennifer Marks-Gold, st1.1dentactivities director, said. Junior Dan Trotter also commented on Ben's culinary ability. "He makes one heck of a hamburger," he said. In addition to Ben's cooking ability, Marks-Gold also said Ben is 'genuine.' "He asks how you are and really means it," she said. Junior Jeff Patti also commented on Bt;n's friend! iness. "Ben is fun-loving and an all-around good guy," Patti said. Patti is a good friend of Ben's and has worked with him in the Wigwam for two years. According to Patti, Ben is very easy to get along with and work with. Nadine Waters has also worked with Ben in the Wigwam, for eight months. She said Ben knows just about everyone who comes in and out. In fact, Ben sometimes can tell what people will order before they do.

"He is a nice person to get along with," Waters said. Senior Chris Conrad agrees that Ben is easy to work with. At first, Conrad said he found Ben intimidating, but later realized he is a great guy. When Conrad began working in the Wigwam one and a half years ago, he had a problem with Ben. One night when Conrad was working, some things were stolen. The next day Conrad heard about this, and also heard Ben was blaming him and senior Tom Foran, who was also working that night. Conrad found out the rumor about Ben was not true, and the culprit was found. Ben told Conrad that the Wigwam workers stick together. "It was then I realized Ben was a really great guy,'' Conrad said. This 'great guy' was born in Alabama. He moved with his family to New York when he was eight. From New York, the trail lead to Philadelphia, where he currently lives on 52nd and Walnut streets. Ben uses the train and Cabrini van service to get back and forth. Ben has two brothers who also live in Philadelphia. One in East Philadelphia the other in North Philadelphia. His mother resides in Memphis, Tenn. His father is deceased. Ben was married, but is now separated. He has a 20 year old son who lives in Baltimore. For fun, Ben plays basketball and goes club hopping. "I try to keep out of trouble," he said. This season, Ben is on the roster for the WYBF intramural softball tdm. He enjoys spending time with the students. The one thing Ben would like to make sure all the students do is keep studying. "Because you need the education," he said.

features editor Nothing is perfect. A utopian society will never exist. The American way of life will always be complicated. If you said these things to a person who was a teenager in the 1950s they would not have believed you. For most, the 1950s represented a healthy, prosperous time, fun time with happy memories and minimal worries. To them a utopian society was within reach. In an article published in Newsweek in March of 1992, "How Our American Dream Unraveled," writer Robert J. Samuelson, stated that if you grew up in the 1950s you were constantly treated to the marvels of the time. You took prosperity for granted and with this began the Age of Entitlement. "There was a definite push to want more in the 1950s," Linda Roccas, library assistant said. "People where definitely striving for more. Greed was not the driving force behind this though. It seemed like it was more for the improvement of America" The 1990s are faced with several problems that Roccas never even had to think about when she was a teenager. "The economy is at a low point and so are values," Roccas said. "I can't believe the lack of values today. I just can't believe it." Beth Bailey, in her article, "Rebels Without a Cause? Teen-agers in the '50s," which appeared in History Today Magazine defined the American dream in several ways.
"The American dream could be the competition and the resulting rewards," Bailey said. Baileysaid"thenewpost-World War II American dream seemed to look to the private as the sphere of fulfillment, or self-definition and self-realization. The dream was of a private life - a family, secure, stable, and comfortable - that compensated for one's public (work) life."
After World War II the country continued in a war-time boom. Americans had secure jobs, rising standards of living and a clean environment. Americans felt they could have whatever they wanted. Patriotism was high. People took pride in their work whether it was working on an assembly line or a position in middle management. 'The pride everyone had in their work created a high work ethic," Roccas said. "I think that the American dream was created out of this. I believe that the American dream was second or a product of this high work ethic." According to Roccas there where definite trends in the 1950s. Family and fashion where just to name a few. "The trend was to have an intact family," Roccas said. "Single-parent families where the exception. Mom always stayed.home and everyone went to church." The poodle-skirt wearing days of the 1950s where over by the time Roccas attended high school. According to Roccas when ever she wanted something new and could not afford it she would buy material with her baby-sitting money and make her own clothes. Where the 1950s had poodle-skirts and greased back hair the 1990s have Nikeys and deadly sexually transmitted diseases. Not everything was happy go lucky in the 1950s though. People remembered the depression and World War II and racial and cultural tolerance was at a low point. "I think that our parents and politicians remembered the great depression and World War II," Roccas said. "With that in mind I think that may be they planned better so not to repeat the same mistakes of the past. In the I 950s also there was less tolerance of other religions and cultures. There was a lot of misunderstanding in those times."

12:00 a.m. : Helen Reiger calls the transmitter to transfer the signal to allow WXVU to begin their broadcast day.
Seize the
Day Capturing life at Cabrini The Loquitur staff decided to cover a day in the life of Cabrini on Thursday April 15. For 24 hours we observed a typical day as it unfolded on and off campus. We caught you in the bathroom or followed you to the cafeteria. We haunted your halls and recorded events that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. 12:01 a.m. : My faithful sidekick, Krista Milito, and I are about to embark on a quest to best portray a "day in the life of Cabrini College." 12: 15: Eva Ewan first-year student, washes her face, brushes her teeth and prepares for bed on the second floor of W oodcrest. 12:40: Wandering down to Xavier parking lot, we stumbled across a security guard hard at work. Apparently, someone decided to dress Tim McMannus' car up like a hot dog, and caked the car windows with layers of ketchup and mustard. Security guard John Allen was the man on the scene. Quicker than you could say, "security report," Allen had the incident written up and he was off once again to fight the evil forces that are forever lurking on campus. 12:56: Making are way from the parking lot of Xavier, we journeyed to the lobby of House 3. Seniors Carroll Latrechiano and Lynda luvara were found diligently studying for their early morning classes. Asked why they waited until the last minute to do their work, Latrechiano simply stated, "I'm _aprociastinator." 12:59: Senior Tom Foran is used to the late nights here at Cabrini. Foran is part of Radnor Townships volunteer fireman and rescue
squad. Foran is on ambulance duty for the township. No matter what time of the night it is, Foran must be available if an emergency call comes in. Foran gives up his valuable sleep for a reason. "Simply, I love helping people. It doesn't matter what time it is. The people in this community need help all hours of the day," Foran said. Before I could speak another word, Foran received an emergency call over his beeper and left the house in a blur. I: 14: Sitting in the lobby of House five, studying for a sociology test, senior Laurie Mink explained why she was torturing herself by staying up all night. "I had more important things to do, and this wasn't one of them." Mink said. "Besides, it's a very busy time of the year." I :27: All is quiet in Xavier. Much to everyone ·s disbelief. I :33: Making our way to House 7. Juniors Eric Fox and Frank Chiappine were preparing to call their eyening to an end. '"What a good time I had tonight, even though I have to wake up at 9 am," Chiappine said. Fox and Chiappine had spent their evening enjoying the sweeter fruits of life. I :37: First-year students Manny Hernandez, Keith Lapp, and Joe Ricci coming home from Lapp's

Ricci and Hernandez were proud to say they wear Hanes underwear. Lapp said he wears boxers. " Tightie whities are the thing of the future," Ricci said. 2:48: Making our way inside Woodcrest Hall, we struck up a conversation with the security guard. No sooner had we begun to talk, when senior Heather Laraway came barreling through the front doors. "If I don't get to the bathroom, I'll pee my pants," Laraway said. I didn't bother to stop her for an interview. 3:01: Xavier security guard David Walsh explained to us that early that evening, the intrusion alarms and fire alarm were set off within 20 seconds of each other. Despite this. Walsh explained that he much rather be stationed in
Xavier than Woodcrest. "Woodcrest is boring. All it involves is sitting at a desk for eight hours. At least here (Xavier} you can get up and walk around," Walsh said. "I usually do my rounds every half-hour or so, enforcing the policies of Cabrini College." A smile comes across his face as a tone of cynicism is detected in his voice. 3: I0: As we wander through the hallowed halls of Xavier, the silence is almost deafening. In fact, it is so quiet, I thought I almost heard myself think. I was wrong. 4:01: Well, this roller coaster ride of a journalism assignment is finally at an end. And as our leg of this journalistic relay comes to a crashing halt. we amiably pass the baton onto the next leg of our team.
2:00 a.m.: Sophomore Frank Chiappine and Junior Eric Fox before bed.

assistant news editor incapable of driving a vehicle. Drinking and driving are two verbs that are often connected with college students. The recent drunk driving accident involving Cabrini student Elisa Daylor spotlights the much broader issue of why young adults choose to drive while under the influence of alcohol. Think back to the spring formal of Ap(il 2. Picture Cabrini students mingling. dancing, perhaps while enjoying a few drinks. Daylor had been drinking earlier, and decided to leave the Holiday Inn. She left alone in her car. According 10 the accidenl repon of the Upper Merion Police, at 12:42 a.m. On April 3, the station received a call concerning a single vehicle accident. The accident took place at the entrance of the Philadelphia Gear Corporation, located on the south-bound side of South Gulph Road. The report cited Daylor. as the driver of the 1988 Saab 200 in the accident. There were no passengers in the car. The reporl said the suspect drifted to the right. straddled the road, and hit a telephone suspen. . sion wire. The accident caused the vehicle to overturn back onto South Gulph, and the final resting point of the car was on its rooftop. Upper Merion Officer Bill Fitzpatrick discovered Daylor along the side of the road. Other drivers had stopped to offer assistance. At the time of Fitzpatrick's arrival on the scene, Daylor had walked away from the accident without any major injuries. Daylor refused to comment. Another student affected by alcohol has joined the ranks of drinking and driving statistics. However, she was not one of the human beings killed in an alcohol-related accident that occur approximately every 20 minutes. According to Sergeant Thomas Flannery of the Radnor Police Department, there are a variety of ways to determine if someone is legally driving under the influence (DUI). The actual definition of DUI. Flannery said. is a person under ·the influence of alcohol to
my mom's car home, and I had a curfew. I don't think people would drive if they didn't have to. A lot of people drive drunk when they're young." Senior Matt Forman said he also has driven drunk because he had no other choice. "Falling asleep where I was just wasn't possible," Forman said. Forman said he has bumped into a parked car, and although there was no damage done to either car. he learned about the serious consequences that could have happened after his decision. According to Forman, the effects could have been physical. mental, and social. Forman made a distinction between driving drunk and driving after drinking. "I would not drive drunk anymore," Forman said. "However. I would drive after drinking. I curtail my drinking when I know I'm driving." Dunn said when she drove drunk. she didn't have any idea where she was. but was fully aware of her condition. ·'J can't even describe the feeling of knowing how drunk I was.'' Dunn said. "I couldn't sec the lines on the road. I knew I was dead meat if I was caught. -I don't think I would have been able to get 9Ulof the car. I have never done that again." Senior Jenny Igoe said, ·'I have driven drunk once. and I won't ever do it again. That was the longest drive of my life. I prayed the entire way home." Igoe said she was aware of her condition as she was driving her car. "As soon as I started to drive," Igoe said. "I knew I should not be behind the wheel of a car. It was a stupid thing to do." Senior Laurie Mink said there is a definite problem with college students drinking and driving. She said she knows many peers. both at home in New York and at school, who have been involved with drunk driving accidents. "Everyone thinks they're freakin' immortal." Mink said. "That's the problem. People always say' l ·m a better driver when I'm drunk.' That's totally not true.•·

Resident life revamps lottery process by Bob Macartney assistant co-sports editor Spring is upon us, and the school year is drawing to a close. At Cabrini, this means one thing: preparations for the Fall '93 Semester are under way. The housing lottery will take place this week, with juniors selecting their rooms on Monday, April 26, sophomores on Tuesday, April 27, and firstyear students on Wednesday, April 28. A $~50 room deposit was required in order for students to take their tum in the lottery. The housing deposit was due on April 16. It is a non-refundable deposit. Students who did not tum their deposit in on time will select their rooms after the rest of the student body is finished selecting. Some students have had problems with the room deposit. Junior Brian Siatkowski and first-year student Reggie Moore both
transferred here from Gardner-Webb College in North Carolina. At Gardner-Webb, the room deposit was only $ I 00. Siatkowski s;iid, "I am a senior and I picked number 19 in the lottery. Since the two people that J am going to room with do not have the money for their deposits, l am unable to pick a room until after e"erybody else. Resident Life has been totally uncooperative." Moore said, "I live in a house now, but because I do not have the money to pay the depo.sit, I will be stuck in Xavier Hall next year." Despite these complaints, students did receive a memo in their mailboxes on April 5, which detailed the lottery process. In orange highlight the memo reads, "All roommates must pay their $250 room deposit in order to pick a room in the lottery. Students may not
change roommates once these names have been submitted." Among the changes in this year's lottery are the housing configurations for next year. Men will live in Xavier Upper South, and Houses one, three, and five. Women will live in Xavier Upper North. Woodcrest, and Houses two, four. six, and seven. Xavier Lower North and Lower South will be co-ed. These changes mean that there will be no squatting of rooms. In the past, students who have lived in a house were able to· squat their rooms and remain there for the following year. However, since most of the houses are changing this year, there will be no squatting. Resident Life came out with a memo in early March detailing the housing lottery, and students had over a month to make the necessary arrangements. How-
ever, some communications problems did occur between the Business Office and Resident Life. Junior Ellen Robbins paid her deposit on time. Her roommate-to-be Tara Austin, however. was under the impression that her deposit would be covered by Financial Aid. It was not, forcing Robbins to select another roommate. Since she only wants to room with Austin, she has tried to fight this decision. Robbins said, "We have gone to the Business Office, Financial Aid, and Resident Life, and they have done nothing. We have set up an appointment with Dean Bob, and if that fails, we will take our problem to President Iadarola." Despite these problems, the lottery will begin on Monday night at 9:45 in the Widener Center Lecture Hall.
Additional expenses for graduating seniors by Bob Macartney
assistant co-sportseditor Graduation. A time that seniors look forward to during their entire college career. The speeches and tears, diplomas and celebration, caps and gowns ... weU, maybe not caps and gowns. If you go to Cabrini, that ,is. This year's senior class has yet to receive their caps and gowns for the graduation ceremony, which is only one month away. According to Kappa Sigma Omega PresidentDanieUe Harris, a new company was hired this year to distribute caps and gowns to the graduating class. Over the last few years, students have had to pay a $50 fee in order to
graduate. The process ran smoothly, until the company made an error last year. At last year's graduation ceremony, approximately 75 seniors were supposed to receive a Bachelor's Science degree in Education. ·
'It is just one more bill from Cabrini. I would not be surprised if they kept billing me after graduation.' -Senior Tom Foran
However, the stoles which they were
given showed that they were receiving a Bachelor's of Arts degree. This year, a new company was hired to distribute the seniors' attire. The bookstore is now in charge of the distribution. This year, the fee is only $25 for graduating seriiors. However, even though the fee is only half of last year's, some seniors still have a problem with it. Senior Tom Foran expressed his displeasure with the grad11ation fee. Foran said, "It is just one more bill from Cabrini. I would not be surprised if they kept billing me after graduation." Foran also added tha~ he did not receive any information about caps and gowns, but according to Foran, his parents were notified by mail. Senior Keith Ahlas agreed with Foran.
He also did not think that seniors should be charged to graduate. Ahlas said, he disagrees with the entire principle of the situation. According to Alhas, students pay their tuition for four years and should not have to pay an extra fee upon graduation. "It's just not right," Ahlas said. Ahlas also was not notified about the cap and gown situation. Harris, a junior, agrees that the ·entire situation surrounding the caps and gowns has not been publicized well. Harris said she found out through word of mouth. Kappa is a very influential organization, according to Harris. Kappa has not been contacted yet. "We have not been measured, and we need our gowns," Harris said.

Senior athletes leave legacies behind

For the past four years, Cabrini sports fans have had the pleasure to watch their friends and classmates compete on the fields of battle around this campus. In the fall. these athletes compete all over campus. If indoor sports are your thing, then the Sacred Heart gym is your place to go. For the past four seasons. women's volleyball player Laurie MacA voy has controlled the court for the Lady Cavs. If you prefer your games to be under the bright blue sky, then there is a plethora of venues for you to choose from. The tennis courts have showcased the talents of Karen Bell and Celeste Eschbach. On the other side of Grace Hall, Christine Costigan. Veronica O'Hora, and Michelle Montgomery have competed for the field hockey team, while Jeff Magee, Glen Jaskelewicz, Kevin Gaherty, Eric Burke. and Pat Ryan have hawked their wares on the soccer field. What do all of these athletes have in common? They are all seniors, who have done their share of battling to bring honor to the school and have left their legacies behind on the very fields which they competed on.

asst. sports editor It is the final championship game of the men's basketball season. All three seniors are on the court with only seconds remaining. He hears the other two seniors coax him to take the three-point shot, but he does not do it. This is-the final memory Captain Frank Sciolla takes with him at the end of his collegiate basketball career. Sciolla said this incident exemplifies the different type of player he has become. Although he was never a power player Sciolla said he was the person who constantly shot. Throughout the past three years he has become more of a team player who is concerned with the welfare of the team. He said the reason he did not take that last shot was because he did not want to do anything that could be detrimental to the team. Scio Ila, who began his love for basketball as a way to keep him busy between football and baseball season, said he recalls taking the ball to the net many times anCI"getting clobbered." Basketball coach John Dzik said Scio Ila is a good defensive player and is difficult to stop when he gets the ball because of his size and quickness. According to Sciolla, a loss of confidence resulted in his not being half the player he used to be in his senior season. He attributes this to his lack of motivation. However, Scio Ila improved in other areas that were important to his being a successful captain. He said he became a leader and began to worry about other players and their taking shots. He said he dfdnot know that he
Pau/Karcsh
was able to be a team player. Sciolla'said he learned to be an unselfish player and, as a captain, he provided support for the younger players. Dzik disagrees with Sciolla 's progress as a player. He said Sciolla' s senior year was his best season at Cabrini because Sciolla regained the mobility he had in high school, which he had lost due to an injury during his sophomore year. According to Dzik, although Sciolla struggled with his foul shots. his hard work contributed to the great deal of improvement that has resulted. The new up-beat style of defense was something Scio 11a fit into we 11because he has the ability to put pressure on the other team, Dzik said. "There is no doubt our success was certainly directed to Frank's recovery from his injury and his ability to play as well as he did," Dzik said. Overall, Sciolla said his season turned out well because it was rewarding to him. As an individual, he said he learned humility. Sciolla offers these words of wisdom to his teammates for next year: "Concentrate on your school work and have fun with basketball. Never let basketball defeat you." To Dzik, he said, "stay consistent and don't change your values or ideals for anyone and you will continue to be successful." In the future Sciolta said he would like to stay in touch with basketball by either coaching or taking up the journalistic aspect. He looks toward at the score board. The sight is a pleasant one as senior Paul Karsch comes to the realization that they have just defeated Alverniain the championship game. He is ending his collegiate basketball career and going out a winner. According to Dzik, Karsch was recruited out of high school for his scoring ability. He has been a member of the varsity team for four years. Also, Dzik said he was the best three-point shooter on the team this year. His interest in basketball began when his mother told him it was necessary for him to get involved in an activity, basically in order to occupy his time. At the age of nine he began playing basketball on his own in the backyard. Karsch said he has matured very much since his freshmen year when he was out of control. He said Dzik has settled him down both athletically and academically. Later in Karsch 's career Dzik said he did not play as much and Karsch decided to take a different approach. That approach was that he became more of a practice player who helped the younger players learn the system. Dzik said Karsch acted like an assistant coach on the bench. Karsch said he saw his role as a helper to Dzik. He helped keep the team focused on theiropponents and taught the freshman how to conduct themselves outside of the Cabrini environment. Although he did- not play as much as previous seasons, Dzik said Karsch continued to be dedicated to the game. He said he does not recall him missing a practice this season. Karsch said it was important for him to give 110 percent on and off the court. Dzik·said Karsch is a positive role model forthe team because they see him showing up for practice and working hard even though he does not play as much as some of the other players. Off the court, Dzik said Karcsh uses his sense of humor to keep the other players relaxed. He said Karsch's light-hearted disposition keeps him from getting too serious. As his mother always told him, all things must come to an end and in Karcsh' s case he is sad to see it end.
"N"owit is time to move on and look to the future. Now it is time for me to get a job,'' Karcsh said. Karcsh ·swords of wisdom for next years' team is to stay focused because they have the potential of going further next season. He said they have the athletic ability to get a bid for the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Karsch hopes to continue his role in bas- , ketball by coaching. He is currently trying to get a coaching job at Cabrini in the summer. When the Cavaliers entered the National Catholic Basketball Tournament, they were not even ranked. Then. on national television, they defeated the first, third, and fourth ranked team. Senior Joe McGowan was a part of it all and takes this memory with him as his collegiate basketball career comes to its completion. McGowan said the main reason he befiiep11010 came interested in basketball was because he Frank Scio/la was much bigger than everyone else. He also said having an older broth·er who played graduating,Fannon is sad that her collegiate basketballcareeris comingto an end. She saidshe sparked his interest.

Lacrosse splits weekend matches by Dana Caterson

co-sports e uo Yes, I could have picked any number of obviom, choices for Sportc;man of the year, but I did not. I am choosing Kelly Slater. The twenty-one year old World surfing champion from Coca Beach Florida is the youngest in a long history to win. Slater with his smooth surf style is grace on the water, as Wayne Gretz.ky is on ice. Going from an amateur status, and in one year on the pro tour winning the whole thing. He also has a great contract with Quicksilver, he does ads too, just like the Michael Jordan's andCharles Barkley's of the world, just not as in your face which is refreshing. I would rather watch Kelly surf any day then say see any goal scored or run hit. It is just amazing. Kelly is defmitely a sportsman regardless of the sport.

Judging by the turnout last weekend at home, the Lacrosse team showed much promise. Hundreds were in attendance for the team's premiere home games. Cabrini conquered visiting St. Vincent 14-10 on Saturday, while on Sunday, the team was defeated by Wesley 14-7. With thanks to the temperate weather, the field on sibling weekend looked more like a homecoming for a university game. The stands were over flowing with happy Cabrini parents, students and faculty. "I like to see a lot of people come out, plus everyone is having a good time,"Junior Steve Murray said. For some last weekend's lacrosse game was the first time faculty had seen the sport played. For recent Cabrini graduate, Jenn Teichman, lacrosse is a foreign sport. "It's pretty intense, I watch the players whacking their sticks and wonder if it's legal," Teichman said. During both games a brawl broke out between the competing teams. Tom Hafler. defensive player, said believes the spectators like to see the fights. Teammate Tim Wonson, agrees and believes last weekends home games were nail biters. "It's a physical game," said Wonson. For player, Kyle Simons, lacrosse is a game where all aggression works itself out.

Coach Mills prepares the Lacrosse team for their first home match. At last Saturday's game against St. Vincent the field was a sea of black and green uniforms battling it out against one another. For senior Peggy Maio lacrosse is not a new sport. Maio played the sport all throughout high school. "The team seems pretty good although you can tell it's their first year, but overall I'm impressed," Maio said. Fan enthusiasm was so high in the second half of the game against St. Vincent that junior Dave Wissler urged spectators to form a wave. After a couple trial runs everyone in the bleachers was doing the wave in perfect sync. 'Tm really delighted, I want to give credit to Randy Mills for the team," Dr. Antoinette Iadarola. college president
said. Manager Becky Pappano did not know much about lacrosse when she started but has really gotten into it this semester. "The team has become so close, they got a good thing. I think the team played even better with all the people watching," Pappano said. "It pumped them up." With only two games left in the season the Lacrosse club at Cabrini will soon be an official team. From last weekends turnout of support many believe their a lot to look forward too. "We are a young team and by the time I'm a senior we'll be real strong," Wonson said.

Leading the team onto the greens by Paul Crowell

Sports-person of the Year: Mario Lemieux. The greatest story in sports this year, by far. The leader of the Penguins is the best player in the NHL and the best human interest story thus far this decade. Earlier this year number 66 was sidelined with a case of Hodgkins· disease, he rebounded, after a month of treatment, to have the best six weeks in hockey history. Runner-up: Charles Barkley. Sir Charles ruled the NBA this season like a man possessed. He
proved that he was not dead after a horrid year in Philly and that he still can dominate. And Dominate he did.
This time it is Sun City
and Charlesis the star. He has bis own TV. show, his own sneaker deal and the best player he has been around since the Dream Team.
There is a widely acknowledged golf axiom that says if you want to be humbled, play golf. Anyone who has spent four or five hours chasing around that little white ball knows that golf will try the patience of a saint. Anyone who frequently finds their ball leaving their club destined for bodies of water or dense forest appreciates those rare birds who enjoy the game in spite of its perils. Senior Shane Ferguson, a member of Cabrini's golf team, is such a bird. As Ferguson treads through the unfathomable world of golf he always keeps a simple philosophy near his thoughts. "What happens, happens," Ferguson said. Athletic director John Dzik, who also dons the hat of golf coach, said Ferguson is the epitome of cool on the greens. "Shane approaches the game the way it should be played," Dzik said. "He doesn't get angry and curse while he's on the course. He goes out and has fun and is able to laugh things off." Team captain and fellow senior Glen Jaskelewicz said Ferguson's laid-back style of play and sense of humor is especially appreciated on this year's team, which he said was "about I and 15." "He's free-wheeling basically," Jaskelewicz said. "A lot of teams we play are real serious, but we like to have fun while we're on the course." However, Ferguson said despite the lev-
ity the team maintains on the course, they still know when to get down to business. ·'We ta.lee the game serious," Ferguson said. "We're always joking around, but we don't take it as a joke." Dzik said Ferguson is always able to keep his cool on the course no matter what the situation dictates. "He has an even demeanor and keeps his composure on the course," Dzik said. "Nothing rattles him." Ferguson may have ice water in his veins, but he has no secret of how he keeps his easycome, easy-go attitude, which allows him to sha.lceoff the often humbling aspect of golf. "I just go with the flow," Ferguson said. "I try to remain as relaxed as possible; golf can be a frustrating sport. If I have a bad day, I just shake it off and try again next match." This philosophy is especially applicable now as he is poised to finish up his three-year stint as a Cabrini golfer. When asked what he would most like to forget during his career, he answered with a quick wit, "Last match." Ferguson said he hasn't played as well as he would have liked the past two seasons, but he hopes to start over and perform well in the upcoming PAC championships. Ferguson's past suggests he is accustomed to rising to the occasion when need be. He said he carded the low score last year at the ESAC championships in which Cabrini finished second. Ferguson's dedication to the sport and to the team has not gone unnoticed by his coach. Dzik said Ferguson has always been dependable and done every thing asked of him. "One: he shows up, two: he plays to his ability," Dzik said about Ferguson.
Being a senior, Ferguson ·s experience is valued on the team, and Ferguson has assumed a leadership role on the team on and off the field. "I've been a leader, along with Glen, to some of the younger guys, who are leading us through the season," Ferguson said. Jaskelewicz said Ferguson has been a help with everything from arranging the vans to when the team leaves and what the line up of the match is going to be that day. He also said along with himself, Ferguson helps the younger players by telling them what to look out for on the courses, which is important • can have more because a golf course nooks and crannies than an English Muffin. Dzik said Ferguson's experience is just one of the intangibles he brings to the team. "He's an astute observer of the game," Dzik said. "Before the match, the younger guys ask me what the course is like and I let them know," Ferguson said. According to Jaskelewicz the recent onslaught of inclement weather and the resulting cancellations has made it difficult to get the team organized. Again, Ferguson has been an asset to the team. "I guess I try to help get things organized and make sure we have five guys for a match," Ferguson said. "And I try to keep the spirit up on the team." But Ferguson said his motivation is to go out and have fun and take of advantage of the opportunity of playing on some beautiful golf courses. "Thumbs up," Ferguson said.
