Residentlife implementsnecessarychanges by Heather McAll/ster editor in chief

As students settle into on-campus rooms, the resident life staff is preparing to face new challenges. More students are living on campus this year than in the past three years, most of Woodcrest is tripled, two new resident directors are in command and residents are voting on parietals. . According to the weekly admissions report, dated September 3, this year the college enrolled 226 fust-year students and 110 new transfer students. In 1992 the incoming enrollment was 258, as compared with 337 new students this year. The report states 156 firstyear students and 32 new transfers will live on campus. According to Resident Life Director Cathy Caulfield, the number of incoming students this year has affected resident life. Caulfield said the number of resident students has risen from 364 in the 1993 spring.semester to 421 in the fall Campus dormitories can accommodate 394 residents, Caulfield said. Caulfield said many students are tripled in Woodcrest double rooms due to the number of residents this semester. According to Caulfield, 14ofthe 18roomson Woodcrest's third floor, as well as half the other rooms, are

What's Happening

tripled. When Caulfield and Sloane Gibb, resident director of Woodcrest, began assigning students to Woodcrest, all third floor rooms were tripled, Caulfield said. It was at that point, Caulfield said, that the resident life staff decided to freeze students on two waiting lists. Caulfield maintains a waiting list for upperclass students, and she said five women and three men currently are on the list. Nancy Gardner, executive director of admissions and financial aid, initiated a housing waiting list for new residents on July 29. Currently five women and three men are also on this list. Sophomore Tana Peifer, an orientation counselor, is one returning students on a waiting list, but she said she is removing her name because she was forced to find other living accommodations. "During the second orientation this summer, resident life told me they couldn't fit me," Peifer said. "I had to move to an apartment that is half an hour from school, and I have 8:15 classes. I had a job reserved for me at the mall, and I was going to play volleyball this year. Now I can't do these things because l don't live on campus." Peifer questioned why the resident life

staff is de-tripling some rooms in Woodcrest when two separate lists of students are waiting for spaces. "I want to be able to give everyone the experience of living on campus," Caulfield said, "but there comes a time when a decision must be made about the quality of that experience." According to Bob Bonfiglio, vice president for student development, Cabrini had a student retention rate of over 90 percent in 1991 and 1992. The college expects to maintain the rate this year, Bonfiglio said. "We have mcreased our retention rate quite dramatically," Bonfiglio said. "The student satisfaction survey showed students are quite happy here." Bonfiglio referred to a student poll conducted last semester during fall registration. In order to maintain a high level of student satisfaction and retention, the resident life staff is preparing a support system for first-year students in triple situations, Caulfield said. Gibb said she views triples in Woodcrest as a "good thing." "This shows students are satisfied and have seen what living on campus is like,"

Gibb said. "As negative as the triples have been played out, this is a real plus for the college in general." According to Gibb, she and the resident assistants (RAs) attended sessions on conflict mediation during the Leadership Conference. Caulfieldsaid RA training emphasized dealing with a "full house" this year. "RAs are planning programs and will respond to any situation," Caulfield said. Bonfiglio said resident life programming stems from the RA goals decided during the leadership conference. RA goals include communicating effectively, supporting the college community and promoting cultural diversity, as presented during leadership conference. The ultimate goal on the RA list is high student retention. According to Caulfield, resident life programs will address space and noise conflicts.

Existinghealthrequirementbroughtto the forefront by Kelly McDonald

co-news editor

Last spring, President Antoinette Iadarola notified students by mail that proofofhealthinsuranceismandatoryfor all full-time students.This is not a new requirementat Cabrinibut is now strictly enforced,forthe protectionof the students as well as the institution. The only differencethis semesteris that the BusinessOfficehas takencontrol of enforcingthe healthinsurancerequirement. A waiver,includinga copy of the healthinsurancepolicythatCabrinioffers to students, was sent to students in the summer. Studentsthen were responsible for returning the waiver with proof of insurance by July 28 or, if necessary, taking steps to obtain healthinsurance. If none of these stepswas taken by August 1, the Business Office ad4ed an extra$370tothefinal billforthe insurance premiwn. Cabrini'spremiwn covers the periodSept 1, 1993toSept.1,1994.Once policyandidentificationnwnbersaresubmitted to health services,the $370 fee is removedfrom the bill. Accordingto Sue Fitzgerald,directorofhealthservices,thisisthe easiestand mostefficientway to controlthe situation. Althoughnot all collegesdeal with healthinsurancein the samemanner,Bob Bonfiglio,vice presidentfor student development,saidthedecisiontogo through the BusinessOfficewas researchedwith

the way other collegesenforcetheirpollcies. He said the conclusionwas drawn becauseit administrativelyis most effective. According to Bonfiglio,health insurance is linked to registrationbecause students cannotbe cleareduntilthe final bill is paid. The requirementfor health insurance is not unusual among colleges and universities,Bonfigliosaid,althougheach school handles the process differently. Like Cabrini,_Eastern Collegerequiresall full-timeundergraduateandgraduatestudents to have healthinsurance. Accordingto Anita Marland,director of studenthealth servicesat Eastern, studentsmust have healthinsurance,and if a studentis unableto affordinsurance, financialaid can be used. This is possible becauseinsuranceis a necessaryexpense, Marlandsaid.AtEastern,if a studentdoes not submit a waiver before Sept. 15, the studentmust keep the plan providedby the schooi regardlessof any othercoverage. Widener Universityfollows a differentapproach.Widenerrequireshealth insurancebut does not enforcethe policy as strictlyas Cabriniand Easterndo. Accordingto Dr. William Larkin, director·of student services at Widener, studentsshould includeinsuranceinformation on a health history form at the beginningof each year.

Cabrini Citizen

A peek at the president by Gary White features, arts & entertainment editor

Where were you born and where did you grow up? I was born in New York, the Bronx, right after World War IL I lived there for six years before my family moved to Connecticut and bought a farm. I feel living on a farm was the best experience for being a college president. It teaches discipline and gives you the opportunity to see thirigs anew. It also teaches you trust and responsibility. Why did you choose to apply for the presidencyof Cabrini? I was at a point in my life where the next stage of development would be a presidency. I was a provost at my last college (Colby Sawyer) for 10 years. I received my masters and undergraduate degrees from Catholic colleges. I wanted a small college where community is important and students are the prime focus. I also wanted a liberal arts college, and I was impressed with the core curriculum. What type of music do you listen to? I like all kinds of music. It depends on my mood. I like classical, rock-and-roll (Elvis), pop (Bruce Springsteen) and opera. I knew all the operas when I was a child. What would you like to be rememberedfor? I think I only have one gift and talent. That is unleashing others energies. I think I only started doing that. Who would you love to meet? Robert Redford, Tom Selleck and Julio Inglesis! Seriously, Anwar Sadat is a hero of mine. I think that man had courage. I also admire the courage of Frances Xavier Cabrini. Where is your favorite

place to travel? I've never been to a place I didn't like. I spent two years in London and it was an exciting experience for me in many ways. I met people from different parts of the world, and I still keep in touch with them. I am hoping to go to Spain and Argentina soon. I would like to travel to places where the missionary sisters have high schools. What is your ultimategoal for Cabrini? To design a college for the 21st Century. The focus has to be studentcentered. My·vision is to continue positioning the college to be outstanding, and a center of excellence, as it enters the next century. What did you think of your first year here? I am very excited about my first year! I feel we need to celebrate what we do well. So, recently some of us at Cabrini went on a retreat and made a list of some of the good things we have to celebrate. Some of the things on the list are: the large number of new students, at a time when other college's enrollments are declining; receiving a 4.2 out of Dr. Iadarola stepped into the position of president last year. five on the satisfaction survey that was distributed to all students; the fact that the Dixon Challenge has almost bee·n met; updating the computer technology of the school; and being picked as a site for Clinton's national service campaign. What is your favoritecolor? Blue is my favorite color. I like all shades of blue because I find them to be soothing. If you were not a college, president what would you be? I wanted to be an actress when I was young. In high school and college I had the lead role in the productions. One of the parts I played was Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." I would also like to travel simply, in jeans with a knapsack.

FAD FEATURES

Dancing through time by Gary White (f]atures, arts & entertainment editor

In the '20s, everybody did the Charleston, while in the '30s, people were bit by the Jitterbug. People of the '40s were Fox Trotting, and in the '50s there was Jive. The '60s had everyone Twisting, the '70s brought us Disco and the '80s introduced Break Dancing. But it was not until the '90s that dancing became Vogue. Dancing has long been a source of entertainment. Whether it is the waltz or the electric slide, dancing is something shared by the old and the young. Over the years, different fads have developed in dance. Depending on the decade, people could be found swimming, breaking, trotting or moon walking. There have been elegant dances, fun dances, silly dances and dirty dances. But all seem to stay popular for a time, then a new dance takes their place. Every so often, a new dance fad would develop. People took time to learn and practice the steps, only to find a new fad had arrived. One of the first dance crazes was the Charleston. This dance was developed in Charleston, South Carolina in the early 1920s. People would pair off and literally kick up their heels as they danced back and forth. It did not take long for the dance to become a national craze. People young and old were

doing the Charleston. "I really like the Charleston," Junior Tricia Reilly said. "I went to a dance school that took me through the years in dance. I love dance! It is a great stress release and also a form of expression." When the '30s arrived, the Charleston lost steam and the Jitterbug took over. This dance involved a more subdued pairing. Instead of kicking the heels, the man would throw the girl. Through the '30s and '40s people were jittering all over. This craze was so popular that it was included in the original filming of the "Wizard Of Oz." Do to time limits, the sequence was cut, but this demonstrates the <lance's popularity. Throughout the decade, the Jitterbug evolved into a more energetic and singular dance called Jive. Many people call this the forerunner of rock-androll. It also helped popularize more singular dances. Instead of dancing in pairs, it was cool to dance alone. Most dance fads from this time on were for one instead of two .• A good example of this fact is the hit of the '60s- the twist. Chubby Checker was telling

people to do the twist, and they listened. This became so popular that other groups tried to impersonate Chubby with "The Peppermint Twist'' and "Let's Twist, Again." John Travolta helped usher in the dance of the '70s, Disco! The movie "Stayin' Alive" introduced something new to

dance- the lightning bolt move. "I think disco was a fad because of the music that was played," Sophomore Stephanie Bieg said. "Now the only people who really like it are the ones who grew up in the '70s generation." With the bell bottoms ringing, the records were spinning and Disco was the thing. The thing soon became old and something new took its place. Break dancing took over. People began getting_on their hands and spinning around. TlHs was definitely a fad for the young. But break dancing did not last and people began to moon walk and electric slide. Then Madonna had every one voguing to the music in the '90s. In addition, there was a new electric slide to learn that. was even more confusing then the original. 11 • 1 hate Madonna, but I like to dance to some of her music," Sophomore Anne Waldsburger said.

"I love doing the electric slide," Bieg said. "I love dances like the electric slide because anyone can learn it, and it gets people moving," Reilly said. How long this new fad will last is anyone's guess. "I think it will stay in for a while," Bieg said. "The cool thing about the electric slide is that people from nine to 92 know how to do it." Dancing has always been a popular pastime. How the dance trends started is hard to find out. What made them famous was people's desire to learn them. For decades, there have been dances that people could not wait to do, and ones that made a profound impact on society.

Most of the shows of this tim~, 1948-1957, relied heavily on physical comedy, movement and popular radio and stage stars. One of the big hits of the era -was "The Ed Sullivan Show."

more SOCCERfrom pg. 12 According to Hubley, all PAC games are scheduled to be played at home, which means they should be easier to win, especially with . the support of the fans. Receiving an NCAA bid is something that all the players are striving for this season. Andrews said he is certain that they will receive this bid or he will "jump off a building." Although the Cavs were d~feated by Rowan, (2-0), Hubley said he does not think this will be an important factor because, prior to the game, the Cavs only had one week of practice and many players are injured. According to Hubley, the team has not had scrimmages and therefore have not yet come out of their nests. Although Hubley did not feel the Rowan game was as important as the 3:1 victory over Baptist _ Bible game, Paolini said he thinks the NCAA bid depended a lot on the Rowan game. He said because Rowan is such a good team, a victory could have earned the Cavs the recognition necessary for a bid. All three captains stressed the importance of their roles as team leaders on and off the field.

Giles said he has three years experience as a starter and, therefore, can teach the other players some of the important things he bas learned in his previous seasons. Paolini said off the field he can offer advice to first-year players on what to expect from collegiate soccer, which is a totally different level of play. On the field Paolini, who has started since his first year, would lik~ to use his experience to help coax new players along. Tims said it is important to set a good example on and off the field. "We have to behave," Tims said. Bradley said in order to have a winning season, the team must play hard and together as a team. He also said the players need to be aware of their own individual limits. According to Hubley, the Cavs have to take one game at a time. He said the team will be good if it can have consistent offense, because the defense is already consistent. "The only way we are going to win is if we believe," Bradley said.

Last week in the world of sports by Bob Macartney

sports editor The Philadelphia Phillies have cut their magic number to under 20, and with barely over 30 games remaining on the schedule, they hold a nearly insurmountable eight-and-a-half game lead over the second place Montreal Expos. Not only are the Phils running away with the National League East title, but they are also setting records in the process. Last Saturday night, the Phils scored five runs in a loss to the Cincinnati Reds. However, when the first run crossed the plate in the second inning, the Phillies avoided being shutout for the 151st consecutive game, a National League record. Individually, the Phils are having excellent seasons as well. Lenny Dykstra, the centerfielder, leadoff hitter and catalyst of the offense, is making a run at MVP honors. He has scored 126 runs, 15 more than his nearest competitor. He has drawn 114 walks, is hitting over .300 and has 16 home runs from the leadoff spot. Catcher Darren Daulton has hit 23 home runs and has driven in 94 runs. First baseman John Kruk, the

cult hero of every beer league softball player, is hitting .325 and has drawn 101 walks. He is second in the league in on-base percentage. Outfielder Pete Incaviglia has hit 23 home runs and has driven in 82 runs on only 90 hits. As for the pitching staff, Tommy Greene leads a starting rotation that has seen all five starters win at least 10 games. Greene is 13-3 on the year. Closer Mitch Williams has set a career high with 37 saves this season, and the rest of the bullpen has held up the fort for the "Wild Thing." By the way, in case you have not noticed, the football season began last weekend. The Eagles started off their first season of the post-Reggie White era with.a 2317 victory over the Phoenix Cardinals. Randall Cunningham still remains in the "City of Brotherly Love" and could possibly take the Birds to the playoffs. Cunningham threw for 190 yards on Sunday and ran for another 50 in the process. Rookie running back Vaughn Hebron continued to shine. Hebron ran for 66 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries in his NFL debut. Can anybody say Wilbert? Even head puppet.. .I mean head

coach Rich Kotite, didn't even mess up this victory, although he sure tried. Somebody tell Rich that he shouldn't scrap his offense and go to the conservative game plan when there are still 10 minutes left in the game. As for bonehead moves, how about those Sixers? Let's trade Hersey Hawkins, our one bona fide all-star, away for a washed-up power forward and a 5 '9" third guard. Dana Barros would be a good acquisition if the team needed to add that one player to get them over the top, but he is not the answer to the Sixers' woes. I do like Greg Graham, and getting their draft pick back was key (since they will be lottery bound once again.) Where does Harold Katz go for advice? Norman Braman? Let's finish on a positive note. Eric Lindros returns for his second season, and the addition of Mikhael Renberg to the forward rotation will definitely help. The Swedish goaltenders should prosper while working in a platoon situation, and Mark Recchi continues to be one of the most underrated players in the NHL. Look for the Flyers to come out with a more rugged style this season. Well, that's this past week in sports. As Mel Allen said, "See ya next week" for last week in sports.

A Quote to Note "There is a game scheduled today. We have to play it. We might as well ~in." -Bill Russell

One of the hardest transitions for athletes to make is the jump from high school to college. Dealing with the stress of competing on the playing field, as well as the classroom, at the· college level often takes its toll on first-year students. With that in mind, the crop of this year's first-year studentathletes came to Cabrini for the first time last week for the Fall Sports Camp. These first-year athletes, who will compete in five different fall sports, learned the rigorous practice schedule of

Cabrini's respective head coaches and also sampled a little bit of the campus atmosphere. Jen Wiederwax, a first-year field hockey player, said she expects to find the transition "challenging, both on and off the field." Michaelle Mcilvaine, a tennis player, said, "I expect to do really well at tennis, as well as in school." What exactly causes some of the problems that these first-y.ear athletes encounter? For some, being away from home for the first time is a little overwhelming, and their performance begins to suffer. For others, making new friends and gaining acceptance by their teammates is a troubling

Soccer team kicks off season

by Kelly McDonald

co-news editor

Most teams mourn the loss of their graduating seniors, especiallyif that group includes the leading goal scorer in school history, but this year's Cavaliers are. looking ahead. The team's three captains, Seniors Jason Giles and Jason Paolini and Junior Mike Tims, agreed this year's team is solid in every position. Giles said the Cavs lost some quality players, but the team definitely gained more players than they lost. He said that although the team lost Glen Jaskelewicz, last year's leading goal scorer, this season's game plan will not be focused around one player, and all forwards will have an equal chance at scoring goals. Paolini agreed the Cavs lost a good scorer but added that last year's seniors held back the rest of the team because they did not exhibit team unity. Coach Duncan Hubley said Jaskelewicz is irreplaceablebut Senior Brendan Ryan and Sophomore Joe Ricci will be relied upon to score goals. According to Giles, thisyear's team contains the most depth since he entered Cabrinithreeyears ago. He said, '"The~ys coming off the bench are just as good, if not better, thanthe guys on the field." Senior Dan Bradley compared this year's squad to previous years. He said, '"Theteam isstrong in every position, and everyone has the ability to contribute." With loss there comes gain. For the Cavs, thismeans a new starting goalie as well as young blood on the team. Hubley mentioned that First-year student Jeff Winters and Junior Bill Bono will be key contnbutors throughout the season because they are tougher, harder and fasterplayers. Winterssaid his goal for the season

is to play hard and to play a lot. Winters said he would like to step up a level in his ability and· increase his endurance in the upcoming season. In net, Sophomore Jim Andrews will also be an asset to the team. Andrews, whose primary position is goalie, replaces Kevin Gaherty, a field player placed in goal last year. Andrews, a transfer student from Ohio Wesleyan, has recovered 90 percent physically from a knee injury. Andrews said he has recovered 100 percent emotionally, which he thinks is the most essential aspect. Andrews said, "I would risk another injury to play the garne .. .lf you are not ready to take that risk, you should not be playing." In reference to his new teammates, Andrews said this year's Cavs do not have one superstar . He said, "We win and lose as a team." According to Bradley, Andrews is a Division I caliber goalie because he knows the game and has the skills of a-field player. Hubley said Andrews is an excellent goaltender and hopes he remains healthy throughout the season. Also in the goalie position, the Cavs have Junior Wally Fiore who, according to Hubley, is playing well. Fiore, whose primary position is a field player, will be the backup to Andrews. If Andrews is unable to play, Fiore said he will jump in and try to save the game. "Everyone says I am a good athlete and I catch the ball well," Fiore said, "and that is why I could fill this position if necessary." This year is different because the majority of the team is residing on campus. Paolini said this will make a difference in the upcoming season because the team will be living together as a unit. Oddly enough, the

last time the Cavs won a championship was Paolini's first year, when the entire team lived on campus. "The more we bond, the closer we are," Paolini said, "and the communication will be better on the field because we know each other and how we are going to react in certain situations." According to Tims, if teammates are close and they all like one another, they are more likely to help one another. For instance, Tims said, if a player is having a bad game, another

player will pick him up on the field. As for expectations of the upcoming season, winning the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) and receiving an NCAA bid seem to be among the team's top priorities. Tims said the Cavs have a definite chance at winning the tournament because they retained most of

In Septemberof 1976, Men's Athletic Director Jolyon Girard was happy to announce a "new addition to fall sports." With that statement, the Cabrini Soccer Clinic started under the direction of Carter Craigie. Practices were held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3 to 4:30 p.m.on a converted hockey field. Practices were open to mernhers of both sexes, and two women came out to play for the team. According to Craigie, the two women, Linda Close and Vickie Puccio, were really good players. In an article written for the September 1976 issue of Loquitur, Maureen Larkin wrote, "The student body's response to the new soccer clinic was very enthusiastic." By October 1976, the possibility of fielding a team was under ·consideration.

On October 18, that possibility became reality, as Cabrini took on Swarthmore College. Craigie said, "We arrived at Swarthmore and could not believe the size of the field. It was a really BIG field." Despite some excellent goaltending by Mark Cooperrider, Cabrini dropped the game by a score of 4-0. Cabrini soccer's first captain was Len DeFoggia, who played midfield in the game. The "team" went on to play one more game in that inaugural season, against Valley Forge, on October 27. Valley Forge's team consisted of Iranian students who were wellskilled in the game. Cabrini lost 7-0. These two games were the only two played in that first_season. In 1977, soccer achieved team status and added four players that could really play. Craigie said, "We added four

good guys who had played in the evening division. Hawk Bryant was an excellent offensive player, Monk Rapine was a big fullback, Loupie Langton could really handle the ball and Joe Winoski was a real scorer. We started to get a little better that season." On September 16, 1977, the first goal in the history of the team was scored by Walt Williams. However, the Cavs dropped the game to United Wesleyan by a score of 3-2. The first victory for the team came the following day as they defeated Philadelphia Community College, 20. The goals were scored by Bryant and Winoski. That season turned out extremely well for the team. The Cavs finished the season with a 6-2-3 record. One game in particular stands out for Craigie, a game against Allentown in that second season. According to Craigie, "They didn't want to play us because we had

two girls on the team. It was a rainy day, and there was a huge mud puddle on the field. Their fans were really giving it to Vickie Puccio. She got the ball and started dribbling downfield. A big halfback for Allentown tried to take the ball from her. She gated him, put the ball right through his legs and then hipchecked him into the mud puddle. He landed face down, and she went on to pass off for a goal." The team scored several goals that second season, outscoring their opponents 44-28. Winoski led the way with 18 goals, and Bryant added 14 assists. Following that season, the program started to take off. When Girard decided to play against some schools from out of state, Craigie, who had just become a father, had to step down from his position. Langton became head coach, and the rest is ...
