A woman of the '80s KathyS. C,ephas, perspectives editor In a world filled with Power Rangers, Disney cartoons, Mortal Kombat and Super Mario Brot~ers 10,000,012, I long for the days of Hungry, Hungry Hippos, Don't Tip the Waiter and Sit-in-Spin. Yes, I have a fetish for anything from the late '70s to the '80s. Usually when someone • thinks of the decade that just was, visions of bad hair, friendship bracelets and jelly shoes scream nightmarishly back at them. Call me crazy, but I long for the days of Atari and Coleco Vision with their cheesy graphics and I do know the names of the original 5 VJs on MTV( Is that scary or what?). I spent countless hours, as a kid, staring through my View Master 3D machine, while my father would trip on leftover Lite Brite pegs thatlittered the floor of my room. I remember popping that annoying plastic bubble on the Trouble game in grade school with my friends, so much that our teacher would hide the game until recess. Do you kids remember the entity that was PlayDoh? It smelled horribly, butthink of all the fun things that you could do with it. Remember when PlayDoh had a McDonald's restaurant package. You could make your own hamburgers and fries. All of that free time, down the drain. Games like Operation, Connect Four, Perfection and Candy Land always started fights amongst the girls on the playground. Guys, how many countless hours did you spend playing with Go Bots, G.l.Joe and Wrestlemania wrestling figures? I know you don't want to admit it now, do you? But the ultimate game of them all was D&D-Dungeons and Dragons. Ladies, do you remember Fashion Plates, Pretty Cut and Grow, Jem and the Holograms, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony? Of course you do, because if you grew up in '80s, these were the toys that ruled the roost at the playground. I get a little wann in my heart whenever I remember playing with my Donny and Marie Osmond Colorfonns. I also recall hating the fact that our oven did not have a view slot, so I could see my Shrinky Dinks shrink "right before my eyes." Some of us that were more creative than I was had hours of fun with SpryoDoodle and EtchA-Sketch (yes I could only make the stairs). Some toys were just pure unadulterated genius. The Snoopy Snow Cone Machine is just one example. "You put an ice cube in and get a snow cone out. Yum yam fun is what it's all about." But the best toys of them all, for girls, was the Betty Crocker Make and Bake Oven. Who would have thought of making cakes and brownies and otherunmentionables out of cheap mix, and to cook it with a light bulb. Genius. Even better than the toys were the cartoons. "Thundercats," "Josie and the Pussycats," "H.R. Pufnstuf," "Banana Splits," "HeMan/She-Ra," "Transformers," "Hong Kong Phooey," "Clue Club" and "Schoolhouse Rock." But the king was the immortal "Scooby-Doo." Although the show tried to redeem itself with Scrappy-Doo and Scooby-Dum, I still s)ludder to think that the voice of Shaggy was (gulp) Casey Kasem. Scary, I know. And we all know that "Fred" and "Daphne" were getting it on . in the "Mystery Machine." Remember all of the great guest stars that would come on like The Addams Family, the Harlem Globetrotters and Sonny and Cher. Who could forget "Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock" with such memorable characters like Uncle Traveling Matt, the Doozers and the Trash Heap, with her famous battle cry of "Ooh, the Trash Heap has spoken." I even liked to watch the "ATeam." Now, "I pity the fool" who thinks that the Mighty Morphin Power Jokes have anything on that. But maybe even just a bit better than the cartoons was the prime-time lineup. "Battlestar Gallactica," "Buck Rogers and the 25th Century" and "Punky Brewster." Soliel Moon Frye was on "Saved by the Bell" a few years ago. Is that sick or what? Remember when Ricky Schroder from "Silver Spoons" was the bee's knees? But even scarier than that is the fact that Janet Jackson was Charlene, Willis' girlfriend from "Diff'rent Strokes." And thentherewere t11e.--,.,_.,. _ _,.__ I am not talking about "E. T." or "Ghostbusters"or even classic teen angst flicks that ev:eryone can quote like "The Breakfast Club," "Fast times at Ridgemont High" and "Sixteen Candles." I am talking about pure cinematic moments. Movies like "Better off Dead," "One Crazy Summer'' and "Strange Brew" that encourages you to "take off to the great white North." "Weird Science," "How I Got Into College" and "Say Anything" are just a few examples of how much free time I had on my hands as an adolescent. These were just a few strolls down a memory lane that while some of us would like to forget, I will always remember. Cl

Friday, Sept. 22, 1995 PERSPECTIVES
Wendy Wilke, senior Why would a "thirty-something" want to live 't'ith "twentysometh ings," on campus at Cabrini College? Great question. The answer is convenience and future economic survival. Two-and-a-quarter years ago, (June 1993), I left midwest America as an emotionally abused housewife. Having been in a tumultuous 7-1/2 year marriage, I had to run for my life. I was dying emotionally and going downhill physically. My family lives in the Pottstown area and luckily, my widowed, septuagenarian grandmother had a spare room, and an open heart. I worked at CVS Pharmacy part time until the holidays, when I worked at both CVS and Hess's department store from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. After an eleven-year absence from attending college, I chose to take it slow at the beginning. I registered for classes at Montgomery County Community College (MQNTCQ). Since I don't drive, nor do I possess a license, the transportation of choice was SEPTA. For one class, every day, I traveled on the SEPTA bus, with a transfer in Morristown for a round-trip commute of three hours. I had a history of agoraphobia. For you non-Psych majors, this means for a little over a year in 1985, I wouldn't leave my home. Irrational fears kept me a prisoner. I bought a Sony walkman for my trip to MQNTCQ. It occupied my mind and made the journey easier. There were new friends to meet too. Many were single parents with small children bettering themselves for themselves, just like me. Since I don't have children, I didn't know the added pressures of their lives intimately. I was pleased with my progress at the end of the semester. It was time to take a bigger jump, borrow the money to finance it, and attend classes on a full-time basis for my bachelor's Laurie Turns worked quickly and efficiently to enroll me for the spring '95 semester. Cathy Caulfield and Laura Irwin also hurried to give me the opportunity to experience resident life. It was a necessity more than a luxury. Commuting everyday, with a full load of classes, and working would have worn me down. I also have a fulfilling workstudy position in the adult and continuing education office. If I commuted, I would not have the chance to have so many new and rewarding experiences both in a:ndout of the office. Resident life has become enjoyable. I live with a terrific bunch of young men and women in the academic house. It's going to be a great senior year for me. We will have terrific projects coming up. As long as we can keep the communication open and strive together for common goals and understanding, I hope we will be productive and have long-lasting friendship. Since I am now divorced, since May, I have had the summer to deal with the loss and do some introspection of myself. I am excited about my life at Cabrini. I have a great schedule and a the

IOpinion Takinga riskto make a difference
The school forbids drinking by underage students as does the law. If people want to complain about a "fair trial" as the law would have provided, than they should at least be of age. The real issue is that an QC is a representative of the student body to incoming students Underage drinking, in a dry dorm, whether you are caught or not, is not the expected behavior of a "campus leader." Many students on campus drink, though it is prohibited, but are mature enough to accept the consequences, be it a fine or the loss of a position. These students need to accept what they did as wrong, learn from the experience, and move on. The campus community is tired of hearing about it. Be happy that you may still hold other leadership positions on Cabrini College's campus, though some do not understand why. Signed, A Former QC After New Year's I stayed on with Hess's full time.

Dear editors: I am writing in response to the opinion of Kathy Malone, printed in a previous issue of Loquitur. It is about time that those who have lost their QC positions face up to it. Stop complaining and wasting Loquitur's paper with issues concerning a situation that was taken care of in the only suitable matter. There are many important topics that the paper should be printing rather than the opinion of students who cannot accept the consequences for breaking the rules.

New van service drivesstudents by Jim Martin staff writer
4 NEWS photo by Stacey Gaiazzo One of the new vans provided by Krapf takes students to their college-provided apartments at Kingswood.
Students who rely on Cabrini for transportation received a major surprise this year when they discovered that Cabrini was no longer running and operating the van service. Cabrini hired the Krapf transportation company to be in charge of transporting students to and from campus. Although the new service has been expanded over last year, the start-up has not been without bumps. Krapf is a local company that has been involved in transporting Villanova students for the past two years. Eastern College was also interested in using the Krapf transport!ltion service, so a joint agreement was reached between Cabrini, Eastern and Krapf. Cabrini is relying on Krapf for all of its transportation while Eastern is only using Krapf for transporting their students who live on the Rosemont College campus. Vice president for student development Dr. Robert Bonfiglio is in charge of the new van service. The change to Krapf occurred, "because the vans used last year were not big enough to accommodate all the students who rely on Cabrini for transportation," Bonfiglio said. Specifically, he mentioned the large number of students living at the Kingswood apartments. He also added that most of the students were not happy with the van service last year. Bonfiglio said the new van service is an improvement over last year's service but is costing the school a lot more money to operate. "The buses are bigger," Bonfiglio said. "There are more runs on campus, the driver is a professional, and the van is equipped with a cellular phone in case of emergencies."
Perhaps the biggest improvement over last year is Cabrini is now providing service to students who take classes at Eastern, Rosemont and Villanova, whereas last year students were left to get to those schools on their own. As can be expected when changing over to a new van service, there have been some problems. Bonfiglio has received many complaints from students and is working with Krapf in trying to fix these problems. "Most of the complaints have come from students who use the train and trolley," Bonfiglio said, "because it's been difficult to synchronize the trolley, train and van services along with the trips to the other campuses." According to Gary Krapf, vice president of the transit division for Krapf, some of the problems with the van service can be directed at Cabrini. Cabrini waited until a few days before the school year started to finalize the service with Krapf. Krapf said the company did not have enough time to look into all the trolley, train and bus schedules. According to Krapf, things could have gone smoother if there had been more time to make plans. This lack of time to prepare resulted in the many problems that took place between the students and the van service.
Friday, Sept. 22, 1995
Bonfiglio said negotiations with other colleges prevented the final agreement from happening until the last moment. First-year student Jamie Galasso takes the train from Overbrook to Radnor, where Krapf picks her up and takes her to class. She experienced some problems with the service during the second week of classes. "The trains usually run at least five minutes late and on two occasions the vans left without me, and because of it I missed two classes," Galasso said. However, Galasso added that she had spoken with Bonfiglio about her problems and she said she felt the service had gotten better in the past week. Senior Daniel Scheulov lives in the Kingswood apartments and is another student who is unhappy with the Krapf van service. He said there has been too much confusion about the van service and because of it, he had already missed one class. Scheulov also said he felt the van service was better last year. Bonfiglio admitted that there have been a lot of problems ~ith the van se.rvice but added. that he has been on the phone regularly with Krapf trying to work all the students' problems out. Krapf said that everything will soon work out. "It's going to take some time to get everything together," Gary Krapf said. "But by Sept. 18 I think all the necessary changes will have been made and everything will be running smoothly."
The d;ivers of the overturned Bulldog Mac Triaxel await help from a rental crane company which arrived three hours after the accident occurred. The truck overturned when the ground gave out.
According to Ronca, the truck was parked about four to five feet away from the ditch. The ground gave out and the truck fell over. "It could have been on a soft spot or a sink hole," Ronca said. "We are very fortunate that no one got hurt," foreman Egidio Mestichelli said.

Truck overturns on campus by Mirella Addes/ staff writer A Bulldog Mac Triaxle truck tipped and rolled over into a ditch outside of house five on Thursday, Sept.14. Regardless of the outlook, the accident was not as serious as it seemed and no one was hurt. The driver, Ron Ronca, was in the truck loading it when the vehicle began to tip over. "It was real slow and rolled real easy," Ronca said. "It wasn't bad. Oneffl1ritft was in my scat and then I ended up sitting on the inside roof."
C & R Contractors, the company on the job, rented the truck from another individual. They were laying drainage pipes and using the truck to load up dirt for the ditch. One more load into the truck and Ronca'sworkwould have been completed. The truck landed on two pipes, denting and destroying them. According to those on the job, the accident caused the loss of one or two days worth of work. Those affected by the expenses of the accident are the contractor and the truck owner's insurance company. "It is a companyproblem," Ronca said. "All things considered, it is not serious,just a loss of material. Luckily, no one was down there and no one was hurt.''. Ronca suffered a sore head, knee and elbow, but no serious injuries. "Years ago, the pipes were made of concrete,-Rortcasaid. are made of corrugated steel and are not that strong. If they were concrete or not even there, the cab would have been crushed and I would not be here now." About an hour and a half after the accident occurred, security arrived on the scene. Everyone involved was very patient while waiting for the crane to arrive and remove the vehicle. C&R Contractors called for a rental crane tocomeandremovethevehicle. The 20-ton crane arrived approximately three hours after the accident. "It looked like they were playing with giant Tonka trucks," sophomore Dennis Fohner said. According to Fohner, it took the crane about 40 minutes to remove the truck from the ditch.

Cabrini student sets to release CD by Phyllis Cohen staff writer Cabrini's piano man lives on. In what has become a tradition at the Red Ooud Coffee House, junior Paul Marturano played his repertoire of original songs and cover tunes Sunday nigh~ September 17. The ooncert also doubled as a promotion for Marturano's premiere CD, "How Many Days" which is scheduledto be out by the end of the year. The near standing-room-only crowd was very impressedwith_the show. "Itwasextremelyentertaining," first-year student Meredith D' Amato said. "It looked like he was having fun. The more fun he had, the more fun we had." The show started off with the Billy Joel and Elton John covers Marturano is known for. Then he mixed in several selections from the CD all of which he wrote. During a lighter part of the show, Marturano played 1V show theme songs. At one point,the entireaudience joined in tosingthethemesto"Cheers" and "The Brady Bunch." ''He put humor into it which was reallygood,''first-yearstudentMichelle Schaefflersaid. "It made it more entertaining." Two Particular fan favorites were ''Father". which Marturano wrote for his father and "Stephanie's Song." "It'saboutaco-worker'sniecewho has leukemia," Marturano said. "She askedme towriteasongforStephanie." One of the highlightsof the evening was Marturano's version of the Billy Joelclassic"PianoMan." He asked the audience to join in while he played the music. The entire crowd sang. "Irequestedit,"D'Amatosaid. "It's always been one of my favorite songs and to see it played by someone who loves Billy Joel as much as I do was great." ''He said he was worried about rememberingallthewords,soeveryone joined in," fust-year. student MichelleBums said. ''It was fun." "It felt like we were at a real Billy Joel concert," first-year student Dara Corrato said. Marturano was stunned by the crowd's participation. ''I almost criedwhen the whole place sang," he said. Judging by the audience's reaction, everyone seemed to enjoy the show. ''I thought it was very good," first-yearstudentKirstenYardsaid. ''He's very talented." ''I twas fantastic,"first-yearstudent Brian Ferrese said. ''Everything he sang was great." Marturano was happy with the outcome. ''I was pleased with the crowd,"hesaid. "Theywere intoit, and it made me more confident." Marturano, who says he loves playing music, plans to have another show before the end of the semester and maybe two more in the spring.
by Christopher Donato staff writer The Philadelphia Museum of Art is holding an exhibit of the photography of Tina Modatti (1896-1942) from Sept. 16 to Nov. 26, 1995. Modatti is well-known for her political approach to the art of photography, but her work has rarely been available to the public eye until now. The exhibit consists ofa total of 120 photographs: 112 are vintage P.rints and 6 are modem prints. Modatti's photographs have found their way to the Art Museum after being borrowed from the libraries of 52 public and private collectors of art, located in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Germany, England, the Netherlands, and Australia. Six years of detective work was spent on gathering Modatti's work. The exhibit, entitled "Tina Modatti: Photographs," has been funded in large part by Madonna. Additional support was provided by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the National ·Endowment for the Arts. Modatti was born to a poor family in Northern Italy. Poverty forced her to abandon school at the age of 14 in order to work in a silk factory. Modatti's father, who immigrated These photos are part of an exhibit by Tina Modatti. This is the first comprehensive exhibition of her photography. The exhibit opened at the Philadelphia Art Museum on Sept. 16 and will close on Nov. 26. "Tina Modatti: Photographs" is made possible by a generous gift from Madonna. photos courtesyof the PhiladeJph_iaMUS6Umof M • to the United States before her, sent for his daughter when she was 16. In San Francisco, Modatti became a respected actress of the Italian theater. She married a painter/ poet before moving to Los Angeles with her new spouse. Not leaving her dramatic flair in San Francisco, Modatti became a star in silent films. She socialized with the local "gypsy" artists of L.A. frequently, which is how she met photographer Edward Weston. Modatti worked as Weston's model, and the two became lovers. Following the death of her husband in 1923, Modatti moved with Weston to Mexico, where they opened a photographic studio. The two made a professional agreement that Weston would teach photography to Modatti, while she would conduct the affairs of the business and household. Modatti' s ability to speak fluent Spanish made her an excellent candidate for this highly • socially interactive job. It was in Mexico where _Modatti became politically involved, forming friendships with other politically inspired artists such as Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Modatti photographed Mexican workers and mothers, adding a dignity to the people that the Mexican society at the time had stripped from them. Her photographs gained critical acclaim by artists including Diego Rivera, and appeared in liberal periodicals such as "El Machete" (Mexico), "New Masses" (U.S.), and "Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung" (Germany). Modatti became increasingly involved with the Communist party, which led to her being close!y monitored by the Mexican government. She was forced to leave Mexico in 1930, accused of conspiring to assassinate the president. The last twelve years of Modatti's life took her to Berlin and then to Moscow, where she gave up photography altogether to dedicate her time and energy to the work of the Communist party. She was permitted to be a resident of Mexico again in 1942, but she died shortly after her return. After leaving Philadelphia, "Tina Modatti: Photographs" will move to The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, where it will be on display from Dec. 17 to Feb. 25. The final exhibit will be showing from March 28 to June 2 at the San Francisco Museum of Modem Art, marking the centennial of Modatti 's birth.

by Chris Lomanno staff writer A Native American powwow drew members of at least five different tribes to campus to share their cultures and crafts. "A powwow was a time of coming together as one people, despite any differences that may exist between individuals or groups," Charles C. Clark IV, assistant chief of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe, said. "It was a chance to end conflicts, foster good relations, and recognize common bonds shared by all." Calling the gathering on Saturday, Sept. 16, a powwow would be the. best way to describe the day's events. The entertainment included Native American artists such as: drummers, dancers, singers, craftsmen, a storyteller and poet, a face painter and a man exhibiting the art of horse painting. Master of ceremonies, Quenton Bear Fuller, of the Seminole tribe, asserted his intentions for the festival were "to bring different Native American cultures and traditions to the public."
M. Cochise Anderson, storyteller, dancer, poet, singer and drummer, of Chicasaw and Choctaw decent, "conveyed a message emphasizing balance and respect,'' senior Ray Ewing said. Among other pieces, Anderson performed a flute composition titled "Moon Behind the Sun," and a poem, "Burning Youth." "Either you are an advocate for change or an oppressor," Anderson said, regarding the role of the American public in the lives of Native Americans. "It was not our choice to worship money or wear suits," he said. "We are fighting for fishing rights, mineral rights and our sovereignty rights so that we are able to take care of ourselves and do the things we want to do." In a cameo appearance, Billy Cloud Walker, who was summoned from the audience, led some active participants from the crowd through a traditional snake dance.
photos by S1acey Caiazzo Native American dancers (picturedabove) share part of their heritage at the NativeAmerican Arts Festival held Saturday, Sept 16. Shortly after that, Clint Chartier, of the Micmac tribe, shared his horse painting technique, but was unable to perform his riding and shooting exhibition on account of the terrain. The types of crafts available ranged from jewelry and quilts to replica shields. "Everything for sale here is beautiful," junior Lisa Hagovsky said. "The price is not even that important because all of these things are made from the heart." As the organizer of the festival, Dr. Nancy Rush promised, it was a day full of cultural enrichment. Heronly regret was that more members of the Cabrini community did not make it. There are still opportunities to learn about these cultures throughout the year. The college has organized a Native American Studies Program consisting of about nine scheduled events. The festival was sponsored by Sigma Rho; and proceeds benefited the Southeastern Cherokee Confederacy Scholarship Fund. by EdlelyEsptnola staff writer ~lawar,e Avenue saysit all. lt is where the crazy~young; ~lldbipgatherona WedneSday or Fridaynight, l'h~long strip offers a multitude ofnigbt~lubs,resttuJran~ shopping-~as andother social ~aaptS •.

• According to the manual provided for Seminar 300 teachers, the Seminar 300 course was designed as a response to how the faculty saw !he '80s as "a time of rampant individualism, characterized by a 'me first' attitude among students." The course focuses on "encouraging students to consider their responsibilities to the community and their roles in public life," according to the manual. The course is required of all Cabrini College students during their junior years. Riely said that each semester somewhere between 100 and 120 students take the Seminar 300 course and come to her to begin work on their community service. She suggests community service projects to them and helps them to decide on projects that are right for them. Some students already have a project in mind. They just need it approved. "In one case, a student wanted to volunteer to teach tennis at the Arthur Ashe tennis camp," Riely said. "I thought that was great, and now I know someone at the camp and can send other students there." Cabrini students have fulfilled the requirement in many ways. Riely said that the choices are extremely varied. "Students have fed the homeless during the Care Walk, taught illiterate adults to read, helped disabled adults, visited nursing homes, participated in Habitat for Humanity and even taught parents of children at day care centers job search skills like resume writing and Word Perfect," Riely said. "Rarely will a student go away having had a bad experience," Riely said. "The idea of the experience is for students to walk a mile in someone else's shoes." Riely stresses that students are there to learn, and not to be gophers. They should come out of the experience having learned something valuable, not filing skills. "I get really excited when I discover a job for a student that can lead to a full-time job offer, connections that they can use later on in their career," Riely said. "Just recently I was able to get a volunteer position for a student in the district attorney's office," she said. "I am so excited for her. I mean, imagine, she has her foot in the door at the DA's office." Riely said that of the total number of students who do the community service projects, close to 50 percent oftbem choose the same placement, the Paul V. Fly School.

Riely said that Cabrini students really bond with the students they tutor and learn a lot in the process.
"The school has a remarkably broad student body," Riely said. "Some students are dropped off in beat up cars, others in Mercedes and Lincolns, and the racial and ethnic spectrum is so broad that as of last year, the school had students from 17 countries speaking 14 different languages." This comes from the fact that the Paul V. Fly school acts as a magnet school for Norristown area students who need English as a second language.

Despitetough start to season, Lady Cavs are set to defendtitle
According to O'Neill, the team keeps coming back with a positive attitude regardless of any defeats. According to first-year student Edna Lahn, a player must give each position equal attention. "The key to good playing is great communication between the players," Lahn said. There are three first-year students on the team this year: Bridget Egan, Lesley Kerrigan and Amy Sisun. According to Harrigan, the new students add to the positive attitude of the team this year. "Egan shows great potential for a successful year. She has earned a spot in the starting line up," Harrigan said. "Egan blocks well," Lahn said. According to junior Dawn Johnson and Rutherford, Egan is a strong player on the team. "Kerrigan is making a mark on the team," Harrigan said. "She comes to practice everyday and works hard, giving 100 percent."

10 Out of bounds by Stephanie Caldwell co-sports editor How many real people are able to find good pay ingjobs after being found guilty of a crime, like rape? How many millionaires do you know with a rape charge slapped on their record? In the real world, second chances do not come easily to real people when they have been convicted of a serious crime. Enough about the real world Let's talk about the world of sports and those who call themselves athletes. Although I consider myself a lover of all sports, from wiffle ball to ice hockey, there is still that one sport that causes me to shake my head, boxing. Being paid to bust open lips, to bruise eyes and to cause concussions often makes me wonder. What makes me wonder even more is that you can be a convicted rapist and still make millions in the ring. Tyson was convicted of rape in 1992, served three years in jail, and was paroled this year. He then waltzed his way back into the crazy world of boxing. More importantly, he waltzed his way back to an easy life of making millions. The MGM Grand in Las Vegas will host Tyson's next six fights paying him $36 million. In his first fight after being released from prison, a fight that lasted only 89 seconds, Tyson, a convicted rapist, collected $25 million. Yes, $25 million. The message here is that you can be a convicted criminal and still make the big bucks in professional sports. Tyson is not to blame, the world of boxing is. In a press conference held after his release from prison in Harlem, many supported his return to the ring. Reverend William Crockett, a Tyson supporter, addressed the crowd, comparing him to bomber Timothy McVeigh and killer Jeffrey Dahmer. His point: Tyson is no manslaughterer. No, he is not. He is a convicted rapist. What about second chances you say? According to the July 3 issue of Sports Illustrated, Tyson allegedly boasted that the best punch he ever landed was on Robin Givens, his exwife. Spousal abuse is still a crime, is it not? And according to the Philadelphia Daily Times, Tyson was accused of sexual assault at least once before. Phyliss Polaner, Givens' former publicist, filed the lawsuit in 1990 but before any action could be taken on the case, Tyson was convicted of raping Washington in 1992. As funny as it may sound, the heavyweight's conviction of rape was his second, huh, third chance. In many sports, athletes are able to resume their high-paid careers after committing an act of idiocricy. The fact remains that the suits in the high places of professional sports do not close the doors on convicted felons. Therefore, they support a corrupted world of sports that goes along with a corrupted "real" world. With very different penalties of course. SPORTS Friday, Sept. 22, 1995
The women's volleyball team is set to defend its Pennsylvania Athletic Conference title. Despite its loss against Ursinus College on Tuesday, Sept. 5, and a Joss to Wpliam Patterson College on Thursday, Sept. 7, the Lady Cavs are still confident. Cabrini Jost Thursday's match 3-1. Regardless of these defeats, the team is far from being discouraged. "This is the third year the team has played William Patterson. Cabr.ini had never won a game against them until this year," coach Jim Harrigan said. "Everyone is excited and that is a real good sign." According to first-year student Amy Sisun, William Patterson gave constant competition. There was an even demand of performance from all positions. "The team shows great potential for the year," senior Rowena Rutherford said. According to Rutherford, the team played well against William Patterson. According to junior Stephanie Miller, the team felt no threat from William Patterson. They have a second match against Patterson in mid-September. The team was confident that they will have no problem beating William Patterson a second time. Miller is now in her second year with the team. She played her first year as a freshman. According to first-year student Kellie O'Neill, the team is ready for the season. "Our coach prepares us well during practice, with constant training," O'Neill said.
According to Harrigan, Miller's height is a real asset to the team. She plays middle position. The women's volleyball team hosted the playoffs last year after going all the way to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. According to Harrigan, the team is aiming to return to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, and host the playoffs again this y~ar. "Last year's team did not do too well in the overall season. However, they did finish second in the PAC AllConference Academic Division with 11 out of 12 girls qualifying," Harrigan said. With 25 colleges in the running, the women's volleyball team had the second highest average. Last year each player carried a 3.0 grade-point average or higher during the fall semester. The team had a combined grade-point average of 3.53. The team was also awarded the American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award.
First-year student Bridget Egan goes up for the kill against William Patterson on Thursday, Sept. 7. Although the Lady Cavs lost the match 3-1, it was the first time Cabrini has won a game against William Patterson. According to coach Jim Harrigan, Egan does not play like a first-year student. Egan has held a starting position right from the beginning of the season. Aftlllll, IITJ"Mffl

Cavs are in the running for a PAC championship: women capture first, while men take third by Adam Todd staff writer Cabrini College's women's cross-country team captured first place overall while the men's team placed third as the two teams traveled to Ursinus College on Saturday, Sept. 9 for the first meet of the year. The teams faced competition from Widener University, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Ursinus College. This is a tale of two different teams under many different circumstances. While the women return several experienced runners, the men are a very young team in what coach Tom O'Hora states is a rebuilding year. Senior Michele Olsen finished third overall in the 3,000 meter race with a time of 13:05. She was followed by sophomore Nicole Volikas, sixth overall, with a time 0 of 13:56. According to O'Hora, Olsen, Volikas and junior Kristin Vento, a former All-PAC runner, will be the top runners on the team this year. "We only have five runners this year," Olsen said. "But we expect to be competitive and win the PAC." • "We need more runners on both the men's a:Q.dwomen's teams," O'Hora said. "You need five runners to compete in a meet and that's how many women we have running currently."
First-year student Joe Uff led the men's team, finishing 17th overall in the 3.1 mile race with a time of 19:41. Finishing just behind Uff was first-year student Bill Gibson in 10th place with a time of 19:42. While the team is currently rebuilding, they show what O'Hora calls "great athletic spirit." The field was rounded out by first-year students James Folsom, Chad Cross 1 0 0 Meekins and David Rhoads. "Joe Uff does not have much experience in running cross-country," O'Hara said, "but I believe that he can develop into our best distance runner." Gibson has also impressed O' Hora even though he is just beginning to run. "This team needs improvement," Folsom said, "but it's only the beginning of the year and we are already getting better." Both Meekins and sophomore John Mack were competing in their.first crosscountry race ever. While it may be a rebuilding year for the men, Folsom said he believes the team can accomplish big things. "Our goal is to win the PAC this year," Folsom said. 'It takes something special to run cross country, according to O'Hora. "Cross 0 0 O 1 L 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 country is not like other sports," O'Hora said. "In other sports the field of play and rules are always the same. There is a big adjustment between high school and college. In high school, runners run a 3.1 mile race and in college they run five." At this meet the distances were shortened to 3.1 miles for the men and 3,000 meters, or just under two miles, for the women. O'Hora believes that this may have been an advantage to some of the younger runners because that is the distance they are used to in high school. "I kind of wish that the race had been five miles," O'Hora said. "Then the guys could have seen what it is really going to be like." The teams will travel to Scranton on Sept. 16 and hope to keep building on a strong season. "Every time we go out there we improve," Folsom said.

Cavs use frustrationsfrom lossto power a victoryin Haverfordtournament
The insurance goal came in the second half from Calvert. "The ball was on the corner, and Jennifer Wiederwax [junior} hit it out to me and I stopped it myself and just hit it in," Calvert said. First-year student Jessie Valerio increased the Cavs' cushion to three in the second half with a goal of her own. In addition to the goal scoring, Frostburg was placed on ice by the spectacular efforts of the defense, which protected first-year student goaltender MaryAnne Lear, severely limiting Frostburg's scoring chances. "That's what saved us," Valerio said. "If it weren't for our defense, we wouldn't have scored." "They take a lot of pressure off me," goaltender Lear said. "Erin [O'Neill} is great, and Chris Lear and Chris Calvert. They work so hard back there." The victory over Frostburg allowed the Lady Cavs to remain undefeated this year with a record of three wins and no losses. Their previous wins came against Chestnut Hill College and Wilson College by defeating them 2-0 and 11-0 respectively.
The Lady Cavs' field hockey team put the chill on nationally-rankedFrostburg with a 3-0 victory on Sunday, Sept. 10. Although scheduled as a home game for the Cavs, the contest had to be played at Eastern College due to the poor condition of the Cabrini athletic field.
The Lady Cavs' first goal came halfway through the first half off the stick of sophomore Erin O'Neill. "Chris Calvert [senior) was in the corner," O'Neill said. "She stopped the ball and passed it over to me and I shot it and it worked perfectly."
This victory also marks Lear's third straight shutout. "It feels great," Lear said. "It's really fun to play with my sister. The team is really good. I'm just having a lot of fun. I like it a lot." "It's probably one of our best starts," Calvert said. "We worked hard. We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We came out of,it with our heads high, and everyone gave 100 percent. We worked well together and clicked, and we won 3-0." "Our defense is working hard and so is our offense," O'Neill said. She also mentioned how hard work is now paying off for the team. "We started (the season) off good. Hopefully we can keep up the intensity, keep working hard and playing hard, and hopefully win a lot more," O'Neill said. Commenting on the win, "lt feels good," Valerio said. ''Everyone has been playing so hard and we were really working well together. We connected good as a team." Head coach Lisa Kroslovic credits the women for their performance. "The girls are hard workers. They are dedicated, and they are committed to field hockey along with their studies," Kroslovic said. "This year we are a team," sophomore Jamie Paul said. "We never quit and we keep pushing the ball up the field. I think we are going to make it to the PAC [championship} and win the PAC," Paul said. "We have a great team and I think we can do it." The Lady Cavs will be on ttie road for their next three games. On Saturday, Sept. 23, they will face Misericordia College. On Monday, Sept. 25, they will travel to Immacula.ta College. On Wednesday, Sept. 27, they will go to Philadelphia College of Textile and Science.
by BIiiy Myers staff writer Emotions of the men's soccer team are mixed. Can the Cavs improve last year's record of 15-6? Can they repeat for a third time in four years of being the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference champions? On Sept. 9 and 10, the Cavs entered the Haverford College Tournament with a record of 2-1. The Cavs lost the opener to Wilkes University in overtime, 4-3, but they came back to beat Scranton University and Baptist Bible College, both by a score of 1-0. The soccer team thought it would start strong or at least that is what it looked like in the Haverford Tournament. "We were looking forward to getting a bid to the NCAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament]," junior Jim Martin said. But when the Cabrini men took the field on Saturday, Sept. 9 it was with a lack luster attitude of we are No.1 without the we. Due to injuries, the team was missing several key starters in both its offense and defense. Among those missing starters were first-year students Paul Hollinger, stopper; Larry Teal, mid _fielder; Ryan Donahue, fullback; and senior Dan Meder, forward. Ryan sprained his ankle during the game at Baptist Bible College: He is expected to return this week. Another player missing in action was senior Ken Konopka. Within 20 minutes of the first half, Konopka was given a yellow card and was ejected from Saturday's game against Haverford College. "We weren't on our game," Konopka said. With Konopka out of the game, the team turned to its No.1 goalie, sophomore Anthony Noel. He has given a new meaning to the word "brick" as in "brick wall." Noel start<:d off right where he left off last season with two shutouts. He has allowed only four goals in four games. Unfortunately, his brick wall fell apart. "I lost it," was all Noel could say to his teammates. With four minutes left in the second half, Haverford scored its second goal. "It was frustrating to know that we were the better team, yet we lost," senior Shawn McAleer said. After being down late in the second half, the Cavs tried to regain the emotion which they had during the PAC championships nearly a year ago. But it was not enough. The Cavs lost to Haverford by the score of 2-1. After the "frustrating" loss to Haverford, a team meeting was called for that night in one of the houses. No coaches were present. "Normal meetings last for 15 to 20 minutes. This meeting lasted for an hour and a half," a player, who didn't want his name used, said. During the course of this meeting, doors were locked and mouths were opened. "Everyone got things off their chest," an anonymous player said. This step of maturity could have destroyed a good, solid team, but instead, it raised the level of morale and level of play. On Sunday morning, Sept. 10, the Cavs took the field once again, but this time, there was fire in their eyes. One individual who was listening during that closed meeting was back-up goalie and· first-year student Jeff Sassaman. Sassaman replaced Noel on Sunday's game against Christopher Newport University. "We didn't know when Jeff would play this weekend. We just knew he would," coach B. Duncal) Hubley said. What a perfect time to record a shutout. Sassaman stopped everything that came his way. He posted a 3-0 win over Christopher Newport University. "Jeff played real well," Martin said. If you have watched many of the Cavs' games over the past year, you would notice they play their best against stronger opponents. Newport was no exception. "When we play good teams, we are up for them," McAleer said. The Cavs' next game will be Saturday, Sept. 23, at home.
