Successful grad navigates students on the road of communications by Laura Testa news editor
He came bearing a message to all who would listen: be flexible, work hard, think ahead and fast, and be willing to work long hours. He warned that communications, in any form, is not a business for the weak. He gave advice for everything from internships and co-ops to professionalism. He is Steve Highsmith, a 1988 Cabrini graduate from the communications department. Highsmith is currently a Channel 17 Inquirer News Tonight anchor. He has returned to Cabrini to share his past experiences, give advice, an_dto be honest about the field of journalism. Approximately 85 students attended Highsmith's speech given on Tuesday,
Oct. 10 in the Widener Center Lecture Hall. The speech "'.as sponsored by the English and communications department, which regularly provides speakers to help guide students in the major, as weJl as those outside of the major. He talked about the O.J. Simpson case and how any person believing- in the American justice system must believe in the verdict. He reminded the audience that the jury did the best it could with theinformation that it had. Highsmith s.poke about his experiences as news director of WCAU radio and as a New Jersey public television news anchor. He warned about the pitfalls of journalism and told the audience to take advantage of every opportunity as it presented itseJf. According to Highsmith,

one of the major sacrifices he had to make for his job was having to move from place to place. This, however,_ was a sacrifice that he was willing to make. "Be proud of everything you do, even if what you are doing is taking out the trash," Highsmith said. He spoke about ethics and reminded the audience that everyone had to live with themselves. "Expose yourself to as many things as- possible, make contacts and use all your assets," Highsmith said. "Networking is key." He answered questions from the.audience and promised to speak to students individually after his speech. "The best advice I can give is work hard, but enjoy what you do," Highsmith said, "whatever you do."

Carnage: Cavaliersslain Prejudgingothers: onthe'information superhighway The body count is staggering on the information superhighway. • Those who are not qualified enough to even approach the on ramp are being plowed down by millions of others. Could one of the many fatalities be a Cabrini ~ollege student? ~ Out of 75 students polled, 32 felt they were not properly prepared for life in a computerized worl<l'bythis institution. ralk about "standing out from the crowd," it is more like being "left behind." The same survey revealed that 34 s~dents felt there are not enough computers available for student use on campus. We are putting our Cavaliers out into the world totally unarmed, while the rest of the world has the skills it needs to compete. But the real question is "Do the students of this institution really care about their computer skills, or lack thereof?" The computer competency choices of this college are word processing, elementary database and elementary spreadsheet. These classes, in relation to preparing people for the future, are irrelevant. On some computers one can click on an icon and have a spreadsheet created. In addition to that, 39 students questioned already tool~word processing, spreadsheets and databasing in high school, only to have to take it again once they arrive here. Most of the computer users of this institution only use the computers we do have for Word Perfect to complete papers or homework assignments. If students think that printing papers with page numbers and correct margins is the only thing they need to know after .;;;;;~=--,gra.dua.tioq, then they are sorely mistaken. This editorial is not meant to kick the college or its students while they are down; but to alert the·college community of a pending disaster. The disaster being the churning out of students that are unable to compete in this technologically savvy world.

OnMay31,lboardedaplanewitb threesuit cases,packedwith enough appropriateclothesto wear to work, andclothesthatI couldwearwhennot working. I also needed to pack the same thingsthatyouwouldbringwhenyou go away to college. Excited and scared at the same time,I couldnotwaitto anive inColorado. Aftera fourhourplaneride,I finally arrivedin Colorado,but during my journey my luggagewas lost.l was nowin a statewhereI knewnooneand had no luggage.I just hopedthatmy luggagewouldarrivesoon. Duringmy threemonthstay,I lived at the trainingcenter where athletes who are trainingto go to the 1996 CentennialGamesinAtlantaaretraining everyday. It was quitean experienceto wake up everymorningand be in the same areaastheseathleteswhowere training to go to theOlympics. Itwas almostlikelivingina dream. Here 1was workingfor the Olympic Committeeas an intern,a job that I neverthoughtI wouldbe granted. Soonaftermyarrival,I metupwith theotherpeoplewhoI wouldbe living withfor the nextthreemonths. Theywereallcollegestudents from
around the United States, but many were in the processof receivingtheir master's degrees.I could not believe that I was the youngestperson.It was hard al times,but soon everyonebecame a big familyanq we did everythingas a big group. E.achof us quicklylearnedthatwe each workedfor a differentNational GoverningBody under the Olympic Committee.TheoneI workedforwas theUnitedStatesAssociationforBlind Athletes,otherwiseknownasUSABA USABAis a nonprofitmemberof theU.S.OlympicCommitteethattrains blindandvisuallyimpairedathletesfor nationalandinternationalcompetition innine sports.

I was very skepticalof just what theseathletescoulddo sincetheywere blindorvisuallyimpaired.Butlleamed very quickly,the first day I started work,thattheseathletescouldperform just as well as an ablebodiedathlete. Theyjust neededa littleguidance. Onlyfourdaysintomy internship, r was toldI would have to work that weekendata trackandfieldmeet.I did not knowwhat I couldpossiblydo at thiseventsinceI reallyknewverylittle aboutthissport.But,somehow,I needed to figureit out by 8 a.m. the nextday. Scaredthat I couldnot evencomplete the first assignmentthat l was given, I asked two amputeeathletes who were goingto be participatingat thismeet,to helpme. Theyexplainedto me thedifferent eventsathleteswouldbecompetingin and howto recordtimesin AP styJe.I was a littlemore confidentof what I was goingtohave to do.1boardedthe bus and wentto the meet.

I learnedveryquickly, afterintroducingmyselfto some of these athletes, thattheywerejust as scaredas I was,but thattheywerebuildingup the courageto actuallycompete. The lastguywho I introducedmyself to was GarlandBurress.BeforeI even had the opportunityto teU him who1was,he saidto me,"Why canI seeso mu.chfearin youreyes?Youare not the one who is competingtoday." He trulymademe feelso comfonableandtherewasno reasonI couldnot dothisjob.I stillwonder,fora guywho wasblind,howwas he ableto tellthat I had so muchfearin my eyes? WhileI was able to completethis eventwithouta problem,I alsolearned a lotaboutmyselfthatI wasableto use for my ~mainingtimein Colorado. Whilethepeoplewho Imet andthe experiencesthatl was a part of were things that I never would have dreamed of, I really did do them. HavingdinnerwiththeDenverBroncos on the 50 yard line in Mile High Stadium,beinga part of the opening ceremoniesat the OlympicFestival, bein ecel • y • was announcedthat Salt Lake City would host the 2002WinterGames. Thesewereall memorableevents and ones that I will never forget, especiallythe memory of spending three months with athleteswho are training for the Olympics and becoming friendswith them. I have also learned that the athletes who are training for the summer games in Atlanta are just like everyoneelse,but theywant towin a gold medal.And hopefullyI will be able to be in Atlanta with my new friendsand watch them competefor the gold.
Corrections In the tennis article,Pattie Hillis' name was misspelled. She was also identified as a junior when she is a senior. In the "Mother Ursula celebrates" photo caption, Sr. Mary Sullivan was incorrectly identified as Sr. Mary Scullion. We regret the errors.

Galileo:geniusat work by Kevin Eppler staff writer
Ignoranceis bliss and certainty is comfort. This statement seems to guide the people of the past, and even the present, like a religion. And like the people of today, the community leaders of Galileo's time are apparently also guided by that philosophy. The People's Light & Theatre Company makes this point very clear with its brilliant production of Bertolt Brecht's "The Life of Galileo," running from Sept. 20 throughOct. 15. Approximately15 minutes away, just off Route 30, the People's Light & Theatre Company rests hidden, but not undiscovered. In that small theatre, "The Life of Galileo" is brought·10 life and transportsthe audience to the dawn of the 17th century and to the dawn of science as people know it today. At the heart of historical scientific experiment and discovery, resides Galileo Galilei. Tom Teti's ·portrayal of Galileo granted the audience the pleasure of watching the genius who is Galileoat work. Teti pulls the audience to the edge of its seat, anxiously awaiting to envisionhistory's development. The brilliantcombinationof Brecht's writing, Ken Marini's directing and Teti's acting brings Galileo to life in a quaint theater only minutes away. Otherqualitiesincludebeautifulauthenticcostumes,a gotI:ncsetmarvelouslyaccentuatedby a brilliantgroundplanand talentedsupportingactors.Althoughsomelackdepthandclearmotivation, most of the supportingroles grow on the audienceand help accent the narrow-minded thoughtsand beliefsof Galileo'stime.

Brancusi'sart bursts ontothe Phi"lly scene by Chris Lomanno staff writer
An unparalleled exhibit of the work of one of the most highly regarded and influential sculptors of the twentieth century premiered on Oct. 8. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is the only setting in the United States for this rare opportunity to explore more than 180 sculptures, drawings and photographs by Rumanian artist, Constantin Brancusi. The collection has been gathered from museums in France, Romania, Japan, the United States and Australia. However, France will be the only other country to host the exhibit. The work of Brancusi, 1876-1957, has not been the focus of a major retrospective • inoveraquarterofacentury. Hisearlywork was meant to bypass what was considered to be over-sophisticated Western art. He looked toward more ancient non-Western cultures for inspiration in his technique of direct carving as a reaction against the Western tradition of modeling and casting in plaster or bronze. Brancusi's interest in hand-carved detail is clearly conveyed in the piece, "Torment [II]." This sculpture, circa 1907, is done in bronze and vividly depicts a. grief-stricken individual. One of his most recognizable works, "The Kiss," a sculpture done in stone, comes from the same time period. This piece shows from a side profile, using the cubist style, a man and woman kissing with their arms tightly wrapped around one another. "The Kiss" is a tribute to a young woman who committed suicide as a result of a bad love affair. As an example of the magnitude of this exhibit to art lovers all around the world, 83year-old artist Al Giella flew into Philadelphia from Tucson, Ariz., with bis wife and two daughters, solely for this occasion. Giella called Brancusi the greatest sculptor of the century and said, "The reason be is not the greatest artist of his time is because he lived in the same century with Picasso." &:hoing the sentiment that Brancusi was interested in a non-Western type of sculpture, Giella said, "His work greatly reflects a familiarity with African sculpture, particularly in the bases." photos courtesy of the PhiladelphiaMuseum of Masumi Hayashi, an art professor at CleveArt land State University, was in town for the Photos shown are of Brancusi's exhibit weekend putting on an art show of her own. at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. "Brancusi was a very influential modernist,"
Hayashi said, ''who had a powerful ability to simplifythe form inpiecessuch as 'The Kiss.' " Further evidence of his ability to simplify the fonn is presented by American Weekly in the March 13, 1927issue. The article describes a controversy between the United States government and the sculptor. Customs officials took a hard look at a polished piece of bronze that had been imported as a work of art and therefore should have been free of duty. The sculpture, "Bird in Space," was then taxed $240,just the same as an ash tray would be, bec.ause it did not seem like art to the officials. The money was not the issue, the significance to the artist was establishing this so·called piece of bronze as a work of art. The piece was taken before the U.S. Customs Court and art experts were provided as witnesses to testify as to what made this work art. One expert commented on Brancusi's reputation as a sculptor, while others testified as to what makes art. "lf it pleases your sense of beauty," scu Iptor Jacob Epstein said, "it is art." "It meant the spirit of joyous flight to Brancusi," William Henry Fox, director of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, said, "and he associated it in bis imagination with a bird.'' Brancusi 's originality represented a radical departure from nineteenth century sculpture. This originality set him apart from being cast into any particular school or movement. Some of his later works, such as "Sleeping Mu e," "Mademoiselle Pogany," and more specifically, "Bird in Space," reflect his development as an artist. According to Giella, these works are not abstract at all. ''Brancusi always worked from an idea," Giella said. "He always had an emotion in mind when creating." Specifically, the exhibition consists of90 sculptures, 30 drawings and 50 photographs. It has been organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and is running from Oct. 8 to Dec. 31. The exhibit is supported in part by grants from The Pew Charitable Trusts and The National Endowment for the Arts. Admission to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is free before 1 p.m. Sunday.

Skimming across the waters, water-skiing barefoot in her spare time, at 42 mph comes the newest member of the English· and communications department. Donnalyn Pompper, corporate communication professor, has just been hired by Cabrini as a full-time faculty member and the current adviser of 20 students enrolled in the accelerated-degree program. She is also on the Cabrini Day committee, and if that is not enough, Pompper is working toward a doctorate in mass media from Temple. Pompper received a full scholarship to Glassboro State College.(now, Rowan College), but not before taking a year off. She returned with work as the main objective. As a sophomore, she was an intern in public relations and journ'alism, which developed into a job for Cam Glow County as a budding journalist. 1n her junior year, she worked as a stringer for The Carrier Post in Camden, N.J., at the night desk. From there she networked her way into being a freelance writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer. According to Pompper, networking is the key to finding

PopepreachestoAmerica'-s faithful by Angela Mattioni staff writer
He came to bring his message and his voice was heard by the world. While some Americans watched from stadium seats, others watched the news footage of his word from their living rooms. One might think of Michael Jackson, but no, Pope John Paul II arrived in America on Oct. 4 and left on Oct. 8 after a five-day whi lwind tour. Americans watched the. pageantry and fuss over this 75-year-old man in a long white gown and white satin skullcap. Many might not understand how a person could wait over 10 hours outside of a baseball stadium in cold soaking rain for what is really only a far-off view of a white speck. But for 82,948 faithful, standing in the rain in Giants stadium was a small price to pay to watch the Pontiff pass shrouded by several inches of bulletproof glass in his
special Popemobile waving a blessing. During the Aqueduct service in New York, about 75,000 people sweated in near-record temperatures and some 160 people required medical treatment, many of tliem e@erly, mostly for heat exhaustion. But the faithful were not the only ones who saw and listened to his words, The Pope met with President Clinton and addressed the United Nations during his visit speaking of morality and the responsibility of the mighty to the meek. He also called for Americans to continue their openness to immigrants and their support of the poor. Although on past trips the Pope has often focused on preventing the trend toward liberal viewpoints on sexuality and abortion, his main focus during this visit seemed to be warning Catholics against the rising movement toward America isolating itself, as Americans seem to place the blame of many

ThePopespokeofthe United Stated as a "hospitable society, a welcoming culture," and condemned isolation, as being against "the very essence of the American experience, " as quoted in The New York Times. Still, though, the Pope returned to his condemnation of abortion, one of the major fixed points of his papacy. He continued to insist that Catholics defend the rights of the unborn, just as they have defended the rights of the defenseless in the past. The Pope also offered encouragement to would-be priests as he addressed seminarians during his visit to St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers. He impressed upon them the intense need for their work, as he described the current culture as one of "flight from God, a culture
which displays a not-so-hidden contempt for human lives, beginning with the lives of the unborn, and extending to contempt for the frail and elderly," as quoted in The New York Times. He stated they must be strong in their convictions in a materialistic culture, yet still remain compassionate. Pope John Paul ll has become the ~ost traveled Pope in history, with a record of 68 trips to 112 countries in a 17-year reign. But only a visit to America would produce such items as T-shirts, pins, banners, baseball hats, key rings, flags, limited edition milk caps (pogs) and even temporary papal tattoos. Such is the way that a nation's culture profits from the presence of greatness. But for many, the visit was not about profit or politics. It was a renewal of faith, hope and love for the world through one powerful man's message.

Out of Playing bounds smart on and off the court by Stephanie Caldwell
co-sports editor
I never thought I could have writer's block when it came to my own opinion about sports. I was wrong. I spent hours getting nothing accomplished. I hatethat. Andthenitcameto me. When I was least expecting it, somethingI had struggledwith forhours came to me in only two minutes. I was sitting in the Xavier Great Room listening to a talk about AIDS. Right in front of me was a woman who was HIV positiveand was livingto talk about it All of a sudden I knew what I could write about. Do you see the connection? Well, l did as soon as "she" said she had a desire to live, not only for herself but for her family as well. I turned this experienceof mine into a strongopinionabout athletesand their desires to play the game. There have been professional athleteswho have testedpositivewith the HIV virus, such as "Magic" Johnson and Greg Louganis, and those who have died from it, suchas ArthurAshe. When theywere forcedout of the game. they lovebecauseof the deadlydisease, they chose to ~ out and educate othersaboutAIDS. Thesamedriveand desire thatled them to the courtand the pool everyday allowed them to get out ofbedeachmomingafterleaming they were infected. However, I do not mean for this articleto sound like a lecture on AIDS, but maybe an inspiration that desire aloneis enough to motivatea person,or athlete. Sitting in that lecture hall with only about 12 other people, I did not really know what to expect. 1was ready to be depressedbut not expectingto make an article out of it. "She" had so much desire to live, to not let the disease get the better of her. Athletes, too, have a desire. They have a desireto play a game. They have a desireto compete. They have a desire to win. And when that desire is no longer there, the athlete takes himself out of the game and lives the rest of his life at peace. • "She" is competing with this disease, fighting it everyday. "She" is destined to beat the odds, to win. But "she" also knows that when that desire to live is no longer there, she will go peacefully,knowing she fought to the end. The athlete plays not only for himself, but for his team as well. He wants towin for hirnselfbutmoreforhis team. It takes a team to make it through the game, they win as a team and Lose a team. "She" also fights not only for herself, but for her "team," her family,her children. This is something they will battle together,somethingthey will get through as a unit. We all have a desirethat motivates us to performto the best of our abilities. The game we play does not matter,the battle is stilltiringand the desireto fight is a must Without the desire,the game is easily lost

The players of the Cabrini women's volleyball team, along with their parents, had something extra to be proud of during Family Weekend. The 11 in attendance found that athletic and academic excellence go hand-in-hand. In addition to a decisive 3-0 vi~tory against •Cedar Crest College on Saturday, Sept. 30, the Lady Cavs took time to be recognized for an honorable distinction. Before the games, athletic director John Dzik presented the team with certificates of distinction, honoring them for having the second highest team cumulative grade point average in the nation with a 3.53. Eight members of the team were honored individually for contributing to this achievement. They were seniors Jen Paliaro, Rowena Rutherford, Stephanie Eberhardt,juniors Maria Lattanzio, Tracey Eagan, Dawn Johnson, Amy Mollenkof and sophomore Colleen Adair. Veronica Pirollo, who graduat_edlast year, was also honored. • The Lady Cavs headed into the game with an overall record of 8-9. They had defeated Cedar Crest in their last meeting with a 2-0 win at the Rosemont College Tournament. The Lady Cavs jumped out early in the first game. They had scored three points before Cedar Crest scored their first. Although Cedar Crest fought back and tied Cabrini with seven points a piece, the Lady Cavs pulled ahead and won game one by a score of 15-9. The only cause for concern came in game two when Cedar Crest attempted to build on an early lead. They were up 5-2 before the Lady Cavs scored four straight points to pull out in front 6-5. From this point on Cabrini did not look back. They had built their lead to five by the first time-out in game two with a score of 12-7. They eventually won the second game 15-8. With a two-game cushion, the Lady Cavs headed into game three. When the first time-out of this game had been called, Cabrini had taken a comfortable 10-4 lead. A short time later, the Lady Cavs finished their work with a game three victory of 15-8. With a 3-0 sweep, they acquired their ninth victory of the year and improved their winning percentage to .500. "We played our level of volleyball and not Cedar Crest's level," Coach Jim Harrigan said. In addition to mentioning how this mentality allowed them to win, Harrigan said that it was good for the players to have a win at home as well as in front of their parents. "As long as we play together we're fine," first-year student Cynthia Macedo said. "It's when we start playing as individuals that we mess up." "We were digging the ball real well," Mollenkof said. "[We were] passing it right up to the center and putting it away." Adair mentioned how the team did things in this game thatit did not do in others. S.hecited ·"working together, a Lotof talking and a Lotof calls for the ball" as some of those things. Adair also said how digging in and excitement made this one of the team's better games. The team's next challenge comes on Saturday, Oct. 14, with the Cabrini Fall Classic.

Lady Cavs victorious over Frostburg State by Stephanie Sarosky staff writer
Set to defend their Pennsylvania Athletic Conference title this year, the Lady ~avs soccer team dominated Frostburg, winning 2-0 on Saturday, Sept. 30. The Lady Cavs now stand 2-3 overall in this season. Junior Nancy .Krausscored the first goal of the game, which was assisted by firstyear student Nicole Melino. At the end of the first half Cabrini was winning 1 - 0. Senior Dana Mills scored the second and final goal of the game in the second half. The goal was assisted by Kraus. These goals gave the Lady Cavs a solid victory. The team is led by captains Kraus and junior Stephanie Caldwell. Caldwell is out for the season due to an injury. Still attending the games, she gives support to the team from the sidelines. "Caldwell is a morale booster for the team. She is like amother to all the players, helping them in any way,'' Coach Dianne Pierangeli said. "She especially helps all the new players feel comfo~able." "Caldwell is always there helping out on the sidelines at the games," first-year student Marisa Kane said. Kraus also shows great leadership skills. "Kraus is going to have an excellent season," Pierangeli said. "Kraus is a born leader. She is great on the field and very ambitious,'' Kane said. The team is benefiting greatly this year with the return of three All Conference players from last year. They are Kraus,

Playing offense mid-field position, she has played only a few times in the season because of her injury. "Dougherty is a great as.setto the team and I wish I could play hermore,"Pierangeli said. During the games, the goalie, junior Mandi Hopta, is well protected by the defense. First-year student Kelli Williams plays fullback for the defense. "We played a smart game. We made Frostburg come after us, giving us control of the ball a lot," Williams said. "McGowan controls and directs the defense by helpingus mark any open playerson the field," Williams said. "McGowanismybestskilledplayeronthe team," Pierangelisaid. ''We all played a relaxed and smoothly controlledgameagainstFrostburg,"Kanesaid. Sophomore Cara Santelli is proving to have a good season with her talented playing skills. Playing with a quad strain, she holds the defensive back position of the field. "Santelli is a key player with her aggressive playing skills,'' Pierangeli said. "Our true test will be against the PAC teams, who we believe are all beatable teams," Pierangeli said.

Broad Street Boys are ready for action: . The Flyers prepare to build 9n last season's success by Justin Mirigllanl co-sports editor
"We're getting better and we're gonna do it." That was the last line in Flyers' Eric Lindros' speech after he won the Hart Trophy as league MVP. From the looks of things so far this season, Lindros' promise could come true this year .. Last year the Flyers made the playoffs for the first .time in five years. They won the Atlantic Division title and came within two games of a trip to the Stanley Cup finals. This year the Flyers made some off season moves to get them over that final playoff rung. The Flyers signed defensive-forward Joel Otto from the Calgary Flames. Otto will be used as a third line center, who will neutralize the other teams' leading scorers. Otto will also be counted on to add some scoring for the tliird line. Otto stands 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs about 230 pounds. Otto's size at center will take a lot of pressure off ofLindros. The Flyers also added goaltender Garth
Snow· as the third goalie. The team reacquired defenseman Kjell Samuelsson from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Samuelsson adds a lot of size to an already large defense. Samuelsson is teaming up with Chris Therien as the "twin towers." Both men stand well over 6 feet tall and both weigh over 225 pounds. The Flyers made other moves in the offseason. • They traded defenseman Dimitri Yushkevi~h for a first and a fourth round draft pick.· They resigned John LeClair to a new contract. They also renegotiated contracts with Kevin Haller and Eric Desjardins. For the most part, the nucleus of the team is still intact. The big line of Mikael R~nberg, John LeClair and Eric Lindros make up one of the most explosive lines in the entire National Hockey League. So far this season they have picked up right where they left off. All three players scored goals in the 7-1 season opening win at Montreal. The same was true· for the second•line. Rod
Brind' Amour, BrentFedyk and PatrickJuhlin all scored in the game. Juhlin and Brind' Amour both picked up a goal and two assists in the game. • The knock against the Flyers was thl!t they did not get enough scoring from the second and third lines. Brind' Amour is a proven scorer. Fe~yk has 20-goal potential. The Flyers real hopes are for Juhlin. Juhlin has shown flashes of brilliance, and he will be counted on to pick up much of the scoring slack this season. Veterans such as Otto, Craig MacTavish, Kevin Dineen and Rob DiMaio will be asked to provide leadership, strong checking and occasional scoring. The defense is strong. Carl Dykhus and Therien each have a year under their belts. Desjardins, Samulesson, Kevin Haller and Petr Svoboda round out the defense. This defense unit has a contrast of speed, size and strong puck movement. The Flyers have an overload of goaltenders. Ron HextaU will be the starter.

The Flyers are hoping that he will provide them with the same strong goaltending that he did last year, with Dominic Roussel and Garth Snow as the back-ups. The Flyers are definitely looking to move one of the goaltenders to pick up a scoring winger. Roussel is rumored to be the lilcely candidate. The draft picks acquired in the Yuskevich trade could be used as trade bait along with Roussel in an upcoming trade. If the second and third lines do not produce at an acceptable level, a trade will be a strong likelihood. The Flyers and general manager Bob Clarke did not make a lot of major moves in the off-season. They did however, make moves to fill holes that prevented them from winning a Stanley Cup last season. Besides the team's improvement on paper, the players have gained invaluable experience from last year's playoff run. The Flyers are hoping to build on the success they had last year. If they can build on that success, they may be able to keep the. Cup in the East. _

Cavs settle for tie against Misericordia; Teal puts home only goal in second overtime by Adam Todd staff writer They say tying is like kissing your sister. Well kissing your sister leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and the men's soccer team knows that taste all too well. The Cavs met Mi-sericordia on Saturday, Sept. 30 and both teams left the field without improving their records. Both teams fought a rough defensive game through two halves of play. However, at the end of regulation, the game was exactly where it had begun, 00. While both teams played superior defense, the Cavs' offense stalled. "We've had trouble putting the ball in the net all year long," Cavs' sophomore goalie Anthony Noel said.

Bryn Mawr College came in first place;LincolnUniversitytook second place; and Stockton University took third; Although the women did not furnish a team, the men did. They were lead by first-yearstudentsand captains Joe Uff and Bill Gibson. In the last two weeks, Uff has placed. This week was a different story. Uff is Ca~rini's best runner with unbelievable times. Running beside Uff is Gibson. He has never run before, but his lack of experience is not showing mainly due to his work ethic. He is running five miles a day.

''lbis year finishingin the top 2.5is a workable goal." According to O'Hora, one thing thata new runningteamhas towod. on is pacing. According to some of the men, cross country is, in a large part, a mental game. Runners may not see a person for at least 20 minutes. They have to be focused on what they are doing.
