For first-year students, it was a new beginning. For the seniors, it was a beginning to an end.

As the fanfare played softly in the background, seniors and first-year students processed into the Grace Hall Atrium.

Convocation was about to begin.

Scott Dorsey, coordinator of the multi-cultural programs, st@od behind the podium asking God for guidance in our individual growth and to do our best in everything we attempt in our daily lives.

These words seemed to carry through the room and become the day's theme.

Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, college president, elaborated on this theme in her formal opening of the academic year.

Iadarola began with the book, "Places You Will Go," by Dr. Seuss. In this book, Dr. Seuss says, "Find the success that lies within you."

"During their years at Cabrini, students will be well prepared in that great balancing act called life and learn to live life with dignity," Iadarola

said. With the help of the staff to come in the Student Develand faculty, students will deal opment Office and add special with the ups and downs that mementos to the box throughoccur in and out of the class- out the year.

Friday, Sept. 2 , 1994

Changes mark the startof ne~ year Takingthe challenge·and riding . .

Well this is it. The grind begins once again for the new school year.

For many it's the last year to be free, and frolic to class in sweats and Tshirts. The reality of the "real world" is just around the comer. For others, this is the peginning. Not only are there new students on board this year, but the faculty has gone through many changes as well.

Whether you are a student or a faculty member, there are a lot of challenges ahead. For some, it may be unfamiliar computer programs, for others it may be the phone system in the resident halls.

Although change can be challenging, it can also be a learning experience and that is why most of us are here. Some of the new things that many of us will bump into will be the new classes, new faculty, washers and dryers, a new food service, and of course each other.

The biggest change is simply to accept, be able to work with, and maybe even live with one another. We cannot count on going into a classroom and knowing everyone. We cannot have the same study partners or work with the same people on class presen~tions. Those days are over.

Now it is back to the good ole' drawing board. A blank slate to chalk-up and begin anew. Of course, it is not that bad. It might be hard to get adjusted to at first, but this is the exciting part of it all. Just imagine after we graduate and face the training period of a new job. Imagine eating lunch among strangers and feeling completely lost. Well, we are all in the same boat. We all have to go fishing in the same sea eventually. What change may bring to you now, will make-adjusting to future changes so much easier.

The fear started wben I was a small child riding in the back of my family's big brown station wagon. Up and down hills, the faster we ·went, the worse it got.

I was ridiculed by my cousins when I cried, as I anticipated the next gigantic bill because I knew that while everyone in the car was going down,.my stomach was going up.

Luckily, a few years later when I was five, I moved into the city, leaving fewer hills for me to incur.

By the age of 13, I had forgotten abounhose terrible experiences and ventured on to my aunts favorite ride in Disney World, the Mine Train.

After all, I thought if she liked it, how bad could it be, right? Wrong!

A few years older, and maybe a little wiser, I came up against a challenge.

gra'duate only to find a job and then a better job, and then to raise a family, etc. With every new school and job, things change and present yet another challenge and more change.

Although it seems like a vicious, never-ending cycle, there are so many personal rewards that make overcoming these challenges worth while.

A sense of accomplishment, strength and learning are just a few of the feelings that come with climbing any mountain and letting nothing stand in your way.

This realization and awakening hit me at a perfect time in my life, as I enter a new and exciting school year.

I will be starting a new term as a Loquitur editor, holding a different position than· last year, and I will also continue with a new job and new re~ponsibilities.

Challenges are always presenting themselves t-e me-and in some cases I even go looking for them.

In any case, I am constantly riding the roller coaster called life, where the ups and downs are much bumpier and the ride lasts much longer than at the amusement park. Yet, somehow it doesn't seem as scary.

I guess life is one big challenge that needs to be accomplished one little step at a time.

LOOUll!TUIR_ Campus voice restrained To the Editor: Picture it. Peter Jennings sits at his desk calmly and warmly delivering the day's news to the citizens of this free and democratic nation. He reports on two or three issues and is about to deliver,another story when suddenly a whispered "Uh, Peter, could I talk to you for a minute" silences ABC's leading reporter. A man in a butterfly-collar shirt and plaid pants leans into the screen, speaks softly into Jennings' ear and ducks back into the unseen world of television production.

Jennings faces the audience and says, "Um, sorry. That last story wasn't such a good idea. Never mind. In other news tonight..."

It could never happen, right? Not in this country. Who would want to silence the news? Who would stand before the First Amendment, raise a fatal pen and stab the Constitution in the heart?

Apparently Cabrini College would.

It seems some members of the administration feel the Loquitur staff is not receiving the proper guidance it needs to judge what stories are fit to run in the school newspaper.

In addition, previous editorial boards have not received the proper punishment for what administrators considered "mistakes."

In its wisdom, the administration has decided to create an advisory board comprised of students, faculty and staff who will guide the Loquitur, advise them, help them to forge a dignified, proper little college newspaper that is even appropriate for prospective students and their parents to read.

This board will be there to give the staff that push in the right direction, that reassuring hug or pat on the back.

They don't need it!!

Loquitur is an educational tool for aspiring young writers, reporters and editors. It is also a forum for debate, discussion and the

very foundation of modem media stories, comic routines and lunch-timediscussionsfree speech!

The p(oposed advisory board is a clear statement that the administration does not believe in the current faculty advisers, the staff of Loquitur, or the common sense of both. They clearly do not feel the Loquitur knows what they are doing.

The problem lies in the fact that after many years of Loquitur publications, the administration still does not understand how the system wprks. The advisers' behavior is a demonstration of trust, not nonchalant laziness. The advisers do not create story assignments. They do not mandate coverage, content, the style of a story or the sources used. All of these are processes studied and practiced by the editors and writers through Loquitur.

And the faculty advisers NEVER censor thepaper. NoonehasevercensoredLoquitur.

Will the advisory board practice censorship?

Administrators must stop viewing Loquitur as the mouthpiece for the suppressed concerns of the advisers, editors or anyone who has an"in" with the publication.

Th_estaff of Loquitur seeks and has always sought the truth. If, at times, that truth was unpleasant, it mirrored much deeper concerns than petty revenge.

It would not surprise us to find that this very letter h~s been cut off by the so-called advisory board. It would, instead, be an affirmation of our fear. If Loquitur is placed under the regime of an '!id-visoryboard empowered by the college administration, this school will lose an invaluable educational tool, its students will lose their voice, and this country may lose the next Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite or Peter Jennings.

Need we say more? If this happens, we may not be able to say more.

Personality creates oppOrtunities

by Sheila Brady features editor

The generous bowl of candy on Nancy Hutchinson's desk says much about what kind of person she is. Yes, other people may display a dish of hard candy, that could be two years old, in an old plastic bowl. Not Hutchinson.

She keeps hers in a crystal dish. Inside are kisse·s, Hershey's kisses.

Mmm ... who could resist?

Hutchinson, director of cooperative education and career services, is on a first name basis with each person who walks into her office. Her large attentive eyes and calm disposition show all visitors that they come first.

They come before the telephone that never stops ringing and before the fax machine's deliveries.

Therefore, it would be almost impossible for a visitor to realize that this summer Hutchinson may well have been the busiest employee on campus.

Hutchinson grew up in New York City, the Bronx to be exact. She was educated in Centenary College, New Jersey.

She received her Bachelor's degree in English literature and secondary education.

After working for Bergdoff Goodman on 5th Avenue in New York City for seven months, Hutchinson worked at the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.

She worked with prisoners who were asking for bail. She worked in prisons, police administration and social service agencies. This is where she attained her counseling experience and patience.

After seven years of seeing the same prisoners repeatedly come through the system, Hutchinson decided to begin a job where she would help those who sincerely want to help themselves.

On top of guiding between 40 and 70 students to suitable cooperative educational jobs, Hutchinson speaks with each employer, giving recommendations to each one, she put in the major effort into combining the offices of cooperative education and career services.

Career services has joined cooperative education this summer .. The change has caused much extra work for Hutchinson. She has spent a large part of her summer screening resumes, and interviewing to find a new assistant, since she is now on her own.

Nancy Hutchinson, director of cooperative education and career services, contacts a prospective employer, with a phone call at the start of a semester fices into one was also a challenge. Each employee had to be educated, which accor_ding to Hutchinson, will be an ongoing process.

Hutchinson needed to learn the ropes of a whole new department, on top of her already hectic routine.

"Co-op is a tremendously time-consuming department," Hutchinson said.

"One-on-one interaction is vital."

'Interaction between she and the student is vital to keep their interest aroused. Hutchinson's interaction with employers is equally important. Interactions include constant phoning, letters and follow-up.

On-site visits are normally done by Hutchinson to physically see how things are going, and if everyone is· satisfied.

Meanwhile, she is constantly developing new co-op employment opportunities for the upcoming semester.

Opportunities are a large part of Hutchinson's job. She makes opportunities available for any student who shows an interest by simply walking into her office.

Senior Margit Karlson worked at Wyeth Ayerst as a Human Resources clerk as her co-op this summer.

When you go into the co-op office, she really wants to help you," Karlson said.

"I love working with students,.,

Hutchinson said. "We are very fortunate because we get very resourceful students."

Accordi11g to Hutchinson, these students know the value of cooperative education and realize how it will advance their profession'lri"tareers.

Almost always, she said, the employers are very pleased with their coop students' performances during their semester's work with the company.

There have been many employer's, according to Hutchinson, who have offered the students full-time positions upon their graduation.

She has received unsolicited letters of recommendation to place in_ the student's file, and many employers continue to return to the cooperative education employment, year after year.

Hutchinson believes that everything in this job _is positive. She gets to help young people become more and more productive in their communities. · What is rewarding, according to Hutchinson, is the. fact that most employers give evaluations describing students as good wholesome people.

What she said she would like to see more of. after her five years of experience, would be an increase of interest of first-year students and sophomores in the cooperative education opportunities on campus.

Co-op broadenshorizons

by Sheila Brady features editor

Senior Heather McAllister is one person whose life will definitely be affected by the work of Nancy Hutchinson, director of cooperative education and career services. This was McAllister's second summer of co-op experience.

McAllister worked at North American Publishing in center city Philadelphia. She worked as an editorial assistant for this company that distributes approximately I 5 different magazines on the publishing and printing industry.

Replacing a woman who was out on maternity leave, McAllister was responsible for a real job. It was not a typical internship, with an intern's responsibilities.

Cabrini~tudentshares insightaboutJamaicanculture

by Dawnielle Klopp photography editor

Casandra, a shop owner in Negri/, sits during the off-season patiently awaiting customers. Her shop consists of various Jamaican souvenirs.

It is the birth place of the legendary Bob Marley, home of reggae, Red Stripe and locally grown ganja. It is Jamaica, where everything is, "No problem, man."

I had finally saved up enough cash to get out of the States and experience another culture, a culture that constantly wears a smile. I flew into Montego Bay and boarded the magic bus to Negri!.

First there was one Rastafarian, then another, and then a whole town ofRasta mans.

I wanted to say hello, but the bus moved on.

The first stop, after a minor delay at a local watering hole, was Hedonism, where the beach is divided in two, one side fornude and one for the prude.

Unfortunately, my cash flow did not permit me to stay and shed my traveling clothes,so I moved on to my final destina-. tion: the Negri! Beach Club.

My room at the club was not fantastic, but ten steps outside there was sand between my toes. The sand was white and the water appeared to be painted with shades of blue and green. Unbelievable, I was in Jamaica.

As some people find the beauty of Jamaica in its picturesque sunset, I found the beauty of it in the friendliness of its people.

One day I went shopping at a local craft fair. The shops were poorly constructed and looked like shacks. It had begun to rain, but Jamaicans do not consider rain as a bad thing, they call it "Liquid Sunshine." I ran from shop to shop in the hope of staying a little dry.

I looked around the shops, said hello to the

proprietors and moved on.

The final shop I ran into was owned by a lady named Casandra. I had browsed for a while and picked out a few souvenirs, and decided to visit with her. I paid for my items with American dollars and travelers cheques.

Casandra was hesitant to accept my ten dollar bill. When I asked her why, she told me th,at two American boys had given her a counterfeit fifty dollar bill.

I assured her that mine was real. She showed me the bill that they gave her and my heart began to bleed. It was obvious the bill was fake. It was printed with different ink on differently textured paper. I made her feel my ten dollar bill and the fake fifty. We compared the texture and ink, so that she could see the difference.

I could not believe that I come from the same country as the two boys that did that to such a sweet lady. I apologized for them, but I knew it could not replace her embarrassment at the bank when she tried to deposit her day's earnings.

Despite the poverty in which the Jamaicans live, they are a very relaxed and easygoing people. No nasty words were exchanged among them, and I felt very safe on their island. ·They took care of me.

Jamaica is a place to free your mind, body and soul. It is a pl~here people are not• · afraid to live. It is a place where you take photographs with your eyes , but to be on the safe side, bring a camera.

Visiting Jamaica was exactly like living a Bob Marley song. "Don't worry about a thing, every little thing, it gonna be alright," and it was.

As a new employee at Cabrini, WYBF benefits from Sabot's ability to look objectively at the department. "In the past, there seemed to be no training program," Sabot said. "Now, everyone will have a structured training, both hands-on-and-in the classroom. At the end, new members will take a hands-on and written test. Both tests need to be passed to be part of the station."

Another new change this fall is that Cabrini is offering credit for radio involvement. Verna, a senior, became a production director as a second semester freshman. "The credit option is a great idea,", Verna said. "For years we have been trying to get it. We would be in the studio for five hours a day, busting our butts, without really getting anything for it." Verna acknowledges that the jocks may be more serious about their shifts and become iri.volved in other areas of the radio with the one credit option.

The option will become mandatory in the spring," Verna said. Communications 392, a three credit course, is offered to the executive staff this year. "We will learn how to run a specific department and how a staff operates," Bieg said. "There will be actual training."

Of course, there will be papers to write and assignments to complete," Verna said, "but before, jobs were not assigned."

Bieg anticipates more live coverage from the place of the event. She desires more promotions. Verna wants faculty involved in broadcasting. Both welcome newcomers and hope this year brings new faces.

WYBF executive staff breaks from summer meeting.

People do not have to be on-air to be involved," Bieg said. "There are other ways of being a part of the radio. They can work on a program, do a small spot on news, or produce and plan talk or sports shows."

Sabot views the exeo\Ui,,oeboard as a strength of the station. "They are fantastic workers," Sabot said. "I have their support, and they are the key to implementing changes."

WYBF's executive staff anticipate the start of the year. "We should be up an running by the third week in September," Verna said.

First-yearstudentsvolunteer for a day

by Jane S. Van lngen graphics & design editor

Community service has always been emphasiz.ed at Cabrini. Now, for the first time, the first-year students are required to take part in a one-day volunteering experience as part of their orientation activities.

During summer orientation, the firstyear students were informed about the volunteering experience and given preference forms. This gave the students an opportunity to choose where they would like to volunteer. On Monday, Aug. 29, the students found where they would volunteer. The next day, joined by Orientation Counselors (O.C.s), they went to the sites and experienced what volunteering is all about. Although it is only a one-day

experience, students are given the opportunity to continue their services. , The whole idea of volUIJteering started two years ago when Jennifer Marks Gold, international students coordinator,.reactabout a similar program that Beaver College had been doing for five years. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president for student development, thought it was a good - idea considering the college's commitment to community service. When Heidi Levine, director of counseling services, took over the position of orientation director, she was asked to take responsibility for this idea.

The United Way of Pennsylvania helped in putting this project into motion. They arranged many of the sites that the students went to. The places included Divine Providence Village, House of His Creation, Chore Connections, and the Children's Educational Center. Students also volunteered to do work on campus.

Two of the biggest groups painte~, did yard work and cleaned at various places, including Chore Connection, an agency that allows seniors to live in their own homes.

Karen Szczurek, a junior, was the orientation coordinator. After Levine made the initial contacts at various locations, Szczurek and Levine worked together. They visited every site they had. Szczurek did a lot of the followup work such as making phone calls and talking to people at orientation. Szczurek also arranged the van and lunch schedule for the students·.

Szczurek and Levine solicited the help of campus ministry and student activities. Along with Marianne DeFruscio, director of student activities, both Scott Dorsey, director of multicultural events, _andReverand Ambrose Cashman, campus chaplain, drove vans.

Friday 2, 1994

Last week in the world of sports

by Richard Jasper copy editor OBaseball Remember when baseball used to be fun?

With the great strike of 1994 now entering its third week with no immediate end in sight, it has become increasingly difficult for fans of America's favorite pastime to find an exciting, funto-watch baseball game - unlesi, they happened to catch the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., on Saturday, Aug. 27.

After more than a three hour rain delay, the Little League all-stars from Maracaibo, Venezuela, battled it out against the Northridge, Calif. team to win the 48th edition of the series, 4-3.

It was the first time a Venezuelan team had won the championship in eight tries and the first title for a Latin American team since Mexico won in 1958.

ONHL It's beginning to look a lot like baseball.

With some NHL team training camps scheduled to open in less than a

week, it appea.rs increasingly likely that a second professional sports league will be shut down soon.

Determined to get a contract settlement with the players before the season begins, NHL club owners have threatened to lock the players out of training ;camp. At the heart of the dispute is the owners' desire to set up a system where players' salaries are linked to club revenues. Many players call that a salary cap, and are against it.

As of Sunday, Aug. 28, there had been no deadlines set for a lockout.

But the owners are unlikely to open the season even if they allow training camps to open, believing that it would give the players too much leverage.

ONFL In their last pre season game of 1994, Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham was knocked out of the Aug. 26 game with a bruised right elbow, and the Eagles' offei;ise sputtered for the fourth straight preseason game.

Friday night's 20-12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons gave the Eagles their worst pre-season record since 1987.

Cunningham was injured when At-

lanta cornerback Alton Montgomery came screaming in from the right side on a blitz and buried him in the Georgia Dome carpet.

Halftime X-rays on Cunningham's throwing elbow were negative, and there was little swelling.

However, he was expected to miss several days of practice while in treatment.

Eagles trainer Otho Davis said Cunningham -should be ready for the season operter against the New York Giants at the Meadowlands on Sunday, Sept. 4.

OSkating Having finally won Olympic gold and busy with endorsements and a new career as a television commentator, Dan Jansen announced his retirement from speed skating on Wednesday, Aug. 24.

Jansen, 29, won a gold medal in the 1,000 meters at Lillehammer, Norway, in February, setting a new world record for that event.

Meanwhile, Olympic figure skating champion Oksana Baiul announced on . Friday, Aug. 26, that she will leave Ukraine next month to train permanently at a new rink in Hartford, Conn.

The worst part is, the owners and the players know this. So, in the game of leveragethatbothsideslovetoplay,thefans have none. Weare forcedto watch from the sidelines as the two sides battle it out.

So, this time,theplayersdo not have our support.

But, neither do the owners.

Becauseof the aforementioneddisdain for management that most people have, the owners will never have a majority of the populousbehind them in case of a strike.

Now, because they complain that over half the teams in the majors are losing money, they call for the institutionof a salarycap.

While the men's soccer team won the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) championships last year and in i 991, many may have wondered why there was not a women's soccer team. Well, wonder no more, because the women's soccer club is now a varsity sport.

Last year the club was started at the last minute.

According to Sis Slater, a sophomore, she and other first-year stu. dents were asked to play the second week of school instead of being asked over the summer. There was an interest in soccer, so it became a club under the Student Government Association. According to Jen Wunsch, a senior, they were organized, but there were barely enough people to fill the team. ' The women's soccer team played v'arious colleges in the area and wilJ continue to compet~ against them in the fall. Some of these colleges are Goucher, Frostburg, Widener, Beaver and Eastern.

According to Wunsch, the team did not do very well last year because it was their first.

Dianne Gardner-Pierangeli, the coach of the women's soccer team, said, "If someone got tired in a game, they could not be taken. out because there were not enough people. There were also a lot of injuries. But, that will all change this year because of new players." ·

Gardner-Pierangeli went to various high schools last year to recruit people for the women's soccer club. As a team, they will play more games and are eligible to go to the playoffs. In addition, players are eligible to win special awards and honors. With this in mind, GardnerPierangeli recruited a lot of good new players.

According to Wunsch, Gardner-

Pierangeli did alJ the folJow up work for recruiting people and dtd an outstanding job. Wunsch was the captain of the team last year as well as the goalie.

Wunsch helped recruit people by going to high schools and telling students about the emerging women's soccer team.

Michele McGowan, first-year student, is a recruit.from New Jersey.

Other first-y~ar .-ecruits include

Becky Ward, Marie Kaoski, Caran Senteli and Karan Leavy.

According to Gardner-Pierangeli, the first-year students have played a long time and have a lot of experience. "Last year, a lot o( players were not only inexperienced, they had never played before," Qardner-Pierangeli said.

The addition of new players will bring the program up a lot," GardnerPierangeli said. "We have a stronger team based on the talent of the first-year students."

This year is a good recruiting year, according to Gardner-Pierangeli, because she recruited seven people. In addition, there are eight players return- · ing.

The first-year students are younger and have been playing longer," GardnerPierangeli said. "There is more of a focus on wanting to do well. There is more skill and the team has more depth."

"The returning players wilJ be good this yeari because they will realize that the freshmen are good," said GardnerPierangeli, "They will have to work harder since there is afore competition."

According to Wunsch, last year the players had a foundation and a building. block to work on. They started out small, and built thems.elves up.

Accor~ing to Gardner-Pierangeli, because of: the new players and the improvements they will bring, the women's soccer team has a good shot at the PAC championships.

The women's soccer team did not practice or compete over the summer.

They began practicing last Sunday, and will begin playing Sept.IO.
