Professor'seffortsaves family The compelling story of how one person made a difference

by Sheila Brady

originally from Armenia, and the family went to settle there. However, they were rejected, because Eldar is from Azerbaijan. They were unable to live in Azerbaijan, because of the contempt Armenians had to face there.

The Babakishiyeva family were forced to live in extreme danger. They were beaten and jailed, and their possessions were taken and burnt.

Throughout this tragic time, Babakishiyeva managed to keep up contact with Sicoli through her letters. ·'I began to think 'What if that were Tom, Kathy and me?"' Sicoli said. "I was determined to do every single thing possible to get them here."

Some people will fight to the bitter end for what they believe in. They see something broken and travel great lengths to fix it.

Through good times and bad times. with or without support from friends and family, these people bend over backwards to help those in need.

Dr. M.L. Corbin Sicoli, professor of psychology, is one of these few people. She has demonstrated a real-life example of a stage of morality she teaches to her developmental psychology students. This stage, as she teaches in her class, includes the respect for the equal rights of all people and the dignity of every individual in the world.

On Jan. 8, Sicoli greeted the Babakishi yeva family at the Philadelphia International Airport. They are refugees from the former Soviet Republic Azerbaijan. As a direct result ofSicoli 's determination and hard work, the family of three escaped the horrors of their native land.

The Preparation A few years ago, Sicoli found an article in The New York Times. It was by "Peace Links," a group made up of women against nuclear war. They advertised a new idea: Pen Pals for Peace. The group, headed by Betty Bumpers, the wife of a senator, Dale Bumpers, was certain that if there were so many American women against nuclear proliferation, there must be women in the U.S.S.R. who felt the same way.

As a result of reading the Times article, Sicoli was intrigued. One by one, women

One day, Sicoli explained the situation to her neighbor, Sarah Black. She asked Black to ask about aid for refugees, at her Presbyterian church.

Week-long program stresses importance of health issues

by Caroline Croley assistant news editor

In today's society, people are sometimes so overpowered by hectic schedules that they forget about the most important things in their lives: themselves and their health.

Cabrini arrived at time of year again when the importance of health awareness became the focus of attention. February 21-25 was health and wellness week, created to encourage students, faculty, staff, administration and others to become aware of issues affecting their everyday lives.

Some of the week's highlights included a health fair, held on Tuesday, Feb. 21, in the Widener Center gathering area. The campus commu-

nity was able to pick up information on health and fitness and ask questions, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cafeteria participated in wellness day, by offering health food all day.

At the health fair, students, faculty, staff and the administration were free to explore and learn tips about being healthy and better fit. Also, information on important topics, such as alcoholism and addictions, cancer and ways of preventing health problems in tpe future, were available.

Maria Wanenchak, an alcoholism and addiction counselor, said, "Alcohol is a drug of choice for many college students. There are a lot of problems, like underage drinking violations, driving under the influence, unwanted pregnancy, unsafe sex,

sexual assault and fighting that may result in excessive drinking.

Wanenchak said she participated in the fair to provide information to students, to make them aware of these problems and to offer ways of dealing with them."

Tina Longo, a junior, said, "I thought the day went very well. It was down to earth, the people were very easy to talk to, and I learned ways to help myself physically and how to help others."

According to Fitzgerald, in the past, the school's wellness day celebration was planned and carried out through counseling services. This year, the week's events were sponsored by health services.

Officially, this week is called na-

tional collegiate health and wellness week. Nationally, the week will be celebrated while Cabrini is off for spring break. Because of vacation, Fitzgerald said she decided to move everything up a week.

Health

Fitzgerald also said the week took the the place of national collegiate drug awareness week.

According to Fitzgerald, "It changed the focus of awareness and has forced us to become aware of our health and well-being in general."

Tips

Reaping the rewards of community service There are many different ways one can follow the Cabrini mission.

This mission involves an unselfish concern for the well-being of others.

The mission also states the welfare of society depends on individual students. The college hopes to instill a strong sense of responsibility ·for themselves and the community at large.

Many students are participating in project Appalachia during spring break. This year's group nearly doubles that of last year. In fact, so many people were interested some had to be turned away.

There are other campus ministry programs, such as outreach to the homeless and prison literacy. Students who participate in outreach to the homeless provide food for the homeless and participate in a soup kitchen. Students also teach inmates how to read in the prison literacy program.

The seminar 300 program requires students to participate in community service. Dr. M.L. Corbin Sicoli, professor of psychology, teaches a SEM 300 class called "Heroic Lives: A Study in Altruism," which is an appropriate title indeed. Sicoli recently rescued a family from Azerbaijan, and her heroism is a model for us to follow the Cabrini mission.

By participating in community service, we can become well-rounded people, while paving the way toward a good resume. But, more importantly, the joy of helping those in need can be the most rewarding feeling of all.

IUps and Downs Congratulations to the Cavs, who are ranked nationally for men's Division III basketball. Also, the Lady Cavs have won 14 straight games. Good luck to both teams in the playoffs!

It is true that the season of giving does not just happen during Christmas. An abundance of students have proven this, by signing up for project Appalachia. Approximately 45 students will be participating in this year's project.

It is great that the dorms will b~ open for the PAC championships, but no one will be here to support the team. Why were the playoffs scheduled during spring break? Fans are a key to winning, but who will stay on campus when the caf is closed?

It was practically guaranteed there would be a MAC machine, but Mr. MAC still is nowhere to be found. Both commuters and residents are upset with this loss. Mr. MAC, you are missed.

It's always betterto forgivethan forget Bob Macartney, sports editor

I come from a very close family. My mother raised my sister and myself for the last 14 years. My father passed away when I was six. There have been many times in the past 14 years that I have wanted to talk to my father, and that possibility is reduced to prayer.

My family has held together because we are so tight. My grandmother and my uncles, along with my mother, helped us get over the hard times. Despite all this trouble, we remained a tight group.

In fact, we have grown tighter.

The past few years, and the next few, as well, will be a time of transition for my family. I have already left for college, and next year, my sister will be leaving, too. For the first time in 20 years, my mother will be at home by herself.

Once again, a time when a family can either fall apart or grow closer. There is no doubt in my mind that the latter will happen. That is just the way my family works.

Over these past three years, I have begun to realize how special my family really is. I can honestly say I have not met one person whose family structure betters mine.

To be honest, I have met a lot of people whose family structure is exactly the opposite of mine. This has taken me by surprise. I guess you never realize how bad things can be, until you experience them. I have experienced some things through others that have absolutely shocked me.

I feel that I can identify with people who have been through their parents' divorce. I feel that I can identify with almost all kinds of family hardship.

But what I see scares me. I see people who fight constantly with their parents.

I see people who refuse to talk to one of their parents. Basically, what I see are idiots.

Some people will argue that it is impossible to get along with their parents.

They have tried, but just don't succeed.

Here is my answer: try harder.

Why? Because a day will come when you can no longer talk to them. Trust me. To me, it has already happened.

That is why I cannot understand people who have given up on their families.

I can no longer talk to my father. I have no chance to grow closer to him.

My dad won't be at my graduation. He will not be present at my wedding. He will not be there to see the birth of his grandson. When I win the Pulitzer Prize for journalists, he won't be there then, either.

But I know this, and I am able to deal with it. In fact, he will be present in my heart, and that is all that I need.

I am not writing this for sympathy. I am writing this to help. There are others

whose parents will not be in attendance at the most important functions in their lives. The difference is their parents could be there. But they won't be, because of some stupid disagreement that was never taken care of.

Don't be stupid. Talk to your families while you still can. You only have one mother, one father. There is no reason in the world why you shouldn't get along with them.

There are people out there who would give anything to be able to talk to certain members of their families one more time. If you still have the chance, don't let it pass. Forgive and forget. It definitely is worth it. Families are much better when they are together.

I know there have been times when I have taken for granted what I have with my family. I realize how extremely blessed I am to have so many people who care about me.

Don't let something that happened in the past affect the way you live today. Give your family members a chance. They are worth it.

Trust me!

!Letters Campus minister takes reposnsibility for incorrect content

PR is everyone'sbusiness Karen Berlant, director of public relations

A few weeks ago, I came to work in a particularly jovial mood, despite the fact my right arm was cast up to my shoulder. Roads had been salted, and the crew at Y-100 was up to some fun antics that morning, which probably accounted for my attitude, not to mention that we had all just come off a long, long weekend of cabin fever.

At 8:10, the first phone call of the day came into the public relations office. The caller remarked that I sounded "chipper."

Phones continued to ring and, while fitlding them, I kept a fraction of my attention glued to the visual chaos that was erupting on my Macintosh screen.

By 9:30-, I had taken no fewer than 10 telephone interruptions. It was that tenth caller who asked if everything was OK. I had only answered with, "Good morning, Karen Berlant." Obviously, annoyance was beginning to creep into my answering voice.

Fortunately, this particular colleague understood my explanation of deadlines and forgave my briskness. Meanwhile, I was

jolted back to an awareness of the many ways I-and we all-re.fleet an image of Cabrini College among our many audiences, internal and external.

As an institution, we spend a great deal of money, time and energy in our attempts to create positive impressions of the college among many "publics." Our ads, commercials, brochures, correspondence and news articles are all designed to make people think well of Cabrini.

We invite individuals into our sphere to experience some of those elements that we believe make us unique: our beautiful campus, our friendly people, our academic and cultural talents, our conviction in Cabrini as a good place to live/work/study, all attributes we subtly "sell" in our projects in the mass media.

How we deal with those individuals who respond to our overtures is the second phase of our overall identity program. Do we ask them to call and greet them with a cold machine? Do we ask them to visit, only to give them the "bum's rush" as we hurry on to other business? Or do we smile at strangers and offer assistance when none has been requested but is clearly indicated?

Perhaps our most valued ambassadors are our students and alumni, as they represent Cabrini~n their careers and co-ops, on the air with WYBF, as student teachers and athletes and in their community service enterprises.

Is their demeanor professional, their appear-

ance appropriate to the task at hand and their public persona such that it brings pride to the college?

First in a series An on-going report on mental health issues that affect college students.

by Steve May co-news editor

Eating disorders are the number one killers of women with mental disorders. But, in '.someways, they still are the most misunderstood problems, with many Americans uninformed about the symptoms and causes.

Most people think women can just stop anytime they want, stop the purging and starvation. While most vict~s who seek help are women, these disorders are not gender-specific.

But the problem concerns more than just will power. Like alcoholism, eating disorders, once they set in, are very hard to stop.

Help is hard to give and hard for the victim to ask for.

But, it must be stressed th<!tthese disorders do not have to be life-threatening, and there is hope. The first step is understanding.

What are 'eating disofders?'

According to Dr. Heidi Levine, director of counseling services, the three forms of eating disorders are obesity, anorexia and bulimia.

Ideal body "':eight is a medical term used to describe what physicians believe to be "average." The ideal body weight is proportional to sex, height and age.

Levine and Fitzgerald said the estimates for body weight are rough, and they are just ranges for ideal weight. But both said that someone 20 percent below their ideal body weight could be considered anoretic, and 20 percent above would be considered obese.

Obesity is often overlooked as an eating disorder, Levine said. But Susan Fitzgerald, college nurse, said morbid obesity (when someone is over 20 percent above their average body weight) causes,many problems.

This disorder. is marked by a high (over 20 percent ideal) body weight and often reflects overeating.

Anorexia is the most common eating disorder. Levine said some of the disorder's symptoms are absence of appetite and extremely low (below 20 percent ideal) weight.

Bulimia, Fitzgerald said, is often harder to detect, because the victim maintains a relatively average weight. The bulimic does so by "purging" after she has eaten.

A typical bulimic "binge and purge" session is one in which the individual consumes massive quantities of calories and then purges them.

Usually, according to Levine, she will "eat a box of crackers, a bag of chips, a box of cookies and maybe a half-gallon of ice cream. She will eat until she's in pain or until she falls asleep. Then, she will purge."

Levine said a bulimic purges by vomiting after she eats, using a laxative or by excessively exercising. "To an extreme," Levine said, "Like, everyday running 10 miles, then working out or doing some other form of exercise."

W))at are the complications?

Levine said the problems of eating disorders do not just concern weight. Most victims of these disorders come from chaotic homes. Many, Levine said, were in alcoholic families or were victims of some form of abuse. Their home environments were ones in which they had no control or did not know how to deal with their emotions.

"They have no good coping mechanisms for when things go wrong," Levine said.

This leads to them obsessing about having total control over their lives. Levine said the

Eating disorders Fact and Fiction easiest thing for them to control is their weight.

These problems of control primarily concern anoretics. Anoretics have serious body image problems, Levine said. They perceive themselves as fat, even when they weigh 20 percencbelow ideal weight. They look in the mirror and see a person who is overweight.

Bulimics have different problems. They have many of the same family problems as anoretics, but bulimia develops for different reasons.

Levine said bulimics cram down food, in an effort to cram down feelings. They often feel numb when they binge and purge, as if what they are doing is not happening to themselves.

"When something emotionally difficult happens," Levine said, "food is a way to manage."

Levine said obsession with food comes from society's use of food, for other than nutritional value. For example, when a child does something good, he or she gets a cookie.

When the child does something bad, he or she goes to bed without dinner.

According to Levine, many individuals perceive this usage of food and believe they can control that part of their lives. Therefore, food and weight become their ways of dealing with their problem.

She also said most victims who seek help are females. Males have these disorders but disguise them better. This is because society thinks of these disorders as "women's problems," Levine said. But she said more and more people of both sexes are coming forward for help with eating disorders.

What do they do to the body?

Fitzgerald said there are many physical side-effects of eating disorders. All three disorders cause cardiovascular and gastrointestinal problems. There also are many cases of heart disease among these people.

Anoretics are skeletally thin and often suffer from internal bleeding, severe electro1yte imbalances and organ failures. They also have bowel and bladder problems and suffer hair and dental problems, from lack of vitamins.

Bulimics also suffer dental problems, especially from purging. They have gastrointestinal problems and many of the same problems as anoretics. Cancer and diabetes, and eventually death, are the worst physical effects.

But, Fitzgerald said, these symptoms are extreme and do not occur until after the individual has had the disorder for a great

Movie Review The SummerHouse

by Michelle Reiser guest writer

The incomparable Jeanne Moreau turns a very tranquil suburban London community on its ear in "The Summer House," a comedy about marriage, lust andsex. AcademyAward-nomineeJoan Plowright, from "Enchanted April," Julie Walters and on-screen newcomer Lena Headey_accompany the provocative Ms. Moreau ·in "The Summer House."

When you are about to make the biggest mistake of your life, marrying the wrong man, and no one will help, what are the options? This is where the amusing and charming story of a young woman's attempt to escape her imminent marriage to a most unappealing man begins.

So when dreamy young Margaret, played by Lena Headey, receives a marriage proposal from the older, self-infatuated Sy!, played by David Threlfall, she feels she must accept and begins preparing for the wedding. She agrees to the marriage to please her mother, played by Julie Walters, who thinks Sy! is quite a catch.

Into this low-key town walks the flamboyant Lily, played by Jeanne Moreau, who is half-Egyptian, half-British and all-woman. She takes up residence in Monica's house, along with her many pieces of matched luggage and atypically liberated (for the time) view of life and love. Once she sizes up the situation, Lily weaves her scheme to end this unfortunate match, in a manner particular to her world-wise personality.

This movie is extremely well done. It is a wonderful rendition of what happens when the wrong person comes into your life. The outcome can be electrifying as well as terrifying. Moreau' sfree-spirited lifestyleis a welcome edition to the screen.

You will enjoy this movie, with its otherwise "surprise" ending. This movie keeps you wondering what will happen.

Senior Mary Jane Inman will be entering the Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, N.J. after graduation.

Last in a series

Seniortakes road less traveled

by Christina Feehan assistant arts & entertainment editor

She sits on the couch in the Widener Center, and the brilliant shine of her smile and the Presbyterian cross around her neck catch the attention of passersby. Her outgoing personality and spurts oflaughter might not lead one to believe that on Sept. 11, senior Mary Jane Inman will be attending the Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, N .J. "The seminary is just like graduate school, except it is three years Jong and attendants study religion," Inman said.

"I will be living on campus in a co-ed, wet dorm. There is married housing off

5 campus, while the single students live in the dormitories. The campus is beautiful, and there are only 800 students in attendance."

Inman will be studying at the seminary for three years, in order to get her master's degree. During the first two years, students enroll in a course load of church history, Greek, Hebrew, pastoral care and marriage counseling.

Her senior year, as it is called, will consist of some academic courses, but mainly fieldwork in area churches.

If Inman chooses to become a fullfledged minister, she will still be able to get married and have children, while her role in the Presbyterian church will be as a "manager" of everything. Inman said.

"The church has a variety of extracurricular activities, such as youth group and community service organizations. I would be that person who makes sure everything gets done."

According to Dr. Margaret McGuinness, associate professor of religion and chairperson of the religion department, a person goes into the seminary because he/she has a calling. "It is as if God wants you to do it," McGuinness said.

Inman believes she has this calling.

"I don't know if this is exactly what I want to do, but I do know it feels right, and this is the time in my life to take this step. This degree gives a person such flexibility to go on and teach, do social work or become a hospital chaplain, that I am not tied down to any one profession."

Inman said she wants to enter the seminary because "I never feel as comfortable as when I'm in church. I like being in church, and I feel the need to attend. I do not think that church is for everyone, though. We all have the same God, we just have different interpretations.

"I feel that I have had a very fortunate life so far," Inman continued, "and I would like to be in a position in which I can do a lot for others. I want to dedicate my life to not only God, but to the church's congregation, also. Ultimately, I would like to do something with, and for, people."

Women becoming ministers is something that is growing in the Protestant religion, but it is not widely accepted, Inman said. "It has grown since then, though, and, in fact, my aunt and my minister have attended the Princeton Seminary.

"I have many fears about going into the seminary, after I graduate from Cabrini," Inman said. "It is like starting my life all over again. I don't know what to expect or what will be expected of me. I'm afraid I won't be smart enough, and I have a fellowship, so I have to keep a 3.3 GPA. There is a great deal of pressure and, ultimately, I am scared of failure."

Like most seniors, Inman is apprehensive about graduation. "The excitement of going on to the next step in life, along with the sadness of leaving this comfortable environment, have me both scared and excited," Inman said.

Inman is thinking of teaching for a few years after graduating from the seminary. She has a fear that she does not know enough about life just yet, to deal with everyone else's problems.

"I feel I have led a very sheltered life, and I am afraid that I won't know enough about these problems and their solutions," .Inman said.

Inman has a very large group of people supporting her, such as family and friends.

"My dad and mom are behind me 100 percent, which is very important to me.

My friends at first couldn't believe it, but now they just ask, 'will you marry me?' because I will be able to do that after I graduate."

"I feel Mary Jane will be a great success in the seminary," McGuinness said.

"She is certainly not doing this for the money but because of a ·calling from God." Although Inman has many apprehensions about going into the Seminary, she seems confident that, no matter what, she is doing what she wants. Often that is the only thing that is important.

"I do not feel that I am any more religious than anyone else, nor do I feel that I have a greater faith than anyone else," Inman said. "I am just doing what feels right in my life now."

People collectvaried artifactsand knick-knacks

by Rich Jasper assistant copy editor

Collecting is a world governed by uncommon rules that allow everyone to participate in the fascinating game at any chosen level.

For many, it is a passion that can become a way of life. The lure of the chase, the search for the "buried" treasure and the knowledge of almost everything about some out-of-the-ordinary subject is what makes a serious collector's adrenaline flow.

When bitten by "the bug," men and women of all ages have become collectors.

Their specialities range from pottery to record albums, postage stamps to Beatles' memorabilia.

Everything and anything can be collected, from 18th century kitchenware and furniture to license plates and road signs.

Many collectors thrive on the teasing certainty that fortunes can be made and that, just around the corner, they could find the one item that will make their collection unique and complete. With a little of the right knowledge, there is always the possibility of turning an attic treasure or garage sale antique into a

considerable nest egg.

The rarity of an item, however, does not always bring instant wealth.

Generally, one of the most important rules of collecting is supply and demand. The bigger the field, the greater the chance of a rare item being fully appreciated.

Regardless of fortune, the enjoyment that comes from collecting is the name of the game, and many at Cabrini have already begun to play.

Sophomore Valerie Mackner has been collecting penguin merchandise since her senior year in high school.

"The penguin was our school mascot, and that's why I started collecting," Mackner said. "Someday, I want to have a pet penguin, but I don't know if it is legal. The penguin can definitely fare well in this weather, but I'm not so sure about the summer."

Melissa Imperato, a first-year student, considers collecting to be one of her bad habits.

Her prize collection includes approximately 5,000 business cards from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

"Each business card is unique, and they can tell you a lot about the individual," Imperato said. "I think that this

collection stems from the fact that I have a genuine interest in people."

Senior Dann Trotter has been collecting theater play bills for five years. At present, he has close to 50 in his collection.

"I have play bills from Broadway shows all the way down to local high school and college productions," Trotter said. "They are from shows I've either been in or seen."

Rose Jamattona, a faculty secretary, has been collecting bells for 15 years and Hummels for 25 years.

"They were always given as a gift, often passed down to me from other family members," Jamattona said. "And, they are still in their same status as they were when they were given to me."

Christa Gervasi, a first-year student, owns approximately 20 "Precious Moments" figurines. She has been collecting for 10 years.

"My family started buying them for me for Christmas, my birthday, graduation and other special occasions," Gervasi said. "The figurines are expensive, though, so I don't get them that often."

There are those on campus, however, who realize there is some real money to

be made from their collections.

First-year student Rob Framo has been collecting baseball cards since he was six-years-old.

"My Barry Bonds' rookie card has to be the most valuable one in my collection," he said.

Phyllis Gordon, an employee in the WigWam, collects money, in order to make money "A little while ago, I made $25 from pennies that I have been saving in jars," Gordon said. "I still have a couple of jars to cash in, but I'll have to wait until the weather gets better before I can get to the bank to trade them in."

Whether a person collects for pleasure or for money, the sky is the limit for successful collectors. And who knows what may turn up at the next neighborhood flea market?

After all, one man's junk is another man's treasure!

Presidentfurthersplanswith Russia

by Diane Wrobleski assistant graphics and layout editor

Cabrini College is reaching out and touching a long-distance neighbor this fall. The neighbor is Russia, and a student exchange program currently is in progress.

This educational link expands to three institutions within Russia and the republic of Kyrkystan. They are Kyrgyz State . University in Bishkek and lsyk Kul in Karabol, both in Kyrkystan. The third program in Russia. 300 miles north of Moscow, is with the Nizhny Novgrod Institute ofForeign Languages in the town of Nizhny Novgorod.

So far this town has been the most successful in the transition to a free market system.

Before the change to this free market, about 90 percent of the territory of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic was off-limits to westerners.

The Russians once had controlled lives, until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Today, they no longer are restricted by the ministries in Moscow for grants, so they have established a direct link with the United States and other countries.

Universities across Russia have been given the authority to form partnerships with foreign institutions, to hold hardcurrency accounts and to send faculty and administrators abroad.

Dr. Antionette Iadarola, college president, became involved in the project last July. She was invited to attend an international conference with 150 other American college presidents and 200 rectors of the Ukraine, Russia and 10 other Baltic countries, in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Iadarola received two formal invitations to visit Russia duing the fall semester of1993.

more SAFETY from 1 excited."

Foster said her church would sponsor the Babakishiyeva family and help them in any way possible.

"I thought it would be a very concrete way to help a part of the world that needs a lot of help," Foster said.

Sicoli finally had the help she needed. Foster went out of her way to do everything she could to ensure theBabakishiyevafamilywould have a comfortable place to stay, if and when they fled to America.

One church member owns a home and rents it to the church at a reduced rate. Members of the congregation cleaned, carpeted and fully furnished the house, in the possibility that the Babakishiyevas would use it. ''The congregation has really taken an active role in the preparation of the home for the Babakishiyevas," Foster said.

Then, Sicoli began hitting more stubborn walls. She called immigration and government offices, to ask for assistance in helping her pen pal's family escape their terror.

Sicoli said they gave her answers which boiled down to "give it up, lady; they'll never get here."

According to Sicoli, there were rules that, in order to accept refugees into the United States, the family must have blood relatives in the country.

Sicoli said others gave her the attitude that she was not important or powerful enough to get the family into the country. Nevertheless, she did not give up.

"I began to think, 'Who could be more powerful than a U.S. senator?'" Sicoli said.

She then called Sen. Harris Wofford (D-

President Antoinette Iadarola finalizes plans for an exchange program with the Rector, Or. Sovetbek Toktomyshev, (left) and his financial assistant.

Iadarola said the reason for Cabrini's involvement was based on a desire to intemationalize Cabrini's curriculum with Russia's, since the 21st century is approaching and has created an interdependence among many countries of the world.

"We shouldn't limit ourselves, so why not begin with Russia, because it is a part of the world attracting a lot of attention," Iadarola said. "The newly independent states have been successful in seeking monies for further development, so this is a wonderful opportunity to try to get into it at the ground level."

Many U.S. college presidents have been asked to look into this program, because faculty staffs are looking into it. Many conferences have been held all over the world, from Washington to Russia, because of the interest.

The interest on each side of the Pacific Ocean involves not only many educational benefits, but other forms of individual growth as well.

Cabrini's interest lies in creating a form of higher education, but also to satisfy a challenge of internationalizing the college's cur-

She spoke to his secretary and requested that the senator simply read Sveta Babakishiyeva's Jetter. The secretary promised he would get the Jetter.

On Christmas Eve, 1992, Woffard's office called back. They had investigated the whole case and concluded that Sveta, Eldar and Angelica were indeed in fear for their lives. A hearing was set up for May 1993, in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.

Apparently, that would be the family's last obstacle to face before their recourse.

confiscated.

Sicoli's plan worked, and the Babakishiyeva's received the essential letter and made it to the U.S. Embassy hearing.

They were then instructed to acquire Russian residency. Therefore, their plans to come to the United States were postponed. The Babakishiyevas had to live in the country of Russia for six months. This was a technicality of their residency.

The ProblemsContinue Abruptly,Sicoli'slettersfromSvetastopped appearing. There were no letters from the family, nor communication of any kind.

Sicoli now was very worried, for if Sicoli was not receiving Babakishiyeva's letters, Babakishiyeva may not be receiving Sicoli's letters. If the family did not know about the Moscow bearing, they would miss it.

That would be the end of the line.

Sicolifeared that her letters to Babakishiyeva were being confiscated. Her fears were confirmed.

Fortunately, she remembered Babakishiyeva' s mention of an woman named Deb Kreegan, who had been corresponding with 11-year-old Angelica Babakishiyeva.

Sicoli sent a letter to Kreegan, asking that she include Sicoli's letter, about the hearing in Moscow,withherown to Angelica. Sicoli was listed as the Babakishiyeva's sponsor in America. However, Kreegan was not.

Hopefully, Kreegan' s letters would not be

The Arrival Sveta, Eldar and Angelica Babakishiyeva landed in New York, after their eight-hour flight. However, their flight to Philadelphia was postponed as a result of a major ice storm.

The family had to spend their first night in America in John F. Kennedy International Airport.

On Jan. 9, Sicoli, her daughter Kathy and Foster, the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,mettheBabakishiyevafamilyatPhiladelphia International Airport.

"It was a great meeting," Babakishiyeva said. "We couldn't even imagine that we'd have such greetings."

"It was very exciting, like a dream come true," Foster said, "after so many months of hearing about them and wondering if they actually wouldcome."

There was only one problem.

The Babakishiyevafamily rould not stay with Sicoli to get settled. The ice storm had struck Sicoli' s house. Her electricity failed, and her pipes and septic system froze.

Once again, help came from virtual strangers. ''The people who I thought would help me did not," Sicoli said. "It was strangers who helped me."

riculum.

Cabrini students who travel abroad will live and learn Russian culture and language, while Russian administrators will bring these aspects to Cabrini's classrooms.

Russia ·s goals are to welcome Cabrini faculty members to lecture on world religion, philosophy, U.S. history and U.S. government. They also are interested in studying mass communications, entrepreneurship and humanities and would like to receive old or used textbooks from the United States. The textbooks would help them establish a foundation on the basics of a free market and on how countries have been educated abroad.

Iadarola said there are many ways to internationalize the campus. One way is through the area studies of African American experiences, occurring this year, and possibly the Pacific study of next year.

Another way is by providing opportunities for international students to attend Cabrini and for faculty and staff members to travel abroad.

Iadarola toasted the Russians for their involvement during her last visit. She said. "To a new generation of students, my students at Cabrini and your students at the Kyrgyz State University in Bishkek, that they do not remember the cold war.

That they do not remember the icy feelings between our countries, but to a new generation that is free of this, and that together they will concentrate on building the earth."

According to Iadarola, "Dealing with these problems, together we share, because we are all human, whether we live in Russia, China, Japan or Europe. Because this is the planet that we will tum over to them,and it's up to them to resolve these issues, and they have to do it together."

"I think with such kind people, who took our problems so close to their hearts, the adjustment isn't so difficult," Babakishiyeva said. living in U.S.A. Angelica is adjusting nicely to her new school. Babakishiyeva said all the children have been very kind to her. Angelica's teacher told her mother she should be proud of her, because her English has improved so greatly.

Angelica is now doing the same work as the other children in her grade, according to Babakishiyeva.

Eldar is skilled in athletics and has a degree inphysicalcultureandsports. He islookingfor a job in that field, with the help of Foster and her congregation. He is taking a class at the YMCA for a life-saving certificate.

Sveta herself has a knack in linguistic skills.

She is a Russian translator. She hopes she will be able to use her English skills to land a job. So far, she loves her new life and is very thankful.

"Mary Lou (Sicoli) is very smart and very clever, and that is not even the main feature of her character." Babakishiyeva said. ''The main feature of her character is her kindheartedness and rare simplicity. She is a wonderful, beautiful person, and I cannot express my gratitude and my thankfulness. I am filled with emotion."

Sicoli says this experience shows the Holocaust rould happen again and probably is happening. Atrocities are being committed everyday, she said. ''When life looks like it is the most impossible, if you somehow still believe, things can come true with faith and determination," Sicoli said. "The imposmble will become possible."

Philadelphia is one of those cities that made an appeal for blood.

The Philadelphia Red Cross has seen a rise in donations since the appeal was, made.

However, the recent snowstorms have played against donors.

Cabrini is doing its partin helping the blood shortage by holding the annual blood drive, in the Widener Centergathering area, on Monday, April 11, from 12 to 5 p.m.··

The nation's blood supply is at a very low level. According to the American Red Cross, this particular blood shortage has been the worst since World War II. As a result, the American Red Cross advised hospitals in early January that they would be limiting blood distribution and would not be supporting elective, or unnecessary, surgery.

Ayana McPhatter, a sophomore, also saw the importance in donating blood.

"It could help someone, and you never know when you might need blood," she said.

Jen Peacock, a sophomore who donat-ed.last year. said she feels people should give blood if they are able to, because a lot of people need blood, and if it is not there, they may die.

In order to give blood, a donor must be at least 1'7years old and weigh 110 pounds.

The nurse then asks a few ques'tions and checks temperature, pulse, blood pressure and iron level.

Susan Snyder, communications man-

ager of the Red Cross, said she sees blood donors as very important people.

"It is really gratifying when people give blood," Snyder said. "Blood donors are superb and very dedicated."

Snyder encourages those who do not give blood just because they are nervous.

"For most people, giving blood is no problem," Snyder said. "It is not really painful, only taking up to 10 minutes, and you cannot get AIDS from giving blood, but you could save a life."

Snyder also said it is important that people set out to donate blood.

"Most people need blood in order to continue their lives," Snyder said. "Cancer patients, car accident victims, patients that need liver transplants and premature babies need blood transfusions in order to stay alive.

"Blood donors are very important people."

Michael Jordan, world-famous basketball player, has spent the last few months of his life trying to get in shape to play baseball for the Chicago White Sox this summer.

Jordan began hitting balls from a machine underneath the stands at Chicago ·s Comiskey Park. The next step, when it became known he was serious, was hitting from a live arm.

Then, last week, Jordan showed up at the White Sox spring training camp in Sarasota, Florida.

So, the question arises, will Michael Jordan be a member of the Chicago White Sox when the team heads north to start the season?

According to first-year student Reggie Moore, Jordan might be called up as a publicity stunt, but his playing will never amount to anything spectacular.

Sophomore Brian Mooney disagrees with the latter part of this statement.

Mooney said, "I think he will make it to the bigs. If he has any ability at all, he will be there as a P.R. move.

"He should be good in the field, and he might find his niche as a lateinning defensive replacement."

Bud Mellon, communications center superviser, feels Jordan will not make the majors.

Mellonsaid, "Hewillnotmakeit, because he cannot hit a major league curveball. That is what separates the men from the boys."

Senior Mary Ann Walker feels, if Jordan has the ability, he should go for it.

However, Walker added she hopes there is no bias just because he is Michael Jordan .

Sophomore Larry Foster feels Jordan will make it to the majors because of that reason.

Foster said, "He is such a wellknown person that he will make it. It will have nothing to do with his talent."

According to senior Brendan Noone, Jordan does not have a chance.

Noone said, "He is a 31-yearold, single-A prospect. I don't want to see him playing a sport again. It is a joke, a travesty and it reminds me of BiJl Veeck."

Veeck was the general manager of the St. Louis Browns who allowed midget Eddie Gaede! to bat in the major leagues.

Personally, I feel that if Michael Jordan is allowed to play for the Chicago White Sox, then the entire game of baseball has been tarnished.

Senior Joe Opiela said, "If he wants to be treated like everybody else, then he should go through the systew like everybody else.

"His chin will come closer to the ball than his bat will."

although in the 70s, there were only 12 teams in the NHL. Now there are 26 .

Schultz played for the minors for three years, until the Flyers claimed him. Schultz was infamous for his extreme roughness on the ice.

Schultz played for the Flyers from 197276. After the '76 season, Schultz was traded to the Los Angeles Kings .

However, Schultz's career in L.A. only lasted for one year. Then, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Schultz's string of brief tours of duty continued. He reamained in Pittsburgh for one,and-a-half years.

• Finally, Schultz was traded to the Buffalo Sabers.

As a member of the famed "Broad Street Bullies," the Flyers team that won two Stanley Cup championships, Schultz gained a reputation as one of the toughest players in hockey.

"I retired in 1980-81," Schultz said. "The Sabers didn't want me. Nobody wanted me."

Schultz talked about his transition from professional hocke·yplayer to a business person/youth coach.

"The transition was tough," he said. "Not as tough as some of the guys take it but... The toughest part is that you are 30-35, no education-well, even if you did have a college education, you have never had a job in your life. Maybe a summerone, but not a full-time job. , "The question is, 'What do you want to do with your life?'"

According to Schultz, hockey players usually end up jumping around, until they can find something. .

Schultz said, "We didn't make money, like they do today. Guys make more money in.one season than I did my entire career, and we won two championships."

Schultz instituted a summer power- skating program, which involves an elite group of men and women skaters, who can develop better techniques.

He coached Malvern Prep last year and organizes all the summer leagues at the Skatium. Schultz also coaches his son's league in New Jersey .

"I love the game of ice hockey, and when kids get involved, it is a very unique sport," Schultz said. "It is a pure skill sport. Skating is not a natural thing for the human body to do."

According to Schultz, "Other sports enable you to run, but skating is different.

When the kids get involved, they fall in love with it. First you learn to skate, then stick handling, then.hitting then passing.

"Ice hockey is not a school sport, so club teams are the norm. Parents spend a lot of time together, and it becomes a social thing for them. They get to travel a lot. Therefore, they spend more time with their kids."

The Philadelphia area attracted Schultz because of his connections. His Flyer buddies Rick MacLeish and Bob Kelly also live in the area.

"More and more guys are choosing to live in the cities they played in the longest," Schultz said.

Schultz gives speeches to local athletic associations about never giving up and on what it takes to succeed.

Schultz is known in that world as a bruiser and a bully.Butdon'ttryto tell that to the kids he works with. They would never believe it.

Public skating is available at the Skatium, on Darby Road, in Havertown. Hours are 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. from Mondays to Fridays, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays .

Open hockey is from 12:15 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Admission is $4.00, plus $1.50 for skate rental. Admission for children under sixyears-old_is $2.50.

Last week in the world of sports

by Brian Slatkowsk/ assistant sports editor

ONHL The Flyers won two of their three games last week and, in doing so, held on to fifth place in the Atlantic division.

The Penguins, who are sitting idle in third place of the Northeast division, traded Mary McSorley and Jim Paek, defens~men, to the Los Angeles Kings for Tomas Sandstrom, right wing, and Shawn McEachern, center. The Penguins hope to fill Mario Lemieux's void, left open due to Lemieux's back pains that have forced him to the sidelines for 38 games. However, over the weekend, Lemieux played twice and scored three goals and an assist.

Wayne Gretzky, Los Angeles Kings center, maintained his No. l ranking in the NHL, with 56 goals and 28 assists.

0 Baseball Two Toronto Blue Jay pitchers were arrested in Tampa Bay, Florida, Sunday night.

Dave Stewart and Todd Stottlemyre were out at a night club with two companions for Stewart's 34th birthday, when Stewart refu'sed to pay the cover charge and, then, would not wear the bracelet required for admission into the club.

Stewart started the scuffle and, when Stottlemyre was handcuffed, hit a police officer.

For the past two seasons, Chicago White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell has been a 20-game winner. McDowell did lose his arbitration bid for $6 million.

McDowell will make $5.3, the highest salary ever awarded in the 19-year-history of salary arbitration.

ONBA The 76ers are 15 1/2 gam·es back in the Central division. Last week, the 76ers dropped a close one in overtime to the Sacramento Kings. The Kings have only won 16 games all season, yet beat the Sixern by 94-92 Wednesday night.

The two teams only attracted 17,000 to the game. The Sixers looked no better when the Seattle Supersonics embarassed them with a 113-105 beating.

The Phoenix Suns brought back Charles Barkley and Danny Ainge last week, after both were out with injuries.

Barkley had missed 17 games after he tore his right quadriceps tendon.

The Knicks beat their rival, the Chicago Bulls, 86-68, leaving the Knicks in first place in the Eastern conference.

Atlanta stayed one game ahead of Chicago, thanks to the Bulls, in the Central division, while in the Western conference, Midwest division, Houston stayed tied with San Antonio. The Pacific division is topped by the Seattle Supersonics, who are hanging on to a threegame lead over the Suns.

ONCAA Thirteenth-ranked Temple rallied to beat a sixth-ranked Louisville team, in the Diet 7-Up Shootout. Nineteenthranked California defeated Cinncinati, ranked 23rd, 89-80.

Temple Coach John Chaney apologized to fans and players for his threatening outburst against Massachusetts coach John Calipari. Chaney returned to form and, after missing his first game ever as coach of the Temple Owls due to his suspension, hopes to improve even more on the Owls' 19-5 record.

0 Olympics Lillehammer, Norway was still under siege last week. Alaskan native, Tommy Moe, collected his second medal of the Olympics. Moe grabbed a silver and a gold in the men's downhill.

Johann Olau Koss was not impressed. Koss set his third olympic record and won his third gold medal of the Olympics, winning the 1,500 meter, 5,000 meter and 10,000 meter men's speed skating competition.

It wasn't "cool runnings" last week for the Jamaican bobsledding team.

Hudley Stokes and Wayne Thomas were disqualified from the two-man competition because Thomas put on too much weigh,t and their sled was 7.9 lbs. overweight. The two-man bobsledding competition was eventually won by Gustav Weder and Donat Acklin from Switzerland. Switzerland also snatched the silver medal in that competion.

The 120-meter ski jumping competition was won by Jens Weissflog of Germany and Russian, Sergei Tarnsov, won the men's 20k Biatholon.

Norway's Bjorn Dahlie took home 3 medals, two gold and one silver, for the cross-country skiing competition and the U.S. hockey team put their backs against a wall when they fell to a strong Sweden team,· 6-4.

As head coach John Dzik's best recruiting class ever prepares for its second PAC Championship Tournament in as many years, the Cavaliers will be searching for fans to cheer them on.

Due to a scheduling conflict, the PAC Championships will be held tbis weekend, when a majority of Cabrini students will be heading to warmer climates for spring break. The school is willing to keep the dorms open until Sunday for Cavalier fans, but most students have already made plans for the weekend. I, for one, would love to be in attendance as the Cavaliers head for their second PAC Championship, but I will be on my way to Florida at tip-off time Friday night.

Two victories this weekend, and Cabrini will finish the season at 23-3, a record very much deserving of an NCAA Tournament bid.

Two of the losses were suffered aginst Division I teams, Radford and Maryland-Eastern Shore.

Against Division III teams, that makes the team's record 21-1. They are ranked fifth in the Mid-Atlantic Region, and 22nd in the country.

And, if a board of "knowledgable" basketball men fail to grant a much-deserved bid to the Cavs, we will not have the pleasure of watching them play basketball again.

I ask you, how fair is this?

There is only one solution. First of all, the Cavs must win the PAC Championship this weekend. If they do that, I see no way that they can be left out of the tournament.

The first game of that tournament would occur during the week of spring break. The Cavs need to win that one, too. That would ensure at least one other basketball game with the entire student population back in session.

I can only speak for myself, but I know that I want to watch Dan Barracliff knock down some more three-pointers.

I have not seen enough of Brad Dever driving down the lane. Or John Drummond throwing down an alley-oop.

I still want to watch Billy Carr dive on the floor for a loose ball, and Eric Tidwell grab every rebound.

And I need to see "Ock" behind the bench at least one more time.

So, good luck, Cavs.

Wish I could be there.

Former Flyer Dave Schultz sits behind his desk at Twin Rinks.

by Regina Miller staff writer

The rink was packed. Skaters were tightly tying laces with the help of their moms and dads, while the older kids danced around the ice, awaiting their instructions. Pink faces poked out from under the over-sized wool hats. Even babies clasped their parent's styrofoam cups, filled with hot chocolate, trying to keep warm.

The families looked on with excitement and anticipation. Lessons began, even though some continued to try on their third pair of rental skates. Almost everyone was in position.

Upstairs, in a tiny office, overlooking the shiny ice filled with beginners, intermediate and advanced skaters, Dave Schultz, former Broad Street Bully and current manager of the Havertown Skatium, tidies up his desk.

His sparkling smile and championship ring, placed on his right index finger, light up his surroundings. He knows he will be out in the cooler air soon.

"Tonight, I am coaching atthe Twin Rinks in Pennsauken, N.J., and Saturday I will be coaching at the Coliseum in Voorhees," Schultz said, as he studied his extra-large schedule book, open on a stand at eye-level.

"Sunday I play at Hershey against the Holiday Stars. MacGyver and Alan Thicke will be there."

Ice sports continue to grow in popularity.

New double-indoor rinks have opened in New Jersey in the last three years, and anoth-

er is scheduled to open in September in West Goshen Township, Chester County.

"All of the surrounding ice rinks are booked solid, year round," Schultz said. "The Olympics always generates interest in public skating and ice hockey."

In addition to the Olympics, Schultz said NHL expansion also has contributed to the popularity of hockey.

"We had the Olympics two years backto-back, and at least 10 ice surfaces have gone up in two hours from here, and they are all booked," Schulty said. "It might be partially because of Miami and the Mighty Ducks in the NHL. It certainly is not because the Flyers are doing well."

Schultz's roots began in Waldheim, Canada, a small town of 300 people. Everyone played hockey or figure skated. Schultz's life was hockey.

His father played hockey bought him and his brother skates, even when they lived on a farm. They would skate in the snow.

When Schultz was 17, he was invited to a junior hockey camp. He played for the minors, until he was drafted at age 19. He was picked in the 5th round, although, in the '70s, there were only 12 teams in the NHL. Now there are 26.

Schultz played for the minors for three years, until the Flyersclairned him. Schultz was infamous for his extreme roughness on the ice.

He played for the Flyers from 1972-76, see more SCHULTZ pg. 10
