offered some tips about how Cabrini athletes and all students in general can eat the healthiest on and off campus.

Now I know what everyone is initially thinking, "How am I supposed to eat healthy in the cafeteria and wigwam?" Sue Fitzgerald said the key to eating healthy in any forum is "the choices you make," whether it be in a restaurant, the cafeteria, or even your own home. She said to substitute fresh juices and water instead of soda.

Try a turkey sandwich with a side salad in- stead of a burger and fries, Instead of white bread try whole wheat or grain. Of course for the dreaded dessert, have a piece of fresh fruit or low fat frozen yogurt, instead of cake or brownies. These are simple choices that can essentially make a world of difference in your daily diet.

With athletes particularly in mind, Sue Fitzgerald said before a game or practice to eat foods high in carbohydrates for energy, and always remember to have a healthy breakfast. She also stressed upon the fact that athlete's should make a point to make up meals they miss because of a game or practice scheduling.

Her last notes, which she stressed mostly upon were, "Don't eat if you are not hungry, and don't keep going up to eat at the cafeteria just because the food is there." She also said an important tip is to save food exchange (wigwam) for once or twice a week because of lack of variety, as a special treat. And sorry, guys, "no Campus Comer."

Philadelphia Flyers fans halted the home opener on Thursday, Sept. 20 with shouts and boos due to President Bush.

The Flyers and the Rangers began a scheduled game on the ice Thursday, following the United State's terrorist attacks.

Play was stopped before the third period, as the first Union Center Jumbotron television presented President Bush's address to congress.

After a break time expenditure, an announcement was made to people that they should watch the remainder of the speech from the concourse. Upon bearing this, a mass of Philadelphia bodies booed then chanted at the Jumbotron, according to Comcast Spectator press releases.

"Leave it on! Leave it on!" they shouted.

The coaches of the teams quickly decided on a 2-2 tie and hockey players and fans watched the address for the remainder of the evening on a giant screen.
