PERSPECTIVES

Stop beinga paw_n ... Useyourvoicetovote Imagine being forever. controlled. We do not have a voice. There is a higher power making all of our important life decisions for u_s. Well, this is no nightmare or a science-fiction plot gone • haywire; this is the state of most 18- to 24-year-olds in the United States. This is the age bracket of those with the lowest voting percentage. When we let the "powers that be" decide our fate for us by not registering and voting, we are reducing ourselves to mere pawns on their chess board. The Democratic party has accused the Republicancontrolled Congress of working to make drastic cuts in student loans, national service and scho_larships.For students in college, money will always be an important issue.Regardless, if this is fact or just political backbiting, we people need to familiarize ourselves with the platforms of both parties and then vote for the party with our best interest in mind. When we register to vote, we cannot make the mistake of just voting for the face seen the most on the television or the candidate with the catchiest slogan. We must use our vote as our voice in this democratic government. When we vote, not just in the mayoral or pres\dential elections, but in all elections, we are sending a message to the "powers that be" that we will not be manipulated, we do have a voice and we are the only ones that will be making our life decisions.

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

College loans burden students by Laura Testa news editor Borrowing for a college loan is quickly becoming a major financial hardship for many American families. The open doors of opportunities are quickly being closed for many people. In 1990 alone, college students and their parents have gone more than $100 billion in debt. That is as mnch as students borrowed in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s combined, according to a recent study published in The Philadelphia Inquirer. The average student debt, accumulated during four or five years of college, rose from $4,675 in 1990 to $8,474 in 1993. Back in 1980, the average was $2,500. In the 1990s, the rate of borrowing has increased four times as fast as personal incomes,

according to a study by the Institute for Higher Learning. According to the same study, the record $24 billion borrowed in 1995 alone will more than double by the year 2000. The rise in tuition and the fading of grants as the prime source of student aid is at the source of the rise in borrowing, Ted Freeman, president of the Education· Resource Institute, said in its annual report. In the reports Freeman also said he feels that the unlimited borrowing is part of the problem. The result is an increasing anxiety among students and families who place a growing importance on a college education. According to Freeman, borrowing is rising the fastest among minorities and nontraditional students. "The real problem is that the

neediest people are still having to borrow," Freeman told The Philadelphia Inquirer. It now costs about $30,000 a year to attend elite universities like University of Pennsylvania, about $10,000 to attend private and Catholic colleges and universities like Cabrini and $5,000 to attend state schools like Penn State University. According to a poll by the Education Resource Institute, 87 percent of all students said that college costs would soon be out of reach. In the face of increasing tuitions and decreasing loans, students are now forced to fight for their education and their future. "I'm receiving a lot of aid," first-year student Victor Sgro said. "Without it, I wouldn't be going here right now."

Political parties clash over access to higher education by Laura Testa news editor In recent months, the Democratic party has accused the Congressional majority of working to make drastic cuts in student loans, national service and scholarships. "The cuts will jeopardize the future of students and make an education unobtainable for many Americans," according to a letter sent out to colleges from President Clinton. Congressman Curt Weldon of the 7th District in Pennsylvania responded by calling the recent accusations a "horror story" and a "misunderstanding." According to Weldon, in a letter sent to Loquitur, the rumors are just untrue. According to Weldon, the Republican plan will save taxpayers $1.5 billion. Under his plan, "No students will lose eligibility or access to student loans." In his letter, Clinton promised to do everything in his power to fight the cuts and "see that the American dream of higher education remains real for all Americans." Clinton's 10-year budget increases education and aid to students by $40 billion while balancing the budget in 10 years. In three years, Clinton's plan promises to cut the deficit nearly in half, from $290 billion to $160 billion. Clinton admits that his plan will take more time to balance the budget, but he calls it "a small price to pay to keep scholarships, student loans and national service safe and well." Key Points in the Clinton plan: ti' Increase funding for Pell Grants by $3.4 billion. Almost

one million more students would benefit from scholarships. The top reward would be raised to $3,128 by the year 2002. ti' Expand Americorps to let even more young Americans serve their communities and go to college. ti' Protect our direct-lending program, which makes student loans more affordable, with more repayment options, and saves taxpayers, parents and students billions of dollars. ti' Provides nearly 50,000community service and college aid opportunities next year. ti' Retains federal interest subsidies and a six-month grace period after graduation for loans to all eligible students. Key Points in the Republican plan: ti' Increases the maximum Pell Grant to award $2,240 per student. ti' Increases the available amount of student loans from $6.6 million to $7.1 million in 1996. ti' Students will continue to have six months after graduation before they start to pay back their loans. The only proposed change is that interest will start to accumulate during this period, and the interest would be repaid over the entire span of the loan. ti' Elimination of Clinton's Direct Student Loan program. Republicans believe that this will save taxpayers $1.5 billion and do away with unneeded government bureaucracy. The goal of both sides is to balance the budget. The final decision is yet to be determined. Students,parents and faculty can voice their views in the upcoming November elections.

'Scratch and Sniff' makes big splash in the Cloud by Thomas McKee staff writer

Although comparisons to. "Sat- urday Njght Live" are inevitable, there is one major difference ~tween the late-night sketch show and Cabrini's own television comedy, "Scratch and Sniff." "Scratch and Sniff" makes people laugh. The variety show, which premiered on Sunday, Oct. 22, in the Red Cloud Coffeehouse, is written, acted, directed and produced by the Advanced Video Class of Cathy Yungmann, assistant professor of English and communications. Each show lasts between 10 and 15 minutes and consists of three separate segments. The shows are comprised of a skit, commercial breaks and a music video. Each segment is directed by a different group of students. The class works on a rotating schedule so that only three of the five groups are working each week. The name "Scratch and Sniff' was suggested by junior Jim Carracappa during a brainstorming session of which the entire class was a part. The most recent episode, shown on Monday, Oct. 30, featured the directing work of sophomore Mirella Adessi, junfors Joe Marturano, Paul Marturano and Chris Sparacino. Members of the class said they are pleased with the way things have turned out. "It's good to have original work that gets feedback from a wide variety of people," junior Rob Marish said. "It's an original show that's being made for everyone, not just our professor." "It's the ultimate creative outlet," Paul Marturano said. Junior Chris Schmid likes the fact that Yungmann does not censor the students' work. "This is the best," Schmid said. "This class is different in the fact that we are told what to do, but not how to do it." The second segment, which was shown as a prelude to the movie, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," was viewed by approximately 30 people, down significantly from the 125 people who saw the premiere just one week before. "It wasn't as good as the first one," first year student Dave Jurkiewicz said, "but it was still funny." "What I liked most about it," sophomore Mia Fitzgerald said, "is that it was students from Cabrini havmg a good ttm.,. I reullv enJoyed it."

A changeof pace at Champs by Monica Scaramuzza layout & design editor

Driving down Rol;}te 70 in Marlton, NJ, I wondered ifl would be able to find my destination. But as I approached that famous landmack, Olga's Diner, I was assured by a sea of white lights that I had found Champs. I was told by friends to arrive early because of the usual long lines of people waiting to get in the door. This particular Saturday night was no exception. At 9:30 p.m. there were at least 50 people standing outside around a tree decorated with the same white lights that adorn the interior of Champs. I waited 25 minutes before I could even get close to the bouncer. I waited another 10 minutes for more people to leave and make room inside for the rest of us. Having spent the better part of the last hour watching people through the windows as they conversed, laughed, and consumed

snacks and beverages, I was anxious to get inside, and prepared to battle the crowds. As I suspected, I had to stand shoulder to .shoulder with those around me for the next three hours. But I'd have to say that it was a pleasant experience. It was a mixed, but mostly young, crowd whose intent was simply to enjoy a few drinks and socialize with friends. For the population of males there, who made up about 80 percent of the group, catching the game on television was an added interest. The service was an added plus. We did.not have to waste any time waiting in line at the bar because there were plenty of servers available. 'And once they took your order, they were back to you within minutes. Champs restaurant and bar provides the perfect atmosphere. It is well lit so that you can see the people around you. There is great music playing, but it is not so loud

that you can not hear the person you are speaking with. And there are ample television screens to provide all sports, all the time. So right now you're probably thinking that you can find this kind of entertainment anywhere on the Main Line. Why go all the way to New Jersey? If cheap drinks are what you're after, then I'll have to admit that this is not the place. But, if you're in the market for a change of pace, head on down to Champs. Get there early and grab a bite to eat. You can enjoy casual or fine dining by choosing your favorite dish from the menu featuring everything from nachos to New York strip steaks. Or, if you're just looking to hang out, check out the bar. Champs has something different going on every night of the week. Monday nights mean football to just about every American from Sept. to Jan., and Champs is always tuned in with your favorite

beer on tap and an open kitchen. Tuesdays have featured Bingo in the past, but according to Lisa Verrilli, Champs' manager,_ that may soon be changing. It will be interesting to see what event will take its place. Everyone's favorite, karaoke night, is on Wednesday. You may want to practice for this one though. Champs gives away $300 in prizes every single week. If that doesn't tempt you, Thursday night's "Battle of the Sexes" certainly will. You can sit back and watch, or be one of the ones to battle it out for a half hour of halfpriced drinks. Finally,don'tforgethappyhour. Champs offers half priced drinks and $1 off bottled beer from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. With a schedule like this you just can not go wrong. So broaden your horizons and head on down to 25 Marlton Circle. For more information call (609) 9~5-9333.

"Now and Then" is the perfeet title for this female coming-of-age tale that is set mostly in the past. This film defines the comfortable identification of the el_Ilotionsand experiences that are a part of any adolescent's life. Moviegoers who are at-

tracted by the popular names of Melanie Griffith, Rosie O'Donnell, Demi Moore and Rita Wilson may be displeased to discover that these stars act in secondary roles. Lesli Linka Glatter, director, focuses more on what happened back then than what is happening now. People who can recall the disturbing yearof1970 and the nasty warthat had ripped apart the country may wish to look through the eyes of Glatter as she represents what happened in her own way. She envisions the town of Shelby, Ind., as a homemaker heartland where four 12-year-old girls face the pain of growing up in a protected environment. The four friends have kept in contact with each other since their childhood years. Samantha Albertson (Moore) is now a chainsmoking author; Tina Tercell (Griffith) is a famous actress in

recovery from yet another bad marriage; Roberta Martin (O'Donnell) is a physician who stayed home; and Christina Dewitt (Wilson) is a suburban mother who is an absurd stereotype. Thereunionofthequartet is sparked by the birth of Christina's first child. The occasion casts the main event - the memories of the summer they spent together in 1970 and what it meant to them. Since this story was a flaw on the writer's part, the effort to solve the mystery of a boy's death, "Now and Then" has been compared to a women's version of "Stand By Me." The wonderful Ricci, who exhilarated the fearsome antics of "Casper," gives substance to the young Roberta in this film. She is adequately complemented by Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffman and Ashleigh Ashton Moore. "Now and Then" is the type of

movie that women of all ages go to see together. It is a heartwarming story not only for women, but for men as well. And it compounds its everyday problems by slipping in moments of hum<1rousparody. The picture's connection to the realities of 1970 is best described in a moment when the girls came across a shaky Vietnam veteran. He reports that the U.S. troops are gaining ground over in Vietnam. It is always nice to see girls in a scene involving war that has long been male-dominated. So all in all, the movie was really good. Granted, many men may object because they think it is to much of a depressed chick flick. Out of a possible five stars, "Now and Then" receives four stars; mainly because it touched my heart.

QTuesday, Oct. 24- World leaders meet to discuss peace in Bosnia President Clinton and Russian President Borris Yeltsin met at the former estate of Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hyde Park, N.Y. to discuss the enforcement of peace in Bosnia. Both agreed the Russian troops should play a role in peace keeping, but neither were specific on what that role should be. This was the ninth meeting between the two world leaders. □Wednesday, Oct. 25- Drug sweep forces the retirement of two top officials

ing knowledge of the incidents. The main reason for their retirements was their unawareness' of the problem. A small number of drugs were uncovered. However many weapons were confiscated by the nearly 650 corrections officers and state troopers.

Spending cuts were proposed in health care, education and environmental programs. Under this current plan, taxes would also be reduced. The Senate was also expected to pass a similar version of the budget plan later that day.

A commuter train headed to Chicago struck a school bus killing five students, and hospitalizing 11 others. The driver of the school bus had a clean record prior to the accident but was new on the route. No passengers on the train were injured. However, many reported feeling the train strike the bus and hearing the train blow its whistle.

One hundred fifty thousand Canadians marched in Montreal to ask all Canadians to unite and not vote for separation. The people of Quebec, the province looking to secede, has shown that 46 percent are in favor of secession while 40 percent are against it. Federal employers gave employees the afternoon off to demonstrate and show their support for a united Canada.

Out of Three bounds cheers by Justin Mlrlgllanl co-sports editor

for new coach by.JeanneLombardo staff writer

A new voice that has never been heard on campus before is cheering for Cabrini this semester. Dyan Mancaruso is not only the first cheerleading coach ever to be employed by Cabrini's athletic department, but she also happens to be younger than some of the women who she will be coaching this semester. At the young age of 18, Mancaruso has more than enough experience to whip Cabrini's cheerleading squad into shape. She has been cheering for five years and currently coaches her old high school squad at East High School in West Chester. Mancaruso was a Universal Association Cheerleading instructor for one year. She cheered for a semester at George Mason University where she also coached a high school squad and a middle school squad. Mancaruso is a sophomore at the Philadelphia School of Textiles and Science, and although she loves coaching, she said she cannot see herself doing it as a lifelong career. At this point, her career plans are up in the air. Mancaruso has several plans and changes in mind for this year's cheerleading squad. She said she hopes to, "get them to compete, get them conditioned, and make them strong." She wants to make this year's squad more spirited. Once they get the basics down, she wants to teach them some more difficult stunts. So far she has 12 women on this year's squad, most of whom are first-year students. However, none of the members from last year's squad have returned. Mancaruso said the most disappointing part about that, is that the men who were on last year's squad have not returned either. According to sophomore Billy Myers, who was a member of last year's squad, there were several reasons why the other members never returned. Most of the men on last year's squad are not able to fit cheering into the extremely busy schedules they have this year. The two captains from last year graduated at the end of last semester, and most of the remaining squad members simply did not come back to Cabrini this semester. One of Mancaruso's main goals for this year is to make the squad coed. She also wants to make the campus community more aware of upcoming games and special events by posting signs around campus. Many of the women on this year's squad are excited about cheering for Cabrini. Some are surprised that Cabrini has never had any cheerleading coaches in the past. First-year student Lisa Lazarus said she thinks that a coach is necessary to maintain organization and consistency. Although the members of Cabrini's cheerleading squad this year will be working hard to perform their best, they do it for one main reason. "We just want to have fun," first-year student Tara Clark said.

Lady Cavs receivegift by StephanieCaldwell co-sportseditor

The Lady Cavs have an overall record of 6-10-2 this season. They are 1-1-1 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. Their only win in the PAC came against Eastern College by a score of 2-1. Junior Amy Hummel scored the Lady Cavs winning goal. The Lady Cavs suffered a 5-3 loss to Beaver College. Against College Misericordia, the Lady Cavs were forced to settle for a 1-1 tie. First-year student Marisa Kane scored the only goal for the Lady Cavs. However, a win was almost mandatory for the Lady Cavs. The win would have secured them a trip to the PAC championship. After the tie, the Lady Cavs had to rely on neighbor Eastern College to keep their hopes alive. This year in the event that a tie would determine who would play in the finals, the team with more goals in the PAC would receive a trip to the PAC championship. Eastern had to keep Misericordia to no more than four goals when they met on Sunday, Oct. 29. The Lady Cavs were set to play Centenary College on Saturday, Oct. 28. However, the game was canceled due to inclement weather. Therefore, the Lady Cavs had the weekend to think about the possibility of not making it to the PAC championship. With their fingers crossed, the Lady Cavs awaited the result of the EasternMisericordia g:me. Their prayers were answered. Although Eastern lost, they held Misericordia to three goals, losing 3-1. For the second year in a row, the Lady Cavs will appear in the PAC championship. They will play Beaver College on Thursday, Nov. 2. Last year, they beat Eastern College by a score of 1-0 in overtime. This year they are ready to defend. Leading the Lady Cavs are senior Dana Mills and junior co-captain Nancy Kraus. Mills Has eight goals and three assists this season, and Kraus has recorded eight goals and five assists.

The women's tennis team ended its season with a superb second-place finish, despite a loss to Marywood College in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference finals on Saturday, Oct. 21. The score was tied 4-4, when rain forced the postponement of the rest of the tournament. The team had to travel back to Scranton, where it lost the tie-breaking set by a score of 6-4. The team finished with a conference record of7-l, and an overall record of 10-4. Of its four losses, two were at the hands of division two teams. The Lady Cavs lost 6-3 to the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Sciences and 5-4 to the University of the District of Columbia. The other two losses were to Kings College and Marywood College. The team placed first in the Wesley College Invitational, held in Salisbury,

Md. Along with Cabrini, Washington College, Beaver College, Chestnut Hill Col-

lege 'and Wesley College were represented. This was the second year Cabrini took first place in the tournament. Coach Reggie Day, recording his eighth straight winning season, said he is very impressed with the team's performance. "The ladies did a tremendous job," Day said, "and I'm really proud of them." Remarkable concentration and strength were the keys to success, according to Day. "It was a team that never said die," Day said. "Even when they were behind, they fought back." Day considers himself a demanding coach. "I strive for excellence," he said. His philosophy as a coach echoes a winning attitude. "I want you to be a winner," Day said. "I don't care what the score is. I want you to do your best." The chemistry of the players this season was amazing, according to Day. "This year, we had the rare combination of the right people in the right place at the right time," he said. Senior Maura Wiswall did not get much playing time this season due to a knee injury. However, she had the chance

to observe the team from the sidelines. "Our girls played up to their level," Wiswall said. Junior Donna Schaeffer held an unblemished conference record of 8-0 for singles. Her only defeat came at the hands of Washington College at the Wesley College Invitational, leaving her with an outstanding overall record of 18-1. Schaeffer also stands undefeated in conference doubles play with a record of 8-0. Her overall record in doubles is 115.

Schaeffer is a consistent player, according to Day. "She'll bend but she doesn't break," Day said. "She'll wear opponents down." Sophomore Michaelle Mcilvaine acquired a conference singles record of 6-2, and she went 14-8 overall. Mcnvaine, along with doubles partner Schaeffer, shared an unblemished doubles record of 8-0 in the conference. Mcllvaine's overall record for doubles play stands at 12-5, as she played one match with senior Kim Scarborough against Widener University and won. Mcilvaine showed tremendous improvement from last
