Natiori mourns loss of children in Oklahoma City bombing

by ChristinaFeehan news editor

Each day, the covers ofwellknown newspapers all around the world showcase the latest developments of one of the most tragic bombings in the United States.

News But this time, Analysis the bombing was different.

The bombers were American citizens.

This time, the nation could not blame people from another country for this massacre. Instead, we had to look to our own American neighbors.

Only a few minutes after 9 a.m. on April 19, when employees were punching in for work at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal

Building in Oklahoma City, a car bomb exploded at curb side with the force of battleship guns, according to The New York Times.

On April 20, 21 people were reported dead, 17 of which were children.

This has been called the worst act of terrorism in the nation's history, and it was the work of American hands.

The Alfred P. Murrah building housed offices for the Department of Defense, Housing and Urban Development, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and a day-care where employees brought their children while they were working.

According to U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, this crime was to be considered a capital

one and the government would seek the death penalty for those responsible.

The explosion, according to the New York Times, also killed and maimed people who were on the street, overturned and ignited cars, damaged six nearby buildings and blew out windows for blocks, setting scores of fires over the city of 440,000 in west-central Oklahoma.

According to the April 21 issue of The New York Times, two "white male" suspects have been identified by the FBI as the death toll rose to 53.

These suspects were only identified as John Doe at this time.

Over the weekend, as rescue workers found more bodies of children and adults, the death

toll rose to 92.

On Wednesday, April 26, one week after the blast, President Clinton requested a moment of silence throughout the nation at 9:02 a.m., CDT (10:02 a.m EST).

At this time, only Timothy J. Mcveigh has been charged with planting the Oklahoma City bomb.

Two other men, James D. Nichols and Terry Nichols, have been held as material witnesses.

It has become public knowledge that these brothers built "bottle bombs" and experimented with other explosives in 1992 and 1994 with McVeigh, according to The New York Times.

He also wrote that he is getting tired of making bombs. "It's no fun having to spend all your eve-

nings and weekends preparing dangerous mixtures, filing trigger mechanism out of scraps of metal or searching the Sierras for a place isolated enough to test a bomb ... " One may wonder why there was a bomb planted in Oklahoma City, a place some people may think is only for growing crops.

According to The New York Times, the bomb was probably planted in the Alfred P. Murrah building because its layout insured that a bomb could be placed so close to children, in the America's Kids day-care center on the second floor.

Federal buildings in other major cities either do not have day-care c.enters or place them in areas less accessible to a bomb.

Horrible. Devastating. Sickening. Alarming.

As Americans throughout the country began to hear the tragic news of the bomb that ripped through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, thoughts immediately turned toward foreign lands. After all, it could not be one of us.

Unfortunately, it was. The terror inflicted on the citizens of Oklahoma, and the entire United States, did not come from beyond our borders, but from our very own backyard. How could one of our own citizens have so much anger and hatred for fellow Americans?

We want answers now, but they will be slow in coming. For now, we are left with the simple knowledge that something this horrible did happen, and, try as we may, we can not change it or ever make adequate ammends for the destruction of lives. As the investigation into the bombing continues, we as a nation are filled with fear, a fear that this vicious act of terrorism could happen again. After all, if it could happen in middle America, it could happen anywhere. And if it could happen to tiny, innocent children, it could happen to any one of us.

Yet, out of the hatred and the anger, something new has come. It is something that one would not expect to find at the heart of such a terribly black deed. You could see it in the face of the ATF employee who carried his injured co-worker to safety. You could see it in the face of the firefighter who held a dying child in his arms, a photograph that captured the souls of people world-wide. It was a spirit of courage and compassion that filled the hearts ofall that rainy morning, a spiritthat ignored color, race and creed, and lashed ouf against the horror to try to dispel it and allow the light to return.

That spirit has been stirred in the hearts of the American people, whether they were actively rescuing children from the crumbling building, or if they were sitting in their livi:og rooms horrified at what the media told them. It is a spirit of defiance that has caused people to scream "No more, we will not take this!"

No terrorist anywhere can ever build a bomb to destroy that.

!Ups and Downs Residents in the houses were not informed that their telephones would be shut off, which caused a major inconvenience. In addition, on the same day, the water was supposed to be shut off from 9:30 a.m. to noon, but was not turned back on until 5 p.m.

CQ

The Bottle and Can Beverage of Strafford and Mr. Bottle Beverage of Berwyn were nice enough to donate nonalcoholic beer to the spring formal. Thi.swas a generous donation for an occasion where most people celebrate with alcohol.

It is understandable that smokers now have only a few places to smoke.

CQ

However, with the weather becoming nicer, many smokers are leaving their butts lying around Widener Center. Do we still need our moms to clean up after us?

O_p...i..-}n_io_n ____,I f letters Learningfrom Play review volunteering is criticized

3

I.___O

Anne Williams, continuing education·

Reqmtly, I have had the opportunity to become involved in a community involvement project through my Seminar 300 class. My assignment was to work at the Side

by Side Center in Norristown, Pa., for one hour a week with. 20 to 25 children ages 6 to -12. My duties included helping the children with their homework and participating in recreational activities. Most of these young children come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Their lives are surrounded by poverty, crime, drugs and broken families.

They are forced at a young age to deal with circumstances that most of the students at Cabrini can only imagine. Having to function in these hostile environments, survival becomes a priority. Sometimes, the children need extra love and nurturing to cope with distractions of their daily environment.

The Side by Side Center is a safe haven where these children can come after school for a couple of hours to escape their dysfunctional environment.

Last Thursday, on West Marshall Street in Norristown, there was a shooting in the alley during the day. It was a brazen act by the many drug dealers in the area that represents the lack ofconcern for the people in the community. The citizens of Norristown are concerned for the welfare of their children. Trying to understand why their children have to grow up under these circumstances everyday in a country where everyone is created equal is very frustrating.

America is supposed to be the land of opportunity for all.

But, is it just for the privileged?

Just because these children were not born into advantageous circumstances, does that mean they should be in constant danger?

Examples like the Side by Side Center are avenues where people can make a difference, no matter how small, in other people's lives.

Having the opportunity to volunteer at the Side by Side center and encountering these children have been fulfilling experiences. It has expanded my awareness of the need for each individual to take personal responsibility in the improvement of a community.

After I leave the center on Thursdays, I often wonder how these children are doing. The children are so adorable and very responsive to any attention given to them.

Seeing them happy is so fulfilling.

The time I have invested has been worth it for me. You leave the center with much more than you have been given. Volunteeringyour time can make a difference in someone's life and in yours. If you have any extra time, consider volunteering. It is worth it. We can all make a difference.

This letter is to comment on the awful review of "Flowers for Algernon" run in issue 23 of Loquitur. After the review revealed the core of the plot, the reviewers went into very sketchy descriptions of characters that made me question whether or not we were watching the same play.

I really challenge the reviewers to back themselves up when they make comments like "the theater-in-the-round setting drowned out the words of the songs" and "the music was an unnecessary aspect of the show." These ambiguous comments were really unfair.

This review showed no critical thinking, and was really more fitting for the "TV Guide" than Loquitur.

"Flowers for Algernon" was an extremely powerful show and everyone who worked on it gave 100 percent of their time and effort for about three months.

This show was especially difficult due to the fact that the director had to miss several rehearsals.

Everyone pulled together and the end result was excellent.

College theater deserves a college-level review; this review was more suited for a high school newspaper.

Neither Mr. Newman nor myself were notified of the night the show would be reviewed, nor were we aware of the reviewers.

We understand that not everyone who writes a review for Loquitur has theater experience, but there are certain things that can and cannot be run in a review. This really is a good example of when not to run a review. I'm sure Mr. Newman would be very happy to give anyone on Loquitur other examples of both good and bad reviews.

Again, it's a shame this review was run for "Flowers for Algernon." Overall, I felt it was vague and unsupported. I'm just really glad this review had no impact on the performances.

Sincerely, Steve May Assistant Director, Flowers for Algernon

In the "Ethnic dance" article, in issue 22, published March 31, 1995, I Way an Rai and his wife Gusti Ayu Srjnaith are professors, not students. We regret the error.

Studentunhappy with CoffeeChat I have a bone or two to pick regarding the "Coffee Chat" in the April 7 issue of Loquitur.

Bone #1- "How should women protect themselves against sexual harassment and sexual assault?"

First of all, women are not the only ones who have to deal with harassment and assault; there are men put in these situations as well. If you haven't noticed, Cabrini has been coed for quite some time now and I feel that, in order not to neglect the men, the question would be better stated if it said, "How should one protect themselves against sexual harassment and assault?" Secondly, why is this a woman's problem?

Women should not be blamed for the actions of their abusers. Although I do believe in street smarts for everyone, I am insulted by the suggestion that a woman's outfit or where she hangs out is the cause of an attackers lack of self-control in assaulting or raping her.

Bone #2- Rape and violence are very serious issues and I am disappointed and frightened by some of the responses made in the article.

Are they truly showing they are "liberally-educated students?"

Bone#3-Therewasthemention of domestic violence in the beginning of this article. I feel it should have been addressed orjust dropped completely. Domestic violence is a serious topic all on its own which does not have anything to do with clothing, where one hangs out or street smarts.

Sincerely, Julie Stellrecht Senior

Speaker praisesarticle I would like to thank you for the fine article that appeared in the April 4, 1995 issue of Loquitur which focused on my workshop presentation "Food, Exercise and Feeling Good" in the Xavier Hall Great Room on March 28. It was a pleasure to meet with so many interesting young women who are intrinsically motivated in learning ways to optimize their own wellbeing. Makingsmart food choices that decrease saturated fat intake, drinking eight, 8-oz. glasses of water a day, planning a realistic exercise schedule and dealing with stress effectively are all tools we can use to potentiate our wellbeing. Making a difference in behavior one day at a time can help make that goal a reality.

I would also like to thank everyone responsible for arranging the seminar. The presence of your Cabrini spirit was personally very uplifting.

Sincerely, Roberta T. Feehan, R.N., Ph.D.

Many people are concerned about the lack of role models in today's society. Some people do not have any role models in their own lives. However, other people have found role models in their personal lives.

"I'm a child of the '90s," Tim Wonsoo,ajunior, said. "I have no role models. "

"/ have different role models for different things," Dr. John Heiberger, professor of business administration, said. "There have been mentors and people in different activities who have been role models."

"It's that fireman who held that baby in his arms in Oklahoma, " Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, college president, said. "I've been very obsessed with Oklahoma and the courage people have had to go in and risk their lives. "

"I don't have any role models," NicoleBerg,ajunior,said."/ don't think there's really anyone to look up to. I think I can learn from different people, but if I had to pick one pers,on, I couldn't. "

"My role model is my mom, " Brenda Augustino, a junior, said.

"She's a very extraordinary person. She never seems to have a problem and she handles so much at one time. "

Job market more competitive as more studentsgo to college

by Angela Mattlonl The West and South wlll continue to be the fastest growing reglo~s of the coun,try.

staff writer

The statistics are out.

As more and more young people are choosing higher education, the job market is becoming more competitive. A recent study focusing on the years 1992 to 2005 shows the trends and the changes as they are happening around us.

Nancy Hutchison, the director of cooperative education and career services, said employment opportunities are directly connected to the population trend.

So, the jobs that are available are tied into the changes in the population structure.

The fastest growing fields are in health services, and this can be directly attributed to the growing numbers of elderly people in America, due to the technology that allows people to live longer lives.

This also affects people that are holding high position jobs.

More middle-aged ahd older people are holding onto their jobs longer and delaying retirement due to the ever changing social security structure.

The fastest-growing occupational groups are executive, administrative, managerial and professional specialty careers.

All of these positions require at least a bachelor's degree.

Job openings arise from both occupational replacement needs and occupational growth.

Women are entering the work force in ever-increasing numbers. The percentage increase of women in the work force between 1995 and 2005 will be greater than the percentage increase of the total labor force.

This is creating jobs in day care and education. Education, especially special education, is another of the. fastest growing fields, according to an article called "Tomorrow's Jobs," as interpreted by Hutchison.

"This is an example of the change in the industrial profile from goods producing to service producing jobs like

transportation, communication and utilities," Hutchison said.

Asians, African Americans, Hispanics, immigrants and other minorities through stricter government policies concerning equal opportunity employment, are another growing presence in the working world.

Another problem that the business world is adjusting to is the increasing cost for health care.

The answer that many businesses have chosen is to find ways to avoid providing health insurance, and the most prevalent practice of big business is to em-

ploy part-time workers in increasing numbers so as not to provide coverage.

The part-time worker is called upon to fill a very specific position and to do the job quickly and effectively, without becoming a permanent part of the payroll, according to Hutchison.

These workers are provided for businesses by temp-services.

These services seek out jobs for temporary employment and are responsible for placement of "temps" in businesses.

These companies, known as personnel supply services, are going to experience a 57 percent growth by 2005.

In 1992, workers who had a college education or higher made up 27 percent of the work force. Only 12 percent did not have a high school diploma.

The total employment population was 121 million in 1992, and is expected to grow to 147 million by 2005.

Tlrere will also be a 22 percent increase in the jobs that require at least a Bachelor of arts degree.

The statistics gathered by a recent survey of last year's Cabrini graduates have been released.

They are: 97 percent of graduates are employed full-time and/or in graduate studies, and 80 percent of those are employed in careers related to their course of study. The average starting salary is $25,000.

·segood Why dO we hurt the to your ones we love most? mom

by Kim Sheldron assistant copy editor

There was a time when families could tum on the television and see "The Brady Bunch" or "Little House on the Prairie."

Bobby and Cindy would save up all of"the money in their piggy banks and buy mom and dad an anniversary gift. The show would always start with Mike Brady walking in the front door, laying his briefcase down, and screaming, "Hi honey. I'm home!"

On "Little House on the Prairie," families could see the life of a hard-working, loving family. Laura and Pa would always go fishing together.

Now families tum on the television and see the life of two brothers. One is 15 and one is 17.

They grewuptogether. They probably watched reruns of''The Brady Bunch" together. They went to church together. They shaved their heads together. And now, they are suspected of killing the rest of their family together.

According to a Lehigh County district attorney, Bryan and David Freeman, both skinheads, had threatened to kill their parents in the past.

On Feb. 27, 1995, the bodies of Dennis Freeman, 54, his wife, · Brenda, 48, and their youngest son, Eric, 11, were found in their Allentown, Pa., split-level home, bludgeoned and stabbed to death.

The Freeman brothers were immediate suspects in the case.

Most people are left wondering why things like this happen?

Does the human race really hurt the people they love the most?

"It's beyond sound bytes," Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, said. "I don't have any answers. If you ask

Cavalier mascot sports new threads

by Nina Marie Sciarrotta assistant ed & op ed editor

The Cavalier, Cabrini's mascot, is about to appear lifesize on campus. Student activities has purchased a costume to bring the mascot to life, according to Marianne DeFruscio, director of student activities.

The costume, designed by junior Marty Stamps, was purchased with monies from the Alumni Special Grants Project, which grants funds to help out with special campus projects.

The entire cost of ----the costume was $1100, with the remainder of the money coming from the Student Activities budget.

The idea for a costume came during Parents Weekend of last semester. A cavalier costume was rented, but DeFruscio wanted something different.

"We wanted something much more extravagant," DeFruscio said.

DeFruscio said she considered many different types of costumes prior to finalizing the concept, including the University of Virginia's own version of a cavalier.

The costume, ordered in February, was picked up on April 26. The Cavalier will make his . first appearance at the Spring Fling Block Party this weekend, if someone will volunteer to wear it. _,.,_ "It's great to have a mascot," DeFruscio said. "I don't think that students know that we're the Cavaliers."

She said she hopes the mascot will eventually be present at all campus sports events and many of the activities.

The Cavalier is featured on the Spring Fling mugs, for sale by the SGA programming board.

So, keep a sharp eye out for the latest newcomer on campus this weekend and in the future.

CatholicsprotestDisney'snew release

by Diane Wrobleski staff writer The motion picture "Priest" has been raising some thorny questions in moviegoers' minds and stirring up some controversial issues concerning the Catholic religion. Many Catholics are outraged Movie about the movie's Review content, perceiving it to be an assault on their faith, while at the same time, intriguing movie publicists and Miramax Films, the distributor of the Britishmade movie, to generate even more headlines.

"Priest" was originally written as a four-part drama for British television, and was scheduled to be released to the Ritz Five movie theater in Philadelphia on Good Friday.

But because of a protest lodged by the Catholic League and leaders of the Catholic Church, the date of its release was switched to April 7.

Set in Liverpool, England, this startling drama about sin, faith, fear and tolerance explores many diverse themes that deal with the spirit verses the flesh and homosexuality, and even raises ques-

tions concerning the legitimacy of the Catholic Church'.s rules and regulations in this day and age.

The twisting and turning of so many themes, woven into an hourand-a- half time frame, makes

'There were a lot of heart-wrenching scer:tes in the movie,' sophomore Elizabeth Brister said. 'The viewer could really tel I how hard it can be for priests.' this made for television drama seem to leap out of proportion at times.

The film's central characters include an older priest who is having an affair with his housekeeper and a younger priest who struggles with his homosexuality. The older priest, while casually accepting his blasphemy, sends a message to his audience that priests have stopped pretending, at least to themselves, that they are saintlier than other

men. The movie then moves to a scene where the younger priest removes his shirt and collar for a black leather jacket that he wears to a gay disco to pick up another young man, and later goes home with him. The sex scene that follows reveals the younger priest's conflict between his stern shell ·of piety and his being a slave to temptation. All the while, he tries to remain an ardent Catholic.

At this point, it is suggested that the younger priest, with a fuller experience of humanity and the faith, is the better of the two, simply because he is struggling with his desires and temptations. Unlike the older priest, he understands the spiritual torment that Catholicism is meant to redress.

Just when it seems as if the film's plot revolves around the two priests' struggles, the plot thickens even further, when the younger priest listens to a 14-year-old girl's confession about how her father has been sleeping with her.

The film uses this scene to dig inside the film's central- plot and the emotional paradox. The younger priest acts out his homosexual desires yet honors the sa-

credness of the confessional, thus violating his most compassionate instincts as a man. Now the younger priest is faced with yet another dilemma, but it reaches its climax when the child's father also comes into confess his side of the story.

The priest begs the father to stop the abuse and advises him to get help, all the while debating whether or not he should tell the girl's mother. The priest struggles with the decision as to whether or not he should intervene with the child's situation of sexual abuse and how he can do it without violating his oath of silence.

"There were a lot of heartwrenching scenes in the movie," sophomore Elizabeth Brister said. "The viewer could really tell how hard it can be for priests.

"Priests can have so many stresses in their life, because they have so many people who come to them with their problems and°depend on them for the right answers," Brister said.

According to The Philadelphia Catholic Standard and Times, Arthur J. Delaney, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights of Greater Philadel-

phia-South Jersey, said the obvious purpose of the film is to suggest that the Catholic Church is the cause of these character defects.

He said it is an offensive production that is particularly insulting to Catholics.

While many are outraged by the film, some are simply outraged that Disney, the film's owner and owner of Miramax, is releasing the movie.

The concern is that Disney is the force behind this movie that not only casts priests as being deprived, but explains their depravity by blaming the Catholic Church. Therefore, the "family values" company has shown a side to the public that many people believe is very disturbing.

According to USA Today, despite the bomb threats, boycotts and protests, Miramax's "Priest"· pulled in approximately $1,000 per screen (on about 150 screens) in its first day of national release on April 19. Miramax said it also believes that because of its wide interest and attention, it may be possible for the film to cross over to commercial theaters in the near future.

However, Depp salvaged the movie by creating the aura of romance and mystery. The settings, from a small little restaurant with a dinner by candle light to an exotic little deserted island, were enough to sweep any woman off her feet.

Kodak moments on display

by Donna M. Schaeffer staff writer

As the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words."

The photography club's annual photo contest is a perfect example of this. The theme for this year was "Friends and Friendship."

"Friendship is self-explanatory," said junior Caroline Croley, who is also the president of the photography club. "Friendship is something everyo.pe can relate to."

The contest was open to the entire campus community, and entrants could submit as many photos as they chose. The entrance fee was $1 for each photo submitted. The money raised will go toward future trips and activities for the photography club.

First-year student Stacey Caiazzo said she thought it would be fun to enter.

"I wanted other people to see the kind of experience I gained by taking Carter's classes," Caiazzo said.

As an incentive for people to enter, Carter Craigie, professor of English and communications and theclub'sadviser, donated the prize money.

"I wanted to stimulate people to tum in pictures," Craigie said. He also added that it was traditional to give money for prizes.

The pictures were judged by Bruce Walker, a friend of Craigie' s and an avid photographer.

This photo, by Caroline Croley, won best color picture in the annual photo contest.

"He's the best photographer that

I know," Craigie said.

The categories were Best of Show, Best Color, Best Black and White and five Honorable Mentions.

Craigie said more people participated this year than in past years, but he would have liked to have seen even more participants.

"I hope the show will be bigger and even better in years to come," Craigie said.

Best in Show was awarded to junior Dawnielle Klopp for "Billy and Michael," her picture of two young brothers. Klopp also took

the prize for Best Black and White for "Side by Side."

Croley' s "Meredith Gintzig and Tyler," was named Best Color photo of the contest.

Honorable Menlion prizes went to sophomore Marie Barrett for "Best friend, Teddy" and "David's Clubhouse," junior Nina Sciarrotta for "Two Wolves," sophomore Heather Beltran for "Sweet Victory," and sophomore Yoon-Ah Choi for "Couple Hiking in Trees."

The pictures will be on display for the next three weeks outside of campus ministry in the Widener Center.

Junior Dawnielle Klopp's photograph, titled "Billy and Michael," won overall prize in the annual photography contest.

Anne Frank'sdiariesnewly-released

by Jane S. Van lngen op-ed editor

It has been 50 years since the death of Anne Frank, whose diary has made her a household name. The recent publication of the expanded edition of Frank's diary commemoBook rates her death.

The diary was Review first published by her father, Otto Frank, and Miep Gies, the woman who helped the Franks and four other Jews mainlain their lives in hiding during the Nazi occupation of Germany.

Although her father realized that her diary of their years in hiding was a legacy that rieeded to be shared, he also felt certain passages were sensitive and should not be included. The expanded diary includes those sensitive passages, and as a result, we get a much broader picture of Anne.

Anne emerges as someone who is not only more self-aware but also more cynical and more vulnerable than we knew. She remembers with pain her school days. She longs for those days when she was carefree and surrounded by friends. She is not bitter though. Instead, she wonders with nostalgia, knowing full well many of her friends were in a similar predicament. She also writes of her continual desire to learn, descri~ing her past math and biology teachers.

Anne clearly believed in toterance and tried to see the best in everyone, despite the odds. Nonetheless, she was aware of the sexism around her and was not afraid to write about it. She writes with annoyance about the sexism of the Van Daams, the other family who lived in the same house as the Franks. She cites the unfair division of Sunday chores

as an example. Mr. Van Daam felt men should be in charge and it was expected for women to do housework. Anne was quick to observe that although her mother disagreedopenly,Mrs. VanDaam went along with whatever her husband said.

Although Anne also wrote about her problems with her mother and meeting the man of her dreams, she also wanted to live a creative and independent life, something that was unthinkable in the '50s. Anne was smart beyond her years and I find her strong feminist views admirable.

Some of the entries that have been included in the definitive edition have been previously published in "Anne Frank's Tales from the Secret Annex." This book also includes essays and short stories. f do not think that Anne became a writer solely out of boredom or solitude. She

clearly had a vivid imagination, a sharp mind and a sense of adventure.

Anne's stories appear to be reflections of herself or of the environment she was in. She writes of people escaping danger or being rescued by dwarves and guardian angels. She writes of mischievous girls and girls who were outcasts. She also makes several references to food, something which was not in abundance in the annex.

One of the most poignant essays Anne wrote is called "Fear."

It is about having a faith in God despite being in danger. This is a hard enough concept to understand on a day-to-day basis. Her courage is something we could all benefit from. I was also moved by "Jackie,"which said that looking into nature is equivalent to looking into oneself. Both can cure all despair.

"Give" was one of her omitted diary entries that I was also moved by. Anne writes honestly about giving, compassion and poverty. If written today, this essay would be considered "politically correct." Instead, it is an essay about love written by a girl who was living in an environment full of hate.

I have read the original "Diary of Anne Frank" many times and have always been inspired by her wit, curiosity and perseverance. After reading the new edition of her diary, as well as her short stories and essays, it is clear to me that Anne was a woman ahead of her times.

I have always wondered what Anne would be like if she survived, but now I know. She would be a strong, independent woman and a great writer.

She is with us in spirit, through her diary and her stories.

Pay-per-viewgets off to a slow start

by Caroline Croley managing editor Atone time,going to the theaterwas the only way to see a movie. Now viewers have the options of going to their local video rental store or sittingin the comfort of their own home and ordering a movie on pay-per-view.

"Currently,pay-per-viewisacable system that offers the viewing public from one-to-eight channelswhere the viewer can order a movie at a time," l..aurieSilverman,presidentofWomen in Cable, said. "In the future,pay-per-

Speaker gives 'homework help'

by Beth Molloy and Jamie Latshaw assistant news editor and staff writer

Imagine this. You let that ten-page paper wait until the very last minute. It is now the night before that dreaded due date, and you have absolutely no information. The library has closed. It is 2 a.m.

What are you going to do?

There is a solution to your problem. Simply tap into Homework Helper, an on-line computer service that works through Prodigy.

On Thursday, April 20, Patricia Kennedy, director of special projects for Infonautics in Wayne, Pa., explained the advantages of using this type of service to the English/ communications department.

According to Kennedy, the program was designed to inspire critical thinking among the younger population.

The ability to look at multiple points of view at once is also an advantage of the program. She also said it was intended to be easy enough for children to use.

The program is currently geared toward kindergarten through 12th grade, and _according to Kennedy, will expand to Include higher education, news services and businesses.

The information made available by the program is somewhat limited because it is geared toward elementary and secondary school students.

According to Kennedy, Homework Helper is a great convenience to the users since research can be acquired from the home.

All a student must do is state a query and the program will search databases to list several reference materials. The program

Career Development speaker Patricia Kennedy tells her audience about "Homework Helper." She came to speak on Thursday, April 20 in the WCLH.

will scan more than 100 newspapers, almost 500 magazines, 2,000 books, 10,000 photographs, several encyclopedias and almanacs, television and radio broadcast transcripts, a dictionary and thesaurus, and maps of every state, country, continent and major city.

So now that you have a list of references, you may ask what you do next.

Homework Helper also has the ability to present the_reference directly by displaying it right on the screen.

This eliminates the hours in the library searching for that reference.

It gets even better. What if there is not enough time to read through all of the references? · Remember, it is 2 a.m. Who wants to read

at tpis hour?

Homework Helper eliminates long hours of reading irrelevant information. Just click on the "best part" icon with the mouse, and you are well on your way. Homework Helper will highlight the most important parts of the reference, and therefore, save a lot of time.

Homework Helper was released on April 1, and there are presently 10,000 students who use the service. It is also available in the computer lab in the Upper Dublin High School.

The cost for the service is $9.95 a month for five hours of service. Each additional hour is $2.95.

According to Kennedy, this program is just the beginning of a whole list of techno-

logical advances that will be seen in the future.

Kennedy said that because of these future advances, people will be able to focus on those they want to be with. Less time will be spent running around looking for resources, and in turn, more time can be spent at home.

The idea for the program is the result of three minds situated around a kitchen table, according to Kennedy.

First-year student Julie Pochiluk said that the program will benefit kids now, but even more in the long run.

"It gets little kids involved, and teaches them not to be afraid of computers," Pochiluk said.

She also said that computers are a sign of the future generation and that it is important to get kids involved with them now, since.! computers will be such a large part of their future.

First-year student Jennifer Mack agreed with Pochiluk.

"By using it (the program), they can see what it can do for them, and it can help to prepare them for the future," Mi.icksaid.

As for the future, Kennedy said she would not mind sitting on a beach somewhere with all she needed right at her fingertips, just as AT&T promises in their commercials. She said that this can happen if technology continues to advance at the present pace.

Accordingto McWilliams,this was the first time they have been able to do a series with students.Lastyearit was attempted,but the show nevergot off the ground.

"It takes a different breed of students," McWilliamssaid. ''This group is creative and enthusiastic."

University invitational on Saturday, April 22.

Michele Olsen, a junior, won the open 3000, while Rowena Rutherford, a firstyear student, won the open shot put.

Heather Odium, a first-year student, threw to second place in the shot put.

Rutherford said there was not much competition, although she felt she tried her best and she is satisfied with her finish.

The women's distance medley relay also finished in first on Saturday.

The team consisted of Sue Edenborn, a first-year student, who ran the first leg of 800 meters; Odium, who ran second leg of 400 meters; Nicole Volikas, a first-year student, ran third leg of 1200 meters; and Michele Olsen, who ran the final leg of 1600 meters.

Edenborn said that even though the weather was windy and cold, she felt she ran well.

Cabrini was also the only school to sign up to run the distance medley, although according to Edenborn, they finished in 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

Odium said she competed in the shot put just to try it out. Odium usually runs the 100 and 400 hurdles.

"I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't pleased," Odium said.

"I tried my hardest but the weather was windy and cold, making it difficult to run in the distance medley," Odium said.

The team competed against many large state schools from New York to Virginia.

Coach Tom O'Hara said he has a "small hardy bunch" and the people that did go to the invitational did well.

The women were not able to compete in the 4 by 100 relay since Eboni Watkins, a first-year student, is out with an injury.

O'Hora said that the team is one of the best Cabrini has had.

O'Hora also said he was glad they were invited to the invitational, but the team is preparing for next week's Philadelphia Metropolitan Small College Championships.

The women's team has won the championship the past three years.

According to O'Hara, the only team that Cabrini has not defeated in the regular season is Stockton College of New Jersey.

O'Hora said that Cabrini is "not the favorites" this year and the team is going to need a super effort from all the runners and field events in order to beat Stockton.

Odlum said she is not sure what to expect at the championships, but she said she feels that she can possibly win both the 100 and 400 hurdles.

The men's lacrosse team traveled to Long Island, N.Y. on Saturday, April 22 to participate in the prestigious Dowling Tournament.

Cabrini participated in the tournament along with Dowling, Manhattan and Oneonta colleges, all of New York.

Last year the Cavaliers placed second in the tournament, but there was no placement this year becausethere were only four teams.

The Cavs now have an overall record of 3-

5.

The Cavs faced Oneonta in the first round of the televised two-day tournament.

According to coach Randy Mills, Oneonta is one of the top teams in Division Ill. The Cavs lost their first contest of the tournament, 16-6, but not for lack of trying.

"The guys played two tough periods, but were let down," Mills said. "We gave them all we had."

Sophomore defense man Dennis Fohn er agreed with coach Mills.

According to Fohner, the Cavs played well in the first half of their first game against Oneonta but let it slip away in the second half SophomoreKyleSimonssaidhethought the Cavs stuck with Oneonta until the third quarter.

"We slacked off and it was too late to catch up," Simons said.

It was obvious that the Cavaliers were not going to go away quietly.

They stormed back with a 14-7 triumph over Manhattan in their second game. Manhattan is a club team this year who will go Division I next year.

In their game with Manhattan, Simons saidtheCavsonlyplayedwiththem,matching them goal for goal.

"Wedidn'tplaytoourpotential,"Simons said. "Finally, toward the end, we got ourselves together and started putting them (goals) in."

According to Fohner, the Cavs played better in their game against Oneonta than in their game against Manhattan.

"We started out weak against Manhattan but ended strong," Fohner said.

First-year student Mike Friel received the Unsung Hero Award of the tournament.

According to Mills, sophomore goalie Kevin Camp and junior goalie Kevin Besemer both had two outstanding games. . Simons said the weather was nice and the various activities, such as crafts and little league baseball games, made the trip fun. Mills agreed.

"The tournament was a fun time for all the players," Mills said. "All in all, everyone had a good time."

The Cavs have five games left on their schedule.

According to Fohner, their biggest game is Wednesday, May 3 at home against Widener University.

The team also received much-need cash and a fringe prospect.

Hill, top reliever for the Expos, was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals gave up pitchers Bryan· Eversgerd and Kirk Bullinger and outfielder Darond Stovall..

The trades of the pitchers were blamed on the lack of money, due to the fact that

Tap in to Mac

by Bob Macartney sports columnist

At 7:37 p.m. on Tuesday, life became normal again.

They say there are no baseball purists anymore. They say that basketball and football and even hockey have surpassed the national pastime in the eyes of today's yout)l.

They !\ay all of this, and I start to believe it.

Then, I wake up one spring morning, and I can literally feel the difference in the air. Tuesday was one of those mornings.

I used to go to baseball games with my father, grandfather and uncle before I could walk. We sat behind the plate for 16 games a year, and watched some great Phillies teams win a lot of ballgames.

The Phillies won theironly World Series in 1980, and my dad died the next day. Baseball was now ingrained in my soul forever, the bond between a son and the memories of his father.

Throughout grade school, my mom, my sister and I would sit in the upper deck for five or so games. We saw some pretty bad teams lose a lot of games.

Summers would come, and I would trek down the shore with my family. During the week at 7:30 p.m., I would settle down on the porch, with my Uncle Chai and Uncle Joe and listen to Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn call the game. It became a ritual. My Uncle George, the cynic 9f the group, would sit in the living room and listen on his radio, bad-mouthing every Phillie who stepped up to the plate.

My grandfather, who used to carry me into the Vet as a boy, would be in Philly, and I hardly talked to him in the summer. But, on the rare occasions when I did see him, the conveFsation always drifted to baseball. We attended at least one game a year, to keep our own special tradition alive.

During the eight months of the baseball strike, my grandfather got very ill. He is presently in intensive care. My Uncle Joe, almost 90, was in and out of the tiospital. My Uncle George, who "can't see out of one eye," became even more cynical.

I was worriedthatthe strikewould take away my last chance to share

the game of baseballwith them.

Thati~why, at7:37p.m. on Tuesday, everythingwas normalagain.

It is a game of rituals and traditions and purists,and I am happyto say thatI amone, andalwayswill be.

And so will be my son. And his. I owe it to my dad, my grandfather, my uncles. I owe it to the game.

Men'stennisfaces tough losses-onand off the court

by Dave D/Matteo staff writer

The defending Pennsylvania Athletic Conference champions continue to slide, but Coach Reggie pay vows "we will be back."

The men's tennis team dropped their last three matches against Allentown, Eastern and Kings dropping their record to 3-

10.

"It was really tough trying to recuperate after the formal," Alex Cork.hill, a first-year student, said.

"I wasn't in the right mind to play tennis."

Dan Dotsey, a first-year student, said, "I think it was because of low morale."

There has been a lot of turmoil on the team this year. On Saturday, April 22, Wally Fiore, a junior, left after his doubles match because of an argument he had with Day, according to Dotsey.

"He didn't even play his singles match, so we had to forfeit that game. I don't know if he quit or he was thrown off the team," Dotsey said. ·· But with the PAC Championship set to be played Friday and Saturday, April 28-29, the team is going to try to put the problems they have with Day behind them, according to Dotsey.

"I think if we had the team we had in the beginning of the year we would easily win the PAC," Dotsey said. "But we have lost half the team since then."

"I think Alex Cork.hill and I will

win the number one doubles and Alex should definitely win his match," Dotsey said. "I think my match can go either way. I grew up with the number one man from Eastern and we played against each other all summer long, we know each other's game pretty well."

According to Dotsey, senior Frank Petrane also has a pretty good chance to win his match at the number four singles.

"Even though we have had a miserable record up until now, we have done well in the PAC," Day said. "We have had a lot of tough loses, 5-4 and 6-3."

The team is really down on personnel and talent this year, according to Day. "Our problem is that we have a lot of enthusiasm, but not enough skills."

The team's two brightest spots have come by way of Dotsey and Corkhill.

"I think Dotsey and Cork.hill can win the number one and number two singles in the PAC along with thenumberone doubles team," Day said. "They are both firstclass players."

Petrane and Bill Myers, a firstyear student, have been two other surprises on the team this year.

"Petrane and Myers have done a really good job this year," Day said. "Petrane never played competitive tennis before this year, and he is doing a great job. He has had some tough loses against some really good competition. Myers has played very consistent , and has come a really long way. They both

bring a Jot of maturity to the team."

Most people measure a team by the wins and losses that they have, which is true, but people also have to look at how dedicated the players are. The ones who stay with you through thick and thin," Days said. "It's been a really tough season."

According to Day, the program is really starting to grow and he is working on getting some rea1ly good recruits for next year.

"I really don't think we have a strong chance to defend the championship because we don't have the players," Day added.

"Eastern and Allentown are the two strongest teams in the PAC," Day said.

According to Day, the Cavaliers were rea1ly strong last year, and not so strong this year.

Allentown, on the other hand, was weak overall last year, but turned their program around this year with new players.

"There has been a Jot of good parity in the PAC over the past couple of years," Day said.

The PAC Championship will be played Friday and Saturday, April 28-29, at Cabrini and Eastern.

But the defending PAC champions will have to put the off court problems behind them if they want to have a shot at retaining their title.

"I'm looking forward to playing in the PAC," Dotsey said.

"But overall this year has sucked."
