"We won't start anything that can't be finished by the time the studentsreturn," Barclaysaid. The repairs and renovationsare scheduledfor the summer. "We are shooting for the summer of 1996," Barclaysaid. "A construction company will be needed to assist in the renovations," Barclay said, "but no one has been contactedyet because we don't know what renovations will be approved." Barclay,in a previous interview, stated that there were possibilities of a new dorm or an addition to House5. He also statedthe groundbreaking for the sports complex would occur in the spring of 1996 and that there was a possibilityof renovating Sacred Heart Hall during the summer months of 1996. For more information on the major improvements, see below article on administrationgoals.
Administration set to accomplish new goals by Chris Donato assistant photography editor
While many of the administration'sgoalsset in thebeginningof ttie spring 1996 semesterare being met, goals are still being set for the Fall 1996semester. According to Al Mollica, vicepresident of institutionaladvancement, the departmentof institutional advancementis closeto fulfillingits fimdraisinggoals.

Bonfiglio set a goal to support the Student Government Association in the coming semesters. According to Bonfiglio,SGA headed the successful· efforts of openingan aerobicexerciseroom in the SacredHeart Hall gymnasium.
Bonfiglio describes SGA as a growingbody of influenceon campus. "SGA is still in the process of finding itself," Bonfiglio said. "There are a numberof areas where it [SGA] could have a significant impact." Enrollmentis expected to grow for the Fall 1996 semester,according to Boeke. "We expect that enrollment will increase somewhat," Boeke said. "Admissions are up fromthe previoustwo years." Seven new faculty membersare being hiredfor the fall 1996 semester. Accordingto Boeke, they will serve in the areas of biology,chemistry,socialwork, sociology,education, sports science and computer informationscience. Academic affairs has set many goals for the future, including the implementationof an SIRSI library automation system in Holy Spirit Library. In addition,the department wants to establish a masters program in integratedmarketingcommunications,accordingto Boeke.

To set goalsis ordinary,to Collective efforts, provide achievethem,extraordinary At last check, students had heard that ground breaking for the sports complex would be some time during the spring semester of 1996. Classes end Tuesday, May 7 and conveniently enough, gr_ound-breaking has been rescheduled for some time in July. •. Renovations such as the "smart classroom," a state-ofthe art interactive classroom with Internet access and cable television, are scheduled to be made in Sacred Heart Hall. The advantages of such technology in the classroom are unknown as of now. But students are intrigued by the possibilities. Hopefully the innovation of this technological amenity will not follow in the footsteps of other such projects taken on by the administration such as campus-wide Internet access. This goal was most recently targete~ for return from Spring Break. Was this the second target date, or the third? Students are still holding their breath. With the sports complex, the apartment complex, the major renovations to Sacred Heart Hall and the Internet installation all seemingly on tire agenda, it is obvious that Cabrini College is receiving a major overhaul. With this in mind, one question remains. Is the administration trying to do too much at once? Complications and setbacks are understandable, but when objectives are continuously stated and then delayed, the student population can become skeptical or even surly. Perhaps an increase in communication between administrators, faculty members and students is in order. Not to say that progress is not appreciated, but why get students' hopes up? As an alternative to the overly ambitious goal setting which seems to be a characteristic of the administration's major projects, why not leave these dates open-ended until it is certain? The administration can consider this a challenge. Think twice about the amount of work involved before a deadline is targeted. Students would rather experience a wait than •a letdown. We are not asking for much. We are only asking for what we were told to expect. Loquitur is established as a forum for student expression and as a voice in the uninhibited, robust, free and open discussion of issues. EditaninCllier Kirnl>erly Sheldron ThomasMcKee

I thought taking objective tests.
These nine people have taught me a lot about life. The more mistakes we have made as a team and the more arguments we have had, the more we have learned. I am certain there are some people on the staff who will never talk to each other after this year is over. And I am certain there will be those who will be lifelong friends. So ifl had the chance, would I work on the staff another year? No way. But if I had the chance to do this year all over again, would I? Without a doubt. Regardless of any personal differences among staff members, I believe we all hold certain levels of professional respec-tfor each other. After all, there aren't too many people who would subject themselves to devoting one full year of their college lives to the campus newspaper. I realize now though that we did not really devote our lives to the newspaper. Instead, we ended up devoting this year to our futures. As I found out in a job-search techniques class I am taking this semester with Brian Jensen, employers are not really interested in how many A's and how many B's a student gets, but rather how the student applies those A's and B's. After all, what does attending class really say if students cannot apply what they have learned in the class? Employers want to see that students have taken this extra step. They want to hire students who went the extra mile to apply their knowledge. College is what each student makes of it. Cabrini provides a lot of opportunities, but it is up to the individuals to take advantage of them. Contrary to traditional ways of thinking, a college education does not always occur in the classroom with a single professor lecturing in the front and then testing students afterward. Instead one of the best college educations includes out-of-theclassroom experience, in a setting where students are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. And often, some of the best professors are your peers. If I had not joined the Loquitur staff, I may have ended up receiving only 25 percent of the education I am paying for. But I partied a little less, slept a little less, and walked, sometimes ran, that extra mile and am now receiving 125 percent of that education.

Onewoman'sstruggle tokeepherpantson
"What the hell happened, Jeanne? Did you get into a • fight with a bear?" This is just one of the several humorous, interesting and, not to mention, creative comments I receive every time I wear my favorite pair of ripped jeans. I have to admit they are not just ripped, they are shredded. These jeans are like family to me because they have been a part of my wardrobe for many, many years. If only they could talk. Now, of course, I have always gotten a few stares and some interesting facial expressions. But since I have been here at Cabrini, I have gotten some wild comments I think are definitely worth sharing. Some of the obvious ones are "Aren't you cold?" and "Where are the rest of your pants?" and "ls that the style now?" Of course, after a while, hearing the same comments repeated over and over can get a tad monotonous.
Most of the time I just smile or chuckle to humor the person. Sometimes I do not react at all. I guess it depends on my mood that day. The most common remark I get is "Do you know you have a hole in your jeans?" Usually I say, "I do?" or I politely thank the person for "making me aware of the fact that I have a hole in my jeans." I have also heard "Hey, Bon Jovi girl" and "Do you feel a draft?" and "You must have mighty big moths in your closet!" And I cannot forget the countless fights I have been in with bears, sharks, tigers and even pairs of scissors! Most people see my jeans as an outdated fashion trend of the '80s, but I see them as just something I like. If I like something, whether it is clothing, music, or movies, I am not going to stop liking it simply because other people may consider it outdated or outof-style. I like what I like. Don't get me wrong, I don't take myself too seriously. I get some great laughs out of some of the funny ideas people come up with. And I am sure it is guaranteed that after writing this article I will get even more
remarks. Feel free to keep them coming! The Advantages of Wearing Ripped Jeans: *They serve as a good source of air conditioning. *They are a convenient way to scratch those hard-to-reach areas (This is definitely an advantage for all you guys out there!) *You can wear them in summer, winter, spring or fall. *They are perfect for those situations when you have the mother-of-all wedgies, but you want to be discreet about picking it. *For all you ladies who want to show a little leg, but not too much, a good pair of ripped jeans can get the job done. •If you are looking for a little attention, wear a pair of your favorite ripped jeans to any social event and you are bound to make a fashion statement! •If you are dressing for comfort, ripped jeans are the way to go. *They are already ripped and raggedy-looking so there is no need to wash them. *Hey, if they are good enough for Bon Jovi, they can work for you too!
Letters to the editor:
Faculty members.showthey CARe Dear Editor: Thank you and Tom McKee for the wonderful coverage of the twentieth birthday of the CARe Center. I would like to clarify one point. Two of the articles commented that Dr.Arthur Young, the directorof the program, was unavailable for comment. While that was true, the reason
for Dr. Young's absence from campus was that he was at Duquesne University on a PDE team evaluating the university's certificationprograms in education. The team was also chaired by another Cabrinifaculty member,Dr. Martha Waring-Chaffee. Cabrini is proud that the Pennsylvania Departmentof Educationcalls
upon the expertise of Cabrini faculty forthese importantprofessional tasks.
Sincerely yours, Mary Ann Biller, Ph.D., vice president for enrollment management and dean of the graduate division
Reader out for blood, backs vampires Regarding the article on "Kindred: the Embraced," I am obligated to make a couple of corrections. First of all, the name of the clan is "Ventrue," not "Venture." And the clans do not run around with no purpose other than to try to outdo each other. They are vampires who must survive as they are in the modern world and try to
conceal their identities for their own protection. Julian Luna is known as the Prince, the head of all the vampire clans who manages to keep order among the different clan personalities. Actually, the show is based on a live-action role-playing game called "Vampire: The Masquerade." In this game, a plot is invented, and the char-
acters choose a clan and proceed to act out the story by improvisation (and by the way, there are more than five clans.) FOX didn't do that bad of a job with Kindred, but they ·should have stuck to the story more.

Sound Off by Chris Lomanno perspectives editor
Where doesthe cashflow? With this year's recently announced tuition increase of about 5 percent, Cabrini students were asked what they wanted to see done with the extra revenue.
Jon Eschbach, a first-year student: Didn't tuition go up last year? Where did that money go? I don't care any way, I don't pay for it.
Gavin Mirigliani,a first-yearstudent: This campus is dead on the weekends. I would like to see some kind of weekend program set up.
Brian Bugey, a first-year student: I think the money should go to the ducks. They are an important part of our campus community. Without them we are just like any other college.
MalikRasheed, a senior: I want to see it go to the Library. We need the books. People on campus without vehicles are forced to use outdated books, and they get heat from their teachers.
Angela Palazzone, a sophomore: I think the money should be used for the library to at least bring in a computerized system. And if not, it should be used wisely where it is needed.
DanielleMurray, a first-year student: I think it should go to the apartments or the sports complex or something. I just want to be able to see what is happening with the money.

Sports complex ground breaking begins Summer '96; completion December '97? by Phyl/JsCohen assistant sports editor Gil bane Building Company of Mercerville, N.J., has been hired to build ''the sports complex, and ground-breaking is scheduled for early July 1996. According to Al Mollica, vice president for institutional advancement, this date was pushed back from the original spring 1996 date because the blizzard '96 caused construction companies to reshuffle their clients, including Cabrini College. The complex is expected to take 14 to 16 months to build and should open in December 1997. Mollica said the cost of the complex is set at $6.8 million. This includes the costs of construction, equipment and furniture and site development. Of that $6.8 million, $4.5 million has already been raised. However, the exact total might be different "depending on the quality and quantity of what goes in it," Mollica said. Changes could occur when the exact prices of things like a state-of-the-art

"The goal now," Mollica said, "is to have all of the money raised by the time the complex is completed."

lion before the end of this calendar year. So far, $400,000 has been raised to meet the challenge. Fundraising has come from individual gifts, support from outside- corporations and support from the college's internal community of the college. However, Mollica said there has yet to be "support from the college community in the broadest sense." In an attempt to involve more people in this process,
plans are being made to make alumni, students and parents more active in the fundraising. "We're going to give everyone an opportunity to make a contribution to the sports complex," Mollica said. "This is our number one priority in terms of fundraising." One planned fundraiser is the seventh annual Cabrini Golf Classic, which is on May 6. All of the proceeds are going toward the sports complex. There are also plans to have
information sessions for students to receive answers to any questions they might have about the complex. However, Mollica said the rush at the end of the school year might prevent this from happening. Along with fundraising plans, there have also been plans to rearrange the internal layout of the building. Vice President of Student Development Bob Bonfiglio has been involved in meetings with the construction company concerning revisions of the floor plans of the complex. While a rough layout has been circulated, it was never definite and changes have been made for convenience and design. "We 're moving quickly now," Bonfiglio said, "so it won't be long until [the plans] are set in stone." However, the new plans are waiting for feedback from coaches and students before they are finalized. Bonfiglio said he is looking forward to having the sports complex ready for the 1997-1998 basketball season. "1'm anxious to get going," he said. "It's been a lot of fun working on it."

Cabrini College welcomes everyone to attend the Balinese Music and Dance Performance on Sunday, May 5, 1996. The dancers are from the isle of Bali and are led by I Wayan Rai. The performers include I Gusti Ayu Srinatih, I Gde Made Indra Sadguna, I Wayan Dedik Rahman, I Ode Agus Jaya Sadguna, Ni Nengah Pupuh Lastrini and Kaja McGowen. The Balinese dances are a mix of dramatic and exotic folk dancing, which are based on ancient Hindu stories. The rhythms for the music are performed by the Gemelan, or the orchestra. The orchestra includes instruments such as gongs, symbols, drums and various percussion instruments. The music is accompanied by singing performances. The main function of Bali music is to accompany ritual activity and dances. Most of
the instruments are made of bronze or bamboo. The dancers must be in sync with . the music in order to display the meaning behind the dances. These dances are still performed and rehearsed in the Balinese villages. It is an important part of the Balinese history. The ultimate aim of these dances is to create "rame," or a festive crowd with noise and dance. There are many different types of dances. For example, there are the Jauk Manis, or the masked dance and the Baris. which is the ceremonial warrior dance. The Oleg Tambulilingan is a dance where the male and female bumblebee are playing in a garden and the Panyembrama dance welcomes the guests attending the performance. The dance is open to the entire publrc and admission is free. The dance will be held in the Widener Center Lecture Hall at 3 p.m.

This year's Spring Fling enticed many students to participate in the events planned for them by the Campus Activities and Programming Board (CAP) and the Student Activities office. There was human fussball and a spaceball where students could be spun around and around until they felt nauseous. Volleyball, horseshoes ·and bocci ball were also on hand and the dance troop performed in the gym. Students in need of venting their frustrations against each other could suit up and attack each other with stuffed axes and shields. The highlights of the afternoon were performances by Strange Sun and Rugby Road, who provided the music for the event. Angela Palazzone, Spring Fling chairperson, said she thought the event was well-planned and a success. ''.Alot of people showed up. Everyone seemed to have a good time. I'm glad it got the turn-out it did," Palazzone said.

Cavs falter in PAC Championships; team finishes second in conference by BIiiy Myers assistant features editor
Cabrini's men's tennis team wavered in the wind at Allentown's courts. The Cavs took on rivals Eastern College, Beaver College and several other colleges in the surrounding area for the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Championship on April 26 and 27 at Allentown College. High on top of the Allentown courts, the Cavs played for individual and doubles titles. The team PAC champion was determined earlier in the regular season when Cabrini took on next door neighbor Eastern College. The team PAC title was to be decided by Cabrini's number six player, junior Eric Musican. Cabrini split with Eastern 3-3 and Musican was taking his opponent into the third set after splitting sets. After several long rallies, Eastern escaped with the set 6-_4, match 4-3 and the PAC Championship. Cabrini entered last week's championship match having finished second place after a long debate about Eastern 's alleged stacked lineup. According to junior Dan Dotsey, the toughest opponent was not the other player, but the wind. "It became more of a push match
and less of a tennis match," Dotsey said. Dotsey finished out the regular season with an impressive record of 21-3 and an undefeated record of 6-0 in the PAC. He lost the number one singles title to Eastern College player Chris Henderlin. His was the first of a long streak of losses to Eastern.
Junior Alex Corkhill, who had been suffering from bronchitis, lost in the semifinals to Beaver College, who eventually lost to Eastern. Corkhill and Dotsey did rally back to win the doubles title against third place Beaver College. Also losing tough matches in the PAC finals were junior Gary Egizi, who broke under the pressure of Eastern and junior Larry Zitto, who was out played by Beaver's number four player. Egizi and Zitto joined forces to battle for the number two doubles title, but they finished second to a more experienced doubles team from Eastern. Continuing the losing cycle were junior Eric Musican in the semifinal and junior Joe Devlin in the finals. Despite the turn of events, the season was not a total letdown. The entire ieam made it to the semifinals and seven out of the nine matches played were in the finals. Dotsey went undefeated in the PAC and along with Corkhill won the PAC number one doubles title. Reggie Day achieved his 300th coaching victory in regular season play. All of the members of the men's tennis team will be returning next year in an attempt to recapture the PAC championship which they won in the '93- '94 season. Next year's PAC Championships may be another year away, but Day has already begun recruiting. Day is well known around the area. With that recognition comes top players from local high schools and another chance to have a winning season based on good sportsmanship.

Since this is possjbly the last time I will ever write for Loquitur, I would like to thank a lot of people in this column. Some people might say that this message does not belong in this section, but hey, it is my column. First off I would like to thank my family. You supported me when I had stress up to my ears. You understood the late nights and were there to listen to me when I needed to talk. For that I love you. Secondly I would like to thank Dr. Zurek. More than a teacher, you have become a friend. Most of the confidence that I have now has been born out of the trust you had in me. I want to thank my friends. You understood if I was unable to hang out because of work. You helped me through some rough times this year. I hope we continue as friends throughout our lives. Next I would like to thank the staff of Loquitur. First, to the exiting editors. It has been my pleasure working with you. It has been a hard job, but you guys have made the job a little more enjoyable. This has been a close staff, and I am glad I was a part of it. Working with this group of people will always be a highlight of my life. To my partner Steph, I would like to thank her for helping me make the sports section great this year. Your talents are endless, and I am sure you will be a huge success when you leave here. Thank you to the staff writers. As much as we butted heads this year, I think you guys are great. I am looking foward to seeing how well you guys do with the papers next year as editors. I am sure you will be great. I have enjoyed seeing you grow as writers, leaders and people. For the staff as a whole, I will tell you in the words of Barry Ashbee, "Cherish this group, because there will never be another like it." Thank you all for a great year. It is a bitter-sweet feeling I have in leaving Loquitur. I am glad that the pressure is over. And I am happy to see what I have accomplished over the last two year. At the same time I will miss the camaraderie, and the "team" feeling. Loquitur has been a big part of my life for two years. I will miss it. That being said, the Flyers are going to win the Stanley Cup this year. ·They are playing good hockey right now. They have a great defense and a strong goalie. They are big. They are hungry and they can score. Enough said.
Track team qualifiesfor Penn Relays, representDivision111 .
by ChristopherDonato assistantphotographyeditor
The Cabrini College men's and women's track teams competed in the Penn Relays from Thursday, April 25 to Saturday, April 27. Cabrini was one of the few Division III teams selected to participate in this prestigous event. First-year students Chad Meekins, James Whliams, John Coleman and sophomore Far'd Nasir represented Cabrini in the 4 X 100m relay. Running against seven schools, the team finished fourth in their heat with an overall time of 43:09 seconds. Meekins started off by running the first leg of the race. Williams and Nasir followed in the second and third legs respectively. Coleman finished by running the anchor position. Williams felt his performance in the 4 X 100m relay could have afforded improvement. "I think I could have done better," Williams said. "Everyone said I ran a pretty good race, but I expect a little more from myself than everybody else does." Williams ran in the Penn Relays during high school, and he said his performance this year had improved from his high school effort.

Junior pitcher Amy McGee was a major reason why the women's team was able to make a late season surge to qualify for the PAC playoffs. After injuries sidelined two of the Lady Cavs top pitchers, she was called upon to pitch in almost every game. She respondedby leading the team to wins in ten out of their final elevengames to capture the fourth and final spot in the PAC playoffs. Marywood College, last years PAC champions," Wiederwax said. "Knowing they were the champs gave us a big boost, and we went on thinking if we could beat them we could beat any other PAC team, and we did. We only lost one PAC game after that," she said. Those two wins started a streak where the Lady Cavs would win 10 of 11 games and end the season with a mark of 11-7 in the PAC.

This record was strong enough to earn the Cavs a final playoff spot in the PAC tournament. According to Hoffman, a major setback in the season was the loss of two pitchers, firstyear students Amanda Torresani and Lisa Lazarus. That left the team with only one legitimate starter, junior Amy McGee. "Losing our pitchers really hurt us especially since we play so many doubleheaders,"
Wiederwax said. "I'm sure Amy McGee must have been very tired over the weekend and in our last game, Allentown definitely capitalized on that," she said. "We will pretty much have everyone back next year and the pitching should be stronger," Hunsberger said. Wiederwax added, "Hopefully Misericordia will lose a few players, and we'll gain a few."
Women'slaxreflects onsuccessful season; lookforward tobecoming PACteamnextyear by Adam Todd staff writer
• After completing their inaugural season, the Lady Cavs lacrosse team was able to reflect on their accomplishments. While many players were skeptical about their potential at the beginning of the season, by season's end they had compiled a winning record of six wins and four losses. The team is considered a club sport this year, but will move to the National Collegiate Athletic Association next year. The team is also due to become the newest member of the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference next season. "I think we had a very successful season considering this was our first year and we were a club team playing an
NCAA schedule," sophomore Denise Sacca said. According to the players, much of the team's success is due to the hard work and dedication of head coach Jackie Neary. Sophomore co-captain Theresa McFadden said, "Coach's examples of dedication and hard work sparked the desire we needed as a team to succeed." Junior co-captain Jane Boy le agreed. "Jackie played a big role in our success," Boyle said. "She was very determined that we would do well." First-year student Leslie Kerrigan also appreciated Neary 's coaching style. "Coach let everyone develop their skills in an appropriate manner," Kerrigan said. "She allowed the inexperienced players to develop their skills while allowing the veteran players to show leadership."
Sophomore Donna Falcone was impressed with the teamwork supplied by her teammates. "The players who never played before turned out to be our largest assets," said Falcone. "And the experienced players helped the younger players to develop their skills." * Respect was nQteasily gained, according to Falcone. "Many of the teams in the PAC did not take us seriously this season," Falcone said. "I think as the season went on many of these teams realized our potential to be one of the top teams in the PAC next year," she said. Sacca agreed with Falcone saying, "I think the season we had will have to pave the way for us next year. "We really made a name for ourselves," she said. The team does not seem to be satisfied with the success they tasted this year.
"This was a great first-year season for a first-year program," Falcone said, "however we are looking to improve our record next year as an NCAA team." McFadden agreed, "Next year we will have basically the same team we had this year with a few new recruits. We are looking forward to joining the PAC and the NCAA." First-year student Amanda Moore said that competition for starting positions will increase next year with the arrival of new players. Moore believes this will contribute to the team's ongoing efforts to improve. According to Falcone, recruiting will be a major factor in the success of the future of the program. "Jackie had been working hard recruiting incoming first year students for the team next year," said Falcone. "Ifwe are
able to bring in a lot of recruits, it could help take us to the next level." Boyle will not be with the Lady Cavs next year due to her graduation in December of this year. "I'm going to miss these girls," Boyle said. "We really bad a great time and came together as a team. I want to wish them good luck next season in the NCAA and in the PAC." While Boyle will be missed, the nucleus of the team is returning and hoping to pick up where they left off this year. "I think it is going to be harder next year because we can't catch anyone off guard," Falcone said. "Everyone knows that we will be a threat next year, but I am looking forward to the challenge," she said.
