by Caroline Croley managing editor

For first-yea.r 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.

- _ScottDorsey, 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 th.rough 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 and faculty, students will deal with the ups and downs that occur in and out of the classroom.

Robert D' Anjolell, first vice pr-esident of the board of trustees, said, "Learn all you can to formulate a future."

After the presentation of college awards and recognition of seniors, it was time for Dr. Robert A. Bonfiglio, vice.president for student development, to present the Anniversary Box to Amy Gallagher, senior cJass president.

"Between now and May, the senior class will collect some small keepsakes that will forever mark your place in Cabrini history as the class of 1995," said Boeke.

Gallagher said that this is a "year that promises new and exciting changes at Cabrini College."

At this time, Bonfiglio commendedtheseniorclassfortheir outstanding attendance, and the first-year students on their community service projects. _ _ The class of 1998 marks a beginning to a new requirement for first-year students.

During the presentation, Bonfiglio encouraged students

to come in the Student Develop~ent Office and add special mementos to the box throughout the year.

"These mementos will be kept in safe keeping until the year 2007. when Cabrini celt:brates its 50th birthday," "At the end of the year, the diary will be placed in the college archives so the future students will see the true portrayal of student life."

After the presentation of awards and the presentation of entering students, Dr. Thomas Boeke, provost, addressed the seniors.

"The next few months will fly as you approach the closure of your intellectual life on campus, and in no time, you will come to another place on this campus where the president will present you-with your diploma at graduation," Boeke said.

At Cabrini, students have the opportunity to stand twice and be recognized.

"First upon your entry of the academic community, as we are doing today, and at the completion of your studies as you prepare to leave here," Boeke said.

"I hope this year won't be too long or too bumpy," Bonfiglio said.

"I hope it is special."

Changes mark the start of new year Well th'.isis 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 beginning. 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 experienee 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 c'ount on going into a classroom and knowing everyone. We cannot have the same stµdypartners or work with the same people on class presenqitions. 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 Wood Company, Cabrini's new food service program, has been widely accepted. Not only is the presentation of the food nicer, but the quality is better. It is more edible than Seiler's. Some problems_ do exist though. The food is_fine, but the cafeteria lines stretch back to the cm ..pu.cr tab. This has been the problem recently, due to the commuters lacking a place to eat. The food court is there, but the food is not. However, it should be completed after Lab(?r Day. The new student orientation, under the direction of Heidi Levine and Karen Szczurek, ran smoothly. The students seemed to orient themselves quickly, to not only the campus, but also to each other.

The comedy troupe created a crowded house Sunday night. First~ year students moved in, but still found the time to enjoy a few laughs at the Red Cloud Coffee House. ·

Cheers go out to the school's e:xtemal and internal tune-up! From !the smaller details, such as the banister in the Widener center, the 1larger changes such as flowers and landscaping. These upgrades ,have been a definite improvement.

Taking the cha.lleng'eand riding the rollercoastercalled_ life Kelly McDonald, editor in chief

The fear started wllen I was a small child riding in the back of my family's big brown station wagon. Up and down h.ills, the faster we~went, the worse it ' got._ I was ridiculed by my cousins when I cried, as I anticipated the next gigantic hill 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 ag.e of 13, I had forgotten aboufthose 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!

My fear was reawakened as the tears poured down my face and the continuous piercing screams escapeo from my lips as I clutched the bar across my lap, praying it would be over soon.

My aunt clung tightly to my arm in fear that I would try to get out while the ride was still moving. Other passengers glared at her with disgust, as though she was an unfit parent forcing me to go on the ride.

Later we laughed about the incident, but I certainly learned a lesson.

As a teenager, I would watch. my friends go OD roller coasters from the safety of the ground. Eventually, I just got set in my ways. I was afraid, and this would not change. It was easier just to accept my fear rather than try to overcome it. _ A few years older, and maybe a little wiser, I came up against a challenge.

I convinced myself that the blue SuperDooperLooper roller coaster, in front of me, was not as big as it looked, even if it did have an upside-down loop.

At least I could say that I tried it.

It also helped that my family convinced me that it was not neady as bad as the wooden roller coaster they had dragged me on a few minutes earlier.

I began to shake and get extremely nerv1ms as we reached the top of the first drop, not to mention that I clung to my boyfriend for dear life as I screamed, "I want to get off!" Before I knew it, the -ride was over and I had survived the loop and everything.

I felt proud as I walked over to my family who eagerly waited to hear my reaction.

I was presented with a challenge, accepted it and overcame it.

This of course was not the first challenge I overcame, but it was definitely a significant one.

This experience made me realize that by accepting a challenge, I also accepted change. These two words seem to be. come more synonymous as I get older.

Do well in school only to graduate and go to college. We are then challenged to.

Think about it, ·we 'are challenged to

gratluate 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 ri1ake overcoming these challenges worth while._ A sense of accomplishment , strength and learning are just a few of the feefings th.at come with climbing any moun- · tain 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 ·1ast year, and I will also continue with a new job and new re~ponsibilities.

Challenges are always presenting themselves t-e,n:Ml-ftndin 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.

OP-ED

Experience makes the difference

Melissa Johnson, senior

Whoever said that a good GPA ensures a senior a job upon graduation? This is only half of the battle. The other half is experience, first-hand experience, for a minimum of one year.

This became known to me, my junior year, as I btowsed through the classified ads out of curiosity, in the Daily Local News and The Philadelphia Inquirer. As a result, I beg11ncreating _aresume and sent it out to few local pharmaceutical com·panies, in hopes to obtain an apprentice~ ship.

As a biology major, an internship for one semester is a requirement for graduation, so my ~dvisor recommended several people/companies to send resumes to.

After receiving letter after letter of "thank you··for your interest in our company, but at the time we are not hiring any interns," I became very discouraged. Later I was told about the great opportunities the co-op office had to offer, by a friend, so I decided to check it out. I bFought a copy

a

of my resume and ·filled out some forms, then made an appointment with Nancy Hutc.Jiinson, the director.

She reviewed my resume and said it looked great, then we got out the list of job openings that were available within the biology field. There must have been 10 to 15 listings. She faxed my resume to the positions that interested me, then we waited.

Sure enough, a few weeks later, I was scheduled for an interview at a pharmaceutical company in the Great Valley Cooperate Center. Two days later, I was hired and have been there since.· It has been about four months since I started with this company. I am in the pharmacology department at the company, arid I am injecting animals with various drugs the chemistry department fabricates. Due to a significant amount of confidentiality in this mdustry, that is all I can state.

Through th.is job, I have been gaining experience within my field, working in the "real world," and dealing with people.

It is not easy all of the time, because everyone is not like your best friends that_ you journeyed through school with.

I recommend taking advantage of an opportunity to 'work for a company while in school to gain some experience. It will never hurt, but will assist in the long run when graduation is around the corner. It has the potential to bring about a full-time job offer.

Definitely visit the co-op office if you do not know where to start, but are looking for a job opportunity. Like my manager has told me, and still does to this day, no type of experience will go against you.

In the long run, if there are three applicants searching for one job, and only one of the three has experience in the field, most likely, this person will be hired.

Co-op and Service.s are "TOGETHER."

Campus voice restrained To the Editor: Picture it. Peter Jennings sits at his desk calmly and wannly 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, ad~ise 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, discussio_nand the

very foundation of modem media stories, comic routines and lunch-time discussions free 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_ the paper. 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 has 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 a:rf'attrist>ryboard 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.

Sincerely.

Cabrini-~tudentshares irJsightaboutJamaicanculture

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 Jamaic11,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 Negril.

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 for nude 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 Negril 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 toshop 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 tl\at two American boys had given her a counterfeit fifty do11arbill.

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.

"Driving the vans was· also helpful because it gave them a chance to interact with the students. I would like to invite the faculty, especially freshman advisers, to come to the sites next year."

John Lindsay, a sophomore orientation counselor, also volunteered. The O.C.s are required to go to the sites and help thefust-year students.

"Cabrini is about getting involved, and for me, getting involved is something that interests me," Lindsay said.

According to Levine, the program is mandatory "because it is part of the education at Cabrini. The program fits right into the volunteering experience of SEM 300," Levine said.

The O.C.s and Levine were not sure what the first-year students reception was. Some students did say, on their preference forms, that volunteering would help them in their majors, especially education. Others said that

they were indeed interested in volunteering.

Stephanie Petrellais, a first year student, said, "I went to the child day care center. It was good. We listened to kids and it was really worthwhile. I would definitely do it again."

According to Levine, the turnout was wonderful. About 75 percent of the first-year students, approximately 145people, participated.

"Most of them bad a good time and worked really hard," Levine said ''They did physical work and enjoyea--being with each other.I'm thrilled and really excited about it. It was worth the effort, and it will be easier in the fufurenow that I know how to do it."

In addition, it was successful because the students got to know the faculty in a more relaxed setting. As for Levine's own role, she said, "I think it can reduce the stigma of my role. It makes it easier for some people to see me as a nice person, not just the director of counseling."

Last week in 'the world of sports · week, it appea.rs increasingly likely that a second profes_sional 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 o-ut 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 th~ season e.ven if they allow training camps to open, believing that it would give the players too much leverage.

Men's soccerreturns'readyto win

by Celene Wright sports editor

The 1994 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) Champions have come back foT a new season and they brought with them some reinforcements.

The men's soccer team is detemrined to defend their spotasPAC champs and maybe take their ·win a little further.

My Jong term goal would be to go to the NCAA tournament and my short term goal • is to win the PAC once again," Mike Tims, senior and team captain, said.

The reinforcements mentioned would describe the eight new recruits that have joined the team. These new members will assist in fulfilling the goals the team has set this year. · The recruits consist of first-year students, Jason Weidner, Chris Schmidt, Paul Hollinger. An.tb.onyCancelliere, Anthony Noel, Darren Meder and Larry Teal and sophomore Bill Maher. · According to sophomore, John Volpe, first-year students and recruits, Darren Meder and Hollinger are very aggressive players.

Senior and team captain, Steve McGowan sajd, Hollinger, Darren Meder, and Teal came in with confidence, an eagerness to play, and they were not at all . intimidated. He felt they fitinto theirwhole system of play.

Anthony Noel is one of the best goalies in the Philadelphia area, said Tims._ Six of the eight recruits got a chance to show their talents and work with the veteran players this summer. The team partici-

pated in the Lower Merion Soccer League and they did very well, placing first in the league.

Though the team lost mthe playoffs, placing first wasquite an accomplishment, considering their competition. -The other team in the league was made up of dub teams that composed of some graduate players.

Volpe.said, the summer league gives the team a chance to get out and practice and meet new players, so they can see what talents they possess and if we play well together.

Though the team has lost some experienced ·players, tltey have gotten a lot of new talent in exchange.

Dan Meder, a junior, said, "We lost a few \ . p1ayers,but we gamed a ton of good players."

"Jason Giles was an aggressive player, a really good defender. We are hoping Hollinger can fill his ~hoes. Not his exact shoes, because Bollinger's feet are bigger," Meder added.

McGowan said, "Duncan did an excellent job of recruiting freshmen to fill those positions. If not, we have a few sophomores and juniors whoare stepping up and could possibly take those positions."

No matter who fills those positions, there is. a balance of abiljty throughout the team. The players on the bench are ju,st as strong as their teammates on the field.

There is a lot more balance and depth o the team, meaning our second string players are as strong as our first string players, said Meder.

It looks good for the men's soccer team, elpecially if they keep tbinking like first-year student, Hollinger. ·photo by Oawniefte K1ow Hollinger said," I plan to play my best in every game and do my best to win:" Jeff Winters, a sophomore, struts his stuff on the soccer field. The men's soccer team is determined to go far in their wins this year. They plan to win the PAC along with playing in the NCAA tournament.

Lady Cavs kickoff new season

by Jane S. Van lngen ;graphic & design editor

While the men's soccer team won the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) championships last year and in ·1991, many may have wondered why there was not a women's so_ccer 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 ask~d to piay 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 s_occer team played various colleges in the area and will continue to compett:_ 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, tliey could not be taken.out because there were not enough people. T_here were also a lot of injuries. But, that will aJI 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, playersareeligible,towinspecialawards an.d honors. With this in mind, GardnerPierangeli recruited a lot of good new players. to Wunsch, Gardner- , According

Pierangeli did all the follow up work for recruiting people and d~d an outstanding job. Wunsch was the captain of the team last year as well as the goalie.

Wunsch helped recruit p'eople 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 recruits 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," µardner-Pierangeli said.

The addition of new players will bring the program up a lot," Gardner.

Pierangeli 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 Tecruited seven people. In addition, there are eigpt 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 bas more depth."

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

Accor.ding 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.
