'The Juice'.is loose: But at what price? Orenthal James Simpson has been acquitted of murdering his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. But at what price was he freed? Was it only the outrageous cost of his $8 million legal defense team, or has this whole fiasco compromised the American judicial system? This historic verdict has brought Americans together, but at the same time it is tearing this country apart. At-1:09 p.m. eastern standard time, the country stopped to watch or listen to the verdict, with both sides hoping that the judicial system would not fail them. After the words "not guilty" rang in the ears of the entire country, lines in the sand were drawn. While the majority of African-Americans were satisfied with the decision, the majority of Caucasians were dissatisfied and even outraged. Defense attorney Robert Shapiro has gone on record saying that "not only did we play the race ~ard, we dealt from the bottom of the deck." Why did race have to become an issue in this case? In a span of 16 months, the country stepped back 35 years and segregated itself during this trial. There were African-Americans who sided with O.J. just because they shared a common skin tone; while there were Caucasians who felt that he was guilty just because he was not the same skin tone. The fact of matter is that someone African-American, Caucasian, or green, has gone unpunished for the crime of murder-something that everyone has seemed to overlookeveryone except the grieving families of the deceased. Although the country's attitude about race is in question, let us not forget that even if the decision had been different, two people will not be returning home to the families that love them. Perhaps during this 16-month saga, this fact has been forgotten.

there are three million Kens a year who beat women. It is sickening, and one wouid tend to think that in this day and age women and men would be bold enough to speak out against the violence pervading our society. Abuse and rape are not found only in the ghettos. Violence is not a "black thing" or a "white thing" or a Hispanic, Italian, German or Polish thing. Rich people and poor people are beaten and raped. It is not someone else's problem. It is not the victim's fault. When a woman, or a man, says "no" it means "no." "Stop it" does not translate into "I'm trying to turn you on." It means stop. I do not care if the person is dressed like a stripper or is a stripper. "No" only has one definition. So here is my obligatory Loquitur essay for the semester.

I am not a Barbie doll. I do not live in a picturesque little world full of happy colors. I am a human being, living in a world where colors cause wars and differences cause persecution. No one likes a bitch, and a feminist is not everyone's favorite type of little girl. But if being a "feminist bitch" is what it takes to make society start fixing its problems, then I am going to be one for a very long time.

No than-ks: Alternativesto drinking by TheodoreHammett,Ph.D. kind of drinking that leads to probDirector of the Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention
As new students arrive on campus this fa11,alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse-by other students as we11as by themselves-can put them at physical and academic risk. New students may not be aware that binge drinkers represent a minority of the student population and that there are things they can do to mobilize the non-binge drinking majority, and the school's administration to support and adopt comprehensive programs to prevent AOD abuse. Clearly a lot of people come to college lo drink and get drunk. At the so-called "party schools," more than half the new freshmen will engage in binge drinking their first week on campus. That's what a study of four-year colleges and universities by the Harvard School of Public Health found earlier this year, despite the fact that most freshman are too young to drink legally. Yes they want to get an education-if they last Jong enough-but they want to "have fun," too. For some, it's often hard to figure out io advance where having fun ends and where problem drinking begins. Figuring it out afterwards is easy. Problem drinking is drinking that causes problems. For the binge drinker, the problems include hangovers and illness that may adversely affect studies and academic performances, as wen as injuries and even death. Moreover, binge drinking has deleterious effects for other students, such as interrupted sleep and study, property damage, fights and accidents, and acquaintance rape and other sexual assaults. Fortunately, these are problems with potential solutions. For one thing, research shows that onJy a minority of students at four-year colleges engage in binge drinking, defined as consuming more than four or five drinks at one sitting-the
lems. At 44 percent, it's a large minority, but it's a minority nonetheless. That means non-binge drinkers, and people who don't drink at all, represent more than half the student body on most four year campuses. Other data show that about one-third of all students would just as soon not have alcohol around at all. These students have a right to speak up and not tolerate drinkers impairing the quality of their education and their campus life. They should be encouraged to do so. After all, look at what non-smokers have been able to achieve in clearing away the environmental tobacco smoke that once permeated public area and facilities around the nation. On many campuses, college administrators are helping students discourage underage and binge drinking and fight peer pressure to drink, but their efforts are often fleeting and fragmented: Alcohol Awareness Weeks; sobriety checkpoints; training for alcohol serving staff; and so forth. New students and, indeed an students, concerned about the problems associated with AOD abuse can encourage administrators to establish a comprehensive prevention strategy tailored to the unique characteristics of their campus. Such a strategy will likely combine some new and different ideas with existing campus programs and activities not previously identified as part of a substance abuse program. Help is available to students and administrators in developing and implementing comprehensive alcohol and other drug abuse prevention programs. The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, fosters campus programs and environments that will discourage abuse of
alcohol and illegal drug use, and encourage lifestyles and cultures more conducive to students' fulfilling their academic potential. The Center's technical assistance, training and numerous publications are available without charge to all post secondary educational institutions and student organizations. Of particular interest to students and administrators may be several publications that will soon be available from the Center. These include a management handbook for student organizations addressing alcohol and other drug abuse prevention, a flier for students on preventing and avoiding acquaintance rape, a handbook for advisers to Greek organizations, and a bulletin for administrators establishing substance-free residence halls.

Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Was justice served? Here are some reactions to the "not guilty" verdict.
Cathy DeSant, junior: "I kind of figured that this is how it would be."
Chris Schmid, sophomore:
"I was shocked that there was not a guilty verdict for both counts. But I don't think that there was any racism involved because a majority of the jury was black."
Malik Rashied, junior: "Get the hell out of here. I couldn't believe it. Because it was 12 women jurors, I thought they were going to hang him."
Beth Molloy, junior: "I thought that the verdict was fair. There was proof that they tampered with the evidence. There was reasonable doubt established. None of us know what really happened. None of us were there."

Campusleaders'standout fromthe crowd' by Jim Martin staff writer
Cabriniadssay, "Standoutfromthecrowd" Whether it be a class officer, resident assistant, orientation counselor or a sports captain, there are many people who stand out at Cabrini. These people are called leaders. A recent national study shows that the ad is true. Cabrinidevelopsstudentleadershipqualities in its students more than other colleges do. The study done by the Higher Education Research Institute showed that 70 percent of th~ graduates of 1994 were satisfied with the leadership opportunities at Cabrini, compared to 60 percent from other similar four-year Catholic colleges. According to Dr. Mary Anne Biller, vice president for enrollment management at Cabrini, a second study was done showing that when the '94 graduates were first-year students, only 1.5 percent of them felt they would be elected to an office at Cabrini. However, by their senior year, an astounding 40 percent of the graduates had been elected to an office at Cabrini. Biller said that at larger universities "it is much more difficult to obtain a leadership role. However, at Cabrini it is different. All students are given the opportunity to assume a leadership role. The only requirement is that they work hard. There are many different opinions of what a leader is. Assistant director of resident life Laura llwin said that a leader is, "a person that, by example, demonstrates the qualities of a liberally-educated person." Vice president of student development Dr. Robert A Bonfiglio believes that leaders are, "people who are willing to sacrifice their time and energy for others to make a difference." Bonfiglio said he also feels that leaders are also
people who put the needs of the community above their own. Who are some of the leaders at Cabrini
College? Many people believe that senior Kelly McDonald is one of them. At Cabrini, McDonald has held various leadership roles, including student coordinator of summer orientation for the summer of 1995, co-facilitator during the 1993-94 academic year and Loquitur editor in chief for the 1994-95 school year. McDonald is currently secretary for the senior class. McDonald said she took advantage of the many opportunities that were available to her because she had a desire to get involved and help other people. McDonald said that, although it was sometimes difficult balancing her activities with her school wor~ she felt that it was all worth it Senior Nate Carter is a resident assistant in Xavier. Carter believes that a leader is, "someone who tries and works hard in their community to make a difference." Carter says that he enjoys his position as an R.A becausehe enjoystheopportunityto help others. He alsosaid ihat balancinghis leadership role with classes can be very difficultat times. First-yearstudentNoahScharperhasCarteras his RA Scharpersaidthat althoughCarterisvery busy, he makes it known that he is available to
anyone who is having problems. Junior Andrea Kelliher is president of the StudentGovernmentAssociation, a memberof the campus ministry council,and the manager of the men's basketball
team. As pre.5identof SGA, Kellihersaidshefeelsthat herleadershiproleisvery important. ''I listen to what all the students think and share their thoughts and needs in my meetings with Dr. Bonfiglio and Dr. Iadarola," Kelliher said. Kelliher said she also feels that she would not have been given these opportunities if she had gone to a larger school. Senior Celene Wright is an R.A. in house six. She said she feels that a leader is, "someone that gives to the community that surrounds him or her, does notjudge others, and accepts people for what they are." Wright makes herself available to all residents of house six Celene Wright whenever they need her. "She makes me feel more comfortable on campus and she's always there to listen when I have problems," junior resident of house six Kay Bergmann said. There are also people on campus who hold leadership roles different from that of R.A.s and class officers. These are people such as orientation counselors, sports captains or leaders of community service projects. These people, along with many others, have been given the opportunity to become leaders at Cabrini College and have embraced it.

years to make the campus reasonably secure. This includes an increased number of public safety personnel, improved lighting on campus and installation of emergency telephones throughout the campus. Seven full-time and four part-time safety officers, along with the full-time director of public safety, monitor the campus 24 hours a day. These officers can either be found on foot or ve~icle patrol of the campus or monitoring residence hall access. Students and employees may, at any time, call campus public safety and request an escort to or from a campus building or parking area. Emergency telephones are located at each residence hall and throughout the campus. Public safety addresses issues of security. According to Kralle, each public safety officer is required to hold regular educational programs on campus on issues affecting students. Programs in the past have included issues such as tandalism, fire safety, rape, alcohol and drug abuse, self-defense and driving in inclement weather. Ideas for such programs are open to students' suggestions. Via bulletins, posters and college publications, the department of public safety provides security tips to the campus community. While on-campus security updates are listed each week in Loquitur, security will distribute notices to inform students of serious off-campus incidents. The· first step to avoiding crime is to realize that it exists.
Alternative degree program delayed by Jessica Bilotta staff writer
Cabrini's adult and continuing education division is trying to get a branch campus in New Jersey, but winning approval has not been easy. The Commission on Higher Education's strict policies on allowing out-of-state colleges to enter New Jersey have kept Cabrini's plans to offer an accelerated degree program at Gloucester County College on hold. For nearly a year, Cabrini's adult and continuing education division has been working diligently with representatives from GCC to offer a program that would enable GCC graduates to earn their bachelor's degrees without having to travel to Cabrini to attend classes. This accelerated-degree program would be offered to GCC students 23 years of age and older who have completed at least 50 semester hours. It would allow those students with families and jobs to get a degree from Cabrini and still remain close to home. Dr. Jerry Middlemiss, vice president of the life long learning department at GCC, said he feels that this is the beauty of the program. "In today's society, people with busy schedules, particularly working adults to whom this program is targeted, need options," Middlemiss said. "This program allows the student to decide when, where and how to earn their degree." The commission's stringent rules and regulations on allowing out-of-state institutions to enter New Jersey have been the primary reason for the delay. According to Middlemiss, there is a whole spectrum of requirements that need to be met in order for an out-of-state institution to come into New Jersey and offer a degree program. "This program is a partnering of Gloucester County and Cabrini Colleges working together to offer degree completion," Middlemiss said. "There are no other programs like it in New Jersey." Despite these obstacles, both Cabrini and GCC remain determined to make the program a reality. Both colleges have been considering a temporary location to hold classes until the commission makes its decision. According to Dr. Lorraine Cavaliere, dean of adult and continuing education at Cabrini, both colleges have been looking into sites on the Pennsylvania side of the river to hold classes until the commission gives the OK to enter New Jersey. Available space in Crozer Chester Medical Center is a possibility, but no official decision has been made. Both Cavaliere and Middlemiss maintain that interest in the program by students remains strong. Middlemiss said he believes that the reputation of both colleges is one of the reasons. "I would not want to speculate on the wheels of progress on dealing with state bureaucracy," Middlemiss said. Middlemiss and Cavaliere continue to apply pressure to the commission. Both plan to attend a meeting in Trenton in hopes of expediting the process.

The Comedy Troupe is a mountain of fun. Members are: top: senior Katina Corrao, middle: senior Monica Scaramuzza and sophomore Kevin Eppler, bottom: senior Nina Sciarrotta, juniors Paul Marturano and Rob Marish.
The one thingthey all agreeon is thattheimprovisational brandof comedytheypracticeforcesactorsto think on theirfeet "lmprov makes you a better actor by putting you on the spot," Sciarrotta said. "When you get up there, you have to not care. You have to forget about everythingbut achieving the purpose of playing the game. You can not worry about looking like a fool." "It is very helpfulfor the students who sometimeshave difficultycomingup withinventivewaysof solving problems,orputtingthemselvesacross forcefullyin a social or professional situation,"Newmansaid. Marturanoagreedwith Newman. "I was more introvertedbeforeI got involvedwith the Cqmedy Troupe. NowI findmyselftobemorehyperand outgoing,"he said.

MotherUrsulacelebrates80 years of service by Phy/11sCohen staff writer
Past and present members of the Cabrini family helped Mother Ursula Infante celebrate her 80th anniversary as a Missionary Sister of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at a ceremony that was held on Saturday, Sept. 23 in St. Joseph's Chapel. "I said to my secretaries outside," Archbishop Theodore E. Mccarrick said to begin the Mass, "you will probably never again in your lives be present at an 80th jubilee of religion." During the Mass, Mother Ursula renewed her vows to God. In the speech she gave at the end of the Mass, she spoke of her joy in serving God and being able to teach for St. Cabrini. "This was a challenge, and God is a witness to my efforts," she said. "I am immensely grateful to God and St. Cabrini for the grace and privilege given me o"fworking for His Kingdom at Mother Cabrini High School and Cabrini College." She thanked Archbishop McCarrjck for leading the Mass and the other Missionary Sisters for organizing the celebration. She expressed her gratitude to Cabrini's administration, faculty and staff. She also acknowledged her "dear girls" of Mother Cabrini High School and Cabrini College. She received a standing ovation at the end of her speech. Mother Ursula said she was excited to speak at the ceremony and to see so many familiar faces. She said she missed teaching and interacting with the students on a daily basis.

(Left to right) Sr. Mary Scullion, Mother Ursula and college president Dr. Antoinette Iadarola. Scullion spoke on spirit day two years ago.
However, she has kept up on the changes the college has gone through over the years. After the Mass, there was a reception in the mansion. Both current and former Cabrini administrators, faculty and students attended the Mass and reception. Those on the guest list included Cabrini's graduates and teachers whom Mother Ursula herself hired. Everyone in attendance was in awe of Mother Ursula. "I think it was awesome," college president Dr. Antoinette Iadarola said. "I think there are so few things today where people can talk about permanent things. It's just wonderful to celebrate 80 years of dedicated, loyal service to the Lord and someone who has done that
lovingly and caringly and completely. None of us would be here if it wasn't for her." "What struck me," Dr. Leonard Primiano, assistant professor of religion, said, "was to hear her words and to hear how devoted she is; and the fact that she's been doing it for 80 years is remarkable. She's served each community that she's lived in. Her life is a life of s~rvice. That's what is so remarkable about it. She keeps giving." Man·y of those who attended shared memories of Mother Ursula. "In 1966 she hired me," Andrew Litavec, associate professor of education said. "Mother Ursula was probably the most organized and efficient person I have ever had the pleasure of
working with, She· demanded excellence." Patricia Murphy-Winkel, a member of the class of 1964, was a student in the days when almost all of the college's activities were in the mansion. She remembers Mother Ursula as a caring president who was always around. "She was wonderful," Murphy-Winkle said. "She knew everything about us. She was interested in us. She taug~t us the right things. She was courageous. She would take on any problem. It's inspiring." Stewardship coordinator Gretchen Dingee and the director of alumni affairs Martha Dale helped organize the event along with Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, the fourth president of Cabrini and the director of
the Pastoral Institute at the Center for Migration in New York. "The reception was hosted by the college," Dingee said, "because, after all, she founded the c_ollege,so it was the least we could do." All three organizers were pleased with the event. They were especially pleased with the large turnout, which was approximately 175 people. One group that participated in the Mass was the . members of the original graduating class of Cabrini College. The class of 1961 still actively supports Mother Ursula. The majority of these women knew her from when she was the principal of Mother Cabrini High School in New York City. Some even knew her from the Cabrini grammar school, which no longer exists. According to Dale, when Mother Ursula founded the college, she brought many of her students from Mother Cabrini High School to Radnor to start enrollment. Throughout the reception, these women remarked how much Mother Ursula means to them. As a thank you to her, they are planning a birthday party for her at the end of February 1996 to celebrate Mother Ursula's 99th birthday. Archbisho·p Mccarrick summed up many people's statements when he ended the Mass. "We are all counting on coming back two years from now," he said, "to celebrate her 100th year and coming back 20 years from now to celebrate her religious centenary."

The legislation would likely oppose federal consent decrees that require Philadelphia to release up·to 600 criminal defendants a week to reduce prison overcrowding. In Philadelphia, a court-ordered prison cap has forced 50,000 fugitives onto the streets. In the 18 month period following their release, the prisoners were arrested for 79 murders, 959 robberies, 90 rapes and 1,113 assaults, according to District Attorney Lynne Abraham.

Women'stennisswats·competition Out of bounds in the Wesley CollegeTournament by Paul Monte staffwriter
by Justin Mlrig/Ian/ co-sports· editor
One thing in pro sports has always amaz.edme. In Philadelphiawe have four major professionalsportsteams. On those teams arepro athletes. You would think that a professionalathlete who possesses extraordinarytalentswould feelfortunate. You would thinkthat an athletewould putouthisutmosteffortforhisteamandthe fans. No one was happier for the Eagles when they acquiredRicky Watters than I was. My happiness quickly turned to disappointment after a dreadfulopening day. Watters admitted that he was not going out of his way to catch the football. When asked why he did not make an effort to catch the ball, Watters replied, ''Forwho? Forwhat?" Rickyyou havegot tobekidding. Forwho? Howaboutforthe fans and your teammates? For what? Maybe for the millions of dollars you signed to play for and, more importantly, for the love of the game. Now let's go 180degreestheotherway. Take Eric Lindrosof the Flyers. Granted, when he came into the league he was rightfullycriticiz.edfor not playingfor the Quebec Nordiques,the team that drafted him. But let's look at what he has done since his trade to the Flyers. lnhisfustseasonwiththeFlyers,I..mclm5 did not exactlyset the world on fire. He was also injuredfor a good portionof the season. In his second year he began to
progress. By last year, his third year, he had becomethe best in the league.Mostsuperstars, like Watters,do not like to play the roughand tumblestyleof play. They play a finessestyle,so their statisticsgo up and their injury time goesdown. Lindros is not one of these superstars. The only thing Llndroslikes to do more than scoregoals,is to delivera devastating bodycheck. Infact,Lindrosputs hisbody on thelinefor everyshift,knowingthatone of those hitscould end his season,or even his career. This year at the awards ceremony, Lindros won the Hart Trophy, as league MVP. When he accepted the trophy he criedbecausehefeltheletthefansdownby his perfonnance in the playoffs. That, Ricky Watters,is a stand-upguy. Lindros said in his speech,"We're getting better, and we're gonna do it." So far in preseason, Lindros has hit everythingin an opposingjersey. Keepin mindthat thisispreseason,and Lindros is not fighting for a spot on the team. He means businessthisyear, and if he is already this revved up in the preseason,it is scaryto thinkwhat he will be like when the season starts. As for Ricky Watters, take a look at Llndrosandtryto emulatehim. Flashdoes not win championships,hard work and dedicationdo. IfWattersworkedashardashebrags, he would most definitely enter the Football Hall of Fame at the end of his career. Don't hold your breath. While both of these players are grossly overpaid, at least Lindros feels compelled to try to earn his money. Watters feels compelled to spend his.
In Cabrini women's tennis, the term "love" does not necessarily mean "nothing." In fact these players possess a trait that is nearly extinct in an age where team Sports have become one-person shows. Contribution and constant support are the qualities that allow the women's tennis team to be successful. Having this philosophy paid off recently in Salisbury, Md. For the second straight year, the Lady Cavs were the Wesley College Tournament champions. The team headed into the tournament with an overall record of 3-1, and 2-0 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. After overcoming the initial shock of playing on carpeted courts, it was time to go to work. Their competition consisted of four teams: Chestnut Hill College, PAC competitor Beaver College, tournament host Wesley College and nationally-ranked Washington College. "We knew that Washington was going to be our challenge," Coach Reggie Day said. Washington was not only nationally ranked but also had nationally-ranked players. In singles play, junior Julie Wolen and sophomore Michelle Mcilvaine won all four of their matche. They played in a "round robin" fashion, meaning that all players who are seeded the same, play each other. Other singles standings included junior Patti Hillis, who went 2-2; senior Kim Scarborough, who went 3-1; junior Donna Schaeffer went 3-1 and sophomore Busakorn Chantasasawat also went 3-1. At the end of the first day of competition, the Lady Cavs were tied with Washington with 12 points each. Wesley Col-
lege was placed third with 10 points, and Chestnut Hill College and Beaver College were fading with distant fourth and fifth positions. "The doubles made the difference," Day said. In doubles competition Cabrini was seeded second and Washington College seeded first. Their first point, translating into a win, came by way of a by. Despite a team loss to Wesley College, the team of Schaeffer and Mcilvaine made it to the semi-finals, while the team of Hillis and Scarborough advanced to the finals. Schaeffer and Mcilvaine defeated Chestnut Hill 6-1, 3-6, 7-5, and Wesley 60, 6-4. However, they were defeated by Washington 6-1, 6-2. Hillis and Scarborough initially defeated Washington 6-1, 6-3 as well as Wesley 6-2, 2-6, 7-2. They too were defeated, this time in the finals against Washington 6-4, 6-0. Unfortunately for Washington College, their victories over Cabrini were not enough. The individual singles victories, along with doubles match wins and the point recieved from the bye, allowed the Lady Cavs to tack on an additional 12 points, adding to their overall total to 24 points, nipping Washington College with 23 points. With competition and fatigue becoming factors, the Lady Cavs went into the final four matches needing two victories to clinch the win. Although Scarborough won the deciding match against Wesley College 85, she is not taking all of the credit. "It takes a team to win a team tournament," Scarborough said. When asked about the opposing force of Washington College, she said, "It was intimidating, but we really didn't let it bother us." Scarborough said that without individual contribution and support, the team would
not have been able to win. Her comments serve as an example of how the Lady Cavs work for the benefit of their team, not just themselves. "One of beautiful concepts that these girls have is that they're all working together," Day said. He also mentioned how the team relies on themselves to win matches by keeping their"destiny" in their own hands. "If you have a situation where everyone does their best and you got players who have ability, you can't help but come out ahead," Day said. "A match wasn't won by one point," Hillis said. "It was won by everyone." Hillis also said their niche lies in the fact that the entire team is strong, not just the seeded players. The team can feel confident in knowing players can be called off the bench or rotated and perform well. She mentioned firs_t-year student players Michele McDevitt and Regina Lamberti as contributors to the ever-important role of giving support and encouragement. Schaeffer, Wolen, junior Stephanie Casinelli and senior Maura Wiswall all mentioned how it takes a team and a certain spirit to maintain focus and offer support in competition. "Tennis is a sport where you need everybody," Hillis said. Can the Lady Cavs continue their winning ways at the Rolex Tournament at Swarthmore College? . Coach Day cited an improved, higher level of play across the board, as well as strong leadership from senior players. Day cited these qualities as reasons why he believes that this is the best women's tennis team ever. "Everybody knows where Cabrini is on the map·now," Day said.

Cavs JV recordfirstvictoryof season: McAleerpowersteam withtwo goals by Adam Todd staff writer
Senior Shawn McAleer started and finished the game for the Cavs JV soccer team on Sept. 22 at Valley Forge Military Academy. McAleer scored the first and last goal for the Cavs who gained their first victory of the season 4-2. McAleer, the team's unofficial captain, opened up the game by scoring the team's first goal early in the first half. Utilizing his speed, McAleer split the defense and placed the ball past the goalkeeper on a break-away. According to McAleer, his speed is his biggest asset, not his skills. "I try to utilize my speed as much as possible. I can run like a jackrabbit," McAleer said. The Cavs, currently 1-21, scored their second goal when firstyear student Wayne Brown shot past the Cadets' goalie. Valley Forge fought back, bringing the score to 2-1. Brown scored again in the second half to give the Cavs a gained sense of confidence and a larger lead. McAleer was able to ice the game late in the second half, again utilizing his speed and the slippery wet weather conditions to again break away from Valley Forge's d-efense. Cavs' firstyear student goalie Jeff Sassaman gave up one more goal. However it was too late, as the Cavs had earned their first victory of the season. Sassaman seemed to be bothered by the inclement weather conditions more than bis teammates. "The weather did not seem to be a factor except with Jeff," junior Joe Morris said. "Bad weather often hurts goalies." Weather in fact may have helped some of Sassaman 's teammates, including McAleer. He claimed that the inclem-
ent weather helped him to utilize his speed and quickness. "I know which direction I am heading in and ca·n often make defensemen make mistakes. That is when I'm able to capitalize," McAleer said. Being able to use his head is another asset of McAleer's. "Being smart on and off the field can help players to achieve much more than they think is possible," McAleer said. McAleer said he knows that he cannot do the job alone. He needs the support of the whole team. "I compare this team to a group of actors," McAleer said. "The field is our stage and when we're on it, it's showtime." According to McAleer, every time the players step on the field, they are ready to play. The team thinks its record is not indicative of its play or effort. "We have no fear when we step on the field. We believe we can win every game we play," McAleer said, • Much of the team's attitude comes from 1994 graduate Marty Meenan. "I get a lot of my inspiration from Marty. I compare him to a young Vince Lombardi or John Wooden," McAleer said. While the above comparisons may be a bit exaggerated, it is clear that McAleer has a great respect for Meenan. It is intelligence and team play that help make McAleer a natural team leader. "Shawn assumes that role [leadership] well. He really enjoys it," Morris said. Using both mental and physical skills together make McAleer a complete player. When inclement conditions arise such as at Valley Forge,- he is able to use them to his advantage. Using the slippery conditions and knowing just when to cut away from defense men
have allowed McAleer to become the team's leading scorer. McAleer's main goal is to put the ball in the net. "I want to score whenever possible," _McAleer said, "We can't win games without scoring and I'm looking to help out whenever possible." Many of the younger players look up to McAleer for leadership and even as a role model. First-year student Paul Danaghy said, "Shawn is a good player with a lot of speed. He also really knows how to keep his cool on the field." While McAleer may seem like all business on the field, he knows how to enjoy himself. "He goes out there to have fun." Morris said. "That makes it a lot easier for
the rest of us to have fun." This is McAleer's last season for the Cavs' JV soccer team. "Due to the fact that I'm a senior, it is a very sentimental time on the field for me," McAleer said, "I'm really out to prove something." Respected by teammates, a leader on and off the field, McAleer will be sorely missed next season, perhaps not only for his speed and quickness, but more for his ease of humor and the way he brings the team together. According to McAleer, knowing that this is his last season has been a huge motivator for him. Perhaps this is what has led McAleer to give all that be has on and off of the field.

Lady Cavs suffertoughloss;rely on defenseto motivateoffense by StephanieCaldwell co-sports editor
The Lady Cavs soccer team lost its first Pennsylvania Athletic Conference game on Monday, Oct. 2, to Beaver College at home by a score of 5-3. However, according to Coach Dianne Pierangeli the score said little. "The score did not tell the whole story," Pierangeli said. "On any given day we could beat them and they could beat us." The Lady Cavs struggled in the first half. They started off slow and it cost them. The ball was shot by a Beaver player from the corner. It soared lazily between the post and goalkeeper Mandi Hopta, a junior, hit the other post and went in. The second goal was just as sloppy. Open Beaver players swarmed the area in
front of Hop ta and she was forced to come out of tJ,e net and challenge the ball. The ball slipped through Hopta ·as she hit the ground and with only one other defender

ter the game. McGowan was then forced out of the game with a hurt knee after colliding with a Beaver player. Her presence was definitely missed. While she was on the sidelines, Beaver scored two quick goals. Although the third goal may have been out of Hopta's reach, the fourth slipped through her hands as she challenged a Beaver player who was on a breakaway. Hopta then left the game after being kicked in the eye. First-year student Cris Pryor. took over the goalte,nding duties with the score 4-1. An aggressive game was being played. Beaver finished the game with eight fouls and one yellow card and Cabrini committed 16 fouls, 13 in the second half alone. With 15 minutes left in the game, senior Dana Mills scored her third goal of the season, assisted by junior Nancy Kraus. Beaver answered with its fifth and final goal of the game when a hard shot hit off McGowan to record the Lady Cavs first the foot of Pryor, who had no real chance goal. of making the save. The Lady Cavs tried to battle back and , "I'd rather be back on defense, but understood the move," McGowan said af- got their third goal from first-year student
"The team gave up goals that shouldn't have been given up," assistant coach Chris Ranft said. At halftime, Pierangeli gathered her players and had these words of wisdom. "You got to play tougher. You have to be aggressive," Pierangeli said. "You don't have anything to lose now." With that in mind, the Lady Cavs took the field with a new look to the line-up. Pierangeli moved sophomore defensive standout Michele McGowan from her original sweeper position to center halfback. The Lady Cavs had to think 9ffense. "I had to move Michele up. It's a definite threat to have Dana [Mills], Nancy [Kraus] and Michele up there together," Pierangeli said. Pierangeli's plan worked. McGowan recorded her first goal of her career at Cabrini. First-year student Kelli Williams placed a direct kick perfectJy in front of the opposition's net. Beaver's keeper came out and went down which allowed
Nicole Melino, assisted by Mills. But it was too late. The Lady Cavs out shot Beaver 10-9 despite the loss. "We just couldn't catch up," Ranft said. Although the Lady Cavs showed a lot of hustle in the second half, their lack of enthusiasm and slow start in the first half hurt them. "We have always been a strong second half team," Ranft said. "We need to learn to be a strong first half team as well." Along with Mills and McGowan, sophomore Cara Santelli, ·despite an injury, had a solid game_sm defense and senior Lisa Belano and junior Amy Hummel both played well. First-year student Marisa 1\-ane,who plays defense, als<;> hustled for the Lady Cavs. "We hustled. We just let opportunities slip by us," Kane said. Although the Lady Cavs lost their first PAC game of the season, Pierangeli was able to speak positively to her players when she gathered them together after a tough loss.
"You didn't give up," Pierangeli said. "You did fight to the end."
