Recent incidenttests cheatingpolicy

by Doug Eppler copy editor and writing coach

Undoubtedly every college student would love to know all the answers. Even faculty members and administrators acknowledge the pressure of tests and exams. 1\vo Cabrini students, however, recently tried to steal all the answers.

Near the end oflast semester, two education majors attempted to steal a final exam. According to sources close to the students in question, the pair was caught and denied permission to receive teacher's certification from the college.

Although exact details of the recent events remain confidential, Dr. Thomas Boeke, provost, said, in any caseofreported cheating, his office employs the college's academic honesty policy.

Revised over the years, the policy appears each year in the student handbook.

According to the policy, "stu-

dents electing to attend Cabrini College are expected to manifest honesty and personal integrity in all aspects of their education-- in both the fonnal learning environment and in their out-of-class experience."

To determine whether or not a student is in violation of the policy, an individual faculty member is required to notify the student, present evidence to the student and "give a preliminary determination of whetherornot the student violated the policy." The policy then lists a range of appropriate penalties, ranging from a lowered assignment grade to possible expulsion from the college.

Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, knows what it means to expel a student. From 1979 to 1988, Romano served as academic dean of the college. Reflecting on those years, he recalled one incident which struck him as "horrendous."

Romano said a group of students approached him to report that some-

Consistency needed in school closing policy The recent winter storms that dropped an unbelievable amount of snow and ice upon the Delaware Valley created more that just hazardous road conditions. They have created confusion among the college community, in regard to Cabrini's policies on school closings. or delayed openings. . Many of the students are unaware of the format administrators use when deciding "weather" or not to close the college or delay the opening. There should be one policy.

This past Thursday, the road conditions were treacherous at best, yet the college decided to open on time. Students on campus braved the cold, only to arrive at an empty classroom. Some commuters also attempted the ride to Cabrini, only to find out their class was canceled.

Residents were then urged to leave campus and travel the unsafe roads to their homes. If the college feels that the roads are too dangerous for the commuters to come to Cabrini, what makes them safe enough for the residents to go home?

The student handbook says merely that students should listen to KYW for information. Yet, in a situation such as the most recent storm, students were first told school was open, then closed for the evening, then closed until Monday.

The administration should have one very distinct policy on notification of the students. Perhaps an addendum to the emergency procedures manual, or a memorandum to the college community. Then the administration should make the policy known to the college community. As the saying goes, not knowing is the worst.

lups and Downs Once again, the walkways around Cabrini were clear of ice and snow. Physical plant has proven that they know snow.

The gym was locked by security Sunday after the Superbowl.

Residents who tried to play basketball were told the building was closed.

What happened to recycling on campus? We all need to chip in and do our part in saving the environment, so let us start with aluminum cans.

The registrar extended the drop/add period to compensate for the snow days. That was a great help to all the students.

will be following me until the day she dies."

Wanting a person and pursuing them does not necessarily fall under the category of obsession. While there is a very thin line that separates the two, there is a distinction. There is a want that needs to be fulfilled with lust but not to the point of "I must have them!"

Matt Darlington, a sophomore, said he lusts after a girl he knows he will never have. His lust makes him think of her "24/7." He said he has even watched pornos and thought of her.

Kendra Martin, a junior, said she went out of her way to be with someone, but because of miscommunication, nothing happened. "I stay away from that stuff," Martin said.

Obsessions are usually viewed as a negative action. Some obsessions have resulted in 'positive results, as it did with Jennifer Paliaro, a sophomore.

For three years, Paliaro searched for a guy she had met a dance. She asked friends for yearbooks to look up his picture, and she leafed through phone. book to find his number. After the relentless search, she found him. "Until I found him, I thought about him all the time," Paliaro said. They had a fivemonth relationship after they were reunited.

Steve Husted, first-year student, has also been obsessive. It began as lust and then graduated into obsession, be said.

"I would call her Lor go to parties that I knew she was at," Husted said.

Husted has also confused love with lust, only he did not realize it until after he had slept with the girl.

"Until then, I thought I loved her.

Only after we were together did I realize it was just a lust for her," Husted said.

Feelings and attractions for the opposite sex are powerful. They can cause a person to be absolutely elated or psychologically unbalanced.

Why certain people react to their feelings differently than others is one of the great mysteries of life. Just as no one can explain why Tonya married a man like Jeff, obsession, lust and love will forever elude humankind.

None of us are exempt from these threefacts oflife. We can try to run, but we can not hide. One day someone of the opposite sex will be standing there, looking ever so attractive, and love, obsession or lust will take over and do the rest.

The MAC machine on campus allowed students and faculty to access cash easily. The new machine will enable people to do all their banking, including deposits.

Campus left without MAC, new machine soon to come

by Tim Wonson staff writer

Tension mounted, as the rumors began to grow. The MAC machine was going to leave us. The low murmurofthe machines'smotor would be silenced forever, until Dr. Robert · Bonfiglio, vice president of student affairs, came to the rescue.

The student government association (SGA) tried extensively to find a new bank to keep the machine alive, but there were none to be found. Patricia Daley, a senior and president of SGA, said, "We did not have trouble finding a bank, we had trouble finding one we could afford."

SGA has not yet decided if it is going to keep investing club funds within the Bryn Mawr Trust Company.

Bonfiglio stumbled across an idea, while visiting Haverford College. Bonfiglio noticed Haverford' s MAC machine is managed by an unlikely bank.

Berkeley Federal Bank and Trust at first seems to be like any other bank. There is one main exception. It is located in Florida.

Berkeley is not only looking to be a money machine here on campus, but an entire bank.

Greg Patrick, a representative for Berkeley, said, "The way we approach it, and the way we have been successful on college campuses, is that we are looking to acquire checking accounts. We are looking to become a long-term bank for the student."

Berkeley has also set up machines in Bryn Mawr and on St. Joseph's campus.

According to Bonfiglio, the deal is not etched in stone. "There is a 99 percent chance that the machine will go in," Bonfiglio said.

However, Patrick said he was positive the deal would happen.

"I think it will happen," Patrick said, "and

I think we can be successful at Cabrini. I just have to convince my supervisers of that. We normally look at schools that are larger or have more residential students, because commuters are not as ready to switch banks."

The new machine will be more then what it is now. The plan is to set up a 10-by-10 foot keyos, which is a small building made of mahogany.

"It is really quite beautiful," Patrick said.

"Inside the keyos will be a cash machine and a computer. People will be able to carry out all of their banking transactions on a touchsensitive screen. The machine will not only deposit checks, but also cash checks, and even deliver coins. .

"If all goes well it will be in at the beginning of the second semester," Bonfiglio said.

"It is just part of the renovations scheduled."

The absence of the MAC machine in the Widener Center has been an inconvience to students as well as faculty.

First-year student Tracey Roesener said it is an inconvience to her because she does not drive and now she has to depend on someone to take her to a MAC machine.

According to Bud Mellon, communications center superviser, the MAC machine on campus made it easy for him to do his banking because he works nights, and banks are not always open.

He said being without MAC really hurts continuing education students who come right from work to class.

"If they wanted dinner in the wigwam, they had convenient access to cash," Mellon said.

On the other hand, senior Brendan Noone said the machine was a card-eater, and it is. better that it is out of the school. \ Noone said it is not much of an inconvience to him because he lives off camus.

office. After a series of questions, Romano "pieced it together." As a result, one senior was not allowed to graduate, and two students were expelled from the school.

Romano added, however, that this incident is the only one that truly stands out in his minds as a significant violation of the policy.

Dr. Joi yon Girard, chairperson of the history department, said he can remember a handful of students whose violations warranted failing grades in his 20 years at Cabrini. The faculty handbook instructs professors to consult the student handbook for the policy but adds that "individual professors should exercise their own judgment in the courses of action to be taken, if a student is found cheating." Girard's policy: "I flunk you in the course."

Girard added that he has flunked only those whom he has caught. Over the years, he has been approached by students who reported their classmates were cheating. Because, however, these students waited, until the class was over, Girard simply told them, "WelJ, there's one that got away."

Neither Girard nor Romano, however, felt academic dishonesty to be a disproportional problem at Cabrini. They cited the school's small size and personal contact as deterrents against the temptation and need for dishonest conduct. '.'I've said time and time again the fundamental thing that I really like about Cabrini College is the quality of the students," Girard said.

According to Boeke, however, even

Friday, Feb 4, 1994 the most respectable students fall under enormous pressure as waves of exams crash upon them. He said it has been his experience that reports of cheating increase in institutions as exams draw closer.

When asked for his thoughts on the effects of cheating, Boeke answered simply, "It destroys civilization."

According to the policy, the Office of Academic Affairs shall keep a confidential file of academic honesty violation reports and will monitor "multiple infractions by an individual and take appropriate action."

The office will keep these reports for six years after the end of the academic year in which the incident occurred.

The policy goes on to say that if an instructor suggests expulsion, the Office of Academic Affairs will notify the vice-president for academic affairs and a review process will begin.

If a student can demonstrate the instructor's decision was unsubstantiated, he or she may appeal the decision by contacting the academic dean.

If an appeal is filed, the dean is then required to form a committee consisting of the instructor's academic dean, the.student's advisor and the dean.

In the case of course failure due to academic dishonesty, such a committee is automatically formed to evaluate the ruling.

In any event, knowing all the answers by studying may be difficult.

Acquiring them through cheating, however, may be costly.

In 1986, Bryde was appointed resident manager of houses and worked in campus ministry. A year later, she became a full-time campus minister, but left Cabrini in 1988 to teach at Widener University.

"I enjoyed the time I spent in campus ministry, but I wanted to get back to teaching full time," Bryde said.

With her doctorate in education, Bryde returned to Cabrini in 1990 to teach, as well as to coordinate the secondary education program.

"Cabrini is a special place," Bryde said. "The students, faculty and staff are concerned and really care how you are doing. You won't find that at many colleges."

Admittedly, Bryde does not run as much as she used to. With her job responsibilities, a one-year-old son, Brian, and another child due at the end of April, she has not run seriously in at least two years. She also enjoys many other outdoor activities, even though her preg-

nancy only allows her to watch from the sidelines.

Although she hasn't picked out a name for her second child yet, both she and her husband want the baby's name to begin with the letter 'B.' "We're the 'B' family," Bryde said.

"I'm Beverly, my husband is Bruce and my son is Brian. Whether it's a boy or a girl, we want our child to have a 'B' name."

Once her children get a little older, Bryde hopes to become more involved with the community outside her north Wilmington, Del. home.

"With a family starting to grow, it's difficult to become involved in community activities," Bryde said. "Someday, I would like to do more volunteer work."

And would Bryde ever consider seriously running again once her children are grown?

"I don't think so," she said. "Not unless I can trade in my knees."

Affirming the differences

by Gary White features, arts & entertainment editor If you have read John Grisham 's national bestseller, "The Firm" and saw the movie of the same name, you have experienced two different works. Al.though both are well-crafted and interesting, the only thing they have in common is the title.

"The Firm" is the story of Mitch McDeare. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and is being pursued by all the major law firms. Bendini, Lambert and Locke, a small Memphis firm, is the one who wins Mitch. The firm pays him a lot of money and supply a very low interest rate mortgage in order to purchase a house.

The firm also supplies Mitch with a car, a BMW in the book and a Mercedes in the movie. This is only one of the changes that occurred in making "The Firm," the national bestselling novel, into "The Firm," the movie.

From the start of the film, it is obvious there are differences between the two.

One of these differences occur when Mitch is being interviewed by the partners of Bendini, Lambert and Locke. In the movie, Mitch says he does not have a brother. The firm finds out about Ray, his brother, later in the story. In the book, Mitch tells them up-front that he has a brother. There does not seem to be a solid reason why this change is made.

Some other differences involve the character of Tammy, played in the movie by Holly Hunter.

In the movie, Tammy is present when her boss is killed, and she sees the men who kill him. In the book, Tammy is not there when it happens, and how she knows who killed her boss is really unclear. I prefer the movie to the book in this area.

Another difference with Tammy is the seduction of Avery.

In the movie, Mitch's wife, Abby, seduces Avery. In the book, it is Tammy who does the deed. This change may have been necessary because of another change the writers made.

In the book, Mitch never tells his wife about his affair on the beach. In fact, the last line of the book has Abby asking Mitch if he has ever made love on the beach. Mitch says no.

In the movie, Mitch tells his wife about the affair, and Abby is about to leave town, but she stays in order to save Mitch from being caught by the firm.

This leads to the seduction of Avery, and possibly why it is Abby who gets Avery in bed, and not Tammy. Really who seduced Avery is unimportant, but it is different.

Tammy also is involved with another difference between the book and the movie. At the end of the movie, Tammy and Ray sail off on a boat together. In the book, Tammy stays behind, and Ray sails off with Mitch and Abby. I personally like Tammy and Ray leaving together better. The only question is what happens to Tammy's husband, Elvis, This leads me to the biggest change between the book and movie. The movie developed a storyline that was completely non-existent in the book. This is the storyline dealing with mail fraud.

In the book, Mitch is asked by the FBI to help catch the firm. The firm's lawyers represent the mob, and the FBI

know it. The only way for Mitch to help is by revealing information his clients have told him in confidence. A breach of client confidentiality is grounds for disbarment.

In spite of this, Mitch obliges and gives the FBI the information they need.

In turn, the FBI releases Mitch's brother from jail, gives Mitch a couple of million dollars and offers to enter Mitch in the witness protection program.

Instead, Mitch makes his own plans and he, Ray and Abby sail off for nowhere in particular. As I said, I like Ray leaving with Tammy better.

In the movie, the FBI also asks for Mitch's help, but Mitch finds a different way to catch the firm. One that does not involve breaching lawyer -client confidentiality.

Mitch catches the firm on-mail fraud.

This way he can keep his license and continue to practice law. Instead of sailing off into the sunset, Mitch and Abby drive away in the beat-up car they started out in. I guess it is pretty obvious that Abby decided to stay with Mitch. This is true in both the movie and the book.

This change in plot made a lot of the adventure that occurred in the book unnecessary. In the book, Mitch is chased over half the country, but in the movie, this is all cut out. There also are some scenes not included, in which Mitch goes to see his mother in Florida A possible reason for this final change could be that the writers wanted the movie to have a happy ending. Another possible reason could be the writers wanted to have an opening for a sequel.

Whatever the reason, these changes make the book and movie versions of "The Firm" very different.

It makes people wonder why the writers do not follow the book and use their own ideas for another movie. This way, they can have two movies, instead of one, and make twice the money. Then again, people may not come, because it does not have a familiar name for a title.

The stories of Scott Dorsey, assistant director of resident life I both read and saw "The Firm." The book was better. The investigator has a larger and better role in the book. The wife also had a more important part in the book. The characters had less power in the movie.

I whether or not Jake will win is really unexciting. The real suspense develops when the Ku Klux Klan starts extracting revenge.

It is also pretty obvious who Grisham wants us to like. Jake is portrayed as a hero. I saw him as an unethical, uncaring, publicity-hungry, young lawyer. He wants to win this case so he can become famous. There is nothing wrong with wanting to become well-known, but I think ethics are more important.

Grisham also wants the reader to hope Carl Lee is freed. Grisham makes it seem like everyone should do what Carl Lee did. He paints the picture of it being the strong and right thing to do.

I do not feel Carl Lee did the right thing. He killed two men, without giving them the opportunity for a fair trial.

Later, he wants a fair trial.

I really sympathized with Hailey when his daughter was raped, but I do not feel this gives him the right to kill some men, no matter how bad they were.

Another area Grisham explains very well, but that makes me worry, is how the jury is picked and the unethical measures some lawyers use to win a case. I was very upset by the way the legal system was portrayed. It made me realize it is very hard to get a fair trial in this land of equality.

The novel does a good job of making you think. Is there a time to kill? I say no. But everyone has the right to an opinion.

Making Movies 'The Client' goes from book to movie

by Gary White features, arts & entertainment editor

If John Grisham' s most recent bestseller, "The Client," were made into a movie; here are some suggestions I have for the cast:

Mark Sway, the 11-year-old who becomes the client- Tommy Michaels Reggie Love, the 52-year-old lawyer who takes on Mark's case- Patty Duke Judge Henry Roosevelt, Reggie's good friend in children's court- James Earl Jones Dianne Sway, Mark's mother- Cheryl Ladd Clint, Reggie's faithful secretaryJerry Seinfeld Momma Love, Reggie's Italian cooking and big-hearted mother- Marion Ross Barry Muldanno, the mobster who begins the whole mess by killing a senator- Al Pacino Jerome Clifford, the suicidal lawyer who tells Mark something he should not have- Jerry Van Dyke Dr. Greenway, the doctor who treats Mark's younger brother- Dick Van Dyke Foltrigg, the smug FBI agent who seems to always be a step behind Mark and Reggie- James Cann In "The Firm," the main character is a man. In "The Pelican Brief," the main character is a woman. In Grisham 's newest novel, "The Client," the main character is Mark Sway, an 11-year-old child.

But Mark is not your average child. He is mature way beyond his years. He

by Christina Feehan assistant arts & entertainment editor

As sunburned masses walked along the boardwalk, some things were common. A lazy day on the beach filled with leisure, suntan lotion and the sounds of little children splashing in the ocean was in store for all.

One item clutched in the hands of many adults was a book by John Grisham entitled "The Pelican Brief." It was the latest in the trilogy of books written by the lawyer-turned-writer.

Later in the year, these once-tanned bodies stood in over-long lines, awaiting an overly long version (141 minutes), of the book that only months before topped the bestseller charts.

Darby Shaw, played by Julia Roberts, the main character, is the Tulane law student-heroine who prepares the peli-

The Pelican Brief

smokes, cares for his family and knows a secret the FBI is dying to know and for which the mob would kill to keep quiet.

This secret is the basis of the whole novel.

"The Client" is like most of Grisham's novels in its intensity, suspense and surprise. It is unlike his other novels, however, in that the main character is not a lawyer or a law student, but a child. This sets "The Client" apart from his other novels.

The book does have a lawyer in it, though. Her name is Reggie Love.

One of the bad things about adapting a book for a movie is how much history of the characters is lost.

If this novel were made into a movie, the history of Reggie Love would be left out, most likely. The viewer would not know about her marriage and subsequent divorce. The viewer would not know that Reggie went crazy and tried to commit suicide. Also, the friendship between Reggie and Clint would not be as special, because the audience would not know about their days together in drug rehab and how much they meant to each other when they were there.

The history of Jerome "Rommy" Clifford also would be lost if "The Client" were made into a movie. Rommy is not a very lovable character, but there is more to him than it first seems. He is the lawyer for the mob, yet he wants to do the right thing. He wants to kill himself, but he wants to do it without pain.

Clifford is full of oxy-morons.

There is a good side to making a book into a movie, however. It is possible to cut out unnecessary parts of the book and make the story stronger.

In "The Firm," so many changes were made that the movie was completely different. In "The Pelican Brief," the writers were closer to the book. In "The Clint," a little deviation from the book would be a good thing.

"The Client" starts out fast and frenzied. From the beginning, the story is interesting. As the book goes on, however, the speed gets slower, and the suspense gets weaker. If Grisham had left

MovieReview 1 can brief as an explanation for the murder of two Supreme Court justices, linking their deaths with a cover-up that goes as high as the White House.

Thomas Callahan, Shaw's lover-professor, is presented with this brief but is killed before he is given the chance to react to it.

To remain alive, Shaw receives help from a D.C. investigative reporter named Gray Grantham, played by Denzel Washington.

These two stars steal the movie, but are never given the chance to really shine.

Director Alan J. Pakula spends too much time and energy hammering away at the plot and does not give Roberts and Washington the freedom to create the characters that Grisham worked so hard to develop.

Pakula mistakes this potboiler for a political thriller and therefore removes the instinct for zest for which Grisham is famous.

All those once-tanned bodies who could not put the book down in the summer were let down in the winter, when "The Pelican Brief" debuted in theaters.

Grisham said he was thinking of Roberts when he developed the character of Darby Shaw. Not only is she attractive, but she can act and gave more to the screen this time than audiences ever remember.

In particular, the scene when Callahan

is killed in a car-bombing after his insistence on driving while intoxicated. Roberts not only reveals shock, but she also fear, anger, disbelief, guilt and loss.

The book was intense, but the movie seemed to drag. This story could not remain interesting for the 141 minutes it was on the screen.

Many spent too much time concentrating on comparing the movie to the book and missed the enjoyment of watching a film. This movie was pretty faithful in sticking close to the original novel.

Others were confused about the plot, because so many things were happening at once. The book does a much better job at describing the situation in a comprehensible way.

Most other actors just pretend in front of the camera, but Roberts bears her soul.

Washington plays his unwritten role with great finesse, but without him and Roberts, there would be no life to this melodrama.

Like any movie, some viewers were glued to their seats while others roamed aimlessly for more popcorn.

Whatever the case, this blockbuster grossed $16.7 million during opening weekend, so Pakula, Roberts and Washington must have done something right.

There is no doubt that Grisham did.

Just ask anyone seen on the boardwalk clutching suntan lotion and "The Pelican Brief."

Now, in adapting for the movie, the writers have the chance to cut out these pages and tighten the story.

The basic premise of the story is this: Just before witnessing the suicide of Jerome Clifford, a mob lawyer, Mark Sway is told by him where the body of the first U.S. senator killed in office is hidden. The FBI needs this information, in order to bring the murder trial to court. With no body, it is hard to prove murder.

The mob also is anxious to find Mark, so they can prevent this information from hitting the wrong ears.

Throughout the book, Mark's main concern is trying to avoid being killed.

All he has to do is tell his secret and subsequently be put in the witness protection program. However, he decides against this alternative, since he has seen too many movies in which nobody lives very long in the program; so he decides to keep his secret.

The last 150 pages take Reggie and Mark on an absurd trip to New Orleans, to see if the body is really where Rommy said it was. It is.

Mark tells bis secret, and he and his family leave to live under witness protection.

If "The Client" is made into a movie, hopefully this conclusion will be changed into something better. If so, the story will be much more suspenseful and interesting

more LIBRARY from 1 bar code on the book and updates the entry in the on-line catalog, to show the book has been checked out. This way, the user, sitting at home in pajamas, will not make a fruitless trip to the library.

In addition to making the library look more modern and improving user access, this system will facilitate analyses of the library's collection and usage patterns.

Librarians will be able to discover, easily, what percentage of the chemistry books were published after 1975, or how muc~ business they have given a particular publisher in the last five years.

They also will be able to tell which books, and which types of books, are heavily, or sparingly, used. This information will be useful in planning how to spend acquisition dollars.

Mudrick is so enthusiastic about this project that she pushed it off the ground before there was funding for the effort.

In the beginning, Mudrick and Sulekha Kalyian, technical services director for the library, solicited volunteer workers from the Cabrini community to do the conversion.

Since that time, the effort has been continued by student workers and the library staff.

The library has received money for two consecutive years from the Arcadia Foundation, a philanthropic organiza-

tion based in Norristown, Pa., specifically to support the retrospective conversion.

The 1994 grant of nearly $20,000 will pay the salaries to two temporary parttime workers, Kristen Sweger, 1993 graduate, and Lynette Berardi.

According to Mudrick, it is difficult to get money for this type of project now, because it no longer is a hot topic.

It was a popular funding target when the first few libraries converted a few years ago, but many charitable organizations that funded those efforts are not intere~ted in continuing to fund this type of work.

The database is being built at Cabrini, rather than contracted out, because that is the only way to ensure the data being put into the system is accurate.

"Retrospective," in the project title means the information is being computerized for all the books and not just new books, as some libraries do.

As the database is developed, librarians will check to be sure the books are still in the library, in good shape, and appropriate to keep.

Mudrick estimates that, if funding continues at the current level, the database should be ready in about five years.

She said volunteers to work on the project are always welcome.

Acceleratedprogramdemandsdedication

by Catherine Smotherman assistant news editor

,.__;;;.

For lots of reasons-- no doubt some undergraduates can conjure up a few-- sometimes a person who starts college does not complete a degree before moving on to something else in life.

And often they are very aware that they left something incomplete, even though, in the meantime, they have accomplished many other things.

In the past 10 years, many programs have begun at colleges across the country, designed to help older students finish their degrees without dropping out of the lives they have estab-

lished.

At Cabrini, the program is called COMP, which stands for Cabrini Organizational Management Program. It permits qualified students to earn a B.A. in organizational management in 18 months of accelerated study.

Program administrators feel very strongly aboutwhatmakesastudentqualifiedforCOMP. Generally, every student is required to have already earned 60 credit hours, but prior college training is only part of what they look for in a student. The more important qualification is experience, usually work experience.

According to Dr. Valerie Hollis, program director for COMP, the teaching method is

very interactive, with each student serving as a resource for the other students in the group, so we do not accept students who have not reached a certain level of maturity.

The program has an age requirement of 25 years and is designed primarily for students with extensive business experience, but as long as the student is old enough to have garnered a fair amount of experience of any type, be or she will be considered.

Professors in the program, who generally have both business and prior teaching experience, see a definite difference between COMP students and traditional undergraduates.

"There's a maturity of the students," Paul Coleman, a COMP instructor, said. "They're more goal oriented. Their work experience helps them know why they're in school. They're very dedicated in what they're doing. Sometimes that makes you do a better job."

"The students get interested in learning and excited about their new accomplishments," Jayne Lytle, associate director of COMP, said.

"All those years I taught undergrad, I pride myself on being a gdod teacher," Hollis said, "but I never had any feedback that I was making a difference in someone's life. That's the thing that charges me up. You can make people's dreams come true."

The students are just as enthusiastic about the program.

Comparing COMP to her original college e::qx:rience 25 years ago, Pat Schaible, COMP graduate and executive assistant to a vicepresident at MerckResearch Laboratories, said school was 1000 percent better for her this time around.

Schaible obviously got caught up in the experience. "The harder I worked, the more I worked," she said. "Everything I did was centered around it."

During her second trimester in the program, Schaible worked full-time, took Spanish three days each week during her lunch hour, took a three-hour math class each Tuesday night and spent four hours every Thursday night at Cabrini, in her COMP class.

According to Hollis, some faculty members were skeptical about COMP when the program first started. Hollis said the contact with COMP students, especially through seeing the projects, has won over some faculty members.

COMPis an academically rigorous program, Hollis said. It includes a series of 15 courses, called modules, offered over an 18month period. These modules and an independent research project are worth 42 credit hours and constitute the major.

Beyond these modules, each COMP student must take the seminar for the common good, have a total of 123 credits and fulfill all core curriculum requirements of other under-

graduates.

The project is an important part of the program. Each student is expected to spend a minimum of250 hours working on the project, which is generally integrated with their job.

These projects are not just big research papers; students are required to make something happen in the "real" world.

Patricia K Lockhart is a COMP student and assistanttothe COMP director. She is retired from Merck Research Laboratories, where she was the contnbutions and community affairsmanager.

Her project is to establish a retiree volunteer program at Merck Merck has hired consultants, who are training the retirees to run their own program, and there is a committee of retirees involved in getting the effort going,. However, it is Lockhart who makes it happen.

"It provides a resource for the community and an opportunity for the retirees to get together," Lockhart said.

She estimates she has already put in more than 500 hours on her project, and she is not through.

There are several types of accelerated programs available at colleges in this area. The program most similar to COMP the one atneighboring ~tern College.

Since the recent earthquake in Los Angeles, the normal 500 arrests a day amazingly have decreased to 50 arrests.

Lt. John Dunkin, chief spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department, said arr increase in the number of officers worked to decrease crime.

On Wednesday, Jan. 27, the numberof officers patrolling the streets will return to normal, except in the most dangerous areas.

0 Thursday, Jan. 27- Russia's chemi-

cal arms exposed.

In Moscow, a Russian scientist, Vil S. Mirzayanov, was arrested on Thursday.

He was arrested for revealing state secrets, by writing about Moscow's weapon program.

Mirzayanov wished not to testify at his own trial, which has been closed due to the prosecution's evidence being largely based on a number of secret documents.

0 Friday,Jan. ii-Five-alarm fire in south Philadelphia.

On Friday, a five-alarm fire started in the basement of the Rising Sun Saint Baptist Church, located in Philadelphia, on 13 and Fitzwater. Firefighters began putting out the fire with hand-held hoses, until it raged out of control.

The magnificent flames forced about nine firefighters into hospitals, to receive treatment for smoke inhalation and minor burns. The fire also resulted in the lost lives of Philadelphia firefighters, John Redmond and Vincent Acey.

The Rising Sun church had over 300 members, who said they are very sad to see their church burned down. Many said they were truly grateful to all the firefighters who attempted to save their church. Many hope to rebuild the church.

Cabrini and region get new area code

by Tim Wonson staff writer

The area code in southeastern Pennsylvania has been changed. The area code 215 will soon be out of service in this area. It has been replaced by a new number, 610.

The reason Bell of Pennsylvania has changed the code is because area code 215 has run out of numbers. Itis no longer out of the ordinary to find a house that needs and uses more then one phone line.

Businesses often have many lines, as well as computers and fax machines. The growth of cellular phones has also increased the need for new numbers.

The counties that the new area code will affect are Chester and Delaware. Philadelphia, most of Bucks County and a portion of Mongomery County will remain under the 215 area code. These counties will not be divided by 100 percent, though, and neither will Lehigh, Berks and Lancaster counties.

One common concern is that the new area code will mean is will now take a toll call to

call areas that were local.

Junior Steve McGowan said, "I just see it as another way for them to get money out of the state. It is just going to make our phone bills more expensive."

This may, at first, sound correct, but it is · not. Bell of Pennsylvania will not be charging extra for calls made between area codes 610 and 215_.

Jane Boyle, a first-year student, said, "They changed our area code in Maryland about a year ago. It really stinks, because I keep forgeting all about the new area code when I am dialing."

The phone company has forseen this problem. Until January 7, 1995, if a caller dials 215, instead of 610, the call will connect.

Even though Bell of Pennsylvania has tried to soften the blow of changing the area code, many people are still annoyed. Junior Margaret Prout said, "It's been 215 for as long as I could dial a phone. I don't want to be bothered with having to learn a new area code."

sures skeptics that President Clinton's health plan will be passed.

Helping to reassure skeptics of the strength of Bill Clinton's health plan is not necessary, in Hillary's mind. She said any doubts are baseless and. cited the number of constituents that show a passion for making the health plan work.

Mrs. Clinton feels that if the enlhusiasm to cure what ails is focused, it will benefit the health care plan. She is. referring to the health plan proposed by Clinton in a speech on Sept. 23, 1993.

0 Sunday, Jan. 30- More on the Harding

scandal.

Tonya Harding and her husband, Jeff Gillooley, have implicated each other in the attack on Nancy Karrigan. Gillooley was shown a 45-page report of Harding stating how her husband was involved in the attack.

After he viewed the report, Gillooley

planned to tell the whole story, including how his wife was involved in the scandal.

If Harding is accused, she still will have enough time to perform in the 1994 Winter Olympics. Whether or not she performs relies solely on the thoughts and feelings of the Olympic committee. □Monday,

January 31- Drug use is rising among high school students.

Researchers reported on Monday that there has been a rise in the use of different drugs by high school students. Researchers at the University of Michigan reported less of a rise in the use of LSD and prescription stimulants. The drinking habits of young children were found to be at the same level, revealing little change from previous years.

About 50,000 upper class students surveyed around the country do not seem worried about the risk of using drugs.

The students also were less likely to criticize their peers for using drugs.

Sailer'schangesname to SodexhoUSA

by Kfllly McDonald co-news editor Seiler's/PDI no longer exists, In effect. as of November 1, Seiler's changed lbejr name to Sodexho USA. According to the Cabrini food service newsletter, November 1993, Seiler's/FDI changed their name for many reasons.

Seiler's/FDI has servi,ced Cabrini for 13 years.

Sodexho USA is a di-vision of Sodexho Worldwide, one of the largest management services firms, with 49,000 employees and $1.65 biHion in revenue.

According to the newsletter, the Seiler's/FDI name did not communicate the full breath of services the

company provided because it bas grown and changed a great deal in recent years, thanks to clients such as Cabrini.

The company has expanded their focus from just food service to a broad spectrum of management services.

Donna Beck, account operations manager at Cabrini, stressed in the newsletter that the management, staff, and operations will remain the same.

"Our,uniforms may have a different logo on them," Beck said, " but the way we service our customers remains the same ..

Sodexho USA will issue their next Cabrini food service newsletter in February. 1994.

Instead, let's talk about Michael Jordan, ex-basketballplayer,wannabe baseballplayer,avidgolfer,gambler, etc. Or should I say, Johnny Kilroy, Nike's new advertising star.

I think the reason Jordan retired from the NBA bas just surfaced.

He grew sick and tiredof the media spotlight beating down on him, said be had nothing left to prove and walked away to a peaceful retirement.

Until be decide to try out for the Chicago White Sox. Which deserves even less &pacehere than the Buffalo Bills. I am starting to see an interesting coincidence here.

Then, Sunday, I found out about Johnny Kilroy. For those of you who missed the commercial, Jordan returns to the NBA as Johhny Kilroy and proceeds to dominate.

Michael also joined another retired legend, Larry Bird, for a re-match of tbeirMcDonald'ssbootout. Wbatkind of shot is this at the NBA? The only active player in the commercial, Charles Barkley, is not allowed to join in the competition.

I don't know about you, but I really did not want to see a retiree taking up air-time that a player could have used to start his own legend.

Shawn Kemp, the leader of the Seattle SuperSonics, could have used 30 seconds to showcase his incredible talent to the viewing millions.

Instead, we get Michael.

Is it fair that a man can blame the media for bis retirement, then tum around and use that very same media to make a fortune?

Nobody else is allowed to have their cake and eat it, too. Why should Michael be able to?

Please, Michael, don't tease us with these commercials and pipe dreams.

Make up your mind.

Come back to basketball, or leave us with the memories of your legend.

Either way. you'll always be second to Wilt!

I knew this would all tie together.

Cavalierssneak pastAlvernia,77- 7 4

by Margaret Malo assistant managing and perspectives editor

Cabrini's men's basketball team faced one of its toughest opponents, Alvernia College, this past Saturday. Both teams came to the game undefeated in the PAC, but only one could leave with the same credential.

The Cavaliers originally were scheduled. to play Wilmington, but cancellations, due to snow and ice, forced some changes in the schedule.

Despite confusion over the opponent and the starting time of the game, Cabrini proved, once again, they are a team to be taken seriously.

The Cavaliers defeated Alvernia 7774. This win puts the Cavaliers in first place in the PAC. According to Coach John Dzik, the game was a close one from start to finish. The Cavaliers led Alvernia at the half 37-35. Then Alvernia came back in the second half and led the Cavaliers by as many as 7 points.

With only three minutes left on the clock, the Cavaliers battled back and were victorious.

Leading the Cavs in scoring was senior Dan Barracliff, with 22 points.

Sophomore Billy Carr was next in scoring, with 15 points, while first-year student John Drummond brought in 13 points.

The Cavaliers are currently 11-3 overall in regular season play and 5-0 in the PAC. They are also ranked sixth in the Mid-Atlantic division of the NCAA. The Cavaliers hope to win the rest of their games, in order to be considered for an NCAA tournament bid.

There are 10 more regular season games, three of which are home games.

This Friday, the Cavaliers take on the rivals from across the road, Eastern College. The game will be played at Eastern, and anyone interested in attending the game should contact the ath-

letic office. A ticket is required to attend the game and must be purchased in advance for $1. These tickets will be available until 5 p.m. in the athletic office.

Last year's game at Eastern was overcrowded, and it was declared a fire hazard, forcing eastern to close the doors to many fans. This is Eastern's way of trying to avoid that situation this year.

On Tuesday night, the Cavaliers took on Neumann College in a PAC matchup.

Cabrini and Neumann both play an uptempo game, so a high score was anticipated.

The game surpassed everyone's expectations. By halftime, Cabrini held a 52-36 lead.

Then, the second half began.

Cabrini's press forced many Neumann turnovers, turning the second half into a Cavalier lay-up drill. It became apparent that the 100-point barrier would come crashing down. It did, with about seven minutes remaining in the game.

Sophomore Mike Dever kept hitting three-pointers, and senior Dave Kerchner dominated the lane on defense.

By the time that the final horn had blown, the Cavs had doubled Neumann up. The final score was Cabrini 130, Neumann 65.

In the second half, the Cavs outscored Neumann 78-29, one of the most onesided halves of basketball in Cavalier history.

It seemed as if everybody on the team was either hitting three-pointers or slamming one home.

The win improved Cabrini's PAC record to 6-0, while Neumann dropped to 1-5.

As Cabrini sets its sights on another PAC title, they must go through Alvernia. The team plays there next Monday night at 7 p.m.

A victory in that game should insure that Cabrini will finish with the number one ranking in the PAC for the regular season.

Senior Jamie Shaak adds to the Cava/ier's 130-65 victory against Neumann.

This victory moved the Cavs record to 6-0. in the PAC.

Club battlesthroughinjuriesand more

by Brian Siatkowskl assistant sports editor It is only club ball.

Don't try telling that to a dozen men, running, jumping and diving, in the Sacred Heart gymnasium at 12:45 a.m. on a weeknight.

They have no trainers.

But these fellows may be the real heroes of college athletics. They don't have their shoes bought for them, but they invest time and money into their sport.

They will never appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, but night after night, they are in the gym, awaiting a sweet glimpse at glory.

They are playing because they love the sport, the competition and the thrill of victory.

Cabrini's men's volleyball team practices whenever they can get in the gym. They pay for their own referees, their own league dues and their own equipment. With the help of the student government association (SGA) and their own fund-raising, the men's volleyball team works for respect.

The men's volleyball team competes in the Western division of the AMIV athletic league. The team began prac-

tice in October and will, if their record allows, compete in a post-season tournament in April.

Captain/Coach, junior John Feketics, was one of the two setters for the team, until he broke his fibula this winter. He will be out for the entire season.

Some of the other injuries n the team include Mark Mellor's strained achilles tendon, and Alex Szep's ankle injury.

On the surface, this seems to be a devastating loss for the entire team, yet the men seem to have kept things in a positive perspective. Feketics said, "The guys will be successful, if they keep their game on a high level."

John Fasolka, a 5 '9" senior out of Allentown, Pa., said, "We usually have two setters, but we may set a different rotation, where only I set.

"We are up against a lot of adversity with John (Feketics) being out," Fasolka continued. "We have to keep a good attitude. Now John can focus full-time on coaching and see all things that we don't see on the court."

The season usually consists of about 20 games, most of which are against teams in Cabrini's division.

The AMIV Western division consists of Cabrini, Eastern, Lafayette, Lehigh, Muhlenberg, PSU-Berks, West Chester

and the men's rival, Kutztown.

The first scrimmage of the season will be against a hosting Swarthmore team on February 9.

Senior Brian Wolk will play an important role in the success of this year's team. Wolk, a 6'7" threat at the net, must step up and be a major contributor as a blocker and a hitter.

So must 6'5" junior Mark Springer, who is a newcomer to the team this season. The squad will be counting on Wolk and Springer to be forces at the net.

With the offense undergoing severe restructural changes because of the injury suffered by Feketics, returning players will have to offer "no excuses," according to Wolk.

Wolk said, "There must be some balance between class load and practice."

The key is unity.

Junior Bob Macartney, a returning 5'6" Philly boy, will have to keep the passing consistent and "dig" out the ones that will win games, along with Mark Mellor. Mellor, a returning 5'11" senior, is also a Philadelphia native who needs to fill in the back line.

"Macartney is the emotional spark plug, while keeping his head on his shoulders." Wolk said, "On the quieter

side, Fasolka is the quiet giant, never tiring, always geting the job done."

Jerry Schaefer, a 5'9" senior from Ardsley, Pa., will also need to keep the passing game efficient.

First-year student Rob Marish plans on "losing some sleep, yet having a lot of fun, while, at the same time, improving my ~olleyball."

Marish is a newcomer to the team, along with fellow first-year student Mike Shirk.

Another first-year student, Dan Lorenz, who joined the team recently, hopefully can fill the setter spot for the missing Feketics.

The team is together. Before practice starts, they are laughing and commenting on each other's spectacular wardrobe. However, when it comes down to it, the seriousness of the team shows the men do not think they are playing "club ball."

"We're playing good together," Mellor said, with a smile, "really good together."

With the season less than a week away, the volleyball team will need that comaraderie to overcome all of the hardships that have befallen them.
