First-yearstudentsfit into colleg.elife by John Lindsay arts & entertainment editor

The flood of first-year students has taken the campus by storm. It seems the first-year students are everywhere, with a class size of 227 people. Meeting people seemed to be the main concern of most of the first-year students. "I was really scared when I first got here because I didn't think that I would make friends," first-year student Becky Raetsch said. "But now our whole floor is friends." "If one of them goes someplace we all go someplace. We all get along really well, "Raetsch said "It's good because I'm away from home and the people are really nice," first-year student Joe Pilson said. "Everyday is getting ·better as you meet new people," first-year student Brandie Plasket said. For the most part, the new students said they really enjoy the company of the upperclassmen and each other. "The people are great," firstyear student Gavin Mirigliani said. "Best time of my life." "My high school was a lot bigger than this, so I thought getting

to know people and getting in with the upperclassmen was going to be hard," first-year student Michelle Schaeffler said. "It's really not. I know all the OCs, and everybody is really nice here." Students did not seem to have trouble moving in. "Moving was easy," first-year student Laura Matteucci said. "I

like the people so far." The trouble did not seem to be with moving in. It was with leaving home. "I'm adjusting okay, but I was really scared and homesick," Plasket said . "It was difficult being away from home," first-year student Brian Hopkins said. "It gets better everyday. You meet more

people and it improves." "I was homesick at first because I am from Massachusetts, but now I am getting used to it," first-year student Danielle Nesbitt said. "Moving from high school to college took some getting used to I'm a bit homesick," first-year student Stephanie Piechowski said.

Getting along with your roommate is always a concern. "It's really nice and I get along with my roommate," first-year student Kristi Theis said. A few of the students do not mind living in a triple. "Living with the three of them is good," Piechowski said. Some the students are enjoying their academic life here at Cabrini. "Classes are great," Mirigliani said. "The classes are small, which is good, because I need that," Pilson said. Some of the first-year students have changed as far as their personalities. . "I am more out going than I was before," first-year student Sean Favretto said. "1'm meeting more people." For one student, culture shock is an issue. "The only thing I don't like about college so far is I'm from a different city that no one has ever heard of, and some people make fun of my accent," first-year student Kelly Gallagher said. "I say 'pop' instead of soda." It was best summed up by Mirigliani, "College i's awesome!"

PERSPECTIVES

SGA, Openfor business Remember in junior high and high school when student government was the tool of the cool kids? When the really hip candidates promised to have bands play in the cafeteria and abolish homework, while the nerds were the only ones concerned with student issues? Well, hopefully, we all have evolved since entering college, and so should student government. Student government association "wants the campus community to know they do exist this year and wants to be taken ~eriously." That is fine. But how can this be when mo(,t of the students only appreciate, support and involve themselves in the committees that set up the parties and repeatedly ignore the ones that are designed to r~present class issues and opinions. Student government should be about more than party dee.orations, bands and alcoholic beverages. It should take a firm stand on issues vital to the college and its campus. SGA should lobby the president with student opinions and stand up for the rights of every student. Yes, students must realize that SGA does not and will not work without their input and support. SGA does not include only elected board meinbers. Every student at the college is a part of SGA. The student government association has come a long way since its demise a few years ago. It realizes it has a long way to go, and hopefully it will be a journey that we all make together.

like much, and it was not always easy going through the transitions, but I thank my father and his job for moving me around and giving me the opportunity to learn from a variety of people. Listening to each other and sharing our experiences is also the root of our education. We can learn so much from each other without being in a classroom and spending our summer earnings on books that we may not even use. Sharing and experiencing other Americans' lives is the best education one can receive, and the cheapest. Learning from each other is a. rich experience with no monetary value. Listening and sharing are two basic skills that we learn in kindergarten and sometimes we sadly forget as we get older. This education helps build the fence this country was founded on. The fence does not keep people on either side. The gates let people go from one side to the other, or it simply lets the person sit upon it. Through the education I have received, I have learned that I must give everyone a chance. Even two chances are always worth a try. First impressions could be deceiving. "Beauty of Gray" by Live is another small step to make our society aware of the fence. This song is helping to take down the barriers people put up. It is like when you are growing up and your parents are always telling you to think before you say something. The music may not say it directly in those words, but in the way one can interpret the song, the message gets across. It is not a black and white world, and maybe,just maybe, we will all get to appreciate the beauty of gray.

PERSPECTIVES

.JLetterto the 'editor Lookingat th·ebright·$ide of life Michele Paquet, junior

Things are not as bad as they seem. Thisoldsayingisoftenusedas a form of encouragement; but when you feel down and out and nothing is going right, this statementmight seem hard to accept. Over this past summer, I've had an experience that put some truth to this age-old saying. My summer did not start out the way that I had hoped it would. As most of my friends were heading for the beaches, I was stuck at home, terribly sick, in chronic pain. It was a pain that I knew too well...kidney stones. I tried to face this problem with an optimistic point of view. At least I knew what to expect this time. A week in bed couldn't be all that bad, right? Unfortunately, things did get a whole lot worse.· Since my kidney stones were located on both kidneys, they would only be able to work on one kidney at a time. This meant I would need two separate surgical procedures done. The stones on my left kidney were so big, the doctors would have to remove them one by one. At the very least, I would have to go through three surgeries in a matter of six weeks.

Needless to say, I was not a very happy camper when I went into the hospital for my first surgery. I kept thinking to myself, why does everything bad happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? Why me??? The first person who approached me in the operating room introduced himself as Tom Stanley. When he asked me bow I was feeling, I told him my long sob story about what I had been going through. Through the sob story, he just smiled at me. and nodded his head. 'Things aren't as bad as they seem," he said. "Just think, if you didn't need to have this surgery, we would have never met today!" I could have thought of other places I would have liked to have met this man, but I laughed to be polite ..When Tom started to put the IV needle into my ann, my eyes filled with tears. All of a sudden, Tom started singing ''The Prayer of St. Francis." His voice was so calming and gentle, I immediately stopped crying. How could a voice so angelic ever hurt anyone? Before I knew it, I found myself singing right alongwith him. As we strained for the high note, we both broke down and started laughing. The next thing I remember is being in the recovery room with my parents by my side. While I was telling them about Tom, one of the nurses in the room told us he had to overcome a lot of adversity to be where he is today. It turns out that he

had a brain tumor five years ago. The tumor was so bad, mostly everyone thinks it is a miracle that he is alive today. My mother is convinced that Tom is my guardian angel. I'm not so sure I would go as far as to say that I was touched by an angel. All I know is Tom has certainly touched my life. He taught me a very valuable lesson which I had forgotten. Ever since that day, things have been getting a Jot better. I've been to Florida, gotten my driver's license, seen "Phantom of the Opera" and much more. I've been feeling much better now too. My doctor thinks the kidney stones I have been forming is caused by calcium. I just have to be extremely careful of my calcium intake, and I'm required to drink three water bottles a day. My doctor will bekeepingaverycloseeyeonmefor the next three months to make sure that everything is all right. Of course, all of this is an inconvenience, but if it keeps me away from hospitals, I'll be willing to do anything. I also look on life in a positive way. I have learned to be thankful for the things God has given me: a home to live in, a loving family and wonderful friends who are always there for me. Sometimes it is very easy to take these things for granted and forget there are people in your life who love you and will do anythingfor you. It is almost as easy to forget that things aren't as bad as they seem.

All comments are welcomed.

Dear editor in chief, It was with mixed emotions that I read both the articles "OCs Canned in Wake.of Alcohol Scandal" and the editorial "Know When To Say When." As one of the individuals who was specifically mentioned in the article, I regret the situation that occurred and recognize that the decision made by the administration was the correct one. I realize what the school policy is regarding alcohol use on campus, and, while I personally was not drinking at the party that night, I know that I should have discouraged and reported the incident. The one aspect of the article with which I strongly take exception is the allegation on your part that I "never responded" to your "numerous attempts to contact me." If you would recall, you made one call to my house. If you would check your answering machine, you wi11see that I did return your call and it was in fact you who did .not return my caIJ ! If you take the situation as it actually occurred, then the editorial regarding the issue applies as much, if not even more so, to the reporting staff of Loquitur. · In the editorial it states ";when a student takes on the responsibility of becoming a campus leader, thereby becoming a liaison between the students and the administration, certain sacrifices must be made." In the case of the reporter, that sacrifice is reporting the situation as it actually occurred and not in a way that will "sell papers." I know that you will not have to face the same consequence of getting fired for doing something wrong like I did and I did not write this with the intention of bringing more attention to my name in Loquitur. What I do want to point out is that what you reported was, in fact, a lie. If you are going to pursue a career in journalism, I would suggest you do it correctly next time even if it does not grab your readers' attention or make for a more "juicy" article. Beth Stanbach, junior

Correction: The eqitorial staff of Loquitur stands by the article "OCs Canned in Wake of Alcohol Scandal." Although limited information was available, the writer accurately reported the incident as it was addressed by credible sources. The article was incorrect stating that Stanbach did not respond to the reporter's call. According to the reporter, one call was made to Stanbach's off-campus home. Stanbach received the call, and said she would call the reporter back at a more convenient time. Stanbach returned the call and gave the reporter an on-campus phone number and time she could be reached the following day. It has come to light that during that week, there was a problem with the on-campus telephone system. Numerous attempts were made at the appointed time to contact Stanbach at the on-campus number. Messages were left on the extension's voice mail, and at other times, the reporter could not get into the voice-mail system. The reporter did not get any further response from Stanbach. Therefore, it is likely that a problem with the phone system may have caused the miscommunication between Stanbach and the reporter. Loquitur regrets the error.

SGA le~rns from the past and changes the future by Caroline Croley photography eqitor

Change might. be the best way to describe the 1995-96 Student Government Association (SGA). Student government wants the campus community to know they do exist this year and want to be taken seriously, according to senior Maura Wiswall, corresponding secretary. Unlike past boards, the executive board has been working on rewriting the constitution, creating goals for this year and for the future, and participating in leadership camp that was held the last week in August. "Our biggest concern is that we want to be there for the students," junior Andrea Kelliher, president, said. "There are seven members of the executive Andrea Kelliher board who have committed themselves to working together." "There was a lack of organization and a lack of friendship in the past," junior Melissa Scornavacca, vice president, said. "One of our biggest changes this year is rewriting the constitution," sophomore Andrew Burke, treasurer, said. "This is a work in progress." The new constitution sets up a structure for SGA.

Ride the rails in Strasburg by Nina Marie Sciarrotta features editor

Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Lancaster County, is Strasburg, home to one of America's oldest running steam railroads. In operation since 1832, the railroad offers tourists a chance to relive a bit of history as they board the fully restored and op.erational steam train for the short trip to Paradise, Pa. Passengers may choose to ride in the first-class parlor car, the standard wooden coaches or the open-air observation cars, perfect for taking pictures of the surrounding area. On the way to Paradise, the train passes turkey farms and picnic grounds. The train stops briefly at Groff's Grove to allow picnickers to disembark and enjoy their lunches. If you listen closely, you might even hear the whistle of a ghost train wrecked years ago. Close by is the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, which houses a large collection of passenger cars and locomotives. There is even a red caboose motel, where tourists can spend the night in a caboose converted into sleeping quarters.

Ad m i n is tr at i o n tackles new goals by Justin Mlrigliani

New administrative goals are expected to develop into visible improvements on the campus in order to benefit students. The offices of the college administration has goals and aspirations for the upcoming year. Each department has several goals to help the college run better as a whole. Al Mollica is the executive director of institutional advancement. ''What we want to try to do is increase income, but at the same time, raise money by spending less. Cost-effective fund raising," Mollica said. "We will try to communicate with alumni with face-to-face activities." Mollica said he would like to continue improving college relations. "We will try to focus on what we do best at Cabrini and market it," Mollica said. Mollica' s department is also working to make the computers throughout the school more efficient. Mollica said he feels that while last year wasastrangeyearforhisdepartment,itwas a successful one. According to Mollica, an important aspect of Cabrini, is keeping the Cabrini ·values alive. Mollica said this could be achieved if different divisions and departments work to improve the college. Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president for studentdevelopment, will also be extremely busy this year. One of the major goals on Bonfiglio's agenda is to support student government. Bonfiglio said the student development association is reborn. "We will do what we can to help it grow and prosper," Bonfiglio said. Bonfiglio said he has been working hard to get the addition to the Dixon House finished. It has taken a lot of work with the township and zoning to complete the construction. Student developmentis trying to finalize plans for the athletic complex. The department is planningto increasethe studentactivities budget,as well as the athleticbudget They are setting up a van service that will run every hour between Villanova University, Eastern College, Rosemont College, Cabrini College and the Kingswood apartments. They are responsible for the 40 . additional parking spaces that will be added to Residential Boulevard . Bonfiglio said his department achieved what they had previous!y set out to do. Last year the division helped student government reorganize. They improved health services on campus by hiring a doctor and adding an exam

room, and they lengthened the hours of drug and alcohol groups. Student development was successful in hiring more fulltime security on campus. Student development was also instrumental. in 'getting the gathering area renovated. The department has also set up plans for the Dixon House. "The staff has been· good at sticking to goals," Bonfiglio said. Bonfiglio said he gives a lot of credit to the staff. The academic affairs department is also getting ready for a big year. Dr. Thomas Boeke,academic dean and provost, said the department is looking forward to renovating Sacred Heart Hall. The department was successful in implementing new majors such as finance, professional communications and sports science. Boeke commented on scheduling and the. parking problem. "We don't have a parking problem, we have a scheduling problem," Boeke said. "We don't use the classroom space that we have. In my opinion, the schedule needs to be improved." One hundred specially selected firstyear students will be involved in a program on Sept. 13. The results will demonstrate to the academic affairs office the competence of Cabrini's liberal education program. Boeke said his office wants to implement more weekend collegecourses. Boeke said he felt last year was moderately successful. "It was [successful) in some ways, and some ways, it wasn't," Boeke said. The office will review some of the fields of study offered by Cabrini to see how they can be improved. Another office which is important to the students of Cabrini is the registrar. "We accomplished so much this year," administrative assistant Karen Karlsen said. The registrar's biggest goal is the implementation of the advising module. The module will benefit the first-year students and sophomores, along.with a few juniors. The module will allow advisers to see what courses their advisees have taken and what courses they still need to take. The registrar is trying to get this program out to the advisers by January. The employees agreed that one of their goals is to improve the efficiency of the office. "Customer service is our game," assistant registrar Tara Gropp said. "We want to have personalized services," registrar Leslie Sutton-Skinner said. The Cabrini community is back and ready for another year. All of the departments have set their goals and have started climbing toward them.

Students from the Children's School read the writing on the wall at their new location in the United Church of Christ in Valley Forge. Many education students here at Cabrini saw that writing on the wall long before the school moved to an off-campus location. The Children's School has been a part of Cabrini's campus for the last 20 years. The move has left many education students upset, which ultimately led to a protest last year.

College-bound students score 100 more on S.A.T. by Kathy Cephas perspectives editor

This year, college-bound high school students taking the dreaded Scholastic Aptitude Test, will receive an extra 100 points for just showing up. According to the New York Times, College Board officials insist that the added points will help to bring the average scores back to the center of the bell curve, the midpoint on a graph of all scores that indicates average performance. Adjusted for the first time since 1941, S.A.T. scores have steadily declined to an average of 424 in the verbal portion of the test and 4 79 in the math section, when the average score was 500 math and 500 verbal, the midpoint of the 200-800 grading scale. The scoring change, which will mostly affect the graduating class of the year 2000, has caused the National Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA) to announce that it is raising the minimum

''I can't believe I am paying money to climb a wall," one first-time climber said as she entered the warehouse. Indoorsport climbing is the indoorversion of rock climbing. The "rocks" on the walls are both handmade and manufactured. There are trails markedwith coloredtape to indicatethe difficulty of the climb and to lead the way to the top.

Then imagine a day in the sun surrounded by. refreshing water and enjoying a free cookout with good friends. Sound too good to be true? It is not. It is "Battles & Paddles," one day of paintball and one day of rafting. The battles are held while playing skirmish, better known as paintball. The sun and the cookout come into play while paddling down the Lehigh River. Skirmish and whitewater rafting are the sports of the '90s. Paintballistoday'smostcompetitive adventure sport. It is the adult version of "capture the flag." Opposing teams compete with one common goal, to capture the other team's flag and return it home. A basic skirmish match consists of six or more games, lasting about 45 minutes each. The games are played on 10 to 30 acres of wooded playing fields. Dressed in camouflage and masks, the players roam the field, ducking behind trees and keeping low behind bushes to stay out of the enemy's sight, stalking their opponent. All equipment needed is provided. Players are armed with pump-fed "guns" that shoot gelatin capsule "ammunition" to mark your opponents. When a player is shot, the paint pellet breaks and splatters the victim. The victim then goes to the "dead zone" where he or she waits for the game to end. When one team . is victorious, all players are "alive" again forthe next match. While rafting down the Lehigh River Gorge, players ride the rapids, engage in water fights using buckets and water guns and take occasional swims if desired. Rafts, which hold four to six people, paddles and life jackets are provided. Wet suit rentals are available and there is convenient river store. Skirmish U.S.A. and Pocono Whitewater Rafting, the sight of "Battles & Paddles," is located in Jim Thorpe, Pa., only 90 minutes from the Philadelphia area. For directions, more information, lodging availability and reservations, call (717) 325-3654. "Battles & Paddles" is $65 perperson and low group rates are available.

equipment involved in climbing is a sit harness, which is designed so the climber can glide down the wall in a seated position; shoes with sticky rubber souls for better traction; chalk, which is similar to a gymnast chalk that reduces the moisture on the hands from sweat for a better grip, the rope and a caribeiner. The caribeiner is an oval pear-shape metal piece that locks the ropes and the harness of the belayer securely. Once climbers are set to go, they can climb for as long as they wish with their belayer. The belayer is the person who guides the rope asthe climber goes up the wall. The belayer is also respoOS1ble for pickingup the slack in the rope so the climber is secure.They are also there to guide climberswhen they want to glide down the wall by giving the climbers slack in the rq,e.

After the fall is under control, the climber can again get secure and safely finish the journey down the wall. The first indoor facility in the United States was built in 1989. The sport is growing rapidly worldwide, and will be featured as a speqator event in ~e 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

Philadelphiato welcomea largerSpectrum by Laura Testa news editor

From a distance, it appears to be an unfinished skeleton of steel and concrete. Take a closer look, and there are nearly 100 workers in hard hats and goggles constructing the body of the building. Of course, this is no ordinary building. This is the future home of the Philadelphia Flyers and Sixers. Looking at the shell of this building, it is almost possible to imagine the crowd of 19,500 fans cheering Eric Lindros on as he skates from one end of the ice to the other to score the game-winning goal for the Flyers. You can picture Shawn Bradley reaching up and slamming the ball through the hoop at the buzzer. Finally, after years of plans and dreams, the $210 million CoreStates Center is coming to life. The grand opening has been set for September 1996, with plans of the building being completely enclosed by this December. The new center will fill the vacancy left by .the John F. Kennedy stadium, which was demolished in 1991. Ed Snider, the owner of the Spectator, which is a sports, entertainment and communications firm comprised of af: filiated entities such as the CoreStates Spectrum and the Flyers, came up with the plan to build a new state-of-the-art arena. Snider invited Harold Katz, the owner of the Sixers, to take part in Ju~e of 1991. The arena will seat approximately 19,500 spectators for Flyers' games and 21,000 for 76ers games and most concerts.

Initially, Katz accepted, but later he disputed how much revenue his team would make from the luxury seats and the amount the Sixers would have to pay to use the arena during playoff games. Katz needed a place for his team to play, so he started looking for other arenas. In 1994, Katz signed a deal with thengovernor of New Jersey, Jim Florio, to build a new arena on the Camden waterfront. Those plans came to a halt when the new governor, Christine Todd Whitman, rejected the proposal. Negotiations between Katz and Snider started again. Both agreed to make the move to the CoreStates Center. In the CoreStates Spectrum, all three seating levels are for the general public. But in the new arena, there will be five levels, two for public seating and three for private seating. Other plans for the center include 30 concession stands on two separate levels and a restaurant area shielded by glass so patror..s can watch the action from their seats. The CoreStates Center premium seating will include two superbox sections, which will accommodate 84 patrons each; lO club box sections, which will accommodate 90 to 150 patrons; 26 balcony suites, with room for 12 patrons a piece; and 100 luxury suites, wilh 12 to 14 seats each. The CoreStates Center will have 3,000 more seats' than its neighboring arena and an additional 300,000 square feet. "The CoreStates Center is meant to be more fan-friendly, with more concessions, more restaurants, more everything ... " Zack Hill, media relations,. said.
