Bashwelcomes·Students'last back students

by Stacey Caiazzo assistant photography editor

The.re was no sun, sand or waves, but the Student Government Association still managed to have a successful "Welcome Back Bash.,, A beach party kicked-off Welcome Weekend on Friday, Sept. 8, which was held in the Widener Center Gathering Area.

Seniors Christina Feehan, Terri Carragher and Kim Forde, all ·members of the party committee, organized the event to welcome both new students as well as the upperclassmen back to the world of reality.

Food, games and prizes were just some of the things which were included in the price of admission.

"It was the best legal party that I have ever been to,,, senior Monica Scaramuzza said.

"Christina, Terri and Kim did a really great job.,, The cost of the event was $3 for Cabrini students under 21 and $4 for students over 21. . Senior Brant Sheldon, junior Justin Mirigliani, sophomore John Mack and first-year students Joseph Uff and John Coleman all participated in the buffalo-wing eating contest.

The object of the game was to see who could eat l O wings the fastest.

The winner of the contest was Sheldon, who won a free pass to the next party.

"I was glad to see that a lot of first-year students came to the party,,, senior Jen Paliaro said.

First-year student Kellie 0 'Neill said it gave her a chance to meet other people.

"This party was a lot different than the kind we used to have in high school, where people stayed with their own little clique,,, first-year student Colleen Roche said.

There were approximately 200 students who attended the beach party.

"I feel that the party was very successful due to the fact that we had a great turnout,,, Feehan said. "I think that everyone had

a good time whether they were drinking or not. We got through the night with relatively few problems.,, According to Feehan, equal amounts of students from each class attended the party.

SGA was very grateful to those students who participated in the event.

"This was one of the biggest and best legal parties we have had here at Cabrini in a long time,,,j uni or John Linsday, programming chair of campus activities and programming board, said. • When the music stopped and the party was over, everyone went home, but the next day was still another day of Welcome Weekend.

The fun continued into Saturday with a Welcome Back Bash.

This event was supposed to take place by the Peace Pole, but dQe to the weather, the event was moved to the cafeteria.

A band, Lost Boys, perfunned from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., playing a variety of music from artists such as Hootie & The Blowfish to Pearl Jam, as well as an original song.

"The Lost Boys had a really good sound,,, sophomore Paul Kleschick said. "It was cool to finally hear a good band on campus.,, There was also a place where students could get their pictures taken with friends.

Students also received printout sheets of different things that had taken place on the day they were born.

The weekend wrapped-up with a performance by Dan Horn, a ventriloquist, which took place on Sunday, Sept. 10, at 9 p.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall.

"The Welcome Weekend was a huge success,,, junior Andrea Kelliher, SGA president, said.

"This was the first weekend that t~e campus was full.

"I believe that the programming board did an outstanding job which was evident by the number of people at each event,,, Kelliher said.

Accidentoccurson campus

by Allyson Hannigan managing editor

A car carrying Cabrini students, along with off-campus guests, skidded down the main road, hit the curb on the left side of the road, and finally halted to a stop at the base of a tree at the Eagle Road entrance of Cabrini.

On the evening of Thursday, Sept. 7, Officer Marsha Hayes of public safety, was infonned of the accident by first-year student Amanda Seeds in the lobby of Woodcrest Hall.

According to the report, three males and two females were in the car at the time of the accident.

According to Seeds, the accident occurred after one of the males left house five after a fight occurred.

Seeds told Officer Hayes the car went over the speed bump at 45 mph and lost control.

However, according to the accident report, there is no indi-

cation that the speed bump was hit at 45 mph Otherwise, there would have been damage indicated at the speed bump and to the axle of the car. No paint marks were found on the car and no scuff marks were found on the speed bump.

According to the accident report, the accident occurred due to inappropriate manual operation of the vehicle.

The vehicle was operated at a speed in violation of the 15 mph speed limit.

The late-model red ford was traveling southbound on the main road when the operator lost control and hit the curb on the left side of the road, hopping to the left two feet then continued to skid down the road for an undetennined distance until the final collision at 21 mph.

The car initially had threepointsof-impact. The first was at 40 mph.

The car's second point-of-impact was at 30 mph, and the final impact

at 21 mph.

The speed was determined by the length and direction of the skid marks and the damage to the panel and frame of the car, as reported by public safety and Radnor Township Police Department.

As a result of the accident, three of the passengers were transported to an area hospital.

At that time, two of the passengers refused treatment.

The Radnor Township Police reported to the accident. Reporting officers were Keith Trorack, Michael Raymond and David Manly.

Radnor Fire Company's ambulance squad and Bryn Mawr Paramedics also reported to the scene of the accident.

Rich Kralle,director of public safety, was informed of the accident by Radnor Police.

Kralle then reported the accident to the resident director on duty.

Yeas and Nays

•

SGA's Welcome Weekend, complete with a legal party, a live band in the cafeteria, and a ventriloquist, among others, was an overall success.

Attendance at this year's fall convocation by seniors was at its worst. There were three times as many firstyear students present than seniors.

Loquitur is established as a forum for student expression and as a voice in the uninhibited, robust, free and open discussion of issues.

I had a difficult time deciding whether it was important for the students, faculty and staff of Cabrini College to know this information.

Even though this was technically my decision, who am I to decide whether or not to withhold the news?

Obviously the OC story was "news," and therefore, I had an obligation to inform my readers of the facts.

No one, not even a news editor, should have the right to decide on what the public knows, or does not know for that matter.

As I said before, I have a responsibility to inform the public to the best of my ability, and I take that responsibility very seriously even when it is difficult for me.

Just like former President Nixon and Arthur Ashe, orientation counselors at Cabrini College accepted a leadership role and therefore, take on a spot in the limelight.

I would be lying if I said it is easy to be a reporter, or that reporters and editors always give every single side of the story and every fact of every story that exists, no matter how small or large.

That would be impossible.

Many gray areas exist in journalism. There are many situations which call for a reporter to question his or her own ethics and morals.

I have accepted the job and all of the responsibilities that go along with the job. Though some things I write or print may not seem fair, I believe they are just.

The United States Constitution gave every American the right to freedom of speech and the freedom of press. I intend to protect that right. Without that right, where would we, as Americans, be?

Letter to the editor

Breaking :hersile.nce Kathy Malone, junior

EveryonehasheardabouttheOCs who were "canned in wake of alcohol scandal," but, for all the talk, there are really few who know what happened.

Until now, I have been hesitant to discuss this topic publicly. Those who know me well and respect me have stood by me, and I do not feel I have to justify myself or my actions to anyone else because, to quote Heidi J..,evine,"What happened involved us ..."

Indeed, I have not enjoyed being in the spotlight since July and had thought to let this unpleasantness settle. But I am unable to do that.

After reading the article in the Loquitur's first issue of the year, I was irate due to the stark absence of any story. The Sept. I article was n_ot a piece of journalism, but rather an excerpt from the college handbook accompanied by a blacklist! It is no wonder that only two out of six exOCs would comment. I, myself, did not feel comfortable with the idea of "my side of the story" being presented by a reporter who might not address the important questions.

What are these questions? Of course, you have no idea. But don't feel too bad-there are many people on this campus who are unaware of the other scandal associated with our being fired.

It was not until last Thursday, when the identities of my accusers were made known to me for the very first time, that I realized that half the story in print is far more damaging and dangerous than all of it. And so I have decided to address the important questions myself.

I have said that few know the whole story. Indeed, Heidi Levine certainly does not know it; nor does Kelly McDonald; nor even my three fellow OCs who brought these accusations to them. That is how six counselors came to be fired, not because of some damning evidence

(for there was none to speak ot), but on the basis of someone's word.

You might have .assumed that Levine or McDonald had walked in on some sort of drunken orgy, or that we six OCs had turned Xavier Hall into Animal House. But such is not the case. As a matter of fact, neither orientation director witnessed anything that would support the charges brought against us. There were no beer cans lying in the hallway of our quad (though if you looked now you'd be sure to spot some). We did not show up for duty in an intoxicated state. Ironic though it now seems, Levine actually complimented the staff at the end of that orientation on our energy and a great job.

So what Jed Levine and McDqnald to their course of action?

That's an awfully good questionafter all, one has a right to know why and how such charges are being brought against her. And yet, the two would reveal nothing more than that "someone" had told them w1: had been drinking. Given only this information, I was asked by McDonald to respond with "the honest truth" about whether I had or had not done so. I responded truthfully, though I was struck by the fact that, by withholding so many details from me, they had not given me" the honest truth."

In a United States court of law, one has the right to face her accusers and then the opportunity to defend herself, that is, refute the specifics of their accusations. Only if there exists sufficient evidence, if one can offer no suitable alibi, and if one's guilt can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, only then can one be punished.

I expect no less from Cabrini College than I do from my country. That is why I have a problem with the fact that my accusers remained anonymous while my name made the front page of the Loquitur.

If these three individuals feel righteous for taking their story to Levine, they should not be ashamed to make themselves known, to accuse me publicly. I have nothing to hide.

I admit that I drank at the second orientation.

I admitted this, though I need not

have-after all, there was no evidenceand accepted a "punishment" that does not seem to fit the crime. I take responsibility for my behavior on July 18, 1995-my accusers cannot say the same.

Having only recently learned that these accusers were actually my fellow OCs, I am still experiencing a renewed feeling of indignation.

Remember that only two counselors admitted to drinking at orientation. The other four attempted to refute the accusation but were fired anyway, withoutproof! What makes the word of one OC more credible than another?

Perhaps Levine and McDonald lost faith in the accused because of the very fact that his or her behavior was in question. If that is so, then I must remind everyone that as a society, we espouse a principle of"innocent until proven guilty," and not the other way around.

By now I hope that.I have shown you that this entire situation reeks of injustice. I will not deny that there was some sort of incident; however, thereisnoquestionthatitwashandled in the worst possible fashion.

I promised to tell you "my side of the story," so I will tell you this: Those who did, indeed, drink at the second orientation, did so in the wee hours of the night in privacy. Those individuals were all OCs and at no time was alcohol given to any freshman. Those counselors did not fail in their duties in any way, but actually helped pull off one of the most successful orientations ever, with compliments from Levine herself.

Some of those who were fired are guilty, but not all. And it is a fact that of the counselors who remain on the staff, there are more than a fewincluding one of the righteous i.nformers-who were in some way involved in this "scandal"but, for some unknown reason, were not implicated by the trio of accusers.

If these firings were an attempt to purge the "bad seeds" out of the orientation staff, Levine and McDonald failed miserably.

In the end, talented and dedicated individuals were lost and an ugly spirit of sneakiness and covering one's own ass remain.

Dear Editors, I am greatly disturbed by the way in which the "OC Alcohol Scandal" has been handled by the college. I do not feel the students involved are being made to realize the seriousness of their actions.

Evidence of this can be seen in the attitude of the student whose letter you published in the Sept. 8 issue. Her effort to deflect the attention of the reason back upon the editors angered me. Regardless of how your team covered the story, she and her friends were still in the wrong. I feel that all involved should be prohibited from participating in any school-sponsored leadership role such as SGA. I pay over $16,000 a year to attend Cabrini College. This facilitates a tremendous sacrifice for both myself and my family. The primary reason my family and many other families are willing to make such a sacrifice is due to the outstanding reputation this school possesses. It sickens me to think that these students, whom we trusted as leaders, could be careless, and selfishly jeopardize the reputation of our college over something as foolish as a night of drinking.

• There is no excuse for such actions. Not only have you disgraced my school, but if you had any class at all, you would each come forward and sincerely apologize for your actions. I know, however, that this is way too much to ask of you all. If this letter receives any response at all, and if past experience is any indicator of your attitudes, it will probably be m regard to my grammar or some other personal attack upon my character.

You all need to think about what you've done to our school.

Packwood resigris

by Laura Testa news editor

Senator Bob Packwood (R., Ore.) gave a tearful farewell speech as he announced his resignation from the Senate on Friday, Sept. 8.

The announcement came after a recommendation from the Senate ethics committee that Packwood be expelled from the Senate.

"I'm aware of the dishonor that has befallen me in the last three years, and I don't want to visit further dishonor on the Senate ... I think too much of my colleagues for that," Packwood said through tears during his speech.

Packwood, a member of the Senate for almost 27 years, has been found guilty, by the committee, of sexual misconduct, using his position to benefit himself financially, and obstructing an investigation by altering his diaries and audio tapes before turning them over to the committee and his own lawyers.

"No workplace in America ought to tolerate the kind of offensive and degrading sexual misconduct that the committee finds Sen. Packwood guilty of," Sen. Mitch McConnell said.

After the vote, the ethics committee released a written statement that said Packwood's sexual misconduct had brought "discredit and dishonor upon the Se11ate."

The committee also said that Packwood tried to v. ithhold, destroy, and alter relevant evidence in an ef-

fort to obstruct the panel's investigation. The committee called this "a crime against the Senate."

"His conduct is a systematic abuse of women, power and this (the Senate) institution," Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, a member of the ethics committee, said.

During a news conference after the committee's announcement, Packwood denied the charges of sexual misconduct.

He denied that he had ever done any favors for lobbyists and maintained that he had never given the committee copies of altered dairies.

"There was no intent to mislead," Packwood said, "and no one was mislead."

Despite the investigation that lasted for almost three years, Packwood managed to stay in control of the powerful Senate finance committe, while collecting contributions to his legal defense fund from groups and individuals who have business before congress.

If Packwood had not resigned, and was eventually expelled from the Senate, he would have been the first Senator expelled since before the Civil War. Plus, he would have lost his congressional pension, federal health benefits and other privileges normally issued to former senators.

Packwood said he talked with Senate majority leader Bob Dole after the ethics-committee vote, and Dole had not urged or asked him to resign.

Campus leaks gas

by Nina Marie Sciarrotta features editor

A gas main was crushed on Tuesday, Sept. 12, causing a gas leak. Houses four and five were evacuated by pubUc safety and the Radnor Fire Company, in order to prevent possible harm to students. PECO workers rushed to the scene to evaluateboththedamageandthepossibledanger.

According to Michael Caranfa, director of physical plant, the break in the pipe occurred when a construction worker involved on the Residential Boulevard project drove a bulldoz.er over the ground above the gas main.

Thepipe,anoldmainwhichsuppUesgastothe mansion and chemistry lab, was notable to handle the stress.

PECO energy technician Joe Daly evaluated the damage and the circumstances.

According to Daly, PECO will determine if anything was improperly handled which resulted in the damaged pipe.

According to Caranfa, the main was scheduled for abandonmentnext swnmer, whenPEC0 would be installing a brand-new gas main.

The new main wouldenable the mansion to be converted from oil to gas heat Caranfa said the school has been working on the project for two years and the abandonment was the reason for postponing the renovations to house five.

The new pipe would go underneath the proposed renovation and, according to Caranfa, it would be much easier to add the new pipe prior to building the addition.

PECO engineers detennined there was no danger and students were permitted to retwn to their houses.

Can the museum attract the 9,000 daily visitors it needs in order to survive?

After two privileged days of private previews and a 7-1 /2 hour concert by famous rock icons such as Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, Melissa Etheridge, Aretha Franklin, Chrissie Hynde, Iggy Pop and Bruce Springsteen, the $92-million building opened, making Cleveland the rock and roll capital of the world. Rumors of surprise appearances

by Michael Jackson and Ma-

donna proved false.

Some critics believe the likes of Generation X are being ignored.

Since a quarter-century must have passed since Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artists made their first records, young adults anywhere from 16 to 24 years of age may not be too familiar with the oldies but goodies.

For example, the museum's fir.st

s e t of exhibits emphasizes r~ots music. A visitor will find exhibits dedicated to early blues, R&B and

gospel, as well as the influential styles of Memphis rockabilly, New Orleans rhythm and blues, San Francisco psychedelia, and New York and London punk.

The influences of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, pop icons for Generation X, certainly

Fall festival celebrates heritage

by Ediely Espinola staff writer

With the coming of the new fall season, the autumn festivities arrive with the opening of the Native American Arts Festival on Saturday, Sept. 16.

Students and children pay a small fee of $5 and all other admissions are $8 per person.

Dr. Nancy Rush, the chairperson for this event, promises a day filled with activities and cultural enrichment provided by the Native Americans.

Sponsored by Sigma Rho and benefiting the South East Cherokee Scholarship Fund, it is aimed at getting to know and experience the richness and beauty of the Native Americans.

Located at the lower end of the soccer field and beginning at 11 :30 a.m., many activities will take place to entertain everyone of all ages.

Tribal dancing will be a special treat for those who· enjoy watching authentic Native American dancing from Pow Wow performers.

Tribal dancing is special because of the blessing of the ground which takes place before the performance to mark the sacred grounds.

Exhibits ranging from pottery, beads, dresses and face paintings will be displayed and sold by vendors.

"So much detail and dedication goes into their crafts

and artwork," Rush said, who is excited about this event.

Besides getting an overview of authentic Native American craftsmanship, everyone will be able to taste many culinary delights such as Indian tacos, corn soup and fry bread.

Other main attractions as well as special guests will be the building and exhibitions of teepees and bows and arrows. Clint Chartier will demonstrate horse painting while Cochise Anderson will lead the tribal dancing and story telling.

Laughing Water Big Mountain will share his artistic skills as he demonst~ates authentic face painting for children.

"But besides getting an overview of the Native American culture," Rush said, " I am most interested in getting across the richness and beauty of the Native American culture. It is also a fun way to kick off the year and have a great time."

Information is according !o the Philadelphia Inquirer

by Mirella Addesi staff writer

As a part of the core curriculum, all first-year students are now required to take a course in religious studies.

Prior to this decision made by the faculty and board of trustees, all students had the option of taking a religion course to fulfill a distribution.

Upperclassmen are not affected by this new rule.

In addition to the three credits in religious studies, first-year students may also take courses in religion to fulfill a distribution.

However, one course in religious studies may not count for both core and distribution.

"The reason that the faculty recommended and ultimately approved of the new requirement, was that they felt as an institution that has roots in the rel igious tradition, that it would make sense for our students to take a course in religious studies," Dr. Tho1!1asBoeke, provost and academic dean, said.

"It has to do with the changes in the Catholic Church," Dr. Leonard Primiano, assistant professor of religion, said. "The institutional Church, for whatever reasons, feels that they want to see a specific reference to religion in the course requirements.

And that is why it was decided that it would be a good idea to require that each student now take a course in religious studies."

In a study conducted last fall by Primiano of many leading Catholic colleges and universities across the United States, Cabrini College was one of the only Catholic colleges in the United States that did not require religion as part of the core.

"I believe that the faculty felt that the core courses contained the values and ideas which upheld the Christian and Roman Catholic tradition and that to have a specific course in religion wasn't necessary because of the way the core was originally constructed in the late '80s and early '90s. It seemed repetitive to require the course," Primiano said.

Boeke agreed with Primiano's reasoning.

"My understanding is that some of the values that students would learn in these courses might also have been learned in other courses," Boeke said.

Though this decision adds three more credits to the oore curriculum, it does not affect the number of hours that are required to graduate. Rather, it takes away from the electives that are available, meaning that one less elective may be taken.

"Not too many first-year students have registered for a religion course," Karen Karlsen, administrative assistant to the registrar, said. "It is not encouraged in the first semester."

"My orientation counselors told me not to bother taking it yet," first-year student Tricia Moore said. "They told me to wait until a later time."

"Personally, I don't th ink that students should take a course in religious studies in their first year." Primiano said.

According to Primiano, this is because many of the students attending Cabrini are from Catholic high schools.

Primiano believes Catholic school students are used to a specific type of setting in religion which is different than the type of setting taught in college "I think it is better to be more mature when taking a ,·eligion course," Primiano said. "You enjoy it more and will get more out of it."

'-'It is not that Cabrini College seeks to teach you to adopt any particular religion," Boeke said. "This is an academic exercise."

According to Boeke, these religious requirements are academic courses rooted in scholarship and not spirituality.

"I think that this is a sound decision," Boeke said. "It makes sense for a college such as this."

"Given the contemporary situation in the Catholic Church today, I think it is a good idea," Primiano said. "I do not think it hurts."

This new rule does not pose much of a change because statistics from the registrar show that over 90 percent of students take a religion course anyway at some point during their college careers.

Localchannelsmake.a switch

by Laura Testa news editor

The big switch has been made.

KYW (Channel 3) and WCAU (Channel I 0) have swapped networks.

KYW h~s joined with CBS, and WCAU has joined with NBC. But it is much too simple to say that everything that was on one channel is now on the other.

Major television stations get programs from an affiliated network and from three other sources.

The first source is the stations themselves.

In this case, Channel 3 and Channel 10. The stations make mostly local news shows.

Secondly, the stations- buy other programs. Most of these shows are syndicated and primarily talk or tab-

loid shows. This includes "Montel Williams" and "Geraldo."

Finally, there are the programs the channel receives from the network.

These shows include all prime time, most daytime and late-night shows.

The network changes took effect Sunday, Sept. 10 at 1:01 a.m.

Channel 3 remained KYW-TV. It is still owned by a corporation called Group W. Channel 3 is still the same.

The offices are the same and even the familiar faces like Larry Kane have not changed. But it went from being an NBC affiliate to a CBS affiliate.

The new slogan is "CBS on KYW Channel 3." Now shows like "Murphy Brown," "The Young and The Restless," and "The Late Show With David Letterman" will appear on Channel 3.

At the very same time, Channel 10

became an NBC affiliate. "Mad About You," "Days of Our Lives," "Friends" and "The Late Show" will appear on Channel 10.

Football fans can now catch their fa-. vorite AFC teams on NBC 10.

Channel IO has a new owner and new management.

It is possible to see some new faces in the company.

As far as the on-air employees, they will remain the same for the present time.

The new slogan for Channel 10 is "NJ3C on Channel 10 ... Pass it On." As if the network swap was not enough, the stations themselves will also be changing around some of the shows, which they either make or buy.

For example, "Monte] Williams," which used to be bought by Channel 3

will now be bought by Channel 10.

This means that Monte) fans can watch him on Channel 10 this fall.

Many of the programs on both of the channels will be skipping around.

Plus, both channels have plans to add shows to the line-ups.

With this in mind, both channels have set up 1-800 numbers to help alleviate problems.

The numbers are 1-800-KYW-isCBS and 1-800-NBC-TEN. On both hot lines, operators promise to help viewers locate their favorite shows.

Both Channel 3 and Channel 10 have received many calls from confused viewers. Both channels urge callers to keep trying. Operators promise to handle all calls as quickly as possible.

Out of Lady Cavs rely on strong defense and open season with a tie bounds

by Stephanie Sarosky staff writer

by Justin Mirigliani and Stephanie Caldwell co-sports editors

Stop and think. Think about what it would be like to play your favorite sport and get paid millionsof dollarsfor it. You mightbethinkingthatthisisanotheroneof rhosewrite-upsaboutathleteswhogetpaid too much. Well, you are right.

But I will offer a littletwist to this over analyzed topic.

It is amazing that a pro athlete, especially in the four major sports, gets p~d more than such people as: surgeons, the President of the United States and astronauts.

The Eagles' offer sheet for running back Ricky Waters was worth a reported $6.9 million. Before playing a singleNHL game, Eric Lindros was making over $3 million a year.

Are these players worth that much money? Personally, I feel that no one is worth that much money. But let's look at facts. Ifanownertakesastandanddecides not to pay for big-named athletes,the fans tum on him like a rabid pit-bull.

On the other hand, if the same owner pays out the big bucks, the fans complain that he is feeding the money problem in sports. Having the talent to be a professional athlete is rare.1berefore, a player with the talent of a Barry Bonds can demand the kind of moneyhe isgetting. Ifthe Giants decide they do not want to pay Bonds, where are they going to find another player of the same caliber for less money. I have the answer, they won't.

The days of playing for the love of the game are almostover. Hockey is the lastof the four major sports that money has not totally corrupted. Unfortunatelywith the influx of new TV re.venue,hockey too will be played for the almighty dollar.

When Ryan Sandberg retired last season, he knew he was givingup in upwards of$7 milliona year. He retiredbecausehe did not have the same burningdesire to put on the spikes as he once did. Hats off to Sandberg.He is a throwback,butnonetheleAs,a classy individual.

I have seen and followeda lot of sports, for being on this earth for only 20 years. I remember sitting on the couch with my family,inourSouthPhiladelphiarowhome, watching the Phillies battle it out with the Baltimore Orioles in the 1983 World Series.

Iremembersittingatmycousins'house, with the entire family huddled around the TV, counting down as the Ayers tookthe mightyEdmonton Oilersto game seven of the 1987 Stanley Cup finals.

Sports are more than what is on the field1 Watching players push themselves to the limitforthe sake of winningcan give goose bumps to the least of fans.

Because of money, the days of goose bumps and adrenalinerushes while watching a game could be over for me. It wo~d take a miracle to get those days back. But asAlMichaels oncesaid,"Doyoubelieve in miracles?"

Yes.

On Tuesday, Sept. 5, the women's soccer team kicked off the season with a scrimmage game against St. Joseph's University.

Junior Amy Hummel assisted on junior Nancy Kraus's only goal for the Cavs. Finishing with a score of 1-1, the Lady Cavs broke even against their opponents.

Starting the season off by tying against a Division I team, the Lady Cavs show great potential for a successful season.

The team· is being lead by captains, juniors Stephanie Caldwell and Kraus.

These women are both strong players and are very familiar with the game.

They will serve as a strong backbone for the team players to follow and to learn . from.

However, Caldwell will give support only from the sidelines.

She was injured in practice and is out indefinitely with a fractured ankle.

Two transfer students, juniors Kelli Williams and Marisa Kane are both new players on the team. These women demonstrate talent which will greatly benefit the team.

Williams and Kane both play defense.

According to goalie junior Mandi Hopta, Williams and Kane provide stability to an already strong defense.

The Lady Cavs. are well-equipped with a solid offense as well as a powerful defense.

Kraus and senior Dana Mills lead the Lady Cavs up front.

Mills is a walk-on player for this new season. She plays the forward position on the team. With her exceptional playing talent, Mills shows signs for a great year.

"Mills possesses leadership and skills needed to play on a championship team," Hopta said.

"My major concern was starting the season off with so many injuries," Coach Dianne Griffin - Pierangeli said.

Many players were absent from the scrimmage game due to minor injuries.

Having to compensate for missing players put a strain on the team.

Along with many benched players, playing on an artificial-turf field was another issue that the players had to deal with. Playing on the flat surface of a turf field, causes the ball to roll faster.

This quickens the pace of the game.

The Lady Cavs found no problem 1n performing, regardless of these challenges The team is entering this season with a positive attitude.

They have much confidence about the talent of their players.

According to Pierangeli, they possess both a strong defense and offense.

Hummel will be called upon to play where the team needs her most.

"The team will be depending on Hummel for her versatile playing talents on the field," Pierangeli said. "She will be depended upon for playing both offense and defense."

"I feel very safe with the solid defense of the team protecting me," Hopta said.

Sweeper, sophomore Michele

McGowan, will anchor the defense in front of Hopta.

Sophomo"res Cara Santelli, playing the stopper position and Becky Ward, playing fullback complete the fe;red defense for the Lady Cavs.

The Lady Cavs finished last year by winning the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference in only their first year as a team.

They are looking forward to another successful season and, perhaps, another championship.

"With a strong defense and a tenacious offense, our hearts are set on going back-to-back this year," junior Denise Canaris said.

With the mix of older players and new players another title is possible.

Phillies depend on the wild-card race for playoff birth this season

by Adam Todd staff writer

In a year when baseball can use all of the positive publicity it can get, fans are stuck with pennant races that seem to be already decided.

With no pennant races to follow, fans are forced to focus instead on incidents such as players pushing fans or using obscene gestures to express their anger at fans. Baseball's one saving grace this year is the wild-card race.

The Philadelphia Phillies are right in the hunt for this year's inaugural wildcard spot.

This is the first year the wild-card has been used in baseball and has added a lot of excitement to the game when it is needed most in this post-strike era.

While the Phillies' hope for the National League East Pennant is all but gone, their chase for the lone wild-card spot in the National League is on.

After the abysmal month of July and early month of August, the Phillies seem to have turned things around and are

Cavs set two goalsfor seasonahead; PAC championshipand NCAA bid

by Justin Mirig/iani co-sports editor

The Cabrini men's soccer team is starting this new season dreaming of a third straight Pennsylvania Athletic Conference championship.

But the dream does not stop there.

They are also trying for a bid in the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament.

As with most championship teams, the question is al ways, can they do it again?

The Cabrini team answered that question with an empathic yes last year.

There overall record was 15-6 and they were undefeated in the PAC. Now this year the question is, can they three-peat?

"It was a Jot tougher to repeat," junior Joe Morris said. "We should do real well. We hope to three-peat in the PAC. Hopefully we will get an NCAA bid.

That is our main focus."

In sports, a championship team has to continue to get better in order to keep up with the rest of the other teams in the league. The soccer team has a Strong blend of key players from last year, along with some new recruits.

"We had a really good recruiting year this year," senior Bill Bono said. "There will be a Jot of competition for positions this year. We all have to work hard."

Some of the key players coming back this year are sophomores Paul Hollinger,

Anthony Noel and Dan Meder and juniors Jeff Winters and John Volpe.

If there is one thing that stands out as a strength for the team, it is its defensive play.

"Our defense is probably the best in the area. I think Winters, Volpe and Hollinger could aJJ play Division I," Morris said.

"Our defense and our goalie Anthony Noe_]are our biggest strength. We have so much more depth this year," Bono said.

"We are really a deep team this year," Winters said. "There is not a real separation from the worst guy to the best.

Our strength is our defense. We have a really great defense."

As with the women's team, one is hard pressed to find a weakness on the men's team.

"I really don't see many weaknesses," Bono said.

"A weakness probably is our overall speed and scoring," Morris said. "Our defense is what keeps us in games. With the loss of Mike Timms, it will be hard to compensate for his scoring. He scored 17 goals last year."

Winters commented on a team weakness.

"We have a lot of inexperienced firstyear players on our team," Winters said.

A strong coach is usually a major key on a winning team. Duncan Hubley is the head coach o(the men's team.

"As a team we all get along with

Duncan," Morris said. "He is a team coach. Whatever you need he is willing to help you with."

"Everyone gets along with him. I like him," Winters said.

"He is very blunt with you," Bono said. "He doesn't hide things. He is very up front. He has a good relationship with his players."

The players know what they have to do to continue to build on their past success.

•"I know we will win our division," Bono said. "We were undefeated in the PAC for the last two years. I don't see the tournament as that far out of reach."

Last year the team was sixth in the region, which was its highest finish ever.

The team will have to finish in the top four in the region to make the tournament.

"My goals are to score a lot of goals, and for our team to win the PAC and make the tournament," Winters said.

"Hopefully we will _come together and play well enough to make the tournament."

"I think anything is possible," Morris said. "Set your goals high. I think we have a real good chance to make the tournament. We have to play as a team.

We have to come out focused."

At the Scranton tournament, the team lost to Wilkes University, from WilkesBarre, Pa., 4-3 in overtime. With Volpe out of the game with his second yellow card, Wilkes scored on its retaken free

kick. Wilkes scored in overtime on yet another free kick to win the game.

Three players were out, due to a spinal meningitis scare, but the team played a good game and defeated a tough Scranton team 1-0.

The team did not play as well against Baptist Bible but still held on to win I 0.

Track and crosscountryteams running to reach personalgoalsfor '95-'96

by Paul Monte staff writer

It appears as if the hopes and goals of the 1995-96 Cabrini cross country and track teams are as rich as the blue, white and black colors of their new uniforms.

"I'm hoping for an open bid in the 110-meter hurdles in Nationals and the triple jump," team captain and MVP sophomore James Williams, said. Williams came off a strong '94- '95 season by setting numerous school records in the hundred meters, triple jump and four- byone relay.

This year's men's team sees the return of sophomores Williams, Far'd Nasir, John Mack and senfor Shawn McAleer.

This year's recruits include first-year students John Addesso, Chad Meekins and All-City Champion John Coleman.

First-year students James Folsom, Dave Rhodes, Bill Gibson, Justin Falciana, Maurice Blassingame and distance-runner Joe Uff are among the squad's walkons.

Uff mentioned his desire to become captain of the cross country team. In addition to hoping to become the top runner, Uff said he would like to break the two-minute mark in the half mile, as well as to improve his outdoor times.

"Our team goal is to win the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference championship," Mack said. "Anything Jess than that is not enough."

In addition to looking forward to cham-

pionship meets, Mack said he hopes to improve his times in order to become a key part of the team.

In addition to his personal goal of making the Penn Relays in the four-by-four relay, McAleer sees one of his team's goals as also making the relays in the fourby-one and four-by-four relay races.

The women's squad is heated by seniors Heather Teti, Elizabeth Lang and Michele Olsen, junior Kristen Vento, and sophomores Heather Odium and Nicole Volikas, "I would like to qualify for the NCAA Nationals in November," Olsen said.

"It's on a pretty flat course (the National qualifier) so if I get my time down, I should do pretty well. I would have to run under 19 minutes to do that, and right now I'm at the 20 to 21 minute range."

The male squad is coming off a thirdplace showing at the Philadelphia Metropolitan Championships, despite the fact that they only used four runners.

According to Williams, the squad is on a three-year quest of achieving strong finishes in Nationals. This year's tournament site is yet to be determined. Due to heavy recruiting, the team hopes to begin the task of winning the Nationals by placing strong this year with the end result of winning the tournament in 1998.

"Our whole goal is winning/' Williams said. "It's not how you run the race, it's whether you win or lose." In '95 the team

would also like to take its four-by-one to politan and the Cabrini Invitational.

The Cabrini teams are governed by the four-by-eight race teams as well as its sprint medley and distance medley teams coaching· veteran, Tom O'Hara, who is entering his 14th season. to the Penn Relays.
