Sister Carol Keck receives the Cabrini Day Award from President Antoinette Iadarola and Student Government Association president Andrea Kelliher, a junior.
Keck receivesaward by Paul Monte staff writer
A cold and dreary day could not keep an inspiring speech from bringing hope and joy. The narrator was 1995 Cabrini Day Award recipient Sister Carol Sister Keck. Her tale of turning the "Badlands" of Philadelphia into the "goodlands" highlighted a day, which in the words of College President Dr. Antoinette Iadarola can be referred to as "a day of reflection." The Cabrini Day Award ceremony began with opening remarks by vice president for student development Bob Bonfiglio, Iadarola, Cabrini foundress Sister Mother Ursula Infante and Student Government Association president junior Andrea Kelliher. Iadarola and Kelliher presented Sister Keck with a check for $2,000 to further her work. She also received a plaque commemorating the award, on which included the words, " ...for modeling the virtues oflove, justice and compassion ... " The Cabrini Day Award is given annually to the person who best exemplifies the work of Mother Cabrini, which included caring for the spiritual and material needs of others. Sister Keck is a longtime community organizer and activist, as well as the executive director of the Norris Square Neighborhood Project. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sister Keck was instrumental three years ago in getting Weed and Seed, a federal anti-drug

program, started in North Philadelphia between Berks and Westmoreland Streets, and Front and Fifth Streets. Weed and Seed attempts to foster cooperation between police and local communities. In her speech, Sister Keck informed an audience of over 200 people about the quest she and her associates have taken to rid a community of drugs and to breathe life back into a lifeless town. Sister Keck was quick to point out how in her mind, the land that most people referred to as the "badlands" was not bad, but good. She began with a history of the "goodlands" that dated back to the 1800s when a predominantly German population inhabited the land. While they were the first wave of immigrants, a wave of Latinos then called the "goodlands" home beginning in the 1950s. During the early 20th century the area was one of prosperous industry. In the 1950s however, factories began to shut down and business moved south. According to Sister Keck, when industry left, crime came. The decline in social structure culminates today into a high crime rate, a 65 percent unemployment rate, an area where two-thirds of the city's open properties lie, and an area where up to 80 percent of the city's drug distribution takes place. Sister Keck then went into how the United Neighbors Against Drugs (UNAD), created in 1985 and born out of the catalyst of the
Monday VOpenMic Night for Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week in the Red Cloud Coffeehouse at 8 p.m.
Norris Square Neighborhood Project, began the task of pushing drug dealers out of the community. Sister Keck credited the virtue of persistence as the key to achieving success. In following years, Sister Keck and her supporters used persistence to get city officials, as well as the media, to recognize the issue of drug activity. Through several examples, Sister Keck illustrated how, through having persistence, they could get people to recognize the problem of drugs and solicit partners to work with them in their cause. "Persistence is one of things you need to have to change the quality of life," Sister Keck said. Sister Keck illustrated how hard work on behalf of the Norris Square Neighborhood Project and UNAD landed the city Weed and Seed funding from the government. As a result of the funding, abandoned lots were cleaned: cars were towed, and crackhouses were demolished. Furthermore, families began to create gardens and murals, reminiscent of Latino culture and heritage, as an outlet of fostering community. "I am astonished by the resiliency of the human spirit of the people there," Sister Keck said. She left the crowd with a challenge to instill within themselves the values of cooperation, unity and exchange, as well as members of the Cabrini community to visit the "goodlands."

Sister Carol Keck, recipient the 1995 Cabrini Day Award, embodies the spirit of the "commitment-to-others" legacy begun by Cabrini College patron, Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini. Like Mother Cabrini, Keck gets her hands dirty in a swamp that most others would like to motor their boats past. In the days of Cabrini, the swamp was the plight of the immigrant; today Keck's swamp is infested with drugs. Keck has pioneered new methods of social change with the programs that she has implemented in her neighborhood, called the "Badlands" by the media, but known to Keck and the residents as their neighborhood. With the Safe Corridors program, she has joined African-American and Latino mothers together in a mission to make sure that their children can travel to and from school safely, without being harassed or subjected to the lure of drugs. With this coalition of concerned commuqity members, Sister Keck formed United Neighbors Against Drugs (UNAD) and fought to keep her streets free from the disease of drugs. Sister Keck also knows how to play the media and uses this tactic to further reach tangible goals. She continues to remain successful in her life's work. After Sister Keck and UNAD closed down a nightclub owned by a reputed drug dealer, they turned the land into a garden with plots made available to area residents in order to help feed their famil_ieswhile beautifying the community. Sister Keck did not start off hoping to rid her community of drugs within one day. She has set practical and attainble goals and continues to build upon success. Sister Keck is a beacon of hope whose rays of light penetrate even the darkest of spirits. She let the people of the "Badlands" know that they were not bad, and that together, they could overcome the problems that plague them and their community. Loquitur is establishedas a forum for student expression and as a voice in the uninhibited,robust,free and open discussionof issues. BdltGrla Cblef Kiml>edySllddloo "'11... Eata: I _ Jclulu,xt,ay

Letterto the editor Come together: Studentparticipatesin the march Melanie Winship,
stnior
I, being a white woman, support the intent of the Million Man March. The Million Man March was the largest gathering in the history of the United States, surpassing the attendance of the Martin Luther King Jr.' s historic March on Washington in
1963. For those in attendance and even those at home watching, the experience is one they will never forget. I had the privilege of experiencing this unforgettable event. Although I have heard negative responses to the march, the majority of reactions that I have heard have been positive. I personally do not understand what influenced negative views. I was not there to offend anyone but was there like everyone else, to support the unity and initiative taken by the black community. I was inspired by such speakers as Rosa Parks and Maya Angelou. The young boy and girl who spoke impressed me with their deep emotional calling to their black brothers to come together. They were desperate in their need for their fathers, brothers, uncles and grandfathers to protect them and make a community safe for them to grow up in. It tore my heart listening to these young children pleading for a stable life and all those things that come with it. I can't even imagine how it affected the emotions of those who the message was intended for.

Dueto what I considerrecentunprofessionalconductfrom SGA, I feel I can no longer representthis organization. Therefore,effectiveimmediately,I am resigningmy position on the junior class academicboard. lamveryswprisedwiththewaythingshavebeenhandledandoolonger wish to serve an organizationthat allows its members to serve their own purposesand whose membersare more concernedwith howtheiractions look than anythingelse. The reasonsfor my resignationare simple. First, when given a position on SGA, I continuallyasked what my respons1bilities wouldbe. Afterbeing bouncedto severalmembers,I was finally informed at an academicboard meeting.by the academic board chair,seniorEdie Lamberti.No one attemptedto contactme to infonn me of my duties before thismeeting. Second,sincethe firstSGAboard meetingbackin August,I have been promised a copy of the new comtitution. As of today, I am stillwaiting for one. ltwouldbenicetohaveacopyofthisconstitution,sowhenstudentsask me a questionabout it I would be ableto respondintelligently.Maybe I should have beenmore persistentin my requests,but how many requests are enough? Third, the recent conduct of programmingboard chair, junior John Lindsay,played a partin my decision. Lindsay's actionshave been ridiculousfrom the start. I questionwhat directionthe leadershipof ourschoolis going in when SGA member.,are removedas summerorientationcounselorsfor suspicion of drinking. Theyarerolemodelsandneedtoconductthemselvesin thecommunity's eyes. He is a memberof SGA's executiveboard,and he has neverofficially commentedon the accusations. I feel SGA and the studentbody has a right to know the true stocy. Lindsay is a member of the Loquitur editorialstaff. He undoubtedly has much influenceon articletopicsprintedin Loquitur. It is vecyconvenientthat an editorofl.oquiturcanusethisforumfor his own purposes,to generatesupportfor hitnself,as is the caseof the articles printed in the Oct. Z7 ~e. I find myselfbeginningto questionthe credibilityof the schoolpaper, when the editor.,are allowedto use the paper for their own agendas. I would still like to find any person, besides the member., of the executiveboard,who can tell me what the new constitutionis about I am questioning the direction of leader.,hipon campus, which is promotedin the hberalarts educationthat I receiveat CabriniCollege. I know John Lindsay,that is not to say that we are friends,I just know him. I trulybelievedhe couldhave recoveredafter the summermishapand I am trulydisappointedthat he has been unable to do so. I regrethavingto giveup this position.I trulybelieveda new SGA was astepintherightdirection.Whenthesernesterfirstbegan,Iinformedjunior class coordinatorDonna Schaefferand SGA presidentAndrea Kelliher that I was stretchingmyselfwith beingon SGA, and I may not be able to give my positionthe attentionit deserved. They said this was okay. But I neverfelt rightwith thisdecision. I understandwhy they wishedto keep me on, and I hoperioonetakesmy resignationpersonally.I wouldlike my resignationto standfor the factthat I am tiredof the doubletalk,and I hope this will motivate all of the members of SGA to get up and make the differencefor the studentbody,as they promisedto do whenthey accepted their positions. I was on SGA from August 30 to October26. I attendedthree total meetings in which nothing(includingby myself)was accomplished. I doubt my presencewillbe missed,but if SGA respondsto my resignation and letter,will this prove my point? I am publicly asking SGA to become the force on campus they can. Please "stoptalkingthe talkand startwalkingthewalk." If that means an investigationinto members' actionsand removalof other members,then sobeit Isn't it funnythat the same peoplewho worked underthe old constitution cannot get anythingaccomplishedunder the new one?

Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week Today and every day approximately 60,000 people - two-thirds of them children - will die of hunger-related causes. They are among 500 million people who are suffering from hunger and homelessness throughout the world. Twenty-five percent of all homeless people are children. Did you know that, according to Second Harvest, a coalition of food banks, 25 million Americans rely on food banks or other assistance for their food supplies? Or, did you know many of For Your the people who go to soup kitchens are e'inployed but still Information do not make enough money to provide food for themselves? Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week is one of the programs offered by campus ministry at Cabrini College. It is an effort to increase interest and raise concern on the part of students to the reality and problem of world hunger and homelessness. We share, in our small effort, the same concerns and interests that sparked a global appeal to end this plight that is killing millions. The people responsible for Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week have a two-fold objective: to inform fellow students about the situation of world hunger and homelessness and to creatively challenge them to respond. All are invited to take a stand on these issues. We can increase an awareness of hunger and homelessnes~ among students, faculty, administrators and our surrounding community. Join the millions of individuals, student groups, families and religious communities who will fast this year and donate to hunger relief organizations. You will be helping to give people in more than 30 developing countries access to the resources they need to alleviate hunger and poverty in their communities. Donations of nonperishable food will p_eaccepte<};~nd sent to Our Lady of Hope Parish in Philadelphia and Mercy Hospice, a shelter for women and children. Monetary donations will also, be accepted so that additional household products can be purchased for them. Please look for the boxes around campus, or call junior Sis Slater for more details at extension 8640. Although many events are scheduled for this week alone, the crusade for the hungry and homeless exists all year long, only without the publicity. Making changes for a better tomorrow can only be made with your help.

Cut a rug with the Woptuga by Stacey Caiazzo assistant photography editor
The Woptuga Dance Theatre program is both contemporary and historical, featuring specialty dance enlivened by ancient legends, traditions and philosophies. The "old and new" balance of this program vibrantly illustrates the spirit of 20th century Native America. The Woptuga Dance Theatre will be performing on Sunday, Nov. 19, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Grace Hall Atrium. The performers will consist of singers and dancers from various bands of the Oglala Nation located in South Dakota. As each dancer performs, a narrator will lead the audience through the program to increase its enjoyment and understanding by defining the meaning of the songs and explaining the dancers' movements and costumes. The Woptuga Dance Theatre will be performing at schools and communities within the area. The dancers are: Clement Holy Eagle, LeAnn Iron Hawk, Monica Rouillard, John MovesCamp, WesleyNewHolyandVemon Moves Camp. Moves Camp, of Oglala Lakota, is the organizer of the Woptuga Tiospaye Dance and has been dancing for more than 16 years.
"We will be performing "Traditional," "Jingle," "Grass," "Hoop," "Fancy Shawl" and "Heyoka songs and dances," Moves Camp said. "We live under a family network," Moves Camp said, "and what we do is we create places and avenues where education is seen through our tribe and people and this land called America. "The Woptuga dancers go around shar• ing their part of history through song and dance," Moves Camp said. According to Moves Camp, the Heyoka song and dance brings forth joy as instantaneous knowing to all the people who are alive today. It portrays an honest pride in everyday living and the knowledge of harmony. "The complete story of the Heyoka is of Mitakuye Oyasin [all of my relatives], for all that there is and all that will be - love, happiness, joy, honor, pride, giving, forgiveness, anger, greed, hate.jealousy, pride, shame, envy - completely contrary from moment to moment," Moves Camp said. The Woptuga Dance Theatre will conclude its production with a question-andanswer session, which will be open to the public. Come out and see The Woptuga Dance Theatre's performance on Sunday, Nov. 19. in the Atrium.
Art on display, but students stay away by Jessica Bilotta staff writer
Linda Laino's handmade felt and mixed media creations will be on display in the fine arts gallery for an entire month. The artist herself, was there for two hours during the November 5 opening re: ception. Despite the fact that it was open to all students and free of charge, only four students, all arts administration majors, attended. Poor student attendance at art exhibit opening receptions is nothing new. In fact, it seems to be a trend that has continued throughout the past several years, a trend that many in the fine arts department would like to see come to an end. For those who do not know, art exhibit opening receptions are held in the Holy Spirit Library Fine Arts Gallery. They last for about two hours, and refreshments are served. These events allow those in attendance the chance to not only get a first look at the new exhibit, but also to meet and question the artist about his or her work. Sophomore arts administration major and coordinator of Linda Laino's exhibit Sharon Ryan said she feels that the artist's presence is the best part. "The opening receptions are great because you get a chance to meet the artist. It's a shame so many students miss them," Ryan said. Explanations as to why so few students attend these events have been offered by members of the fine arts department and arts administration majors. Professor of fine arts and music Dr. Adeline Bethany said she feels poor press
exposure before the event occurs is a large part of the problem. According to Bethany, several students have approached her, complaining that Loquitur does not give students enough information about upcoming fine arts events. "Loquitur promotes the event after it's happened," Bethany said. "I don't understand why more isn't done to promote it before it occurs." Ryan shares Dr. Bethany's concern for the lack of information available about the receptions, but offers other reasons as to why. According to Ryan, many students do not attend the art shows because they do not have to. Attending shows for the music department is a course requirement, making promotion of those events more intense. "For music events, flyers are sent out to everyone," Ryan said. "For the art shows, you have to be on the mailing list to get an invitation." Ryan added that even art majors are not guaranteed information about upcoming events. "I've been an art major since I was a freshman, and never attended a show, simply because I didn't know about them," Ryan said. Painting instructor Lisa Leamer said she feels that making attending art show openings a class requirement would be beneficial, especially if a teacher's work is on display. "Art openings are a fundamental part of the creative process," Learner said. "I made it a requirement for student's to attend my opening last month, so they could get a better understanding of what I teach.".

Soprano headlines evening in the Clouds by Thomas McKee ·staff writer
If you find yourself walking around Cabrini's campus one day with your head in the clouds, you may want to make sure that you have brought your sense of humor with you. In what is being titled "Comedy in the Clouds," Cabrini College's theater department will present five performances of Eugene Ionesco's "The Bald Soprano" in the Red Cloud Coffeehouse. The performances will also feature the talents of Cavalier Attitudes, Cabrini's comedy troupe. According to Neal Newman, theater director, the best way to describe "The Bald Soprano" as an "antiplay." "Eugene Ionesco took a look around and realized that all plays are the same," Newman said. "They have a plot, characters, dialogue and a groundplan. Once he realized this,
he asked himself, 'why not do a play that has none of these qualities?"' Newman said he believes the play is one that students can relate to. "I chose to do this play," Newman said, "because the students that had read it told me that this was their life." The cast consists of seniors Karen Szczurek and Katina Corrao, sophomores Paul Monte, Billy Myers and Mia Fitzgerald, and first-year student Paul Moser. Cavalier Attitudes will showcase its improvisational skills at the conclusion of "The Bald Soprano." The troupe will engage in theater sports and perform parodies of NBC's hit sitcom "Friends" and Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction." "Comedy in the Clouds" will premiere in the Red Cloud Coffeehouse on Friday, Nov. 10, and will be presented Nov. 11, 16, 17 and 18. The show will begin at 8 p.m. Admission is $3 for students and $5 for others. For more information, contact the theater department at 902-8510.

Liu due to ·perform Prussia players' poor for Cabrini audience production plummets by MirellaAddesl staff writer
At 21 years old, most of us celebrate our legality to buy alcohol. However, at 21, Meng Chieh Liu celebrated the birth of his career. On M:onday night, April 26, 1993, Andre Watts was scheduled to perform in a solo recital for the All Star-Forum at the Philadelphia Academy of Music. However, just three hours prior to his recital, Watts fell victim to the flu and regretfully had to cancel. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, 21:-year-old Liu was given this "opportunity of a lifetime." Liu dazzled the audience with his captivating performance, for which he received a standing ovation. Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Liu was six years old when he began studying the piano. He graduated from Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia last May.
Liu has been bestowed with many honors and has won a number of competitions including first prize at the Stravinsky, Mieczyslaw Munz and Asia-Pacific piano competitions. Liu will be performing at Cabrini College on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. in the mansion. Ironically, he will be appearing once again as a replacement. "I contacted Columbia Artists Management Inc.," Dr. Adeline Bethany, fine arts department chair, said, "and tried to get !gnat Solzhenitsyn. He is not available until '96, so they asked if I would be interested in Liu." Liu has been featured in many newspapers and, according to Bethany, is making quite a name for himself. The music to be played is composed by Frederick Chopin. "He is a very easy composer to listen to," Bethany said. According to Bethany, the evening is anticipated to be enjoyed by all.

The King of Prussia Players opened their production of "The Curious Savage" by John Patrick at the Upper Merion high school on Nov., 3. Play "The Curious Savage" revolves around a widow, Review Mrs. Savage, who has inherited $100 million. Her children, Titus, Samuel and her daughter in law, Lily Belle, put Mrs. Savage into a psychiatric ward. As each member of the family looks for the hidden money, we are introduced to the characters. The opening scene is sloppy and confusing, due mostly to the directing of Julie Kuerschner. She has actors doing their lines behind chairs and in any direction. The focus is misplaced, causing the theme of the play to be lost. Of course it did not help that the actors were subpar.
Kim Hart, a high school student and a high school actor played the role of Fairy May who is also a patient. A few more years of acting and she might find her character and her purpose in the play would have made sense. Dr. Emmett, or should I say Doctor stumble mumble, is played by Robert Denchick. Florence, played by Donna Brown, is another semiclueless patient. There are a few good aspects to the show besides the script. Jeffrey, Paul Chiano jr., is a solid character. He displays all of the problems of a psycho patient. Although Mrs. Savage, Ashley Buggey, was too young for the role, she presented a remarkable stage presence. The quality of the performances were undercut by the directing. "The Curious Savage" will last only for Nov. 10 and 11. For more information on upcoming plays, call the box office at (610) 265-1782.

Contemporary artist appeals to the senses by Kevin Eppler staff writer
Eggs, cocoons, bags and barriers; these are not exactly the typical ingredients of traditional art, but they are definitely essential to Linda Laino's recipe for her creations. Contemporary artist Linda Laino revealed her fiber/mixed media art talents Sunday, Nov. 5, in the Holy Spirit Library Fine Arts Gallery. Laino's art combines bags, torn paintings, felt and unique three-dimensional creations to bring her themes to life. One of those themes, Laino explained, is the sense of confinement. Laino said, "Containment, shelter, and enclosures," are themes she incorporates in her work. Eggs and cocoons aid Laino's effort to portray confinement and other themes. "l also like the idea of fragility. The eggs and cocoons portray that fragility," Laino said. Laino said an idea she enjoys about her work is the ambiguity. "I want to show the ambiguity of enclosure as comforting and confining," Laino said. • According to Laino, people can look at her work and derive different things unique to each observer. "Some people see my work as eerie," Laino said. "I don't see it." But Laino also said she takes it as a compliment when someone leaves the exhibit thinking one thing of a piece and then returns to the exhibit later parting with a new idea on the same piece. Fiber/mixed media is an art form few students are aware of. Fiber/mixed media, according to Laino, appeals to a variety of senses.

''In light of the situation, I really think everythingwent well responsewise. Everyone did what they were supposed to do," Caulfieldsaid.

"I know that there were some electrical problems in the building, but I believe that they are in no way connected to this situation," Wood said. ''Unfortunately, sometimes the cause can not be determined. This is one of those times."
It appeals to the eyes, the sense of smell with its incorporation of natural fibers, and to the sense of touch because of its "hands-on" qualities that come through in the design and creation of the felt and the objects placed upon it. Laino utilizes felt, silk-screening, thread, paper and cloth to create her pieces. Her art demonstrates the "handson" creativity Laino earlier described. Literature is another theme Laino incorporates. Her works often have exerts of stanzas and phrases framing or involved in the work. She often concentrates on one word or key phrase to bring forth the theme. When asked about how she gets her ideas or her inspiration, Laino said she can relate to the words of Francis Bacon [another artist/writer], who explained the arrival of ideas and inspiration as "images dropping -info my bead Tike-~ slides." Many people see art as merely an expression of the artist. Laino describes her artwork as "based on personal experience but not autobiographical." With life in mind and the future ahead, Laino expressed the importance of art. "Art plays a role in life people don't realize," Laino said. "There is so much importance in art, for art education, problem solving, meditation or just enhancing life." Laino expressed her disappointment in contemporary painting and voiced her support of fiber/mixed media. photo by Kevin Eppler Linda Laino's work will continue to be displayed in the Holy Spirit Library Fine This piece is one of the many of Unda Laina's on display in the Holy Spirit Ubrary Arts Gallery through Sunday, Dec. 3. until Sunday, Dec. 3.

Lastweek in the worldof news by StephanieSaroslcy staff writer
OTuesday, Oct. 31- Quebec remains Canadian. The referendum declaring Quebec an independent country was defeated by a 1 percent margin. According to the Canadian Broadcast Channel, the "no" votes were supported by the federalist voters. Out of all the eligible voters, there was more than a 92 percent turnout. According to The Reporter, separatist leader Lucien Bouchard said, " ... the world should know Quebec and Canada are democracies. We are a responsible people." □Wednesday,Nov.1-
Premierof Quebec announces resignation. Parizeau will step down from his position at the end of the year. Parizeau made a public announcement stating regret in blaming the loss of the secession on the non-French speaking immigrants.
As a result of the vote, some of Quebec's people expressed their disappointment by retaliating. Police arrested 40 people who were charged with fighting and brawling. A homemade bomb was found at one of the federalists' offices. There were no serious injuries. Parizeau's separatist Parti Quebecois will appoint a new leader to replace Parizeau.
OThursday, Nov. 2- Violent death raises suspicion. The beaten and burned body of Richard Will was found in Ford Heights.

One of the teenagers charged with Will's murder claimed he was beaten and burned because he was a white man. An investigation is being conducted by the Illinios State Police and the State Attorney's Office. They are questioning the actions of the two black police officers who left Will to die.

in which food binges and weight gain are common problems. Many female college students experience such pressures. Senior Shawn McAleer said, "I've seen it happen, and I think it's a shame." Anorexic and bulimic patients tend to be particularly vulnerable to cultural messages about dieting. Probably no other disorder, other than alcoholism, is so invariably accompanied by denial. For American college students, about one out of every 100 students suffer from this eating disorder. In American high schools, there is an estimated 120,000 sufferers. When we take into account the severity and potentially long-term effects of the disorder, the problem indeed appears to be a significant and alarming one. "I think eating disorders effect everyone, no matter how old they are. It's as prominent here as it is in the real world," senior Maggie Mjtura said. The overwhelming majority of people that develops problems with anorexia and bulimia, regardless of nationality or social class, are female. Studies of this disease have been taking place since the 1960s, but in a more recent study prominent .facts were obtained. Eating disorders rarely occur in males, and it is typically not seen in children or females over the age of 30. Eating disorders can be seen in a wide spread of ages, ranging from teenage
Disorders plaguett· students· by Lisa Mlnlnno staffwriter

Anorexia and bulimia are serious health problems that many college students face. Anorexia and bulimia are termed eating disorders, and they do in fact involve abnormal patterns of eating. The most central feature of these disorders is the intense pursuit of thinness and a dreaded feeling of becoming fat. The one environment in which eating disorders are most evident in is the college campus. Due to their critical age and developmental stage, college students are at the greatest risk for developing eating disorders. There are a number of features of the college life style that make it a breeding ground for anorexic and bulimic symptoms, particularly for those who are already vulnerable. These symptoms are caused by a fluid and unstructured environment, social and academic competition, a concern with appearance and physical attractiveness, a restructured eating environment
Schaeffer was enrolled at Dickinson Collegewhere she only completedone semester. Because of financial reasons,she did not return for the second semesterand insteadwent to work. ''I worked that spring semesterand during the summer with the hopes of going back to school in the fall," Schaeffersaid. 'The big questionwas whereI would go. I wantedtobe close to home where I would have small classes and the chance to meet new people." Schaefferstartedher first year with afresh,cleanstartandenrolledatCabrini as an English and communications major. ''I did it all for me even if it meant graduating a year later.

Jeannine Wesolowski, a sophomore, said, "I feel the media plays a big part. Some girls compete and try to look like models." It is important to understand that because of their external focus, anorexics feel that their achievements in school or in athletics are performances for others. Recently, the effects of stress on eating disorders have been questioned. Considerable scientific attention has been devoted to the topic of stress. Studies
found stress widely leads to overeating, and therefore affects eating disorders. It is almost impossible to predict what is to come in the future. Eating disorders have been growing. The hope from scientists is that the facts will enlighten sufferers. Facts gained for this article can be found in the following: "Anorexia and Bulimia; Anatomy of a Social Epidemic," by Richard Gordon, "Educational and Psychological Measurement," autumn 1993 and "Psychological Bulletin," May 1994.

Roller blading speeds to new heights by Jeanne Lombardo staff writer It is a crisp, clear autumn afternoon. You are strolling along at your own pace heading for your next class. While you admire the breath-taking fall scenery that surrounds you, something ·catches the comer of your eye. Suddenly, almost out of nowhere, an object closely resembling Dr. Arthur Young, professor of English and communications, races toward you uncontrollably at the speed of light. As Y.OUstumble out of the way, the object begins to come into focus. It is at that moment when you realiz.e that it actually is Young, on a pair of roller blades. Whether you call it roller blading or in-line skating, there is no doubt that this sport, which originated in California, is now becoming one of the most popular sports in the country. According to John Reading, purchasing agent for the Penalty Box in Wayne, last year rollerblade sales doubled to over $1.8 million. Reading said there are several reasons for the increased popularity of roller blading. He said it
is a great low-impact exercise that just about anyone can do. It is fun and best of all, it can be a family affair. According to Reading, roller blades were designed to be safer than roller skates. They have safer brakes and strong protective gear. Reading also said roller blading differs from the quickly fading sports' trend of skateboarding because the adult market is being targeted and parents, as well as grandparents, are able to participate. "It is becoming as common as television," Reading said. In fact, roller blading has become so popular that there are now roller blading competitions that are televised on ESPN 2. Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt Park in Philadelphia has even set aside a court specifically for roller blading. Roller blading is definitely no stranger to Cabrini's campus either. Young used to roller skate as a young boy. Recently, he received a pair of roller blades as a present. After he left them sitting in his closet for a little while, he decided to take lessons. Young found a certified roller-blading instructor through his health
club and has been taking lessons since the summer. "First you have to get over the fearof falling," Young said. Young is not the only Cabrini staff member who enjoys roller blading as a recreational activity. Eleanor DiDonato, secretary in the Rooymans Center, said she was introduced to roller blading through her 14-year-old daughter. Her daughter wanted them to do something different together, she challenged DiDonato to do it. It was not a problem for DiDonato to get started, because she had gotten a pair of roller blades as a Christmas present. In DiDonato's family, roller blading is not restricted only to her and her daughter. Her entire family roller blades. "It's easy," DiDonatosaid. "lt'slikerunning. Youcanjust get your sneakers and go." Sophomore Bill Matoney, who often participates in roller hockey, said roller blading is especially popular with hockey players. He said hockey players roller blade to stay in shape and to keep up with their skating during the off-season.
Matoney said he enjoys roller blading for fun, to do tricks and to play hockey. Junior Phil Matteo said roller blading is more interesting than roller skating because, ''It's like ice skating on the street." Matteo said he believes the popularity of this sport is due to the increased interest in hockey, as well as being an outlet to keeping physically fit. He also said the best way to go about searching for a roller-blading instructor would be to look in the classified ads. According to Reading, roller-blade prices usually depend on the quality and the type of roller blades to be purchased. Although he does not recommend purchasing an inexpensive pair, there are roller blades that can be purchased for as little as $39. A good pair of roller blades for a child would cost about $79. A mediocre pair of roller blades for an adult would cost between $150 and $200. A sturdy pair of blades for an adult can cost up to $500, and roller blades for speed skaters usually cost well over $1,000. Knee pads, elbow pads and helmets usually cost around $20 each.

The Cabrini College lacrosse team stuck it to its opponents in the final games of their "fall ball" season Sunday, Oct. 29. The Cavs competed in a round-robin tournament that was held at Haverford College. The team notched two more victories, pushing its record to an outstanding 3-1. Its only loss came at the hands of West Chester University, a reputable Division two team. Cabrini was deemed victorious in its first game against Widener University, although the final score was tied at 4-4. According to "fall ball" regulations, a victory is awarded to the team scoring first, if the final score of a game is tied. First-year student Brian Bugey opened the scoring for Cabrini with a goal assisted by first-year student Tim Sorochen. Junior Brian Bygott increased -the lead to 2-0, with 11 minutes left in the first half. With the score tied at two in the second half, Bygott scored his second goal of the game, assisted by junior Joe Collins, as the Cavs regained the lead 3-2. With 3 minutes and 45 seconds left in the game, first-year student Mike Friel snapped the ball past the opposing goaltender to place Cabrini on top 4-3. Collins recorded his second assist of the game on Friel' s goal. Although Widener tied the score with a late goal in the second half of the game, its dreams of victory were not realized, due to the fact that Cabrini

scored the first goal of the game. The team's winning trend continued during its second game as Cabrini humiliated Stevens Tech by a final score of 13-6. Although Stevens Tech initiated the scoring and soon took the lead by a score of 2-1, Cabrini quickly regained its place in the game. The first half ended with Cabrini ahead by a score of 6-3, and Stevens Tech was gradually squelched out of the game throughout the second half. Friel, tallying four goals and two assists, and Collins, acquiring three goals
and four assists, led the offensive effort. Bygott and first-year student Tim Mccusker each finished the game with two goals and one assist. Sophomore Phil Gagliardi earned one goal and one assist, and Sorochen scored one goal. Coach Randy Mills was impressed with the efforts of the team. "We played everyone, and we were comfortably the leader," Mills said. Despite a slow start, the team got its act together during the second half of the game, according to offensive coordinator John Brubaker.
"They are a very cohesive unit and everyone gets along very well," Brubaker said. Brubaker was happy to see many of the goals were assisted, which shows teamwork. "Players are seeing their teammates on the field and are being very unselfish," Brubaker said. Mills was equally impressed with the unity displayed by the team. "They 're starting to become unselfish, and they're starting to play as a team," Mills said. Collins noted the effectiveness of both the offense and defense. "Offensively, our attack was very good," Collins said. Collins credits first-year student Eric Brazinski with supplying consistent defensive play. The privilege of team captain is shared by four juniors: Dennis Fohner, Adam Todd, Kyle Simons, and Bygott. Fohner and Todd both support the defensive attack for the Cavs, and Simons joins Bygott on the offensive end. The chemistry of these four team leaders has been developing for some time, according to Todd. "We've been starting for three years," Todd said. "This is the year we're looking to bring it all together." Todd is more concerned with preserving team unity than with the score of the game. "I look for guys playing as a team," Todd said. "I don't keep track of stats." The team will acquire two new defensemen in January, adding even more depth to its solid defense. The Cavs spring season will start in March. Mills speculates that the spring season will be spectacular if everyone stays healthy
