Isearching for something to do?

Withso many clubs and activities on campus, this school should never be interpreted as boring. Although it is understandable that some people do not have an interest in certain clubs and organizations, there are a plethora of different clubs and organizations on campus that most likely would be able to fill anyone's desire to become an involved student. For example, just to name a few, there are the Campus Activities and Programming (CAP) Board, the Radio Club, the Dance Team and the Ski Club. Some of these clubs, such as the Dance Team and the Ski Club, are relatively new to the college.

Cabrini's own dance team shows what they have in the Dixon Center at one of last year's basketball games.
The Dance Team was created last year, with much success, in place of the cheerleading team that went awry. Their season opens at Midnight Madness, which generally takes place in October, and continues throughout the entire basketball season by performing during halftime at all of the men's basketball team home games. During the season, the Dance Team holds fundraisers, such as raffles and spaghetti dinners, which not only benefit the team, but also the campus community. If anyone has questions about the Dance Team, or wants to join, please contact Gina Roswell (x3101) or Amanda Cappelli (x3164).
The Ski Club is also a relatively new club on campus. So new, in fact, that this is its first year in existence. Joe Coyle, a first-year admissions counselor, is in charge of coordinating activities for the Ski Club. However, Coyle wants to make known that the club "will basically be student run," in that he "will try to go anywhere that the students think would be fun." So far, his plan is to take short and long trips, which would include going to the Poconos on weeknights and a few bus trips per month to Vermont. No skiing experience is necessary, but it is required that members either own or rent their own skiing equipment, as the college does not provide any equipment. Coyle plans to have an introductory meeting in October to discuss the club's activities and can be reached at x8553 for inquiries about the Ski Club. The CAP Board is a rather large club on campus that has been around for at least five or six years. As this is his first year as club president, Colin McGinley sees much success for the upcoming school year. "It's a lot of work but my co-chairmen are really, really good at what they do," McGinley said.
There are eight big events that the CAP
Board sponsors every year: Fall and
(allday activities with live bands and food), the Haunted Trail, the Fall Gala and the Hat & Tie (two semi-formal dances), 12 Days of Christmas, Siblings weekend and the Superthon (semester-long program to raise money for a charitable cause). The CAP Board is a strictly volunteer organization that accepts members on a rolling basis. Colin can be contacted at x8714 with any questions about the CAP Board. One final club at Cabrini is the radio club. Krista Mazzeo, a Cabrini College graduate, is the adviser of WYBF 89.1, 'The Burn." The airwaves on 89.1 belong to Cabrini Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8am2am and half of Sundays. The rest of the hours are shared with Villanova because the two colleges both petitioned the FCC for air space at the same time, so combining was a much more effective way to distribute the air waves. Anyone can join, with or without prior training. If anyone is interested in joining the Radio Club, please contact Mazzeo at x8363.
'The Mole 2' returns for another season of betrayal
The reality television craze continues. With "Fear Factor'' pushing the envelope this summer by having contestants eat sheep's eyes, it is hard to tell what will be next for viewers to watch. The Loquitur will sift through some of the many new reality shows premiering this season and say which ones will be voted off and which ones will survive.

In the "returning favorites" category is 'The Mole 2: The Next Betrayal." This season, ABC will try to relive its previous success and create a new reality television phenomenon. 'The Mole" will return this season offering viewers some of the style that they are used to from the first season as well as special interactive features to let them get literal- ly caught up in the action.
For those of you who missed last season, "The Mole" differs slightly from the other reality series. Like in other shows, 14 players compete in physical and mental challenges to work towards an ultimate reward. However, one of the 14 is not one of them. He or she is the Mole. The Mole tries to sabotage missions without getting caught. The other contestants must work with each other while at the same time try to figure out who the Mole is. At the end of each round, the players are asked to take a quiz about the Mole, and whoever knows the least about the Mole is eliminated. Also different from the other shows, 'The Mole" has the players earn money for each task they complete that is added to a pot of prize money. Ultimately only one person can win all the money which can reach $1 million.
