Oh where,oh wherehave studentelectionsgone? • Maybe they were all just too busy. Maybe they just did not care. If memory serves, this campus was plastered with flyers, posters, sidewalk-chalk drawings and other notices that screamed "first-year student elections" last year. ·There were 20 students running for only seven available positions last year. As compared to this year's six students aiming for seven positions, with no one running opposed. What happened? Is the executive board of the Student Government Association too preoccupied to make sure that elections are running smoothly? Were they too busy to help the first-year students along with their campaigns? With the realization that the members of this organization are busy reconstructing the entity that is student government noted, what does it ~ay about SGA as a whole when the elections of new blood are swept aside? r

This is the reason I did not want to be a Loquitur editor. I have to fill these columns with my own viewpoint, but on what? It is amazing how stressed out I can get over 623 words of newspaper print. The problem is, it is newspaper print about me, about my views. It is sharing a small part of me with a large community. I have always been a quiet pe,son. Unfortunately, I inherited this curse from my mother. My mother, my sister and I are not only softspoken, but we're women of few words, a deadly combination. This silence attracts attention from other people. Others who will judge and label. I ·was never the student who jumped out of her desk, hand popping radically through the air, moaning to be called on to answer the teacher's question. That is not me. It is not a part of my personality . Dr. Jerome Zurek introduced me to the Loquitur staff saying, "She's a nice person. She' II never yell at you." No kidding. I sincerely believe I am not even capable of reaching high

few words. I will speak when I have something to say. Otherwise, I am listening, and content to be listening. Does this make me a snob? I consider myself to be a very friendly person. It may be hard for me to immediately find common ground, the link to successful chitchat, with others. However, once I do, the problem is gone. Labeling is harmful and dangerous. It could prevent you from getting to know someone who is really worth knowing. Most importantly, labeling hurts. I am just thankful that my labels were never devastating for me. However, there are people who suffer daily from low self-esteems and other problems because of cruel judgments passed prematurely by other people. I am not an expert. I can not say exactly how labels can affect a person's psyche. I can only speak from my own experiences. I have worked hard to overcome my labels. I have also come to terms with my personality. I do not fight it. I can not fight it. I can not force myself to be something I am not. I only hope that my peers will see me as just Jamie, with no further labels attached, please. With this last sentence, I have completed my hardest assignment yet.

vocal decibels. As a result of my quiet voice and quiet personality, my nursery school teacher labeled me as "painfully shy." It took me several years to overcome the "painfully shy" label, only to be slapped with an alternative. My high school peers created a new label for my quiet personality. I moved up a step from being t~e "shy" girl in grade school to being the "snob" in high school. Although I was never slandered by these labels to my face, they have been confirmed by my very offenders. My senior year in high school was when I finally read the la~ bets with which others had branded me. Fortunately, for my own reputation, I met several new people for my final year in high school. After getting to know me and learning my personality, a common reaction was, "I used to think you were a snob." Surprise. Jamie Latshaw can be fun, and she can carry on a conversation. I have always loved Barry Bicksler, my high school math teacher, who said, "Silence is understanding." I only wish more people could be comfortable with silence and not be so quick to label it. Silence does not equal contempt. Silence does not always correspond with shyness. I am an observer. My silence and quietness mean I am focused and paying attention. I admit to being a woman of

Sophomoressharesiblingmemories Kevin Eppler, sophomore
As a little boy, the ability to walk granted me the ability to follow my hero. ·My older brother Doug gleamed in my eyes like the sun off a brass trumpet. Although we grew up three years apart, my footsteps never trailed more than two steps behind his. Much to Doug's dismay, I was always the "tag-a-long," eager to enthrall myself in all his activities and all his adventures. Although only three, I embarked on many adventures with Doug. Across our back alley Doug and I . wouldtrudge. Disregardinghismany attempts to send me home, I fearlessly tromped in his shadow. Whether on foot, tricycle or on a "C.H.I.P.s big wheel," I was guaranteed to be there, donning a tranquil smile and an active heart. Upon arrival to his destination, Doug would muster a final, but feeble, attempt to repel me. This sequence occurred for years with only our ages and mode of transportation changing. As I first climbed the academic ladder, I took pride in being the recipient of the famous question- "are you Doug Eppler's brother?" Then asmy grades noticeablydifferedfrom Doug's immaculate straight A's, I began to dread that question, knowing expectations were surfacing. So it continued. The years built
Nicole Hartmann, sophomore
When I was younger, I was always curious to find out what it was like to be a big sister. Well, one day my curiosity was answered. My mom had another baby when I was five and a half. To me this meant that I was no longer in the spotlight and I would have to vie for my parents' attention. Well this did not sit too well with me. Now I was not sure I wanted my little sister around. As time moved on I began to realize that it was not as bad I thought. I also came to the realization that Megan was special. There was something about .her that was different. The difference was explained to me by my parents. Megan was born with a heart condition and, as a result, had to undergo open heart surgery when she was six months old. While Megan was recovering from her operation, she suffered a stroke. Since this caused some more complications with taking care of her, my parents decided to place Megan in a nursing home in south Jersey.
upon each other. I danced in and out of classrooms with common teachers. We shared common friends. We auditioned for the same plays and musicals. We even attendedparties together. At first it was "cool" hanging around an older crowd, and I established great friendships, but, after repeatedly being referred to as Doug's brother and eventually receiving the nickname "little Epp," I needed a change. I strayed from those friends, from that scene and, in a way, from Doug. His journey to college, my sophomore year in high school, opened the opportunity for me to grow, for the first time, as Kevin. My music tastes dipped deeper into punk and obscure alternativesuch asFugazi,King Missile, The Ramones,Primus,Fishbone and Infectious Grooves. I wrote, like Doug, but I wrote more poetry than essays, which developed as Doug's forte. Slowly, I began to differentiate myself, trying to shed the cocoon other's had sewn for me. By my senior year, Doug's accomplishments, although eternally etched in the walls of Loyola High School , only occasionally surfaced. When they did surface, I conversed about them with casual pride like when two reunited strangers reminisce about past adventures. The college decision came quickly. The decision brought me to Cabrini College. First-year student and again "littleEpp,"right? Wrong! This time I aimed to continue my sojourn down my own path formed
from my own bumps and ditches, headinginadifferentdirection. Once I established my feet as Kevin, I began to truly appreciate the brother I admired so much as a child. Doug stood, in my mind, as an icon on this campus. I took comfort in knowing older brother was around the comer to help me "learn the ropes" of CabrinL Doug introduced me to his friends. We worked together in Cabrini's theater presentation of "Flowers for Algernon," me behind the scenes and he the male lead. As the play unfolded, I often found myself proudly talking of my brother's performance, the same brother who had led me up the alley to my first football games and later up the streets of New Freedom to my first full-team baseball game. The first year at Cabrini raced by and, with it, so did the brother-tobrother discussions of childhood memories. I rediscovered my older brother and drew closer to him each day. When the month of May arrived and the morning of graduation dawned, I watched again with childish admiration as my brother parted Cabrini with the Mother Ursula award, Summa Cum Laude honors, the English award and, most importantly,bindingfriendshipsthatwould last him his life. Now, I roam the halls and fields of Cabrini the lone Eppler. When a professor or student inquires about him, I proudly respondabout Doug's latest accomplishments, always keeping those colorful memories of brotherly adventures radiating in my mind and close to my heart.
Megan remained there from the time she was eleven months old until the day she died, when she was seven and a half. We used to bring Megan home every once in a while for the weekend, but mostly we traveled to south Jersey every weekend to visit her. I never knew what it was like to have a "normal" sister, so to speak. I never experienced the true feeling of sibling rivalry. We fought, but it was like fighting with a two year old. Mostly our fighting consisted of her pulling my hair and biting my fingers. When I went to retaliate, my parents would yell at me and tell me I should have known better because I was older and normal. I was supposed to be in control, whereas Megan could not control herself. I had fun visiting my sister, but then there were times when I wondered what it would be like if she was normal and lived at home. I lost a big part of my childhood from being away from my house every weekend, but if I had to do it over again, I would. I do not resent the fact that Megan was born, but I wish we could have had more time together. There were, and still are, many things that I would have liked to share with her.
·1had hoped we would have had a "normal" relationship like other people have. I will never forget the time that I did have with my sister. Nor will I forget the love that was shared between her and my family. I just hope that one day I will see her again, and we can then catch up on the things that we missed out on the first time around. I know that she is happy now and out of pain, but I want her to know that no matter what, I will love her. That is one thing in my life that will never change.

Letterto the editor .. To the editor: I offer the following response to library concerns expressed in the Loquitur on Sept. 1 and 15. I do not believe that anyone at Cabrini is making a choice between a new athletic and recreational facility and improving the library or the computer lab or any of the other areas mentioned by Gerri Brauckmann. In every discussion of which I have been part, funds raised for these projects originate from separate pots. It is difficult to ask a donor who wants to support the library, for example, to change his/ her mind to support another, very different type of project, such as an athletic facility. Most grant and gift opportunities clearly restrict the activities the agency, foundation or individual supports. Cabrini works very hard to secure outside funding through the cooperative efforts of the library, institutional advancement, finance and the president. Over the past five years, the library has used such funds to replace the carpeting original to the building, to purchase computer, audiovisual, and microfilm equipment, shelving to house the house collections and an outside book drop. We added significantly to the reference and periodicals collections, including the Wall Street Journal on microfilm, CD-ROM titles and print titles. We offered the first Internet services to Cabrini. Financial support came from dedicated individuals as well as from charitable foundations and government agencies. Cabrini has taken over support of these projects through regular increases in the library's operating budget. The library has received a grant ~f $220,000 toward the installation of an on-line catalog for a few more years as we gradually convert 38 years of mostly paper records to the database. When that last card is thrown away, you can bet the library will celebrate as much as, if not more than, the students and faculty. Very sincerely yours, Kris Mudrick, library director

An In.side look:
The Importance of Family by Stephanie Caldwell co-sports editor Writer Carolyn Hoppe may have put it best: "It is when you can laugh with one another, cry with one another, be at your best or worst with one another, that you share the gift of true friendship." Laughter has always come easily to my four older brothers, older sister and me. It is one thing we never had trouble sharing as children. And today, as adults, it is no different. And although laughs and good times are a big part of any family, I believe it is the tears and tough times that make a family friends. Suffering the death of any family member is not easy, but there is always that one special person who the mere thought of living without seems impossible. When he or she dies it seems as if your whole life is falling apart, even if it is for just a little while. Mine did fall apart,just when it was beginning. My mom's mother died in January of my freshman year of high school. She was a second mom to six kids who could not live without her, but now were forced to. I remember watching as my oldest brother, Christopher, broke down in my father's arms. And when I looked up from reading at her.funeral because I could hardly breath, it was the eyes of my third oldest brother, Chip, that let me know I would be okay. He probably does not even know what he did for me that day. You see, emotions are not hidden in my family, but rather expressed and it only takes a look to know you are not alone. It is not a surprise that that look came from Chip. It was he who had seen that same look so many times in the previous two years. Chip became a father at the age of 17, still a high school senior. Instantaneously our family pulled together for what would be some very tough years to come. The baby's existence was never a question. He would be welcomed into not only our house, but our family. He would be given the last name of Caldwell and would learn to be proud of it, just like the rest of us. Jeffrey is now a very happy 7 year old, but it took a lot of hard work on all of our parts. Through love and understanding my parents never turned Chip away, and it was the same love and understanding that allowed Chip to go to them. The first couple of years were the toughest. We were all emotionally and physically drained, but not once did we complain about it. The matter at hand was too important to do so. Eventually the tears were coming less often and the laughter was a welcomed sign that happiness was settling in. Both of these events were turning points for our family. Notice I say "family" and not "me" or "him." We never let each other go through anything alone. Ever. You may think that growing up in a family of six with only one sister may have been tough, but, in all honesty, it was not. I just learned to play rough, that's all. Of course, my sister and I are very close, sharing everything sisters should: late-night talks, clothes, arguments and laughs. However, my relationship with my brothers is just as solid. Christopher is my protector as well as the one who always picks on me, in a funny way of course. I hold my own though. Bill, my second-oldest brother, is the scholar as well as the partier. He is there when I need help with school and never hesitates to offer me a beer when we have completed the project. Not bad, huh? Chip is my second "dad" and the one I look up to. His becoming a parent so young has made him more strict with me and although it is not always welcomed, it is always appreciated. It is Chip who I am most like. I am confident that I will fulfill my dreams, dreams that he once had for himself, and it is he who has given me much of that confidence. B"rad,a very talented artist, was always my partner-in-crime growing up. As kids we shared toys. Today we share much more. You may be wondering why I have yet to mention my parents. Did you ever hear of saving the best for last? My father and I do not have a fairy-tale relationship. I do not deny that. But he is still my father and he has certainly done his part to keep this family together. For the little things, such as taxi-cabbing and handing out spending money, I am grateful. But it is my mother whom I must praise forraising an incredible family. My mom is certainly my closest friend. She gives, and asks for nothing in return. She listens even when she does not want to hear it. She sits through rainy games and makes tip-off even if it is right from work. She is also my biggest, and most appreciated fan. When my mom chose to have six kids, she also chose to make "her'' life "our'' life from then on. She did it without question, with hard work and determination. Through her determination and hard work, she has seen two of her children complete four-year colleges, one of whom is employed in her field as a child-life specialist and the other is in his last year of law school after going to Oxford University and paralegal school. Her oldest son is happily married with a two-month-old daughter and Chip is working full-time, attending little-league games and watching his son grow. Brad is in his last year at an art university and I, the baby, am a junior at Cabrini. All are very happy. By these last few lines I hope I showed you how my mother's detennination has rubbed off on all of us. I see a lot of my mother in me. That is a good thing. I have to agree with Sheri Curry as well when she wrote, "friendship is sharing openly, laughing often, trusting always, caring deeply." As family we are frie.nds who share thoughts and trust one another enough to do so. Our laughs help dry our tears and they do so because we care about one another. To me, family is not just looking alike or living under the same roof. It is being the best of friends while doing so.

InFebruaryof1995,ZooEnterlainmentrecordingartistMatthewSweetreleasedanalbum "100%Fun"tothedelightof criticsandfansalike.AlthoughSweetisenjoyingvideoandradio rotationsof his music, "100%Fun" is hisfifth releaseand he has beenrecordingmusicsince the early1980s. So why is Matthew Sweet suddenlybecominga radiodarling? Wecaught up with him, during a breakfrom his tour with Sou/Asylum, theJayhawks and VictoriaWilliams,duringaperformanceat "TheBig Kahuna" surf clubin Wilmington,Del., to seejust how much fun he has been having. KSC: I read an interviewwith you recentlyand it came across that you hate to sing your radiofriendlyhits like "Girlfriend."Do you ever wish that you could perform and not have to play "Girlfriend"or "Sick of Myself' ever again? MS: (laughs) Um, well you know I haven't had that effect as much as I guess I would. Give me another few years, I might feel differently. You know I guess the (Rolling) Stones never want to have to hear "Satisfaction" again or whatever ...For me I guess I haven't gotten sick enough ofmy songs to really hate playing them at this point. But there is something about a song that you know is going to get the crowd going. It's kind of fun to play it. .. You can pull out that one and they'll really get going for it. KSC: When I listen to songs like "Winona,""Time Capsule" and "I AlmostForgot" I really feel like I'm listeningto or reading your privatejournals. Did you ever think, you know, screw it I'm just going to write a genericpop song and leave myselfout of it? MS: (laughs) Well I do that all the time and I think that's just the tone, music and lyrics. When its just a whole "me and you" sort of thing going on that makes it seem really personal even when it's not. Really out of those songs I mean none of them are really autobiographical or exact personal stories of my life. So you know there's always a bit of reality but I will very infrequently write something that'sjust directly autobiographical. Pretty often people think songs are autobiographical that aren't. I hate explaining that because I don't want to take away from the personal nature of the music, which I think is one of the strengths, but its just that I try to clarify that. KSC: Was it toughfor you when you were, I guess 18, leavingNebraskaand going to Athens for the music scene? Did your parentsjust want you to go to theuniversityof Nebraskaand marry a nice girl and stay around? MS: (laughs) Well I don't think it was that specific that they wanted me to get married or anything. In fact, I was the one to get married really young, and they were horrified by it. They didn't know why I wanted to go to Georgia, or go to Athens, but I knew there was a music scene there that had a lot of original music, and that's what I wanted to do, write songs, make independent records. The guy who I shared a house with, Rick Easter, had suggested to me that Athens was a good place, and I met the guys from R.E.M. and every• thing. So we just thought that it was as good as anywhere to go. KSC: I read an old concert review of yours and the guy who wrote it was describing you performing"Divine Intervention,"off of 1992's "Girlfriend," and he describedit as a "Job-like lament." Did you ever think of something like that? You know, "Divine Intervention,""Does He love us? Does He love us?" What did you think of that? MS: Well, that whole Job story is that like he loses faith or whatever and he is trying to clarify his feelings about it or whatever. So I mean in that way I guess it's correct. That song is sort of a questioney song. It's like, do we really believe in this, you know, and I guess for me I thought ofit more as a cynical, negative kind of thing. Although there were a Jot of religious people who kind of took it to heart as, well, saying "yeah, it's so Jiard to believe and know that there will be Divine Intervention. So, I mean, my feeling is always "To each their own and whatever gets you through the night." You know I don't want to influence anyone's feelings about that really. For me it was a questioney thing mostly. • KSC: I know that you're workingon the "SaturdayMorning"compilation,a remakealbum featuringthe theme songs to cartoons.I knowthatyou're doingScooby-Doo.Are youa bigfan of thosecartoons,likethe Sid & MartyKroft "H.R. Pufnstuf' and ''The Banana Splits?" MS: (laughs) Sure I used to watch all that stuff. R.R. Pufnstufis a really great one. The Buggaloos, I used to have that record. You know, I used to watch Scooby-Doo when I was a kid. I was really into monster movies and ghosts and stuff like that. The kind of horror mystery theme was real big with me on that show. That's why I picked that song to do rather than, you know, Speed Racer or something that would have been more typical for me being a fan of Japanese Animation. I tried to do something different than people would expect. KSC: I just have one quick question,Matthew."Trick" Racing Gasoline,what's up with that? MS: Um, well I have a 1970 Dodge Challenger, it's like my day-to-day car. And it really likes high-octane fuel. And a friend of mine told me about a gas station out in the Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles that sold 100 octane gasoline. So I went out there once and got a tank full ofit. It was right before or right after "100 % Fun" came out and they bad some merchandise stuff in the little gas station, like a bat and a T-shirt with the same kind of Bal 2001 font that is on "100% Fun." So I got a hat and I would wear it around. I had it on in the video for"Sick ofMyselr' in one of the shots. Somebody up at BMG, my distributor, saw that and undertook the task of finding out where "Trick Gasoline" was and see if they could scam some merchandise from them. Then we became friendly with them, and they sort of became like our unofficial tour sponsor. They let us use their logo to make some T-shirts. Really just a fun thing, you know, because they have the same type face and I have the car and all that it kind of tied in. KSC: BecauseI bought the T-shirt with the Lite Brite on it, and I love it. I had a Lite Brite when I was younger. MS: The Lite Brite shirt? KSC: Yeah the one with "1()0%Fun" on it. It's the best, I've worn it all around campus. MS: What did you think of the Donny and Marie shirt? KSC: Yes, that's sick! MS: That was a really sick one that, at first, we nixed, and then over time we kept thinking, "Let's make that Donny and Marie shirt." So then we finally made it. KSC: Do you think that you will ever re-release1986's "Inside" and 1989's "Earth?" MS: Both of those, as far as I know are both available. They were re-issued around the time of"Girlfriend," on A&M and CBS. So as far as I know, you can still get them. You might have to order them. KSC: I think that I might have to do that. MS: Be forewarned! KSC: ShouldI be scared? MS: Yes. Be afraid ... be very afraid!

LadyCavsturnoutthe lightonAlbright: Millsscoreswinninggoal in Cavs' 2-0 win by Adam Todd staff writer
The women's soccer team captured its first victory of the year, by shutting out Albright College, 2-0, on Sept. 14. This victory is seen by many players as a stepping stone for bigger goals when the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference season begins. Senior Dana Mills booted home the game-winning goal for the Lady Cavs during the first half of play. She was assisted by junior Lisa Belano. The team knew at that point that it would have to play good defense to hold Albright and come away with its first victory. "Dana's goal was key. Once she scored, we knew we had to win that game," sophomore goalie Mandy Hopta said. The team received an insurance
goal in the second half from first-year student Denise Sacca. She was assisted on the play by sophomore Amy Hummel. "Amy Hummel had her best game of the year so. far," Hopta said. Both of these goals were important since the Lady Cavs have had some difficulty scoring lately. While scoring goals is important in soccer, defense was the key to this game. The Lady Cavs were led defensively by sophomore Michele McGowan. Other key defenders were sophomore Cara Santelli, first-year student Marisa Kane and Hopta, who held Albright scoreless for her first shutout of the season. "Michele had an exceptional game as usual. She is always covering players, even when they are not her responsibility," Santelli said. This year the defense has covered for

season injuries, most everyone is back and anxious to play .. According to Santelli, if the team continues to work together, it will be able to accomplish big things. One of the most important goals oi the team is to make it back to that championship game and defend its title. The Lady Cavs were looking to challenge Salisbury State University on Sept. 17. However, the game was canceled due to inclement weather. The team hopes to combine an improving offense with a stand-out defense in the upcoming PAC season. As defe_nding PAC champions, many conference schools will be after the Lady Cavs this season. If the team is able to combine both offense and defense, along with the skills of Hopta, it will be able to meet the challenge of its PAC foes .

an offense that has been somewhat stagnant. "We've had a little trouble scoring lately. We had a lot of shots, but had trouble hitting the net," Santelli said. Santelli also stated that the key to winning is being able to take advantage of opportunities while they exist. The Lady Cavs are looking to build on their first victory of the season by coming out strong when playing PAC teams. "All of the games so far have been non-conference games. We are looking forward to defending our PAC championship," Santelli said. Things seem to be getting better and better for the team lately. "We are improving since our first few games. Things are really starting to come together," Sacca said. The team was forced to overcome adversity as well. After losing several players to early-

Cavs dominatef.irst PAC game with strong win againstAlvernia by Paul Monte staff writer
The men's soccer team won its first Pennsylvania Athletic Conference game of the year by giving Alvernia College the boot on Wednesday, Sept. 13, with 7-1 victory. The win improved the team's record to 4-1. This game, however, saw some of the first-year students and bench players come through for Cabrini. The fact that there were several player injuries and that they were playing an inexperienced Alvernia team, helped the Cavs' cause. "Since we have a lot of starters hurt, I thought that we did well," junior John Volpe said. "Everybody did a good job and filled in." The efforts of the younger players showed in three first-year students Paul Donaghy, Don Eadie and Noah Scharper scoring for the Cavs. Other scorers were junior Jimmy Martin and seniors Joe Ricci and Steve Vigliotta, who had two. "The Cavs took it to Alvernia early on by scoring six times in the first half," Ricci said. "We were basically having fun after the first half. We only did what we had to do." Seniors Bill Bono and Dan Meder said they were happy to see bench players pick up for the injured players. Meder had to sit the game out with a strained hamstring. "They [Alvernia] weren't that good of a team," Bono said. "This is their first year in the PAC."

He also mentioned how players such as first-year students Jason Steere, Mark Friel and Noah Scharper, who do not get much playing time, got it. The team used a 3-0 victory by the junior-varsity team over Alvernia last year as reason to feel confident going into this meeting. "We dominated every facet of the game," Ricci said. "I think everybody played strong. It was a group• effort. Everybody from the best to the worst guy on the team played well." Nevertheless, the Cavs did not take Alvernia lightly. According to Bono, that was the reason for the team's first two losses. For the Cavs, however, this game put another notch on their winning belt. "There weren't that many highlights," Bono said. "We had the ball in our offensive end the entire time." "Their team was horrible," senior Dave Capozzolo said. "In the first half we played good. In the second half we just tried too hard to get a lot of goals." Senior and co-captain Ken Konopka mentioned how the Cavs were playing a less-talented Alvernia team and how that caused Cabrini not to function as a working unit. "Everybody was looking to do their own thing," Konopka said. "We; didn't work as a team, but the score doesn't show that, because we are a Jot better skill-wise." The Cavs will face their next test on Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 4 p.m., when they play a home game against Beaver Col· lege.
